Chapter II
The Father
Momoi Satsuki is riding an afternoon train again going to a restaurant near the high school she attended, Touou High. She recieved a call from Sakurai last night and he told her that her Touou high team mates wanted to treat her for a welcome back party and she gladly accept it. But there was something else on the pink haired girl's thoughts. Satsuki can't stop thinking about the little girl she met at the train station two days ago.
*flashback*
"...can you please help me?" The blue haired girl asked the lady in front of her.
"Eh? Y-yea...what is it?" The said lady asked in return to the little girl. "Hmm...I lost my Dad in the train..." The girl said with a pout. "...What should I do? Maybe he's scared right now. I bet he didn't noticed I'm gone." She added turning her pout to a frown. Then tears are starting to form in her eyes. The pink haired panicked a liitle and quickly console the little girl. "Hey, hey. It's ok. I'll help you." She gave her a smile and gently tap her shoulders to assure her."Don't worry, I'm pretty sure he's looking for you too."
"What's your name?" She asked as she squat down to have a better view of the girl. "M-my name is Aya..." The girl hesitantly answered. "It's nice to meet you Aya. My name's Satsuki." Momoi smiled to the girl. "Hmm...can I...can I call you Sa-nee chan?" The blue haired girl asked shyly. "Yes, of course! Then, can I call you Aya-chan?" The girl giggled and nodded in reply. "Lets go find your dad, Aya-chan!"
"Yes!"
Momoi took the girl to the station manager to report that she was looking for Aya's father. When they got to the booth, Momoi asked the lady in charge for help. "Please wait there outside the booth for a moment while we contact the other stations, Ma'am." she told them. Aya quickly tip toed to the window and said. "I know my father's cell number, Miss. You can call him and tell him I'm here!" there's a little excitement on the girl's voice. "That's great, please go inside and tell me the details little miss." The lady replied and opened the booth's door for them. Just before they got inside, Momoi's phone rings. She lead Aya to the manager and excuses herself to answer the call. It was her assistant, she told Momoi that she was needed in the construction site in one of the new stores. After ending the phone call, she quickly went back to Aya and saw the manager talking with someone on the phone. "Ma'am, I informed her father that she's here in the station. He's on his way to get you little miss." she said to the two girls after hanging up the phone. Aya looked at Momoi and gave her a big smile. The pink haired smiled back and sat next to her. "There's an emergency I need to go to, Aya-chan. Will you be ok here with manager-san and wait for your father?" her smile turned to a worried one. The little girl nodded and hugged her "I'll miss you Sa-nee chan! Thank you for you help!" she said. Momoi's eyes widen, the manager looked at them and smiled at Momoi. She hugged back the little girl and said "You're welcome, Aya-chan."
"I'll take care of her Ma'am." the manager said to Momoi. She nodded to her and went to the door. "Thank you again for your help, Sa-nee chan!" Aya said and bowed to her. Momoi bowed back and said goodbye.
*end flashback*
Momoi Satsuki sigh as she got out of the train. She's a little bit worried if Aya got to her father safely. Even though the manager in the station assured her that she'll take care of Aya, she can't help to worry about the girl. She decided to stop by the station manager's booth and asked what happened. When she arrived at the booth, the manager recognized her and greeted her. "Good day Ma'am! The little girl you brought here the other day got to her father safely." she smiled at Momoi. "Really?! That's good to hear! Thank you!" Momoi almost jump in joy. "You're welcome, Ma'am."
"WELCOME BACK, MANAGER!" a group of men cheered as they lift a shot of sake and clink it with each other. The pink haired lady stood up and bowed to the people who cheered. "Thank you, guys! You really don't have to do this. I should be the one to treat all of you."
"Good! You can get the bill later, Satsuki." The tall tan guy said to his bestfriend then take a sip of sake in a bottle he's holding. "Oi Aomine, we talked about this. The plan is to treat our manager. Not the other way around!" The former captain of the team said to the bluenet. "What plan? No one told me about your plan!"
"It's my fault Imayoshi-senpai! I forgot to tell Aomine-kun about the plan. I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" Sakurai added to the two guys arguing. The light brown haired guy stands up to bow and continued saying 'sorry' to the two. Momoi laughed at the scene before her. "You guys still hasn't changed. I'm glad." She said and all of them looked at her for a second and gave her a smile.
"Speaking of change, I heard you're getting married, Susa-senpai?" The blonde guy they call Wakamatsu asked the brunet beside him. The asked guy was startled but quickly replied to him. "Ah! Yes, yes. You're all invited. Please do come. I'll just send you all an invitation next time."
