Thank you so much for all your reviews, i will answer them later o v o
Here chapter 9
Aomine was restless, he couldn't wait any more, he had to go to save him now, but they wouldn't say him where they suspected he was, and Akashi has caged him on his own room, to avoid any ruckus he could cause, he was fuming, his anger filling all his being.
Kuroko in the other hand was training with Takao, he was teaching him the basics and fatal movements, he taught him how to defend too, werewolves were dangerous and traitorous creatures so they couldn't take the defend lesson lightly.
The only thing Kagami could do was be sitting there watching his boyfriend training, he felt useless, he would have to stay here the day they were going, he wasn't pleased with the idea, but Kuroko convinced him.
Midorima and Akashi meanwhile were preparing strategies, looking for any weak spot in the castle, so they could sneak in without being seen and go unnoticed, Midorima memorised the map, so they wouldn't have to bring unnecessary material with them.
Akashi was prepared but he knew the others wasn't yet, Kuroko still was weak, what it mean is that he was an easy target, he has saved him so he didn't want to see him die once again, not now that he was part of the family, he wouldn't let anyone die, not even the human, he would keep them all safe and bring them back here.

I was thrown at my cage again, they didn't put the cloth on me again, and they had taken the one from Momoi, so we could talk, and see each other. This was being really hard, but she was trying to keep a strong front, I smiled weakly at her.
"Everything will be fine, Momoicchi, they won't hurt you as long as I do as I'm told" I said to her.
She shook her head "But Ki-chan, what are they going to do to you?" she asked.
"If you want me to be honest, I have no idea what they want about me, the only thing I know is that is connected to Aominecchi" I said.
"Who is him? And how is this connected to him?" she asked weakly.
"Aominecchi, he is a vampire that live at my house" she gasped "I know, unbelievable, I didn't believe it either, until he bit me and sucked my blood, but he isn't the bad one here, I assure you, I know he will be the one that will come to take us out of here" I said.
"Ki-chan, about Kasamatsu…" she said lowering her head.
"Yeah, I saw it" I bit my lower lip to contain a whimper "He betrayed me, he set this up, everything he said and done was all a lie, now I understand why he was growing distant" I chuckled bitterly.
"Ki-chan, I'm sure that vampire is much better than him, and if he comes that will mean that he cares about you, because he will risk his life for you" she said with a weak smile.
I nodded "Yeah…"
"Ki-chan, what are them?" she asked.
"They told me they are werewolves, and believe me, they are, the photographer, Shougo, transformed into a wolf in front of me" I said looking up the ceiling.
This all had to be a lie, come now, vampires and werewolves, I can't take this anymore, I want it to end it, if it wasn't because Momoicchi was here I would have tried to start a fight with him, and I knew I didn't have any way to win, that will mean that if he made a mistake I will….
I was brought back when I heard her sobs and whimpers, it was tearing me apart, I couldn't comfort her in any way, because I didn't believe we will get alive from this one, so I stood there in a sitting position hearing her crying.
They would always throw us the meal to the floor, like if we were animals, I wasn't even hungry but if I didn't eat she would start worrying about me, and that is something that she doesn't need to do.
Here time passed by, but I couldn't say if it was fast or slow, because we were trapped and we couldn't even know if it was morning or night, so I didn't know what day it was.
Then suddenly, one day that I was sleeping, I was awoke by a kick to my guts, I gasped for air, and I saw Haizaki smirking, I glared at him, he grabbed me and dragged me out of there.
"Don't worry, Momoicchi, I will be fine" I yelled, so she could heard me.
"Today, you will be enlightened by the truth and nothing more" he said smirking.

The days seemed longer and longer, everyday was longer than the other day, time was consuming Aomine's mind, he was being tortured by flashes from the past. Now he was free to go out of his room, so Akashi ordered him to train Kuroko with Takao, they teamed against Kuroko, because the one he is going to fight likes to play tricks, so they had to be sure he was ready for anything.
Akashi watched them train always, and from time to time he would join too, but today refrained from doing so, instead he sat next to the human, Kagami, who was watching intensely the training.
"We would protect him, I promise you, Taiga" the leader said to him.
Kagami sighed "I don't want him to go, but he is too stubborn, so please, I plead you bring him back to me, like you did when you converted him" he said.
The smaller patted his back "I will, Taiga, I always keep my word, so don't worry"
The other nodded "Thanks" he looked at the leader "I forgot, we should call Kise's boyfriend, he must be worried"
"He has a boyfriend?" the leader asked arching both brows.
