Sorry for typing mistakes if there is any. *bows*
"Kuroko-kun, healing time's over. Let me help you take off the bandages." Riko offered help to the teal haired boy. Kuroko nodded silently.
"Thank you, Riko-san. You're kind." Kuroko said with a blank expression. Riko smiled bitterly. She took off the bandages from Kuroko's limbs little by little.
" Is that so? Everybody said I'm strict, especially on their trainings. I want to improve their skills to get stronger. I don't have enough strength and power to fight alongside with them. I at least want to do my role properly… to help them." Riko put the used bandages on the table which had tainted with blood. Kuroko moved his limbs slowly. He stood from his seat and looked at the female angel.
"Riko-san, you are doing your best. Everyone must be appreciated of your dedication. Don't worry about it." Kuroko said. Riko felt like she was going to cry.
"Thank you Kuroko-kun… actually… you are not as cold as your looks." Riko said while staring into the grim reaper's eyes.
"Do I really look cold to you?" Kuroko touched his face softly. Riko laughed.
"Everyone thinks you're cold, or even heartless… but I guess I'm wrong." Riko sighed. Kuroko continued to stare at the angel.
"About the heartless part… I don't think you are wrong completely. We grim reapers are heartless creatures. We cannot have pity feelings towards the others. That is what Haizaki-sama said." Kuroko said with a stern voice.
"You really obey him very much, is that Haizaki's your leader?" Riko asked the teal haired boy.
"Hai. Haizaki-sama's orders are everything. Though I'm still could not understand his sudden change." Kuroko said while helping Riko to clean the bandages.
"What do you mean of the sudden change?" Riko raised her eyebrows.
"Haizaki-sama doesn't really care about the angels or devils. He just thinks all of you are bothersome and worthless to fight that long. But that's not our business so he just tells us to ignore about it. We have our jobs to do too. Then when Riko-san was trying to summon us, Haizaki-sama called me to respond for the summoning and assist you. That's why I'm here now." Kuroko answered the angel.
"That's strange…" Riko whispered. Am I really doing the right decision? Kuroko-kun's right. The grim reapers have been ignoring us ever since the fight began. We are going our own paths. Grim reaper's job is to take away dead people's soul and looks into their memories. That will not influence anything with us, or the devils. But why are they willing to help us now? I have to find out about it. Riko looked out the glass window. The sun was starting to set.
"Kuroko-kun, please take care of yourself well. I don't want you to get yourself in danger again. You are doing a reckless job." Riko looked concerned at the teal haired boy. Though they just knew each other not so long ago, Riko cared about everyone, even to the enemies.
"Don't worry Riko-san, I will be fine this time. But if I don't get to return back here… just consider my plan has failed." Kuroko deadpanned.
"What!? What will they do to you then!?" Riko shouted. Kuroko shook his head.
"I don't know. Maybe they will kill me, or eat my soul like they did to the humans."
Riko hugged the petite boy. She prayed for the God to protect the boy from harm, or anything bad to him. Grim reapers and angels didn't consider as enemies. Their relationship was neutral. Riko wanted to help this teal haired boy. She felt he was empty and hollow in his heart.
"Kuroko-kun, you can always ask me for everything. I'm here for you." Riko smiled at the petite boy. She wished he would smile back to her. "Do you have any trouble with you?" Riko continued her words. Angels could detect other people's sadness right away by their first glance. Though Kuroko hid very well from the angels with his cold looks and expressionless face, the slight sadness on the grim reaper's face could not escape from Riko's eyes.
"I don't think I have. I just felt… something missing from me… I'm not sure what is it… It seemed to be important…" Kuroko put his right hand on his chest.
"I wish you will find it sooner…" Riko said while looking out the glass window again. Night fell quickly. The moon shone ghastly in the dark sky. The moonlight which shone into the room made Kuroko's face looked paler. He really looked like a ghost now.
