His love. His lies. His Promised.
Hi. This is my first fic of AkaKuro. To be honest I did hesitate a lot of times whether if I should post this story or not. I am trying to stick with their original characteristics and attitude, and I hope I can give justice to that. Some words like honorifics and common Japanese words are used to be able to portray the character as it is, specially their distinctive attitude. The story is focus on romance, hurt, comfort, angst and maybe sensual scenes haha – I am just new in writing about these two awesome characters, so I guess it will depend on how the story goes on. MPREG is still undecided yet, because I cannot promise if I can even give justice on it. I specifically do not want the characters to go on OC as much as possible I will do my best in writing this one. Thank you and I hope you enjoy

Sun Down and Prick Thorns
He was very lonely when you he came into his life. His already slaved life, although he can't find the way out of that misery, he should've known that the last thing this misery of his wants is to not be apart from him. Not now nor he have never entertained such things that his heart would never even agree or his mind would never let him escape.
It was summer night, but it was raining in a dark room with blood shedding all over the shiny floors that tinted with angry color of hatred, pain and remorse. To see someone lying in bed of rose is the ugliest thing he saw in his entire life. He knew it was him, it was him standing holding a dagger smiling like a naughty child. There is no hint of fear when he saw him. What he felt that time is pity and disgust breathing around the four corners of the wall. A man started talking.
"So you finally arrived. It's good to see you."
The man smiles sweetly like he did nothing despising at all. He began to talk again.
"Are you here to see him or to see me perhaps?"
There was an eerie aura emitting out of the man who's holding a dagger. And the teal head felt panic inside him.
"I feel very bad about what happened. I didn't mean to hurt him. We were just having a good talk when he tried to stab me with his well sharped knife, luckily to say…"
He paused for a minute and started to grin devilishly.
"He wasn't smart enough to kill me. But I was, right?"
Suddenly the teal head gathered all of his courage and begin to talk.
"What is your reason for doing this?"
Those words are the only ones who came out of his mouth and on the last he choked. He feels like in a matter of second he will immediately lose his consciousness.
"You know why I did this, aren't you happy? You can be with me now."
The room suddenly filled with his vicious laugh the teal head doesn't want to hear. He started to walk towards the teal head and his body started to act in defense at the same time trembling.
"Aww look at you fragile as flower, even if you put thorns around yourself it's still useless. Can't you just behave and act properly like how your parents raised you?"
He gave him an icy glare. He just can't believe that this man did this hideous crime. The teal head swear that he will never forgive him.
"You-are-so-disgusting! You can kill me if you want, but not now or today because I swear you will pay for this!"
"Ara – aren't ya already brave now. Hah! How challenging.
He saw some lights coming from the outside passing through the window starting to flash at the room while the sound of siren travels from afar. The evil man looked at the window and stared again at teal head who's looking at him sharply.
"I must bid my farewell for now. Looks like they have noticed the love letter I sent them. I will leave you for now. Be soon prepared as I claim my full reward."
"Don't you ever come back if you do, I will definitely kill you –"
The sirens got louder as it gets closer to the place.
"– san."
He smiled evilly before he said the teal heads name lingering in his disgusting mouth.
"Goodbye Ku-ro-ko-Tet-su-ya."
He suddenly disappeared and was nowhere to be found inside the room. The teal head began to walk to the place where a man lies gushing with his blood. A drop of tear started to fall in his eye.
"How-how did it end-up like this. I only want you and kasan to be with me. You promised me you will never leave my side right?!"
His voice was deafening hoping that the man who promised him, that he will stay by the teal head side will able to hear the words he has said. Suddenly his tears began to flow freely down his cheeks. He can't help but cry. He can't help but feel sad. He can't help but feel weak.
"What should I do now."
The teal head continued crying silently, not noticing there are people who already arrived at the darkest and saddest place the teal head has ever known.
"Tetsuya!"
