Chapter 2
"I don't think you were wrong, but…I can't."
Kuroko was waiting for the usual fist bump after every match but this time it was different
"I'll never find what I am looking for."
As Aomine was running away, it seemed as if he was fading from his grasp, he attempted to reach out frantically, he gasped and stood frozen, and glanced down at his legs that were unable to move from the shock, a mix of distress and hate rushed and engulfed him all at once. He had unusual emotionless gaze, blue sweaty locks were covering almost his eyes, head was down, and a pang of fear struck him and nearly made his body tremble. If only Aomine had bumped his shadow's fist, if only he had turned to look at kuroko and asked him if he wanted to eat ice cream like every day, if only kuroko didn't make up that decision and leave, then he wouldn't be able to see how much Aomine was regretting this moment.
His eyes fluttered open, his emotionless gaze was looking more tired and haunted than he had in the past, for the first time, kuroko did not want to go to school, but he knew that he cannot do that so with a tired sigh he got up and went to make for himself a breakfast.
When he realized that he has finished everything, including getting his bad hair looking pleasant, he left his house with a bag slung over his shoulder. He took his favorite book to read it while he was walking, since he really wanted to read; and not wanting to remember what had happened yesterday.

Kuroko sighed in relief when he heard the last bell ring; he never noticed that this red haired guy that he met yesterday was actually in his class, and sitting in front of him no less, he was probably very absorbed during class and he never wanted to be noticed. He stood up knowing that no one will notice him, he walked behind that guy who seemed deep in his thoughts and muttering some incoherent words, he was holding his favorite book in his hand to continue reading… then an idea came to his mind, he actually wanted to see them how well they played in basketball… and how they actually defeated Aomine alone, so he silently followed him, and glancing at his back everyone now and then.

Kuroko's emotionless gaze had a slight excitement as he watched them practice a mini game between the seniors and juniors; he was watching secretly near the entrance of the gym, his head titling to one side, a red haired guy roared as he jumped so high to dunk fiercely into the ring that almost got destroyed.
He saw how the person who wore the jersey number seven (it's kiyoshi's number) was heading to dunk but stopped abruptly since the red haired guy stood in front of him, blocking his way, grinning as if he won this game, dribbling the ball, Kiyoshi had faked that he was going to shoot, but being fast he passed the ball from behind not too far, since Hyuuga was open and no one was marking him, Hyuuga grasped the ball and shot it. Kuroko was amazed how the ball entered into the ring smoothly.
Their coach, Aida Riko ordered them to gather around her and to stop their mini game, Kiyoshi was walking tiredly but his steps were halted in a quick sudden, he was sure he caught a glimpse of someone who was standing in the entrance, Kiyoshi eyes were locked with blue emotionless eyes, he was about to greet this person ' Hey!' He was walking towards him, but…
Kuroko realized too late that he was discovered, this person who has half-long brown hair, has dark eyes, and thick eyebrows, had greeted him, before everyone could find out, Kuroko stormed away, leaving Kiyoshi confused…
" Oi, Kiyoshi are you alright? Did you see some ghost?" Hyuuga's question snapped him out to reality.
' Uhhh, no I thought I saw someone…, never mind'

It was in the evening when he decided to buy a milkshake from Maji Burger, he sat and started to sip from his straw, his thoughts were a mess, about how they defeated them, he wished to know that. Suddenly someone put a tray that was filled with huge amounts of burgers on the table that he was occupying… and looked up to see, a red haired guy, fate seemed to hate him, he sighed inwardly, waiting for this person to notice him.
The person took the first bite while he was staring through the window glass and watching how people passed by, until he caught a glimpse of someone with blue hair, he thought he was imaging, he blinked repeatedly and almost got choked while he was eating, he was shocked to find out that Kuroko Tetsuya was here, wait…..
"What are you doing here? When did you get here?!"He shouted and gained disapproving looks from the customers, he blushed embarrassedly, he glared halfheartedly at him… he sighed irritably and continued eating his burgers.
"I was sitting here first; I like this place's vanilla shakes"
This person smirked and leaned forward, but not too close to kuroko…
"Go somewhere else" He commanded him rudely
" I don't want to" He continued to sip his Milkshake and looking at this red haired guy with a slight respect, after seeing him play, he knew that he resembled that person a lot, only by the way he played.
" Kagami Taiga"
He titled his head on one side in confusion" Eh?"
"My name," This person with red hair and split eyebrows continued to speak while unwrapping and eating the last burger" You can call me Kagami… "
"Kuroko Tetsuya"
Kagami sighed, he already knows his name.

It was really awkward that they were walking together as if they were best friends, Kuroko wanted to say goodbye for Kagami, since it was getting late…
" Kagami-kun I am going home now"
"Wait!" The word that escaped from Kagami's mouth made kuroko stop from leaving, it was very amusing to look at how kagami was fidgeting nervously… the bluenette was really wondering about why he has stopped him.
"I don't know what happened between you and Aomine but… you can't"
Kagami's red locks were covering his eyes, he clenched his fists hard… he sighed as he promised himself to make it, for Aomine and kuroko…
"I am going to make you love Basketball again, I promise!"
Kagami shouted as he declared his new promise
Kuroko was shocked as he watched Kagami storming away, leaving him standing like a frozen statue.

