New Beginings

Author's note: Salutations fellow mortals, this is a new story as you can see. Please enjoy.

It was a bright day in the streets of Tokyo. The sun was beaming as sakura petals fell from the trees. Two boys strolled through the gates, one bluenette and one blond. As they both walked through the crowd the bluenette was reading a small yellow book while dodging students.

It did not work very well because he ended up bumping into a dark skinned boy. He apologized and kept walking. The dark skinned boy looked confused since he did not see the person that bumped into him, instead he saw a blond boy seemingly talking to himself. He shrugged it off and kept talking with the pinknette.

The blond glanced at his brother noticing the book in his hand. "Tetsuya-cchi, you really shouldn't read whilst walking, also I think that person over there will stop you." The blond pointed to a boy with glasses and brown hair. He seemed to be trying to make people join the literature club.

The bluenette now dubbed as Tetsuya-cchi looked at the blond boy then opened his mouth to respond. "Do not worry Ryouta-oniisama, I can multitask. Also he is preoccupied by the greennette with that phone book."

Tetsuya was right, when the brunette tried to get him into the club, the greennette refused saying that the book he was holding was a phone book.

Ryouta looked really confused. "Why is he carrying a phone book?" He asked.

Tetsuya just placed a finger on his lips and pointed to the greennette.

"It was an oha-asa lucky item." The greenette said matter of factly.

Ryouta looked really creeped out. "A horoscope freak, great." He finished in a sarcastic tone.

Tetsuya jabbed Ryouta in the side. The said boy then looked at him with accusing eyes, while holding his aching side.

"Tetsuya-cchi, what was that for?" The blond asked.

The boy looked at him with a blank face. "Just because he listens to horoscopes does not mean he is a freak, also I am surprised that you know what horoscopes are."

Ryouta pouted. "Tetsuya-cchi! You're so mean!"

Tetsuya glared at him.

He then sighed. "Okay fine, i'm sorry."

Tetsuya smiled up at his big brother. He could be such an idiot sometimes, what if the greenette had heard him? He would have to bail him out of trouble like usual. He was brought out of his thoughts when a group of girls surrounded Ryouta.

Tetsuya heard some whispers from two girls standing off to the side.

"Hey, isn't he really handsome?"

"Yeah, so handsome!"

"We'd love you!"

Tetsuya looked really unimpressed at the attention that the girls were giving his older brother. he guessed that blond hair was really rare in japan, but not at home. He was the only sibling that has blue hair, his older brother and older sisters all have blond hair. He glared at his idiotic brother that was signing autographs, he grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the school.

"We do not have time for this," Tetsuya said with a flash of annoyance showing through his features "I have to sign up for the basketball club."

Ryouta looked at Tetsuya and smiled. "Okay, but I want to try out the other clubs first."

He noticed a letter coming out from Tetsuya's bag. Ryouta took the letter and opened it, viewing its contents.

'LET'S DO OUR BEST SO WE CAN GET GAME TIME REAL SOON TO FULFILL OUR PROMISE!'

Ryouta's eyes widened in reconition. "This letter is from Ogiwara-cchi!"

Tetsuya turned around and noticed the letter in the blonds hands. "Yes it is. He sent it in regards to our promise."

Ryouta smiled at the memory, it was the last year of elementary school and they noticed that it might be the last time they see Ogiwara (since they were going to different middle schools). Before leaving they made a promise to make it to the finals so they could play each other again.

"That's great, I can't wait to play him again!" Ryouta said while grinning.

Tetsuya looked at him indifferently, "How will you do that if you are not even signing up for the basketball team?"

Ryouta flinched at his little brother's straightforwardness. "Uh, um, well..." He trailed off trying to think of an appropriate answer. "Ah, I know! I can join in our second year!"

Ryouta looked at Tetsuya.

"That's okay, right Tetsuya-cchi?"

Tetsuya sighed and nodded. "If it makes you happy oniisama, you can join in our second year..." Ryouta looked relived at this statement. "But, you have to promise." Tetsuya held up his pinky finger.

Ryouta beamed and wrapped his pinky finger with his little brothers'. "Promise."

Tetsuya smiled and started to walk towards the basketball gym.

"Tetsuya-cchi!"

Tetsuya turned around at the sound of his name.