A redhead with mismatched eyes began to run at his side wearing a worried face while catching his breath.
"Tetsuya are you hurt? What happened to you?"
All that the teal head can do is stare at floor with blood not even seeing his reflection. A pink head woman gasp when he saw a man lying in his own blood. The redhead began to cover the teal head's eyes filled with tears with hands.
"Who's fault is this? What on earth happened here?"
The pink head woman asked.
A greenhead man wearing glasses began to walk closely to the man who's lying on the cold floor. He put his 2 fingers on the man's neck to check the pulse and slowly closed his eyes with a sorrow look.
"He's dead several minutes ago."
The pink head cried.
"Ji-chan – why him!"
"Shintaro, call Daiki and the rest I will take Tetsuya back to Teiko."
The teal head suddenly went back to his senses when he heard the word Teiko coming from the redhead. The teal head answered softly.
"N-no."
"Tetsuya? What did you say?"
The redhead tried to confirm if he heard him right.
"I said no. I need to find him! I've got to find him! He needs to pay for this! He needs –"
The teal was stopped by the redhead sudden action. He carried him like a bride, and the teal head tries to escape from his hold, but the redhead firmly holds him tight enough to not get away.
"Shintaro."
The greenhead man throws a small plastic bottle to the redhead and took one small pill. The redhead placed the pill on his mouth and began to crash his lips against the teal head.
"Hmm –"
The redhead forced his lips and began to part it. The teal head was doing his best not to swallowed the pill the redhead was force feeding him.
"Aka – hmmm"
He finally entered inside the teal head's mouth and explored it like wonders. The teal head did not even notice that he already swallowed the pill. The redhead began to dominate by swirling his tongue. The kiss was very passionate, full of concern and sadness. He deepens the kiss to the extent that they can't breathe anymore. The teal head guessed that the redhead is hoping that his passionate kiss will diminish all his negative emotions. Finally, he broke the kiss and a string of saliva turn out to be the proof of evidence to their passionate kiss. They gasp some air while breathing heavily. The redhead spoke while catching his breath.
"I'm so sorry Tetsuya, I am very sorry."
He said those words wearing a sorrowful face. Tetsuya's vision began to blur probably cause by the pill. He cannot hear the words Akashi was saying and felt the heaviness of his eyelids betraying him. Finally, sleep came and claimed him. Akashi was thankful enough to see his beloved Tetsuya rest for a while.
"Akashi-kun will Tetsu-kun be alright?"
Akashi started to caressed his Tetsuya's face and sighed.
"I hope so. He will, once we get back to Teiko."
"I called Takao and we will be going to begin our work once my team is here."
The greenhead reported.
"We will give him a proper burial before we bury the leader of Kuroko clan. We will discuss everything later at the meeting."
A nod coming from the greenhead was his reply. They heard a noise coming from the hallway and they exactly know who are those people.
"Kurokochiii ~"
A certain yellow head began to whaled.
"Geez Kise don't be so noisy were not in a party."
The tanned male with blue hair interrupted the yellow head. A certain tall purple head wearing a lazy face eating his snacks joined the conversation.
"Is Kuro-chin all right? I already made food and his favorite milkshake for him."
A man with black hair began to appeared from nowhere. Trying to surprise the greenhead who is already aware of his presence.
"Takao I already see you from behind."
Takao pouted.
"Awww ~ Shin-chan you could've just pretend that you didn't hmp!"
"It's not the time for you to joke around we have work to do."
Takao pouted again and whine beside the greenhead.
"Hey is Tetsu all right? Why are you carrying him Akashi?"
Aomine giving a quizzical look.
"Because I want to Daiki."
Akashi stated.
"Geez what's with you today."
The tanned male scratch his nape.
"We are going back to Teiko. Atsushi where are your troops?
The purple head stop munching his snacks and began to report.
"Muro-chin and the rest of my team are going to be here at any moment. I hope they brought some snacks, I forgot to tell them."
