Chapter two: Starting.
Teiko Academy is a prestigious school ranging from elementary to high school level, which is located in Tokyo.
...Not exactly in Tokyo, actually. Well, the school complex is built on a small island twenty minutes by boat from Tokyo Harbor, the Teikojima Island.
Ah, yes. Teiko Academy is located on an island.
The island, which is already enormous enough to contain three school buildings, from elementary to high school level, also consisted of dorm buildings. There are two dormitories; girl's dorm, and boy's dorm.
Students of Teiko Academy are given choices to stay in the dorm, or go back and forth from school to their houses—which they need to ride boats everyday. But if they choose to live in a dorm, they will be given each a room with a size of deluxe hotel room with a King-sized bed. Hence why the dormitory is large enough for thousands of people.
Hence why Kuroko Tetsuka was currently gaping at her new room.
"So, this will be your room for the next two years." Momoi explained as she showed her the huge room.
Tetsuka was not surprised by the size. Well, her room in Kuroko household was actually much bigger than this. But for a mere school to accommodate a room like this for EACH student, this is too much.
For the second time, this school surprised her. First was yesterday when she realized that Akashi had brought her to Tokyo Harbor, and that they actually had to ride a boat to go to the said school building. Second were the dorms.
But with that, Tetsuka confirmed that Teiko is not a mere academy (even though she should have known when Akashi mentioned that this school trains many students to perfection under the name of Almighty).
"There's a lounge and a cafe at the lobby, they're open for twenty-four hours. And don't worry the school will pay for everything at the cafe."
Is there anything that the school won't pay for the students?
Tetsuka almost shivered at the thought of how much the fee was, despite her social status as a Kuroko. She hoped her father wouldn't really mind her transferring here.
Oh, speaking about her father. Tetsuka had met her father right after the introduction with her new teammates. The meeting was nothing special. Toshiyuki said things like taking care of herself, or him hoping her to enjoy her school life here, and a few words of apology, which were also mentioned by Tetsuka herself, since she did feel a bit guilty for rejecting (living with) him like that.
But she really couldn't see her father just like those years ago.
Well, things had changed, indeed.
"Kuroko-san, I'll be leaving then. If you want to see us come visit at the warehouse, okay? We'll be glad to see you. Besides, you haven't talked with Akashi-kun about your training, right?" Momoi said. For some reason the team called their basecamp warehouse, much to Tetsuka's mild confusion. "Oh, and I'll be here at seven thirty AM tomorrow to pick you up to the class!"
"Thank you very much, Momoi-san." Tetsuka bowed politely, making the other girl begged her to be less polite to someone of the same age. But the teal-haired girl couldn't help it, she'd been like that ever since she was nothing but a child. All those teachings about manners and proper formal stuffs she got from her old kindergarten (what school teaches formal stuffs to five year olds?) and elementary school had already stuck in her mind.
After Momoi left, Tetsuka unpacked her belongings, which her father gave to her when he visited earlier. The clothes she had brought with her from her old rent wouldn't be enough, of course. Arranging the clothes in the wardrobe, Tetsuka noticed the uniform Momoi had given to her.
Teiko's uniform consists of blue shirt—that ironically had similar color with her hair—a dark skirt, and white blazer. She hanged the uniform outside of the wardrobe, so that she wouldn't forget anything for tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow she will start anew.
She hoped her classmates would accept her.
And talking about acceptance, Tetsuka suddenly remembered her first meeting earlier with the members of Almighty; Midorima-kun, and Kise-kun.
Both of them didn't speak much, just telling their names, with Midorima refused to tell her his number in the team, meanwhile Kise was practically shouting his number, which is number eight. Even though Midorima showed some frank hostility, Kise was actually pretty welcoming. But all Tetsuka had to do to find the truth was stare at their eyes. And of course, their eyes couldn't lie; it was very clear.
They hadn't accepted her as a part of the team.
Despite that meant she hadn't found a place in the team, that didn't surprise Tetsuka at all. In fact, she'd be surprised if they accepted her right away. The blue-haired female herself was still confused with Akashi Seijuro's judgment. How come he viewed her as someone with potential? All she could do is run, and hide.
But he did promise to train her, to help her develop her possibly one in a million talent. Tetsuka almost sweat-dropped at the description of her ability, but she just agreed nonetheless.
Because then again, she did owe him something. Akashi had helped her in defending her freedom, and she was grateful for that.
At least now she didn't need to transfer to Seirin without her father's consent.
Oh, wait. Seirin.
