Kuroko Takara's POV

I dribbled the ball and stood ten feet away from the hoop, and threw the ball before it landed into the hoop. I grabbed the ball again and practiced my agility, doing flips and twists in the air before finally my Zone was activated voluntarily. I swiftly moved through the court at the speed of light and shot hoops, even dunked some before I got tired and was sweating a lot. I walked over to my bag and grabbed my bottle, and gulping it down. I let out a sigh of relief and stretched my sore muscles, and did a split when all of a sudden, a shadow loomed over me. I spoke without looking back," Whoever you are, leave me alone. I took taekwondo for three years and I am not afraid to use it." 

"You have changed....Kara." The word rolled off his tongue smoothly in an affectionate way. My body stiffened as I recognized his voice, Aomine Daiki. Everything about him. His scent, voice, shadow made me want to puke on something, preferably him. I stood up and turned around, my eyes connecting with his neck, then I looked up without straining much of my neck like before at him. He still looked the same, like he hasn't changed since I left. And here I thought, he must have missed me so he tried to change but I was proven wrong.

I looked away," What do you want?" I didn't address him or directly look at him. I crossed my arms and awaited his response.

"I heard from Kise that you were back so I came to see you." He smiled softly at me from the corner of my eyes.

"Well now that you have seen me. Leave me alone. I don't speak to pathetic egotistical people, not to mention I have my eyes on someone. So if he walks by, my chances would be ruined. Therefore, leave me alone." I accidentally spoke in English. I shook my head, Aomine looked confused." I said leave me alone. " I repeated in Japanese this time before I put my bottle in my bag and swung it over my shoulder.

"Wait, would you? Why didn't you enroll at the other schools but Seirin? We defeated Seirin by twice the points, so don't think they can defeat me with you. It won't change. Winter Cup will be mine, after all only I can defeat myself." He stated.

" Great to see your pride still swelling." I sarcastically replied before I felt my lips pull up into a smirk," But good luck defeating us at the Winter Cup. Now that I am back, it's going to be different."

"How? You look weak but your chest and height has improved though." He smirked rudely, glancing at my chest.

"Well, you see. The term is I was weak. But now I am not. What was that word I was looking for?" My eyes mockingly widened before I leaned up and whispered," My powers awakened and I am going to use them to defeat you, along with my new light Kagami and brother Tetsu." I pulled away without looking at his expression, and grabbed my bag before leaving him behind.

He should know better than to mess with someone he has a special relationship with. After all, whoever kisses Aomine is a bitch on the inside but weak on the outside.

"Tetsu! Welcome home!" I yelled at my twin from the top of the stairs. He looked up and smiled,"I'm home. But...."His smile faltered,"About that....there is someone here with me." I frowned and looked down but it was a mistake because Kise was already climbing the stairs to greet me. I swallowed harshly and faced the blonde haired boy. He looked at me from head to toe and blushed furiously. I didn't understand and looked at my attire when my eyes widened at the fact that I was wearing a tank top with booty shorts. Since this was a common outfit I wore to sleep in America, I guess this will be a hard habit to drop. I cleared my throat and he looked up.

"AH! Sorry, Takarachi....I mean, Takara." He smiled at me, not his usual smile but a forced one. " Your hair grew longer....and you seem different." He finished with a glance to my hair. I touched my hair, it is true that it did grow long, until my middle back but I chopped it to my shoulder and trimmed it a bit to make it even.

"Yes. It did grow long but Kise, what are you doing here?" I crossed my arms with eyebrows raised.

"Well, you see...I wanted to apologize for my behaviour back at Teiko. I'm different now. I was just jealous back then that Aomine got to train you privately and made you better than me when you had only joined a week after I did." It was true that I had only played for Teiko for less than a year and left soon after but two hundred days and a bit more was enough for drama, romance and so on. 

"Look, Kise. I can't forgive you but I will try. After all, you weren't the person who broke my heart and called me flat even after seeing me after three years of not seeing each other." I breathed out with fury before I ran a hand through my hair. A tick mark appeared on my forehead, I cradled my boobs and yelled at Tetsu," Brother, how are these flat? They are bigger than average. I drank tons of papaya milk just to get his size and do you have any idea how it tastes like? DISGUSTING." I breathed in and calmed down, letting go of my boobs before turning to a red faced Kise," Aomine is a dick and I will make sure he pays."

He swallowed and nodded slowly," Of course."

Now once that was done, I smiled brightly, all things related to anger gone just like smoke." So I am going to make spaghetti with meatballs and red sauce. Sit and relax." I turned from him and headed to the kitchen and started cooking once I got the right things laid out in front of me.

As I was boiling the spaghetti, my phone rung on the counter and I answered it without looking at the name," Hey, Takara! It's me, Kagami." My eyes widened and I looked at Kise who was laughing with Tetsu on the couch before I quickly turned off the stove and went into another room to talk to him.

"Hey, what's up? Why did you call me?" I asked, twirling my hair. 

"Nothing. But you know, that thing, I talked to you about months ago. Do you have your answer?" He asked.

I frowned and tried to remember before a bulb lit up in my head. I blushed," Oh yeah. I remember now. But what happened to 'I will wait for you answer no matter how long it takes?'. " I asked him before he retorted at me. His laugh made me shiver. I sighed.

"Fine. I will tell you my answer by the end of the week. Until then, I'm busy." I chuckled." See you tomorrow."

"Hey, Takara. I finished making the spaghetti you forgot about on the stove." Kise walked in, casually. My eyes widened and I swallowed.

"Is that Kise I hear with you? What is he doing there?" Kagami furiously asked.

"It's nothing. He's hanging out with my brother. See you tomorrow. Don't stay up late practicing. I know you too well. Oh and if Alice calls, tell her I said hi." I ended the call and looked up at Kise with a ticked mark on my forehead.

"If it's not important, stay out of this room until I finish talking on the phone."

Kise froze and nodded before I smiled," Well let's go. You made dinner, right? Thanks."
