AN: Hey, yes, a Kuroko no Basuke fic. Wholly different characters and personalities and plot line from my usual fics, but I'll try my best!
Be free with your criticisms! And please leave a review!
Enjoy!
.
In which the Generation of Miracles are closer to each other than most people think and Kuroko has all the pride and arrogance of being one of them - with the right amont of humility and morals needed to defeat his old team mates. And Akashi's a good guy. Though the 'Emperor' is still as frightening as ever. And the Oath is more than what it seems to be.

Prologue
The Teiko Middle School Basketball Club.
An incredibly strong team with over one hundred members and three consecutive championship wins. Even within that brilliant history, a group of five prodigies known as the 'Generation of Miracles' stood above the rest.
However, there was a strange rumour concerning the Generation of Miracles. Despite being relatively unknown and lacking a game record, there was one more player recognized by the five prodigies.
A phantom sixth man.
They stood in the empty gym, facing each other, solemn expressions on their faces.
Akashi was the first to speak, "I trust everyone knows why we have gathered here?"
Silent nods from everyone – to break the tense silence that surrounded them was no one's intention. Midorima adjusted his glasses, using the motion to cover the pained look that briefly crossed his face. Kise had an unusually serious expression on his face and stared resolutely at nothing in particular. Aomine looked bored, as was common since the past year and half. Murasakibara, for once, did not carry any snack, which acknowledged how serious the meeting was.
Finally,
"Shuutoku," Midorima declared,
Immediately, Kise spoke up, "Kaijo,"
"Yosen," Murasakibara's bored tone sounded,
Aomine hesitated for a long moment, appearing for the first time, unsure, before he answered Akashi's unspoken question, "Touou,"
Akashi went last, "Rakuzan."
"And what about Kuroko?" Midorima inquired at last.
"Tetsuya will join us in this Oath," Akashi replied calmly, "he may not be here now, but there is no mistaking his participation in this game,"
A game. That was what Akashi called it. And in a way it was – a giant, unending game of chess where all of them were pawns. Akashi, Midorima, Murasakibara, Aomine, Kuroko, Kise as well as Momoi – all of them were mere pawns, trying to cross the chess board to reach the other side and reclaim their roles; their positions; to win and finally end this game.
But, when the game had begun – a year and half ago – there had been only a few players and no opponents. All they had were internal conflicts and no end in sight. It was doomed to be a failure. So, this was a second chance. In High School, they would reset the board and play, now with both players and opponents, and try to dethrone the Emperor.
Six schools; all having a member of the Generation of Miracles on their team, all aiming for the number one position as basketball champions; competing against each other on the court; unknowing of the actual importance the old Teiko club members associated the game with. It was not a simple game to them – it was fulfilling an Oath.
AN: How was it? Please let me know in your reviews! Any errors - do point them out!
I will try my best to act out everyone's personality, but if you feel that any character is wrongly portrayed, do let me know!
