"So, we're having her? The Kuroko girl I mean?" asked Izuki as he walked side by side with Hyuuga who, was walking side by side with Aida.
"Yep! But Kagami-kun said that she has yet to make a decision." Aida replied cheerfully. She was obviously happy with the way things are. Having a friend whom you can relate to and trust with your deepest secrets, it was a moment of bliss for the fun-sized manager.
"Who is she?" asked Hyuuga.
"Yeah. Who is she really? Is she a daughter of some kind of singer? Or just the daughter of a rich family?" added Izuki.
"Wrong. Kuroko Tetsumi, section 1-C, age sixteen, height 5'3, weight 52 kilograms or 114 pounds, blood type A and birthday January 31st. She got the only scholarship in Seirin, so I highly doubt of her being rich." Aida said still in her cheerful mode as she flipped the stapled paper containing data on her beloved 'soon-to-be-friend'.
"….And you knew this…, how exactly?" Hyuuga and Izuki asked in unison.
"Well, After Kagami told me about her, I happened to stumble on her appearance and couldn't help but adore her cute and angelic face! So, I asked some teachers and eventually, the faculty about her. They didn't answer of course but with a help from Father, things went smoothly." She exclaimed happily before sipping the juice out of her apple juice box.
'Your Father threatened the faculty didn't he? If he nearly killed me 'cause of some rumor that I was dating you, how much more when you yourself demanded it?' Hyuuga thought bitterly. Remembering the 'Oh so Wonderful times' he spent with Aida's father. Not an hour before their meeting and he was already pointing a gun at Hyuuga's temple. Seriously, he's way too protective.
"W-well, when will she give us an answer then?" asked Izuki, wanting to change the topic. Like Hyuuga, he too had 'Wonderful times' with Aida's father and he rather not remember it. Not the time when he nearly ate a rotten egg to show how much he's sorry for making Aida trip. It really was an accident! Yet he refused to believe it, saying 'My daughter broke her ankle you demon! Don't accuse anyone else!' 'Broke her ankle my ass! It really just was a scratch a band-aid could fix.' He thought.
"Today I believe. Kagami-kun and Kuro-chan are classmates! So rest assured, she'll be safe!" she said, before a dark aura was felt by the two now, ghostly pale seniors. "She better be." She muttered darkly after crushing her empty, apple juice box.
Kagami was seated in front of Kuroko, but that didn't stop him from turning his head like a damned owl! Looking or rather, glaring at the girls seated at the back. 'It was just a trivial thing.' Kuroko snorted.
"Kagami-kun, please stop glaring at the girls. Their frightened as they are already." Kuroko whispered on Kagami's back. She was unable to bear with the intensity his aura was giving off.
"They should be! If they weren't giggling a while ago, I would have just shut my eyes and went to sleep!" Kagami hissed.
"But Kagami-kun, you drooling on your seat and getting caught by the teacher, don't you think they have the right to giggle? The scene was very funny you see." Kuroko reasoned out, still with her stoic face.
"You didn't laugh!"
"Yes bu—"
"Doesn't matter! If you didn't, it doesn't mean they would!"
"We are different Kagami-kun."
"Exactly! Reason out all you like but I stand firm in what I feel!"
"Jaa, what exactly do you feel right now?"
"I feel angry that I just wanna crush their tiny so-called bra—"
"Kagami-kun, This will be your 2nd warning. Sleeping and drooling on your desk and now talking to yourself? Are you sure you don't suffer from insomnia?"
'I was talking to Kuroko! Why the hell can't you see that? Kuroko! Her! Include her too!' Kagami wanted to voice out his thoughts so badly but knowing Kuroko, she could get away with it. That girl could practically hide her presence! She's right beside you and the next thing you know, she's long gone leaving you talking to yourself looking like a mentally retarded idiot.
"I-I'm sorry." Kagami mumbled sheepishly. Don't blame him, he promised he'd take Kuroko to the band for introductions and such. Getting a detention from his teacher definitely is a 'No'. He still treasured his life for such consequences given by a demonic Aida.
"See Kagami-kun? Just face the black board and ignore them. The giggles will die down eventually."
"Easy for you to say! You're not the victim being laughed at!" he hissed softly.
"They giggled Kagami-kun not 'laughed'. And besides, they like it Kagami-kun. They think it's cute."
"That's 'cause their girls with rotten brains!"
