"Good Morning everyone, Kuroko Tetsuko nice to meet you" Tetsuko greeted the class with her cold and monotonous voice.
The teal haired girl stared at the gaping faces of her new classmates. She sighed and glanced at her teacher. "That's all." She mumbled.
"Don't be so uptight Kuroko-san. Please tell us a little bit more about yourself." The teacher replied patting the girl on her shoulder.
Tetsuko sighed again. She really don't want to this kind of things at all. Not that she has a problem with people and all, but she just don't want to attract attention to herself. Her teacher is really pissing her off big time.
She then threw a cold glare to her teacher and sneered at him, making Katsunori sweatdrop.
"great, another delinquent." The teacher thought.
"Kuroko Tetsuko. 16, born here in Japan. I like vanilla milkshakes and dogs." She said bluntly.
…
Daiki could not believe who he is seeing right now. He was beyond shocked. He spare his childhood friend a quick glance and saw him gaping a like a big fish.
He slowly inched his way towards Satsu and poked his back. "Satsu, tell me I'm not dreaming." The blunette whispered.
"You're not dreaming Daiki, it's really Tetsu-chan." Satsu replied without removing his eyes from the girl in front of the class.
Daiki fell silent as he return his gaze to the girl. He examined her features carefully and noticed a big change in her appearance.
Daiki remembered Tetsuko with long flowing teal hair that reached until the middle the her back that he loved to touch and smell. But now she has a short hair that only reached down to the nape of her neck.
*click*
Daiki craned his neck to his side only to find satsu taking stolen shots of Tetsuko. "What the hell are you doing Satsu?" the blunette growled as he tried to snatch the phone fron the pink haired boy.
"Shut up Daiki, I'm sending the photo to the others. They need to know that she's back." Satsuki replied dodging the huge hands of Daiki and immediately sent the photo to the other members of 'Kiseki no Sedai'.
Daiki grunted and slumped back down to his seat, but not before noticing the brimming tear that are forming on his friend's eyes.
…
"I graduated from Teiko Middle School. And I wasn't able to attend school on its first 2 months because my family went to the States for personal matters." Tetsuko finished.
The class was buzzing with noise, especially majority of the male population of the class. Tetsuko is indeed a pretty girl, with porcelain pale white skin, a dainty little nose, her petite figure and the matching colors of her hair and eyes.
"She's so pretty. Do you think she already have a boyfriend?"
"God! Thank you for sending an angel unto us!"
"I think I'm in love!"
Tetsuko's eyes narrowed after hearing what the class is gossiping about. But just shrugged it off.
But Daiki was getting annoyed by the second. He wanted to punch every single boy inside the class of course sans him and Satsu.
Tetsuko rolled her eyes and poked her teacher on his side hard. Making the teacher yelp in surprise and pain. "What the heck was that?" he exclaimed.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hit you hard sensei?" tetsuko said sarcastically.
Katsunori only scratched the back of his head and sighed. "Are you done with your introduction Kuroko-san?" he asked
Tetsuko nodded. "Yes, where's my seat?" she asked
Katsunori then pointed at the empty chair in front of a certain blunette. "the vacant seat over there. In front of the boy named Aomine."
Tetsuko nodded turning to her heels and head to her seat immediately meeting the dark blue eyes of Aomine Daiki but quickly closed her eyes and walked silently to her seat.
…
Daiki didn't know what to feel right now. But he can't help feeling that something is definitely wrong with Tetsuko. Not only with the way she look physically but also something inside of her changed, he just can't pin point it.
Daiki sighed, with a small smile in his face as he slump his head back to his desk and stared at the back of the girl he loves.
"I'm glad that you're back." He muttered under his breath.

Shuutoku High
秀徳高校
It was another usual day inside Shuutoku Middle School where Midorima Shintarou and Kise Ryota is studying. Midorima as usual is busy jotting down notes while their class is on-going, while Kise is busy doodling on his notebook.
"Well then that will be all. Be sure to read chapter 12 of Japanese literature okay!" the teacher announced then quickly exited the room.
"Midorimachii! What are you doing?" Kise asked the megane the moment the teacher left glomping the greenette with his arms.
Midorima then shoved the blonde off of him and fixed his glasses. "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see I'm taking down notes? Nanodayo." The grenette replied more like growled.
