EPILOGUE- Let's make Amends and Start Again

3rd Person's P.O.V

It's now Kuroko's second Inter-High Basketball Tournament in Seirin and in just a few hours, it'll be his second championship with the said team. And he's really excited and happy, it's not just very noticeable in his emotions. The Genration of Miracles are going back to their old selves and it really made him so happy. Only if he is here to see their progress.

"Oi, Kuroko. Where are you?" Kagami Taiga asked as he stop by right in front of him. Kuroko stood up from sitting on a bench, earning Kagami's attention and almost scaring the living soul inside him.

"Eek! Oh dear Lord, please tell me if you're going to take me," he muttered as Kuroko internally smiled and faced Kagami.

"Let's go...Kagami-kun," Kuroko said and Kagami looked at him with a surprised expression and nodded before joining Kuroko in walking back to the team.

'Kuroko has this weird aura surrounding him today,' Kagami thought, but decided to stay quiet and continue on walking.

A few miles away from Seirin High School, by the beach behind Ryogan University, there laid a sleeping figure of a brunette on a picnic blanket under a light blue umbrella. He sleep with an arm covering his eyes and wore a white hoodie and pants with chain hanging from the side.

After a few moments later, his body started moving and the figure let out a growl. He sat up and yawned, rubbing his eyes right after. He noticed that the sun is about to sink from the horizon and it reflects a stunning color across the sky creating a reddish orange view.

"Oops!" He said, smirking and sheepishly rubbed his neck before standing up, "Looks like I slept in the whole afternoon. I'm sure she'll be quite piss off."

He looked over his shoulders and had a great view of the University's gym. He folded the umbrella and dusted off the dark blue picnic blanket. He put the stuff over his left shoulder and walked towards the gym. He first went to the storage room and dump the umbrella and blanket in it and shutting the door.

Just as he is nearing the gym, sounds of shoes squeaking against the wooden floor, dribbling and constant yells are heard. The team seems to be in quite an action today. They deserve an early dismissal, don't they?

He pass through the locker room of the basketball team and the door is wide open. He stopped for a while and took a peak inside if there is any person inside. Just not his luck, but some certain newspaper pages are pinned to a pin board by the wall. Newspaper articles that tells about the wins of Ryogan University's basketball team under the leadership of the unnamed coach and stories about the rumors that a highschool student is their coach.

"Jeez. They're two to four years older than me, but they don't know proper caution," he muttered and closed the door. He continued on to the gymnasium and yawned, sleepily. Looks like his drowsiness from his afternoon nap is still not going away.

He stopped right in front of doors and took a hold the sliding door, opening in a loud bang. The whole club stopped from playing and turned to him.

"Yo, wassup, coach?" A ravenette player said as he dribble the ball carelessly. But not too carelessly that someone can steal it away from him, proven when another player tried stealing the ball away from him.

"Good job, everyone! I'll be dismissing the non-regulars early today!" He announced and the non-regulars either fist bumped the air or fist bumped each other. As for the six regular players, they stared at their highschool coach with curious looks.

"Hey, what gives? Do we have to train extra for the day?" The same ravenette asked, tossing the ball towards the brunette coach, and he caught it perfectly. The brunette effortlessly tossed the ball to the nearby basket which is ten meters away from him.

"Not training," he said and walked towards the six, "But we'll be going to the Inter-High Tournament finals."

A certain blonde heard this and walked towards the conversing friends and put one hand on her hips, raising an eyebrow at the brunette.

"You're really coming this year?" She asked as the brunette highschool coach nodded with a grin.

"Yep! I'm serious this time. I even got us some VIP seats."

"Wait--waaah?!"

---

The finals is about to start in any moment now and everyone in the venue is excited about what these two finalists will show this year after their breathtaking showdown last year at the Winter Cup. But that topic is partnered with the vacant VIP seats in the bleachers. The game is almost starting and the seats are still vacant and just who are these VIPs?

"Why do I have a feeling that there's something missing?" Aomine, who is watching at the bleachers asked as he look around and took a glimpse of the vacant VIP seats, 'VIPs? Just how much are they important to be fashionably late?'

"Eh? Odd. I also have that feeling," Momoi said as she try to figure out what she is missing. As she is wandering off space, she got a glimpse of blue jackets and pants walking towards the vacant VIP seats. Her eyes widened when she recognized the uniform.

