I do not own Kuroko No Basket.

His pale blue eyes blinked as he woke up in his very own bed, the comfort of his blanket wrapped tight and snug around him. His eyes flickered and glanced about before looking at the clock, it read: 4.50am. "It must have all been just a dream," murmured Kuroko, under his breath. He laid himself back down, eyes staring blankly at the darkness that engulfed his bedroom. 'So nothing happened...' He thought to himself, his eyes shutting as he let sleep take him.

The sun was bright when he woke up the next morning, walking down for breakfast as he yawned. His grandmother stared at him, "How are you feeling, Tetsuya?" She asked her grandson. Her eyes skeptical.

"Good."

"How is Tetsumiya?" She asked lowly.

Kuroko froze. His head snapping to stare at the elderly lady. "Last night... it all happened? So it wasn't a dream..."

'Nope.' A voice echoed inside his mind. 'I'm here.'

Kuroko paused, his head turning to his grandmother. "The Yokai is fine." He told her as she nodded, excusing herself from the breakfast table, ushering for him to follow. The teen stood up as they walked to her room.

"How did you..."

Her eyes widened as his grandmother handed him a box. Kuroko reached out as he slowly took it, opening it to reveal a heart shaped necklace. His eyes widened as Tetsumiya's voice suddenly spiked. 'That's Saaya's!'

"Grandmother..."

Her eyes were sad. "My sister was a reincarnation of his wife," said the elderly lady. "I saw him kill her." She told him, her words making him go cold. She stared at him with aged eyes, her hand reaching out as she placed it on his shoulder. "Tetsuya, make sure you have full control of your abilities, I don't want to see you kill the ones you love."

Kuroko nodded, "Yes."

"Be strong, dear child. It's a great honor but it leaves behind a heavy price."

"I understand, Grandmother." 'Tetsumiya, lets begin training.' Kuroko watched as his grandmother turning, leaving to return to her breakfast.

'I won't be soft, kid,' Tetsumiya replied mockingly.

Kuroko closed his eyes, "That's fine. It'll help my stamina improve at least."

The day Kuroko Tetsuya had met his new neighbour Hotaru Ai, he couldn't have been happier, yet annoyed. Tetsumiya had been quite... A nuisance.

'It's Saaya, it's my beautiful Saaya! How I want to just... Ahhh! The tingling feelings are coming!' Kuroko had never regretted his decision anymore than that, but he had to admit, Ai was a really nice girl. She was the same age as him, but she was homeschooled. Unlike Kuroko who had graduated from Teikou, despite not being present for his graduation due to his admission to a hospital. Tetsumiya had failed to mention that one minute in his subconscious resulted as half an hour in the outside world, his parents had been extremely worried but according to the Yokai, that was the only time I'll happen.

"Tetsu," Kuroko looked up as Ai swallowed her bite of watermelon. They were sitting on the porch outside her house eating watermelons. "Which school will you be applying for?" She asked him, a soft smile on her lips as her left dimple formed. 'So cute...' Both Kuroko and Tetsumiya mutely thought.

"Tetsu?" Ai repeated as she waved a hand in front of his face. There was a brief silence before a black energy engulfed Kuroko's body before hastily hugging Ai. The girl sat stunned with wide grey eyes as her heart began to race at an incredible speed. She was beginning to panic as a white light suddenly engulfed her body too. As Tetsumiya pulled away, he smiled as Saaya smiled back at him. "That was mean of you," She told him.

'Yes, Tetsumiya, that was very rude and mean of you to push me out of my own body.' Kuroko's voice interrupted the yokai's thoughts.

"Sorry, Saaya, I wanted to hug you so much."

The girl giggled softly in response. "We hugged yesterday, Tetsu," She told him, gently resting her head on his shoulder. "We better go before the girl's parents see us," Tetsumiya slightly frowned but complied as they both vanished, leaving both Kuroko and Ai in their places.

Ai blushed as she nervously looked away from Kuroko. The girl was uncomfortable around men most of the time, hence why she preferred to stay at home and be homeschooled but Kuroko was an exception. Yet, physical contact was still beyond her. "I'm sorry," Kuroko said, his gaze focused on her isolated gaze as she reluctantly nodded.

"It's alright," She whispered. Her eyes travelling down to her watermelon.

"Seirin," Ai looked up as Kuroko smiled softly at her. "The school I chose to go to. It's called Seirin." Ai nodded. "According to Tetsumiya, I should look for the other members of his court during this summer." He continued to say.

Ai nodded as Saaya had informed her about Tetsumiya and his yokai court of loyal followers, and also his best friends. "But how do you know if its them?" She wondered.

"Other than similarity in appearance, Tetsumiya should be able to sense them." Ai nodded in empathy.

"Take care then," She told him as she smiled assuringly at her. Kuroko nodded, a small tinge of red on his cheeks.

'Feels...' Tetsumiya murmured.

'Don't you dare.'

Yokai hunting. Kuroko surprisingly enjoyed it, watching the way Tetsumiya moved with ease at lightning speed. Some nights, Kuroko was reluctant to hunt as it was his body that was enduring the sleepless nights but Tetusmiya had forced himself out anyway. Eventually his break came to an end as Kuroko found himself walking through a crowd of students advertising their clubs.

