A/N: I want to thank you all for all your wonderful reviews for the first chapter. Didn't expect that many reviews for just a trial-and-error kind of story. Now, I'm going to update as promised.

Chapter Two:

Kuroko Tetsuya, the phantom player of the Generation of Miracles and also the one who uses misdirection in basketball, couldn't help feeling irritated when his cellphone rang wildly and vibrated continuously beside his pillow.

He sighed and took it before pressing the button 'answer'

"…Hello?" He mumbled and yawned.

"Looks like I woke you up, Tetsuya." A very familiar voice whispered from the other line.

The teal-haired teen couldn't help sitting up and getting wide awake. "N-No, Akashi-kun. It's alright. It's almost time for my waking time, anyway." He replied and stood up.

"That's what I figured. Six am is your time to wake up. I still remember it." The red-head replied.

The blue-head who's fixing his hair, blushed a little. "Please, do not remind me." He murmured.

His former captain chuckled. "Alright then. Oh, by the way, I want you to go at the Amusement Park later at 10 am. Ryouta was given six free tickets by his fans and he invited us. He told me that he forgot to text you last night—that's why I just called you instead. At 10 am, got it?"

Kuroko blinked. "..Got it, Akashi-kun."

"Good. I'll be expecting you. Just call me if you need anything. Bye" Akashi responded and hung up.

The blue-haired phantom player placed his phone on top of his sidetable and fixed his bed. He's still wondering why his hair goes up even though he rarely moved side to side when he sleeps. He looked at his bed, blanket and pillow, if a stranger goes inside his room after he wakes up—he would say that no one slept in it. The blanket is still neatly lying on top of his bed. His pillows didn't sink even a little.

Don't say even my bed doesn't know that I sleep there? He thought and shrugged. "Nevermind." He mumbled; took a towel and went inside his bedroom's bathroom. He took a short shower –whole body—and after almost 20 minutes; he went out and dried his hair first with a s pare towel of his.

His rang wildly again and vibrated continuously like a dancing crazy cellphone. It almost fell from the table—it was a good thing Kuroko caught it right on time.

He sighed and clicked 'answer' again. "Yes? Kuroko Tetsuya here."

"Kuroko-kun!" It was Riko Aida, their monster coach.

"Ah, Riko-san."

"What kind of greeting was that? You sound so dull, Kuroko-kun. It's so early in the morning, you know." Is coach grunted and sighed loudly. "Anyway, we're having a hang out. We'll go at the Amusement Park later at 10 am, you're required to go. The whole team said 'yes' already."

Except me.

"But, coach, I—"

"You can't say 'no' Kuroko-kun. You just refused our invitation to the arcade two days ago. Kiyoshi won the lottery yesterday on the way home and got 15 tickets for the Amusement Park. You're required to go." She cut in.

"Um…Actually, Akashi-kun called few minutes ago and invited me to the same place at the same time today as well….and I already accepted his invitation. I couldn't take my words back, especially when it's Akashi-kun we're talking about, Riko-san…"

The other line sighed again. "Now, that is a problem. Let me think of a plan…" There was a minute of silence. "Ah! What about we all hang-out together? All the members of Generation of Miracles and all the members of Seirin Basketball Club! We can separate ways when we want to and then unite again when we want to again." She shouted.

Kuroko blinked. "Er…"

"You agree, really?! Good. Now, I'll tell that to the others. See you at the gate of the Amusement Park later at 10 am, Kuroko-kun. Bye." The other interrupted before the teal-haired teen could even utter another words then quickly hung up before he could respond.

Yes, 'I' agree. But…what about Akashi-kun and the others?

He put on his picked clothes and sat on the edge of his bed before dialing Akashi Seijuro's number. After two rings, he answered.

"Hello? Akashi Seijuro here."

"Ah, Akashi-kun. Sorry for bothering you."

"Oh, Tetsuya. It's alright. Is something the matter?" You can here concern in his tone.

Just like how he sounded before when I called him.

"I'm alright… I just, uh, got into something about the Amusement Park thing. Well, you see—"

"Let me guess, one of your teammates won the lottery on his way home and got free tickets in the Amusement Park and just awhile ago, your coach or captain called you and invited you. You were about to refuse but they reminded you that you just declined them few days ago so you cannot say no today. You explained about 'our' invitation and told him/her that you already accepted it. The other line tried to think of something and came up with a plan. A plan of us hanging out with you team, and we can separate ways with them when we want to and unite with them again when we want to." Akashi cut in.

The phantom player became speechless with how his captain truly does know everything.

