"Since this our last farewell, I hope Midorima-kun accept it." Said Kuroko before he leaving Midorima still holding that drink.
'What just happen?' think Midorima as he tough Kuroko just teasing him like usual.

[Day after incident]
BEEP…BEEP..BEEP.. "I'm sorry. The number you had been call is out of our network. Please try again." Said the operator.
"Shit. Why he off his phone now? That bastard, if I meet him later, I'll kick him. How could he escape our practice at this critical moment." Said Kagami angrily.
He had call Kuroko several times since he not attend the school and their basketball practice. Its very rare to see Kuroko escape from practice without notice it to him or Riko. Now, they are having an intense practice since they will against the most powerful opponent, Rakuzen High School. Most important, they will against the former captain of GOM, Akashi Seijirou.
It had been bother him since he really close to Kuroko. They also had known as 'duo first year' in that school. Whenever they see Kagami, they also see Kuroko walking along him as Kuroko had become his shadow. Thus, seeing he without his shadow is some rare sight, with addition he also didn't know where's his shadow had gone. Usually, Kuroko will inform him if he is not able to come to school or not able to join in their practice. However, today is not like usual. Since he starts their training today, others member had keep bothering him by asking Kuroko.
'I'm really had a bad feeling about this.' Thought Kagami as he walking back home.

[Back to hospital]
.
.
'Where am I now?' thought Kuroko to different scenery as soon he open his eyes. His eyes slowly adapted to the new environment.
That place dim, only a little of light shows, light that pass through a small window glass above him. It directly onto his face. It looks like he has been trapped in a small room with sweet smell that gives from rose flower surrounding him. He reaches up his hand to open the trapped wall above him, but there is no used. With his limited strength, he unable to open it. Then, he tried to stand up, but his body does not listening to him. No matter how much he tried to wake up, his body doesn't move. It just like his body had been paralyzed. Suddenly….
Panic evolves his mind as he thought the possibility of his condition now.
"Does I am dead already? Why I cannot move?" said Kuroko as he try his best to denied it.
" I cannot end here. There is something I need to do before its end….. Please… Someone, saved me…" shout Kuroko pleading for help. He knocks the wall above him as hard as he could. At least it could notice someone outside there that he is in the mysterious room.
Suddenly, he hears a footstep coming toward him. The faint sounds slowly become loud as it become nearer to him. The sound stop suddenly as it show the owner had stopped at one point. His heart beat loudly as he hopes that person will help him out of the coffin.
"Tetsuya…." That person call Kuroko's name softly. He slowly walks towards the coffin and finally reach to the front of the coffin. He stares to the person in the coffin. His eyes full of sadness and hurting, seeing the sight that he really didn't want it to happen in his life. Tear trickling down his eyes…
"..Tetsuya….Why these must be happen to us? …." Plead that person.
.
.
.
"Tetsuya…"
Hearing a voice calling his name. Kuroko become anxious; caution whose call his name. The footsteps become closer to him. Kuroko closed his eyes. Suddenly he becomes nervous of person that will appear in front of him. In his heart, he hopes 'that person' did not appear in front him. If that really happen, he really does not know how to handle it.
"…Tetsuya…" call that person again. Slowly, Kuroko open his eyes; see who keep calling for him. His eyes open widely as he recognizes the person above him.
"…A…Akashi-kun, why…?" said Kuroko as he sees that person, person he mostly wants to avoid to see him in this state.
"….Tetsuya….Why these must happen to us?" Said Akashi as tears trickling from his eyes…
Kuroko stare to person above him. Akashi looks hurt, hurt as he sees his beloved person sleeping.
"…Why you keep hiding yourself from me? Am I so hateful until you cruelly leaving me alone?" said Akashi as tears continuously dripping out through his cheek.
"Why are you non-stop hurting me? What sin that I had done to you, Tetsuya?"
"I love you to the max….. With the most passion in the world…."
"…I don't want to sully those pure, innocent eyes of yours…. Because sometimes reality looks like it's painful….."
Kuroko stared to the person above him. His hand gripping his chest tightly. His heart feels hurt hearing his beloved person pleading for him. Seeing him in that state give a lot of burden for Kuroko, which as hard he tried to denied his feeling but when it became like these, see his beloved person in hurt because of him really unbearable.
"…Akashi-kun..Gomenasai…I never intend to leaving you. You are not hateful person…I am the most cruel person. I'm continuously hurting you…" said Kuroko as tears crawling out of his blue eyes.
However, his words did not reach to Akashi. Blocked by the permanent wall. Akashi still standing there, while his head fall down to the ground.
'I cannot end here. I am still alive. I need to explain everything to Akashi-kun.' Thought Kuroko as he continuously hitting the wall that separating him and outside world. However, nothing changes. With his limited energy, the wall didn't budge a bit.
Suddenly, Akashi goes nearer to Kuroko. He bows until he faced the small glass window.
" I guess this our real farewell, Tetsuya. …..Just you know that either you beside me or not, I…. i'm always loving you. None in these world can describe how much my love to you… For me, you are the most precious person in my life. Before, none can make my emotion become venerable. But you…you're the first person able to shaken my emotion…." Said Akashi as he slowly kissing the small glass wall as tears non-stop dripping from his eyes.
"Sayonara, Tetsuya…." Said Akashi as he walk away from Kuroko.
