A/N: I'm sorry for the delay of this chapter. I was in a place where there's no internet. I hope you all will enjoy this new chapter. :D

Dear Diary-kun,

It's Saturday. I'm glad to hear that that my parents are having their rest day today. It would be nice if we went out today. I want to take a walk with Nigou at the park. When I told Okaasan about it, I was so happy to hear that they want to go too.

Kuroko silently sat on his chair, pouting. As much as he wanted to go outside, he felt that if he did…

"Uwaaaaah~ Tetchan! You look so adorable!" Kuroko's mother squealed as she hugged her little boy tightly. She was very delighted to see her little Tetchan wear the light blue frilly dress she designed. Letting go of her little boy, she looked at him from top to bottom, sparkles flying around her. Kuroko had his sky blue locks tied in a light blue ribbon with small buttons that look like blueberries. His mother continued to squeal and dote on him.

"Tetchan! Wait here, I'll go get the camera!" she said as she rushed towards her room. Kuroko held his beloved dog plush close to his chest. He felt very embarrassed and self-conscious. Who wouldn't be if you're being dressed up as the opposite gender? He couldn't get mad at his mother for dressing him like that for she has been dressing him in frilly and girly clothes ever since he was 3.

"Nigou…I don't look like a girl…right?" he asked his stuffed dog with a serious face. Just then, his father came in, toast hanging from his mouth, a coffee mug on his hand and newspaper on the other. When he took his seat on the couch, he was surprised to see his Tetchan in a dress.

"Honey, who is this cute little lady in our living room? Is she Tetchan's friend?" he shouted as he looked at him. Kuroko sighed. 'Here we go again…'

"Darling, that's Tetchan! How could you mistake him for someone else?" Kuroko's mother answered as she walked to wards him with a camera on her hand.

"What?! Tetsuya?! Honey, why do you always have to let him wear these kinds of clothes whenever we go out?" Kuroko's father asked as he scratched his head. Although he does admit, Kuroko looked pretty much like a very cute girl in his outfit.

"But Darling…doesn't he look so adorable?" She said as she picked up Kuroko and showed him to his father. Kuroko hid his face by holding Nigou up.

"Honey…young boys should wear boy clothes…" He told her. His wife began to pout and looked at him with her big blue eyes, making him feel a bit guilty. "A-ah…but Tetchan looks really cute in that too." He told her as he sweat dropped. 'Sorry Tetsuya!'

"Otousan…" Kuroko said quietly as he rubbed his face against Nigou's fur. He was very embarrassed right now. His mother began to hug him and is squealing in joy.

"Alright, let's go to the park!" His mother announced. Kuroko made a deep sigh and his father just patted him on the head, comforting his blushing little boy.

The park is a very large place. There are children running and rolling around the soft grass. Some of them are sailing their boats on the mini-lake. The sky is clear and the morning breeze is cool and fresh. Kuroko enjoyed the feel of the cool breeze on his face and the warm hands that held his as he walked around the park with his parents. His beloved Nigou was sitting on top of his head as usual. They walked around for a few minutes before sitting down on a nearby park bench.

"Tetchan, would you like to eat ice cream?" his father asked as he dug around his pockets for change. Kuroko's eyes brightened at the mention of the cool treat. His father chuckled a bit. "Alright then. Honey, I'll go buy us some ice cream."

"You know what my favorite is." Kuroko's mother said as she fixed Kuroko's hair. Kuroko leaned in to his mother's gentle hands as she gently combed his hair.

"Of course! It's my favorite flavor too." With that, Kuroko's father went to buy ice cream. Kuroko felt a vibrating sensation as he was lying on his mother's lap.

"'Kaasan…your leg feels funny…" he told her as he pointed at the source of the vibration.

"Oh! It's a phone call. I'm going to take this okay, Tetchan? You can go and play near the lake. I'll watch you from here and wait for your 'Tousan while I answer my phone." She told him. Kuroko nodded and plopped down from the bench. He looked behind him to see his mother wave at him. He walked until the mini-lake and sat down on the soft grass.

Not far from where he was, a red headed boy with fierce facial features was walking with a tall dark haired boy along the park path. They were talking about the new school the red head would go to.

"Taiga, I've seen Teikou Kindergarten. It looks like a nice place." The dark haired male told his companion.