"That's not change you idiot, that's new!" Aomine said to the yellow-haired guy. "Hey! don't call me idiot! I'm still your Senpai!" he replied angrily. The rest sweat drop at the new commotion. "I bet she wears glasses, too! Congratulations Yoshinori!" Imayoshi said and ignored the two, he raised his glass and make another toast for their former vice captain. The rest of them followed to congratulate him and cheered. Seeing the attention is now on him, Yoshinori bowed a few times to thank them. "So Momoi-san? How about you? Have you dated someone in England?" He asked the pink haired girl to turn back the attention to her. "Eh?" Momoi was surprised and almost jump from her seat.
For the second time they all looked at her and wait for her response. The girl was not used to this kind of situations. This very rare scene of her team mates asking her about her love life never crossed Momoi's mind. But she have to reply. Seeing their gazes and stares makes her gulp and blush uncontrollably. "I-I d-don't have time for that Senpai!" She finally replied to the question. "Oh come on Momoi-san! Don't tell me you didn't find some attractive men in there!" Imayoshi said and the rest of them nodded in agreement except for Aomine. Momoi panicked but tried to force a smile to them. "There are some guys who tried to ask me out but I turn them down because I have to focus on my studies." She added, hoping they'll give up asking her more. "Are you still waiting for that Kuroko guy?" Wakamatsu asked.
The the pink haired girl's face is now like a tomato. Hearing Tetsuya's name in this kind of topic makes her heartbeats fast! Seeing the situation, Aomine speak up before Momoi could reply. "This is boring! Why are we talking about this? Besides, aren't we suppose to ask Imayoshi-senpai first with these kind of questions before anyone else?" The now asked man looked at Aomine curiously. "What? Me?! Haven't I told you I'm dating someone?" Everyone was silent at his reply. All of them looked at their previous captain with shock.
"WHAAAAAT?"
Momoi laughed all night with her team mates. Seeing her previous team like this sure brings back memories of their high school days.
*flashback*
Touou High - 85 / Seirin High - 98
"Mou~ it's the last 3 minutes. Do you think we can catch up, coach?" the manager of Touou Basketball club asked the man beside her. "There's a chance Momoi-san. Knowing Aomine-san won't let this last practice game to lose..." Kasunori Harasawa replied to her. "...and looks like Seirin has the same determination to win too." The coach added. Momoi smiled and nodded to her coach. "Well, I think this will be the last practice match for Aomine-kun, Tetsu-kun, and Kagamin in High School. That's why they're giving all they got." Kasunori smiled back to the manager. "Even though this is just a practice match. I'm glad with Aomine-san's growth. Thanks to that boyfriend of yours Momoi-san." The girl agreed happily to her coach but blushed after hearing her crush's name. "Coach? You know he's not really my boyfriend, right?" The man looked at her and smirked. "Yes Momoi-san. Don't worry I'm not that talkative." Momoi blushed and the man beside her laughed.
"35 seconds."
Touou - 101 / Seirin - 99
"I won't let you, Kagami." 18 seconds
"Who said you should stop me?" 9 seconds
'A quick pass!?'
"Who?!"
"It's all yours, Kuroko." 4 seconds
A three points with a buzzer beater.
Final score: Touou - 101 / Seirin - 102
A loud cheer from the crowd was heard. The two teams bowed to each other. This kind of match was Kuroko Tetsuya's kind of match he always wanted to play. A kind of game where everyone's playing because they LOVE basketball. This was one of the happiest day in his life. But everything will change when a teacher approached Seirin's coach and hand a note that was addressed to Kuroko Tetsuya. As soon as he read the note, He quickly took his bag and ran outside without saying a word. Three heads looked at each other with worry then, they ran after him.
Kagami and Aomine didn't got the chance to follow their friend. He was nowhere to be seen after he ran off. Now, the two is waiting in line in a fast food restaurant they usually eat. While their other friend, Momoi decided to go back to their school and looked for the teacher that handed the note.
"He's still not answering my calls." The red head said with sigh and looked at the screen on his phone.
