Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basket or the character.
Summary: Behind the calm, polite and selfless façade, Kuroko is actually one of the cruelest, merciless and maybe sadistic assassins which earn him a name 'oni' which basically means demon with an alias called Kuro Tetsu.
Authors Note: Okay. This is my second fanfic and I am still relatively new to it. I will be posting this once per week and I'll try to make it longer. But if I did not post means I am busy. No promise. Please understand. This does not happen in the anime or manga except for some events. IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OKAY? Also, Kuroko does not really have lack of presence. I know I know, a Kuroko without lack of presence is not Kuroko but this is a fanfic. This will be a slow story rather than a fast one like my previous work. There will be romance but not so obvious in the first few chapters. This is my first time in my life writing a romance fanfic so it will not be good.
Warning: ooc especially Kuroko. It is a cruel, merciless Kuroko. Slight AU. Some disturbing scenes. Unbetaed/English error. Words. AkaKuro. One sided KagaKuro.
CHAPTER One
3.00pm (Wednesday)
Ring.
The bells signalling the end of class excite the student in the class. Most of them quickly packed their bag and go out of the class not before they greet the teacher goodbye. The teacher just sighed slightly and went out of the room.
"Oi Kuroko! Since there is no practice today, do you want to hang out in Maji Burger?" Kagami turned around to face the bluenette who was sitting behind him. After defeating Kaijo in a practice match, Riko the coach gave them a day to rest. (Practice day is on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday)
"Ah. Kagami kun. I don't think I can make it. I needed to go home soon." Kuroko said politely remembering this morning.
.
"Bocchan.* Please come home early today." Tanaka, the head butlers said while putting a plate of pancakes on the long table.
"Why." Kuroko said coldly without even looking at him as he starts digging into his breakfast alone.
"You have work to do, Bocchan." Tanaka said politely.
Kuroko just continue to eat without replying. Tanaka knows that it means 'I know' after being in this household for a long period of time.
.
"Oh. I guess it can't be helped then." Kagami said feeling a little disappointed.
Kuroko give a smile to Kagami and he left the classroom not before Kuroko caught sight of the blushing teen.
When he reached home, he was greeted by all the servants (which are a lot).
"Welcome home Bocchan." Greeted the servants but was ignored by Kuroko.
"This way please." Tanaka said to Kuroko while leading him to where he will be doing his 'work'.
They soon reached one of the room located at the basement and was greeted by a man who has a wavy short raven hair and a ridiculous looking monocle which is the client.
"Ah. Good afternoon. I suppose you are Kuro Tetsu san?" The said man smile as he stood up from his comfy chair and approach Kuroko with a hand stick out.
Kuroko returned a handshake with a tint of boredness as the two sit on the sofa chairs with a table in the middle.
"Tanaka. Tea." Kuroko ordered as Tanaka left the room to prepare tea for the guest and Kuroko.
"Ah. I am Mikado Ruka, the secretary of Nakamura Hideki-"
"Straight to business." Kuroko interrupted Mikado coldly.
"Ah sorry. " Mikado takes out the business suitcase beside the sofa and places it on the table. He opened the suitcase and it consist of many bills of money along with a small documents kept in an envelope. He takes out the contents inside the envelope and passes it to Kuroko. "This is your target. He is Kudo Akito the president of the Kudo co. and is the one who is a bug nuisance to Nakamura co. Nakamura president wishes for you to rid this Kudo Akito."
Kuroko grabbed a red framed study glasses from the table and studied the documents which include the pictures and the needed information of Kudo Akito. (YES! Kuroko with glasses. *nosebleed*)
"This is the deposit; it is exactly two million dollar. After the work is done, the remaining three million will be sent to you." Mikado continued.
Knock knock.
"Here is your tea." Tanaka bowed as he place the tea on the table. He smiled and left the room automatically.
Kuroko pick up the tea as he drinks still looking at the documents given to him. Kuroko have a photographic memory which means he can remember just by looking at it. Silence filled the air as Kuroko is still flipping through the paper.
"…"
"…"
"It is an honour to have the oni aka demon to aid us. You are quite well known in the underworld. Oni. Everybody knows this name very well. The assassin who kills his targets mercilessly and quickly. So quickly that the victims does not even realise they are dead. All witnesses are killed on the spot. I can't believe a kid like you-" Mikado said excitedly until he was face with a pocket knife that leaves his face just by a few centimetres.
Kuroko did not really care about his nicknames or what, but he is very sensitive about his age and height. Being called a kid is very intolerant for him. Kuroko stood up and take out a pocket knife he had kept in his pocket all the time and point in at Mikado's face. Even though he kept his blank face, you can spot a smirk on his face and a small tint of anger can be felt.
"Hmmm~ Where do you want a scar to be at?" Kuroko said playfully as he moves the pocket knife to his right eye and another hand taking his glasses out. "A scar on the eye sounds great."
