Rating: T for language
Summary:
Just like the title says, what if Teiko had a light music club? How would the Generation of Miracles meet a bunch of not-so-average girls who sing and play musical instruments? "Singing is a whole lot different thing from basketball." [Multi-chapter, rated T for language. Mind to read and review?]
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke and its original characters. It belonged to Tadatoshi Fujimaki. I only own the plot and my OCs! :D (P.S: if KnB was mine, I would have made Akashi more badass 8D -slapped-)
Enjoy!
Chapter 1: Assault on Midorima, Clash of the Models, and Bad Luck Aomine?
Daiyama Rachael opened the door with the sign 'Music Room'. She sighed in relief on the fact that it's empty.
She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She dumped her bag on the nearest table she can reach. Then carefully placed the guitar she's been carrying the whole day. She took the guitar out of the case after opening it. She walked towards the chair beside the table of the spacious room which was usually used for practices by the school's Chorus Club. But fortunately to her, the music teacher is absent today. So the light music club will be the one using it instead of using the clubroom. But it looks like she's the first to arrive here. There are also no signs of the 'invisible' girl.
She sat and tested her guitar strings, picking them one by one. She smiled satisfiedly knowing nothing is wrong with it and started playing rhythms on the guitar. And after a few while of only guitar sounds, she opened her mouth to sing.
As she sing and play, her orange hair would sway around along with the melody.
A day has passed since the incident involving Aiko Hitomi, Kurosawa Shizuka, and Akashi Seijurou.
Midorima Shintarou is walking in the hallways full of students, lucky item in hand. Today's lucky item is a bunny plushie. And Oha Asa said he would be seeing something he haven't seen in a long time. Despite that, his mind is elsewhere. He's thinking about the two girls in the light music club the previous day. Resulting in him spacing out looking like an idiot and looked more like one considering the item in his hand. Ah, getting stared at with those kind of stares sure creates an amazing feeling.
Something broke off his line of thoughts and his ears twitched. He just thought he heard something really familiar to him. Something he haven't heard in a very long time. He walked towards where he thought the source of the sound would be, the Music Room.
He took a second thought, he pointed out the possibilities of what it would be. But shook off his head at the last possibility. He peeked inside the room. He tried searching for the figure that have been producing the sounds. And when his eyes caught a female figure on the other side of the room, he widened his eyes.
It seems like something impossible has happened.
"Why...is she here...?" he asked to no one in particular.
"Excuse me? What are you doing here?"
Mizuno Natsumi ran through the hallways of the first floor. With her aghast face and incredible speed anyone can easily tell that she was in a real hurry.
"I'm almost there!" she mumbled to herself. But then she widened her eyes when she saw a tall blonde man walking out of a certain class, which was unfortunately where she would be passing by.
Afraid of bumping someone to their death, she slowed down slightly and shouted. "Move aside!"
"Eh?" the blonde turned his head to her direction and widened his eyes. But it was too late.
A loud thud echoed throughout the hallway. They fell to the floor with the blonde under the bluenette.
"Owie! Hey, watch where you're going!" the blonde grumbled as he struggled under her.
Natsumi immediately got up and brushed her skirt. "I told you to move aside..." she facepalmed.
"You're the one who ran too fast!" he scolded back, although he knows he shouldn't be a scolding a girl but for some reasons he was pissed by her running in the hallways. Everyone knows running in the hallways is prohibited.
"I'm in a hurry! Or buchou[1] will kill me!" she replied.
"But you're violating the rules!" he retorted.
She sighed. "Whatever, I should get-"
"Wait..." he said before she could finish her words. She raised one of her eyebrows on his statement.
"I've met you!" he stated, pointing out his index finger to her.
"What?"
"Eh?" startled, Midorima Shintarou turned his head to his right. A figure of an ivory-haired girl is standing there staring at him with a pair of dull-like eyes.
"Please step aside, I need to go in." she said, pointing towards the music room door.
"Ah-" he turned his head back to the door and snapped. He just got caught in his thoughts and probably looked like a stalker standing right in front of a door watching something profoundly.
"I'm sorry, I don't need anything. Now, if you excuse me."
She was just about to turn the door knob open but hey, nothing is wrong with playing with this guy who made himself look like an idiotic stalker in the hallways of the first floor of Teiko Junior High, right?
"Wait! No! Stay first. What's your name?"
He stopped. "Umm..." he hesitated for a moment while she waited for his answer with those eyes. Yes, those eyes. "Midorima Shintarou."
She chuckled. So this is who Rachael was talking about yesterday...
"Shirohashi Megumi! Teehee~" she sang, posing the infamous 'teehee pose'. Midorima sweatdropped at the girl's childish attitude. She got back to her original position and stared at the door.
"She's impressive, don't you think?" she suddenly said, smiling.
"What do you mean?" he asked her.
She chuckled.
