Chapter 1

The Room

A large room incased in gold, adobe buildings lined the walls a few oil lamps were placed throughout the area. Multiple paths of staircases, some upside down and sideways, leading up to the non-encased ceiling. And in the middle of the room, sitting on the bottom stair was a teen with tinted orange hair. He was staring mournfully at the floating sphere in front of him.

The Rukh were rebuilding the body of a Magi once again, and if the familiar blue hair was anything to go by, it was the one he had personally greeted last time.

'Only four years...huh?'

The head was fully regrown and he saw a white-gold and sapphire earring was attached to the boys ear. Usually all possessions the Magi obtained during their previous life disappeared after they died. The only exception was when an object meant more to them than just material possession.

'You really loved your old master, didn't you Kuroko..?'

There was a slight movement out of the corner of his eyes as the sphere slowly dissolved and the Rukh around it, slowed down. Turning, he watched as the boy's feet slowly touched the ground and after a moment blue eyes opened. He contained his excitement, wanting to greet the boy who had smiled up at him and laughed at his jokes years ago.

He remembered the day that the Rukh had made the boy and they had first met here in this labyrinth. The bright and innocent smile he had given him, a mere Djinn. He had been so eager to see new things and new people.

The Rukh could rebuild bodies and erase memories, but some emotions were another thing, and seeing that expressionless face on the usually cheerful twelve-year olds face, the orange-haired teen felt even more hatred for the boys previous master. He smiled sadly before putting on his usual grin when he saw the blue-haired boy look at him in confusion. He hurriedly introduced himself once again.

'Alright! This just means I have to try harder to make him smile!'

"I'm Ogiwara Shigehiro! The Djinn that takes care of this place." He spread his arms wide, gesturing to the huge gold incased room they were in. "And you are?" He already knew but the other didn't know that he did.

"Ah..Kuroko Tetsuya. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ogiwara-kun." He bowed to the teen in front of him. Straightening, the reborn Magi looked around and he asked hesitantly. "Wh-where is this..?"

'Still as polite as ever...'

"This is where people are sent when they are to be reassigned." Ogiwara wasn't allowed to let anyone know about the real reason they had wound up here...But he was fine with that, since he didn't think people would take the whole 'you died' speech well...

"Reassigned?"

'Ahh...I need to explain things better!' It had been four years since he did this, ironically for the same person in front of him.

"Yes, you will be sent to the world to explore. And if anyone feels...odd to you then you'll know what to do when the time comes. Understand?" He seemed even more confused after that, but he didn't know how to explain it better...so he went on to the next matter.

"This is your magic channeler. The light butterflies floating around you right now are called Rukh, it's the basic form of all life. You can use the scepter to make them gather around you." He handed the blue-haired boy a silver pole that had a blue sphere at the top of it. "To bring out or make your scepter disappear, you only need to think about it, okay?"

Kuroko tried and sure enough, it disappeared a few seconds later. His eyes widened a little, but it was nothing compared to how his reaction was when he had learned of it four years ago... How the boy had practically jumped in joy at seeing such a magnificent thing and being the one to do it.

He stared at the boy with pained eyes and immediately knew. He couldn't send him on his own with no protection like last time...He had to make sure he was okay on his journey. Taking off one of the bracelets from his wrist, he grabbed the boy's hand.

"If you ever need help. Don't hesitate to summon me." Kuroko watched as Ogiwara clamped the piece of jewelry onto his wrist and he was about to say that it was too big, but almost immediately it shrunk to fit his smaller wrist perfectly. He stared at the golden object in wonder. There was something warm about it that made him feel safe.

"Thank you, Ogiwara-kun." The bluenette gave the teen in front of him a small but thankful smile. Making the orange head blush.

'Good, he can still smile...Maybe the trauma isn't permanent.'

"Alright! Get going before I change my mind!" He shouted, patting the boy's head.

"Ah, yes." He still felt a little overwhelmed at going somewhere he'd never been to before, but was curious about this 'world' Ogiwara had talked about. "I'll be going then."

