A/n: This will be a multi-chapter fic, it's something I thought of while I was in my history class. I don't know why though. I hope you enjoy!

"Safe is a meaningless word, you can never be safe…" Kuroko thought sadly as he was hit by a powerful punch to his jaw. He started counting how many punches it would take before he would stop living his meaningless life. The next punch was not to his jaw, but to his stomach. Kuroko slid down the wall, as his feet could not hold himself up any longer.
"Why me?... What the hell did I ever do?..."
The man hovering above the blue haired boy pulled out a knife and grabbed Kuroko's right wrist and started to cut letters into his skin. "Worthless" the cuts read. Kuroko didn't mind the pain, it wasn't as bad as the emotional abuse that he had suffered the last four months. He didn't care if his arm was now covered and dripping with blood from the wound where the knife impaled his once flawless skin.
"I broke my promises, to Kagami…To the team… To everyone… I really am worthless, aren't I?" Kuroko said to himself under his breath. The man suddenly kicked Kuroko in the ribs and yelled at him to get up. The bluenette didn't feel like fighting anymore as he did his best to stand up, his feet hurting as they supported his weight. The man abruptly moved his hands toward Kuroko's crotch and squeezed rather forcefully, he then lifted up Kuroko's shirt exposing his nipples. In seconds, Kuroko's basketball shorts were on the ground. The shadow didn't care anymore, he didn't care if he was being raped, and he didn't care what happened to him anymore. All he wanted was to be left alone and not to be hurt anymore, physically and emotionally. Once again, Kuroko found himself crying. He didn't know why, he gave up trying to figure himself out these past four months. Suddenly the man in front of him was thrown to the side after being punched in the face, but by who?
"Kuroko..." a voice called out, a different voice from the man who had raped him. This voice was reassuring and had worry laced within it. Kuroko looked up to see who had saved him, his face streaming with tears.
"Kagami…?" Kuroko choked out between sobs. In a flash, strong arms were wrapped around the shadow, holding him tight. The red hair, red eyes and strong build, indeed added up to Kagami Taiga. "I wanna go home now…" Kuroko whispered as Kagami pulled away and looked at Kuroko's face that clearly contained sadness and depression.
"I'll take you home Tetsuya, you can trust me. I'm here for you..." Kagami replied. Kuroko started walking, trying desperately to ignore the throbbing pain in his feet and legs, and in seconds fell to the floor in a heap."Tetsuya!" Kagami yelled as he saw his blue haired friend fall.
Four hours later Kuroko slowly opened his eyes, instantly closing them because of the light that was surrounding him. Kuroko rubbed his head, eyes open now fully as he was getting use to the light.
"Why are you here?" Kuroko asked the tall figure standing over him.
"Don't tell me you don't remember?" Kagami replied, his voice giving away some of his shock. Kuroko shook his head. "You passed out as you started walking, so I took you back to your house."
"Oh… Thank you Kagami… I appreciate it" Kuroko whispered, barely loud enough for the red haired teen to hear. Suddenly a tear ran down his cheek, soon being followed by more. Kagami took the younger boy into his arms and held him as he cried. As the strong arms wrapped around Kuroko, he felt comforted, it felt warm, and it felt right. "It's been so long..." He thought, "Since I actually felt… Safe…"
