Chapter 1: The news
It was evening… when Kuroko found out the news from Riko. It was heartbreaking… Riko understand Kuroko's feeling but she can't do anything about it…
'Please Kuroko…stay strong for him' is all what Riko can say. She taps the light blue hair shoulder before heading out from Kagami's room. Kuroko can only watch his 'light' lying on the patient bed, looking lifeless. All the wires that were been tape on his strong body, making him look miserable. The bruises that he have clearly shows that he had been fight with stronger people or should he say, monster.
How can someone done this to you…
Although he is a bit of an idiot and insensitive but Kagami is a kind person. He maybe looks like a delinquent but Kagami would never fight without a reason. So why? Why did someone beat him until he become like this? Kuroko did not understand.
His eyes shut close and the only thing that they can hear is his heavy breathing. That is even with the help of the breathing machine.
'Kuroko-kun…' Riko went back inside to check the sixth man but what she can only see is a despair man trying to hold his cry. Kuroko Tetsuya, the famous phantom sixth man who rarely shows his emotion actually cries. Liquid become to form in his eyes but no sound can be heard.
'Can you please leave me and Kagami-kun…alone' is the answer that she gets. Riko just gives a small nod of approval before she proceeds to leave Kagami room and join the rest of Seirin member outside.
Just as she close the door, Riko could hear clearly that the sixth man from the Generation of Miracle finally surrender to his emotion and cries. Even though the cry was faint and quiet but she could feel all the feeling and emotion that the said person has being kept since before. She remains silent and walks to her rest teammates.
Kuroko hasn't being crying or say anything about it since she told him the news. The news that Kagami had been admitted into the hospital after he was found injured at a local basketball court.
'How is he, Riko?' ask Hyuuga as soon as she come out from Kagami room. Riko stare at them before slowly shake her head, signaling that they should not interrupt Kuroko right now.
'It must be a huge impact for Kuroko…' say Izuki, didn't feel like making any pun or joke right now. They nod in agreement.
'Just how in the hell does this happen anyway…' Koganei cursed. All of the member remain passive while their eyes stare the blank floor. They're too surprise to even react. There is no exact explanation about the incident either. All that they knew is that they got a called from Alex-san saying that Kagami had being admitted to the hospital after being found injured by some passerby that happen to past the incident place. They quickly dashed toward the hospital to see him but unfortunately his condition wasn't in a good state.
'What the doctor tell, Riko?' ask Kiyoshi, breaking the silent.
'Alex-san is discussing right now with the doctor…' answer Riko. The rest of the team look disappointed but they remain patient as they wait for Kagami's guardian.
A good fifteen minutes after that, a blonde hair woman approach them. Alexandria Garcia approaches them looking so solemn. But the expression change soon after that with a small smile. A fake smile that they can see to hide her real expression…
'So what the doctor said, Alex-san? How was Kagami-kun condition?' Riko is the first one to approaches her.
'The doctor said that…Taiga had passed the worst part…' she said. The rest of them let a small sigh of relief.
'But…his condition after this will depend on himself…' she added. They look at each other in confusion. They did not understand. Didn't Kagami have passed the worst part already?
'What do you mean by that?' Kiyoshi dare himself to ask the question. It take a few minutes too before the blonde woman can actually answer the question.
'Unfortunately… with the injury that Taiga has right now… He is…in the state of comma…' say Alex, barely hold her cries. Riko immediately help her to sit and relax. The blonde cries on Riko's shoulder while Riko gently stroke her back to support her.
'He is in the state of comma…and there's no guarantee that he will wake up...I…I just can't see him like that…' the blonde soon burst and cries. The blonde cries on Riko shoulder while Riko gently stroke her back to support her.
'Co-comma?' Furihata is not an idiot when he heard what Alex said. Neither do the rest of Seirin are oblivious when it come to the term of comma. The chance of people that in the state of comma to possibly wake up are thin and in some case they might not even wake up at all. Most of the members look totally shock to say anything. They never thought that it was this serious. The first year trio, Furihata, Kawahara and Fukuda sat on the chair provided with a frown on their face.
