That's Why I Am Here

Izanami's POV

I, could never understand.

I, could never comprehend.

Of why the redhead is so infatuate with 'strong' and 'challenges'. Even being with him for so long, I still couldn't figure it out.

"After all, life is about challenges! Without strong opponents, life isn't fun. It's perfect if I can't win!"

That's right. This side of you, is precisely why I'm drawn to you.

Even if he has hit a wall, he won't despair. Even if he falls, he would definitely get back up again. Even if he's weak, he would always find a way to improve and get stronger. That is the type of man he is.

He was my first friend, who taught me about the meaning of life. The first color that was ever splashed and introduced into this monochrome world of mine; The Passionate Red.

Before I could drift further into my reverie, my mind was jerked back to reality by a low moan.

I rise up anxiously from the chair. Only to get disappointed, again.

All I could hear was the repetitive ticking sounds of a clock. Resonating deeply in the white, vacant room which reek of sterile chemicals.

I hung my head low as I clutched tightly on the rim of my skirt. Biting my bottom lip as I occasionally looked up to the bed in front of me.

He's still not awake... Whenever I watched the boy lie motionlessly on the bed, I would feel a pang in my heart. "Kuroko-kun..."

"... Uhm..." The bluenette groaned. My eyes widened as I quickly rise to my feet. Checking if he has regained his consciousness.

"Kuroko-kun! Can you hear me?" I asked anxiously, as worries plastered all over my features. Kuroko slowly peeled his eyes open. He swept his gazes across the room with his half-lidded eyes, before it landed on me.

"Where am I?"

"You're at Kaijo's Infirmary. You lose conscious during the second quarter after... being accidentally hit by blondie." I swallowed the lump that was formed in my throat during the lapse. Although it was a pure accident, I still couldn't shake myself off the shock about what happened a while ago.

During the second quarter, while Seirin goes for a fast-break and Kise rushes back. He swung his arm backward, accidentally hit Kuroko in the head due to his misdirection. Kise didn't know that Kuroko was standing there. He was as shock as everyone else when all of these occurs and could only stared at the bluenette as he watched him falls.

There were even blood oozing and dripping down to his eyes. Yet, Kuroko still insisted playing. His words weren't convincing because he falls to the ground soon after. Medic was called in and he was soon taken out from the court.

I was instructed by Riko-senpai to watch over the bluenette and report to her if anything goes wrong. That was why, I have been staying with Kuroko in the Infirmary. Waiting for him to regain consciousness.

"I see," Kuroko's hand reached toward the bandages wrapped around his head. Brushing his fingertips across the fabric, he asked. "Izanami-san, how is the game going?"

"Well... The truth is, I've been told to keep watch on you ever since you were sent to the Infirmary. So I've no idea how the game is going either..." I replied as I hung my head low once again.

"W-Where are you going, Kuroko-kun!? Your wound are still-" The bluenette paid no heed to his manager's protest as he struggled to get out of bed with what little strength left in him.

"Izanami-san, I'm already feeling well. There's no need to fret over it." Kuroko reassured me by putting up a faint smile on his pale face. Still, I insisted. "But—"

"Aren't you curious about the game as well?"

"Yes, I am—"

"Then let's go." Before I could protest, Kuroko has already finished putting on his uniform jacket and was waiting for me at the door. I just got dragged into his pace...

I sighed in defeat. Although I knew why this match is important to Kuroko, that doesn't mean that he can neglect his health! What if he faints again?

Well, let's just hope that it won't come down to this.

…

"Kuroko-kun!? Why're you here? You shouldn't be up and walking about! And Nami, hadn't I told you to watch over Kuroko!?" There she goes. I knew I'm going to get an earful from our Coach the moment I let Kuroko do as he pleases.

"Izanami-san has nothing to do with this. I'm the one insisted to come and watch the game. And I'm already feeling well."

With utter gratitude, I beamed at the bluenette who had defended me with glisten eyes. "Kuroko-kun..." Damn. I want to cuddle him so badly!

Kuroko gave me a curt nod before going over to the bench and perched himself there. I, too, followed and seated myself right next to him.

"If you say so." Riko sighed. She doubts the bluenette would listen to her anyways. Kuroko could be as stubborn as a bull if he wants to be. Especially if it concern the team or his friends. The brunette's attention then goes back to the court where the match were still on-going.