"Why don't you go with me inside and greet your childhood friend there?" she asked playfully.
"Wha-"
"Come on, don't be shy!" she laughed. She pulled his hand and dragged him towards the door. In the worst case, she slammed the door open and shouted out loud.
"Rachael-chan~!"
The girl who's name was just called flinched in surprise and stopped what she's doing. Her eyes turned to see her friend who has greeted her in an annoying way.
"Megumi... How many times do I have to tell you that you have to knock and not barge inside when you're going inside a room!" Rachael shouted, rubbing her chest for nearly having a heart attack.
"Now, now!" After pulling Midorima in, she kicked the door close. "I brought someone interesting over here! And I thought you might want to greet him!" Megumi sang playfully, stepping aside to reveal a familiar figure to Rachael.
"You shouldn't kick- Eh? Uwaaah! Shintarou!" Rachael shouted, this time far louder that Megumi and Midorima had to close their ears.
"What in the world of bunny plushie are you doing here?!" she asked.
"This girl-" Midorima was about to answer until Megumi cut his sentences.
"He's been watching you sing from outside there looking like a stalker but I think he's too shy to directly approach you!" Megumi hastily stated not letting the boy utter a single word nor cut her statement back.
Rachael stoned. "What?"
She turned her gaze to Midorima. Oh shit, how long has it been since I last saw Midorima's hilarious blushing face? It sure brings back memories! Megumi could be one hell of a weapon against tsunderes in the future! she thought.
"Pffft!" she bit her lip to hold back her laughter. "Is that so, Shintarou?"
"Ye- I mean, no! Why should I even do that?! You're just a friend in my past!" he defended.
She wasn't able to let it back and laughed out loud to the point that tears were formed in her eyes.
Megumi, in the other hand, only smiled in amusement at her friend's and her 'soon to be friend or enemy?'s antiques.
Midorima tried to say something. (keyword: tried) But ended up stuttering instead. "H-hey! D-don't laugh!"
"No, it's been a long time since we've meet, right? It just felt…nostalgic…" Rachael said, wiping the tears off her eyes.
Megumi closed her eyes clapped her hands a few times. "Okay! Sorry for ruining your little reunion! But!" she paused for a while. "Midorima-kun, you should get going before Hitomi-" she wasn't able to finish her sentence.
The door was slammed open once again. "Oh, we're too late, I guess?" Megumi laughed.
"Midorima Shintarou? Why are you here? If you want to greet your old friend, please make it fast and leave now. We need to use the room for practice." the girl who slammed the door open said. Making her way inside the room and placed her bag and guitar on the same table as where Rachael placed her stuffs.
"Hime-rin, you know this guy?" a certain short bluenette behind Hitomi asked.
"Aiko...Hitomi...? Wait, why are you here and how do you know about Rachael and my relationship? N-not that I care though."
"That." she smiled. "I can explain."
"You... You're Mizunocchi!" the guy who bumped her exclaimed, widening his eyes.
"What? Who are you?" she quickly paused a moment after asking the question. "Oh, never mind. You're Kise Ryouta. I knew it."
"It's been a long time since we had a collaboration work, isn't it? Wanna do it another time again? And you're here, too? What a coincidence!" the guy who was called 'Kise Ryouta' said as his face lit up.
"I'm going to have to decline your offer. I'm planning to quit modelling soon since I'm going to dive into music entertainment." she politely said.
"What?!" the blonde gasped.
She sighed. "That's due to some reasons. And I should really go now before buchou will really-" she snapped. "Oh fuck, I'm late already."
She quickly got back to her 'incredibly fast running in the hallways' without bothering to mind the blonde who was calling her name repeatedly. A mumble of strings of curses mixed with her pant between her runs.
Finally, she reached the music room, where buchou told them they will meet and practice. Although she has minimized her speed not to bump into people and make a ruckus once again, she's panting heavily while holding on her knees.
Ah, I should take excersises more often, she thought.
After catching her breath, she held the door knob and opened it open. And the next thing to come is what she isn't expecting. A tall green-haired man who was just about to exit the room right when she was just going to enter the room.
"Gyaa!" she shouted. The tall green-haired man looked just as surprised as Natsumi, although people can obviously see he put in a lot of efforts in practicing to keep a calm and cool composure.
"Ah, Natsumi, is that you?" a voice asked from inside the room.
"Eh? Buchou, who the fuck is this giant?!" Natsumi asked.
"I'm not a giant!" the tall one retorted.
"Ah, he's Midorima Shintarou. I met him yesterday when I went to visit the school gym." 'buchou' answered.
"Oh, Rachael's friend?" Natsumi asked again.
"Old fri-." Midorima quickly but unfortunately, his words was cut by Hitomi's, Natsuko's buchou, verbal assault.
"Yes, a tsundere." Natsumi instantly got the message.
"No, I'm no-"
"Pfft! Really?!"
"No-"
"Why not?"
