Chapter 1

"Bye Kuroko," Kagami Taiga yelled as he went the other way. "See you tomorrow!"

The blue haired boy nodded back in reply and walked back to his home. Practice today was as tiring as usual and rather normal for once because the past few days were spent with the Seirin Team's training being interrupted by some of the old members of the Generation of Miracles (specifically Kise) coming into the Gym to talk with him.

"Kurokocchi, let's go out and get some Vanilla milkshakes! My treat." Kise smiled charmingly as he casually entered the gym with a group of squealing fan girls following him. The group filled nearly half of the gym.

Kuroko blankly looked up at the blonde. "How about later Kise-kun, I'm currently in the middle of training."

"You heard what he said so," Riko drawled, threateningly. "OUT!" She kicked him so hard that he literally flew out of the gym screaming, "So mean!"

''It was a good thing he went out through the door instead of a wall.'' Kuroko said quietly, watching the blonde fly away passively while his fan girls ran after their handsome idol.

At the start, they thought that the basketball playing model would just come in and out only occasionally to see Kuroko. But unfortunately for them, they were very wrong.

He came to visit every single day with a crowd of screaming hormonal teens following him. Had it just been him that would come to their gym maybe they wouldn't have made such a big fuss about it but it wasn't so it made things aggravating.

And the coach vented out her irritation at Kuroko for it.

Yesterday, Kuroko had spoken to Kise about it and managed to convince him to stop visiting for a while or at least visit at a later time.

Though all of Seirin thought that Kise-kun was irritating, Kuroko appreciated the blonde for coming to visit him every day. They rarely ever see each other since their schools were on different districts and the copy cat basketball player was taking the time to come and see him. It made the stoic phantom feel happy inside.

"Okaa-san, Otou-san, I'm back." Kuroko greeted in his usual monotone voice as he entered the house. He put down his stuff in the living room and walked to the kitchen only to be greeted not by his parents but by a note.

The blue haired boy opened the piece of paper carefully and read it.

Your father and I will be gone for a week.

There is food in the microwave and we left money for you. Have a good week.

-Mother

Kuroko sighed and put the note down. His parents were on one of their business trips and he had the house to himself yet again. Sure, the blue haired boy got used to being left alone for long periods of time. That's how he became independent. Yet, there were times that he would long for the attention of his parents.

But then again, they never did notice him even if they were in the same room with him.

Kuroko walked up the stairs into his room, grabbed some clean clothes and a towel then headed to the bathroom to take a good long shower. He didn't feel like eating (though if any of his teammates heard him, they would've shoved some food into his mouth already) so after cleaning himself up and drying his messy blue hair, he immediately fell into the soft sanctuary of his bed.

Not knowing that things were going to be a whole lot different the next day.

For some odd reason, Kuroko felt like he had been sleeping in a whirlpool while sleeping when he woke up. His hair also looked like it had gone through a strong wind of some sorts though it always did tend to look like that after he wakes up.

As his sky blue eyes opened, Kuroko wanted to check the time. Looking to his left, he couldn't see a clock or the drawer he placed there for him to easily find out the time. Shaking his head, he got up sluggishly and dragged his feet around to look for his alarm clock.

Strangely enough, it was on his study table. Kuroko pondered on how it got there but chose to think about it later (it was too early in the morning to think about such trivial matters) and looked at the time instead.

5:30 am

He usually woke up earlier than that ever since he got into Seirin High but his body probably needed the rest after the training yesterday so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Stretching his arms, Kuroko noticed that his room looked different but he took no notice of it. He was probably just imagining it anyway.

But after a few minutes of searching for things that weren't in the places he knew he had put them yesterday and finally shaking off the feeling of drowsiness, his eyes widened in surprise.

His room looked suspiciously like what it did when he was 13. The books were arranged differently, his bed sheets were different from the ones he used yesterday, he couldn't find his Seirin uniform but he did find newly bought Teikou uniforms.

