Chapter 5: New Friends, Old Enemies
Kagami came downstairs from his room he had to share with Kuroko. He woke up before anyone else in the house so he had to be quiet. He went into the kitchen to make himself breakfast.
Lucky Charms, Cheerios, Frosted Flakes. He read his choices to himself before choosing Fruit Loops and filled a bowl to the rim. He poured in milk and notice that his cereal was overflowing. He put the milk back into the fridge and got out a spoon. He then went back to his food to find Murisakibara drinking out of his bowl. He didn't register this for about 3 seconds. In those 3 seconds Murisakibara finished off the rest of the cereal.
"Did you just.. eat my cereal?", Kagami asked raising his voice on the last 3 words. Murisakibara nodded and spoke, "Yea, whatever it's called. American food is good. I enjoyed that more than some of my snacks."
Kagami put his hand on his face and sighed. Since he was the host he basically had to treat everyone. He went to get more from himself and stopped to watch Kise stumble down the stairs. Kise then fell face first onto the ground and started to snore. Kagami looked over at Murisakibara but it seemed that he was surprised in the same way. Murisakibara looked back at Kagami and shrugged.
Midorima and Himuro came down next after they heard the thump of Kise falling. Midorima looked at Kise on the ground sleeping and then proceeded to stepped over him. Himuro followed in the same way with a confused look on his face.
"Kise has a habit of sleepwalking.", Midorima said as he took the box of Lucky Charms from Kagami. Kagami looked at him and laughed. "It's a habit?"
Akashi came down next to find Kise still on the ground. He proceeded to pick up Kise and smack him. This didn't work as Akashi thought it would. Confused Akashi dropped Kise on the couch and went into the kitchen. He filled a glass full of water and then went back to the couch.
Kagami knew what he was doing. He did this to Hyuga once for fun, but Akashi looked serious while he was doing this. Akashi dumped the the cup of water onto Kise's face.
Kise was up in a flash sputtering and trying to escape what had happened. Kise opened his eyes and noticed he wasn't in his room anymore. "What happened? Why am I drenched? Why am I down here and not in my room?" he said franticly. Everyone laughed.
Aomine and Kuroko came downstairs 10 minutes later. Now that everyone was up they deiced to eat something before they went to to L.A. After they ate they all showered and changed into basketball clothes which contained of sleeveless t-shirts and athletic shorts.
Before they left, Kagami left a note for his dad stating that they were just going to Sunset Park. This park was near the beach and people would watch the sunset from there. It's also where a lot of the best ballers in L.A. hung out. Everyone was up for the challenge of course because they faced the toughest of streetballers.
There was a walk on 3 vs. 3 tournament that day. Everyone wanted to enter but they only had enough to make 2 teams and left 2 people out. Kuroko suggested that they find another person to join the 2 that were left out. They all agreed to this and set out to recruit.
Kagami, Akashi, and Kuroko formed Team Red (Kuroko didn't care about the name) while Aomine, Kise, and Murisakibara formed Team Z. Himuro and Midorima were the odd ones out.
"I'll see if one of those guys wants to be apart of our team." Himuro said. Midorima adjusted his glasses in an agreement way. He only needed someone who could pass to him and he would do the rest. Himuro returned within 10 seconds with a player. They decided to call themselves Team Shot.
15 minutes later, the rules were announced. Game to 25, 2s and 3s, Refs would call fouls, any bad intentional displays would be automatic disqualification. The tournament bracket was then posted. First round no one was playing each other which they thought was great so they wouldn't have to worry. All 3 teams made it through round 1 without trouble.
"That was easy. They didn't even score a point. Not like they could help it tho. Our defense was too much for them.", Murisakibara said as they went back to the bracket poster. Kise informed the bracket updaters that they won.
Aomine looked at the scores that were posted.
Team Red: 25 - Team Hawk: 7
Team Z: 25 - Team Street: 0
Team Shot: 25 - Team Break: 16
"Looks like everyone won. Who plays next?", Aomine said. Murisakibara looked at the list.
Round 2: 1st Game- Team Shot vs. Team Jab
"Team Shot vs. Team Jab..? Who names a team that?", Murisakibara asked.
"What do we have here. It's the monkeys from over the sea.", said a familiar voice
Aomine and Murisakibara froze. They knew this voice. An opponent's voice that they couldn't stand.
They both turned around to see Jason Sliver standing there behind them.
"Got a bone to pick with you two. I'll crush you both and still win the tournament.", he said.
Aomine eyes narrowed. "We'll see about that.", he said.
"This isn't good is it. There isn't a way to tell if he improved since then." Aomine thought.
A flashback when through his head to the day when the Generation of Miracles faced off against the JabberWocks.
"They said that they would become stronger." Aomine told Murisakibara as they left to find the rest of the gang.
-On a different court-
Akashi, Kuroko, and Kagami completely crushed their opponents. Team Red was moving on to the next round.
"Congrats to Team Red." The announcer said.
People cheered in the stands as the 3 exited the court.
As they walked towards the rest of the group Akashi suddenly stopped. He felt uneasy.
He turned around and saw it. The glare from something who he thought he would never see again.
"The Demon Eye?", Akashi said. Kagami and Kuroko turned to him.
"Nash is here.", Akashi said.
End of Chapter 5-
Note: I know the names I made are actually not that great. My mind was drawing blanks when I tried thinking of great names. On the other hand, the main point I wanted to write this story is coming up soon. Since Nash and Silver have been mention everyone could probably guess whats gonna happen but don't worry, it's gonna be epic.
