A/N: Happy belated NEW YEAR everyone in LJ! So sorry for the vey late greeting… and updating. The excuse is the same as always. WORK. Yep. I don't know why but my irregular working hours and schedule prevented me having fun in writing fic, so… yeah. Anyway, here's the latest impression. ENJOY!
Thirteenth Impression: Kagami Taiga (Part 2)
Still with Kagami Taiga and his impression on Teikou Middle School… After he met Akashi in the morning and promised him to check out the basketball club, Kagami went to fulfill his promise.
…well, he didn't have much of a choice because Akashi actually picked him up during the detention period his teacher gave Kagami for falling asleep in his class. Akashi even interrupted the teacher's lecture by knocking on the door and asked for permission if he could take Kagami away because he had some important business to discuss with Kagami.
The teacher was reluctant at first, but after Akashi gave him a 'you dare to disobey me?' smile, he relented and let Kagami go.
"That's kinda awesome," Kagami couldn't help complimenting, totally stunned by Akashi's… uncanny authority.
The shorter red head just chuckled slightly at that, shaking his head. "I see you're quite a simpleminded guy," his tone wasn't mocking, yet Kagami couldn't help thinking that Akashi was teasing him at some point. He had a decency to feel rather embarrassed, then.
"Uh… couldn't sleep last night," Kagami mumbled, though he wasn't going to tell Akashi that he stayed late because his dad worked overtime and he snuck out of house past his curfew to play street basket at Shibuya again.
Akashi didn't seem too interested in knowing his reason further, so he just led Kagami to the gym in silence after that. Alright, at least until they stood in front of the first gym and he turned to face Kagami with a small smile.
"Welcome to Teikou basketball club," he said before he opened the door to reveal such a large, glorious space behind the sliding metal entrance.
Kagami widened his eyes slightly. It was the first time he saw such a big gym. Inside were three basketball courts, surrounded by four rows of bleachers. Kagami couldn't help slacking his jaw unceremoniously. Indeed, Teikou went all for their sport club, huh?
"Heeh… so this is the Teikou basketball club…" Kagami had to admire it because- Whoah… it's amazing!
"Thank you," Akashi smiled again and instantly, all pairs of eyes of the people inside the gym were focused on Kagami and him. Soon after, a yellow thing suddenly ran to him in a blur and jumped Kagami, shouting.
"Kagami-chi!"
And starting from the blond Kise, he once again was acquaintance with those people that managed to captivate him in their first meeting; the dark blue Daiki, the green Midorima and the purple Murasakibara. Kagami was very much surprised that all those guys were in basketball club (except maybe Daiki because Kagami already knew he was a member), even the light blue Kuroko. They talked, or more like… everyone started to speak to Kagami one after another such that he was rather perplexed on how to handle them all at once. He was also informed about Daiki's last name, which was actually Aomine in the middle of those guys' bicker.
Kagami was kind of excited meeting Kuroko again. He had tried to find the bluenet some days prior, but he couldn't figure out where his class was, and thus hadn't able to see him the second time. Though, for some reason, everyone started to complain about Kuroko hogging Kagami's attention for himself.
Still, there was something that bothered Kagami a great deal. When he glanced around, the entire club member sans the rainbow (yeah, laugh please, it's because of their ridiculous hair colors!-Kagami couldn't help snickering on the inside) were staring at him as if he was some kind of a rare, very valuable exhibit in national museum. They kept gawping at him absurdly and it was bizarre.
Kagami wondered slightly if he had done something to earn such look, but he was quickly distracted by Akashi who sent the other rainbow a death glare, as if he were ready to murder them. Thankfully, Kagami could calm him down before he resorted to violence and it somehow earned him a collective awestruck gasps from the others.
This is really weird… Isn't it supposed to be the 'normal thing' to do?-Kagami couldn't help musing silently as he patted and ruffled Akashi's soft red hair and Akashi strangely looked rather pleased with that affectionate motion.