The bluehead immediately fished her phone out of her pocket, and called a number. The phone rang a few times, resounding annoying beeps into her ear, before a feminine voice greeted her.
"Kuroko-chan, what's up?" Aida Riko spoke cheerfully. Tetsuka could hear many chattering of people, so she guessed that the older female was in public place, since school should be over by now.
"Aida-san," she began. "I have transferred to Teiko." Tetsuka said straight to the point, creating a silence that lasted for about five seconds before Riko's yell and demands of explanation invaded her ears.
"Explain. NOW." Aida Riko demanded, her voice became dark and managed to make Tetsuka stutter before she began her explanation. She told her everything, from Akashi (dubbed as Number Four in her story—she didn't remember Akashi allowing her to spill the beans) following her and introducing himself, and finally managed to bring her back due to her father's orders. But she left the part where she was recruited into Almighty Company. She couldn't tell her. Not yet, anyway. And she couldn't tell her that Almighty Company was based in Teiko Academy.
"So… This number four gave you a solution because he knew that your father actually had considered to transfer you to Teiko, them being prestigious and all. And since that's the best option available at the moment, you have no choice but to take it." She concluded, Tetsuka confirmed her lie and the former sighed.
"Really, Kuroko-chan, you gave me quite a shock!" Riko scolded her, worry hinted in her voice. Tetsuka smiled a little at the worry-wrat as she realized Riko had been a sister-like figure to her, with all her worries and all. "Sorry, Aida-san."
"Yeah, yeah. Don't forget about me while in Teiko, okay? It wouldn't hurt to drop a visit to Seirin, I'll introduce you to the basketball club." Oh, yes. Aida Riko is a basketball coach at Seirin. It's amazing how she's been coaching them since her first year of high school. Despite having interest in basketball when she was a kid, Tetsuka lacked updates about high school basketball club, but from Riko's stories it seems like Seirin is strong. The younger girl quite anticipated their meeting soon.
"I would like to meet them."
Riko scoffed, before an announcement was heard. The older girl gasped a little. "Kuroko-chan, my train has arrived. Catch you later! Just call me if you need something, okay? Bye!" The phone ended with a beep, leaving Tetsuka smiled slightly to herself. It was nice having a friend like Riko, she realized.
The tealhead put her phone on the nightstand before plopping herself to the king-sized bed. Her feet kicked something as she did it, and she realized that she had about two bags to unpack; one large (like those bags people use to travel for more than a week), and one medium sized travelling bag.
Kuroko Tetsuka almost groaned at them.
The next day…
"Class, today we have a new student. Please introduce yourself."
The teacher glanced to his left, only to find the supposed new student absent. Scratching his head, he continued to search.
"Are? Where is she? She's right behind me earlier..."
"I'm here, Sir." A voice said flatly, making the middle aged man tried to find the source. Students who were present in the class also looked around confusedly, until a small girl with light blue hair suddenly appeared beside their homeroom teacher.
Almost all students—even Kise who's currently watching the whole scene before him—gasped at her sudden appearance.
"Whoa where did she come from?!"
"She just appeared out of the thin air!"
"I didn't see her enter the class!"
Kise sweatdropped, mouth gaping as he stared at his new teammate. She really is invisible. Yesterday at their first meeting, she was actually pretty visible to the eye, but Momoi informed him, "Akashi-kun said she is almost invisible."
That only made him frown at the pinkhead.
But he didn't expect that she would literary invisible.
"W-Where did you come from?" The teacher asked, still surprised and now trying to calm down.
"I've been right here from the start." Kuroko answered with what Kise comprehend as a sigh, like she had answered that kind of question thousand times before this.
The blonde furrowed his eyebrows. How come she had been there but no one noticed her? Kise questioned in his head. He watched as Kuroko introduced herself, and the teacher told him to sit on one of the chairs in the back of the class.
It turned out Kuroko sat behind him, since his seat was in the second row from the back of the class. He turned to her as she pulled out a textbook for the next class.
Her sky blue eyes met with his hazel ones as she nodded to him, greeting him wordlessly. He blinked, before grinning awkwardly. He thought to himself,
What a weirdo.
And with that Kise Ryota decided to pay attention to the class.
Tetsuka strode along the hallways with her stomach begging for food. The cafeteria was located on the same floor of her class, which was on second floor, so it shouldn't be far.
Earlier in the class, her homeroom teacher asked whether she needed a guide to help her adapt in the new environment. The blue-haired girl politely declined the offer, saying that she wouldn't need it.
