Well, it's actually a gift from me to you. So, I hope you'll enjoy it.

"Butterfly Effect"

Summary: They're in their last year of High School, everything was going smooth…until Kuroko entered his classroom and faced to faced his old love interest and old best friend Ogiwara Shigehiro. It would be a big mess if a certain red-head meets him, wouldn't it be? It's not like Kuroko'll hide the truth to Akashi…will he? Sequel to Everlasting Requiem. Please READ AND REVIEW!

Chapter One:

Kuroko Tetsuya, phantom player of both Seirin Gakuen and Former Generation of Miracles, jolted awake when his alarm clock rang loudly beside his left ear. He quickly sat up and let his hand search for his clock. It rang for almost a minute before he got hold of it and turned it off. He placed it back on top of his bedside table and stretched his arms in the air. "It's morning already…?" He complained and looked outside his window. Yup, it is morning already since the sun rays are quite bright and warm against his room's cold ground and against his cooled skin.

He finished folding his blankets and was taking out his school clothes when there was a knock on his door. "Tetsu? You awake already? It's your first day in your last year in High School. Better not be late." He heard his brother, Takumi Kuroko, remind from before his room's door.

He slightly smiled at that, remembering how he just figured out that his brother had his other side. A side who had a brother complex, always clinging and wailing for his younger brother's attention when he wanted it. It was just like yesterday when his father was abusing them, bossing them around and mouthing them with harsh words; when his mother was so busy just like his father that she had no time for her sons; when his brother was so concentrated into being a perfect son that he abandoned his own brother in his times of need. It was just like yesterday when his meeting with the Generation of Miracle members changed a lot as his past haunted his again and he was abducted because of his past by his own father's best friend. It was all thanks to a certain red-head who loved and still love him, who protected him and stood beside him all this time.

Sei-kun.

"Oi, Tetsu? Are you getting up or I'll need to kick this door open?" His brother called out again.

"I'm already awake since awhile ago, Onii-san, no need to break my door. I'll be downstairs after about fifteen to twenty minutes." He finally replied back and prepared his clothes, took a towel and headed inside his room's bathroom to take a bath.

After a ten minute bath, he put on Seirin's seniors' clothes and fixed his necktie before grabbing his bag and heading downstairs.

He placed his bag on the couch and strode to the dining room where his whole family was busily preparing breakfast. His mother was cooking; his father was preparing the utensils as his brother took out bottles of milk and poured water on cups of coffee on the table.

"Is Tetsu not ready yet?" Nuriko Kuroko, his mother, asked as she put another sunny side up on one plate of theirs.

"He said he'd be done after fifteen to twenty minutes." Takumi replied.

"Eighteen minutes already passed." Kazuhiko Kuroko, his father, pointed out with a slight frown.

He slightly smiled and raised his hand a little. "Um, good morning, I'm already here."

Everyone turned his head and blinked with wide eyes at him. "T-TETSUYA? How long have you been there?!"

"About two to three minutes now." He responded and sat on his seat, as the other three did the same.

Rustles and clatters of utensils were heard as Kuroko Family members started to eat their breakfast together, which was very rare to all of them. "So, it's the start of your last year in High School…" Kazuhiko mumbled.

He nodded. "Yes indeed. Time flied quite fast."

"So you only have few months left in playing basketball with Seirin Gakuen, then."

That fact saddened him as he nodded once again. "It's saddening, but it's the truth."

"I think winning the Nationals for three times are enough memories for all of you, Tetsuya." Takumi chided as he chuckled.

He suddenly recalled all of their teamworked victories and he couldn't help his smile. "Yes, I think those were enough. We probably should just guide the new and talented new members of the team, then."

"How is Akashi Seijuuro doing, by the way, Tetsu?" His mother mumbled with a sly smile on her face. Since the accident ended, she has been monitoring her son's and Akashi's relationship; and instead of being upset or disappointed—it's like she's pushing the two closer together than they already were.

"Mom…" He complained. "I think you just asked that a day ago."

She couldn't help chuckling with her younger son's pouting and embarrassed expression. "Oh, have I?"

Takumi glanced at his brother's expression and smirked a little before finally barging in his mother's schemes. "Ok, ok, enough with that, Mom. Our little Tetsuya might start crying and wailing, you don't want that, do you?"

