"Dai-chan! Where are you!? How dare yo-PIIP!" Aomine flipped shut his phone harshly at he heard a loud yell from the other line. For god's sake! He just wanted to go to the bazaar because he could get those Mai-chan's photo book with a lot cheap prices than usual. But then, he met that pink haired witch who dragged him into female clothing section.

He received a hard stare from the shopkeeper as he glanced at the woman's clothing.

He decided to ease his mind by going to a basketball court nearby. Gladly, he found an abandoned basket ball at the corner of the court. Since Tetsu beat him at winter cup last time, he made up his mind to keep training until he can surpass the new Light and Shadow duo. Though, the said new Light is weaker than him when he challenged the redhead at one on one game.

He stared at the ball which bounced lightly as he dribbled it. He lifted his hand along with the ball and do a lay up. The ball went in smoothly and bounced at the ground repeatedly before hitting the metal fence. He ran to pick the ball, but-

"Arf!"

A loud bark made him stopped in his track and turned around sharply on his heels. He stared at the black and white little husky, who were wagging its tail happily at the sight of the orange ball. "Hello, little guy." The tanned man greeted the dog as he smiled at the sight. "You know how to play basketball, huh?" he asked as he approached the dog to give a light pat on its head. He chuckled as the dog barked in agreement.

Strange enough, somehow, he felt something familiar as he stared of the blue eyes of the dog. Those blank blue eyes, but filled with amusement reminded him of someone.

"Tetsu?" he called out to the dog as if he figured out who was invading his mind after he stared at those identical sapphire orbs. "No way!" he almost said that out loud at the similarity of the dog and his former shadow.

The dog ignored him and barked loudly as it chased down the ball and play with its own feet. Stumbling as the ball hit it back in the face. Though, the dog doesn't bounce it off the ground, more like pushing it back and forth between him and the fence.

Aomine wondered if it's just the similarity of their eyes, because their behaviour is completely different. Tetsu will never show any emotions or act childish like the dog does. But then again, he might show his rare emotions if he was completely thrilled over something.

"YOU!"

His head turned sharply at the new voice behind him. It's not that foreign for him, and he completely knew who had called, or rather, shouted on him. "Put your finger down, Bakagami!" he shouted back at the redhead, who were approached him.

"Shut up. So you were the one who kidnapped Kuroko's dog." Kagami grunted as he saw the dog approached him and barked loudly. He shoo-ed the dog and glared at the tanned male. "Great, now I must find his owner too." the redhead sighed before he narrowed his eyes at the Touou Ace. "Don't tell me you kidnapped him to."

"Hell no! Why would I-" a pause. "Wait, did you just said that this dog is Tetsu's?" the other stared at him with disbelief. So that's why he felt something familiar when he saw those blank blue eyes! This things made sense now.

"Well, actually it's Seirin's. But because Kuroko brought that puppy in the first place, he were responsible for almost everything." the Seirin's Ace shrugged it off and then he turned around. "Take care of the dog while I find the owner!" he shouted then rushed out from basketball court area, leaving a dumbfounded Aomine with the happily playing dog.

"Well, it's a new thing that he wasn't challenging me at one-on-one."

"Ah, Kuro-chin." said the purple haired man, or rather, tall man, who were towered over him. Hand firmly planted on his hips to prevent him falling to the hard pavement.

"Good afternoon, Murasakibara-kun." Kuroko greeted as he went back to stand on his own feet. He cocked his head in confussion as he saw the usually sweet-toothed giant doesn't bring any sweets or snacks with him. Those bored and lazy expression was gone and changed by an almost furious stare. "Is there something wrong, Murasakibara-kun?" he asked.

"Muro-chin is gone, with my snacks. He told me to wait here, but I'm so bored so I walked around." the taller man sighed as he helped the other boy to stand on his own feet. "Did Kuro-chin met him the way here?" the voice seems desperate as Murasakibara clutched his stomach as he felt a hunger started to crept in it. "I'm hungry." he added. Kuroko could see a slight pout on the purple haired man's face.

"I'm afraid not, Murasakibara-kun. I'm here to search my lost dog. But, I could treat you some snacks before I resume my search." Kuroko offered a hand to the violet eyed man, who took it eagerly as the pout turned to a lazy smile. He knows very well, that the taller man would be happy if he's treated by sweets or his favorite snacks. Maybe he should get back to the park.

"But, Kuro-chin, should we help your senpai over there?" Murasakibara pointed to the certain tall, and black haired man with heavy-looking shopping bags on both of his arms.

"Ah..." Kuroko stared at the man and immediately approached him. The black haired man look surprised by Kuroko's sudden approach and almost drop all of the bags. "I'm sorry to startled you, Mitobe-senpai. Let me help." he held out his and, but the said man shook his head in a very fast motion. As if saying he could do it by himself.

But before the older male had any chance to move away from his underclassman and his friend, the shopping bag on his right arm were being lifted by the certain purple haired man.

"Oh.. Kuro-chin's senpai had a candy with him? Can I take it after we help him?" the taller of the three said as he keep staring at the paper bag, which was filled with candies and sweet crackers.

"Let us help, Mitobe-senpai." Kuroko said as he picked another bag and started to carry it. The older male only let out an inaudible sigh, and gave them a smile as they walked to another shopping area to buy the rest of the stuff in the shopping list.
