Kicchin here everyone and another update for MONOGATARI! Sorry to keep you guys waiting, my laptop is bitching and I just have to update before my Toshiba says goodbye, which I must say is very disastrous since it means I have to buy a new one. If I don;t update now who knows if I would ever be able to post this chapter ( Q A Q ) Anyhow, yeah this is Chapter 14, so many action scenes which I am very afraid that I may not have done justice to(you tell me). Its been a while since I started writing this chapter but I just finished it today which means I revised it for a few times now LOL. So thankful yeah I am able to update this, thanks to neighbor-san's wifi and my laptop being nice tonight. Aside from the actions and stuffs, UKEs will have their interaction again. As I am posting this I am unto writing the following chapter which is well quite a chapter, I've been getting help from my friend(oh BTW he actually passed the exam of this very known university in the Philippines, damn that genius of a bastard LOL)who had been giving advise how to make the next chapter and the following which will have really conflicting AkaFuri, hohoho, are you ready? Can their family handle what's about to happen next?

And for the reviewers again, THANK YOU, we've reached almost 3K views! ISN'T THAT GREAT! Thank you everyone for supporting Monogatari and Kicchin. I will do my best! To Bubbles9595 there's a lot of happening in this chapter a lot of interactions between the vampires, kuroko and kagami especially, and yeah Haizaki plus...*smirks* someone who well you probably know from S1 of KnB. Oh and about Vlad, he'll have a part on thsi story but not much since i didn't put it up for a crossover-but trust me when I say, he's...a contributor to the spins of the story, if you could remember I mentioned another name a few chapters before *winks winks* it has to do with that, and you'll see what I mean on the following chapters. This chapter's title is similar to Matsushita-san's last album he made as a solo artist, lol we're almost the same but for me I started knowing him from the song TRUST ME that he sang for Durarara which led me noticing that he was the same voice behind the ending song of Kuroshoitsuji's BIRD, and I totally became an avid fan when I watched his Kuroshitsuji Musical, The Most Beautiful Death in The World. Thank you and hope you like this chapter too! For Epipelagic-san, ohohoho yes the climaxxxx its...*drum rolls*. Thank you my friend had the same answer so I decided to leave the story as it is. And I hope you enjoy this chapter as well!. For fujoshinechan oh no, I am not bored actually I look forward to your reviews every update-everyone as well, I just love reading them they keep me motivated and it reminds me someone is reading this fic and sharing your thoughts on the story gives me ideas too on how to improve so I;m happy. And yeah sometimes it scares me how Haizaki looks as ruthless as Aomine lol, IDK Kise is shipped with Haizaki too sometimes in a few fics, LOL I still prefer AOKISE though, since Aomine has similarities with Haizaki with their demeanor, buuut with the exception of skills in which he is most likely similar to Kise's. BTW i placed in this chaoter Haizaki's skill meaning...SPOILER ALLLERT, sorry but just can;t keep my finger from typing that part. i like how Haizaki's ability is same with Kise with only a few differences. And yeah I remember that when I was watching I was laughing while thinking, the hell is this FREE crossover? LOL and about Akafuri LOL we'll see, we'll see what happens *smirks*.

Chapter 14: Whisper my Name

Kagami stared at the blade inches away from his face, blood dripping from the tips of it. He blinked as he felt the blood drip to his cheek. His eyes hesitantly stared again to the blade tracing it, it was stuck in a flesh, and it was bleeding, he traced the shoulder and then he came to meet Kuroko's face pained. When the sight registered to his brain his nerves went haywire, he felt blinding anger in his whole body. Kuroko opened his eyes, he winced in pain but he smiled—albeit sadly—to Kagami. Reaching to Kagami's face Kuroko caress the skin, "A-Are you hurt?" Kuroko's voice was faint and just fragile. Kagami's walls broke as he heard Kuroko groan in pain as the blade was pulled out ruthlessly off him. Kuroko collapsed over him. Kagami found the wound was not just a cut, it reached quite deep and was now bleeding, nonstop. Why can't it stop bleeding? Vampires are supposed to heal themselves quickly right?

Haizaki laughed maniacally as he swung the blade, Kagami cradled the weak body in his arms, as he sat up glaring at Haizaki. "What did you do you fucking bastard!" he growled, Kuroko's breath was ragged and pained.

"Oh, I didn't see that coming," Haizaki said looking at Kuroko, "Oh well, its just his shoulder, he can manage."

"YOU FUCKER!"