'It can't be true...last night we were just celebrating our victory of the Winter Cup and now...' say Koganei, trying to deny the truth but he end up crying on Mitobe's shoulder.
'Kuroko…' for the first time, Mitobe speak up and that alerting everyone the presence of the turn to Kuroko that is standing right now in front of Kagami's room. It couldn't be that Kuroko have heard what Alex was saying right? If not he might not being able to…
There isn't a single sound between them. Seirin couldn't utter any word to explain to the phantom about their situation. Even Riko and Hyuuga… they didn't want Kuroko to hear anymore about Kagami-kun that might make the phantom stress much more. The news are already gave a big impact on the small player. They don't want to add more.
'Kagami-kun will wake up…' say Kuroko, breaking the silent first.
'Kuroko…' Hyuuga want to walk to the small player and just…maybe hug him and tell him that everything is fine but Kiyoshi stop him. The taller give a sign that they should heard first what the phantom is going to say.
'I believe in Kagami-kun… he wouldn't die that easily…we promised…' say Kuroko. Seirin did not say anything after that. After awhile, they left the hall because the visiting time is over. Alex being the guardian volunteering to accompany Kagami while Kuroko… being the last one to leave, disappear after that.

'Kasamatsu-sempai~ sorry I'm late…' Kise shout when he arrives at the gym. His photo shoot ended quite late today and he didn't get the chance to tell the cruel captain of him…He mean Kasamatsu-Sempai earlier. Well he prepared for the kick anyway as long as he didn't get extra training like he use to get in Teikou before.
'Ah… Kise...you're late…' Kasamatsu grumble but after that he ignore Kise. The famous point guard of Kaijou resumes his practice back, leaving the blond model confuse.
This is strange…usually he will kick me right on spot when he seen me…well I'm not a masochist but something is definitely wrong! Kise thought as he approach Kasamatsu.
'Eh? No lecture or flying kick this time? What happen?' Kise ask while his hand dribbling the ball. Kasamatsu stop his practice and turn to the blond.
'Didn't you hear the news? Seirin's Ace, Kagami Taiga had been hospitalized yesterday…' say Kasamatsu looking disbelief. Of course he is confused with Kise cheerful attitude. Isn't the blond are closer to Seirin team? The news was popular especially among the Basketball team.
The ball slipped from Kise's hand. All the sense of cheerfulness lost right away when he heard the news.
'He…what…' the blond seem speechless. This is the first time, Kasamatsu seen Kise in this kind of condition.
'I guess you didn't watch the morning news, isn't? Kagami had been found injured in some basketball court last evening… it's seems like someone… or something had beaten him before…' Kasamatsu explain, throwing the ball into the basket but his timing is wrong, the ball missed.
Kise was in shock that he remains silent momentarily. His minds are still digesting the news and right after that an image of a certain sixth man flash in his mind.
Kurokochii…The blond grab his belonging and run out from the gym in a dash.
'Oi, where the hell are you going?!' Kasamatsu shout.
'I'm going to look for Kurokochii, isn't it obvious?!' Kise replies firmly, leaving the court. He has set his priority at top. No matter how busy he is but he can never let that person broken. At least not for the second time…
Wait for me Kurokochii…
'Ugh…it's not Kuroko that have been injured…that bastard…' Kasamatsu curse his junior but he will let this one slide because…
A second chance come like a miracle and always treasures it no matter how hard your life is…

Takao has being watching what his partner was doing ever since their practices start. Right from the start of their practice, Midorima seems out of focus and sometime he space out as if something was bothering him…not that he didn't know about it…
'Shin-chan~ just go and see Kuro-chan if you're that worry…' said Takao. The green shot him with a glare but decide not to bother with Takao mischevious act. He continues his practice and ignores his presence. But his shot didn't make it into the basket…for the first time ever.
