Warning : none for this chapter

Author's Note : Hey guys.. I'm back with a new chapter. Do you miss me already? Hehe.. Joking2.. I'm strucked with the idea tonight so I thought I will write it down before the idea vanished. I don't think this story will be as long as this when I first started it. First time I started this story, I already have the outline for the story, but when the story developed, my outline direction was changed bit by bit. Well, overall it's not that much change, but the events that I have planned before was different with what I've excecuted till now. I'm quite happy with the result though. The original plan that I have is not as interesting as this is, so I'm happy. I hope the story will end successfully, and before you asked, I think I will continuing writing stories for this fandom afterall. Today I'm really excited with the new concept story for Akakuro and I think I will write it, after this one finished. I planned another 1 or 2 more chapters for this story so I hope you will stay tuned with me. Thank you very much for your continuous support all this time. I will wait for your comments. Hope you enjoy this chapter. Ciao~~

Twisted Cinderella

Chapter 6

Night when the ball was held.

"You look good, Akashi-kun. You only need a matching shoes for that outfit. Do you have them?" said Kuroko approvingly as he stared at Akashi striding into the living room.

"Unfortunately, no. But I remember my father have one that will match this outfit well. It's in the cupboard behind you. Do you mind giving it to me?" said Akashi as he straighten the suit and his red necktie.

Kuroko opened the cupboard and there he saw it, a pair of silver shoes that matched silver suit Akashi wear. Furthermore, the shoes has some delicate intricate design of red butterfly that make the shoes more elegant.

"That was some shoes you have there, Akashi-kun. I've never seen a shoes with butterfly design like this before." Kuroko picked up the pair and hand it over to Akashi.

"It's not mine. It was made by order, the only one in this world, for my dear father. Cost us almost all of our saving." Sighed Akashi.

"Why did your father made it then, if it's cost a lot of money?" ask Kuroko as he tilting his head a little bit, confused.

"Apparently his lucky item that day is shoes with butterfly design. He threaten the shoe maker to finish it within 4 hours the same day, that's what made it cost fortune." Akashi sighed again heavily as he wear the shoes that was a little big for him but still alright.

"Lucky item?" asked Kuroko more confused.

"Ah.. Don't worry about that. That's just the quirk of my father. I'm finished btw. What do you think?" said Akashi as he straightened up his posture.

"Yes, I think you are ready to go, Akashi-kun." Said Kuroko approved.

"Let's get this finished then."

"Are you sure you know who is the owner of that shoe, Kuroko?" asked Kagami flabbergasted.

"Yes, I'm sure, Kagami-kun. This silver shoe with butterfly pattern, only one person in this kingdom will have it as it's been made for him alone. Not only that, I also know who the red haired person is and where did he lives." Said Kuroko frowning a little.

"Tha.. That's a great news then.. I'm sure Prince Daiki will be happy to hear that we found his consort-to-be." Kagami said with a fake smile that cannot deceived anyone.

"Kagami-kun… Are you okay?" ask Kuroko concerned with his partner.

"Yes, of course. Why would I not be? Let's report this to His Highness. I'm sure he'll be ecstatic." Said Kagami as he paced to the door.

"If it's okay with you, Kagami-kun." Said Kuroko with deeper frown as he follow his partner outside.

"Are you certain about the person identity, Tetsu?" Prince Daiki excitedly launch from his seat as soon as he heard about the news.

"Yes, I'm quite sure. But just to confirm it once again, the person is taller than me just a couple inch, has red hair and eyes, emitting dominance aura all over him. Is that right?" asked Kuroko.

"Yes, you are right. His arrogance was shining through that night. How did you know that, Kuroko? You were not attending the ball." Said Kagami.

"Yeah.. How did you know, Tetsu? Not that your description of him is mistaken, it's so precise actually." Said Prince Daiki.

"It's not important. What's important right now is how do you want to come after your consort-to-be, Your Highness? I can arrange for royal procession to fetch your consort-to-be." Said Kuroko.

"No, that's not necessary. I will just show up on his door and asked him to duel again in front of his house." Prince Daiki said as his feral grin showed up.

"PRINCE DAIKI! Are you still on that stupid duel again? He'll be your consort-to-be. There's no need for that duel again!" exclaimed Kagami.

"Stand back, Kagami. I told you million times that I don't need a consort, moreover him as my consort. I need him as my duel opponent, not as a consort." said Prince Daiki.

"Prince Daiki!"

"Please hold back, you two. How about we send him a notice that Prince Daiki will come and fetch him at certain day so he could think it over himself. After Prince Daiki fetch him to the castle, let's talk about this again, whether it's about him to be a consort or a duel partner. How's that?" said Kuroko.

"That's a good idea, Tetsu. I'm in." Prince Daiki smiled.

"Hmph. Don't think I will forget about this conversation, Your Highness." Said Kagami sulking but agreed nevertheless.

"This is bad. It's really a bad omen. If I knew that missing my lucky item will resulted this catasthrope, I should have searched harder for purple carrot this morning." Midorima said, shaking as he clutched a letter in his hand.

"Father.. I'm hungry. Do you have some snacks? Hmm? What is that?" Murasakibara entered the living room to search snacks but instead finding his father shaking there.

"Murasakichii~~ You left the laundry before you hang them down. Don't let Akashichi found it, would you.. I don't need another fuming Akashichi. Last week was terrible." Kise striding into the room as he scold his brother. Finally he noticed that something is wrong with their father.

"Father, what happened? Why are you shaking? What is that? A letter?" asked Kise concerned as he approached his father.

"We just received a notification letter from the Prince stating he will come to fetch Akashi." Said Midorima after he calms down a bit.

"What? You surprised me there. I thought it was some kind of bad news, judging from your expression." Said Kise exhaling the breath he unconsciously held down.

"Do you think Akachin will permit us to go with him to the castle? The snacks there is the best." Said Murasakibara.

"You fools! If the prince is really coming here to fetch Akashi, then we'll be doomed!" said Midorima grimly.

"What? Why? What do you mean, father?" exclaimed Kise.

"Do you forget what happened at that night when the ball was held? We broke the laws. We held down Akashi here although for some reason I don't know till now he could still went to the ball, but we held him. Therefore we broke the laws and we will get punishment for that." Said Midorima sighed.

"But.. But they don't know that, right, Father? Akashichi was at the ball that night, so technically we were not breaking the laws." Said Kise.

"Yeah? And do you think Akashi will not tell the story to the prince?" said Midorima menacingly.

"Ne.. what kind of punishment do you think they will give us?" said Murasakibara.

"Probably they will banned you forever from your snacks." Said Midorima.

"What? NOOOO! I still want to eat Maiubou! I want to eat Potato chips! They cannot banned me from them!" exclaimed Murasakibara.

"Regardless of what the punishment will be, we have to avoid them at all cost." Said Midorima.

"And what do you suggest to achieve that, Father?" asked Kise.

"We have to make as if Akashi never lived in here in the first place." Said Midorima with his glasses glinting.