"What on earth…" Kuroko murmured in disbelief, running his fingers through his bed hair. A very ridiculous theory came into his mind at that moment. He didn't want to believe it but it seemed to be the only idea that he had that explained why he was in this predicament.

He, Kuroko Tetsuya, went back in time to his first day at Teiko Middle school.

'No that couldn't be it.' Kuroko thought, mentally smacking himself at even considering the ridiculous idea. This could be just some vividly realistic dream that his mind came up with or a joke that his friends came up with to mess with him.

Taking a deep breath in an attempt to calm himself, Kuroko took his Teikou uniform and took a quick bath before changing into it. He was so engrossed in his thoughts about that situation that he didn't notice that it wasn't Winter anymore. The cherry blossoms were blooming, signalling the coming of term but due to the circumstances, he wasn't observant to all things.

But he knew, something peculiar was going on and he was going to find out what it was.

While observing his surroundings as he went to the direction of the kitchen, Kuroko noticed a lot of differences. The picture frames and the placement of the lamps, couches and tables were not in the same arrangement. He wasn't used to it so he would occasionally bump into some of the furniture.

After taking in the several changes in his house, Kuroko looked at himself closely. One of the most obvious distinctions about himself that differed from what he was used to was his height. Kuroko was a lot shorter which irked him. He knew he was more petite than most boys his age but now he was even shorter.

Finally reaching the kitchen, he saw some unwashed dishes on the sink and newspapers on the table signifying that his parents had woken up a lot earlier than he did and already left for work.

Kuroko took the newspapers and looked at the date. April 1

Then suddenly Kuroko remembered what day it was today. The first day of school for Teikou Middle School. He could recall more or less what had happened that day.

It was that day where he first saw the future members of the Generation of Miracles. They were all in the same class but they didn't initially talk to each other unless necessary before they all joined the basketball club. He also remembered that he wouldn't be seeing his parents until after school where they would greet him then continue whatever it was they were doing.

Kuroko's lips formed a small smile. He had the chance to change things! Kuroko could keep his soon to be teammates from becoming what they did in the future, he could possibly stop Kiyoshi-sempai from experiencing that accident on his knee, he could bring Kise to the team earlier than expected to avoid that fight with Haisaki and a lot more things.

A few tears fell from his eyes while thinking of all the painful moments he could keep from happening; he was acting completely out of character due all the overwhelming emotions taking over. Puberty...he would have to go through that again but it was certainly worth it...

Changing the future…

After relaxing and thinking of what he should do for the day, he ate some toast and washed the dishes before gathering his stuff for school. It was only 6:30 in the morning and he knew classes would start at 7:30. There was also that welcoming ceremony for the new first years 10 minutes earlier but Kuroko wanted to meet his old….. Well soon to be new friends.

Kuroko couldn't help but smile.

Due to habit he called out for Tetsuya #2 to come and eat for a while before realizing that he wouldn't meet the dog until his 1st year in high school. Kuroko will really miss #2.

Grabbing his bag, Kuroko stepped out of his house and looked at his surroundings as though it was the first time he ever saw them. He was 3-4 years into the past and he was certainly not going to screw it. Well, at least he hoped he didn't.

There weren't many differences. The houses, streets, names of streets and many others were still the same so the bluenette was sure he would find his way around easily.

Kuroko walked for around 15 minutes before finally reaching Teiko Middle School. There were a lot of students chatting excitedly amongst themselves, most of them looked older. He walked through the entrance unnoticed and went to the board where the sections of the new students were posted. Had some of the teachers had seen him they might've asked how he knew where the sections were posted but they didn't.

Kuroko remembered that it took him quite a while for him to find the board before. He was almost late for the Welcoming Ceremony back then.

As he correctly recalled, he was in class 1-B with the rest of the Generation of Miracles. The classroom was on the 1st floor but he wasn't supposed to know that yet.

