Tokyo. Just a thought of it was pure amazement! From a small town like Iwatobi into the big city was adventure itself for Makoto. Took him few weeks to get used to – for Haruka it was less than that. Haruka could adapt to anywhere, as long as he had a chance to swim free at the swimming hall. Both of them have met interesting people and made more friends. Well, Makoto more than Haruka, since Haruka was hard to understand. Makoto sighed thoughtfully. At least he had managed to make some friends.

"So, Haru-chan, where do we meet Rin and Sousuke?" Makoto questioned as they travelled in a bus.

"By the fountain. And stop calling me –chan."

Makoto exhaled. "Aah~! Haru~! If you haven't noticed, there are lots of fountains in Tokyo!"

"The one nearby the mall."

"Haru~! It's the same with the malls, too!" 'Trust Haru to state the location as if it's obvious already…'

In the end, Makoto managed to get more answers from Haruka's phone by checking out Rin's messages. Now, they were heading to their meeting point. As the approached to their location, there were other people gathered around the fountain. But there was one person, who looked familiar and caught Makoto's interest.

"Ah! Kagome-san!"

As she heard her name called out, Kagome lifted her eyes from the phone. Locating the source of the voice, she gasped softly and waved at the two young men. "Makoto-kun! Haru-kun! It's good to see you! What are you doing here?"

"We came to here to meet our friends from the hometown." Makoto answered, while Haruka bowed slightly to greet her. "What are you doing here, by yourself at this time of day?"

Kagome hummed softly. "I'm on a date. Well, I should be, but I just received a message from my date, telling me that he would be a bit late because of the practice." She pouted, annoyed about it.

Now that she mentioned it, Makoto noticed how nicely she had dressed up for the day. On her she had dark jeans, a butterfly-printed blouse with various shades of pink and green, almost reaching to her knees. She also had a jacket on, matching to her jeans and she wore brown boots, which also added a little bit more height.

"We will keep you some company, until he arrives. Right, Haru-chan?" Makoto smiled.

"Stop with the –chan, already, Makoto." Haruka frowned at his childhood friend.

Kagome giggled.

"OI~! Haruka~! Makoto~!" A voice shouted out for them. Both men turned their attention away from Kagome and saw who was calling out for them. Rin was waving, Sousuke was following him – and so was Kisumi? "Sorry if we're late! I had to drag this one with me more than once," Rin pointed at Sousuke, "so he wouldn't wander off to the wrong direction." Sousuke glared at him. "While at it, we bumped into this idiot." Now Rin pointed at Kisumi, who pouted at him.

"That's just mean, Rin~!" Kisumi whined.

"It's okay, Rin. We just arrived here as well." Makoto confessed, smiling nervously as he noticed Sousuke and Haruka's staring contest. Every time they met, it was always begun with a staring contest.

"Oh~? Now who is this?" Kisumi leaned forward Kagome, invading her personal space. "Hello there~! I'm Kisumi~!" The pink haired man flirted with her.

"Kisumi, back away from Kagome-san." Haruka demanded, turning his glare at the flirter. Kisumi pouted.

Rin blinked twice, taking a good look at the young woman before him. 'She looks familiar.'

"Ah, everyone, this is Kagome Higurashi," Makoto began the introduction, "Kagome-san, these are our friends. Kisumi Shinigo, who just introduced himself," Makoto pointed at the pink-haired man. (Who winked at her to confirm his identity.) "This is Sousuke Yamazaki," Sousuke bowed, greeting her, "and this is Rin Matsuoka."

"Nice to meet." Kagome greeted all of them.

"Ne, Kagome-chan~" Kisumi began. ("Don't speak to her in such familiar way, Kisumi." Again, Haruka said, scolding at him.) "Would you go out with me~?"

Kagome looked at him, blinking twice before answering to him. "No."

It was as if a knife stabbed through Kisumi's chest. Never expected such fast reply! "Y-you didn't give a thought about it…"

"Serves yah right, flirter." Rin grumbled. "Anyway, how do you know each other?" 'She really looks familiar. Have I met her before? I doubt that.'

"Well," Makoto started, "Kagome-san and I go to the same college." Kagome nodded, confirming it. "She needed some assist with her studies, so I helped her out. Soon we talked about ourselves and noticed we had same interests." Meaning, they both loved cats very much – and their families meant a lot to them. "And before we knew it, we became friends. Later on, I introduced her to Haru and they also became friends."

