[Kuroko's Basketball + Hikaru No Go] Named for the Eyes

[My name is your eye color, so I was born destined to be your protector.] The blue-eyed kite who had always obeyed Akashi's orders and protected Kuroko left him these words before disappearing. On the day Kuroko Tetsuya received his university acceptance letter, he woke up to find himself back in his Teiko Middle School classroom, just before graduation. And so, here, history quietly took a turn. But he didn't realize that no matter how many times he started over, those who loved him would remain steadfast, their hearts unshaken. At the same point in history, Hikaru Shindo, who had long since lost the thousand-year-old spirit who had once accompanied him, quietly returned to the same past. If his first life had been a dramatic game, full of joy and pain, then in this second life, he wanted to live quietly, like still water. He wanted to spend his life in peace, and see once more, while he was still alive, the spirit who had always lived in his heart. But he did not see the lonely, desolate, resentful figure of the person who had once considered him his lifelong rival, still pursuing him with unwavering determination. Here, history quietly strayed from its original course. That thing called love quietly took root that year. Seven chapters, seven opening lines. Put them together and you'll find the answer. When the eighth chapter appears, happiness will last forever. In one sentence: With your eyes as my name, I will protect you for life. ※ P.S. Please note: 1. The setting has been adjusted a little, but it won't affect your general understanding. Essentially, nothing has changed; a few things are simply revealed earlier, such as the fact that the characters have been reborn. 2. Kuroko reborn: GET. Hikaru Shindo reborn: GET. Reborn duo: GET. 3. There is an original character with a cross-dressing fetish. The gender on this person's ID card is listed as unknown, so please ignore it. 4. I don't know much about basketball or Go, so please bear with me. The romance is the main focus. Timeline: 1. Before being reborn: Follows the original story. In high school, Kuroko discovers the blue-eyed kite who protects him and they become friends. The kite disappears in the second semester of their second year. 2. After being reborn: Kuroko quits the team, then completes his rebirth. He finds the blue-eyed kite, who also attends Teiko, and they become friends. After graduation, the kite goes abroad. Kuroko enrolls at Seirin again. The kite returns to Japan, and the story begins here. Kuroko: Shindo-kun, do you hear something? Shindo: I hear someone knocking... It seems to be your former teammates. Oh, and A-Yuan too. Kuroko: In that case, please pretend you didn't hear anything... Ah, Shindo-kun, your phone is ringing. Shindo: ...It's a call from Taya. Well, please pretend you didn't hear anything, too. Both: It's a pleasure doing business with you. Don't believe that ridiculous excuse in Chapter One. A-Yuan is a boy through and through... I wonder how many people were fooled, hehe? Pairings: The Generation of Miracles/Kuroko + Original protagonist/Kuroko, Akira/Hikaru, Hyou/Hi, Kiba/Hana.
