3rd Person's P.O.V

Everyone was in the gym and practicing a these time around, but a certain brunette is missing which is likely like him and annoying a certain Blonde girl.

"Where is that, Kaiga?" Mikka muttered to herself as she look at her wristwatch to see Kaiga an hour late! A menacing aura was felt throughout the gym, sending chills into people's spine.

"Oi, Akashi's getting scary again," Aomine said to Kise who was stretching his arms but was stop when Akashi's annoyed aura get to him.

"Hidoi~"

"Akashi-kun, calm down," Kuroko said, casually but still made people jump away. And also sending extra chills into their spines.

"That peasant. Who is he to come h--"

"I'm here!!" Kaiga suddenly scream, bursting from the door, and dodging a superman scissors thrown by the one and only, Akashi Seijoro. "Ooh! Sei-kun that was faster than the last time! Nice!" Kaiga said, giving a thumbs up, earning a glare from his red haired cousin.

"Why are you late?" Akashi scowled as Kaiga took out a paper and grin. Upon seeing the piece of paper, Akashi's glare softened and everyone's eyes widened (except for Kuroko who is emotionless, Murasakibara who doesn't care less and Kise who is clueless)

"I went to get this form from Uncle Taichi, so we could get registered as soon as possible. Thankfully, he can't resist his most handsome nephew," Kaiga said as Mikka smacked his head before taking the paper.

"Nice, Kaiga. The tournament hasn't been announced yet but you already got us a registration form," Mikka said and walked towards Akashi to give him the form. Kise seemed to be catching up with the subject.

"Are you sure about signing up early? Plus, what if they make changes?" Momoi asked as Kaiga nodded.

"It's alright. Uncle also said, that there won't b any changes so it's okay for us to sign up earlier. Uncle wasn't willing at first but I a good deal to make him permit us to have a early registration," he assured them as Akashi stared at his cousin with amusement.

"Well done, Kaiga. For a goofball, you actually thought about this. And what is this deal you are saying?" Akashi asked, raising an eyebrow. Kaiga's expression dropped from a cheerful one to a serious looking one.

"That I would permit the Princes to play. Been a while since they actually joined a tournament," all their eyes widened, except for the three earlier. Again because Kuroko was emotionless, Murasakibara doesn't care less and Kise is clueless.

"What? What do you mean you're allowing them? As I heard, the Princes stopped joining tournaments after the incident in the Intermediate Grade Level Tournament nanodayo," Midorima asked, pushing his glasses.

"Matte! What's these so called Princes? I don't understand!" Kise asked, completely clueless about the topic. Aomine looked at him with disbelief.

"What? You don't know them? Before Generation of Miracles were ever formed, there's already a prodigy group consisting 5 players in Grade School. We are only considered the second them," Aomine explained but Kise was still clueless so he turned to Mikka and Momoi.

"3 years ago, a group of talented basketball players were formed during in their grade school time. I heard they even surpass junior high students with their skills. They were called the Princes or Living Prodigy. Like what Dai-chan said, they were consisted with 5 members. Their center, Mitsuchi Takane. Small Forward, Yamamoto Kira. Shooting guard, Mabuichi Tadashi. Their point guard, Taiki Kudo ad the last one was unknown. I don't know why though," Momoi explained as Kise seems to get it now. Shadows formed on Kaiga's face due to his long bangs and took a deep breathe.

"Because that last one was completely invisible for the audience," they all turned to Akashi who has his arms crossed "Like, Tetsuya. That fifth member is a phantom and was never recognized in the court but, his skill is very exceptional. I heard he even once acquired an eye called the emperor's eye but was then vanished because of a certain reason," he then looked at Kaiga who has an emotionless look on his face.

"Am I right, Kaiga?" They all turned to Kaiga. Mikka and Kuroko didn't seem to be bothered though the rest were. A small smile was formed on Kaiga's features and chuckled lightly.

"Gomen ne, minna for not telling you but I'm the fifth member of the Princes and Tetsu-kun was the sixth member," they all screamed in shock. Well, that exclude the red had who was staring at his cousin, and of course, Mikka and Kuroko who seemed to know the truth from the very beginning.

"Explain yourself!" Aomine said, pointing at Kaiga.

"Well, my profile as a Princes member was confidential due to the audience didn't seem to notice me in the court as much as the others. Tetsu-kun was noticed somehow but I'm completely invisible. If they ever knew about me, they would even thought our team cheated for adding another player in the court so they kept me confidential," Kaiga explained and turned yo Kuroko.

"Tetsu-kun was never acknowledged by the audience as a member of such group so the people never knew about him, but he was also a member," He added

"Wait, so you two are member of that group, so you know why the other isn't playing in tournaments?" Momoi asked as Kaiga and Kuroko nodded. Though Kuroko wasn't seen.

"Yes, we do," Kaiga answered, plainly.

"So was it because of that incident, nanodayo?" Midorima asked as Kaiga sighed before answering but Mikka went ahead of him.

"Some part, yes. But the truth is, it's because the other member are studying overseas. Mitsuchi's at Germany. Kira's at Italy, Mabuichi is in Spain and their captain...Taiki was....uhhh...well let's just say, he's not in good terms with the others," Mikka explained. They wouldn't be surprise if she knew. They all know she's Kaiga's childhood  best friend so it's just natural for her to know that.

"This Taiki. He's a Kudo too right?" Kise asked as Kaiga hesitantly nodded

"Yes and he's my cousin in my father's side. He was severely injured 2 years ago so he stopped playing, so he wouldn't be participating," Kaiga said, clutching his fist not anting to remember what happened.

"Earlier. You said you're allowing the others to play. What do you mean by that nanodayo?" Midorima asked.

"Another reason why they didn't joined any tournament so far is because I told them not to. Until I say so, they would be staying in the current country but now that I gave out my word, they would be attending here in Japan now on," Kaiga replied, a smirked forming his lips.

"So this year would be quite exciting due to we will be up against our former team," Kuroko finally spoken, startling them a bit, not noticing his presence. Aomine smirked with determination.

"So, that means we can see who is the strongest! Generation of Miracles or the Living Prodigy!" Aomine said as Kaiga laughed.

"Now it sounds like I'm fighting myself! Weird!" Kaiga stated as Kuroko nodded?

"Weird. You're always weird, Kaiga-kun," Kuroko said as Kaiga look at him, making a face.

"Mou, meanie! I'm cool not weird."

"Oi! Bakaiga! Be sure that you can fight your old teammates cause it ain't good losing!" Aomine said, grinning as Kaiga smirked.

"Hell yea! Losin' ain't my thing! Losin' ain't in my vocabulary, Ahomime!" Kaiga said.

"Neither do I!"

"Oh? I remember you were the one who lost to me a year ago!" Kaiga brought up, earning a glare from the taller male

"Oh yeah, short stuff! How 'bout round two? And we'll see whose stronger!"

"Bring it on!" And so the two aces went on another match as they just used the other court.

Curious, Midorima went to Mikka to ask questions.

"Mikka, is it true that Kaiga acquired the Emperor's eye nanodayo?" He asked as Mikka looked at Kaiga who was arguing with Aomine with their cowboy accent again.

"It doesn't look like it but yes, he did," Mikka said looking up the green haired boy.

"How did he obtained it? And how did he lose it dayo?" He again asked.

"The emperor's eye will only be obtained and lose by some reason someone has so I don't really know how Kaiga obtained and lose it cause he keeps secrets to himself," Mikka said, looking once more at Kaiga who was mocking Akashi for not hitting him with his scissors and Aomine trembling.

That's what I hate about Kaiga. He's secretive...
