The Mysterious Nanase Haruka
Excited and unable to sleep, Kise was up early the next day. Not only was he going to be playing basketball with everyone so soon again, he'd be able to play on the same team as his beloved Kurokocchi. Grinning to himself, he continued his jog, detouring around town before heading to the gym they were using. Humming to himself, he rounded the corner only to let out a squeal, to which he will never admit, when he suddenly collided with something. But judging from the grunt that it let out, that something was a someone.
Looking down, spouting rambling apologies, Kise cut himself off, looking mildly terrified, as he met the harsh glare of the person he knocked down. "Nanase... Haruka.."
The man looked away and got up, dusting himself off. "How do you know my name."
"Huh? U-Um, yesterday, Kurokocchi told us about you a-and, u-um,"
"Tetsuya. Hmph." He straightened up and met Kise's gaze with a blank expression, similar to Kuroko's, but it held something more.
Kise wasn't sure what it was, but all he could assume it was was annoyance or irritation and he was surprised to see how short the man was. He started apologising again, saying he was in a rush to get to the gym, before stopping abruptly as he realised he was outside the gym. "Wait, why are 'you' here?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow as he crossed his arms.
Haruka's lips thinned, pressing into a tight line as he remained resolutely silent.
"You aren't here to spy on Kurokocchi are you??" He suddenly asked before glaring. "If you're here to cause Kurokocchi any trouble-"
"Haru!"
Kise jumped at the new voice. Or rather voices.
"Haru-chan!"
"Haruka-senpai!"
"Oi! HARU!"
Kise looked back at Haru, noting how the man's eyes widened slightly, before he resumed moving, ducking past Kise and disappearing round another corner.
Kise looked back in front of him and another yelp left him as he almost collided with four more bodies. He took in the sight of a tall brunette, a short blonde, a tallish dark haired man with glasses and another tall man with bright red hair, making him think of Akashi, and shark like teeth. Wait, shark like teeth?? "Ahh!!" Kise jumped back, arms up defensively.
The brunette and the glasses dude jumped in turn and the redhead just glowered at him. "What." He spat.
"Uh, uh uh," he stammered and jumped when the blonde was suddenly right in front of him, gripping the front of his shirt, shaking him slightly.
"Have you seen Haru-chan!?"
"Haru-chan??"
"Oi Nagisa," The brunette said, almost whining.
"Let him go Nagisa-kun now's not the time, we need to be searching for Haruka-senpai and harassing this man is not a good way to start." Glasses guy said, pushing his glasses up.
"Mako-chan, Rei-chan," The blonde, Nagisa, most definitely whined. "He might've seen him!"
"Hey,"
Kise's gaze snapped up to the redhead. "Yeah?"
"Well? Have you seen Haru?"
"Nanase Haruka?"
All of their heads snapped to face him. "How do you know his name."
"My friend, Kurokocchi, played basketball a few times with him in grade school."
"Haru!??" Rin exclaimed as Rei's jaw dropped. "Since when does that guy do anything but swim??"
"Um, please continue," The brunette, Mako-chan, said seriously.
"He, um, he said he used to play with a Kisumi, and Haruka sometimes played too."
"Makoto-senpai, who's Kisu-"
"Really!? He played with Kisumi!? Makoto what the hell is this!?" The redhead yelled.
Makoto ignored the others. "Yes, yes that's him! Where did he go??"
"Um, that way," He said, pointing in the direction but he barely finished speaking before the four were already running past him.
"Ah, thank you!" The blonde called.
"Sorry for the trouble," Makoto called back as well before they all disappeared around the same corner Haru went down, yelling for Haruka.
Kise stared at where they left his sight. ".............. what the hell just happened?"
