A/N : Heya , guys :) Welcome, to my fist AkaKuro fanfiction. I apologize in advance for OOC-ness for all the characters, due to the fact that I never wrote them. But, maybe I'm able to write the right character for a few people. We'll see xD.

IMPORTANT : First, some facts that might help you to understand the story. There will be many OC's and I will tell you immediately why. Seirin High school will have a girl basketball team. They have 5 regular players and 4 substitutes. They will be like the fresh-man trio and the 4th person will be in the second year. I won't introduce everyone now, because it would be too long, so I just present the two main persons of the team. (The others will be introduced in the chapter). The captain, Aimi Kobayashi, an OC from my Bleach story, but that doesn't have to do with everything, and the coach, Haruko Kobayashi.

Aimi, is a friendly girl. She has long brown wavy hair and brown eyes that always shine. Her height is 1, 65 m (5'5). She's somewhat bubbly and loud, but can be stern and serious in certain situation and in a basketball match as the captain. She's the Point Guard. She's the best female friend of Kuroko since forever, since they grew up together. She was best friend with Ogiwara, too. She and Tetsu were always in the same class since kinder garden. So Aimi knows what the Generation of miracles had done to him and still holds a light grudge against them. She's very protective of Kuroko and loves him dearly. Is good friends with Kagami, too. She has an older brother. She often lectures Tetsu about his health, but you will notice it in later chapters.

Haruko Kobayashi is the older bother of Aimi. He's the opposite of his sister. He's kind, friendly, serious, but can be playful and he's charming. He has a lots of fan girls, but his eyes are set on one girl only. Hehe, you will have to found out who it will be xD He and his sister don't fight much with each other, what's unlikely for most siblings, but there is a reason too it. He loves his sister dearly, but she annoys him every now and then. Due to the fact that his sister grew up with Kuroko, you can say that Haruko grew up with him, too. He always looked after the two and he loves Tetsu like he loves his sister, in a brotherly way, of course. He has brown tousled hair ,not too long and not too short that goes to his shoulders. His eyes are brown, too. He's 1,79 (5'10.5) He's in the same class as Riko.

Why Aimi and Haruko don't fight very much at first, you'll find out later in the story. And you'll find out about Kuroko's past. These two cases are related and it explains why Kuroko became the person he is now. However, the other members I will introduce in the story late on. Takes place 3 months after the winter cup, because honetsly I still didn't read the manga till the end. So no spoilers,please. (Well, I somewhat spoiled myself already, but still).

I warn you, I will not pair Takao up with Midorin and Aomine with Kagami or Kise. I will make them all straight. The only gays one will be Akashi and Kuroko. Don't get me wrong I love MidoTaka, AoKise or AoKaga and HimuMura, but for this fanfiction they have to be straight, you will know why :) I will concentrate on AkaKuro, but there will appear other couples, too.

Last thing, I can't write a good match, so I will keep it briefly when I HAVE TO write one, but it will be mainly be about love and drama,so there is a big chance that there isn't a match at all.

SOOOO, after all these long information, here the first chapter.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer : I, the author of this fanfic, sadly don't own Kuroko no Basuke. It's rightful owner is named Tadatoshi Fujimaki.

~Chapter one : Basketball break~

"WHAT?"

That was the loud booming voice of Kagami Taiga that echoed in the class. Everyone was shocked. Well, shocked was an understatement to say at least.

"Calm down, Kagami-kun" Replied the voice of the teacher, Tomya-sensei. You could hear the understanding in her voice, but at the moment she couldn't do anything about the situation they were currently in. "I understand your shocked and mad, but right now there isn't anything I could to for the matter, let alone the other teachers. And not only here in Tokyo." Silently fuming, Kagami didn't had another choice than to calm down, but damn him if the situation didn't piss him off. Behind him, Kuroko didn't look very different than usual. Except for his hair that grew a bit longer and made him look, like most people said, more adorable. Despite wearing his usual blank face, inside he was shocked and a bit concerned. After all, this situation was very unusual and had never happened before. Next to Kuroko, Aimi, the captain of the girl's basketball team, looked like a steaming tomato. You could visibly see the rage on her face. Next to Kagami and in front of Aimi, was sitting a girl with short black curly hair, blue eyes and wore a scowl on her cute face. Her name is Cho Yamamoto, the vice-captain of the girl's basketball team. She is a polite, friendly girl. Unlike Aimi, she's the shy-type. She can be scary at times, for example if you make fun of her friends. She has an 14-year old brother and they live with their parents. She's 1,69 m (5'7) and the Small forward of the team. Koki Furihata is her secret crush.