"Oh… Midorimachii sure is rude-ssu!" the blonde whined.
Then another guy with jet black hair approached the shooting guard and small forward with a goofy grin on his face.
"Yo Shin-chan! Kise-kun!"
Kise then beamed at the newcomer with a smile that pretty much the same as the latter. "Yo Takaochii!"
"Didn't I told you not to call me with that name?" the greenette growled glaring at Takao.
"sheez, ease up Shin-chan. It's only the middle of the day and you're already pissed off as hek!" takao joked.
Midorima narrowed his eyes. "With you two already like that my day is bound to be very annoying." He replied.
Then suddenly both Kise and Misorima's phone went off signalling a new mail just arrived. Kise quickly pulled out his phone and flipped it open. "Oh! It's from Momo..chii" Kise's smile suddenly disappeared. While Midorima stopped writing and stared at the screen of his phone.
"Oi! Are you two alright?" Takao asked waving his hand between Kise's face and his phone.
"Shin-chan?" he asked poking the greenette.
"It's nothing Takao."
The two GoM then looked at each other and nodded. They quickly stood up and excused themselves from the class both racing towards their school's rooftop.
…
"Oh my gosh! It's Tetsuchii! Oh my Gosh! She's back!" Kise exclaimed wiping the tears that are forming in his eyes.
"I can't believe she's back! I'm so happy!" the blonde added hugging his phone close to his chest like it's the most valuable thing in the world.
Midorima on the other hand smiled as he held on to his lucky item for today; a vanilla milkshake. Oha –asa's prediction for his sign did said that someone important from his past will return to them.
"Tsuko…"
"Do you think Akashichii and Murasakibarachii knew about this too?" Kise asked promptly his usual energetic face replaced with a serious one. It's no doubt that whenever the subject to their conversation is a certain teal haired teen anyone in the Generation of Miracles even the apathetic Murasakibara is bound to be serious. Especially this time, they have found her.
Midorima sighed as he pushed his black rimmed glasses up to the bridge of this nose. He nodded his head and started up to the clear sky above. "Don't underestimate Akashi Kise, it might be the last thing you'll do. And yes I think he already know, he is Akashi afterall." the greenette replied.
The two shutoku players stared at each other deep in thought. A small smile gracing both handsome faces as the thought of their princess finally returning to them.
"I can't wait to see Tetsuchii again!"
"Me as well."
…
Rakuzan High
洛山高校
"Nee nee Akachin~ Can I have another choco bar? Pretty please?" Murasakibara Atsushi whined to the redhead captain while his head is propped in the nearby desk just beside Akashi's desk. It was the middle of lunch break and Akashi made sure that everyone is out of the classroom for him and Murasakibara only , he clearly loathe the noise of his surrounding during lunch.
Mismatched eyes met purple ones as the two engage on a staring contest before the latter looked away. "You can't have any more Atsushi. You already ate 5 bars already. Go grabe our lunches first and eat it before I decide of I will give you another one." The redhead replied. And just like loyal dog to its master, Murasakibara abruptly stood up and head towards their classroom to go get their lunches, leaving the redhead who had his attention at a shogi board laid in front of him.
He stopped when he felt a soft vibration from his pocket and pulled his phone from it. Red eyes scanned the message details before he opened it to read.
From: Momoi Satsu
To: Akashi Seijuro
Subj.: We found her
"Akachan! We found her! She's back! She's back! Tetsuko is back!
...
Akashi's eyes widened in disbelief after reading the said message, he shut his phone close and returned it in his pocket before he stood up from his seat.
"Akachin! Akachin! Tsukochin! Tsukochin she's back!" The purplenette yelled as he barged inside the room with two bentos at each hand. The lazy and childish expression his face held was long gone.
"I know. Eat your lunch quickly Atsushi. We're heading to Touou immediately." Akashi commanded, grabbing his own bento from the giant's hand and sat down and began to eat his lunch. A small smile appeared on his lips as he took his every bite. Finally, after so long he will finally see his beloved cousin again. Finally.
"Tetsuko…"
Touou Academy:
桐皇学園高校
The class went on smoothly, and surprisingly Aomine didn't sleep. He was too engrossed at watching Tsuko's back the whole day.
"Okay class that's all for the day. Go do your homework or I will not accept you to class tomorrow. Class dismissed." And with that, the middle aged literature teacher walked out of the room just as the school bell rang signalling that class is indeed over.
