Oh uh... Hi there! I'm FairyBabies, weird name, I know. I'm new here and well, I love to write fanfiction. I've always done it but I've just never had the guts to actually post anything before so... here goes nothing!
This will be my first Fanfiction ever. A few other friends who have Fanfiction accounts finally convinced me to get my own and well... here I am. Yay~!
...Yeah. So um, please go easy on me. I apologize if this is awful. It is just an idea that wouldn't get out of my head.
"Tetsuya? What are you watching?" A soft voice called from behind the young elementary student.
"American Basketball." The blue haired boy said in a tiny voice, motioning to the screen. "It looks interesting." Being in his last year in elementary school, Kuroko's family had always urged him to find something, anything, to do with this time. Some hobby he could do that he could try to use to connect with others and makes some friends.
He had never been very good at making friends due to his lack of presence and soft spoken voice.
"Eh? Basketball huh?" the same voice that spoke out to him earlier mused, the owner moving to kneel beside him. "It is a great sport."
Tilting his head, Kuroko stared up at the taller person next to him. "Do you like Basketball? You play it sometimes, right?"
With a chuckle, the person nodded. "Course' I do kiddo." They reached out and ruffled his hair. "It is a great sport to make friends and learn what team work means."
"Team work?" Kuroko frowned.
"Yeah. You can't win a Basketball game on your own. It is impossible. So most of Basketball involves passing. You create a bond of trust between your team-mates that you don't need to speak of. It is just there."
Liking the sound of that, Kuroko perked up. "Could I play Basketball?" he asked softly. He was never good at any sports and was always picked last for teams. Or he just wasn't picked at all and was forgotten. However this sport really got his eye for some reason. Regardless of whether or not he would be good at it he wanted to try it.
"Of course!" the person next to him answered instantly, surprising him. Looking pumped, the person reached out, scooped the young blue headed boy off the ground to stand on his own to feet. "You can do anything you want to Tetsuya!" They grinned at him. "As long as you give it your all and have fun, that is all the matters."
Feeling himself smile, Kuroko nodded. "Okay, Onee-chan!"
That's right.
This person in front of him… was his older sister. Sora Kuroko. The girl that people called 'A Legend'.

Opening his eyes, Kuroko squinted his eyes to find himself in his bed, his covers trapping his legs in place. Turning his head towards his curtain, he blinked a few times, realizing he was dreaming.
He was dreaming of the day he first wanted to play Basketball and fell in love with it. Though it was only a little more than a year ago, it still seemed like so long ago. So much had happened since then.
He had started playing basketball, or at least practicing it, and had made a friend.
His name was Shigehiro Ogiwara. He was this boy he had meet in the park when he had gone there to practice basketball. Seeing that Kuroko had a basketball, Shigehiro was quick to join. Doing most of the talking himself, Shigehiro had some how, without even asking, made Kuroko his friend. He was just that type of person after all.
Not that Kuroko really minded. He was thrilled to have a friend; and it was all thanks to the Basketball his Onee-chan had given him. Though it was a little worn down from all the times she had used it herself, Kuroko still cherished it with all he had.
He had even made his own scratches and bruises on the balls surface from all the times he had used it to practice. In a way, you could say that both Kuroko and Sora Onee-chans' hard word had been sketched into the ball. It was a nice momentum and reminder for Kuroko. A reminder he would always think back to during his first year of middle school.
After summer ended, and his friend Shigehiro had moved away, Kuroko officially entered Teikou.
"Tetsuya!" slamming open his door, a girl leapt into the room. Rolling a few inches before jumping up like a spring, she landed at the end of his bed, her arms crossed. "Rise my brother! There is work to be done!" Sora, Kuroko's older sister by 3 years, and currently in her last year of middle school. (You can correct me if I am wrong. It is 3 years of middle school and 3 of high school, right? Please correct me if I am wrong)
Looking confident and pumped, Sora leapt off the bed and pulled Tetsuya into a sitting position. His hair instantly fluffed up in a large puff of bed head.
Snorting at the sight, Sora flew open her brother's closet and grabbed his new uniform. Admiring the uniform for a few seconds, humming happily, she turned back to him. Placing the uniform on the end of his bed she clapped happily to herself and twirled around.
"It's been a while since you and me have been able to go to the same school. We should eat lunch together today! I'll come over to your class." She concluded. "Oh! We can also walk home together."
"We usually do that." Kuroko spoke up.
"Yeah, but this time I don't have to walk all the way over your school and wait an extra half an hour." Sora pouted.
"…I suppose." Kuroko gave her a small smile. Satisfied, Sora leapt towards the door. "Hurry up, we're heading out soon. Breakfast is almost ready." His sister commanded.
Closing the door behind her, Kuroko sat on his bed for a while and stared at his wall for a few minutes. It fell unreal. He was already in middle school and going to go join the Basketball club. Life moved by so quickly.
Shaking his head, Kuroko quickly put on his uniform, checked himself in the mirror, and rushed down the steps to find his sister finishing off the eggs she was making for him. Placing them on his plate, she paused to stare at him.
Eyes going wide, she turned to face him and get a full view of his new uniform. "…My little brother, the middle schooler." She shook her head. "Stop growing." She commanded. "You have to stay cute and small forever." She sniffled, looking ready to burst into tears.
"I'm not cute, or small." He argued with a very small, almost unseen pout. "You are being too dramatic Onee-chan."
"And you are too blunt." She countered with a similar pout. "Now eat your eggs. Mom already left for work, but left you a note and Dad is sleeping. He didn't get back till late last night so we probably wont see him before we leave."
Nodding in understandement, Kuroko moved to grab the small sticky note.
Tetsuya my dear, I'm sorry I wasn't there to see you on your first day off. I love you though and I hope you have fun. Join the club you want to and work hard. I'll have a warm dinner waiting for you and your sister when you get home.