"Ooh~? You're really something, Kagome-chan." Kisumi had recovered from her rejection. "To have this iceberg to warm up to you." Kisumi hugged Haruka by his shoulders, making Haruka stiff from the close contact. Especially his.

"Well, one day I went to cook for them at Makoto's place and Haru-kun liked the way I cooked the mackerel for him." Kagome told him, brushing some of her hair behind her ear.

'Ah, so that's how they became friends.' Rin thought. The way to be friends with Haruka, was through cooked mackerel. That or impress him with the swimming talent. Soon enough Haruka got away from Kisumi's hold and moved closer to Kagome. At that moment Rin realized why the young woman looked familiar! 'Eh?! What?! They… they look the same! Their hair and eye colors, they are the same! It's almost like looking at twins!'

"Umm, Higurashi-san?" Sousuke finally opened his mouth. "I apologize for asking this, but, are you sure you're not some distant relative with Nanase here?" Rin gapped at the taller man. 'Sousuke~! You just can't go and blur it out like that!'

Both Kagome and Haruka blinked at the question. Haruka half-closed his eyes, irritated about it, while Kagome giggled. Ever since they became friends and occasionally hanged out together, people kept asking them, if they were brother and sister. True, there were some facial resemblances between them; their hair and eye colors that made people to assume so. Only Haruka's eyes were bluer than hers. And that was about it. Still, wanting to be confirmed about it, Kagome did call to her mother, asking about possible relatives elsewhere. According to her, there were no relatives in Iwatobi, not from her side of family or Kagome's father's.

"Heavens, no!" Kagome giggled again. "Goodness, how often do we get to hear that, Haru-kun?"

"Too often." Haruka looked to the other way from the corners of his eyes.

"Although," Kagome dug out phone, browsing through the files, "after meeting Haru-kun, I bumped into someone who looked exactly like Haruka-kun! (I really did bump into him.) First, I thought he was Haru-kun, but he was a high school student." Kagome licked her lips, concentrating on her current task. "Ah! Found it!" By then, the men were closer to her, interested of what she was about to show. "See for yourselves! Doesn't he look like Haru-kun?"

Makoto and Haruka had already seen it; Kagome showed the photo as soon as she met them again. Rin, Sousuke and Kisumi, on the other hand, were either shocked or amazed at the boy's perfect resemblance to Haruka! If you took off his glasses, he was a perfect copy of Haruka, down to his facial expression to the colors of his hair and eyes.

"I can't believe it," Sousuke said, amazed of what he was seeing.

"It's Haruka number two, with glasses!" Kisumi exclaimed!

"Argh! Haruka is multiplying!" Rin shouted out loud, his hands covering his eyes in disbelief as his back arched. People around them turned to look, what the commotion was about, whispering about his behavior. Haruka glared at the red-head for shouting it out loud in public.

"Rin, stop that. Of course he looks like me, because he is a distant relative to me." Haruka told, gaining the three men's attention. (Makoto and Kagome already knew this, so it was no surprise for them.) "His name is Takeru Fujiwara, a relative from father's side."

"EH~?!" Both Rin and Kisumi shouted out. Sousuke sighed at their childish behavior – that and to fact that the boy in a photo was Haruka's relative. Just what he needed, two Harukas!

"Makoto-kun, your friends are funny." Kagome chuckled, talking to the brunette.

"Hehehee… I'm sorry for their behavior." Makoto blushed, embarrassed of them. Kagome patted his arm, trying to console him. The brunette was so cute with his actions! What a kind-hearted he was!

She gestured him to lean closer so she could whisper to him. "Ne, Makoto-kun? How are things going between you and Haru-kun?" She winked teasingly at him. That only made former back-swimmer to blush even more and to cover his reddened face with his hands!

One time, while Haruka was at the swimming contest, Makoto confessed to Kagome that he had feelings for his childhood friend. However, he hadn't confessed his feelings directly to Haruka yet. So he thought to mention about it to Kagome, fearing what she would think of him. (Makoto really did think that Kagome might have some feelings for him.) His fear was for nothing, because Kagome smiled, proud of how he had the courage to tell her. At that same point, she confessed that she was already seeing someone, therefore had no love interests for Makoto – only pure friendship. Ever since his confession, Kagome kept encouraging him and pushing Makoto to admit his feelings to Haruka. No luck whatsoever.