"Hey-"
"Pffft! Oh Rachael, I don't know you have this kind of friend."
Midorima sighed and both girls smirked. He then mentally noted that he shouldn't go near the girls anymore. But fate knows it would be impossible.
Megumi grinned. Today was great. She just met a 'soon to be friend or enemy?' and got to watch a free show of two girls playing around with a tall green-haired boy. Too bad she didn't bring along a bag of popcorn.
She walked through the streets of Tokyo which leads towards her home. She and the other girls practiced really hard today and it got dark before they realized. They were told to be careful but the question is; is Shirohashi Megumi even trying the slightest to be careful? Oh, no dear. She walked and hummed happily, completely oblivious of what could happen to her. And little did she know, luck isn't on her side.
"Heya chick, that's quite something you got there." An unfamiliar guy approached out of nowhere and asked her.
"Huh?"
He yawned, basketball practice has just finished. They should practice a lot since they're going to play in the Inter High. Even though they got into the first string easily, it doesn't mean they can slack off until Inter High approaches. He had the most practices today and was the most tired of all. His bubbly childhood friend even told him that she had a business with his green-haired teammate that she couldn't accompany him like they always do on the way home. She also told him that he should go home earlier and take a rest.
He had shut off his senses due to the drowsiness and fatigue he is sustaining and doesn't realize that a man in his mid-thirties has been sent flying towards him by a certain ivory-haired girl. He fell to the ground head first together with the said man. He growled in pain.
"Oops! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that- whoa!" the girl apologized and her words were cut off when a punch was just going to land on her face. But stepped to the side right on time resulting on the one who was just about to punch her to fall and pile on him. He growled again.
"Gah! I'm very sorry! I didn't mean to do that either!" the girl apologized again.
The guy who was piled up by two middle-aged men merely sighed and lied on the ground waiting. He seriously didn't have the strength to push them to the side and continue his walk.
"Don't worry, I'll help you after I finish this strange guy!" she said. Oh yes, she really should.
He watched as she held on his arm and twisted it before hurling him to the cold and hard ground effortlessly. She just called the poor man strange when she is the one strange to have such strength.
And one thing that he just realized is; they are oddly wearing the same uniforms of Teiko Middle School. She's just a freaking middle-schooler for God's sake. Even a third-year wouldn't be able to slam an adult man down to the ground that easily. More importantly, she looked like she is okay– no; she is having fun with this.
The man trembled in fear and quickly stood up. He wobbly ran as fast as possible, scared that the young maiden will harm him more if he stayed there not doing a single thing.
"Now I'm done!" she said, smiling and dusting her hands off. She turned to the previous guy and chuckled.
"Now that you're done tormenting people, please stop that creepy chuckle and remove this pile of creatures called human now." he said, adding a touch of sarcasm somehow.
She laughed. "Roger that."
She walked towards him and kicked the two men to the side. She then stretched her hand to help him stand up. He lazily took it and successfully managed to stand up.
"Whoa! We're wearing the same uniform!" she said. She wasn't able to observe him because she was busy with her own business and because he was piled up by two men.
She then went quiet and sniffed a few times. "Are you, by any chance, related to Midorima Shintarou?" she asked curiously.
He raised an eyebrow. "You know Midorima?"
"Oh, he went to our clubroom to greet his childhood friend." she answered.
"So that is why he's late, that bastard." Aomine scoffed and Megumi laughed.
"That means you really know him. You're from the basketball club, aren't you?" she asked again.
"Wait, wait, how do you know all of this? You're not a stalker, right?" he asked back.
"Well, your smell says so." she answered nonchalantly.
"Umm..what?"
"So putting that aside, what's your name?" she asked.
"I don't really see the point of telling but, Aomine Daiki." he answered.
"Oh! I've heard about you! I'm Shirohashi Megumi, nice to meet you!" she said, making a peace sign with her two fingers of her right hand.
"Wait, 'Shirohashi'…?" Aomine snapped. That's the surname of the owner of the huge White Bridge Co., Ltd. which mainly sponsors the Inter High and Winter Cup basketball tournaments.
"Yup~!" she sang.
"You're a rich ojou-sama[2]?" he asked.
"Well, yes. But I prefer you not say it that way." she said. She turned to face him and gave him a smile, a smile which shows loneliness and Aomine knows it, really, and then Megumi shook her head. He went silent, he knows the feeling, after the death of his parents. Although it's in a different case, but it's the same feeling in a way.
"Aside from that," Megumi started, trying to change the topic. "you live around here?"
"Oh, yeah. You, too?"
"Yeah!" she answered enthusiastically.
"Wanna walk together?" Aomine offered. He didn't know why he said that and slapped himself mentally. He just knew this girl a minute ago! He was expecting her to hesitate to be walked home by a stranger, but.
"Well, why not?" she laughd. No, he doesn't really feel bad; she's technically a 'friend' of his teammate, right?
