Day 1: Part 2

"This is bad, Kuroko." Kagami said, face pale. He had just gotten off the phone with Alex. "It seems your kid disappeared."

Kuroko's eyes widened, "Where did she last see him?" He said moving to the door quickly.

Akashi will kill me…no worse if Minori's mother finds out…We've got to find him fast. Kuroko thought to himself, staring at Kagami intently as he waited for the needed information. They were in the locker room with several others changing for practice. The other club members started to grow curious as they noticed Kuroko's panicked expression.

"At some bar near _ Park." Kagami said recalling the conversation.

Kuroko flew out of the door, leaving Kagami to explain the situation with his teammates.

Minori sighed and looked to Number 2, "Do you really know the way?" He asked then looked at the surrounding street. There were several students about now, however Minori couldn't really recall what Kuroko's school uniform looked like.

Number 2 yipped and went forward, causing Minori to puff out his cheeks.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Minori stated but followed. A few girls passing by chuckled as they had witnessed the short conversation Minori had with the dog.

A few minutes passed and 2 looked up and barked, Minori also looked up to see large boy plowing by. He had a stern expression that was kind of scary, and red hair and matching eyes. Minori picked up Number 2.

"We better get out of the way 2, it'd be dangers to stay in the path of a scary monster." He said struggling to hold the dog and walk to the side. Looking more closely Minori spotted Kuroko close behind the red haired 'monster', "Look 2 you were right! There is Suya-nii."

Kuroko quickly spotted the boy and puppy, and pointed it out to Kagami. Completely forgetting about all surroundings Minori started forward towards the two running teens. However, holding onto Number 2 caused Minori to trip and fall forward flat on his face.

Kuroko reached the boy and helped Minori up to his feet, Number 2 looked up with a expression that read 'he's your problem now'.

"Suya-nii," Minori said looking up at Kagami, "There's a monster there…"

"Who are you calling a monster, twerp? You damn brat! You shouldn't go running about!" Kagami shouted, his anger suddenly bursting. He quieted as he noticed the stares of surrounding people, and Minori's expression drop. "Ah…eh…don't cry!" He said unsure of what to do.

Tears were at the edge of Minori's eyes, and he was frowning. He looked to Kuroko. "I wasn't good?" He asked.

Kuroko sighed and shook his head, "No, Minori, that wasn't being good."

"I'm going to call off the others…" Kagami grumbled stepping to the side, doing his best not to make the situation worse.

"Oh…but 2 was taking me to you…am I going to be punished?" Minori asked still fighting back threatening tears.

Kuroko lifted the small boy in his arms, "Punishment?"

Minori held on tightly to Kuroko's shirt and nodded his head once, "Sei-kun is always sure to punish the bad…so you…don't do it again."

"I think the one who's at fault is Alex…" Kagami muttered as they headed towards Seirin.

"My knees hurt now…" Minori commented resting his head against Kuroko's chest.

"You deserve it you brat." Kagami continued to grumble, Kuroko kicked the back of Kagami's leg almost causing Kagami's leg to buckle. "What do you think you're doing?" He quickly snapped.

Minori looked at Kagami glaring, "You deserve it."

Kagami stopped himself from hitting the child. "Everyone's heading back to the gym, well except for Alex, she's heading back to get her things and then home…" Kagami informed glancing from his cell phone to the surrounding street. Number 2 followed at his heels, and he did his best to ignore the animal.

Minori held back a yawn as they neared the high school, he hadn't napped at all and he had finally become comfortable now that he was around someone he knew.

Minori stared at the team as they watched Kuroko attend to Minori's scrapped knees. The crowd didn't seem to know how to properly react to seeing Kuroko with Minori. Minori had one hand on Number 2's head the dog was doing his best to get some sleep. 2 seemed extra tired after walking around with Minori.

"So does anyone know why Kuroko is looking after a kid?" Aida whispered to her team.

Everyone shook their head in reply.

"That hurts." Minori claimed looking from the group to his knees; Kuroko was putting on some Band-Aids.

Kuroko kissed Minori's forehead, "Does that make it feel better?" he asked, the basketball club looked too stunned for words now.

"Yeah," Minori said and after a couple of seconds, "Actually it still hurts…I don't think kisses actually help."

Kuroko patted Minori's head, "I have to practice now. So do you think you can wait with 2?"

Minori nodded his head, and yawned, "Yeah, I won't be bad no more."

Kuroko gave Minori a small smile then turned to his team.

Kuroko took his cell phone out to take the picture of Minori cuddling with Number 2, they both were sleeping. He was already dressed and ready to go home. He first sent the picture to Akashi, with a short message 'how do you expect the others to juggle school and him?'.

A message instantly came afterwards just as Kuroko was about to pick up Minori and start for home.

Skipping one day of school shouldn't be a problem. Akashi's message read Kuroko stuffed his phone into his pocket and managed to pick up Minori. Number 2 blinked at him, waiting to join Kuroko and be carried. Kuroko managed to zip his sports bag open.

"Go on." He said and watched the dog hop in the bag, making it heavier.

"You should wake the brat and make him walk." Kagami said joining Kuroko.

"That's why you aren't good with children." Kuroko commented in his usual indifferent tone that managed to annoy Kagami more than what he had said.
