Hey guys, this is my first Kuroko no Basuke fic, so yeah! I'm pretty new to this fandom. It kinda popped up as I was writing a chapter for another story. Plus I graduate high school today! So consider this a celebratory fic! Anywho, same goes for all my fanfics, no review or even follow...no further chapters will be written. Just let me know someone likes this, and there will be more:) Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Kuroko Tetsuya has 3 secrets: One 'he' is a 'she. Two: Her former captain Akashi Seijiro is her cousin. Three: Her and her cousin were arranged to be married since birth. Fem! Kuroko x GoM…what pairing? We will see…

Honestly…2/10. For an average player it would be at least be 3 but even I'm below that. I love basketball with all my heart and I'm not bad at it, I'm just not varisty material, after all the only basketball I've ever played was street basketball. Why…? Maybe that purple haired giant is right…maybe you have to be born with it. Ah…no Tetsuya, you must not think that way. You made it third string yes, but at least you made it. And that in itself is a relief, they didn't notice the wrong box checked on my physical, it was a gamble but I just had to try-out, it's always been a dream of mine to play official basketball,

"You are on third-string, correct?" It was dark and the lights shining on the court only made the basketball and a few faint lines of the court visible, but even then I could see glints of fire colored hair.

"Yes." I steadied the ball in my hands and tried to shoot again and missed. I waited for him to say more but he didn't so I continued to practice. He must've just passed by and recognized me.

"I don't like being ignored, third-stringer." The voice spoke again. No honorifics? I'm not a manners hag, but that was rude. Oh well, it's not like it bothers me or anything, So, I'll let it slide, as long he doesn't decide to jump me.

"Well, you should step out of the shadows and talk to me properly, ne? Stranger-kun."I grabbed the ball coming back from a rebound off the backboard.

"How cute. You suck at shooting, but you have potential to play basketball as another position, if you stop trying to force yourself to play the conventional way. Conventional playing is for conventional players, and those players are nothing are nothing but dead weight on the court."

"Oh? Do you like basketball, stranger-kun?"I kinda figured it'd be someone from school, but I don't remember seeing anyone with red hair there. Ah! He must be on the first string! I played with the 2nd and 3rd string students. But why would he bother to lecture me at this time of night?

"So not going to deny your pitiful performance, are you? How honest." He sounded like the wolf from that red riding hood story.

"No, I am just not the one to deny my faults." I tried to shoot again and missed...again.

"Oh don't tell me you believe if you try hard, you will get better at it?"Stanger-kun chuckled ominously.

"Yes, I do, stranger-kun. If I gave up that easy, I wouldn't be here." Getting ready to shoot again.

"I didn't ask you for your life story." It was clear that he wasn't going away so, I tucked the ball away, just to correct him politely.

"I don't recall doing so, or having the intention of telling someone like 'stranger-kun' either. I answered your question and why, that is all. Now if you don't mind, I would like to continue practicing please." I bowed slightly his way, and dribbled the ball,two dribbles and a flash of red passed me and the ball was gone. Impossible! This must be…then he is…

"Do you mind telling me your name then?"Why is everything that this guy say sound like a command? Remembering his reputation at school, he was not someone to mess with.

"Oh? Okaa-san said not to speak to strangers."I said in realization.

"Ridiculous. It seems I made you mad, with only that?"I could hear him roll his eyes. It's not that I was ignoring him, it's just that I just now remembered what okaa-san said to me before I told her that I was going to go practice when I got home afterschool,

"I'm not mad, stranger-kun. I just would like to finish up here so I can return home, if I don't return home soon my okaa-san would scold me harshly."

The night silence was broken by the sound of laughter, did I say something funny?

"Interesting! A mother's boy! That is fine and all, but if you ignore me again, then I'll get mad, and then there will be more than a problem, especially that I was only trying to help you."He said suddenly changing moods, yes, this is who I thought it is.

"Help me? Stranger-kun is awfully generous to he doesn't know."

"I know who you are Kuroko Tetsuya, do you know who I am?"

"I think I know, now."

"Good, you'll do very well to listen to me now that I have found your hiding spot. And to think you would walk into my domain and think I would not find you out is laughable."

"As soon as I submitted my physical, I knew you would find me. I just hoped you wouldn't bother with me."

"And why would I do that?"

"You don't like this as much as I do. You are a liar if you say you don't."

"Then you have foolishly made the mistake of calling me a liar AND taking me for a fool. Don't think just because you have my family name written on you, that you are in my safe graces, toys can be easily broken, especially ones that belong to me, no one would have objection if I did, because of that name written on you." This was escalating dangerously, but I just had to put my foot down on this one.

"Then would have to confirm your conclusion…I do not belong to you, the only one who owns me is me." Surprisingly, he did not scream at me or yell, or even move.

"TETSU!"I saw a quick flash of jet blue hair and cinnamon colored skin. And I knew who it was.

"Aomine-san?"I was tackled down when something silver almost grazed my cheek, if I weren't on the ground.

"Hmph."I heard some rustling and stanger-kun was gone.

"Tetsu…" Aomine sounded upset. "You…were AWESOME! 'The only one who owns me is me' Pretty bad ass coming from you! Not bad Tetsu! Although you were almost killed." He pointed to the ground next to the light post, a pair of scissors. I looked up at the lightpost and there was a considerable dent in it. I was indeed foolish for thinking he had changed, even if it was just for a second.

"Thank you, Aomine-san." I got up and bowed, thanking him properly.

"Come on, Tetsu. We're friends, drop the '-san'." He rose, towering over me.

"Thank you, Aomine-kun?" I cocked my head to the side. Did he mean first name? Or just no honorifics? Or...maybe first name with honorifics?

"Why the question mark?!" He looked irritated.