Kaijo was still leading. However, that was not the point. My eyes were glued on a particular player from our team with No.4 jersey; Hyuga Junpei.

All the second-years were going on the offensive. Showing off their excellent cohesiveness through team plays. After all, they had staked their pride as a second-year on the line in this match. Now is the time to show everyone what Seirin is truly made of.

During the game, Koga-senpai gave Hyuga-senpai a screen. Which allowed Izuki-senpai to send a pass to an open Hyuga. He then bravely shot a three pointer and while Mitobe-senpai screens his opponent out, the ball goes in with a whoosh.

Impressed by the performance put up by the sophomores, I exclaimed as the delight on my face was mixed with surprise. "Amazing...!"

"Yeah." Kuroko chimed in. Though he stayed calm and quiet as always, I could tell that he was awed by the senpais' play. How he paid so much attention to their movements, a lift of their finger, and their forms. Never miss out even a single detail from them.

I guess it was the first time both of us had seen our senpais played so vigorously from a spectator's view.

"But, the gap between us isn't shirnking..." I pointed out worriedly, as I looked at the score board on the referee's table.

"Indeed. Even though we have Kagami-kun guards Kise while second-years go on the offence. Without Kuroko-kun, it's really hard to turn the tables."

Riko has noticed the fact, that, without Kuroko, Seirin has little to no chance of winning. She stole a glance at the bluenette beside her. If she ask Kuroko to play in his current state, she would be nothing but a demon...!

As if sensing the Coach's dilemma, Kuroko voiced out. "Riko-san, please put me back into the game." He said as he lifted himself up, albeit wobbling a little.

"What—!?" Coach and I yelled in sync at Kuroko for his recklessness. Just what the hell is he thinking!?

"Impossible! You can't play with your injury like this! Look. You're unsteady!" I hollered out as I spread my arms outstretch. Blocking the bluenette from advancing any further.

"But Coach said that I should go..." Kuroko retorted as his expression was morphed into a slight frown- wait, don't tell me... He's sulking? S-So... CUTE! That's cheating, Kuroko-kun!

Before my heart could be sway by his puppy-like eyes, Riko came up to him and gave him a whack on his back. "Baka! I didn't say that! I said it would be bad IF you aren't in the game!"

"Then the more I have to go."

"You—!"

"Please, Coach. I beg of you. Let me play." Kuroko pleaded. After listening to his plead, my arms fell limply to the sides. As I looked into those pair of oceanic orbs, all my determination from preventing him going onto the court has sapped away. I could see that Kuroko has made up his resolve. That's why I shouldn't be holding him back. I should let him go, if that's what he wished for.

"I made a promise. That I'll be Kagami-kun's shadow."

That's right. I've made a promise to the both of them, as well as myself too. That I will make the both of them the No.1 in Japan and bring our team to victory. So what meaning does it hold if we lose now?

Riko prodded her brow with her finger, looking contemplated. Then, she looked at the bluenette with a serious expression. "Alright. But if I see anything dangerous I'm substituting you out."

"Do your best, Kuroko-kun." I smiled weakly at Kuroko. Encouragement and faith were the only things I could give to him at the moment. I should trust him.

"Thank you, Riko-san, Izanami-san. Then, I'll be going." With that being said, he goes back into the battlefield once again.

Things have definitely changed for the better once Kuroko has made his comeback. His misdirection activeness is back to the beginning again, as he had successfully passed the ball around to our teammates. And occasionally, he would steal the ball away from the opponent. Much to Kaijo's distress.

Seirin managed to close in on Kaijo with a tie now. However, Kise isn't the type to give up that easily.

He powers up again and gets around Kuroko's steal and scores points for Kaijo.

"Neither one of them wants to give in, huh." I muttered to myself. Both Seirin and Kaijo were struggling for points. They would both tried to catch up with one another and surpass their opponent's points. Just like a relay.

Before we knew it, the time remaining in the fourth quarter has gone down to mere seconds. It has turned into a race against time now.

When Kasamatsu-san tried to shoot a three-pointer, he was abruptly stopped by Taiga with his incredulous jump. "I won't let you!"