"Oh, there's the board!" Someone said in relief. "I thought we would never find it! Thank god we asked one of the upperclassmen."

"Hey Dai-chan, do you think we'll be classmates?" A familiar feminine voice asked.

'Satsuki Momoi.' Kuroko thought fondly when he saw the pink haired female.

"Of course we'll be, Satsuki!" Aomine answered with utmost confidence like there was no way he and his childhood friend would be separated. "There's no doubt about it."

Kuroko moved away from the board and 'disappeared' from the view of the two friends. He watched as Aomine pointed out both their names from the list of students under 1-B.

"See, I told you!" Momoi smiled at Aomine.

"I shouldn't have doubted you." As the two walked away Kuroko let out the breath he hadn't known he was holding.

'It's nice to see them again.' Kuroko thought with a serene expression on his face. 'Though I met them just yesterday morning, it feels a whole lot different now.'

Deep in thought, the bluenette walked to the Podium where the Welcoming Ceremony was going to be held.

"I welcome all of you new students to Teikou Middle School," The Principal said with pride and arrogance. "Here in Teikou Middle School your academic and extra-curricular talents will be enhanced to bring honor to the school…" Kuroko blocked out the rest of the speech from his mind. Having heard it once before is enough for him.

"…..winning is everything and loss is not accepted….." Kuroko flinched slightly as he heard those words again. For some reason that phrase seemed to always sneak into his mind. Before, he should've known better than to believe that philosophy but what's done is done.

And will be redone differently this time around.

"….Once again, welcome to Teikou Middle School." The new students and the teachers applauded the Principal before gathering together and being sent to the classrooms. Kuroko chose to stay in the back to avoid being accidentally hit by other since they didn't notice him.

"I can't wait to join the Culinary Arts club!" A girl in the front whispered excitedly.

"Really? Well I'd like to join the Soccer club." Someone else replied.

"The Arts Club seems to interesting to me." A boy stated.

"Nah- better be in the Basketball club." A boy yelled out carelessly. 'Aomine' Kuroko thought. He knew that the dark boy had been playing basketball for a long time and enjoyed it greatly.

'Even if things changed in 2nd year and 3rd year, I'll make sure that won't happen again.' Kuroko vowed to himself.

The 1st year students continued to talk about school clubs, lessons and other things as they were lead to their classrooms. Kuroko followed the teacher who he recognized as the homeroom teacher of 1-B.

After a few minutes, all the students were settled in their classrooms. In the classroom of 1-B, Kuroko chose to sit at the far back corner to avoid attention but he knew that even if he sat in front, the teachers wouldn't notice him at all.

He looked around and saw Midorima who was sitting towards the front with a baseball in his bandaged left hand. It was probably the lucky item of the day for Cancers. Aomine and Momoi were sitting beside each other near the windows; Kise was also near the front but slightly farther from Midorima and was currently chatting with one of his peers; Murasakibara was sitting at the back looking bored and uninterested while eating candies and Akashi was sitting…

"Good morning," A smooth voice greeted eloquently from beside him. Kuroko blinked owlishly for a moment before snapping his head to the direction from where the voice came from. Though his face was stoic right now, his emotions were quite the opposite when he saw who his seatmate was.

Beside him was Akashi Seijuro the future captain of the Generation of Miracles. He looked the same as Kuroko remembered him to be when they were in middle school. Akashi's bangs were longer, both his eyes were still crimson and –

He was about an inch and a half taller than him.

"Hello." Kuroko replied back in monotone, gazing at his captain's calculating eyes. Out of all the members in GoM, Akashi was the most ruthless and manipulative of them all. Kuroko couldn't describe Akashi as evil at all since he was only 12 and even in the future, he could not consider the red head as that but he is rather (for lack of a better word to define him) extreme in some cases.

But Akashi can be a very nice person when he wants to be.

Suddenly, the red head smiled slightly. "My name is Akashi Seijuro, may I ask for yours?"

