Akabane, Akashi, Asano

The Other and E-Class

1. The Other
Gakushuu Asano noticed that something was wrong.

Seijuro Akashi kept making shots. The tranquil grace the teen had was not what was off putting. It was something else, Gakushuu concluded.

One more ball landed in the basket. Seijuro paused for a moment. "Hello Gakushuu." The older teen greeted.

Gakushuu raised his eyebrow, it was unusual for his cousin to be so unformal. "Hello Sei-nii." The middle schooler replied.

"How has your week been?" The older red head asked, and turned around.

Gakushuu's smile froze on his face. That eye was wrong. It wasn't Sei-nii...

A feeling of dread coiled in the strawberry blond's stomach. "It was fine. I got first in all my subjects once again." Gakushuu responded, thankfully his voice was even.

Gakushuu sat next to Karma. "Karma, something happened." The strawberry blond's voice was filled with worry.

"Oh? The great Gakushuu Asano coming to me for advice? What apocalypse occurred to cause this?" Karma joked.

Gakushuu frowned. "Something is wrong with Sei-nii."

"What?" Karma's eyes grew sharp and serious.

They tried to figure out what happened. They failed and waited it out for a year. The trio had been reduced to a duo, and so they waited with pessimistic thoughts.

Of all the Generation of Miracles teams, Seirin stood out the most to Karma and Gakushuu. Which was ironic, considering their GoM player was the Phantom Tetsuya Kuroko.

With the Rakuzan vs Seirin match declared, the twin decided it was time to make an appearance.

It was a regular practice for Seirin. Morale was high, as they were close to winning the High school tournament.

Two people were standing by the side of the basketball court. They were only noticed when there was a team huddle for Aida to critique the basketball team.

"Hey, do you guys know who those two kids are?" Aida asked.

"Who they?" "A redhead and blonde." "They look like they're in middle school." The Seirin said to each other.

"Kuroko, are they teammates of yours?" Hyuga asked. "No." The suddenly appearing bluenette curtly answered.

"Where's Kagami?" Someone asked. That question lead the team to notice the absence of their fiery member.

Kagami stood in front of the two kids, a frown on his face.

"Who are you?" Kagami bluntly questioned.

The redhead smirked. "We're here to see Kuroko. I'm Karma Akabane." "I'm Gakushuu Asano." The strawberry blond tacked on.

"Why are you here to see me?" A disembodied voice asked. The kids started at the sound.

Kagami flinched. "Would you stop doing that? You're going to give me a heart attack one day." The tall redhead grumbled.

"Sorry." Kuroko apologized. The blunette turned to the kids. "Why are you here to see me?"

"We're here to see Seirin's basketball team, in general, but more specifically you two. As for why, we're Akashi's cousins." Gakushuu answered.

"You two are related to that psycho?" Kagami bluntly asked.

Karma smirked. "I'm taking that as a compliment." The younger redhead replied. The strawberry blond elbowed his brother.

"Back to why we're here. Someone defeating Rakuzan is the most likely way to get our cousin back." Gakushuu admitted.
