Title: Serving the Demon

Summary: When Kuroko Tetsuya had lost everything, he had no more purpose in life. He wandered aimlessly and collapsed in a demon's territory (?) —and that had turned his life around. Will this mysterious man be able to melt the ice surrounding the demon's heart? (The answer is obvious) AU! DEMON! Akashi x Kuroko.

Note: I don't know about you but I think plot bunnies are trying to do some sort of world domination by taking over your mind and bug you to write another damn story. Meh. Anyways, enjoy this story! It will be full of sweetness and fluff! (except for this chapter)

Chapter 1

Meeting the Demons

~o0o0o0o0o~

Red, hot, devastation, horror, pain, dead, tears, loved ones, dead, all alone, dead —these were the things that wrapped around Kuroko Tetsuya's mind. Bodies of everyone precious to him lay on the ground, silent and unmoving, they no longer had life. His usual blunt façade shattered under the sight.

"Mi…nna…" He muttered. Tears trickled down his face and dropped to the ground. The boy clamped his mouth, stopping his own voice to come out. He wheezed and shouted with all his might as his hands still cover his mouth. He knelt to the ground; eyes closed shut, tears gushing out non-stop.

Every one of his closest friends—now lifeless! Just because his family was wealthy—just because he was needed to be protected—just because he was a considered to be a she—just because they love him—JUST BECAUSE HE TURNED DOWN A MARRIAGE OFFER! This had to happen. Tetsuya felt never felt like this before. This was a first for his. It was hard to take-in that everyone—his mother, father, the maids and butlers, Riko, Kiyoshi, Kagami, Hyuuga, and everyone—died.

Tetsuya felt that it was the right thing to do if he turned down Haizaki-kun's marriage offer—but he didn't picture it out to be like this. The mansion was burning in crimson red, perfectly blending with the blood around the area. The sound of wood crackling was heard, ashes and debris were around, bodies of his loved ones were there—there was nothing left. The things he was supposed to inherit was in the mansion and that mansion itself, was gone. It's now burned down to ashes.

Where was he going to live? Help is far from coming since the mansion was hidden in the forest. His body shivered in sadness and a few seconds later, he was still. The light in his eyes were long gone and he stared disbelievingly at the ground. He wanted to cry more but he can't produce anymore tears—rather, his body doesn't want to.

He stood up, his midnight blue suit torn apart from the twigs and branches. The jacket he was supposed to be wearing apparently got caught fire when he was escaping the mansion. The stitches supporting his suit were also near to snapping. There were no spare clothes, so he had no more comfortable ones than the one he was wearing.

His teal blue eyes locked in a distance. He took a step, followed by another, then another, until he was already running at full speed. He had no idea what he was doing other than running as fast as he could with no idea of going where. The burning light slowly faded and the next this Tetsuya noticed was that, he was in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by tall trees.

He suddenly shuddered when cold air made contact with his skin. He needed to go back.

Tetsuya started to walk aimlessly. He didn't feel like caring of where he was headed. Pack of wolves passed by him, and didn't seem to notice the boy.

A sinking feeling clenched in the boy's chest; it was a wish from his inner feelings: Please just let me die too… Let me come with them.

Tetsuya seemed to agree at the suggestion coming from himself. He was still shivering because of the cold temperature—which was for the better since it was easier to die that way.

He walked and walked and walked—ignoring his bodies' protests. He was tired, filled with fatigue, thirsty, hungry, and dying. The teal haired male still paid no heed of attention to it and kept moving forward. The corners of his eyes started to make black dots—and it grew bigger and bigger until his vision was filled with the color black.

It was already game over. Tetsuya's fragile body fell onto the ground, curling into a fetal position as if trying to protect himself—but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. He decided for nature to take it over for him.

"Aka-chin would be mad if he sees a human~~"

"It's not my fault! He was dying!"

"OI! You better start making an explanation."

"But!~~"

"Stop whining, you brought this to yourself."

Tetsuya's eyes fluttered open. He was fine. The pain all over his body seemed to feel better. He overheard the conversation from whoever-they-were and tried to move about.

"Ou! You shouldn't move around too much." The blonde being carefully said. He looked like your average person but he had dangerous-looking fangs and horns. His eyes were full of care for the teal haired male—speaking of eyes, the white parts were black and his yellow pupils seemed to glow. The guy tried to lift his hands. Heavy. He thought.

"You're body is still adapting to the environment." Said the blonde being.

Behind him a tanned one emerged. Same features applied to him, with the exception of him having midnight blue hair. He had the same concerned face as the blonde one. On Tetsuya's right, two more figures emerged; one green head with glasses and bandaged fingers and one purple head with chips at hand.