'You are acting like one too, Kagami-kun.'
"That would be all for today. You are dismissed." Announced the teacher.
Almost immediately the girls, isolate Kagami, like an island, only Kagami was the island and the girls were the body of water.
"Ne Kagami-sama, I really wanna know 'bout where your performance will take place! 'Cause I really wanna be there~" chirped a girl who clung unto Kagami's left arm.
"*Sou da yo! I really want to see you Kagami-sama! But I don't mind being this close to you at all!" purred another girl who clung on Kagami's right arm.
"My friends are so jealous because I get to be this close to Kagami-sama!" stated another girl.
"H-hey stop!" Kagami said as he waved his arms around to let the 'Killer huggers' loose.
"Ehh~? But I don't get to do this all the time!"
"I-I need to leave! Oi! Kuroko! Do something!" Kagami yelled as he looked at Kuroko, who was just a step away from the door. Kuroko mouthed the words 'I'll wait outside' as she officially disappeared. 'Damn you Kuroko!'
"Who was that Kagami-sama?" whined the girl on the left.
"Why do you even know her?" asked the girl on the right.
"You're so stupid! 'course Kagami-sama would know her! She the 'Loner' afterall!" laughed another girl. The girls hollowed in laughter. For some reason, that affected Kagami and he didn't know why but whatever it was, he was pissed without a reason.
"K-knock it off!" Kagami said strongly. "I have important things to do too!" he said before shoving them, not strongly of course, as he didn't want to hurt the girls, doing so, he'd face hell! Girls were scary after all and it was all thanks to his mother and aunt. Getting his bag, he made his way to the exit.
"K-Kagami-sama?" the girl on the right said. Never had Kagami brush them off like that. He'd run away, yes. But shoving them off? Let alone raising his voice? That never happened. The girls stared at the retreating back with eyes like saucers and when he finally disappeared from their sight they begin to question themselves to why did their Kagami-sama do that?
"That wasn't very nice of you to save yourself and abandon me." Kagami growled out as he walked side by side with Kuroko. They were outside the school now and it maybe late to start the topic about that but, neither of them never really cared.
"I'm sorry. But I don't know what to do at that time. I can't really keep a conversation going Kagami-kun. And I for one don't know how to get you out of the situation as I have never really dealt with girls."
"So you have boyfriends as friends?" Kagami joked
"Yes." She stated simply.
"So…, You're not used to girls?"
"Not at all."
"You're just like my manager then." He scoffed.
"How so?" Kuroko asked out of pure curiosity though her face remained the same.
"She has no girlfriends and is usually seen with guys since she's a manager of a male band, but you'll be the first female in the band though."
"I see… Umm.., How far until we reach our destination Kagami-kun?"
"Almost there. Just 2 blocks more."
"Okay.."
They were heading to the 'RED's domain. In this case their manager's extra home which was their meeting and practice place. It was a bit far from the school, but not too far. It's distance was just like a 30-minute walk. And besides, it'll be worth all the walking, the place was big and comfy. It was definitely a home for the band.
At weekdays they usually have practice and spend the night there for no reasons, sometimes they just stay in there just to have fun with the band. Party like the youth they were. Sometimes they came over to run away from their problems with their girlfriends or whatever they're running away from.
The thing is, they're always welcome to stay. Each of them has a spare key for the house which was named 'Aida's getaway'. Yeah, silly name but, it describes it's use the best and besides, Aida owns it she had the right to name it. Though the name still sucks real bad.
Stopping in front of a house, he motioned for Kuroko to follow him. Only to see that the said girl was eyeing the apartment with a critical eye.
"It's completely normal, no monsters and perverts if that's what you're worrying about." Kagami shrugged. "And besides, if anything happens to you, Aida would cook us raw. That's why we gotta protect you." He shrugged. "And, Aida wan—" Kagami watched Kuroko.
"Hmmm.. " Kuroko hummed as she sniffed the air.
"Hey! Don't ignore me!"
"I'm sorry Kagami-kun but.., It smells so delicious." Kuroko answered as she sniffed the air once more.
"Huh?" Kagami breathed in and out noticing that the air smells good indeed. As if you could taste the air, Kagami licked his lips along with Kuroko who did the same.
"This is it right Kagami-kun? Aida's getaway?" Kagami nodded. Then paled.
"We're here.. already?"
"I don't really know Kagami-kun. You were the one responsible for escorting me to your place." Kuroko said bitterly though her face was the usual.
