Kiza: Hello mt beloved readers, this story was a request from a friend who actually got me into KNB and I love her for that. so i hope you enjoy this story, chapter one is actually rather long. so please enjoy and review.

Needless to say, Kagami was in shock. He had decided to go watch the Generation of Miracles practice. He had heard from Kuroko that Kise had informed everyone that he wouldn't be showing up to the said practice. The reasons where unknown…this was four days ago. The blond had yet to show his face at school, practice, or even at this modeling jobs. The others had tried to act as if they weren't worried, but the taller red headed male could tell that they all were worried about their cheery ex-team mate. So worried that they all seemed to messing up a lot during practice, even Akashi seemed out of it, Midorima had missed several of his shots, Aomine seemed slow, he wasn't as focused as he normally was when with the GoM. Even Kuroko seemed down, his passes were not making their mark, and he even looked down.

Sighing, Kagami had enough. "Hey, maybe he's at home sick." Hearing that causes all of the others to turn and look at him. "A cold. I mean, he doesn't exactly look like the kind of guy to have a strong immune system." Hearing that Aomine drops the basketball, walks over to a wall and begins to bang his head against it.

"Of course…why didn't we all just go and check on him ourselves?" he asks, rolling his eyes Kagami gets up while grabbing his sports bag. "Where are you going?"

"You guys stay here and practice. I know you've all been looking forward to doing this together, so I'll go check on him."

"That would be greatly appetited, thank you." Akashi explains, nodding the red head turns and walks out of the gym in search for the ray of sunshine for the GoM. And he had to admit, he missed the blond too. It wasn't normal for the teen to be gone, and it was wired not hearing his annoying complaining. He had only been to the model's house once, but he remembered where it was. Once reaching the apartment, he walks up the steps to the second floor. Much to his shock he could see Kise's door wide open, rushing over he could see the blond's apartment completely trashed.

"Kise!"

"K-Kagamicchi…?" looking up, he could see the blond peak out from a closet, his lip was bleeding, along with is head and he had one eye closed. Dropping his things he rushes over to the blond who looked scared beyond what words could ever describe. He kneels down in front of him as he pushes the door to the closet open, only to suddenly have the blond wrap his arms around his waist and sob loudly.

What the fuck had happened in here? Why was Kise hurt? Who the hell was dumb enough to believe they can attack him and get away with it? Sighing, he awkwardly wraps his arms around the smaller teen, he needed to get the blond out of here, or maybe even call the police. But he knew the blond wouldn't want that, seeing he was model. After what seemed like hours the blond's sobs had died down to sniffles. Pulling Kise away from his midsection, he cups his face.

"Kise, what the fuck happened here?" he asks, the blond then shivers and places his hands over the much larger teen's hands. "Kise?"

"I…I don't…" he trails off as he shakes his head. "K-Kagamicchi…i…I don't want to be here…" nodding the older male helps the blond stand up.

"Okay, we can head back to my place, but let's get yo-"

"N-No! w-what if he…he comes back!? Let's just go now!" he suddenly yells, this shocks the taller teen, but he nods.

"Okay, okay. Just calm down. Come on, im sure I can find you something to wear once we are back at my apartment." Nodding the blond allows Kagami to grab his hand and lead him out of his trashed apartment.

000

It had been about two hours since he found the now sleeping model. He had called the rest of the GoM and told them what had happened. Akashi made it very clear to the taller red hair that if he didn't watch him until he got down to the bottom of what happened to the blond, he would have hell to pay. Sighing he looks down at the blond who was now wearing a pair of his sweats, that were obviously to big on him, and t-shirt that could have and might as well been a night gown on his small frame and asleep on his couch. He had managed to get the blond to take a nice hot bath, eat a little, and then go to sleep.

Hearing a knock at his door, he walks over and is not surprised to find Kuroko there with that heathen of a dog number 2. Stepping aside, he allows the smaller male to walk in and place the puppy on the ground, who rushes over to Kise, jump up on the couch and curl up next to him. "How is he?" Kuroko asks as he watches Kagami close, and lock his door before both head into the kitchen.

"He's alright. A little shaken up, a few cuts and bruises here and there. He was really scared Kuroko, he was hiding in a closet, his apartment was trashed."

"Yes, I saw the pictures Akashi-kun sent me. He believes that maybe it was someone Kise-kun played against and won. But we aren't sure yet. But Aomine-kun isn't pleased." Kagami scoffs.