For the rest of the class, well, a few were visibly shocked, others just didn't care and there were the people who found it funny. To the annoyance from the basketball players.

These reactions weren't unusual. After all...

It wasn't everyday that the Inter High and Winter Cup were cancelled.

Apparently, the hosts decided that a break was needed. Honestly, nobody knows why. It was strange, but there had to be a reason, a reason that can't be published. It's silly if you ask the basketball player's. They technically had a right to find out about it. Oh, well. That's how it was now.

"I was shocked myself, but there is a positive site. Now you can concentrate more on school and study more. I mainly speak of you Kagami-kun."

That cracked a few laughs in the class, even Aimi giggled, but stopped when Kagami glared at her.

"That was all for today. It will ring in a minute so you can already pack. There won't be home work, but I expect of you to learn for the test next Thursday" she quickly threw Kagami a glare, before continuing "And remember there won't be school on Monday and Tuesday due to the fact that the teachers are on a trip. Did you all understood?"

"Hai,sensei!"

With that they left the class and went home, into the oh so wonderful weekend. Excluding Kuroko, Kagami, Kobayashi and Yamamoto who had practise together.

" Man, that's not fair. Of all years, it had to be the next, hadn't it? The first Inter High and Winter Cup for girls. I swear they did it on purpose, those idiotic, annoying, impossible fuc..."

"Aimi-chan calm down" Interrupted Kuroko with his monotone voice. Intently, the fuming girl calmed down upon hearing his voice.

"But, Tet-chan!" she whined " That isn't fair, why do they pronounce a tournament for high school girls and then cancel it? I swear they are playing with us. I SO looked forward to it and now my dreams are shattered, like pieces of a mirror." A pout formed on her beautiful face. A face that any guy could fall for. By the way, she had many male admirers, but she already has an interest in a guy. And no, it's nobody from her school.

"I know you looked forward to it, but there's nothing we can do, right? I'm not happy either about it, but we have to accept the fact." Deadpanned Kuroko, but you could hear the softness in hi voice. At this Kagami spoke up "Kuroko's right. Even if this sucks, we just have to use the time to train more-" "Kagami-kun you are supposed to learn." "Kuroko you bastard, shut up." Grumbled Kagami annoyed and ruffled Kuroko's hair, just to annoy him. Which he succeed, because a vein popped on the shadow's pale face and swatted his light's hand a way. The two girl's were laughing the whole time.

"Kuroko-kun is right, Kagami-kun. You have to learn if you want to pass the exams." Piped up the amusing voice of Cho. Immediately, she received a glare, which made her a bit scare, but Aimi more laughing. " Ah, Cho-chan. You don't have to be scared of Ta-chan. In reality he's a big softy." Aimi grinned and smirked at Kagami. She knew what she was talking about. After all she spent quite some time with Seirin's light and got to know him better. At first, she hated to admit it, she was a bit afraid of him, but after Kuroko told her, that he wasn't such a bad person, in contrary, she started to talk to him and begun to meet him with Kuroko together. In the end they often hang out together. Cho, on the other hand wasn't so used to Kagami since she was so used to the school. She arrived at the beginning of the Winter Cup and when she introduced herself in the class, she promptly demanded, shyly, to know if there was a girl basketball club. After hearing that, Aimi immediately said yes and started a conversation with her. Then she brought her along to practice and discovered a great talent in her. Of course, she instantly got accepted into the team and even became the vice-captain.

Maybe they should hang out all together. Not just the four of them, but the male and female basketball team together.'Yeah, that's good, so she can get to know everyone. After all, all of us are getting along with each other. It would be akward for her since she hasn't spent time with the boy's and Riko-senpai. Hmm, I should probably talk with her and Haruko first' She grinned, because of her brilliant plan, not noticing the remaining three staring at her. Cho a bit concerned, Kagami disturbed and Kuroko in horror. Not that he let it show, but inside he was horrified. He KNEW what that grin meant. She had something on her mind. He wasn't sure if it was good or bad, but he prayed that it would turn out good in the end.

Arriving at the gym, both team player's were already there. Aimi went straight to her brother and Riko, who were standing side by side, spoke a few words with them and went back to her teammates. Riko and Haruko dissappeared quickly out of the gym. The members of both teams just raised an eyebrow and looked at each other, before shrugging it off and continued to practice.

"Cho-chan. Do you know what that was all about?" Asked a beautiful, tall girl with 1,71 m (5'6). She has long blond wavy her, that was tied in a pony tail, big blue eyes and freckles around her nose. Furthermore, she has a slender body.

