"Who are you and how did you know my name?" Akashi demanded Kuroko who was shocked at his sudden movement. His voice full of authority and his eyes; golden and red, mismatched eyes.
Wait.
Mismatched?
Before she could say anything, Aomine intervened and dismissed the man's hand with the resulted of the scissor to slide through Kuroko's neck. Kuroko emotionlessly brought her arms to her neck. Then she stared at her now painted blood hands.
"Just what do you thing you are doing Akashi?" Aomine boomed glaring at the shorter boy.
…
'Friends are like colors; they color out your life, they shine out your life and you can mix them to see their true color and nature'
…
Akashi simply ignored Aomine and continued persuading the motionless girl. "I repeat it again. How did you know my name?" Akashi was aware that he just bruised a woman but it was not his fault. It was the ganguro's fault for intervene him.
Kuroko stared at her painted hands. "No…" she whispered, shaking her head. "You're not him. You're different."
Akashi raised an eyebrow, listening to her soft whispers. "What?"
Kuroko looked up to him. For a brief second, Akashi thought he saw sadness presence in her baby blue orbs but just like that it swept into a lifeless one. It looked dead. 'Weird. . .' Akashi thought.
"I'm sorry but I must go now." Kuroko scurried away from him grabbing Aomine by the arms. Aomine panicked, "Whaaaa, Tetsu!" Kuroko continued to speed up hoping that she already lost him.
Akashi knew he could still chase them but he dismissed the idea as soon it flew into his mind. After all this doesn't mean the last time they were going to meet. They were going to meet a lot in the future, that, Akashi can promise. This girl surprised him. He was just testing her on how she knew her name but that ganguro just had to ruin it. 'Daiki needs to be punished later.' Akashi noted.
Akashi examined his scissor and spotted Kuroko's trail of blood draining it. He thrust his hand into his pocket and pulled out his handkerchief. He neatly wiped Kuroko's blood from his favorite scissor before putting it back inside his pocket.
'She intrigued me.' A smile crossed his stoic face that scared the life out of the other members of Generation of Miracles. "Ryouta, Shintarou, Atsushi."
They stared at the small male. "Yes Akashicchi/Aka-chin/Akashi?"
"Find me that girl by tomorrow." With that being said, Akashi strutted away from them. Akashi knew it would be pointless if asked the ganguro because he probably wouldn't even tell him.
...
"I'm sorry that I suddenly dragged you out of nowhere Aomine-kun." Kuroko apologized, bowing her head in deject. She doesn't know what came to her mind to run like that back then. "I know I'm not supposed to do that I'm really sorry. Aomine-kun must doesn't want to be friend with me anymore after I trouble you and your friends."
"No!" Aomine cut off. "Looked at you, jumping into conclusions . . . it's not your fault. Uhh how do I explain this?" He talked to himself, closing his eyes, trying to comprehend the thing that just happened. Kuroko took this chance to recover herself and took out her band-aid. She pulled out the plaster that said, 'World's greatest Guns' and plastered it on her wounded neck.
Aomine took a notice of this and frowned, "I'm sorry for what happened back then. . . does it still hurts?"
Kuroko shook her head as a no, her face calm. Aomine sighed, "But really Tetsu, how did you know his name is Akashi?" Truthfully, Aomine was also shocked at the petite woman in front of him to know Akashi's name when she just entered this university. It did make him curious of all sudden.
"His name is really Akashi?" The bluenette questioned, unsure.
Aomine sent her a weird look. Really, this woman sure is full of surprises. "Yes his name is Akashi Seijuuro. And I would like to know how did you know his name?"
"Seijuuro huh?" Kuroko mumbled, eyes darting to the floor seeming to think of something. Perhaps I was wrong. He's different. She took a deep breath. "His face reminds me of someone I know in the past. Perhaps I mistook him as one of my friends. It was a coincidence that my friend has also the same name, Akashi and the same flaming red hair." Kuroko shrugged, tilting her shoulders. But the name Seijuuro is almost the same. I hope Kagami-kun was here. . .