"Now he wants to act as if he cares about him? He didn't seem to care about him during their match." Kagami points out as he pulls out two glasses and fills them with water. Handing one to Kuroko and keeping the other for himself.

"That was then Kagami-kun. But he and Kise-kun have always been close." Kuroko explains, looking up both see Kise standing in the door way of the kitchen, attempting to rub away the sleepiness from his eyes. "Kise-kun, how are you feeling?" the small blue haired teen asks as he leads the blond to the table and makes him sit down.

"Tired…sore…when did you get here Kurokocchi…?" the blond basketball player asks.

"Not too long ago. Kise-kun, what happened?" he asks, the blond visibly tenses, he watches as the blond lowers his gaze to the table. Sighing, the blond looks back up at them. "Kise-kun?"

"Haizaki," hearing the name leave his mouth, both of the other teens stare at him with shock. "He came to the apartment and…well…" he trials off as he looks away. "He attacked me and started yelling about how im not good at anything but copying people, that im not strong, that I couldn't even beat you or Kagamicchi in a practice match or how even as a model people don't really like me, how they just put up with me and…and…." He trails off as tears gather in his honey, golden eyes. Frowning, Kuroko, gets up, walks over and wraps his arms around the blond he had a soft spot for.

The blue haired teen had always known Kise was a sensitive guy and had always had doubts about himself being part of the GoM, but he didn't think that Haizaki would go as far as attacking the blond. He then looks up over at Kagami whose fist where clenched tightly and glaring down at the table. Sighing, Kuroko continues to hug the taller teen and run his hand through his golden colored hair. He could feel sobs wracking the blond's body. He had his face in his hands as he tried to hold back the tears, pulling out his phone, he looks down to see a message from Aomine.

Aomine: Akashi confirmed it, it was Haizaki. Apparently the neighbors saw the whole thing happen and didn't do a damn thing about it! Anyway, he wants all of us to meet. Even Kise, bring him if he's feeling well enough, if not, we'll go to you.

Sighing, he leaves a quick replay saying that he believed it would be best if they met up here. The blond wasn't in any condition to go out.

"Hey, don't believe what he said. You're a strong player! I mean, you almost won against Aomine! Haizaki has no right to say what he did." Kagami explains, the blond then looks up at him with teary eyes. "Look, I know you told me once you're considered the weakest member of the GoM. But that's why you practice, that's why you train, to get better. And besides, your captain and team think your one hell of a strong player, you were able to copy all of Aomine's techniques. You're amazing. Don't let that asshole tell you otherwise." Kise then smiles through the tears, but the tears themselves didn't stop, Kagami smiles as he ruffles the blond's hair. "Now, go and wash your face." Nodding the blond gets up and walks away. Sighing, he looks at Kuroko who was still on his phone. "Who is it?"

"Aomine-kun. They want to all meet up here so im sending them your address. Akashi-kun wishes to have a word with Kise-kun." He explains, nodding the taller teen gets up and starts to pull out several pots and pans. "You don't have to cook for us Kagami-kun."

"Might as well, the rest of you haven't eaten anything yet and the most Kise ate was a bowl of fruit." The red head explains as he continues to prepare a meal for the group. Smiling Kuroko walks up and pats him on the back. "Besides, what kind of friend would I be if I didn't cook for you at least once in a while?" he asks with a smile, this causes the smaller male to blush and nod.

"A normal one." He says, causing the taller to glare at him slightly, but then chuckle. Looking over he sees Kise come back from washing his face, looking much better than before. "How are you feeling?"

"Sore." Kise answers as he sits down and slumps over on the table. "Eh, Kagamicchi maybe I should head back to my apartment, get some cloths so you have these back." The red head then shakes his head, confusing the smaller male. "Eh?"

"Don't worry about it, right now it's best if you stay here at my place. For now anyway." Kise nods slowly, but makes no move to get up from the table. Sighing he winces and touches his lower lip. It was busted, he was pretty sure that he had bruises all over his arms, and on his face. Lifting the oversized shirt, he could see several bruises all over his ribs. Sighing he pulls the shirt back down and looks up at Kuroko who once again was on his phone.

"Kurokocchi, who are you texting?" he asks swinging his feet under the table, the blue haired teen then looks at the blond. "It's the others. They are on their way here." this causes the other basketball player to tilt his head to the side.