It wasn't a lie, though. Due to running away from her house more than few times before, it made her a fast-adapting person. Finding ways through a new place wouldn't be a slightest problem for her. That's why she had rejected the offer.
When she finally reached the cafeteria—God bless her instincts, it's still working despite her hunger—Tetsuka immediately bought a sandwich and milk. Feeling satisfied, she went back to her class while drinking the milk she just bought.
A few meters from her class, in front of another class of second years, a familiar redhead caught her eye. Akashi didn't seem like realizing her presence though.
"Akashi-kun," she greeted. To her mild surprise, the redhead turned right away, almost seemed like he'd been expecting her to greet him like now.
"Ah, Tetsuka." The owner of heterochromatic eyes replied. He eyed the sandwich and the milk in her hand. "Having lunch?"
"Yes. I'm going to eat them in class."
"I see."
"Excuse me then." With that the female excused herself. But before she could distance himself from him any further, a calm, demanding voice called her.
"Tetsuka." She turned to him, eyes staring at him expressionlessly.
"Yes, Akashi-kun?"
"Meet me at the first gym after school, and bring your PE uniform." He said sternly. "I'm going to test your current abilities."
Tetsuka blinked.
"Eh?"
Right after the bell rang, Tetsuka immediately dashed out of her class to her dorm. She needed to get her PE clothes since she didn't bring it to school today. She had to wonder what kind of test Akashi will be giving to her. From the word 'gym' and 'PE uniform' she quickly guessed that it'll be physical test.
She was certain the redhead wanted to test her speed, agility and stuffs like that.
Putting her PE clothes and a bottle of water inside her bag, she pursed her lips in distaste at the thought of running and sprinting, or maybe even sit-ups. Ugh. She loathed those stuffs. She had never been one to have interest in sports after all. Maybe basketball, while she was lot younger. But the petite girl never had any time to pursue her interest, since her childhood was never been the fun and exciting one.
Tetsuka finished her preparation, and went out of her room only to meet a certain well-endowed female with cherry-blossom coloured hair.
"Kuroko-chan! I was about to ask you if you want to come along with me to the warehouse," The rosette said cheerfully.
"Momoi-san," she greeted. "Actually, I'm going to the first gym, right now. Do you know where is it?"
The pinkhead tilted her head. "First gym? I know… But what are you doing there?"
"Akashi-kun is going to test me."
"Really?!" The manager of Almighty suddenly shrilled, eyes wide with interest. "Then I'll bring you there! But can I watch?"
Tetsuka nodded after a short moment of contemplating. Akashi wouldn't mind a company, would he? Well, she hoped not. "Sure." She said. "Let's go then."
Momoi perked up and grabbed the pale girl's hand, "Let's go to the first gym!"
The air left Tetsuka's lungs as the pinkhead dragged her along while she ran excitedly, not paying attention to the wide-eyed blue-haired girl. When she finally slowed down, the bubbly girl apologized to her while giggling and Tetsuka accepted it wholeheartedly.
Then, Momoi admitted she was more than curious towards her new acquaintance.
"You know, it's been a while since Akashi-kun recruited someone. That's why as a manager I really want to know your abilities!"
"I see…" Tetsuka all but murmured.
Both girls chatted about random things before they went inside the empty gym, with the door was unlocked already. The quiet girl looked around the large and empty room, eyes searching for the boy whose hair was bright crimson. Momoi poked her, smiling knowingly.
"Don't worry," the manager said with her hands intertwined behind her back. "He's always like that. Always arrives later than the others."
"You mean he's always late?" Tetsuka deadpanned.
"No, no. It's more like… He always appears after all of us arrive first. Sometimes we thought that maybe Akashi-kun actually arrives first than everyone, but hides somewhere then pops out after we're finally present." Momoi said playfully, making the shorter girl tilt her head, processing the weird information she just got—
"So that's what you all think of me."
Talk of the Devil, and he shall appear.
Momoi paled. Both of them turned only to face Akashi and his seemly signature pose of crossing his hands almost arrogantly. The bubbly female went quiet before averting her gaze a bit nervously. She breathed a humorless laugh.
"Ehe… Hi there, Akashi-kun." She waved timidly.
"Satsuki, what are you doing here?" He demanded as he closed the gym entrance, voice demanding and almost cold.
"Kuroko-chan told me that you're going to test her today, so I come to watch," she explained meekly, head bowing down and fingers fiddling. Tetsuka interrupted her.
"Momoi-san is curious about my abilities, so she would like to observe. Do you mind, Akashi-kun?"
