Hello, my dear readers. Recently I've been bugging by an idea that popped into my head while studying. And so, this new story is born. Please don't kill me for not updating the my other stories *hide behind shields*. I'm still in process of writing chapter for Love diary, so don't worry, ok!
This is set in an AU universe, with pairing GOMXKuroko (GOM are madly in love with Kuroko and Kuroko loves them madly, too). I've been tempted to write a fiction where Kuroko and GOM are vampires but that idea has been used a lot and I don't like repetition. So I decided to borrow idea from another franchise. Can anyone tell me which franchise I crossed with KnB ;)?
Also in this story I employ the dark mysterious writing style unlike the other fics. Hope u'll like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basket for it belongs to Fujimaka Tadatoshi.
Enjoy the story. R&R, plz!
Chapter 1 : Lu li la lu li la
Lu li la lu li la
Was it the flowers blooming?
No, it was blood overflowing.
Was it the sound of droplets?
No, it was the beat of the heart.
It was a dark place. With nobody.
But him.
A boy was in his slumber.
Waiting for his people to come and awaken him.
So he continued waiting
And sleeping.

-o0o-
So, what will we do from now on?
Let's wait. After all, we have unlimited time in our hands.
But it will be boring~!
For the time being, let's split up and do what we want! When that time comes, we will reunite.
Sounds like a good idea to me!

It was a beautiful moonlit night. Tokyo city was decorated with flashing neon lights flickering brightly and belittling even the stars. People in the city were enjoying their night with blissful ignorance of the dark.
At the top of Teiko Corporation Headquarter stood one young man with brilliant red hair. With an overwhelming aura and piercing hetochromatic eyes, he could easily make even the toughest man go down to his knee and tremble in fear. He watched over the whole city with displeasure, irritated by how fake the lights were and how those contaminated the pure blackness of the splendid night. The young man let out a sigh and his breath quickly became white puffy smoke in the night's cold air.
Despite being at the top of the skyscraper, he could see every human bustling through the street in the very thin crowd with his enhanced vision. Enthusiastically making their way through the crowd, they all seemed happy and contended with life, some of them even hand in hand with their partners. The red-haired man regarded the scene with an uninterested expression. His life right now was empty, boring and- though he would never admit it- lonely.
A flash of signal through his mind. And the man smirked.
"That life would soon be over… when he had returned by my side".
-o0o-
Flash flash flash
"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"
"Please look at this way."
Crowds of girls were currently standing on a street yelling and squealing, all for one blond boy who was currently giving his autograph and posing for his fans. After deeming it was enough, his bodyguards intervened and blocked between him and the fangirls, preventing the hysteric from bothering the blond. Understanding it was time for him to take his leave, the blond man flashed his disarming charming smile and waved to the girls, whose inside turned mushy at the brilliant sight of the boy smiling.
"I love you, Kise-sama!"
"Please marry me, Kise-sama!"
"He's the best~!"
The blond continued to wave until he was pushed inside a car by his manager. Even after the car had left, the fangirls still continued their squealing; some of them even chased after the car. Only after 5 minutes of driving did the sound of girls' high-pitch squealing die down and Kise's manager started the conversation.
"Really… though having dealt with your fangirls for 1 year, I still get tired after every encounter."
"Don't worry, Kasamatsu-senpai. You'll get used to it. Here's some water to refresh your energy", Kise smilingly handed a bottle of mineral water to his manager, which the man accepted willingly.
When the blond was about to say something, he suddenly felt a spark of signal through his mind. Though the change in his facial expression was only in a brief moment, it didn't go unnoticed by Kasamatsu.
"What's wrong, Kise? Are you tired?"
"Ah nothing, senpai. Can you ask the driver to drive faster? You know, for my beauty sleep", Kise said, smiling sheepishly at his manager.
"I thought so too. You could have asked him yourself, you know", Kasamatsu replied with a frown, nevertheless, he still complied to the blond's wish.