"Eh…why?" he asks, but before the smaller teen could answer there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Kagami calls, once the door opens Kise gets a shocked look seeing what he could describe the most pissed off look on Aomine's face he had ever seen since knowing the taller male. The blond couldn't help but start to feel very uneasy. "What's with the face?" Kagami asks as he walks out from the kitchen.

"Kise…" the dark skinned male growls, this causes the blond to get up and run into the living room with the taller after him. "DON'T YOU RUN FROM ME GOD DAMN IT!" the male yells as he then grabs the blond by the back of the oversized shirt and pulls him to his chest, expecting to be hit the blond flinches. "Why the fuck are you flinching for? Im pissed because you didn't call us as soon as that asshole attacked you!" the yells, this causes the blond to look up at him with shock.

"Y-You know…?" he nods, soon the glare disappears and a frown appears on his face. "What?"

"Your lip…and you have a pretty nasty bruise on your cheek…" he mumbles, as he gently caresses the blond's blue and purple cheek. Then a low growl can be heard coming from Aomine. "Akashi…"

"I am well aware of his injuries. But I need you to calm down and let him go." Groaning, he does as he's told, once free the blond turns around only to see all of the GoM gathered around the kitchen table.

"Eh…Kise-chin. Your lip's bleeding…" Murasakibara explains with a small frown, bringing his fingers to his lip, and pulling back he could see that his lip was indeed bleeding.

"Come here Kise," Midorima commands, not wanting to piss them off more than he already were. He walks over and sits down in front of the green haired the other male then set down a first aid kit on the table. "I can't believe you didn't treat his wounds Kagami." He green haired teen scolds, throwing a glare his way, as he then proceeds to gently use an alcohol pad to clean the cut on his lip, only to cause the blond to flinch.

"Midorimacchi…it hurts…" the blond whines as he attempts to pull away, but the other teens hand shoots out and grabs the back of the blond's head keeping him in place. This causes the said teen to whine even more. "Midorimacchi!"

"Hush, it could be a lot worse! Take the shirt off." Frowning he nods and grabs the hems of the shirt, but as he lifts his arms up, he winces, noticing, this Aomine walks over and helps the blond.

"Thank you Aominecchi." The blond mumbles, but he then looks away to the ground as he sees the looks of shock that appear on their faces as they see several cuts, and bruises littler his upper body.

"Well, those cuts don't look so bad." Midorima explains as he begins to place small band aids on his upper body. The green haired teen was a worry wart when it came to anyone on the GoM who got hurt, plus it was a good way from him to get ready for life after high school so he can become a doctor. "There, that should work. Now, mind telling us why you didn't tell us anything. Some of those cuts look days old!" the other teen scolds, this causes the blond to flinch.

"No need to yell at me Midorimacchi…and, I didn't tell you because I couldn't…" he mumbles. This causes the rest to stare at him with confusion. "I…" he trials off as he looks down at his hands which where resting in his lap. "I couldn't call anyone….i couldn't even leave my apartment…he...he showed up the day I said I wasn't going to show up to practice….he…"

"He kept you locked in your own apartment!?" Aomine asks with anger, the blond flinches as he jumps up from the chair and moves away from the taller male. This causes the group to look at him with shock.

"He….he tied me up…and kept me in that closest that you found me in Kagamicchi….i couldn't scream or yell…he had me gaged…I wasn't allowed to leave that closet, I couldn't defend myself as he would beat me every day…the only reason you found the apartment door open today was because he made the mistake of trying to…" he trials off as he grabs the hem of the shirt and pulls it further down, his whole body was shaking and that only causes the GoM and Kagami to stare at him with shock and worry. Taking a deep breath he continues.

"Kise…did he try to…" Midorima asks, the blond nods, suddenly they hear a growl come from Aomine.

"But, he didn't…as soon as I felt that he loosened the ropes around my ankles and hands, I fought back…that's why Kagamicchi found my apartment trashed, and found me like this in the closet. As soon as he noticed that there was no way he was going to get me back tied up he ran off." The blond finishes, he was shaking slightly, probably because he was scared of how the GoM were going to react towards him after hearing all of this, sighing Kagami walks over and places a cup of tea in front of the blond.

"Here, this should help you calm down a bit." He mumbles, nodding in a silent thank you, he picks the cup up and drinks from it slowly.