"Eh? What's a College Basketball team doing here?" She wondered as the team of older players seat among the crowd as the late VIPs.

Down at the Seirin bench, Riko also noticed the newcomers and wondered what they are doing here.

"What are they doing at a highschool tournament?" She asked as Hyuuga turned to the eye catching view of the College team.

"Ryogan College? Aren't they the number one college team?" Hyuuga questioned Riko and she nodded.

"And the team that is rumored to have a highschool coach," Riko added as she got a glimpse of a figure wearing a white hoodie by Ryogan and her eyes widened. Is that their coach? She can't see his face much because his hood is almost covering his whole face. She blinked and look at Ryogan again, but she can't spot the hoodie guy anymore.

"Are you okay, Riko?" Hyuuga asked and she was caught off guard at first before nodding.

"Ahh...yeah."

Meanwhile, at the Ryogan's place, the brunette coach went back to his seat after taking a call from his Uncle. Just as he sat back down, the game started and he watched intently.

"Been a while since I watched their game Live," he muttered, earning the ravenette College ace's attention.

"Hey, Coach. Are you planning on seeing them after the game?" He asked and the brunette coach shrugged.

"Not sure. Maybe I should delay our reunion a little further," he said and turned to their blonde manager, "what do you think, Mikka?"

"I think you should stop being an idiot and just go and see them," she said, making him laugh a little and turned to their team captain.

"What about you?"

"I do not personally know your previous team, Kaiga, but I must agree with Mikka," the brunette coach also known as Kaiga Kudo sighed and turned back towards the game, with a smile.

"Well, if you guys say so," he said as the tall ace of Seirin made a shot. After a few pass and dribble, Rakuzan scored too, "But I wanna delay it a little more."

The game continued on like a tag-of-war between the team. Seirin score, Rakuzan scored. Just the usual tug here, tug there game. And it amuses Kaiga.

First half ended and let the players have a little rest. Kaiga stood up and told the team to stay put as he get a drink from the vending machine. As he was about to pick a beverage, he heard a familiar voice walking nearby.

"Shin-chan! Come on! Tell me why do you have a wristband in your bag! Shin-chan!" Well, that's not the voice. The one whose trying to shut it down is the familiar one.

"Shut up, nanodayo," Kaiga almost laughed after hearing the famous nanodayo but tried containing it and lowering his hood. He took the bevarage of his choice which is a soda and put it inside his hoodie's pocket.

"Aww! Shin-chan! You're not the type to wear wristbands. So whose it from? Huh? Huh?"

"Just shut up, Takao," Kaiga turned to walk back to the venue when the owner of the familiar voice bumped him by the shoulder, almost making him fall. He regained his balance and paused for a minute before apologizing to the person who bumped him, deepening his voice a little.

"Gomen ne. I didn't quite saw you there," he said and started walking away as Midorima Shintaro stares at him. He have this familiar aura around him that gives him the feeling of anxiety and familiarity.

"Shin-chan?" Takao asked, curious at why his friend suddenly turned silent. The ravenette looked back to the hooded figure just to see him, running away. Is he some theif or something?

"Let's go, Takao," Midorima said catching Takao off guard.

"Huh? Ah! Okay, Shin-chan," he said with a grin then started bugging Midorima again about the green wristband that is branded with GoM in it in his bag.

For the meanwhile, as Kaiga's on his way back to his seat, he remembered that he was also gonna get Mikka a drink. A strawberry flavored drink. But then, the second half of the game is almost starting.

"Nah! I can skip a minute or two," he told himself with a playful grin under his hood and walked back to the vending machine. On his way there, he saw two pairs of feet coming his way so he tried dodging them while still hiding his presence.

"Muro-chin...I miss Kai-chin's sushis," Kaiga stopped on his tracks and looked up to the other two people whose walking by him and saw a familiar tall sweet loving Barney. Murasakibara Atsushi. He is holding a bag of snacks again and it made Kaiga smile and internally laugh.

"Hmm? I wanna meet this Kai-chin. He seem to make you eat foods other that sweets," a ravenette boy said to him and Kaiga recognized him as Himuro Tatsuya from Yosen.

"Kai-chin's mama makes the best food," that's all Murasakibara said before leaving Kaiga's circle of hearing. Kaiga laughed at himself before walking towards the vending machine. As he was about to pick the strawberry flavored yogurt, a set of squeals are heard sending chills up to his spine.