As the car was speeding through the night street, Kise was watching the scene going away through the car's window. And on his face was a happy smile.
"Finally, I can be with you again"
-o0o-
"Leaving so soon, Shin-chan? Are you tired from three surgeries in a row today? ", the dark-haired man said teasingly to the green-haired man.
"Stop bothering me, Takao. I have some unfinished business to take care of at home, so I'm taking my leave early", the man called Shin-chan retorted with a frown while packing his suitcase.
"Okay okay… stop frowning, Shin-chan. They say it will bring more wrinkles to your face when you get old."
"Then stop bugging me" "It's not like I'm gonna get old, anyways" "… and stop calling me with that stupid nickname."
The green-haired man made his way out of his office in quick stride, leaving behind the black-haired man who grinned widely while mumbling something like "What a tsundere!"
"What a waste of time! Just when I have something important to attend to."
-o0o-
A tall purple-haired man, whose height nobody could compare, was putting some vanilla-flavored cupcakes into a small box in his kitchen when another man entered the room. The giant only took a brief glance of the other before returning his gaze back to the box.
"Murasakibara-san, will those cupcakes be sufficient for you? If you need more, there are still some cakes left you can take home."
"Huh, who says this is for me?", the giant lazily replied.
"Oh, can I ask who these cupcakes are for?", the other man asked interestedly. It was rare for Murasakibara to save sweets for others.
"Someone very important to me"
Then, the violet-haired man took the box and walked with lazy step to the kitchen's door. Just when he was about to get out the room, the man turned around and flashed a smile to the other, who got surprised by the action of the purple-haired man.
"Tomorrow, I'll be here early. I think I just had an idea for my new cake."
"A cake dedicated for his return."
-o0o-
"Hey, Aomine, what are you gonna do tonight?"
A guy who could easily fit the description of "a dark tall handsome man" was arranging his paper on the table and putting them into the nearby drawers. He lifted his face up for a second to look at his colleague and then answered the asked question with no hesitation.
"I'm gonna go and meet one person tonight", the tanned guy replied, locking his desk drawers and beginning to put his belongings to his bag.
"Ooh, Aomine, tell me, is she the one you just talked about this morning?"
"No", Aomine denied hurriedly, "and don't jump to the conclusion that everyone I meet at night is girl".
"So it's a man?"
However, the question was left unanswered this time as the tanned man made his way towards the door while yawing loudly. Understanding the implying meaning of the silence as "None of your business", the other just shrugged and called out to Aomine: "Remember, tomorrow don't be late like today, okay? We're having an important meeting tomorrow morning."
Aomine waved half-heartedly at the reminder of his colleagues as he walked out of the police headquarter. He took one deep breath, feeling the cold air of the night refreshing his mind and lung, and exhaled. The spark of signal was getting stronger.
"So it's finally time"
The tanned police grinned at the thought. One strong wind, out of the blue, blew, bringing forth the chill of the night. And at the street where Aomine previously stood, there was no one.
-o0o-
"Looks like everybody is here."
The redhead, still standing majestically at the top of the skyscraper, turned around to greet those who would arrive very soon. Like what he had predicted, four figures arrived in blinding speed that looked as if they just appeared out of thin air. The five men then engaged themselves into a staring competition, nobody speaking anything until…
"Mou, everyone, stop looking so hostile like that. It's been such a long time since we last met each other. So… why not a group hug?", Kise spoke in his usual child-like tone, pouting at his friends but ready to give a death hug to anyone who also shared his sentiment.
"Jeez, stop your act, Kise. After all these time, you still didn't drop that stupid expression of yours", the green-haired man spoke, pushing up his glasses.
"Yeah, Kise-chin, you're getting creepier and creepier", Murasakibara commented while shuffling his hand in a potato chips' bag.
"Mou~, you guys are so mean", Kise ranted, faking crocodile tears, "It's been 50 years since we last had a reunion like this and you're still not nice to little pretty me."
