Chapter 7: A bad habit

Hanasaki Estate (Tokyo)

It's been a few weeks since their meeting and it was a peaceful morning except...

The Generation of Miracles, Kuroko and Kagami had arrived at the mansion Sakuya called their "Training Estate".

"Welcome to our humble home!"

"Takao!? Why are you here?"

Midorima really hadn't anticipated to see his boyfriend.

"Ahh. I see. You arrived. Quit yelling! It's ten in the morning!"

"Hai…", said Midorima.

Takao was grinning. Sakuya told them to follow her and they did, along with their luggage.

"Okay. First of all, Sa-chan and Riko volunteered to cook, so they'll be in charge of the kitchen. Takao-kun will be the one to make sure nothing gets destroyed and will be my assistant. He… Why are you all looking like that?"

Sakuya looked at the seven boys, who looked like as if they had seen a ghost, completely terrified.

"Ehm… Sakuya, can I talk to you in a more… quiet place?", Kagami asked.

"Sure."

Sakuya and Kagami went into a neighbouring room, leaving Takao and the rest.

"Hai, hai! Now unpack! I'll show you your rooms! Follow me, please!"

Takao went upstairs and showed them their rooms.

Each room was good for two.

After a while Kagami came upstairs too.

"Nee, Kagami-kun? What will Hanasaki-san do about Momoi-san and coach's cooking?", Kuroko asked, who shared his room with Kagami.

"She's teaching them now. We should finish unpacking and go downstairs, she said.", Kagami replied.

"I see. I'll tell the others. I finished unpacking."

Kuroko stood up.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

Kitchen (Hanasaki Estate)

"That's good, Riko. Keep it up! You, too, Sa-chan! Keep stirring!"

Sakuya said. The two girls learned quite fast.

Riko was currently washing the rice and Momoi was stirring the soup.

"Hanasaki, we finished!", Aomine's voice sounded bored.

"Prepare the table and sit down! Soup is nearly finished!"

"Okay!"

Dining room (Hanasaki Estate)

"Murasakibara, Kagami, help me get the dishes!", Aomine said.

The three went to the kitchen.

"Midorima-cchi, Takao-cchi! Stop kissing, we'll get cavities! It's waaaay too sweet!"

Midorima and Takao were on the couch, kissing.

They both sighed and stood up.

Aomine, Muraskibara and Kagami brought the dishes and they laid it out.

Sitting down, Kise leaned over to Murasakibara and asked:

"Is Momo-cchi really cooking? And Seirin's coach too?"

"Hai, Sa-chin is chopping vegetables and meat. Seirin's female coach is pouring soup in bowls~"

Then Riko came out. She put three tiny pills in front of everyone.

"Eat up!"

The boys were surprised, but did so.

"Eeh, so biiiiitter-ssu!"

"Just eat! I could've put this into your food, you know!?"

"That's right, coach. Why didn't you put it in the rice like last time?"

"Sakuya gave me a huge lecture!"

Riko pouted. Kagami just sweat-dropped at the thought.

"Listen Riko. I know, you just want them to get enough vitamins etc., but these supplies ruin the taste of your food and can cause stomach flus depending on what you put in them. It would be the opposite of what you actually want, right?", Sakuya said.

"You can give them these before they eat. If they don't just tell them that they won't get any food till they drink it or threaten Kagami and Kuroko stating you could've put it in the food. I'm sure, those two wouldn't want to taste that flavour again."

Sakuya chuckled lightly.

Riko nodded and went out.

"Okay, here is the soup. Eat up and you'll get the rest of the stuff.", exclaimed Sakuya, while the three girls put the soup-filled bowls in front of the boys.

It was simply a seaweed soup, but Akashi just stared at it.

The others had begun to eat and were quite surprised.

'It-it is edible…!'

Akashi just stared at the soup and and the blackish seaweed in it.

"I will not eat this."

Akashi stood up and wanted to go to the kitchen, but Sakuya stood in his way.

"You will eat the soup."

"I will not."

Akashi was almost pouting like a little child.

Kise just thought: 'So cuuuute! Akashi-cchi can be like that, too!'

Sakuya on the other hand wasn't happy at all.

She pulled Akashi by his hand into the kitchen.