"This territory is what makes your body feel heavier." The green head supplied.

"H-How did you..?" Tetsuya stammered.

"A normal human is not able to walk—let alone move in a place full of darkness and malice. It takes weeks for them to move. But a special one can move about within a matter of minutes if they hold special powers."

He directed his eyes instead to each stranger. They look familiar, that's for sure. The guy didn't even feel the least bit scared that he was infront of strangers. Where has he seen them? He wondered.

"Ne, ne! What's your name?! I'm Kise Ryouta!" Kise chirped.

"Ku-Kuroko… Kuroko Tetsuya…" He softly spoke. And, much to his surprise, his body felt lighter and finally sat up. The rest of the group was also surprised. So that guy has a special ability.

"What are you exactly..?" The tanned one commented.

The teal haired male sighed. I guess there's nothing more to hide… "I am the guardian of this forest." He closed his eyes and wind came in. Leaves and flowers rushed inside and covered the guy in a form of a tornado. His tattered clothing were then replaced by a casual wear, "My mother was the previous guardian… but she just passed away… together with the rest of my family…" He only muttered the last part so that none would hear it aside from himself.

It was supposed to be kept as a secret but now that he no longer had any other more blood relatives, he just had to spill it. His family has been protecting this forest from harm ever since the beginning. He has the power to manipulate the things around him but that can only happen when he reaches the age of 20—and he's still 18.

"Anyways, what are the names of the rest?" He monotonously asked, unfazed by the glare he received from the tanned one.

"Tch. Aomine Daiki."

"Murasakibara Atsushi"

"Midorima Shintarou"

The guy bowed to the three and returned his gaze to the blonde, "What are you guys?"

"WE ARE DEMONS!" He proclaimed, earning a slap from Aomine, "Aho! Why did you even have to say that?!" The tanned reprimanded.

"Kurokocchi" —"Kurokocchi?" Tetsuya interjected but ignored— "told us his secret and I'm just returning the favor!" Kise retorted back, rubbing the bump at the back of his head.

Aomine snorted and went out of the place. Midorima examined the guy further, his glasses gleaming rather eerily. Kuroko wasn't able to react properly though.

"You should've just let me die out there." Tetsuya blurted. The rest looked at his, stunned of what he had just said, "You should've let me die." He repeated.

"Why? Because we're demons!?" Kise exploded. The teal haired male half expected that to be the answer, but from his response, it was somewhat offensive in their case.

"Because I was supposed to die!" The guy shouted.

They were left speechless right after.

"ALL OF THE ONES I LOVED ARE DEAD! I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE!" He let out a tantrum all over, but a question left hanging in their heads… 'All of his loved ones died?'

Tetsuya covered his now tear tainted face with his hands, "Do you have any idea that it is hard for me to make friends..?"

"Aren't we friends already?" The blonde commented. "I mean, I already called you by a nick name so doesn't that make us friends?"

"I don't mean to ruin the atmosphere… but Akashi's here." Aomine announced.

In an instant, Kise turned to stone then 1... 2… 3…

"WHAT AM I GOING TO DOO?! OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD! AKASHICCHI IS GOING TO KILL ME!" The blonde ran in circles, hysterical for the arrival of his boss. Tetsuya eyed the other people in the place. The green head, Midorima, fixed his eyeglasses and he was profusely sweating. The purple head, Murasakibara, remained lazy eyes, popping a chip or two in his mouth from time to time. The tanned one, Aomine, had a panicked look.

A gush of wind came inside from the opening (They were in a nice cave). The first thing Tetsuya saw were a pair majestic black wings and a pair of captivating hetero-chromatic crimson red and golden yellow eyes. He wore a long sleeved black button-up shirt, black slacks and dark brown Italian shoes. But like the rest of the beings around him, he also had horns and dangerous fangs.

"Ryouta, what an earth are you…" The red head trailed off at the sight of the teal haired male in casual clothing. "Who are you and what are you doing in my territory?"

Inside, Tetsuya felt like running because of the dark glare he was receiving, but on the outside, his face remained impassive. Gulping, he finally answered, STILL in a monotonous manner, "My name is Kuroko Tetsuya. Your subordinate over here"—he gestured to the panicking Kise—"rescued me from death."

The red head folded his wings—and disappeared at that—then, strode over to the human. With his finger, he tilted the male's head to the side. "Get out of my territory." He darkly whispered.

"No" was his stern reply. "I no longer have a place to stay, and this is my territory."

The leader of the demons muttered something before pulling back, now smirking at the man before him. "You are interesting, indeed. You are to stay, on my condition… We are going to live in another place, under my rules, and you shall be attending this school…"