Aomine nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Perhaps it's just a coincidence as you say Tetsu."
Kuroko hummed as a response. "Hmm,"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot that you have your orientation right now right? Where do you want me to take you?" Aomine asked, remembering his main purpose to come.
Kuroko straightened up her body, standing up from her previous spot. "Right. Take me to the cafeteria."
…
The sound of her alarm woke Kuroko up the next morning. Kuroko slammed her hand to push the button off. She lazily forced her body to wake up and made herself a way to the bathroom. She washed herself and wore light blue long sleeve blouse with frills and white short. She worn teal headband around her head and made a bow below her neck.
Kuroko rent a house for her own near the campus because she doesn't like to have a roommate. She was nobody and people will probably get bored with her. She pays the bill with her part-time job money she worked before with the help of her parents. Kuroko glanced at her wristwatch. 7:30 in the morning.
The house wasn't that big but enough for two more person to fit in. Kuroko sauntered to the kitchen and started to boil eggs for her bento. She strutted to her room and picked up her bag. Kuroko then packed up her boiled eggs and put it inside her bag. She switched off the lights and fan before heading out to campus.
…
'Yellow is the color of hope'
'Purple is the color of kindness'
Walking to her destination, Kuroko stopped her track when she noticed Maji Burger on her left. She quickly entered it, deciding to have some vanilla milkshake since she had an hour left before her calculus class started.
"Welcome to Maji Burger, what would you like to eat?" A woman asked, smiling at her.
"I'll just have vanilla milkshake." Kuroko replied in flat tone. "One vanilla milkshake coming up." The woman shouted at the workers who responsible for milkshakes.
"Ahh, I can't remember what Midorimacchi's order! Help me Murasakibaracchi!" Kuroko glanced at her left side. She remembered the voice. It's the blondie from yesterday. Beside him was a giant that Kuroko assumed was Murasakibaracchi.
"I don't know. . . maybe Mido-chin ordered a burger?" The giant shrugged. "Faster Kise-chin, let's go to convenience store after this, I want to buy snacks."
"Slow down Murasakibaracchi! Haaaahhhh, what to do? What to do?" Kise groaned, scratching his head in frustration. "Uhhh, I'll just have set two with extra cheese?" Kise made it sound like a question, confusing the worker who worked at the counter.
"—Miss? Miss?" The woman's voice caught all three attentions. Kuroko quickly turned her head back, silently praying that the two men didn't see her. "Your vanilla milkshake is ready." She mentioned the vanilla milkshake at the counter. "That will be—"
Kuroko opened her purse, putting the exact money on the counter, "Here!" Good thing she knew the amount of one vanilla milkshake since she always orders it. The woman stared at her, confusion evidence in her eyes, before concluding that Kuroko was probably in a hurry. She nodded her head, and putted the money faster.
After twenty seconds or so, Kuroko finally hear the receipt printing. The woman tears it out of the machine and handed it to Kuroko. Kuroko snatched it from her and took her milkshake, before saying a quick, "Thanks!"
Kise saw this and instantly recognize the face. "Murasakibaracchi! It's the girl from yesterday! Come on we need to follow her." He turned back at the counter and told, "Cancel all the orders! Here, I'll give you my autograph as a sorry!" Kise started scribbled his sign on a piece of paper. Faster faster faster
Murasakibara nudged Kise, telling him to do it faster. "Faster Kise-chin. We can't lose her."
"Done!" Kise announced, much too aloud then they rushed out from the fast-food store. "Maybe she went to the campus . . . since it's near here. Come on Murasakibaracchi!"
…
'Green is the color of nature –new and alive'
True to Kise's word, Kuroko was, in fact, right in front of the campus. She swift her ID card at the scanner and putted it inside her pocket. Kuroko sighed in relief the moment she thought she lost them. She happily sipped in her vanilla milkshake without feeling any worry.