"Well I was supposed to kill you but then little angel has to be the hero shielding you, so there you go." He said shrugging before lifting the dagger to his eye level, Kuroko's blood stayed in the blade, contrary to normal vampire's blood, the teal haired blood didn't even burn in it. "Seems like it is indeed effective, he did get cut…quiet thoroughly." He said smirking.

Kagami turned to Kuroko, the wound was on his shoulder, and it was bleeding too much. Kagami didn't know what to do, he wasn't thought how to treat a vampire when he was training to be a firefighter. Damn he had no idea what to do and the blood kept flowing, Kuroko was getting paler and paler by the moment. "I can't have him dying now though," Haizaki said frowning. Kagami could care less of whatever the shit Haizaki was sputtering, he needs to do something now. Like really, now. Kagami's eyes widen when he heard something strange, he turned and found Haizaki flying across the room and landing square on the wall, the impact was so great that the wall cracked and Haizaki looked like fly stuck in the wall. Kagami turned to where Haizaki stood, four figures stood there, his brother's boyfriend, Murasakibara, the crimson haired psycho vampire, the tanned grumpy policeman, and the green haired bespectacled one. "Tetsu!" Aomine quickly rushed to them with a worried face.

"Shinataro aid Tetsuya, now." Akashi said. Midorima nodded and followed Aomine.

"What happened here?" Aomine asked. Kagami growled as he tightened his embrace to Kuroko, his feral instincts were taking over, he was afraid to hand over his injured partner. Midorima looked at Aomine sending a silent message to back off. Aomine understood, after all he has Kise, the guy acted the same way when Kuroko provoked the other.

"Kagami, if you hold him any tighter his injuries may get worst." Midorima tried to reason with the alpha. Kagami stared at them hard. "Kagami, you're hurting Kuroko."

At that Kagami responded, his eyes soften as he slightly loosen his hold.

"Lay him down on his back," Midorima instructed, "I need to look at his injuries."

Kagami reluctantly lay Kuroko on the floor. Kagami caress Kuroko's cheek before taking the small hand in his. Midorima watched the display of attachment of an alpha to the turned. It was said that the usually is very possessive towards his turned, this was the kind of attachment an alpha would display. Midorima then turned to Kuroko's injuries. He quickly found himself gasping at the sight, this kind of cut…it isn't healing not because Kuroko is weak and hasn't eaten yet—it was because it was made so it won't. For a mere turned like Kuroko, getting this kind of cut will be fatal. This kind of cut only that blade could do. Midorima quickly turned where Akashi and Murasakibara were, "Akashi he has the blade!"

Akashi smirked as he walked to the werewolf, Haizaki who was slumping on the floor a moment ago stood. His body morphed quickly, his limbs started getting silver fur covering, and his hands were turning to claw like sharp paws. Haizaki smirked at the red haired vampire swinging the blade before him. "Your little angel is some brave soldier," Haizaki said, "you must be proud—ugh!" he was suddenly cut off when Akashi disappeared from his line of sight and appeared right in front of him and without batting an eye he felt a strong force in his gut causing him to fall in his knees. Haizaki coughed blood clutching his injury, despite Akashi's small stature, he was indeed strong. His force reeks of darkness, a kind of darkness he could not even describe.

"Insolent filthy dog," Akashi said glaring down at the werewolf. "I only permit those who serve under me to look at me in the eyes."

Haizaki quickly reached for the blade and swung to Akashi using his position in advantage to swung lower to probably the least guarded part of Akashi's body, his limbs. But Akashi had seen this, his Emperor Eye shone and changed, his pupils morphing into cat like slits. Effortlessly Akashi made a swift stepped back effectively avoiding the attack. It was only when Akashi had landed back again in his two feet that he felt an unusual presence, as he was about to turn—

BANG!

"Aka-chin!"

"Akashi!"

Akashi was quick enough to make a turn to minimize the probable major injury he could have gotten. He hissed and quickly clutch his forearm, a painful burning sensation spread to the area as blood ooze from the wound. Akashi turned and found the bullet on the floor, a silver bullet. Akashi turned to the source and found a familiar figure walking towards them. Murasakibara quickly went to Akashi as he took a defensive stance. Aomine snarled angrily fangs showing, Midorima's eyes glowed as he turn to the new intruder. "Took you long enough asshole." Haizaki said smirking wiping the blood off the side of his mouth as he welcome his accomplice, "Hanamiya."