After that was kind of a blur to Kagami. The rainbow group started to converse with each other, except Kuroko who only seemed very eager in joining in, but only nodded a few times in total agreement of things. Then Akashi said something… gap moe?-Kagami tilted his head aside, unfamiliar with the term when accordingly, Kise commented on Akashi's choice of words after the other went silent, staring at Akashi oddly.
When Kagami still tried to decipher the meaning of gap moe, suddenly there was a pair of scissors flying across the gym before the edges were embedded in the wall with a terrifying sound. Kagami looked upward in surprise, seeing Kise tremble in total fright. He was rather worried if the blond had gotten hurt, so he approached him and asked if he was alright.
Kagami got a bear hug instead of an answer from the crying blond. It was totally awkward and he was rather mystified, but why were the others smiling at him like that?
Then the offer came. Akashi wanted to test his ability in court and Aomine enticed him to try their play because they were so good in basketball, he boasted. Kagami was never one to back down from a challenge, so he agreed to answer it.
There were rules, of course, of the three-on-one game that Akashi proposed, which was simple enough because basically it was the same as one-on-one game, and Kagami was allowed to do everything so long as he didn't violate basketball rules.
Well… why not then?-Though, Kagami didn't intend on joining the club in the slightest. After all, he still hadn't recovered yet from Himuro's short of betrayal.
Kuroko showed him where he could change and something strange happened in the locker room when he started to undo his clothes. Kuroko had a nosebleed. At first Kagami thought that the bluenet was sick because his face was rather red and he looked feverish, but after Kagami checked with his own forehead, the boy's temperature was normal. Well, his heartbeat was getting crazily fast like a cat's though…. Also, Kuroko claimed that it happened sometimes, because of the cold weather. He retreated to freshen up, but not before Kagami asked him to watch him play on the courtside beside the ring. He didn't know why, but he felt more at ease and confident if Kuroko was cheering for him.
"Gladly," Kuroko responded, and Kagami couldn't help flushing slightly seeing Kuroko's adorable little smile.
Then Kagami did the challenge. Oh, those guys were good. Very good. He actually had a hard time. Kise was fast and very perceptive, despite his claim to be only starting basketball recently. However, he was rather inexperienced with rough play. Kagami didn't really want to do harsh bodily contact. Well, he did will it in his mind, but he wasn't really going to do that for real. Still, Kise seemed to feel the intent and it was enough to rattle the blond that he dodged Kagami's frontal attack instead of defending like he was supposed to.
After Kise was Midorima. He was more alert and experienced than Kise. He read body language and purpose, so it was very difficult to shake him with the same tactic. Luckily, Kagami was long in America, so he learned a trick or two to pass defense like Midorima. Fake. He only needed some fluid moves and rotations to really get himself free from the greenet's defense.
The last one was the most challenging. Kagami had battled Aomine before at the night street ball game, and he had lost. This time, though… he tried his hardest to get past the tan boy. Even with all of his skills and knowledge, Kagami just knew that he was below Aomine in the term of agility, but not in potential. The moment he jumped to dunk the ball and see how Aomine jumped at the same time to block him, Kagami realized that he would be stopped. In a frantic moment, his eyes caught a sight of Kuroko at the courtside near the ring and he remembered that Kuroko was on his side.
In a split second, Kagami bellowed Kuroko's name and passed the ball to the shorter bright-blue haired boy and Kuroko answered his silent request by passing back the ball near the ring. Kagami already jumped again to dunk the ball in, surprising Aomine who didn't seem to expect that move at all.
It was uproar right after that. Well, he kind of probably cheated a little by utilizing Kuroko right there, but his brain just couldn't catch up of what he had done after the deed was done, so… he felt rather bad because Kuroko was getting scolded. For some reason, he also felt defensive of the shorter bluenet, so he shielded him on spot by holding him protectively. However, Akashi stopped the protesting noises soon enough as he declared that Kagami didn't actually break any rule if he considered Kuroko on his side. Well, in fact he had showed an amazing team play and apparently, Akashi was satisfied with the result.
