Prologue
It'd been three days since Kuroko had entered the prestigious Teiko Academy. Initially, he'd wanted to go to a school more familiar to him, like Fujishima Elementary. However, his friend, Ogiwara, had said he wanted to attend Teiko, but wasn't able to with him moving away from the prefecture. So, if he couldn't go, the boy decided his best friend should attend in his place: Because 'best friends are meant to make these decisions for you'.
This school Kuroko had been suggested was like no other:
Firstly, it was situated in the heart of Japan, Tokyo, amongst the busy commuters bustling their way past it daily. The rushed residents of Tokyo never once resisted the urge to marvel upon the splendour of the school's campus. It looked private- and i suppose you could say it was... Because it was. It was an elite middle school- yet not so elite that nobody could get in. The school grounds were thriving with rich bright green grass, neatly trimmed to the perfect height to make it flawless. Paths were made of a stunningly white line of concrete blocks, not one was chipped around the edges as they slotted perfectly into place, and carved around corners so they all fit together to make a white carpet for its students to manoeuvre around the grounds easily without having to touch the immaculate grass. The paths were bordered with short, straight trimmed hedges that would only be coated in pink petals when the Sakura trees that guarded the school were in full bloom.
Behind this stunning display of a traditional looking Japanese park stood a tall, wide, western looking building that looked remarkably alike the white house that stood tall in the United States. Though, this building looked bigger- less like a home, and more like a school. But neither the less, it had the same, large, pillared entrance, and a dozen large windows spreading left and right- packed with classrooms. There was two other buildings behind this marvel of a structure that had interesting, new designs. One was made with large glass panels that made the entrance look more like a large conservatory which worked as a small 'cafe' for students on break- thought it wasn't the main eating area. The rest of the building was made with red bricks that stretched out around it in the shape of an L. This building contained the school library, student support rooms and a few classrooms- and of course, bathrooms for the students to use. This new building was three stories high, and the main building was only two- which made it all the more difficult for students that studied economics to get up to their class if they had a small amount of stamina. The third building was an odd shape- consisting of a a large circular entrance where the roof was also circled, and on a tilt toward the courtyard to make it look a little 'edgy'. To be honest, it looked like the entire structure was made of different rooms just added and added toward the whole building, with places sticking out all over. It was... Different.
Not only was the physical appearance of Teiko academy amazing, but its foundation was also unique. It's a school that had strict entry requirements- but of which had nothing to do with grades, oh no. It was a school for the 'other' beings that secretly blended in with society, yet ruled the majority of Japan. You could say that those that attended were rich and the heir's of famous, powerful figures in the country. But why was this school created? Well, of course, to separate 'them' from 'us' - isn't that always the case? At least, that was the original intention. But now, the school had begun changing its courses, changing everything about it under the rule of the Akashi cooperation, under the demands that the head of one of the most powerful families in Japan had.
His aim was clear: to mix the two different worlds that co-existed in Japan to create further understanding, and make life easier for those that belonged outside of what was classified as 'normal'. So, the school recently began to enrol those from what was deemed the 'normal' side of society, though those that could be manipulated and shaped to form a future where supernatural beings and humans could co-exist and the Akashi family would rule that world as the genus designers.
The bluenette had passed the test upon enrolment- an interview with the principle's assistant, and surprisingly enough he was asked peculiar questions. Apparently not many people were questioned or interviewed during enrolment, so he was baffled why he was as well as a couple of other students in his class. On the first day, his class was filled with people that seemed pretty normal, though equally confused on what was going to happen to them as their teacher walked in with a fluffy tail trailing down her leg. What?
It was then that they were told exactly what this academy was, and who they were about to meet during the course of the next three years.
The careful integration of species began from that moment, a prideful day for the man that had arranged it-
Even more so with his son taking part in his 'project'.
On the second day, Kuroko was pushed into a new classroom with new people that you could tell were... different. Supernaturals usually took on human form, and in this school, they all did. The more powerful a supernatural being was, the easier they found to shape shift- a key class in this academy that both humans and supernaturals had to attend. The bluenette had no idea why he had to watch people morph their bodies around on the first class, not being able to do so himself. Soon enough the other human members of the class- being only another two people, began to mess around with paper, doing their own little 'transformations' with cutting out ears and folding up paper to make different shaped tails to put on themselves. Maybe that was what their teacher wanted them to do to 'reach an understanding' with the other half of the student body? Kuroko, however, simply sat in his desk and watched the male and female student mess with the tools they had.
Though his peace was disturbed when a muscular, tanned student that seemed to be tall enough to be in his second year decided he wanted to join in with the fun and games with paper and placed paper fox ears atop Kuroko's head.
