~Dearest readers, thank you for your lovely reviews. Seeing them makes me want to write and update but I'm afraid my busy schedule (cosplans, school work Etc.) is stopping me... I'll try to update as soon as i can!
Adding a part of Momoi into my story, it's quite a twist but i think such tragedies would spice up the story and make the bonds of love grow stronger than before. Sorry that its a bit long and not much about the romance between Akashi and Kuroko but this is just a build up to the up coming disaster! It may be rather boring since it's mainly about the past of Momoi and Akashi but things will go on in the next chapter which will be posted in a day or two! Please read on. thank you for the continuous support!~
*outside the meeting place, Cafe*
"What should i do..? I'm so late already... What if Akashi-kun is not there?" Kuroko was thinking of so many possibilities of what may happen. If Akashi was not there, how he should react.. He was really confused, not knowing what to do, he wiped off all the negatives from his mind and stepped in.
The bell rang as the door was swung open and some turned to the door. The quick waitress stepped forward "Irashaimase!" but Kuroko paid no attention to her. Just as his teal eyes spotted the red coloured hair teen, he watched bitterly as his Akashi walked out of the other exit, one hand clutching his phone to the ear while his face had a terribly disgusted look. Where was he going?
The confused boy was about to chase after the one he loved but held back, assuming that Akashi had given up. That familiar back of Akashi which he have always chased after... was now gone with the possibility of never returning in sight ever again.
Kuroko's eyes swelled with tears and he ran home. Maybe this was the end of his love life... This was the first time he has ever felt so heartbroken. He used to hate how his parents left him all alone but this was a new level of pain, a little too much for him to bear.
*setting change, momoi satsuki's house*
"I told you that i don't want a political marriage! Yes i know it will benefit the family business but this is not what i want!" screamed satsuki and she ran out of the room. Her grandparents have set up a political marriage for her but she wanted to marry the one she really loves.
*Momoi Satsuki's past*
Being brought up in an old family, she had to be the "lady of ladies", since young she have been trained in the traditional japanese arts such as tea ceremony and flower arrangement. She hated how her grandparents looked at her with much disgust for being the eldest child, a girl, of the prestigious momoi family.
Her mother who always defended her had passed away when she was only 3 years old. It was such a tragedy and it left satsuki all alone, her grandparents called her a curse. Her father drank to his sorrows and accidentally impregnated another woman while he was drunk. He had to be held responsible so he married the woman and gave her the title of 'wife'. The stepmother hated satsuki more than anything else in the world and merely married her father for the inheritance in time to come. The "diligent wife" gave birth to 3 sons, which the grandparents have yearned for so much, over the years.
From the age of 4 (the appearance of her father's new wife and the birth of a son), satsuki had to bear all the sufferings of being an unwanted daughter, a thing or burden that was left behind by her late mother. She was abused by her stepmother occasionally when that woman was not in a good mood or when her father was away.
She was usually confined in her room after school until recent years where her family members decided to let her have some freedom and stopped sending a chauffeur and bodyguard to ensure her 'safety'. She remained happy in front of her friends so as to hide her pain. However, her eyes reflected much sorrow.
Once when she sneaked out of her house, she bumped into Aomine (a classmate back then) thus becoming really close friends. He was her confidant and would spend time with her whenever she sneaked out. Though Teiko was rather far from her home, she insisted and begged so as to stay with Aomine who was there for her all the time.
*Satsuki's room*
She knew this was her stepmother's plan to get rid off her quickly. Marriage at the age of 16... This was unheard of in the 20th century but sadly, she grew up in an old tradition Japanese family. And the worst thing was that her marriage partner was none other than the former captain of the basketball team, Akashi Seijuro.
This is a tragedy. She knew that seijuro was a nice guy but she would not have expected him to be her marriage partner...
*Akashi's home*
"Would you stop being a brat and grow up? This is for your future and darling, you know her since middle school." exclaimed the red head's mother, ignoring the husband's actions to ask her to stop... while the figure of a younger girl that resembled Akashi was evidently seen at the top of the stairs...
"She's just a friend and I do not love her! Just so you know, we have only known each other during middle school, we are in different high schools."
"Give it up will you! It has been long planned that the momoi family will tie a knot with our family!"
"I will never agree to such a thing! I will not marry her and this is final!" Akashi clenched his fist as he blurted out those words angrily.
To him, Satsuki was an ex-school mate and that was all there is to it. He liked her due to her talent but not in the romantic way since he only had eyes for kuroko. There was no way that he would marry her.
After all this time, his parents actually called him to discuss his marriage which benefitted his parents. He was angry and rather upset that when he was the only child, they always gave in to him but now he is forced to do things he dislike due to that girl...
"This is why i left home! hate this place..."
*Akashi's family*
Both husband and wife are doctors that own the Akashi Hospital which was the biggest one in Tokyo. They even have other sub branches around Japan too. Akashi inherited the "worst" traits from the both of them... His liking of scissors and commanding, I-am-always-right attitude was taken from his scary yet strong-willed mother who climbed her way from an average family to one of the best doctors in Japan. He took more of his physical traits from his father, small build, red hair, both father and son had the same look in their eyes. Seijuro looked almost like his father just that his left eye was orange-yellow which belonged to his mother.
Just days before Akashi started middle school, a lady and young child turned up at their door claiming that the girl was the offspring of the Akashi family. The lady of the house had just returned home from a tiring day of work, operations as well as checking on the patients, was in a no-nonsense-mood. She had just scolded her darling son for sitting in an unbecoming posture while reading books...
Upon hearing such rubbish, she dismissed the maid and told her that the lady must be chased away. But her husband went to the door and was shocked to see a tiny female version of him... He ransacked his brain to see if he was ever unfaithful to his wife but nothing came up. The woman said that she found the child on the streets and since she resembled Dr. Akashi, she decided to bring the child to his door. Pitying the poor girl, he took the young child into the house.
They did a blood test and proved that there was no blood relation between the child and the Akashi, which stopped the constant flying scissors around the house. Unable to located the girl's biological parents, the Akashi family adopted her and this upset Seijuro who used to be the centre of attention. With the new "sister", he then left home and purchased an apartment near Teiko which was far from his actual home. He hated the sight of that girl who resembled his father and himself. It disgusted him so he moved away, reluctant to return home. And his parents let him go...
