Hansel and Gretel: Reverse
If Kuroko Tetsuya is Gretel, Aomine Daiki is Hansel, Kagami Taiga is the Witch, and the rest of the characters are casted by the Generation of Miracles and their friends.
Continuation is based on feedbacks, so please reviews on how it is. I have other stories lining up, haha.
Act 1
Story:
Once upon a time, there lives a woodcutter in the forest's entrance. Generations after generations, the sons of the family will become another woodcutter and continue the family's legacy, while the daughters are sent to be married off. This particular woodcutter of the current generation is the anomaly that will starts this story. And he is the father of the two children; Hansel and Gretel.
"Man! Why is a woodcutter supposed to cut trees? This is hard labour! Old man should've changed his job when he's alive! Or better starts from the ancestors." a man can be heard complaining as he fell another tree in the woods near his lodge.
The woodcutter, better known as Takao Kazunari is wiping his sweats off his limbs with the fabric slung around his neck; a little something his daughter had kindly gave him. Takao is a carefree and outgoing man who hates labour and hardwork, he loves easy and simple stuffs, often leaving the difficult parts of the work to someone else. Which is why it doesn't come as a surprise when his wife left him due to this very reason.
"Father, you shouldn't be complaining so much. You will get tired faster." The daughter softly reminded from the nearby tree she is leaning on, her nose buried in the worn-out book.
Takao grinned at this, momentarily stopping at his work to glance at his little sweetheart, who has a blunt tongue and passive behaviour towards whatever lies under the sun. "Sorry about that, Tetsuya-chan! Daddy will work harder~!" he waved one hand before he went back to chop the tree.
Kuroko only nodded, grazing her tiny nose with the rough page. The daughter of the family, Gretel, aka Kuroko Tetsuya, is a responsible child even at young age. At the absence of her birth mother, she took the house chores upon herself and see to it that they are all done properly and neat, like the way she likes it.
"Yo! Tetsu! What're you doing? Let's catch some cicadas! There's lots in the forest!" an energetic voice shouted as the figure appeared, running with a bug net on tied around his back.
Hansel, aka Aomine Daiki is a mischievous and rambunctious kid who loves to play pranks on his friends, and sometimes his father. He loves playing out in the sun from when it rises till it sets, contrary to his younger sister who prefers it indoor. With that, his complexion is sun-kissed while his sister is ghastly-pale.
"Aomine-kun. Are you done with mother's errand? Weren't you sent to buy 'an orange, hand-sized, bouncy ball with black streaks around it'?" Kuroko questioned, looking up from her book to see her brother face faulted.
"..That's right... That's just how she said it." Aomine mumbled in a depressed tone, his energy sapped in an instant. Then he suddenly raised his head, glaring with rage. "Seriously! What's with her weird 'star constellation' obsession! Where am I supposed to buy that damn orange ball thingy!"
The lady of the household, and the second wife to the woodcutter, also the step-mother to the children, is a well-brought up lady from a well-off family that lives in nearby town. Seeing as Takao is quite an irresponsible and immature man, he seek out a lady that is mature and responsible, like his daughter.
By chance, or rather, by star constellation and the green-shirt with orange stripes he was wearing, Takao met a young woman that fits his description. And like any other love stories, the two marries. "My star constellation told me that love is coming from the East, and my lucky colours are green and orange.", was how their married life began.
Kuroko gazed at her brother boredly. "You are going to get scolded. The only reason why mother stayed home today was because her 'lucky item' is not present. You might not get dinner tonight."
At the last sentence, the boy blanched. "G-Gods, No!" he shouted in distress, his knees hit the ground as he fell limp. The most cruel punishment for the growing boy is to go without any of the 3-times meal each day.
"Worry not, dear son." Takao patted his puffed chest, a confident smirk on his face. "I will talk to your mother, and you won't go without dinner!" he stated with his nose standing tall.
Aomine lit up almost immediately, he got up from the ground, and his eyes beaming in full-power at his father. "Seriously, Dad?! You're the best!" he exclaimed with respect and admiration.
All the while, the little sister said nothing at the father-son exchange. Kuroko sighed. Seems like her father will have less, if none, on his plate. While her leftover went to her brother's stomach, like it has always been.