"You do know that I know something you probably wouldn't want the others to know~", Sakuya whispered and Akashi suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"You love Kise-kun, right? What if he doesn't like gays~?"

Akashi looked honestly shocked.

Sakuya let out a little giggle.

"I wouldn't spill your secret if you go and eat up~"

Akashi nodded.

"But I will if you don't~"

Akashi hurried to his seat. Sakuya just laughed slightly.

Hanasaki Estate's gym (After lunch)

"Okay, everyone is here! Gather here please!"

Everyone gathered around Sakuya, who had a few coloured notebooks in her hands.

"Here are your trainings menu and stuff. Everyone has one notebook. It's for this week only. You'll get another one next week and so on. Kuroko will be on special training this week. The training camp is two months long, so everyone will receive the special training. Riko and Sa-chan will overlook your practice. That's all! Start!"

"Hai!"

The boys got their notebooks and read through them.

"Ohha-ssu… So detailed…"

Outside courts (Kuroko and Sakuya)

"Kuroko-kun, I think you know your little problem, right?"

"Yes, coach."

"Sakuya's fine."

Kuroko nodded.

"Fine, your trainings focus will be power-up and shooting. We'll start with shooting. Show me how you shoot."

"Hai."

Kuroko took the stance, shot the ball and missed.

Sakuya just told him to do it again and again, he missed.

"I see, that is your problem…", she mumbled.

Kuroko turned his head to her, having heard her mumble.

"Let's see… No choice, but to use that technique, I guess...", Sakuya mumbled again.

Kuroko looked at her questioning.

"Kuroko-kun, listen. We'll do it from scratch again. Now look I'll show you the 'normal' stance and yours."

Sakuya did as she said and Kuroko noticed that his was slightly different and less balanced.

"Now come here. I'll show you how to do the 'normal' stance."

Sakuya gave Kuroko a ball and stepped behind him.

It was a bit weird since Kuroko was good 4 cm taller than her, but he somehow felt extremely secure and picked up pretty fast, what she was telling and showing him.

Sakuya also showed him the basic shooting motion and then told him:

"Now, close your eyes and listen to my voice only."

Kuroko did as he was told.

"Slowly bring the ball up like I showed you; Push the ball upwards using a flick of your wrist; Imagine how it rolls off your fingers slowly into the hoop."

While saying, Sakuya was showing him how to do everything. After a few times of showing, Sakuya told him to do it on his own.

"You now know the feeling of how the ball should do. Remember that feeling and open your eyes. Focus on the hoop only. Ignore everything else."

Kuroko tried and the ball went it smoothly. A smile slowly spread across his face.

"Do another 9 shots. Let's see how much accuracy you have."

Kuroko nodded and took the stance. He made another eight baskets, but missed the last one.

"Don't worry. You need to boost your stamina up. That's normal for someone who's not used to the stance."

Kuroko nodded at Sakuya again.

"EHEEEEEEEEEE?"

Both turned at saw Takao standing with his mouth wide open.

"What did ya do, Sakuya?"

Sakuya just chuckled.

"Kuroko-san, please continue your practice. I'll tell this idiot what I did in the meantime."

"Hai."

Sakuya and Takao went a bit away from the court to not disturb Kuroko.

"So, what did ya do?"

"Well, it's actually quite simple. Kuroko-san here has a bad habit. He focuses only on his opponent's movements. He has a hard time focusing on the ball, because in order to use Misdirection you need to watch your opponent's movements… If we enhance his physical abilities, he should be at least as good as Akashi-san in terms of standard stuff… Besides, his physical presence is still weak. Only his sports presence – also known as 'Aura' – has increased… He should be useful even if he only uses standard moves and passes here and there… The attention on him from that Winter Cup should be as good as gone… His Aura will weaken again at the international scene…"

"I see… Wow, you sure are as observant as ever."

"Of course!"

Takao chuckled. It felt good to be talking to Sakuya so casually. The chest pain he felt when he saw Kuroko and Sakuya so close to one another were gone.

For everyone who made it here, I congratulate you to being able to stand such a bad fic...

I finished writing Arc 1, so expect quicker updates ;)

Please tell me if you spotted a mistake... Or if you've got a tip for me to improve...
