"What exactly are you doing here, Kuroko?" Kagami asked the other as he continued on munching on his burgers. He was already halfway through his mountain.

"I was sitting here from the beginning, Kagami-kun." Kuroko sat sill, drinking his milkshake. His eyes moving every once in a while, following other customers in the restaurant or the people outside. "I like analyzing others."

'Analyzing others-?'

"Kagami-kun," Kurokos voice snapped the tall teen out of his small train of thoughts. He stopped unpacking his last burger and fixed his eyes onto the smaller boy. Something in his chosen tone told the American to stop and pay close attention. "Please follow me after you finish that."

The light blue haired male led the way to a nearby basketball court.

"Okay, so why are we here in the dark?"

"I want to see what you can do, obviously."

"Kuroko..." A sigh. "I don't play basketball just to have fun. I play it so go against strong players."

'He really is like him, huh?' Kuroko looked to side before making his way to a nearby bench, placing his bag onto it. He opened it and pulled a basketball out of it, feeling the rubber against his fingers.

"I've heard you were in a 'legendary' team, huh?" Kagami placed his hands into his pockets smugly, feeling very confident all of a sudden. "Strong guys have a certain smell to them, but you're weird. You don't smell like anything."

"What are you, a dog?"

"Wha- I am not a freaking dog, you bastard!"

"Kagami-kun, if you were curious, you could have simply said so. Sometimes I don't understand your thought process. Let's play One-on-One."
Kuroko threw the ball to Kagami, wanting to see what he could and would do. His blank gaze changed. His blue eyes grew intense, they changed into an electric blue. The Analyzer of the 'Generation of Miracles' was present. His gaze solely on his opponent.

Kagami dribbled the ball slowly, unaware of the current changes happening. The tall male let his confidence get the better of him, not paying much attention to the smaller. This little mistake let to Kuroko stealing the ball back and simply vanishing. 'Wha-!?'

"If you don't pay attention on court, you will lose."

Kuroko swiftly made his way to the hoop with the ball before shooting. Kagami turned around, shock on his face as he watched the ball circle the hoop before falling in it. Kuroko won.

"Kagami-kun you are quite strong, but I do not care about who is the strongest. It is simply a matter of point of view." The light blue haired boy said, his electrifying gaze on the taller one before letting his analyzing side simmer down. "I am different from you and my past teammates."

"I'm a shadow."

The next day at club practice, Riko and Hyuga stood near the open doors, watching as the rain fell.

"We still have time left, Coach." Hyuga said. His body turned away from his friend, but his eyes were watchful. "What should we do?"
