Aomine stared down at the redhead g

Aomine stared down at the redhead grumpily while said redhead stared back up at him expectantly. Everyone else was off playing basketball while he was here, stuck in an awkward stare down with mini Kagami.

Aomine sighed and despairingly thought to himself, 'Why did it have to be me?'



After experiencing the shock of finding out that Kagami apparently forgot how to play basketball, everyone started firing off questions at once.

"What're you talking about Kagami?!!"

"Waah!! Kagamicchi forgot how to play!!! What're we gonna do now?!!"

"Noo!!! We lost our Ace!! How are we gonna defeat the Miracles in the Kanto tournament now?!!"

"Idiots!! The team is not just Kagami!!"

"What has the world come to?!!"

"Hmm, it makes sense."

The chattering halted when they heard Kuroko speak up.

"What do you mean by that, Kuroko-kun?" asked Riko.

Kuroko waited until everyone was paying attention before he started his explanation, "Well, I do believe that Kagami-kun started playing basketball during his middle school years in America. If I'm not mistaken, Himuro-kun was the one that introduced the sport to Kagami-kun in the first place. It makes sense that his reversal in age also involves a reversal in mind. In other words, Kagami-kun currently only has the memories of when he was the age he is now."

Everyone looked a little thoughtful at that. It was still a hard concept to grasp that Kagami reversed in age in the first place. Having to come up with theories as to how this happened and what are its effects are the best they could do right now. No one had a clue as to how to fix it, so they'll just have to get adjusted to the change and quickly learn how else Kagami was affected.

"Well then, at least this is something we can solve easily!" Momoi said while clapping her hands cheerfully.

"What do you propose, Momoi-san?" questioned Kuroko.

Momoi gave a mischievous grin before turning around and pointing at an out of place looking Aomine.

"Dai-chan!"

"Huh?"

"Dai-chan!" Momoi continued, "You will teach Kagamin how to play basketball!"

"HUH?!! Why would I do that? There's no way he's learning from me!" protested an indignant Aomine.

"Because Dai-chan, everyone else is going to be playing a match of basketball, and neither Aida-san nor I have enough skills to teach him. You're the only one not doing anything, so instead of lazing around, you'll be doing something productive!" explained Momoi.
Aomine hurried to come up with an excuse until his eyes landed on Midorima. "What about Midorima? He isn't doing anything either! Force him to do this instead!"

"Actually, I have to meet up with Takao in a few minutes. I'd rather not be late-nanodayo." Midorima refuted hurriedly.

Momoi turned to Aomine triumphantly. "See! Everyone has something to do but you Dai-chan! Now, you better do this or I'll tell your mom that you've been skipping practice again!" threatened Momoi.

"You wouldn't!" challenged Aomine.

Momoi simply took out her pink phone and dialed a number. After the first ring, you could hear the voice of a woman answering.

"Hello aunty! No, nothing's wrong. I just wanted to let you know that Aomine—"

Aomine quickly rushed to Momoi using his unbelievable speed and snatched away the phone from her person and placed it on his ear,

"—that I'll arrive later than usual today. I'm hanging out with a few....friends." he finished off, slightly hesitating on the last part.

After finishing off his explanation, he handed the phone back to Satsuki while glaring at her resentfully.

Momoi smiled and threw him a basketball that she snatched from out of nowhere.

"Alright then! Off you go!"





Oh, right. That evil woman.

A tug at the hem of his shirt brought him out of his musings.

He glared down, annoyed, at that stupid Bakagami. The redhead only kept on looking at him expectantly. He sighed and decided that this was a necessary sacrifice. A Kagami that couldn't play basketball just wasn't a Kagami anymore.

"Fine fine, but you better pay close attention." Aomine spoke out resignedly.

Kagami only nodded excitedly and was nearly shaking in anticipation.

Aomine sighed once again and picked up the basketball that was at his feet. He started to slowly dribble the ball in place and spoke up,

"Okay, so this is what you do. You grab the ball like this, see?" Nod. "Okay. Then you just bounce the ball and make sure it doesn't leave from where you can reach it. Here, try it."

Aomine made sure to pass the ball without much force. Kagami fumbled with the ball for a little until he steadied it in his grasp. The sight was quite comical. The basketball was way too big for his hands. In fact, it was bigger than his whole head!

Kagami seemed undeterred by this and determinedly bounced the ball with one hand. Apparently he used too much force because the ball went sailing over his head.

"Ah!" Kagami exclaimed and extended his tiny arms out in order to catch it.

Aomine caught it for him and handed it back. Kagami took it with a blush of shame on his cheeks before frowning and tightly grasping the ball. He turned away again and this time, with a little less force, bounced the ball with one hand. The ball bounced back and Kagami started to lightly dribble the ball, looking unsure. When he saw that the ball wasn't going anywhere else, Kagami seemed to gain more confidence and started to walk around while bouncing the ball and interchanging hands.
