Hi everyone, BerryBliss here once again with a crazy story idea for all of you!
TWGOK is a special case among all the harem series I've watched, it's a gem of its own. S3... the FEELS. (Watchers know what I mean)
Now I'm starting to think it would have been better if I made this a reverse harem Fem!Kuro or something... too late for that. Maybe OC-centric? Not sure... If some of you want that, I could make a separate version of this xD
Disclaimer: Kuroko no Basuke is made by Fujimaki Tadatoshi-sensei, that basketball anime filled with bishies is not mine. And so is the World God Only Knows, the only harem anime in my anime list which made me fangirl... is not mine as well. All rights go to their respective owners.
Warning: OOC-ness, grammatical errors, typographical errors, indirect parodies (yes, you'll see a bit, but not that much to irk your otaku senses), and fluff. Serious fluff. But not more than that.
Pairings: It's written all over the story, the summary and well, pretty much everything, every pairing you can imagine with Kuroko in it, I won't be able to do that much though. You'd might as well call this story "The Harem Which Kuroko Has" but... no.
Well then, with all my heart I bring all of you this story of mine! Entitled: The World Phantom Only Knows! (Once again, sorry for that terribly long author's note)
Oh and by the way, I think I really need to research on positions, the usage of the word counselor varies so... -_- Please pardon my lack of abilities in this!
Edit: Full Summary here: Kagami Taiga and the Seirin angel unit find out the demons have a menacing plan to be executed at a month's time... and Kagami's job is to stop all of it, however he couldn't do it alone. He needs to find a "conqueror" who's capable of bringing out the "miracles" in certain chosen males... and this lands on a certain student in Teikou named Kuroko Tetsuya, who has almost no presence, and even Kagami has his doubts whether this would work. Could this be a new turning point to Kuroko's life in his own isolated world? And what actually makes him different from other humans to make the demons and angels be after him? (TWGOK like universe) (GoMKuro conquests)
"Damn... those demons are plotting something again!"
Hyuga Junpei, head counselor of the forces watching from above or Seirin angel unit or whatever you'd like to call it, was utterly desperate to end this meeting, however, that was unacceptable as long as Aida Riko was around.
Even though he was head counselor, that didn't mean he was the one in charge. Even amidst this table where they all sat in a circle, Aida Riko was the center of attention, and she wasn't the chief adviser for show.
"Hmm... this has indeed been quite a problem... and it seems there's only one way to solve this." She said while narrowing down the possibilities with the latest devices she had received from the higher-ups, specifically God... but then again, who said heaven was low-tech?
"Well... we should take it easy for now, we had just survived a battle with Hell so..." Eyes turned to look at Kiyoshi Teppei who had made the said suggestion, and thanks to this, he had received a heavenly slap on the back from Hyuga telling him to shut up and just listen to orders, followed by Teppei pointing out that if they always stuck to orders and instructions, the variation of the results wouldn't change at all... and currently, they were really out of options to even choose from.
"So moving on Riko... what is this way you speak of?"
"You see Teppei, everyone... The demons are planning a conspiracy against Earth, and many lives are at stake as we speak. I trust you are all aware of that, right?"
She had received agreeing nods and she moved on to showing them the planet scan results she had received, pointing at one particular country.
"... Japan?" Koganei Shinji questioned with his cat-like expression, and in the living or in the dead zone, he was still like that, and to normal eyes, it seemed like nothing changed. But if you saw with eyes like theirs, if you saw all of what was beneath through the view above... then you would know that things have changed.
Everything did.
From the people's freedom to the world's laws, even the slightest details of everyone's lives...
"Yes, recent activity there arouses suspicion. I have told Mitobe to investigate where these signal warnings of large power are coming from, and it seems to come from certain... human beings, no one knows where those powers come from, so I have decided to mark their locations, and they all pinpoint to one location." Riko nodded at Mitobe, who remained the silent worker and displayed the outcome for all of them to see.
"...And that is?" Izuki Shun who had been quiet for the whole time now, stood up from his heavenly seat (I think you get the joke by now), gracing the device once again with his mechanical abilities in reading stats, and now looking at the results, it seemed needless to ask. Even when he was still of the living, this particular school's name and reputation stood out from the rest.
"Teikou Academy."
