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

Special Story: The Christmas After the Incident

Japan:

Tetsuya looked out of his window as the rare snowflakes fell to the ground. This was the first Christmas that he spent without his other siblings. He smiled sadly at the basketball that his elder sibling sent him and the other basketball related products sent by their younger sisters. He wished that they were there with him that morning.

England:

"It's Christmas Day! It's Christmas Day!" A familiar silver-haired girl yelled cheerfully as she jumped onto a sleeping figure in bed. "Who are you going to be today, eh? Shira-hime or Kuro-ojou?"

The formerly sleeping figure groaned. "Please get off me Tigress. It's my morning off today. Let me get in a few more hours of sleep. And it's Princess White or Prince Black, not Shira-hime or Kuro-ojou. We're in England, not Japan."

"But how am I suppose to know if you're going to dress as a girl or a boy today?!" Tigress cried. "You've always do it at random that I don't even know what to address you in front of people! You know that they want to hear me call you by your name with added honorifics! Besides, it's Christmas!"

"Go outside with King Philip and Lord Fluffy then. It's suppose to be snowing today."

"The more you should be outside!" exclaimed Tigress. "Besides, your pets are so old! How are they still alive?"

"By my and the servants' love and good care, and their pure determinism to stay alive for a longer time." the sleepy person yawned as he slowly answered while he dragging Tigress to the door. "Today is Prince Kuro's turn to greet the fans. I don't have the time to deal with you at 5 in the morning. Now get out and let me sleep!" He kicked Tigress out of his room before going back to bed.

United States:

"What do you think the Captain and Tigress are doing?" Sunbeam asked her twin sisters excitedly.

"Getting some more sleep./Playing in the snow." Angel and Heaven replied in unison without looking up/turning from their books. Angel was reading a book that she had received from their grandparents the night before while Heaven was playing "Silent Night" on the piano.

"What 'cha reading?" Sunbeam asked Angel.

"Petals of Love, A Collection of Poetry, by Mary Queen," replied Angel, turning a page. "Listen to this part of "Love Is Like A River":

    "Love is like a petal falling from a tree;
        It is fleeting and free.
    Love is like an ocean in a time of storm;
        It is a troublesome thing to be born.
    Love is like snowflake floating to the ground;;
        There is enough to go around.
    Love is like a triple layer chocolate cake;
        How much more can you take?"

"It sounds nice..." Heaven sighed dreamily. "Who wrote it?"

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you," said Angel quietly. "It was Kasamatsu Hiro-senpai."

Heaven stopped playing the piano and turned around sharply. "You're kidding me."

"Nope," Angel shook her head. "Hiro-senpai wrote it."

"How a poem of his got into a book is beyond me." Heaven shook her head. "Usually his poetry sucks. I think his crush on Kato Keiko-senpai has made his heart turn gushy."

Angel could only nod in agreement.

"I don't know about you, but Hiro-senpai's poem made me hungry." Sunbeam said suddenly. "Anyone up for the triple layer chocolate cake I baked this morning?"
