The Rainbow We Saw That Day

Chapter one ~ The Tiger I Saw That Day

"And because a tiger's leap is greater than a rabbit's, it could only look at the majestic tiger's back"

Kuroko Tetsuya was always one not to be noticed right away. He was very pale, had light blue hair, and was quite short. He never did have that much of a physical appearance. In fact, the only sport he played was basketball. Even then he wasn't really prepared for the physical demands.

Starting anew however, brought a smile to the usual apathetic Kuroko's face. Kuroko was now attending Seirin High School. As he walked to his classroom, he thought about the new classmates he would make, the field trips he would go on, and the new things he would learn. He took the last seat in the back, next to the window. Then the class started the introductions. The taller, red haired, young man stood up in front of him.

"My name is Kagami Taiga. I'm 16 years old, my blood type is A, I'm a Leo, and I love basketball!" Kuroko had already sensed a flame in the boy in front of him.

"Alright, let's start in the front of the second row now," said the homeroom teacher who obviously was very tired.

"Excuse me," Kuroko said, "You've forgotten me."

Kagami almost fell out of his chair due to Kuroko's ghost like whisper.

"H-H-How long have you been there?!" Kagami asked startled.

"I was here even before you had entered the classroom," Kuroko replied.

"Whatever just give us your introduction," the teacher said with his hand to his forehead.

"My name is Kuroko Tetsuya. I am 16 years old, my blood type is A, I'm an Aquarius, and I love basketball."

Kagami flashed Kuroko a smile and thumbs up. He then turned around as the rest of the students finished their introductions. Kuroko could already tell that Kagami was different, that he could be the light he finally needed to grow.