Aomine, ignoring Kise's dramatic rant, chose to talk to the redhead. "Oi, Akashi. Why choose the top of your company as the damn meeting place? Of course, we can get here but aren't you scared that people might see us?"
"Now Daiki, you're being paranoid. I guess working as a police has started to shrug on you. I never think that humans have the ability to see us when we move at high speed. After all, they are all inferior beings to us", Akashi said firmly, smirking at how pathetic humans were compared to them.
"Let's cut to the main topic. All of you have been feeling it these days, haven't you?", Akashi asked despite already knowing the answer, his mismatched eyes holding a dangerous glint.
Kise immediately stopped his drama show to put on a serious demeanor. He was also the one who took the iniative to answer Akashi's question.
"Yeah, I first felt it a week ago but it was very faint. However, today, the signal has become stronger and it's been ringing in my head for a while now."
Midorima, Murasakibara and Aomine, also sharing the same answer, simply nodded to express their agreement. Needless to say, being together for a really long time had acquainted themselves with the others' personality and mindset.
"So have I. Tonight will mark a week since the first signal, which means that time has come. Time for us to reunite again after 50 years."
Akashi then smiled mysteriously at his companions. Aomine and Kise couldn't contain their own excitement, their face cracked into a devilish smirk. Midorima just pushed up his glasses, his face betrayed nothing but a mischievous glint reflected in his glasses. Murasakibara's mouth tilted up a bit as he opened a new bag of snack.
"Well then, my brothers, it's time we started our trip."
And five figures disappeared into the cold breeze of the dark sky, leaving no trace behind.
"Into the darkness once more"
-o0o-
Written in an old document in 1508
"Ancient ones", as ancient as it may sound, have been living among us since time immemorial.
They can be ugly creatures, hideous as they can be.
But they can assume appearance that can compare with that of angels.
They are also bestowed with wisdom, possibly as intelligent as us humans.
Nevertheless, no matter what looks they take, no matter how smart they are, remember one thing, they are the most dangerous beings that have ever existed.
Because human blood, they feed themselves on."
-o0o-
Somewhere inside a basement, which was illuminated by blue lamps attached to the wall, footsteps, clashing against the metal floor, could be heard resonating in the eerie silence of the secret place. Five figures walked and walked until they reached their desired destination: a large metal door with intricate lock and set of identification machines besides it.
"Akashi, I thought you have hired guards to guard the door. But where are they?", Midorima asked, curious as to the absence of the supposed guards of the place.
"You'll see them soon, Shintarou", Akashi just simply smiled.
The redhead typed some passwords into the machine, had his fingerprint and eyes scanned and after that, the door opened. Five men walked into a large dark room with the only source of light from the outside. However, with or without light, they could still see. As they walked deeper into the dark, their nostrils picked up a very familiar scent, a scent of something that they depended on for their life. It got stronger and stronger with every footstep they took.
Then, they arrived at a faint blue light.
They saw something.
And they smiled.
Lying on the floor were two guards whom they were supposed to see outside the door. Their face were contorted into in an expression of extreme shock. And both of them were lying in a pool of red blood.
But that was not what caught five men's attention.
There was another presence besides those lifeless bloody corpses.
Lu li la lu li la lu li la
A lullaby could be heard.
Long baby blue hair framed his face and cascaded on the floor.
Pale unhealthy skin glowed under the faint light above him.
Lifeless aqua eyes were half-lidded, staring intently at the lifeless bodies.
Tongue trailed seductively along slim fingers stained with blood.
It was an eerie yet ethereal sight to behold.
A young naked boy was sitting on the floor, like a beautiful doll covered with red paint.
And then life was blown into the seemingly dead doll. He smiled.
His smile resembled that of a devil pretending to be an angel and vice versa.
And so, the game of survival had begun.
Lu li la lu li la lu li la
Argh, so many paragraphs and short sentence.
So... should I continue or discontinue?