"Ah, Saeki-senpai. I'm sorry, but I don't know what happened. Seems like, she has something on her mind again."

Ai Saeki is a playful person. She's always positive and often wears a smile on her face. At times she's depressive, because of her past, but with the help of her friends and boyfriend she can overcome those dark times. She's the shooting guard of the team. She's in the same class as Hyuga and Izuki, who walked to her, cupped the left side of her face with his palm and kissed her. Yes, Izuki Shun, the Point Guard with the eagle eye, was the boyfriend of Ai. The two got together on the day Seirin won against Rakuzan. The girls and Haruko were there to support the boys. After they got the trophy, Ai ran to Izuki, jumped on him and kissed him in front of everyone. The girls squealed, some boys whistled and Kuroko just smiled.

"Izuki-kun. Please, do not display this amount of affection in the middle of practice."

Izuki and Ai pulled away and blushed a bit. Then they turned to the girl who spoke.

Her name was Amaya Ito. Black straight hair, olive green eyes, slender body, height of 1,77 m (5'8) She wears a pair of black rimmed glasses that matched her hair perfectly. Amaya is a strict person. She rarely smiles and is always serious. But that only counts in practice and in a match. Privately she smiles more often and sometimes cracks a joke. She's the Power forward of the team. She too, is a second year, but doesn't attend the same class as Izuki, Hyuga and Ai. She admires Hyuga and has a secret crush on him. Because of that she often gets teased by Aimi and-

"Oh, come on! Loos up, girl! You're just jealous, because you can't do the same thing to your precious Hyu-"

SLAP

"One more word out of your mouth, Inoue-chan and I swear to Kami, that you'll live through hell." Threatened Amaya, her hand still clasping the front of the new arrival girl's mouth.

Said girl giggled behind the hand and removed it. "Oh come one Ama-chan. You know it's true." Replied the Inoue girl with a glint in her eyes. The girl is Hibiko Inoue. A very tall girl, in fact the tallest in the girls team, with 1,92 m (6'3) Naturally she's the Center. Her hair is a dark shade of brown that goes to her mid-back and is tousled, her eyes are black and she has few freckles on her cheeks. Her personality is, well just imagine the female version of Kiyoshi. And like fate it wanted, she became the girlfriend of Kiyoshi. When the teams would practice together Kiyoshi and Hibiko would often end up outside. They could handle either Kiyoshi alone or Hibiko alone, but NOT together.

"Hmph. I really would appreciate it, if you could keep quite." Amaya adjusted her glasses an glared at Hibiko who just pouted. "Fine, you're no fun."

"They never change ,will they?" Asked Kagami sighing. Aimi giggling replied. "No, but it would be boring without them. They really resemble Hyuga-senpai and Kiyoshi-senpai." Said boys, well just one of them the other was goofing around with Nigou, glared at her. "Kobayashi-chan. I'm sorry but I do not see any resembles." "Of course you wouldn't. After all you don't even notice that Ama-chan lo-" Promptly, a hand was clasping in front of her mouth, the same thing what happened a few minutes ago with Hibiko. Only this time, Amaya had her arm around Aimi's neck and pulled her out of the gym. "Excuse me for a few minutes." Amaya simply said and continued to drag the struggling girl. "TET-CHAN! HELP MEEEEEEEEE!" Said boys who was busy passing the ball to Kagami, turned around and blankly stared at Amaya. "Please, do not hurt her so much." Was all he said and continued his training. This made Amaya smirking and Aimi looked at his back with horror. "YOU TRAITOR! THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES. I PROMISE YOU THAT" With that the fading voice disappeared behind the door.

Meanwhile, the other shook their heads. Clearly that girl would never change. Not even in thousand yea-.

Wait.

All of them, except Kagami and Cho, stared at Kuroko with wide eyes who stared back innocently at them after turning around when he heard the door close. "What is it?" He slightly bent his head to the side. The girls immediately squealed inside at how cute he looked. But, nevertheless...

"HOW LONG WERE YOU THERE?!" The all screamed at once. "Ehm, he was here since the beginning. He came with me, Aimi-chan and Kagami-kun." Answered Cho shyly. "Huh,well that is not really surprising." Sighed Hyuga and adjusted his glasses. "Really, Kuroko-kun. Someday, someone will die of a heart attack." Scolded Ai slightly, still in the arms of Izuki. "She's right Kuroko. Next time, say something when you arrive." Huffed Kagami. Kuroko ,not really fazed nodded ,slightly. "I will keep it in mind, but please do not blame me if you forget about me then." Deadpanned Kuroko. "Huh?" Blinking, Cho really couldn't follow anymore. Why would they forget him? Yes, she noticed that he had really low presence, that even she didn't notice him at first, but people couldn't possibly forget about him.

