I'm not going to repeat myself again and again with the the upcoming chapters... I DO NOT OWN KUROKO NO BASUKE! IF I DID, I WOULD NOT PORTRAY KUROKO AS AN EXTREMELY WEAK CHARACTER! KUROKO NO BASUKE IS RIGHTFULLY OWNED BY TADATOSHI FUJIMAKI. This is a fanfiction, for goodness sake, use your mind! Image is not drawn by me! But I'll be using the image until I am able to find time to draw my own! IT belongs to TheAssasino in DeviantArt and I do have permission to use it!

Summary:

The 'Phantom Player' wasn't the first title Kuroko attained. Before he entered Teiko he was named something else, but only half of the Kiseki no Sedai knows of this. He left at the end of second year, only to return at the last term of third year, though left unnoticed by everyone except for Akashi. How will the GoM react when Kuroko appeared before them with his 'Vigilant' style coming back.

Chapter One

"Watchful," a young boy slumped at the floor, gasping for air as he stared the stoic turquoise blue haired boy, "T-to think that the Vigilante from Tokyo to appear here," the boy smirked to see the player he always wanted to play against.

"I have no idea what you are talking about, Kiyoshi-san," the boy replied as he offered a hand to the opponent. "I am a mere child who wishes to play basketball with children of my age."

Kiyoshi sighed at the comment, "Well, then, let's have some fun~. Ne, Mizuno-chan?" he cheered as he accepted the aid offered.

"Fun?" Mizuno repeated in surprise.

"Hai, hai, basketball is fun, ne?" Kiyoshi confirmed, "Fun that you don't have to play alone and you know you can rely on your teammates, unlike tennis. Baseball is in the middle since it also relies mostly on individual strength when on offense."

"I guess so... It is fun."

"Gah!" a group of first year shouted, "We barely moved five meters in ten minutes!"

"I can't move forward. Bring a snowplow!" one of the first year screamed as leaflets and flyers were shove to his face.

"If you're Japanese you should play baseball!"

"Have you ever played shogi?"
"Swiming! It feels super!"

"That's it! Let's go bulldozer way!" The boy shouted, swinging his arms wildly, almost hitting the turquoise-blue haired boy, who somehow avoided being hitted.

"You're taking it too far, right?" his companion tried to calm him down.

"Do you like books? How about the literature club?" a second year approached the direction of the blue haired boy.

"No, this is manga, so..." the male behind him said.

"Mangas are proper books, tto. You must have read novels as well, right?"

'One, two... Ten so far, maybe we need a bit more.' a hazel haired teen thought. 'I wonder how the invitations are going. Do your best guys!' she mentally cheered.

"I-I brought back a new student..." a student whimpered causing the girl to stare up from the application forms, founding herself shocked at the situation. The boy hanged by the arms of the red-haired juvenile, who stared down uninterested in the stall in general. 'B-brought back? isn't it the other way around!' the girl mentally screamed.

"This is the basketball club, right?" the juvenile asked.

"Y-yeah."

"I think you know already, but the school opened last year, so all upper class men are just second years. Someone of your build will immediately.." the female muttered.

"I don't care about that just give me the paper. I'll write my name and go."

'His middle school is in America. So he trained in the best place. Kagami, Taiga- kun. No matter how much you look at it, he doesn't seem like an average guy.' she stared at the boy in front of her who began to leave.

"Huh, You didn't wrote your goals." the brunnette called at the retreating boy.

"I have none in particular. Basketball in Japan is the same everywhere," he left.

"S-scary! Is that guy really a freshman?" the previously impaled teen slumped over the desk, noticing a piece of paper. "You forgot another application, Coach." He handed the stray parchment to the said 'coach'.

"E-er... Sorry," she looked at the parchment. "Kuroko, Tetsuya... from Teiko Middle School!" she screamed, "I can't believe I forgot the face of a golden egg!"

"Looks like everyone's here."

"Isn't that the manager? She's kinda cute. She's second year, right?"

"If only she's a little more sexy..." the freshmen muttered,only to receive individual hits on the head from the glassed second year.

"You're wrong, idiots!"

"I'm the boy basketball club's coach. Nice to meet you, I'm Aida Riko!" the female greeted.

"EHHHH?!" the first years exclaimed.

"Isn't that the coach?" one pointed out to the elderly man sitting at the edge of the courts, who sincerely waved back.

"That's Takeda-sensei, the club advisor," Riko stated only to receive more disbelieved comments. "Anyway... Take of your shirts!"

"EHHH?!"

"What the hell does this mean?" the freshmen paled as the female coach starts to inspect their body.

