Chapter 2: Who Do You Think You Are

Kuroko had gotten up and went to school that morning. He left the house quietly and locked up since he was the only one there during that time. Walking to school, he wondered if it would be alright for him to join the basketball club like Momoi had said to. Sure he loved basketball but he wasn't sure if it would be enough since that wasn't the only thing you needed in order to succeed. He continued walking towards the school grounds and on the way, he saw a familiar face who came from around the corner in front of him. He turned towards him and waved, revealing a smile that seemed to have a hidden meaning to it, as if it were hiding what he was actually thinking, though it seemed like it was a friendly hello sort of smile on top of that.

Kuroko didn't show any change in expression but underneath, he was a bit surprised by the other. After all, this person had noticed him two days in a row after his first glance. The blue haired boy walked towards the other who seemed to be waiting for him and when he caught up, the two walked onwards together. "So how was your book? You finish it?" The red headed boy asked.

"Hai, it was good." Kuroko responded. The other looked satisfied. Kuroko looked at the other boy and instantly noticed his eyes. It was the same yesterday as his eyes were the first things he noticed after his hair, he did acknowledge that his eyes were heterochromatic but it wasn't really as noticeable since one was just a tad more colored red than the other. Either way, he'd still consider it to be heterochromatic despite the minor change.

"I believe I haven't introduced myself yesterday." The boy pulled Kuroko out of his thought. "That was definitely rude of me but I knew that I would meet you again, since I'm never wrong." The boy said in a cocky tone. Kuroko just looked and listened, not wanting to comment on his words. "I'm Akashi Seijuro, class 1-D."

"Kuroko Tetsuya, class 1-A." Kuroko responded.

"So, Tetsuya," Akashi started, using Kuroko's first name right off the bat, "today classes are suspended so that we can take a look at the new clubs. Would you like to join one with me?" Akashi offered.

"Maybe, but I already promised someone else that I would join with them." Kuroko said. Akashi just raised an eyebrow at him. No one had defied him before, even if he was just giving an offering towards the boy.

"Is that so, well, I'll still be looking forward to you seeing the club at least once before you make your final decision." Akashi said. "You never know, you may change your mind." The red haired teen wasn't really sure as to why he pushed on the subject but he didn't ponder on it any longer as he saw Kuroko suddenly dodge a little kid who nearly ran straight into him along with his mother, who was not too far behind. Akashi just watched as Kuroko didn't say a word to the two people who nearly knocked him over.

"I'm sorry." The woman said to the boys as she then took off to get her child back. Kuroko just stared blankly but Akashi could tell that the woman had directed her apology towards him and not his friend, whom she had almost bowled over not so long ago. He took a mental note as to why this was but as they continued to walk, he had started to notice things, similar to the event, happen repeatedly; bicycles nearly running him over, water nearly being dumped on him from the side house residents, all sorts of things. Even a bird came crashing towards them, colliding with the poor boy's head.

Kuroko just sat up and rubbed his forehead while the bird shook itself from dizziness and took to the sky once again, not knowing what had happened. People around them had seen the scene but were all gasping about why the bird had suddenly fell backwards and glad that it didn't hit the unsuspecting red head. Akashi just looked dumbfounded and was more surprised at how Kuroko just ignored it all and continued his walk as though it was all normal for him.

Akashi added to his mental note as he reached some sort of conclusion. Meanwhile, Kuroko wasn't very sure why the sudden silence between them when the other had decided to start walking with him but he didn't mind and didn't want to push a conversation since the other seemed to be deep in thought. "Akashi-kun, we're here." Kuroko said to the other, deciding to break the silence instead; opposite of his initial thought.

