8:00 A.M.

Ugh... Kagami's head was throbbing. What happened? ... Ah! I remember now… Coach cooked for us at my place and she put in some weird vitamins and pills. The whole team passed out after eating the "food" but I remember that Coach put extra "special ingredients in Kuroko's share of "food." Damn, I hope Kuroko's okay… Kagami opened his eyes to see that the whole Seirin basketball team was asleep on the floor of his apartment. He went to go make some blueberry pancakes and soon almost the whole team woke up because of the wonderful aroma. The whole team except for Kuroko, I mean. Where's Kuroko? wondered the Seirin team. Junpei Hyuga, the team captain, took the blanket Kuroko was using and threw it to the side.

"Oi, Kuroko, wake up we got practice to-"

"Mhmmm"

The sight before the team was unbelievable. Instead of Kuroko, there lay a boy who couldn't be more than six lying on the couch where Kuroko slept. The whole team was speechless with shock. The boy had blue hair just like Kuroko's and was wearing the same clothes as Kuroko but since he was so small the clothes were too big for him. He had large blue eyes and looked quite sleepy while yawning and rubbing his eyes while sitting up. After sitting up, the boy looked at the Seirin team and smiled.

"Ohayo, Hyuuga-niichan. Ooh! My favorite blueberry pancakes can I have some, Kagami-niichan."

The Seiren team was completely dumbfounded. Was this Kuroko?

"Who are you? Why are you in my apartment?!" asked the clueless Bakagami.

"Kagami-niichan doesn't know Kuroko-chan," asked the child who was on the verge of tears.

Kuroko started to bawl saying that "Kagami-niichan" doesn't recognize "Kuroko-chan". As Kuroko cried, the Seirin basketball team gave the Bakagami the death glare. Kagami became flustered at the sight of the Kuroko crying and began to panic.

"Go-gomennasi Kuroko. I'm r-really sorry about making you cry. S-stop c-crying p-please."

"Kaga*sniff*mi-niisan recog*sniff*nizes Kuroko*sniff*-chan?" said Kuroko while sniffling and with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"O-Of course I do. I was just kidding.."

"Yay! Kagami-niichan knows Kuroko-chan. Can you please make me some of my favowite blueberry pancakes nii-chan?

Just then the coach of the Seirin basketball team charged in.

"What are you guys doing. I've been waiting for you guys in the basketball courts for over and hour. Hurry up, we have prac-"

"Riko-oneechan's here! Let's go play! I want to go play basketball with Riko-oniichan!" yelled the boy as he was hugging the coach who was standing in the doorway of Kagami's apartment.

"What's going on?" asks the flustered and blushing Riko.

As the team explained what happened, Riko soon had a serious face. Why does she look so serious all of a sudden? wondered the team.

"Have you guys forgotten something? Like maybe the fact that we have a PRACTICE MATCH WITH KAIJO IN AN HOUR!"

The basketball team looked at each other and the remembered the basketball game. Then they realized that without Kuroko and Kagami combined they had no chance of winning. But we can't just cancel the match with Kaijo an hour before the match… The team decided that they would play the practice match with Kaijo because it was a practice match that SEIRIN arranged.

An hour later, Seirin (minus Kuroko) was on the court getting ready for the tip-off at the beginning of the game. They decided to bring Kuroko along so that he can watch and told him to sit on the bench and pay attention to the game.
