~Chapter one : Frozen~

Only one more shot.

One more shot and Seirin could win. Seirin could be Japan number one basketball team. The score difference is only one point, in Rakuzan's favour. Another 30 seconds before the game will be over, but it's enough time for Seirin to make a comeback.

Hyuuga pass the ball to Izuki, who immediately pass to Kuroko, seeing that Kagami is being guarded by Akashi and Nebuya. Kuroko immediately uses his vanishing drive and take a stance to shoot his phantom shoot, but his body froze.

Kuroko's POV

'What can I do after I win?

'The winning shoot is going to be made by me! Everyone is counting on it!'

'This is my only chance to make Seirin become number one'

'The clock is still ticking! I cannot stop!'

'Move body! This is their hope!'

'But what will happen to him?'

'What is going to happen to Akashi-kun if I win?'

'Will he be able to accept it?'

'Will he be able to look at me again?'

'Akashi-kun...'

Immediately the sound of a buzzer enters my ear, releasing me from my frozen state. As I am looking around, I know. Seirin just lost to Rakuzan because of me. From the court, I could see coach crying and Kagami-kun looking a mixture of surprise, sadness, anger and other emotions I cannot describe. But it's not just Kagami-kun, all of the Seirin team members looked that way. But why is it? Why can't I feel sad? Why do I feel relief?

"All teams please gather!" The referee shouts out

Calmness before storm

Normal POV

"Thank you for the match!"

Kuroko and the rest of Seirin returned to their room with frowns plastered all over their faces. After they arrived Kagami pushed Kuroko to the wall.

"Oy Kuroko! Why didn't you shoot!? It was our only chance!" Kagami shouted.

"I...I don't know. My body just froze." Kuroko said, looking sideways at the bench.

"Kagami-kun stop it! It's alright. We just need to give it back to them next year. It might be because we gave our last shot to Kuroko-kun, who is used to being invisible was suddenly in the spotlight with that last shot." Riko said while releasing Kuroko from Kagami's angry grip.

"Yep...Don't mind, Kuroko" Hyuuga said while poking Kuroko's shoulder

"Now, we cannot stay here forever! Let's move everyone!" Riko shouted and started to pack her things, followed by everyone else in the room and went out, leaving Kuroko alone in the room.

Kuroko just slid down the wall and thought about the match. Kuroko was in daze for about 10 minutes, until the door opened, revealing Kise, Aomine, Midorima, Murasakibara, and Akashi. All the generation of miracles was there, standing in the doorway.

"Kurokocchi!" Kise shouted happily and attacked the boy who was sitting on the floor with a bear hug.

"Ki...Kise-kun...I...I can't..."Kuroko managed to say.

"Ryouta, Let him go." Akashi commanded and Kise immediately released Kuroko

"Tetsuya...Come with us for a dinner" Akashi said (Okay, I think everybody knows but he is commanding)

Kuroko thought about refusing and catching up with his team, but decided against it. The way they left Kuroko by himself, made the young shadow unwilling to go after them.

"Okay..." Kuroko agreed, unable to turn down his former captain. "But why is it just the Generation of Miracles? Are you not inviting your other teammates?" Kuroko asked practically to all of them.

"Well...Akashicchi told us to have dinner together. And well...It's been a long time since our last dinner together, hasn't it?" Kise answered

"It's the same with me."Aomine said lazily

"Aka-chin said that there will be food, so I came..." Murasakibara answer while eating some potato chips

"Akashi asked me, and I couldn't say no. I...It's not like that I want to have dinner with Generation of Miracles or anything, though." Midorima said while straighten his glasses

"Oh...then, let's go." Kuroko quickly said as he got up from his sitting position and grabbed his bag. Kuroko followed Akashi and Midorima. Following Kuroko was Kise, Aomine, and Murasakibara.

They went to the nearest restaurant, which was an oriental-styled restaurant. They immediately sat down and ordered some food. They just talked with each other, catching up about each other's new school and life. That was, until Aomine and Kise started a ruckus in the restaurant, causing them to be kicked out. Immediately all the Generation of Miracles paid for their food and went outside, where they saw that Kise and Aomine were still bickering.

"Aominecchi! It's because of you we got kicked out!" Kise said while pouting.

"Hah? The hell I know 'bout it. And you're the one who started the argument, Kise!"Aomine shot back.

"But you're the one who kept on denying it! You should just be honest and say that I'm already on the same level as you!" Kise demanded.

"No way..."Aomine said lazily.

"Aomine-kun, Kise-kun, please stop. You're noisy." Kuroko said bluntly.

"That's right, Kise, Aomine. Today Gemini's and Virgo's have a worst compatibility so it's better to stay away from each other." Midorima said.

"Enough Daiki, Ryouta. Let's go." Akashi said while he started to walk away, followed by everyone else.

They just strolled down the street, until they arrived at a park. Everyone took a seat except for Kise, Aomine, and Murasakibara, who said that they wanted to go to a convenience store to buy some drinks (and snacks, for Murasakibara). Akashi and Midorima just conversed. Kuroko would say one or two words, but nothing much. Suddenly they heard a voice, Kagami's voice, to be exact

"Shit! He ruined it for us all! Our chance to win was right before our eyes and he crushed it because of some damn thing called 'freezing'!" Kagami's voice could be heard, but the person could not be seen. Kagami just, by coincidence walked past that park.

"Well...It's really true that Kuroko-kun's reason cannot be accepted. Since it was your last competition..." This time, it was Riko's voice which could be heard. Her voice was laced with disappointment.

"Well...Isn't it alright? Kuroko-kun..." Teppei's voice could be heard but the rest was a blur because they were walking away. Kuroko looked really sad, while Akashi and Midorima looked angry enough to get up and confront the Seirin group, but they were stopped by Kuroko.

"It's alright, Midorima-kun, Akashi-kun. They're right."Kuroko said meekly.

"Tetsuya, they're saying harsh thing about you." Akashi informed him somewhat impatiently.

"It's true." Midorima added.

"It's alright. We just have to win in the next competition." Kuroko said while smiling a strained smile.

"But Rakuzan won't let you." Akashi said while smiling a genuine smile.

"And Shutoku will not lose again." Midorima said, also smiling while he straightened his glasses.

"Yes, it would be a problem if you guys go easy on us." Kuroko said. Not too long after that, Akashi pointed out that it was getting late and that they had to go home. Dismissing them, all of Generation of Miracles left towards their own respective houses.

Who is going to erase the sin's evidence?