"Ah, it seems we are." Akashi snapped out of his thoughts. "It was an enjoyable walk and I expect to see you later at the club tables." Akashi waved his goodbye and left the invisible boy. Kuroko nodded in response and pondered on what he thought of the other. He was certainly kind but he seemed to always feel the need to be right, as it seemed with his short encounter. He also seemed to think to himself a lot as he had one hand on this chin and the other by his elbow, with his hand in a loose fist and his thumb flicking up and down as though he were holding a pen. "I guess that's just a habit of his." Kuroko shrugged and continued to his classroom.

He walked in silently, not drawing attention to himself, and went over to his seat as he slipped past Aomine and Momoi, who were talking amongst themselves. He then took his seat behind the pink haired girl. "Ne, did you know that all the clubs are setting up booths so that we can all take a look." Momoi said with excitement. "It's going to be so much fun!"

"Satsuki, you have to calm down. With that attitude, you'll start to scare people." Aomine said as his eye started to twitch a bit.

"Well, I only have my eyes set on the basketball team. With over 100 players and their regulars getting to the winter season's semi-finals last year, I think it's a pretty good start. Plus the coach is very hard working and seems encouraging enough." Momoi stated.

"How do you know all of that?" Aomine asked.

"I did a little digging around." Momoi smiled, which sort of creeped Aomine out a bit. "As the team manager, I have to be able to do this much right?"

"Sure, but I'm excited about meeting the other players, I bet there'll be strong people in this school."

"Is that all you care about?" Momoi questioned him skeptically.

"Hey, without strong players, the game isn't as fun is it? And it's more fun when you can't win." Aomine said with a big grin and laughed. (A/N: yeah, I made Aomine say it before Kagami, deal with it) Momoi just sighed and smiled at him. Kuroko didn't mean to listen in but he liked Aomine's attitude towards the sport. He might just drop by after all.

"So do you think Kuroko will actually show up?" Aomine started off a new topic as he glanced at the desk of the invisible boy.

"Maybe, he seemed to be really into the sport." Momoi said as she leaned on his desk.

"Ano..." a voice had then reached Momoi's ear as she turned towards it. She took a look and caught sight of Kuroko with a distressed look on his face. She screamed as she backed away from him. She then saw that she was on a sheet of paper that was on the desk and saw that he picked it up and put it in his bag. "Oh, I guess I was on his paper." Momoi thought as she put a hand to her forehead as she calmed down from the surprise.

"What?" Aomine stared at the blue haired wonder, wide eyed. "I thought that since I saw and started talking to him yesterday, I'd be able to notice him today! Boy was I wrong!"

"How long were you there for?" Aomine asked the other.

"5 minutes." Kuroko said nonchalantly.

"5 min... whaa?"

"Don't worry, I didn't listen to your conversation. That would be rude of me." Kuroko said as he placed his bag on the ground.

"N-no don't worry about it." Aomine sighed from his excitement and just placed his head on his desk. The teacher then walked in and told them all about the classes' suspension due to the school's rule for mandatory participation in an extracurricular activity. He explained that club heads have created booths that are located outside in the courtyard and suggests that they all take a look at everything before deciding on a single club. With that said, everyone was dismissed and they all left, leaving the three in the corner alone.

"Come on you two, the club table will be full of people if we don't get going now." Momoi dragged Aomine then looked at Kuroko and encouraged him to come along as well. Kuroko sighed inwardly and got up from his seat.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Momoi ran outside and found the table in a synch since she did help set up earlier. Aomine and Kuroko slowly walked after her as they remained silent the entire way. "Hello, taichou! I brought you two new members!" Momoi said as she motioned towards Aomine and Kuroko.

"Hello, Momoi-chan had told me much about you, Aomine-kun." The captain, Kaibara Tomoki, shook hands with him and handed him an application sheet to fill out.

"You know, we had a lot of people come in today." The person at the table behind Kaibara said.

"Well that's good news, ne Aomine-kun?" Aomine just nodded and smiled a bit.

"Hopefully they're strong." He said partially to himself.

Kaibara couldn't help but smile at his kouhai (meaning underclassman). "Don't worry, there are plenty of people for you to challenge. So, who's the other person?" He turned back to Momoi.