Himuro pointed at the dark blue sedan, Furihata followed the two. Takao ran to the car and quickly opened the door to the driver's seat and slid to it closing it and starting up the car's engine. Furihata noted the figure sitting in the backseat, through the distance Furihata could still make out the starnger's color of the hair, it was blonde. As they made it to the car, Himuro opened the door to the backseat for Furihata revealing the blonde lad who sat there. Furihata nodded and slid to the seat before Himuro closed it hurrying to the passenger seat next to the driver's. When all was in the car, Takao started to drive out of the parking lot.

Furihata turned to the lad sitting next to him, he had his head ducked in a very shy manner. Furihata noted the lad's face has quite some bruises and cuts, but nonetheless he was a very good looking man. His hair is like golden threads, and his eyes were amber like gems, and his skin is a very beautiful like a model's. Somehow Furihata thought of how different his world is with Akashi, not in the sense of vampires and humans, but in the sense of Akashi is surrounded with these dazzling creatures. Somehow he felt like the odd ball among them. Himuro looked up through the rear view mirror looking at the two at the backseat. Since fetching Kise from his apartment, the half human, half fox demon had kept quiet, perhaps still feeling guilty about what happened between him and Kuroko. Himuro could not offer the right consolation either though, to be honest, he himself is wary of the fox demon. After all he had no idea of the creature's capabilities. Takao his wide range view found Himuro's quite trouble expression and decided to speak up, "Furihata-kun, he's Kise-kun." He said without turning away from the road, "He's Aomine's boyfriend." Takao smirked as he found Kise exploding into thousand shades of red before ducking his head in embarrassment.

Furihata turned face forward to the two at the front seat, "Who is…Aomine?"

"He's Shin-chan's little brother, and since Shin-chan and Akashi are brothers, it means he's also Akashi's brother." Takao answered.

"Oh," Furihata turned to look at Kise politely bowing his head, "Nice meet you, Kise-san. I'm Furihata Kouki."

Himuro turned to the backseat smiling as he found Kise shyly raising his head and meeting Furihata's eyes, "N-Nice meeting you, F-Furihata-kun." Kise replied. Himuro turned to Takao smiling gentley, Takao nodded sending an approval of Himuro's thoughts. They understood now, this was what Akashi fell for. Gentleness, innocence, and all of that subtleness, it was all Furihata Kouki. Takao smiled, Kise had opened up quickly all because of Furihata. He was Akashi in a different perspective, he leads using gentle words, the complete opposite of Akashi's.

Furihata wondered why the blonde was fidgeting, and fumbling with the hem of his cream colored sweatshirt. He looked uneasy, anxious, nervous as if he was standing in front of a thousand and one number of people. "It's going to be okay." Furihata said, he didn't know why was it the words he chose to say then, but he know somehow Kise needed it. And like a magic the blonde turned to all eyes on him, and his fidgeting stopped, a small smile replacing his frown. Furihata noted how much that look better in him—his smile. "We'll meet them, alright?"

"…Meet?" Kise asked, "W-We'll…see Aominecchi?"

"W-We'll see Aominecchi?" Kise asked facing the front seats, a tint of excitement was found in his voice.

Takao shook his head with a smile, he was indeed one heck of human, "Yeah." He answered the blonde.

"B-But A-Aominecchi said I should stay home." Kise said, Furihata smiled as he saw a hint of an underlying want to do what was exactly opposite of it.

"Yeah, but Furihata-kun said its okay." Himuro said smiling, "And besides, why are they treating us like this, excluding us in such important matter."

"Agree!" Takao said, "I mean we're family, how dare they leave us behind and tell us to stay put, damn we're not girls!"

"Family…" Kise muttered under his breath. He was being considered a family. A warm feeling spreading his chest, Kise felt tears in his eyes with the overwhelming feeling. The feeling of belongingness, of familial love, for the first time ever, he was filled of it. Furihata smiled as he found Kise smiling gently. "I…am…a family?"

Himuro turned to him with a smile, "Of course, didn't we just said we?"

"So Kise-kun, lend us your strength." Takao said.

Kise looked away quite shy, "B-But I…if you didn't notice I'm…"

"A kitsune? Yeah, we know that part. Which is why," Takao chuckled, "lend us your strength."

Kise had never felt so needed, so welcome in his entire life until now. Even after they found out about him, even after injuring one of them, even after being different, they still smiled at him, gave him such concern, such greeting, and they even asked him to fight along with them. "I-I will do my best!" he answered with a firm resolution.

"Eh, k-kitsune?!" Everyone turned to Furihata, Takao chuckling as he exclaimed. "K-Kise-kun…is a kitsune?"

Kise turned to Furihata reluctantly looking at him, "A-Are you scared…Furihata-kun?" he asked. To Kise's surprise Furihata held both Kise's shoulders looking at him straight in the eyes.