'Shit…' Midorima curse his luck. Cancer ranking in Oha asa today is the second and he even get his lucky item for today which is a blanket but even with all of his preparation on avoiding bad luck, his condition didn't improve at all.
'He might need you…' Takao add. Midorima turn to his companion. Maybe Takao was right. Maybe he should see that person right now and see if his unsettling feeling will cool down. But…
'Take a five minute break, everyone!' Shutoku High's couch, Misaaki Nakatani shouts, ordering all of Shutoku members to rest. Most of the member decides to take a breath outside the court while other went to get some drink. Midorima slump himself on the cold gym floor. His hand are shaking because of the over pressure.
Keep calm, Midorima…it's nothing…you should be fine…
'Are you alright, Midorima?' ask Taisuke Otsube when he approach the green followed by Kiyoshi Miyaji and Shinsuke Kimura. Not just Takao, the three of them notice Midorima bad mood today. The green seem to space out during practice and his shot never went into the basket. They heard the news too and they know how worry their ace are (even if he denied it)
'I'm fine' Midorima replied shortly. The regular group soon approach by their couch presence. The older didn't seem to be amused especially to a particular green hair teen.
'Midorima…if you keep continue being like this, please dismiss from today practice. You will end up holding the team down and your performance' said Masaaki Nakatani. Only a fool can't see how badly the green is disturbed and stress right now.
'See even the couch knew that you are terrible today' Takao agreeing.
The green is silent for a moment before he gives a small nod. It is a surprise that for the first time the green didn't protest of any advice given. Masaaki Nakatani couldn't be glad more than this.
He had being informed before that he was lucky to have to most sensible player out of the generation of miracles but he couldn't agree with the statement too. He had seen them and none of them are 'normal' in his eyes.
'Then…I'll take my leave for today…Thank you, couch' said Midorima before he retreat to get his personal belonging. Masaaki Nakatani nod in approval while his eyes trail his team's ace dismiss from the court.
'Where are you going, Shin-chan?' ask Takao, approach Midorima who are packing his stuff right now in the locker room.
'I have… to go somewhere…See you later' was all that the green said to him before he left the locker room. Takao has never seen Midorima acting like that for all the time he spent with him that make him wonder how much does Midorima really concern about his former teammates.
I'm a bit jealous…Shin-chan…
.
.
'Shit…why didn't he answer it?' the blond finger rapidly dial the phantom sixth man number for god know how many time but the result remain the same. Kuroko had shut his phone off which make it impossible to get in touch with him.
'And I don't even know Kurokochii house either…' Kise bite his lip in frustration. Now that he thinks about it, Kuroko never once invited him to his house not even when they were in middle school! His first plan is to visit Seirin after he left his school but the basketball gyms are empty indicating that Seirin didn't have any practice today. And now he is running out of idea and clue on how to find his beloved Kurokochii!
'What should I do? Seirin wasn't here too…' His train of thought running through his mind as he take a seat on the nearest bench provided at the park.
'Oh my…it's Ki-chan!' a familiar voice call him, pulling him out from his thought. In front of him stand Momoi Satsuki and Aomine Daiki.
'Momoichi, Aominechii…what are you guys doing right here?' ask Kise, a bit surprise when he seen Momoi and Aomine were here too. They probably are searching for Kuroko too.
'We were just wanted to see if Kagamin was alright or not…' Momoi replies. Kise remain silent for awhile before a smirk form on his face.
'You two are just worrying about Kurokochii, isn't?' said Kise, causing the two to flinch. He can see very well that the duos from Too are desperately seeking for excuse.
'I'm not like you, Kise… Kagami is my rival…of course I don't want him to die just like that…' Aomine protest but only to realize that his excuse make Kise smile widening because of his confession. Just why did he admitted that Kagami was his rival.
As the two of them continues to teasing with each other, Momoi spot Seirin member passing the park not far from the place they were standing.
'Hey~ you guys!' she call, earning some attention from Seirin basketball member. They seem surprise by their presence. The three of them approach Seirin after that.
