Kagami barely remembered what happened next, he just recalls hands pulling the small body from his arms and his wails and shrieks pleading with them to give him back to not hurt him any further and had it not been for his broken and battered form he would have resisted further as the blue haired teen yanked his shadow from his grasp.
He feels his own body his the ground where he shakes with retched sobs that continue to sashay past his bloodied lips, every part of him is shivering with currents of pain but somehow he just feels numb.
Glacial fingers are caressing his cheeks talking in a panicked whisper but all he can do is scream. His lungs are burning at this point and the pain in his chest only intensifies but he still cries, cries for the lost memories and the feeling of the others warmth, cries because they were futile in this moment and could do nothing to protect them.
Noises and unfamiliar voices are filling his ear, they sound panicked and Kagami can not understand the words in which they are saying to him, he can't quite his cries and instead continues to allow himself to mourn.
He barely notices the exerted movements from the other player as they pound life back into the small boys chest or the paramedics who force him aside to take over, he barely feels the cold steel of liquid as it runs through his arm and only knows that something has happened when his cries turn to grunts and his body begins to feel numb. His eyes flicker for a few more moments trying to grasp what was happening at the last moment until darkness encases him and all he hears is "There's no pulse."
He wakes to the sound of monitors and the smell of disinfectant. His body feels heavy and he aches all over, he just wants to go back to sleep to escape the noises and the building pain in his chest.
They feel themselves dirft in and out of sleep before he is woken by the sound of a familiar voice over top of him with their arm rested on their shoulder. The gesture is soft and feel familiar.
He peels his lids apart, dark eyes staring back into a kind yet concerned gaze that belonged to Kiyoshi.
He tries to speak but finds that he is unable to say much and is horrified to find that there is two streams of warm tears that are rolling down his face. He just stares back at the other with wide weeping eyes and tries to think of words to form a question, a name, anything. But instead he just sobs, and suddenly the room is filled with his hiccuping cries as the grasp and try to inhale through the nasal fluids collecting from the harsh cries.
Before he can register what is happening he feels long arms encasing him pulling him into their embrace as their bod shakes apart.
Every inch of them jars with new unwarranted pain but he refuses to let the other go, he wants them to remain there, to keep him balanced to let them cry.
"Oh god…" He finally manages these two words before a whimper slips past his trembling lips. "Tetsu… how could he do that to him?" He is gasping at this point, gulping at the air that will not fill his lungs quick enough as they try to wheeze past the discomfort.
"Kagami, Kuroko's alive." Kiyoshi says this with tear filled eyes as he pulls the other away from his chest to stare into the gaze.
The look that comes across the others face sends pain through the elders chest, he looked relieved yet hurt beyond explanation. The desolation was still there lurking behind his tired and frightened gaze, but he was relieved too.
"Oh my god…" their cries start again but this time they are filled with pain and anguish within it as their hand comes to their mouth to cover it. Their shoulders shake so hard that Kiyoshi is afraid that he was only causing more pain due to the broken ribs he had sustained. "Why? How could he do that. He wouldn't stop. I begged him too, I did."
They are hysterical now with their heart monitor going off and their cries just lingering in the air. His hand is clutching at his red locks, fingers pulling harshly at the strands as they bow their head.
There is a male nurse at his side within a minute and suddenly Kiyoshi is being led from the room as the other begins to yell at the nurse to stay away from them as they try to pull themselves away from the others grasp.
"Please, oh god!" Kagami is screaming this, voice hoarse with exhaustion but prevalent and loud enough for everyone in the halls to hear. "I need to save him, he's going to kill him. Please!"
Kiyoshi watches their team member struggle whilst other figures surround them. He is speechless at this point not knowing how to react to the outburst and the complete breakdown that his member displayed.
They had been through a lot together and he had always watched the headstrong member pull through everything without so much as a second thought.
And yet, here he is watching as the other is being forced back onto the bed in complete hysterics as a needle is placed into their IV port and after a moment more of struggling from the red head he falls back into the bed body going lax beneath the others strained holds.
Kiyoshi would have questioned the others strength at this point since he had been so badly injured but knew that the adrenaline coursing through his body was enough to keep him going without feeling the pain that was probably searing through his battered body.
They stand there, willing themselves to move for another moment watching as the nurses begin moving away whilst the doctor hovers over them looking over their injuries before calling something out to the others.
Had they even caught that bastard? Or was he still running free after what he had done? The thought of it all makes him queazy and he swears he could break something in two with the anger flowing through him.
They would not get away with this.
He would not let them.
They would not let him, not after all that he had done to their members.
