A/N: So in exchange for completing 'Arcana Ascends' (a favourite of mine, with its plot twist ending *spoiler for those who haven't read the latest chapter) and 'The Caged Tiger' I am installing a Kagami-centric story - 'The Ring' (published earlier today) and this - ID. I'm also hoping to get the first chapter of the Phantom King out (the story from my poll) by next week so look out for that too. Thank you all my readers and I hope that this story will have you on the edge of your seats like the other two.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke.

Revelation.

It was raining the day he had quit Teiko's basketball team.

Stepping into his quiet reserved home, Kuroko Tetsuya stiffened at the tension in the air. Walking into his family's living room, he froze; his spine shuddered from prickling chills as he stared at his parents and grandmother's frozen figures. They sat in silence, heads down around the dining table. His mother was crying, hands covering her face as his father simply looked on, his gaze seemed lost, staring blankly into thin air. His grandmother shook her head, muttering softly. "We knew that this day would come," She said, softly. "We've always known."

"Ano…" Kuroko spoke up, grabbing their attention, they seemed to jump from the sudden voice. His mother stood up, pushing her chair back with an abrupt speed that had it falling back, still crying, she walked over to him before embracing him tightly in her arms. Her hands running through his light blue locks. "…" Kuroko wrapped his arms around her, hugging her back.

Her words were muffled, but he could still hear bits and pieces of her words. "No matter what happens, you'll always be my baby boy," She whispered, her voice ragged. "Always, don't you forget that alright? We love you, Tet-chan." She told him, her grasp tightening. "Don't forget okay?" She pulled away, her hands cupping her son's face. He could see her desperate red eyes, her tear streaked face as she looked at him. Kuroko didn't understand it at all. What was happening?

"Tetsuya," His father spoke up, placing a hand on his wife's shoulder as his mother took a step back from him, her face looked away. "We have something to tell you," An ominous feeling settled in the pits of his stomach at his father's words.

"Everything you know is a lie."

Kuroko's eyes widened. "We aren't your parents, Tetsuya, in fact…" He trailed off, his blank face looking away. "Tetsuya isn't even your real name."

Kuroko paused for a moment, digesting everything that's been said. The reality of the truth left him stunned, despite his calm exterior, his mind was slowly breaking. He's suspected it for a while, but he didn't want to believe but now that it was out there, he just had to accept it. His heart wrenched as he stared into his 'father's' eyes. "So... If I'm not your son," He asked lowly, his eyes hidden behind his fringe as he looked to the ground. He refused to meet their eyes. "Whose son am I?"

"No one," He looked to see his grandmother. A sad smile on her wrinkled face as she stood beside his 'parents', her eyes saddening as she looked to the ground. She seemed to be the only one that could still talk. "You were part of a genetically enhanced race of children," She told him. "Sixteen years ago, an international cooperatation called the Phantom had tried to create an ultimate weapon, and they succeeded. However, their experiments violated human rights and laws all over the world so they were forcefully shut down."

At that point his father spoke up. "Most of their experiments were killed by international soldiers during the Cleansing," He told him. "But there were a few that survived," He said. "You are one of the few, Tetsuya."

"So why now then?"

They flinched.

"The government has issued a Permanent Cleansing," His grandmother told him, her eyes cold. "You're not safe with us anymore, Tetsuya."

He stared at her, "What am I going to do then?"

"Run. Keep running, don't ever stop."

Kuroko Tetsuya died the next day, jumping from a bridge. His body was claimed by his family, the news spread, and soon his existence was wiped from the name of escapees...

Or did he?
