CHAPTER Six
"Where did you go, Kise? I don't know who that is but don't go when the coach is still talking!" Kasamatsu landed a punch on top of Kise's head.
"Ouch! It hurt –ssu!" Kise winced, "And I am talking to Kurokocchi!"
"Kurokocchi? Who is that?"
"Kuroko Tetsuya. My teammate in Teiko!" Kise said brightly.
"Teiko… You mean HE is part of the Kiseki no Sedai?"Moriyama said in surprise.
I mean, he looked weak. And to say that he was part of Kiseki no Sedai? To be honest, they did not even expect that weak looking kid to even be a regular of any average school, but worse, Teiko?
"Stop joking around, Kise. He doesn't look strong at all." The captain said in annoyance.
"Please don't look down on Kurokocchi," Kise narrowed his eyes, "He's my precious teammates and is the…"
.
"Phantom Sixth man of Teiko. I had heard it before, but I thought it was simply a rumour. And if we get him, even as a manager, it's a big catch. Plus, he knows Kiseki no Sedai personally…" Riko smirked at the last part.
"Ah! So when we are against them, we increase our chance of winning!" Koganei placed his closed right hand over the palm of his left hand as a seemingly light bulb lit up above his head.
"Yes, that's right, Koganei kun." Riko said seriously.
"So, that's why you invited him to our team. But the problem is will he accept it." Hyuuga said as he pondered.
"Maa, you can leave that part to me, I will definitely make him our team. For now, focus on our match! Give them a beating, guys!" Riko shouted as the rest answered with an 'Oh!".
.
All of the starter members of Seirin walked confidently towards the court.
"Ah! Kagami kun. Please wait for a while." Riko beckoned.
"We will be going first then, Kagami." Hyuuga said as he waved slightly.
Kagami nodded as he walked back to the bench area.
"What is it, coach?" The red head asked curiously.
" Kagami kun, you know him more than us right?"
"Him? You mean Kuroko? Well yeah, we are like best friends now." He said slightly proudly.
"Okay then. Even though I said that I will take care of that part, I hate to say I don't have the ability so, I'm leaving it to you!" She gave a sweet smile as she patted the taller teen's shoulder, hard, making him winced in pain slightly.
Kagami held his shoulder that was hurt by the coach as he looked seriously, "Coach, I didn't say this just now but I once invited Kuroko to join basketball team together but I was rejected. I get the feeling that he have some bad experience with basketball and might actually hate it."
"Jeez, what's with that serious look? I know that's why I'm leaving it to you, our team's ace!"
Kagami gave a small smile before it turned into a huge grin, "I will try! It's going to be hard but I will give it my best! Afterall, I cannot call myself an ace if I cannot make people like basketball!"
After receiving a thumb up from the brunette, he made his way to the court where the rest was waiting for him, "Yosh! Let's do it."
.
"Oi Kise! We should get going already." Kasamatsu shouted as the rest already assembled at the center of the court.
"Ne senpai. Do you know what happened to Kurokocchi's leg?" Kise asked.
"Ha? How would I know?" The captain turned his body around and looked at Kise.
"It was my, no, our fault."
"What do you-"
"That's why I want to redeem myself. That day, Kurokocchi said that he don't want to play basketball again. None of us stopped him. None of us protested or even tried to convince him. But right now, I want to make him play basketball again. I want him to love basketball again. I don't know if this is a selfish request from me but…" Kise smiled bitterly as a tear rolled down his cheek.
Kasamatsu turned back around to the court as his back facing Kise, he smiled slightly, "Well. For that, you need to win this match first and show that Kurokocchi of yours how fun is basketball."
"Fun…?" Kise paused as he looked up, "Ah… That's right. How can I forget that? We played basketball for fun." He had a serious look on his face, "Let's win this, senpai!"
"Of course, baka kouhai!*"
We will win and make you love basketball again, Kuroko/Kurokocchi.
The ace of the two teams thought at the same time as they stepped into the court with a determined look.
.
"I am sorry but we gotta win this match, Kise." Kagami announced.
"Don't be sorry. Because we will win. Afterall, I have a mission to complete." Kise smirked.
"Heh. That's more like it."
"Third quarter starting now!" The announcer exclaimed.
.
(Somewhere.)
"We're playing rock, paper, scissors at the traffic light to decide who pedals… Why has it never been your turn yet!" A black haired teen exclaimed.
"That's a matter of course. Since they said in the horoscope this morning that it'd be the best day for my sign, cancer." A greenette said while drinking a can of red bean.
"Is that really related? By the way, we going all the way just to watch a practice match. Are the guys from your middle school that strong?"
"A copycat." The green head said simply, "And also I want to check out that Seirin school, the school that Kuroko wanted to join." He whispered the last part so that Takao cannot hear.
"Huh? A copycat? That's supposed to be strong?" he sweatdropped.
"Come on, hurry up! The match is almost over!"
"It's probably the third quarter already! And by the time we reached, the match will most likely be over already!"