'W-what are you guys doing here?' ask Riko, even though she does have a good guess about the reason they come. They had just coming back from visiting Kagami after school ended and was going to head to the school back when Momoi call them.
'We want to visit Kagamin but… we didn't know where's the hospital… and we want to see Tetsu-kun too, do you know where he is?' ask Momoi.
'Kuroko-kun? We don't know… we didn't see him since yesterday' said Riko. Now that they say about it, they didn't see Kuroko in the Hospital too. They thought he had gone first to visit Kagami but Alex said that they're the only visitor that day.
Momoi, Aomine and Kise look at each other. For some reason, they had a bad feeling regarding the sixth phantom of the generation of miracles whereabouts. The small guy never shared his feeling or thought with anyone else. He always keeps it to himself and that make them afraid, afraid that he might explode all by himself without his friend beside him.
'He is probably at his house...you guys was worrying too much…' Kiyoshi broke the silent.
'I hope so…' Aomine replied though his feeling keeps screaming that he should be worry. They know Kuroko longer than Seirin member does. There is definitely something bad are going to happen if they let him alone…
The three of them were back to the reality when their phone ringing at the same time. They check the content and couldn't help to frown when they seen the sender.
Gather at the school gym right now. I'll expect everyone know what I'm going to say…- Akashi Seijuro
'Is something wrong?' ask Riko. For some reason the atmosphere surrounded by the first year in front of them changes slightly when they read the text that they just received. Aomine look a bit disturb while Kise seem stress much more. Momoi on the other hand had this painful look on her face.
'It's nothing. I would love to stay but we have to go now…' The pink hair maiden give a small smile to them but the smile soon fade.
'What is wrong with them?' Hyuuga was confused with the three sudden change of attitude but he couldn't get the grasp on what is happening too. There is too much event and the generation of miracles attitude is not something that he want to think about at the moment.
They can only watch as the trio left with Aomine taken the lead followed by Kise and Momoi.
.

The skies were almost dark when they arrive at the promised place. For some reason, the scene reminds them that they just entered the hell (literally). It felt nostalgic somehow to enter their old school gym. Teikou middle school…where everything started…
The Gym was dark but there is a light illuminate where the three figures are standing. Under the single light stand their ex leader, Akashi Seijuro. Next to their leader were Midorima and Murasakibara. The three of them couldn't help but shivering when their leader pair of heterochromatic eyes glances at them.
'Daiki, Ryota, Satsuki…I'm glad to see you guys again…' Akashi greets them first. But the icy and cold tone was still there indicating that he didn't tolerate any nonsense right now.
'Akashichii, when did you come? And Murasakibarachii too! You guys should give a call to us before hand…' said Kise, trying to decrease the tension of the atmosphere around them.
'It was an emergency that I didn't have a time to call all of you. You see…I'm having a business with someone…' Akashi explains.
'What is the meaning of this, Akashi…you must have a good reason to call us again…at this place out of all…' Aomine didn't like with how Akashi treat them. Honestly, even if Seirin had defeated Rakuzan or should he say Kuroko defeated the red king, Akashi didn't change unless Kuroko was there. It is as if Akashi superior personality is already blending with him naturally.
Even Kise who had the bubbly personality didn't dare to speak. Momoi wraps her arm around her body to comfort herself. The atmosphere was just too tense. Honestly, she is worry of Aomine and Akashi. Even though both of them had realized their mistake but the two of them still can't get well with each other.
Even in Teiko before, there is a wall between them and at a time there was like two teams in the generation of miracles themselves. One with Akashi being the leader while Murasakibara and Midorima being in the team. Another one is Kuroko, Aomine and Kise. Even though Kuroko didn't aware of such thing, Aomine tolerate with Akashi because of Kuroko. Kise being the natural decided to stay with Kuroko.
'The reason I call everyone today is because… I want to reform the Generation of Miracles…' said Akashi.
