I am in an extremely great mood that I decided to add another chapter. For the people right there that are keeping an eye on this story, I am still not sure whether or not I am going to make this more than 5 chapters. I am only adding chapters due to inspirations. To those who are reading, please review because I really need it. I want to improve my way of writing and using vocabulary with dramatically correct grammar. Please review.
Onwards with the story!
Wide-eyed and unusually still, that is what they didn't notice from Kuroko as the light-blue haired male stared at Haitaki. Apparently, Haitaki got weird looks from the senpais because of what he muttered. They didn't see Haitaki looking at Kuroko as he said that except Kuroko himself. Hyuga just shrugged the topic aside. Aida did her thing again. She blows her whistle to give their attention to her.
"Freshmen, welcome to the Seirin Basketball team," she said.
"Yeah, welcome to this team," Hyuga also greeted while wiping the rest of his sweat with a towel.
"If you don't know who the members are, he is Hyuga Junpei, your captain," Aida said and pointed to Hyuga, who removed his glasses to wipe his face.
The rest gave their names and the freshmen nodded. Aida looks around them to find where their duo. The freshmen gave weird looks toward her. She frowns.
"Kuroko-kun? Where are-?"
"Ano, we are right her the whole time."
A blank face popped at their backs that almost made the group of freshmen jump. Kagami smirked at their reaction and the smaller male beside him gave him a blank stare that meant annoyed in his language. The taller male begins shaking in laughter.
"Who-?"
"Where did he came from?"
"I didn't notice him at all!"
"He wasn't there a while ago, was he?" are some of the comments of the group.
"Now, now, don't be mean with Kuroko-kun! Freshmen, meet Kuroko Tetsuya and Kagami Taiga. They are the light and shadow duo of our team. Also, for those of you who are thinking that I am the manager, I am not. I am the team's couch, Aida Riko," Aida said, finally dropping the bomb.
A series of 'eh?'s and 'ooh!'s rang from the court that made the passing students stop and stare before making their way wherever they are going. The voices died down and Aida shouted to take their clothes off. The court became silent as Aida studied their stats.
'Their bodies are all in good shape. They aren't slacking from their practice from their previous school,' thought she as she walks towards the next person on the line, Saga Masako.
Saga Masako is tall. He is even taller than Kagami in fact. He is quiet though and always sticks around Misari Ritsu as Kuroko noticed in the few minutes that they inside the facility. Nobody, as usual, knows that he is suspicious of this batch of freshmen mainly because of the presence of a certain individual that he glances every once in a while. Aida finally finished her task and approved to make the freshmen wear their t-shirts as well.
"Why are you so quiet, Kuroko? Are you suspicious of this batch?"
Kuroko stilled. He forgot that even the bakagami can even point out the not so obvious things that others can't. He begin to shift his attention from Kagami to Aida, from Aida to the floor, then back to Kagami again. The taller male saw how uncomfortable Kuroko is becoming and decided to drop the subject for now. He sighed and raked through his head for any topic to bring up. Coming with something, he wished it will work and speak.
"Are you free this Saturday? Midorima with Takao and Aomine with that apologizing mushroom will be at the usual court. They are asking if you could also play with Midorima and his line of 'It's not like I want to our anything,' of course."
"Sure, Kagami-kun. It is rare for Midoirma-kun to invite friends to play basketball with them," Kuroko said, happy with the change of topic.
A smile made its way towards the surface of his face that made a certain someone frown. That someone is angry but like Kuroko's perfect blank face, he have the mask of a frown. If someone would look closely or with an observant eyes, they will see that his left eye is twitching. The couch began giving instructions on what will be happening on the future events but he didn't listen.
"That is all. Any questions?" Aida finished.
She is given a negative response. She then nodded and blow her whistle. The new batch smiled and talked to each other as they made their way out. Hyuga motioned for the others to make their ways towards their own classes. They bid each other a 'see you later' and left. A silhouette stayed outside the facility on one of the windows before leaving quickly as he saw Kuroko leave as well.
"Where is couch?" Hyuga asked as the new members entered the court.
"She is on her way, she is even smiling with a bounce on her step," Hatori says.
Their senpais felt a chill down their spine. The couch of their team with a smile and a bounce on her step means a not pleasant surprise. The others stood there, confused about the sudden change of moods. The doors open to reveal Aida with a smile on her face. The team prepared for the worse. If it wasn't for her smile, all of them would think that she is a devil in disguise.
"I got a practice match, Ju-n-pe-i!" Aida said in a happy tone.
Now, even the new members began fearing on what is about to happen next. Kuroko and Kagami's eyes met before both feeling a chill down their spine. Turning to the door, the source of the chills is confirmed that it came from behind them. Violet jerseys and tall high schoolers are one of the details that they first noticed when all heads turned towards the door. Aida still has her smile.
"Welcome, welcome!" she says and nod her head towards the direction where the other bench is located.
"Thanks," the female couch of the team said and the Yosen basketball team followed her towards the bench provided for them.
Recently, the gym and court of the Seirin Basketball Team has been extended the facility horizontally and vertically. It is the principal's orders as a reward and support for the team. It made the team work harder than they could since they also have added equipments. Aida gathered her team on their bench.
"So, what do you think?" Aida asked.
"Couch, are you crazy?! You are giving too much pressure on your captain!" Hyuga complains.
"Oho? Did you say I should call the couch of Rakuzan to have a practice match?"
"No! I said that we are going to do our best right?" Hyuga asked.
He received a positive answer that made him pleased. He almost forgot that Kuroko is somewhere with them that he almost a heart attack when he did saw him behind him at the time that he turned. He ignored this though and moved a little bit on the right side to give space to Kuroko. Kuroko muttered thanks.
"Seirin!"
"Fight!"
The whistle was blew. Both couch of the two teams are on the sidelines where their teams' bench is. Koganei has his whistle and he will be the one who will act as the referee for the practice match. Both teams' with their starting members are facing each other.
"Practice match between Yosen and Seirin will now commence. Bow!"
"Let's have a good match!"
Soon, both the teams' had their position and both also have their own members to fight for the first possession of the ball. Koganei threw the ball up and blow the whistle, marking the tip-off and the official start of the game.
~~END of chapter 2
Gomen, gomen! I am so sleepy already and I am having a hard time to think of what words I am suppose to use because I am not myself today. But if inspiration shook you to the core, well, this happens. So, I am deeply sorry about this chapter. The whole start of my inspiration might happen in the next chapter. Until next chapter!