.
"100-98! Seirin won!"
"Such a great thing, I can't believe it!" Hyuuga said as he wiped his sweat.
Kagami clasped his fist tightly as he pumped it to the air, "YESSS!"
He ran, even though he's already tired, towards a certain phantom, "Did you see that, Kuroko? We won!" He shouted not caring if other's heard.
"Yes. I saw everything, Kagami kun. Congratulation." He gave a small but noticeable smile making the already sweating and red Kagami, redder.
While Kagami was busy grinning and cheering, Kuroko took the chance and glanced at the blonde.
.
"We… lost?" Kise whispered, "Huh? Huh?" His tears unconsciously dripped.
He quickly rubbed away the tears.
Seeing Kuroko gone silence, Kagami turned around and saw Kise.
The two gone silence as the crowd started discussing why the blonde was crying over a practice match.
A painful whine came heard from Kise.
Kasamatsu just kicked him on the head, "For this kind of case, you'd better add the word 'revenge' to your dictionary!"
He rubbed away as he nodded with determination.

"Your sign, Gemini, was supposed to have the worse luck today, but I didn't think you'd actually lose." A voice said to Kise.
"So you came to watch." The copycat replied.
"Well, no matter who won, it was an unpleasant match either way. Even monkeys could have done that dunk festival. There was nothing left to fate." The greenette, Midorima said.
"We haven't seen each other since middle school, huh?" Kise sighed, "And dunks or whatever, it doesn't matter, right? As long as it goes in."
"That's why you're no good. Of course it'll go in if you're so close. But the worth of a shot is decided by how far it's scored from. Don't you know the saying 'Man proposes, god disposes? First you do your best and then fate will decide how it will turn out. I am a man that proposes. And I always carry with me the lucky item of the day, as my horoscope says. That's why my shots never go off!" Midorima declared as he gripped on tightly to a toy frog, his lucky item.
Kise just listened, sweat dropped.
"You bastard, going ahead alone when we got stuck in traffic. That was so embarrassing!" A voice was heard shouting as a guy riding the rickshaw ride his way towards Midorima.
"Well today I just came to see the match. But I'll apologize in advance. There's no way we are fated to lose to Seirin. It's unfortunate but you should give up on your revenge."
Kise narrowed his eyes, "Midorimacchi, what if… What if I say Kurokocchi is still alive?"
Midorima froze for a while as he repositioned his glasses, "Are you dreaming, Kise? It's unfortunate but he's gone. And he will never be back." He turned around as he walked towards the rickshaw, "Don't even think about it. Get over it."
.
"Is it okay if I joined?" Kuroko asked the Seirin group.
Apparently they want to go celebrate and Kagami invited Kuroko along.
"Of course it is!" Kagami reassured as he pushed the wheelchair.
"Yeah, plus you are more polite than that Bakagami." Hyuuga said receiving a "What!" from the redhead.
"Yep yep. Plus the more the merrier, right Mitobe?" Koganei looked to Mitobe who smiled and nodded.
"That's right, Kuroko kun. Plus, we want to know more about you." Riko gave a smile.
Kuroko gave a slight smile as he nodded, "Thank you."
"By the way, let's go eat something cheap, I'm broke!" the cat like teen declared.
"Me too." Was heard by most of them.
".. Wait up. How much does everyone have not counting transport money?"
Everyone took out a few pennies that cannot even afford a meal.
"Should we just go home?" Hyuuga sighed, sweatdropped.
"Yeah. Sorry Kuroko. Even after inviting you." Izuki said apologetically.
"It's fine! Let's go get some meat!" Riko said with unneeded sparkles around her.
.
Indeed, meat. And what's best, it's free… Only if you finished this huge steak.
The guys gulped as Riko smiled, "Go ahead."
"Wah… Wait seriously? What'll we do if we can't eat it?" the captain exclaimed.
"For what purpose do you think you've been running everyday?!" The evil coach said, translating they will dine and dash.
"That's for basketball!" Came the unison thought all of them except Kuroko had.
They all painfully digged in the incredibly huge steak, trying to stuff it in their mouth.
Kuroko ate a small bit as he wiped his mouth gracefully with the napkin, "I'm sorry but I give up."
"Kuroko, do you want me to help you finish it?" Kagami asked as he already finished his meat.
"Kagami kun, thank you." He bowed as the tiger blushed slightly as he digged in the second meat.
"This is seriously good. Is there any chance of seconds?" He munched on the meat like squirrel, "Huh? If you don't want yours can I have it?" He asked as plates of meats are given quickly to him.
"Kagami kun, I'm going out to take a breath." Kuroko said as he wheeled himself out.
There he met Kise.
Note
*Baka: Stupid
*Kouhai: Junior
Midorima did not see Kuroko. Plus he was only focusing on the match. P.s. notice in the steak part, the sweetness of Kagami and Kuroko? (Wink)
OH YEAH, BIG QUESTION. Should Kuroko accept the manager job or not? :D I'm not sure.
