Well I told you that I would continue this fanfic. I am testing this out and how I write it on the fly, so give me ideas, even though no one is reading this (probably in the future). Yet here is Chapter 1 of "On that Faithful Day."
Chapter 1
"It was one practice that we finished up and all of us were going home. I met up with Kagami at the burger place across from the steakhouse we ate at. I and Kagami talked about the tournament and how he is my light and I'm his shadow. You know the Aomine phrase." Everybody laughed as Aomine moaned as he took a sip of his wine, "What happened next?"
"Well, after eating, I just walked back home. That is the first problem came up, my parents. See, my parents are very fond of me and supported me when I started playing basketball, but that is when I was very energetic and very happy. As time passed on, middle school happened and I had no friends over there, and my basketball changed to the invisible person basketball player that I am today. This made my parents really worried about me. My parents didn't like the internal shift on my personality. We had some conversation and I was able to get mostly some of it on my phone." Kuroko reached down to his pocket and turn on his phone. Then he played a recording:
"Kuroko, what is going on with you? What happened to the energetic, fun, little child that always play with your friend. You are always quiet, lonely. What happened to you?" her mother question depressingly.
"Is there anything going at school? Is anyone bulling you? Just please tell up! We want to help you be back to the old Kuroko!" His father was in somber because he felt the same way as his mother is feeling.
"I'm fine! Mom why can't you see that I am doing just fine! My team is as many friends as I need! Why can't you see that?"
Then why does you team call you invisible? Everyone says that you are like a ghost. Even your teachers barely notice you?"
"Well I am sorry that I can't control my special powers! I am sorry that I am so invisible. I am sorry if I disappoint you, and I'm sorry for being such a bad child!"
The recording ended as the rest the Generation of Miracle stared at Kuroko blankly in disbelief. He never had seen this side of Kuroko in their lives. The anger in his voice was never heard by him.
"Wow, I never thought you will ever act like that before!" Midorima spoke," How long your parents have been treating you like this?"
"This had been going on for a while, but that is beside the points, Midorima," Kuroko blankly replied. "I'll get some food for us, what do you guys not?" They all agreed that they wanted some chips if he could find any. So Kuroko, left to the kitchen, leaving his phone on the table. Kise tried to pick the phone up, but Akashi intercepted him.
"We shouldn't look though his phone. Who knows what is in there. We should respect his past," Akashi suggested seriously as he finished his wine.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to see how many conversation he recorded on his phone. What is the worst that could happen," Kise replied as he took the phone out of Akashi's hand. He scrolled his phone downwards and saw how many conversations Kuroko had. Kise eye widened and was left dumbfounded. He showed to everyone, but unsurprising everyone saw it coming. Akashi felt Kuroko's presence, so he told Kise to put the phone back on the table and act natural.
"I got some chips and I have some artichoke dips we can have. Now that I brought the food, where are we in the story?" Midorima reminded him and Kuroko continued on in the story. "People started to notice that something was wrong with me and ask what happened. I usually ignore them, but I would drop some hints on what happen."
"In some your games during that time, we would see that your misdirection was really bad and sometimes your passes were sloppy," Murasakibara remembered, "Heck in the middle of the third, you fainted and we had to carry you out of the court and into the bench."
"That was one of the days that I ran away from my house. My parents made me go over the edge. The lost all faith in not only in my basketball skills, but as their son." Kuroko picked up his phone and showed them another recording:
"Kuroko… please open the door. We just want you to come," his mom cried in distress, "I'm still your mother."
"I know that you are your my mother, but I am mot your son anymore. There something inside your heart that changed both of you."
"We are just trying to help you fit in with the school. Just please open the door, you haven't come out that door for almost a day."
"I am 19 years old! I can handle problems on my own. I'm not your little child now. Just leave me alone!"
"No; I will not leave you. I still love you Kuroko, even if people call you invisible. Just get out of the room! Kuroko?"
The recording stopped after a moment of silence.
That is when I left through the window and ran away from my house and went in the street." Just then, he heard his doorbell ring. Kise walked down and open the door. There he saw the pink-haired girl. Momoi happily stood there with a basket of food, not knowing what happened inside the house. She asked if she can come in, and he let her though.
There she met up with the Generation of Miracle. "Oh, I see that you saw Kuroko's house. It is nice, isn't it? Just wait till you see the rooms. They are amazing!" Momoi chirped.
"Hey Momoi. We were just talking about the incident. Come join us." She sat next to Aomine and starting to listen to Kuroko.
"After I ran away from the house, I decided to crash at Momoi's place for a few days. Luckily, she had a place for me to stay. He turned to Momoi with a smile as Momoi smiled back, but then his face turned into despair.
"After crashing at Momoi's place, I decided to go to my house to see my parents. I know that my parents were going to be pissed at me, but I didn't that they were going to be that pissed." He picked up his phone once again, made them listen to a conversation:
"Where were you for the past week? I was so worried about you. Why did you have to run away?" His mother started.
