Hello again! First of all, I'm sorry for the long wait. I hope I can deliver comedy in this chapter too, and how much I love it when I saw favourites and reviews. The fact that you guys were enjoying this story. I'm truly happy! *wipes of tears*
Disclaimer: This is a rip-off from Dungeons and Dragons game (maybe?), and Left 4 Dead, and Kuroko no Basket.
"The mutant spider comes crashing on the ground with a loud boom. Dusts flew everywhere, filling the rows of tunnel with nothing but haze. Mission one, completed," said Kuroko, briefly explaining the dying scene of the first boss. It was beautifully ended by none other than…
…Akashi's joke.
"Go, Akashi! End his life!" shouted Aomine at the side.
"Just another 3,000!"
"Since this is a final attack, I'm gonna use my trump card," said Akashi with a smile. The others were silent, each one of them anticipating Ankle Break-like attack, or Emperor Eye move.
Suddenly he asked, "Where does Pharaoh go when he's sad?" His hands grabbed the dice and threw it onto the eyes glared at the people in his group, his red eyes released a menacing aura.
"His 'mummy'."
The dice revealed 10,000.
Silence swept across the group.
S-should they laugh?
The participants were still baffled by the sudden attack of joke from Akashi. It didn't just made a critical hit to the boss, but it gave them an overkill too.
They decided to take ten minutes rest after the long and arduous journey. After buying lunch from Maji Burger, Kuroko, Kasamatsu and Momoi walked back to the spot where they all hung out lazily. Kise implored to tag along, but Momoi strongly disagree because he would attract too much attention and hence, slowing the process down. Therefore, he sent Kasamatsu so that he could help carry the foods for Kagami. Inside Momoi's head, she was bawling like a baby. She just wanted to have some time alone with Kuroko.
From the open space in the park, the rest decided to move underneath the shades of trees beside the former venue. They were also hiding Kise from being apparent to his fans; The park was flooded with people all of a sudden. Maybe the concert nearby had ended. Murasakibara and Himuro were sitting beside Akashi, each of them were concerned with the Rakuzan's captain who seemed so defeated. His joke attack was powerful, but yet it didn't manage to squeeze out a laughter from them. Not even a 'pfft'.
Kuroko and his escorts had arrived. With foods.
Kagami and Aomine dived at Kuroko with all their might, like a zombie who just found a fresh brain. (Ironic, I know) On the other hand, Kise went straight to Kuroko and Momoi to lift off the weights in their hand, which later earned a "Don't you try to act like a gentleman, blondie," from Aomine. Kise only whined. "I was only being nice!"
"I can understand Satsuki, but why Tetsu too?"
"Because Kurokocchi is fragile, I need to take care of him!"
"Somehow I'm a bit offended, Kise-kun." The blue-haired boy glared daggers at Kise.
"Ehh? I-I don't mean it that way, Kurokocchi…" T_T
Kuroko drifted away from Kise towards Himuro, Akashi and Murasakibara to hand them their share of food, and afterwards Midorima and Takao. After each of them had burgers and drinks in their hands, they started eating lunch with much delight. While they were busy filling in their stomach with a focus even deeper than Second Zone, Kuroko nibbled his burger slowly. His gaze was fixed at the scenery in front of him.
All of his precious friends were here, enjoying their time together. If only Ogiwara is here, he thought to himself. His lips formed a smile. The burger in his hands were long forgotten. He wasn't that hungry anyway.
"That reminds me," spoke Momoi while sitting beside Kuroko, "Tetsu-kun, where's #2?"
Kuroko swallowed the burger in his mouth and replied, "my grandma is watching over him. She said I should have fun with my friends today rather than keeping myself busy with him." He sipped his vanilla milkshake. "I did try to sneak him out together with me though, but she got eyes like Takao-kun," he sweatdropped. His pale hands put the milkshake down on the grassy floor.
"Eh? Is that Kise Ryouta?"
"What? Where?"
"Under that tree!"
