Kuroko decided to accompany his sister downtown. Yoon and Tyelko volunteered to help Kuroko's friends prepare for the festival. Everyone in Tokyo seems to be very busy. All are excited for the coming celebration, which only happens once a year.

"It's so lively here Aniue!"
Kuroko tilted his head, smiling at her. "I'm glad you are enjoying your stay."
"Of course! Besides, I need to get used to it, right?"
"Hmm."
"Where will we go first?" Nakbin asked while clinging onto his arm.
"Where do you want to go imoto-chan?" Nakbin shifted beside him uncomfortably. "I don't know Aniue. What do you think is the best place?"
"Do not be afraid imoto, I am here," he said squeezing her hand.
"Oh, okay."
"Come, let's go see some movies then I'll take you to the mall."
"Movies?" "Moving pictures. It's like stage play except that people perform in screen not live."
The phantom siblings were waiting on line to buy tickets, when a guy with heavy eyebrows and shaven head slapped Kuroko on the back.
"Kuroko Tetsuya, it's so nice seeing you here!"
"Tsugawa-san, domo."
"Is it your first time here? I don't see you here often."
"Actually, young sir, it is my first time," Nakbin interfered.
"Huh?! Who are you?"
"Uhm..." Nakbin fidgeted uncomfortably. Tsugawa eyed the girl, who's holding a bucket of popcorn. Her big hair cascading down past her knees, she has dark pretty eyes that reminds him of night sky, pale skin, rosy cheeks and red lips that are slightly parted.
"Woah! You're so beautiful!" Kuroko pushed his Tsugawa's face away. "You're too close, Tsugawa-san."
"Is she your girlfriend? How come you got a girlfriend before me?!"
"Anyone can get a girl anytime, idiot." Iwamura popped behind him, pulling the boy by his collar.
"Hmm? Seirin no. 11?"
"Iwamura san, good morning."
"Is this idiot bothering you? I'm sorry about that, don't worry he won't get any closer with you and your girlfriend." Seiho's captain glanced at Nakbin.
"I am not only his friend, my lord. I am his sister."
"Eh? Lord? Wait, sister? You're his sister?! You don't really look like him!" Tsugawa protested.
"I got my looks from our father."
"Wha- well if that's the case..." Iwamura put him down, thinking that the idiot has already calm down. However, "Nice to meet you, Kuroko-san! Wow I can't believe it! You are really pretty Miss, your ears are so pointy and your hair is so fluffy too!" He ruffled it, earning a glare from Kuroko who swatted his hand away.
"Please don't touch her."
"Wha-! Don't butt in the good part Tetsuya teme!"
"Who gave you the permission to call me on a first name basis?"
"Man, this is troublesome." A guy with blonde hair appeared behind Nakbin, standing beside Iwamura.
"I don't remember ever seeing that guy having a fight with anyone before, not even against that idiot."
They watch the two bickering with each other, with Tetsuya looking deadpanned as usual. Kasuga looked down at the girl beside them. "Are you really his sister? Why is it I didn't see you in any of the games before?" Nakbin looked up to him with innocent eyes. "I'm sorry, I only just arrived last week...uhm..."
"Kasuga. My name's Kasuga Ryuhei. And he's Iwamura Tsutomu. That guy over there is Tsugawa Tomoki. We are from Seiho team, we fought against your brother's team last Interhigh."
"Ooohhh! Rivals! It is an honor to meet you Ryuhei-sama and Tsutomu-sama. You may just call me Nakbin." She said as she curtsied. The two seniors were taken aback.
"Uhm, sama? That's actually too formal. You may use honorific -san instead."
"Uhm but I'm not actually used to with it."
"Please excuse us, Iwamura-san, Kasuga-san." The two slightly jumped on his sudden appearance.
"It is our turn now imoto-chan." Kuroko gently pulled his sister towards him and bought their tickets.
"Oi Tetsuya! This isn't over! I'll kick your phantom ass this coming basketball match!"
"Man, that girl sure got good manners don't you think?" Kasuga asked.
"Or probably too much." Iwamura replied, as they watch the retreating form of the two.
The siblings settled down, both with vanilla shakes on hand. They decided to watch In The Heart of the Sea since Nakbin is fascinated with fables and tales. It is her first movie after all. Both were contentedly seated as people ignored and passed them by. However, this is not entirely the case.
Tsugawa keeps on pouting as he was not able to introduce himself to the girl with fluffy hair. As he and his seniors were entering the movie room, they spotted the phantom siblings by the corner. He beamed when he saw them. He dashed to her side to say hi when Iwamura lifted him by his shirt.
"Put me down sempai!"
"Shut up! Or we will be sent out." That shut him up.
They sat at the backrow seats instead. The phantom siblings looked at them. Tsugawa wiggled his fingers at Nakbin, saying hi as the latter responded with a smile. Tetsuya turned Nakbin's head in front as the movie is starting. He sent Tsugawa a glare who put his tongue out in return. One of his seniors gave him a scolding.