"Yeah, he is called Kasamatsu, I think he deserves to know what is going on" he said.
"You are right Taiga, please give me his number I would call him later" the leader said.
And then they fell silent again, after an hour or so Akashi went back to his studio, to keep studying his plan, he didn't want anything to go wrong, they were almost there, but the time was playing against them, they only had until the next full moon, and that was going to be in two weeks, he sighed and rubbed his eyes.
"Please, we have to save him…." he murmured to himself.
He looked at his desk, and ruffled the papers to find what he was searching, when he found it, he dialled the number that was given to him, he will tell that human what was going on, but he would have to be tactful with his words, he didn't want to scare the boy.
"Hello?" he heard.
"Hi, I'm Seijuro Akashi" the vampire responded.
"Sorry, I don't know anyone with that name" he responded.
"I know, I was calling you because I know you are Ryouta's boyfriend, and regardless him, I may know what happened to him" he said.
The other fell silent, Akashi arched a brow, wondering what that human was thinking, maybe he thought this was a prank call, after all he must feel bad not knowing where his boyfriend was, the vampire sighed.
"T-then you know where Kise is?" he asked warily.
"Yeah, please let me explain you the situation, and please, believe me, what I'm about to say will be hard to believe, but I assure you this is not a prank call" he reassured the human.
The leader started to explain the situation, he was careless and it slipped him all the information they had, this was a mistake from his part, but he was tired, he has spent the last nights working in this plan, he couldn't rest and this was paying now, the human listened to all the vampire told him, until the vampire paused.
"So, this is really the truth?" he asked,
"Yeah, I'm afraid it is" he responded.
"Then, when are you going to save Kise?" he asked.
The leader paused, but responded, without knowing the consequences that will have "In two weeks, before the night of the full moon" he answered.
"I see…Can you keep me update about everything, I want to know how his rescue plan goes so far, and I want to know when he is saved" he said.
"Don't worry, I will keep you update, and I promise you we will save him" the leader reassured him.
"Thanks…" the human responded.
The human hung up, and the vampire looked at the phone, he thought he was doing what he had to do, but he has committed a big mistake, but he was too tired to realise it, he soon was dozing off, his restless night were affecting him.

They brought me back to my cage, where I broke crying, I had just cried twice in my entire life, the first when my parents died letting me alone and the second was when my gramps died, and this third time was because Aomine has lied to me, he was using me, I felt even more betrayed from him, Kasamatsu's betrayal was nothing compare to what he has done.
I cried out, whined, punched the wall, curled into a ball on the floor, crying desperately, I felt rage, sadness, pain, I was tired, I wanted this to end, and I cried and cried, ignoring the calls from Momoi, I couldn't heard her.
I let my tears ran freely down my face, while I stared at the wall blankly, it stopped. The aching pain from my chest, it was dulling me, I couldn't even heard her anymore, I knew she was still there calling for me, trying to make me pay attention, to talk to me, but I was numb, I couldn't move…. I didn't want to move, I didn't want anything anymore, I was tired of losing people, to be betrayed, to be alone, and then it all stopped, I felt nothing, I was empty, like an empty shell, there is nothing on me, they had drained all my emotions…
I broke free from the trance I was in, and I took a sitting position, I looked up at her, I wanted to smile, but my muscle wouldn't compel, she looked at me, and I could see the pain and sadness that her eyes reflected, she had her eyes red, she has been crying because of me, she offered me a weak smile.
"Ki-chan, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing" I answered curtly.
"What did they tell you there?" she asked.
"Nothing that mattered" I responded.
I looked down; I didn't want to remember what he had told me there, I didn't want to think in anything, I wanted to forget what I heard in there. I was thankful that Kasamatsu came to interrupted us when Haizaki was done with the one-sided conversation, if it wasn't for that I would have started a fight right there, I wanted to punch him, I wanted him to attack me, to let me unconscious, so I could pass this faster, but I couldn't, I was brought back here, and reality hit me again, I couldn't do anything.
"Ki-chan, please talk to me…" she said.
I looked up again "I'm fine Momoicchi…." I said.
"But… but you look lifeless…" she trailed off.
"Really…" I laughed weakly, I looked up the ceiling "I'm just tired from all of this…"
"Ki-chan, I need you to stay here with me, don't do the same again to me" she said.
"Momoicchi…" I lowered my gaze so I could look at her "I can't promise you anything…"
"Ki-chan—"she was cut off.
The door opened and we saw Kasamatsu with our breakfast or lunch or dinner, I don't even know and I didn't care, I just know he brought us our meal. He opened the door of Momoi's cage and handed her the food, he treated us better than the others, and then he came to my cage and handed me my meal.
