Chapter 3
Akashi Seijuuro is beyond piss. The right word for what he felt is livid. It's been five days since Tetsuya disappears again but this time, the phantom player disappears without a word of goodbye and he can't help but feel that there is something wrong. In Teikou days, Akashi can still remember Tetsuya's awkward way of saying goodbye.
He can still remember that those small and fragile hands were trembling when the smaller teen handed his resignation letter. He can still remember the soft yet broken tone from Tetsuya when he bid his captain good luck for the championship.
There is seriously wrong with this kind of situation and he didn't like it. He hates being put in the dark.
But then again Kuroko Tetsuya is the first person who teaches him that he can't be right all the time.
Tetsuya taught him that basketball should be enjoyed. The smaller teen taught him that winning is not everything and that he can gain much more than a mere trophy.
If he manages to find and catch the sky blue haired teen, he will make sure Tetsuya won't leave him again without a word.
Especially now that he feels something special for the smaller guy.
Five days since Kuroko Tetsuya disappears without a trace. Five fruitless days of searching and there still no sign of the phantom player.
Kise Ryota is miserable for five straight days. He barely sleeps, barely eats and barely copes up for the basketball practice and also the modeling. All he thinks for these past few days is his Kurokocchi. Yes, His Kurokocchi since in his mind, he claim Kuroko as his own and he is confident enough that one of these days, he will claim Kurokocchi for real and not only his dream.
He already admitted to himself that what he feels for Kurokocchi is love.
At first, he suspected it's only a crush and when the time pass by it would fade but it seems the more he spends time of Kurokocchi and the more he knows him, the more he feels attracted to the phantom player.
The second time, he is already aware of himself that he lusts for the sky blue haired teen. Whenever the phantom player get nears him, his body got automatically became hot and horny. There are times that he barely contains himself from jumping his ex-teammate.
The third is where he realizes that what he really feels for Kuroko Tetsuya is not a mere crush or a body that he needs to thrust because of his healthy libido. He knows that he would do anything for his Kurokocchi.
Now, All he think is find Kurokocchi, embrace him with his arms and never let go of him.
Especially when he realizes that Kuroko Tetsuya is his top priority.
Midorima Shintaro is irritated, pissed but also equally anxious. He is pissed and irritated because he got punched for no reason and worse, the person who punched him is the person he don't like the most. Kagami Taiga will pay and he will make sure that he will return the favor someday. He is anxious because of Kuroko. He would not admit it loudly but he will courageously admit it to himself that Kuroko Tetsuya is the main reason why, he is a change man.
Because of the smaller teen, he learns how important for anyone to have a partner that you can always count on. Takao always annoys him but when they are on the court, their combination isn't bad as what he suspects at first. Right now and deep down, he appreciates the effort that Takao always gives when they are on court and he also appreciates his team members even though they also annoy him.
All in all, Kuroko Tetsuya taught him how to appreciate other people.
He won't admit it to himself but Takao and the other members can clearly sees that he is miserable for these past five days.
Out of ten baskets he only shot 6, so much for his 100% accuracy.
Damn, he really needs to find a certain sky blue haired teen fast or else his accuracy will be falter and his practice shots will be doom.
For now, he will ignore his rapid beating heart.
Murasakibara Atsushi is a type of person that continues eating if there is a problem. For five days of searching for his ex-teammate along with his ex-teammates. Murasakibara may not be as observant as Akashi but he notices that every hour have passed without a sign for Kuro-chin, the people he consider as friends became miserable and very frustrated for each hour have gone by.
Kuro-chin may not be considered his close friend but he considers Kuro-chin as a teacher perhaps. Since the smallest member of the Kiseki no sedai teaches him how to love a sport.
At first, he only chooses basketball because many people ask him to try it.
And in Teikou days, Kuro-chin is the only person he talks with other kind of topics besides basketball.
He knows that Kuro-chin the type of guy who will always listen to what you've been saying even if it is a rant or a problem or some nonsense.
Hearing Kuro-chin disappears again for the second time, he can't help but feels angry.
Angry because 'Are we wrong again Kuro-chin? What have we done wrong again?'
"I wish Kuro-chin is here" he sighs while staring at the vanilla flavored candy on his hands for the last ten minutes.
Aomine Daiki isn't sure whether he would scream Tetsu's name or not but he is sure that he may not control himself for tearing someone's apart.
Five days without knowing the whereabouts of Tetsu is making Aomine's day gloomy and so depressed.
A part of him is blaming the Seirin guys and Kagami for not taking care of Tetsu but the big part of him is blaming himself for being an ass and insensitive for such time. Tetsu made him realize how arrogant he really is.
Tetsu made him fall in love basketball all over again and made him realize that there are strong players other than him. He really wish that he can go back the time when Tetsu and he are happy, he wish that he should never take Tetsu for granted and he really wish that he should make Tetsu his shadow again.
The person that he should take care had disappears again for the second time even though he promise himself that he wouldn't commit the same mistakes over again.
'What did I do again? Is it me or is it that bastard Kagami?' he thought furiously.
He felt useless and utterly defeated.
He really wishes that he told Tetsu that he loves him and that he will always care for him.
"Can I really have a second chance to be with the person I love?"
He knows that he loves Tetsu since the beginning, he loves those small and fragile fingers, loves those sky blue eyes that held so much emotion other than stoic, he loves the voice that Tetsu always uses, loves those small smiles that Tetsu always given to him if he done well and he loves Tetsu for being Tetsu.
Tetsu is a big part of him. Being with Tetsu makes Aomine Daiki whole.
Kagami Taiga didn't know what to feel whether should he be angry of Kuroko who quits basketball and didn't even consult him or should he be angry at himself for not noticing that there is something wrong with his partner. He is Kuroko's partner right? He is Kuroko's current light right? They promise each other that they will make Seirin the strongest team in Japan right?
'Why? Why would he quit? Why would he leave the sport that he loves so much? He should be happy right? Since we beat the Kiseki no Sedai..' a pair of red eyes widen at the sudden thought 'Is that it Kuroko? Now, we beat all the members of Kiseki no Sedai you quit playing because you achieve your goal. Is it really your goal? Just beat you ex-teammates?' the ace of Seirin is confused yet angry. He frustratingly ruffled his hair.
"Like hell, I'm gonna let you quit just like that" He announces it to no one. He is currently at the rooftop which he and Kuroko always take their lunch. He hates to admit it but he misses his stoic shadow. He misses Kuroko's sudden appearance.
Kuroko is the reason why he is strong, the reason why they beat the prodigies from Teikou and the reason why Seirin became the champion in the winter cup.
Seirin current status is not a joke; they reach the top since all of them give their best and trust each other that they can beat the other team.
The Seirin today looks solemn and pitiful even Kiyoshi who is always the cheerful one is depress. Kuroko's resignation of the club hits the members hard and sad.
The last five days without sign of his shadow, makes him want to break a neck or two. He promise to himself that this month won't end until he find his partner and drags his ass back in here at Seirin where he belongs.
He knows that those bastards of Kiseki no Sedai wants Kuroko and he won't just stand there and let those asses have Kuroko.
He is a competitive person and like hell, he gives Kuroko to anyone else.
Especially Kuroko chooses him to be his light.
She couldn't believe it. Her pink eyes widen when she sees the person that she and her friends have been looking for the last few days.
Hastily and with trembling hands, she reach for her cell phone and texted the people who would love and depressively want to see him.
In her sent messages.
