〰 ✨ 〰 ✨ 〰

Practices were again held in preparation of the practice match between Ikeda Junior High School. As usual, Teiko's basketball team has been training in order to improve their skills and to broaden their knowledge in the said sport. Of course, the almighty middle school prodigies --- the Generation of Miracles --- have also been practicing under the guidance of their coach and captain.

One of the players was Kise Ryota, who easily maneuvered his way around his opponets, his grasp on the ball tightening as he jumped on his feet with full force and shot the ball towards the hoop, earning his team two points.

His gaze turned towards the bluenette who had watched the scene unfold before him, and gave him a thumbs up, which the phantom man reluctantly returned with a faint smile plastered on his pale face.

Afterwhich, they were given a fifteen minute break before resuming practices once more. The prodigies were all seated on the bench, gulping down the water which was prepared by their pink haired manager, Momoi Satsuki, and was given a chance to wipe off the sweat which trickled down their bodies with the towel she also offered.

As Kise and Kuroko rested their tired bones, Kuroko had inquired about what happened yesterday which concerns the identity of the stranger he kept on texting with. Kise was happy to announced he had already found out their name, ans had this hunch that they were a girl.

"But it's strange really," said Kise as he placed his towel on top of his head, remembering the days where they had chatted each other. Strangely enough, Hanabira wasn't like any ordinary girl he met. Just by the way she texted already made the model doubt. Usually, girls would text hyperly or even a bit exaggerated. But, she, was different. Far different from the other girls.

Kuroko tilted his head as he sipped his water bottle cutely (fangirls, don't you die right here and now). "What is it, Kise-kun?" Asked the phantom man.

A coy smile appeared on his face as he scratched his cheeks. "Well, Anonymouscchi, was named after flower petals, or 'Hanabira'. It's nice how she --- let's assume that they're a girl --- was named after a delicate thing yet," a soft smile escaped his lips as he faced the bluenette. "She seems the complete opposite of her name. Ironic. Blunt but, caring. A bit like you, re-- W-waaah!!"

Kise's soul almost jumped out of his body as Kuroko suddenly spit out his drink. Almost everyone on the bench got a shower because of Kuroko's sudden action, making him receive a few death glares and some lectures about not spitting his drink so suddenly, especially from the green haired carrot who tends to be like a mother to them whenever he lectures and rambles the Miracles.

"Kuroko, you fool! What was that for?! Did your mother not tell you that you should not spray your drink all over people?! If you want to become a living fountain, then go replace the fountain in the the garden, nanodayo!!" Growled an annoyed Midorima Shintaro as he kept on rambling and rambling how half of his shirt got wet by the sudden drizzle, and how his lucky item of the day became his shield.

Someone pats the greenette's head as a frown was also placed on his face. It was pretty obvious that he was also annoyed, but the pale teen was his light after all, and he has long patience for his shadow. "Let it go, Midorima. Maybe it was an accident, anyways," said Aomine Daiki, trying to calm down the male in front of him (even though he was angered himself because he was all wet).

Momoi was next to arrive at the scene after hearing of the incident. "Waaah! Testu-kun, what happened?! Did you choke or something?! Tell me, Tetsu-kun!"