He freezes and turned his head towards his right and saw a pack of fangirls with blushes on their face. Oops. He was just starting in his modeling career again, not a new set of fangirls already!

"Kise-kun!" Oh! Okay! They're not his fangirls. It's...

"Ki-kun?"

He took a step away from the vending machine for safe distance in case of a stampede. He knows how it feels to have a stampede of fangirls. As if on cue, the girls ran pass and towards a certain person behind him. He took a glace behind him and nearly laughed out loud seeing Kise Ryouta, Kaijo's ace player being drowned by a sea of fangirls. He's just lucky that no can notices him.

"Someone...please help me, ssu!" Kise pleaded and Kaiga tried containing his laughter and decided to help Kise. He poke the shoulder of the nearest girl and whispered something behind her ear, surprising the latter a little.

The girls eyes widened and smiled widely with a blush on her cheeks. Kaiga gave her a catalog and she silently squealed and nodded. Kaiga stepped away and disappeared from the girl's line of vision in a blink of an eyes. She was first confuse where he went, but carried apout Kaiga's plan.

"Hey! Girls! I saw one of the outbreak model pass by!" She said and after a while later, the girls all disappeared, saving Kise from drowning. The blonde is confused at the same time, shock.

"What just happened....ssu?"

Unbeknownst to him, Kaiga is watching nearby with a playful smirk on his face, holding a strawberry yogurt.

"Man, he still can't handle girls very much huh? Typical, Ki-kun," he said and walked back inside to his seat. He looked over to the game and smiled. It's neck and neck and it actually brought happiness to him. He took his seat and playfully dab the box on Mikka's cheek, surprising the latter.

"Hahaha! Mikka kawaii desu ne," Kaiga childishly said, earning a glare from the blond.

"Stop playing around, will you?" Mikka scolded, but he just disregard it and handed the yogurt to Mikka.

"I can't help it....and oh! You might want this," he said and Mikka took the box of yogurt.

"Hmph! Just stop doing that, okay?"

"Hai!"

They watch the game continue, taking in every single detail of their movements. Watching live is much better that just watching the game inside a television. Kaiga admit that he wants to play with or against one of them soon. Very soon.

"So, coach, why did you drag us all the way here to watch this again? I know you want to see your old teammates even though they can't see you, but they should be another reason, right? You always have more than one reason," the ravenette ace, known as Akio Sendo-Garcia said. He's the adopted brother of Alexandra Garcia and surprisingly, Kagami Taiga doesn't know about him?

"Good observation, Sendo-san!" Kaiga said and pulled down his hood lower, "This game decides whom you're going to go against in your next practice game."

"Huh?" The Ryogan regulars exclaims almost in unison.

"So you are planning on getting the number one highschool team play against the number one collage team?" The team captain asked and Kaiga nodded as third quarter ended.

"Precisely. Then the best in Japan will be decided," Kaiga exclaimed briefly and took asip from his soda.

"Well, who do you think all win, Kaiga?" Their point guard asked and Kaiga smirked and twirled the can in his hand.

"If you're talking about my bias team, it would be Seirin. I don't really want to play against my cousin and the three Uncrowned Kings since it'll be boring," he said bluntly making the whole Ryogan team sweatdrop.

"Man, sometimes, I don't understand this kid's definition of strong," their small forward muttered under his breath, earning a nod from their sixth man.

"But if you really want to know my opinion based on my observation of the game. The winner is still going to be Seirin," he said, now putting on a serious face. During the one and a half year they are being coached by Kaiga, they never get use to his sudden mood swings.

'Man, Coach's mood swings are worst than Mikka's in her period," Garcia thought, mischievously.

"And I also want to make amends with someone whom I broke a promise to," Kaiga said and Mikka clearly knew that he is talking about Kuroko Tetsuya.

"If that is so," Garcia started locked his eyes on a certain tall red head, "Then, will you let me take on Kagami Taiga?"

"Oh, Alex-san's underling? Sure, why not?" Kaiga said and Garcia chuckled.

"And another reason why I want to play against them is because their coach is pretty cute," a nerve seem to popped in Mikka's head as he smashed the empty box of yogurt against Kaiga's face.

"You stupid billionaire playboy!" Kaiga looked a her as if she lost a goddamn screw.

"Hey! That's not very---"

"Go burn in hell!" Let's just hope that is not the end of Batman---I mean, Kaiga.