"Argh…but I miss going to my other school back in the States! Why do we have to transfer in…Ja..Japon?!" the red head replied in an irritated voice.

"It's Japan, Taiga. Papa told us we'd be staying here since he has work waiting for him here. And besides, it would be nice to make new friends in Japan." The dark haired teen told him. "I want to try eating green tea ice cream and those things they call 'mocchi'." He told him as he tried to imagine the delicious food. His companion just gave a growl of annoyance. He did not want to leave his friends behind in the States but they didn't really have a choice. Everything is new to him: the sounds, the feel, the environment. He felt like he didn't belong in such a place.

"Hey, Taiga, want me to buy you ice cream? I see an ice cream stand over there." The dark haired teen suggested.

"Sure why not. As long as you pay for it." The red head answered. Ice cream might cool his head a bit.

"Alright then. Why don't you go over there while I go buy ice cream? Go relax near that mini-lake." The black haired teen told him. The red head didn't want to be separated from him but if it's for ice cream…

"Alright. Just don't take long Tatsuya!" he shouted as he ran towards the lake. The black haired teen smiled as he walked towards the ice cream stand.

Kuroko was lying on the grass, enjoying the feel of it. Nigou was placed beside him. The warm rays of the sun felt good on his cool face. As he was lying on the ground, three big boys came up beside him and snatched his dog plush. Kuroko was startled at the sudden disappearance of his beloved Nigou. He looked around and found the three boys pulling at the plush's ears and tail. Angry, he went up to them.

"Excuse me…that dog is mine." He told them in a serious voice. The three boys looked at him. The tallest of the three gave him a malicious smile.

"Oh? I don't see your name here, girly. I think I'll take him with me." He told him as he checked the plush around for a name tag. Kuroko's brow twitched at the boy's words.

"Nigou is not yours. It is not nice to take things that don't belong to you." He told them in a much darker tone. The three boys just laughed at him. The biggest boy in their group walked up to him and gave him a shove. Kuroko fell on his rear on the soft grass. It's a good thing there aren't any sharp pebbles or stones.

"Don't tell us what to do, girly. Want me to make you cry? I told you we'll be keeping this dog since we found him first." The thinnest of the three boys coaxed. Kuroko felt the pang of tears threatening to fall from his large blue eyes. He is trying his best to hold up his poker face in front of the bullies. He knows he can't fight them since his parents told him that violence was never the answer and that his small body can't match with theirs. He wanted to shout for help from his parents but he saw his mother still talking on the phone with her back facing him and his father was still in the line of those buying ice cream. 'How…will I save Nigou…?'

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!" A red head boy shouted as he stomped his way towards the three boys. The boys looked at him with a menacing glare. Kuroko looked at the red headed boy. He was a bit surprised to find someone who would help him; one so tall in fact.

"Hah?! And who are you, you freak?" the stout one from the boys challenged as he stepped near the red head. The red head's brow visibly twitched in irritation.

"Who you callin' a freak, fatty?! It ain't nice to bully girls and you know it!" the red head growled as he poked the chubby kid's belly. The stout boy backed away from him and looked like he was going to burst into tears. The tallest of the three noticed this and angrily shoved the red head.

"Hey! No one talks to my brother like that except me!" he roared. The red head just snorted and folded his arms.

"If you're his big brother, you should know that bullying girls is mean. You guys better get out of here or else I'm going to bite you." The red head said in an angry and terrifying tone. The three boys backed away from him and scrambled away.

"Yeah that's right, run away ya bunch of chickens!" the red head shouted and he laughed triumphantly. Kuroko looked at him as he held his beloved plush. He was glad to have Nigou back safe and sound. The red head looked at him and sheepishly scratched his head.

"Hey…uh…are you okay?" he asked as he circled him, looking for any bruises. Kuroko shook his head. "That's good. Those jerks shouldn't bully girls." The red head said as he sat beside Kuroko.

"But I'm not-"

"I'm Kagami Taiga. I just came from the USA." The red head interrupted as he scratched his nose. "And you are?"

"Kuroko Tet-"

"Tetchan! We got the ice cream! Hurry and eat it before it'll melt!" Kuroko's mother shouted as she waved to him. Kuroko sighed; he felt a bit disappointed that he was interrupted for a second time. He made a small bow to his new friend.

