Chapter 1

I was so bored being at the top of everything. All seem so simple for me in regardless conditions. For me, winning is a simple matter, as simply as playing my palm. Because I always win, I get everything. Only the winner ruled this world, just like how Dad did in his career life.

For preparing me as the next leader of Akashi's Group, I came to a very fine middle school called Teikou that has the strongest basketball team in the nation. Dad said that I must be there, and control that strongest team. More than a request, it's like a command. I had nothing to refuse, since my entire father's words were absolute, like my words to my subordinates.

In my first try, basketball was as simple as the others. I mastered it so quickly and won so simply. I didn't understand why people like the one in the third string could not make it. I knew, it's just because they were losers, losers that had to follow the winner.

I was placed in the first string, and for a first year student caught the first string was extraordinary. Not only me, there are three students that had overflowing talent like me. They are Atsushi, Daiki, and Shintarou. They had their own talent, and all I had to do was controlling them to make the strongest team ever. However, something in the deep of my heart had been trembling. This team had a lack, a big lack that should be covered to make a perfect team. Because of that, I had to find it. Find that x factor and made it shine.

In that day, I eventually found it. The x factor I searched for so long. He was a weakest person the third string, the one who played with Daiki and got his attention. When I was the one who simply remembered all names and faces in basketball team, he was the one I did not aware of. I even asked if we have that kind of player. Top of that, I found something interesting in that light blue head boy. He had a weak presence, almost like a ghost. He was different from the others, the existence that should be polished to create a very unique basketball player. Then, in the day I meet him, I offered him a chance to make him in the top of Teikou with the rest of us. He should find his own strength and show it in front of me and coach. Coach would transfer him to the first string if he could find the use himself in the court. In the bet, I made it. The boy named Kuroko Tetsuya had done it pretty well as I guessed. He was so reliable.

"Congratulation." I grabbed his small shoulder. He looked at me with his expressionless eyes like usual.

"Akashi-kun?"

"You made it, right? It'll be tough in the future."

"I know."

Tetsuya hug his ball and tried to dribble it along the half court, but he lost it in the middle. I laughed a little.

He saw me laughed but he was still in his expressionless face.

"You are already in first string but you are still lacking in dribble and shooting." I mocked him.

"I know and I try the best to make it." He defended.

He was different from others. Even he knew he did not have any talent in early time before I found him, he did not even try to stop his step in basketball. As Daiki said, he practiced till late everyday, but still did not make it to even second string. He was super weak, but he has 'something' in him. I could see that, the talent of Tetsuya. He was the one I need in my strongest team ever. He was the one who can only support my strongest team from every condition. His pass made every member show his best. He was very reliable in the court, although in one-on-one he would be lost easily.

In the past three months, Tetsuya became the shadow of our team's ace, Daiki. It'll be the best since Daiki was the ace and he needed him more that the others. However, it seems I was jealous. I was the one who find him, right? Seeing him too attached to Daiki than me made me a little bit frustrated. It's not like I was falling in love with him. As I, the one who found him, was the one who owned him, that's the rule. Nonetheless, even I tried to be closer to him, he was closer to Daiki, like he found the true goal of his basketball.

"Tetsuya, can we talk?" I stopped him from talking to Daiki.

"Yes, Akashi-kun." He followed me behind when Daiki continued his dunk practices.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked as we took a seat in the bench.

"Tetsuya, do you like Daiki so much?" I asked him frontally. He seemed surprised, but he gave his best expression although for me it's still expressionless.

"Yes, because he is my best friend. But I also like Akashi-kun, Momoi-san, Midorima-kun, and Murasakibara-kun." He answered honestly.

"So, you like him more than you like me?"

Tetsuya brought his eyes away from me. I knew he was trying to make a good answer, but I guessed not…

"He was special, but I respect you since you are the one who help to be here and play basketball with him."

I was so jealous. Why did not he face me when giving that answer? Am I too scary to him?

"You are mine."

"Eh?"

"You are mine, since I was the one who found you."

"Why do you say something like that, Akashi-kun?"