The purple head added.
"Daiki and the rest of your team, I need you to come up with a plan. Got any information?"
"Uhh – yes I got the footage and pictures of the assassination."
"Good. Ryota your team will be assigned to check the underground, secure every entrance and exit of Teiko."
"Got it Akashichi ~"
Aomine, Kise and Murasakibara felt the heaviness inside their hearts, and bowed to give proper respect to the man who has been a great inspiration not just to them, but to all his people. They solemnly give a moment of silence when four man wearing black suits appeared in front of the door waiting for their leader.
"Akashi are we leaving now!?"
Another yellow head with sharp fangs on his teeth broke the silence by his exclaiming tone asking the redhead.
"Kotaro you are very impatient."
One certain man with black half long hair whispered something to the yellow head.
"I told you to shut your mouth. Don't you even respect the scene? Sei-chan is not in his usual self-right now."
"Is my training going to be tripled?"
"Maybe quadrupled, if you continue to irritate him."
"You two, stop whispering."
A large tall bulky man interrupted their secret conversation.
"You're no fun at all Eikichi-chan."
Mibuchi whine.
"I need all of your reports after 3 hrs. Anyone who fails to do their work gets a quadrupled menu on their plate. That's all. Dismissed."
He looked at the teal head sleeping in his arms wearing a tired and mournful face. He shouldn't have left them alone by themselves. And now he blames himself for not securing the leader of Kuroko clan and his beloved Kuroko Tetsuya. All of them wore a worried and sorrowful face to their beloved friend who became victim of this heinous crime he is not deserve to experience. All of them swear to their minds and to the sleeping teal head that they will find out every information that leads to this case, and punish them in extreme torture. Akashi spoke.
"We shall take our leave."
"What are going to say to Tetsu-kun when he wakes up?"
Momoi questioned before they leave.
"I will tell further details when I summon the leaders of the manor at the meeting later. For now, no one will report or give any information about this incident."
All of them answered in chorus.
"Hai Akashi/Akashichi/Aka-chin/Akashi-kun."
"Eikichi you will be the one to drive."
"Hai Akashi."
As soon the redhead and his beloved lover got disappeared from the scene. Everyone got at ease and released the tension they felt earlier when their evil leader, well that's what they literally saw, emits a dark aura all over the place.
"Phew – I think Akashichi is more than angry, I thought I will never see that again, but now I'm getting a bad conclusion for this."
Kise began the conversation.
"Thank kami-sama for sparing our lives."
Aomine butt in.
"I guess it can be helped since he saw Kuroko in a devastating state. Addition to that, the leader of Kuroko clan has been killed in front of his own son."
Midorima retorted.
"Yea… you can say that, but who would even dare to kill Tetsu's father?"
The male tanned asked.
"Ojisan is a good man. I never heard any complains about him. In fact, Kuroko clan is the kindest clan in Teiko.
Kise spoked with claimed.
"That maybe is the reason why they are the ones whose being targeted."
Midorima replied.
"Oi Midorima are you saying that Kuroko clan is weak!?"
Aomine exclaimed.
"I am not. You're the one whose imposing it."
The greenhead answered irritated.
"H-hey Aomenechi, Midorimachi it's not the perfect time for this."
The yellow head started to mediate between the two.
"Finally you have used you mind Kise."
"Yea… you've change."
Aomine smirked, Midorima adjusted his glasses.
"Wait, what? Both of you are being mean again ssu! ~"
Kise exclaimed.
"Shin-chan look at this."
Takao caught his partner's attention.
"I have to work, do not be late it's Kuroko we are talking about."
Midorima noted both of them.
"Hell like I will let myself be killed by that devil, I love my life ya know."
"If it's Kurokochi were talking about, I would never be late."
