Based on the prompt: A turns into an animal, and B takes the animal in. Chaos ensures.
p.s spot the cameos, and references
Okay, so this is gonna be a 2-part drabble. I will post the next part next time.
In this story, Akashi turns into an animal because of Momoi's cooking. He gets thrown out of his house, and when he was wandering around Kuroko takes him in.
He ends up living with the bluenette (who he likes. Of course) and sees a side of Kuroko no one else knows. He ends up being more attached to Kuroko and has second thoughts about turning back to human.
And yeah. My classmate told me about this prompt and helped me write this so… thank her too.
It all started when Momoi came over with Aomine in tow. Apparently, she made food for her beloved Tetsu-kun, but didn't know if the food was perfect enough for the phantom player. The pink-haired manager went to the person she knew who had a superior palate, and asked Akashi to judge the bento she made for Kuroko. After all, she knew the red head would know what the bluenette liked, since they spent so much time together.
(wink wink- momoi ships them)
Despite knowing Momoi's talent in cooking—or rather, the lack of it—Akashi obliged and agreed to be the taste tester.
When she presented part of the bento to him, he subtly inhaled the scent.' It smelled normal, nothing stands out or smells odd'. He gently picked up the food with his chopsticks, and ate it.
Aomine cringed as he watched Akashi eat. He was worried for his ex-captain's safety, while Momoi watched with rapt attention, waiting for the verdict.
It… tasted normal. It was a bit good, even. Not as fine as what he would've liked, but the Akashi heir has grown up eating many delicacies, so he was a hard judge.
"Congratulations, Momoi-san," Akashi said, wiping his mouth. "I deem it fit for Kuroko to eat. But may I ask, who thought you to cook?"
Momoi smiled brightly at this. "I had Kagamin to teach me, and Mukkun too! Thank you, Akashi-kun."
Aomine looked over to the redhead dubiously, "Are you sure you're okay? Satsuki can't cook anything for shit. Just the fact that it tastes alright must mean that something horrible will happen—"
The tanned male was knocked down, and Momoi stood behind him , her eyes blazing. She smiled sweetly towards Akashi despite the threatening aura surrounding her. "We'll be taking our leave now, Akashi-kun. Thank you for having us."
She bowed and started dragging Aomine away, chuckling darkly and spewing threats about burning his beloved Mai-chan, while the aho started begging for forgiveness.
"Satsuki! Please you can be serious. Mai-chan is my life—"
Akashi watched the two disappear. He felt that Ahomine might have been overeacting, but he felt somewhat uneasy. He shook his head.' Stop it,' he chided himself. 'Don't worry about it, you have work to do.'
However, he felt somewhat queasy and his head ached a bit. 'I can't let this bother me, I am an Akashi. Work is what is important in this family.'
He ignored the sudden weight in his stomach, and the sick feeling he was getting. He would take some advil, if it got worse. What could possibly happen?
But who knew a single bento could ruin his life.

Beep. Beep. Beep.
Akashi opened his eyes groggily. When he looked up, he could see things in fine detail.
'Why is everything so defined? And everything appeared to be larger… wait.'
Akashi looked down upon himself in horror. He was covered in red fur, not to mention he had apparently turned into an animal. He stood up on his four paws, atop the king sized bed. Akashi lifted his head and looked at the mirror standing at the side.
He has turn into a small fox cub. His fur the exact same shade as his hair. 'Is this a dream? It can't be I had plans with my friends today!' He looked to his paws, and tried scratching himself. It hurt, and it appears as if this was all real.
'Okay, Seijuro,' he thought to himself. 'Stay calm and assess the situation. What triggered this change?'
The answer was the bento Momoi made. It was the only suspicious thing he had eaten yesterday. He skipped dinner in order to finish his papers. Nothing odd happened yesterday either, so the only possible thing was the food that Momoi made him eat.
'I need to contact someone who could help me,' Akashi thought to himself. 'There were many scientists and experts in the Akashi company. The only question was how to contact and communicate with them?'
Before Akashi could formulate his plan, a maid knocked on the door and opened it. "Seijuro-sama? It's time for your breakfast. You have a meeting together with your friend, Kuroko-sama, later today and-."