Akashi scanned the cerulean eyes of his new teammate as he discovered that her question meant no offense at all. She was merely asking for his permission.
"Of course I don't mind." He said, his dual coloured eyes hardened less. "Tetsuka, change your uniforms in the locker room. Satsuki, accompany her. We will start as soon as you finish preparing yourself."
Both girls shouted, "Yes!" With Tetsuka doing it with less volume. The situation reminded her of a club activity, Akashi being the leader—wait, the Almighty Team itself shared similarities of a club already. It has a leader, a manager, and of course more than five members (Tetsuka was informed that the Generation of Miracles was only one tenth of the whole members of Almighty, so at least the club has fifty members).
Momoi helped her folding her school uniform and putting them in one of the empty lockers. Tetsuka put on her PE shirt and the short pants that reached a little bit above her knee. After finished, they both went back to the gym, finding Akashi holding a clipping board, a whistle, and a stopwatch. He told Momoi to assist him in collecting data of their new member.
The cerulean female was tying her long hair when Akashi approached her without a warning.
"First, I'm going to test your speed."—Tetsuka sighed inwardly at her correct guess—"You see that line over there?" His slender finger pointed at the black line made by a duct tape. "That's the starting line. And another one over there?" he pointed to another, approximately thirty-five metres away from the first one. "You're going to sprint as fast as you can to that finish line. I suppose you know the basics of sprint and the starting positions?"
Tetsuka nodded, her eyes focusing on the running track before it went back to Akashi's face again.
"Now get in the position." The superior teen demanded as the inferior one quickly skipped to the start line. Tetsuka stood behind the line, her right feet two steps away from the black marking. She found Momoi's eyes and then nodded at her, which the pinkhead replied with an understanding smile.
"On your mark," the feminine voice instructed. Almost immediately, Tetsuka's knees folded as the right one met the wooden floor. Her hands stretched at the ground as she had her blue eyes tightly on the black line.
"Get set," she changed her position, eyes now focused straight to the front.
Momoi held the stopwatch in her right hand.
Tetsuka almost turned her head at the unusual time gap when she finally heard the "GO!" she had been waiting for. Despite losing her focus for one millisecond, she started sprinting anyway—
"Stop."
—Only to be stopped by none other than Akashi Seijuro.
"You lost your focus. It will affect the results. Start over."
Momoi made a face.
Tetsuka stared at the redhead, annoyance almost visible in her eyes.
"You were really good at the zig-zag running, Kuroko-chan!"
The two females walk with each other, with Tetsuka panting a little after finishing her tests. In the end, she only did two tests; speed test and the agility test. For the latter, she had to run zig-zag among the cones that Akashi had arranged for her.
Finally, the crimson haired male announced the results to her. He didn't look amused or disappointed, it was like he had already guessed the results.
"Your speed is almost below the average, but you excelled quite well in agility. Next time, you will run for laps in this gym. I would like to see how well you could endure them." He explained with a challenging tone hinting in his voice. Tetsuka's eyebrows rose slightly, and the corners of her lips stretched into a small smile.
"I will do my best."
She loved challenge after all.
Akashi smirked.
"Very well." He said. "You're now dismissed. And, Tetsuka," he called. "If you need to take the shower, I suggest you to use the bathroom at the warehouse or at your own dorm, since I need to lock the gym immediately."
Tetsuka nodded. "Thank you, Akashi-kun."
"Kuroko-chan, why don't you take a bath at the warehouse? I know the dorm is close, but let's spend some time together! You know, girls talk? Oh and why don't stay at the warehouse for the night?! You can sleep in my room!" Momoi blabbered as she watched Tetsuka put her uniforms inside her bag.
"…But, I don't bring any soaps or shampoos, or even a towel." The quiet girl replied, ignoring the sleepover invitation, focusing only on the bath, since she already felt sticky from the sweat.
"You can just borrow mine! Don't worry" The rosette grinned at her, which Tetsuka replied with a small smile. "So how about it?"
"That would be nice, thank you Momoi-san."
"Don't mention it"
When they arrived at the warehouse, via backdoor, they found Kise Ryota slouching on the sofa, dozing off in a slumber. Tetsuka blinked, as Momoi sighed.
"Really, that Ki-chan. It's almost seven PM and he's still sleeping here?" Momoi murmured, walking towards the sofa Kise slept on, and shook the blonde boy.
"Ki-chaan, wake up!"
The taller male groaned, before huddling himself further in the couch.
