Title: Teal Lights
Summary: Kuroko did not enroll in Seirin, but Shutoku instead, the same school that Midorima enrolled in. The two who claim they don't get along will have to work together to bring down their ex-teammates who are now in different schools.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basket. Fujimaki Tadatoshi does.
CHAPTER 1
It's only a few days left until the end of their third year in middle school. The middle school championship game is already over. The winner is Teiko, of course; since Teiko has the Generation of Miracles.
The Generation of Miracles is a group of basketball prodigies, each possessing a powerful ability that a normal human being can't acquire. The group consists of six young teenage boys, each completely different from the other.
Kise Ryouta, the blonde-haired player who can copy his opponents moves perfectly with more power and speed. Midorima Shintarou, the green-haired player who can shoot from anywhere on the court with absolute accuracy. Aomine Daiki, the tanned, dark blue-haired ace of the elite team whose basketball skills are off the charts. Murasakibara Atsushi, the purple-haired player who specializes greatly in both offense and defense. Akashi Seijuurou, the red-haired captain whose strategical abilities can completely turn the tides of every match in his favor. And last is Kuroko Tetsuya, the light blue-haired player whose skill lies in passing and stealing.
With the six of them together, all the matches were dominated by these prodigious six and are now the apples of the eye in basketball. Ever since first year, they won each and every match without fail, making sure that victory is theirs and only theirs. But now, they have to split ways.
It's not so long now until they are officially disbanded, as they all will be going to different schools in high school. There is a reason for that - they want to make the matches in high school a bit more entertaining since they're very much aware that if they remain together as a team, all the other teams will have no chance in winning. Hence, they decide to split ways.
Right now, two of the six members of the elite team are taking a walk together at the streets to pass the time.
Kuroko and Kise ate vanilla ice cream in peace for a few moments, until the latter broke the silence.
"So Kurokocchi... I just want to ask. What school did you enroll in?" Kise asked.
There's a small pause, but it didn't mean that Kuroko hesitated to answer the question. He was just busy licking on his ice cream before he swallowed the cold treat that was in his mouth, and then he gave his answer.
"Shutoku High." That answer earned the bluenette a big 'EEEHHHHH?!' from the blonde. But Kuroko wasn't that much bothered since Kise has always been acting like that since they first met. Although, he is curious to why Kise would be that surprised, so he questioned his friend to why he would be so bothered by the fact that he chose Shutoku.
Kise answered, "You know very well that Midorimacchi is also in that school, right?" His voice was louder than usual, but lucky enough there were not much bystanders around them.
Kuroko nodded, "Yes, I know."
"But you two don't get along! Isn't it better for you if you're in a different school than being with someone you're not on friendly terms with?"
The blue-haired teen sighed quietly, as he explained, "I know we don't get along, but it's not that bad anyway. I also got a scholarship in Shutoku, and it's better if I spend less money on the school tuition."
"But still..." Kise groaned in slight worry, scratching the back of his head. When he noticed that his ice cream is starting to melt, he panicked and licked the melting parts of the sweet. Kuroko suppressed a laugh; Kise can be really a like a child most of the time.
"Don't worry. We may not get along, but we rarely argue. You should be more worried if I'm in the same school as Murasakibara-kun." Kuroko assured.
"Now that you said it, you have a point. Murasakibaracchi and you always fight about basketball every single day that the tension made me uneasy." Kise replied, his face souring just from the memories of watching the bluenette and the purple head argue and argue when it comes to basketball.
"You enrolled in Kaijo, right?" Kuroko questioned after a while.
"Yeah."
"I heard that Kaijo is a nationally well-known school, and that it participates in the Inter-High every year. Is that true?"
"It is."
"Well then, I wish you a good first year in high school." the bluenette bid in his deadpan voice, his face blank and expressionless. Kise grinned and said the same thing to Kuroko, who smiled at his blonde-haired friend in a polite manner.
Kuroko hoped that his first year in high school will be a good one. He really wished it would, since there is something he has to do and he has to do it as soon as he can. He mentally prayed to any divine being who could hear him that he would be granted even the smallest stroke of luck.
TO BE CONTINUED
A/N: God, I was hesitant about making this at first. But after seeing that picture of Kuroko and Kagami in different teams (Kuroko in Yosen/Kaijo/Shutoku and Kagami in Rakuzan/Touou), I just got all the more inspired to make this.
Oh and don't worry. 'Through You' is not on hiatus. I'm just really busy in writing the Seirin vs Kaijou match scene, and it's kind of difficult for me since I'm trying to make it different from the canon version and I'm doing my best to make it good and not boring.