The boy wore the same uniform as Kuroko did, but with a plain blue tie instead of the thin white stripes Kuroko had, as did the two human students in the school. He supposed that difference in uniform was what teachers used to determine who was what at a glance. The slightly tanned teen wore the formal attire with little to no effort, not even bothering to tuck his shirt into his pants. It said a lot about the boy when it came to visual first impressions, but then again, many of the supernaturals in school, and a few humans, didn't bother to take care of the same tedious task of tucking in their light blue shirts. Never the less, this boy, Aomine Daiki, looked good. He stood out from the vast population of the school, not only for his skin tone, but because of his blueberry hair colour. It went nicely with the blue theme of their uniform- much like Kuroko's powdered blue locks did.
The two began to talk casually, and Kuroko found himself being drawn to the fellow bluenette as the class went on. The first topic they went into was what the stranger was- and that turned out to be an arch angel. The human teen would have sat in disbelief, but he knew well that the school was not normal with the lesson that had just taken place in front of his very own eyes. It wasn't until the last school bell rang that the two separated for 12 hours- then found themselves back together again for another round of chat.
And that was practically how his day went once more as he tackled the various odd lessons. He was also introduced to his new apartment on campus, where he would be sharing his room with somebody when everything was 'finalised'. Honestly, Kuroko couldn't only think about how the school was slightly disorganised for not having roommates already arranged before the academic year had even begun.
At the beginning of his third day in the academy, Aomine came banging on the front door to his apartment, and when the younger teen opened the door, the angel had stated that a school assembly that was compulsory to attend was called.
And they played what felt like bingo.
Stepping into the room with his new friend, Kuroko found himself amazed by the sheer size of the grand hall. Its walls stood tall over the student body that filed in like ants, with tall marble pillars decorating the sides of the hall that framed the room, and made it look longer, wider, and more intimidating. The ceiling was made of glass- glass that allowed the natural light to filter into the room tirelessly onto the students- and around the many slabs of glass was carvings that made the room look extremely traditional, posh, and rich. The architect really put a lot of effort into the interior design of the building, and every single room was perfect from what the young teen had observed.
The student body was told that as it stood, only 20% of the students standing in the room were human. Because of this, the 'other' part of the student formation must be considerate and not take advantage of the minority population, and to keep themselves in their human forms as much as they could at all times- thought that was difficult for the young ones that would have to struggle with hats to hide ears, horns, and whatever abnormality that hadn't the power to conceal at the time. Once the human students were used to the idea, the other world would be introduced slowly but surely until they didn't have to hide in the school building so much. It didn't really make sense to Kuroko after being forced to take a shape-shifting lesson with the abstract population.
Then, the students were told that each human was to have his own supernatural- which was going to be published soon enough. No, not bingo, more like a lotto; A lucky dip? Yes, a lucky dip. Each human was called by name up to the stage after the head of staff faculty told them about this new partnership.
Each supernatural that had a human assigned to them was to be bound by a spell of word. Each person was to pick from the box of names that were all supernatural students of the academy in the first year, and from there, the name would be announced by the teacher, a witch. From then on, the two would share a connection like none other, but strongest on the humans side. The human would know the thoughts, feelings, locations, of their partner- and the supernaturals would know all about the humans apart from their thoughts and feelings.
Though, that was fine by most- and this spell wasn't needed for some supernaturals that were good at tracking, and knowing all they had to about a person. Supernaturals were not only different in the physical sense, but were also extremely intelligent. Knowing what your partner's thoughts and feelings were- was easy enough for them. Those with peeked senses could judge from their sense of hearing- listening to the human's heart beat. Sounds right, right?
'Kuroko Tetsuya!' The witch called from the stage, and the bluenette stood up in silence as the entire student body looked around to see where the teen was with anticipation in their eyes. Not only were the students to be bonded, but the humans were to shadow their supernatural partner. It was a given that all supernaturals thoughts humans to be the weaker race, and had the intentions of domination the student that was made to pair with them.
'I said, Kuroko Tetsuya?'
The teacher repeated as Kuroko stopped to the side of the teacher.
"I'm right here, Miss." The boy announced, the small sound of his voice reached the microphone the adult Witch was holding- drawing the entire hall toward the stage in bewilderment.
"Oh-!" The lady said in exasperation. She then gestured to the box, still shook by the boys sudden appearance, and the male student proceeded to do what he had to do- pick a piece of paper from the box. The bluenette took a soft breath through his mouth as he began to pull the piece of paper he'd latched onto, wondering what in the world he'd been yanked into, and then gave it to the blonde teacher beside him.
"And Kuroko-kun has picked.." She began as she un-folded thin slice of white paper. "Akashi Seijuro!" She yelled, and mutters began to slither around the tense hall among the student body. Kuroko couldn't help but look into the crowed with confusion evident in his crystal blue eyes.