*Kuroko Tetsuya - 21 missed calls*
"I wonder what happened to Tetsu." The blunet said with a hint of worry. "Aomine-kun! Kagamin!" the two looked to the direction of the voice. They saw their pink haired friend running towards them. "T-Tetsu-kun...His mother... He's in the hospital right now...b-but I don't know which one. T-the teacher that...gave Tetsu-kun the note l-left early today. So...I-I asked the other teachers a-and they told me what happened, they also didn't know the exact hospital where Tetsu-kun went!" She said stammering with her words while catching her breath. "Hey, Momoi... calm yourself. Tell us what happened later. Why don't you and Aomine look for a seat first?" Kagami said to the girl. Aomine looked at Kagami and nodded. "Right... you can order for us then. 20 cheeseburgers and a large drink for me. Milkshake again for you, Satsuki?" He said and looked at her. She nodded without saying a word. Aomine turned back to the red head. "Got it? Thanks! Lets go Satsuki." And he quickly went off with Momoi behind her.
"Wait, What!?"
*end flashback*
Momoi Satsuki haven't thought this place to be so crowded. Maji Burger, the fast food restaurant they usually go to was full of students from different schools in Tokyo. After a week of working non-stop, she finally got the time to rest for a day but seeing the people in the restaurant makes her want to regret her decision to eat there. She can't go out now that she's waiting in line for almost 20 minutes and there are only 2 people ahead from her. She sigh. Many things has really changed in Japan after her 5 years living in England, like the menu of the said fast food. But their usual favorites are still in the menu, like the cheeseburger and the milkshake. She remembered the first time she tasted the milkshake, Tetsuya treats her one time and she love it ever since. Remembering another memory with him makes her miss the light blue haired guy. "Good day Miss, What's your order for today?" the lady in the counter asked. "Milkshake, please...and cheeseburger."
Looking from side to side, the pink haired girl tried to search for a seat in the crowed restaurant. She was now halfway from walking around the room. "Momoi-san? Is that you?" the girl looked to the direction of the voice. "Kagamin?!" she walked towards him and smiled. "Can I seat with you?" The red head looked at her and nodded. "Yeah, sure."
"So, when did you came back?" he asked while munching a mouthful of burgers. "I arrived last week, but I still don't know how long will I stay though." she answered. "Hmm...I see. Does Kuroko know you're back?" he stared at her and waited for her reply. The asked girl blushed at the question. "I-I...honestly d-don't know. B-but the kiseki no sedai knew, perhaps they told him already?" she replied stammering, but she managed to laugh a little to hide it. "I see... Well, I haven't seen Kuroko for a year now. I heard he's been busy with his family and work. I still call him from time to time." he said and took another bite to his food.
"Excuse me, Kagami-san?" A girl came to his side and handed her a small notebook with a pen. "Can I have your autograph?" she added. Momoi looked at the girl then looked back at Kagami. He stared at the girl for a second and sigh. "I'm sorry, I don't do such things. Sorry." The girl made a sad face and went away she take a look back at Momoi and flick an eyebrow. The pink haired girl don't know what's happening. "That's mean, Kagamin! You should have give her a chance!" she said with a small shout. "That's nothing. If you've seen Kuroko handle his fans, you'll say he's the meanest." Momoi looked at him with wide eyed. "T-Tetsu-kun have fans too?"
"Yes. We attended the same school in college and he's the most popular guy in the basketball club."
"EH? Really?"
"The first few months with his fans attacking him was nothing. He'd just give them a smile. But one day, there's this girl that ask for his autograph or something and called him 'Tetsu-kun' then he got angry!" Momoi blushed as she realized something.
'Tetsu-kun?'
"Please stop calling me that. I don't want anyone calling me that way."
"I thought I saw black aura around him! The next day, all his fans were no where to be seen. But that never stopped them to like him. I think they liked him even more and doubled their numbers! From that day on, no one called him 'Tetsu-kun' ever again." Kagami laughed as the memories came flashing to his head and Momoi giggled. "Are you sure we're talking about Tetsu-kun? That doesn't sounds like him to me." The red head nodded to Momoi. "Believe me. Seeing it from my own eyes, I've never seen Kuroko that angry before." Then he continued his meal and was silent for a moment. He was about to take another bite when he realized something. "Wait. You're always calling him 'Tetsu-kun', right?" Kagami asked the startled girl in front of her that is now blushing uncontrollably. "Y-yes...W-Why?" she replied. The previous Seirin's power forward was astonished. He gave her a big grin and said. "I get it! You're the reason why he said that! Does that mean he's missing you? Hmm..." he teasingly asked Momoi. "Oh stop it Kaga-" before she could finish her sentence Kagami interrupted her.
"Is that...Akashi?" he pointed outside the glass window. Another red haired guy came out from a white car that parked across the street. Then he opened the back door and a girl with light blue haired girl came out. The two started to walk towards a sports store. "That's...Aya-chan!"
"Who?"
"Aya-chan's father is...A-Akashi-kun?!"
