Today is Sunday and there is no practice! Isn't that wonderful? But at the same time, it was boring since I have nothing to do. I'll just have to stroll down the city, I guess.

"Ah!" I remembered that I'm out of ingredients for dinner today. "I guess I'll head to the supermarket" I sigh and take a short route to go there.

"Finally arrived.." I muttered to myself and come in to the store. I picked up some stuff like fish, some meat, chicken, veggies and fruits. "Ah. I forgot eggs.." I walked to the eggs corner. "Hmm.. Ah! There it is" I said and take some but then I bumped someone. "Huwa-!"

"Ah!"

I think I bumped into a guy. He caught the eggs and then caught me as well so I didn't fall. "Waa.. That was a very close one" he said.

I looked up. A guy with a mole near his right eyes and has a black hair and his bang cover his left eye was in front of me. ".. Tha, thank you" I said. He helped me up and gave me the eggs. "Here you go" he smiled.

"Ah, I'm really sorry for the trouble" I apologize now.

"It's alright," he smiled but then frowned. "Now what was I going to do again?"

"I'm sorry I made you forget too…" I apologize again.

"It's alright, ah, I remember I need some lettuce. Do you know where it is?" He asked me. He seems very polite. I wonder why I feel like I know him.

"Yes, it's near the fish section. I'll take you there" I said.

"Thank you. That helps me a lot" he said again. After I show him the vegetables section, I left him and go to the counter to pay for the stuff that I wanted. "Thank you very much."

I left the shop and in the same moment...

"... The hell.. Why is it raining?!" I yelled. I didn't bring my umbrella. It was sunny few minutes ago! "Oh, it's raining" the same voice as the guy back then. "Ah." I said.

"It seems it's raining so hard. My acquaintances' house is nearby. If you don't mind please come with me. I want to thank you for telling me the veggies" he said to me.

"Eh? Are you sure it's nothing really" I asked him with a surprised tone. He nodded his head with a smile. He take off his jacket and put it on my head. "Here you go. Let's go" he said. We both run until we arrive at an apartment.

"Here we are. Let's go in" he said again.

"A, are you sure it's fine. Um, I can go home from here alone. Ah! But I will wash your jacket first of course!" I said again with a little nervous tone.

"It's alright" he smiled again. After that we go up and arrive in a room. He knocked on the door. "Ush!" A voice from inside said.

The door is open and the figure that I saw is Kagami. "Kagami?!" I yelled and pointed my finger at him.

"Ha? Shiroyan?! Why are you here?" He asked me back.

"It seems you both know each other" the guy beside me said again. "Tatsuya too? Wait, did you guys know each other?" Kagami asked both of us again.

"No, I just happen to bumped him so that's it" I answered. "Tatsuya..-san right? Did you know Kagami?" I asked the guy beside me. Since I didn't know his name at all, I guess calling him Tatsuya is alright, right?

"Un, we're childhood friend. What about you, um.. I forget to ask your name before" he asked me. I give him a smile, "Shiroyan Yuu. I'm Kagami's schoolmate, we're in the same basketball club" I explained to him.

"Are you Seirin new manager?" He asked me again.

Eh? Manager? "He's our teammates" Kagami answered it for me.

"Teammates? Aren't you a girl?" Tatsuya asked me about it. Do I really look like a girl in this outfit? Maybe my voice isn't boyish enough. "N, no. I'm a boy. It's usual for me to get mistaken as a girl" I lied to him. I hope he believe this lie. Kagami seems to be a bit scared that my real gender will be realized by him.

"Is that so, I'm sorry about that" he apologize to me. Tatsuya seems to be a nice guy and if he knows about Seirin that means he's a basketball player too.

I was lost on my own thought and a bit surprised when Kagami snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Wa!"

"What are you doing spacing out like that? You guys can come in, sorry you had to wait at the door" Kagami said. Tatsuya and I come in to his room.

Well, this is surprising. I didn't expect for Kagami's house or apartment room to be this nice and clean. "Kagami, do you live alone?"

"No. Not really.." He answered while searching for tea cups. "Then Tatsuya-san lives here?" I looked at Tatsuya who sited beside me on the carpet near the table.

"No, Kagami lives with our former coach" he answered.

