A/N: heya! I've realized something after Mintycchi(Minty Starfruit) messaged me on faceb**k. She reminded me that I've been using both Teiko Junior High and Teiko Middle School. I need your opinion dear readers about which I should be using, 'cuz I can't decide! XD I'll be using Teiko Middle School for the meantime. (like before, anon review replies will be on the bottom author's note!)
Flashback to the previous chapter
"Rachael-chan~!"
"Uwaaa! Shintarou!"
"Move aside!"
"I've met you!"
"Who are you?"
軽音楽クラブ！(Teiko no Keiongaku Kurabu/Keionbu! lit. Teiko's Light Music Club)
Presented by Blossoming Daisy (previously known as Shioriri)
Warning(s): typos and overly repeated words. DLDR. Bad grammar and vocabulary.
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 2: We Meet Again
DING-DONG
The bell which signaled lunch break period had rung.
"Well then, students. Until we meet again, don't forget your homework." the teacher said, tidying the papers ad book he brought then walking out of the class. Most of the students rushed quickly out of the class, while a couple of them stayed in the class and started talking with each other or eating the bentos[1] they have brought to school.
"Finally!" Rachael sighed. She stretched her hands and turned her head to see her two friends, Hitomi and Megumi. The three of them smiled and nodded, it seems like our ladies are up with something. They stood up from their seats and walked out of their class, 7-D. They turned to search for a certain neighboring class.
"7-B… 7-B…" Rachael mumbled repeatedly, walking through the hallways of Teiko Middle School.
"Hael, you're sure about this, right?" Hitomi asked, her heterochromatic eyes meeting a bright orange one as Rachael stopped and turned to answer her question.
"You still don't believe me?" she asked back. Rachael then decided to take out her phone and pressed a few buttons. After finding what she was searching, she moved the phone to show Hitomi a message from Midorima.
From: Shintarou
Re:
Yeah, 7-B. How do you know and why do you ask?
Hitomi simply nodded and let out a short 'hmph'. Megumi leaned to see the screen. "What did you reply afterwards?" she asked.
Rachael turned the phone and pressed a few buttons again, then showed the screen for Megumi to see.
To: Shintarou
Re:
Sources, of course. But I'm not really sure so I asked.
Megumi laughed lightly after reading what's on the screen. "Come on, you guys have been bullying him since that incident."
"It's just yesterday. Besides, that was fun." Hitomi responded indifferently.
"I don't know Hitomi -chan has this kind of hobby." Megumi teased.
"Basically only a way to relieve stress from studies." she replied.
"I thought Hitomi-chan doesn't study."
"I'm not you." Hitomi scoffed.
Rachael sighed. "Stop that guys, or lunch break's going to end soon."
"Oh come on, Rachael-chan! Lunch break is an hour long!" Megumi whined.
Rachael and Hitomi sighed as they started walking and searching again until Rachael shouted.
"There!" she pointed to a class in the corner of the hallway which says '7-B'.
"Good job, Rachael-chan!" Megumi said, patting Rachael's head.
"Don't start treating me like a kid." Rachael frowned.
"I don't get why Teiko locates the classes not in an alphabetical order like other schools and why each classes are far from each other." Hitomi stated.
"Well, Teiko is different from other schools, you see, Hitomi -chan? Here in Teiko, 7-B has the best students among all the classes, that's where Shizuka-chan is in. And our class, 7-D, is ranked second. Natsumi-chan and Natsuko-chan are in the 7-A, the third one. Also, the reason they made the classes far from each other is so that the classes can study more focused."
"I didn't understand why I picked this school." Hitomi sighed.
She snapped. "Wait, Megumi." Hitomi turned to her. "you're supposed to be in 7-B, right?"
Megumi laughed. "Well yes, but I told the principal that I'd prefer to be in our current class. I have connections, you know?"
"Aren't your parents strict?" Hitomi asked.
"About that, I told them it's not a big deal and I'm going to be in the best class of the second-year classes next year." Megumi answered.
"And that's the reason you helped us in our studies, for all of us to be in the same class, which is the class you're mentioning, next year?" Hitomi clarified.
"Exactly."
"Now you guys stop ignoring me and let's go or break will seriously end." Rachael interrupted.
They walked to the door and knocked. "Is Midorima Shintarou here?" Rachael asked.
"Eh, you're searching for Midorima…-kun?" a female student approached us and asked. But the moment she asked, it caught every student present in the class's attention. They all gaped at the girls–no, bishoujos[2].
A tall student with a G-cup size, a long-haired student with beautiful heterochromatic eyes, and a student with an eye-blinding bright orange hair and eyes smiling flashily; so, why not?
"Yes, Midorima Shintarou-kun." Rachael repeated.
"Eh- ah! Sorry! Come on in, he's right there." she pointed to a place where a tall green-haired is seating while reading a book which says 'Oha Asa Tips'.
The three girls thanked the student and made their way towards Midorima. Feeling a group of people getting closer, Midorima looked up and sighed when he spotted three girls with familiar faces standing before his table. On the right side of his table is Aiko Hitomi, right in front of his table is Daiyama Rachael, and in the left side of his table is Shirohashi Megumi.
