Story Alert: cliché, and OOC, I think?
The game started and it was Kagami who was holding the ball.
"I feel sorry towards Kagamicchi" Kise crossed his arms and sighed
"What do you mean by that?" Kasamatsu asked him that made the other Seirin looked at him too
"Well, uhm, let see, how can I say this, but Sakuracchi is stronger than the generation of miracles" Kise said that made their jaw dropped
"Sakura-chan's ability is far more than that. She has her own style of playing, but it's rarely to be seen by in game." Momoi added
"Kagamicchi sure beaten the members of generation of miracles, however the members were spread to different schools. He also played with his team. But what do you think will happen if Seirin played the Generation of Miracles members in one game?"
They all looked at Kuroko for an answer "Seirin will lost badly. Seirin is strong, but when Generation of Miracles are in one team, ever though they lack in team work, they'll surely win"
"But what is that connected to Kuroko's girlfriend?" Koganei asked
"The five generation of miracles played against her when we were in middle school. It was 5 against 1. We people who were watching though that the five would automatically win, but Akashi-kun said not to underestimate her. She's stronger than Akashi-kun" Momoi explained but made their jaws dropped down "more to that, we didn't expect her to be that strong. Midorima couldn't shoot his long range, Daiki couldn't play his game too. Everyone couldn't move. I didn't know myself why though"
"She put pressure to us. We were under a great pressure that time. It was hard to move. You could feel that you were playing against five person with great ability." Kise continued "but year after that, Kurokocchi became regular and he played on Akashi's place. We were losing before he entered, but we tied on before the game ended. But suddenly she became serious and we lost again."
"After that she said I will start to hate your team if you play like that, until now we don't know why she said that. Then we found out that she became Tetsu's girlfriend." Momoi sniffed and tears gathered in her eyes "It was then Akashi found out. Akashi-kun didn't want at first but Sakura-chan asked him for one on one game."
"Akashicchi lost against her sister. Well he eventually accepted it because she won against him, but after that Sakuracchi needed to transfer to America" Kise then sighed "I was rejected by her multiple times then ended up with Kurokocchi"
"Why do you need to tell about that part?" Kuroko asked them then turned to the court to watch
"Wait wait wait!" Riko interrupted them "what do you mean by lost against her sister? Aren't we talking about Sakura?"
"Kurokocchi, they don't know?" Kise asked
"I don't know, I can't remember if she mentioned it. Akashi Sakura, she's his twin sister" Kuroko told them that again they lost their soul
"It'm still confused. She's a girl, right?" Koganei asked
"You still don't get it? You dimwit?" Hyuga pushed his glass and with serious tone he continued "right now, what does he feel? It's been time since the game started but Kagami hasn't moving nor Sakura-san"
"Sakura's ability is far more than the members of Generation of miracles. I found out about that when we had one on one" Aomine said then smirked "Good thing she's a girl"
"Why? Why do I have this feeling that there's five of her in front of me? What's with this pressure?"
"Kagami-kun" Kagami was interrupted with his thought and looked at her. She was standing in front of her, smiling "You should hold the ball tighter"
"Sakura-san becomes different person once she entered the court. But it's been a while since I saw her become serious" Kuroko thought
"Let's do this Kagami-kun, you win when you got one point. Or even when you passed me" she smiled but Kagami felt that she was serious. Pressure and sweat covered Kagami
"She's has the emperor rule ability. She's like Akashi!" Kagami told himself and gritted his teeth "You bitch. Then same with you! You win if you got one point from me!"
"That's not a bad deal. I really don't want to sweat now because I wanted to hang out later with Tetsuya-kun. Then," Sakura smiled and squinted her eyes "You'll just drop the ball and know your place" She commanded with her cold voice and emperor aura. Kagami lost the ball and fall down on his knees.