.

.

.

"YOU'RE SO COOL!" Furihata exclaimed shaking Kise. Takao burst laughing, Himuro meanwhile almost choked from his laughter. Furihata is indeed some strange human, he was not at all scared rather excited meeting a fox demon. "Na, c-can I see your ears, o-or uhm, your tails, h-how many do you have Kise-san?"

"Eh," Kise was confused too. Studying Furihata well he found the boy was human, yes completely human, no taint of vampire in him and yet, he's this ecstatic about him—a fox demon? "a-aren't you scared?"

"No way!" Furihata exclaimed, "Kitsune are so cool, I mean I see them in manga and TV, damn I didn't know they're real, and here you are Kise-san."

"Na, do it Kise-kun, Furihata-kun's curious." Himuro said smiling, Furihata is just simple, plain and maybe this was what Akashi needs, something true, someone like him.

Kise nodded. Taking off his human form Kise let his fox demon form took over, a pair of golden fox ears and nine fluffy golden tails appeared from his body, Furihata's eyes lit like Christmas lights. Kise had never met a human this happy to see this form of his, mostly they scamper away, screaming, scared. Furihata smiled grew bigger as Kise wags his tails, Kise chuckled at Furihata's amusement. "U-Uhm, Kise-san can I uhm—"

"You may touch them, its alright." Kise said, for the first time in the hands of a human, he felt how it is to be accepted…as this, as a half human and fox demon. Furihata hesitantly brought his hand to one of KIse's tails that were swinging in the cramped space. An involuntary purr escaped Kise when Furihata caressed the tail, for a moment he remembered the fleeting memory of his mother. Furihata laughed at Kise's purr.

"Its so cool!" Furihata said smiling.

Kise shook his head, "No…Its Furihatacchi who's really cool."

"Human weapons had gotten real good don't you think?" Hanamiya said as he pointing the gun at Akashi, then to Murasakibara before laughing. "Its easy to make silver bullets, then add up to normal guns, then well you have a nice shining weapon against the Miracles."

Akashi clutched his arms, the bleeding will not stop, unless he gets to drink a human blood, which is impossible at the moment. Hanamiya Makoto, this half blooded werewolf, had been one of the barbaric members of the faction called Kirisaki Dai Ichi filled with werehumans. The half blood loves to trash around, break rules, and hunt Kuroko then, he thought he died during the massacre, but unfortunately that was not the case as he could see it. He cursed the second he focused all his attention to Haizaki, the insolent werewolf used it perhaps to distract him from Hanamiya's presence. Silver is vampires and werewolves weakness, they leave burning sensation to the affected area, the wound will not simply close either, it would continue bleeding until they feed.

Aomine stood from his position, "Kagami…protect Tetsu, no matter what." Kagami nodded as Aomine walked to Akashi's side, Midorima did the same and went up to Akashi.

"Its been a while, Kiseki no Sedai." Hanamiya said with a smirk. "How are the humans?"

"What do you intend to do?" Midorima asked bluntly, "Luring us surely isn't worth the risk just to get us killed."

Haizaki laughed, "Well aren't you just confident."

"Hn, of course what can you do anyway." Aomine said smirking.

Haizaki smiled at him and shrugged. Akashi felt something, he quickly moved his eyes, Aomine who was quick to react tried to catch the movement but he was too late. He moved a second later to the other, he stopped quickly in his tracks unable to do anything. A loud crash resounded in the room as Kagami was thrown off from Kuroko and now his brother's small weak and bleeding figure was held by Hanamiya, the gun aimed at the teal haired vampire's head.

"We can do a lot," Hanamiya said mockingly, "like throwing off a human and killing your precious little brother."

Everyone was frozen in their feet, Hanamiya smirked as he found Kuroko's bleeding shoulder, running his hand over it Akashi and Aomine's eyes glowed furiously while Murasakibara's usually bored face turned frightening along with his intimidating height, while Midorima's cool façade broke, anger visible in his face. "Let him go!" Aomine exclaimed his voice roaring in the old manor. Everyone gasped as Hanamiya sadistically clutched Kuroko's injured shoulder causing the teal haired vampire to shriek.

"Kuroko!" Midorima was about to lurched forward when Hanamiya smirked again raising the gun to Kuroko's head, "Let's see which is faster, the bullet to your brother's head, or…you?"