He does know everything but…it's kinda creepy.

"Bull's eyes?" The red-head guessed.

"I believe that shouldn't be a question, Akashi-kun. You know it yourself: You're always right." The blue-head stated.

"Indeed. But, back to the topic. I do admit that I do not like hanging out with other people except you and the Generation of Miracles of my other current teammates yet…I also do not want you to only hang out with them. Them, who don't know what danger you are in." The other line mumbled.

The danger you are in.

Kuroko's mind flashback some of the scenes that happened few years ago…Many days has passed but the memory still haunts his dreams or even when he's awake time by time.

"Tetsuya."

The said boy stiffened. "Y-Yes?"

"I will agree upon your coach or captain's suggestion. I'll tell the others right away."

"Yes. I understand. Thank you, Akashi-kun."

"Tetsuya…before anything, are you alright? Tell me the truth."

"…Yes…Well, at least I'm not that terrified anymore. I can go out of the house and meet some new people without getting scared. I can go out with friends without thinking of negative things that might happen. And, at the very least, the bruises and pain aren't that fresh anymore. The memories just haunt me sometimes. But, so far, I believe that I'm fine." The blue-head murmured.

"I'm sorry that I still couldn't find who the culprit was back then. There were so few clues, it's almost impossible to tell even a single thing about him; the only I know about him is that he is quite masculine, has a tattoo in his left shoulder and piercing in both ears. Just remember that you can call any of us, Generation of Miracles, when you need our help. We're always ready to help, you know that. I got to go. Don't be late." He responded and hung up.

Kuroko placed his phone in his pocket and went downstairs to get breakfast ready.

Yes, he lied about being able to make the meanest boiled egg ever made in this earth when Hyuuga asked them who can cook back then. He can cook and he cooks their food everyday.

"Sheesh. My whole body still aches." A voice lazily mumbled.

He turned his head and found his older brother stretching and going downstairs. "Good morning, onni-san."

The latter grimaced and turned. "Since when were you there?"

"I was here for almost 3 minutes now."

"Ah." His older brother, Takumi Kuroko, replied and sat down in the couch, opened his laptop then started typing, ignoring his younger brother.

Kuroko took out four eggs and two bowls. He broke two eggs and placed them in one bowl. Then another two in the other bowl before stirring each bowl's contents. He took potatoes, cabbages other ingredients he found inside the fridge.

He chopped the needed ingredients. He put one scrambled egg in the pan with butter; he waited a little longer before putting some chopped vegetables on top of the half part of the scrambled egg and then flipped the half on top of the chopped vegetables. He waited for a little more and placed the finished omelet beside the all ready rice on the plate. He did the same thing on the other egg and remaining vegetables.

He placed the finished breakfast on top of the table; took out two glasses, a bottle of water a carton of milk. He then proceeded in making his brother's packed lunch.

While cooking, he glanced at his brother. His brother is 8 years older than him. His hair is a darker shade of Kuroko's hair. Takumi's eyes have the same color as his hair. He is a lot taller than his younger brother. He's working as the CEO of a Publishing Company and he's also a best-selling author. Takumi Kuroko is snobbish, work-a-holic, busy-body, hardworking, intelligent and successful. But, he rarely acknowledges his younger brother. He seldom talks with Kuroko. He's always buried with works, papers and his laptop that he's almost like their parents.

Kuroko's mom is Nuriko Kuroko. She's a fashion designer that always travels the world to meet celebrities and well-known people and make the dresses/ clothes they want that she rarely goes home; Kuroko and his brother haven't seen her for almost three years now and only get calls/texts/messages and their financial support by her.

Kuroko's father is the President of one of the most famous malls and companies here in on earth. The mall his father possesses is the Magic Mall or also known as MM, it has almost 20 branches here in Japan and more branches on other country and also: Destiny Corporation which helps well-known people make their houses his dad's corporation provide the things needed for making the houses.

He's son of well-known people, but he's not really that glad about that fact. He might be wealthy but he's invisible and unhappy.

He arrived at the Amusement Park at 9:55 am, five minutes before 10 but the members of Seirin and Gom were already there.

Aomine and Kagami are already glaring at each other. Some members of Seirin were getting irritated by Kise's continous talking. Murasakibara's already grumbling about being hungry. Midorima's already complaining about 'why he has agreed upon coming here'. Kuroko couldn't help smiling upon seeing all of them gathered there, waiting for him. He might be unhappy with his family but he has his friends that are always there to be there for him.

"Ah, Kurokocchi/Kuroko/Kuro-chin/Tetsu!" The other exclaimed and tried to hug him but they found no one in their arms.