In just a few minutes, the winner of the game is decided with Seirin's triumph. Right after the awarding ceremony, Ryogan together with Mikka and Kaiga left to go back to Ryogan University Campus, leaving no trace of Kaiga Kudo and Mikka Tamuchi.

Or maybe...

"Hey, Satsuki, do you also have this feeling that someone walked pass us without us noticing?" Aomine asked and Momoi looked at him with a weird and confused expression.

"Nope...why?"

"Forget it."

......

A week has passed since the championship and that was the day Seirin finally met the Ace and co-manager oi the Generation of Miracles. That was also the day the two of them publicized their selves once again and a certain group of rainbow haired people received a message from an ambiguous number.

If the Emperor can...why can't the King summon his subjects? Call time, this afternoon at the place where you saw the King as a Princess.'

Aomine sweat dropped upon reading the message, but then smirked when he recognize this mischievous behavior.

"Finally, you baka."

"Eh? Where we saw the King as a Princess?" Momoi wondered and a certain set of picture of a beautiful brunette wearing a Chinese girl and ladybug outfit came into her mind and whined in envy.

.

Midorima was practicing his shooting when Takao suddenly called upon him.

"Hey, Shin-chan! Are you dating a gay or something?" A tick mark appeared on the Carrot's green hair and glared at Takao. He noticed that the ravenette is holding his phone.

"Give my phone back, Takao, dayo," Takao huffed and bursted out laughing.

"Hahha! Shin-chan, are you gay or something? Oh come on! You can tell me!" Takao said and Midorima suddenly took his phone and read the SOS. His eyes widened and he walked towards his bag and put his phone back inside, together with the green wristband he always bring with him.

"So what, Shin-chan? Are you gay?"

"I am not, nanodayo!" Takao was about to talk again when a when of a girl came calling in the gym.

"Is Shintaro here?" Takao whipped his head to the gym's entrance and saw a slightly older by a year or two red headed girl looking for Midorima. Who is she anyway?

(A/N: That'll be another story to come...)

.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Kaijo's gym was shook by the sudden scream of their ace player, Kise Ryouta as he clutch his phone.

"Damn(i)t Ki(se)! What (wa)s that a(ll) (ab)out?!" The team captain (which I totally forgot the name) asked, but too bad since no one understands him. Kise cried waterfall and stare at the screen of his phone where an SOS is displayed.

"He finally came back!" He said and the team sighed. How they wish Kasamatsu is here to get Kise back in shape. A popping sound was heard in his phone and a notification came into his view.

'Kudo, Tamuchi back in modeling industry'

A picture of a very familiar blonde and brunette signing a contract is displayed in the notification and this time, Kise really bursted out in tears. Literally.

"(Some)one get hi(m) (a) (buc)ket!"

.

"Atsushi, remember your eating regulations," Himuro Tatsuya reminded Murasakibara (can I just call him Mura? That's what me and my cousin call him...nope? Okay) as the purple giant kept on devouring sweets.

A popping sound was heard and it came from Mura...sakibara's phone. He read the SOS and kept a pack of sweets inside his pocket, making Himuro curious.

"Kai-chin might want these," Murasakibara answered his curiosity and Himuro widened his eyes, well at least his visible one.

'Is he seeing the Secret Ace today?'

.

The SOS for Akashi is rather...unique. The contents slightly changed into...

If the Emperor can...why can't this goddamn handsome and awesome King summon his subjects? Call time this afternoon at the place where I dump you! Peassup up, yo!✌

Akashi frowned upon what he read, but a smile came into view.

"Well, what do you know? A mere street dog barking at a majestic lion arrived."

.

Kuroko was practicing with Seirin at the moment when his phone turned off and he just have to get it. He read the SOS and called upon Riko.

"Coach," Riko slightly flinched out of shock and slowly faced Kuroko.

"Do you need anything, Kuroko-kun?"

"Can I be excuse for the afternoon practice?" He asked emotionlessly, but deep inside he is full of anxiety to see his old friend together with the others. Riko crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Why? Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?" Kuroko nodded, but ddn't speak. Riko was eager to ask him more questions when she suddenly remembered Kaiga Kudo, the Secret playerbof the Generation of Miracles. Maybe Kuroko's excuse has something to do with him?

"Okay, but you should show up tomorrow," he nodded and thanked her before getting ready to leave in a few minutes.

.