"Meet me at the gate after school!" Ryouta shouted.

Tetsuya nodded. "Hai, oniisama." He then continued to the gym.

Timeskip*

The boys had finished taking the entrance exams that would put them in either the first, second or third string. One of the coaches started to announce the results.

"I'm announcing the test results!"

The boys in the gym straightened up in anticipation.

"First, third string."

"#2 Nobou Saito"

The said boy answered and walked towards the third string coach.

"#4, Kazuhito Nakazawa."

"Here."

"#10, Hiromichi Fujita."

"#12, Yuji Takagiku."

The boys walked toward the coach.

"#28, Shunsuke Shimada."

"#30, Jun Tanaka."

More people moved, and Tetsuya closed his eyes hoping he would not be in the same string.

"#31 Kise Tetsuya, that is all."

Tetsuya opened his eyes and looked devistated at his name being called, he smiled sadly before a look of determination crossed his face. He quickly scurried to the line of third stringers.

"Next I am announcing the first stringers."

A few whispers were heard in the gym.

"Did he just say first string?"

"He's kidding, right?"

"#8, Aomine Daiki."

"#11, Midorima Shintaro."

"#23, Murasakibara Atsushi."

"#29, Akashi Seijuro."

Timeskip

Tetsuya stood in the gym with the rest of the boys that were put on the third string. They looked at the coach expecting him to say something.

"Those not in the second string, do your best next time."

"Hai." Replied the boys in unison.

Timeskip- end of school*

Tetsuya sighed while walking towards the school gates. He spotted Ryouta already standing there so he picked up his pace. Then Ryouta saw him and smiled.

"So how was basketball?" Ryouta asked, holding out his hand.

Tetsuya held his hand and looked at the ground sadly. "It was okay."

Ryouta glanced at his brother, noticing his sad expression. "Don't give me that. Tetsuya-cchi looks really sad."

Tetsuya sighed, he really could not get anything past his brother. "I am in the third string."

"Tetsuya-cchi, you shouldn't worry." He fished out something from his bag. "Ogiwara-cchi is still a benchwarmer and barely plays in games, I am sure you will improve in time."

"Oniisama," Tetsuya gasped seeing the letter in Ryouta's hand. "How did you get that letter before I did?"

Ryouta just gave him a devilish smile. "I have my ways.~"

Tetsuya looked at his brother and started to back away from him. "Oniisama is scary."

Ryouta looked shocked. "Tetsuya-cchi! Come back!"

Timeskip- tomorrow morning*

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Tetsuya shifted in his bed getting annoyed because of his loud alarm clock.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The clock showed no signs of stopping and Tetsuya was already fed up, he opened a draw that contained a hammer and hit the clock with it. Tetsuya placed the hammer back in the draw and closed it. He then turned to the other side.

Right after he became comfortable, his door slammed open revealing a happy blond standing in the doorway.

"Come on, Tetsuya-cchi!" Ryouta whined. "You have to get up." He then yanked the covers off the smaller boy.

Tetsuya lifted his head and got into a sitting position with a dark aura surrounding him. "Why did you did you disturb my sleep?" At this point Ryouta was terrified.

"Eto, anou..." Ryouta trailed off.

"I will give you 5 seconds before a personally end your life." Tetsuya said in a dark tone.

Ryouta mentally punched himself for waking the bluenette up in such a manner. He knew that Tetsuya was not a morning person and was to be feared when in this state.

"Five."

"Tetsuya-cchi, wait!"

"Four."

"Three."

"Two-"

"If you don't get up we wont be able to go to school, if we do not go to school you will not be able to play basketball, if you don't play basketball then you will not reach the first string, if you don't reach the first string then you will not fulfill your promise to Ogiwara-cchi and..." Ryouta was abruptly cut off when Tetsuya decided to answer.

"Gomen'nasai oniisama, I will get up now." The blue haired boy said as he walked past the stunned blond.

Tetsuya walked passed Ryouta and out the door. There were two girls smiling awkwardly at him. One of these girls had long straight golden hair and looked a bit more mature than the girl next to her which also has golden hair but it was curly. The girl with straight hair was wearing a navy blue business suit, complete with a skirt. The other girl with curly hair was wearing a white shirt with light blue at the ends of the sleeves and a yellow bow tie, with a light blue checked skirt. Her nails were painted in different colours and she had a blue bow in her hair.

