Daygon Yuuki: Thank you! Here is an update!

ShinseiShinwa: Hahaha, I'd love to have an AkaKuroAka threesome, but unfortunately, I could just imagine it xD And the gray-haired dude isn't Haizaki cause he's freaking alive. The gray-haired man is a member of Kirisaki Daichi.. as for your trap suggestion, I suddenly remembered that Angel Beats trap hahaha

siscarilia: When I read your recent review, it was like I was shoot into the space. It's the first time I received a compliment like that because I am an amateur writer, so thank you very much! And it's okay, though I hope you have some suggestions now xD

Rinfantasy: Yeah I know, I know, but he was no longer inside Aka-kun's body, so he does not know what he should call Kuroko. ^_^


~CHAPTER 9~

"He saw me."

Hanamiya frowned at the guy in front of him. "What do you mean by he saw you?"

"I don't know. I perfectly hid but he saw me. It's like he's got Emperor Eye like that Akashi." Kazuya said.

Hanamiya smirked. "That's a good news then. Just keep patrolling."


Yuuri puts the magazine down on the desk in front of Aomine. "What is the meaning of this?"

"A magazine." The indigo-haired teen nonchalantly said, however he was slightly wondering if Yuuri's brain and Seijuurou's brain were exchanged while they are sleeping.

"Let me rephrase it then." Yuuri opened a particular page in the magazine. "What is this?"

Aomine sighed. How could someone with brains like Yuuri ask the obvious and become stupid, he don't know. "An one-shot, requested by your twin."

"I know it's an one-shot, but tell me why is this written down here." Yuuri said and gently slapped the page to Aomine's front side of the face.

"What now?!"

"Don't shout at me, Aomine." Yuuri threatened. "And it is written down here, because you saw us that night, and don't deny that. You changed the conversation and the name of the characters, but what happened is still the same."

"Okay, okay! Fine!" Aomine said in defeat and growled. "Is it my fault why you two shorties are so noisy that night? You obviously woke me up!"

"So now you're passing the blame to us even though in actuality, you're intrigued that I am beside him, instead of you, which was his light, that's why you can't sleep." Yuuri said while walking around and then massaged his temples. After some seconds, he added. "On the side note, I'm not short."

"Yes you are!"

"Don't try me Aomine."

"Want one-on-one?!"

Yuuri smirked, a Seijuurou-like smirk. "Of course. I still haven't forgave you for writing this out."

Aomine facepalmed. Now he knew he's the stupid one out there. No one won against Yuuri and Seijuurou anyway.

Maybe except for a certain teal-head.

Yuuri took a one last look at the one-shot before his smirk widened and left the room.

already did what he needed to do, still it has no effect. Nagisa already tossed, turned and cuddled himself but he couldn't fell asleep, and it was quite unfair for him in this situation he's in.

Opposite to the one beside him is sleeping soundly.

He sighed and stared at him for a moment. The figure of his face was- no, is handsome and because of that truth, the sleepiness couldn't afford to visit him at this moment.

Yes, curiousity killed a cat, but he's no ordinary cat. And because his curiousity got him already, Nagisa proceeded to get up, his front body touching the soft matress, and used his fingers to trace the guy's defined jawline, smooth cheeks, soft hair strands that covered his forehead, eyebrows, eyes closed innocently, well-shaped nose, and last but not the least, kissable lips.

Oh Nagisa, what a word did you just used to describe his lips! It could be delicious, or sweet, or perfect, or soft- oh kami help me. He prayed silently. I wanted to know what kind of potion, or poison, or spell he used to make me feel like this

When it stopped there, it took all his might to get his finger back to where it should be. But for Nagisa, it's not enough and it doesn't matter if he'll get killed. Leaning, Nagisa's face got closer and closer… and closer and closer to the guy's sleeping innocent face… closer… and closer… until…

*PAK!*

Akabane suddenly woke up and got up when he suddenly felt the jolt of pain he felt on his right cheek, glancing on his right side, he saw his bedmate with his right hand closed tight into a fist. The impact of the punch is not enough to create a bruise, but it still hurts, mostly if you're NOT asleep.

"Nagisa, I wanted to know why you punched me." He said, caressing his pained cheek.

Nagisa laid down on the bed and faced on the side opposite Akabane and answered with a flustered face. "So that you should not seduce me anymore."

Did it slip out on his mouth or something?!

The guy remained silent, before laughing, his volume kept low. "You're one hell of a friend, Nagisa-kun."

Great. I wanted to calm down my mind but instead this story only bothered my mind more. Kuroko thought as he paused reading the one-shot. I feel like having nostalgia… or is it deja vu?

He looked at the necklace which was held by his left hand while his right hand held the school's newly released monthly magazine.

It's a good thing that my memories are slowly coming back even when they're blurred for some reason… Kuroko clenched the necklace tightly, …but why do I feel so sad?

His thoughts trailed off when he heard familiar voices nearby.

"Wait, Momoi-san, w-why won't you tell us anything?" He saw Furihata ask the pink-haired vocalist through the windows of the abandoned classroom.

Momoi showed a 'V' sign on her fingers. "I won't tell you anything!"

"But Momoi-san-!"

But before Tsuchida could finish his sentence, Momoi already opened the door of the classroom and shouted excitedly. "Tetsu-kun, we're already here!"

But because of Kuroko's lack of presence, they didn't even notice him (take note: he's already in front of them!) and Kuroko could only sigh at that.

"H-he's not here?" Furihata said.

"Hello everyone."

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Waaahh! Ghost!"

"Are we gonna die? Are we gonna die?"