"Am I already late, Akashi-kun?"

Everyone turned and gasped seeing Kuroko infront of Akashi.

The short red-head smirked. "Not at all. We were just early, Tetsuya."

"Ah, I see."

They all went inside and got wristbands indicating that they can ride any ride they want because the ticket they presented were like their only way to get in and out of the amusement park.

"Looks like there aren't that much people in here, huh." Kise mumbled and looked around.

"Well, of course. Some people have gone to their work and classes today, that's why." Midorima retorted.

"So, where should we start?" Riko Aida asked with a wide grin.

"Tetsuya, any request?" Akashi asked the teal-haired teen beside him.

"Uhm, how about that?" He pointed at the longest roller coaster that existed here in Japan.

The other gulped.

"A-Are you sure about your choice?" Kagami stammered.

"Why, are you scared Tiger Bakagami?" Aomine challenged.

"No, I'm not! Maybe it's you, who's scared, Ahomine!" Kgamai denied.

"Of course not!"

"That's settled then, we'll ride that one first." Riko decided and dragged Hyuuga, who dragged Kiyoshi, who dragged Izuki, who dragged Koganei, who dragged Mitobe, who dragged Tsuchida, who dragged the trio freshmen. Kise took Aomine's arm and dragged him. Murasakibara chose to bug Midorima and grabbed the poor green-head. Kuroko was left with two red-heads.

Akashi eyed the yellow-head who's holding onto the dark blue-head's arm. The latter tried to shrug the yellow-head off but the copycat just laughed which made the ace sigh. "They are going out."

"Who?" Kagami asked.

"Seriously Kagami-kun, you're so slow." His shadow bluntly replied.

"That's blunt, Kuroko. Oh, Kise and Ahomine? Yeah, they are. Maybe for almost two months now?" Kagami mumbled.

The taller red-head stiffened upon seeing the smaller red-head making a creepy smirk.

"You shouldn't have said anything." Kuroko scolded with his calm voice.

"Well, you should have said that earlier!" The other mumbled.

The members of Generation of Miracles stopped and turned to look at Kuroko and his current light but the latter just laughed and pinched his cheek. "Whatever, let's go."

The Generation of Miracles sighed breathe of relief and continued. The members of Seirin noticed their actions and exchanged looks and shrugs.

They rode the longest roller coaster in Japan. Everyone has different reactions when they rode it. Riko was laughing like a maniac. Hyuuga had a terrified expression in his face. Kiyoshi was smiling all the way. Izuki was grimacing the whole ride. Koganei was silently screaming for his life. Mitobe looked horrified but still hadn't said a word. Tsuchida looked like he wanted to jump off of it. The three freshmen were hugging one another. Akashi enjoyed the ride. Murasakibara was eating like he's not riding one of the most terrifying rides in Japan while the ride was on. Midorima's eyeglasses cracked, a proof that he's also scared for his life. Kise cried. Aomine enjoyed it the most; he was grinning all the way and wanted to ride it again later on. Kuroko just enjoyed the view the whole trip. Well, for Kagami, he was screaming the whole way and puked after the ride. I know it's disgusting but, hey, some are just like that.

"Such a scaredy-cat." The ace of Touou teased.

"Shut up, Aho—"

"To think Kagami is scared of Roller Coasters. My ears were about to be taken out awhile ago." Hyuuga muttered.

"Oh, I wonder who got a very terrified look while on the ride awhile ago." Izuki reminded.

Their captain stiffened.

"Kuroko, what's next?" Riko asked.

Kuroko looked around and pointed the 'Haunted Castle'. "I want to try that."

Aomine gulped. "That…uh, Tetsu."

"Looks like some so-called-panther is scared." Kagami took his chance and countered.

"I-I'm not, idiot! Let's go!"

Well, they all entered the Haunted Castle together but on the way got separated from one another. Some got paired, some stayed into trios. Some alone. Some as a group.

Riko was left with Hyuuga and Kiyoshi.

"It's not that scary," Riko mumbled.

"Y-Yeah, i-it isn't." Hyuuga agreed.

"Really? Then, what's that?" Kiyoshi pointed at the things on their feet.

They all looked at the ground and suddenly a hand grabbed Hyuuga's foot. It made him shout and run away. Kiyoshi ran and followed behind their captain. Riko sighed. "Such kids," She mumbled. "They're only fake." She added, squatted and poked the one who grabbed Hyuuga's foot.

That didn't feel fake.

The monster on the ground looked up at her. She screamed and ran to where Hyuuga and Kiyoshi headed to.