"I don't cry or wail." Kuroko protested with a frown, which you don't usually see on his face.

Takumi raised his hands and chuckled a little more. "Alright, you don't."

Kuroko, feeling a little cornered as his father gave him a little smirk, as well, quickly finished the last bits of his food and stood up. "I'm going now, Mom, Dad, Oniisan."

He took his bag and headed to the front veranda to put on his shoes and went out of the house.

"Take care, Tetsuya." Takumi added behind him.

He turned and felt a little touched with how sincere and worried his brother's expression was. Takumi had seen enough pain, he had seen enough sufferings, he had endured enough as well; perhaps that's why he's still a little traumatized even if two years had already passed. He nodded. "Yes, take care to the three of you too." He responded and went out of the gate and began to walk towards Seirin Gakuen. He began to walk towards a new chapter of his life.

~LFMH021~

He placed his outdoor shoes inside his locker and put on his indoor shoes. He secured that his feet were properly in and closed his locker before grabbing his bag and headed towards the bulletin where one's section was usually posted. After seeing only few students that stood before it, he concluded that he might have arrived earlier than he planned.

He walked towards the bulletin and tiptoed to look for his name without being noticed by others like usual. He looked at Class C first and didn't find his name there, so he went to the lower sections and still didn't find his name, so he blinked and turned back to Class B and still didn't find his name.

Don't say they even forgot about my name? Wait…can names possess misdirection?

No…that's impossible…or isn't it?

He gulped a little and went to Class A and surprised himself upon finding his name on it. Why was he surprised? Maybe because of the fact that their school's students' sections were categorized depending on their grades and not 'first come, first serve' type of school. He double-checked the spelling of his name and the room it was in.

I am in the first section…That's odd.

He looked for his 'light's' name next and found it just few names above his. He couldn't help smiling. Since they became schoolmates, they never got separated. They always wounded up in the same sections and ended up sitting either side by side or back and front. And as invisible as he usually was, even if he slept at times inside the room, the one who was always noticed was Kagami.

He nodded to himself and headed towards 3-Class A which was on the third floor of this building. Others complained on how tall and high their school building were, but if they looked at the positive side—it was just like an exercise to all of them with no fees needed.

He was panting when he arrived at the third floor of their building and stopped to take some rest before taking a deep breath and continued his walk towards their room. He held its' door's handle and slowly slid it to the left to open it when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated and rang wildly which greatly startled him.

He sighed in relief after he managed to take it out and finally answered it without looking at the ID Caller.

"Hello?" He started with a whisper and slid open his room's door.

"Tetsuya?"

His heart jumped a little with the familiar call and familiar voice on the other line and didn't notice his other classmates' – well, there are just five persons inside the classroom, so not like it mattered- gazes towards him. If not because of the door's noise, they wouldn't have noticed the phantom player's arrival. Nonetheless, Kuroko forgot all about them after hearing a certain red-head's voice.

"Yes, Sei-kun?" He replied and looked for vacant seat. After finding an asleep Kagami on few chairs away, he couldn't help smiling and quickly headed to the seat infront of his 'light' and placed his bag on the table's side.

"I greatly apologize for not being able to come to school with you earlier. An urgent emergency suddenly emerged, and I was needed." The red-head sincerely apologized.

He shook his head and headed towards the room's windows, still not noticing the presence of a dark-head just few meters away from him. He leaned against one windowsill and stared at the clear sky outside. "No, it's alright, Sei-kun. I understand your situation fully well, so no pressure." He mumbled.

"Hm…Then shall I make it up for you?" Akashi whispered using his teasing tone which he only used towards the teal-head.

He gulped and tried to compose himself. "That's—"

"Kuroko?" a new yet at the same time familiar voice queried from beside him.

He blinked and turned his head. His eyes widened upon seeing the face of Ogiwara Shigehiro, his best friend when he was still in Elementary until his last year in Teiko. Under certain circumstances and events, the two needed to part and separate ways with sadness and anger in their hearts. When Ogiwara Shigehiro relocated, he gave the phantom player a black wristband, a memory of their friendship and requested him to continue playing basketball even if the dark-head, himself, would quit doing so. They had a deep friendship and it was ruined by Akashi…but Kuroko just couldn't get that mad to his former captain.