"N-No. P-please." Mikado cried as his eyes wide open begging for his life, "I-I-I am very s-sorry."
"Hmm…." Kuroko pretended not to hear a thing and push the pocket knife nearer causing the cold tip to come in contact slowly.
"AHHHHH!" A scream from the room can be heard as blood filled the room with a scared man on the chair begging for his life. No one bothered to find out what happen because they know best than to interrupt their bocchan.
"Have you learnt you lesson~?" Kuroko smiled innocently and Mikado nodding frantically with one hand on his right eye. Blood oozing out rapidly like a waterfall.
"Good." Kuroko satisfied with his answer. He called, "Tanaka."
Tanaka immediately come in and bows slightly. "Clean up the mess." Kuroko ordered as he sits back down.
"Back to business, I will accept the job. Go back to your owner and tell him that. Understand?" Kuroko said stoically. Mikado nodded still feeling frightened and walks out of the house as fast as possible.
After he sees that Mikado is completely gone, Kuroko smirked and looked at his target's picture.
"Looks like I won't be bored for the time being." He whispered.
Tanaka move the bloodied chair out of the room with some help from other servants and move the brand new one in. The bloodied chair is thrown into another room which contain bloodied rug, table, chairs and many other things. The room is stench with blood and is dark.
Screams, are common in this household whenever their bocchan is here. No one dared to defy him. Because they know, one wrong move can cause their life. In fact, all of them know that Kuroko is an assassin. They see different client with a suitcase in and out. They served them all day long.
.
"This house is f-ing crazy!"Mikado cursed as he leaves the estate. "What the f- is wrong with this people especially that Kuro Tetsu?!"
He walked up to his car and finds a first aid kit. He grabs the bandage and covers his right eye clumily. He winced as he touched his right eye and start driving. He drives the car which goes right and left and right rather than in a straight line since he cannot really see well with one eye. But fortunately, there are no cars since it is a secluded area. "F-" He cursed another time and go to the nearest hospital. He probably cannot see with his right eye anymore.
.
Kuroko went up to his preparation room, like the name, to prepare his weapons for his job. There are various weapons in the room varying from short range like swords to long range like sniper. Kuroko put on his black coloured clothes and put two pistols in the holster located at his right and left thigh. He also grabbed a short knife and hides it in his breast pocket. He wears black gloves to avoid getting fingerprints. He doesn't really need to hide it actually since he can move very fast that people hardly see him and thus giving people thoughts that he has lack of presence which is not true but he just go on with it to avoid suspicion.
"Bocchan." Tanaka said by the door since the door is not closed. He saw that Kuroko only have two pistol and one short knife. "Bocchan! Are you going with that only?"
"Yes. What's with the problem? These are my usual weapons." Kuroko raised an eyebrow at his butler weird reaction. It is not the first time Tanaka saw the weapons anyway.
"I always tell you this but I think it is best with a shotgun or a rifle. They have better damage."
"Tanaka. It is not the first day you know me. You know that I hate guns especially heavy guns. They slow me down. Besides I don't think I even need a weapon." Kuroko said tiredly. True. Kuroko don't really need a weapon. He excels in martial arts and normally pinned down the opponent bare handed then killed using a knife. Pistols are only 'extras' when the target is far from a range that is unreachable.
Tanaka sighed in resignation and said, "Right. I understand."
Kuroko said nothing. He licks his upper lip and smile sadistically. "I hope I get some fun from it tonight. An easy target will be too boring."
.
7.00pm
Kuroko sat on the black car provided and signal the driver to go. Kuroko look outside to view the scenery. It is beautiful. It is night time and the lamp post lighted dimly along the town with many people. The front lights of the many vehicles make the scenario more beautiful. Even in the car, bustling noise can be heard. Kuroko enjoy this slight moment. He wishes to make the town more beautiful by adding screams and paint it red. Ah. How beautiful will that be?
7.30pm
"We are here, bocchan." The driver interrupts his train of thoughts. Kuroko look out and saw a tall building standing in the middle of the town.
"Stay here until I am back." Kuroko said simply and prepare to leave the car.
"Yes. Please be careful."
"Hm. Who do you think you are talking to?" Kuroko said coldly.
"I am sorry." Kuroko smirked and go out of the car.
Kuroko stand in front of the building and look up.
This building shall be the first to be painted red.
He run into the building without being caught sight by the guards and go straight to the top floor where Kudo Akito will be at.
Standing in front of the room with a sign hanging on the door stating 'President's room', Kuroko did something different from what he always does. He knocked the door giving his presence away. Normally, he always sneaked into the room and killed before the targets can see him.
"Yumiko? Come in." A masculine voice from the inside can be heard.
Kuroko opened the door and walk up to the table the president is.