However the one in the bed is not who she was looking for, but rather a red fox staring at her rather contemplatively. "Aaah!" the maid shrieked and immediately a butler came in.
"Mey-Rin! What is wrong?" he turned to the bed and saw the fox cub. "Oh."
"Se-Sebastian!" Mey-Rin, the maid, cried. "There's a fox in there. It might've harmed the young master!"
"Be calm," the butler said. Sebastian quickly picked up the fox cub. "Go around and find Seijuro-sama. He must be near here somewhere. Meanwhile, I shall take care of this… animal."
"H-hai, Sebastian!" The maid quickly scurried off, the forgotten breakfast in her hands.
"This is certainly very troublesome," the butler sighed. He carried the fox downstairs, and into the servants quarters. He went outside, and gently set the fox down. "I would keep you here, but I only like cats."
'What. No, no this cannot be happening. I AM ABSOLUTE. UNHAND ME YOU FILTHY FIEND. LOOK AT ME. ASDFGHJKL,' Akashi raged out. However, since he can't speak, it just came out as growls. The red (haired) furred(?) fox swung out viciously and bared his teeth.
(A/N: it would appear as of Akashi's mental capacity is at risk. I mean he screamed "ASDFGHJKL".)
Because of that, he got thrown out of his own estate. And that's how he ended up wandering the streets of Japan early in the morning.

'Let's see here,' he mused to himself.' I have turned into a fox, I have no way to communicate with others, and I have nowhere to stay. Not to mention, I would probably be killed on sight, or thrown into an animal shelter. First, I would need to find shelter, and a source of food.'
"Oh! A fox! Let's kill it," a young voice suddenly said. Akashi turned towards the source and saw a group of kids. They all shouted in agreement to what the first said, and started throwing stones at him.
"Die! Die," they all shouted gleefully.
Akashi snarled at them, and scurried away. He got hit by a lot of rocks, but he still had strength to move. 'Those kids…. When I turn back human, I'm making them pay.'
"Oi! It's getting away," one kid shouted. "Chase it!"
Akashi ran faster. He needed to get away from the crazy kids. The fox was so focused on getting away, he didn't notice the bicycle heading his way.
"Shit, is that a fox—" the guy riding said. CRASH! Akashi was run over, but he didn't mind. He limped away from the scene.
'I need to hide.' That was the one thought in his mind. Akashi finally managed to drag his battered body away in a secluded park and rested.' Is this what animals go through?'
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over his resting body.' Not another person…' He waited for something bad to happen, but instead a gentle hand patted him.
"Oh no," a familiar voice said. "Poor fox, don't worry. I'm going to fix you up."
Akashi looked up and saw familiar sky blue eyes. 'Ku-Kuroko?! Thank the gods, it was someone he knew.' He let himself be carried by the bluenette, who murmured comforting words. He was tired from the whole ordeal, that he fell asleep in the bluenette's arms.
'His arms… are very warm,' was his last thought as he snuggled deeper in Kuroko's arms.

When Akashi woke, he was bandaged up and his wounds were clean. He was lying on a steel table, a bowl of water stood beside him. He gently lapped it up, feeling a bit embarrassed. It was still water, whether or not it was in a bowl or a cup.
As Akashi drank, the door opened and Kuroko came in. "Ah! He is awake now," the bluenette said. He came to where the fox was drinking and greeted him. "How are you, little fox?"
Kuroko petted Akashi on the head. 'This feels degrading but nice at the same time…,' Akashi thought to himself.
"Don't touch him-nanodayo. He is dangerous," a familiar voice said by the door. Akashi turned his head and saw Midorima standing there.
The bespectacled man was wearing a lab coat while wearing a frog hat on his head. "Seriously, Kuroko. I know you love animals, but please stop asking me to treat them-nanodayo. I am not a vet, I'm studying to be a doctor."
Kuroko waved him off. "Vet, doctor, it sounds the same—"
"IT DOES NOT—"
"—and you only had to treat his wounds right?" Kuroko continued. "It's expensive to go to an animal doctor, and besides he doesn't have any broken bones. Besides, we're friends aren't we?"
Midorima huffed, and adjusted his glasses. "It's not like I did because I'm your friend. It's because you paid me too."
"If you say so."
"Hmph," the green-haired said. "We need to discuss this matter now. Where on earth, did you find this fox cub?"