"Kise, you have to eat more, you are losing too much weight…" he trailed off.
I glared at him "What do you care!?" I yelled angrily.
"Please, listen to—"I cut him off.
"Shut up!" I snapped.
I grabbed the food and I throw it at him, as strong as I could, that wasn't much, he stood and looked at me, his eyes full of pity.
"I don't need shit from you!" I spat.
He closed the door again and looked at me "I'm sorry, but I won't bring you more food" he said and left.
"Like if I care!" I yelled.
I looked at the food from the floor, and I could feel my stomach twitching and swirling with something. I hated this place, I hated him and hated everything; I just was full of hatred towards everything.
"Ki-chan, you can't do that, you have to eat" she said concerned.
"I'm not hungry, I will rather—"I was cut off.
"Ryouta Kise! Don't you dare to end that phrase, when we go out from here I'm going to kick your ass" she yelled.
I laughed weakly "Sorry…" I looked at her apologetic.
"Everything will be fine, they will come to take us back, don't worry" she said.
And I didn't respond, I didn't want to see that bat anymore, I was mad, if I were to see him again…. I don't know what I will do if I were to see him again, I sighed, and I looked up the ceiling, I closed my eyes, trying to lure myself into the dream world.

Akashi awoke from his slumber, he looked around to find himself on his own bed, he sat on the edge of his bed and rubbed his temples, he wondered the one who caught him in such state was, and he didn't want to look that weak, not now from all the times.
He dressed and left the room, he walked through long corridors until he reached the backward, where he saw everyone sitting and talking like if nothing happened, he sighed in relief.
Midorima appeared behind him "Akashi-sama, are you better?"
"Yeah, thank you" the leader answered.
"Don't worry, I didn't tell them" he assured him.
"I see…" he was still fixated looking through the window to the crow that was there.
"Why don't you join them? I'm sure they will be glad, you need to take a res—"he was cut off.
"Thanks, Shintaro, but I still have things to work on" the leader said.
"I don't want to be disrespectful, but I think you should really take a rest" he said.
The leader sighed and looked at him "Fine, I will go with them for a bit"
They both walked through the corridor until they reached the door facing the backward, they turned to face them and the dark haired vampire grinned and rushed to Midorima's side, said vampire looked at him and smiled but as soon as the smile appeared he coughed, embarrassed, the others laughed at his expense.
"Come now, let's not laugh about Shintaro here" the leader said.
"C'mon, Shin-chan, don't be that shy, they all know we are tog—"the dark haired vampire was cut off.
The green haired one coughed "Let's stop talking about me"
Aomine smirked "Oh, c'mon, not need to be so shy Midorima"
"I'm not being shy!" he said aloud.
The dark haired vampire hugged him "Liar" he said.
Midorima features softened and hugged him back, and they all said "Awwwwww" Midorima flushed.
"Come now, you all stop teasing Shintaro" the leader said.
Midorima sighed relieved and looked down, and all he saw was his little vampire wrapped between his arms, beaming at him, then he saw Aomine looking at them, with a longing look, then it hit him, what will have happened if it was Takao the one they took, he will be torn apart. He looked at Aomine and he gave him a weak smile.
Akashi looked at the scene displaying there, he saw how Aomine was looking at the little couple; he clapped his hands calling the attention from all of them.
"Show me what have you learn Tetsuya" the leader spoke.
The smaller convert nodded "As you wish, Akashi-sama"
He started battling with the other three vampires, he was slow but his lack of presence didn't make him an easy target, so he could attack and hit the target, he was quickly to stop the kicks from the others, Akashi was pleased with that, Kuroko was at a good level, he smiled, they were almost ready, but not yet, he couldn't rush anything.
o0o
There I was once again, not knowing in which day I was, here sitting in this hole, my mind was in blank, I couldn't think of anything, Momoi and I just made little talks, she gave up in making it longer because I wasn't very talkative, she just talked to me to check if I was still alive, unfortunately, yeah, my heart keeps beating… I smiled bitterly.
The door cracked open and she turned to face who was coming, I didn't care anymore, the possibilities were two only, or Haizaki or Kasamatsu, and this time it was Haizaki turn to appear. He stopped in front of my cage and looked at me, I just sat there, not even batting an eyelash; he smirked and entered the cage, freeing my ankle.
"Changes of plans" he said.