"Good luck..." Ogiwara watched as the boy bowed to him before turning and heading for the door of light that led to the human world.

'I feel like I forgot something...' He put a finger to his chin and thought hard. The orange-haired teen started pacing and heard a jingling noise every time he moved, he paused. 'Money pouch...'

"I forgot to give him the money!" He shouted into the empty room in horror. Not only was he going to be in trouble, but now the bluenette didn't have money! It was too late now...The only way he could leave this area was if the boy summoned him...He sighed and plopped back down on the steps, angry at his forgetfulness...

The World

'This is...the world?' He only saw sand...lots and lots of sand... The boy turned, hearing some sounds in the distance. So he walked in that direction, seeing a few buildings as he got closer to the noise.

Blue eyes looked at the hundreds of people who were crowded in the narrow walkway. Carts full of stuff were lined up on either side of the place. It was loud and hectic, and it made the bluenette feel uncomfortable. But, seeing as that was the only way to go, or he'd have to go back into the desert, he walked forward.

People didn't notice him so many times he got pushed or shoved into the crowd. But eventually the roughness dwindled, allowing him to look at his surroundings.

"Apples, get your apples here!" He turned at the loud voice and saw that there were dozens of people crowded around a cart that had red things in it, so he went closer to see what everyone was looking at.

'Apples..?' Curious blue eyes stared at the round objects in front of him.

"Would you like an apple, kid?" The man behind the cart asked, noticing the boy in front of him after a while.

"Yes, please." He wanted to see if they were good since everyone seemed eager to buy them. The man smiled at the boy and handed him the fruit.

"That'll be one silver." He held out his hand, which remained empty since the boy was just looking at him in confusion.

"Silver..?" He tilted his head, not understanding what the man was talking about. This answer implied to the merchant that the boy had no intention of paying him and his mood took a 180.

"No money, no food." The merchant frowned at the boy and grabbed the apple back. "Now beat it, I've got paying customers to attend to."

Kuroko didn't know what he'd done to the person to make him mad, but he didn't want to cause any troubles so he started to turn to walk away, when a hand landed on his shoulder stopping him.

"I'll pay it for him." A man said from behind them and the blue-haired boy turned to look at him. It was a middle-aged man with a beard and black hair wrapped in a head scarf.

The merchant turned away from his customer to look at the person who just spoke and saw the man had a silver coin in his hand, holding it out to him. He took the coin and gave him the apple.

"Thanks for your purchase." The merchant grinned and pocketed the money.

The man handed the bluenette the apple and steered him away from the merchant shops so it was less noisy.

"Thank you very much." He gave the man a bow once they were away from the large crowd.

"It's no problem, kid." He looked around while the boy munched on the apple he had gotten, who winced.

'Sour...' But, he kept eating it since the other had been nice enough to get it for him.

"Haha, not good?" He had seen the wince. "If you want, I could get you something sweet."

"It's fine. I wouldn't want to be a bother and you already gave me this. I couldn't possibl-."

"Nonsense! It's no trouble at all!" The man stood and held out his hand for the short boy to take. Taking his hand, the both walked towards one of the carts and the man ordered himself a beer and the boy something called juice. They headed to another secluded area to drink their drinks. When the man tried to give pass him his juice, he felt bad.

"I don't have 'silver' for it..." He frowned. After seeing what the man gave the other merchant, he assumed silver was a metal that people wanted.

"It's fine! This is free. No payment necessary." The man handed the boy a cup, who accepted it hesitantly. "Here."

'Free..?'

"Ah, thank you." The bluenette brought the cup to his mouth and took a sip, drinking more when he found that it tasted good.

The black-haired man watched the boy drink with a smile on his face. It was a bit weird to the bluenette, but he assumed the man was probably thinking about something that made him happy.

He was about to bring the juice back to his mouth when he started feeling weird... His mind felt foggy, and he felt light-headed. And his body was starting to feel numb, making him drop the cup that was in his hands. He tried to apologize, but he couldn't get the words out.