"Momocchi… You're so lousy…"
Said female pouted and she went back to shake Kise, more vigorously now.
Tetsuka sweat dropped at the corner, watching the scene before her.
"Momoi-san…"
"Ah, Kuroko-chan, just go ahead to my room. My room is the one that's not locked, and it's near the corner. The towels are inside the cabinet under the sink. I'm sorry I can't accompany you I need to wake him up!" Momoi shouted, hands still shaking the blonde as the latter now tried to cover his head with one of the pillows on the sofa.
"Thank you Momoi-san." And with that Tetsuka left the living room, searching for the room. She realized the warehouse actually had quite lot of rooms. There are four rooms on the left, and three on the right. And now she had occupied one room, which meant the rooms are all now occupied.
The tealhead tried to open the door on the right corner, and found out that it was locked. That meant that it must be the one on the left. She twisted the handle, and true, the door opened and inside was pitch black. She fumbled to find the switch, before clicked it and greeted the sudden bright light.
After giving a slight glance to the altogether neat room, she went in the bathroom and observed her surroundings slightly. A light-blue eyebrow rose, as she stared carefully at the bathroom. But then she decided to put her stuffs on the rack near the sink.
She looked inside the shelf under the sink, indeed finding some towels there. Taking one, she hung it on one of the hooks before undressing herself. Her hand stopped when she took in a sight of something unusual on the sink. Tetsuka tilted her head, blinking her eyes in confusion. But then she just ignored it and proceeded to the shower.
After a good fifteen minutes, she slid the shower door open, stepping out with water dripping form her hair and body. She took the towel near the sink. As she dried herself she accidentally knocked her clothes and made them drop to a puddle of water that had pooled under her feet.
A one, big puddle of water.
Tetsuka's eyes narrowed, not amused at all.
How come she could knock both her PE clothes and her school uniform as well? She cursed her stupidity. After a moment of thinking, she thought of wearing it, but even though it was summer and cold is nice for heat like this, it's already seven PM and wearing wet clothes are not healthy at all.
Maybe she could just borrow one of Momoi's. She would tell her later. The pink-haired maiden wouldn't mind.
As Tetsuka was equipping her underwear which was lucky enough to not get wet, she heard the door creaking open outside.
It must be Momoi-san, she thought.
When she finished putting on her undies, Tetsuka covered her body with the towel before she opened the door, giving it a small gap for her to peek outside.
She found no Momoi insight.
"Momoi-san,"
Ah, of course she wouldn't hear her. The blue haired girl realized her lack of presence could be troublesome at times like this. Then again, it wasn't like she could control it.
Deciding that just calling Momoi's name would be fruitless, Tetsuka opened the door wider and peeked her body outside, her feet about to take a step out of the bathroom.
She raised her voice a little, "Momoi-san—"
But stood in front of her was not Momoi Satsuki.
Tetsuka's emotions submerged unconsciously, suddenly her presence became very clear, and she just stood there frozen like a deer in the headlights.
And, instead of meeting strawberry colored eyes, her aquamarine irises clashed with unfamiliar sapphire ones.
The tall, navy haired boy who was apparently in the middle of undressing himself with his hands lifting his black shirt (revealing his toned stomach—not that it mattered to Tetsuka) was definitely not Momoi Satsuki.
But as she saw him, Tetsuka instantly found the answers she was looking for. Why was the bathroom so unorganized, why would Momoi-san had a razor and shaving cream, why were there clothes (which were not feminine enough to be Momoi's) thrown everywhere, and of course, why would a girl had a photobook of the big-breasted Horikita Mai, which sat on top of the toilet. How come she didn't realize it earlier!
Tetsuka's lips parted open as the tanned male in front of her had his eyes wide like it was going to poke out of its sockets.
And the scene froze just like that for about five seconds.
...
Then the male screamed.
"Y-You! Who are you and why are you—" he stammered as his cheeks turned red, hands now trying to hold back the incoming blood from his nose by covering it with his t-shirt.
Thin expressions of embarrassment colored Tetsuka's face as she murmured, monotonous at the best that she could, "I'm sorry." Before she slammed the door behind her.
As the barely clothed female tried to process what-in-hell-is-happening, she heard rushing footsteps and the door opened, then a familiar screeching voice.
"Dai-chan what's wrong!" Momoi gasped as she saw her childhood friend, his hands covered in blotch of reds from the fresh blood that was flowing from his nose.
"T-That girl, who is she, why—"
"...That girl?"
The door clicked open.
...From the small gap, Tetsuka peeked, revealing her presence inside the bathroom.