"Oh that's Kuroko Tetsuya-kun. He says that he hasn't played much but he loves basketball." Momoi explained to him.

"No, I meant who as in, where is he?" Kaibara-taichou asked as he looked around.

"Well, he's kinda hard to see but he's right here, ne Aomine-kun?" Momoi looked at her childhood friend.

"Yeah..." Aomine looked down beside him but found himself to be standing alone. He whipped around and tried to see if the small boy was somewhere around him but to no avail. "... he disappeared." Aomine said in annoyance.

"What? Weren't you watching him?" Momoi exclaimed, furious that he lost him.

"What is he, a puppy? If he wants to leave, let him!" Aomine yelled back.

"Umm... did you say Kuroko Tetsuya?" another boy, a regular named Shiba Itsuki, asked the yelling first years.

"Huh? Ah, hai." Momoi said to her sempai, regaining her composure.

"Well, he left an application form and note here on the table." He picked it up and showed it to them. Momoi took it and she read it alongside Aomine.

"Domo, my name is Kuroko Tetsuya and I would like to request my participation in this club. Arigato Gonzaimasu." Momoi read aloud. "PS, I was here the entire time."

"What is that, his catchphrase?" Aomine raised an eyebrow at the notice.

"Well, if he shows up to the regular tryouts after school then he'll be part of the team but no guarantee that he'll be a regular. Maybe second string at best." The third regular placed an arm around Momoi.

"We'll tell him when we see him, thanks." Aomine said to the regular, Hibiki Makoto, while he pried his arm off of Momoi. He then proceeded to take her away from the table as she waved goodbye to the seniors.

"Hmmm, I wonder where Kuroko-kun ran off to." Momoi wondered as she stopped Aomine and made him release her hand. She looked around cautiously trying to find the hidden boy.

"We can't really pinpoint a place since we only met him yesterday. Plus it's already hard to see him as it is, we can't even find him when he's standing right beside us. What makes you think we'll see him when we squint our eyes real hard and then... suddenly find... him." Aomine slowed down his words while he did exactly as he said and found said boy standing beside another with red hair.

"Wow, that worked." Aomine said stunned.

"Well don't just stand there, lead the way! I can't see him at all." Momoi shoved him off in the direction that he was staring at. Eventually, as they got closer, Momoi spotted the boy as well and called out to him. "Kuroko-kun! I was looking for you. You really surprised us when you suddenly disappeared." The pair turned around and faced them.

"Oh, you must be the people that Tetsuya had mentioned early this morning. So you joined a club, right Tetsuya?" Akashi asked him.

"Hai. I left a note saying that I was going to participate in the basketball club." Akashi grinned up when he heard that.

"Well, it seems that in the end, we did join the same club together then. I too have joined the team and I plan to make it better than ever this year."

"That doesn't seem very likely; there are some cocky third years as regulars." Aomine barged into the conversation.

"No worries, I'm onto that already. I just have to see who I have that I can work well with and it'll all be fine." Akashi grinned widely again and walked off. "I expect you two to be there."

"That sounded like an order." Aomine raised an eyebrow at the redheaded boy.

"That's how Akashi-kun is. He seems to like to be in charge." Kuroko said. "Although, I only really met him today."

"I'll show him who's in charge when I see him later." Aomine stormed off and went towards the outdoor basketball court.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It was after school and the club fair was over. Many boys had met up in the gymnasium to see if they could qualify for the team. Kuroko had shown up, not that anyone noticed and they were all told to line up. "Hello everyone," The captain started off the club. "I would just like to welcome you and thank you all for joining the basketball club and I hope that you all will strive to be the best you can be. Today, our coach is out so I'll be leading this and the other regulars here will be judges." Then just like the classroom, they had gone through the list of applicants and it was a long list and nearly every person had shown up. Eventually, they'd made it to Aomine, then Akashi but when they got to his name, it was school all over again.