"...You mean that elite school for rich people? Ah, no wonder they say money and education is wealth." Fukuda commented, making sure his existence wasn't forgotten, cause well, he along with his comrades, Kawahara and Furihata who weren't part of the major unit, yet still part of the actual force, didn't even have any major mission since they had signed up for death's door, they felt like sit-ins, without having to do any significant activities and all... Still, their comments were taken seriously, for whoever was a member was part of the team, and they were going to get to the root of this as a team.
"Tss... In the end, they're all probably half-assed bastards who couldn't even live without depending on people. This person, that person... they're all the same."
This was heaven, mind you, and cussing was definitely not allowed.
So what happens after Kagami Taiga is struck by a wave of thunderbolts from God himself?
Nothing, he revives anyway, but still he feels pain, he may be dead, but the pain's still there. He could only protest and complain, nothing more and nothing less. Still though, no matter how bad-mannered he was, the Seirin unit knew by now not to underestimate this person's ability as one of their members. Kagami Taiga, an angel who had just joined the year before, and he was already producing fruitful results. If not for his tendency of blowing things up and the unruly attitude, he was definitely one of the most reliable people around.
The angel on fire.
"Well then, Kagami-kun, I'm leaving this mission to you." Riko commanded, and she had received a disapproving gape from the said redhead.
"WHAT?! Why me?!"
"Well, we don't see anyone else for the job. Besides, Kagami-kun, we trust your abilities, and you do to. You were boasting about it earlier right? Then I don't see any problem in sending you when you're that confident-"
"I don't remember anything saying anything like that! I was just pointing out that- ugh..."
Kagami knew this was going to turn nasty, they all did, for the earlier angelic authoritic aura around the brunette girl had just transformed to something you would call "satan-worthy", it swiped the pants off him.
Or wait, he didn't have any.
"Kagami-kun, I don't want to hear any more complaints, you'll be going to Earth tomorrow! Waah, I'm so happy, that's one naughty one gone from the list..."
Riko reverted back to her former self, cutting herself and her boys some slack, the moving on to explaining how to bring out those miracles, they needed to find a person who was capable of keeping up with these "miracle people", cause from the looks of it and their human records, they didn't look easy to deal with... and by that, it meant they were both challenging in personality and looks, they needed someone who wasn't easily deceived by looks, one who could keep up with his or her emotions.
Of course, that person needed to be available at all times near the targets, so they decided to narrow down all the people of the world to the Japanese females who lived in that area, and then finally narrowing it down to female students in Teikou Academy, that much was obvious common sense... the Teikou part.
"Hmm... there's a problem. A really really big problem." Riko added gravely, and she was told that she should have told them earlier before all the explaining and calculating took place, she merely returned that with a sarcastic sorry and an excuse that she couldn't help it.
"It seems that almost no one matches our search. We need to find someone who isn't brought down by emotions, yet did I mention that this person needs to be capable of making the targets fall in love with her?"
"...Wait, seriously, but if you look at our targets... They're damn good lookers, even I a guy can tell! But we can't possibly get a girl for this, I mean, it seems according to the records about 99.9 % of the girl students in Teikou have already fallen in love with at least one of these guys, or wait, maybe 100 %!" Kawahara jealously commented while touching his... almost shiny bald styled head, comparing it to the lush colours adorning the heads of his targets.
That was meant to be a joke.
The records were as always reliable, and they were indeed grateful for access to these accurate records which allowed them to see the world and what was happening and the relation of people in society through the mere action of well, typing, you'd might as well call it heaven's supercomputer.
They browsed through the names of the targets and indeed, most of them were well-known back when they were still part of the living. They still remembered those names, and it didn't help them in their current desperate state, it seemed to turn harder and harder the more they thought about it.
Just what kind of guys were these Miracles? Is there even a person on Earth who could put up with them, keep up with them, make them fall in love with her, and resist them?
But then again, no one said it was supposed to be a she.
As one of them said earlier, they really had to get a guy, and they would have to take any measure just to save the world... even if it meant violating gay rights.
"Well then, we should start by narrowing the male student body in Teikou Academy to... hmm... Izuki-kun, Mitobe-kun, can the two of you please try to search for people matching the requirement of people these Miracles don't know?"
"But ma'am, we don't know if the device has the capability of reading through that far..."
"Well... I do." Riko said confidently, "I just believe in computers that much, don't we all do? Wasn't the computer and the internet what helped us do our homework back then?"
