INK: Hello again! No, this is not an new episode (though I swear there are more on the way!), but I've got some equally good news: We've decided to include an OMAKE CORNER !

EVERYONE: [monotone] Yaaaaay ...

INK: (Geez, sound a little more excited, guys...)

INK: A-A-hem, anyway! This will take place independent to the events of the main show, and where small questions will (hopefully) be answered by a few characters!

AOMINE: Isn't that just a spin-off? Aren't you just creating more work?

INK: It's all good! I'm going to work hard at-

AOMINE: I meant more work for us.

KUROKO: Aomine-kun, you're too blunt.

INK: [sob] You're dead-set on going against me, aren't you Aomine... Let's just get to the first question.

Here we go: OMAKE CORNER 1!

INK: OK, let's start with something simple... [flips through cards] This one:

"If you were to be stranded on a deserted, tropical island for two weeks, what is the one item you would keep with you, and why?"

AOMINE: Huh? What kind of question is that?

INK: [evil smile] Oh? You don't like that one? Then what about this one, asked by one of our viewers: "How did Aomine know about "that" kind of fan fiction?" Oh, it seems to be directed at you, Aomine-kun! Actually, now I'm curious myself, of how-

AOMINE: If I was stuck on an island, huh? Tch, I don't know... The new issue of Horikita Mai's magazine? Some'n to keep me from getting bored.

MOMOI: [whispering] Dai-chan! I don't think that's an appropriate answer...

KISE: Eh? Just a magazine?

AOMINE: Oi, it's not "just a magazine". And I especially don't want to hear that from you, pretty boy. Don't you carry around a photo book with your pictures everywhere?

KISE: Hey, I don't carry that everywhere-

KUROKO: I once saw you carrying two copies outside Maji Burger.

KISE: I-I was signing one for a fan! Besides, if I was stranded, I wouldn't want a photo book with me - that would be impractical!

INK: So what would you take, Kise-kun?

KISE: Plenty of fresh water, of course!

EVERYONE: Wo-oh! A proper answer for once.

KISE: For once, you say... [sob]

MIDORIMA: Staying in a tropical coastal climate, with high temperatures, dehydration is a serious issue. Consumption of salt water might in fact accelerate the process, as salt extracts moisture, and may even lead to death. In fact, fresh water is vital to surviving any hostile -

KISE: Eh? Is that so?

MIDORIMA: Kise, It's rude to interrupt someone when-

INK: What do you mean "is that so"?! Isn't that why you gave that answer?

KISE: Well, there's dehydration, sure, but more importantly, it's about your skin and hair. Sea water might have minerals that might exfoliate your skin, but too much exposure, added with the harsh tropical sunlight and sand, could dry out your skin. You should keep your skin moist from the inside, too, by drinking lots of water, and always use clean water to wash out dirt and salt out of your hair. Oh, and -

AOMINE: Oh, god, make him stop!

KAGAMI: He was starting to sound like Midorima for a moment there.

INK: W-wow... um... it seems you know quite a lot about... um... beauty culture?

KISE: Of course, I'm a model, aren't I? Plus, I don't get to talk about this stuff very much...

INK: Oh, my... Is it the worry of society's preconceptions of metro-sexual males?

KISE: What? Preconceptions? No no no, you don't get it: if I spend too much time talking (about anything, actually), Kasamatsu-senpai might drop-kick me! This is a rare chance! Ne, Host-san, do you want to know what you can do if you find coconuts on the island?

INK: What, coconuts? Um, m-maybe another time, we still have to hear...uh, Midorima! Yeah, Midorima-san, what's your answer? What item would you have with you if you were stuck on an island?

MIDORIMA: Hmph.

INK: Wha? Was I just snubbed?

KUROKO: I think Midorima-kun is showing his displeasure at being interrupted earlier.

INK: Oh. Whoops, my apologies. We can come back to you for a response later if you like.

MIDORIMA: What I will have with me on the island-

INK: ...or we can do it now.

MIDORIMA: -cannot be limited to one item.

INK: No? Why not?

KISE: It has something to do with your "lucky items", doesn't it?

MIDORIMA: It has almost everything to do with my lucky items.

INK: Wait, what good would such a thing be as a tool of survival?

EVERYONE ELSE: [groan] 'Did you really have to ask that?'

MIDORIMA: [adjusts glasses] To ensure my luck. Of course, I will do everything in my power to endure, but in unpredictable circumstances, would it not be wisest to ensure that luck is on your side as well?

INK: Oh. And here I was thinking you might luck out and will have keep a month's supply of energy bars with you or something.

MIDORIMA: My ability to 'luck out' will nonetheless depend on my attention to lucky items and what not.