'What?' The five of them including Murasakibara and Midorima were surprised by the news. By all mean, they didn't think that the reason Akashi actually call them out was to announce his plan on reform the generation of miracles. To Midorima, there's definitely something wrong with the red hair head. This is the absurd thing out of all things that he order us to do
'What are you saying? I think we've get all of this thing clear…there is no way that we are going to be together again!' Aomine shout. He was angry with how Akashi ordering them again. The red hair might be his ex captain but he can't order him what to do and what is not.
'And why can't we be together again…Aomine-kun' ask a voice from the dark. The owner slowly shows his presence before they can see the small teenager standing beside Akashi.
'Kurokochii!' Kise want to tackle the bluenette right on the spot but his action stopped by Aomine.
'Aominechii! Let me go! I want to get Kurokochii!' Kise whine at the tanned but Aomine just shrugged it off. Kise want to struggle from Aomine's strong grip before Momoi hand hold him too.
'Look at him…properly; Ki-chan…is that really Tetsu-kun…' The pink maiden holds Kise hand tightly.
'W-what are yo-' Kise eyes landed on Kuroko's eyes. A sudden realization hit him on the spot. Even if he can't read Kuroko's emotion but the person in front of him are definitely not their Kuroko. At least…his souls aren't.
Kuroko eyes were empty. His eyes that usually fill with fighting spirit are now cold. Even if he is always wearing that deadpanned expression, the expression on his face right now was exactly like a dead person. It was like a person who fall into the deep abyss.
'What is the meaning of this, Akashi…What have you done to Tetsu?' Aomine shouted, glaring to the red hair. But it seems like Akashi didn't bother by it. He is simply smiling.
'I didn't do anything… Tetsuya that called me and ask me to reform the group…I just granted his request… that's all…' said Akashi. Aomine turn to his former shadow. There is no way that Kuroko would want that…isn't him?
I'm more comfortable of being Kuroko Tetsuya from Seirin…rather than Kuroko Tetsuya, the sixth man of the generation of miracles…
'Tetsu…why…' Aomine grip the shorter shoulder but he didn't receive any response except for his former companion eyes look frighten…by him.
'Now that Tetsuya didn't have any light…he is as dark as the night… it is up to you guys… to give him a new light' Akashi voices his plan. The four of them twitch when they heard what Akashi just said. But Kuroko seem didn't bother with the statement that Akashi just made.
'I wouldn't force you but remember this might be your last chance on redeem your mistake to him for Tetsuya had sacrifice so many things for us but we didn't have any chance to pay him back…' Akashi explains.
'Those who are interested with the idea are most welcome to stay but those who aren't might as well leave because the next one would be a pointless conversation for those who aren't staying…' he added,
Glance exchange by another glance. Kise glance at Midorima but the green hair didn't say anything. Momoi on the other hand seem to be persuading Aomine with something. Aomine didn't look good at all. Murasakibara on the other hand had just being…Murasakibara.
'The time is up…what is your decision?' the red hair ask. If one does not know what the true personality of the red hair is, they might think him doing this as a way to repay his debt to Kuroko but for the generation of miracles they know better.
Akashi is playing a mind game with every single one of them and he is using their affection and guilty feeling for Kuroko to tie them with his plan. He is absolute and there is no way for them to escape.
'I don't mind…I'll just follow what Aka-chin had planned…' Murasakibara was the first to respond.
'Thank you, Atsushi…I appreciate your cooperation…' Akashi replied, a small smile form on his face.
'If Kurokochii want it, I want to join too~' said Kise happily. To be honest, he didn't mind whatever the result is. Though there is still some hope deep in his heart, wanting everything to be just like before…
'If everyone had insisted… I couldn't say no…' say Midorima, pushing up his glasses. But he is still reluctant about his decision. Since its Akashi order…there's no way he can say no.
Aomine has remained silent while the other gives their decision. He can only stare the lifeless shadow in front of him. Tetsu…
He must have being scare…all alone in the dark when his light gone…
'Are you sure this is what you want, Tetsu….' Aomine approach the blue light hair teenager. Kuroko turn to him and nod. It hurts Aomine to see how broken the blue hair teenager.
