Summary: A short story on the recording processes of the official character songs of the cast from Kuroko no Basuke.

A/N: I got really hooked on Kuroko no Basuke, and this idea suddenly came to me when I was listening their character songs. Also, I might not include all the character songs here, but I'll include most of them.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke, the characters, and the character songs.

Chapter One: Michi no Tochuu

It was a Friday evening and a tall redhead was seen sitting at the window seat of Maji fast food restaurant, eating a pile of burgers and talking to himself-

"Kagami-kun, what do you think about singing?"

-or not.

A boy with light blue hair could be spotted sitting across him if you are very observant.

"Huh? Singing?" The redhead, now identified as 'Kagami', stared at his companion. "Well, I suppose it's normal. What's with the sudden question, Kuroko?"

"The question just popped into my head."

Kagami raised an eyebrow but shrugged it off. Finishing his last bite, he cleared the tray and walked out with Kuroko.

"Hey! The red-haired guy in front! Wait!"

The two stopped in their tracks as a stranger ran up to them.

"What do you want?"

The stranger had orange hair and deep green eyes, wearing a suit that fitted his lean figure perfectly.

"I'm Mouni Ren from IRO Music Corporation, and we are currently having a programme where we get normal people to publish their own singles. You really stand out on the streets, so I was thinking of inviting you to this programme."

"Huh? No way."

The man seemed very surprised at Kagami's reply. He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted.

"Why not, Kagami-kun. I think it is great."

"WAHH! Where did you come from?" Ren took a step back at Kuroko's appearance.

"I was here from the very beginning."

"If you think its great why don't you join?" Kagami retorted, ignoring Ren's outburst.

"I will join if Kagami-kun joins."

"EHHH?" Ren seemed surprised. "Well, we'll be more than delighted if you participate too."

Kuroko's… singing… I wanna hear it… Wait, what am I thinking? Lightly shaking his head, Kagami returned his attention back to the two, only to realize that Kuroko had already agreed to the man, for both of their participation.

"Well then, have a good day." Kuroko bowed to Ren.

"Err… You too." Ren returned the gesture stiffly.

"What just happened?" Kagami finally questioned after the orange hair was out of their sight.

"We'll be recording tomorrow, 10am at IRO Music Corporation."

"I see… Wait, what? Why did you agree for me too?"

"I did say I'll only do it if Kagami-kun does. Well then, I'll see you tomorrow. Let's meet at the basketball court and head there together." Kuroko said expressionlessly before parting with Kagami, who was still trying to process what happened.

the next morning, 9.30am

"Good morning, Kagami-kun"

"WOAH! Stop appearing out of nowhere!"

"You should have expected this since we arranged to meet here."

Kagami sighed, why did I come here again? I could have just ditched Kuroko. 'Cause you really wanna hear him sing. Oh, right. Wait, what? LOL, snap out of it. He's leaving!~

He turned to where Kuroko was, and saw that his second conscious (if there was such a thing) was right. Kuroko was at least 20 feet away from him.

at IRO Music Corporation

"Ah, you must be Kagami Taiga-kun, right? Well, what are you waiting for, get in the recording room. We only have till 11am today, since someone else had booked the place after."

Kagami was ushered into the room, handed a headset and score, and told to begin when he is ready.

What the heck? There aren't even any lyrics on this! And how did they know that I can read music notes? Kuroko doesn't know that…

"Alright, just relax and sing whatever words that comes to your mind. Ready?"

What? Kagami hurriedly put on the headset and went in front of the mike. He scowled at Kuroko's expressionless face. This is your entire fault, Kuroko. Remember this! I'll see how you do when you record!

after 45 minutes…

"Alright, it should be fine now, let's do the real recording and finish this up!" The mixer seemed very amazed at Kagami's voice and abilities. They had been refining it for the past half an hour.

The music started playing and Kagami took a deep breathe. Clearing his mind, he opened his mouth and lyrics starting flowing out.

Michi no Tochuu by Kagami Taiga (C. Tomoki)

Kyou no owari no kaze to nakama no koe
Yuuyakeiro no kata o narabete aruku

Onaji omoi ga kureta deai (We need each other)
Are kara dore dake (Do my best for us)
Ore tachi tsuyoku nareta ka na

Itsu no hi ka itsu no hi ka kokoro kara no egao de
Issho ni yorokobiaeru you ni
Kore kara mo hitasura ni hikari ga shimesu ashita he
Aserazu jibun no pace de
Doko made mo tsuzuiteku michi no tochuu de kyou mo
Owaranai yume to aruiterun da
Mada tooku kanawanai ore nara ore de ii sa
Zettai akiramenai kara

Kagami opened his eyes at the last note died off.

"It's prefect! Okay, thank you for your participation, Kagami-kun!"

He let out a sigh of relief. This singing business was tougher than he thought. Alright, now it's your turn to suffer, Kuroko.

"Good work, Kagami-kun"

"Yeah."

"WAH! Where did this guy come from?"

"I was here from the beginning."

"Really? I didn't notice your presence at all."

"its fine, I'm used to it."

"Err… Are you Kuroko Tetsuya-kun?"

Kuroko gave a nod.

The mixer gave a sigh. "What should we do? I thought you didn't come today so we spent all the time on Kagami-kun. We can't record for you today."

"Well, I don't really mind not recording-"

"No! You must do it. You said you would if I did. And it's your turn to suffer." Kagami glared at Kuroko.

The other two sweat dropped at Kagami's declaration.

"Well then, why don't we arrange another day for you to come then?"

"Okay, I don't mind."

The mixer let out a breath of relief. "Alright then, I'll contact you again."

"Thank you very much." Kuroko bowed to the mixer, and exited, Kagami following behind him, seemingly unhappy about Kuroko's lack of suffering.

"You should seriously work on being more visible."

"It can't be helped. And it's better for me this way. For various reasons."

Kagami groaned. They exited IRO Music Corporation together, but was met with yet another surprise.

"EHHHHH? Kuroko-chii! And Kagami-chii too! What are you two doing here?"

-To Be Continued-

Alright! Done! What did you think about the first chapter?

I hope you liked it! I'll try to update when I can, but I can't promise that it'll be regular since I'm very busy this year. !

Anyway, reviews are greatly appreciated. So are constructive criticisms. But negative (and annoying) personal opinion about how some character can just "go to hell" or stuff like that is strictly disallowed.

Thank you for reading my story!
