The shrill call of a whistle resounded around the gym as a hand went up into blond locks in irritation. Kise Ryouta, first year highschool student at Kaijou High as well as being one of the generation of miracles sighed in frustration. How many shots had he missed today? Enough to piss off Kasamatsu that he must of had permanent footprints all over his head now. It truly wasn't his fault that he continued to practice in such a slumping manor. He personally blamed his emotions and the fact that one of his best friends and CRUSH just so happened to tell him that morning that he wouldn't be joining him on the team. At first Kise thought it was just a joke as he stared at Kuroko Tetsuya, the man himself bowing slightly in apology before standing back up straight. His whole demeanor as he stood was blank as ever. Even when he did smile it was sometimes undetectable for most people. But Kise wasn't just anyone, everything about the bluenette intrigued him. It had been this way since Kuroko had taken him on as an instructor back at Teiko. Although at first he didn't really understand what was so special about this man, until he passed, and boy could he pass! It was then that Kise had started to fall. HARD.

"Oi!" Was the only sound heard before Kasamatsu connected another kick to his cheek. The instant sting the only pain that Kise felt now as he fell back onto the floor. He held his cheek and let out a soft groan in agony. He supposed that he got kicked so much that he'd built up a tolerance to it now.

"Ow, ow, ow!" He complained as Kasamatsu continued to assault him.

"It's what you get for practicing with no focus idiot!" Now when Kasamatsu was angry, he was ANGRY. His whole eyebrows thing scared Kise to death..he wanted to just reach out a pluck away those fuzzy caterpillars. But he refrained as his captain finally let up. "Alright let's hear it. What's the issue now 'Mr. Popular?' One of your fans go crazy and try to mug you or something?" He really wasn't asking for Kise to spill, mostly it was an ORDER and well Kise didn't really want to get kicked again...

"My best friend said he wouldn't come to Kaijou with me this morning.." He muttered, huffing dejectedly. "I thought it would work since he and I were on the same team in middle school and basically were picked on all the time!" He whined, putting his hands up to his face in utter defeat.

"Honestly." Kasamatsu stood, offering his hand to Kise. "I heard that you were the only one to be picked on since you made first string quite easily, and also, who said we needed another one like you? Don't underestimate us Kise, we're stronger than we look." He gave his award winning shit eating grin then as Kise took the hand as he was hauled to his feet.

"So mean, Kasamacchi is so mean." He was almost dropped back to the floor as Kasamatsu suddenly let go of his hand.

"Kise, what did I say about calling me that?!" He raged as the blond suddenly gulped, he was in for it now. "Twenty laps around the school. Hop to it copy cat!" He hollered after him as Kise took off. If one thing he knew for sure about Kaijou it was that Kasamatsu took his role as captain very seriously, but it's really one of the things that Kise admired now that he was actually thinking more as a team player than a player only relying on himself. He knew Kaijou was strong he never doubted it for a moment but...it would have made his life a little better if his 'instructor' were to be here too. Days would go by quickly with Kurokocchi here. As well as running laps around the school, which Kise found himself doing often. Of course that was all thanks to his lovely captain who loved him so much.

The blond literally dripped in sweat as he finally finished his twenty laps around the school. It hadn't really been that hard since he was used to doing so much of this already. No, the hard part was avoiding all the girls who apparently thought it was a good idea to follow Kise as he ran laps. The blond hadn't really thought much of it since he was used to this sort of thing, the only difference however was that one of the girls actually touched him. Now he wasn't about losing it over something like that but she had tugged rather hard and almost made him fall. He was about to take action, his own steps faltering out of a run when a voice he knew all too well screeched from the hill his captain was currently standing on.

"Lay another finger on the idiot and I'll personally make sure he has a body guard while he runs next time!" He warned the girl, eyes and eyebrows glaring at her as she backed off. "Kise's running punishment runs right now, so lay off would you!" He was getting closer to the group of girls who quickly dispersed as he neared the now jogging model.

"See you really do care~" He cooed, receiving a slap upside the head.

"Idiot, the only thing I hate more than the fact that you're this flaunty, pretty boy is when you half ass something." He grumped, jogging alongside the other. "Now hurry up and push the pace! You're way to slow."

With that Kise quickly rushed around the school, noticing that now most of his team mates had joined him in his punishment, he knew the reason was so then his fans wouldn't get any ideas about touching him again.

His eyes closed as he laid against the lush grass, relishing in the coolness that seeped into his body. He knew he was supposed to be stretching after running but...he suddenly felt like he just needed to lay here. Doing nothing at all. That was until..

"Kise-kun." Now that voice he could pick out of a crowd of a million people. It was the one he all day long had yearned to hear. Although he didn't exactly want to forgive Kuroko for turning down his offer to join Kaijou, he knew sooner or later he would since he had a soft spot for the blue-eyed passing specialist.