"What the—!?" Kasamatsu gasped. Surprised by the redhead sudden appearance before him. Seizing hold of Kasamatsu's small lapse of hesitance, Taiga managed to smack the ball away from him. Successfully rendered him

Taiga then goes for a fast-break with Kuroko in tow as he dribbled the ball. But Kise was already waiting for them under the basket, "Come!"

Knowing there wasn't much time left, Taiga couldn't afford to take the risk by going up against Kise now. Thus, he swiftly passed the ball to Kuroko, who was just beside him. "Go! Kuroko!"

As if on cue, Kuroko caught the pass and was already taking his stance for the shoot. He crouched his ankles, before jumping lightly with his arms stretched upward. Throwing the ball for an alley-hoop.

Everyone held their breath, as they watched the ball swirled and flew towards the basket. I immediately stood up with Riko. Clasping both our hands tightly to one another as we swallowed nervously. Gluing our eyes onto the ball that holds our fate. Please...!

Whoosh

It goes in.

Beep!

The Seirin has won. We have won.

"W-We won..." The rest of the first-years who were seated at the bench, said as they began jumping for joy at our victory.

"YOSHA!" Taiga shouted. All their hardwork, their sweats, have finally paid off. The happiness on his face was indescribable. On the other hand, Kuroko merely wiped the sweats that were dangling on his chin with his hand as he stared at the score board. Huffing. The usual stoic face of his has melted, and was now replaced by a rare, genuine smile.

The second-years and everyone dashed and gathered themselves around our first-year duo aces. Ecstatic over our victory as their hearty laughs resounded the gym.

While everyone was celebrating their victory, I stood rooted to the ground away from them. Why? Because I wanted to capture everyone's faces and etched this very moment in my heart. Forever.

"What're you dazing out for, Nami-chan!?" Heeding Izuki-san's call, I snapped out of my thoughts. The second-years and everyone were all glancing in my direction and smiling wholeheartedly all the while. They were calling for me.

Slowly, my mouth curled into a pleasant smile. As I sprinted with all my might towards them, and launched human-racket into the redhead with my 'Venus Crash'. Tackling him over in the process.

"-Gah!" Of course, the momentum has lurched both of us forward before coming to a stop at some distance away. I then straddled him as he lay beneath me. Watching infinite stars and flock of birds circling atop of his head as he lied dizzily on the floor.

Everyone stared at the poor guy in sympathy. But for the Seirin, they had seen better than this. They merely laughed and chuckled at the sight.

I grinned, as I poked the redhead's nose funnily while he was still left defenseless.

You finally did it, Taiga.

However, at the same time, I could feel a knot in my stomach amidst in these gaieties. I'm glad and feels happy for Taiga over his victory, that's of course. Yet, I couldn't help but also felt... a little lonely and... scared. Why did I have a feeling that, he's slowly drifting further away from me?

…

It was a blistering hot afternoon, as the sky was full of cotton-wool clouds. There stood a guy, who was replenishing his excess loss of water by drinking from the water tap. Once he was done, he wiped his mouth with a towel that was draped around his neck.

He sensed a presence approaching him slowly. Assuming it would be his senpai who was sneaking up on him, he quickly ducked by clutching his head. "-Eeek! Please don't hit me! I'm going back to practice now so-!"

"... What are you doing?"

The blondie paused his garbling and peered up at the source of its voice. He sighed in relief when he realized the person wasn't his senpai, but the Manager of Seirin Team. Who's team he had lost against just a while back.

"Please don't scare me like that, Namicchi! I thought it was Kasatmatsu-senpai trying to drag me back to practice again~" Kise pouted.

The outcome of the match actually came down a great shock on him. He has never lose to anyone outside of the Generation of Miracles. He was so conceited and confident in his skills to the fact that he thought there was no way a non-generation-of-miracle could beat him. Yet, he lost. I don't even want to imagine what kind turmoil the blondie is going through now.

Well, it's not like I am worried about him or anything. Just out of courtesy, I thought I should bid him a farewell before leaving. Since I didn't do it the last time I came here.

"That was a good game."

I commented as I crossed my arms over my chest. Instead of responding, Kise blinked his golden orbs owlishly at me. Dumb-struck.

