Synopsis:
"Ne, Akashi-kun, do you believe in parallel worlds?" It all started with a simple text message by Kuroko. Due to some wicked twist of fate, the Generation of Miracles (excluding Akashi) and Kagami get pulled into a separate dimension, where they acknowledge the existence of the complicated feeling called love within them. Chaos ensues. KuroAka, TakaMido/MidoTaka, KiAka, MuraHimu and AoKaga.
Why hello, everyone. This story is a pathetic attempt of mine to quench my thirst for knowledge on parallel worlds. It has recently been brought to my attention and I'm currently interested in it.
Please excuse any potential grammar, vocabulary or spelling errors. I'm currently trying to adopt the American spelling, and there is music blaring in one of my ears. I don't really listen to music while working, but my classmate recommended this song to me. Please note that this story takes place after the Winter Cup, and that the Team Jabberwork incident may actually not take place at all.
Disclaimer: It's a shame, but I didn't think of the idea of Kuroko no Basuke. All rights - well, almost all rights, except for this story, go to Fujimaki Tadatoshi.
Seirin
After a rather grueling session of basketball with the Seirin team, Kuroko decided to drop by the library to find a particular Science-fiction book Furihata had recommended to him. The visit was unplanned, and after changing out of his jersey, Kuroko stepped into the welcoming embrace of the cool air-conditioner (Not good, Kuroko! You might just get rheumatism after sweating so much and going into an air-conditioned room like that!) and found the book he was looking for. Why, of course it was about parallel worlds!
After reading it true, he was intrigued by it. The mere possibility of worlds other than his existing, of copies of him going about doing their own daily business, it was simply unthinkable, unimaginable.
He sat down and started typing a message.
Kaijo
Kise Ryouta was a model. A pretty, blonde model. A pretty, blonde and whiny model. A pretty, blonde, whiny and a person who liked to reminisce the good old times. Add a model to that, and we get Kise Ryouta.
Despite often getting kicked by Kasamatsu, and being bullied by some of his former teammates, he was undeniably one of the factors that held the Generation of Miracles together. They would ignore the quirks of each other and unite as one to show him affection. At least, that was how he would have liked it to have been seen as. What the Generation of Miracles and the Kaijo team showed him was neither affection nor care, it was downright bullying.
He was a beam of sunlight, a ray of happiness, the pure embodiment of bubbliness. There was no doubt about that. There was nothing he was lacking, he had everything - money, happiness, longevity (where this came from, I have no idea.) But. But, there was one thing he did not have, and that was authority. Sure, he could pester the others all he wanted and they might give in due to his relentless attempts at convincing them, but at the end of the day, his ridiculous notions would not be accepted due to the others' respect for him.
Therefore, he would have to find someone to help him execute his plan of a Generation of Miracle reunion. At that point, Kise started his pursuit to find someone that would entertain his idea, someone with a patronizing personality, and with lots of space to spare in their house.
Kise's lightbulb moment came and he snapped his fingers.
Just like Kuroko, he sat down and started typing a message.
Rakuzan
While Kuroko and Kise were typing their messages, the Rakuzan Basketball team were having their basketball practice.
"Sei-chan... What are you doing?" Reo, after accepting a towel from the team manager, lounged himself down on the bench beside Akashi.
"It's nothing much, just some messages from my former teammates."
Peeking over Akashi's shoulder, he saw two new messages on Akashi's phone. Akashi's finger hovered over the first one, and came down.
Reo furried his eyebrows.
To: Me
By: Kuroko
Ne, Akashi-kun, do you believe in parallel worlds?
Kuroko Tetsuya simply did not seem like the sort to randomly send people messages with odd content, especially someone he recognized was busy like Akashi.
Slowly turning to face him, a light frown graced Akashi's features.
"Mibuchi-san, do you believe in parallel worlds?"
Sei-chan... Eh?" Now Akashi was acting odd as well.
"Hey! What's going on here?" Thankfully, Nebuya and Kotaro's (A/N: Grr... Just accept Nebuya and Kotaro! It doesn't necessarily have to be Eikichi and Hayama, right?) dramatic entry into the conversation saved Reo from answering the question.
