Summary: Kuroko Tetsuki had transferred to Teikou Academy through her talent for art and singing. She met her childhood friend and other friends, and got them interested in her somehow. But unknown to her, she was interested in two particular boys... AU. Various Pairings?
A/N: Italic singing is Takao and Kuroko. Bold singing is Midorima and Himuro. Respectively.
Chapter 3 - It's Tatsuya!
"... Why did I..." Kuroko asked herself, hiding the blush. She walked hurriedly through the huge corridor of the practice rooms.
"Shin-chan! Be careful!" Someone said as Kuroko bumped into the person.
Kuroko was too deep in thought so she didn't realized someone was walking towards her.
"I'm sorry..." Kuroko apologized to the raven head and green head, who both fell down.
"Takao! Why did you push-What..?" The green head gasped at Kuroko's 'sudden appearance'.
"I'm sorry, Tsuki-chan!" The raven head, revealed as Takao, apologized.
"He notices me fast..." Kuroko thought in amazement.
"How-" "Ah. You are the new student." The green head interrupted Kuroko.
"You are?" Kuroko asked.
"I'm Midorima Shintarou. It's a pleasure to meet you." The green head, revealed as Midorima Shintarou, introduced.
"And I'm Takao Kazunari~" Takao introduced.
"Kuroko Tetsuki." Kuroko deadpanned as she stared into Takao's eyes.
"... His eyes... Those silvery blue orbs..." Kuroko paused in thought.
"Beautiful..." She continued loudly, making them staring at her.
"Ah. I know!~" Takao suddenly beamed. "Tsuki-chan can be our audience!" He suggested to Midorima.
"Well... I guess she could..." Miodirma said, staring at the girl.
"Practicing?" Kuroko asked. They nodded as they led her into one of the empty practice rooms.
"So what will you be singing?" Kuroko asked.
"The one you written..." Midorima suggested.
"Of course!" Takao said smiling. "Lucky! I did bring the disc!" He passed Kuroko a disc written with 'Ashita e Tsurete'.
Kuroko nodded and played the disc. As soon as the music started, they started singing.
With slacked shoulders, your back is soaked.
Cold drops conceal your tears.
But somewhere there was a sign of arrogance, right?
In the end, we could not take that step towards victory.
The rain has come. This team has just begun.
Today's pain and regret, lead us to tomorrow.
With a genuine desire to win,
Let's look ahead and take a step. There's nothing to fear, right?
I believe that we
Can still become stronger.
"Takao-kun... Takao-kun's voice..." Kuroko thought, pausing. "Is awesome..!" Kuroko remained unmoved on the outside. "Midorima-kun's voice is deep... They matched!"
Rather than wishing, by reliable means,
We'll work hard to seize it.
There's no shortcut. All our effort will turn into trust.
Yes, we can say that today's loss was not in vain.
From here on we rely on no one but ourselves.
One-by-one we'll leave our bitterness behind in our hearts.
And then next spring
As always, we'll come back.
Today's pain and regret, lead us to tomorrow.
With a genuine desire to win,
Let's look ahead and take a step. There's nothing to fear, right?
I believe that we
Can still become stronger.
They stopped singing and let the tune finished.
"That was... Amazing!" Kuroko said, eyes slightly shining.
"Really?~" Takao wanted a confirm. Kuroko nodded her head.
"Thank you..." Midorima said, trying very hard not to blush but failed.
"Your welcome. I have to take leave now." Kuroko said, exiting the room. The two guys stared.
"Oh my god! She's definitely a beauty!" Takao exclaimed.
"I don't deny that..." Midorima slightly stuttered, blushing even harder.
"I wonder where's this..." Kuroko sighed, walking in the middle of a bridge that connects two buildings.
I reached out my hands into the pure white, accumulating light like in my memories from that day
So that I don't lose them, I send my feelings, entrusted to words, to you
Illuminated by moonlight, pieces of dreams dance in the night
I even remember the warmth from when you snuggled up to me while shivering
The future opens its doors
Because the stories reflected deep in your eyes
Overcome many tears and show a new scenery again
Even if you lose sight of tomorrow and your heart is stolen away by the changing seasons
I kept chasing after the pure white, accumulating light like in my memories from that day
So that they don't break, I send my feelings, hidden in my heart, to you
Kuroko looked down from the bridge upon hearing the familiar voice and song. Spotting the young man with raven hair and orbs sitting on the bench in the garden, realizing his identity, "Tatsuya!" She called out, smiling. The ravenette stopped, stared, smiled and nodded before continuing to sing.
I gathered the pieces of dreams that studded the distant past
Into my palms and offer them up as words no matter how many times it takes
Even if you turn your back on tomorrow, the changing seasons will dye that sky
The pure white, accumulating light showed tomorrow like in my memories from that day
So that I don't leave them, I send my feelings, hidden in tears, to you
"Is that Tetsuki's voice?" Akashi asked, as he closes in to the bridge. Indeed it is, singing with a familiar voice.
"It is, then who-" "Tatsuya..." Akashi narrowed his eyes dangerously, shutting Kise up, warning Aomine not to talk.
Like two overlapped shadows calling for each other
I reel in the thread of being fated to never end
Hearing the sound of the bell, I gripped your hand like in my memories from that day
Within the time that ticked away, I send my feelings, sprouting so small, to you
The light accumulating forever held you like in my memories from that day
So that I don't forget them, I send my feelings, drawn in the future, to you
I send my feelings to you
"Tatsuya!" Kuroko called out.
"Tetsuki!" The ravenette, revealed as Himuro Tatsuya, shouted back, rushing in the building.
Kuroko faced the opposite direction of Akashi and the others and to the direction of the building that Himuro entered, waiting eagerly. As soon as Himuro walked out of the darkness at the end of the bridge, Kuroko ran forward and hugged him.
"Tatsuya! It's been a while!" Kuroko said, voice trembling. Himuro stroke her hair, chuckling.
"Yes. It has been a while." Himuro said.
"Why are you here?" Himuro asked, pushing Kuroko away from his chest so that he could see her face.
"I transferred on my father's request..." Kuroko explained further.
"Uncle Hiro? Why-" "I don't know..." Kuroko deadpanned, interrupting Himuro.
"Anyway, Akashi-kun and company stoping glaring from a far..." Himuro sweat-dropped. Akashi, Kise and Aomine had been glaring ever since Kuroko hugged Himuro.
"Tatsuya, long time no see." Akashi said as he and the duo walked out of the shadows.
"You guys know each other?" Kuroko asked. Akashi and Himuro nodded.
"Ah! It's Murocchi!" Kise narrowed his eyes before shouting.
"Kise looks as good as I last seen him..." Himuro chuckled.
"What are you guys' relationship?!" Aomine asked rudely, making Himuro narrowed his eyes.
Me: How's this? Review please! ;) [Ashita e Tsurete - Mido & Taka Duet, Hikari no Kioku - Angelo]
