CHAPTER 2

Ryuji never wanted his kids to grow up and be like him and for that he would send them to school which was behind their house. It was a school started by the social workers a few years ago so that the kids won't waste their time in the streets. The school fee was really low but still it was beyond Ryuji's income.

Kuroko loved school. He loved studying and he loved his teachers. Going to school gave him a slight slip from his mother. But at the same time he hated it. He hated the way older kids would come to him and push him in the mud, staining his uniform. He hated it when the called him "smelly rat" or "poor rag". The bullies at first never took notice of him. They walked pass him as if he never existed but then Kuroko bumped into one of the guys and then the ragging began.

Kuroko had seen some parents coming to the school and complain about bullying and harassment but Tetsuna never did the same. Kuroko did try telling her but she shrugged it off by saying "Aren't you one huh, Tetsuya?"
There was this one day that Tetsuna hated the most. It was the medical checkup day. This was the day when she never sent kuroko to school. The reason? Because she was scared. She was scared of the questions that the doctors would ask if they saw the teal-heads body. More importantly his back.

Sunday was the bath day. Tetsuna would undress both brothers and would wash them thoroughly because Sunday was the only day when they got more water. Once, suffering from a very light fever Kuroko said. "Mommy I do not want to take a bath today"

"I cannot keep a smelly rat like you, in my house Tetsuya, now in the tub!" she said but as stubborn as he was, he ran. Bad mistake of course. In order to get a hold of him Tetsuna lunged at him, her nails dug deep in Kuroko's skin and peeled his skin from shoulders to his wait. Blood spluttered out as the young blue head lay there shouting and crying. They had to take him to the hospital with an excuse that he fell from the roof and scratched his back on the fence.

Once Kuroko and Taiki both decided to run away. Taiki being older suggested that by throwing soft pillows on the ground they can jump. The pillows will reduce the momentum and they'll not get hurt. But this plan was quite difficult for both young brothers. Therefore it was not put into action. But that didn't stop Kuroko from thinking that it might be the only possible way to run away.

On the medical checkup day as usual, Tetsuna locked Kuroko in his room. In the previous year's Kuroko thought of jumping out of the window but he was too young. Now that he was 13 he decided to do it. In the morning, after Tetsuna locked him, he opened the window and threw his and Taiki's pillows out. They landed in the perfect position. He smiled like an idiot.

"FINALLY" he cried in his mind. He got on the window sill and positioned himself and with a long breath he jumped. As planned he landed on the pillows. Smiling to himself he ran to the school.

The bell rang as he ran inside the classroom. As unnoticeable he was he quietly sat at the back of the class.

"Class, the social workers will be here in a few minutes. I want you to be in your best behavior. And you must do whatever they tell you to, okay" the class teacher said in his snobby voice. The class grunted in agreement. The only one looking forward to the medical checkup was Kuroko.

The social workers came and called all the students, turn by turn. By the time, kuroko got a weird feeling. Sure they were poor and Tetsuna was really violent but still he had a home and a family. Moreover he felt like betraying Tetsuna by telling the workers about her awful deeds. He really wanted to turn away but at the same time he wanted to stay.

"Kuroko Tetsuya-kun, please come outside." A worker called. The blue head stood up and ran outside. But what he saw was quite a surprise.

"Mom?!" he cried. His hopes shattered like glass. Tetsuna looked like a monster ready to gnaw Kuroko. "You unfaithful little scumbag, you're coming home this instant. And yes, you will get a nice punishment this time" she said in her venomous tone. Kuroko felt water on his pale blue cheeks. He looked at the social workers but they pretended that he didn't even exist.

'please do not do this" kuroko cried in his heart. Then from far a figure rose up and walked to Kuroko and his mother.

"Sorry we cannot let this child go without giving him a medical checkup" the man said. He wore a white coat and had silky black neck length hair. Tetsuna snorted.

"You ain't giving him anything and he will come with me" she barked. The man smiled slyly.

"We cannot let him go. He studies in this school yet he has never been given medical checkup and legally you have no right to stop us. We can file a case against you! A case of child abuse. Better you let us do out work"

Kuroko knew that the man was an angel!. Suddenly the man bent down to the kid's level and took his shirt off.

"Pretty scrawny for your ages aren't ya oh and I am Kira" the man smiled. Kuroko said nothing. Not when Tetsuna was glaring katanas at him. Then the man turned kuroko around and a gasp escaped his lips. Tetsuna turned her face away. There were four lines on his back, from his shoulders to his wait. The man traced his fingers over them and kuroko shuddered. He got up. The other workers had the same horrible expression on their faces.

"This is unacceptable miss! The man said. "This really is child abuse" Kira said. Tetsuna did not say anything. The man gave Kuroko his shirt back and motioned some workers ordering Tetsuna and Kuroko no to move.

Tetsuna came up to kuroko and held his hand and pretty much squashed it. A whimper escaped his lips. "You do realize what you've gotten me into right? Once they give us permission to go I swear I will rip your head off" she hissed.

"I'm afraid that will not happen" Kira said. Tetsuna glared at him.

"What do you mean?"

"We will take this little guy away from you and give him proper treatment, clothes and a home to stay" Kira said.

"You CAN'T do it!" Tetsuna bellowed stomping her feet. A few heads poked out from the classes. The man frowned.

