Hey! First of all, I want you to know that english IS NOT my mother tongue and I tend to make a lot of mistakes. I wanted to trained myself so I ended up writing a fanfic about Kuroko no Basket. I'm not sure if I will be able to continue it since it's just a test for now... so, please, do not hesitate to point all my spelling mistakes so that I can improve myself!

And who knows, I might perhaps end this FF if I succeed in progressing! Haha

Whatever. Let's move on the story~

CHAINED - Prologue

He was running through the alleys, panting as if his lungs were about to spurt out. Electric blue strands of hairs were flying behind him while he ran like his life was on the line. His stamina would drain off soon, but the teen didn't seem to give up. The darkness of his surroundings didn't help. He could barely see the end of the paths.

"Please…. please!" he prayed without knowing who he was begging. He just wanted his nightmare to be over. He just wanted to go home. All he could do was to run without stopping until he was sure his pursuers weren't on his tracks anymore. The boy didn't see the large crack on the tar, and his body followed his fall to the ground. The pain on his knees and elbows made him clench his teeth, keeping himself from screaming. He couldn't let them know where he was.

He lifted his chin up, his eyes filled with horror, laid on the wall standing in front of him. "No!" he shouted. He tried to got up, when a violent pain took him on his right foot. He froze, realizing that he could not run anymore. Right at this moment, a light thud echoed behind him where two silhouettes were facing the young man. He could easily recognize the two of the four loyal dogs of the Rakuzan District's leader. Tears threatened to come out of his panicked eyes.

The taller one stepped forward, his expression sadly darkened. "Tetsu..."

"Don't come near me!" he yelled, backing-up. The tanned didn't listen and took another step over the wounded teen instead. "Tetsu, please. I don't want to hurt you."

"Then leave me alone." He finally succeeded to get up but his body refused to stay in balance. The second pursuer joined his partner after a long hesitation. His golden eyes sparkled with sorrow when he looked at the bluenette. "Kurokocchi."

"Calm down, we just-"

"Go away!"

He backed up again, only to collide with the freshness of the wall. One look at his left showed him a way to make it out. After two or three seconds staying still, he tried to ignore the suffering of his foot and jumped right on one of the trash cans sited in the corner of the alley in order to reach the top. "TETSU!"

A loud shot gun echoed through the neighborhoods, and the teen fell heavily on the bitumen. He could not restrain his shout this time. He was almost there…!

"As always, you are too soft Daiki." a voice raised behind them. They were welcomed by the sight of a green haired man at first, whose they could notice the weapon he was holding in his hand. And then Kuroko slowly slipped his wide-opened eyes on the person he never wanted to see again. Crimson locks, heterochromatic orbs that was piercing his own gaze to his soul and that mischievous smirk he wore permanently… Kuroko stopped breathing. "Nice shoot, Shintarou."

The latter only let a small "hum" in response. Kuroko winced, his hand on his shoulder where blood began to stain his clothes. He knew the gunman didn't miss him, he precisely aim for a spot that was not vital. They wanted him alive.

The red-haired calmly approached him, his murderous stare never leaving Kuroko's. The bluenette turn around, searching for any loophole that could help him to run away from this dangerous man. Unfortunately for Kuroko, there was none.

"Tetsuya" said the red-haired crouching down to the smaller. He raised his arm towards his cheeks, wiping away the salty line where a tear was silently flowing. Kuroko did not move, not that he could anyway. He was already chained by the golden and red eyes that were planted in his own.

"Did you really believe you could escape from me?" the leader asked, his threatening smile still on his lips. Kuroko shivered. "A-Akashi-kun… please…"

Akashi shushed him, putting one finger over his trembling mouth. "It's okay, I forgive you." He cupped his soft skin with his hands, bringing their faces closer. Kuroko began to sob. He did not want to show this side of him in front of Akashi, who could only be satisfied with the sight of him being weak and totally powerless. Then, the leader's grip got firmer. He slammed his forehead against his, "Or is it what you wanted to hear?"

"Wha-"

He had no time to comprehend what the red-haired just said. The hand previously on his cheek was now tightly clutched around his neck. Kuroko choked forthwith. "Where are your manners Tetsuya? Leaving us like this… how rude. You could have left a word." Akashi smiled.

"Aka-shi…! I-I can't..." Kuroko tried to free his throat from his grasp, which seemed to only amuse the other.

"That won't do, Tetsuya. You need to be punished after all."

"Please-!" He was cut off by a violent blow right in his stomach. The pain lasted two seconds, just enough for the young man to be overwhelmed by darkness. The last thing he knew, he was falling on Akashi's shoulder. The latter looked down at the boy he was holding in his arms. He could see the multiple injuries that were covering his body, leaving him with the guess that Kuroko must have used up all his energy to end up in this state…

His lips widened in a soft smile that only he could see. Slowly, he turned to his men who were quietly watching their interaction since the beginning. He saw the sadness in which their gaze were diving. He could not blame them though.

"Call Atsushi" he said, exiting the gloomy alley, barely enlightened by the gleam of the lampposts. He gave one last glance towards his precious captive.

"It's time to go back."