"No. It was my seatmate." Kagami muttered. "Too bad he transferred to Teikou halfway back in our third year of middle school... Damn, he had good homework."
"Wait, Teikou? Kagami-kun, could you please tell me this person's name?"
Even though it was just a slight hope, Riko had clung onto it, this might have been a lead, for someone who could put up with this fierce tiger should have been sensible enough, and she was answered with the name "Kuroko Tetsuya".
The rest knew what to do, and the results soon came in without difficulty. They exchanged nervous glances and started reading through the descriptions. As intended, almost everything is specified. His name, his age, his blood type, his date of birth, parental background, his citizenship, the academy he attends (We all know that's Teikou... they do too), his social relations (In case you're wondering, it's indicated he's single... so far), and his human activity did not arouse suspicion at all, in fact he was so alone in almost every way it was beneficial to them, it just proved this guy was forever alone, perfect for the job.
However... one thing did bother them.
The stats of each human are supposed to be indicated and complete access to all information, and this includes their capabilities as a person, simply speaking, the scale indicating the measure of their hearts, whether they were tipped more to good or evil. That way, heaven is able to sort the humans into groups classified in different fields for them to easier "organize" them in the afterlife, however what bugged them most was...
Kuroko Tetsuya didn't have such information in his files, and only the word "unspecified" was visible. Nothing more, nothing less.
"But... why? All humans should have information in heaven's files... the system couldn't be imperfect, could it? Any malfunctions?" Teppei was typically stating the obvious, however he did get the main catch.
A human whose value was completely unknown, if not specified, it could be classified under "unlimited", the kind of human which was considered so capable that it couldn't be measured by the scale, and the other likely possibility was the "zero" level, which meant your values as a person was completely negative, but that didn't seem to be the case.
"Hmm... every human cannot avoid being scanned by the system, the last year I lived was the time when they invented the scan and they actually tested human's capabilities without them knowing. Look, don't you notice two years ago, all countries all around the world proposed this humanity project?"
"...You mean how they tested us simple stuff and common life sense? When they would ask if you prefer your preferences or-"
"Okay, Izuki-kun, that's enough of your puns." At this, the Izuki couldn't help but protest that it wasn't even a pun, but if they had this theory on how everything he said was a pun, then he was being completely misjudged as a person. Besides, who was going to blurt out puns when the very existence of the world is in danger? Not even him.
"But yes, Izuki-kun, and trust me, I had to help my father read those stats. After all, he was part of the Academy of Science which attained this information which of course heaven has access to, and he was chosen to be God's successor, who was my grandfather, just as my grandfather's father did before him and so did my great great- Well you get the point."
They shivered at the thought, they had almost forgotten on how capable the Aida family were at this for generations, the first days they were at this "safe haven", they had heard the Aida name various times, and they weren't to be underestimated. However, what made them shiver was the thought that their next god- or in this case goddess- seemed to have her own devils in her own way. They couldn't even imagine the future of Earth with a goddess like her taking over. But then again, she didn't become the youngest chief adviser in heaven's history for nothing.
"So... something in him must be making all the difference, something in him must be blocking the information from being taken from him."
"...Or maybe he's just that invisible, since I knew him years ago, he's always been like that you know." Kagami suggested, and no they did not want to hear about his life story now, so they didn't delve into the topic further.
"Riko-san, what do we do?" Furihata asked, wanting to be of help, he came this far to make it into the minor unit with and he felt sort of bad of not being able to do anything.
"Hmm... Furihata-kun, Kawahara-kun and Fukuda-kun, please prepare for Kagami to leave, he'll need the teleportation after all... Unless he wants to fly all the way there, then be my guest, Kagami-kun."
Kagami did not like the idea, and the three complied, understanding Kagami's reaction all of this.
With that said, they concluded the speculating more was the best and Kagami should leave as soon as possible, there was no question, and there was only one chance to do this.
And that was now.
"So... I'm off." Kagami breathed out and bid farewell to his fellow angelmates, who had wished him good luck (along with a joke that he'd better not blow things up), and finally entrusting him with the communicator, he had no more reason to stay.
And so with a snap of his finger, he was teleported, and there was only a void of darkness enveloping him as he closed his eyes.
And the next time he wakes up, he'll be in Japan's Teikou Academy.
Kuroko Tetsuya was minding his own business, and mind you, he was very good at doing just that.