"No….don't leave me, Akashi-kun... I'm still alive…."
"….A….Aka…Akashi-kun…please stop! " shout Kuroko as he see Akashi walking away from him. Before, he stunned by Akashi's speech. He never knows that Akashi is more hurt than he is.
Kuroko continuously push and knock the wall above him. However, the wall still hard and stood there proudly.
"Shit… Somebody…help me….. Akashi-kun, help me…I'm still alive…" shout Kuroko as he desperately tried to get out from there. Tears and sweet mix together along the sweet scent from the flower as his energy decreasing.
Suddenly, the wall above him open by itself. With a little energy left, Kuroko command his body to move and get out from there. As soon he moves out, he was standing in a dark place, no light or anything. Just a pitch dark embedding the empty space.
'Where am I now?' thought Kuroko as he moved out of the small room. He standing there as he being surrounded by red roses which release the same sweet smell from before.
Kuroko slowly walk, searching….
"… A…Akashi-kun, are you still at here?" ask Kuroko full in curiosity.
"…Akashi-kun….."
However, there is no answer. There's no sound beside Kuroko's rapid breath and tears. Kuroko fall down, onto the flower. His hand covered his tearing face.
"There's still no different from before…. At last, I still cannot explain everything to Akashi…" shout Kuroko in the darkness.
"From start until the end, I'm still be alone and unrecognized. Does world really hate me by punish me like this?" cried Kuroko in silent.
As his energy depleted, Kuroko become tired as his conscious slowly reduce. He became sleepy as his eye's lid slowly closed. Lying on the rose bed, the sweet smells engulf him, as lullaby him.
"Now, I began to fall. Fall into this shallow slumber….Gomen, Akashi-kun…." Said Kuroko before he fully closed his eyes.
'In the end, I always make chaos to everyone. Never fulfill the promise I made with Akashi-kun. Maybe this is the best solution for me' thought Kuroko.
.
.
.
"…chi…Kurokocchi…Kurokocchi…please wake up…"
'Who is calling for me? I'm feeling really tired.' Thought Kuroko as he suddenly feels someone gripping his hand. He hears someone crying, calling for him.
'Maybe I should open my eyes. Who's really annoying calling me in my sleep?' as Kuroko slowly open his eyes.
As soon he open his eyes, the brightness sting his eyes. In blurry vision, he see yellow head gripping his right hand. He blinks several times before his vision become clear.
"…Kise-kun, why are you crying?" ask Kuroko bluntly as he see tears in his face.
"WAH….KUROKOCCHI…YOU HAD AWAKE." Shout Kise loudly as he shock by Kuroko's voice. Instantly, he hugs the small brunette.
"…Kurokocchi…..Please don't make me like this again.. I'm really scared of something bad might happen to you…." cried Kise as he buried his face on Kuroko's shoulder.
"I'm really sorry, Kise-kun. It is my fault for involving Kise-kun into my problem." Said Kuroko as he slowly stroke Kise's hair.
"By the way, where am I now, Kise-kun? And I'm really sure this is not my house, right?" ask Kuroko as he realize his surrounding differ than his room.
Kise stiffen in Kuroko hugs. He know that he cannot lied to Kuroko. By taking a deep breath, he release from Kuroko's hug.
"…I brought Korokocchi to hospital… also; I informed your condition to Midorimacchi. He told me to brought you here, to his father's hospital." Said Kise in hope Kuroko didn't mad to him.
"Can Kurokocchi forgive me? During that time, I'm really panic. So, I call Midorimacchi since you didn't want me tell Akashicchi…"
A hard punch reaches to Kise's stomach.
"Urgh...Why, Kurokocchi? Why are you hitting me?" plead Kise as he rub his stomach.
" I had told Kise-kun that 'don't tell to anyone', right?" Said Kuroko with murders eyes.
"I tell Kise to brought you here, Kuroko. And, why are you really desperately avoiding these matter from us?" ask Midorima as he approach in the ward.
"….Midorima-kun…" said Kuroko in shock.
"Now, it's my turn to ask you, Kuroko." Said Midorima as he walking towards Kuroko. Kuroko stiffen on the bed.
"Why are you keeping these from us?" ask Midorima.
Kuroko remain in silent. There's no way for him to tell them about his illness. He didn't want any sympathy regarding to his health.
With a deep sigh, "We already know about your illness, Kuroko. already explains it to both of us. And, don't worry, we didn't tell to anyone, include Akashi." Said Midorima as he see tension in Kuroko.
"It's alright, Kurokocchi. We know what happen to you." Said Kise as he pat the head of the blue small brunette.
His hand grip tightly on the bed sheet.
"Yeah, I know what I'm doing. After all, there's no need to thing. Everything is already too late for me, Midorima-kun" said Kuroko in sadness tone.
"Kuroko… we understand your situation. However, if you keep continue to play, you will only continuously hurting yourself. Not only you, but also everyone that bonded with you. Have you ever though what will happen if Akashi found about this?" said Midorima
"…I…I don't know, Midorima-kun…" said Kuroko while closing his eyes. He could imagined how mad of Akashi if he know 'bout it.
The room become sorrow and sadness as Kuroko said;
"…..I am all alone. Because I came floating down…. To overcome this unstained pain... "
sorry for any grammar mistake...