"Kuroko Tetsuya! Are you here?" Kaibara-taichou asked out loud. "Kuroko Tetsuya?"

"Did you see him?" Hibiki asked Shiba who shook his head.

"He just left a note saying that he wanted to register and left. None of us got a chance to see him." Shiba explained.

"Well, that's not very nice. If you wanna register for something, you should do it properly." Another person said.

"Yagami-kun, he did say that he was there, we just didn't see him. Plus Momoi-san said that he's hard to notice." Shiba explained. However, Yagami Kaito wasn't convinced. He lived by morals and rules and he expected everyone to know and follow them. He didn't care if he was there but if he was late to tryouts then that was his own fault.

"I guess Kuroko Tetsuya isn't here." The captain was about to mark it when Momoi stopped him.

"No, I'm sure he's here sempai, you just have to look hard enough." Momoi assured him as she then started to look around too. "Kuroko-kun, where are you?"

"I'm here." Kuroko appeared in front of the girl.

"AHHhhhhh!" Momoi shrieked and fell backwards, however, she was quicker in calming herself down. "See?" the pink haired manager look up at the captain.

"A-ah." Kaibara glanced at the boy who and suddenly appeared before him and stood in awe at the tiny first year. "Why didn't you speak up, Kuroko-kun?" He asked him. (A/N: yeah, I know I wrote this but is this really everything that everybody says when they encounter Kuroko? Lol)

"I tried but you didn't notice."

"Wow, they weren't kidding with they said he has no presence..." the team just looked at the first year. "But he seems kinda weak doesn't he?" Hibiki looked a bit skeptical about this kid. The rest of the first and second years all started to talk amongst themselves about the small kid as well but they were all silenced by the captain.

"Enough!" He exclaimed, silencing them and everyone stopped talking in an instant. "Well, arigato ne, Kuroko-kun." Kuroko bowed slightly as he returned to the first year line. Akashi watched the boy and he smiled.

With the attendance done, the captain then had the idea to test the power of the first years, so he brought up the idea to start playing mini games with each other. However, with so many students joining at once, he only picked 15 of them, making three teams along with the regulars who've decided to play as well, in order to test (ahem, torture) the first years. The first team was made up of 5 nameless first years (sorry nameless first years ;p), the second had Akashi, Murasakibara and 3 other first years, and finally, the third was Aomine, Kuroko, Midorima, and 2 others.

They had commenced the games and first up was Akashi's team against the second/third year regulars. Akashi looked at the regulars of Teiko and just sighed as he lost his motivation to play them. He decided to sit this one out for a while and let the team go on playing without him. Murasakibara was wondering what was up with all the shorties that were present in the school but he shrugged it off. He stood up to his sempai and loomed over them as they all just stared in awe. Akashi seemed pleased with him as he deemed this game theirs and felt that he had no need to play at all.

"Atsushi..." He called out to the tall boy who was getting ready for the jump ball.

"Hah? Oh Aka-chin, what is it?" Akashi just grinned and told the taller one to play only to their enemies' limits against them. Murasakibara wasn't sure what the smaller redhead meant or why he decided to listen to him either but he obliged reluctantly. He wanted to play he way always did (which would be to obliterate the other team) but thought that it might now turn out to actually be more fun since he was already good at the sport, not saying that he liked it though. The other first years just exchanged glances but decided to try and participate in this game as well.

"This guy thinks he can beat us Taichou!" Hibiki exclaimed as he eyed Akashi. "And he's being all cocky about it by not playing."

"That's against the rules." Yagami said casually as he eyed a first year who just squeaked in response.

"Maa, if he doesn't want to play then don't let him. They wouldn't be able to stop us even if they tried together anyways." The fifth regular, Yoshida Daichi, commented.

"Yoshida, do you not see that giant in front of Kaibara-taichou?" Shiba said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Is he even a first year? Can he even be considered as a middle schooler?" Shiba thought to himself as he braced himself for this game, going into game mode unlike the others.

