A/N: Well it looks like you wanted to read the next chapter already so here it is. Anyway, a little side note about the thread of life/fate is that anything I put here is based on my imagination and might not follow the actual myth so don't get your hopes up. Thanks for all the support and reviews :)

WARNING: Language

More notes at the end of chapter.


"Lachesis? Who the hell is Lachesis?" Aomine said (more like demanded) as the 'nurse' with pitch black hair and hazel eyes in front of him changed and had an appearance of a lady with blue eyes, white hair with streaks of light blonde, but she still kept the nurse outfit though. She radiated elegance, which contradicted her previous actions earlier.

Lachesis raised her right eyebrow. "Uhh.. Me? Are you a moron? I did introduced myself didn't I?"

"No.. What he meant is, 'what are you?'" Kise said, clarifying the tanned guy's question. "Oh wait, maybe we're just dreaming. Aominecchi pinch me."

The tanned guy stared at the loud yellow-haired guy for a second before rolling his eyes and punching Kise in his shoulder.

"OUCH! AOMINECCHI WHY DID YOU PUNCH ME?!"

"WHAT?! YOU SAID IT RIGHT?!"

"I SAID 'PINCH' NOT 'PUNCH'!"

"I DON'T CARE!"

"IT HURTS YOU KNOW- Wait, if I'm hurt so it means... you're true?"

The nurse nodded.

"So.. Kurokocchi and Akashicchi.." Kise slumped down, sitting on the floor with a downcast expression, his bed upside down behind him. Now that he thought of it, the infirmary is pretty big, but he thought maybe because of the amount of students enrolled in Teiko. Also, it's not what he's worried about. If the lady called Lachesis who transformed in front of him is true, then Akashi being a girl and Kuroko being a guy did happened. "But who are you really?"

The supernatural being sighed and crossed her arms, but she didn't speak because she knew Midorima will already cover up for her. And as she predicted, the green-haired guy talked on cue.

"Lachesis is one of the three sister deities, the daughters of Zeus and Themis in Greek Mythology. They are called Moirai or 'Fate', because each sister is tasked what to do about a person's fate, or they prefer to call it 'thread of life'." Midorima explained. "Lachesis is the most powerful because she decides how long a person lives and what would happen to his or her life. The decider of someone's destiny. They are often described as ugly and strict, so I didn't expect her to be this.. young-looking, I apologize." He said the last word while looking down and adjusting his eyeglasses, his forest-colored irises hidden by the reflection of light.

"Ah, but that is within my prediction." Lachesis said with a smile. "I rarely show my true form, the one you're seeing right now, to other people especially those bastards the mortals call gods. My father is worried that me and my sisters might snatch away Aphrodite's title. I'm not welcome about it either. I don't want any guys flocking around me." She said, letting the four guys hear a 'tsk' from her as her smile vanished.

"So why are you here anyway~?" Murasakibara said, wanting to be distracted about the fact that he doesn't have any snacks with him.

Kise nodded in agreement. "Yeah! You could have just sent your sisters! Wait, what does your sisters do again?"

Lachesis resisted the urge to make Kise fly to the other side of the school while breaking the walls in the process. "You're amusing, but annoying."

"So mean -ssu!"

Midorima sighed and shook his head. "His sister Clotho weaves the thread of life, and Atropos cuts it, which means death."

The deity hummed in agreement. "I can just send Atropos here and just cut you off but Clotho's too.. entertained by the likes of you." She said, disappointment lacing in her voice. "Now she weaved a particularly long thread for you and I already determined your fate. However.. in these past few months I'm seeing something I shouldn't see."

"And that is?" Aomine said.

Lachesis narrowed her eyes. "You're defying your own fate."

The sentence made an echo around the room, loud enough to make Midorima cringe. He had sensitive ears and he's sure Lachesis knew that, but he think she's just ignoring it. Also, even if it is loud, he's sure that no one hears it outside the clinic.

"For months now, I've seen you idiots defying your fates and altering Akashi Seijuurou and Kuroko Tetsumi's." Lachesis said, ignoring Aomine's scowl for calling them idiots, and the last phrase. "A lot of people actually have willpower to change their fates and I don't usually complain because it is entertaining. But sometimes, annoying ones just like this, I interfere and do what I need to do, regardless of the circumstances."

"What do you mean by altering Akashi and Tetsu's fates?" The indigo-haired male questioned.

Lachesis took a silent deep breath before answering. "They're supposed to fall in love, not fall apart."

Collective gasps were heard inside the infirmary. They can't believe it, especially Kise, who dreamt of Akashi as a flower girl and not as the groom. Those two? Falling in love with each other? Wow. Great! They wouldn't be surprised if the next thing that will happen is Haizaki dancing Carameldansen and horses will grow fish tails and take refuge to the desert with snakes as breakfast. Incredulous, but so is the thought of Akashi and Kuroko being together.

"I can't let you alter like I freaking used to because their threads are severing bit by bit and the threads of other people connecting to them are slowly being cut off or moved in an inconsiderate distance. Their threads of life are damaged severely." Lachesis explained. "That's why I traced the path of the damage and it stopped to where your threads are tangled with them, so it means you're the reason."

"Sorry lady but I can't see my role in the damage part." Murasakibara said lazily.

Midorima widened his eyes. "Feelings.." Their feelings for Kuroko Tetsumi. Of course. "So the change.. is that because of the damage you're talking about?"

"No. Made them myself." Lachesis answered proudly. "I changed them a little bit after finding a parallel part of their threads with only a little damage. It is to prevent more other annoying events from happening." She said, pulling a stray chair near her and sat down. And before Aomine could even peek she immediately crossed her legs.

"So.. is there any way we could fix it?" Kise said, slightly trembling after hearing the 'damage' part.