" Hatsuko-neesama, kioko-neesama? Why are you outside of my door?" Tetsuya asked looking at the two girls.

"Aaah!" Kioko (curly hair) jumped. "Tet-chan you scared me."

Tetsuya ignored the girl and looked at his other sister. "Onee-sama, why are you here?"

The older girl stood up and dusted herself off. She then looked at Tetsuya. "Well Tetsuya, we were walking past your room then you opened the door and scared the life out of Kioko." Hatsuko lied effortlessly. Kioko looked up at her sister in awe, she was so good at lying. (Not really.)

"I see," Tetsuya replied nodding his head. "Kioko-oneesama, you should get of the floor. Your uniform will get dirty." With that the girl stood up.

Kioko peered into Tetsuya's room to see Ryouta giving them a suspicious look, not believing the lie one bit.

Tetsuya bowed his head a little and said. "If you will excuse me Oneesama's, I have to get ready for school." With that he walked in the direction of the bathroom.

The two girls watched him leave then turned back to the blond in Tetsuya's room. He was fixing the bed sheets and took Tetsuya's uniform.

"Why did you really come here, oneesan's?" Ryouta asked.

This time Kioko spoke. "We came to see the drama, of course. A woken up Tet-chan is an angry Tet-chan." She continued. " Also Ryou-chan's face was hilarious." Ryouta sweatdropped.

"Kioko-cchi, you're so mean!" Ryouta whined. "Is that why you came too, Hatsuko-cchi?"

The older girl nodded. "Yes it is. I need my entertainment in the morning." Ryouta looked at her disbelievingly.

"I can't believe you two," the blond sighed. "Well anyway, I need to bring this uniform to Tetsuya-cchi."

POOF! AND HE WAS GONE (I got bored XD)

Bathroom

Tetsuya was relaxing in the warm water of the bath. After this there would be no more relaxing as he needed to start training today. He shifted a bit to get more comfortable and then he felt two arms wrap around him.

"Oniisama?" Tetsuya said lightly blushing.

"Tetsuya-cchi! You are soooo cute when you blush!!" Ryouta said squeezing the life out of the smaller boy.

The bluenette just left him and they sat in silence for a few minutes. (Tetsuya's sitting Ryouta's kneeling, but meh details~)

"Tetsuya-cchi, you have to get out now." Ryouta said poking Tetsuya's cheek.

"Okay," He stood up and stepped out of the bath. Tetsuya turned his head a bit, looking for something. Ryouta wrapped a towel under his arms and started drying his little brother off. They both smiled at each other.

Time skip-school*

Tetsuya waked out of his classroom and towards the third gym. He flipped open his phone and texted his brother.

[To: Ryouta-oniisama

From: Tetsuya

Subject: Meet me at the third gym

Message: I just finished class and I am going to practice. Join me their when you are finished club hunting.]

Tetsuya then proceeded to the third gym.

Third gym*

Tetsuya looked at the ball in his hands and dribbled it down the court, he then dribbled it around some cones. Tetsuya then tried shooting the ball, it failed.

A few minutes later a burnt boy walked into the gym. Tetsuya turned around, "Oniisama?" The tanned boy screamed and crouched clutching his head.

Tetsuya had a good look at the boy who was trembling in fear, this was not his older brother. "Aomine-kun?"

The boy looked up and stood up composing himself. "There's been a rumor lately of a ghost in this gym, so I assumed that was the case."

"You should not assume things, Aomine-kun," Tetsuya blinked. "I was just getting extra practise."

"Cool, not many are doing it. Not even people in the first string." Aomine replied. He looked at Tetsuya. They both stared at each other. "That's it, I've made up my mind."

Tetsuya looked at him silently saying to go on.

"I'll practise with you everyday from now on. Let's share the court someday." Aomine smiled.

"Is that okay?" Tetsuya asked.

"Baka, it's not about if it's okay or not! Nobody who plays basketball can be a bad guy." Aomine said. He lifted his fist up to Tetsuya. Tetsuya smiled and bumped fists with him.

"Tetsuya-cchi! I'm here!" An annoying voice rang out, running to Tetsuya.