"You fucking bastard!" Aomine growled as he turned back to Haizaki. He quickly made his way to Haizaki as he was in front of Haizaki he launched a punch which Haizaki quickly shielded by raising his arm, Aomine looked to Haizaki's left as Haizaki guarded his left Aomine's limbs moved right and from there went to Haizaki's back. Aomine quickly aimed for the back of Haizaki's knee but as he was about to give it a powerful kick Haizaki moved his legs similar to how Akashi avoided his attack earlier. Aomine was caught off guard for a moment, as Haizaki turned to face him with a smirk, he made a counter and threw a punch at Aomine, despite the Aomine's slightly disorientation he was able to dodge the punch only to find Haizaki making a quick an fluid turn to his back. Aomine's eyes widen, did he just…copied him? Aomine waited for Haizaki to aim at his knee but what came next was different. "Achk!" Aomine hiss as he felt a burning sensation in his inside as the silver dagger punctured to his side, Akashi who was so engrossed with Kuroko's sight only noticed then that Haizaki had made it to Aomine's back. Pulling the blade off from Aomine's body, Haizaki quickly made way to his earlier position. Everyone had turned their eyes on Haizaki as Aomine fell on his knees. Akashi turned to Aomine but the blue haired vampire only shook his head saying he is alright. Akashi using his Emperor eye accessed Aomine's injury, thankfully though it was deep it didn't hit any vital organs in his body.

Akashi glared dangerously at Haizaki, as if a he was a ticking bomb he could feel anger, and malice fill him, bits by bits now. It was only a matter of moment.

Murasakibara was about to go for Haizaki when Midorima stopped him. "Mido-chin," he said as if warning the other that if he do not move he'll make him, as his eyes shone dangerously. Midorima returned the gesture his eyes glowing.

"You would put us in more danger if you make any moves." Midorima said, before looking at Haizaki. He remember Haizaki now. He remember that werewolf that Nijimura once made a wrong thought of trusting, a werewolf who had a very interesting ability—if only he would have followed the rules, if only he stopped preying on innocent humans. "Skill Theif." Midorima said out loud. He was called a Skill Theif, or just Theif by the Household, as a cub he had such strange skill to copy his companions skills, even vampires and by doing so enabling them to use the skill again. The only thing for sure he could not copy was Kuroko's illusions.

"My, I'm glad you remember." Haizaki said smirking as he looked at the blade, Aomine's blood sizzled on the metal like oil to a hot pan. "I'm flattered."

Murasakibara growled angrily. "Using Kuro-chin as bait and now hurting Mine-chin, I'll make you pay!"

Kuroko's eyes fluttered open, though he was feeling real weak, he had been hearing his brothers' voices. Cracking his eyes open he felt the familiar seering pain in his shoulder, and his body felt extremely weak. He found himself being held by someone, bigger. This scent…-Kuroko weakly turned and found Hanamiya Makoto holding him with a cold metal pressed to his temples—a gun. His eyes scanned the room, everything is in havoc, he could hear Midorima saying something, he could feel his brothers' anger, the scent of danger thick in the air. On the floor he found blood, no, it wasn't his…it was…Aomine's. Aomine is injured. He felt his heart race, but his body felt so weak, he couldn't even bring himself to lift a finger. He couldn't hear clearly, but from what he could make out it seems like he is being used as a hostage against his brothers. Akashi was blazing in the corner, Kuroko could barely recognize him, it was not his brother. This wasn't the Akashi that had lived with them, this Akashi is just one livid and mad vampire ready to kill at the tick of the moment.

Despite Kuroko's faint consciousness, and fuzzy vision, he found himself feeling a familiar presence, but this time it was full of anger, full of brute force. He could hear his name being called, but somehow no one in the room seems to hear it…no one but him. Before he knew it he found himself getting thrown off down the floor, he was conscious enough to made it so he would land on the floor less painfully using his arms to shield himself from directly hitting the surface. A loud crash was heard in the room. When Kuroko turned, he found Kagami brawling against Hanamiya who had turned to his wolf form. Kagami pushed the werewolf down and without wasting any moment fired a punch after one, after another. Aomine who was watching the scene felt awed, Haizaki himself felt quite frightened by the display, if Hanamiya was human, one punch with that force would crush not just all the bones but all his organs. One punch with such force would deliver a normal human in his grave without a doubt. To think that Kagami is a human at that made Haizaki scared even more, he would surpass Akashi if he ever became a vampire. His punch cut through the air as they landed to Hanamiya's face.

But nonetheless, Kagami is still human. Hanamiya caught his fist before it landed again in his face with all his strength he went straight for Kagami's neck with a vice grip. Kagami choked and the moment his human body reacted Hanamiya was able to turn the table for his favor. "That was dangerous." Hanamiya chuckled, a blood dripping from his mouth. "Ah, good thing you're so human."