'I'm sure…' he replies. His expression went blank again before he return to be beside Akashi.
Aomine took a breath before let it go. He is going to do this for Tetsu and he swear he will get Kuroko back to his usual side. Even if that's mean he had to bow to the red hair king.
'If that can help Tetsu…then count me in…' say Aomine. Akashi just smile when his plan work. He knew it if it is Kuroko...no one can decline…even the strongest knight wouldn't dare…
'Well then, Satsuki. You are going to join us too, right?' ask Akashi to the pink hair maiden.
'S-sure…if it's Tetsu-kun…I mean, if everyone join. I'm in too' said Momoi with a blush. She know she didn't have any other choice than to accept and also she want to be useful for them…for her crush and childhood friend too. Tetsu-kun need her help and she will make herself useful by looking after them. Like they say, food is the best way to keep a man.
With that, everyone agreed and the generation of miracles will once more unite under Akashi command again.
'Before that, Akashi…just what is the purpose on unites us again? I still didn't see the point…' Midorima suddenly interrupt.
'I will explain that later, Shintaro…' said Akashi.
'Because it was you that I'm risking my life…if it's Kise or Aomine, I'll never involve myself with this absurd planned' Midorima thought.
This week is Seirin's bad luck… they had just lost their aces…and shadow in the same time…Kise thought for himself before they left the gym after that. it was cruel but they can't do anything as they are powerless under the red hair control.

In Akashi private car
'What are you staring at, Tetsuya?' Akashi ask. He had notice that the teal blue hair had being staring the outside view from the window for quite some time.
'Nothing…' the teal hair replies, shortly. His eyes just look at the empty view as the car passed by the metropolitan city. But in a second he was pulled into the red hair embrace.
'While I appreciate that you decide to call me first, you know that asking help from me mean you are going to be mine forever, Tetsuya' said Akashi, wrapping his hand around the slender body.
In all of people that he ever met, Kuroko Tetsuya is the only one that doesn't obey his rules. He was always beyond Akashi's expectation. Very rare…very special that make Akashi become curios on where is the teal blue hair weak point because he always appear strong and stronger when he was with Kagami Taiga and before, Aomine Daiki.
His curiosity reaches the climax when Tetsuya defeat him in the winter cup tournament. For someone who had zero ability to defeat him… He was never this surprise.
He wants to discover more into the deep abyss of the famous phantom sixth man thought. Though he doubt that he will get a chance because the famous phantom sixth man is so strong that he afraid he will lose inside the dark abyss. That until…
'I don't know what to do anymore…I'm scare, Akashi-kun…they are coming…' the man that he adores out of all people is pleading to him. The person that he thought are not going to bow to him is in a weak state. There you are…I've being looking for you…
'Surpass my expectation more, Tetsuya… show me what you got…for I am now your captain…' said Akashi. He wouldn't let this chance go…never.
'Yes…Akashi-kun…'
.
.
~Take 1: Behind the scene~
'While I appreciate that you decide to call me first, you know that asking help from me mean you are going to be mine forever, Tetsuya' said Akashi, wrapping his hand around the slender body.
He wouldn't let this chance gone away again…never.
At first, all of them silent before Kuroko chuckle and soon break into a laugh.
'Hahahahha….your word are too cheesy, Akashi-kun. You got me there' Kuroko comment while trying to hold back his laughter.
'Silent, Tetsuya!' is all Akashi could say. The red swear his face was turning red just like his hair color when he had to say those words.
'And to be honest, I almost fall for it too…' Kuroko added before he ran away.
'TETSUYA!' Akashi shouts him before he starts chasing after Kuroko.
'Is this for real?' ask Midorima to the rest of them.
'Who knows~' Murasakibara just raise his shoulder a bit while munching his chips.

So there you go a un-beta ver. Of the edited ver…I think the amounts of shounen ai are getting heavier in the edited version than the first one but yeah…I adjust it so it fits the invisible plot. Will update the other later. REVIEW are much appreciated.