The offer stood for Kagami to join the basketball club, but like Kagami intended before, he turned it down much to the flabbergasted shock of everyone in the gym. He told them the vague reason of why he didn't want to join a team at this moment, his disappointment and anger to his beloved sport that stole someone very important to him. Of course, he didn't mention Tatsuya's name, but it seemed that he showed them enough because Akashi relented without asking too many questions.
Then Kagami said goodbye to them since he had something else to do after this. When he left the gym, the other rainbows and the other club members were still gaping at his retreating back. Ah, at least Kagami got a wonderful experience.
Kagami had to admit that it was quite entertaining because all of them were very appealing.
#
The next day, Kagami met someone unique at lunch break.
It was a girl. Pink haired girl (really? How the hell did she acquire such color for her hair anyway?). And her cooking skill sucked big time, although he had to admit that her body was endowed like Alex's and she was cute even with her clumsiness. Kagami nearly laughed a couple of times seeing her inept moves as she cooked at the Home Economic class. Well, he kind of pitied her afterwards because she brought disaster into kitchen and upon herself. Besides, she was nearly in tears when he decided to intervene. Kagami just couldn't take it anymore.
Kagami taught her to cook homemade burger-sandwich. Well, he did most of the tasks and treated her as his assistant. Don't ask where he learned how to cook. He just did. It came naturally when you lived only with a father that was useless when it came to house work. Someone had to do that, right? His mother? Well… let's say that she wasn't around much since she was at US.
So Kagami let her watch him cook, noting how engrossed she was with what he was doing with the way her eyes following his every move in making the food. He was pleased. At least she really wanted to learn.
As soon as he was finished with the cooking, he handed her the final form of his master piece (fine, it was easy enough) while giving her some advices and directions on how to cook simpler things first before moving to the complicated ones. Her eyes were shiny as she saw the food and she immediately held his hand while claiming that he was a god.
Kagami couldn't help sweat dropping. He met an eccentric one yet again, apparently. He promised to teach her cooking again next time before he immediately ran away from her. He forgot to ask her name, but he gave her his name, so he thought it was alright.
Seriously, his day couldn't get any weirder, right? Kagami wouldn't be surprised if that pink haired girl was somehow tied to the basketball club since she was as funny as the club members.
#
It hadn't stopped yet, apparently because the next day, Kagami met a delinquent.
Alright, he actually saved the delinquent from his impending doom when he accidentally saw the… catastrophe. Gangster mobs v.s. an unarmed middle schooler. He didn't know Japan was that scary when he moved back in the country. He thought he had seen worse in America, but this just wouldn't do.
At least in US, gangster war involved a lot of people in both sides, not six versus one. So, against his better judgment, because Kagami was taught to be a good citizen, he helped the middle schooler run away from the warzone.
Kagami and the grey haired kid had to run for dear life in lightening speed to avoid their chasers and it took approximately half an hour without stopping that they finally gave up seeking them out. He thought his feet would fall off for real when they rested on their back, facing the sky.
Kagami tried to converse with the grey haired kid. Apparently, he was really a delinquent because he introduced himself as such. Kagami had to snort at that. His name was Haizaki and his langue was so crude it hurt Kagami's ears. Though, the way he flushed and reacted at every little thing was adorable. Kagami didn't know why, he just saw it like that for some reason.
From their brief (but totally hilarious) conversation, Kagami realized that Haizaki was naturally rude, kind of an asshole, and he didn't have respect towards women. He was probably the most smartass douche bag Kagami had ever encountered, but there was something in him that made Kagami unable to really hate the guy all the way.
Must have been his face… Haizaki is good-looking-Kagami shrugged. Besides, it wasn't like the delinquent would regard him as a friend. Well, he wanted to know his full name at least, so he caught his wrist when Haizaki was about to leave and demanded it.
"It's Haizaki Shougo! Now, let go of me!"
