Chapter 1:The Miracle Begins
A fifth grade Kuroko Tetsuya stood the empty schoolyard clutching a bright orange basketball and looking up at a standard 10' tall hoop. Had anyone looked at the yard they might have spotted a flash of orange and sky blue, then dismiss this as a hallucination. Had the person thought it something more than their imagination, they would have noticed that the orange was a ball, and notice that ball seeming move in it's own with that same flash of sky blue following it. If the person had actually watched the ball, then eventually, they would notice the blue haired boy handing the ball. The 10 year old Kuroko Tetsuya was a pale skinned, frail, boy with soft sky blue hair and particularly low presence. Even if you knew he was there, you would forget he was there over a period of time. To most, he was no more than a ghost, floating on the outskirts of their consciousness. But that day, two people managed to spot him. One, a boy the same age with brown hair and a girl the same age as both of them with warm auburn hair. Neither of the watchers saw each other, but both saw the boy playing basketball. They watched him, occasionally losing sight due to his weak presence. He struggled to even dribble properly, and his shot's missed the basket by more than a mile, but his spirit, even when he missed, never faltered. Every time the ball landed in his hands, his smile seemed to get bigger, and he'd just try harder. The pair of observers were simply drawn to this person, like bugs to a lamp or magnets to metal. Eventually, Kuroko realized that he was simply too tired to continue playing and left the court. The 2 observers left soon after, having lost their reason to be there. Even though Kuroko didn't know that these people were watching him, they would eventually become very important to him. A crossing of 3 destinies is the start of the miracle.