He sat like that peacefully, as if no one was aware of his presence. Flipping through the pages of his book suddenly seemed very interesting, but it all came down to the fact that he was alone... and for the first time in his life, or perhaps in this case, his life as a first year high-schooler, he was truly bored, and it struck him deeply. He was the perfect epitome of what you would call: "The high-school student who's always isolated and perfectly satisfied with his life yet itching for something different to do" or something close to that.
He shifted slightly from his seat and looked up from the book he was obsessed with, observing his surroundings. In the end it was all the same, he would see Teikou students with their uniforms, all he saw was white and blue, it would only be a matter of time before everything turns dull grey.
That is... until he sees a different sight.
If you put it into colourful words, the sight he just saw was what you would call a "rainbow". Not only because everything about them was colourful, but because they were different.
Special.
But that didn't change anything, in the end, he was still going to be one of the crowd, he was never going to stand on the same stage as them, he'll never be able to walk alongside them. That's what he concluded, and he wasn't going to change that mindset.
Until well, an angel named Kagami Taiga lands on his lap the very next minute, and that's going to change his mind about all of this.
1 minute.
That's how long he's been on Earth.
That's how long he's been staying on Kuroko Tetsuya's lap.
But it doesn't take that long for Kuroko to tell Kagami to get off him.
Kagami did as he was told, and yet something did bother him. He looked around and noticed that his hard fall was supposed to attract attention and yet... why were they being ignored?
He took a good look at himself, and noticed he now had a physical form. He was able to feel himself, he could feel physical pain, he could feel the sensation of his shoes touching the ground.
He felt human... aside from the fact that he still felt his wings in his back, hidden under the shelter of the Teikou uniform which was probably the work of his comrades above.
Okay... so they did care about me after all... they could have chosen a better landing spot though... but this makes it all the more easier...
"You're still the same as always, huh, Kuroko? Ever since middle school, you've always been that invisible, I guess you didn't change after all."
He was still the same as ever with his blank expression and those round blue eyes and soft silky locks of teal hair, giving him the slightly feminine look. At first glance, you would definitely think this guy was one of those blessed with unique appearance... and brains, which was unmistakably true when applied to Kuroko, you would definitely know he wasn't born dumb.
The said bluenette could only bob his head in confusion, not aware of what Kagami was talking about, he browsed through his memories, not having any matching the said events, leading to wariness and suspicion.
"Umm... If you don't mind me asking, how do you know my name? And umm... why did you fall from the sky? I don't remember knowing you from middle school... and I know every person I've met, but you're different, umm..."
"Kagami, Kagami Taiga."
"So, Kagami-kun, are you a student from Teikou? You don't seem to behave like one..." Kuroko trailed off, and Kagami took this as an insult. Just because he was slightly being rude and... barbaric, falling from the sky and all, didn't mean he had to say that... and he didn't want this invisible guy telling him that.
"Why you- Or wait, I shouldn't... Can't we just take this somewhere else?! Just so you know, I didn't come here to Teikou for fun! I didn't fall from the sky just to have fun, and for your information, I would mind if you asked me anymore questions about my suckish life!"
He didn't like where this conversation was going, and he knew Kuroko didn't either. When the smaller boy apologized, he merely said that it was fine- but he was prideful enough not to apologize, a trait of his he had always carried since the two knew each other when he was alive.
I guess he doesn't remember me now huh... After all we only talked once... and that was about homework, why would this guy remember him if they shared nothing memorable together? It was just memorable on his side because that was a thirty page booklet full of world history homework and those answers really saved him.
But it didn't save him from the end, and that's when he noticed that life wasn't about clinging to others and depending on them for answers. If he had just been a bit more aware of that... then maybe he wouldn't be regretting all this right now, this was being a bad habit.
"So... Kagami-kun, shall we take this to the rooftop? It's the only place we'll be safe... After all, your shouts seemed to have attracted too much attention..."
Several eyes were on them, and only now did Kagami notice the commotion he had just caused with all his bickering.
"Yeah... rooftop sounds like a good idea."
The view from Teikou Academy's rooftop had Kagami Taiga begging to unfold his wings and just... fly soaring high. It's that blue sky which spreads out above him that irks him though, for he knows they're watching his every move from somewhere, and he knows that that endless sky just showed him that his goals were just much smaller than he had thought them to be.