Koganei, Izuki, Mitobe and Tsuchida got stuck together.

"It was a good thing we're all together." Koga sighed in relief.

"True." Tsuchida agreed.

Mitobe's face made a weird expression.

"What is it, Mitobe?" Koga asked as he turned his head.

The said guy lifted his hand and pointed at something behind him.

Koga, and Izuki turned and found round ad lifeless eyes staring at them. "K-KYaaaaaa!" They yelled and grabbed one another. They tripped, stumbled and almost died just to be able to run away.

The one cosplaying the mascot removed his head's costume and grinned. "Whoa. That was worth seeing."

The trio freshmen were holding arms as they walk through the darkness.

"I-I think there isn't such a thing as ghost here." Furihata stated.

"I haven't seen even one." Fukuwa mumbled.

"Yeah, me neither." Kawahara seconded.

"Want to see one?" a different voice asked.

"Yea, su—" They were cut off when they saw who talked. It's a boy…I won't describe, I'm getting afraid myself. Just imagine a ghost boy, that's it then run to bed.

"Noooo!" They shouted and went back where they started.

Akashi, Midorima and Murasakibara handled each ghost thing-ys without any problem. Akashi even cut the hair of the girl cosplaying the main character in the grudge. Murasakibara just kicked the things that went out from the floor. Midorima sighed and used his lucky item, which is a hammer, to hit the thing that appeared on top of him.

Kuroko just held Kagami's collar at the back. Right when a ghost appear infront of him, he'll eventually run into some direction, leaving the teal-haired teen behind. Kuroko sighed. "To think he's called 'tiger'." He mumbled to himself as he watches Kagami gulp. Something liquid dropped from the ceiling. The phantom player took a hanging string, went up and kicked the just-ready-to-go-down ghost.

His current light turned. "Kuroko?"

"Nothing. We're near the end. Don't run off somewhere again, Kagami-kun."

"A-Ah, sorry."

The floor opened infront of Kagami; he stiffened. His shadow sighed and kicked it. "Let's go." He said and dragged Kagami to the light; taking his hand.

He' creepier than that Akashi sometimes.

"Hyyyyaaaaa!" Aomine screamed and went to a corner.

"Seriously, Aominecchi…"Kise laughed.

"You dare to laugh at me?! You idiot!"

"Gomen, gomen." Kise apologized, they continued their path. Surprisingly, it was Aomienw ho's clinging to Kise this time. "It was just like yesterday when your team defeated us and then I cried."

Aomine's eyes widened. "Kise…"

"You're so strong, Aominecchi." The copycat whispered.

Aomine smirked. 'Shut up, copycat." He mumbled, took the yellow-head's hand and led him the way. "I'm not going to do that again. I might had become a monster in basketball few months ago, but Tetsu changed me back. I'm not going to turn my back to any of you anymore. I'm not going to be a prideful player anymore. I will be Aomine Daiki who enjoys basketball and never turns his back to his current or former teammates. I won't leave you broken again. I won't let anyone pick you up again, besides me, myself."

After that trial, they decided to stop and just roam around.

Upon roaming around with different snacks in their mouth, they encountered a small basketball court.

"Ah, a court inside the Amusement Park? Weird. But, fun!" Kise exclaimed and went inside since no one's playing in it.

The members of Seirin bade for awhile to go to the Ferris Wheel. Kagami declined, still feeling sick.

The members of Generation of Miracles went inside the court and started playing with one another. Kuroko just stayed outside the court and sat on a bench, taking some rest.

He saw some shadow but disregarded it after awhile of trying to look if there is someone there.

"Better buy some drinks. I'm thirsty." Kagami mumbled; put some coins inside the vending machine and pressed the button of the drink he wants.

It went out. He took it; opened it and started to drink.

When Kagami turned he found a guy coming to Kuroko from behind with a handkerchief and a knife. His eyes widened and he quickly turned back, ready to run and save Kuroko.

He froze in place when the GoM who were just inside the court earlier suddenly appeared behind the oblivious Kuroko. Akashi narrowed his eyes that paralyzed the attacker. Aomine's fist quickly made contact with the attacker which sent him flying into the nearest tree.

The teal-haired teen blinked then turned. His eyes widened and his hands started to tremble as he looked at his attacker who was now sleeping while leaning at the tree behind him. Midorima covered Kuroko's eyes with his hand and said something.

Kagami frowned. What's up with this group? What do they know that we don't? What is Kuroko's secret?

He threw his drink's container at the nearest trash can and approached his shadow.

"Kuroko, you alright?"