Tetsuko sighed as she stood up from her seat. Finally class is over, she was literally ignoring all the lectures since homeroom started. It's not like she have to listen to the teacher's rambling when she already knew all their lessons already. No use of repeating it right? Grabbing her ipod from her bag, she slipped on her headphones and slipped away from the class.
Aomine immediately stood up and extended his hand to grab Tetsuko's shoulder when he bumped his desk and his things fell on the floor. He cussed as he shuffled to get all this scattered things not knowing that the girl already left the class without anyone noticing her.
He gathered his stuff and placed in his bag quickly before looking back at Tetsuko but she was no longer there. "What? Where is she?" he panicked as he immediately scanned the classroom.
"Daiki! Tetsu-chaaaaannnnn!" Satsu called, opening the classroom door with all his might. He's not their classmate in literature so he had to change classroom during the middle of the day.
"Are? Daiki? Where's Tetsu-chan?" the pink haired teen asked tilting his head sideways. He thought that his friend already manage to talk to her since they were classmates for the whole day.
Aomine scratched the back of his head furiously, she just right there in front of him and he just have to lose her. "I lost sight of her! She put on her disappearing act on me again!"
Satsu sighed, face palming himself as he grab Aomine and out to the classroom. "Sheez. I know Tetsu-chan have a very weak presence but to think that you! Of all the people will lose her? Mattaku Daiki!" Satsu nagged as the two of them walked casually along the corridors of touo. "We have to be quick, Akachan already texted me as well as Midorin and Kise-kun that they're already on their way to the usual meeting place."
"Hai Hai! Stop being a nagger Satsu. I can't feel my ears with all that ranting and nagging you are doing!" the ganguro complained as he slung his back over to his shoulder and the two of them exited the school premise. "I guess, we can't bring Tetsu-chan with us today… Akachan will not be thrilled."
"I don't think she will go with us in the first place even if we beg her. There's something off with Tetsu…" Aomine mumbled his eyes fixated on the streets' pavement.
Satsu glanced at his childhood friend and nodded. "Yeah I guess you're right. I know she still hates us."
…
Tetsuko whizzed through the noisy corridors of the school as she head over towards the sports department of her new school, hoping that she could join any club even at this late of the term. Well just as the principal said, she could join any club she wants as long as she gives a letter to the club advisor.
Tetsuko frowned as she looked at the letter folded neatly in her hands. So far she can't seem to decide what sport she wants to join. Touo Gakuen really lived up to their name with all the sports club that school has.
"The Taekwondo team here isn't that bad. But there's the archery club as well." She mumble walking slowly at the side of the school's gym before her stopped.
Loud shouting and squeaking of basketball shoes caught her attention. She furrowed her eyebrows together that the sudden feeling of nostalgia. She shook the thought of and continued to walk away. "Basketball huh? Mmm.. I hate it."
…
"Yo! Aominechii! Momoichii!" Kise waved at the duo who is quietly standing outside the usual convenience store they love to hang out.
"Sit down Kise. You'll fall." Midorima scolded as he pulled the hem of Kise's shirt down next to him. "I wouldn't want to be responsible if you fall out and injured that pretty face of yours."
"Mattaku! You two are so unfair! Kise! We were supposed to switch at that stop light! You two are so heavy!" Takao whined as he struggled to paddle the rickshaw the three of them is riding.
"But Takaochii. We were already close!"
"Stop complaining Takao. It's not us who lost three consecutive time at the jakenpon so stop your whining and paddle." Midorima said, busy filling his nails with a stuff toy squished between his legs.
The three of them stop in front of the store and Midorima and Kise got out. "hey! Don't leave me here!" Takao called out, getting off the rickshaw himself. Kise then immediately stopped the ravenhead. "Don't Takaochii. You can't come with us!"
"Listen to Kise, Takao. This is our business. Outsiders are not allowed especially if it's the business regarding us, the Generation of Miracles."
Takao pursed his lips into a thin line before smiling at the greenette shooting guard. "Well if Shin-chan says so! I'll be going now!"
Midorima nodded while Kise waved.
...
"Oi. What's with the weird ride huh Midorima?" Aomine asked.
"It's none of your concern Ahomine."
"What did you call me? You picking a fight?" Aomine growled, ready to pounce at the greenette anytime if kise and momo isn't holding him back.