"I will take my leave now. Thanks for everything, Riko-san. I felt relieved after the talk with you." Kuroko said goodbye to the female angel and walked out of the room. Riko looked at Kuroko leaving the room.
"Whoever hurts Kuroko, the person will be receiving this sin forever…" Riko said with a darkened look.
Akashi gathered his fellow members for a meeting. All of them were silently standing in a hall room.
"How are all of your wounds?" Akashi asked them.
"Not a big deal. Just need a longer time than usual to heal them." Midorima answered. Kise looked very upset. Aomine was frowning. Murasakibara was casually leaning on the long table.
"Akashicchi, why didn't you tell us that Kurokocchi's a grim reaper? I thought Kurokocchi's a human! I was very shocked when he attacked us with the scythe!" Kise whined.
"It's not important to be mentioned." Akashi said calmly. Aomine stomped angrily.
"Not important!? We thought that we are going to die! This is the first time we have been badly injured. Moreover the attack was from Tetsu! Why did he want to kill us!?" Aomine could not control his anger.
"Like I said, Aomine. He is helping the ANGELS." Midorima said sternly. The blue haired devil glared furiously at the calm green haired devil.
"I'm asking for the reason! Why does he want to help those bastards!?" Aomine raised his voice.
"How should I know!? I'm not him! You should ask him yourself!" Midorima was getting impatient of Aomine.
"Quiet, both of you. Quarrelling won't help." Akashi ordered the two devils. Silent approached the room once more.
"Kurokocchi… what happened to you…" Kise lowered his head. The teal haired boy could not recognize them. The blonde devil felt disappointed and sad of that. Murasakibara kept silent in the whole conversation.
"It's up to Tetsuya to tell us about his identity. He didn't tell me either. I found out about it myself." Akashi stated.
"Eh!? I thought Akashicchi knew it because Kurokocchi told you about it!" Kise said surprised.
"Ryouta, why are you so surprised? Everyone has their own secrets." Akashi was annoyed of Kise's voice.
"But but but, Kurokocchi definitely will not keep secrets from Akashicchi!" Kise continued. Now Aomine was annoyed too. The blue haired devil smacked Kise on his head.
"Kise, you're too noisy! That's not important anymore!" Aomine shouted at the blonde devil.
"So what are we going to do now? Akashi, I don't think you would just do nothing and relax there." Midorima was serious as always.
"Of course not Shintarou. All of you, rest for tonight. We would think of a plan tomorrow." Akashi dismissed them.
"You seem troubled, aren't you Akashi?" Akashi remained in the hall room and sat silently on the coach. A new voice had joined him in the wide room.
"Nijimura-san." Akashi greeted the said person. Nijimura waved his hand.
"Hey hey, you don't really have to act that polite to me anymore. You're our leader now. It's weird to hear you talking politely to your own underlings." Nijimura protested to the red haired devil. Akashi smirked.
"You're the one who passed the leader position to me. For me, you're still a leader to us." Akashi said to the black haired devil. Nijimura sighed.
"You flattered me. Your leadership is way more impressive than mine. That's why I passed the position to you. I'm glad I have made the right decision." Nijimura eyed at their leader. The devil took a seat on a coach across the red haired devil.
"Are you thinking about that boy?" Nijimura asked the silent leader. Akashi remained silent.
"Maybe you should just forget about him." Nijimura eyed at Akashi. Akashi glared dangerously at his companion. His eyes were terrifying. Nijimura shivered.
"Don't tell me what to do. Even if it's Nijimura-san's advice, I won't listen." Akashi stated with a furious tone. The black haired devil sighed.
"I know I know… I'm just saying nonsense. You love that brat so much, I understand. Just don't stress yourself." Nijimura folded his arms. "Something is going to happen. A storm is coming…" Nijimura lifted up his head and his eyes met with the shining moon. Akashi kept silent.
"I'm going to my room now. Nijimura-san should rest too." Akashi stood up and walked towards the door. Nijimura nodded slightly.