"I found him in the park, wounded," Kuroko explained. "He was probably run over by something, yet he's still walking around. He's very strong."
"Do you think he was being transported to a zoo?" Midorima asked.
The bluenette shook his head, "I don't think so. He doesn't seem like a tame animal, nor does he seem wild. I highly doubt he was hunted and caught as a prize."
Midorima examined the fox. "Then what is going to happen to him? He looks very special, see? Red fur, and a sleek body. What's more is that his eyes are oddly colored."
"Hai," Kuroko smiled. "He reminds me of a certain someone too. See his eyes? It's just like Akashi's: red and gold. I didn't know that foxes can also get heterochromia. I thought it was only cats."
"He certainly resembles Akashi quite a bit…,"
"I know right? I was supposed to meet Akashi-kun today, but he didn't answer my calls and the people in his (mansion) house said he was out. So when I was going back home, I stumbled upon this guy. I was lucky to have found him, lest he be with someone worse. I think he's important."
"He is certainly valuable," the horoscope believer said. " I think we should give him to the zoo."
'No,' Akashi shouted, but it came out as a growl.
"No!" Kuroko said too. He brought the fox closer to him. "They might experiment on him."
Midorima sighed, exasperated. "Then what do you suggest?"
"I'm taking him home with me," Kuroko stated. He looked hard at Midorima. "I can take care of him, besides, I have grown somewhat attached to him."
"HE'S A FOX!" Midorima shook Kuroko by the shoulders. "Just because he looks like someone you know, doesn't mean he's not dangerous. He could have rabies, or some other disease. He could hurt you, foxes are hunters after all."
"He won't hurt me," Kuroko reasoned. "He can barely move, and I have Nigou to protect me."
After a few more minutes of arguing, they finally came to an agreement: the fox would stay with Kuroko until they could secure a safe place for him, one where he would not be experimented on.
(A/N: I know they could just give him to a zoo or contact an animal organization, but let's pretend almost everyone in the world wants to kill, experiment or hunt foxes. Making them endangered. Yeah, sorry for the plot holes.)

"And this is where you will sleep, just don't destroy the bed. Here is your food and water bowl. I'm not sure of what foxes eat, so I'm giving you fruits for now. Oh and-" Kuroko rattled on.
They were now in Kuroko's apartment. The bluenette prepared his room to be dog and fox friendly, and was showing the fox everything in the house. Nigou stood beside him, his tail wagging. The dog had warmed up to the fox, and was now following him everywhere.
Akashi sighed, or what is equivalent to a sigh, since he is currently a fox, after all. It is gonna be hard, living with his past teammate (crush), not to mention that he is a fox! And has no way of turning back.
He followed Kuroko around as he talked. The bluenette still spoke in a monotone manner, but it is clear that he was overjoyed and excited. After the tour, Kuroko let Akashi eat some food, and watched him eat.
Needless to say, it bothered Akashi.
'Does he really need to stare at me as I eat? He could stare at Nigou instead, not me.'
"You're really pretty, little fox," Kuroko said out loud. He beckoned Nigou closer and cuddled him. "Nigou, you like him too right?" And the dog barked out enthusiastically.
"What should we call you, little fox?" Kuroko wondered. "What about Swiper from Dora?"
Akashi growled. 'No, I will not be called with that… hideous name.'
Kuroko laughed, "It seems as if you don't like it. What do you think, Nigou?" He asked the dog, but he merely barked in reply."
"Oh, I know!" Kuroko said once again. "How about Kitsune?"
'That worse than Swiper," Akashi formulated a plan. He went to Kuroko and waved his tail at him. It was a bit tricky, since he didn't have a tail before, but he managed.
Kuroko seemed to get the hint. "Oh you're telling me your name? Let's see, your tail… hmm… the fur is… Aka (red)? You want to be called Aka?"
Akashi nodded. 'It is certainly better than the other's you suggested.'
"Hmm," Kuroko hummed and smiled. "I like it. Nice to meet you, Aka-kun. Nigou greet him too."
"Arf!"
And so, Akashi's new life as the temporary pet of Kuroko Tetsuya began.
I'll get the next part done. If it's weird, I'm sorry. If it's bad, I'm sorry too. Tell me what you think of it. its 2 am now