"I was simply asking Mibuchi-san about his view on parallel worlds. It is indeed odd, and I would like to look at things from someone else's perspective."
Reo, finally snapping out of his thoughts, felt a surge of anger within him.
"Sei-chan! Who made you think about such weird things!? Don't worry, I'll get them for you!"
"It's fine, Mibuchi-san. I apologize for worrying you."
"Sei-chan, you're so cute!"
Nebuya and Kotaro looked weirdly at Reo.
Akashi let out one more cute smile, and turned his attention back to his phone, while ignoring Reo who was fawning over him.
To: Me
From: Kise
Akashi-cchi! Can we pls, pls, hold a meeting for the gom at ur house? Pls? Pretty pls? Im begging u! O.o
Akashi blinked. Sure the Generation of Miracles had mostly mended their broken bonds since the Winter Cup, but did it really warrant sending him a message, and a terribly written one at that, to bother him? Unfortunately, he knew that the blonde would definitely pester him to no end...
Sighing, he switched to the 'call' icon, and dialled Kise's number.
Ring! Ring!
"Akashi-cchi!? Did you get my message!? Is it fine!?"
Kise's voice was do loud that even though the phone was not in speaker mode, the Uncrowned Kings who were present cringed at the volume.
"Yes, Kise, I did receive your message, and before we come to my answer, would you please stop with the hysterics?"
After Kise quieted down, Akashi continued,
"My answer is that I will allow you to use my house as the venue of the gathering," before Kise could cheer, Akashi continued, "Provided you stick by my conditions. No alcohol, and you will not mess my house up. Can you comprehend my words? If these rules are not followed, I'm afraid that there will be consequences. Also, it would be very much appreciated if you could tell Kuroko that he can bring Kagami Taiga along with him if he wishes to. Make sure that Kagami knows that there will be no repitition of our first meeting, and therefore, it is safe for him to join us. Does tomorrow at 5 P.M. sound good to you?"
"Hai, Akashi-cchi! I love you! Mua!" And he ended the call.
While Akashi frowned a little, Reo was in full-blown angry mode.
"How dare he harass my Sei-chan like that!"
Kaijo
"Kuroko-cchi! We'll be having a gathering at Akashi-cchi's house tomorrow at 5 P.M.! Bring Kagami-cchi along with you! Akashi-cchi says that he will not slash Kagami-cchi again! "
"Did Akashi-kun really say that?"
"Yes, Kuroko-cchi! You know his address, right!?"
"Hai, Kise-kun. Since Akashi-kun allows this meeting, Kagami-kun and I will come along."
"Arigatou, Kuroko-cchi!"
"Aomine-cchi! We will be meeting up at Akashi-cchi's house tomorrow at 5 P.M.! You have to come!"
"What the - Urgh! Fine! I know Akashi's address, but do I bring Satsuki along?"
"Akashi-cchi didn't say anything about that, so I guess not!"
"Gah! Fine!"
"Murasakibara-cchi! We will be meeting up tomorrow at 5 p.m. in Akashi-cchi's house !"
"At Aka-chin's house? Tomorrow? Understood, Kise-chin."
"Murasakibara-cchi! You are so easy to work with! Thank you!"
Murasakibara had already cut the call.
"Midorima-cchi! We are meeting at 5 p.m. tomorrow at Akashi-cchi's house! You have to come!"
"I don't want to (nanodayo)! You can't force me (nanodayo)!"
"Please! Akashi-cchi agreed!"
"... (nanodayo)..."
"Fine! It's not like I care about you or Akashi (nanodayo)! I didn't do this for you (nanodayo)!"
"Hai, Midorima-cchi..."
The next day, at 11:30 A.M
"Kuroko-cchi~ Kagami-cchi~ The two of you are finally here! Midorima-cchi and I have been waiting for ages!"
"Kise-kun. Midorima-kun," said Kuroko in acknowledgement.
"Midorima!? You actually came!?"
"It was Takao who forced me to come (nanodayo)! Anyway, shouldn't you be talking about yourself (nanodayo)? Akashi almost took your eye out the last time (nanodayo)!"
"About that... Akashi-cchi has already given his words that such a thing won't happen again."
"Damn that that Satsuki! She burned my Mai-chan photobooks!"