'Why are they following me in the first place?' Kuroko frowned. She noticed that she had about half an hour left before her calc start. She yawned and closed her mouth then continued on slurping her vanilla milkshake. She closed her eyes and—
SPLASH/
Kuroko's milkshake went flying and fortunate for her it didn't stained the culprit who bumped her. "Watch where you going-nodayo." The vanilla-milkshake-destroyer said.
"My vanilla milkshake . . . I haven't even finished it yet." Kuroko muttered under her breath. The vanilla-milkshake-destroyer stared at her incredulously. "What are you saying-nodayo?"
Kuroko looked up and widened her eyes in surprise when she noticed vanilla-milkshake-destroyer was actually one of the guys on yesterday. What is this? Fate? Why do I keep bumping into them? "I'm sorry but I must go." She scurried away from the man.
"Wait." He grabbed Kuroko's delicate arms and examined her. "You're the girl from yesterday." He stated, slowly letting go the bluenette's arms and fixed his glasses. "I'm Midorima Shintaro from second year. That would make me your senior. Anyway, I'm here to ask you some questions—"
Kuroko was gone.
"Where did she go nanodayo?" He huffed grumpily, folding his arms. "Hmph, it's not like I care about her or anything." But Akashi said. . . "Gotta call Takao for help."
"Midorimacchi!" Kise shouted.
…
'Blueness doth express trueness'
'When white and red fight, pink is always the winner'
Kuroko strolled down the hall. Sometimes her misdirection can be quite useful for escaping people. She was grateful for that. Though she wondered why those people from yesterday were chasing her. It's not like she did anything to them except for, well, the man named Akashi.
"Huh, I'm only on my third day and havoc happens." Kuroko talked to herself, walking motionlessly. But really, the man named Akashi was way too similar to him. Kuroko was debating in between to tell Kagami or not. Kagami was her friend since high school after all. She trusted him. But he can be very overprotective sometimes that made Kuroko annoyed.
"You need to study more." Kuroko looked at her surrounding searching for the owner of the voice. If she was not mistaken, that voice belongs to Momoi Satsuki. "You can't fail this semester again."
"I know I know." A gruff voice answered. That was Aomine's voice. She was one hundred and one percent sure about that. Finally, she spotted the two walking at Hall 2. Kuroko shuffled toward them, deciding to join in.
"Good morning Aomine-kun, Momoi-san." Kuroko greeted, standing between the two. Aomine half-shrieked, "Whatt? Tetsu?!" He clutched his heart. "Really. Please don't ever do that again. I'm too young to die."
Momoi accidentally let go all of her books that was in her hands. "You really scared me sometimes Kuroko-san." Momoi pouted, gathering her books back.
"I'm sorry." Kuroko said restraining a chuckle. "I didn't mean to do that." Scaring people was now one of her favorite things to do.
"You looked like you're having fun right now." Aomine exclaimed. "Anyway, what are you doing Tetsu? You look tired."
"Yeah what did you do Kuroko-san?" Momoi chirped, smiling at her. "Your hair is messy."
Kuroko tilted her head. "Nothing." She lied. "I just bought vanilla milkshake from Maji Burger."
"You still like those things? Seriously Tetsu, for your own good, please restrain yourself from drinking it too much. It's not good for your health." Aomine advised. "You're gonna get yourself sick."
"But it's delicious." Kuroko tried to reason. "Vanilla milkshake is like my drugs. I can't stop drinking it. One vanilla per day or I'll die."
Aomine rolled his eyes, "You're exaggerating Tetsu."
Momoi laughed at her joke. But Kuroko was not joking. "You're weird Kuroko-san."
"I'm not joking." Kuroko exclaimed, scrunching her eyebrows together. Why can't everyone understand that vanilla milkshake is good?
She glanced at her watch. She had fifteen minutes left before calc started. Kuroko made her leave and excused herself. "I need to go to my class now. Bye Aomine-kun, Momoi-san."
Momoi waved her hands simultaneously. Kuroko waved back before walking toward her class.
"Aominecchi!"
