~Dear readers... I am really sorry about the hiatus status so far. Instead of getting inspirations, i had exams and more stress that ended up pressurizing me to sit at my table and make excessive notes for my history and other subjects. I know I may be disappointing in my updates as they are irregular but i hope you would understand where I'm coming from... this is a terribly busy year as I have major exams round the corner. once again, I'm sorry for the late updates! I hope you enjoy this chapter :D oh and thank you for all the comments so far~
So, it's finally the day of the wedding and things were going very smoothly as planned but there was something amiss...
Akashi wore a white tuxedo with a red tie which resembled the colour of his fiery hair. Kuroko wore a grey coat which complemented his teal hair and the white long sleeved shirt had a teal coloured bowtie fastened around the collar. Midorima had a green tie which went well with his black coat and he even had to get a "carebear" large plush which was green to match as it was his lucky item for the day... Aomine in a full black suit with a dark blue tie fastened around his neck made him look too proper and the coat was restricting his actions making him feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, his partner, kise has dawned on a white suit with a *Boutonniere (yellow rose of course...)
Aomine felt too prim and proper so he loosened his tie but was glared at by the former team captain which then forced him to fix the tie. He complied without any signs of protest in fear of the scissors that was placed in Akashi's tux breast pocket instead of a flower... Kise went over immediately to help his aomine with the tie like any typical housewife which made midorima look away thinking about the other day when he stayed over at takao's place... forced to stay over... (but that's another story so he pushed the scene out of his mind and focused on what was on hand.)
The pretty bride wore a long white sweetheart dress with ornaments and sequins that glittered under the light. The white dress complimented her cherry pink hair which was tied in a high bun. Her body curves were enhanced due to the tight fit dress and the sweetheart cut at the front boosted her proud cleavage.
Everything seemed to be perfect, the plan was so far smooth going... then maybe its a little too peaceful that made midorima feel rather suspicious of the surroundings... but they were well prepared for the plan and alerting them with a false alarm wouldn't do them any good so he kept quiet about it. However, he kept a close eye on everything.
*phone ringing*
"what's the matter otou-san?... eh? An accident?!
I'll be there immediately!... no, it's okay... I'll call Temari."
The teen looked down, hoping that his teal locks would be able to hide some parts of his face... He had mixed feelings... Flustered a little but what he felt in his heart, only or just maybe. Maybe Akashi might find out...
"Kurokocchi? What happened? What accident?"
"..."
"ah gomen... I... I need to leave... O..Okaa-san... accident..."
The teal hair teen was shaking and he staggered towards the door while the other teens looked at him with so much concern in their eyes...
Kuroko lost his balance but stuck out his hands a little too late to break his fall. He was so shaken by the phone call... Just as he squeezed his eyes shut, he felt warmth surrounding his body. Warmth embraced him and the ever-so-familiar scent filled his nose...
Akashi had managed to grab hold of Kuroko (akashi's speed when it comes to saving his Tetsuya or basketball...) seeing how the teen was so close from coming in contact with the hard marble floor... (surely, not something you'd like to "hug")
"aka...akashi-kun..."
"Tetsuya... What happened?"
Kuroko was still shaking but the warm embrace has eased some of his nerves... He held tightly on to Kuroko's arm and helped him to the couch
He told the group what he heard from his father over the phone...
Kuroko's mother, Ayame, was on the plane to Japan. Seeing the pictures of her children(when Temari visited Kuroko) made her miss the times they spent as a family... Missing the eldest child the most since he was left in Japan to fend for himself while the family moved to the States. She felt guilty for not visiting him, for not being a good mother, for not being there for him when he probably needed her the most. She was guilty of all sorts of crime she convicted herself with...
Unfortunately, the plane Kuroko's mother was on had some complications and made a crash landing in Narita Airport... Many passengers where injured and rushed to the hospitals. Temari and her father was lucky... They took the flight to Japan a day before and were safe but lady luck was not on Ayame's side...
The family had planned to have a reunion since it was the holidays and well, the parents missed their eldest child while the sister misses her loving brother...
"Shintaro, get a car ready." Midorima left without a word. His serious and deadly look... could not match the large green "carebear" he held by the arm arm...
Akashi lifted Kuroko from the couch and wanted to walk him down to the car but 12 men donned in black appeared, blocking the red head from leaving...
"Get out of my way"
His hand moved towards his breast pocket which held his red scissors...He did not wish to spill blood in front of his Tetsuya but if he has to, he will.
"sorry. we are not allowed to let Akashi Seijuro leave."
Aomine and Kise rushed up and tried to help Akashi and Kuroko leave together but they were too weak for the 4 who stepped forward (they couldnt even deal with one by themselves). The fought hard, exchanging blows, desperate to help the (hopeless) pair (who had so much problems in their relationship). The love-guru, Kise, saw through their struggles and have constantly tried to cheer them on (in the shadows, of course. If made known to Akashi, he may lose his head or have that pair of scissors stabbed right into his heart)
Akashi was no doubt very strong but taking on 5 at a time was not as easy as it seemed... Murasakibara had 3 surrounding him.
"OW! How dare you bruise a model's face!" Kise shrieked as one of the men punched him right in the face.
Seeing Kise surrounded by 2 of the 12, worst still, Kise's lip had bleed due to a punch... Aomine snapped.
Aomine is strong. He had learned many martial arts since young... He was always at the top for competitions by he was never crowned as 1st. Always the 2nd or 3rd... Whenever he saw Akashi at the competition hall, he knew that he would either get the 2nd place or the 3rd again. Both of them were very strong but Aomine lacked the will to become stronger...
Akashi knew that his strength will give him authority (even if its controlling by instilling fear). His word would be absolute and well, the traits he inherited pushed him to become stronger for himself.
Whereas, Aomine did martial arts because he was bullied when he was younger. He was very tan and didnt fit in so he was often laughed at or teased. He didnt want to accept such bitter fate so he wanted to be stronger. Once the bullying stopped, he had no reason to continue strengthening himself so he became lax hence, never winning Akashi.
Aomine rushed forward, throwing his opponents who came at him. He reached out his hand towards Kise... Lifting Kise's chin to have a closer look at the wounded lip...
"A...Aominecchi!" He tried to remove himself from Aomine's grip but to no avail...
Aomine's grip tightens and his free hand grabs Kise's arm and Kise flinches and whines that Aomine was hurting him, hurting the wound which was covered by the shirt..
"damn that guy.. how dare he wound those lips... and your body... which belongs to me"
Kise blushed but Aomine was serious. He was annoyed that an insignificant bastard had the audacity to hurt his possession. Even though Aomine was cursing under his breath, Kise could hear every word clearly...
Aomine went to assist Akashi and Murasakibara.
