A/N: Hi guys long time no see . I do apologize that , I haven't been writing for a bit but I was on vacation . And I had for a bit lost inspiration in my writings , so my sincerest apologies . I was having a very hard start of my school year . With so many papers and getting terribly I'll and funerals to attend . But I'm back in action and writing again. Although school is about to start up again.
But that doesn't matter because this year for my new years resolution , I decided to focus on my writing . Which means I've taken the liberty to update once a week for most of my stories . And use the weekends I have for the others ! So I should be updating this story either on the weekend or weekday . Haven't decided yet.
But anyway on with the story !
Ah ! Before I forget , thankyou very much for all the reviews , favorites , follows , etc. You've know idea how much they've made me happy . Thankyou for making my day with your wonderful comments.

-( kuroko monologue )-
I had always been a shadow for as long as I could remember . I lived for the dark , because that was the only time anyone seemed to notice me.
Not that it bothered me in the first place , I was too used to not being seen by anyone. Including those who had once claimed themselves to be parents of me . I was always on my own never minding others as they pushed through me or how they screamed when they noticed I was there.
No , because I was always a phantom in the wind . But also because I was an odd child . One who was shunned by everything , and everyone. Constanty moving from place to place because of my ' odd ' abilities.
It terrified people , and so I was always scolded when I made contact with others . Always told that I was not to be seen , and nor was I to be heard . Only fade away into the background and watch .
And so I did as I was told . It from kindergarden and up to my first year in middle school. The year when everything changed , when many things started to change in Japan .
-(kuroko pov)-
Many gangs were starting to form at the time . Leading to many deaths , including his own parents deaths just months ago. while many may think that may affect most kids , especially one as young as he .
But for Kuroko Tetsuya , that was anything but the case . He wasn't sad nor was he happy . He was... Blank , just as he was taught to be by his cruel parents . To be nothing other than a shadow in the background , that was the lesson carved into him by his parents .
Such abuse certainly affected him, even though his parents weren't there to hit him if he disobeyed by making contact with others it didn't matter . He couldn't talk to anyone any how , after all he was practically invisible .
Teachers didn't even notice him , he always had to stand up to let them know he really was there. And the screams he got one people finally saw him , were for lack of a better word bothersome .
He was never social , because it pleased his parents to stay in the background . So he did, he didn't want to be anymore shunned in society than he already was.
But one day during gym class he noticed that many were talking about the so called up and rising new gang of Teiko . While had heard about a gang from Teiko had already been formed , he hadn't heard about this news before .
But to him it was uninteresting , so he resumed to dribbling a basketball quietly by himself in the corner of the gym . That was until a dark haired boy with tan skin came over .
" Hey you ! " a deep voice said rudely.
He looked towards the owner of the voice then froze. This person had actually seen him. And not only that , but hadn't even screamed when he'd been noticed. It was certainly a surprise , it wasn't everyday he was noticed .
" Yes ? " he asked quietly.
The boy grinned at him , and leaned in to stand close to him . And slowly whispered in his ear . " I know what you are ."
At this his dribbling stopped and his control slipped , the ball in his hand popped . His shadow had formed on his palms as a form of protection. And had startled the boy who stood in from of him. Effectively making the other back away with hands held in a submissive jesture.
" Hey ,now I mean no harm. I just wanted to see if what Akashi said was true. " the boy reasoned with him.
Now he was officially frightened, not only had one person figured out his secret , but another had as well. He no longer felt he could keep his calm. He backed away and let the dead basketball drop from his hands . He let his baby blue bangs hide his eyes , his expression was surely grimm.
He felt those dark sapphire eyes watch his every move . And then he felt others eyes watching as well. And then a whirlwind of whispers occurred . Asking what had happened , who was he , what was Aoimine doing ?
Aoimine , so that was his name . He looked back at the newly dubbed stranger with hard eyes , and spoke as calmly as he could with a neutral toneless voice.
" If you know what I can do , then please stay away from me . I do not wish to cause trouble Aoimine-kun . "
Aoimine seemed to be taken aback , not expecting his small voice to say something so strong willed. But it didn't matter as soon as he said what needed to be said , he walked away and didn't look back .
Although he heard the stunned boy calling after him , he refused to do anything about it , so instead he increased his pace and ignored the other.
But then a wave of pressure crashed down on him. It was intense as if he was being crushed . It stopped him in his tracks , although hill others seemed not to be affected while he solely was.
He turned around , to look for the source of the pressure . And stopped when he spotted a pair of Heterochamatic eyes watching him . He wanted to look away but felt compelled to keep looking as if he was never supposed to look away .
Then he noticed three others watching him as well. A boy with green hair , one with purple and of course Aoimine-kun. they looked at him with pure curiosity , just waiting to see what he'd do.
But he wouldn't entertain them , no he was a freakshow for others to watch . So instead he used a piece of his shadows to turn the lights off. When It became dark and he could no longer see those haunting eyes he made his escape. He made his way to the doors , his shadows leading him . Leaving behind the four and other gym mates as they gasped and some even screamed in shock and surprise.
He then looked back at the gym room before quietly telling his shadow to turn the lights back on . And then just as quietly made his retreat down the hall , and to the sick room .
After scaring the nurse half to death , muttering small apologies to her .
And then telling her he had of a small headache , asked if he could lie down for a while. And layed low for the rest of gym class.
Thirty minutes later after the bell had rung signifying the switching of class periods . Prayed that he'd be able to get to class without problems . And he did , until he walked in and noticed two of the four he saw earlier watching him in gym .
My oh my now who could those two be ? ;) haha I hoped you enjoyed the new chapter the next should be up next week .
And now I'm off to sleep goodnight my beautiful readers , please remember to comment , review or do what ever it is you ! Till next time ~