'I sense Hime and Neko,' Tetsumiya informed him. Kuroko paused in his footsteps. 'But I also sense a half-blood.' Half-blood, it was what Tetsumiya had categorised as half-human and half-yokai. They had encountered some. Some knew what they were, others, they didn't know at all and Tetsumiya kept it that way. Yokais seemed to come in many different types, elementals, beautiful ones with god-like appearances or animal features. Others appeared as monsters, but they were mostly good-hearted in Kuroko's opinion.

Kuroko bumped into someone as he took a step back. "My bad, sorry," He said.

"It's alright, Tetsumiya, but I have to say, it's a interesting one you chose." Kuroko's eyes widened slightly as he stared at the girl.

She smirked at him. Borrowing Tetsumiya's eyes, his orbs flashed red as he stared at the girl, her sharp blue grey eyes flashed red for a moment allowing Kuroko to have a glimpse of her yokai form. Black cat eyes, a long tail and claws. 'It's Neko... But why does she look more foreign than usual?' Tetsumiya wondered. The girl had copper coloured hair and pale skin. A mischievous glint gleamed in her eyes as she stuck her tongue out at Kuroko. "Hi, I'm Tessa Abernathy and I'm a foreign exchange student for New York City." She told him in English. Despite not being strong in that subject, Kuroko surprisingly understood her perfectly. It must have been because Tetsumiya understood her.

"Ah, it's nice to meet you too," Kuroko said, suprising himself as his words came out in English. 'You're welcome.' Tetsumiya muttered. "I'm Kuroko Tetsuya."

Tessa nodded as she put her hands into the pocket of her purple hoodie. She wasn't wearing the school uniform at all as she stood in black stiletto heels, boosting her already towering height of 5'9 as she wore tight faded jeans. She was clearly a rebel.

"Well it seems the whole family is here," A voice said as Kuroko and Tessa turned to see a petite girl. Black wisp of hair, and deep midnight blue eyes as she stared at them both with analytical eyes. She gave off and air of authority and power. "Tetsumiya, Rima," She continued to say in English. "As much as I want to say that it's good to see you, I'm not one to lie. I never wanted to see you both ever again." The girl bluntly stated.

"We can see that Nagisa," Tessa replied. "So what's your name?" She asked.

"Suoen Kurohime," The girl, now introduced as Kurohime said. "Future President of the Student Council." She held out two pieces of paper at them. "Here, I expect these forms in by next week." Kuroko hesitantly took the sheet, his eyes reading the contents.

"You want us to join the student council?" Kuroko asked.

Kurohime nodded. "It'll be easier if we controlled our own student lives, not to mention it makes things easier for us to disappear if we sudden sense a rogue Yokai." She explained. "If we run the Student Council, people won't have a say to what we do. Besides, it allows Tetsumiya to complete his job."

Kuroko's eyes stared at the paper. "But don't you have to be extremely smart to be apart of the council?" He asked.

Kurohime chuckled. "Don't worry, I already have that covered." She said, turning as she walked away.

"She still scares me after so many years..." Tessa muttered. "Well not me, Rima." Tessa added.

From afar a petite girl watched the three interact.

"Woah, isn't she beautiful?"

"She's like a doll..."

"I hope she's single."

Student continued to whisper as they stared at the petite girl. Turning on her heel, she held tightly onto the piece of paper in her hands. "Yokai..." She whispered softly. Her honey brown orbs closed. "Interesting..."

'How did it come to this?' Kuroko stared as Kurohime sat casually in her seat. One day. That was how long it took her to convince the Principle to dispose of the old Student Council, and here Kuroko stood as Vice President of Seirin's student council. "Our first order of business to rid our school of ridiculous clubs." Kurohime said, she held out a piece of paper at him. Kuroko took the paper. "This is a list of all the clubs, I want the other council members to run a surprise council check." She told them.

Tessa scowled as she picked up the piece of paper and flipped through the pages. "That's a lot..." She protested, her hands shaking as she stared at the amount of 'clubs' at Seirin. "What the hell is 'Magi Magi Love Club'?" She exclaimed, staring at the amount of ridiculous names on the list.

"The school has a tight budget as a new school, therefore, in order to ensure that not a single penny is wasted, we shall analyse every single club." Stated Kurohime firmly. "The two of you."

Kuroko stared at her blankly, 'The two of us...'

"What the hell? Aren't there any other members of the student council other than us?" Yelled Tessa. "Like the old council."

Kuroko turned to the girl, "Hime deemed them unfit and had them removed from the council, there is only the three of us."

Tessa's head dropped, slamming down on the desk. Her eyes slitted red. "Damn you Hime! You always do this to us!" She shouted at the girl, jabbing a finger at the shorter girl that sat comfortably in her chair as President. "Every single time we're reincarnated, you always pull something like this! I swear, the revolution was bad enough as it was." She threw her hands up into the air.

Kuroko stared blankly, 'Revolution?'

'Lets just say in the past, Rima and Hime often traveled abroad to gather supplies and information for me. Times weren't as advanced as now, and well... Hime may have sparked... The French Revolution.' Tetsumiya answered.

Kuroko sweat dropped, 'I see...so she craves power.'

'All Hime yokai do, she just craves it more than most and succeeds every time she attempts a take over.'

'So she's a dictator...'

'That's the modern and nicer term for it.' Tetsumiya mused.
