Riko Aida, as always, is watching her team train.
She sighs with satisfaction. Since they managed to qualify for the Winter Cup, everyone was doing their best. Well, almost everyone. To her big surprise, Kuroko wasn't following the rhythm anymore and it really annoyed her. Even though everybody knew that the next showdown with Touhou is coming soon, with Aomine Daiki.
They had already met some members of the famous « Generation of Miracles ».

Ryota Kise, Aomine, then Shintarō Midorima. They had also met Atsuchi Murasakibara. Riko sneered to herself than stood up from the bench and put an end to the training session.

She watched Tetsuya Kuroko and Taiga Kagami come closer to her, sweaty, tired. She quickly ''scanned'' Kagami, without taking care of Kuroko since his physical capacities  were not really interesting. She missed the hurt look in the blue eyes looking at her.

The rest of the team surrounded her. Most of them chatted, some dared to glare at her for her tortur... trainings more and more difficult. Oh, she was kind, really, it was only six p.m. For a rest day, it was maybe a bit too much but still...

She had a sadistic smile and Junpei Hyuga held back a sigh.

- Good ! Good job, everyone ! You can leave, don't forget to stretch!

With those, oh sweet words of deliverance, she left. Shun Izuki blinked, Rinnosuke Mitobe too and Teppei Kiyoshi let out a nervous laugh.

- That's it? Kagami growls.

At his side, Kuroko didn't say a word, he bent over and caught his dog, Number Two. He simply left. Kagami followed him. The dunker was perplexed. The more the match against Aomine was coming closer, the more his '' shadow " was silent and impassible.

He didn't know what was going on but he was worried. A lot. On One hand because Kuroko was his teammate, his partner, and on the other hand because... because it was Kuroko. He had become more than a friend to him.

Kuroko, for his part, changed and left without waiting for anyone. During the whole trip bringing him home, he kept Number Two against him, head low.

He had received a message.

Wow.

No, It wasn't that simple fact which was surprising, his social life wasn't complete trash, thanks, but it was the sender which surprised him.

Aomine himself.

« Ready, my Shadow ? »

Why ? Why try to keep in touch now ? Right before their second match as enemies, the first one had been a massacre. Seirin got beaten pretty badly during the Inter-High and Kuroko would gladly forget it. But he couldn't. He could still feel the bitter taste of defeat in his throat. Nervously, the shadow adjusted his collar and continued his way home.

Without paying attention, he passed his neighborhood and took the metro. Unconsciously, he ended up in a park. But not just any park.
Oh no.

Kuroko shivered and lowered a bit more his head thinking about the famous Generation of Miracles. About his Generation of Miracles.
