Chapter Four

Kiyoshi had on that grin that Hyuuga thought was stupid, but Hyuuga was smiling too. They stood triumphant while Midorima and Takao were defeated.

"Yo, idiot kohais! Are you ready for the pineapples?!" Miyaji Yuya said.

"Kimura, do you have any on you?" Miyaji Kiyoshi said. "You two better be ready for punishment!"

But Midorima was too in shock that his luck didn't work to care.

"No! Why?! I had my lucky item and everything. Why didn't it work?" A sudden realization hit him. "What are your signs?!" he asked, frantically.

Hyuuga was so weirded out by the green-haired boy, but he just decided to answer him. "Taurus."

"Gemini," Kiyoshi said.

"That was it! I was to watch out for Gemini today!" Midorima was genuinely horrified. "PLEASE DO NOT PICK ME! MY LUCK WILL BE TAINTED FOREVER!"

"Calm down, Shin-chan," Takao said, patting his back in an attempt to soothe him. "It's just ping pong."

Kise bursted out in laughter. "Poor Midorimacchi!"

"YOU GET AWAY TOO!" the carrot yelled upon remembering that Kise was Gemini.

Seirin laughed nervously, slightly concerned for Midorima.

"Don't worry. I won't pick you," Kiyoshi said to try to calm the boy. He felt bad for him. "I pick Otsubo-san. We play the same position, after all."

"Alright, then," Shutoku's former captain said, joining his fellow center. "Sorry about him," he said, glancing at Midorima. "He's quite the unique one."

"Aren't all the Miracles?"

"That is true."

Hyuuga looked for the Shutoku player that seemed the most mellow. "Kimura-san."

Kimura joined Seirin's captain silently.

"So... I hear you're fond of pineapples?" Hyuuga said, awkwardly. He really didn't know what to do in situations like these.

Kimura cracked a smile at that.

"I CALL MIDORIMA!" Kagami yelled. He wanted any chance he could get to make one of the Generation of Miracles his slave. He mostly wanted Aomine, but he wouldn't get a chance now since he lost against Kise.

Midorima groaned.

"Good luck, Shin-chan!" Takao said, as his partner walked to his master.

Kuroko walked in front of the hawk-eyed boy. "I choose you, Takao-kun," he said with the straightest face ever.

"Ah, alright!" Takao put his arm around the shadow's shoulder and laughed.

When Akashi saw this, he was actually kind of jealous. Though he'd never admit it. Well, he'd either want to become Kuroko's slave or enslave Kuroko.

There were two Shutoku members left. Izuki had wanted Takao, but Kuroko had chosen him already. "Miyaji-san."

"Which one?" the two brothers said.

"Oh, there's two of you! Double trouble, eh?" Izuki said with a smile. "I pick Miyaji Kiyoshi-san."

"Alright," the older Miyaji said. "You don't seem that bad."