I twitched at his lack of response. And it took me quite an effort to talk to him up close like this since I couldn't stand ikeman!

"I said it was a good game. You deaf?" Impatience slowly seeping out of me as I reiterated.

The model just gawked at me, as if I was the most interesting creature in the world. His lips parted slightly before a sudden laugh broke through the awkward silence between us.

Did he have a stomach ache? I pondered, as I sent a cursory glance at him.

"—Haha... Sorry Namicchi! I'm just... glad," His expression had softened and was now grinning from ear to ear. "Thank you for saying that."

Now was my turn to turn speechless. I don't know what I had done to trigger such a reaction from him. Nor do I had any idea why he was laughing. But it seemed like he has gotten his spirit back. Which was more than enough.

"W-Well, I'm just stating a fact. There's nothing to thank me about." A shade of pink dusted on my cheeks as I avoided my eyes from his. Getting thanked by something as small as this wasn't in my calculation at all.

For some reason, I find the blondie ain't as annoying as I thought all ikeman would be. Once I got to know him, that is. But that doesn't implied that I have accepted ikeman! I still find them unbearable though. Maybe I should make an exception for him...?

Scratch that. No way is that going to happen! That blondie still grates on my nerves whenever I see that face of his. The face that all plastic surgeons adore and treasure of.

"Nami! We're going back!" I jolted up when I heard a clarion call to me from our captain, "O-Oh!" I answered back hastily.

"Then, I'll be going." I told the model tersely. This time, properly, I bid Kise farewell with a curt bow. Pivoting my heels as I prepared to run over to where everyone were waiting for me at the gates, I halted my steps mid-way. "Let's meet again at Interhigh!" I yelled from across. Catching the blondie's attention.

Kise grinned before shouting back a reply, "Ah! But we won't go easy on ya the next time we play!"

"Like hell we need you to go easy on us!"

With that being said, I resumed my running. As I run, I brushed past a certain man. A guy who doesn't look like he's from Kise's school. I cast a quick glance at the male; Four-eyed, tall, and he held a what seemed like a toy frog in his hand. His fingers were taped neatly with bandages. Though I doubt he did that because of injury.

What a weirdo...

We paid no mind to each other's presence as we simply went our separate ways. For now, we need not know each others. Until the time comes for us to cross our path once again.

…

"Pardon me?" I asked for what seemed like an umpteenth time. If my ears weren't playing tricks on me, then I must be daydreaming again.

"I s-a-i-d~ We are going to the restaurant that serves 4kg of steak for free. But we have to finish in 30 minutes or else we will pay 10,000 yen each if we fail." Riko said as she drooled at the mention of 'steak'.

It has been decided that even though we didn't have enough money, we still wanted to celebrate our win on Kaijo's match. So our demonic Coach, has suggested yet another preposterous idea.

"There's no way we could finish all of that!" The second-years and some first-years, (excluding Kuroko and Taiga) were all strongly against it. They know their stomach and appetite well. Even if it was after an intense match when they were famished and ravenous for food to fill their growling stomachs. There's no way they could stuff all of that into them!

"You can count me out. I'm on a diet." I said as I put up some distance between Riko and I. 'Fats' is our girls biggest nemesis in our lives. There's no way I'm going along with her plan! Though I could say the otherwise for a certain gluttony redhead.

"Mou! Stop being such a party-pooper, Izana! Even if we can't finish our plates, we can always leave it to the guys!"

"WHAT—!?" All the males were making an uproar and complaining at the Coach's prejudice.

"Right...?"

They gulped, and cowered in fear. With a change of tone and aura, the guys have became as meek as a lamb under Riko's clutches. Only in such moment, I was glad that I was born as a girl. Really.

By the time we realized it, we had already reached the restaurant Riko had mentioned. "C'mon! Let's enjoy ourselves to the fullest!" Riko said as she pushes everyone in against their wills. After everyone has walked in, albeit rather reluctantly. Kuroko, Taiga and I then followed suit.

"I give up..."

No more than a few minutes had passed, Kuroko was already down. Throwing up his towel as a sign of surrender.

Actually, I shouldn't be the one to talk. Since I was no better than the bluenette in any ways— bleurgh!