"Ogiwara Shigehiro…?" He replied with hesitancy.

The dark-head grinned then nodded enthusiastically. "Yep, but just call me 'Shige', Kuroko. Sheesh!"

"Tetsuya!"

Upon hearing a certain red-head's impatient call, he motioned for the dark-head to be quiet and quietly answered, "Yes, Sei-kun?"

"Did something happen? Why did your line suddenly turned silent awhile ago?"

"Uh, a classmate of mine asked me a big favor, so I need to give him some attention. Looks like we need to…pick our homeroom teacher up from the Faculty because he has a lot of things to bring for us…I'm sorry about that. Um, Sei-kun, will it be alright if I hang up now?"

He heard Akashi heave a long sigh then finally responded, "Fine. I'll pick you up later. I'll just call or text you when I'm near."

He nodded with a small smile. "Understood."

"Goodbye. Enjoy."

"Mm…Goodbye." He murmured.

And it was the redhead who hung up first. Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Looks like I interrupted your conversation." The dark-head mumbled with an apologetic expression.

He closed his phone and placed it inside his pocket before shaking his head with his usual emotionless expression. "No, we were in the end of our conversation anyway. So, did you just happen to be here today or—"

"Once again, due to my Dad's work—we were needed to relocate here again. It's stupid to relocate and enter this school when it's already my last year as being a High School student, but anyway, from today onwards I'll be attending Seirin Gakuen and will be a Year 3- Section A's student. Wait, you study here too?"

He smiled inwardly with his old friend's never changing carefree attitude. "Yes, I've been studying here for three years now, Shige. I'm even part of its' basketball team."

"Isn't this the school which win last year and the two years ago's Winter Cups?" Ogiwara gasped.

He nodded. "It is."

"And you're one of the regulars?"

He nodded again.

"WOW~" The dark-head mumbled in awe as his dark eyes sparkled in delight. "That's so awesome."

"We're not really that great; maybe just lucky? And…you?"

Ogiwara grinned. "I'm playing basketball again since few months ago. I heard about Seirin's hardships and difficulties before they reached where they are and I was so inspired. If I knew you were part of it, I would have kept in touch of your games!"

"That's good to know. I thought you—"

"Yes," Ogiwara cut in and leaned against the windowsill as his hair got blown with the zephyr. "I had hated basketball, but as I heard about Seirin, about other basketball player's, and your inspirational memories and experiences…I thought: 'A lot of years have passed. Why can't you move on, Ogiwara Shigehiro? Stop moping and stand up! Stop being a coward!' And then, suddenly I was in a court, holding a basketball in hand and when I tried a three-pointer, it went it. That moment was so blissful; I couldn't help crying in joy. And here I am now."

Kuroko couldn't help the smile that visibly came out subconsciously on his lips. "That's…a relief. I thought you also hate me until now."

The dark-head blinked in confusion then turned his head towards his old best friend. He was about to scold him when he saw the planted sweet smile on the blue-head's lips and he didn't know why, but his heart started racing and his cheeks suddenly felt like they're melting by the heat. "I…uh…Kuroko, you idiot! I-I will never hate you!"

"But you didn't tell me that you would leave right after our last game against each other –even though I didn't play on the game because I needed rest—and you didn't even leave me your new number." Kuroko murmured, obviously quite accusing him.

Ogiwara mentally sweat-dropped. "Well, my father suddenly dragged me. The next day I woke up, all of our things were packed and vroom we already relocated. I never thought our separation would turn out to be that dramatic." He mumbled and then laughed humorlessly. "Seriously, Kuroko, I will never ever hate you. Let me tell you something, I actually like you."

Now, was that a confession?

Kuroko blinked. "I—"

And just right when he was about to ask the question that filled his mind, the bell rang and their new homeroom teacher arrived with his friendly yet intimidating aura.

"Later, Kuroko!" Ogiwara bade and quickly went to his seat.

He, as invisible as usual, walked normally towards his seat and sat before Kagami, who frowned at him. "You again?" The red-head demanded.

"You again?" He mimicked as he turned his head towards his 'shadow.'

Kagami grinned. "Kuroko, you bastard, when did you learn to answer me like that?"