"You were lucky that we didn't call the police on you. We knew that the publicity was going to hurt you," his father argued.
"For the past month, we have seen you missing, sad, depressed, and moody. There is a really something bad with you. Why can't you tell us what is wrong with you?"
"What is the point? I wish that you would that you would just accept me as what I am. You act like my invisibility is a bad thing for my life, but It isn't. The reason I felt sad and depressed is because you don't believe me in the past or now! You said that you have faith me from the beginning, but it only masked what you really felt about me, hatred. I just wish you would understand what I'm going through."
"You know what; I don't want to hear this crap anymore. If you don't appreciate what we do, there is no point being your parents."
"What are you doing with that? Stop it, put it down. No, stop, no, no NO!"
Everybody was eye-widened and some with their jaws out as the conversation ended on a cliffhanger.
"That is when my parents did the worse thing they could ever do to me, they try to kill me. My dad picked up a kitchen knife and slashes his knife marks on my back. I remember the pain of my back, then blacking out after that. It was the worst experience of my life." Kuroko stood up and took his T-shirt off. There on his back were major scars on his back along his back. Everyone was shocked and Momoi was crying on Murasakibara. No one moved an inch and everybody was so quiet, you could hear a penny drop to the floor.
"I was lucky enough that the slashes were just slashes, and not cuts through my spine, so I lost a lot of blood in the process, but I didn't break any part of the spine. At least, that what my doctor said about my back. Luckily, Momoi came to the rescue and put me into the hospital right before I lost neatly lost all of my blood." Momoi was crying, but she had a big smile on his face.
"No wonder everybody was crying at your school. The people were talking about it, but I didn't believe it. I thought it was a nasty rumor to make them feel pity on him. I never thought it was true. Murasakibara recalled as he sat back down on the couch and ate some of the chips.
"At my school, everybody was talking about it too, but I thought it was just a rumor made up by some of my teammates, but like him, I never thought it was true." Momoi tried to stop crying, but she couldn't stop. Then out of nowhere, they all began to touch his back and felt all of the rigid bumps of his scars on Kuroko. Kuroko tried to feel the pain, as the scar still stings a little, but the pain was too much. He screamed and told everyone to back off. Everyone apologized and sat back down at the couch.
"Before I can continue on, I want you to follow me." They followed him out of the couches and went to a door that was between the couches and the billiard table.
"Now before we looked in, I have to tell you what happen after the knife incident." Everyone nodded at Kuroko continue on. "After the knife incident, I started going into depression. My powers became useless and everyone was making fun of me and thought I basically suck now. Heck, you guys joked around how I can't use my powers unlike you guys." Everybody remember what they said when they were playing with Kuroko and felt guilty about it.
"I felt like that you guys hated me; you didn't want me around because I was just a joke next to you guys. No one cared about me; not only you, but my very own parents exile me from their lives. You can say I was the true shadow of the light. You could also say I was really invisible and that why I use my powers every single day. I felt like the only one in the world that understands me. I felt like on that day that I felt was the right choice.
Kuroko bow his head down and finally open the door. What they saw brought them into their knees and Momoi fainted on Aomine. Everything was quiet until, they all had a tear in their eyes and slowly started crying.
"Oh my god, what have I don't to you," Aomine cried as his hands were cupped from his dreadful tears.
"Why did you have to do that to yourself? I know you were pushed to your limits, but you didn't have to take this way out," Kise sobbed as he lied on Murasakibara's shoulder.
"Why did you go this way? Why… Why… Why did you try to kill yourself?" Aomine screamed. There lied in his room there was a rope that hanged from the fan on top that had a loop just as big as Kuroko's head.
"At the time, there was only 1 option for me to do, and that was death I thought that I would live in peace that everyone would just forget about me, but I guess that I was wrong." Kuroko shed as the rest of the Generation of Miracles were looking around crying. They all saw what they wrote on t the wall above his bed "I just want one person to see me."
"Luckily my parents found, me hanging on the rope and took me to the hospital. That was the first time that someone actually found me as a real person. After I got checked out a week or two later, you guys were there outside the hospital. My heart was finally open and bright when you guys came there, not knowing what happened to me, until now…"
Everybody went up to him and hugged him and was saying things like" We will never leave you ever again," or "Please don't scare us like that, we don't want you to die," or " Just please stay here as long as you can. Just don't leave us from our sight." Then he said something strange.
"You know that this is only one part of many incidents that led up to the tournaments. I have only told you my family part; I haven't told you the rest…"
Finally, I'm done with this chapter. It took us way longer than usual, but it is done. This chapter basically talked about some parts of the anime it didn't cover on Kuroko's life, like his family and why he is using his power outside of basketball. Well, on that note, try to review this and PM me for ideas in the future. Get ready for Chapter 2 on the weekends, hopefully.
