Prologue

"Nice pass Kuroko-san." Sakurai Ryo, shooting guard of Touou shouted before receiving the ball and shoot a quick three pointer.

'No matter how good or how fast my pass is, it will be useless as long as it doesn't reach him.' Kuroko thought while looking at the back of his light.

~FLASHBACK~

"Aomine-kun, have you decided which high school you are going to go?" Kuroko asked while walking beside Aomine.

"Hah~ About that, anywhere is fine right? As long as i don't have to attend practice. But I will most likely go to Touou since they scouted me."

"Is that so..."

'Should I follow him? Maybe that is the fastest way to get back his love for basketball.' Kuroko thought and for the rest of the way back, it was in complete silence.

Next day at practice

"Kurokocchi~ Can I be your light for practice today? Aominecchi won't be coming anyway."

Then, Kuroko's heart skipped a beat. He know well that Aomine will only come for practice unless Akashi summons them.

"Okay, I will pass the ball to Kise-kun today" but no one can ever replace Aomine-kun's place as my light. The teal hair teen answered but kept the last part to himself.

After Practice

"Kuro-chin~ I found a new type of vanilla candy. want some? Oh, and Aka-chin ask me to tell you to meet him in the classroom now."

"Thanks for informing me Murasakibara-kun, and I would like to have that candy."

After taking the candy, Kuroko went to look for Akashi immediately since he did not want to think what will Akashi do if he made him wait for too long.

*knock* *Knock*

"Akashi-kun, what did you call me for?" Kuroko slide open the door and asked, only to see a red headed teen, standing near a table by the window, sorting out some documents.

"Tetsuya, come in. I called you here because I want you to go to Rakuzan with me."

Kuroko's eyes open wide, unsure whether he had heard wrong.

"But.. didn't you told us to each go to a different high school? And even if I were to go to the same high school with any of you guys, shouldn't it be Aomine-kun? Since he is my light."

Upon hearing that, Akashi clenched his teeth and shouted,"Tetsuya! Are you trying to defy me? Why would you still want to follow Daiki when he no longer treat you as his shadow?"

"I know..." Kuroko said softly. He had knew that all along, ever since Aomine stopped bumping fists with him during matches but deep down, he didn't want to admit it. He didn't want to be a shadow without its light. "but... I want to bring the old Aomine-kun back. I cannot stand seeing him like this. And I cannot survive without a light. Without him, I will be nothing." Kuroko looked down and said, trying to hold in his tears.

"Please...just this one time, let me try."

"Fine." Akashi understood what Kuroko wanted. Just like a certain teal hair teen likes a certain tanned teen, a certain red hair teen also likes a certain teal hair teen. But he couldn't forgive the tanned teen. He was the one who found Kuroko's hidden talent, the one who gave him a shadow. And yet, he did not appreciate what was given and even threw it aside. He did not want a certain teal hair teen to get hurt again but nothing could change the teal hair teen's mind now. "I will give you a year. If within that time limit and you still failed, I will have you transfer to Rakuzan immediately and never contact Daiki again. If you succeeded, I will let you do what you want."

Kuroko hesitated. He knew that making a bet with Akashi is reckless since he never loses but this is his only chance. If he decline the offer, nothing would change and Aomine would remain the same.

"I accept your offer, Akashi-kun."

~FLASHBACK END~

And so, Kuroko will now start his new life at Touou.

How is it? Please tell me any mistakes. I will let you guys decide on the pairing. Do you want AkaKuro or Aokuro. Though I personally like AkaKuro, I want to respect your decision as well. As for those who does not get their chosen choice, I might consider writing another fanfic about the other pairing.