My face was green and pale. It was the fifth plate and I could already felt my stomach protesting as the bile rise up in my throat. I covered my mouth before running out of the restaurant at lightning speed. To prevent making a scene at a public dining place by puking all over, of course.

I don't know about Bakagami. But if it's him, he would definitely suck all of our leftovers up dry like a vacuum in no sweats.

"Phew... It's a waste that I vomited everything's out though..." I mumbled lowly to myself as I came out of the public washroom. Sighing.

As I rounded a corner to go back to the restaurant where everyone was, I witnessed something unexpected; Kuroko and Kise were standing outside of the restaurant.

Instinctively, I hid myself behind a concrete wall. Though there wasn't a need for me to act so secretive about.

I saw them leaving the place and headed to somewhere else. Should I follow them...? I pondered. I definitely did not want to be mistaken as some sort of stalker, gets reported to the police and leave a record on my seemingly bright future. But, damn! My curiosity got the best of me and before I knew it, I was already hiding behind a trunk. I hoped the idiom 'Curiosity killed the cat.' doesn't apply to me. Though I am not a cat.

Due to the distance, I was unable to hear their conversation well. But I could at least made out a few words from it. Such as; Midorima. Match. Generation of Miracles.

And that was all I heard.

Getting greedier and impatient, I scurried cautiously over and crouched behind the bush. Where was much nearer to them.

"Why did you disappeared during our last year's championship game, Kurokocchi?"

"I don't know either. However, one thing I knew was, I hated basketball back then."

So, they were talking about their past... I brushed off some twigs that got in the way as I pressed my ears forward.

"But, Kagami-kun is different. His attitude towards basketball is genuine. And I could feel his bottomless passion in basketball. That's why, I've decided to become his shadow. And I will make him the light."

Kuroko said determinedly. I silently applaud the bluenette in my heart. I didn't know that he respects Taiga to such extent.

Kise raised his brows. Still looked confuse. "I don't quite get it. But someday, when Kagami reaches the level of the 'Generation of Miracles', he will drifts apart from the team—"

"There's no way that would happen!"

On the spur of moment, I retorted the blondie without a second thought. Both of them batted their eyelids dumbfoundedly at me as I froze up after exposing myself.

Shit. I cussed inwardly.

"U-Uhm, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation! I-It's just that I couldn't find the timing to come out right..." I slapped myself mentally. Well, it's not my fault that I'm such a bad liar!

I laughed sheepishly as I scratched my cheek with my forefinger. Trying to conceal the embarrassment I had gotten myself into.

"Namicchi! So you've heard our conversation, huh?"

"M-Maa, only the latter. I guess?"

"Then, what do you think about Kagami's strength? How could you be so sure that he wouldn't drifts apart from the team, when all of us, the generation of miracles all drifted apart and becomes what we are now?"

Kise asked. My statement from earlier seemed to have piqued his interest. Kuroko, too, focused his eyes on me. Waiting for my response.

I stared into the space for a while, before my shoulders slumped as I let out a long, deep sigh. "Because if he ever starts getting all high and mighty or 'emo' because of his tiny-little-booger powers. I'll smack the balls out of him. Simple,"

I deadpanned. Which has made Kise sweat-dropped from my gruff respond while Kuroko stayed unfazed as always.

"And I'll do that as many times, so long as I'm alive. That's the reason why I'm here in the first place. To prevent that from ever happening."

My expression turned serious as I looked at the two man standing before me. It seemed like my last statement had rendered both of them speechless. Kise was taken aback by the answer as he stood gaping at me. Whereas Kuroko merely looked at me impassively. Though I swore I saw him widened his eyes for a fraction just a moment ago.

"Huh? Izana? Kuroko? What are you doing here? And why are you here?"

Speak of the devil.

Kise sauntered over to Taiga's side, and patted his shoulder. "Man. You're one lucky fellow. I'm so jealous of you..." Kise whispered in his ear. So that their conversation were inaudible to outsiders. However, the redhead just gave him a perplexed look. Didn't know where the conversation was going or where did it came from.

As clueless as always.

"P-Please give the ball back!"

My eyes snapped open at a voice coming from the open basketball court located just behind me.

There was a group of highschool thugs towering over a few of the other students. Judging their physiques, they are probably middle-schoolers. And Thug A has had his hand on a basketball which I think it belongs to the middle schooler boy.

