"Argh, Aominecchi, please heal me!"

"I got my hands full, prick."

"Kagamicchi?"

"Busy."

"Don't you have a potion?"

"I gave it all to Kurokocchi." T_T

"Then rot in silence."

"That's mean, Akashicchi!"

"Would maiubos heal, Kise-chin?"

"It only works on you, Murasakibaracchi."

"I would heal you but I'm afraid I'm out of potions too, Ki-chan."

"I give a potion to Kise-kun and restored him back to health."

Everybody looked at Kuroko with a why-would-you-heal-that-annoying-bastard expression. "Well, since he took that one powerful blow for us, it's only logical if I heal him in return," said Kuroko as he scratched his cheek, complete with his emotionless face. Kise went over the bench and glomped Kuroko.

"Kurokocchi, I love you so muuucchhh!" To express his 'love' more, he started kissing Kuroko's fair cheeks, which later made Kuroko pulled an Ignite Pass stunt on his tummy.

"I think it was necessary since you might be able to take another powerful blow for us in the future."

All of the participants then turned to Kise and bowed their heads slightly, saying, "Your sacrifice will never be forgotten~"

"What?! I'm not dead yet!" D'x

The park was quite deserted although it was weekend, since people was crowding a concert held somewhere nearby. They have changed their original game venue when they started receiving looks from other customers in Maji Burger, telling them telepathically about how loud they've become. The game had moved on to the first boss, which was a mutant spider. It got infected with the zombie virus and turned into one gigantic spider that devours any soul passing by it.

"What's its HP, Kuroko?"

The phantom boy flipped his notebook and began reading it out loud. "10,000,000."

"Alright," Aomine and Kagami yelled at once, later they turned to each other shouting, "Don't copy me!"

"Let's equip ourselves properly while someone act as the decoy," ordered the Emperor-Eye holder.

"But who's going to tank?"

Curious glances sprawled across the group and later Kuroko announced, "The spider was rather fond of a bright light or the color yellow. So, Kise-kun," he glanced at his model friend and lowered his head a bit as an expression of gratitude, "Thank you very much."

"What?!" Kise's mouth was wide open, as he was given the chance to 'tank' the mutant spider.

"Everyone get in their positions while the spider is skinning him alive!"

"Don't put it that way, Aominecchi!"

"I'll keep an eye on him, you go equip yourselves, Tetsu-kun."

"Oy Kise. You're going to die if you just stand there."

"F-fine QAQ! I ran across the hall and started my chainsaw so it will be attracted to the noise and follow me."

"I use the potion I got from Tetsu-kun to heal Ki-chan bit by bit."

"Everybody's ready!"

"Who's going to attack first?"

Kagami held up his hand.

"Okay, give him the dice."

"So I ran up the spider and attacked one of its legs." His big hand held the dice, and he rolled. The dice danced on the sandy cement floor, making the roller very nervous. A critical hit was crucial in the first strike. Eventually, the dice came to a halt.

"2,000!"

Kuroko's fingers quickly subtracted the amount of damage to the spider's HP. 9,998,000 more to go.

"Can I go next?" Momoi tried to test her luck. Kagami gave her the dice. "So I asked Tetsu-kun to go for the abdomen…" And the dice rolled.

"300!"

"AWWW!" yelled all of them at the same time. Meanwhile, Momoi was lowering her gaze with shame. "I'm sorry everyone…"

"It wasn't your fault, Momocchi!" Kise tried to console his friend.

"Maybe you just don't have enough luck today, don't sweat it," replied Kagami. He just wanted to comfort Momoi but it end up her being more upset. "Uwaaa, I'm sorry!" She hid her face in between Kuroko's arms and the boy proceed to hug her softly.

"Kagami-kun, be more delicate, she's a lady." Kuroko glared at the cheeseburger lover, and everyone also followed Kuroko's action. Kagami had started to sweat abundantly.

"It's okay, Momoi-san. Maybe another chance?" He gave a beguiling smile to mend her heart, even a little. But the result was overwhelming, she was now fired up for her next move. "Alright, I'm all revved up! When's my next attack!?"

"Now it's my turn-nanodayo." His taped fingers rolled the medium-sized dice and he spoke, "I throw the Nokia Lumia at one of its eyes." And the dice revealed…

"10,000!"

Everyone was in awe for Midorima's attacks that seem to hit 10k more often than an average person would. And Takao, the fairy helper, have never been more proud. "Midorima Shintaro, Nokia-wielder. The damage is REAL," he boasted.

"Who's next?"

"Please give it to me, Kurokocchi!" His arms flapped in the air, excited of his first attack in the battle. "Okay, I run the chainsaw through his mouth." He rolled the dice carefully and it stopped at the…

…lowest damage possible.

"100?!"

"What the fuck, Kise?!"

"Go home, girl!"

"Eat shit! You suck!"

"It's not like I want that to happen!" Very disappointed with his result, Kise went to hug Kuroko and buried his crying face at his shoulder. Kuroko didn't seem to mind though.

"After that disappointing throw, anyone else?" Calmly, Kuroko remarked. "Kurokocchi, that's mean!"

"Let me have a go," declared Aomine. Kasamatsu handed him the dice. "I throw the basketball at his head."

The dice rolled on the floor…

"MISS."

"BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Everyone laughed at the Touou Ace, in which Aomine had turned dark crimson and went ballistic. "What the fuck, man?! How the hell did it dodge my attack?!"