"Akashi" he remembered the time Akashi did it to him during the winter cup
Sakura picked up the ball and looked down at Kagami "Sorry Kagami-kun, game over" she shoot the ball with just one hand and it was shoot. "I'm a nice person, but when it comes down to basketball, I'm more sovereign than my brother." She walked away from Kagami and approached toward Kuroko who had a towel and bottled water "Tetsuya-kun," tears gathered in the corner of her eyes
"I knew you'll cry after that. So why don't you sit down first and calm down Sakura-san?"
"EH?!" The others didn't know what just happened and in their eyes Sakura had two personality. On the other hand, Kise, Aomine, and Momoi sighed as they knew that she would do that
"Wait a minute, Kise?! What is the meaning of that?" Kasamatsu was freaking out
"Well, as you all know. She's a nice girl. Once someone asked her for a match, her character would change into someone great. But once it's over, she'll return to her true self, a cry and coward one" Kise explained
Kagami went to them still shocked to what happened. Kuroko approached him with towel in his hand and bowed down "Kagami-kun, I'm sorry for what just happened"
Kuroko, you bitch, what do you mean by that?" Kagami grabbed Kuroko's head
"Sakura-san is a nice person. It's just that, she likes basketball that she became very serious when it comes to that. Don't get angry towards her" Kuroko said sincerely
"I don't get mad easily because of that" Kagami shouted at him
"But Kagami-kun, it feels like you want to crush my head" Kuroko reverted to his old way of conversation with Kagami
"You-" Kagami just sighed in defeat and grabbed the towel in his hand "Besides it's not something you need to explain so sincerely"
"I need to. She's my girlfriend and Kagami-kun is my friend" shaded of reds formed in everyone's face, well except for Aomine, who heard what Kuroko said.
"So she's really your girlfriend" Kagami again asked for confirmation
"Yes, also Kagami-kun. You sure also felt that she's like Akashi-kun, well, she's his twin sister" Kuroko said then left Kagami and went to Sakura who was hugging Number 2 because she was happy to hear what Kuroko said
"Eh?!" Kagami blinked and still couldn't sink in his hand the fact
Hours later, the Kaijo High basketball team arrived and they had their practice game. It was again intense, yet Seirin won by one point.
Seirin team decided to have a dinner after the game, and Momoi, Aomine, Kasamatsu, and Kise tagged along. Aomine didn't want to come but still tagged along when he felt he was hungry.
They were on their way and everyone was walking in a large group. However, Kuroko and Sakura were at the end following them. Kuroko was holding number 2
"He really likes you" Sakura looked at Number 2 "You two really have the same eyes
"I picked him, but we easily got along with each other. By the way Sakura-san, when are you going back to America?"
"Ah, tomorrow evening." She answered in low voice
"That's fast. Does Akashi-kun knows your back?"
She shook her head tried to smile "Sei didn't know. Nor no one knows I came back. I went straight to see you"
"Eh? You should at least Akashi-kun that you are coming and instead go to him first. He'll worry" Kuroko said but tears gather around her eyes, and Kuroko wasn't aware of that
"I just want to see you, idiot Tetsuya-kun. If I tell him, he'll surely found out what happened in America" she though then stopped walking "Then I'll go now. I'll go see Seijuro" she turned around then ran away from him
"Sakura-san?" Kuroko wondered.
"Kurokocchi, hurry up!" Kise called him while the others entered an okonomiyaki restaurant. Aomine was behind Kise and also waited for Kuroko to hurry up. Kuroko walked toward him with still unsettled feeling "Where's Sakuracchi?"
"Kise, Aomine, Kuroko?" They all look to the one who called them and to their surprise it was Midorima "What are you doing here?" He asked while holding a teddy bear in his hand
"Well, we'll be having a dinner. Want to join us?" Kise responded
"Thank you but we'll refused. Akashi asked me to meet up with him" Midorima pushed his glass and was about to leave when he felt his phone vibrated "Akashi? No we haven't seen her. I'll contact you once if I see her on the way"
"Are you looking for someone?" Aomine asked in curiosity
"It's rare for you to ask Aomine. But I'll answer you, but I don't know if it's concern you"
"Just answer! I'm also curious Midorimacchi" Kise shouted but then Takao came running
"You, what's with this look for this person?! I don't even know who that person is?!" Takao shouted then realized Kuroko and the others "What are you doing here?"