Before this Aomine was just a boy I occasionally played basketball with since I was little, I didn't know him well, I just knew he lived nearby and I would always play on his team when he was around. He went to Teiko too, he's a first stringer, and he was in a different class. We bumped into each other just last week at the school gyms and have been hanging out more.

"But seriously…" he placed a hand on my head and ruffled my hair a bit. "you okay?"

"Oh, yes, thank you." I nodded.

"So that was the prodigy, huh? He seemed serious at school but just now... he was a crazy son of a bitch if you ask me…what's that weird shit about his family name written on you?" He looked to me expectedly.

"Oh…my family owes his money, so he thinks he own me."Well…that is true, my family owes his family money, so they cornered my parents into 'keeping the family line pure'. Meaning me and stranger-kun, doing it AND having a baby…which is not going to happen, not willingly, and my parents have prepared for the Akashi's to be down their back about paying up, because I will not marry Sei-kun AND do it with him. They decided that the first time Sei-kun went to visit me during my primary school graduation.

"Sei-kun!" I hugged him, and he hugged me. Our meetings were always small and formal, just so we could do some 'bonding'.

"Hello Tetsuya, congratulations." He smiled gently.

"Thanks!"I smiled back at him. I heard a loud 'yahhhhoooooo!', not doubt Hiroshige-kun, he almost was held back a grade until I helped him study.

"Tetsuya-chaaan! We did it!"Shigehiro-kun picked me up and twirled me around totally ignoring Sei-kun,I could see Sei-kun's eyes darken. I knew what Shigehiro-kun would do next, he'd plant a kiss on my forehead and say 'thank you', like he always does when I do him favors. I had to stop him before he did. So I tilted my head up to tell him to stop, because he was considerably taller than me, when the kiss landed on the side of my face next to my lips and made me bit my lip.

"AH! Tetsuya-chan! If you wanted a real kiss you could've let me know. Now you bit your lip. Here." Shigehiro was my protector and in a sense, my big brother, and now Sei-kun was looking at him in disgust and disapproval. Even as a young girl I knew that look was very very bad.

I kept my eyes on Sei-kun as Shigehiro opened his supply case to grab a tissue from it, suddenly Sei-kun disappeared from my sight and was on top of Shigehiro-kun trying to drive scissors into his chest.

"You trash! How dare you put your dirty fingers on Tetsuya! Just die already."

My father had to pry Sei-kun off of Hiroshige-kun, and Sei-kun cut up my father's hands and arms, trying to get him to release him, calling my father a 'traitor' and a 'filthy half-blood'. I'll never forget it…that day he broke my image of sweet caring Sei-kun and made me aware of a whole other side of him.

"Shigehiro-kun take Tetsuya and get her out of here!"Okaa-san yelled.

"Hai!" Shigehiro picked me up in a shocked stupor and ran me from the raging middle schooler.

"You mutt! Get your hands off of her! She's mine! Get the hell off of me before I gouge your eyes out, traitor!" He roared.

"Stop it! Seijiro this is undignified!"My father grunted, Sei-kun looked shocked then he went limp.

"Yes, my apologies. Forgive me,Tetsuya. As I will forgive you for naively wandering from arms that are not mine. But if you don't remove this mutt from our sight...I will have him put down."His face changed completely, it was even scarier, he was calm but terrifying.

"If you're scared, just don't listen." Shigehiro definitely looked horrified but he kept strong.

"Stay silent, mutt. Tetsuya…tell him to leave." I was shaking, I didn't want to. I looked to Shigehiro. "Tetsuya!"

"Hiro…y-you have to go. I'm sorry."

"But Tetsuya_"

"Tell him to never come back."

"No! Tetsu_"

"P-please, don't come near me again."

"Not if you don't want me to! I know you don't want me to!"

"Don't be so self-confident, Tetsuya will always pick me over mutts like you anytime. Tell him Tetsuya!"

"I-I_"

"TELL HIM."

"I WILL ALWAYS PICK SEI-KUN OVER YOU!" I cried.

"I-if that's how you feel."Shigehiro practically ran away from me.

That started my hatred for Akashi Seijiro, my hatred of his family came when they used their power to drive Hiroshige from his house and made him move away from me.

All was good between me and Shigehiro, in fact the next day he came and asked me if I wanted to play basketball with him, and he told me he understood Sei-kun was forcing me to say all that stuff. But for Sei-kun to attempt the murder of my best friend, injured my father…it's unforgivable.

I want to prove to her that I was different than when I was a child, I was a child doing stupid things because of my selfishness, I cant help it...the urge to wipe the existence of anything or anyone who gets between her and I, is hard to suppress… nonetheless I have to think it over before I do it. I want to show her that I am different than before…less wild about my threats and more calm, and I have grown into a proper man, capable of taking care of her, so I won't have to chase her. She only runs when being chased after.

But here she is…in the arms of another man. I sighed…she will not forgive a second time, that is if she ever did forgive him for the first time, but I do not want her to run again. It's a pain when she constantly making it extremely difficult to court her, when she is a 'he', and I heard she is thinking of attending a new school when she graduates, knowing well that no one I had connections to would attend their because of their mediocre basketball club. She's smart but all these precautions are just minor setbacks. After all… I always win.

"Hah! Kuroko-kun!" Satsuki hugged Tetsuya after smacking Daiki out the way, it was painfully obvious she liked Tetsuya, in her boyish disguise. Just then it occurred to me that there may be more Kuroko admirers…anyhow I'll have to assert my dominance over all of them, after all she is my betrothed.

"Tch. Another one. How many others are there?"

Hm...how about 4 others (including Kagami)...Idk, guys~ If you like please review, if you didn't well, feel free to correct me or anything, I am new to this fandom, so let me know! Thanks for reading!