"Aah! Kagome-san!" His muffled voice was heard beneath his hands; he should've known she would ask him this! Makoto's muffled exclaim made Haruka to turn his attention away from the others. Whenever Makoto was embarrassed of something, it was always enjoyment for Haruka to see him that way. (Next to seeing the beauty of water and waterfalls, of course.) He was so adorable.

"Hoo~?" A voice behind her said. "What's this? Should I be jealous, seeing you surrounded by such good-looking men? Huh, Kagome-chan~?"

"Ah! Tetsurou-kun!" Kagome turned around once she recognized the voice. "You're late!"

Kuroo frowned at her, still not liking the idea of seeing her surrounded by attractive looking men. Damn, they were as tall as him. He, himself, was dressed up simple; black jeans, a grey sweater and a dark green jacket. "Sorry, but the coach had something to say before we got permission to leave. I did send you a message, right?"

"Yeah." Kagome confirmed.

"Well, to make it up for you, I will take you to your favorite place, where they serve amazing oden." Kuroo smirked at her, knowing she would forgive him for being late. He was right. Kagome's eyes shone in delight once she heard him saying it.

"Tetsurou-kun…" Kagome sighed.

Makoto chuckled softly. 'Kagome-san is the same as Haru. If you mention oden, her eyes shine in a same way as Haru's does nearby the water.'

Kagome went to her date. Before they left, Kagome turned one more time at Makoto and the others. "Thanks for keeping me company! I hope to see you some other time!" She said to Rin, Sousuke and Kisumi. "Ne, Makoto-kun, see you at the courses! And Haru-kun, just send me a message if you need help with cooking!" Makoto waved at her, as Haruka nodded. "Bye~!"

With that said, they left for their date, leaving the five men by the fountain. Once they were gone, Makoto noticed something odd. 'That's weird, we are close to a fountain and Haru hadn't stepped a foot…'

He thought out too soon, as Rin shouted out at Haruka. "Haru~! Don't!"

Makoto gasped, quickly took a hold of his childhood friend / crush, who was about to strip himself! "Haru~! Not here! You will get arrested if you do!"

Haruka shivered. "I'm… at my… end. I need to swim…"

"Just wait when we get home!"

Few feet away, both Kagome and Kuroo stopped and looked behind them once they heard Rin's shout. They saw what was happening by the fountain, each having different reactions about it.

"Hoo… they sure are interesting lot." Kuroo grinned.

Kagome looked a bit embarrassed, now understanding how Makoto must have felt earlier. "So they are."

"Well, none of our concern." Kuroo wrapped an arm around her, bringing her closer to him. "I'm more concern about us."

"Oh? How so?"

"Well, what to do after we eat? Go to the movies? Or…" Kuroo came closer to her ear. "Do we go to my place, to watch the movie there and then later on… have some fun together?" He smugly said. He just loved to tease her.

"T-Tetsurou-kun!" Kagome blushed heavily, feeling as if the steam was coming out of the ears!

In the end, they did go restaurant to eat and then to the movies, enjoying each other's company. Kuroo knew that he couldn't push Kagome any further in their relationship. Time for more would come, when Kagome was ready. Until then, Kuroo was satisfied with simple kisses and touches.

Still, he loved to tease her, hinting about it. Her reactions were too adorable!

End of story.

First draft: January the 30th, 2016

Author's note: There you have it, a multi-crossover! :D Ever since I saw the 1st episode of Prince of Stride – Alternative, and saw Takeru Fujiwara, I thought: 'omg, it's Haruka number two, with glasses!' (That's why I had Kisumi say that.) At first I thought about writing only Free! & Prince of Stride crossover, but then I came up with this. ;)

And yes, I ship Haruka x Makoto. No matter how often I think about it, I can't imagine Kagome (or anyone else) dating with either one of them. Well, Kisumi would try to come between them, creating a triangle, who knows?

As for possible continuations for the previous fics: I only got ideas for Haikyuu and Naruto fics. Not sure about Noragami, I only came up with "Gods Among Us?"-fic. Only time will tell. Before that will happen, I got plenty other fics to be written down. Until then!