"Ah, oniisama." Was all he got to say before he was glomped by Ryouta.

"Tetsuya-cchi were you lonely? I'm sorry, next time I will come quicker and..." Ryouta rambled. Tetsuya just sat there letting his brother fuss over him.

The burnt basketball ace stared at the strange scene in front of him. Ryouta finally noticed him and stared suspiciously. "Who are you and why are you with my Tetsuya-cchi?" He hugged him protectively.

Aomine raised his hands up in defence. "I just met him here when he was practicing."

Ryouta seems to believe him, but not entirely. "Tetsuya-cchi, do you have more information." He looked at the bluenette in his arms.

"Hai, this is Aomine Daiki-kun. He is a first year like us, but is in the first string of the basketball club."Tetsuya informed.

Aomine stared at the blond suspiciously. "Who are you?"

"Kise Ryouta, older brother of Tetsuya-cchi." Ryouta replied.

"Can you play basketball?" Aomine asked.

"Yep, it's my favourite pastime." The blond beamed.

Aomine still did not really like the blond but pushed it asside. "Okay, anyway let's practise our basketball skills."

Time skip*

Ryouta and Tetsuya were sitting on a couch in the living room watching the walking dead. The blond glanced at the smaller teen that seemed to be enjoying the movie. "Tetsuya-cchi."

The boy looked at him. "Yes, oniisama?"

"What did Aomine-kun say to you in the gym?" Ryouta asked.

Tetsuya tilted his head remembering what the burnt boy had said to him. "Aomine-kun said that he is going to practice with me and that we should stand on the same court soon."

Ryouta's eyes darkened a bit at this. No one was going to take away his little brother, he was all his.

"Okay, that's fine. Call me or text me whenever you are going to go practice." Ryouta replied.

Tetsuya smiled one of his rare smiles. "Hai, oniisama."

Next day at teacher's office*

Tetsuya stood in front of the third string coach as he waited for him to speak.

"Let me be frank. It is impossible for you to be on our team."

Tetsuya's eyes widened in shock.

"I know how hard you've been training till now. But even then your placement has fallen." The coach paused. "Quitting the team isn't an order it's up to you to decide."

Tetsuya noded and bowed and left the office. Outside Ryouta was standing waiting for him. He noticed the bluenettes solemn expression. "Tetsuya-cchi, are you okay? What's wrong?"

Tetsuya glanced at his brother then shifted his line of sight to the floor. "It is nothing, I am fine."

Ryouta was not satisfied with this answer and pulled the smaller boy into a hug. "Come on Tetsuya-cchi, speak to me, let it all out."

Tetsuya started shaking, his body overwhelmed with sobs. "What should I do?"

The blond rubbed circles in his back affectionately. "Do about what?"

Tetsuya looked up. "Basketball, my ranking got even lower." He hiccuped. "The coach said it is my choice if I want to leave the team."

Ryouta's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. The promise with Ogiwara-cchi would be ruined if he was not in the first string. "Don't worry Tetsuya-cchi we'll figure this out." He smiled wiping his tears.

Tetsuya smiled back. "Okay, oniisama."

Third gym*

"Oniisama, could you wait outside for a bit." Tetsuya asked.

Ryouta looked confused. "Huh, why?"

"I do not think Aomine-kun likes you very much and I want to talk to him alone." Tetsuya replied.

The blond thought for a long time staring at his younger brother. The bluenette just sighed and did the best puppy eyes he could manage. In a matter of seconds all the blonds defences had crumbled and he allowed the younger boy to go into the gym alone.

Tetsuya pushed open the door to see the overcooked boy in a shooting position. As he released the ball the the light bluenette got his attention.

"Aomine-kun." He said.

The said boy stumbled and the ball ended up hitting the rim and bounced into the paint area. "Hey! That was going to be my 20th in a row!"

"I just wanted to tell you that I am thinking of quitting the basketball club." Tetsuya said ignoring the previous comment.

"Huh? Why's that?" The dark blue haired boy questioned.

"I do love basketball...but it seems like I cannot be of any use to the team at all. The tealnette said sadly.

"Nobody's completely useless to the team." The navy bluenette replied. "Even if you couldn't play in games...Someone who stays later than everyone else to practise can't possibly be completely useless." And he kept going. "I won't say you'll definitely make it if you don't give up. But if you do give up, there's nothing left."