Momoi's eyes widened.
"Kuroko-chan! Why are you here I thought you are in my bathroom-" She stared at Kuroko's lack of wardrobe. "Clothes! Clothes! You need clothes where's your clothes?!"
"...I'm sorry, they got soaked. Can I borrow your clothes, Momoi-san?" The pinkhead jolted at the question.
"Yes of course you can! Give me a second!" Momoi dashed out of the door, only to come back once again. "And close the bathroom door! Don't let Hentai-mine look at you like that!"
The still-struggling-with-nosebleed tanned boy sneered at Momoi, offended by her words. "Oi Satsuki! You bastard!"
Tetsuka who had closed the door and rested her back on the door sighed. What kind of situation she had gotten herself into…
Her ears caught sounds of doors creaking open and not long after someone knocked on the door behind her. Feeling certain that it was Momoi, the tealhead opened it, and Momoi got in the room immediately.
"Kuroko-chan, what happened? Why are you here, instead of my room?" The taller female asked worriedly. Meekly, Tetsuka tried to explain the situation in her point of view. Momoi listened as she suddenly gasped.
"Oh my god… I forgot to tell you that my room is second from the corner! And just in luck I forgot to luck Dai-chan's room after I cleaned it up yesterday… ("Oh that's how a boy's room is that neat.")" The pinkhead frowned as her eyes started to water a bit. "Kuroko-chan, I'm sorry…"
Tetsuka, already finished putting on her borrowed wardrobe that consisted of t-shirt and a pair of shorts, went to the slightly taller girl to pat her on her head.
"No, no, it's okay Momoi-san. I'm at fault too, to be careless of my surroundings… I should've known that this is not your room."
Momoi stared at the petite girl, eyes watering, before she engulfed Tetsuka in a deadly hug. "I'M SO SORRY—" She bawled. Tetsuka patted Momoi's hair awkwardly, murmuring "There, there…" to the girl in her arms.
"I almost made you lost your innocence to that pervert—" she hiccupped and an angry shout was heard from outside. "OI! The hell did you mean by that!?"
"Shut up Hentai-mine!"
Tetsuka listened to their argues quietly. And after a few moments, Momoi finally calmed down. "Kuroko-chan, I'm really, really sorry. I didn't mean to… Please don't be mad at me,"
The cerulean eyed female smiled softly at her. "Don't worry Momoi-san, I'm not mad at you. And I've forgiven you too—"
"TETSU-CHAN~ THANK YOU!" Once again Momoi caught her in a deadly embrace, and Tetsuka could only pat her back. "You're welcome, Momoi-san." She struggled.
The bathroom door opened, and the navy-haired male who were seating on his bed stood up and went up to the two girls. He scratched the back of his head, a scowl sat on his face, along with the still-lingering blush. But it seemed like his nosebleed had stopped. The taller teen was shocked though. He just got back from his hell of a mission, and suddenly, just when he wanted a good night sleep on his comfy bed, a certain girl had to appear from his bathroom with nothing but a towel. But he was sure that girl meant no harm either.
"Uh… Sorry, for that." He mumbled as he stared at his feet that suddenly became interesting. Momoi, who's clinging to Tetsuka's shoulder, pouted at her childhood friend.
"I apologize too, for invading your room without your permission. And for using the bathroom, too." Tetsuka bowed deeply. The tanned boy mumbled again, incoherently asking her to stop bowing down.
Suddenly, Momoi stood between the two of them. She cleared her throat.
"Now, that the problem is finished ("This is all your fault, dammit."), why don't you two introduce yourselves, you know, starting over?" The pinkhead suggested with a revived grin on her face.
"Alright then. My name is Kuroko Tetsuka, the new member of Almighty." Tetsuka bowed once again.
"Aomine Daiki," he grunted, still embarrassed to look the petite girl in the eyes. "Look, I'm really sorry 'bout what happened earlier…"
"Apology accepted. Nice to meet you… Hentai-mine-san."
"I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU'D FORGIVE ME!"
And that's how Tetsuka met Aomine Daiki, the pervert.
...
Meanwhile Kise…
"Uh… So noisy…" He rubbed his eyes sleepily as he stood up. The blonde dragged himself towards his room, not even curious of the chaos in Aominecchi's room.
"Whatever… I'll just go to sleep."
And he plopped on his bed, eyes automatically closing as he drifted off to his dreamland.
Here you go, people; the second chapter.

[EDIT 01/05]: Changed the Author's notes, chapter title, and added some stuff to the last part.
