/ Chapter 1: Betrayal /
(Kuroko Tetsuya's POV)
Memories/Flashback -
It was after the Winter Cup… when everything started to fall apart…
Seirin High has just won the Winter Cup! We defeated Rakuzan High and become the number one team in Japan! Everyone was crying and hugging each other. It was a happy moment until…
On our way to our locker room, I suddenly realised I forgot my water bottle back at the bench.
"Ano Kagami, I'll be right back!" I said as I turned around and ran. "Ah wait! Where are you going?!" Kagami yelled after me. "I forgot something!" And continued running towards the stadium.
After retrieving my bottle, I made my way back to the locker room. I was about to open the door when I heard Koganei's voice. "Since we won the Winter Cup, don't you think we should kick Kuroko off the team? I mean he's great and all but sooner or later he's gonna be in the way and drag us behind. Don't you guys agree?" I gasped. 'I didn't believe what I was hearing… Are they really going to do it? After all the fun time we had…' Tears started streaming down face as I stared down at the floor. I was about to walk away- "What?! Do you know what you're saying? The reason we even got here was because of Tetsuya" Riko yelled. "Yea Riko is right. It's thanks to Kuroko and Kagami that we made it this far." Kiyoshi said after. "Yes I agree with Riko and Kiyoshi. Those two helped us. The light and the shadow." I heard Hyuga say. "But all he can do is pass, he can't even shoot. He's quite useless to be honest" Furihata said as he shook his head. "Don't you think so too Kagami?" "Huh? Oh um… yea. I mean he just pass, he doesn't do anything else. We can move forward without him."
I covered my ears and tried to block out their conversation. Even his light thought he's useless. 'Why? WHY?! Why is this happening again? Why does everyone think i'm useless' Tetsuya suddenly had a flashback of his past, when the Generation of Miracles didn't need her anymore. 'I'm that useless huh?' Tetsuya dropped his bottle and ran for the exit. People watched him but he didn't care. He needed to get out of here, away from everyone. When he pushed open the door, he disappeared. That was the last time anyone saw him.
-Meanwhile-
"Hey did you guy hear that?" Kawahara asked as he walked towards the door. Everyone shook their heard. Kawahara opened the door to find a water bottle spilled on the floor. "Hey isn't this Kuroko's bottle?" He said, picking up the bottle and showing everyone. "Oh no… no… He heard didn't he? Riko opened her phone and tried calling Tetsuya. [The number you're trying to contact is currently unavailable. Please try later] "He's not picking up!" Riko yelled and tried again. "Damn it!" Riko threw her phone down. "Koganei! I'm making you train 10 times harder!" Riko said, "Oh and you guys too!" As she pointed at Furihata and Kagami. "What?!" "NO BUT!" Kagami felt guilty for saying it, he didn't realised what he said. He was so lost in thought and he just agreed with Furihata. 'I'm sorry Tetsuya. Please be alright.'