"So, Kagami-kun, what did you come to Teikou for? Like you've said earlier, you didn't come to Teikou for fun, you definitely have something in mind."
Even Kagami was surprised by the sudden mention of business, in fact, it being too peaceful was too good to be true, he had almost forgotten the bluenette was there.
"Yeah... and how do you know?"
"I know that look in your eyes, the look of someone whose resolve is set on something, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I've seen it several times, I've... had it several times."
"Yeah, yeah... it was just a joke, I didn't know what to talk about... So yeah, don't be surprised by what I'm about to tell you alright?"
"...And what would happen if I did just that?" Kuroko challenged, and Kagami just said that the safety of the world depended on it. That being a very big and vague thing, Kuroko merely obliged to the request and prepared himself for what was coming, keeping calm and all.
His life was surrounded by enough abnormalities already, he could get used to one or two more... right?
"So... would you believe me if I said I'm an agent from Heaven?" Kagami tested, for if Kuroko couldn't believe this small yet important detail, then his heart probably couldn't handle the rest ahead.
"Hmm... I would believe you more if you said you were an agent from Hell... but I believe Kagami is a good person, despite the looks of it... so I probably would."
Okay, that was totally unnecessary in Kagami's part.
"That's the point, I'm not a person, as I said, I'm a fallen angel from heaven, if that's how I simply put it. It's more complicated than that but well... that'll have to wait for later. You do know the basics about demons right? Every human would... I think."
"Umm... is the answer you're expecting how demons are beings of the afterlife formed from the very evil of emotions, rooting down to their former sins? If so then yes, I might know a bit about their background... or at least how we humans see them."
"Then that makes it all the more easier, and would you believe me if I said while we speak, the demons are plotting their next move to conquer this planet and we'll all die a sad end? Or wait, I already died... never mind, so would you?"
"... I suppose not, I'm not really used to believing everything I hear, Kagami-kun."
"Okay... So, let's do this from the start... You are aware that people usually have conflicting emotions and they do all sorts of bad stuff because of that, right?"
He receives a nod, and he further explains that the demons are plotting to use that against the whole of humanity, and that the humans aren't even aware that they're the ones causing all this to happen. This "dark energy" he often mentions between his explanatory sentences means the accumulation of the hatred of humans in one term, he clarifies, and that the only thing capable of erasing this is...
"These 'miracles you speak of?"
"Great, so you're fast on getting this, and that's a good thing." Kagami complimented, and he could swear that Kuroko absorbed that in very fast, saying it was probably the first ever compliment he had heard in his life other than how he was really quiet and invisible (yes, he took those as compliments).
"Heh... so you don't remember me complimenting on how you were dependable back then huh..." The said redhead muttered under his breath and completely shoved it off when Kuroko asked what was wrong, and he merely said it was nothing.
"Anyway, these miracles are basically what we call pure energy, in fact these things about good and evil are just... bah. There isn't really 'good and evil' if you ask me, just those two sides, the light and the dark, the shadow... get my point?"
"...Yes, I think I've gotten the hang of things."
The shadow...
The one always watching from behind...
The one always having to be overshadowed by the light...
The one making its last stand alone...
The one always not having what the light has, yet has what the light couldn't have...
It just made him pity the shadows even more, and no, it wasn't pity for himself, he wasn't that dark and negative. It's just, sometimes it really wasn't their fault that they weren't shone on by the light... it was just decided that way... it's been decided from the start, which meant all they needed was to push themselves even further, pushing themselves to move on forward.
He just didn't like that part, why people didn't even bother to try to grab on to the light, not doing anything for themselves to get the change they wished for.
"So... Kagami-kun, what is this pure energy you speak of?"
"Ah, yeah right," Kagami had almost forgotten, for it's been a while since the bluenette actually responded to his dreadfully long explanation that even he started to get bored, he couldn't even bring to pay attention to his own work.
"So this pure energy is basically powerful energy which even the demons couldn't touch, it's not what we'd call 'good' energy, it'd be more of 'neutral, neither of good nor evil, just you know... just like that, it's capable of incinerating us to ashes, formed from the very core of the wielders' hearts... and you know what makes those miracles even more powerful?"
"...No, Kagami-kun, please don't treat me like a fortune teller, I'm very new to this sort of topic... So please go easy on me."
"The world doesn't go easy on anyone, idiot. Or wait, here I am again... just ignore me."
