STEPBROTHER (HAIKYUU X KUROKO NO BASKETBALL SUMMER CAMP)
19

Akashi decided to make a meeting with the members of Kiseki no see today, he wanted to let them know that he was fine now. And it seems, the invitation to the meeting was warmly welcomed by his friends who willingly did not attend training just to approach Akashi Seijuro on the basketball court not far from Teiko Junior High School.

And as always, Akashi was the last person to arrive there even though he was the first to invite them. Calmly, Akashi approached the crowd of friends without feeling guilty while smiling kindly. At least Akashi's hospitality is one of the things his friends still respect.

Except for Kagami and Aomine standing up upset, not only for waiting too long for Akashi but they also feel angry at Akashi who locked himself away for several weeks without news.

"You've always been as old as ever, Akashi. You know, we're willing to skip training for you!" tell Aomine who's even more impressed by the complaint.

"Hey, Akashi! Where have you been all this time? You could have left the training camp and hid in your fancy house, when you invited us." Kagami chimed in on Aomine's complaint.

Surprisingly Akashi did not go berserk at all, he smiled while shedding tears for the first time in front of his friends. For some reason, he could feel the warmth of the friendship he carved with the members of the Vorpal Sword or Kiseki no see.

Kise, who had never seen Akashi cry, was clearly shocked. Even Midorima was embarrassed to see the Captain shed tears, to the point of making Takao smile at the experimental Midorima's face.

"Akash...." Kise pats Akashi on the shoulder, respecting Akashi as a person she recognizes after Aomine.

Akashi wiped away his tears, he let out a long sigh for a moment and began to act like he had been known by his friends. He did not want to show his weak side for too long, because he knew they were not too familiar with his personality.

"I'm sorry, I thought I was getting too carried away." Akashi smiles.

"Ah yes, so who yesterday won the summer training camp?" ask Akashi.

"My team, Akashi. Yeah, even if we had a hard time fighting Rakuzan." Aomine threw away his gaze, he was too lazy to admit the prowess of others.

"What about you kuroko, Kagami?" ask Akashi.

"We are champions three, Akashi. You see we had a little trouble beating Kise and Midorima who simultaneously took the Runner-up champion." Kuroko explained blatantly.

"So, what's the point of the last Murasakibara Team?" ask Akashi.

"Yes, because Murasakibara did not participate in the match, he said he was too tired to play and there was no Akashi also it felt the match was not exciting." Kuroko spoke again representing Murasakibara who was busier chewing her snack.

"Is that so, Murasakibara?" ask Akashi.

"Tatsuya doesn't blame her, Akashi. It's just camp training, not an official match." Murasakibara sought self-defense, Akashi also did not want to prolong the problem so he let Murasakibara escape this time.

"Yes already , if so. So, what are we gonna do now?" ask Akashi.

"Play Basketball?" ask Aomine.

"Maybe, but I can't compete with you this time."

"I just finished playing with the other Rakuzan members earlier and I realized there are some of my abilities that have not been optimal again, I do not want to disappoint you and I also do not want you to realize my shortcomings. So, I think for training alone for some time recently to be able to look good again." Akashi smiles.

"Yes, we understand. We will also be waiting for you to perform again in the National match with excellence and optimal." Kagami seemed confident saying it.

"Surely, I wish I could fight back with all of you." Akashi said, at the same time the footsteps of someone who approached them with a face full of bruises and Teiko Basketball uniform clothes that looked shabby.

The person immediately hid behind Murasakibara's body that looked big, his eyes looked full of fear and his body movements were hiding from something creepy.

Before long, a crowd of strangers in Shiratorizawa Academy school uniforms approached them. However, there was not a single shred of fear from the junior's face towards the crowd of Vorpal Sword Members that infuriated Aomine and kagami.

"What did you do to him? You think violence is the right thing," said Kuroko who is not happy to see her underclassmen treated like that, especially now she is an alumni of Teiko school.

"Hey High School boy! You don't have to interfere in our affairs, let us finish off this big-mouthed Teiko Middle School kid."

"Well, no fuss about people." Kagami stood in front, he was not a Teiko alumni but he was quite furious underestimated by the Junior High from Shiratorizawa.

Fortunately, Kuroko deftly hit Kagami's stomach so that he calmed down despite being the laughing stock of Shiratorizawa Junior High School.

"Calm down, Kagami-kun. You can't play violence against them, especially if they're still Junior High. " Kuroko advised Kagami.

"But they've hit your Junior and been disrespectful to us, Kuroko."

"I know, Kagami. But not everything has to be done in a violent way. I'm just as upset as you are, even Akashi-kun and the others are also very upset but they're holding back at the moment." Kagami and Kuroko look at each other after seeing the gripping facial features of other friends, including Takao who was also upset at the time.

"Hey, Kagami! You should hear Tetsuya this time, we can't just beat them up. Although I'm much more upset than you, because indirectly they've trampled my Junior High School first." Aomine patted Kagami on the shoulder with a gripping look, now Kagami can understand that calm is the only much wiser attitude to do at this time.

"You've gone too far, your attitude really doesn't reflect the Shiratorizawa basketball uniform you're wearing right now." Akashi began to open up a conversation that had been quiet.

"It's none of your business! Some lack of work really interfere in the affairs of Junior High School children," complained someone who seemed to be the captain of the Basketball Team.

While Teiko's bruised son is still hiding behind Murasakibara's body, he is too afraid to say anything.

"You've hurt our Junior, we won't stay silent!" akashi Threat.

But the captain laughed, "It's none of your business! Besides that kid's just a reserve team in Teiko, so losing one member doesn't bring down Teiko's team's strength either, right? Since when does Tim Teiko care about the bench members like him," the lead again that makes Akashi furious.

Akashi immediately grabbed the collar of Shiratorizawa Junior High's basketball captain who happened to have the same height as him.
