Tsukina writes on the journal of the basketball club as she is on rest on watching the performance of the first string. Well, the others are not here. The ones that she is focus on watching. But one is here and he doesn't need constant observation. She sighs as she continues to write but her mind is worrying about her brother. He decides to finally test the waters. She knows that it will be a success but with how low her brother's self-esteem, she is having doubts that it will be done smoothly.


"Hey, Akashi, you have a guest," one of the seniors says.


Tsukina lifts up her head and smiles when she sees her brother. It looks like he is not concerned about anything.


"Well, Kuroko-kun, I have been waiting for you," Akashi speaks as he turns around with a friendly smile. He holds the ball and rests it on his side while walking towards Kuroko-kun. "I haven't seen you for three months. Have you found an answer?"


"Yes," Tetsuya answers and waves at his walking sister towards them.


Akashi looks back a bit and sees Tsukina. "Well, then..."


"Um... If I can make a request," Tetsuya mutters, "If possible, could I show it to you in a match?"


Tsukina stops besides Akashi and stares in an act of confusion towards her brother's request. Well, that's one way of getting it and the fastest way too.


"I understand. Let me go and ask. I will leave him to you for a bit, Tsukina." Akashi then walks towards the captain.


Tsukina nods her head in acknowledgement to Tetsu. "Is it a success? I haven't able to watch you play in the third string since I permanently moved in this gym."


"Yeah, but I will ask for your criticism later," Tetsuya replies and smiles to his sister. He is sure that she is worried about his performance. After all, she wants to help him get what he wishes for. She is supportive but also doesn't want to help him with all of the problems with his constitution.


"I am sure, you will make me proud of your achievement," Tsukina mutters and taps her brother's shoulder. "I will watch at the sidelines. Do your best." She raises her fist and Tetsu getting it, bumps his fist on hers. "Make them speechless."


Tetsuya chuckles but nods his head.

"That's your twin," Nijimura queries and points at the no presence guy.


"Yep," Tsukina responds with a smile. "We do look alike, except for our presence. He truly does lack presence, even my parents get scared by his sudden showing up out of nowhere." She chuckles in amusement.


"What do you think about his performance?" Coach Sanada and Nijimura ask.