Kuroko felt his heart skipped a beat, Hanamiya was strangling Kagami's neck, if he could stay like that for any more seconds, he would be killing the human. Despite his condition Kagami still glared daggers at Hanamiya, "Y-YOU…F-Achk!" Kagami's words died down as Hanamiya tightened his grip. Kuroko's eyes widen, frightened, his heart beating faster than ever. He could hear Kagami's raising pulse.

Aomine took the moment as Haizaki was engrossed watching Hanamiya torture Kagami to attack. Akashi did the same, he swiftly moved and waited as Aomine's agile movement made through Haizaki. Haizaki was late to notice and found Aomine already delivering a roundhouse kick, he barely was able to shield himself but it was futile as Akashi went up to his back elbowing him in the neck with force equal to a grand piano smashing against him. Haizaki fell face first to the floor.

Hanamiya turned to Haizaki clicking his tongue, he could not leave him be as much as he wants, his death means his death too. Turning to Kagami he found the human was barely breathing, he was pale blue already that made him laughed. He was strong, but he needed to be more than strong to kill him. Without thinking Hanamiya let go and Kagami fell to the floor unconscious. Kuroko gasped as he heard Kagami's heart beat turning faint. "My, he was a nice challenge though, to think the Kiseki No Sedai would entrust their precious little angel to a human." Hanamiya laughed. Kuroko didn't know what to do, his body is as weak as it is, he couldn't protect him anymore. He couldn't—his eyes widen as he saw Kagami's eyes cracked open turning to him. A small smile spreading in his lips.

.

.

.

"i…love you."

BANG!

Akashi's movement stopped, he turned away as he let his brothers continue their brawl against the werewolf. Then time stopped. Everything turned gray…and all he saw was blood…everywhere.

No…It…can't be…

I…failed…I couldn't protect them…

I didn't protect them…

I failed Shuuzo…

Tetsuya's…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kagami's scream roared in the room. As blood pools in the small body around laying over him, tears stream down his eyes in anger, and sadness. What did he have to do to deserve this? What did Kuroko did to deserve this? Why did they shoot? Why? Kagami sat up cradling the limp body in his arms. There was blood everywhere.

Aomine stared blankly, he could see Kagami's force in the room, it looks like Akashi's he thought. It sent shivers up in his spine. It was red, but it was red not like blood like Akashi's it was red like fire— all consuming fire. Meanwhile both Midorima and Murasakibara stared in disbelief. It was their first time to witness something like this, an alpha.

"Hanamiya!" Haizaki exclaimed angrily, "YOU IDIOT WE NEED HIM! Why did you fucking kill him!"

"I-I…I don't know I-I didn't see him there, h-he was—" Hanamiya was cut off as a punch landed square in his face. He fell on the floor as a heavy weight pinned him down. Kagami punched and punched, with each blow it kept getting stronger and stronger. Hanamiya felt his blood run cold, he wasn't seeing things, he couldn't be wrong, he could feel a sense of beast within Kagami's aura. He felt his jaw snapped as another punched landed the side of his face. He was getting stronger, much, much stronger. It was almost inhuman. Each punch felt like a thousand pounds of force, he felt as if a Tiger is clawing him over and over sweeping its monstrous paws. He wasn't even given time to breath, and his nose is being slowly clogged with blood.

Midorima quickly went to Kuroko's side. There was so much blood. He shook his head as he found the bullet in Kuroko's back, dangerously near the teal haired vampire's lungs. If he would make a wrong move, it would pierce right through the organ and fill his lungs with his own blood. There was only one way he could think of. Midorima searched his pocket, finally he reached for his wallet and took a sterile foil covered scalpel blade. There was no time, he took off the wrapper and made a clean cut over his wrist. As blood pooled over his wounds he let the blood drip to Kuroko's lips feeding him. But as soon as the liquid made it to Kuroko's system, Kuroko started a coughing fit throwing up the blood with his own. "Its not working!" Midorima announced. Aomine was startled, he didn't know what to do, he was confuse, flashback flooded him and Kuroko's current situation, Kagami's animalistic mayhem, and Akashi's aura.

Murasakibara watched as Akashi's small figure imitates a blazing red aura of intent to kill—no, to massacre. The way his eyes glow was different, it was hunger, hunger for bloodshed.