"You, your instantaneous strength is too weak. I guess you must be around 50 steps for 20 seconds on the ladder, right? You must improve that if you want to play basketball." the coach pointed. "You, your body is too stiff. Train your flexibility after getting out of the bath. As for you..."

"You're kidding, right?"

"What the hell?"

"Just by looking at your body..."

"The father of that girl is a sports trainer," the glassed second year stated to clear the freshmen's confusion. "It's a skill she gained after spending everyday at her father' workplace while he records data from his clients. By looking at someone's body, she can see his or her ability and stats." 'Though that's not the only reason why Riko is the coach...'

"What?" the red haired freshman groaned.

'What's with his numbers? It's far above everyone else's. Those aren't the stats of a first year high school boy...' the brunette mentally exclaimed, 'On top of that, I can't estimate his potential. This is natural talent!'

"Coach, how long are you going to daydream!" the glassed male shouted.

"O-oh, sorry."

"You saw everyone. That guy was last, huh?"

"Was Kuroko-kun here?" she asked the second years.

"That guy from Teiko Middle School..."

"Teiko? You mean that Teiko?"

"Kuroko? Is Kuroko Tetsuya here?" Riko called out. She sighed as she received no answer. "I guess he's taking a day off today. Well then, let's start practice!"

A hand appeared in front of the brunette, "Sumimasen, watashi ga Kuroko, desu."

"KYAA!" she screamed after a pregnant pause. "S-since when were you here?"

"I was here since the beginning."

"KUROKO!" Kagami shouted heading to the scrawny male.

"Ah, Kagami-kun. It's nice to see you again." he bowed.

"'Nice to see you again,' eh? You didn't even gave a word that you were leaving!" he pulled Kuroko's cheeks.

"Please let go, Kagami-kuu-" the boy stoically stated despite the deformation of his face.

"Pardon from my interruption of your reunion. You can't possibly a regular, right, Kuroko-kun?"

"I have played in matches."

"See? Just I have sai-" the glassed male paused as the information dawned up to him, "E-eh?!"

"Please take of your shirt," Riko calmly asked. 'What does this mean? All his abilities are below average. He looks nothing like a regular of the strongest team!"

"Let's have a 5 vs 5 mini game! Freshmen against second years!" Riko shouted as it rained outside. 'I wonder how our rookies will fare up with them?'

"It's going to be impossible to win! They climb until the final league in their first year!" a freshman shouted in disbelief.

"Oi, oi! It's not the time to be scared," Kagami smirked, "Better the opponent is strong than weak, right?"

"Let's go!" Riko shouted as she threw the ball up, only for it to taken by the tiger, who instantly dunked it to the hoop.

"Woah, woah, that's insane," the glassed man sighed.

"Hyuuga, I think it's time to get serious... The first years are on the lead and Kagami is the only on scoring," the raven eyed male stated as he glanced at the scoreboard.

"Hai, hai, Izuki."

'Rather than this shit, I can't help but get pissed of by Kuroko no matter how much I know how much of a shadow he is!' Kagami mentally raged.

Three second years defended Kagami, ruining his momentum, 'Kuroko! You better start getting serious or else I'll kill you!' The tides turned back to the second years discouraging the freshmen.

"They're really strong after all..." the freshmen glmed.

"Kuroko!" Kagami shouted for the teal haired teen.

"Hai?" Kuroko appeared behind the red haired, earning a yelp of surprise from the poor victim.

"Kuroko! Can you please get serious now?"

"Of course, I'm warmed up enough."

'H-huh? S-since when have that boy been in the game?' Riko paled.

"Excuse me," Kuroko asked his peer, "Can you please pass me the ball?"

"Please don't lose it."

"Hai."

'What is this uncomfortable feeling? Could it be that... Something unthinkable is about to happen?'

He said ball suddenly appeared in front of a fresh men

"Hu-huh?" he took the ball and shot it to the hoop, earning two points.

"T-this is..." Riko muttered, "To think that the rumor is true..." The balls keep appearing out of thin air. "The Phantom Player has enrolled in Seirin!"

"D-damn it," Hyuuga cursed. "We've been focusing too much on those invisible passes."

With one point difference, Kuroko started to get into a shooting position.

'W-wait... Kuroko can't shoot,' Kagami ran to the hoop. "Don't even dare to shoot, Kuroko!"

"Of course, Kagami-kun will be the one to score," Kuroko stated and he threw the ball near the hoop, nly to be caught by the tiger of the court and shot a buzz beater.

"F-freshmen won?!"
