Twilight: Dawn Breaks ( Part Two )


A certain redhead was quietly sitting on the school cafeteria, even though he already have his ordered food, he haven't touch even a bit of it. He seems to be thinking something, deep, that he didn't even to bother reprimanding the other people sitting with him that kept on bantering with one another. But the bantering, little by little, were beginning to cease as they noticed the redhead's behavior, making them worry.

The person who was sitting next to him, whose name is Mibuchi, called out to the redhead. "Sei-chan?"

The redhead seem to heard his name being called, snapping him out of hid deep thoughts, and look at his side to face his fellow student and teammate. "Yes? What is it?"

Two other more persons, name Nebuya and Hayama, looked at each other for a moment before looking at the redhead.

"You seem to be spacing out for awhile now, Akashi" Hayama said as he looks straight at his captain.

"Yeah, is something the matter?" Nebuya asked.

Akashi blinked. "Ahh... It's nothing much" He responded.

"You sure, Sei-chan?" Mibuchi pressed on.

Akashi sighed. "Yes. I've just been thinking alot. I'm sorry if I made you worry" He apologized with a smile.

"... I see" Mibuchi relucantly said. "But if you're not feeling well, you should go straight to the nurse's office, alright?"

Akashi nodded. "Yes, thank you" He then begun to eat his lunch.

The three looked at each other for a moment before looking back at the redhead, who was now quietly finishing his lunch, in concern before they resumed eating their lunch slowly.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

After finishing lunch, Akashi bid farewell to his teammates then made his was to the hallway to go back to his classroom. He knew that he's making his teammates worry but he can't helped it. He's been getting a weird feeling since this morning, a feeling that he can't seem to remove or shake off. Of course everyone sometimes gets nervous or anxious and worried at some things, even him. But the feeling that scrawled up to him was unimaginable... It's as if an unthinkable event will happen and whatever it is, it's making the redhead uncomfortable.

He now thinks that he's now losing it. Because he was so lost in his deep thoughts that he jolted a little when he heard his phone ringing. He fought the urge to curse out of nowhere. It's a good thing that no one else seems to be walking in the same hallway he's currently in. He tooked a deep breath before fishing out his phone from his pocket and looked at the caller's ID. Upon seeing who it is, he was thinking if he should punish the caller for surprising him.

He sighed before he pressed at the green button. "Kise"

"Ah, Akashicchi!" A enthusiastic voice greeted him.

"What is it, Kise? Lunch is almost over and classes will be starting soon" Akashi stated.

"Yeah, I know and I'm sorry... But it's just that..." Kise begun but trailed off.

"But what?" Akashi asked, he was getting a little concerned as he notice that the blonde's voice seems to be getting quiet.

"I wanted to ask you this earlier but I thought your class might have already started..." Kise reasoned.

Akashi sighed. "And what is it that you want to ask, Kise?" He asked as he resumed walking.

"..."

"Kise?" Akashi called out when he noticed that the other wasn't replying.

"Well... It's about..." Kise, once again, trailed off.

"About?"

"... Kurokocchi"

The familiar name was enough to make Akashi stopped dead on his tracks.

.

.

.

"Akashicchi?" Now it was Kise's turn to call out, as he noticed that his former captain became quiet.

Akashi remained rooted to his spot.

Was that it? Was that the one? The reason why he's been getting the weird feeling?

.

.

.

"Are you there?"

Akashi wasn't sure now... Everything about Kuroko is still a mystery, even for him. But... If the weird feeling he's been getting concerns the phantom player... Then.
.

.

.

"Akas—"

"What about Kuroko?" Akashi finally spoked.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

"You what!?" Kasamatsu nearly shouted. He called to his former teammate to learn how they were doing. And now, he nearly shouted at his phone as he hears a certain blonde's story about his recent conversation with his friend.

Kise jolted as he hears his former captain's disbelief voice. "I-it's just like what I said, Kasamatsu-senpai" He replied, fidgeting at the chair he's currently sitting on.

Kasamatsu resist the urge to face palmed. "And why would you ask him that?"

"I-I got curious, senpai!" Kise reasoned.

"First off, I am not your senpai anymore and second... That's not a reason!" Kasamatsu reprimand.

