oya oya(my my) aren't you going to greet your brother? Ogiwara asked in a singing tone.
It'll only cause him more trouble seeing even his own older brother helpless like this. Kuroko turned his head away from the wailing Chihiro.
Both of Kuroko and Chihiro startled as the stage at the most deepest part of the underground black market bombed their sensitive ears with cheering of audience.
Kuroko quickly looked around for something anything, to escape. Bringing Chihiro with him. Oh no, need to bring Chihiro leave. Fast, Any idea? Kuroko quickly ask Ogiwara as he is sure that the worker will soon come and drag him out of the cage and send to auction just like the pass few days he seen others being placed bid and sent to auction. Just like god have granted his wish oh so easily, he spotted the keys dangling from a worker's belt in front of him.
Akashi smirked and stand very close to Kuroko's cage, with the keys hanging on his belt. He stand close enough for Kuroko to stand up and steal the keys or snatch the key. He watched Kuroko from the corner of his eyes and look blankly straight when Kuroko's looking. Kuroko stared at the keys and looked around. Chihiro looked depressed and scared, the worker in front of him seems like spacing out and the other slaves in the area are mostly fainted or knocked out.
Kuroko slowly stood hiding his presence as best as he could and lean towards the keys. He was lucky since the keys was not quite many and won't make much sound if he trying to remove them from the belt. Akashi was quite interested, among the fox hybrids, the more tails they have, it were said that they have more connection with the underworld and magic. He look at Kuroko as he try he best to sneak the key out.
Kuroko looked at his brother, the key and then back at the worker to make sure the worker didn't notice him. There is a few close call as the worker shifted from leg to leg. But if he knew the worker know all along, he should just snatch it since the worker aren't the "real" worker. And frankly, doesn't really care if he ran away (Aomine: where is the real worker? A/N: Who knows? maybe Akashi threw him overboard for shark baits)
The cage are just like bigger dog cages, the space between bar are quite small. Kuroko used his tails to balance himself on 2 knee and lean forward with the tails act like sort of weight balancing.
Chihiro looked at his maybe-is-or-maybe-not brother trying stole something from the belt of the worker on the ship. The red haired worker never told him what his name is, but he treated him the nicest. Like he defend him from drunk workers that tried to -ahem- -ahem- rape him, and give him more food rather than one bread a day.
Fearing the red head will lose his job he tried to stop his brother to do whatever is he doing now although he got no idea what his brother is trying to do. Secretly tho, he liked the red haired worker "Oh god... no wonder Kuroko worried for him, he doesn't get the situation even tho he was just captured and shipped here and was trying to save his capturer from getting fired?" Ogiwara face palmed. (A/N: If you count the hand pass thru your half invisible head is face palm, you can say that he's face palming XP)
Kuro-chan, I understands your feelings now. Your brother is hopeless. Ogiwara looked at Chihiro which trying his best to stop his brother without getting caught.
Kuroko smiled lightly This is why I liked him the best, because he's kind. And almost cheered as he got the key. He draws in quietly and careful not to make the keys click onto each other. He grinned in excitement as he finally got the keys into his cage without the worker notice. (Well, the worker knew all along)
Akashi walked away almost immediately Kuroko got the keys. And turn a few rounds around the slave cages. he observe Kuroko from far back. The black market was built in an underground tunnel that formed naturally but expanded artificially it was quite huge but dark.
Kuroko looked at the lock on Chihiro's cage. Trying his best and sharpen his eyesight. B...L...I...T...Z...L...O..C...K... He read the logo carefully. And give up because the keys in his hand got nothing to indicate which keys is for which lock. He sniffed around the keys and tried to guess which key smell most alike to his brother's.
Thug. Thug. Kuroko ear twitched. Footsteps. Different from the light steps that the red worker, this one is heavy and sounds like elephants. He panicked. A wild fat worker appeared. Please choose a pokemon Ogiwara cheered.
Screw you dammit. Kuroko sweatdropped.
Ahahaha, let's just send him can easily controls elements right? let's blast him away with air! Ogiwara tell him but sadly Kuroko is totally clueless about magic and elements.
What are elements? come a very blunt questions with a straight that usually make the slave lord send him flying in fustration.
...Ha... Ogiwara gawked. No wonder, Kuroko's limiter is not yet released, or maybe the limiter is already off, he never noticed? Well, oh ****, if that the case, Kuroko will have ran away years ago. Really, Ogiwara felt bad because although Kuroko lived for 21 years, in fox's time sense, he still like a toddler. He doesn't even know how to hide his tails and ears, and he's already involved in slave trading.
Kuroko's cage was opened and a fat hand reach inside and grabbed the collar on Kuroko's neck. The worker attached a metal chain onto Kuroko's collar and dragged him out. Kuroko quickly threw the bunch of keys towards his brother's cage while the worker looked away and started to check his list for next victim. Kuroko struggled. Just...how to say, command the air to obey you er... it felt like er... the air will obey you if you're really 8 tailed fox. Ogiwara panicked as Kuroko was dragged around and one of kuroko's tail started to bleed.
Tails are very important to foxes, every single one of them contains special energy. If the one contains life force is damaged, it may causes coma or dead.
Chihiro opened the cage and chase Kuroko. No! Kyuubi! Tell him to run! For the exit! Kuroko panicked and starting to trash.
I can't! No way a 2 tailed fox can get my message! Ogiwara also panicked, what is him the most sucked great great great grandfather in the world that cant protect his own kin. Kuroko was so scared, not scared for himself, but the safety or his own brother.
Maybe the fear reached it peak, or whatever. Kuroko's tails started to glow and suddenly, a blast dome of air suddenly surronded Kuroko and the worker. The worker screamed and struggled, the air started to slice him everywhere. Chihiro startled and not sure to go near or help his brother out. He could only hear the worker screamed and beg for life pitifully.
After awhile, the dome slowly cleared out, the worker is being sliced every where, not deep, but enough to bleed. Kuroko was unconcious as soon as the dome dissappeared. The worker fall to the ground, dead or half dead clearly out of commission.
Yay we did it!... Kuro-chan? Kuro-chan?! OMG kuro-chan! Ogiwara looked at Kuroko, whose body slumped and 2 of the tails was bleeding. Oh no, did the worker accidentaly damaged Kuro-chan's tail that contain life?
Akashi grinned in excitement when he saw Kuroko's power. He approached Kuroko and Chihiro. Now, let's go kick Haizaki arse!
"I seen enough."
A/N: thanks for the reviews ^^ I not really sure how this story will go _ But I think I'll need to decide a lover for Chihiro. It might be one sided Chihiro x Akashi first but after that main will be AkaKuro! Hope the story is not too slow or too confusing. I also decided to add extra info about the Foxes below here, you guys may think of it as something like Omake! ^^
