Disclaimer: Oh, I wish I owned it but sadly I don't
Kuroko Takumi, his Father. A not-so-well known professional basketball player, like Tetsuya he had lack of presence but he also used it to his advantage, he was skilled, very skilled. So even if people didn't know him or see him he became known as the Ghost King, the ghost that haunts the court, he can get by any defense and shoot at almost any angle. He had hair and skin like Tetsuya but eyes black like night, his height average for a Japanese but a little short for a basketball player. He had the attitude of a child though.
Kuroko Takara, his Mother. A very well known Professional Trainer and tactician, like Tetsuya she had observant eyes, eyes that can spot anything from anyone. She was one of the best trainers and tacticians in the world, she was the known as the Demon off Court with her she can think of hundreds plays with a single glance. She had pitch black hair and eyes sky blue and skin milky white like Tetsuya, her height has a little below average for a Japanese woman. Her attitude was as deadpan as Tetsuya's
Tetsuya inherited his fathers skills, hair and of course lack of presence and inherited his mothers eyes, attitude and intelligence. But of course got both of their love of basketball.
As a child Tetsuya showed promise as a skilled basketball player and with the help of his Father and Mother he did become a skilled a player. By the age of 10 he became known as the Ghost Prince having the same lack of presence and power as his father and the intelligence and observation skills like his mother, but at the age of 12 something terrible happened.
A group of teenagers were watching a kid about 12 with sky blue hair and eyes play alone on a court
"Che, that the kid they call Ghost Prince right?" Teenager 1 says (im not going to name them there not that important)
"Kid thinks his all that doesn't he? just because he's got a little a skill" Teenager 3 said while glaring at Tetsuya (we all know it's Tetusya by now right?)
"Why don't we play him and break him then?" Teenager 2 says with an evil grin on his face
"Hey kid! why don't you play against us?" Teen 1 said
"Eto...wouldn't it be unfair? It's going to be a 3 on 1 match" Kuroko said still ever emotionless
"Ah! Kuroko-kun, we could play with you" Said 2 random kids from the crowd (yeah he has a crowd when he plays)
"Arigato" Kuroko said bowing a little
"Ok! great now lets play!" Teen 2 said over enthusiastically
(The 2 kids that volunteered looked about 14 and they were already wearing a jersey and shorts)
needless to say Tetsuya and his team were winning and even if Tetsuya could have shot some of those shots them selves he passed to and helped his teammates. He believes that teamwork is the most important part of that game, well other than having fun.
But that teens were angry, they were losing to kid! so they went for a more evil approach.
As Tetsuya was about to make a shot Teen 2 blocked him, he evaded that easily, he just didn't expect Teen 1 and 3 to come after him, Teen 1 pushed him down hard and Teen 2 stepped on his knee (much like ho Hanamiya did to Kiyoshi but with less force)
"AHHHHHH!" Kuroko screamed clutching his knee, the teens eyes got wide as they saw the police coming, so they ran along with everyone else in the crowd, an ambulance came a little later and sent him to the emergency room to fix the broken or dislocated bone.
after about 2 hours in the ICU he was sent to the normal rooms
"I am sorry but I am afraid that you have to be put through rehabilitation on your knee" KaKori Fujimato, his godfather and Dr. said to him and his parents
"H-how long will it take Fuji?" His mother Kuroko Takara said almost in tears, she was a trainer she knows what this injury could cause, he might not even be able to walk properly again! she has seen what these type of injuries could do.
"The damage wasn't as severe, o it would only take about a year to get it to heal and work, don't worry after that his knee will be as good as new" Fujimato said with a slight smile, he loved Tetsuya like his own son, he will do everything to make him better
"W-will I be able to play basket ball again?" Kuroko said with a shaky voice, he loved basketball he didn't want to be told that he couldn't play again
His father, Kuroko Takumi, was being uncharacteristically quiet, he knows how much his son loved that sport, he would be devastated if he couldn't play again
"After the rehab, you would be able to play just as you did before" Fujimato said with a smile
He and his son breath a sigh of relief, his son gave a small smile knowing that he will be able to play again.
1 Year Later
"So? how is it?" Kuroko asked his godfather with hope in his eyes
he was having his monthly check up, this was supposed to be the last one, he was with his mother and father
"It's...It's perfect! you have fully healed and your knee might be even better than before with all the training you did! your're better than ever!" Fujimato said with a giant smile, knowing Tetsuya was okay.
"T-Thats great!" His mother said with a grin on her face, she wasn't used to showing emotion but her son was okay!
his father did a happy dance, yeah you read that right a happy dance!
A week after Tetsuya finally decided he should try and play, he dribbled just like before, he ran and did his training just like before, but now for the moment of truth, can he shoot?
he went into position held the ball and shot...it missed. He tried again and again but he couldn't, he decided to ask his parent if they know why
"Oto-san, Oka-san, I don't think I can shoot anymore" he said to his parent as straightforward as ever
his mother stopped cleaning and looked at him, his father spit out the water he was drinking and looked at him
"What do you mean you can't shoot? Your shots are better than mine!" His father said with a giant smile that he always wore, but this one was a little smaller than the ones he usually wore
"Tsuya, why don't you show us maybe I can see the problem?" His mother offered, using the nickname she had for him
Tetsuya nodded and showed them, he went into position and shot...he still missed, he did it 5 more times till his mother said stop
"I know whats wrong" his mother said with an equally deadpan voice as her son, but with traces of sadness
Her son and husband tilted there head in sync to the right, it would have been cute but now was a serious time
"You're holding your self back, your're afraid to shoot. Your subconscious is holding it back unconsciously, you were shooting when you were hit right? well your mind now finds itself scared to shoot fearing you will get hurt, you need to let go of that fear"
Tetsuya was stunned, he couldn't move, he couldn't shoot because he was scared? he was afraid to shoot? he was holding himself back?
he made a promise that night, he will let go of this fear and shoot again, but first he needs a new style.