Kise begin to sobbed. "I'm sorry, senpai!"

"I said i'm not your senpai anymore! Stop calling me that! And stop crying over nothing!" Kasamatsu scolded.

"Senpai is senpai" Kise flatly said.

Kasamatsu fought to urge to bang his head at a nearby wall. He sighed. "Why don't you ask the person himself and not some other people instead?" He asked.

"B-but... I don't think Kurokocchi would even tell me!" Kise whined. "He only talk about his childhood friend Ogiwara Shigehiro... Nothing more..."

Kasamatsu can imagine the sad face plastered in the blonde's face. He sigh in exaggeration. "I know you're curious about knowing more about him but let me warn you," He begun.

Kise could feel the seriousness in his former captain's voice, sending chills to his spine.

"Curiousity kills a cat, Kise" Kasamatsu continued. "You'll never know when the dawn will break upon you"

Kise can imagine the narrowing eyes of his former captain as he listen to his words, making him froze stiff.

Kasamatsu ignore the sudden silence and continued. "Just be careful... You'll never know what lies upon just because of your pure curiousness" But truth be tell, his curiousness is getting into him also. "There's more than it meets the eyes... Or so they say" He added.

Kise silently listen to his former captain's statement.

Kasamatsu let out another sigh. "I have to go now, Kise" He said, ending the call but not before muttering. "... Be careful"

A beeping sound could be heard by the blonde's phone. Signifying that his former captain ended the call.

Kise stayed frozen to his spot. Processing each words that his former captain said to him.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

"Shin-chan" A raven head called out to his friend.

But his friend didn't seem to heard him and remained quiet at his sit.

"Shin-chan" The raven head called out again.

No reply.

"Shin-chan!" He tried again.

Still no reply.

"Oi! Shin-chan!" This he called out a little loud and also put his hand on top of his friend's shoulder.

His friend seemed to have snapped out of his thoughts as he watch him look up to him.

"What is it, Takao?" His friend, name Midorima, asked.

"I've been calling out to you!" Takao said, pouting a little. "You seem to be spacing out. Is something wrong?" He asked.

Midorima blinked, momentary looking at his hand where a phone is resting, before looking back at his classmate. "It's nothing, Takao" He replied.

Takao eyed him suspiciously. "This nothing made Shin-chan space out" He saw his friend fidget and watch as his hand gripped his phone. "So it is something"

Midorima glared at his classmate.

Takao, unfazed, stared at his friend before eyeing the phone. "Did someone threathened you or something?"

Midorima almost choked. "Of course none!" He answered.

Takao grinned. "So?"

Midorima once again glared at his classmate before letting out a sigh. "Just... Kise sending me a weird message"

"Weird message?" Takao asked; tilting his head to the side. "What kind of weird message would Kise send to make you space out?"

"..." Midorima didn't answered and remain quiet.

Takao frowned. "Shin-chan!"

Midorima sighed. "... Kuroko" He said relucantly.

"Tet-chan?" Takao blinked in confusion.

Midorima was about to say it when he saw their subject teacher enter the room. He sighed before looking at his classmate. "I'll tell you later"

Takao saw the teacher came in. He blinked as he looks at his friend before nodding in understanding. He then returned to his sit and didn't ask anymore for he will learn about it when class ended.


Back to the present


Few weeks after Kise's sudden topic, the generation of miracles tried to comfront their phantom player but sometimes it'll all go wrong because of many sudden interruptions.

They would hang out with one another when weekends came, sometimes their teammates will also tag along and hang out with them but over all, it was pretty fun being with everyone. Even Akashi will come all they way from Kyoto to be with his former teammates, sometimes he comes with his current teammates tagging along. Like Akashi, Murasakibara will also come all the way from Akita to hang out with his former teammates, often coming with his partner, Himuro Tatsuya, Kagami is always please to see his brother. Murasakibara would also bring snacks and candies to share with everyone.

Then, after some few more weeks get together with everyone, one of them would converse a topic about their family or parents, in hopes that the phantom would also share his, but to their dissapointment, the teal head would either keep quiet or walk away and often sit beside his partner, Kagami Taiga, whose often talking with his brother, Himuro Tatsuya.