…
'Red is the color of life, passion, determination but last but not least; Red is the color of LOVE'
Kuroko made herself her way to the elevator. Her calc was having in Room 31 on thirteenth floor. She pushed the up button and waited patiently. The door opened and Kuroko stepped inside, punching the thirteenth floor number.
Apparently she was the only one on the elevator. Somehow, she had a bad feeling about this. Kuroko took out her calc notebook just in case. She pulled out her teal headband and fixed it. It had been messy after Kise and Murasakibara chased her. Suddenly the elevator stopped. Kuroko looked at the screen. Forth floor. The door opened and Kuroko shifted her eyes to the door. Some one was coming. Kuroko took a deep breath.
Flaming red hair,
Heterochromatic eyes that were focusing on the book,
It's him.
Immediately Kuroko covered her face with her calc notebook, panicked. She hoped that he didn't notice her presence in the elevator. 'Oh God, please help me pass through this person' Seriously, she just had to be in the same elevator as him. Fate was definitely was playing with her. She was sure of that now.
Kuroko watched as she saw Akashi punched the fifteenth floor and then continued reading back the book he was holding. Kuroko almost forgot that he was already in his second year. It seemed that Akashi did not notice her yet. Usually she does not like her misdirection because it made her look like as if she was a ghost. But right then, she was thankful that she had it.
Akashi was standing right in front of the door, and she wondered on how to get out. She can't possibly push him can she? After what happened yesterday, Kuroko was way too short of self-defense.
'I need to learn taekwondo after this' she accidentally whispered, much too loud. Kuroko mentally slapped her face for saying it out loud. She quickly closed her eyes. She could hear footsteps came near her and Kuroko shut her eyes tighter with her calc book covering her face. God, she can't escape in here!
"You . . ."
To tell you the truth, Akashi was shocked when he heard someone mumbled at the back. It was only then did it occur to him that there was another person inside the elevator aside him. He turned his body at the back and sighted a certain bluenette who failed at attempt of hiding herself.
'Checkmate.' He smirked, walking toward Kuroko. He took Kuroko's book away from her face and examined her features. She had a doll-like face and kissable lips that can allured anyone. "Open your eyes." Akashi ordered and pinned her at the elevator.
Kuroko was scared, but she showed no reaction. She obliged his demand and slowly—slowly—opened her eyes. Teal met heterochromatic ones. Akashi leaned forward, making the bluenette went wide-eyed. She cuffed her mouth just in case Akashi wanted to kiss her. But she was wrong, he leaned forward right next to her ears. They were in awkward position, needless to say.
"Tetsu was it?" Akashi spoke, his voice cold as usual. "freshman? I just want to say that I'm so—"
And the door was opened. It was tenth floor.
Akashi abruptly stopped and glared to see the person who dared to interrupt him. A brunette girl and a boy, standing in front of the elevator, gaping at the scandalous sighted in the elevator. The guy held his glasses on the bridge of his nose whilst the girl quickly said, "Sorry for the interruption. Please do continue."
'No, please help me from this guy.' Kuroko thought, the tips of her ears went red.
The door closed leaving Kuroko back with Akashi. He stared back at Kuroko who was still cupping her mouth. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened yesterday and I—"
"Don't worry. It's okay, really." Kuroko cut him off. She just wanted this to end already. Akashi shook his head, "No it's not okay. Obviously you were bruised, looked at your neck." He touched her neck and Kuroko breath hitched.
"It's really. . .okay." Kuroko tried to explain but Akashi ignored her. Kuroko swatted his hands away from her neck. "Please stop doing that."
Akashi smirked viciously, "Oh? Can't I?"
The door opened now, and it was the thirteenth floor. Kuroko could be late if she didn't get out now. She gazed at Akashi with a frown on her face. "Please move aside, I need to go right now."
"And if I didn't?"
"I just need to use my force then."
"Is that a challenge?"
"Might as well be." Kuroko said, determined. She pushed him aside but not that roughly to just being pulled back by Akashi.