Could they?

Hibiko sensed the confusion in Cho and began to explain. "Well, you see. There was a time when Kuro-kun went to the super market and bought his supplies. Not finding the food for Nigou, he decided to ask one of the employees. Doing that, the employee went in search for the food, but she didn't came back. So Kuro-kun waited for half an hour, thinking that the employee was still searching. But, after another 5 minutes or so, he found her filling the shelves and went to her. He asked, she looked surprised, because she didn't see him at first and thought that he was a ghost, but Kuro-kun managed to make her notice him. She then politely asked if he needed help, not even recognizing him. In that moment, he knew that he was forgotten. Oh, that broke my heart. Poor little Kuro-kun." She sighed dramatically and hugged Kuroko tightly.

Cho just stared.

"Ah, I just remembered. Matsumoto-chan, Tatsumi-chan, Minami-chan and Ichinose-chan. Do you know if you can come, too the next year?" Aked the captain of the boys team. The four questioned girls, who were sitting with the freshmen trio of the boys, Tsuchida, Koganei and Mitobe, just nodded.

Mami Matsumoto, true to her name, is a splendid beauty. She has beautiful chocolate curly brown hair and grey eyes, a slender body and a killer smile. She is the substitute Power forward with 1,73 m (5'8). She is a first year in Seirin and in the same class as Furihata, Kawahara and Fukuda. Even if she is a beauty, she's rude and loud, but she can be sensible and friendly from time to time. The other girls have to show Mami her place and try to make her less rude. Aimi often punches her if she becomes too rude.

Sarana Tatsumi is 1,79 m (5'10) and the substitute Center of the team. She has short light straight brown hair that went to her chin and dark blue eyes. Like the rest of the girls she, too has a slender body. She's somewhat quite and the most time depressed. She rarely smiles and doesn't talk much, but the others don't judge her because of this. They believe there is a reason to it and treat her like everybody else. Therefor, Saran is really grateful. She's a second-year and in the same class as Mitobe and Koganei.

Ume Minami is the substitute Point Guard with 1,71 m (5'7). She has a slender body, light green eyes and brown straight hair that she wears in a braid. She is a first-year and in the same class as Mami. Her personality is different from the other, due to the fact that she changes her mood very quickly. First, she is happy, one minute after that she's crying and in a blink of the eye she' angry. Yes, she's quite special, but so are the others.

Last, but not least, Yuri Ichinose. 1,70 m (5'7) and . Wears her mixed between black and brown, shoulder-length hair into a short pony-tail, has a slender body and brown eyes. First-year in Seirin, but she's the only one who is alone in her class. Yuri doesn't think before she talk, so she often gets in trouble. But, she has good heart and tries to help everyone if she can. She can be stern at times and she is often scary.

Three of the lovely girls have boyfriends. Sarana is Mitobes girlfriend. Mami is Kawaharas girlfriend and Yuri is Fukudas girlfriend.

Mami and Yuri joined the club, because their two boyfriend's recommended them to try it out. And of course, because they love their boy's, the signed into the club and soon realized that basketball was fun. Sarana,on the other hand was in the club since the team was formed. It was around the same time that the boys team was formed.

Well, and for Ume, she has a secret crush on Kagami, who is not aware of her feelings, but unknown to Ume, Kagami feel the same about her. She first joined the club, because she wanted to impress Kagami, but soon decided that it was actually fun and concentrated on getting better.

The Seirin girls basketball team doesn't have a substitute Shooting Guard, but they hope that someone will sign into their club and take that position.

Seirin teams, boys and girls, decided to spend the holidays together in the following year. They wanted to travel to America for experience and fun since they had and collected enough money. Everyone has agreed, except the four girls, who weren't sure if they could go.

"Yeah, I'm able to go. What about you three?" Asked Yuri her companions. " Hmph,of course I can go. I'm not some party popper." Huffed Mami. "YEAH! ME TOO! ME TOO!" Chirped Ume happily and Sarana just nodded. "And Mami, don't be rude." Everybody felt a chill run past their spins. Oh, alright. There were the mood swings. They could clearly hear the venom in Ume's voice of that last sentences. That quickly made Mami shut up and Kawahara just shook his head because of his girlfriend's antics. But, still he slung an arm around her shoulder and she leaned on him. Sarana was comfortable in Mitobe's arms. How they could communicate was beyond the members of both teams, but well it was love. Yuri, meanwhile, was seated betwene Fukuda's legs, her back to his chest. The two sat on the floor.