"Just put the coffee there." The president said, busy reading some things from his laptop and did not look up.
"Kudo Akito. Unfortunately I am not your secretary, Abe Yumiko." Kuroko said causing the man to look up but before he can say anything, Kuroko point the knife at him.
"Birthdate 5 August. Age 45. Born in Okinawa Hospital. Cut ties with both parents due to some quarrel about this company. President of Kudo co, one of the most prominent companies in Japan. Married with Kobayashi Mai, age 40 and had a daughter, age 12, Kudo Mariko. Living in Tokyo. There is more." Kuroko said with ease from what he memorizes from the documents.
"W-Who are you?" Kudo manage to speak after being shock with a knife at his throat.
"Sadly. You have an enemy who wants you dead. Ne, Kudo Akito san~ According to your data, you are a black belt for Karate." Kuroko paused for a while making Kudo gulped.
"Will you play with me for a while? Well you see I expect a tough game from you ever since I see that you are a black belt." Kuroko smile and letting out a dark demeanour.
"G-Game?"
"Yes. Since it is a game, it will be unfair if I am the only one using weapon. So why not," Kuroko take one of the pistols from his holster and throw it to the president, "This will be your weapon. I will only be using this short knife." Kuroko throw the short knife up and catch it casually.
Kudo look down at his pistol and shake visibly. Sweats can be seen.
"B-But isn't it unfair? T-That I use a p-pistol while y-you use a knife?"
"Eh~" Kuroko let out a small chuckle and smiled darkly, "So you think you can win me huh? I will expect this not to end a few seconds." Kudo gulped loudly and said no more.
"Hmm… It will be boring if this end quickly. The battlefield will be this whole tower. I will count to thirty seconds and you can go hide while I stay here. Starting now~"
"Thirty. Twenty nine…" Hearing this, Kudo stunned for ten seconds before run out of the room.
All of the employees look at their president weirdly as Kudo run frantically.
Kudo quickly run out of the building hoping to find help but sadly, someone block his way causing him to bump to the floor. He looked up afraid to see who it is.
"Arara~ Kudo san. I think I said the battlefield is in the tower didn't I? I did not say anything about outside the tower." Kuroko, who was too fast, stand in front of Kudo after thirty seconds is up. Kuroko continue to throw his knife on the air and catch it like juggling. (Since the building is huge, Kudo takes more than 30 sec to go down)
Kudo grab the pistol and point it shakily at Kuroko. Kuroko smirked, "That's the way."
Kudo put his second finger on the trigger preparing to click. Kuroko however, did not make a move. He just stands there making no move to dodge or kill.
"Go on. Press the trigger." Kuroko taunted as he continue to play around with his gun.
Kudo press the trigger while closing his eyes.
He slowly opens his eyes to see if he shot the bluenette but, he miss. Kuroko is now nowhere to be found.
He panicked as he looks around to search the existence of him but to no avail. He relaxed his shoulder and put down the pistol thinking Kuroko is gone but part of him knows that he is not.
"Goodbye Kudo Akito san~" A teasing voice behind him can be heard but before he can react, a knife pierced through his lung from the back.
Passerbys was startled by the sudden collapse of the Kudo co. president as they cannot see Kuroko since he was too fast. Screams echoed as everyone began to run away. Someone call the police and ambulance. No one is near the corpse or nearby. Kuroko put the bloody knife to his lip as he licked the blood off.
"Ah~ That ended in just 5 minutes. Tsk. No fun at all." Kuroko whined boringly. He grab the pistol in the dead man's hand and put it in its original place then he takes out his phone to call the chauffeur.
"Done." He said and closed the phone.
Soon, the familiar black car came to sight. Kuroko open the door and ordered the driver to drive.
8.10pm (30 min to travel)
Kuroko went into the house as the servants greeted him as usual. Kuroko went to his room and took out his not so obvious blood stained black clothes plus all the stuff like the pistols and knife then throw it on the floor.
"Tanaka." He called and the said person came in.
"Wash it and prepare the bath." He commanded.
"Also. Call Mikado Ruka and tell him the job is done. Make sure to deliver exactly three millions by tomorrow. Any later than that, his head will be next."
Tanaka said a simple "yes" and proceeds to do his job with clothes in his hands.
Kuroko went to bath after Tanaka told him it is ready.
Of course, he is not hurt. Not even a scratch.
After a nice warm bath, he eat the dinner at the lonely long table with servants standing a bit further back in a long straight line. It might be uncomfortable to be looked at but for Kuroko, it is normal.
He finished his small but luxurious dinner in an hour and returned to his room. He takes some books from the bookshelf and immersed himself into reading until 10.00pm before going to sleep.
Note:
How is it? I'm not so sure whether should I continue this series or not because I don't think the plot is good or interesting so like continue for what…