"But, why where you still in the closet after he left? Why didn't you call us?" Kuroko asks, the blond looks at his shorter friend.

"I was scared…I didn't know if he was going to come back or not…so I just stayed in there…and I didn't want to get you guys involved with my problems…it's a hassle." He jumps as he hears Aomine slam his hand on the table, causing the group to stare at him.

"A hassle? Your problem? It becomes all of our problem when you get hurt! Damn it Kise! You should have called me! I would have been there in no time and you know this! I slugged him once and god fucking damn it I'll do it again!" he yells, Kise then stares at him with shock. Then the dark skinned male sighs as he runs his hand through his hair. "Kise, we were all worried sick about you."

"He's telling the truth," Turning to see Kagami putting plates full of food down on the table. "All of you guys are some of the harshest people I've ever met, if they felt as if you were a hassle, they would tell you, and if they didn't want to help you, then you can call me and Kuroko and we would rush over to help. Got it?" hearing that the blond smiles, full on crying now, sighing and smiling fondly at the GoM, Kagami watches as Aomine rushes and hugs the blond, and soon enough the others join in as well.

"Get your ass over here Kagami." Aomine growls as he reaches over, grabs the front of his shirt and brings him into the hug. Rolling his eyes, he gently pets the smaller teen's head. "Next time I see that bastard I'm kicking his ass."

"You're not going to do anything!" Kise scolds, causing the group to pull away and stare at him. "Aominecchi I don't want you getting into trouble just because-"

"He tried to rape you for fuck's sake! Don't worry about me, I've punched him before and look, I wasn't caught." He says as a grin appears on his face. "Besides, I wouldn't mind doing it again for your sake." The blond blushes as he looks away, causing the taller teen to stare at him with confusion. "Eh, oi, Kise why is your face red?" he asks as he watches the taller teen bury his face into Akashi's midsection, when had their ex- captain decided to stand in front of him was beyond the blue haired male.

"Aominecchi said something nice…." The blond mumbles, causing the red headed male to smile and pet his head. "And he said it to me…."

"I am well aware of who he said it to Kise." He says, then he pulls away from the blond and looks at Kagami. "May I ask why you're making so much food?"

"For you guys. You haven't eaten since this morning right? Well there you go. Dig in." he says, nodding Akashi sits down along with the others.

"Kagamicchi is so kind!" the model says, causing the taller teen to roll his eyes, but he doesn't say bother saying anything to the cheerful blond. "Eh, you guys are practicing tomorrow too right?"

"That's what Mido-chin says." Murasakibara tells him then the tallest of the GoM looks at the blond. "But, I don't think you should practice yet Kise-chin."

"He has a point. You should just rest for a day or two." Kuroko adds in this causes the blond to pout.

"But, but, but…I don't wanna…im going to get bored! And Senpai is going to wonder why I'm not practicing!" he complains, rolling his eyes Aomine looks at Kuroko.

"Don't worry, I've already informed him about what happened." He tells the teen, nodding Akashi turns to look at the blond who had a look of complete horror on his face.

"You told Senpai!? Why!? Now I'm defiantly going to get a call from him later. Boo…." He whines, causing Aomine to laugh at him. The whole group knew of Kise's fear of his shorter captain. The male was aggressive and knew how to keep the blond under control, not jumping off the walls, full of energy like he normally was. And they also knew that the blond didn't like bothering Kasamatsu whenever he got sick or hurt. The older male would go out of his way to make sure the blond was okay, even going as far as cooking for him and coming by to check on him. In Kasamatsu's words Kise was 'just a baby who needed to be watched over by all of the Kaijō team.' And true to his words, Kise, like Murasakibara, needed to be watched at all times by someone. "Not funny guys! He's worse than a doting mother hen!" he pouts, this causes Akashi to pat him on the head, but he stops and gently runs his hand on the blond's head.

"Kise, be honest with me," he states, this causes the blond to look up at him.

"I'm always honest with you." He says simply, this causes the red head to give him a sad, fond smile.

"Good, now did he strike you over the head with something by any chance?" Kise then takes a moment to think about it. Had he? He couldn't really recall.

"Umm…actually, I don't really remember if he did or not…" he explains, leaning his head into his captain's hand. Sighing the blond closes his eyes.