"Yes we can. Let him come with us or I'll charge you with child abuse" he said. Tetsuna said nothing. She turned to go away when kuroko spoke up.

"I am sorry, mom" he cried. Tetsuna didn't say anything. He 'humped' and went away.

"It's going to be okay little one" Kira said."I will take you in" he said pinching Kuroko's cheeks to which the young Kuroko smiled.

The man's house was huge. A mansion to be exact. Kira rang the doorbell and a beautiful young boy, just of kuroko's age opened the door. He was centimeters taller than him and had bright red hair and hetero chromatic eyes. One sun golden and the other crimson red. Plus he was awfully pale like Kuroko.

"Joan put these bags in your room. He will be sharing your room for a while." The man said. The boy, Joan nodded but said nothing, nevertheless he picked up the bag and giving the teal head a sympathetic look he motioned him to follow his lead.

"My room is down here. You will stay here until your room is set, understood." The boy, being a servant had a weird, commanding tone. The teal head nodded.

"Oh and my names Kuroko Tetsuya" he cried. The boy nodded. He casted a look on the outside and closed the door. He walked up to the blue head and said.

"Why on Earth did you fall for that man? You don't know he is a demon in an angel's disguise."

Kuroko gave him a glare.

"No he is not. He is my savior." He said. Joan sighed. "The main door is still open, run while you have the chance." Kuroko shook his head as a no. Joan sighed again. He opened his mouth to say something when the door flung open.

"JOAN!" Kira cried. The called boy heaved a sigh and exited the room.

"I hope he did not say anything to you. He might have told you to run away but believe me he is a very jealous person and does not want anyone here." Kira explained.

"Yes he did." Kuroko said. The man gave kuroko a sneaky smile and went out. Kuroko somehow felt that he should listen to the red head.

Joan came down to call kuroko for dinner. Kuroko was done with keeping his clothes in the cupboard.

He followed the red head up stairs not saying a word. They came to a large hall with a big dining table and hell lots of chairs. The man was sitting at the end and motioned kuroko to come and sit with him while Joan sat right in front of the man.

"Why don't you come here Joan-kun?" Kuroko asked but Kira answered for him.

"He doesn't like me right? Joan nodded.

"But why?" Joan looked at kuroko with his indimitading glare.

"Why did you come here? RUN. Befor-"

But before he could complete his sentence Kira threw a knife that hit Joan on the right shoulder. A whimper escaped his lips but he did not say a word. Kuroko stared at the two with disbelief!

"What-"

"You do not speak unless I tell you to. Now go and clean your wound, you're bleeding on my floor."

Joan stood up he turned and left the hall. Kuroko looked at the man with a questioned stare.

"I was merely trying to show him where he belongs."

Joan didn't come up again and when kuroko went to the room he was laying on his good side, breathing softly, the wound wasn't closed nor Joan bothered treating it.

Kuroko sighed. He went to the washroom wetted the towel and went up to Joan and shook him a little. Joan opened his eyes immediately and sat up.

"Yes, need anything?" he asked. kuroko shook his head.

"Please take off your shirt. It will become bad if left untreated." Kuroko said. Again without a word Joan pulled off his shirt of course with Kuroko's help.

"What do you really mean by Kira-san being an angel in devil's disguise?" Kuroko asked. Joan gave a little whimper when the wet cloth came in contact with his skin.

"He told me he would take me away from home and I agreed but when he brought me here he-he" Joan gave a pause.

"why did you want to leave your home and what did he say" Kuroko asked utterly curious.

"My mom's dead and my father became really harsh and strict after that. Used to spank me on every little mistake I made. Once Kira and my dad had a meeting. I walked in there without knocking and my dad got really angry. That's when Kira filed a case about him and brought me here. I thought I would bee free here but late at night he took me to his room…."

Kuroko looked down. He almost felt ashamed for bringing back a bad memory.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked that." He mumbled.

"You see, he takes kids in and turns them into porn posers" Joan said.

"What?"

"He asks…orders you to model for him…exposed"

Kuroko gasped. "And now you cannot get away. The main door is guarded plus there's a security password on the door and an advance security alarm."

"I don't understand all the advancements but we have to try and get out of here." Joan gave a small laugh despite the sting.

"I've been trying to do that for three weeks." He said. "But don't worry… and moreover…Do not call me Joan."

"Then what."

"Akashi… Seijuro Akashi" kuroko squinted his eyes.

"Akashi Seijuro…of AKASHI corporations?! This is indeed a surprise!"

Akashi gave a small laugh again. "it was hard coming up with an effective plan…but it seems you are just the right person I wanted." Kuroko smiled.

Someone knocked on the door and opened it after the third knock. Kira.

"Kuroko, I need you to come with me."

Kuroko looked at Akashi with a horrified expression.

"Not now Kira, he must be tired, let him sleep." Kira gave a big laugh.

"Oh shut up, or I will put a katana through your headed make that face bloody red like your hair." Kira grabbed Kuroko's hand and dragged him to his room.

Once they were inside Kira locked the door and sat on his bed. The room was quite luxurious. An AC a large T.V a king size bed with a red bed sheet. The room was decorated with tiny flowers and the roof had beautiful astrological signs painted on it.

"Now Kuroko…Strip"