There was this hint of cloudy sadness, which Kuroko swore could be seen on the angel's face right now, and he couldn't help but wonder what caused such sadness to suddenly come forth.
Or wait, once again he was being nosy, it wasn't any of his business was it?
"So... Kagami-kun, what is this thing you speak of?"
A breeze blew that day, a breeze of a new beginning, something which marked the start of a long hard journey which wouldn't end soon- not while the world didn't want it to end at least- the start of something revolutionary that could change the world.
"It may sound silly, even I find it like that... But ironically, it's something we both don't really have... It's love, Kuroko. You know, that thing which makes everything seem so good that they could come true when they don't. The thing that just makes you hope... you know?"
The answer was so simple, so clear, yet so complicated at the same time. Kuroko Tetsuya didn't know anything about love, not even a tad bit of it, for he was long derived of it- he just didn't really have the heart to love, the heart to care he did have, but this and that were different, this goal just seemed too big- too impossible.
Not after his heart was at this state... not while his hope for a peaceful high-school life was still there...
But then again, if him changing meant saving the world, then he didn't see anything wrong with it. No matter how much he didn't have, this was still the world he was born in. The world where he learned how to walk, the world he breathed in, the world he lived in, the world where he had managed to see sights he could only dream of, the world where he had met them, where he had watched from afar.
"Kagami-kun... why are you telling me all this? Why me?"
"Because I came here for exactly that, you see... that's your job. You know, saving the world, of course I'll be helping you, but in the end it's all up to you to... how do I say this..."
"...So basically... you want them to fall in love with me?"
The way he said it so blankly yet mixing it with some indication that he couldn't believe it seemed sort of surprising to Kagami, judging he was taking this a bit too calmly.
"...Yeah, that's basically the catch... and oh I forgot to mention something, we have this time limit of one month... and well, let's just say there's gonna be a lot of hard targets... you ready for that?"
"...It would be bad for me to lie and say I'm ready, but if it's really necessary, then... I am, it's just, I want you to promise me something, Kagami-kun."
"Yeah... what is it?"
As an angel, if he hears a request, there is a possibility that if he informs Heaven, then they'll grant the said request if necessary. Since this person was to be the world's saviour and the miracle conqueror, then he didn't see any reason on why Heaven would object.
"Please promise me that this wouldn't affect my personal life... please, just... I want to put a boundary, saving the world and my life are two completely different things."
"Uh... not really, cause you'll die if this world ends so... Okay fine, I'll send the request to Heaven, just wait..."
Okay, I forgot to mention by Heaven communicator, they meant a phone, a cell phone. And no, it wasn't an iPhone or anything higher than that, in fact it was probably the humblest cell phone around... and did i mention the current timeline was 2024?
There wasn't really any specific number to Heaven, what mattered was the emotions set in it, and some other complicated stuff. There's a specific criteria to be able to reach to Heaven's server and it happens to be- that Kagami knows all by heart.
And so, after making the call and the quick approval, he hung up, telling Kuroko that the request was granted.
"So... they seemed to settle it like this, these targets will remember that someone conquered them, that's already a given, but they won't remember who exactly. Is that a good fair deal?"
"...Yes, it seems enough of a fair deal, however, Kagami-kun... you forgot about something."
Kagami's brow furrowed, not remembering about forgetting anything important... He thought and he thought and he thought, but still nothing.
"Lunch already ended minutes ago... and I'm sort of late for class..."
"Oh crap!" Kagami facepalmed, it wasn't really his fault that he forgot to consider that the guy still had classes, he got too caught up in the importance of the conversation.
"Sorry... But before that..." Kagami took out the wristbands he were entrusted with, and they were important, really important.
"Put these on."
"Umm... Kagami-kun, that sounds really suspicious..." Kuroko said while eyeing the black wristbands suspiciously, looking at them with fascination- and god forbid, they looked just like normal plain wristbands.
At first anyway.
It seemed that only Kuroko and Kagami were seeing this sight, for the wristbands were emanating an iridescent-coloured glow signifying the power inside them, and it was marked with what seemed like markings shaped into wings.
"Kagami-kun.. what are these?"
"They're proof you're a conqueror, it's our contract, and don't worry, you're not signing a contract to hell in this one, rest assured they're safe, they just glow a bit.. but they're safe... I think. They might feel hot at first though."