I didn't even fight while he dragged me out, I had already given up. Momoi looked at me scared, afraid of what might happen to me, I wanted to offered her a smile to reassure her that everything will be fine but I couldn't, she looked at me trying to read me but for the first time she couldn't, because I wasn't myself, I was empty, void of any emotion.
Haizaki dragged me out; I groaned when the light hit my eyes, trying to cover them with his body, he laughed.
"Trying to find comfort in my body" he said.
I didn't even answer, it wasn't even worthy, he looked at me with a raised brow.
"Ryouta, darling, did the news affect you that much?" he asked with a dark grin.
Now that my eyes had more or less got used to the light, I focused them on the floor, it was more interesting than his face, I assure you, he shook me but I didn't answer.
"Don't tell me you became the dull doll I wanted so much, you will make me really happy" he said.
And once again I didn't bother to answer him, he cans think whatever he wants, but I'll never ever be his doll, as he said.
We walked in silence, I guess he got tired from trying and trying, we reached a room and he throw me to the ground, we were on a bathroom, he freed my hands, and I rubbed my swollen wrists, he throw me a towel and clothes, I looked at him.
"Get bathed and don't try anything funny or your little friend will suffer the consequences" he said.
"Why do you want me to take a bath, after who knows how many days have passed" I said.
"Because we are leaving, that's why, and I wouldn't want you to meet our leader like that" he said, pointing at me.
"What about her?" I asked.
"Just get bathed, it's an order" he growled.
I sighed and I looked at him, I gestured him to leave the room but he shook his head, I turned and I started to undress, I looked at my bare chest, now my ribs were showing, I has lost a lot of weight and I felt weak, so fighting him and try to save her wasn't an option, I wouldn't play the hero when I couldn't even barely stand up, so I just bathed.
I sighed contently, and I submerged in the warm water, how much I missed this…
When I was done I got out and I started to dress with the clothes he gave me, when I was done he tied my hands once again, I didn't protest, I just let him do, and then he sat me on the bed, in that room was Kasamatsu, Haizaki left.
"What is going on?" I asked.
He looked at me and sighed "We are leaving the place"
"Why?" I asked.
"That is information I can't give you" he responded.
"What will happen to Momoicchi?" I asked.
"She will be fine" he responded.
As long as she is fine I don't care, I rolled over my stomach, and I curled myself like a ball, I stayed there waiting for… I don't even know how much and for what.
o0o
In a week they will sneak in Haizaki's hideout, Akashi knew all of them were nervous, anxious. What they were going to do could cost them their lives, even he was scared, he didn't know what he will find there, what they will have to fight; Haizaki wasn't a teenager anymore, that will mean he had his own pack. Akashi feared they will be outnumbered by them, which could be the end, he sighed and rubbed his temple, all this thinking was giving him a massive headache.
For orders of Akashi they were to rest and not make anything that will harm them, but this was killing certain vampire, it could be said that he was the one that was most nervous of all of them, in one night he could lose all that was important to him, he was pacing up and down of the corridor when Kagami and Kuroko passed by, and saw how distressed he was.
"Aomine-kun, you should rest" the smaller one said.
"I can't, every time I stay still I start thinking about him, about awful things, and I can't, I just can't" the bluenette said distressed.
Kagami looked at him "Why don't we do something to distract you?" he asked.
"Like what?" he looked at them.
"I don't know, if you had a ball we could play basketball" the red haired one offered.
"That's cheating Kagami-kun, you are a player, and you will win us" Kuroko said.
"What about you both? I mean, you got super speed, I can't fight against that, and besides is just to distract him for awhile" he said.
"Fine, let's do it, I think there was a room where we could play" Aomine said thoughtfully.
The bluenette started walking down the corridor, the other two following him, they walked long hallways, big stairs and passed several rooms, until they reached the deepest part of the castle, it looked more modern than the rest of the castle, Aomine opened a door and Kagami jaw dropped open, what he saw was one of the most incredible courts he ever been in, he walked inside the room and caught one of the balls from the floor, he played a bit to test the room, and he loved it.
"This place is awesome" he said content.
Kuroko looked at him and then at Aomine "He is just like a little kid" he sighed contently.
Aomine looked at both of them "Well, let's play, no?" he said with a smirk.
"How much I've been waiting to hear that" Kagami said with a big grin.
They played all day long, and after all that exercise they were exhausted but more relaxed, because in that moment, even if it was brief they felt like everything was well, they forgot about the nightmare that was chasing them, the enjoyed they little afternoon together, creating a strong bond after that because they kept playing until the day the had to go to save certain blond.
So, what do you think? Yeah, all of you were right, he was the traitor xD
Did you like that little moment of Midotaka?