The blonde goddess smirked. "That's why I'm here, bitches." She snapped her fingers and the four GoM found themselves sitting in their respective beds, but they can't move. "I can't fix it myself since the damage is too big. I can untangle you, but your memories are too bright, and the memories are brightest and easy to imprint when you haven't reached adulthood yet. Memories are one of the biggest lifeline of the thread of life, so if I untangle them from you, it might damage yours too." She continued to explain. "I can turn you back to being kids and erase your memories but the damage on your thread can become very bad memories in the future so that's a no-"

Aomine grumbled. "Can you just get straight to the point where you say the details why swapping Akashi and Tetsu's gender are important in fixing the so-called damage?"

"Aomine!" Midorima scolded, but was followed by Lachesis' laugh.

"I'm getting over there you stupid thickhead idiot now shut the Underworld up!" Lachesis said with a pissed expression which is the opposite of what her empty laugh conveyed earlier. She immediately calmed though. "So I was saying, I'm giving you a mission to fix this."

"Huh?" The four GoM members chorused. "What mission?"

"Simple." Lachesis showed a smirk. "Make Akashi Seira and Kuroko Tetsuya fall in love with each other."

Loading.. 0.1%

5%

43%-

"Don't you get it?!" The goddess shouted with an impatient expression which immediately boosted the loading of GoM's brains to 100%

"HUH?! MAKE THEM FALL IN LOVE?!" Aomine took the turn to shout. "Akashi is NOT capable of loving someone!"

"He is you moron."

Kise frowned. "But-"

"No buts!" Lachesis shut him and other protestants off. She widened her eyes for a moment and looked at the wall clocked before letting out a 'tsk'. "I've been out here for so long so I'll tell you everything now. Atropos is bugging me. Apparently an 'angel hunter' is trying to do something I won't very much like."

The four members of Teiko basketball team fell silent, intending to listen to every word she'll say.

"I altered everyone, except yours, their memories regarding Akashi Seijuurou and Kuroko Tetsumi. I even altered their own memories of themselves, as you can see, so now they are known as Akashi Seira and Kuroko Tetsuya." The blonde deity explained. "If you idiots want everything to return back to normal, just make them fall in love with each other. But the way their threads were damaged, I'd say you only had five months to do it."

"Easy to say it that doing it." Aomine muttered. Midorima was sure Lachesis heard that but she didn't showed any signs that she did.

Kise looked worried. Five months more and it will be the end of their third year. They'll be senior high schoolers after that.

"This mission is a secret, so don't tell anyone. Especially Akashi and Kuroko or the thread will be severed and they will commit suicide, which is bad for us." Lachesis added. "If you want to, just ask me first. If you won't listen to me, I'll personally lend Atropos' shears and cut you off myself. Y'all are already defying your fate, don't dare defy me too."

Murasakibara's face earned a frown, which was an unusual expression because all the time he had this lazy expression. "I may look like stupid but I know that something will happen if we didn't carry out the punishment, ne?"

"Of course." She said with a little smirk. "Well aside from Kuroko and Akashi's life threads being damaged and couldn't get their supposed life back and make the rest of their days as miserable as Underworld, your life threads will be damaged too." She explained. "Of course, not as much as they had but I don't think you would like the idea of watching them living their life in agony knowing that you caused it. Also, one more minor thing, everything won't go back to normal, but they'll remember everything."

"That's too much -ssu!" Kise finally said something, not bearing to just stay quiet while the woman in front of him spouted nonsense.

The latter frowned. "A lot of people warned you before, right? I'm sure you know that trying to defy fate has consequences."

Midorima looked down. He, of all people, knew that, being a follower of Oha-Asa and believing fate.

"But we never knew-"

"You knew." Lachesis said sternly. "You've seen the signs and you kept interfering!" She then turned to Aomine. "You ganguro knew Akashi will want to meet who's the so-called ghost of the third stringers' gym and you who already harbored admiration to Kuroko, tried everything so that they won't meet!"

"But-!"

"You bloody tsundere knew Kuroko knows how to play shogi and was afraid Akashi will try to invite him that's why you kept mum about it."

"Lachesis-!"

"You lazy asshole knew that Akashi and Kuroko both liked books so whenever Kuroko tries to attempt inviting Akashi to go to the library, you always come between and offering him help using your height!"

"You-!"

"And you annoying brat always try to hug Kuroko when Akashi approaches him." She said. "And I know that it's not just that you have been doing."

They all looked away and didn't said anything. But Midorima the sober one got over with it quickly and gazed at her. "We'll do our best."

"You should be." Lachesis warned before vanishing from their eyesight.

"Wait, I think I forgot something."

OMAKE:

Somewhere in the academy, which is probably the janitor's closet, is where the real nurse with real jet black hair and real hazel eyes, is pounding the closet's door so hard yet she still have to make cracks.

"SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!"

Somewhere along the realm though, Lachesis widened his eyes.

Clotho paused from doing her work. "Lachesis?"

"I FORGOT THE NURSE!"


Fun facts:

- The 'angel hunter' Lachesis is talking about is Castiel from the TV series Supernatural.

- I also altered some canon facts because the GoM's bond with Kuroko is essential to help them a bit. The altered ones are [1]Aomine still accepts Kuroko's fistbump but is working alone [2]Akashi still won the fight against Murasakibara but Bokushi stood the offer of Oreshi (No one is allowed to skip). Their training menu is just lighter because of their abilities. It's still tough though.

A/N: I'm sorry this took so long! I was busy with my life and honestly I was concentrating on Remember. I decided to put Time Machine on hiatus for now until I have my ideas again. Also it'll help me focus more here and Remember.

If you think that their genders are the only thing that got swapped... hmm.. *evil smirk*

So thank you and please leave a review. They are appreciated.