"Those are just plain porn!"
"They're not! Don't you see the beauty of breasts? Those wonderful, tempting curves, daring you to indulge in them, those beautiful and clear lines... Ah, they're heaven!"
"Aomine-cchi is truly Ahomine-cchi!"
"Aomine-kun, you pervert."
"Aomine, I'm disappointed in you."
"Ahomine! Just go roll in your grave!"
"Ano... Everyone... I'm here."
All heads swerved to the direction of the lazy voice, just to be greeted by the sight of Murasakibara with a gigantic bag that was undoubtedly filled with snacks, and who was sucking on a lollipop at that moment.
"Murasakibara, is that really enough for you?"
"Aka-chin will give me more later, so it's fine."
"12:30 in to Kyoto from Tokyo is departing! I repeat, the 12:30 p.m. train for Kyoto is departing!" rang a clear yet shrill voice from the speakers.
"That's ours."
"Let's go."
The members of the Generation of Miracles excluding Akashi and including Kagami made their way to the enormous mansion standing in front of them. Reading the nameplate at the side of the gigantic gate, Kagami looked up and stared at the mansion in awe. So that was where the Akashi stayed.
The intercom at the side of the house buzzed.
"What connection do you have with Akashi-sama?"
"Akashi-sama? The old, or the younger one?"
Receiving a hit to the head by Kuroko, Kise continued.
"Ehem... Sorry. We are Akasi-cchi's friends! My name is Kise Ryouta. I suppose he has alerted you about our arrival?"
"My apologies, Kise-sama. We will open the gate immediately."
The humungous gate and door swung open, revealing an expressionless Akashi in a yukata. He shaped his lips to form a tight smile.
"Akashi-cchi! You look so cute!" Kise beamed.
"Kise," Akashi said as he dodged Kise's arms which were soaring towards him, "Aomine, Midorima, Murasakibara, Kuroko, and... Kagami. It's a pleasure to have you here. There is no need for formalities. Do come in."
With that, he disappeared inside the mansio - erm, house.
Taking their shoes off and putting them at the side of the entrance, the basketballers went in.
"What's with Akashi today?"
"I dunno. A bad day, I presume?"
After the seven of them settled down in Akashi's room (which was, frankly, roundabout the size of their own houses), Akashi cleared his throat and began.
"Everyone, I apologize for showing you that unsightly front just now. I was... thinking deeply. Therefore, I would like for all of you to give me your opinions on a certain matter. Kuroko, if you would please."
Catching Akashi's gaze, Kuroko immediately understood what he meant.
"Yesterday, I was reading this book about parallel worlds. Unsure of what to make of it, I texted Akashi-kun to know his views on thid matter. What I think Akashi-kun wanted me to ask you is whether or not all of you believe in parallel worlds."
Silence prevailed.
Then...
"Of course (nanodayo)! It is very much like Oha-Asa (nanodayo)!"
Horoscope maniac.
"Hmm~ As long as I get to eat my snacks, I don't really care..."
"Bah! The only idiot who would believe in such a thing is Midorima! I'm sure even Bakagami will agree with me!"
"Ahomine, that was harsh, but true."
"I believe in them, though..."
"Kuroko-cchi believes in them! I do, too! How about you, Akashi-cchi?!"
All heads in the room swerved to look at said red-head.
"I personally do not like entertaining the notion of things I cannot fully comprehend."
"Wahaha! Akashi doesn't know something, after all!"
Akashi pursed his lips.
"Excuse me, everyone, but I think that I should go and make some tea." With that, Akashi left.
"Ahomine-cchi! You made Akashi-cchi angry!"
"This is terrible, Aomine (nanodayo)."
"Mine-chin, I'll crush you."
"Aomine-kun. I will personally dig your grave after killing you."
"You went too far, Aho."
"You - You all..."
Unfortunately, before Aomine could utter one more word, the stuff of cliche dimension-travelling stories happened.
A blinding white light engulfed the room, and everything went black.
A/N: THIS IS OF SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE. PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT I WILL BE ADDRESSING THE ORIGINAL WORLD IS 'CANON' AND THE OTHER UNIVERSE AS 'AU'. ALSO, I WILL BE FOCUSING MORE ON AU THAN ON CANON.