"Well, let's just get this game started." A second year was chosen to ref this game and the jump ball had commenced. Akashi just stood by and observed the game as it played out. As expected, Murasakibara had gotten the ball and had passed it to an unsuspecting first year at full force (here, how bout this, fy#1 for the first year player... hehe). The ball had pushed the kid off his feet and was forced to push the ball back into the hands of the tall player. Murasakibara looked at the other players on the court as they were all marked by other members while he was double teamed due to Akashi not posing as a threat. "That Aka-chin, who does he think he is? He was chosen to play, he should play." He gave him a quick look of resentment before charging into enemy territory. He passed all the players and instantly made a basket. He quickly took advantage in the game as they continued to play.

The captain passed to Shiba who then rushed towards the half court and immediately passed it to Hibiki who tried for a basket from the three point line. With the fy#2, who was guarding him, being so much shorter than himself, he thought that he would have an easy shot. When he jumped to take the shot, Yagami yelled at him to stop but it was too late as he was already midair. Not wanting to be charged for travelling, he still went for the shot. However, it was stopped in an instant by Murasakibara who had covered the entire key.

"Whaa-" Hibiki landed and was awe stricken. He couldn't believe the first year had blocked the shot so easily. "How are we supposed to defend against him?" He felt disheartened for the first time ever in a basketball game. Murasakibara, full of himself in confidence, had then let his guard down and the ball was easily taken by Kaibara. Kaibara had taken the ball, landed and then spun around Murasakibara before taking the dunk. The regulars then felt as though their hope was rekindled.

"Ho, they're pretty good." Akashi said to himself. On the sideline, Kuroko just watched him.

"Akashi-kun, wouldn't it be better if you played?" Kuroko said to him.

"Now, now Tetsuya, we wouldn't want to spoil their fun now would we? Besides, I've decided that we're going to win this match." He announced.

"But there's no way you can beat the regulars. They're not called the regulars of Teiko for nothing." One of the first years said.

"Yeah, what makes you so special that you can just say that you'll beat them?" another said. Akashi just glared at them with his eyes wide, scaring them.

"You dare question my ability? I will show you that my power is absolute and that winning is nothing to be concerned about." Akashi said harshly, making them and a few second years back away cautiously. Kuroko just looked at the boy and just remained sitting. "What kind of person did you befriend, Kuroko?" Aomine just shook his head and continued to pay attention to the game.

The match had restarted with only 10 minutes left as this game was only 15 minutes long, due to it being a mini game. The score, 2 all. Fy#1 had passed the ball to fy#2 and they both started to dribble down the court before passing it on to Murasakibara who then got triple teamed. Murasakibara didn't like this situation but with the other first years lacking experience and Akashi not participating, Murasakibara didn't know what to do. He couldn't just charge them, that would be pushing over his sempais' limits and that would be disobeying Akashi's order and wouldn't make this as entertaining. That was until the third first year had asked for the ball and Murasakibara had no choice but to pass it on to him. The first year grabbed the ball and went straight for the net when he was suddenly blocked by the taichou himself.

"I'm sorry but it doesn't matter if you're first years, you guys getting a point on us was a major blow and I'm not about to let it happen again." He said as he went into complete defense mode. Murasakibara had a 'hard time' moving around and the other first years were completely useless so he decided to make a move himself. When he found himself to be acceptably close to the net, he then executed his ability. He charged and took a small leap while dribbling the ball then landed, spun around the Taichou and managing to take a dunk. The taichou just stepped backwards as he lost his balance and just stared at the first year who had just executed his technique that he just displayed against Murasakibara.

"Just because we're first years doesn't mean that we can't play like you." The boy said as he ran back to play defense. Akashi, from afar, took a glance at the boy who had just imitated the captain's move right then and deemed him worthy of playing. Yagami took the ball this time and went into the key to get a score back but he faked to the side and passed to Shiba who maneuvered around fy#1 and passed to Kaibara who then tried to execute his move again around Murasakibara but felt something to be off and immediately lost the tempo. He then lost control of the ball, allowing fy#2 to somehow steal and pass to the other first year.