Kaiga and Mikka are waiting on Teiko's rooftop as Mikka scribble stuff in her blue notebook and Kaiga take his afternoon nap behind the blond. Mikka stopped from her work when she heard constant chattering way down the ground and took a peek, seeing six rainbow colored males and a pink haired girl. Seeing them made her smile and she decided to wake Kaiga up.

"Hey, they're here, Kaiga. Wake up," Mikka said, shaking the sleeping dork--I mean brunette, but he just sleep like a damn log. She kept on shaking Kaiga, but still no avail. A tick mark appeared on Mikka's forehead and decided to use other measures to wake him up.

"I can't believe I am doing this..." she took a deep breath and leaned down to Kaiga's face as she felt her face heat up, but disregarded it and put her lips at his left ear hthen blew into it, successfully waking the latter up.

"WAAAHHH! MOM, DON'T MAKE ME WEAR A BUNNY SUIT!" he suddenly yelled as he sprung up and hitting his forehead with Mikka's. The girl grunted as tears started to build up at the corner of her eyes and clutch her aching forehead. She was surprised that Kaiga don't feel anything at all. Although, she suddenly imagined Kaiga in a bunny suit and found it funny.

"Huh? What?" Kaiga looked towards Mikka and noticed her position and his eyes widened, panicking, "Waaaaahhh!!! I'm so sorry, Mikka! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Does it hurt?! Waah! Of course it does! Waaaahh! What should I do? What do you want? Mangoes? Are you hungry? Are you feeling dizzy? A--"

"Whaaat the--" Kaiga looked over to his back and saw a group of rainbow colored hair with eyes wide with a huge blush on their face. Momoi look slightly enraged and suddenly screamed, "DID YOU GET MIKKA-CHAN PREGNANT?!"

"WHAAAAAATTTT?!"

(After a whole 30 minutes explaining and trying to get Momoi off Kaiga from accusing him of getting Mikka pregnant)

"Now that was a good way to start our reunion," Aomine said with sarcasm and Momoi sheepishly laugh beside him.

"Jeez, why did you think that I get Mikka pregnant just by asking if she wants mangoes or if she's dizzy?" Kaiga asked with crossed arms, though his blush is still on his face.

"We just bumped our head with each other, that's all," Mikka said as she rubbed her sore forehead.

"Sorry..."

"Well...that's settled then," everyone turned serious and faced each other, or more like, they faced Kaiga. He took a deep breath and smiled at them.

"It's good to see you again, everyone," he said with a full hearted smile. They returned it and Kise spread out his arms.

"Kaigacchi! We missed you, ssu!" He exclaimed and pulled Kaiga into a bear hug, Murasakibara pouted and dropped his bag of chips.

"Oi! Kise-chin! That's unfair...why do you always get the first hug?" He asked in his usual monotone voice and joined in the hug.

"You're suffocating...me..." Kaiga said in between...heavy breaths. Aomine smirked and joined in too, crushing Kaiga even more.

"That's what you get for stomping off so suddenly and showing up in the middle of the year!" He said and Kaiga turned pale, but after a second, the hug slightly loosen and Kaiga grinned sheepishly.

"What the hell are you doing, nanodayo?" Midorima asked, pushing up his glasses

"It's called a hug, genius, ssu," Kise said and pulled the carrot tsundere into the group and squishing him together with the others. Of course he would try to get out, but Kuroko joined in too, trapping him.

"Kaiga-kun, welcome back," he said and Kaiga breathe in his words, trying to get enough oxygen.

"Oi! Akashi, join in too," Aomine said and the red head refused. The hug loosen again and Kaiga pouted.

"Oh no you don't! You hve no rights to refuse this awesome bear group hug!" He said childishky and grinned.

"I am not a child anymore, Kaiga," he refuses but the girls thought otherwise and pushed him into the group, completing the group hug, with Murasakibara trapping Akashi and Midorima to stay put as the hug tightens again.

"Can't....breathe.." The hug loosen, letting the brunette breathe. After a few deep breath, he look over to his friends and smiled, hugging them all while laughing. In just a few seconds, the others laughed too and enjoyed each others company.

The girls watch from a few meters away with smiled in their faces.

"Looks like the old gang is back together," Mikka said and Momoi nodded, taking out her phone.

"I can't let this moment slip off," she said, clicking the camera and capturing the precious moment, "Welcome back."

"It's good to be back."
