Kuroko and His Siblings: Athletic Royals [1rst version]

Ch. 6: A Stop by a Sushi Restauraunt

Bold- English

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Last time...

By the time the fourth quarter was over, Seirin learned several things that day. Just because you have won a large tournament did not mean that you are better than other players. There is always someone better than you and there is always room for improvement.

And the score of the practice game between Seirin and Shutoku? It went up, but it remained tied. Tenri kept it that way throughout the entire game.

Normal POV

Midorima's right eye twitched. Tetsuya calmly drank his vanilla milk shake. Kagami ordered his food like he was chanting a spell. Tenri quietly read her menu as Takao told her stories of their games and his(Midorima) private life from the previous year. In the background the rest of Seirin and Shutoku talked to each other quite noisily. How did he got into this mess?

It all started twelve minutes right after when they had left Seirin High's school ground. They were on the way to the train station when Takao complained that he was hungry. Tenri then chose to comment that there was a sushi restaurant that also serves noodles nearby that her brother recommended to her. It didn't take that long for them to reach the place-only seven minutes. When they had settled in the place, Seirin walked in.

The sushi restaurant didn't have enough tables or seats at the counter, so somebody thought that it would be a good idea to put Midorima, Takao, Kagami, Tetsuya, and Tenri together. Tenri sat on Midorima's right side and across from Tetsuya, who sat beside Kagami. Takao got one whole side to himself. The other side was against the wall.

Tenri suddenly put down her menu, interrupting Takao's story of Midorima crying after his first lost. "I'll take four orders of tamagoyaki, two of amaebi(raw shrimp), three of unagi(fresh water eel broiled with a sweet sauce, two of California rolls, and three of inarizushi(fried tofu pouch with sushi rice)," she said. "And one small bowl of red bean soup. Can use half of the rice you would normally use in one of each sushi order except for the inarizushi and the Califormia rolls, please? And also I would also like to order take out. Two tofu tamagoyaki and five more inarizushi as well as a tofu udon."

"Kuroko-san, you ordered too much!" Midorima stuttered. "How in the world are we going to eat all of that?!"

"You're not going to eat it," growled Tenri. "That's my food. Not yours. Order your own. Besides, I need replace the calories that I used up earlier. Order your own red bean soup."

"Don't worry." said Tetsuya. "Tenri can stomach all of what she ordered here."

Tenri took out a black pen and a red pen and started to doodle a picture of amaebi in a notebook.

"But why order takeout?" Takao asked as the others gave their orders to the waiter.

"It's for Tora." Tenri answered, not looking up from her drawing. "She can't cook right now. Apparently the student council president from her school got on her nerves, so she took the train right after Rakuzan finished their last class yesterday morning and came here to work off her anger by repolishing our court floors."

"That reminds me, where is she now?" Tetsuya asked.

"She's in my apartment sleeping." Tenri took a sip of water from her cup. "She had me up the entire night last night talking about her troubles, so I had to skip morning classes to catch up on my own sleep in the nurse's office. I borrowed notes from Midorima-kun. Akashi-san is picking her up first thing tomorrow morning, so I don't have to worry much. I just hope he doesn't stress her out any further, being her fiancé and such."