Midorima meanwhile tried his best to calmly get the situation right, he cannot stop Akashi now, all he could do at least is make the situation lift if only he could make it so Kuroko's state would get any better. But feeding Kuroko his blood was a wrong move, he remembered the day the teal haired vampire got sick. He rejected all human bloods they had him take. This means…Midorima shook his head, the risk is as high as the current situation. If he continued feeding him the wrong blood he might just get worse, but if he does not feed he'll die of bleeding this much. Out of his confusion Midorima felt Kuroko move, he turned and found his brother's eyes cracking open.

"…i-kun…" Kuroko's voice is weak and hoarse, he raised his weak arm as if reaching, "Kagami-kun…don't…kill…him."

Kagami stopped, he felt all the strength left him as he heard Kuroko's weak voice. All there was left of him was the want to go right away to Kuroko's side. He realized the situation, his hands and knuckles were bloodied, and adrenaline is pumping in his veins. His breathing was ragged, and his blood is boiling to a thousand degrees. But Kuroko's voice felt like ice pouring over him, effectively getting all his attention and slightly calming him down. He turned and found Kuroko weakly looking at him. He let go of Hanamiya who was well beaten up, his face was unrecognizable. Kagami felt his heart sank in his stomach as he looked at Kuroko. He didn't want this to end like this. No, he has a lot of things to say, he hasn't even said sorry yet, he said he'd teach him English, they haven't even gotten in a date yet. He kneeled to his side, tears started forming in his eyes as he took Kuroko's reaching hands. "You idiot." He whispered kissing Kuroko's knuckles.

"I…don't want Kagami-kun…to sully his hands…for me." Kuroko said looking at Kagami's beautiful red orbs. They reminded him of the sunset. They were beautiful beyond words. "I don't want you…to live the way I did."

"You're not going to sleep, you hear me." Kagami said firmly, Kuroko reached to Kagami's face caressing the skin.

"If I..If only…Kagami-kun and I would have met, in another time, in another place, in some other circumstances…"Kuroko said with a sad smile in his face, "At least, I could pride myself that I…died protecting you."

Kuroko closed his eyes and Kagami repeated the word no while kissing Kuroko's bloodied face. It was cruel, no cruel was an understatement. This shouldn't have happened, first he forgot about him, and now, now that he could accept him with all he is, he dies. This isn't fair. This wasn't supposed to happen. What did Kuroko did to deserve any of this, he loves everyone around him, to the point of this—of sacrificing his happiness for them, and yet this was how fate repay him? No, that isn't fair!

"Kagami." Kagami turned to Midorima when he called him. "There's another way, he could be save, there's still slight beating of his heart."

Kagami didn't care anymore, be it anything, if it would save him, if it would bring him back to him, he would do it. "Tell me, now!"

"Your blood." Midorima answered.

Kagami swallowed a lump in his throat, there was just so many what ifs of the situation right then. Yet all of those were simply pushed away when Kuroko started a coughing fit, blood prickling down in the corner of his mouth. He could not afford him to die. He didn't care what Kuroko would say when he wakes up right after, he was more than scared to lose him right now, now when he was just a fingertips away from him. "What should I do?" Kagami asked quietly.

Midorima looked at him with determined eyes, closing his eyes for a moment, "I must tell you about the probable consequences of this decision Kagami Taiga." Midorima said, he knew he wouldn't change his mind either way, but at least he should know, of the weight that weighs upon that choice. "Kuroko as we think is suffering right now from attachment syndrome. It is a kind of intangible bond a turned like him forms towards an Alpha, when a turned falls into attachment towards an alpha their system would not take any blood aside from that Alpha. Which is why…" Midorima looked at Kuroko, this was the reason why he didn't eat, why he can't. He had been very sickly due to the fact he hasn't eaten anything yet. Kagami's blood, it's the only blood he'll take—but if that happens. "—however, if you feed him with your blood, you will be leashing your life to his. From then on, he will be unable to eat others' blood, the only blood he would feed on is yours, which means the day you die, is the day he dies."

Kagami's eyes widen. If so, he would be making Kuroko…basically…mortal?

"Now, Kagami Taiga, what will you do?"

Kagami stared at Kuroko, his ragged breath, his cold hands. What is he going to do? Was this the right thing to do? If he did that Kuroko's life will be perpetually hooked to his, he didn't want that. He had lived his long life all this time, and he could snap it with just one wrong move—but if he didn't—Kagami bit his lower lips as he pressed Kuroko's hand against his forehead murmuring incoherent words against the skin. "What should I do, I-I don't want to lose you yet—but I—what if I made a mistake? I…Kuroko…"

"There is only one thing I could say to you Kagami Taiga," Midorima said. Watching Kagami reminded him of his desperation when Takao died, "there's no such thing as wrong decision, only bad results. You can deal with the results later."