"Tell me your name first and I'll let you go." He offered, hand still gripping Kuroko's delicate arms.
"Just asked Aomine-kun," answered Kuroko, irritated. "You guys are friends right? No?"
"That ganguro won't tell me even if I ask. He's a rebel that needs to be punishes." The door started closing but Akashi swiftly pushed the open button preventing it from closing.
"You're a bad person if you punish innocent people like Aomine-kun." Kuroko commented.
Akashi twitched but concealed his anger. This girl. . . "Innocent? Daiki is not innocent as you think. He's a pervert and you need to stay away from him for your own good."
"I'd rather be with Aomine-kun than you." She firmly stated and just like that she pulled back her hands and stepped outside to go to her calc class.
Akashi stood there inside the elevator as it goes up and smiled. "What an interesting girl. No one tries to defy me." Then his eyes caught something on the ground. Akashi picked up and realized it was student ID card. He turned it around and studied it.
Kuroko Tetsumi
International Program in Economics and Management.
'Bingo' Akashi grinned as he kept it inside his pocket. "Beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
…
Kuroko sighed for the umpteenth time that day. To think that all of these events happened before eight thirty in the morning was wicked. Kuroko slid the door opened and saw that a few people were already there. She took a seat at the in front so that she can focus on the subject. She didn't notice two persons were seating beside her.
The lecturer came in and they proceeded to attendance. "Write your signature beside your name and give me when you guys finished it."
Kuroko wrote her signature as soon as she got it. She turned to her right and gave the piece of paper to the girl beside her but she didn't notice her for she was talking to the guy beside her. "Uhh, hello?"
The brunette shrieked when she felt Kuroko's hand on her. "Whaa? Ah! You're the girl with Akashi from the elevator!" The girl exclaimed, shocked. "Sorry for not noticing you earlier, my name is Aida Riko! And this boy beside me is Hyuuga Junpei!" she introduced with a smile on her face.
"Don't worry. I don't mind at all. My name is Kuroko Tetsumi." She shook her hand with Aida and smiled at Hyuuga.
"Hey, Kuroko, how did you get yourself with Akashi? Are you his girlfriend?" Aida asked.
Kuroko coughed. "No. We just met yesterday and it's just a mere coincidence we're in the same elevator."
"Ohh but—"she had more questions to ask but was cut when the door bang opened in a harsh manner.
"Sorry we're late-ssu!"
Kuroko couldn't widen her eyes any bigger as she recognized the voice. The lecturer sighed out of frustration. "Whatever Ryouta, Daiki. Just get to your seat. Class just got started."
Aomine huffed and saw Kuroko. "Hey Tetsu!"
"Hello Aomine-kun. Why are you here? You're on second year aren't you?"
"Heheh, I failed last semester on calc like Kise here. I haven't introduced you to him yet have I?" Aomine said. "Kise, this is Kuroko Tetsumi, Kuroko, this is—"
"I'm Kise Ryouta-ssu! Nice to meet you, Kurokocchi! Finally, I get to see your full face!" Kise said happily. Aomine rolled his eyes. "No need to shout out your name shitty Kise. Let's take a seat."
They went to the seat that was behind Kuroko. Kise bent down and whispered to Kuroko, "Have someone told you that you're beautiful?"
…
The next hour went smooth if not for Kise constantly bugging her that made her annoyed. Good thing she and Kise only shared one class and that is calc. Kuroko felt relieve when her last class, Japanese literature class ended. The student already left and she was alone, arranging her bag.
Finishing arranging her bag, Kuroko slid the door to get out just to see Akashi standing right in front of her.
"Why hello Tetsumi." And here she thought she could have a normal life in university.
To be continued.
A/N: Ahh, sorry for the OOCness Rinfanstasy! I also dont think Akashi would hurt a woman /cries in the corner. Anyway, Akashi has made his move on Kuroko. I wonder what happened in the past? /smiles evilly. I will be continuing this story! Don't worry guys!
That's it from me! Ciao~