Suddenly a barrage of girls' noise came towards them. Curious glances were exchanged. Not the fangirls again…
"Everyone, hide Kise!" whispered Kasamatsu, but before they could execute the plan, the females had already stepped towards them with eyes of a predator. "Shit!" Kise was stepping away but stumbled upon something. He fell face-first on the ground.
"Owww!"
His toe felt cold, like something splashed on it. But he couldn't take a second glance on it now; his fans were on his tail. Although it would be more accurate to say they were after his coccyx. His hazel orbs met with sky-blue pupils.
"Kurokocchi, help me!" Quickly, he hid his big body behind Kuroko's smaller frame. Kuroko sighed. How can this ghostly appearance can help the brightly shining model?
When the fans was close enough, their eyes caught something. "Is that the phantom sixth player, Kuroko Tetsuya?"
Kuroko's eyes widen.
"Oh wow! We can actually see him!"
"Kuroko-san~!"
"Can we have your autograph please~?"
"Kuroko-kun~! I love you~!"
From chasing Kise, the females turned to Kuroko, which was so odd in everyone's point of view. Panicking, Kuroko ran out of Kise's hiding place, towards the open space in the park. The females hastily chased after him, but later lost sight of Kuroko. He was an expert in hide and seek after all.
"Kuroko had gone," said Kasamatsu as he watched the scene unfolded in front of him. Like seriously, did Kuroko just disappeared into thin air? "I swear is that kid a Youkai or something?" He rubbed his temple.
"I am a mere human being, Kasamatsu-san." A voice rang behind Kasamatsu, making him jump out of shock. His burger nearly flew out of his grasp. "Wudda-! What? Ack….HOW?!"
Kuroko stared into Kasamatsu's eyes. "How what?"
"How did you disappear like that?"
His big blue eyes stared hard at Kasamatsu, trying hard to find an answer. The others were watching intently. They were also curious on how Kuroko's misdirection worked.
"Um…" The Seirin player was quiet for a moment, before continuing his sentence, "It's kinda like this…"
In a split second, everyone's eyes couldn't find Kuroko.
"DAFUQ!"
"HE FUCKING DISAPPEARED!"
"I SWEAR HE WAS RIGHT HERE JUST NOW!"
"THAT FUCKING BRAT…!"
Just when the commotion started to heat, Kagami felt a tap on his shoulder. In front of him, baby blue locks covered his gaze. Kagami's eyes widen in shock.
"GAAAHH KUROKOOO!"
The redhead fell on his butt after Kuroko's reappearance. In front of him. Fucking in front of his eyes. The others went silent, still couldn't fathom on how the Seirin player vanished like….well, like that.
"Did you get it, Kasamatsu-san?" asked Kuroko while looking at the stunned Kasamatsu.
"Get what?!"
From the feedback he obtained from Kasamatsu, he sighed. "I guess it's not as easy as it seems," he said. Kuroko walked back to his previous sitting place to grab his milkshake, only to find…
…His milkshake had spilled.
"Oh…So it was your milkshake that I stumbled upon?" Cold sweats started to drop out of Kise's forehead. Meanwhile, Kasamatsu and Himuro were still oblivious to Kise's reaction. "What about his spilled milkshake?"
The word spilled and milkshake formed in one sentence was secretly killing Kuroko inside. Aomine, Momoi and the rest of Generation of Miracles started to back away from the crime scene, leaving Kise shivering in front of Kuroko.
"Uwaahh, K-Kurokocchi….I'm so sorry!" Kise hugged the smaller man. "I really didn't see it! I promise I'll pay you back tenfold!"
Meanwhile, Kuroko was standing still in Kise's hug, not giving any reactions from it. He simply shut down. His eyes were blank. This was what the MiraGen afraid of.