Kuroko took the wristbands from Kagami's hand, taking his last thoughts considering whether they should wear them or not- or that was already decided from the beginning. It was something he was entrusted to do, something only he could do, something only he was capable of.
And he was going to do it.
The moment he wore the wristbands, he saw, he felt all the feelings in the world a person could have... literally. Enveloped in light, he felt something forming inside him, something very close to realization, like he was slowly opening up, seeing things even clearer than before.
He wished it wouldn't end, this feeling, but he knew it had to, he knew everything was to come to and end, they were bound to be.
It was only for a brief moment, but he felt the feeling could last for a lifetime- that is, if he could even manage to live a person's worth lifetime.
"Kagami-kun..."
The latter looked at him, and was slightly taken aback to see him smiling. It was the first time he had seen Kuroko smile, or at least, smile from up close, and the sight was even brighter than he had thought it would be.
Okay, he wasn't doubting Kuroko Tetsuya anymore, for he felt that smile alone just made his heart go ba-thump.
"Yeah, you're officially a conqueror, let's work hard together from now on."
Suddenly, the bluenette did a gesture very much known to the redhead when he was still alive, the said movement was the act of raising one's fist, waiting for the latter to bump onto it as a sign of friendship and companionship.
... I guess he's expecting me to do a fist bump with him huh...
And he doubted that he would forget the moment that started it all, the moment that Kuroko Tetsuya became a conqueror, the fact that he was human, the fact that he could actually feel another person's touch on his.
Despite the future that awaited them... they knew, both of them knew they weren't alone.
Not anymore.
Omake/Bonus/Extra Drabble/Sneak Peek at our Phantom's Goofy Side of Life/ Whatever you want to call it:
"Kuroko Tetsuya, I repeat, is Kuroko Tetsuya here?" The teacher called out, and to think this kid whoever he was had the nerve to skip the first day of class for his high school youth. He once again looked at the attendance and noticed that this said boy was present in previous classes before lunch... which didn't make it any better.
This little brat- what nerve to skip only my class, is Math really that bad? Am I really that boring?
And yet it seemed only he was left to answer his question, so he just sighed and decided to mark this student absent.
"Umm... sensei, I was here the whole time."
The small voice came from the corner of the classroom, specifically the window seat (a.k.a the godly seat), which slightly surprised the students. All eyes were on the bluenette, and even his seatmate didn't know he was there. None of his classmates did, to be honest.
"Oh... really? You should tell me sooner..."
Okay, that was a total lie, Kuroko Tetsuya was glad that he was invisible, because even though he was late for class's first period after lunch for as much as 15 minutes... he still managed to get through attendance... barely.
Such is one of the advantages of being a phantom whose existence stays hidden and awesome.
I don't suck at Math, I just don't like it. Not a joke. That omake is pretty much how I ranted... poor teacher. I'm very sorry to all the Math teachers in the world, mine included. *Does the Sakurai act*
Coach-san (yes, I'm looking at you), I have good news for you. You're not the only one who'll be attending math classes this summer. You won't be suffering alone, only I won't be doing them in school... I'll tell you more about it when we meet next time.
So... please review? I would appreciate it very much. I'm all ears for opinions and suggestions for who the first conquest'll be...'cause I seriously don't know. But definitely not Akashi, he won't be last, but he'll pretty much be the most aggressive so we'll save that for later, shall we? *smirks* Any ideas are welcome! :D
I know my impression of Heaven is really messed up for a kid like me. Heaven couldn't possibly have a supercomputer... that's just me and my childish thinking. (Oh wait, here's a parody, got the idea of a supercomputer from the anime: "To Aru Kagaku no Railgun"... and I was quite surprised to see someone named "Shirai Kuroko" there... and well, her ability is teleportation which is close to disappearing and she clings to the main chara a lot but can be badass when she wants... sounds like Kise, anyone? xD)
The Academy of Science... we'll explore that sometime else, when the plot thickens... and no, this story is not merely Kuroko having experiences with his harem... it may be like that at first glance but... I think I have a lot of stories like that, I want to come up with a decent plot xD And this is far from that I think.
KagaKuro will be more of a broship here.
Seriously, I think this is becoming Angel Beats in Kagami's part. (With all the afterlife stuff and all...)
Well then, excuse me for now and till the next update! Thank you for taking your time, going all the way to read this!
