"Missing? What do you mean?", Akashi asked while trying his best not to snap. Murasakibara even go as far as to stop his eating session just to hear the talking between the captain and the model. "Yes! The nurse said that there was a visitor before us and then, when one of the nurse wanted to check on Kurokocchi's condition, she says that he disappeared!" Before Akashi could answer, another voice said, "Yeah Akashi. And believe me, Tetsu didn't use his Misdirection for this time now." "Alright. Daiki, Ryota, did you two ask the nurse about the visitor?", Akashi asked. His heart is beating fast despite the effort he put to calm himself. "Oh... Okay, wait a bit Akashicchi", Kise said. Few seconds later, he said, "The nurse said that it's a boy, with black messy short hair, he uh... Wears glasses, and he has red eyes" Akashi's eyes widened. Glasses, short messy hair, red eyes? Akashi can't help but think that the statement is pointing to a certain someone. Murasakibara, who overheard the whole conversation innocently blurts out, "Nee, Aka-chin... Doesn't Fuka-chin also have the same looks like what Ki-chin says?", and then continued to eat his chips. Haoka shook his head, "No way. Yamatochi-sama is being confined, and as far as I know, the security there is pretty tight, so I don't believe that she can break out. Plus, the statement says that it's a 'he', not a 'she', right?" "But Akutarou, think back to Yamatochi's looks", Midorima interrupted as he fixes his glasses' position, "Not that I said it's really her or anything but... Yamatochi does look like a boy a lot, didn't she?", he added. "Hmm, a valid point Shintarou. Ryota, Daiki. Wait in front of the hospital. We're going there", Akashi ordered. "Yes Akashicchi" "Okay Akashi", the blonde and the tanned boy says. And with that, both sides hung up their calls. The quartet then ran to the hospital.

Meanwhile, in a dark alley, a pair of red eyes shines in the dark and scans the area, "... No one here..." His hands are ruffling a certain bluenette'd hair, "My my... Such a soft hair..." Then, he run his hand through the bandaged part of the bluenette's face, "Huh... He's missing an eye? So... She really takes it off, eh?" He hold the bluenette's body, "Geez... He's too cute! I think maybe I can fall in love with this boy...", he chuckled. The said bluenette can only moaned a bit in his sleep. The one who hold him heard some of the words that the bluenette muttered in his sleep, "Aka... Shi... Kun..." "Akashi...? Meh, don't care. Gotta move!", the boy said as he picked the bluenette up and ran to a certain house.

"Akashicchi!", the blonde shout out when he spotted the red head person, making him earn a light smack from his tanned partner, "Oi, no need to be so loud!" Akashi panted a bit due to the running, "Ryota, Daiki, Haoka, Shintarou, and Atsushi. Do any of you have a clue of the culprit?" The rest shook their heads. Akashi grunted when his phone rings. He took out his phone and saw a message in his phone. *Is this Akashi Seijuurou's number?*, that's what Akashi reads. He decided to call the sender instead.

*Beep*

*Beep*

*Beep*

"Hello?", a voice called out. "Where is Tetsuya?", Akashi quickly asked. "Aahh, Akashi, is it?", the voice replied with a cheery tone, almost like Kise's, if it's not for the fact that this is not Kise. "I'll introduce myself and give what you want. Meet me in front of the Yamatochi's house. You know where it is, right?" Does he meant with Fukari's house? The one that was next to Tetsuya's house?, Akashi thought. As if the one who got called can read his mind, he says, "Yep. The one besides Blue Boy's house." "... Alright. I'll go there.", Akashi said. "Oh, and make sure no one from the authorities got involved, 'kay? It'll be bad, y'know?", and just like that, the call got hung up. Akashi put his phone back to his pocket and turned to his friends, "Guys, we're going to Fukari's house." "Okay- Wait, whaaaatt?!", Kise was surprised. Aomine smacked the blonde a bit, "Oi! I said, don't be so loud!" Midorima sighed, "... Quiet, you two." Akashi went to to the said house, along with Haoka and Murasakibara, then quickly followed by Midorima, Aomine, and Kise.