Akashi and the rest of his group Rakuzan are heading back to the Teiko. Akashi can't stop caressing and kissing the neck of his beloved Tetsuya. For him, it's his way of apologizing for not protecting him. He will not forgive that person if he hurt his Tetsuya, nothing matters to him if it's about him. Akashi's world only revolves to his one and only possession, his love of his life Kuroko Tetsuya. Ever since they were a child Akashi would often visit Kuroko's family mansion since he doesn't want his Tetsuya to do such effort.
"Sei-kun don't you want me to go to your mansion?"
Kuroko asked with puzzled look.
"Tetsuya I just don't want you to get tired."
Akashi reasoned out.
"But it's just walking distance."
Kuroko reasoned also. Akashi sighed.
"Tetsuya it is not about that, I should be the one doing the effort."
"And what do you mean by that Sei?"
Akashi closed the distance between him and his beloved and whispered words that made Kuroko blushed.
"Because you are going to be my wife someday, and as your future husband, I should be the one doing all the efforts Tet-su-ya-love."
Kuroko's face became the new definition of color red.
"S-ssei should not say s-something like that it's e-embarrassing."
"Why Tetsuya, didn't I tell this almost every day?"
Akashi liking the reaction of his beloved possession. He always managed to say words that will make his Tetsuya blushed. And it's always worth it to see.
"I-it's not about that, you are just teasing me."
Kuroko pouted. Akashi find it cute.
"Don't do that to anyone."
"Do what?"
"Don't pout to anyone except me, I should be the only one who can see the cute side of Tetsuya."
"Sei-kun is selfish"
"Only to you my Tetsuya."
Akashi locked his Tetsuya between his legs and let him lean in his chest.
"When we reach the right age, I want to marry Tetsuya so I can officially claim you, even though no one can take you away from me. How about you?"
"Well I like Sei-kun, and if Sei wants to marry me I'll be the happiest person in the world."
Akashi chuckled.
"Then I'll be the luckiest person in the world too. You should sleep now, it's nap time."
"Sei-kun should sleep too. I will grow taller than you when you don't sleep."
Akashi chuckled again.
"Believe me Tetsuya even if I am just a meter tall from you right now, I will still grow taller than you."
"How sure of you about that?"
"I am absolute, and I always win right."
"It sounded like a statement not an approval."
"You know me Tetsuya."
"It's Sei-kun we are talking about."
Kuroko fell asleep in Akashi arms and Akashi stared at the lovely face of his beloved. Before he sleeps he began to oath his promised to his beloved Tetsuya.
"I will protect, love and cherish you Tetsuya. I will do everything to keep those smile on your face. I will never leave by your side. I will never betray you, and I will always be here for you even in the next life. I love you my Tetsuya."
Tetsuya gave an unaware smile and Akashi smiled sweetly to him before he dozes to sleep.
He reminisced the time back when they were children. Now his promised is somehow broken, he cursed himself for being an idiot when it comes to Tetsuya. He was a man of excellence and admired by people because of his exceptional talent, but when it comes to his Tetsuya he's a failure. That's what he always thought to himself.
"Akashi were here."
Eikichi interrupted Akashi's reverie.
"Is our room ready?"
Nebuya talked to the head of Rakuzan manor, after several talk Nebuya signaled that everything is already prepared, Akashi gave him a nod. Reo who already got out of his car was given a signal to open the limousine. He opened the car and all the maids bowed in half, at the grand door Kise and the members of the Kaijō mansion are waiting to give their report. Rakuzan head of household is also waiting for the arrival of the most powerful leader of Teiko. Akashi carried Kuroko and began to walk his way to the grand door.
"Welcome back Akashi-sama, Kuroko-sama."
All the maids greeted in chorus. The maid began to whisper with one other the moment Akashi passes through them.
"Why is Akashi-sama carrying Kuroko-sama?"
"What do you think happened?"
"Is Kuroko-sama sick?"
"Kuroko-sama fainted I guess."
As Akashi reached the grand door, Rakuzan head of household greeted him.
