I have no idea what happened but I think I fixed it


; Ai's Side

The cyan haired teen was walking to the school when he got a text from yet again an unknown number, however he recognized this number as his own.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya [1800-123-4567]
From: 124-433-2355
Message: Hello, this is Kuroko Tetsuya. Good luck in practice Mikaze-kun.

He didn't understand. One thing is for sure though; this 'Kuroko' is definitely taking his place. He decided to text back Kuroko.

Text Sent;
To: 124-433-2355
From: Kuroko Tetsuya
Message: Thank you for the message, Tetsuya. Don't forget to make sure Syo and Shinomiya are up at 4:44.

He then started to continue to walk to the school named Seirin.

"Oi, Kuroko! You're late!" The stranger, whom Ai learned was named Kagami Taiga, stated once he spotted him.

"Sorry, Kagami-kun. I just needed to do something." He replied, walking into the gym some more. He noticed that his voice was the same and wondered how different Kuroko's voice was compared to his.

"What was so important that you had to ditch the first few minutes to practice, eh, Kuroko?" A female voice asked. Ai turned to face the voice and recognized her as Riko, the coach that gave deadly work outs.

"I got lost" He replied truthfully, getting blank stares from Kuroko's team mates.

"Go run 50 laps for lying" Riko commanded, a deadly aura emitting from her presence. Ai obeyed, but he knew he couldn't last more than 3 laps.

Once he clasped, indeed on the 3rd lap, Riko yelled at him to continue. Ai told her to wait a bit, after a series of light coughing and heavy breathing. Ai wasn't trained nor built to do this exercise. He had to wonder, 'Why am I doing this?' He dismissed the thought and continued, feeling his arms and legs stiffen up a bit, and his overdrive over heating. He gave up on his 5th lap, not being able to take it anymore.

"What's up with Kuroko?" Hyuuga asked, watching Kuroko panting hard; even though it was only his fifth lap. "He never had trouble with 5 laps before, let alone 3"

"Maybe he's having a bad day?" Izuki suggested.

"He did forget that there was early practice today..." Kagami recalled. "I wonder what's going on"

"Whatever the case is, Riko doesn't seem to like it" Kiyoshi observed, looking over at the fuming brunette that was currently tripling Kuroko's training menu. They watched as the boy they thought as Kuroko took a deep breath and began running again, the look on his face was clear;

He was purely exhausted and could pass out at any moment.

He couldn't run anymore than 9; which Kuroko's teammates found odd; but didn't question. Right when he finished the 9th lap, it was time for school to start. Ai sighed in defeat while getting his bag and navigating his way to the classroom on the block schedule he thankfully found; after getting yelled at by Riko. He decided to send Kuroko a timed text for 5 am his time.

To: Mikaze Ai
From: Kuroko Tetsuya
Message: Hello Tetsuya. I hope you have no problem finding Saotome's office. There will be other people in the room; Reiji, Ranmaru, and Camus. I hope you are able to recognize each one. The class is starting now so I have to go. Good luck.


; Kuroko's Side

Kuroko had no idea how to cook so he stared blankly at the kitchen's layout.

"How am I supposed to do this..." Kuroko wondered, regretting to not ask Kagami for cooking lessons before. He sighed and decided to just skip breakfast. Maybe he could buy something to eat later? He shook his head and was about to head out when he heard someone call 'his' name.

"Ai-Ai!" The stranger called. Kuroko turned around to address him and saw a tallish, childlike brunt approach him. Kuroko recognized him as Kotobuki Reiji, one of Ai's co-workers.
"Are you done eating all ready? I wanted you to make me something," he pouted.

"Make it yourself" Kuroko replied, feeling bad about the harshness in his tone. He then realized that his voice was the same. He wondered how different it was compared to Ai's.

"Ehh? But you always agree to!" the latter exclaimed. Kuroko thought a bit and replied,

"I don't recall ever doing something for you." Kuroko currently had his index finger against his chin, head tilted a bit, as if he was trying to remember that particular scene. Then again, he had no memory what so ever about the brunt in front of him. Reiji pouted once again and proceeded to go to the fridge to pull out ingredients.

"You always did have a good memory..." He mumbled. "I thought it would work on you today" Kuroko walked out, stifling out a soft 'jeez' and headed to the room he awoke in earlier.

He looked at the time and saw that it was 4:50 am. He looked at the two sleeping blonds on the bunk bed and couldn't help but wonder why they had to wake up at precisely 4:55 am. Sure, they had to practice with... What was it, singing? But why did they have to practice so early?

"Riko never made us wake up this early..." Kuroko thought aloud. He looked at his watch and saw it was 4:55, the time he had to wake them up. He didn't know how Ai woke them up, though, and ending up just staring at them. Before he could speak, the one with glasses woke up, somewhat energetically.
"Syo-chan, wake up before we get off schedule!" He had said, shaking the smaller blond. Kuroko watched as the seemingly shorter blond got up groggily and followed the taller one into the bathroom to get ready for the day.

"That was strange... And a weird way to wake up" Kuroko observed silently. He shook his head and decided to work on the next thing on 'his' scheduled, though it wasn't nearly time for it yet. When he was about to, he felt a compulsion to stop working and do something else. Kuroko furrowed his eyebrows and right when he was about to click something, he got a text.

To: Mikaze Ai
From: Kuroko Tetsuya
Message: Hello Tetsuya. I hope you have no problem finding Saotome's office. There will be other people in the room; Reiji, Ranmaru, and Camus. I hope you are able to recognize each one. The class is starting now so I have to go. Good luck.

'I hope Mikaze-san is doing alright with Riko...' Kuroko wished. He decided to take a walk around the building after sending him a text back.

To: Kuroko Tetsuya
From: Mikaze Ai
Message: I also wish you luck, Mikaze-kun. I hope you don't have any trouble with Riko-san. If you have any practice games, you should notify me; granted I'm not busy with your work.


If you're confused with a text messages, "To/From: Kuroko Tetsuya" is Ai and "To/From: Mikaze Ai" is Kuroko. Is you're confused, don't worry. I got confused while typing it. I hope you've enjoyed this chapter!