"Thank you for helping me today, Kagami-kun." He told him in a quiet but sincere voice. Kagami froze in place and suddenly felt very bashful. He scratched his head and gave Kuroko a sheepish grin. Kuroko waved goodbye as he ran towards his parents. Not long after, his companion came back with their ice cream. Kagami licked his ice cream while thinking about the mysterious girl he saved. His face began to flush pink when he recalled the way the girl said his name in a soft manner. His companion looked at him, a smile formed on his lips.

"What do we have here…did little Taiga meet a pretty girl while his big brother was away?" he teased. Kagami blushed a deeper red. His brother gave out a little chuckle.

"H-Hey! I just helped her out you know! Those three jerks were bullying her! It's not like I like her or anything!" Kagami shouted as he bit on his ice cream cone.

"Really now? My little brother is growing up so fast~" his brother teased once more.

"Aaaargh! I just helped her 'kay?! Jeez quit embawassing me Himuro!" Kagami shouted as he gave his brother a few punches to the leg. Himuro laughed loudly as he enjoyed teasing his already beet red little brother.

"So, what's the name of your little girl friend?" Himuro asked as he finished his soft serve. Kagami fidgeted with his shirt as they walked.

"Uh…I think it was Kuroko…but I heard someone call her Tetchan…h-hey! She's not my g-girl friend!" Kagami shouted.

"Alright, alright. Well, maybe you'll see her again in school?" Himuro told him. Kagami's eyes lit up. 'That's right…maybe I'll get to see her again!'

"Good morning my little angels~ Today we have a new friend. Alright, please introduce yourself to the class." Momoi enthusiastically announced. The children were very quiet and stared at their new classmate. The newcomer had a frown on his face and he looked very…intimidating.

"Check out those weird eyebrows…he looks freaky." Aomine commented as he pointed out the newcomer's eyebrows. The newcomer just twitched in irritation.

"What do you care what my eyebrows look like, choco kid!?" the newcomer shouted.

"What'd you call me?!" Aomine yelled back.

"Children behave! Dai-chan! Don't pick a fight with our new friend." Momoi scolded. Aomine grunted and gritted his teeth as he sat back down. "Now, please introduce yourself NICELY to the class."

"Tsk…I'm Kagami Taiga. Uh…nice to meet you." Kagami said as he made an awkward bow.

"What?! You're a tiger?!" Kise shouted as he pointed at him. "Waaaah! Don't eat us!" he yelled as he hid behind Kuroko and hugged him tightly. Kuroko gave a huge sigh at the loss of his personal space again.

"Wha?! I'm not a real tiger you sissy!" Kagami shouted.

"He looks…scary." Murasakibara said as he chewed on a marshmallow.

"He does look like a wild animal." Akashi said as he poked holes on his paper with a pencil.

"Oha Asa did say I have to wear this for protection from wild animals." Midorima commented as he pointed out his bunny ears.

Kagami facepalmed. All the comments and insults were about him on his first day. He knew he couldn't fit in his new school. He wished he was back in the US with his old friends. His day was starting to look bad until…

"Kagami-kun…" a quiet voice called him. Kagami's eyes went wide as he heard his name. His little heart skipped a beat at the quiet tone. He slowly looked behind him went he felt a light hand on his shoulder. There she (he) was, the person he saved 2 days before.

"T-Tetchan…right?" Kagami stuttered. Kuroko looked at him and gave him a small smile.

"It's Kuroko Tetsuya. Thank you again for saving me the other day."

"Wait…Tetsuya? It sounds like a boy's name."

"Well…I am a boy." Kuroko told him. Kagami was stoned. His first love was…

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" And so a new kindergarten life begins for Kagami Taiga.

Diary-kun…Kagami-kun is very…weird. Ah, Kagami-kun does have weird eyebrows… but I'm glad that someone like Kagami-kun was there to help. I hope to be good friends with him tomorrow and the next day and the next day after. I just hope my other friends will be nice to him.

A/N: Yes...Kagami was very cute even though he looks like a tiger. There would be more chaos from now on. I hope you all enjoyed reading the latest chapter. I love hearing from you, go and review! :D