"What do you want Kurokocchi? Can't you see I'm about to pass out here?" He let the little bit of agitation slip into his words as rolled over onto his side. Away from where he thought Kuroko was.

"Kise-kun." Was the response again, but Kise just chose to ignore it. Heck he would have ignored the other all day if it wasn't for a foot suddenly digging into his spine. With a yelp he was up, back straight as he rubbed his newest wound softly.

"Kurokocchi..." His sentence trailed off as he noticed his little bluenette was not anyway close to him but instead his newest light stood almost a top the model. He really wasn't someone the model was very fond of, especially since Kuroko liked to hang out with this guy most of the time. He was his main competition when it came to Kuroko.

"Those were some pretty bold words earlier today." He spoke down to Kise as though he was a child. How annoying. This only grated on his nerves more as he stood, brushing himself off.

"Well for Kurokocchi I would say them over and over again to get him away from Seirin who only formed this past year." He shrugged, walking over to the shorter man and slinging an arm around his shoulder. "Besides Kaijou and I would be a better fit for him! I've also known him longer." He really wasn't making any major points here and the one who he had his arm around suddenly disappeared from his grasp. It wasn't like he disappeared or anything, just that he took the arm and pulled away from it.

"I would refrain from saying those things if I were you Kise-kun, we aren't weak. Besides you lack something I need. I admit you are strong, but I am a shadow." He shrugged, thinking that was a good enough answer as he returned a blank stare to Kise.

"I could become a light if I really tried." He insisted. "Aominecchi was yours before at Teiko but that doesn't mean I can't learn." This only earned him a rather cautious stare from Kuroko as well as a snort from Kagami.

"He doesn't need a light, he's got a perfectly capable one right here. Besides whoever this Aominecchi is will be crushed thanks to us." Sure Kagami had a right to be cocky, he was good at basketball and the pressure he exerted when he played was slightly intimidating, but in his current state the brute wouldn't last a first quarter against the ace of the Generation of Miracles.

"I'm not doubting you nor Kurokocchi's abilities but I know that Aominecchi is strong. Very strong." This was met with a challenging glare in Kamgami's eyes.

"Alright well thanks for the input but Kuroko here needs some more practice with his shots. Lord knows he needs it." He grumbled as Kise's face suddenly fell. Wait if they left then...they would be alone again together!

"W-Wait!" He piped up as the two were quite a few steps away now. "I want to play you one on one for Kuroko's time. Whoever wins can teach him how to shoot." He offered, knowing full well that Kagami would be in no position to say no. Kise just hoped the idiot hadn't gotten any stronger since this morning.

"You're on pretty boy." He sneered as Kuroko looked between them in utter shock. Since when had he become the source of the feud between the two?

"Hey don't I get a say in this?" He tried but the two were already walking at a fast pace to the basketball courts. He swore he didn't know why he hung out with either of them. Always so hard headed! But his feet took him after the duo anyway, knowing he should be there in case something were to happen.

"Just so you know I won't be going easy on you Kagami. You should just hand Kurokocchi over now since you get to see him every day at school, give me a chance to at least talk to him." His voice was sincere as he said this, besides who wouldn't want to spend more time with the person who you held so dearly in your heart?

"Good. Wouldn't have it any other way. But be prepared to lose Kise. I don't intend to lose to someone like you." He huffed, taking off his shirt as he threw that and his bag onto the side bench. Underneath he wore his jersey, probably from practice this afternoon. Kise could only smirk as he was already dressed in his practice uniform.

"Trust me, you may want to mentally prepare yourself for your defeat." Now the testosterone was really circulating through the two men as they stood toe to toe. Rage evident as they glared at each other. Neither backing down or allowing the other any room.

"Kagami-kun, Kise-kun." They were snapped out of their trance as Kuroko suddenly stood there, wearing his own jersey. "Good luck." That instantly alone made Kise want to win. More than anything, he wanted to be the one to teach his own instructor something as basic as shooting. Not to mention that just gave him an excuse to touch the other.

"Luck is for pansies." Kagami all but roared as Kuroko rolled his eyes. The guy was a complete idiot by Kise's standards as he softly brought a hand down on Kuroko's head, ruffling his hair slightly.

"Just make sure you're cheering for me okay, Kurokocchi~" He cooed as his hand was pushed away.

"I'm just here to referee, nothing more." He explained with a hard look at Kise. That sort of stung, but he shook it off, instead taking a stance for tip off.

"Get ready to lose." Was the last thing he heard as Kuroko threw the ball up in the air. The red-haired ace and the blond small forward leaping in the air, both hoping to be the first to touch the ball as well as score the first point.

A/N: So thus ends the first chapter of my KiKuro fic, I don't know why I love this pairing so much...but I just think it would be a cute dynamic. Although who am I kidding when I say I ship Kuroko with EVERYONE! Especially the GOM. But I hope to update this as soon as possible! But thanks again for reading. ^^