"Coach?" I blinked my eyes, "oh yeah, Kagami was from America right before? Then Tatsuya-san was from America too?" I asked him a bunch of questions.

He giggled a bit and nodded his head. I have heard so many stories about him from Kuroko and the others before, and it's true...

He's totally different from Kagami!

"What is with that expression, Shiroyan?!" Kagami glared at me. While we were talking like this, a door cracking sound can be heard. "Huh?"

"Huaaaahh.. Taiga.. Good morning.." A lady voice can be heard. Could it be that Kagami and Tatsuya former coach is a girl?

"It's not good morning. It's afternoon!" Kagami yelled.

"Good morning to you too, Alex" Tatsuya greeted him with a smile.

"Don't greet her back like that!" Kagami yelled again.

Now, my head was bombarded with thoughts ".. Kagami and Tatsuya really do look like brothers... But Kagami definitely is more stupid different than Tatsuya-san.."

"Yuu-kun.." Tatsuya called my name. I looked at him and answered, "yes?"

"This is our former coach from America, her name is Alex" Tatsuya introduced the lady to me. The lady had glasses and long blonde hair and somehow reminded me of Satsuki.

"Oh! Who is this girl?" The lady looked at me and her face is leaning closer to me. But then Tatsuya pulled me closer to him. "Alex, don't kiss him" he said.

"Eeehh? Just a greeting is fine right?" The woman whined.

"Etto.. Nice to meet you, I'm Kagami's schoolmate and teammates too. My name is Shiroyan Yuu" I introduced myself to her. She took my hand and shake it. "Nice to meet you too, Shiroyan-chaaan!"

"Sorry 'bout her Shiroyan" Kagami said with a lazy tone.

"Taiga, you're so evil!" Alex shouted at Kagami.

I looked at the window, it's still raining outside. "Huff.." I muttered.

"What is it Yuu-chan? Hungry?" Alex asked me. Her face is getting closer too. I back out a little. (I took a step back)

".. Eh.. N, no.." Too soon to say I guess, my tummy's grumbled. "Wha.. Ahaha.. Haha.. Ha.. I'm sorry it's rude.." I apologize. I'm actually kind of hungry. When I'm home and it was this kind of time and weather, I usually feel really hungry and can eat 3 times in 2 hours.

"Alright! Let's cook something shall we?" Kagami stand up and walk towards the kitchen. "I'll help you!" I stood up and followed him.

Kagami put out some ingredients for the food, is it going to be a curry? Or a fried-rice?

"Kagami, what's the menu?" I asked him. He looked at me and then answered, "fried-rice! Or you want a curry?" He asked me.

"Anything is fine!" I answered with a grin. He ruffled my hair and said, "You should smile more."

Without my knowledge, I stepped on his foot. ".. A! Sorry.. It's a habit.." I apologize.

".. I'm complimenting you, you know?!" He yelled at me. We both cook the fried rice together.

In the end it smells really delicious! "Sorry for the waaiiit!" I said with a cheerful tone.

I put the food in the table. Tatsuya and Alex is sitting closely and said, "Waaa! It smells delicous!" Alex commented.

"Un, it is.." Tatsuya said too. Then the 4 of us ate together. Later after that, we finished it. "Ah! I'm so full!" Alex said.

I giggled at how Alex expression is right now. "Thank you for the meal" Tatsuya said.

"En? Ah, the rain stopped." Kagami suddenly said. I looked out at the veranda too. "Oh, it certainly is.."

"Then, I guess I'll take my leave" I stood up and bowed, "Thanks Kagami" I said to Kagami.

Kagami grinned, "Anytime!"

Tatsuya suddenly got up too. "I think I'm going home too, ok?"

"Eh? Not going to sleep here tonight?" Alex made a pout with her mouth. Tatsuya smiled simply and shook his head. Then Alex pouted even more.

"Alright then, you two, be careful on your way ok?" Kagami took us to the door. I nodded my head and the same goes for Tatsuya.

"Yuu-chan! Come and play again alright!" Alex shouted while waving her hand from behind. "Yes!" I answered.

Tatsuya and I went to separated road. I looked up to the sky and thought, "Tatsuya-san and Kagami.. They really did look like brothers.." And keep walking until I reached my house.