"Hey, Shin- Midorima-kun! I didn't know you were really smart to be able to be in this class!" Rachael greeted.
Midorima sighed. "What do you want?" he asked.
"Well sorry to interrupt you, Midorima-kun, but we want you to do a favor for us." Rachael started.
"I'm not going to do it." Midorima scoffed.
Rachael banged his table, but had put too much power in it that it was able to distract everyone in the class from their businesses. "Why?!" she asked.
Midorima forgot that the girl who is standing before him which is his childhood friend shouldn't be angered. He remembered when she did something much worse than banging a table back in their childhood days.
He rolled his eyes. "Whatever, I change my mind. I'll do it. But it's not because you are the one asking." Midorima said.
Tsunderes, Megumi thought, chuckling.
"Well then, we want you to ask Akashi-kun if we can watch you guys play basketball. My girls seem to be interested in you." Hitomi spoke up, being the only one who knows the basketball club's soon-to-be captain.
"What?" Midorima raised one of his eyebrows.
"Rephrasing what Hitomi-chan said, we want you to ask your captain if we can constantly come and watch the guys from the first strings practice basketball." Megumi corrected.
Midorima went silent; he didn't get what they are trying to say. To ask if they can come to watch them play basketball? What for?
"My girls seem to be interested in you." Hitomi repeated, pressuring every syllable in her sentence.
"What? Why?" Midorima asked.
"You can ask Shizuka about that. She's an expert and will be a really reliable person when it comes to those things." Hitomi answered nonchalantly although she knows that her answer isn't literally an answer.
"…" Midorima went silent once again.
"So, your answer Midorima-kun?" Rachael asked, flashing an evil and threatening smile that says 'reject and die'.
Midorima gulped. "I'll try."
Rachael clasped her hands and tilted her head to the side, her previous smile turning into a bright one. "Thank you very much, Midorima-kun! We'll be counting on you about this matter!"
Megumi searched for a certain person but frowned when she realized that the person she was looking for isn't here. She then poked Rachael's shoulder and leaned on to whisper something in her ear. Rachael nodded and looked over to Hitomi. Being a girl with sharp hearings, Hitomi caught what Megumi whispered in Rachael's ear, Hitomi nodded. Midorima, watching the girls' actions, only raised one his eyebrows. The girls bid their farewells to him and left the class.
Midorima sighed. "These weird girls…"
"I wonder where Shizuka-chan went…" Rachael mumbled, tapping her chin with her forefingers as they walked through the hallways.
"I have a feeling that this has something to do with the Generation of Miracles." Megumi stated and both girls stared at her. "It's just a feeling, come on!" Megumi laughed.
"Eh?" Megumi narrowed her eyebrows to a scene in front of them. "Isn't that Natsumi-chan and Natsuko-chan?" Megumi pointed to two light-blue haired girls walking towards their direction; all eyes are on them, although more to the taller one.
Megumi was about to greet them when a blonde-haired guy approached them and greeted them first. "Hey Mizunocchi!"
Both girls looked at him. "What?" they asked in unison.
"Eh? Who are you? You really look like Mizunocchi!" he exclaimed to Natsuko.
"What do you mean?" Natsuko asked back.
"Oh, Kise Ryouta. This is my twin sister. Her name is Mizuno Natsuko." Natsumi said.
"Mizunocchi you have a twin sister?! You didn't tell me!" he replied.
"I don't have a reason to tell you about my personal life." she said.
"You're so mean!"
Natsuko laughed. "My name is Mizuno Natsuko. You must be Kise Ryouta, that famous model, right? Nice to meet you!" she bowed.
"No need to be so formal, Mizuno-san! Yes, I'm Kise Ryouta. Nice to meet you, too!" he said.
She smiled. "Oh, and you better call us by our first names. It gets really confusing if you call us by our last names. Especially when we are together, and the problem is that we're mostly together."
"Okay then! Hmm… how about Natsuko-san?" Kise asked.
"That should be far better, Kise-kun." she answered.
Natsumi coughed to catch their attentions. "Well then, Kise Ryouta. We'll be-"
"Wait! Mizunocchi, I haven't decided a nickname for you!"
"Is that actually necessary?" Natsumi facepalmed.
However, Kise ignored her question and asked her back. "'Natsumi-chan' good enough?"
"Yes! Don't you think so, Natsumi-chan?" Natsuko answered.
"What?! No!" Natsumi shouted.
"Why not?" Rachael suddenly interrupted them with the other two girls beside her.
"Then Natsumi-chan, that is!"
"Natsumi-chan is just a tsundere, she must like it." Megumi added.
"Is that so?"
"Of course, she's Mizuno Natsumi after all." Hitomi joined.
"Hey!" Natsumi shouted.
"Eh? Whoa! You three are Natsumi-chan's friends?" Kise asked, ignoring Natsumi's shout.
"Yup~! Best friends, to be precise~!" Megumi sang. "Actually, there's one more in our circle but she had disappeared to nowhere." she continued, making it more like telling a fantasy story.
Kise laughed.