Kuroko removed Midorima's hand on his eyes and nodded with his usual expression. "I'm alright, Kagami-kun."

"I think it'll be better if we go somewhere else." Akashi decided and placed Kuroko beside him as they walked towards the so-called Arcade.

"I want to try this one…" Kuroko whispered as he stared at all the contents of the crane game. They're chicks with different colors and even some chicks have the same color as the others but just shades darker.

"But you're not good at crane games, Kuroko." Kagami stated.

"I'll do it then." Midorima volunteered. "I'm just going to do it because Oha-Asa said that it's good for Cancers to do some crane games for today."

"What do you want him to get then, Tetsuya?" Akashi asked.

"Er…I want all the chicks with all different colors." The phantom player replied.

"Alright then," The smaller red-head whispered, insert a coin and the game started. "This light blue one."

"Like this?" Midorima asked and got what Akashi pointed.

"Wow, he's still go at it!" Kise mumbled.

"Still?"

"He's always winning that game since we were in middle school." Murasakibara explained while munching another lollipop.

"This dark blue one. Then this yellow one, then this light red one, the this dark red one, then this green one, then violet one, then this pink one, then this orange one, then this, this and then this, this and then this, this, this and this, this, this, and then lastly, this." Akahsi pointed all the different colored chicks.

And Midorima got all of them one by one.

They got all they want after only half of the time given by the game.

"Here you go, Tetsuya. Consider it as a gift from everyone since each of them has the color of our hair." Akashi offered and placed all the chick toys inside a paperbag he has, which magically and suddenly appeared.

I'll just stop myself from wondering where he got this paperbag.

They all went back home at about six in the afternoon.

The teal-haired teen got back home and found his brother locked up in his room again. The phantom player sighed and went to his room. He placed all the chick toys on the headboard before his bed's headrest.

He smiled by himself and laid on his bed. His phone vibrated, indicating that there was message.

He opened it, expecting message from his former or current teammates but…he's wrong.

From: Him

To: Kuroko Tetsuya

Subj: Long time no see.

Message: Hey, it has been a while. About two years? Missing me? I know, I also do. Don't worry, soon, I'll come back there in Japan and look for you. Soon, my sweet sweet Tetsuya. Hope to hear you again. See you soon, my sweet. You won't miss me anymore, then.

Kuroko quickly and forecefully placed his cellphone beside his pillow. He sat on his bed and his body started to tremble again.

"Oh, my Tetsuya…"

"No…Please, I beg you!"

The blue-head teen held his head and tears started to pour in his cheeks. "No…No…Please…"

His phone rang. He shakily took it and answered.

"Tetsuya, how—Tetsuya, did something happen? Tetsuya?!"

"Akashi-kun…He messaged me…He's coming back…He's…Akashi-kun!" He shouted.

"Don't go out. I'll call the others. We'll be there as soon as possible."

His hands trembled more.

"You were a good choice."

"No…No…I—"

"Stop it!" Kuroko shouted and threw his phone.

Takumi Kuroko heard the commotion in his younger brother's room. "Tetsuya…?"

"Akashi-kun…anyone…." Tetsuya Kuroko cried.

Takumi placed his laptop on his bed and went out of his room and leaned on his brother's door to listen.

"Cut it out! Please…Please! No more…" His younger brother shouted and cried.

He froze in place. He has never tried being Tetsuya's big brother…what was he supposed to do?

A/N: That was too long for me. –take a deep breath-

If there were any mistakes, I beg your pardon, I'm in a hurry!

By the way the words which were italicized and bold at the same time were memories or dialogues from flashbacks.

Hope you liked it!

PLEASE REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!

Sneak Peek:

"Tell us what is going!" Kagami shouted.

Akashi wrapped his arms around the crying Kuroko. "You dare to shout at me, Kagami Taiga?"

"Why was he so afraid? Has something happened before that we do not know? What's going on?" Kagami ranted.

Kise blocked Akashi and Kuroko. "No. Take a step closer to Kurokocchi and you'll face us."

"I'm his light, damn it!"

This time, it was Aomine who went infront. "Your light is too dim."

"It's too dim, you didn't notice that your shadow was not happy anymore. That he's lost already in the darkness. He became too invisible." Midorima added.

"W-What?"

"Kuro-chin's breaking apart but you didn't notice that."

"Breaking apart?" Kagami repeated and he glanced at his shadow. He's still trembling helplessly at his former captain's arms. Tears are dropping on the floor as he silently cries.

"Yes, he's breaking apart." Akashi stated.

"But….why?"

A/N: I wonder.