"Aah...", Kuroko began to open his eyes. He opened it slowly as he looked around him. The hospital scenery was gone and replaced by a... Wait, where is he anyways? Looks like a house. He tried to recall what happened back then.


**[Flashback]**

"Nnghh...", Kuroko groaned as he opened up his eye. White wallpaper, EKG beeping, faint smell of medicines and all... He was at the hospital. He tried to rub his left eye when he realized...

His left eye is gone

What happened?, he panicked in his mind. Then, the nurse walked in, "Mr. Kuroko! How fortunate, you have a visitor waiting for you just when you woke up, teehee~" Huh? Who? Akashi-kun?, he hoped. Sadly, when the door opened, it's not the colour of red hair that he saw, rather, it's black. The person walked to the bluenette, "Hi there! Nice to meet ya.", the person said. Kuroko looked at the person before him.

A not-so-tall-but-not-so-short-either boy, black messy hair, wears glasses. His eyes are pure red, reminded him of... "F-Fukari-kun?", Kuroko said unconciously, then covers his mouth immediately. The boy chuckled and ruffled Kuroko's hair, "My my... Hao was right. You are so cute!", then he coughed as if to clear his throat, "Ah, and no. I'm not that sadistic girl, 'kay?" "Then who are you?", Kuroko asked again. The boy took off his glasses and wipe the lenses with his shirt, "I am Yamatochi Fukio, the twin brother of Yamatochi Fukari. Hao, I mean Haoka, told me that my sis is causing trouble here sooo... I came.", he said casually as he put his glasses back on, "Haoka said that my sis got held by the police... Such a shame..." Kuroko only stare at him, "A.. Ano... How do you know me?", he asked. The Yamatochi boy looked at him with disbelief, "Err... Are you kidding me Tsuya?" Kuroko shooked his head. The glasses boy sighed, "I guess that's why you mistaken me with Ri. Well, wha'dya know? It's been 10 years since our last encounter..." 10?, Kuroko was confused.

He never know if he had met the boy before. The boy grinned, "Nee nee, Tsuya, did you forget about me? And Ri? C'mon, we used to be best buddies, y'know..." "I'm sorry, but I don't remember.", Kuroko said truthfully. Fukio tapped his finger to his chin, "Then... How about our parents? That what makes our friendship... Shattered, sadly.", then he covered Kuroko's mouth and nose with a napkin, "I want to make a trade with your buddies to release Ri." "Hmmnnp?!", Kuroko muffled as he tried to struggle. "Sshh... Go to sleep... I won't take revenge on you like my sis did though, haha...", Fukio said as he chuckled.

[**Flashback Ends**]


"Oi, Kuro, you're awake!"

He looked to his kidnapper when he entered, "Yamatochi-kun...?" "Ehehe, calm down, boy. I'm not going to go all psycho like Ri.", Fukio said casually, "Well, a bit, yeah. But not in a sadistic way." Then, he moved his hand towards Kuroko's left eyehole, which luckily was covered by bandages, "Hmm... I'll replace your eye some day, 'kay?" Then, just as he finished that sentence, a knock appeared. "Eh? They came..." "Who are they?" "Your buddies of course, Tsuya.", Fukio chuckled and went to the door and open it, "Hey.. You came. Welcome."

Akashi quickly ask him, "Where is Tetsuya?" "Woah, settle down Rou!", Fukio grinned. The others raised a brow from the nickname. "Oi, why are you taking Tetsu?", Aomine asks with a tone of anger. Again, Fukio replied, "Woah, settle down, Ki." "My name is not Ki, you idiot! It's Aomine Daiki!", Aomine roared. "Hey, it's better than Ahomine!", Fukio defend himself. Akashi can't help but feel that the more Fukio talk, the more distracted they'll be, so again, he go to the point, "Where's Tetsuya?" Fukio pointed upwards, "Upstairs. There's a room not far from the stairs. Oh, and Ki, I took Kuro to tell you guys about something important.", Fukio explained. Akashi was going to go up when he heard the statement. "Hee? Something important? Does it include Kurokocchi?", Kise opened up. Fukio nodded, "Yup. You see Ryou- Oi, Rou. Get Tsuya here and I'll explain everything, 'kay? Please?" "Are you commanding me?", the Red Emperor said. The Yamatochi boy then sighed, "I am asking you, not ordering you." Akashi kept glaring at him. A while later though...

