Chapter 1:
When Akashi had introduced Kuroko to Mayuzumi, Kuroko had a blank face. Kuroko then suddenly had a smirk on his face and his eyes turned black. He walked up to Mayuzumi and circled him slowly.
"I see why Akashi chose you to replace Tetsuya, but you won't do." Kuroko dismissed.
"Tetsuya, your eyes…" Akashi said wide-eyed, he expected everything but this.
Kuroko turned to Akashi, "I am not Tetsuya, my given name is Shadow."
"What did you do to Kuroko?!" Kagami demanded as he grabbed the front of Kuroko's shirt and lifted him up.
"Kagami, Tetsuya is here and not at the same time." Shadow informed as he disappeared and appeared in Kagami's shadow.
"What do you mean I won't do?" Mayuzumi demanded.
"You are better than Tetsuya in many ways, but you are not a shadow yet, can you become one is the question." Shadow mused.
"I'm not a shadow?" Mayuzumi said shocked, "But I am like Kuroko but even better!"
"I already said you are not a shadow, but there is a test if you want to become one." Shadow said with a shrug, "Tetsuya endured the whole thing, but I doubt you can."
"He will take the test then Shadow." Akashi said with narrow eyes.
"Are you sure? Both of you should know there is a 99% chance Mayuzumi will die." Shadow said with the smirk back on his face.
"99% chance of dying? Kuroko took such a dangerous test?!" Kagami roared in anger.
"He did it for his friends Kagami, but now he is tied to horrors." Shadow said as he glared at Akashi.
"I will do it, I will live anyways." Mayuzumi said as if he was sure he wouldn't die.
"Very well, Kuroko will be your tester." Shadow said and when he blinked, his eyes were teal once again.
"Mayuzumi Chihiro, you are going to take the shadow test, if you want to back out, please do it now. Also, if you die, your body shall be handed to the Shadow King as a gift." Kuroko said.
"I will take the test, I will not die, Kuroko, I will show you." Mayuzumi said confidently.
"Very well," Kuroko's eyes glowed brightly as he stared at Mayuzumi, "We will begin, stare into my eyes Mayuzumi."
As Mayuzumi stared into his eyes, shadows left their place as they covered Kuroko and Mayuzumi. After a minute it swallowed them whole. The time outside was frozen when the test began.