With Murasakibara still on double team this time around, he couldn't let this ball go and stopped at the half court line, looking at his buchou in the face. "How'd you do that move just now?" Kaibara seemed to be losing it.

"I didn't just do it..." the boy said as he then rounded him again and took a three pointer shot. "... I stole it." Everyone just stared at the ball gliding through the air towards the basket as they awaited the fate that it held. To the second and third year regulars, it either meant them being able to catch up or this game being over for them. With faded breath, they watched as the ball had swished into the basket.

"Hey, who do you think you are, kid?" This time, it was Yoshida's turn to get upset. "Don't think that just because you made a three pointer that you can get all big headed." He said to him straight with a very unattractive expression on his face. Momoi couldn't stand watching the regulars, their sempai, act this way and just didn't know what to think right now. She understood that they were upset but the fact that they were acting like spoiled children didn't make up for that.

"Heh," the kid looked at him with a smirk on his face. "I'm not getting a big head sempai, I'm just being happy since I made a shot like that. Is there anything wrong with that? By the by, the name's Haizaki Shogo, not kid, remember that." He then walked off to go on the defensive.

Phew, that was a long chapter
Warning, no guarantee that they'll all be this long
Hehe, sorry again
I was bored and with summer vacation, I got nothing to do
I keep re-watching and re-reading shows and manga
Oh well, plus I made Haizaki uncover his ability already as well as Murasakibara
Well, I hope you enjoyed

Oh yeah, and if you were counting, the score's 2-5 first years leading
Owari desu~

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Okay, it's that time again 3
-Omake #1-

Kuroko had asked Momoi to get off of the piece of paper in the classroom as she leaned on his desk. She wondered what was written on it, though she didn't want to pry into the other's affairs. Therefore, she let it go. But what she didn't know was that it was something that he had planned for just in case and had written it while she and Aomine were having their conversation a few moments before.

***Skip to the Sign Up table***

After he and Aomine arrived to the table where Momoi had led them to, Kuroko then tried to get the person managing the table's attention as Aomine and Momoi were speaking with the Taichou, though he didn't succeed in the slightest. Kuroko looked distressed at the person but he still didn't see him. The invisible boy sighed and took out the sheet of paper from his bag and placed it on the table, beside the one who appeared to be a regular on the team due to his jacket.

"I'll just leave this here." Kuroko thought to himself as he packed up and walked away. "Oh, Akashi-kun said that he expected to see me here. I shouldn't ignore his request." Kuroko decided and continued to walk away, looking for Akashi.

***Meanwhile***

"... he disappeared." Aomine announced as Momoi glared at him.

"What? You weren't watching him?" Momoi exclaimed.

"What is he, a puppy?..." Their arguing continued.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

-Omake#2a-

Haizaki looked at the Taichou of the Teiko-chuu basketball team and attempted to do his move as he spoke. "I didn't just do it..." He then rounded the captain. "... I st..." Haizaki suddenly tripped over the captain's foot and lost the ball.

Everyone just stared at him with a long ***dot... dot... dot*** (facial expression: -.-' )

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

-Omake#2b-

Haizaki looked at the Taichou of the Teiko-chuu basketball team and attempted to do his move as he spoke. "I didn't just do it..." He then rounded the captain. "... I stole it." He proclaimed as he took a three pointer shot. Everyone just stared at the ball as it glided through the air towards the basket, awaiting the fate that it...

***ball bounces off the backboard, then the rim, then towards the ground...***

***bounce, bounce, bounce***

"Yay!" One of the regulars proclaimed awkwardly, with hardly any enthusiasm; his voice being dull with a bored tone. (facial expression: -.-'/ Haizaki: o_o )