"I'm sorry..? Anyways whatever you smell and see, do not be deceived! Don't and I mean don't you ever eat Aida's cooking! No matter how tasty it may seem, Okay?" Kagami said as he grabbed Kuroko's shoulders and gave her a shake.
"Kagami-kun, who's Aida?" Kuroko asked not the least bothered with Kagami shaking her a bit.
"She's a ver—" All of a sudden a girl with not so very long brown hair, and bangs kept at the left side by two black bobby pins appeared as she opened the door a bit harshly. Her face full of enthusiasm and excitement as she stared at Kuroko who appears to stare at her as well with her usual face.
"You must be Kuroko Tetsumi! We have been expecting you!" her voice boomed.
"Yes I'am. Nice to meet you." Kuroko replied as she bowed, ignoring Kagami, who was gaping like a fish.
"The rest of the introduction will be for later dear, please do come inside!" she said as she pulled Kuroko's arm into the door. "And Kagami-kun~" she chirped, stopping midway.
"Y-yeah?" came his hesitant reply.
"Good job!" she said giving him a thumbs up and off she went in the house leaving the door open for Kagami. 'But I highly doubt that, she's too excited to care. What did I do anyways?' he asked himself trying to remember the deed he did to receive a comment. 'Maybe on taking her here safely.' He answered for himself. Walking to the apartment, he let himself in and closed the door behind him. Hearing the conversation going, he was determined to warn Kuroko about their little conversation outside, or rather, the air they smelt.
"I'm making pasta right now, would you like some Tetsu-chan?"asked Aida eagerly.
"I would lov—"
"Don't feed her poison!" Kagami yelled as he walked towards Kuroko and shook her and gave her with a solemn face "Never eat the stuff she makes! It'll kill yo—"
Aida sent a flying kick at the back of Kagami's head before professionally pinning him to the ground "I would never do that! In fact I never did!" Aida said pinching Kagami's ear.
"But we end up getting sick do we not?!" Kagami said, feeling his ear red from pain.
"That's 'cause you ate something bad before!"
"No it's because of your so called 'Food'!"
"Why you!" Aida pinched him again but before she could do damage any longer Kuroko interrupted.
"It's okay Kagami-kun. I'd like to taste it Aida-san. I also skipped my snacks today." She said nonchalantly.
Immediately, Aida got off Kagami before dashing in the kitchen. Not a minute later, she came back with a plate full of pasta with a strip of bacon at the side. Not to mention a happy face made from 'Tomato sauce' Kuroko thought before following Aida who was leading her to the kitchen.
"Oi! Wait for me!" Kagami pleaded which was completely ignore by Kuroko, who was now sitting on a chair, ready to eat her pasta.
"Don—" Kuroko ate the pasta nonetheless.
"Don't say I didn't warn you!" Kagami said, waiting for Kuroko's reaction.
"So, so? How was it?" Aida asked, bouncing up and down on her chair acroos Kuroko.
"It's… Disgusting Aida-san." Kuroko said still with her nonchalant face. After a minute of Aida, gaping her mouth, Kagami with saucer's eyes, Kuroko stood from her seat.
"W-Where's the restroom?" Kuroko asked, her face becoming pale and a bit green.
"F-Follow me" Aida said. Which shocked Kagami. Normally, she'd ignore them for an hour and laugh when they'd puke, so, this was completely new. 'Maybe that's 'cause she's a girl. Her first girlfriend. Oh the joy.' He thought bitterly.
"Would she even survive the introduction?" asked Kagami to himself.
"Of course, Kagami-kun! It's worth a try! And besides, I highly doubt she'd refuse. If it's Kuro-chan, music would be her life!" chirped a voice who belonged to none other than Kiyoshi Teppei.
Author's note: Sorry for the long update! I knew I'd be busy but I never expected having family problems. I'm sorry! Because of some problems concerning my mother, I may be a bit late in updating but, please try to understand. I know you have no concern nut, my mother's in the hospital due to severe stomach ache. Turned out, she had a swollen fallopian tube, so…. But I'll update either way, it'll just be a bit later.
And about Kuroko's data? That was a fake, except the blood type and birth date. I made it up 'cause Kuroko's a girl in this story. The real data would be:
Height- 168cm
Weight- 57kg
*Sou da yo would likely mean ' That's right '.. But do correct me if I'm mistaken..
