Meeting

---Later the same day----

While relaxing on the sofa with his mother, Zen heard familiar footsteps coming, fixing his eyes in the door he saw Akashi coming in with a satisfied smile, looking at him he couldn't help but ask ''I can see you had fun, how cruel of you making me wait. ''Faking cry.

''Good joke Zen, I just met some interesting people.''He said while keeping his smile.

''I can see, anyway Dad accepted the offer but we need to win, you already knew it so no need to worry, still It's a victory for me,'' Zen said while doing a V sign.

''Ahah I did know, it will all be the same together we won't lose.'' he stopped before continuing ''I found 6 interesting people, well 1 was missing but since the captain said he was good after watching us play it means he is interesting. They are a tan-skinned kid called Aomine, a Giant with purple hair called Murasakibara, a green-haired guy with glasses called Midorima, the captain Nijimura, a blue-haired kid from the 3rd string called Kuroko and the guy that didn't come is Shougo, I played with the first 3 and they were good at my level. to be exact.''Said Akashi as if giving a report.

''I see and what caught your eye in that Kuroko?''Zen asked, he already knew he would help Kuroko become the shadow but still, he wanted to know.

''He has absolutely no presence and in the court that would help a lot if he manages to just change the direction of the ball without the people realizing,'' Akashi answered.

Looking bored at his response Zen said ''Actually forget it make him come to the 1st string and train him if you think that he will help the team, your judgment is most of the time spot on, besides we don't have anything to lose.'' then looking turning his attention back to the Tv he said ''Tomorrow will be fun.''

Sitting by his side Akashi couldn't help but say ''Don't do anything too extreme.''

-------Next day In lunchtime------

Zen was having lunch bellow a tree peacefully when he saw a familiar pink-haired girl coupled with her slender body he realized who was passing by.''I know her from somewhere...'' he wondered getting up and running to that familiar back he tapped her back and said ''Hello can I talk to you for a second?''

**kyaa**Getting slightly startled the pink-haired girl threw her lunch box to the sky.

Reacting quickly Zen picked the lunch box mid-air and looked at the girl before apologizing ''Ahh sorry sorry, I thought you looked familiar so I could help it.''

Looking at his apologetic face the girl couldn't help but ask ''It's okay... I don't think we met before so... who might you be?''

''Well we met now so it counts, I am Zen Akashi nice to meet you, by the way, you can call me Zen, can I know your name?'' he asked with a bright smile.

Slightly flustered by his smile she answered '' I- I'm Momoi Satsuki''.

Looking at her he couldn't help but ask '' Can I call you Momo-chan?''

In Momo only nodded shyly, before saying in a hurry ''I have to go and talk to a friend, s-so see you later.'' before running away.

''Waaa! She is way more beautiful and cute in person.'' He said walking back to his spot and eating.''I wonder what her reaction will be when she sees me in the court later.'' he couldn't help but hum while eating happily his food.

For the girls looking at the Handsome youth under the tree, some got a nosebleed, and others couldn't help but take a picture of the boy. (ACTUALLY, THAT IS BEING A STALKER, BEING HANDSOME HAS ITS DOWNSIDES UH!)

Time passed quickly and it was finally time to go to the club. And right now Zen was seriously pondering on something important...His 1st impression ''So should I be late and smash them or should I go in time and win points with Momo-chan and squash them and win more points in her mind, win fanboys or a girl admiration... well forget it it's not like I need to be looked up by men.'' packing up his stuff and running to the locker room.

Looking inside he didn't see anyone ''Looks like I ran too fast, well who cares I should go to the court quickly I want to pick the ball already.

Time slowly passed and people started getting inside while Zen was teaching in the 1st string court, looking at his action people couldn't help but ask if he was well in the head since no one saw him yesterday.

Looking at the bench Zen saw Momo and ran to her. ''Momo-chan what are you doing?''

Getting scared for the second time today she couldn't but say. ''Could appear normally? Besides, why are you here?

''I will be playing here you know? It's destiny, how about going for a date sometime?'' he asked at her and couldn't help but chuckle at her blushing face.

''I-I don't know you well enough for that,'' she said while avoiding eye contact.

''Ohh so if we know each other better we can go? How bold Momo-chan, but I can't wait that long how about we do a bet? I defeat the best people in the first string and we go for a date when you have the time if I lose I won't be pestering you how about it?'' He asked while looking at her darkish-pink eyes.

''No I wouldn't win anything, how about paying me an ice cream?'' she said while blushing.

''Ahahahah Deal!'' he said jumping of happiness.

After almost 15 minutes everyone in the 1st court could be seen except Shogo Haizaki.

The coach introduced ''These two are our new members Zen Akashi and the other one is Kuroko Tetsuya.''

This announcement caused an uproar to those who were yesterday they knew Kuroko was pretty ordinary and the other one was the brother of their new vice Captain so they couldn't help but think he got in because of his brother.

Aomine said slightly angry ''Ehhh? Ain't it unfair if he gets in without a test like us coach?''.

Midorima nodded and said ''I agree with Aomine.''

Murasakibara on the contrary was on the bench not caring at all." where are my candies?"

While Nijimura couldn't help but voice out ''I think they are right coach.''

Meanwhile, by the coach's side, Momoi couldn't help but be a bit worried thinking this wouldn't end well.

Seeing their reactions Zen couldn't help but laugh out loud.'' AHAHAHAH You guys are right, how about I play a game vs the captain? 1v1 or maybe you can add some more people to your team no problem.'' He said seriously in which his confidence shook the people in the court slightly.

Looking at his hungry eyes Nijimura couldn't help but feel a cold shiver go down his spine. but before he could answer he heard Aomine say ''I want to see where your confidence comes from, go against me 1st.''

----After warming up a bit---

Both of them were standing opposite to each other Aomine being the first to Attack.
