A/N: Hello again~ For those who haven't read Kuroko Investigation yet, I suggest you to read it first before continue reading this fanfic. I have to admit that I left plenty holes in Kuroko Investigation and got a request to write the sequel. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but rather than a sequel, I would say that Kagami Interrogation is more like a spin-off to Kuroko Investigation.
This fanfic consist of a prologue and four short stories (testimonies from Generation of Miracles). If you read carefully enough, you may be able to figure out when they started going out. Anyway, hope you'll enjoy these short stories and give me some more pineapples~ (I mean review/feedback XD)
Seirin held a small party after practice to celebrate Kagami's birthday. They sure loved their Ace, ignoring the fact they had 'tortured' him the other day in order to get the information about Kuroko's boyfriend. On the other hand, Kagami had forgiven Kuroko (who ditched him), not because Kuroko gave him a very special birthday's present as an apology, but because he never could stay mad at him for long. Kagami always forgave Kuroko, no matter what he did.
"I'm home." said Kagami when he opened the door to his apartment. He lived there by himself and usually wouldn't expected anyone to answer that. However, today was special.
"Welcome home. Happy birthday, Taiga!" Himuro welcomed him with a birthday cake and bright smile.
"Congrats~" said Murasakibara who pulled the party poppers, halfheartedly.
"Tha-" Kagami was about to thank Himuro when he noticed Murasakibara. "Why is he here?"
It was Himuro who wanted to celebrate Kagami's birthday at his apartment so Kagami naturally thought it would be just the two of them.
"Sorry, Taiga." Himuro felt sorry and a bit helpless. "When I mentioned your birthday, which equals to food, Atsushi insisted to join the party. Besides, it seems he has something to talk with you." It seemed Himuro told Murasakibara before about Kagami being an excellent cook.
"Huh?" Kagami had no clue what Murasakibara wanted to talk with him about.
Unfortunately, there was still more surprises reserved for Kagami.
"You're here too, Murasakibara?" Aomine appeared out of blue behind Kagami.
"What the-?!" Kagami was more than surprised to find more uninvited guests at a time like this.
"Mine-chin~" Murasakibara didn't expect this either. "Kise-chin and Mido-chin too?"
Aomine showed up on Kagami's door step, along with Kise and Midorima. Anyone could guess they had a meeting somewhere before. But what's more interesting was Aomine's and Kise's appearances. Aomine had nail's scratches on his cheek (probably Momoi's doing), cracked lips and faint bruises on his face. Kise practically had similar appearance but without nail's scratches, though overall looked more awful.
In the end, Kagami had no choice but to invite them in. That wasn't all. He had to cook for them as well. It was hard to tell who had to get special treatment on their birthday. Was this can even be called a birthday party?
I might've had my luck run out during Winter Cup, Kagami thought to himself bitterly.
"So, why'd you guys end up crashing at my place?" Kagami wanted to know why they took refuge at his apartment.
"You know why." Aomine replied in upset tone, contradicting his action in which he was chomping down Kagami's cooking delightfully.
"Huh?" Kagami had no idea what Aomine was talking about.
"It's because you spread the rumor about Tetsu's boyfriend." Aomine blamed Kagami for being the prime suspect of ruining the peace between the members of Generation of Miracles.
"Why would you do such a thing, Kagamicchi?!" Kise never thought that Kagami would do this to them.
"I'm sure Taiga has a reason." Himuro stood up for Kagami.
Kagami was speechless. To put it simple, these guys refused to accept the truth that Kuroko is in relationship. If that was the case, wouldn't it be faster to ask Kuroko directly? And why they running in circles over this matter? Who entitled these guys Generation of Miracles again? Generation of Idiots suit them better!
"Ahem!" Midorima cleared his throat. "Let's not jump to conclusion just yet. Kagami, how long have you known about Kuroko's relationship?"
"Mido-chin, I wanted to ask him that." Murasakibara sulked.
"Why do I have to answer this?" Kagami felt that he had no obligation to follow their demand.
"I have had enough!" Kise was in the edge of mental breakdown if they didn't solve this mystery soon. "Just admit it already! Who's dating Kurokocchi exactly? I know it's not you, Aominecchi."
Nobody said anything. It seemed everybody was honest.
These guys are hopeless... Kagami couldn't help but feel amazed.
"Kise..." Aomine turned to Kise, looking miserable. "You're forgetting someone..."
"Huh?" Kise didn't get whom Aomine meant.
"Don't tell me..." However, Midorima soon realized that they was indeed missing one person, someone who had the lowest probability of being a suspect.
"It's Akashi." Aomine was not the only one who found this unbelievable.
"Finally!" Kagami exclaimed, waiting for the moment these idiots came to their senses.
"Yup, yup." Murasakibara nodded.
"You knew all along?" Midorima doubted him.
"Nope~ I had my doubt but I've seen them holding hands somewhere. Now that I give it a thought..." Murasakibara reminiscing from his past memories in Teikou Middle School. "Akashi always gave me a hard time after I touched Kurochin..."
Aomine and Kise exchanged look. What Murasakibara just said made sense to them. Sometimes they questioned (just in their minds though) why Akashi gave them extra special hellish trainings that made them barely survived to see another day. Could it be that's because Akashi was aware they making moves on Kuroko?
"It never in fact happened to me." said Midorima proudly.
"Yeah?" Aomine doubted it.
"You think so?" Kise also didn't believe that one bit.
"But Kurochin hates you~" Murasakibara voiced his thought.
"What did you say?" Midorima was a little upset, thinking that Murasakibara deliberately said that to annoy him.