With that, Haizaki scrambled away, after Kagami complimented his name, with a red face. He asked where Haizaki was going, not expecting to get an answer, but he got one. He was going to a game center, skipping school for the day. Kagami raised his eyebrows, warning him that he would repeat a year if he was slacking off too much.
Haizaki didn't care, he said. Then, suddenly someone came along from behind him, dark hair, taller, in the same uniform as them; Haizaki called him 'senpai' and the senior looked mighty pissed off. He kicked Haizaki's ass before dragging him away to school, much to Kagami's bafflement.
Though, it was indeed comical seeing Haizaki wail like a kid. Kagami couldn't help wondering who the dark haired senior after that.
#
Luckily, Kagami didn't have to wonder for long because he met the dark haired teen again at the hospital the next day evening, when Kagami was submitting his father medical information to the receptionist to pick up prescription for his back pain. Seriously, the old man wasn't even doing something strenuous this past year. How he got a back pain was beyond Kagami.
Kagami addressed the senior first, earning him confused and suspicious gaze from him. Kagami explained their previous encounter and the senior immediately remembered. He accused him of being a bad boy because Kagami hung out with Haizaki and he protested that it was a coincidence since it was a dire situation.
Apparently, the senior was some kind of Haizaki-sitter or something because he acted like his mom. Kagami had to laugh at that. It seemed that Kagami wasn't the only one that saw something in Haizaki that was more than what he showed. He genuinely respected the older teen for being so caring about his junior well-being.
Senior's name turned out to be Nijimura Shuuzou from Class 3A, Teikou Middle. Kagami felt a bit nostalgic when he talked to him because Nijimura reminded him of Tatsuya a little bit. Though, Tatsuya was calmer, unlike the stern Nijimura, but the sentiment was the same anyway. Also… Kagami found Nijimura's name very fascinating.
Kagami told Nijimura that he had an idea that Nijimura was in Teikou basketball club because of his name. Nijimura… rainbow village and the miracle rainbow which consisted of the interesting colorful guys he had met the past few days. Very fitting.
Nijimura blushed as Kagami laughed so hard his stomach hurt.
After Nijimura dragged him away to the quieter place because apparently, they were attracting attention, Kagami started to know more about his senior. His father was currently admitted in the hospital and he was being a good son tending him. Kagami couldn't help feeling his respect welling up even more for Nijimura. He was such a good guy.
They talked some more about the basketball club and the miracle rainbows (it appeared that, they were named the Generation of Miracle), and it was nice talking about them. Kagami had to admit he was impressed with them, especially Kuroko. It was a bit peculiar and unfathomable, but he just couldn't get Kuroko out of his mind. The smaller sky-blue eyed boy mesmerized him in stronger level than the rest of GoM and he told Nijimura so, despite the disbelief look Nijimura gave him after that.
Kagami also thought that Nijimura being around the GoM was kind of a fate. After all, they seemed to be there just for Nijimura (according to their names) and Kagami found that very enthralling. In spite of his surprised look, Nijimura softened his expression right after, probably admitting that Kagami was right. And yes, he said so.
After much talking and some discussion, Kagami saw his watch and realized that he had to go home. Besides, they had arrived at Nijimura's father's room as well. He kind of understood why the GoM liked Nijimura. Yeah, Nijimura told him that the GoM seemed to be fond of him for unknown reason, but for Kagami, Nijimura was a good senior, and he bet that all the GoM almost certainly thought the same.
When Kagami told him that, Nijimura's face turned interestingly pink and he swatted Kagami's arm to shut up. Kagami couldn't help laughing merrily at his self-conscious look. His senior could be endearing too apparently.
When they parted ways, Nijimura told him to take care and be careful on his way, just like a mother telling her child to be alert. Seriously, such a mother hen. Kagami wished for Nijimura's father to get better soon and he really wanted to see him again the next day.
Who knows, Kagami still needed to learn a lot of things about his school and Japan in general, with such reliable senpai around, his days would be more fun to live with, right?

It hadn't stopped yet, apparently because the next day, Kagami met a delinquent.