"Good evening and welcome back Akashi-sama."
"Where is Alexandria?"
"She's already waiting inside Akashi-sama."
"Tell Shintaro to go straight in our room."
"As you wish Akashi-sama."
"Ryota your report."
"We have secured all the entrance and exit of the underground and the whole place of Teiko. Hidden cameras and electronic trap devices are already installed. We have also installed jamming and wire tapped device to monitor everything. There is no suspicious or hidden action, end of report.
"Good. Meet me at the conference room 2 hours from now. No one is not allowed to be late. Dismissed.
"Hai Akashichi."
Akashi proceeded inside the manor, there waiting are the members of Seirin mansion and Alexandria, Kagami Taiga and Himuro Tatsuya's personal coach, and the doctor of Kuroko's mansion especially Kuroko Tetsuya's personal doctor. Now she has joined as one of the doctors of Teiko. All of them was shocked seeing the son of Kuroko clan carried by the leader of the Teiko and Rakuzan. Kagami broke the silence first.
"Akashi what happened to Kuroko?"
Kagami one of Kuroko's best friend is eager to know what happened. Akashi answered.
"Let's talk tomorrow, but for now I need Alexandria to follow with me. I assumed that you are already been informed by Ryota and rest of Kaijō members.
"Hai, we already checked the whole place."
"I will set meeting for tomorrow morning."
"I understand."
Kagami replied.
Aida Riko who is very concerned in Kuroko, is eager also to know what happened to him. Aside from Alexandria she became an assistant nurse only to Kuroko.
"Uhm… Akashi-san is Kuroko will be okay."
A worried tone came out of her words.
"Yes, he is just asleep caused by the pill he had taken earlier."
"O-okay. Thank you."
"We shall take our leave then; my patient needs me now."
Alexandria cut the conversation, Kagami nod. Akashi ordered them to go on their regular routines, and everyone agreed and did what the redhead leader said. They have a lot of time to ask the other members later. Akashi and Alexandria walked together in silence. Alexandria broke the silence.
"I see that this one is a very serious matter, judging from your face and aura."
"Yes, it is. I told to the head of household to summon Shintaro once he arrives."
The female doctor adjusted her glasses.
"I am at your service Teiko leader."
The silence claimed the moment again. Finally, they have arrived at the shared room of Akashi and Kuroko. He walks to where the bed is located and carefully placed Kuroko he took the shirt that was on side table, and took off the jacket and shirt and change it with clean one, Akashi started the conversation.
"The leader of the Kuroko clan… Kuroko Hirose is already dead."
Alexandria was a bit shocked. She suspected that the blood somehow came from a relative family, but he was not expecting that the blood all over Kuroko's clothes is from his father itself.
"Care to provide more details?"
Akashi looked at Kuroko and began to continue the conversation.
"Daiki got a letter sent to the Tōō mansion and was forwarded to me immediately. The letter says Don't miss my most special day. Checked mate. P.S. I already know where Kuroko Tetsuya is. My suspicion is, this was the same person who wanted to kidnapped Tetsuya when he was six. When we got there I saw Tetsuya kneeling and crying in-front of his father, there lies Kuroko Hirose bath in his own blood. I forced Tetsuya to take sedative Shintaro gave to me and went immediately back here for his safety and the rest is history."
"I see… I never thought his situation can be this painful. I am aware that Seirin mansion is a weapon to be used, a powerful weapon to have."
Alexandria looked at Akashi straightly.
"I am glad that you as the Teiko leader and Rakuzan successor is doing your very best to protect my patient."
"That is unquestionable ever since."
"Yea…I trust you a lot with my patient, so what does her doctor can do for you."
Akashi borrowed a moment of silence, his mismatched eyes meet her green orbs. She felt her body shivered. She knows that Akashi is quite intimidating, but this time she felt chills running down her body. He opened his mouth and said those words that widened her eyes.
"I want you to erase Tetsuya's memories."
