"The generation of miracles, you say? It might be fun."

Teikou middle school basketball club. A super strong school with more than 100 club members, boasting several successive championship wins. But even in that glorious history, there is still a team that can without fail be called the "strongest".

The team was definitely broken with graduation, or was it not? Could something bring them together again?

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of Kuroko no Basket. Not in this chapter, not in the rest of them, so I'll just put this here :)

If you don't know at least four members of the generation of miracles including Kuroko, this may contain some spoilers (Not many, I think).

I know the manga has shown five already, but since I can't read Japanese, I had to keep it with what I know. It would have been good to include the missing members but, oh well. Maybe when they are shown there could be another story, right?

Oh, another thing: I'm not English, so please forgive any mistakes I might have ^^.

Ch. 1_The reason I can't stand that guy

Sometime before the summer vacation. At the newly formed Seirin High, as well as Shuutoku High, Kaijou High, and Touou High no one could have known about the events that were about to unravel.

For the moment, everyone was working hard in training; precisely at Seirin…

"Kagamidiot! How many times do I have to tell you! NO-DUNKS-ALLOWED!"

The coach, Aida Riko, had decided on a special training for the day: everyone had to play the role they were less used to. Even if none of the players were all-rounders, none were having such a hard time as the regular freshmen, Kagami Taiga and Kuroko Tetsuya.

Kagami instinctively turned to dunks even though he was supposed to throw from the three-point lane; he just forgot and kept running. As for Kuroko… after trying again and again he was unable to go one on one against the rest effectively, and as punishment he had to play while wearing bells that revealed his position.

No need to say, it was being a disaster. The freshmen on the other training team were having a hard time too, as Riko invented more and more painful ways of "improving" their abilities. At least she had given up in the "black iberian ham sandwich hunt" that was held again that day, since Kuroko was able to sneak into the crowd from every possible angle.

"Anyone knows what is she so angry at? Did you guys do something to her?" Kagami complained for the tenth time.

"She was like that in class too. The teacher almost begged for forgiveness in math class when she had to solve a problem on the blackboard. Maybe a family quarrel?"

"No chatting or I'll triple the training!"

Indeed, Riko was worried about a strange note that she had found the day before in the locker room. For a while she had been wondering if she should let the players know, but it could be a prank. It wasn't even clear what did it mean. It could even be totally unrelated to the team.

No, those were just excuses. She had the feeling that something was going extremely wrong and there was no way of grasping the situation correctly.

This time, the team could be in a great pitch, especially the member this note was addressed to, so surely there was nothing wrong with trying to verify some things before worrying everyone without a need. The note was still in her backpack.

THIS IS OUR PIECE OF ADVICE

ESCAPE IS NOT POSSIBLE

IS TIME FOR THE PAST TO

KNOW AND REVEAL THE TRUE FACES

OF THE FOUR PARTS

U HAS THE ANSWER

U has the answer? At first I thought it could be "you", but that is just… The idea came to her in a flash. She left the court, rushed towards her bag and then she went to the bathroom. Before taking the weird note out, she verified that no one had followed her. After checking the note, she revised it again.

This… Escape… Is… T-E-I-K-O-U. Teikou! It just as I suspected. Then this must involve the generation of miracles, right? And U… the sixth letter, that means the sixth player, Kuroko! What's going on here? What answer is this referring to? Wait, maybe I'm overthinking this too much, after all it says "four", and they were six people altogether.

She was still puzzled by the whole situation when she heard some noises, back in the court; when she got back, Momoi was there, looking startled at Kuroko's outfit. As soon as she spotted Riko, however, she went straight to where the coach was.

"Do you have a second? There's something I wanted to talk to you about."

They went back to the lockers, and once they were there, Momoi reached her purse to get a note exactly like the one Riko had found.

"Aomine found this in one of his trainers two days ago. He told me not to give it much thought, but… take a look, it seems like it's referring to…"

"To Teikou, right?" Riko showed hers, and continued. "It sounds almost like a challenge letter, but why being so underhanded about it? Of the four pieces, like they want them together. Only, which four? And what for?"

"Obviously Aomine and Tetsu are two of them. I guess the other two must have received letters like those too.' Momoi hesitated and then made a decision. 'I think we should ask Midorin first. He and Kise were the ones who received more challenge letters, after all."

"Kise? Shouldn't it be the captain?"

"Well, most people were jealous since he is also good-looking. Not as much as Aomine or Tetsu, but I guess that was why the boys at Teikou were so annoyed with him.' Momoi checked the clock on her wrist. 'It is a bit late to go all the way to Shuutoku, but maybe we could check out Kaijou since it is closer. We should get there on time to get him when their training ends."

"Wow, you even know what his training schedule is?"

It was exactly right. As the got into Kaijou's grounds, they found Kise and Kasamatsu walking out together. Momoi and Riko headed their way before Kise's fans could get much closer. As the approached, it became clear that he was worried about something.

Jackpot; Kise has also found one of those strange notes. They were all identical, with the same type of character and a dark spot right over the left upper corner, as if the tonner was broken when the letters were printed. Even so, there was no way to know who could have sent them, or why would someone do that.

The part about the answer was especially disturbing, and both Momoi and Kise agreed that it referred to Kuroko.

"But that's what it's bugging me the most. The reporters used to forget about Kurokocchi, and even most of the rivals tended not to notice him. And that they mention him but not the six of us, it's almost as if they want to settle a score. I don't think Kurokocchi ever drew attention towards him that much."

A well-known voice rose behind them.

"That is the reason I can't stand that guy. Even if there was something, I doubt we could get it out of him."

"Midorima! And Takao!"

"It seems that I'm mixed up in this prank as well. I thought it was just Kise's way to draw attention on himself, but I guess he is not that intelligent."

"So mean, Midorimacchi!"

Riko sighed, the situation had definitely surpassed her. She might as well let Kuroko know, now that she couldn't keep avoiding it. He was probably still in training, so as much as she would have liked to let the matter be till the morning, she could get over with it that day.

They were still discussing the meaning of the letter when suddenly, Riko's phone sounded. She looked briefly at the screen, it was Hyuuga. What could he want?

"You should come here, coach. There is trouble."

"Trouble? What kind of trouble?"

She spent about 20 seconds listening before turning to the rest.

"It seems like… the mysterious postman has already showed up."

Well, this is also my first fic, so I hope you liked it so far. Next chapter, back to Seirin and the connection between the one who sent the note and Kuroko! Any review is welcome, too ^^.
