Hello, this is a short beginning/one-shot I wrote several years ago. Thought it was kind of a fun kind of prologue :P
''Teikō Junior High School Basketball Club. A super strong school with more than 100 club members, boasting several successive championship wins. But even within that glorious history, there is still a team that can without fail be called the "strongest" - a generation of five players with talents that you would see once every ten years called the "Generation of Miracles."
Or so went the legend told by hundreds of people all around the country but it wasn't entirely true to facts, they weren't ''strongest'' of their generation. There once was a young teenage boy who almost single-handedly beat all of the Generation of Miracles, but of course, that's also but a legend by know. But even a legend can be told over and over, so why not tell this one?
It starts around their second year of middle school, Teikō Junior High were going up against this small town team Kōen Junior High. No one knew much about this small town team; It had only just eight members clothed in a black and white jersey. All eight members tall and well built, all standing high and proud as they walked into the stadium. Even though the Generation of Miracles brought a fierce, almost overwhelming air with them, this new team brought real fear to the court. People in the audience, experienced in the game of basketball or not could tell that this small town team was strong and powerful. This would be a face-off between two wild beasts of teams. But that hadn't been the case, the end left people stunned.
Teikō had been totally crushed by Kōen, the difference between points embarrassing far apart and left to never be mentioned again. the Generation of Miracles had been defeated and that by Kōens' young ace, a dark honey blond haired street-player with a name such as Takara Ringo. His deep blue cat-like eyes watching the GoMs' with amusement, his one eyebrow raised as a smirk was permanently plastered to his lips.
''Daunkuraun'' he said in a gentle tone as he slowly shook his head in disapproval, his eyes going back to his leaving teammates who shouted for his attention. Still, with a smirk on his lips, Takara Ringo and his teammates from Kōen left the stadium.
Of course, after losing their game, GoM swore to get their revenge match against this strong but unknown small town team. But a rematch never happened because however many people searched for this unknown team, the only Kōen team they found were some young kids not even good enough to play against another team. Takara Ringo and his seven teammates had disappeared into thin air, they weren't seen again.
It's been few years since then, the GoM members have all left Teikō to join their own teams and one day get to play their former teammates as rivals. Their goal set for the Winter Cup.
It was during the game between Shūtoku High, Shintarō Midorima VS Seirin High, Tetsuya Kuroko / Taiga Kagami the air suddenly changed dramatically. Shivers ran down even the spines of the GoM members who'd come to watch the game, the air turning spookingly thick as all action slowed to a sudden stop. All eyes falling on five long-lost faces that hadn't been seen since years back. But it was one particular dark honey blond haired sixteen-year-old, his eyes a dark blue as he gazed down at the court with amusement brightening his cat-like eyes.
Takara Ringo had returned to the very same stadium he several years back had beaten the Generation of Miracles. He chuckled before walking forward to lean his upper body against the seats in the furthest back of the stadium, his eyes scanning the crowd as he met the eyes of the GoM members.
''Tadaima''.