"Oh no! Atsushi, get another milkshake from Maji! Daiki, keep an eye on Ryouta, and Taiga, hold Tetsuya from doing something ridiculous! Shintarou, just…Stay out of trouble," shouted Akashi. With swift steps, Murasakibara ran to Maji Burger with some cash in hand, hoping there's no long line queuing in the restaurant. Midorima and Takao just stood at the side, standing by if Aomine or Kagami needed help later on. Kagami was still shocked by what had happened, but he ran to Kuroko's side just in case if Kuroko started to skin the blonde alive. Before he arrived beside him, Kuroko's hands moved towards Kise's feet that was spluttered with the milkshake. He quickly removed his sandal, leaving Kise's foot bare.
"My milkshake…" he muttered under his breath.
"Oy stop, Tetsu!/Kuroko!/Kurokocchi!"
Kagami hold Kuroko's torso, holding him from lunging towards Kise's feet that was covered with his sweet and cold vanilla milkshake. His mouth was already formed into a sucking machine. Takao ran over to Kise's legs and waved it away from Kuroko. "My milkshake…"
"You don't think you can suck it all off Kise's feet, right?!" exclaimed Aomine. From Kuroko's current body response, he can conclude that Kuroko did plan on sucking the leftovers. He facepalmed, still can't get used to Kuroko's unhealthy obsession with the drink.
"Wha-Help! Kuroko's gone crazy!"
"…My milkshake…" The sentence kept being uttered by Kuroko like it was a mantra. Although Kagami was holding Kuroko, he didn't realize that he was being dragged slowly towards Kuroko's target.
"Damn, he's strong!"
"Why the fuck was he so strong in this sense?!"
"Less talking, more actions! Daiki, help Taiga," ordered Akashi. Aomine moved to Kuroko's front, trying to stop him from moving forward. Meanwhile, Kise was clinging to Kasamatsu. "Senpai, in case Kuroko got away, please carry me away from him?" he asked cutely. Kasamatsu replied with a karate chop on his yellow hair. "You can run yourself, ain't you?! Run with your own feet!"
Himuro was still sitting on his spot, gaping his mouth as he watched the scene. It's as if he's watching a movie featuring the Kiseki No Sedai in it. He reached out for his drink and quietly sucked the Orange Fanta from the straw.
"Satsuki, how much longer until Atsushi comes back?" asked Akashi to Momoi that was standing beside him. His red eyes kept glancing at the two men clinging on Kuroko. They won't last long. Momoi looked over the pathway. "It should be around now." And Murasakibara's giant body appeared, with a vanilla milkshake in hand. He arrived at Kuroko and quickly put the straw in the phantom player's mouth.
Kuroko finally stopped struggling.
His hands moved to hold the drink himself, and his pupils were visible. He's back to normal.
The fighters slumped down to the ground, as if they had just escaped death. Himuro only looked at them and chuckled, "Basketball idiots…"
The game continued to mission two, which took place at the city of Tokyo itself. Zombies were spawning like wild mushrooms after rain, but now they were much stronger, considering they have eaten a good amount of junk food.
There was one time when Kise almost died because of a head knock from one of the zombies, he quickly got a 10k swat at the zombie's weak spot. And he boasted about it for the next thirty minutes. (Because after that Kasamatsu threatened him to shove his shoe into his babbling mouth if he continued talking.)
And there's also one time where Murasakibara-kun nearly died because his fairy was paralyzed. Lastly, he decided to end the zombie's life himself, with a power lent from Himuro. He tossed a maiubo at the zombie's head and Murasakibara went from a mouth-watering cake to a 4th stage Super Saiyan. Or at least that's what the zombie would think before he was eternally crushed.
There's also another occurrence where Aomine lost his basketball in a gooey slimy zombie, and his ass got saved by Kagami, who whipped a good 3000 damage and instantly kill the zombie. "You owe me a one-on-one, Aho," he smirked. Aomine only 'tch'ed at his comment.
But not long after that, Kagami was standing on thin ice, when Aomine swooped the zombie's head off with 2000 injury. "We're even now, Bakagami." Before they went to each other's throat (again), their heads met with a loud thunk. "We don't have time for your fights, Aomine-kun, Kagami-kun," warned Kuroko. And they proceed with the game.
