Five Nights at Kuroko's

Seirin, Gather!

Hyuuga gave out a tired yawn as the upperclassmen stood in the gym waiting for their freshmen boys.

"Last night took a toll, huh?" said Koganei, tired himself.

"Sure did" groaned Hyuuga.

"But it was fun, right?" grinned Kiyoshi wrapping an arm over their shoulder.

"But that chase was terrifying!" shivered Izuki remembering the scene.

Mitobe had to nod in agreement.

"Mitobe just said that he was extremely worried when we got chased and almost locked in the office" said Koganei nodding.

"Where are the freshmen?" asked Riko scuffing and looked around.

"Hello?" came a soft call.

They all turned to the gym doors and beamed.

"Tetsuya!" they cheered and ran over.

"Where have you been?" beamed Riko. "We haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Yeah!" said Kiyoshi. "Your last visit was months ago!"

"I apologize everyone" smiled Tetsuya to them all. "Something came up and I was unable to come"

"It's alright" smiled Hyuuga.

"Where are the others?" asked Tetsuya looking around.

"They're on their way" smiled Izuki. "The trio is probably getting Kagami over after all these night"

"I see" nodded Tetsuya but didn't seem to be confused at all at their statement.

Mitobe did some movements in which Koganei translated.

"Yeah..." he muttered to Tetsuya. "Aren't you curious of what we meant?"

Tetsuya turned to him but the doors suddenly opened again.

"We're here" said the freshmen walking in, Kagami more stumbling.

"About time!" barked Riko. "What took so long?!"

"Sorry, but Kagami fell asleep in class..." muttered Furihata looking at the tired Kagami.

"It took a while for the teachers to let him go" nodded Kawahara.

"But we convinced them that we had something important planned in the club and had to go" finished Fukuda.

"Hmm, good" nodded Riko. "But first...-"

"It is nice to see you again" nodded Tetsuya to them.

"Ah!" the four shrieked and spun around. "Tetsuya!?"

"Hai" he nodded back, pale and empty looking blue eyes looking at them.

"Tetsuya!" beamed the freshmen trio. "Great to see you again!"

"Likewise" smiled Tetsuya slightly.

"Still no presence at all..." muttered Kagami but grinned and walked over. "Where have you been all this time?!"

"I stumbled upon some difficulties" explained Tetsuya nodding. "So I was unable to come to visit you all"

"But you're here now!" grinned Kiyoshi and was about to swing his arm around him.

"Kiyoshi!" barked Riko grabbing his ear to drag him back.

"Idiot!" said Hyuuga. "Remember that Tetsuya doesn't like to be touched"

"Sorry, sorry!" nervously laughed Kiyoshi. "Forgot"

"It is fine" nodded Tetsuya and looked between everyone. "So how have you all been? How's your basketball practice been?"

"Ah, about that" laughed Koganei. "Our... practice... has been a bit unusual for the past days"

"Pardon?" asked Tetsuya. "Could you explain what you mean with 'unusual'? Isn't basketball, basketball?"

"What he means is that we have been at Kuroko no Basuke playing" explained Fukuda.

"I see" nodded Tetsuya. "How's it been? I haven't been able to look around there at all for many years"

"Ehehe..." laughed Izuki scratching his neck. "We're more like... Going at night..."

"Could you explain why?" asked Tetsuya tilting his head.

"I got a job as night guard there" said Kagami. "And some weird things has happened at those nights..."

"Are these 'weird things' this unusual practice of yours?" asked Tetsuya.

"That's right" nodded Kawahara.

"The animatronics wake up and basically turn into normal humans at night!" said Furihata and shivered.

"And the last three nights, three of them has challenged us at basketball" said Kagami.

"They do...?" came a slow and low question from Tetsuya as he looked down barely.

"Yeah!" said Kiyoshi not noticing his reaction. "It was extremely fun!"

"Expect for when they chased us!" yelled those who had exprienced the moment.

Kiyoshi just laughed loudly while they sweatdropped at him.

"But hey, Tetsuya?!" beamed Riko turning to him.

"Yes, Aida?" asked Tetsuya.

"Do you want to join all of us there tonight?" she grinned.

"Wait..." said Furihata.

"What?!" yelled Kawahara.

"All of us?!" yelled Fukuda.

"I thought we were done there now?!" they yelled.

"Of course not" scuffed Riko. "We're just beginning. They said that there are two others who are stronger and will come the next two night"

"And I want that challenge!" roared Kagami fired up then looked down at Tetsuya with a grin. "So what do you say?"

"I don't know..." muttered Tetsuya unsure.

"Come on!" grinned Kiyoshi. "It'll be fun!"

"Please, don't leave us!" pleaded the freshmen trio to him making Tetsuya sigh.

"I will see if I can" he said in defeat.

"Yeah!" cheered Seirin.

"Then we will meet you at Kuroko's before 12 tonight!" beamed Koganei.

Tetsuya nodded to them, still blank look.

"Yosh!" grinned Kagami. "Then the whole gang is going tonight!"

"I hope it goes better tonight" sighed Hyuuga.

Mitobe did some movements and Koganei grinned and nodded.

"We'll be all together this time!" grinned Koganei.

"Yeah, it'll be much safer now" nodded Izuki smiling.

"Then we'll meet at Kuroko's again tonight!" grinned Riko.

"Yeah!" they all cheered.
