im getting reallly rusty in writing. If i cant maintain i might have to put my stories up for adoption T_T hopefully i get my sense of writing back. soooooo yeah...

This chappy will contain ocs. Because this is Kagami's 2nd year and all the third years are supposedly gone *wipes tears away*

On the side note, let us all congratulate Meapster! She will be making an oc fanfic on wattpad. Entitled 'Paparazzi'. It will also be posted i this account.

And i just had a chat with a certain reader. I don't have to tell you everything we chatted about since it was really short. But let me tell all of you this: Please, be more considerate about me. Artists post about being treated like printers. But people pay no mind to authors. I put in a lot of effort in my stories despite my personal life. It may take time but I update, though not very fast. Don't complain about the story being forgotten because I have a life too. I go to school, go home and still study and take care of my parents. So please stop being so hasty about the updates because writing, plotting and double checking takes a long period of time. Sometimes, what I type isn't even good enouh so I spend weeks revising it. And this doesn't only apply to me but to other authors as well.

"Kuroko-kun, did your parents not allow you to go?"

The tealhead nods and says, "Mother and father are out of town so no one can look out for grandmother."

The coach sighs. Well, it is a shame to be short on one member, especially if it is Kuroko. He is, after all, part of the light-shadow duo. But life isn't all about basketball.

"Okay. But watch over the courts for us and keep it tidy while we're gone"

After that was said and done, Kuroko left. The others stayed outside the school gates, where the bus will pick them up.

After fifteen minutes of waiting, the bus arrived. And that is one big bus.

It took a few minutes for them to snap out of it. And once they did, the coach was the first one to get inside the bus.

"T-Touou Gakuen?!"

The rest of Seirin stampeded inside, their mouths agape like fishes.

There were new members. Two to be exact. One had curly brown hair that slightly reminded them of seaweed and green eyes.

The other member had honey blonde hair and hazel eyes. He also had two piercings on his left ear. Kagami had a slight hunch that that guy was the 'cutie-kun' of the team.

Ignoring the look that 'cutie-kun' is casting off on her direction, Kagami,s eyes darted around to search for a certain ganguro, who was seated on the further back of the bus. He was looking outside of the window, cheek rested on his fist and his usual expression was on his face.

Izuki elbowed Kiyoshi, whose eyes narrowed as he gripped Kagami's arm protectively. If someone wants to date his child, they better go through him first.

"Kagami, come sit with us.", Hyuuga offered with a smile. But inside, he wanted to stomp over Aomine and kick his balls up the roof of his mouth.

The red headed ace scratched her head uncertainly, and just nods slowly.

No! True love must prevail!

The coach tapped the captain's shoulder and simply stated with a deadly smile, "No. You and Teppei will sit beside me."

And that could almost translate as 'let Bakagami sit with Ahomine, over-protective fathers. If you don't, I'll train you to death. That also applies to everyone'.

The two obliged, sitting with Riko with the lady in the middle. Furihata and Izuki sat together and started discussing match strategies, Fukuda and Kawahara sat together, playing games on the latter's phone, Koganei, Mitobe and Tsuchida discussed about future candidates for captain.

Kagami tries to hide the smile that almost formed on her lips. Why was she so happy to sit with Aomine? They are rivals, right?

She sat next to Aomine, a safe distance between them. The blue haired teen looked at her and said, "Psstt.."

"What?"

"You're ugly", Aomine plainly states.

Kagami scoffs and rolls her eyes, muttering 'ganguro' her breath. Aomine didn't heed any attention. Instead, he pulled out his phone and started playing something on it.

'Wipee!'

Kagami's eye twitched as that sound ommited from Aomine's phone. What was that? It sounds really irritating.

The ace looks at Aomine's handheld and asked, "What are you playing?"

"Roiman Run*", the tanned teen answers without taking his eyes off the game. He bangs his hand on the seat when 'Roiman' fell and inflated into a translucent bubble. He presses the replay button and after a few minutes, dies again.

Aomine growled in frustration and Kagami snickers.

"Never thought you were the type to play games like that", she teases. Aomine's eyebrows furrow in concentration as he replies, "It's hard and challenging. You know how I like challenges"

The ganguro stomps his feet as some hairy, green person-thingy that was using the noisy, yellow thingies as an armpit scrub hit Roiman with a stick.

"Who was that?", Kagami asks, gaining interest in the obstacle game. Aomine clicks he's tongue before answering, "Vividstone*"

Kagami nods, and watches as Aomine got hit by Vividstone again. The tanned male grits his teeth in frustration.

"Loser. Let me try"

Aomine huffs as he gives her the phone. Kagami pressed retry and started playing the game, trying to ignore the stupid music and sound effects that came from the yellow, flying thingies.

As Kagami was about to make the final jump, the vehicle abruptly stopped, causing her not to click the screen bacause of the force. Roiman fell and inflated into a bubble.

Beside her, Aomine laughed tauntingly. Kagami was about to open her mouth to retort but then, they heard a loud shout of:

"Aominecchi! Kagamicchi!"

Kise held them in a choking embrace. That is, if it could be still considered as one. Kise wouldn't have pried off unless Aomine kicked him on his knee.

"Go away, Kise. You're annoying"

There was a message hidden behind Aomine's sentence that Kise chose to mock by shrugging it off and sitting next to Kagami. The blond looks at Aomine by the corner of his eyes with a lopsided smirk.

"Ooh, is that Roiman!?" Kise asks, feigning excitement. And he was doing a damn good job at it. Aomine kept shooting him death glares.

'You're not the only one here who has got fangs, Aominechhi...'