Hyuga, Cho, Furihata, Ume and Kagami watched in jealousy. They were happy for each pf them that they found happiness, but did they had to be lovey dovey in front of their eyes? Kuroko just watched in disinterest, he too was happy for his friends, but he didn't need seeing them like that. But just looking at them, stirred an emotion inside him that he automatically thought of an certain red-head. Shaking his head, not wanting to think of HIM now, he just pulled Kagami after him and the two resumed the training.

In that moment Aimi and Amaya arrived back. Aimi who had a big bump on her head and Amaya who was smirking, With tears in the corners of her eyes, Aimi glared back at them. "Not. A. Word." And with that said, she went to the bench and sat down, sulking a little. Kuroko stopped the training and went to comfort her, hating seeing her that way.

"What now-"

BANG

Kagami was forcefully interrupted when the door to the gym slammed open. Behind the door, of course, was the wonderful Coach Riko Aida who had a creepy smile on her face. The other immediately were wary. Behind her stood Haruko grinning.

"Listen up everybody." She began in a loud booming voice, full of excitement. "Aimi-chan asked us if we could take a trip so Yamamoto-chan can get know everyone better. And it can even strengthen our bond with each other. First of all, Aimi-chan thank you for the wonderful idea." Aimi giggled at this and responded with equally excitement. "It was my pleasure." Riko grinned and wanted to continue, but was interrupted. "Riko, that idea is sure appealing, but with which money are we gonna pay for the trip. If you remember, we need the money for next year when we travel to America." "Hmph. Hyuga-kun, you idiot! I know that already of course and I already calculated it. We still have a bit of money left and I used it to pay for the train tick-" "Actually, I paid for the rest of the tickets and the hotel." Stated bluntly the coach of the girls. "WHAT? NO WE CAN'T POSSIBLY ACCEPT THAT!" Panicked Koganei. Everybody else was shocked,too.

"Of course you can. After all it's for both of the teams. I don't mind." "Onii-chan, you are the best." Screamed Aimi and jumped on her brother. Actually, the two Kobayashi siblings were rich, but only the two teams new that.

"Thank you Haruko-kun." Riko smiled at him and the said boy blushed a bit. "Y..you're welcome." He muttered and broke awa from his sister. All the girls watched their coach with a knowing smile.

"I still have a question." Piped up Furihata. "Yes, what is it?" Replied Riko and Haruko at the same time. "When will be leaving?" "Oh, in the evening. Our train leaves at 18:15 and we should arrive at 21:05 there. Don't worry I and Haruko-kun already called your legal guardian and they all agreed. We send you at home, so you can pack for tonight. We'll be staying until Tuesday afternoon. If somebody comes late, I'll triple the training menu for the whole team. That goes for BOTH teams." Smiled Riko evilly. Everyone visibly paled at that. They were still a bit shocked how quick they could book train tickets and the hotel, but the boys and girls knew that their coaches had connections.

"Wait. One last question."

"Yes, Kuroko-kun what is it?" Asked Riko. "Where are we going?" The others face palmed themselves. They couldn't believe they actually forgot to ask where they would be going. Riko and Haruko threw a glance at each other. Riko replied, but Kuroko honestly wasn't prepared for the answer.

"Kyoto."

A/N : FINALLY! I finished the first chapter. That was quiet difficult, because I kept confusing myself with so many OC'S :) Sooooo,how was this chapter? I know it was boring, but it was the first, introduction and all, you know? :D Honestly, I'm not sure how long it takes from Tokyo to Kyoto by train, so I searchen in the Internet. If it's wrong please inform me and write the right period of thing. Koganei has a girlfriend too, but she isn't in the same school, just so you know. I hope you got interested, but I warn you ,I will not update quickly due to school and such. Oh and I mentioned that I would be concentrate on AkaKuro, but I will briefly describe how the other pairing got together, meaning Ume/Kagami, Hyuga/Amaya, Aimi/XXX, Furihata/Cho. I'm not sure if everyone of the GoM's will appear, I have to think of that, but I can promise you Shutoku will play a big role ;) I apologize for grammar and spelling errors. The grammar, because English isn't my first language and the spelling errors, well I have a spelling checker, but somehow I still miss some errors :/ I know the girls are REALLY tall, especially the Centers, but this is FANFICTION right? :D If you have questions, feel free to ask :D

Until next time! :D
