I saw a lot of fem!Kuroko fanfictions, and really liked them, so I decided to give it a try myself! This is basically the Teiko story with Kuroko being a girl instead. fem!KurokoxGoM. There are a lot of other fics with similar premises, but I'm going to try to make this as original as I can. Suggestions are welcome!

The weather was so nice, you couldn't call it spring. It was something better than the arrival of spring, something that meant the start of a miracle…

With a novel in hand, Kuroko Tetsuya quickly made her way through the crowds, trying to look for the club she wanted. There were students in kendo gear, students wearing cartoon costumes, and many more sights just outside Teiko Middle School, for it was time for all the clubs to advertise themselves to the newcomers.

"Dai-chan, what club are you going to join?"

"Basketball, of course. I heard that this school was pretty good."

"Eh? Then I'll be the manager then. I'll make a bento for you at every game!"

"No… I won't be able to play if you make the bento. Oh, sorry- huh?" The tanned boy turned around, but nobody was there.

Kuroko closed her novel and squeezed through the crowds, still looking for her ideal club while quietly admiring the blooming cherry blossom trees nearby.

"Do you like reading? How about joining the literature club?" A boy started to talk to Kuroko, but she slipped away quietly, not noticing the strange conversation that followed.

"This is a phone book."

"Phone book? That's a book too… wait. Why are you carrying around a phone book?"

"It's today's lucky item from Oha-Asa."

"Huh?"

Kuroko made her way through some more crowds, paying no attention to a mob of second and third years around a tall student and a group of sighing girls surrounding a smiling boy. She smiled to herself as the basketball club came into sight. "There it is…"

All of the applicants for the basketball club were gathered in the gym. Most of them were conversing among themselves as more and more people streamed in to join the growing crowd.

Kuroko stood in a corner, heart beating. This was the day she was waiting for! Their promise would be fulfilled now. Having no one to talk to, she just stood there, trying to boost her confidence.

"Look. There's a girl."

"Where? I don't see any girl."

"Huh? I really thought I saw someone…"

Everyone grew quiet when the coach started speaking. "Listen up, everyone. I'm sure you all know that Teiko's basketball team is famed for all of our wins. The basketball club is for people who want to win! You are advised to leave if you plan on slacking off here. Now then, we will begin the tests. You will be placed into different strings according to ability. Don't give up even if you are in the 3rd and lowest string. Everyone has a chance to rise through the ranks. Are there any questions before testing begins?"

"Um, excuse me?" Everyone's eyes turned towards a timid looking first year. "What is your question?"

"There seems to be a girl among us applicants. I am not saying that girls can't join, but isn't this club for boys?" The first year pointed to Kuroko, who gulped as she felt everyone's eyes trained on her. She never wanted to cause a big scene!

"What's your name?" The coach stared at Kuroko in surprise, and she quickly answered. "Kuroko Tetsuya. This is my first year here, and I decided to join the boys' basketball club. I am not aware of any rules banning girls from joining. Sorry if I caused you any inconvenience. I will leave right now." She turned and started walking towards the exit, but the coach stopped her.

"Please wait, Kuroko-san. There are no rules banning girls from here. You may stay if you wish, but I have to warn you that our training is known for being particularly grueling."

The event was forgotten just as quick as it had happened, and everyone proceeded to the testing areas. Kuroko stood in her place, but she noticed a redheaded boy studying her. She looked up at his direction, and he turned away quickly.

Weird. I thought I was already forgotten.

"Hey, you! Are you coming or not?" Kuroko forgot about the boy and quickly ran to her assigned testing area, hoping to make some friends.

"You're really hard to see, um…" The boy in front of her tried to make conversation, but seemed to have forgotten her name.

"My name is Kuroko Tetsuya. It's boyish, I know, but I like it all the same."

"They say that no first year has ever made first string, you know? I guess the best we can do is aim for second." Kuroko gave the boy a nod, and their conversation ended just like that. She was never good at making friends.

The testing was finished, and everyone gathered to hear the results.

"Starting with the 3rd string…." Kuroko clutched her shirt as she waited. Maybe she'd make second!

"….and Kuroko Tetsuya." The teal-haired girl felt all of her excitement drop, but she smiled to herself when she recalled her promise with Ogiwara-kun. "I'll try my best," she told herself as she lifted her head up. Just as Kuroko walked towards the third string group, a surprising announcement was made.

"Now on to 1st string."

Murmurs exploded like a bomb across the gym. Everyone was muttering to each other, wondering who had made it to the legendary 1st string.

"Who is it?"

"It's a lie, right?"

"# 8: Aomine Daiki, # 11: Midorima Shintaro, # 23: Murasakibara Atsushi, and # 29: Akashi Seijurou."

Kuroko stared at the 4 boys. One had a dark tan and confident smile, the other looked stern and wore glasses, the third was as tall as can be, and the last boy was the one who had been watching her.

Extra: Kuroko meets Midorima

It was the second day of school, and Kuroko headed into her classroom with her bag on her shoulder. She quietly sat down and stared at the clouds.

"H-How did you get that?"

She turned in surprise. The person speaking was the green-haired boy with glasses who made it to the first string, and his shaking finger was pointed at Kuroko's duckling charm hanging off of her school bag.

"I bought it at a stationary store, Midorima-kun."

The boy looked even more shocked when she said his name.

"Do you want it? I can give it to you…"

"Uh, I never said that. It's just the lucky item of the day. But…" The boy looked like he was trying to deny it, but Kuroko could tell that he really wanted it. Weird hobby, I guess.

"Here." She took it off and tossed it to Midorima, who caught it with gratitude.

"What's your astrological sign?"

"Aquarius. Why are you asking?"

"I'll make sure to tell you what Oha-Asa says from now on. T-Thank you very much for the lucky item. I would've gotten bad luck if I didn't have it."

Kuroko had read about tsunderes in a book, but was this Midorima-kun one?

So, what do you think? I'll add interludes throughout their years at Teiko, so it wouldn't have the exact same storyline as the manga flashback. Please review if you liked it!