INK: Uwah, I'm sorry I asked... But a lucky item for a day is indeterminable, and the question asks for only item...

MIDORIMA: Precisely my inability to answer such a ridiculous question.

INK: 'Well, that was all for nothing...' Haha, right, well, thanks anyway...

MIDORIMA: I should also add that my chances of getting into a situation as inconceivable as that stated are extremely low, for-

INK: Yes, your luck is nearly always guaranteed, right?

MIDORIMA: ...

INK: Wah! He's glaring again.

KUROKO: That's because you interrupted him again.

INK: Gah, geez, sorry! A-anyway, what about you, Kuroko-kun? A must-have item if you're deserted...?

KUROKO: I'm not sure I could narrow it down to one item. There are many emergencies that could arise.

INK: Pretend it wasn't a life-or-death situation: could you think of something you might like to have with you?

KUROKO: Even if the situation wasn't dire, there is no predicting the outcome, much like what Midorima-san said. Just when you think you're safe, a cyclone might come and level everything.

KISE: Kurokocchi! That's too dark!

KUROKO: But aren't cyclones common in tropical climates during this time of the year?

KISE: I meant about you agreeing with Midorimacchi!

AOMINE: [laughs] Good one.

KUROKO: But if I were to chose, there us a novel I'm interested in, so I could spend time reading that.

INK: Wow that's quite a... normal answer. Thank you, though! Let's hear from Momoi-san: what would you want with you?

MOMOI: Tetsu-kun~! [glomps Kuroko]

EVERYBODY ELSE: 'Why are we not surprised...'

INK: I'm not sure if Kuroko qualifies as a "thing", but I'll give you that. Next is Murasakibara-kun! You must have a plan on what to do on a tropical island, right? Maybe cook up some exotic specialties?

MURASAKIBARA: Bwah wa wahg doh-

MIDORIMA: Don't talk with your mouth full.

MURASAKIBARA: [swallows] ...Not taking Midorin, that's for sure. As for tropical food... coconuts?... Mangoes...? There's this place in Ginza that has good mango Ice cream... Should go there one day...

INK: Er- thanks for the tip. But could you tell us something else you'd like to have with you, hopefully something not food?

MURASAKIBARA: I don't like when it's hot. Everything gets sticky, and ice cream melts too fast... One of those portable fans..? But they're too tiny and you need to hold them up for a long time... [mumbles incoherently]

INK:We...will come back to you on that... Who's left? Kagami, car to give us your answer?

KAGAMI: Ahhh... I don't know either. my first answer would be food, but if wasn't life-or-death... Hm, a basketball maybe?

MIDORIMA: It's a tie between food and basketball?

KUROKO: How very much like Kagami-kun.

KAGAMI: Yeah, well...

AOMINE: So what, you're gonna play basketball alone until someone comes to save your sorry ass?

KAGAMI: Hey, at least I won't be lazing around, reading some sleazy magazine!

AOMINE: Oi oi oi! Don't just diss Mai-chan! They are not sleazy!

KAGAMI & MOMOI: Suuure they're not.

KAGAMI: Anyway, I can still practice BB on my own. On an island? That's just beach training. At the end of it, I'd be ready to kick your ass, Ahomine!

AOMINE: Heh, so you're saying you need two weeks of special training to beat me?

KAGAMI: I'm saying there won't be a doubt of my winning.

AOMINE: Heh. Oi, host! I'm changing my answer!

INK: Um... ok... What would you going to take with you?

AOMINE: I'm taking Kagami.

EVERYONE ELSE: Eh?

AOMINE: He's bringing a B-ball, right? We'll play one-on-one as many times as you like, Bakagami. [standing off against Kagami] You really think you're gonna win?

KAGAMI: Oh, I know it!

KUROKO: Looks like they're getting ready to face off right now.

MIDORIMA: Hmph. So immature..

KISE: That's unfair, you guys! We wanna play, too!

MIDORIMA: Please exclude me from that group.

MURASAKIBARA: Me too. [munching on who-knows-what]

KUROKO: Kise-kun... hugging to tight... cannot.. breathe...

MOMOI & KISE: Tetsu-kun/ Kurokocchi!

[Ruckus ensues]

INK: Well, I guess there's where we end the question! Let us know what you thought about it and if you would like to see another! Also feel free to put forward questions; who knows, it could be next time's theme!

|[O]|[O]|[O]|

Thanks again to all those following this story! I have not abandoned it; in fact I think about it more than I should, it's almost scary! xD

A special thanks to fullmoonlonewolf for their question, "How did Aomine know? Is he a fan of fanfiction?"
I think we're all curious, but that guy weaselled out of telling. We'll trying and get it out another time! Buwahaha!
