I honestly did not plan to write this, but whatever. I was in the mood for some Kuroko no Basuke and inspiration struck. It happens. Let me know what you think - if it's any good or worth continuing. I've got some ideas, but we'll see what happens.

DISCLAIMER: I definitely do not own Kuroko no Basuke.


WAR IS COMING

The empire of Teiko is by far the most prosperous nation in the land. Under its rule are five kingdoms: Touou, Shutoku, Kaijo, Yosen, and Rakuzan. Each of these great kingdoms has a ruler of its own, and those kings answer only to the emperor of Rakuzan. Teiko prides itself on being self-sufficient, and so it relies on no other for support. But, for the sake of promoting good will, Teiko has undergone amiable trade and correspondence with the bordering kingdoms.

One of these such kingdoms is Seirin, which is located just outside of Shutoku's border. This large kingdom is ruled by the Kiyoshi family and is known for its lively tournaments and beautiful scenery. Seirin has a long-standing alliance with the kingdom of Meiko, as well as peace treaties with nearby kingdoms Shoei (were the Kiyoshi family originated) and Josei.

Far in the north, within the mountains, resides the ancient kingdom of Seiho. Known for its brilliant military, Seiho has withstood the hardships of time and war. Due to its placement in the mountains, Seiho has a very profitable business mining valuables and enjoys good trade with Teiko.

For close to 100 years, there had been peace in the land. However, that peace is slowly ending.

There is a western kingdom that has begun invading nations one by one. Kirisaki Daīchi conquered the many small kingdoms along its borders, and then took control of Fukuda Sōgō as well as the formidable Senshinkan. Kirisaki Daīchi's troops are now branching out to the north and south. A large portion of the army has already breached the mountains of Seiho.

It's only a matter of time before the war reaches the east.