Tetsuya looked up to Aomine who had a fire of determination in his eyes.

Outside of the gym

"Tetsuya-cchi, is really taking his time..." Ryouta grumbled to himself. "Whatever he has to say to Aomine-kun can't be that important, right?"

"Excuse me." A voice rang out. Ryouta turned to see a rednette, greenette and purplenette. The rednette continued. "Is Aomine in this gym?"

The blond nodded and the trio proceeded to walk inside the gym. Ryouta followed them soon after worried about his Tetsuya-cchi.

In the gym*

"Aomine." A redhead said walking towards the duo with two other people behind him. The navy bluehead turned around.

"Akashi." he said.

The rednette now dubbed as Akashi continued speaking. "I thought I hadn't seen you lately-" He was cut off by a very familiar voice.

"TETSUYA-CCHI!" The blond shouted while running up to Tetsuya.

The bluenette side stepped and the blond ended up crashing into the wall. "Tetsuya-cchi why did you dodge me?" Ryouta asked.

Tetsuya replied in a deadpanned voice. "If I did not dodge oniisama that would have been me crashing into the wall, also oniisama already hugged me not too long ago."

The blond cried crocodile tears.

"Kise?" Aomine said. Two pairs of eyes looked at him. "Oh right, you're both Kise..." He scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Then, Ryouta where did you come from?"

The said boy stopped his fake crying. "Tetsuya-cchi said I should wait outside because he wanted to talk to you alone."

Akashi coughed causing all eyes to go to him. He didn't like getting cut off, he had only just noticed that the teal headed teen was in the gym. He looked at said boy. "What's your name?"

The tealnette looked at the rednette. "Kise Tetsuya, and you are?"

Akashi hid an amused smile, usually people would not have enough courage to ask his name. "Akashi Seijurou." He turned to Ryouta. "I'm sorry, but could he come with me for a bit."

Ryouta glanced at his watch. "Sure, but I'm coming too."

Akashi nodded.

AFTER TALKING WITH AKASHI (I got lazy)

Ryouta and Tetsuya were walking down the sidewalk with Aomine in tow.

"So you talked to Akashi about what you can do for the team, right?" Aomine asked.

Ryouta shook his head at the dark skinned boy. "Were you listening to anything Tetsuya-cchi just said.

"Shut up Ryouta! I was listening!" Aomine replied.

Tetsuya ignored the comments and continued speaking. "I am not a good shooter, so I thought it would either be passing or assisting."

The burnt boy looked ahead of them. "Well Akashi isn't almightyeither, so maybe it's something only you can do?"

Tetsuya looked at Aomine curiously. "For instance?"

Aomine scrunched his face up in thought. "Like a pass that totally bends and stuff." He crossed his arms over one another. "Like, woosh!"

Ryouta stared at the burnt boy like he was an idiot (which he is) as he repeated the 'wooshing'. "Enough, you look like a moron."

Tetsuya spotted a bookstore. "Oniisama, can we go to the bookstore?"

Ryouta looked a bit confused. "Uh, sure."

The tealnette looked at the burnt boy. "We are going to stop here."

Aomine smiled. "Sure, see you tomorrow."

As the dark blue haired boy walked away, the other two walked into the bookstore. Tetsuya walked down an isle with Ryouta following close behind.

"So what are you looking for?" Ryouta questioned.

"I do not know." Tetsuya replied still looking at the books.

Ryouta sweatdropped, his little brother can be very blunt at times.

Tetsuya spotted some books that read: COIN MAGIC/ CARD MAGIC/ EASY MAGIC/ ENCHANTING MAGIC. He picked up a book from that section and read the title: TECHNIQUES FOR GUIDING LINES OF SIGHT.

The bluenette turned to his older brother who was looking at some manga. 'I think I have read that manga.' "Oniisama I found the book that I was looking for."

The blond looked at the smaller boy. "Cool, I've found some books I like too." He picked up ten volumes of the manga. "Lets go pay."

The boys payed and walked home.

Author's note: Done. That took more than a week to do, but because of my will to complete anything I start it got finished. Well the first chapter at least, anyway is it good? Should I continue? I mean this was troublesome to finish but I am willing to continue.

Farewell.