"Anyway, we need to find her. I don't know if it concerns you, but surely it concerns Kuroko" Midorima looked at Kuroko "Sakura came back"
"Yeah we know. We saw her a while ago" Kise responded immediately "She won against Kagamicchi"
"Oh, so you met her already. Then where is she?"
"She said that she we'll go to Akashi-kun" Kuroko answered then Midorima took his phone and called Akashi
"Akashi, Kuroko said that she went to see you. She was with them a while ago, I got it."
"Midorimacchi?" Kise wondered
"Well, I don't intend to hide this. But hearing that you let her go away means that she didn't told you" Midorima sighed then continued "She ran away from home. She went back here in America without anyone knowing. Sakura, Sakura was bullied in her school"
Kuroko's eyes widened as he heard what Midorima said. Without any hesitance, Kuroko ran to the direction where Sakura went.
"You guys, aren't you going inside?" Kagami went out to call them "Where's Kuroko and her girlfriend"
"Sorry Kagamicchi, can you tell Kasamatsu-san that I need to go" Kise ran to follow Kuroko and same with Aomine, Midorima and Takao, they followed Kuroko
"What's with that?" Kagami was left alone and just told them what just happened.
On the other hand, Kuroko was running around the city to look for Sakura. He knew to himself that he did wrong.
He ran and ran and in the end, he couldn't find her. He tried to call her phone but it was turned off.
"Ah" Kuroko suddenly remember something and again ran. He arrived in front of a school. He entered the school ground and headed to the gym. The light was on and the sound of the ball could be heard outside. When he looked inside the gym, Sakura was there shooting continuously without any missed.
Kuroko silently entered the gym and put down his gym bag on the side. Number 2 sat still on Kuroko's bag as he watched Sakura.
"It's rare to see you here, Akashi-san" Kuroko spoke that startled Sakura. Even though she looked at him, the ball went it "That was amazing!"
"What are you doing here at night, Kuroko-kun?" Sakura picked one ball again and dribbled
"Same question goes to you, Akashi-san. I'm here to have a little practice" Kuroko picked one ball too and shoot with what Aomine taught him "Two years ago, I couldn't do that" he chuckled then turned to Sakura whose tears were flowing on her cheeks "Sakura-san?!"
"Sorry, it's just that, it was the same time when we talked." She shoot and it went in "Seriously, I hate that I am this good in basketball"
Kuroko approached her and wiped the tears on her cheeks "You'll eventually meet someone that is in par of you"
Sakura shook her head and smile "I wanted to meet her. Sure that's what I wanted to say"
"Do you want to sit?" Kuroko suggested and she nodded the two sat down on the gym floor "Sorry about a while ago, I said something you didn't want me to say"
"I was the wrong one. I acted selfishly"
"I'm willing to listen" Kuroko held her hand that made Sakura blushed
"Tetsuya-kun is acting as a boyfriend again" she chuckled
"Sakura-san, I am your boyfriend"
"Hehehe, even though I was the one who asked you out, you agreed to me. I was really thankful" Sakura moved closer to Kuroko "I was at the basketball team in America. We always win. My team mates didn't know how good I was in basketball, since they only let me play once in a while. It was then one of my team mate got really mad to my friend. She was at fault but blamed my friend. She quit basketball because of that and eventually transferred school. Because I love basketball I couldn't quit. That girl, who blamed my friend, became over confident and told everyone that no one could beat her. During our practice game, I accidentally shoot a long range. The ball went in and everyone was amazed. I didn't one to be on the spotlight. She and her friend got mad at me. So after school they asked me for a match. It was supposed to be one on one, but it turned out that it would be all six of them against me. At first I was losing, but I really got mad because of their foul play, so I got serious, and they lost badly. After that day, I didn't know but everyone in the team started glaring at me. I found out that those girls spread rumors that I was making fun of them that they suck and I looked down at them. Days passed and it became more serious that everyone in the school turned against me. And recently, I was struck by a car because one of my schoolmate pushed me on the road. Fortunately it was a slight damage, but it was scary enough that made my whole body trembled. I was hospitalized for two days, and that was the time I ran away and went back here" Tears overflowed as Sakura told Kuroko what she experienced in America