Alright, he actually saved the delinquent from his impending doom when he accidentally saw the… catastrophe. Gangster mobs v.s. an unarmed middle schooler. He didn't know Japan was that scary when he moved back in the country. He thought he had seen worse in America, but this just wouldn't do.

Haizaki didn't care, he said. Then, suddenly someone came along from behind him, dark hair, taller, in the same uniform as them; Haizaki called him 'senpai' and the senior looked mighty pissed off. He kicked Haizaki's ass before dragging him away to school, much to Kagami's bafflement.
Though, it was indeed comical seeing Haizaki wail like a kid. Kagami couldn't help wondering who the dark haired senior after that.

Luckily, Kagami didn't have to wonder for long because he met the dark haired teen again at the hospital the next day evening, when Kagami was submitting his father medical information to the receptionist to pick up prescription for his back pain. Seriously, the old man wasn't even doing something strenuous this past year. How he got a back pain was beyond Kagami.
Kagami addressed the senior first, earning him confused and suspicious gaze from him. Kagami explained their previous encounter and the senior immediately remembered. He accused him of being a bad boy because Kagami hung out with Haizaki and he protested that it was a coincidence since it was a dire situation.
Apparently, the senior was some kind of Haizaki-sitter or something because he acted like his mom. Kagami had to laugh at that. It seemed that Kagami wasn't the only one that saw something in Haizaki that was more than what he showed. He genuinely respected the older teen for being so caring about his junior well-being.
Senior's name turned out to be Nijimura Shuuzou from Class 3A, Teikou Middle. Kagami felt a bit nostalgic when he talked to him because Nijimura reminded him of Tatsuya a little bit. Though, Tatsuya was calmer, unlike the stern Nijimura, but the sentiment was the same anyway. Also… Kagami found Nijimura's name very fascinating.
Kagami told Nijimura that he had an idea that Nijimura was in Teikou basketball club because of his name. Nijimura… rainbow village and the miracle rainbow which consisted of the interesting colorful guys he had met the past few days. Very fitting.
Nijimura blushed as Kagami laughed so hard his stomach hurt.
After Nijimura dragged him away to the quieter place because apparently, they were attracting attention, Kagami started to know more about his senior. His father was currently admitted in the hospital and he was being a good son tending him. Kagami couldn't help feeling his respect welling up even more for Nijimura. He was such a good guy.
They talked some more about the basketball club and the miracle rainbows (it appeared that, they were named the Generation of Miracle), and it was nice talking about them. Kagami had to admit he was impressed with them, especially Kuroko. It was a bit peculiar and unfathomable, but he just couldn't get Kuroko out of his mind. The smaller sky-blue eyed boy mesmerized him in stronger level than the rest of GoM and he told Nijimura so, despite the disbelief look Nijimura gave him after that.
Kagami also thought that Nijimura being around the GoM was kind of a fate. After all, they seemed to be there just for Nijimura (according to their names) and Kagami found that very enthralling. In spite of his surprised look, Nijimura softened his expression right after, probably admitting that Kagami was right. And yes, he said so.
After much talking and some discussion, Kagami saw his watch and realized that he had to go home. Besides, they had arrived at Nijimura's father's room as well. He kind of understood why the GoM liked Nijimura. Yeah, Nijimura told him that the GoM seemed to be fond of him for unknown reason, but for Kagami, Nijimura was a good senior, and he bet that all the GoM almost certainly thought the same.
When Kagami told him that, Nijimura's face turned interestingly pink and he swatted Kagami's arm to shut up. Kagami couldn't help laughing merrily at his self-conscious look. His senior could be endearing too apparently.
When they parted ways, Nijimura told him to take care and be careful on his way, just like a mother telling her child to be alert. Seriously, such a mother hen. Kagami wished for Nijimura's father to get better soon and he really wanted to see him again the next day.
Who knows, Kagami still needed to learn a lot of things about his school and Japan in general, with such reliable senpai around, his days would be more fun to live with, right?