"Hai. I am Kuroko Tetsuya." Kuroko said to his classmate. How strange. The very first time he had talked to the red head was in the gym after Aomine had convinced him to not quit the team. How come he was talking to him now?

Akashi looked like he was about to say something but was interrupted by the teacher in front.

"Good Morning students. My name is Kimiwari Luka and I will be your homeroom and mathematics teacher from this day until the end of the year." The stern looking teacher said strictly. "I do not tolerate tardiness, late submission of projects, laziness or undisciplined acts in or out of the classroom. I will properly punish anyone who opposes my rules is that understood?"

All the students nodded.

"Hn, good." Kimiwari sensei approved. "Remember this students, winning is everything and losses will not be tolerated so I expect all of you to aim for the best and nothing less."

As Kimiwari sensei discussed the rules and regulations of the school Kuroko felt someone gazing at him and he already knew who it was without having to look.

For whatever reason there is to be, Akashi looked interested in him which surprised him. Did he unknowingly change something already? He better be more careful...

"…..And I suggest you all to join the Math Club, you will certainly increase your ability in the subject matter if you do…." Kuroko tried to ignore the stare of Akashi and chose to actually listen to the strict teacher's voice.

"Remember, your seating arrangement now is permanent and won't be changed until next school year." Kuroko felt his eye twitch as he heard those words. How come he didn't remember that? "But I have the privilege to move you to a different seat if necessary."

"Now here are your schedules." She lifted the hand that was holding the sheets of paper. "When I call your name please come in front and get your schedule."

The teacher called out names stiffly one after the other and it wasn't in alphabetical order so some students would take a peek at the schedules of those who already had theirs.

"We have Social Studies first thing in the morning?" someone complained loudly.

"Seems that we've got 2 periods of P.E on Mondays and Tuesdays."

"Look, we've got official club meetings on Friday afternoons." Meaning that all clubs would have meetings on Fridays after classes are over.

Suddenly, Kuroko heard his name called so he swiftly went to the front and stood beside Kimiwari sensei.

"Kuroko Tetsuya!" The bluenette stared blankly at the teacher. He was right beside her.

"Kuroko Tetsuya!" Kimiwari sensei yelled louder. Kuroko sighed and tapped the shoulder of his teacher.

"Excuse me but that would be – " His sentence was interrupted by a large shriek coming from the teacher. Kuroko looked questioningly at the surpised adult.

"I am Kuroko Tetsuya, sensei." He said in a monotone voice.

Kimiwari sensei glared at him. "Then why didn't you come and get your schedule when I called you at the start? You've been wasting my time young man! Deten – "

"I apologize for interrupting you but I was right beside you the whole time." Kuroko defended, his face still emotionless. "You didn't seem to notice my presence at all sensei."

The Homeroom and math teacher continued to glare at him while grudgingly giving him his schedule. But then her eyes widened when she didn't see the student in front of her anymore. She started looking around frantically for the 'misbehaving' student she now has in her hands.

'I love misdirection.' Kuroko thought from his seat as Kimiwari sensei finally calmed down and continued to call students. Kuroko now remembered exactly how ill tempered this particular teacher tended to be.

When the first day of classes finally ended, Kuroko was glad that there was no school the next day since it was a weekend.

This day is where he discovered/re-discovered Kimiwari sensei's dislike for him (but most of the time she never noticed him), Akashi's dark aura and all-knowing personality, Murasakibara's love for snacks and childishness, Aomine and Momoi's loud 'disagreements', Kise's boredom since he hadn't played basketball yet and Midorima's anti-social personality (he still wasn't much of a talker in the future but he was a lot more sociable).

Kuroko felt content in meeting the old GoM again. It was going to be hard to keep them from becoming arrogant in the future and he didn't think he could stop that but he would aim to make them keep their love for not just victory but for basketball itself.

Chapter End

AN: Kuroko goes back in time after the Winter Cup and whether or not he won it will be kept under wraps for a while.
