Dear Diary-kun,

Okaasan took me to school early today. Kise-kun, Midorima-kun, and Murasakibara-kun aren't here yet. Okaasan said she has to finish work early today and Otousan went to work last night too. It's a good thing Nigou is with me. Okaasan and Otousan were very happy to meet him. He'll stay with me until the others will come.

"Don't worry Mrs. Kuroko, I'll let him play with Dai-chan while we wait for the other students. Take care!" Momoi said as she lifted Kuroko from the ground and hugged him. Kuroko's mother gave her little Tetchan a kiss on the cheek before going to her car. Kuroko waved goodbye and also let his stuffed dog wave at her too. Momoi felt very giddy having to carry her cute little student.

'Uwaaa Tetsu-kun, you're soooo cute! Haaa..if only you were older…' Momoi thought, sighing dreamily. Kuroko held Nigou close to him as they are being carried to the playground. Momoi sat Kuroko on the bench near the mini-garden.

"Now, Tetsu-kun, I'll just leave you here for a bit okay? I'll have to fix the playroom and classroom before classes start. Be a good boy and don't go too far okay?" Momoi instructed. She patted his head before going back inside. Kuroko looked at Nigou and thought about what they can do to pass the time. As he was thinking, he heard loud thumping noises coming from behind the swings. Kuroko placed Nigou on top of his head as he tried to look over the swings. There he saw an orange ball bouncing behind it.

'Neh Nigou…what is that? That big round orange thing….' Kuroko whispered to his dog plush. Kuroko walked towards the swings and took a closer look. He found a dark haired boy bouncing the big orange ball with a huge grin on his face. The boy threw the ball to the ground with great force that it bounced higher his own height. The ball flew very high and landed among the branches of the small tree in the mini-garden. The tanned boy looked up and reached out his arms, expecting the ball to come back to him but he noticed his ball was gone.

"Waaaa! My ball! Where'd it go!?" The boy shouted as he scratched his head. Kuroko saw the orange ball, stuck in between the branches of the small tree.

"Ano…it's up there." Kuroko told him. But the boy was too busy looking behind the bushes that he did not hear him. Kuroko sighed and walked closer to him. He gave him a light pat on the shoulder. The dark haired boy jumped from the contact.

"UWAAA! Who's there?!" the dark haired boy shouted as he clutched his chest. He got startled at the sudden tap. Kuroko waved Nigou's paw in front of him.

"Oh…it's just a dog." The boy said as he sighed in relief.

"Um…I'm over here." Kuroko said in a disappointed tone. "Nigou…tell him I'm here."

The tanned boy flinched as he heard Kuroko's soft voice. He then looked at the dog plush closely and his sight focused on the owner of the plush. His eyes went wide as he looked at Kuroko's sky blue orbs.

"Whoaaaah! The ghost kid!" the boy shouted as he pointed at him. Kuroko frowned at the name.

"I'm not a ghost…I'm Kuroko Tetsuya. I was here the whole time…" Kuroko said as he placed Nigou on his head. The tanned boy looked at him once again and placed his hand on Kuroko's cheek. He stretched both Kuroko's cheeks before giving a huge grin.

"Oooh! So you're not a ghost after all! Man you look so white…and your hair is like the sky! Are you a girl?" the tanned boy asked. Kuroko rubbed his cheeks. 'That was painful…'

"No…I'm not. That's just mean…" Kuroko said in a plain voice. The tanned haired boy just laughed and patted Kuroko's back.

"Well, I'm Aomine Daiki! Hmm…Tetsuya…I'll call you Tetsu!" Daiki proclaimed as he shook Kuroko's hand vigorously. Kuroko held Nigou in place as he shook hands with his new friend.

"Hey, Tetsu, have you seen my basketball?" Aomine asked. Kuroko tilted his head to the side.

"What's…a basketball?" he asked. Aomine's eyes grew wide.

"What?! You don't know what a basketball is?! It's only the bestest toy ever! Man, I feel sorry for you." Aomine said smugly. "It's big and round and orange. It's the thing I use to play with. It goes boing, boing, boing!" Kuroko held his chin thoughtfully. He did see Aomine play with it awhile ago.

"It's up there." Kuroko said as he pointed towards the small tree in the mini-garden. Aomine ran towards the tree and looked up. He squinted his eyes to get a better view.

"Aw man…it's stuck up there! I'll try to climb and get it." Aomine spat on his hands and rubbed them. He then attempted to climb the small tree. But because his hands were wet, he slid down before he could climb half of it.

"This sucks! Now I'll never be able to get my ball back…" Aomine whined as he began to tear up. Kuroko thought of a way to get the ball down. He saw pebbles around the mini-garden. He thought long and hard and then, an idea came to him.

"Aomine-kun, hold Nigou for me." Kuroko told him as he ran to get a few pebbles. Aomine held the plush in his hands. He was curious of what the bluenette will do with all those pebbles.