Except Aomine that was blushing hard, everyone seemed to be rolling on the floor laughing hard, especially Kagami and Momoi. After almost fifteen seconds of pure cackle, they all wiped the tears off their eyes. "That was a rather impressive one. Who's next?" asked the phantom boy, while covering his mouth; Traces of tears still at the corner of his eyes.

"I'm gonna kill you, Tetsu…" Aomine gritted his teeth, seething anger and embarassment at the same time.

"Wait," Kuroko seemed to stumble upon something in his notepad. "Suddenly the spider was inhaling a lot of air. Its tummy was growing bigger and bigger, as if getting ready to unleash a powerful attack."

"Oh fuck!"

"Everyone, behind Ryouta!"

"Roger!"

"Wait, what?!"

"Please protect us, Lord Ki-chan!"

"This is your purpose in the game!"

"Fulfill your destiny, Kise!"

"Would you stop that nonsense!? Now get behind me!"

In their imaginary battlefield, everybody was hiding behind the 'tank' Kise Ryouta, waiting nervously for the coming attack from the mutant boss. While waiting for the boss to finish its attack, Kuroko stared at Kise for a long time before Kise turned to him and asked, "Something on my face, Kurokocchi?"

"Nothing," Kuroko looked back at the boss, "It's just that you're so easy to accept your fate as a tank."

"Once I got a job, I will do my best to fulfill my role," he grinned. Then, Kuroko smiled softly. He always liked this side of Kise.

"Eyes on the boss!"

"Why does it look like it's going to masturbate?!"

"Shut up Ahomine! Why do you have to bring that up now!?"

"But if you look closer-!"

"Here it comes!"

The spider's mouth spewed a bundle of light yellow liquid to them, covering their figures from head to toe.

"Ewww!"

"…And it came on us…"

"I told you not to say that, Ahomine!"

"Yeah, Kagami-kun's right! What if there were young readers?"

"It's not like they can understand that."

"Aominecchi is a pervert!"

"Takes one to know one, ya know."

"Can we please get back to the game?" asked Kuroko while checking his notepad for the nth time. They nodded. "The liquid was a mechanism made in its body to glue its prey on one place so its easier for it to capture them. So we have one chance to move to a suitable place before we were stuck at the same location for three steps."

"So we need to move to a safe place before it swoop us all dead?" asked the curious giant while munching maiubo. The phantom boy simply nodded. "But ranged weapon and fairies aren't affected so it depends to you. Another reminder is stay clear from its front, unless you want to replace Kise-kun."

"Okay," said Kagami. "I'll go to his hind legs!" Momoi was thinking for a moment before she retorted, "I'll run to the farthest corner of the hall." Later, Aomine blurted, "…I'll stay."

"I'm with Mine-chin." Murasakibara gulped down another maiubo. "Besides, Muro-chin is doing all the punching for me." Pushing up his glasses, Midorima spoke, "I'll be able to shoot from any position so I'll go to Aomine-nanodayo."

"Why are you all bundling up at me?!" Aomine exploded.

"If it attacked one of us, the rest get to taste it too."

"Yeah, so we better do our best not to attract its attention to our ranged group."

"You hear that, Aomine?"

"Yeah, yeah, Mommy-dorima."

"I'll…" Akashi hesitated for a moment before declaring, "…climb on top of it's head."

"Eh?"

"If it moves to step on somebody, I won't be in it's radar."

They all stared hard at the red-head. That smartass…

"What about you, Kuroko?"

The teal-haired boy put the back of his pen on his cute chin, his mind busy wandering to places he could hide. "Kise-kun, where are you standing?"

"I'm in front of the boss-ssu."

"Then I'll be behind Kise-kun."

"Noooo Kurokocchi/Tetsu-kun! That's dangerous!" The two yelled at Kuroko, but he didn't seem to falter with his decision.

"The spider will be able to only focus on Ryouta."

"And Kuroko got his misdirection."

"I think that is the safest place considering his blonde hair was the only thing that occupied the boss' mind now," stated Kuroko. "Besides, I want to rest for the next five moves."

"Ehhh, why?!" exclaimed everyone.

"I've been running errands for Momoi-san and later make my own move. Technically, I've done double from what you guys were doing," addressed Kuroko while glancing at Momoi once. It made the girl look apologetic though. "I'm sorry Tetsu-kun…"

"It's not like that, Momoi-san. I'm glad I got to be your knight. Just give me four rounds of rest and then I'll be able to help you again," he smiled towards Momoi, which made Momoi went head over heels more and more to him.

"Tetsu-kunn~!" Momoi hugged Kuroko dramatically, clashing her boobs on Kuroko's flat chest. This made the others' jealousy rose to the top of their head. Damn, you're smooth, Kuroko…

"So you've been working hard since the start," Kasamatsu interfered for a second. "Wow, I admire your tenacity, Kuroko."

"Thank you, Kasamatsu-san. That's how I got these guns." Kuroko flexed his biceps.

"YOU DON'T HAVE ANY!"

I apologize for the short chapter. I promise I will work hard for the oncoming chapters! *bows head*

So I read the Replace Novels of KnB, and was in a mild shock of Nijimura-senpai and Himuro's ability to do street fights. (Do I need to put spoiler tag here? o_o) Although I must say, it was a good kind of shock, since it goes well with my plot XD (Himuro went fighting under Murasakibara). Do not underestimate the fairy Himuro. The small size is deceitful :3

And I hope you enjoy this chapter, albeit the short length. I'll see you again! :D
