"You can never really understand a person until consider things from his point of view-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." -Harper Lee To Kill A Mocking Bird
Chapter 1
Aomine Daiki, for once, decided to attend basketball practice. in the 5 months since school started he had only shown up twice, the first being dragged, the second wanting to show off. Yet the reason this time was he felt as if something good would happen. There were only two thoughts in his head that would make him feel this way. Either someone would finally be able to defeat him in a one-on-one match, or Kuroko Tetsumi had finally reappeared. He pushed the first one away knowing no one outside the GoM could defeat him, and the later having lost hope in it.
He reached the door only to find Satsuki, his childhood friend, standing there about to open it.
"Yo, Satuki. Cleaning duties ran late today?" He said his trademark smirk on his face and Satsuki jumped in surprise.
"Mou, Dai-chan, don't scare me like that," Satsuki said with a pout.
"Yeah, because you weren't there, I had to do everything by my self." She pouted again "Have you come back to your senses and decided to start coming to practice?" She said looking at him hopefully.
When Tetsumi, his shadow, his partner, disappeared, Dai-chan changed. He started thinking that no one can beat him but himself, and he never attended practice anymore. She desperately hoped a miracle would shine on him. And soon she realized that the only miracle that could help him, was no where to be found and almost gave up. Until that day,that her prayer was answered.
They walked into the gym only to surprise the Töö basketball team. Aomine
Daiki had actually come to practice and not being dragged by Momoi Satsuki, their manager. What happened. They arrived right when the coach, Harasawa, was going to introduce a new member to them.
"Guys today we will be getting a new member," their coach, Harasawa Katsunori said "She was do to come to this school and be a regular on the team when school started but do to some family issues she had to move away, but in case she came back, we kept her application into the school and a spot on the team open for her." 'and former vice captain of a certain ace' but kept that to himself.
"Where is she, coach?" Imayoshi Shoichi, the captain asked. Looking around, not seeing anyone.
For a moment everyone thought they saw Satsuki's smile disappear and Aomine lose the cool air around him and look forlornly in thought. They both thought of Tetsumi and her forever disappearing presence.
Everyone turned around and looked away from them, to look at the coach only to be surprised by long teal hair tied in to a ponytail her fringes to the side of her face. Sky blue eyes that seemed to bore into you yet showed no expression what-so-ever. She had an hourglass figure that put Satuki to shame.
"Ano, My name is Kuroko Tetsumi. Please take care of me from now on." She said as she scanned over the crowd of blushing boys that turned redder than a tomato when they saw her beam a smile at their shocked ace and sobbing manager.
"Te-Tetsu?" Aomine said unbelievably shocked.
"Tetsu-chan?" sobbed Momoi.
