Spark | Kuroko no Basuke x OC

Free! As a Butterfly

And she couldn't believe that her team acted so smitten with the girl!

A smirk formed across Riko's features. Well, it was a good time to unleash her newest training plan on the team—something she liked to call 'The Hell-Bound Regimen.'

The team groaned at the positively evil look in the coach's eyes. If only Tomoko was here...

Tomoko walked up to the meeting place they had agreed on the previous night and was surprised to see that the handsome blonde model was already there waiting for her.

"Thank you for coming, Kuma-cchi!" Kise cried as she came up to him. He was sporting a thin gray hoodie, ripped jeans and sunglasses, but even then, he was still more stunning than the average Japanese male. "Sorry you had to miss Seirin's practice today~"

He was smiling apologetically; internally, however, he really wasn't sorry. He was quite delighted.

"It's not a problem! Thanks to you, I finished my English assignment last night," Tomoko grinned sheepishly. After the blonde had asked for the favor, they ended up talking for a while longer, and when she admitted that she was having trouble with her English, he jumped right into helping her.

Kise Ryouta wasn't good at many things aside from basketball, but being a rising model with a popularity reaching as far as a few major cities in America, English was his forte.

"Plus Riko-san said I could skip today, so I'm all yours!"

All mine... Kise felt like he was floating on air. She didn't even know the effect of her words. "Well, let's get going, shall we~?"

She nodded pleasantly. "Where are we going anyway?" When the blonde asked for her help, he only revealed very general details; they were going to a company at the center of Tokyo where his sister worked.

"My oldest sister, the one who got me into modeling for Zunon Boy, is a fashion designer. She recently designed a line of summer fashion and want some of it showcased in magazines before she does her fashion show," Kise said excitedly.

"Oh, that's amazing!" There was stars in Tomoko's eyes. Imagining seeing the mastermind behind the designs of trendy clothing raised her enthusiasm tenfold. She looked at Kise with admiration,"So you will be modeling the new clothes?"

"Yup! But not just me, you too," Kise laughed as he added. "One of the female models couldn't make it today, so my sister is one model short," he explained with a broad grin, not being able to contain how happy he was. "So she asked me to find a stand-in. I just know you'll be the perfect person for this, Kuma-cchi~!"

"W-What?!"

-----

"She's what?!"

It came as a surprise to the team that Kagami was the one who vocalized his shock the loudest when Riko announced to the team that Tomoko would be gone for the day's practice because 'Kise Ryouta had asked her out.'

Why is that brat with Kise, of all people?! Kagami mulled with the twitch of his eye. After the short meet-up with the ace of Teiko, Aomine Daiki, he had a bone to pick with the members of the Generation of Miracles.

Izuki regarded the redhead with a serious expression before he nodded with zeal as a new pun came to mind. "You're mad... Madly in love?"

"T-That's not it!" the Seirin ace stuttered, red in the face. Where was the upperclassman getting that from?! "I just can't b-believe she skipped out on practice! It's undedicated!"