Kagami nodded, he could think about the future later, he have to focus on what's before them. He would worry about the future later, he will deal with the present now. "I…I will do it, now." Kagami answered. Midorima nodded and cleaned the scalpel in his hand with the hem of his clothes before looking at Kagami.

"Give me your wrist." Midorima instructed. Kagami presented his arm and Midorima gave him a warning look before making a swift cut over Kagami's wrist enough to cut the skin and bleed but not enough to severe any important veins underneath. As the blood pools over the wound Midorima carefully led his wrist to Kuroko. "You know there's no turning back, yes?"

Kagami didn't answer, he didn't wait for Midorima's instruction he brought his wrist to Kuroko's lips letting the blood drip to Kuroko's slightly parted lips, and it drips and drips continuously. Kagami felt numbness in his hand due to the blood loss, yet something warm stirred in his system. He felt an unfamiliar warmth, like he was being lulled, and everything was becoming subtle. Midorima watched Kuroko's expression, he didn't moved, he didn't cough the blood, he was taking it. His system might be able to recognize Kagami's scent in his blood. Midorima watched as the colors started creeping back to Kuroko's face, he quickly reached for his pocket and fished a white handkerchief before handing them to Kagami, "That's enough." Kagami accepted the material hesitantly without pulling his eyes off the teal haired vampire. His eyes widen when Kuroko's wound in his shoulder started closing, the flesh regenerating, the wound stopped bleeding and the flesh growing and closing the wound without a trace—not a scar. Kagami lifted Kuroko's upper body, his body felt like it was running a fever. He panicked and turned to Midorima. "H-He's burning up!" he exclaimed before kissing Kuroko's head.

"It's normal, it your blood that makes that so. He will be alright." Midorima assured him.

Kagami felt something falling from Kuroko's back and he quickly turned and found something shiny fell and rolled to his side. Kagami picked it up and realized it was a silver bullet. He carefully inspected Kuroko and found the small bullet hole in Kuroko's back is starting to close now. He felt a wave of relief. Kuroko's closed lids started moving, his fingers slightly stirring . All of a sudden Kagami found Kuroko opening his eyes abruptly with a loud gasp.

Midorima quickly prevented Kuroko from moving harshly, "Kuroko." He called him, Kuroko effectively calmed down and focused his eyes which landed on Kagami's eyes.

"Kuroko." Kagami found himself smiling, he was unable to hold back as he kissed Kuroko's cheeks, eyes, nose, forehead. "K-Kuroko, you bastard, don't fucking die on me you little shit."

Kuroko was confused, no he…he died…he was supposed to—when it Kuroko he pushed Kagami slightly, he could smell it, Kagami's blood. His eyes landed on Kagami's wrist. "Kagami-kun…you…" Kagami's expression changed a frown in his lips. "Y-You shouldn't have done that I—"

"I know, I'm sorry but I just can't you might as well hate me all your life but I can't have you die on me!" Kagami said.

Kuroko looked at his hands. He can't believe it, Kagami…did he know the consequences of what he just did? Did he understand what kind of life awaits him now? "No, i-its…I don't ha—"

CRASH!

Both Kagami and Kuroko found them turning to the source of the sound. Kuroko gasp, he could feel a monstrous power, a dangerous feral anger filling the air around them. Kuroko felt his heart skip a beat, cold sweat in his hands as he saw dual colored eyes gleaming with malice. It felt like Aomine's but more intese, much more animalistic, it reeks of hatred and violence. It was overwhelming like Murasakibara, but much more destructive. He forgot how to breathe for a moment, as he watch a familiar sharp object raised by that hand.

"No!" Kuroko exclaimed, but it was too late. Midorima was unable to say anything, while both Aomine and Murasakibara was frozen in their ground, paralyzed by the fear reeking from Akashi.

"Wha…"Kagami was lost for words, if there was anything he could call monster—it was him. A scarlet haired, heterochromatic eyed butcher. He looked no way near a vampire, he looked like…a beast, a monster, an angry, wild murderer. He felt scared for Kuroko's safety and quickly held his hand, he quickly felt Kuroko's fear seeping through his skin. He could hear the loud beating of Kuroko's heart. He could feel everyone's nerves tensing by the passing moment, his eyes widen as the object quickly plunged, and he heard a loud crack of bones and there was a spray of vibrant red. He heard Kuroko gasp and everything went silent.