"Have a nice rest, Akashi." Nijimura watched his companion left the room.
Sneaking back into the devil's den was easy for Kuroko. He hid himself well in the darkness. Kuroko went through the spooky forest without much effort. The devil creatures didn't notice his presence at all. The grim reaper had a very weak presence. He could hide his presence anytime he wanted. Nobody barely wanted to notice him either. His cloak was mended perfectly and he covered his teal hair with the hood. His teal eyes shone gruesomely under the moonlight.
He was back in front of the ancient looking castle. He looked around the place. All of them were in their slumber right now. Now's the perfect chance.
He didn't barge in the place through the front door this time. He passed through the garden around the castle and climbed on the outside walls of the castle. He jumped windows to windows silently and swiftly. He tried his best to remember the presence of the crimson haired devil and searched for him. The place was dead silently. Not even a soul could be sense outside the castle.
After searching for quite some time, he spotted a luxurious looking balcony. He decided to stop by that place. He landed gracefully on the balcony. Someone's inside. Kuroko sneaked in the room and hid behind the red long curtains. The teal haired boy took a peek behind the curtains and spotted the person. He was sleeping calmly on his seat, supporting his head with his hand on the table. Kuroko looked at him curiously. He was attracted by the devil's sleeping face. It was the red haired devil, the leader of the devils alright.
"He looks so innocent…" Different from humans, grim reapers had night visions' eyes. Same went for the devils and angels. Kuroko went closer to the sleeping devil's side while hiding his presence completely. He looked closer at the devil.
"He has long eyelashes…" Kuroko had the urge to touch the red haired devil but he resisted himself not to. He might wake the devil up. He came here was to assassinate him. If he woke the devil up, the plan will fail instantly. Without wasting more time, the grim reaper took out a silver knife. The knife shone dangerously by the reflection of moonlight. He stabbed the knife as fast as he could towards the sleeping devil.
"We have a sneaky cat here, huh." Kuroko was terrorized by the sudden outburst of the voice. The grim reaper tried to retreat but the next moment he was pinned on the table by a forceful strength. Crimson and gold eyes were eyeing majestically at the immobilized teal haired boy. Kuroko stared back the eyes blankly.
"Tetsuya, I didn't expect you to come back so soon. So, you planned to assassinate me in the dark? Keh, your movement are so naïve and predictable. It was a close call though. I will give you my praise for now." Akashi smirked in the darkness.
"How do you notice me?" Kuroko asked the red haired devil who was pinning him firmly on the table. The silver knife fell off from his hands and it was dropped on the cold stone floor. Nobody will notice him when he hid his presence well, even Haizaki. The leader of the grim reaper would always get scared by the sudden appear of the petite boy.
"Of course I do, Tetsuya. You can't get away from me. Not from my eyes." Akashi narrowed his eyes. The boy below him did not get scared or frightened. The expression mask was still on the boy's face. Akashi smirked. That's my Tetsuya. The only person who could fight back my will.
"Unfortunate for you, Tetsuya. Your plan failed." Akashi said. His eyes softened while looking at the teal haired boy beneath him. "I miss you so much, my dear Tetsuya."
Kuroko stiffened a bit. He tried to struggled himself free from the grip, but it was a useless effort. The red haired devil was way more stronger than him. He hissed softly at the devil. "Kill me." Kuroko didn't want to get threatened by the devils. Death was the solution. Akashi raised his eyebrows.
"Oh my, Tetsuya. I will not do that. Not in my life." Akashi took off the hood on Kuroko's head and leaned closer towards the grim reaper. Their faces were so close, even Kuroko could feel the warm breath from the devil on his soft lips. Akashi stared lovingly at the teal blue eyes. He leaned his face on the boy's soft teal hair. He tried to feel the softness of the hair.
"You smell nice, Tetsuya. The smell I loved madly. I wonder if your lips still tasted the same… or not."