"Aomine-kun, stand far away from the tree please." Kuroko instructed. Aomine nodded and went behind him. Kuroko began throwing the pebbles towards the small tree. He was aiming right below the ball.

"Woooah! Go, go, go Tetsu! You can do it!" Aomine cheered. Kuroko kept on throwing the pebbles but it would fall on the ground before it could hit the ball. Kuroko frowned and huffed, but he tried his best in throwing the pebbles with all his strength. Aomine looked at how his new friend worked so hard to get his beloved ball. He wanted to help too, so he left Nigou on the ground and ran beside Kuroko.

"Hey, Tetsu, let me have a try." Aomine offered. Kuroko nodded and gave him the remaining pebbles. Kuroko went under the branches where the ball was.

"Aomine-kun, try to hit the ball over here." He instructed as he pointed at the ball. Aomine nodded. He collected all his strength and was fired up. He then threw the pebbles straight at the ball. To Kuroko's amazement, the one pebble hit the ball on Aomine's first try and it rolled down the branches.

"Alright!" Aomine cheered. Kuroko clapped his hands. But before he could go and congratulate his friend, the ball fell squarely on top of his head. Kuroko fell to the ground after he was hit. Realizing that his friend got hurt, Aomine rushed towards him. Fear and worry was etched on his face.

"Tetsuuuu! Tetsu! Are you okay!?" Aomine shouted frantically. Kuroko felt really dizzy and his vision was getting blurry. Aomine shouted for help as he held his friend in his arms. Momoi was inside the classroom fixing the chairs when she heard a loud shout outside. Momoi heard Aomine's plea for help and rushed beside them.

"Oh my, Tetsu-kun! What happened here Dai-chan?!" Momoi asked worriedly as she held Kuroko in her arms. Aomine couldn't believe what had happened and was in shock. He cried loudly instead. Momoi tried to comfort him.

"Don't cry Dai-chan. We'll just bring Tetsu-kun to the clinic." She said in a soft assuring voice. Momoi held Aomine's hand and they quickly ran to the school clinic. Momoi was relieved to see the school doctor was in. After examining Kuroko's bump on the head, the doctor told her that he needed to put ice on his bruise and that Kuroko just needs to rest in the clinic for awhile. Momoi wanted to stay beside her pupil but she had other children to take care of as well.

"Please tell me he'll be alright doctor…" she pleaded. The doctor held her hand and gave her a reassuring pat.

"Don't worry Momoi-san, he'll be alright. I'll watch over him. You still have class to do." The doctor said in a gentle voice. Aomine stood beside the bed as the doctor placed a small ice pack on Kuroko's head. He felt bad and also felt guilty that his friend was in such a state. 'I should have saved him! If only…if only I…' Aomine began to cry again. The doctor patted his head to comfort him.

"Don't cry, Aomine-kun. He'll be fine. I'll make sure he feels better. Don't worry, you should go to class." The doctor told him. Momoi offered her hand to him but Aomine refuses to come with her.

"C'mon now Dai-chan! We still have class to do! Kiyoshi-sensei will take care of Tetsu-kun. We can visit him again in recess." Momoi reasoned. Aomine shook his head stubbornly. He wanted to be beside his friend.

"Just leave me alone old hag! I want to be with Tetsu! It's my fault he got hurt!" Aomine shouted, sniffling in between his sobs. Momoi twitched when Aomine called her an 'old hag'. The doctor noticed this and tried to handle the situation in a peaceful manner.

"Momoi-san, will it be alright to just leave Aomine-kun here for awhile? I know he wanted to stay with his friend. I think he'd want to apologize to Kuroko-kun when he wakes up." Kiyoshi suggested. Momoi thought for a moment and looked at Aomine. Even though she wanted him to go to class, she couldn't say no to those pleading azure orbs. She gave a small sigh.

"Well…alright. But after recess, he should be back in class. Please watch after them Kiyoshi-sensei." Momoi said as she patted Aomine. She gave a small kiss on Kuroko's head before leaving them. Kiyoshi patted the tanned boy's head and continued to examine Kuroko. Aomine held Kuroko's hand all the while.

Diary-kun, I do not remember what happened that day. I just woke up in the middle of a white room with Aomine-kun holding my hand. My head hurts a bit but I felt okay. A doctor named Kiyoshi-san told me I was asleep when they brought me here. He told me I hit my head…I don't remember what had hit me though. Aomine-kun began to hug me very tightly when he woke up. It seems he slept beside me when I was out. I asked if he got his ball back and he just cried louder.

Diary-kun, I made a new friend today. Aomine-kun told me he would teach me how to catch a basketball when I get better. It feels nice to have made another new friend.

Kuroko Tetsuya

A/N: And that's how Tetchan met Dai-chan met...I know it's kind of sad to see Kuroko get hurt, but he's okay! I made Kiyoshi the school doctor...because...just because. And now that Kuroko made friends with 4 of the Generation of Miracles, I think it's time he gets acquainted with his red head, scissor holding, seatmate. As always, please read and review. Thank you. :D