Tetsuya faced me again, but he looked a little bit angry also confused. Actually, that's what I wanted.

"Don't' you think our meeting was a fate?" I asked him when he calmed down himself.

"That's certainly."

"Ne Tetsuya, since I met you that day, I found the x factor I searched for so long. It's not only because I see your talent in basketball, but because I felt another bond to you. It seemed that my heart was longing you over years. When I see you, I can't feel anything else except relief. Do you have the same feeling as me?"

Tetsuya was in his silent moments, when Satsuki approached us and called his name from long distance.

"Akashi-kun, I'm sorry I'll back to practice." He stood up and tried to leave me behind.

"Answer me!" I grabbed his tiny wrist and gave him a glare.

He looked hesitate for a moment, but released my hand softly. Maybe, it's the first one I did not get an answer for something I needed to know. He defied me for the first time.

He ran to Satsuki who cheerfully hugged his arm. Then, he took a ball and backed to dribble practice.

I sighed but it's not over yet. I'll get his answer for sure. I'm Akashi the winner. No one was allowed to defy me. Not a single one.

"So, you got a new reliable man?" Dad asked me from the other side of the three-meter-long dining table.

"Yes, he has a weak presence and he was not superior in physic as Daiki, Shintarou, or Atsushi." I answered honestly since there was no way for me to give improper answer to my father.

"Then, why did you choose him?"

"He was supportive players. Although he was so weak, he can make the strong player give their best in the court. It's his real power."

"Good job, Seijuuro. I have taught you that you should know when to take strong people when to take the weak but realiable. I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks, Dad." I gave him a smile.

"So, what is this phantom player's name?" Dad looked so excited.

"Kuroko Tetsuya."

Hearing that name, Dad looked so strange. He was pale for the next seconds. His fork was falling down and caused a loud sound.

"Dad? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

He looked still pale. He froze for a moment, but he backed to move and give me a glance before turned himself to his wine.

"Seijuuro, I have to say this to you. I know that you may be confused and terribly shock, but it is the secret of this family." Dad looked so tense. He breathed so hard, but he tried to calm himself down.

"What's the matter, Dad?"

"You are not the only son I have."

I felt so shock, really. How could Dad keep this secret from me for over the years? And why should he talk about it right now?

"What are you talking about? Mom died when gave born to me."

"That's right."

"Don't tell me you have affair."

"Of course not. I love your mother more than anything else, that's why I am not re-married."

"So, what do you mean, Dad?" I gave him a glare, indicated my impatient.

"He was born in the same time as you, he was your twin brother, named Tetsuya."

"So it's because he has the same name as Kuroko Tetsuya, you just informed me about this?"

"He was taken by a woman called Kuroko Aimi."

My eyes widened. I could not believe this.

"It's just coincidence, right?"

"No, although you know nothing, I know my other child in that woman's hand. I know every single thing about him."

"Why did not you tell me earlier about him?"

"I think this is the best time, when you meet him personally."

"What about I did not meet him then?"

"Then, the bond of both of you is weak, and you will not know anything."

I was angry. It felt like I was the one who left behind. I knew that Tetsuya would not be informed yet, but it seemed that I was the one who supposed to know everything are fooled by my father. No, my subordinate who kept me from since I was born also hide this from me. I could not believe it.

"Dad, then, what am I supposed to do after knowing this fact?" I faced Dad directly.

"It's up to you. Since that woman has taken Tetsuya from me, I already gave up on him."

"But, who is Kuroko Aimi? What's the relationship to our family, why did he take Tetsuya from this family?"

Dad sighed. He drank his wine and backed to me.

"Everything happened after both of you were born. She begged me to have Tetsuya and I don't have any choice except give him since he was weaker than you. You know, I need a strong son to be the heir of this family. And than give up on you, I prefer to give up on him."

"I need a proper reason, not an excuse, Dad. Tell me everything about Tetsuya taken by that woman."

"Be patient Seijuuro, you resemble me a lot. I'll tell you every single thing you are willing to know, but let's have this dinner done first."

That night, Dad told me everything. The tragedy happened in the day Tetsuya and I born.