P.S. Please keep a close eye on your sister for me. We both know how she can get sometimes and we don't want her causing any trouble. I leave her in your hands honey!
Say cheese!
-Mom-
Confused at what the ending of his mother's note met, Kuroko lifted his head, blinded when a sudden flash of light hit him. Recoiling, Kuroko blinked furiously to clear his vision. "Onee-chan-" he mumbled, rubbing his eye lids. "Please don't suddenly take pictures of me using the flash."
Lowering her camera, Sora tilted her head. "Why not? Mom told me too in the sticky note she left for me. I was suppose to take a picture of you and your uniform when you finished reading the letter."
"You could have waited till I was ready." Kuroko grumbled, turning around to start his breakfast.
"That is no fun." Sora snickered, going across the table to join him. Munching on her toast, she reached across the table to fix his hair. Since it was almost impossible for Kuroko to completely control his bush of a hair himself, he often had to ask his sister for help. Flattening down his bangs; which were small, barely covering his forehead. She cooed as she stared down at him. "You're so cute~! All the girls will fall head over heels for you."
"I'm not cute." Kuroko disagreed instantly. "I also don't see how being cute would get girls to like me. I thought all girls like the cool type of characters."
"Those are only in stories my naïve brother." Sora clicked her tongue in disapproval. "I must teach you the world of women one of these days."
"So you don't like the cool characters Onee-chan?" Kuroko tilted his head.
"I'm not saying I don't." she shook her head. "However, how one acts is not the only thing I find appealing. I want to like a person for their personality, and their likes/dislikes. And, I dunno… I want to meet a boy who gives me a challenge."
"A challenge?"
"Yeah. He tries to get in under my skin and push me to my limits, ya know? Like he is willing to go through some tests to win me over, yet put me through some of his own tests."
"It sounds complicated." Kuroko frowned.
"Love is always complicated dear brother." Sora smiled warmly at him. "You know it is true love though when you can push through all the complications." Grabbing her plate, Sora moved to the sink and washed it off. "Anyway, hurry up. We have to get to school."
"Right." Kuroko nodded, shoving a spoon full of eggs into his mouth.
Watching him for a few seconds, Sora smirked. "I bet you're the type of guy who likes gentle girls." She suddenly spoke up. Pausing, Kuroko looked over his shoulder in surprise. "Ah!" she pointed to him. 'I'm spot on, right? You like gentle girls."
Turning away Kuroko continued to eat his eggs. "Maybe."
"I knew it." Sora pumped her fist in victory. "Victory for- WAH!" she cried out in shock at the sight of the clock. "Tetsuya! Hurry! Hurry! We are going to be late!" she yelled, marching towards him and stuffing the rest of the eggs into his mouth. Gagging a bit, he swallowed roughly. "Onee-chan." He gave her a sour look.
Unfazed, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the door. Snatching up their bags she kicked open the front door and leapt out.
"Sora, don't do that." A voice grumbled behind them. Freezing, the two blue headed siblings slowly turned to see their Father moving down the stairs.
"Ah. Sorry Dad." Sora grinned sheepishly, realizing she had been caught.
"You have to fix it later." He shook his head. Giving them a blank stare, one could easily tell where Kuroko had gotten his personality from, though his looks and lack of presence came from his Mother.
Sora on the other hand, while having her mothers Blue hair and out going personality, had the same eyes and laid back nature of her Father. While she enjoyed a good challenge, had a wild personality, and enjoyed life to the fullest, she didn't stress over anything and just went with the flow. Almost the exact opposite of her little brother.
"I will." She assured him. "We're heading off."
"Ah, I see." He nodded. "Have a nice first day. You both look nice."
"Thanks Dad." They smiled at him, turning and stepping completely out of the house. Giving him one last wave, they closed the door.
Stepping out, clicking her shoes against the pavement, Sora stretched her arms over her head. "What a nice day!" she cooed.
Stepping forward and lifting his head up to the clouds, Kuroko smiled at the sight of the clear blue skies overhead. They were so clear, you might not have believed it was Spring.
Moving to the front of the house, Sora opened the mailbox to grab the few letters within. "That goes to Mom, that goes to Dad. Aww." She pouted. "No letters for me."
"Sorry." Kuroko apologized. "I'll send you one."
"Tetsuya!" Sora gave him a teary smile. "That is so sweet." Sniffling, she held out a letter to him. "There was this in there for you too."
Surprised, Kuroko took the letter into his hands and opened it up. Instantly recognizing the hand writing, he smiled.
Hey Kuroko!
First day of school started a little while back. Though I'm sure yours start a little after mine. Also, I've been able to make PA. Have you already joined a club? Of course, I joined the Basketball club! Lets both work hard so we can play in matches and fulfill out promise!
At the bottom was a familiar looking picture of a hand drawn Basketball.
"Eh?" Sora mused, looking over Kuroko's shoulder. "So Shigehiro already joined huh?"
Kuroko nodded. "Of course I will join the Basketball club too." He smiled.
With a grin, Sora ruffled his hair. "Of course! Come on now, lets hurry up! I don't want you being late your first day. First impressions are very important! I don't want the teachers thinking you are one of those boys who are always late!" she stepped in the direction of the school.
"They probably wouldn't notice I was gone, or even late." Kuroko said honestly, placing the letter in his pocket.
"Maybe, but I would know, and I'm not letting you be late." Sora smacked her hands down on his shoulders and pushed him forward.
Nether of them would have ever thought that starting that day, their lives would change forever. That several, Miracles, would suddenly come into their lives.
Wahoo! First chapter ever is done. I hope you are all enjoying this so far. I know Sora is an OC character, but I still hope you like her.