"Huuuuh? You want your ball back? No problem, but you have to get the shit out of 'ere." Thug B demanded unreasonably from the younger boy gruffly. Sneering down at him in the process.

"N-No way...! We came here first..." The timid boy muttered shakily. His feet were trembling as he could barely stood. He was too intimidated by the gang's appearance and their crude words.

"So~? Now we want to use the courts, so you brats should just go home and be a good lil two shoes!"

The thugs were snickering away as they herd themselves around those middle-schoolers. Enjoying themselves as they see the victims shrank back in fear and cowered before them. As if that wasn't enough, one of the thug screamed some incoherent threat at the boys. Overcome with fear, one of the boy fell weakly to his knees.

Ka-cha!

"Oi! What the hell are you doing!?"

The bunch of thugs spun their heads upon hearing camera shutter sound. And spotted me not from afar, taking proofs of their dirty deeds.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm taking pictures."

"You bitch—!"

The thugs looked at me ferociously and gritted their teeth. However, their expression soon turned lecherous after they had took a closer look at my body. Some even whistled as they exchanged sly looks among themselves.

The thugs then strolled leisurely to me. Like a predator has found its prey.

"Hey there missy~ Alone~?" Thug C leaned in closer as he leered at me from head to toe. Snatching away my phone in the process, "Why not come play with us~? We won't disappoint you~" Thug D coaxed as he had his grip on my wrist. I grimaced in pain when his hold on me tightened. I tried jerking his hand off from me but it was futile.

They might be hooligans but they're still guys. I should have thought twice about confronting them. I underestimated their strengths.

"Please let go of her."

"Huuuh? Who the fuck are you?"

Kuroko-kun-!

"Please stop harassing her. She's in pain, can't you see that? And also, please return the ball to the boy."

Kuroko said impassively. Which earned a few twitch from the thugs. Just when one of the thug wanted to grab Kuroko's collar, a blur of yellow stepped in between them.

"What a coincidence. We would like to play with you as well~ Now, could you please release your grip on her? Ne?"

Kise and Taiga stood in front of me. Taiga had his hand clenched onto the thug's arm who grabs me. I don't know how much force he was putting, but I could see the thug winced terribly in pain. As if his arm was going to break. With no choice, the thug then slowly released me from his vice-like grip. I soothed my wrist repeatedly, hoping it would rub away its soreness. That's going to leave a bruise...

"...Tch." One of the thug clicked his tongue annoyingly. They slowly backed away from the sight of Taiga and Kise. However, since they have more numbers than ours, they soon regained their posture and hostility.

"Let's have a match. We don't mind if it's 5 against 3. If you guys lose, you have to leave the court and return the ball back to them. If we lose, we will do anything you ask of. How 'bout that?"

Kise suggested. He spun the basketball in a circular motion that was resting on his finger. The smug look was glowing on his face. Whereas Taiga, he was cracking his knuckles and warming up. I couldn't see his face quite clearly from my position. But, he somehow looked... pissed?

"Izanami-san, please leave it to us." Kuroko said as he adjusted his wristband. Just like how he always did before a match.

I blinked my long-lashed eyes disbelief at the trio. Baffled. Then, the corner my mouth twitched upward. I couldn't believe a day would come when the three of them would be playing side by side like this.

"Okay."

I sauntered over to the bleacher and seated there as I was told to. Waiting eagerly for the tragedy to befall on those brainless thugs, who didn't know they were playing with fire.

I mindlessly looked up at the sky while the trio was busy crushing down the 'ants'. It was filled of mackerel clouds, crimson and amber-tinted. As I watched the clouds drifting about, an image of blue, yellow, and red flashed into my mind. Just like the color of the sky now; The calming blue. The glorious yellow. And the passionate red.

It was only a matter of time before all of the colors assemble together and forms a rainbow. A rainbow which was once broken into pieces, and thought it couldn't be mended.

A/N: Shin-chan has finally made his debut! Lol. Although there wasn't much scenes about him. But no worries! He will appear more in the next 1-2 chapters soon.

A 'dere Nami... Kufufu. I kind of made her a little tsundere-like in this chapt. Since I think it fits quite well with her character. :3
