“Something Lost Will Never Return”

Chapter Two:

The Teikou Middle School Basketball Club. An incredibly strong team with over one hundred members and three consecutive championship wins. Amongst their brilliant record, the generation of five prodigies was known as the “Generation of Miracles”. Despite being relatively unknown and lacking a game record, there was one more member recognized by the five prodigies. A phantom sixth man.

Kuroko entered the gate of Seirin Academy and continued reading the book in his hands as he walked to their building.

He flipped it to another page as he finished the previous one and gasped when a hand tapped his shoulder. He hit the man with his bag in reflex.

“Ow! What the hell--!” It was his ‘light’, Kagami Taiga who groaned. The red-head rubbed his forehead and glared at the teal-head. “You idiot, what was that for?”

“Don’t scare me like that or I’ll get angry.” He warned with emotionless tone.

That statement made the red-head’s eyebrows twitch. “How dare you—You do that to me everytime!”

“Wow, your four eyebrows are twitching.” He mumbled in awe and even ignored the red-head’s complaint.

“You dumbass, I only have two eyebrows!” Kagami protested.

He tiptoed and touched the red-head’s eyebrows and counted loudly as he touched each, “One, two, three, and four. You have four eyebrows, Kagami-kun.” He replied, impassive.

Kuroko’s reply hit a nerve and that’s when Kagami started to chase after his shadow, not literally his shadow –how ridiculous would he look like when he tried chasing after his own shadow right?--, I’m talking about Kuroko. “You bastard, come back here!”

The blue-eyed ran as fast as he could to their lockers and hid inside his and ignored everyone’s stare at his moving-on-its-own-locker since no one noticed him. Something that didn’t surprise me, you and even the others who has read this.

He blinked when it opened and Kagami towered over him. “You i-diot. You making fun of me?!” He growled and grabbed Kuroko’s head. “You’re making fun of me, ain’t ya?” He demanded.

Kuroko shook his head. “I’m not, I’m not, Kagami-kun.” He surrendered and finally was released. He fixed his hair and complained with indifferent tone, “That hurts. You used American accent, how—“

“Amazing?”

“No, creepy.” Kuroko replied.

Kagami, whose locker was beside him, stifled his laughter with how weird their conversation was and raised an eyebrow as he changed his shoes. “You actually fitted in your locker, how magnificent.” He complimented.

“Should I take that as a compliment or as an insult?” He mumbled as he closed his locker after changing his shoes. “I’m not that small.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a rhetorical question, don’t bother answering it.” He pointed out.

“Oi, it’s so early and you’re already pissing me off.” Kagami grunted.

“I am?” He asked with innocent tone.

Kagami closed his locker and picked up his bag which he placed on the floor. “I really wanna strangle you right now.”

“Please don’t, I’m not ready to die yet. You can strangle yourself instead, I don’t mind.” He responded and flipped his book to the next page. His reply would sound simple, emotionless, indifferent and impassive to Kagami, but truth be told, he meant that statement from the bottom of his heart.