"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"

Kuroko sighed again. It's all the same since the first time he got here in Afterlife. Is he also like this in the real world? How did he cope up?

Great. Since when will he rest?

Momoi slapped the heads of her three bandmates with a paper fan. "It's Tetsu-kun, not a ghost, you morons!" She then flashed an apologetic smile to Kuroko, but something in his hand caught her eyes.

Not the magazine, but the necklace.

"Aren't they cute?" Niji-senpai said while grinning, a pair of binoculars in his eyes.

I rolled my eyes and stared at the two figures at the street court under the rain and for some obvious reasons, it clenched my heart. "Maybe… maybe they are…"

One of the two figures is Tetsu-kun, while the other…

…is vaguely familiar, but she couldn't make it out.

Why is it blurred again? Why is it that most of her memories are blurred?

"Momoi-san, are you okay?" Kuroko's voice brought her back to reality.

"Y-yeah, I'm okay, sorry." Momoi said to assure the teal-head and smiled. "So, let's practice now?"


When the redhead president got out of the Student Council room for meeting, he looked in his right and saw Seijuurou wearing the same uniform as his. Horrified, Yuuri quickly dragged Seijuurou to a secluded place, namely the comfort room, and locked it.

"What are you doing, Seijuurou?" Yuuri asked with his teeth gritted. "If some teachers will see you, you're doomed, do you know that? What they knew is that you're in the Student Council meeting!"

"I know, I know." Seijuurou said calmly then looked around. "I couldn't just sit down there and do nothing-"

"Finally you understood me."

"-and don't cut me Yuuri. So I decided to go out and decided to help you because… I think there's something big that's going to happen tonight."

"Oh? Tell me when did they get a break?" Yuuri asked.

"They did not." Seijuurou looked out on the comfort room's window and eventually saw the third building's rooftop. To where Murasakibara stood last night, there was someone standing there quietly. "But maybe Tetsuya's arrival in Afterlife baffled that omnipotent being and moved His chess pieces."

The two of them was so sure that someone smiled a little.


After finishing the final notes of the song, Momoi ordered a break and got out of the abandoned classroom and sat down on the floor while leaning on the wall.

"Here."

Momoi looked up and saw Kuroko offering her a bottle of cold water. Smiling, she accepted it and muttered her gratitude. "Thanks, Tetsu-kun."

The latter leaned on the door frame and stared at her with confusion. "You're welcome, but I have a question for you."

"Spill it." Momoi said after drinking two gulps of water.

"Why do you seem comfortable with me?" Kuroko asked. "I mean, yes, some of them are comfortable with me, the leader included, but I know that they are being cautious with me especially when they learned I have some sort of connection to the Miracles."

Momoi scratched her head. "Err… where should I start…" She pressed her lips together and licked it, feeling it dry and hot like she hadn't drank any water at all. "I'm still being cautious a little bit logically because we saw in our own eyes that you're connected to the Miracles, but then when I first arrived here, they also had the same feeling of caution around me because the Battlefront also saw that they knew me personally."

"…And?"

"Yeah." Momoi answered, feeling uncomfortable with Kuroko's reaction but she knew it's just his way on telling her to go on with her story. "I… I told them that and they accepted it, but well, I admit that we're still being cautious with you. But I also admit that I am comfortable when I'm with you."

"Why?" Kuroko repeated his original question.

Momoi took several deep breaths while Kuroko just waited in anticipation and watched her eyes become distant but her mouth never opened at all.

"I'm not really a fast learner when it came to songs unlike what you guys think yesterday." Momoi said. "I already learned Tetsu-kun's compositions before I even came here."

Their eyes widened. "D-do you mean-"

"Yes." Momoi cut them off. "I knew Tetsu-kun in the real world. We're teammates at that time and he's my crush." She explained and recalled all the memories she regained. "When he learned that I knew how to sing, he offered some of their compositions and we learned it together." Her eyes became starry. "They're really amazing at composing you know, especially Tetsu-kun…"

"But… how come you never introduced it to us?" Tsuchida said.

"Yeah! We even had to cram all night just to finish a song!" Koganei seconded.

Her eyes reverted to a sad and longing one. "When I remembered him and their compositions, I promised to myself that I will never, ever sing them without him. But when he showed up here, I had second thoughts. You know… does he still remember our bonds before? Does he still remember the songs they composed? Remember the way we memorized and sang before? I don't know…"

They slowly walked down the corridors, their footsteps quiet.

"Then one day, he showed all of the papers saying 'If this will help you, then please sing this'. I was so joyous when I learned that the songs were the same songs they composed." Momoi continued. "And it turned out, he remembered those because of the music notes that Sadist gave to the class. So funny…"

"Wait a minute…" Tsuchida butted in. "Is it just me or I'm not really misunderstanding your grammar? I mean, you keep using 'they' instead of 'him'."

They stopped in front of an unused classroom, where the Pinkish Nightmare officially practices. "Because…" She turned the knob of the door. "…he's not the only one who composed the songs."

Koganei frowned. "Why Momoi-san?"

The latter made a zipper mouth expression.

"Wait, Momoi-san, w-why won't you tell us anything?"

"Tetsu-kun…" Momoi started to speak.

"We will be together forever… right?" I anxiously asked him.

I saw Tetsu-kun stop for a moment and I know he contemplated. Facing me with his eyes filled with sadness mixed with determination and I don't even know if it's compatible, he answered. "Yes, we will be together, forever."

"I admit…" She looked at him with the same determination in the eyes that he had that day. "I admit that I know you personally Kuroko Tetsuya, and that we knew each other in the previous life before we arrived here. In other words… I remember you."