"OKAY OKAY! I'll get Tsuya out! Mmph!", Fukio pouted in defeat and went upstairs. "Hmm.. Something doesn't seem right..", Haoka mumbled. "What is it, Akutaroucchi?", Kise asked. "What Yamatochi-kun said is right... Yet wrong at the same time though...", Haoka said. "Wrong? What do you mean?", Aomine take his turn to ask. Haoka raised his shoulders, "I don't know. Let's wait for Yamatochi-kun."

After a bit while, Kuroko came down with Fukio. After all of them sat on the sofa (which surprisingly, is enough to fit 8 people there), Fukio began to talk, "Tsuya, do you still remember your late parents' job?" Kuroko nodded. "Well... Uh, do you know the cause of your parents' death though?", Fukio scratched his head, hoping to not offend the bluenette with his question. Kuroko shook his head, "No." "Weeeell... Let's just say that, whoever is your parents' last boss, they ordered them to kill our parents, which enrages Ri to go all psycho to you", Fukio said awkwardly.

The room silented, as if no one nor nothing dares to make even the slightest noise. "And how exactly do you know that?", Akashi asked suddenly. "Actually, the one who killed Kuro's parents is their own boss. ", Fukio said casually as if there's nothing happened, "And, they didn't know about Kuro just yet... For now." "Whoa whoa wait. You mean, Tetsu's being targeted?", Aomine interrupts. Fukio nodded, "It wouldn't be much longer until they know though..." Akashi looked at Kuroko and Kuroko looks back, only to wince a bit when he saw a possesive aura surrounds the Red Emperor. "But for what motive? That I still haven't find out.", Fukio added, "Ri is good at speculating things. I'm just an evidence-finder, so to say." Again, the room became silent.

The silence stayed, only to be broke out by the sound of a pair of metal scissors' blade, "In that case... I'll make sure that Tetsuya will be under my watch. I won't let anything nor anyone take him away.", Akashi said. Haoka was surprised, "Eh? But you're just a teenager, not to mention a high schoo- AAHH!", Haoka jumped off the sofa to dodge the flying scissors. "Oh, and if I'm correct, since you guys have a 3 week vacations, I think those guys will also look for Kuro.", Fukio said then turned to Kuroko, "Look who's the lucky boy 'ere, haha. You got Rou and the Miracles on your side. Oh, and about your left eye... I won't hesitate to give you mine if you want.", he said with a smile. "T-That's okay. I can manage with my eye for now, Yamatochi-kun.", Kuroko said. "Well", Akashi stood up and gestured for the Generation of Miracles to stand up as well, "We are thank you for your information, Fukio but now, we have to go. We have a training to do." Fukio nodded, "Alright! Take care!" "I'll stay here", Haoka said.


After the Generation of Miracles left, leaving Haoka and Fukio alone, "Why don't you tell them?", Haoka asked. "Eehh? Tell 'em what?", Fukio asked back. Haoka facepalmed, "Tell them about why this so-called organisation wants Kuroko Tetsuya. As far as I know, he doesn't pose any threats." Fukio tapped his finger on his chin, "Like I said, that's Ri's specialty, not mine.", then he stood up, "Oi, Hao, tell me where's Ri's prison is, will ya?" Haoka chuckled, "Okay. Come on, I'll show you the way."


And with that, they left the house after Fukio securely locked it. No one notice that there are some pairs of eyes are watching them. "Well... This is going to be an easy task."


A/N: Hmm... How long has it since my last update? A week? More than that, I guess. ;~; Sorry! I got Writer's Block and I got grounded. Anyways, this is probably the longest chapter I've typed (minus A/N, LOL). X'D Thanks for those who read and review this story of mine! QwQ