"Anyways, my name is Daiyama Rachael. I'm a Japanese-Korean so don't be confused with my first name. I'm the one usually taking care of us. Nice meeting you!" Rachael said.
"The name's Shirohashi Megumi, nice to meet'cha!" Megumi said.
"I'm Aiko Hitomi, it's a pleasure to meet you. You must be Kise Ryouta, right?" Hitomi asked.
"Yes, I'm Kise Ryouta. Nice meeting you three, too!" Kise said.
"Well, Kise-kun. It seems like our hot-tempered beauty here is starting to be angry. We should probably get going now." Megumi stated. "Plus lunch is going to end soon so we should be fast."
"And that is why I told you two to not spend too much time blabbering and debating." Rachael said. Pulling a paper fan from under her skirt, she slapped Megumi and Hitomi's head.
"Being the oldest doesn't mean you can hit us with such a foolish reason, Hael. It's just lunch break." Hitomi frowned.
"But I'm really huuungry!" Rachael said.
Hitomi sighed and Megumi laughed.
"Well then, Kise-kun, we'll be going now. Natsuko, Natsumi, you joining?" Hitomi asked.
"Of course! See you later, Kise-kun!" Natsuko said, winking to Kise.
"There goes the flirtatious Natsuko-chan!" Megumi laughed.
"I'll be staying in class. I haven't finished my homework." Natsumi sighed lazily.
"Go finish, Natsumi-chan. Now Kise-kun, see you around~!" Rachael sang, waving to Kise as she and the gang head to the cafeteria. Kise smiled and waved back.
Natsumi said nothing and walked lazily towards her class.
Bonus Part: Teiko's Phantom Sixth Man
A light blue-haired teenage boy tried throwing the basketball in his hands into the basketball ring inside Teiko Middle School's gym but failed horribly as the ball bounced the rim and fell to the ground. He watched as the ball glide towards the gym entrance. He was just about to chase and get it until he saw that it stopped gliding as it was blocked by a certain someone's feet. The ball was then picked up by a delicate figure of a black-haired girl. The boy observed the girl who picked the ball, she seems really familiar.
"We meet again." the girl stated in a soft voice.
By her voice, he snapped. He knows who this girl is.
"Long time no see, Kurosawa-san." he replied.
"Didn't I tell you to drop the last name basis?" she asked, smiling amusedly at the boy's politeness.
"It's an old habit, Shizuka-san." he answered.
"Well, Tetsuya-kun? Practicing your basketball on lunch break? How hardworking." she chuckled.
She looked down to the ball in her hands, the moved her platinum pupils up to the basketball ring. She walked towards the three-point line inside the court and raised both of her hands up above her head, still holding the ball. She aimed for the ring and jumped, throwing the ball while still in mid-air. The ball disappeared in thin air and then reappeared right above the ring and went smoothly inside before falling to the ground.
"I still haven't figured out why I'm not able to do that when you and Ogiwara-kun are capable of doing it, Shizuka-san."
"Then why not ask the person now standing on the entrance of this gym?" she asked.
While the girl turned to see the person she mentioned, the boy looked confused and darted his gaze to the entrance.
"Hello there, Akashi Seijurou-kun." she greeted politely.
"As I thought, you have a very strong sixth sense, Kurosawa Shizuka." the person called 'Akashi Seijurou' replied.
"That's just a trait from my parents." the girl who was called 'Kurosawa Shizuka' said as she chuckled lightly.
Akashi smirked and turned to the previous boy who tried shooting the ball. "I assume you know this girl, Kuroko?"
"She's a friend I and my childhood friend usually bump into in a basketball court near my house." the boy explained.
"Is that so…"
"He's quite talented, don't you think, Akashi-kun? And that talent of is just similar with mine." Shizuka asked, crossing her arms.
"That might be right." Akashi answered.
The bluenette merely gave the both of them a confused look in his expressionless face.
"Kuroko, like Kurosawa said. You might have some hidden ability, something that is related with your lack of presence, similar with Kurosawa's." Akashi stated.
It was then Kuroko Tetsuya snapped and then tried practicing a certain thing the days after.
Preview for the next chapter
"Hitomi-chan, are you serious?!"
"Eh? What are you doing here?"
"It's really delicious!"
"It's been a long time, isn't it?"
"It feels nice."
A/N: okay, I guess I made a little plot twist in the bonus part? Oh, whatever lol. So here is Kuroko's first debut in the fic! :D
Random Note: Shizuka isn't counted as a 'childhood friend' of Kuroko; they only met last year in a street basketball court where Kuroko usually practices his basketball. And I honestly don't know when Akashi started calling Kuroko by his first name so I thought, probably after Kuroko joined in games with the GoM guys. Oh yeah, the chapter's title only refers to the bonus part because I ain't creative. :P
I forgot to tell you guys that the setting of this fic is after the Inter High nationals which is obviously won by Teiko. (P.S: I don't know when did Kuroko start playing with the GoM, so I made the setting myself)
[1] bento – simply a Japanese-styled lunch box
[2] bishoujo – slang for 'beautiful girl' (bi: pretty/beautiful; shoujo: girl)
