Sky: Yo! Yo! Sky is here, my very first story here in fanfic. As you all know, this story is based on my story that I made for myself.
Red: Which is soooo boring
Sky: Shut it, Red! At least I don't stalk a certain someone 24/7
Silver: Who's this certain someone?
Red: Gah! Sky does not own anything from Kuroko no Basuke, maybe just some OCs

It's been about a three weeks since I have moved here in Japan with my older brother, and I got to say, it's nothing like America. The way the Japanese do and speak really confuses me, but my older brother seems to be okay with and he quickly fit in. Maybe it's because he got that cool aura that he keeps spreading wherever he goes, and people just want t socializes with him. I got to say, I'm a little bit jealous. He says that I got a fierce and scary face that keeps people away, and he says that it's good because no pedophile will 'rape' me. I don't know what rape means, but Tatsuya said that it's a bad word.
"You'll know when you get older" he said to me as I asked him what the meaning was, he ruffled my hair and smiled "You're too innocent, naive, and pure. And I don't want to suddenly taint you, besides, Alex would kill me"
I always wonder what was wrong with my brother, I mean; I am already at age. I'm almost an adult now, so I should know what that means! Buuuuh, I'm pouting right now.
"No way! You're a level 4, no fair. You used your brother again, didn't you?"
"So what if I did?"
"Then that's cheating, cheater!"
Also, there's a popular game here in Japan that everyone is playing. I think's it called L.I.F.E. Online, it's a MMORPG-type of game. Even though it's a hit, it seems that it can only be played in Japan. Because when I looked on when the game was out, I found out that it was a long time before we got here.
I don't how the game works but I'm not interested in playing it, I'm only interested in playing basketball.
Wait... did I get to introduce myself? I think I didn't, heh, sorry about that.
My name is Kagami Taiga, I'm Japanese, I am 16 years old and I'm a Leo. My height is around 6'3 and my weight is 181 lbs. Um... I live with my two non-yet-relatives. As I mentioned above, I do have a brother, just not by blood. I like to eat, cook, and play basketball.
I use to live in America, but we moved here at Fallen Island in Japan. I never would have thought that Japan would have that kind of Island.
Right now, I'm enrolled in Seirin High in my 1st year while my brother goes to Yosen High on another island, south from here I think. Alex's job is a teacher at some school but she didn't bother to tell us.
Standing up, I dusted myself and looked up at the sky. I sighed, was there more to life than this?

Monday, Cloudy
4:32 A.M.
At Seirin High, inside Seirin Gym
After school, the upperclassmen and Kagami always meet up at the school's gym to practice and play basketball.
"Alright, take a break everyone" Riko said "I'll be at the Home Economics Room if you guys need me" with that, she left the boys to do their own stuff.
Kagami dropped to the floor and laid down, his body spread out on the floor. The upperclassmen began to surround him and sat on the floor. Kagami looked at them, confused, but they just stared back. The silence that engulfed the whole room was awkward, it was only then that Koganei spoke.
"Guys, have you heard the game named L.I.F.E. online?" Koganei started, and everyone spoke.
"L.I.F.E.? I actually have a game about that, I'm a Physical Knight at level 1" one of the upperclassman said, I didn't bother to know who it was. I'm too lazy.
"I'm a Level 2, a Land Tamer" Koganei said proudly as he puffed his chest, his cat-like smile turning into a smirk. The upperclassmen continued to talk about the game until I felt myself getting tired and falling asleep.

It was dark and the moon was out, it's light shinning throughout the island. Everyone was asleep, inside their house and in their bed they were tucked in. Well, except for Kagami that is. After falling asleep, the upperclassmen went on with their conversation. Noticing that it was getting dark, the upperclassmen went home, guessing that Riko might get angry with them if they suddenly come to school with lack of sleep. All of them left, forgetting the poor tiger on the floor.
It was around 11 when the tiger woke up. He sat up and took note that it was nighttime and no one was there. He stood up and stretched his body. He walked to the Gym's door and thanked his lucky stars that it was unlock.
Kagami took note of the school, the school looked like a creepy haunted academy when all of the lights were off.

Monday, Cloudy
11:57 P.M.
Inside Gabriel Park, near Wishing Fountain
The moon was full and the sky was full of stars, all the lights of the houses were off. Kagami was all alone, sitting by the Town's fountain.
"I can't believe that the senpais left me, now I'm gonna get scolded by Tatsuya and Alex. Can this day get any worse?" As Kagami said those words - and unexpectedly his question being answered - something glowed within the waters.
Kagami raised an eyebrow, he dropped his bag and folded his sleeves. Making sure that his sleeves will not get wet, he dove his hands into the water and quickly grabbed the shining object.
Kagami observed it carefully. It was a white diamond of some kind, it was light. Kagami looked further and concentrating on the center of the diamond, he saw something swirling at the same time his eyes released a different colored shine and that's when the light changed it's color to red before shining so bright that Kagami has to close his eyes as the light engulfed him... then, the light disappeared along with Kagami.
Leaving the poor bag all alone (Sky: Poor bag!)