"I'm just stating facts here." Midorima curtly replied, a small victorious smirk in his face.
"Everyone." A cold authoritative voice caught the rest's attention. As Akashi and Atsushi made their way to the group. With Akashi wearing his usual apathetic face and Murasakibara munching on some chips.
"Akashi."
"Akashichii"
"Akashi"
"Akachan!"
…
"So Satsu. Mind telling us about the message you sent us earlier today?" Akashi demanded, his mismatched eyes gleaming dangerously at the pink haired boy.
Satsu gulped as he stared back at their former's captain's frightening eyes. He felt that is he didn't answer him the next second, the latter will make definitely have his beloved scissors embedded in his face. "We saw Tetsu-chan earlier today. She was a transfer student to our class." Satsu started, his nervousness forgotten after Akashi's eyes lost its dangerous gleam and is replaced with a warm look on them.
"Did you find out where the heck she disappeared to?" Midorima asked.
"She said that she and her parents went to the states due to personal reasons." Satsu replied.
Akashi knitted his brows together, no wonder they couldn't find them in the country. They already suspected that they were abroad but them leaving without any records under their names is still a mystery. But of course, they are the Kuroko's things like that isn't usual.
"I see. Did you manage to talk to her?" Akashi asked.
Satsu shook his head sideways in response. "Sorry Akachan. I was not their classmate in all our subjects. But Daiki is."
All eyes landed on Aomine. The said bluenette shivered under the intense gazes his former teammates is throwing him. "W-What? I wasn't able to talk to her. She's clearly ignoring me all the time. But earlier I tried to talk to her but she pulled her disappearing act on me." Aomine explained, sighing in relief after the rest of the GoM removed their eyes from him.
…
Tetsuko slowly walked along the now lit streets, feeling the soft cool autumn air. It's been a long time since she last able to walk alone like this without her parent's always nagging her about walking home alone. Good thing she has this special ability to become practically invisible in front of others so she managed to ditch her driver and went on her little excursion.
"What did mom called it again? Mis… Mis…" the teal haired girl mumbled as she pulled her scarf up to her nose. "Ah yes. Misdirection."
She didn't have any destination in mind so she just let her legs carry her to wherever they bring her. Turning to the nearest intersection, she found herself standing in front of a convenience store that looked awfully familiar to her. "A convenience store? Mmm…" she thought, shrugging she walked in the said store not noticing a group of colourful hair at the side of the said store.. "I wonder if I already been here before. It feels really familiar."
…
"As I have been saying! I don't have any idea why she would cut her hair like that!" Aomine grumbled as he glared at Kise who is shoving his phone in front of him demanding answers of why Tetsuko cut her hair short.
"But her hair! Her silky long hair! Why did she have to cut it?" Kise wailed, crocodile tears flowed from his golden orbs.
Midorima sighed as he pulled Kise's collar. "Stop acting like a spoiled brat Kise. If you wanted to know why then, go ask Tsuko herself."
"Muyum~ Midochin is right Kisechin. But *munch* Tsukochin isn't here so you'll just have to ask her when we see her next *munch* time." Murasakibara mumbled between his bites.
Akashi turned to Aomine with a questioning look. "Hey don't look at me like that! I wanted to bring her here. But she will definitely refuse me and satsu even if we beg." Aomine replied.
Momoi Satsu feeling the tense atmosphere between the team, immediately chirped and suggest that they all go buy some popsicle and continue to talk then. Which all agreed to do so.
The 6 of them walked towards the entrance of the store just as the same time Tetsuko is exiting. The door opened and the Kiseki no Sedai's colourful eyes met Tetsuko's emotionless cerulean ones. The guys were frozen at their spot while the other went pass them as if she saw nothing.
"They look familiar…" She thought, fishing a vanilla flavoured popsicle from the store bag, peeling the wrapping off and put it inside her mouth.
Akashi was the first one who recovered from their stupor and immediately went to Tetsuko. Grabbing her arm and pulling her to a stop. The girl was shaken that she accidentally let go of her popsicle before being pulled back by a strong hand.
Tetsuko's eyes meets Akashi's mismatched ones, before she started to squirm away from the redhead's vice like grip.
"Tetsuko."
Tetsuko abruptly stopped from her struggle and looked back at the redhead with a confused look on her face.
"Who are you?"