Kuroko was shocked of the statement. Before he could move his face away on time, Akashi had slammed his lips on Kuroko's soft one. The kiss was harsh and forceful, but Kuroko could feel otherwise. The kiss was passionate. Akashi leaned closer to deepen the kiss. Kuroko froze at his spot and closed his eyes firmly. He couldn't believe the devil would kiss him in this situation, despite the grim reaper wanted to kill the devil just a few minutes ago. Akashi licked the teal haired boy's pink lips and Kuroko moaned softly in the kiss. Kuroko's face got heated by the kiss and he couldn't resist it. Akashi licked Kuroko's lips again and this time he asked for entrance.
Kuroko knew what the devil wanted to do the next step. He wouldn't let him do what he wished. He shut his mouth firmly and moved his face away from the devil. Akashi smirked cunningly. The red haired devil moved down and kissed the bluenette's soft neck. Kuroko felt heated more by the contact. He still stubbornly stayed at his position. Akashi planted butterfly kisses on Kuroko's neck and started to lick on the pale skin. A moan released from the teal haired boy's lips.
"You know what, Tetsuya. Your voice aroused me. I'm not myself anymore." Akashi whispered at Kuroko's ear. Kuroko shivered of the warm breath on his ear. While Kuroko was moaning with pleasure, Akashi took the chance to slip his tongue into Kuroko's mouth and began to devour the sweet scene inside the mouth.
Kuroko felt dizzy and his mind was melting from the kiss. Akashi's hands did not grip on his anymore but the kiss had made Kuroko weak to push away the red haired devil. One of Akashi's arms had put around the boy's waist and the other hand caressing his face softly.
Kuroko's body moved by his own. His ringed his arms around Akashi's neck and continued the kiss with the devil. Akashi grinned victoriously in the kiss. Kuroko couldn't think of anything anymore. He just wanted to enjoy the kiss now. He couldn't resist the devil's touch and contact with him.
After a long period of kissing, they finally parted away. Akashi looked at the teal haired boy in front of him while hugging the petite boy, smirking. Both of them panted heavily for air. Kuroko released his arms from the devil's neck and leaned his body against Akashi's.
When Kuroko was backed from his senses, he realized what he had done. He blushed madly and furiously. He pushed away Akashi harshly and hastily picked up the silver knife he had dropped from his hold and pointed it towards the devil. Akashi walked towards the bluenette.
"Don't come near me." Kuroko hissed. He glared at the red haired devil. He really wanted to kill this shameless devil now. "Why did you…do that to me? I'm your enemy!" Kuroko couldn't hide his anger in his tone.
"Because I love you." The answer was very straight forward. Akashi looked seriously at the totally confused bluenette.
"Because I love you." A voice echoed in Kuroko's mind. Why did it sound so familiar? Kuroko shook off that thought and glared at the devil.
"I only met you twice. And we barely even talked much for those times." Kuroko eyed the devil in front of him, still pointing the knife towards him. Akashi chuckled.
"Oh? Then just consider it is a 'love at first sight'." Akashi stated.
"I don't believe that." Kuroko deadpanned.
"You're still the stubborn Tetsuya." Akashi chuckled softly.
Kuroko tried to summon his death scythe out but it didn't appear. Kuroko looked at his hands and looked troubled. Seeing this, Akashi sighed.
"It's useless, Tetsuya. You can't use your scythe here anymore for the time being."
Kuroko kept silent. He was slightly panicking. Kuroko tried to keep himself calm and stared at the devil with his poker face. Akashi smirked.
"What did you do?" Kuroko said with an unconcerned look. Akashi's heterochromatic eyes stared mockingly at the teal haired boy.
"You had stepped in my trap, as I planned. You cannot escape now, Tetsuya." Akashi's eyes gleamed under the sinister moonlight.
Done!
I'm going on a hiatus for a week so I will update the next chapter on next Friday, if I managed to do it T.T
