Juliessa: Here's quarter 2. My updates will be random 'cuz I only write when I feel like writing. But I'll try to finish it quickly since right now I'm in a great Akafuri mood.

Quarter 2: Akashi is a light that is too fearsome and bright

At the school infirmary,

"Hey Furi," Kagami called his still shocked friend. "Hey nurse, are you sure she's gonna talk?" He turned to the nurse, who was currently treating Furihata. As she was finishing her final touch of applying medicine, she replied his worried question.

"Well, I think so. That depends on how much trauma she'd got. What exactly happened to her to get shocked like this?" The nurse fetched some bandages for the brunette.

"An unknown freak tried to stab her with a pair of scissors. Who the hell he is? But I think Kuroko knows him. I'll just ask her later and he's so dead." Kagami gripped his fists hard as he answered.

"Don't!"

"Huh? Did you say something, nurse?" Kagami faced the ladies. "Oh, Furi, you finally speak again! That's great." He yelled. "You made me worried, you little girl."

"I'm sorry, Kagami-kun." Furi smiled gently. She got up from sitting on the bed since the nurse had finished treating. "Thanks, Miss Nurse. I'm fine now."

"OK, then. Take this and apply generously on your wound twice a day. It's not good to have a scar on a lady's face." The nurse handed a tube of ornament from the medicine cabinet.

"I understand. Then we'll be going." The two teens said goodbye to the medical nurse and Kagami reached out for the door. But the door was already opened.

"Hey, I don't remember leaving the door opened." Kagami said. "Are you sure, Kagami-kun? May be you forgot to close it?" Furihata told her friend.

"Kagami-kun, Furihata-chan, I'm right here." A voice appeared. "Umm, here!" A certain blunette waved her hands to get attention.

"Ahhh!" Kagami shouted. "Kuroko, don't scare me like that. How long have you been here?" Furihata was also got scared and clang onto Kagami's arm. "I've just arrived, but you didn't notice me." Kuroko sighed. All of her friends acted like this whenever she showed up. "How's your wound?" She looked at the wound carefully with concern. "I'm sorry. Akashi-kun is always like this. Well, being raised up in a wealthy family, his actions are surely weird." Kuroko and the others stepped out of the room.

"Who's that guy, anyway?" Kagami asked. "Hey, why don't we go and grab something at Maji Burger and talk?"

"I already had coffee with Akashi-kun, but a cup of vanilla shake won't hurt me, I think." Kuroko approved. The silent Furihata also nodded to show that she agreed with them.

xXx

"Kagami-kun, you're ordering too much." Kuroko complained, seeing a mountain of burger in his tray."And you're eating too little!" Kagami immediately replied. Furihata could not help but smiled at her friends. Whenever they ate out, the two of them would fight like a married couple , mostly Kagami because he was always yelling while Kuroko did not even change her expression and monotonous voice.

"So who's he?" Kagami repeated his question after taking a big bite of his Maji Super Jumbo Burger.

"His name is Akashi Seijuurou." Kuroko gave the answer they were longing for so long.

"AKASHI SEIJUUROU!" Furihata yelled with extremely wide eyes. Kagami plus the surrounding people looked at her. She realized that her voice was too loud so she immediately bowed down and hid her face from embarrassment.

"Who's that Akashi guy?" Kagami started unwrapping another burger. Furihata's head suddenly rose up, looked at him in disbelieve and her expression became like their captain, Hyuga Junpei's expression when he whined about Kagami being a kid from abroad and knew nothing about Japanese culture and stuffs.

"Akashi Seijuurou is the captain of the generation of miracles." The brunette explained, but again got beaten by another stupid question "And what's that crap?" from Kagami. She looked at the vanilla-drinking teen hopelessly. Kuroko got what her friend saying in her eyes and decided to explain it herself.

"The generation of miracles is referred to five basketball prodigies. They're all from Teiko Middle School, the same school as me. And Akashi-kun is the captain of the team and also my ex. I tried to break up with him in the middle of our third year in the middle school. And before the high school started, I decided to keep my distance from him and decided to attend Seirin while he's going to Rakuzen. But, he found out what school I go and came here for a talk and the accident happened." Kuroko finished.

During her explanation, Furihata could understand why Kuroko would try to get free from Akashi. After all, she thought, no girl would be able to stay close to Akashi for a long period when he was incredibly SCARY to live with. The moment when he landed his icy glance on her, she felt like she was going to die. She did not even know what was happening in the surrounding. All she felt was the cold and terrifying feeling spreading from her nerve veins to her spinal cord.

"So those guys are strong, huh?" Kagami grinned. He stood up to order some more burger.

'Kagami, after hearing from her, the only thing got in your stupid head is basketball!' Furihata yelled inwardly.

"It might be hard falling for a guy like that." Furi said, stirring her coke. Kuroko smiled.

"I don't even remember why I fell for him. May be when your first love didn't notice or care you and there's another guy waiting for you in the back, so you found yourself becoming his girlfriend to relieve your own sorrow. I know that's kinda cheating, but now his light is too bright for me that I can't stay near him any longer. He deserves a better girl unlike me." Kuroko was smiling, but her eyes were full of sorrow. She looked painful.

"What are you saying? You've your right to do whatever you want. If you get tired of him, you can just break him up." Kagami, who just came back, placed his arms on the girls' shoulders and hugged. "Don't worry. I'm here to protect you girls. Also I'll beat the crap out of Akashi for you, Furi." He smiled brightly. At that time, Kuroko felt that he was a light which could even shine brighter than the generation of miracles.

"Thanks, Kagami-kun. But don't go fight Akashi." Furi smiled at her friend. So did Kuroko.

"Eh? Why?" The confused Kagami asked.

"I just don't want to get into any deeper relationship with him. It's fine like this now." Furi replied. 'Yeah, it's fine like this. I don't wish to get involve with his business anymore. Like Kuroko said he's too bright and fearsome.' Furihata did not know back then that she was going to get more involve with the fearsome emperor.