'Wh-What's going on..?'

"Ah...Don't fight it kid, I slipped some of this into it while you weren't looking. It's pointless anyway, this stuff can paralyze even an adult for a while. Just be a good boy and relax." Kuroko used the last of his strength to look at the man who was smiling down at him. When he saw that smile, he knew something was wrong and he tried to get his body to move, but it was useless and he fell to the ground as the strength left him.

The man grinned and bent down, picking the boy up and putting him over his shoulder before walking.

"Don't worry. Since you're such a polite and cute looking boy, I'm sure there'll be many offers for you." The man said as he carried the conscious, but paralyzed boy to the carriage that his partner was waiting at.

"Sorry for being late." He said, placing the boy in the back of the carriage when they arrived.

"Eh..? He's a bit small for working don't you think?" The brown-haired man said.

"Idiot! I'm not talking about him working. There are other things slaves are good for."

"Ah..Well, he does have a cute face..." He grinned. "Alright, let's g-."

"What do you bastards think you're doing?!" A rough voice shouted from behind, making them turn around. Kuroko watched with hazy eyes as the teen approached the two men. "Take that kid out of your carriage..."

"Buzz off, we got this kid fair and square. It's not against the law to do this anymore."

"Even so, I won't allow such acts!" The red-haired teen pull the sword out from its sheath, that was attached to his back. Seeing this, the two men also brought out their khopesh's.

"It's two against one. Just back away."

"Hah? Two verse one...That's no fair..." The teen grinned. "You'll need at least twenty to beat me."

"Y-You...!" They charged at him. There was no way they could lose against a teen half their age.

But when the red-head dodged and expertly disarmed one of them, they started getting worried. With reckless and quick slashes he managed to knock the others sword from his hands. And with the two of them sword-less, he sheathed his sword and attacked them with his fists.

They didn't expect someone like him to be this strong...And within a minute they were both on the ground covered in bruises and aching all over. The red-head looked at them in disappointment. He had hoped they would put up a better fight...but oh well.

He stepped over the pained men and went to the carriage. Looking inside he saw the blue-haired boy inside and picked him up, wincing a little at how light he was. He was glad that he stepped in...if this boy were forced into slavery, he doubted he would've made it. Still holding him, he glared at the two on the ground.

"Give me the antidote..." The beaten up man shakily brought his hand to the insides of his robes, and handed the teen a vial. "Now get lost!"

The two of them hurriedly went to the front of the carriage and drove away.

"Tch...bastards..." The red-head muttered, before turning back to the paralyzed boy. "You're going to be fine. Just drink this."

He tilted the pale boys head back and poured the liquid into his mouth. A few minutes later, Kuroko could finally feel his body and shakily stood.

"Th-Thank you." He tried to bow, but swayed a bit, still not completely back to normal.

"No problem. Don't go accepting stuff from strangers, okay kid?" The red-haired teen ruffled the boy's hair and headed back on his way to where he was going before he had seen the suspicious looking men.

As he walked down the nearly empty city streets, he could hear footsteps behind him every now and then...But when he turned around he didn't notice anyone...Was he being paranoid..?

He was about to put it down to that explanation when he suddenly saw something beside him, out of the corner of his eyes and turned. He almost had a heart attack when he saw it was the boy he had just saved. How had he caught up to him?! Better yet, why?!

"Look kid...I know I saved you and all...BUT will you stop following me?!" Kagami glared at the boy.

"Ah..." The bluenette had a slight frown on his face.

"I can't be babysitting you. I have a job to do!" He tried to make the saddened boy understand. Seeing the boy was about to respond, he continued. "And it's too dangerous for a kid to come with me." Satisfied with his own statement he went back to eating.

"I...See..." He frowned, making the other feel horrible.

"I guess I can help you look for your parents at least...Where are they?"

"Parents..?" What were those..?

"Yeah, the people who you live with. Your mom and dad!" Still confusion on the boys face.

