AN: this is by far the most difficult chapter i've written so far.
BarrierRing- when a barrier is set, it usually leaves a faint ring ( sometimes a square, depending on the barrier's shapewhere it meets the ground.
" We've already tried using PassageQuarter and spell; No magic is working that well here, Shintaro. While you're out there, looking for a barrier, a charm, anything that can hold the forces of magic still." Akashi added. The PaigeMirror began to dim along with the BrightSpite's light.
"Please hurry and get the others."
"Roger that." was the last thing Midorima said before the paiger went out.
" You alright Tetsuya?"
"I'm fine. Whatever is holding back the magic is hurting me when I use so much at once."
"Hurting?" Akashi called forth a flame in his palm. It brightened up the space immensely,but went out not long after, leaving a sting . " It reminds me of what Tanaka gave me to keep me under his control, just less potent." Kuroko commented, holding the BrightSpite in cupped hands. Its gleam flickered similar to a weakening light bulb. He sat down to lean against the wall.
"So where are you from, Tetsuya? I know you traveled a lot." the flamethrower ask out of the blue.
"Most north of Teiko region. My parents bounced around often, never told me why. As i grew up I assume that troublesome things would happen if we didn't. One day, my mother sent me to a nearby village to pick up somethings. When I came back... everyone was gone. What about you , Akashi-kun?" Kuroko said with indifference, but Akashi could see sadness in his sapphire eyes.
" I come from Rakuzan. Mother passed when I was young. Father tried to sell me when I was 15, so I set him and everything ablaze. A couple months later, I met Shintaro and his family took me in for about three years."
" You two do seem like siblings…" the ice mage mumbled, the light began to dim down.
"Tetsuya?" Akashi scooted over and shook his shoulder. Kuroko fell asleep
"What the hell? Why isn't any magic working?" Aomine fumed. After hearing about the farmhouse collapsing from the cleric via PaigerMirror, the other three rushed over.
" I told you Ahomine that there's something interfering with magic might. We either unbury them by hand or find whatever is block it out." Midorima explained. Murasakibara felt around for a BarrierRing and found one, a thin one, several meters from the house. "Is there anything we can do to help him take down it down, Murasakibaracchi?" Kise and his duplications echoed. " Nah, it's just gonna take awhile, Kichin."
" I suggest we started moving the debris while we wait."
Kuroko's head rested on Akashi shoulder. Soft snores filled the closed space. If the Akashi listened carefully, he could hear the bickering of his teammates from above. Perhaps we should have called Momoi instead.
Roughly five hours later, the defense mage call it quits. " Make barriers, not take them down. It would have been better to ask Momochin to break it." "That would have been nice to know about four hours ago, Murasakibara" Aomine muttered as he and Kise pulled the wooden peanut beams from the pile of farmhouse. The tall earthbender pushed over a fallen wall.
As debris from overhead was disturbed, dust and smaller rubble joined them in the basement. I hope they're not burying us anymore than we already are. "Tetsuya." Akashi patted his cheek in efforts to awake him. "Tetsuya, it's time to wake up." Kuroko groaned in response. The Bright Spite relit,the flakes and grits falling became visible. " Ah, did I fall asleep? My apologies, Akashi-san." Kuroko released the source of light and let it drift in the air to stretch.
" They others are removing the mess above us, I recommend that we should be prepared. Knowing Daiki, he'll make a mess somehow."
The Miracles on the ground managed to clear away the farmhouse remains and pulled the flamethrower and ice mage out. With everyone covered in dirt and grime, they all silently decided to continue the search tomorrow and return home.
" So how was the searching?" Takao asked, amused. "Please shut up, Takao." Midorima asked, making his way to the bathrooms.
" I shall return in the morning. Goodbye." Kuroko bade before turning on his heel and leaving.
AN: Shorter chapter because i can't write anything else atm. I think im getting writer's block. Ughh this stinks i wanna keeping going but i have no idea where to go. im scared i wont be able to get over this and will have to either go on hiatus or drop the fic. So ill try reading around and write little things to get over it.
I'll be holding back Kuroko's profile back until everything's revealed and there arent spoilers.