"You didn't tell anyone? Why didn't you tell me when we were talking?" Kuroko's gripped on Sakura's hand became more intense and he was really pissed
"I didn't want you to worry, same to Seijuro. Don't get mad Tetsuya-kun" Sakura lowered her head more and her tears flowed
Kuroko was pissed. He knew that he wanted to do something with those people who hurt her. But it was futile. He also knew that he couldn't do anything. But then he took his handkerchief and wiped Sakura's tears. "Sorry, I couldn't do anything that's why I'm really pissed right now. But I really wanted you to tell me that earlier." Kuroko continued wiping her tears. "For now, I'm glad you told me. But you should tell Akashi-kun about this too. He's worried about you and they are going around the city looking for you"
"But Seijuro was the one who told me to go there. I didn't want him to feel bad about it. Also, for sure he would send me to another country again. I just wanted to stay here"
"Then I'll talk to Akashi-kun" Sakura looked at him and she saw in his eyes that he was serious
"But-"
"Sakura-san, it's better if you stay here." Sakura nodded and hugged Kuroko that made Kuroko blushed "S-Sakura-san?"
"I really love you. I really, really do."
Kuroko was still not used to physical interaction because Sakura left two months after they started going out. He hesitantly hugged back but felt warm when he hugged her.
They stayed in that position for several minutes until Number 2 came near them.
"Ah, number 2, sorry for making you worried" Sakura brushed Number 2 and he wagged his tail.
"Let's go back to everyone. They sure are worried" before Kuroko stood up, Sakura grabbed his hand and stole a kiss from Kuroko. She evilly smiled that left Kuroko blanked out
"That was my way of thanking you" she stood up and Kuroko just stared at her "Tetsuya-kun?" Kuroko put his hand on her cheek and without knowing he kissed her. When their lips parted, Kuroko returned to himself and just realized to what he just did
"Ah, eh, uhm, sorry, that was, ah" Kuroko tried to explained but he was stuttering.
"I don't mind, actually. I was just shocked because it was the first time. Well, before we go back can you help me clean this up?"
The two cleaned the gym and put back the equipment to where it should be. Once they were done, Sakura held Kuroko's hand and they walked out of the Teiko Middle School's gymnasium. Kuroko called Kise and eventually they met up with them. Kise was with Aomine and the Seirin team. Kise just told them that Sakura was missing but didn't told them about what Midorima said. Kise on the other hand, told Akashi and Midorima that they met up with Kuroko and Sakura. Ten minutes passed and Akashi came with Midorima, Takao and Murasakibara
"Sakura" Akashi called her and with his cold voice everyone's spine thrilled "You'll go back to America tomorrow. Let's go home"
"Seijuro, I had no plan on going back to America" Sakura said in low voice. Akashi squinted his eyes and she felt that he was against in her decision. She tightened her gripped on Kuroko's hand as she lowered her head. She tried not to cry
"Akashi-kun" Kuroko spoke and everyone's attention turned to him "I heard what happened to her in America." Kuroko then bowed down and pleaded to Akashi "Please let her stay here. I don't want her to get hurt again, so please"
"Kurokocchi"
"Kuroko"
"Tetsu-kun"
Everyone was surprised to what Kuroko did. Akashi however didn't please to what he did and still stick on his decision
"Akashi-kun, I know that you also care about her because she's your sister, but I don't want her to get into accident again. I don't want her to feel alone again. Because she's my girlfriend, I want to protect her. So please let her stay here"