AU
A boy with crimson hair looked worriedly at his companions. They had been having a gathering at his house, and his friends had suddenly fallen unconscious.
Then, suddenly, they had disappeared and in replacement... Were his friends... in different clothes?
A groan was heard from his left and he looked over.
"Ryouta-kun! Thank goodness you're awake! I was so worried!"
"Akashi...cchi? Why are you behaving so weirdly? And why are you calling me 'Ryouta-kun'?"
"Eh... You're behaving weird..." Akashi pouted.
Kisw stared. Akashi-cchi... just pouted!?
"Akashi-cchi! So cute!"
This time, Akashi did not try to dodge him. Kise fell on top of Akashi, sending the two of them pummeling onto the ground in a very inappropriate position.
In the distance, a throat was cleared.
"You know... I think that I'll leave the two of you to your own devices...?" Kagami lookeded unsure.
"WHAT THE HELL! KISE IS RAPING AKASHI. I REPEAT, KISE THE IDIOT IS RAPING AKASHI." Aomine, who had just woken up, screamed at the top of his lungs, effectively waking Midorima, Kuroko and Murasakibara up.
"Oh my Oha-Asa... Get a room, you two (nanodayo)."
"Kise-chin, if you don't get off Aka-chin this instant, I will crush you in the most painful way possible."
"Ki. Se. Kun. Get. Off. Now."
"Minna-san... It's not what it looks like... I... I..." Akashi burst into tears.
"Akashi-kun! What happened to you?"
"I'm sorry, Akashi-cchi!"
"So, you guys are telling me that you came from an alternate dimension...? No wonder you were behaving so weirdly..." Akashi sniffed.
"We apologize for scaring you, Akashi-kun."
"Ne, Akashi-cchi, can you tell us what the us in this world are like? Since we need to pretend to be them for the time being..."
"Well, Ryouta-kun, you are cold, distant, aloof, a no-nonsense person, and the others say that you are protective over me, but I think that you're nice and kind! We go to Rakuzan together!"
Hearing the last line, Kise felt a menacing aura beside him. Kuroko-cchi... You're scary...
"Then, how about my modelling job?"
"Eh? You're a model in the other universe? I'm the model here..."
"Shintaro-kun, you are the mother hen of us all. You always take care of us and you stidy in Shuutoku! You're also in a homosexual relationship with Kazunari-kun, but don't worry, we don't judge!"
"Bufufufufufufu! This is ridiculous! Akashi, cute and a model!? Midorima, mother hen and gay!? Unbelievable!"
"Daiki-kun, you're in a relationship with Taiga-kun, too! The two of you go to Seirin together! Daiki-kun, you are extremely polite, well-mannered, and gentle, whereas Taiga-kun is gruff, irritable, impolite, and loud-spoken."
Aomine and Kagami turned to each other in slow motion.
"What - " "What - "
"A relationship - " "Gay - "
"With this aho!?" "For this baka!?"
"How about Murasakibara-kun and me, Akashi-kun?" A quiet voice asked.
"Tetsuya-kun, you go to Yosen. You are a cheery person with a nice attitude. Atsushi-kun, you go to Kaijo with Satsuki-chan! You are a very hardworking person who always gets good marks for your tests! You're also very polite and never break the school rules."
Kuroko turned around, depressed. He was the only one who did not have any one to go to school with, and to make things worse, his school was in Akita. Freaking. Akita.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, but I have modelling job in an hour so I have to rush off!"
CANON
"I suppose we have come to an understanding. All of you, I believe you know how to behave and which schools to go to. Also, Kise, please do not attempt to kiss me again. It was unbecoming for you to do that," said Akashi tonelessly.
"You're obviously not Sei, even though you look like him. I'd like to go back now, thank you," Kise squared his jaw and glared down at Akashi.
"Unfortunately, that is currently not possible. I would suggest for you to settle down and play the role of your counterpart from this world so as to not raise suspicion."
Okay, so that's it for now. Basically, in each parallel world, the personalities of the person are completely the opposite. My apologies for the rushed ending, I had to hurry.
Thank you for reading and bearing with me!
