I just wanted to get my ideas out after reading that last chapter of Kuroko no Basuke...it killed me when saw how Akashi was saying all that stuff...writing this also killed me...more like tortured me...but I just had the urge to write it...i do not own Kuroko no Basuke so all quotes from the manga are not mine. Also, please excuse my grammar and spelling mistakes...
"...Mayuzumi Chihiro is the newest model of the phantom sixth man." Akashi exclaimed with a cold voice. "Tets-Kuroko is just a prototype. A failed experiment that didn't show the results the GOM need to really be considered as the GOM."
Kuroko's eyes widened in shock."Aka-Akashi-kun...wh-what are you saying?" Kuroko shakily whispered. He couldn't believe what was going on. His ex-captin, one of his closest friends, had just called him a failure and didn't recognize him as more than just another person among all the other people in the gym. Akashi heard Kuroko's whisper but payed no heed to his words as he was focused on announcing the great news he had received yesterday:
"We, the GOM shall once again be re-united. We have been offered a request to play in the nationals in America as an x-factor. Once this match is finished and Rakuzen is crowned champion, Murasakibara Atsushi, Aomine Daiki, Midorima Shintaro, Kise Rouyta, and our new phantom sixth man Mayuzumi Chihiro shall be staying in America for a year. We promise, that we will come back victorious!"
The crowd was in a uproar, cheers and hollers echoed throughout the gym. The rest of the GOM just stared at their captain, not knowing how they should react or what they should do. Could they really be the GOM without Kuroko? Would they really be able to get along with this, Mayzumi Chihiro guy? Sure he is way better than Kuroko in terms of basketball, but Kuroko was still their beloved friend was he not?
Seirin all stared at their teal haired player. They had to agree with Akashi, Mayzumi Chihiro was way better than Kuroko. Why did Seirin have to get Kuroko on their team? Didn't they deserve only the best, being a new school and all. With Kuroko right now, they would just be brought down. Kuroko is nothing more than dead weight hanging off the backs of Seirin, desperately trying to act useful when everyone knows he is worthless without his lack of presence on the court. It was utterly pitiful and disgusting. They all grimaced as Kuroko looked towards them, tears threatening to fall from his bleary eyes.
"Kuroko-kun, please, leave. We don't want you playing anymore games, and your now moved to 3rd string." Kuroko stared in disbelief at his coach. Why? Why is this happening? What had he done wrong to deserve this treatment? He just wanted to play basketball and improve to help the team, his now treasured friends so why? Why are they turning their backs on him when now is the time he needed them the most? They would always help him get up and help guide him along during practice. Wait...they just helped him during practice. That means he's just a tool used to bring others to success. Nothing that he wants matters. Nothing that he thinks matters, and once he's useless, he's just thrown away and everyone acts like he never existed in the first place. So that's how his life is to others. His mere existence means nothing to the world. Kuroko chuckled darkly as tears began to stream down his face. He lowered his head and walked off but not before Riko called out to him again "Kuroko-ku-san, please leave Nigou with us. He's our mascot, we need him to be here with us during the game! Also I hope you don't mind if I just keep him. That way I can just bring him to practice whenever and you don't have to show up."
Kuroko just stared at her, the tears still falling. His eyes clearly showed hurt and yet Riko just brushed it off, Nigou was much more important than some worthless basketball player that can't even shoot baskets. "So can I?" Riko once again asked though this time in a very irritated tone. She was losing her patience with this piece of trash. If he didn't answer her in three seconds, she will walk up to him, give him a good beating and take Nigou.
"Riko-san. I am keeping Nigou with me. He is my dog. Also I'm going to turn in my basketball resignation form tomorrow." With that, Kuroko silently left the gym all the while hearing cruel insults being yelled at him. He couldn't stop the tears.
"KUROKO TETSUYA YOU FUCKING BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU GO AGAINST COACH! AND ONE MORE THING, DON'T YOU DARE SHOW UP AT PRACTICE TOMORROW WITH YOU SHITTY ASS RESIGNATION LETTER. YOU THINK THAT WE REALLY CARE IF YOUR THERE OR NOT? CAUSE GUESS WHAT SHERLOCK, WE DON'T! YOUR OFF THE TEAM SO DON'T ASSOCIATE WITH US ANYMORE!"
Outside, all of the GOM except for Akashi were waiting for Kuroko. It hurt them to see their beloved friend like this. Even if he is a crappy basketball player one the inside he's a really good person.
"Kuroko/Kurokochii/Kuro-chin/Tetsu, we promise, when we come back from America, we will make everything right. We will prove to Akashi that without you, we can't be called the GOM. Just wait for us Kuroko/Kurokochii/Kuro-chin/Tetsu ok?"
Kuroko looked up at his ex-teammates, eyes widened in surprise. They still loved him. They still cared for him. Him! A being so useless that he can't even make a basket! "Alright! Thanks guys, you know I love you all, and no matter when happens we'll still be friends right?" Kuroko smiled softly, alight blush tinting his cheeks.