They keep seeing the phantom so the same thing whenever the family or parents topic will emerge, making them curious and suspicious as to why the phantom would try to escape or avoid getting into the topic. One day, when they were having a picnic, Momoi, unintentionally, bomb the phantom with questions about his parents, since she haven't met one of the teal head's parents or family members at all. The teal head suddenly frozed stiff and stopped mid way on eating his food, he didn't move an inch for few seconds before his hand, which was holding the food, slowly land down to his lap. His eyes were being covered by his bangs, so everyone don't know what expression the teal head was making, though they were sure that the teal head's expression will remain blank, they assume that the Akashi would be able to tell.

They all remained silent, the atmosphere surrounding them became heavy and unbearable as they all wait for the phantom's answer. Momoi, who is oblivious of the situation tried to call out to the teal head but didn't get any response. Not before Kagami suddenly wacked the phantom in the head, surprising everyone. The teal head was also surprise by his partner's action and looked up to the dark redhead with confused look. Kagami only scoffed and said that he should resumed eating his current food. The teal head was confused at first before complying and resumed eating.

After few failed attempt, they tried to confront the teal head, but everytime they try to left the group to be along with the phantom, seirin's ace, Kagami Taiga would always come and take the teal head away from them, making them all suspicious about the dark redhead's actions. They also tried talking to the phantom's team about his sudden behavior whenever the word family or parents comes up but all they get are silence. One time, seirin's captain, Hyuuga Junpei, told them to ask the teal head himself, but he also add that if the teal head didn't answered then they shouldn't press more since it ruins the atmosphere or the mood of the phantom.

The generation of miracle's teammates like Takao Kazunari, Himuro Tatsuya and Imayoshi Shoichi also learned about their attempt to knowing more about them phantom and also got curious. Takao learned about it when he asked Midorima after Kise messaged him about the teal head. Midorima told him about it after class ended which made Takao confused at first since he knows that the gom have been with the teal head ever since middle school. Himuro learned it from Murasakibara after he heard his partner murmured something about his brother's partner. He asked Murasakibara later on and learned that they don't know much about the teal head, Murasakibara asked him if he could ask his brother in hopes that maybe he could ask the teal head himself or even knows some. But when he called to his brother and conversed about it, his brother became silent for few minutes before stating that he doesn't know and asked him not to ask him that since he, also, tried asking the teal head about one time but only got an unreadable expression in return. Imayoshi get to learned it when he bumped into Aomine by the street one time where Aomine, unintentionally, suddenly said that they were trying to make the phantom open up to them. Imayoshi got curious and questioned Aomine, making the latter nervous and mentally scolded himself for stating it without a second thought.

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

Akashi was absentmindly staring outside of his window, gazing at the, seem to be, beautiful night sky. He let the night breeze lightly slapped his face as he looks at the pale moon. Few months have passed since they tried pursuing and attempting to make the phantom talk about his parents to know, to learn more about the teal head. Seriously, when it comes to the phantom, Akashi can't keep his guard down, always have to be observant, sharp. The phantom title really suit the teal head... He was mysterious since the day they met, until now, he still remain mysterious, as if you won't be able to seek what you are looking for whenever you face him. Akashi can't help but let out a deep sigh, he can't believe this is happening... The feeling he's getting is something akin to... Lost. And it's all because of one Kuroko Tetsuya.

He let out a chuckle. "I can't believe i'm feeling despicable..." He murmured as his gaze remain looking at the moon.

Suddenly a bright shooting star was seen across the night sky.

Akashi blinked before letting out another sigh. He got up from his sit and head out to his bed. "I don't really believe in wishes and such but..." He muttered before looking at the window, which was now closed but the night sky can be seen through the glasses. "... If it'll grant what I desire to know then..." His eyes lids slowly closed, his conciousness slowly faded but not only he murmured some few words.

"I wish to seek Kuroko Tetsuya's past... memories"

+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+

Unbeknownst to him, a few more people also made the same wish, said the same words and saw the same bright shooting star they saw in the beautiful night sky.

And unknown to them, even those who are sleeping peacefully... Their lives were about to change, entirely.