Midorima-kun also had his time of downfall, when he nearly got his body broken in half by a mere zombling (zombie hatchling? *slapped*). It was the first time he got a MISS in the game, and he was so shocked that his glasses cracked. Takao reached for his Nokia and lifted it up above the zombie, and let it fall on it with a loud crash. Later, Midorima thanked Takao with a blush detected at a corner of his cheek.
Momoi had never shipped those two so hard before this.
Last but not least, just before they met the second boss, Akashi had owned a zombie with his knockout of Bloody Grimoire of Oxford, according to Aomine. The book itself was half as big as his palm, and Akashi's strength can even compete with Kagami's. They knew they shouldn't feel pity towards the zombie but in front of Akashi, they can't help but feel sorry for its bad luck.
Somehow, everyone feel contented that Akashi was on their side this time.
"Alright, please listen out," voiced Kuroko. The others automatically looked at him, anticipating some explanation of what's to come. "There's a big hole on the ground, in front of the door that Murasakibara-kun had pushed. In the hole, there was a loud hiss and huffs, as if something was living inside it. Smokes were rising from the hole…And suddenly…"
Before they knew it, their eyes were dilated and focused on the petite boy too much. Kuroko lifted up his gaze, only to see ten pairs of eyes were staring right into his soul. They were waiting for Kuroko to finish his sentence. Out of the blue, Kuroko's head turned away from the group, slightly blushing.
"Guys, please don't stare at me too much, it makes my heart race…"
"Finish the damn explanation!" Kuroko dodged two flying shoes coming from the enraged Aomine and Kagami.
"Fine, fine. I was just joking," he smiled. "You guys were so tense, I figured at least I should lessen the stress a bit." He softly stroke Kise's shoulder that had become as stiff as a rock. Kise inhaled and exhaled prominently, and he closed his eyes for a minute. When he opened them back, he suggested, "Kurokocchi's right. We're too tense. Let's play a round or two of basketball, shall we?"
"Oh damn right, we shall!" Kagami and Aomine stood up from their sit. "I said don't copy me!" they yelled at each other.
They all stretched out their body that felt tired by their long sit. "Guys, can I play too?" asked Momoi. They all looked at her, and their gaze switched to her boobs, and later at her face again, and landed on her boobs back.
"Everyone, please stop ogling Momoi-san," Kuroko walked in front of her to stop them from continue undressing her within their minds. "She has as much skill as a basketball player should. And without Kise-kun, the teams would be unbalanced."
"Eh? I'm not counted?" cried Kise from the side.
"Your ankle is still healing, and I think Kasamatsu-san won't be able to forgive you if you're not in good shape by next week," explained Kuroko while holding a basketball. Judging from the death stare Kasamatsu was giving him, Kuroko was probably right. Kise gave a surrendering pout.
"Fine." Kise remained beseated on his place while the others began to stretch out and warm up. Later, he held out the basketball in his hands before standing in front of Kagami and Murasakibara, centers from both teams. His other hand was holding the whistle he got from Momoi.
"Everyone ready?"
They all nodded. Kise put the whistle on his lips, his right hand swinging the ball downwards.
And the whistle was blown. The ball flew into the air.
"TIP-OFF!"
Whew! I think that was kinda long :3 *wipes sweat* and judging from the bundles of explanation in this chapter, I hope you won't get bored easily. I decided to put a different kind of reaction for Kuroko's event of spilled milkshake. Rather than going all yandere, I put him as a robot that was nearing it's expiration date.
On a side note, last time I went shopping, I saw a basketball court on the way back.
I….Have never felt so riled up. Seeing a basketball hoop up there, just made me want to take a ball, ANY kinds of ball, and jump and dunk it. I was caught staring at it by my mom.
Damn, Kagami's germs were spreading. I need to take a good shower and also a curing shot. (Kagami: Oy!) And thanks for reading, even until these drabbles! Till next time! :3
