"Bye! We'll see you tomorrow!" chorused the teens while waving at a certain teal haired basketball player.

Kuroko turned back and wave at them with one of his rare smiling faces. He was happy that the Generation of Miracles, Momoi, and Kagami decided to hang out today. Then Kuroko turned back and continued walking. He saw the light turn green and then began to cross the road. Then it happened. HONK! HONK! The bus horned as the large vehicle lost control with its brakes. Kuroko looked to his side. He saw a blinding light and heard his friends scream. He froze in fear and then could feel the pain shoot up his body. He saw his friends' faces. He reached out his hand to touch each of their faces, and then closed his eyes. Before closing his eyes, he whispered, "I am the Shadow and you are my Lights."

"Kuroko! You said that you were going to bring me to the top! You didn't finish that yet so you can't leave yet..Kuroko! Please answer me…" said a certain red head as he clutched the smaller boy's hand.

"Tetsu! You left us once, don't leave us again! TETSU!" roared the dark skinned dark blue haired basketball player as he took Kuroko's other hand and held it close to his chest.

"Kurokochi! KUROKOCHI! You said that we were always going to be together from now on…Don't leave us like this…" whispered the blond model as he gently smoothed the teal hair of the phantom player.

"Kuro-chin! You didn't teach me to love basketball yet… Don't leave us yet…" whimpered a violet haired two meter tall giant while crying on the phantom player's chest which was beating slower and slower.

"Tetsuya! Don't you dare close your eyes! I command you!" said the crimson haired emperor as tears streamed down his cheeks while he touched Kuroko's cold face when Kise let go of the boy's face.

"Kuroko-kun! You can't leave us now! Not when we need you!" said the green haired tsundere as she gripped the fragile boy's shoulders.

"Tetsu! You can't leave us! Everyone is together like you wanted them to be. We're all together again. Tetsu!" cried a pink haired girl who was desperately crying while gently hugging the boy's head.

Kuroko heard his friends and fluttered his eyes open. He once again closed his eyes and gave them another one of his smiles.