"Y-Yeah. Of course! We'll always be friends, now and forever! By the way Tetsu, you should seriously smile like that more. Any man would go gay for you just seeing that smile!" Aomine jokingly stated.
"Yeah, I agree with Aominechii! Kurokochii looks so cute suu~ can you be my waifu?" Kise excitedly exclaimed.
"No Kise-chine, Kuro-chin is going to be my lovely vanilla waifu~" Mursakibara stated lazily, but with a hint of kindness so that it sounded like he cared.
"Wh-What are you guys saying out loud so shamelessly? Look at Kuroko, he's stunned beyond belief that he doesn't even know how to respond to your guys indecent remarks!"
"Ara? Does Mido-chin want Kuro-chin to be his lovely vanilla waifu too?"
"WHA?! N-NOOOO WHAT INDECENCY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT IN PUBLIC?! AND WHAT THE HELL IS A VANILLA WAIFU!?"
"Ah Midorimachii such a tsun!"
"Stupid megane, just admit it, you already gay for Kuroko!"
"THA-"
They stopped their quarreling when they heard a sound that they all longed to hear since middle school. Kuroko was laughing. His laughter rang through the cloudy skies like the tinkering of bells, and his smile lit up his whole face. "I've missed seeing you guys like this." Kuroko stated in between gasps.
Everyone stared at him and went red.
"H-Hey...you think...you think we are all gay for Kuroko?" Aomine whispered to the others. He was met with silence. Aomine looked over at the others and noticed that they were all frozen, staring straight ahead in fear. Aomine looked over too and noticed a certain red hear glaring down at them in disgust.
"Everyone let's go, the plane's waiting for us. Don't worry about your luggage, I've already gotten everything packed up." With that, Akashi strode off.
Everyone looked towards Kuroko and gave him a sheepish smile. "Bye Kuroko/Kurokochii/Kuro-chin/Tetsu, when we come back, we'll finish this conversation and see if we can get Akashi to stop with his harsh attitude."
Kuroko looked at them sadly and waved his hand. "Have fun everyone." he silently whispered to their retreating figures.
AFTER ONE YEAR
Kuroko waited excitedly at the airport for his friends. They were coming back home today and he couldn't wait to ask them how America was. He also wanted to thank them because the only thing that stopped him from completely breaking down was their comfort. Kuroko looked towards the terminal gate and was about to yell "Welcome Back" but what he saw halted all his actions.
Everyone, was laughing and smiling like they had done before in Teiko. Even Akashi was smiling. The cause for this cheerfulness was none other than Mayuzumi Chihiro.
Kuroko's heart pounded painfully in his chest. His eyes widened and he couldn't breathe. He felt like he was going to suffocate.
The new GOM walked past him without so much as a glance, treating him as though he was just another ordinary person at the airport. Kuroko fell to the ground. When he tried to stand up, his legs betrayed him and he fell down again. Why, why why why? They promised him. They promised him that they would still be there for him so why? Why did they not notice him? Why did they not look at him? Could they have just missed him by accident?
Kuroko quickly looked at the disappearing figures hoping that that was the case. He found his strength and ran towards them with all his strength.
"Akashi-kun, Aomine-kun, Kise-kun, Murasakibara-kun, Midorima-kun! Welcome back!"
All five of them turned around and stared at Kuroko like he was crazy.
"Wh-What?" Kuroko stuttered. He did not like this atmosphere. Not one bit."
"Well you see Kuroko-san (this is Kise talking) while we were all in America, we learned that you are worthless and that you aren't even a good friend. Look at Mayuzmichii. He's better than you at basketball, he's a better friend than you, so basically, you can never beat him."
"Yeah, like Kise said, Chi here is the best shadow and friend I can ever get. You amount to nothing when it comes to him."
With that, everyone returned to their cheerful chatter and left Kuroko standing in the airport, all by himself.
"Eve-Everyone...Why?" Kuroko collapsed and blacked out.
The next morning, Kuroko prepared for a show that he though up last night. It would be a very happy show that will make everyone smile. That's all Kuroko wanted. He just wanted everyone to be happy. He chuckled to himself. Yes, he was going to perform an amazing magic show where he, the magician will disappear! This will make everyone happy. He smiled again and hummed a cheerful tune as he tied a rope around his neck. He then delicately climbed on top of the dinning table and tied the other end of the rope to the ceiling fan. "And now the curtains shall fall on a tool that has been discarded" Kuroko gayly stated to no one in particular, a goofy grin adorning his face. With that, he closed his eyes, hummed a tune from future line, them joyfully kicked the dinner table out from underneath him.
With this, everyone shall be happy.
Hope it was ok...i'm sorry...i'm really sorry...but like I said I just had to write this...