"I do not know anyone like that..." Kuroko said.

'Maybe he means Ogiwara-kun..?'

'What..?' How could this kid not know of his own parents?!

"What exactly do you remember..?" Seriously the naiveness of this boy was incredible. Falling for such an obvious kidnapping attempt and having little to no knowledge about a lot of stuff...

"I woke up in a room a few hours ago..." He put a finger to his lips and tried to think of anything else that could help, but couldn't. "I don't really remember anything other than that..."

'Doesn't remember anything...Could he have amnesia...Is that why he looks so emotionless all of the time..?' Kagami groaned. He couldn't possible leave an oblivious boy like this alone...especially with his cute looks. There would be more incidents like what happened before...

"Alright...you can tag along until we get to the orphanage..." Even if he couldn't leave him alone, he also couldn't take him along on such dangerous missions.

The boy nodded and followed the teen. They walked for a few minutes in silence, before the red-head felt his stomach growl. He stopped and turned to the blue-haired boy next to him.

"Want to eat?"

"Anything but apples..." Kuroko said, remembering the sour food he had before. Kagami chuckled at the random response.

They both headed to a nearby tavern. Which smelled weird to the boy, but the older seemed to not mind, so he didn't worry about it too much. Sitting at one of the tables near the door, they waited to place their orders.

"What would you both like?" A woman asked, looking as if she'd rather be a million miles away from this place.

"I'll have three steaks. What do you want, kid?"

"Mm... I don't know..."

'Oh right...amnesia...'

"Give him some chicken and fruit. No apples though..." He saw the relieved look the other sent him and laughed, making the waitress confused. She nodded and took her leave.

A few minutes later their food arrived and Kagami dug into it. Kuroko tried some of the chicken and the oval-shaped green fruits, deciding he liked them better than the meat, he ate them.

"Hurry and eat so we can go to the orphanage, I have to slay something by tomorrow and collect my reward." He spoke, cheeks full of food.

He could tell that the 'orphanage' was some place that the other had to leave him at, and for some reason...Kuroko didn't want to leave this teen...he felt something about him. So he tried to understand why the other wanted him gone.

"Why are you doing such dangerous jobs?" The bluenette asked.

"Isn't it obvious?! The challenge!" A huge grin replaced the red-heads scowl. "Testing your strength and beating your opponent!"

Kuroko tilted his head to the side, not really understanding the others reasoning. Seeing the look, he sighed.

"And the money is good too. I can buy a whole lot of food and weapons!"

'Ah...That money thing again...' He decided to let the matter drop and ate a few more of the grapes. Everything in this place was weird. Selling people, trading food and risking your life for pieces of metal...He'd never understand it.

As they finished their meal, the red-head eating the rest that the bluenette couldn't finish, he decided it was time to go and reached into the pouch hanging from his belt, trying to get a few coins from it to pay.

"Ah..." Kagami unclipped the bag and looked inside of his money pouch, seeing that it was empty...

'Forgot I spent all of my money on this sword...'

"You wouldn't happen to have money, would you..?" He asked sheepishly, scratching his cheek. When he received a shake of the head, he sighed.

'Of course he wouldn't...He has freaking amnesia!' Seeing there was only one way out of this situation, Kagami looked around the room before whispering to the boy in front of him.

"Okay...When I count to three...run...and don't stop or look back no matter what. Got it?" Kuroko was confused, but nodded in confirmation.

"One...Two...Three!" Both the red and blue-haired boys ran out of the restaurant, ignoring the angry calls of the owner.

"He seemed mad..." The bluenette said when they were far away from the tavern and had slowed down to a walk.

"Eh..." Kagami could see the kid felt guilty so he tried to make him feel better. "That food was free, he just wanted us to eat more...yeah..."

"Oh, yes free." Kuroko said accepting the explanation, remembering the man from before had said that some things didn't need to be paid for.

'He believed me?!' Kagami felt even worse now for tricking him so easily...