Kuroko felt the need to go back there, he was running as fast as he could… he needed something to explain this feeling, and that something was Basketball… he entered the school easily by using his misdirection again in a good use, as he reached to the school basketball gym, he found out that the door was still open, he sighed to calm his erect beating heart, and grasped the door's knot tightly, and opened the door.
Leaving the door open, he stepped inside and turned on the light, he just stood looking at the hoop with a distant eyes, then his eyes found a lone ball, he walked toward it and bent down to hold it, he spun it on his index finger for awhile, after that he tried to shoot the ball, but it was a fail attempt, he let the ball bounce as it hit the ground, leaving it on its own, he clenched his fists angrily, why he can't do it? If he can, he was sure he would be able to help Aomine-kun to be himself again, but he only excelled in passing, that's why if he had the chance he would have found a new light, he shook his head, what was he thinking! He quit this sport and that's why he didn't even search for a new light, he didn't need to be left behind again.
Kuroko failed to notice that someone has entered the basketball gym, he was startled when someone greeted him in a surprised tone, he turned to look at the intruder and it was him again, fate seemed to hate him.
"You again! You were watching us practice, oh and you are from Seirin too!"
Kuroko was watching this person in a deadpan expression, he was eating a brown sugar candy; he offered kuroko who politely refused….
"Who are you?"
Kuroko never thought that he would see him, he was sure it was just a coincidence, he saw how well he played, it brought him some excitement he never thought he would feel it again.
" Kiyoshi Teppie"
" Kuroko Tetsuya"
Kuroko didn't know how to react, what should he say, and what should he do? He was feeling uncomfortable, should he ask him how does he feel? But he just met this person. Kuroko was terrible in socializing, that's why he was so confused at how to strike up a decent conversation, he was about to say something when the silence was really making the atmosphere awkward, but was interrupted as Kiyoshi kept the conversation going.
"You are interesting! Are you the sixth man of generation of Miracles?"
"Not anymore"
Kiyoshi saw the ball that was close enough to kuroko's shoes, he bent down and grabbed it, and he started to dribble the ball…
" we are still highschoolers! Believe in your potential a little more" Kuroko 's head titling to one side in confusion " Eh?" Kiyoshi jumped to dunk the ball but failed making kuroko sweat drop, Kiyoshi turned to making his leave, but stopped since he wanted to deliver for kuroko a silent message. "I am just talking to myself. See you next time, kuroko-kun" He winked and waved goodbye to him as he started to walk again, kuroko felt the need to stop him since he left his brown sugar on the floor… " Ano" That made Kiyoshi stop but it was too late as he stepped at his candy that he just bought, making kuroko sweat dropped again at the sad sight that came from Kiyoshi. "I just bought these, what a waste"

He was walking home since it was getting very late, thinking about Kiyoshi-san was confusing enough to make him lost in thoughts and it resulted him to bump into someone and making him fall down with a hard thud, he yelped and looked up to see a very tall and huge person, why does fate hate him so much? Meeting people that he doesn't want to meet and meeting some people that he just wanted to ignore and avoid… this person that he bumped into has a dark gray hair, long face and two piercings on each ear. Kuroko eyes widened in shock as he whispered his name
" Haizaki Shogo"
Haizaki thought that he heard someone saying his name, he looked around but found no one, until he heard someone say…" down here"
Kuroko didn't know why he greeted this person; he remembered unpleasant things about him, like how his violent nature is so powerful, and he might kill you if you provoke this person so much, he remembered how he used to steal his food just like how he steals moves, Haizaki glanced down, and saw …. " Kuroko Tetsuya" He smirked villainy, and his gaze held some emotion that could be described as lust, kuroko stood up and dusted the dirt, he sighed inwardly but before he could say anything… his chin was held up by Haizaki's index finger and he was leaning so close, enough to his mouth, kuroko wanted to do something… anything, but remained frozen… and prayed silently for someone to stop him, but who was he kidding? No can see him from the start….
" TETSU!"
Suddenly kuroko was shoved aside by a strong hand that made him fall hard with a loud thud on his butt; he winced and looked up to see …Aomine! Haizaki shrieked and fell as Aomine socked him square in the jaw, and glared hard at the fallen bastard… "Leave, before I hurt you more." …. A dark aura emitted from him. Aomine decided to leave first as he took his ex shadow's hand and dragged him away from that place before anything happens…
"Please slow down!"
He stopped suddenly as he remembered that Tetsu has a very low stamina, he didn't want to let go of his hand, because he doesn't want him to escape like before, his face softened as he looked at kuroko who was panting hard from the fast running…
Kuroko really wanted to escape right now, but he looked at Aomine, he longed to see that smile on his face again, he longed for many things… like how he wished to love Basketball again, he shook his head and tried to turn around to leave quietly, but strong hand grasped his wrist preventing him from leaving.
"Where do you think you are going?... Tetsu." Kuroko yanked his wrist from Aomine's hand, kuroko looked at him with a disappointed eyes.
"I have heard that you lost in a match"
Aomine rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly…. "Well, Kagami entered the zone after he saw how his team needed him, and I was really surprised how strong he was, anyway… Tetsu I want you to be my shadow again."
Kuroko looked at Aomine with stunned eyes…. He wanted him to be his what?