In truth, he did remember, he remembered every last thing that happened to him while Haizaki was there. In truth, the other had gotten his way with him, but by the looks of it, they didn't seem to catch on with this lie, but he had managed to fight back and the taller teen did leave after he saw that Kise was not going to allow him to have his way with him.

"Oi, don't fall asleep at the table." Aomine tells him, this causes the blond to snort and look up at him, the dark skinned boy was the last person he wanted to hear that from. He would fall asleep anywhere and everywhere. Hearing that sound escape the blond the taller male stares at him with confusion. "What?"

"Nothing Aominecchi…Kagamicchi, thank you for helping me." Kise suddenly thanks the bigger boy, this causes the red headed teen to rub the back of his neck and look away. Kise giggles at the action.

"A-ah…it was nothing. Anyone would have done it. I would have done it with anyone really…" he mumbles with a blush. This causes the blond to smile up at him. He then looks up at the GoM, all of them talking amongst themselves, enjoying the food that Kagami had made for them. Sighing he merely watches. He was lucky that Kuroko had managed to beat all of them and change them back to their old ways of thinking. He was grateful for that, he was now able to be in the same room with the people he used to love being around again.

"Kurokocchi, Kagamicchi thank you…for everything." The said teens then look at the blond who had a fond smile on his face as he watched the other GoM talk to one another. "I haven't seen them this happy to be together, not since middle school. This is only possible becase of you two, because you guys managed to beat them, and change their way of thinking…so, thank you." He explains, smiling both Kuroko and Kagami give him a small nod.

"Oi, Kise," looking up, Aomine was now leaning back in the chair. "If you ever feel unsafe, or don't want to walk home alone from school, you give me a call alright?" hearing that causes the blond to blush and nod. "Good, now I'll get going. I promised Satsuki that I would go shopping with her today. And we all know how she gets if I don't keep that promise." Kagami then stares at them as they all (Other than Kuroko Kise, and Akashi he dully noted.) let out a groan.

"Well, then don't make her promises Daiki." Akashi tells him as he takes a small sip of tea then looks at the blond. "Ryota I need to speak with you once you're a little calmer." Even if that sounded as if it would just be statement, it was a command. Nodding the blond wave's good bye to Aomine who then says his good byes and leaves. Suddenly the blond yelps as he is picked up. Looking up he blushes seeing Kagami was the one carrying him.

"Alright, that was enough for today, head to bed. I'll call your captain later so that he can come and walk with you to school tomorrow." Nodding while still blushing the taller teen then sets him down in front of guest room's door, waving to the others he walks in and closes the door sighing, the red head rubs the back of his neck and looks up at the remaining GoM. "He's lying about Haizaki not having his way with him." he states plainly. "I wanted to wait to point that out, if Aomine had found out, he would have flipped out and caused a bigger problem."

"No don't worry, it was a wise idea. Daiki is a very protective and won't hesitate to harm another person who has harmed any of us. It's his personality." Akashi explains as he crosses his arms over his chest. Don't worry, im sure he will tell us the truth once he feels ready. He never lies to me, and if he does, he can't keep it up for long." The teen explains, Kagami nods as he turns to look at the guest room where the blond was now asleep. "Well, I believe it is time that we leave," Akashi says as the rest of the GoM nod as get up. "I appreciate that you cooked for us, thank you." With that he bows slightly and walks out with the others saying their own good byes.

"Kise-kun should break down again later tonight. Please take good care of him Kagami-kun." Kuroko says as he waves good bye then walks out of the apartment. Locking the door he sighs and rubs the back of his neck, he didn't know how he was going to deal with emotional Kise. He didn't know the blond as well as the Generation of Miracles did, if he knew him at all. Although he did talk to him here and there, but that was because of the fact that model was best friends with Kuroko. Looking up he could see Kise standing in door way of the guest room, he looked a little guilty, scared even.

"Hey."

"Hey…Kagamicchi, I seriously think that-"

"You're staying here for a while. At least until we can get Haizaki dealt with." Kagami cuts in as he walks up to the blond and ruffles his hair. This causes the blond to smile slightly. "Off to bed with you. I had Kuroko call Kasamatsu so that tomorrow he brings you a change of clothes and walk you to school." Nodding Kagami then goes to the kitchen and turns the light off.

"Night Kagamicchi." The blond mumbles, the red head nods.

"Night Kise."