They walked down the dirt roads, until they saw something that made them stop. A few meters away there were two men glaring down at a homeless looking woman who was on her knees begging. As they got closer, they could make out what they were saying.

"Hey, you got dirt on my robes, you scum!" One of the nicely dressed men said.

"I-I'm sorry!" The woman apologized, only to scream in pain as she received a kick to the face.

"Sorry won't get this mark off of my clothes, moron! What are you going to do about it, huh?!" He kicked the fallen womans side.

"P-Please, I don't have money to pay for it...I'm really s-sorry..." Seeing the man about to kick the woman again, Kagami got fed up.

'How dare they do that to someone for such a petty reason?!' Kagami gritted his teeth.

"More of those bastards...Stay here, I'll handl-." He stopped talking, noticing that the boy had disappeared. He looked around wildly for him and was about to go back to the restaurant to search for him along the way, when he heard his voice a few feet away...right in front of the men who were hurting the woman.

"Please, it's not good to use violence." The blue-haired boy stared up at the two men in front of him, standing between them and the woman.

'What the hell is he doing?!' He thought in horror. Why was such a weak boy standing up to men who could break him like a twig?! He snapped out of his disbelief when he saw one of them grab the boy's shirt and pick him off of the ground with one hand.

"You brat, what do you think you're doing?"

"This is wrong. Hitting people is bad." Even the amnesic could tell that people bringing pain to others wasn't good.

"Hah? Who do you think you are, kid?!" The man yelled and was about to punch the boy, when a large hand stopped him.

"I'd put him down if I were you." A harsh voice spoke. He turned and saw a muscular teen with dark red hair. He was about to shout back at him immediately, when he saw the intense animal like fire in the others red eyes, making him shiver in fear a bit.

'Tch, he's just a kid too! Don't feel intimidated!'

"Why don't you mind your own business, boy!" He shouted, trying to get him to leave. But when the hand only tightened on his arm, he gasped in pain and dropped the boy, who fell to the ground. "Ow! Let go!"

"Hah? You like causing others pain, but can't deal with just this much?" Kagami was not impressed.

"Y-You brat! Let go of him!" The other man said, charging to punch the teen.

Kagami, still gripping the mans arm, brought up his leg and kicked the other in the stomach, making him fall backwards onto the barrels nearby. The man he was holding took his chance to try to swing his free arm to hit the red-head, but he couldn't move his arm and looked down to see the blue-haired boy was holding onto him with both arms.

The red-head, realizing what the man had just tried to do, scowled and punched the man in the face, sending him crashing into the barrels as well.

"Now since all of your clothing is dirty, I don't think you have any reason to pick on this lady anymore, right?" Kagami glared down at the two of them, who stared back with annoyed expressions before yelping and running when the red-heads glare got more intense.

"Are you okay, ma'am?" He heard the bluenette ask as he bent down to help the woman up.

"Ah...yes...Thank you both very much!" She bowed to them, gratefully. "If there's anything I can do..."

"No need. I'd have done it eventually. I hate bastards like that..." Kagami looked in the direction that they had fled, making sure they wouldn't come back. "You should get going in case they decide they want revenge."

"Oh! Alright, thank you again!" She smiled and hurried away, leaving the red and blue-haired boys alone.

Kagami stared at the bluenette eyes narrowed as he thought back to what he had done before. He had stopped that man from punching him when he wasn't paying attention...

"You may not be strong, but at least you have guts, kid..." The red-head sighed, when the boy tilted his head at him. "Fine...You can come with me..."

The red-haired teen was about to leave it at that, when he realized that he didn't know the boy's name, and vice versa.

"I'm Kagami Taiga. You?"

"Kuroko. Kuroko Tetsuya."

"Alright, Kuroko. Let's get going!" Kagami grinned, picked up his sword and started walking again. For a second, the blue-haired boy saw the image of someone tanned replacing the red-heads figure, but when he blinked the image disappeared so he shrugged it off. "Well, are you coming?"

"Yes..." The bluenette gave the enthusiastic teen a small smile, following behind him.