With that said, they finally understood the cause of Kuroko's cold attitude towards Midorima, even though Midorima often cared for him when Kuroko was troubled keeping up with the practice when they were in First String. Kuroko might have thought of him as love rival or something because Midorima was always around Akashi, creating an impenetrable barrier for Kuroko to have a private time with Akashi.
"Let me get this straight. I didn't spread the rumor." Kagami cut their nostalgic story telling before it strayed too far from the topic and became a never ending discussion. This always happened whenever the story involved Kuroko, especially during the days when they was in Teikou Middle School. "Just so you know, it wasn't a rumor but the truth. I knew he's going out with one of you but I didn't know whom until I saw that picture."
They look taken aback, as if none of them recognized anything about this.
"Which picture?" Kise asked with his cellphone at hand, ready to search through his photo collections.
"Your recent get together picture?" replied Kagami, feeling unsure whether the picture he was talking about was the newest one or not.
Once again, they were surprised. Momoi who organized the photo session did offer the data file after they took the picture but only Kise and Akashi accepted, while the others refused, thinking that it's a girly stuff. Although Momoi did print a copy especially for Kuroko on the spot.
"This one?" Kise let the others see his cellphone's wallpaper, in which he cut the original picture showing only him and Kuroko.
Seeing this scene always angered Aomine but somehow he managed not to hit Kise this time or snap the phone in halves.
"Yup." Kagami nodded.
Kise searched through his photo collections and pulled out the original picture then showed it to everyone.
Momoi, the organizer of this photo session, smiling happily and feeling grateful that they could have a chance to take the picture together again.
Midorima looked at the camera, smiling and thinking that he's the coolest of all.
Kise with gaze fixed on the camera, putting his left thumb up while his free right hand finding Kuroko's buns. Of course, he couldn't resist.
Aomine who happened to see Kise's doing was furious.
Kuroko who was holding the basketball startled, turning his gaze to Kise who molesting him at a time like this.
Akashi with his Emperor Eye took the chance to hold Kuroko's hand when he was caught off guard by Kise. A perfect timing naturally created where the ball left Kuroko's hand and censored their hands from the front.
However, Murasakibara who was the tallest and stood at the back, witnessing this particular yet brief scene.
They finally realized that the truth they was looking for had been there all the time. It wasn't that they was ignorant, but since they rarely saw the two of them together, they never thought of the possibility. How did Akashi and Kuroko manage to hide their relationship from them?
"Any idea when they started going out?" Kagami was first to break the silence because Generation of Miracles had not yet overcome the shock.
They exchanged looks and fell into a deep thought a second later, trying to dig through their deepest memories.
"Anyone remembers the love letter incident?" Kise started the story after racking his brain.
"Which incident?" Aomine had no recollection of such incident happened.
Kise told the story of a love letter that leaded them to a huge misunderstanding. Aomine almost murdered Kise on the spot when he learned about the fact.
"As for me, I think it must be since that Valentine Day." said Midorima confidently, ignoring Kise's story.
No one had particular memories about this occasion so they had to listen to Midorima's story carefully. But in the end, they couldn't prove whether Akashi had received chocolate from Kuroko, or otherwise.
"I remember there's a time when Aka-chin was alone with Kuro-chin~" Apparently Murasakibara had a story to tell too.
"When was that?" Midorima never saw the two of them together.
Murasakibara told them the entire story that only he knew. The event that took place after Kuroko challenged Murasakibara and Midorima for a three on three match.
"We're trying to find out when they started going out, not what they have done during their date!"
"Eh?" Murasakibara objected. "It could be the best chance for them to admit their feelings for each other."
"Nah!" Aomine rejected Murasakibara's opinion. "If anything happened, it's when we're on that hot spring trip."
"I don't recall anything unusual happened." As far as Kise could remember, nothing occurred except Kuroko had loss of consciousness and almost drowned in the pool.
Aomine told the story how Akashi and Kuroko had a chance to be together. Kise couldn't control himself after listening to Aomine's story and the others had to restrain him.
The discussion was heating up because no one was backing down from their own opinions.
"Taiga, Kuroko-kun never told you about it?" Himuro reconfirmed with Kagami, in case Kuroko told him anything.
"Not a word." Kagami shook his head. "I assumed he was dating Akashi when they're in Teikou but broke up before they entered high school."
Apparently Generation of Miracles had a good guess when Akashi and Kuroko went separate ways. It was after Teikou Middle School won their national championships three years in row. They never saw Kuroko at school ever since, as if he had disappeared after quitting Teikou's basketball club.
"Now that they're back together again, shouldn't you just let them be happy?" Kagami suggested.
"It's easy for you to say." Kise who was broken heart and feeling betrayed, couldn't let go of this issue easily.
The other three was probably feeling the same. They was determined to find out about the truth but when they finally did, they found it hard to deal with the reality. No matter people entitled them as prodigies, they was just a mere teenage boy still.
"How pathetic. Guess I can beat you guys easily." Kagami stood up, scooping the basketball nearby. "Who's up? I can take it as a consolation for crashing my birthday party?"
"Don't get too cocky." Aomine stood up, accepting the challenge.
"I'm on." said Midorima, full of confident that he could beat Kagami this time.
"Count me in." Kise raised his hand.
"Me too~" Murasakibara was excited that he could rematch with Kagami.
"Guess it'll be three on three then." Himuro counted the members.
And so, they continued to celebrate Kagami's birthday and their broken heart party by playing a three on three match in the middle of the night.