He tried shaking off the hand that started ruffling and messing his hair. "Stop that, Kagami-kun. I'll shrink more. I'm already small, stop making me smaller, or are you just boasting about your height? And about your question, my answer would be since I met you." He responded and smiled a little in victory with Kagami's bewildered expression.

~LFMH021~

The ring of the bell was almost like the best thing they've heard since they entered their room since earlier. "Dismissal time!" Kagami yawned as he stretched his long arms in the air.

"No, Kagami-kun, it's called Basketball Time." Kuroko corrected right after he placed his scattered books and notebooks inside his school bag.

The red-head then grinned with his 'shadow''s proclamation. "Cannot argue with that."

When they took their bags, a hand grabbed the teal-head's wrist which startled him. He turned his head and found a wide-smiled Ogiwara Shigehiro behind him; bag in hands. "Will you mind if I check out your Basketball Team? I'm thinking of joining it."

He nodded. "I won't mind. Our teammates are great persons, so I'm sure they would welcome you from the bottom of their hearts."

"GREAT!" Ogiwara celebrated.

"Psst." The red-head beside him 'obviously' called out to him.

"Yes, Kagami-kun?"

"Who is he?" The other mumbled, suspicion obvious in his tone.

He glanced at his old best friend and quickly answered, "He's Ogiwara Shigehiro; my best friend when we were still in Primary School. He's the one we talked about before fighting off with Rakuzan when we were still first years."

Kagami inspected the dark-head and nodded in appreciation. "Ah, I see. So he's the one."

Startling him, Ogiwara held out a hand towards him. "Ogiwara Shigehiro, Kuroko's old best friend. How about you?"

"I'm Kuroko's current 'light', Kagami Taiga." The red-head replied.

"Ah, I heard a lot about you too in the Basketball Monthly Issues; just like Kuroko with the Generation of Miracles—you seven were considered monsters in the court!" The dark-head exclaimed.

Kagami grinned. "Um, yeah."

"Now, I'm more excited to learn more about Seirin Gakuen Basketball Club! Let's go!" Ogiwara exclaimed with enthusiasm and walked ahead of them.

When the latter was far enough to be not able to hear what Kagami was about to say, the red-head leaned his face closer to Kuroko's ear and whispered, "Does Akashi know about your encounter with him?"

He shook his head. "No, he doesn't."

Kagami's eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously?" He mumbled in exasperation. "Do you want to get killed?"

Kuroko's dead serious and dead-terrifying expression almost made Kagami's heart stop in fright. "No one's gonna get killed if we keep quiet about it, right?"

Kagami gulped and frowned at his partner. "You're seriously going to keep this as a secret?"

"Yes, well, I'll try to, as long as I can."

"B-But, why?"

Kuroko looked at the still-optimistic Ogiwara's back. "I think it'll be awkward if these two meet, besides I don't want Shige-kun to feel or remember any pain he felt the last time he entered a tournament against Teiko. As long as possible, I'll try to prevent them from meeting each other."

"Akashi-kun left a painful memory to Ogiwara-kun…" Words from Kuroko's story before replayed into Kagami's mind as he stared at the dark-head's back. "Well, if I were he, it would really be painful to see the person who caused me such a great pain before. Especially…someone who made me hate basketball."

~LFMH021~

"I'm ahead all of you now!" Ogiwara shouted as he stood before the gymnasium's door.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow Don't be late!" Riko Aida, Seirin Gakuen's Basketball Club coach scolded as she bade back to their new potential member.

"Looks like he would be a great help to this year's basketball club." Hyuuga Junpei, the former captain of Seirin's Basketball Club, who also just graduated few months from now, commented as he sat on the bench and wore his new school's uniform proudly.

"Mm-hm, he'll be a great help, a great help, indeed~!" Kiyoshi Teppei, the founder of Seirin Basketball Club, who also just graduated few months from now, agreed.

"Nyaa, I hope we'll be able to grab this year's Winter Cup trophy just like the last few years~" Koganei, another graduated senpai of theirs, purred.

"Don't worry, Koga. I'm sure they would, especially with us still supporting them." Izuki Shun, the owner of Eagle's Eye and a senpai of theirs, reassured as he nodded his head and wrote another pun he just thought after saying his monologue.

Mitobe Rinnosuke, the hook shooter who was also a member last year, smiled in agreement and nodded his head.