Kagami slowly opened his eyes as he felt that the light dimmed, and when he did, he was surprised to find himself standing on some metal platform. He looked around and the surroundings he saw were not like in Fallen Island. Instead of the usual tall buildings, he was faced with tall wooden walls and in his back was a path with trees at the edges.
"Where... am I?" Kagami asked himself. He suddenly remembered about the thing that he was holding, but when he looked at his hands, there was nothing but just his hand holding unto nothing.
And then, a voice spoke "Hello~" which made Kagami jump a little "Don't need to be so surprised, this is usually the face of a new comer when he or she enters the game for the first time. Though, I was expecting a more joyful face"
"Who said that?" Kagami nervously asked, he yelped when a little fairy with tiger ears and tail appeared before him.
"Me! I am Eden, your Guardian. What's your name?" Eden said as he sat in mid-air.
"A-Ah, I-I'm Kagami T-Taiga"
"Kagami Taiga, interesting name you got their buddy. But enough about that, we need to register you"
"What do you mean register?"
"Obviously, you gotta' register for the game"
"What game?"
"What do you mean 'what game?', L.I.F.E. Online, that's what. But you should know that, isn't that the reason why you activated me?"
"No, I actually just picked you up from the fountain at the park"
Eden was shock at first, before he lowered his head. The yellow bangs of his covering his eyes and he started to tremble. Kagami stared at the fairy, not knowing what to do.
With a small and faint voice, Eden said "This always happens to me, being bought and when they found out what type of Guardian I am, they will just throw me at the water again. And when someone finds me again, they'll just be disappointed and throw me again. And when I thought that someone was going to claim me again, it just happens that the guy doesn't even know what the game is and now... I'm alone again" tears rolled down his cheeks.
A large pang hits Kagami in the heart and can't help but feel pity, he doesn't know this game but if this will cheer-up the guy - so be it "Even thought I don't know this guy, but with your help maybe I can consider playing it?"
Eden stopped and lifted his head, his eyes full of hope. And with a large smile appearing on his face, he flew to Kagami and gave him a big (tiny?) hug "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Kagami placed his left hand to cover the little glowball before the said glowball let go "Right, in order to play the game, you need to register first" snapping his fingers, a screen appeared in front of Kagami.
Welcome to L.I.F.E. Online.
O Custom or O Reality
"What does this two mean?" Kagami said as he pointed at the two selections.
"Custom means that you can change your appearance in the game. You can select what style and color of your hair, color of your eyes, what type of species, and etc..." Eden explained "Reality basically means that you will just stay as yourself"
Kagami nodded and easily selected 'Reality'
User Name: ?
Class: Manipulator
Element: Matter
Mp: High
Hp: Medium
Strenght: Low
"That's weird, the game usually let's you choose what you want to be. But from the looks of it, the game already choose for you. And you can't even change it, and it's the first time that there is an Element called 'Matter'. Also, the User Name! It's completely unknown!" Eden exclaimed.
"Calm down Eden, we can't do anything about it if you can't change it. How about we just go with it? Let's just hurry up, I need to get home, my relatives might kill me" Kagami said.
Eden pouted and crossed his arms "Fine" he snapped his fingers and the screen loaded. After loading, this appeared on the screen.
Congratulations! You are fully registered.
Welcome to L.I.F.E. Online.
Do you want to start -
NOW or Later?
Without hesitating, Kagami clicked the Later option.

Tuesday, Sunny with a chance of Rain
4:19 A.M.
Kagami Residence
Kagami opened his eyes. The ceiling greeted him with silence and blinked... and blinked... and blinked
"Was that all real?" Kagami said out loud.
"Yes, it did" someone, turns out to be Eden replied "After coming back from Life, you fainted because of exhaustion. Luckily, some guy with black hair found you and carried you home"
"I see... so that means..."
"Yep, Kagami Taiga" Eden paused for a minute as he flew on top of Kagami's chest "Welcome to the world of L.I.F.E."
Sky: And End, that was a good start if I say so myself~
Red: I don't know, it's kinda different from the original
Sky: Well I'm sorry *rolls eyes* At least, I didn't chicken out from asking someone out
Red: *Blushes* Don''t bring him into this!
