Juliessa: This is my first Kuroko no Basket fanfiction and I hope you find interest in it. As for Akakuro fan, I'm a Kagakuro and Akafuri fan, so I'm sorry if you don't like Akafuri plot. But, there may be or may be not some Akakuro moments like flashback.

P.S: ' ' means their thoughts.

Quarter 1: It had ended. No, it's not even started yet.

If someone asked Furihata Kouki what was the biggest blessing of her life, she would say having a certain guy as her boyfriend was the biggest blessing of all time. After all he was a star, who she could only look up to, but accidental fall into her hands, from the sky.

It was at the start of the spring. The weather was pleasantly warm, but not at one place, the entrance of Seirin High School. The intense cold atmosphere wrapped around a red-headed boy could be able to kill anyone who passed through it. He laid against the school gate waiting for someone, to be exact, his runaway girlfriend.

'Tetsuya, do you think you can get free from me just because you go to another school without telling me? I'm surprised that despite all those years we have been together, you still can naive sometimes and underestimate me.'

His heterochromatic eyes searched for his blue-headed girl through the crowd that had just escaped from the boring classrooms. It did not take him much time to find the pale shadow girl. Finally she arrived before him. As usual her expressionless face wore the same emotionless face as if she did not surprised seeing him at all.

"Good afternoon, Akashi-kun," she started the greeting.

"Good to see you again, Tetsuya," Akashi Seijuurou moved toward her. "You're as difficult as ever. But that's what I like about you." He grinned a little. " Are you thinking that you would gain my interest more by running away from me?"

"I'm sorry but I've no intension to do so. I believe that we'd already broken up. And I'm free to go any school I like." She looked at him.

"I don't think we're over. After all, the breaking up thing is all your idea." Akashi replied. "Let's talk somewhere else. This isn't a good place for a serious talk." He walked to a black limousine parked just out the school gate. Kuroko followed silently.

"Hikari-chan, don't throw it!" A brunette ran backward, trying to catch a book her friend threw. "Almost get it. Almost get it!" She reached out for the flying object. "I got it!" She jumped, grabbed the book and hugged it tightly. She fell down toward the girl of the leaving couple, Akashi Seijuurou and Kuroko Tetsuya.

BAMP!

"Ouch!" The same exclamation escaped from both of the girls. Kuroko was lying on the ground with her face, facing the ground while the brunette, Furihata Kouki was sitting on her back, looking awkwardly at the crowd who were currently silent because of the sudden accident.

"Oh my god! I'm sorry. Furihata looked down to find the girl beneath her. "Kuroko-chan, are you alright?" She stood up, reached out for Kuroko's hand and helped her stand up.

"I'm fine, Furihata-chan." Kuroko replied with a tiny smile. Apparently, both of them were managers of Seirin basketball teams.

"Are you sure? Is there any part you hurt? Let me take you to the school clinic." She looked at her friend worriedly. Kuroko was always pale, thin and seemed to break down at any moment. Everyone who knew her always thought if she had enough nutrition.

"Tetsuya, you're okay? I'll take you to the nearest hospital and let the doctor check your body." Akashi took her hand. "And as for you, you've got enough gut to hurt her like that." Furihata was shocked by the murderous aura around him. She silently looked up at him but before she realized, a boy pulled her and a pair of scissors passed beside her cheek.

"Hey, Furi, are you alright?" The young man who grabbed her asked. It was Kagami Taiga, who was in the same year as her and also part of the basketball team. A scratch was formed on her right cheek by the scissors. Blood ran down from the wound. The girl could not say a word. She was trembling in fear of the boy standing with blood-stained scissors before her. Several drops of tears flowed down from her eyes. "Furi!", "Furihata-chan" Kagami and Kuroko shouted.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kagami grabbed the collar of the smaller teen. The dark ruby orbs stared into the red and yellow ones. They stared for seconds and then Akashi replied. "How weak. I'm just teaching her a lesson what would happen if one tries to hurt Tetsuya." He showed no sorrow or regret of what he had done and it made Kagami more pissed off. A nerve popped out from his temple.

"Akashi-kun, please stop it. It's just an accident." Kuroko tried to separate the two boys. "You're making a scene." She pulled one of Kagami's arms. "Kagami-kun please put him down." Kagami glanced at her and sighed. "Fine." He put him down. "I don't know who you are, but don't treat my friends like this." He turned around, picking Furihata, who was still in shocked, up and took her to the school clinic. The other two left silently, too.

"You shouldn't do like this, Akashi-kun. It's so childish. That's why I'm getting tired of you." Kuroko's monotonous voice appeared as soon as they had settled down in an expensive cafe. Akashi said nothing. He ordered his coffee and looked at Kuroko with an expression of what-is-your-order.

"You're transferring to Rakuzen next week. I've ordered my men to take care of the paperwork." Kuroko stared at him.

"No, Akashi-kun, I'm never coming back to you." said Kuroko. There was a pregnant silent until the waiter came back with their orders. Akashi took a slip of his black coffee. He smiled a little. To those who did not know him, that was just a smile, but to Kuroko, who had knew Akashi for so long; it meant troubles were coming in her direction. She trembled inwardly.

"Fine. I'll let you go." Kuroko could not believe Akashi was willing letting her go. There might be some deal. She narrowed her large sky-blued-eyes just for a second, but Akashi did not miss her curiosity. "But remember Tetsuya, there's no one, NO ONE suits you like me. Not even Aomine." Kuroko frowned hearing the word 'Aomine'. He was her crush, who never noticed her, back in middle school.

They continued no more and enjoyed the great coffee. After taking her final sip, Kuroko got up and turned to the door to leave. "I hope we meet again so soon. Enjoy your school life, Tetsuya." Shiver ran through Kuroko's body. "Goodbye, Akashi-kun." She bid farewell and walked out of the cafe.

Juliessa: Thanks for reading, everyone. Review will be candies for me.