Tsuchida, with his closed eyes, gave a thumb up. "We'll never leave you, we'll do our best to support you as long as possible."

"Our senpais are so cool~" Some of the freshmen murmured in awe.

"It's so great to see them again! They're so supportive and kind!" Some second years mumbled.

"Our current senpais are great players too especially the greatest duo: Kagami-senpai and Kuroko-senpai!" Most of them whispered in joy.

"Ogiwara Shigehiro-senpai was so cool too! Waah, I'm so happy to join this club and school!" A bunch of new players celebrated.

Hearing such, the former and current senpais glanced at one another and smiled proudly at their continuous league.

As they called it a day, and the kouhais readied themselves, it was a routine for the current and former senpais to still stay and sit on the benches and have some quality time.

"So, that guy earlier was Shigehiro Ogiwara, the guy you told us about before huh…Well, Kuroko, as I remember he and Akashi has some kind of distance or grudge against each other…what would you do with that?" Hyuuga mumbled.

"I'm actually still not sure." Kuroko confessed as he played the wristbands around his wrists.

"I think you should tell him about Ogiwara, Kuroko. Just my suggestion." Izuki suggested.

Kagami snorted and glared at his 'shadow' then mumbled in annoyance, "I told him the same thing and he's reluctant."

"I'm sure both of them would accept it." Kiyoshi assured.

"Those two have high prides." Kuroko stated.

That silenced the others.

"But still!" Koga protested which startled the teal-head from his silence. "We just don't want to see our new member, and Akashi to—"

"New member and me? And who's that new member you're pertaining to, hn?" A new yet very familiar voice to all of the people in the benches, queried with curiosity and suspicion.

"Hello~ How was your first day, Kurokocchi, Kagamicchi~?"

Another blue-head yawned and then sighed. "I'm tired. Can't we go home yet, Ryouta?" He complained.

A munch then a crunch were heard before a violet-head spoke, "Hi, Kuro-chin, Kagami-chin~ Want some potato chip and lollipops?"

They heard a rustle of wheels outside and then pants and lastly a green-head went beside the red-head. "Oha-Asa's horoscope for today said that Aquarius' day for today would be both wonderful and dangerous."

"Isn't that the Generation of Miracles?" One of the lower years gasped.

"It is, it is! So our senpais are close with them just like the Basketball Monthly said!" Another one exclaimed.

"Waah! They're so cool!"

Kagami crossed his arms. "What the hell are you five doing here again? Don't you have classes?"

"We had! But they already ended, so we came to pick you all up! Let's eat altogether at Magi Burger! My treat! I got bonus from my previous modeling!" The copycat, Kise Ryouta, enthusiastically responded.

"Stop changing the topic. What was about me and the new member of yours…and who's the new member of yours you were talking about?"

"It's nothing important." Hyuuga interjected.

Akashi's heterochromatic eyes' glare froze all of them on their ground, and they had no other choice but to look at Kuroko and beg for him to explain the truth.

We're talking about Kuroko here, I'm sure he will tell the truth. He's a good boy after all, he—

"It's just a freshman, Sei-kun. He is a great fan of yours and we don't want you to meet yet because we wanted to make a surprise to our kouhais. To be able to meet you personally and even talk and chat with the five of you, but you just ruined the surprise." Kuroko quickly filled in, his face as expressionless and emotionless as ever.

Those unexpected words out of the teal-head surprised and caught all of Seirin's members of guard.

He lied…Kuroko just lied to Akashi!

Now, those words also meant…damn and doom.

Sneak Peek:

Kuroko's stiffened on his seat when his phone vibrated on his pocket again for the third time this night.

"Tetsuya?" His seatmate, Akashi Seijuuro, queried in confusion.

He blinked and took out his phone out from his pocket and checked the reply Ogiwara just sent him.

From: Shige-kun

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

Subj: Hmph!

Mess: You should have told me then I could have stayed and went there with you! T.T Kuroko, you meanie! I want to try eating at Magi Burger!

"Looks like you're getting quite messages today, Tetsuya." Akashi commented, stood up and went behind the blue-head to peek. "Who might that be—"

Before he could even finish his confrontation, Kuroko closed his phone before him which surprised him.

Shoot. Kuroko thought in panic as Akashi's eyes filled with suspicion.
