Ok! This is the last chapter about the past of Seijuro and next one will be after the end of Kuroko no Basket. I don't know if I follow and Extra game about Akashi's condition. I will decide it while I will be writing the next chapter.

Chapter 4

Moments

/*Akashi Oreshi's POV*/

The days pass pleasantly. My relationship with Amelia became deeper and deeper as the days were passing and we could communicate and understand each other completely. She became something like my drug. I couldn't get a day through without seeing her or kissing her. That smile of hers which I used to hate and detest now was something I was looking forward to every time I was seeing her. As long as she was with me I didn't mind the endless hours of training with the basketball team, I didn't mind the endless hours I was spending at the company with my father and I didn't mind the endless hours of homework I had to do so I could to be the best. Because I had her by my side. After all, all I wanted was to hug her and together relax at the bloomed garden while watching the kois swim freely into the pond. She loved those fishes and she would feed them and watch them grow big every day.

"Sei! Sei! Look!" she was always shouting when she was seeing me approaching her.

"I will start thinking that you like the kois more than me, Amelia." I would tease her every time and I would hug her from behind.

"Eh? No way! Sei is the best after all!" Her answers would always make my heart skip a beat and feel so lucky for having her next to me.

One more thing that brought us even closer was our mutual love for music. I already knew that she loved playing the piano but we never had the chance to play together. But this change the moment I introduced her to the music room. We played every day together at home. This room became our favorite room in the whole house. Every time I was looking for her I knew that I would find her there playing alone. I often stood by the door and listened to her without her knowing that I was there. Of course, when she was seeing me she was getting all red and would stop playing until I joined her.

Our favorite piece is 'Moonlight Sonata' by Beethoven. It's, let's say, our song. That piece can be played by a piano and a violin as a duet. The result is amazing. It's magical. Playing music with your loved one is a beautiful thing.

Satsuki's Birthday party

"Hm? Momoi-san's birthday party?" I asked Amelia while I was getting ready for the upcoming match in a few hours. She was sitting on the bench watching my every move smiling and without getting embarrassed at all by seeing me being half-naked. I guess I don't attract her like that, huh?

"Yep! It's today! And we are invited! You will come right?" she asked excited. I couldn't say no but I really didn't want to be the only male around females. It would be awkward.

"Your friends are going to be there as well! The so-called Generation of miracles! You know… she is extremely fond of Tetsuya!" she whispered and grinned getting all red. Something is wrong with my girlfriend. Her reactions don't much the situations around her. Irina was always right. I signed heavily defeated.

"I see. So you want me to get them, or more or less, him?" I asked her as I was done changing to my gym clothes. She nodded happily and hugged my arm pressing her chest against it. She approached my ear and whispered seductively, "If you manage to get them to come, I will give you a present!"

I looked at her surprised. "What present?" I asked her immediately.

"This-is-se-cret~!" she whispered again and left my side winking at me playfully. Now I was interested.

"Ok! Guys good luck with your game!" she screamed at the rest of the team before leaving the room to go to the gym where we were going to play. I smiled at her as she was leaving and my teammates started to tease me. Especially Aomine and Kise.

"Go the court!" I couldn't stop grinning.

/* Normal POV*/

"Ne! Do you think that Tetsu-kun will come?" Satsuki continued asking Amelia over and over again as the time for the party came and no one was at her party except Amelia. Her best friend couldn't come as a family situation broke all of a sudden and she had to leave for Osaka.

"Momo! Relax! We need patience with things like this! You saw them at the match today, right? They said that they will come. So relax! It has only been ten minutes since the party officially started."

"Hm…. Ami-chan! I am really nervous!" Momoi cried and hide her face in her palms. Amelia laughed at her friend's reaction. And they waited and waited. An hour had passed and no one was still there. Amelia started to get irritated with her boyfriend as she had lived a very similar situation before so she decided to finally call him. And surprise surprise he wouldn't pick up the phone.

"Momo? Did they have to do anything else today?" Amelia asked her pink-haired friend who had started to eat in a desperate act to forget her sadness.

"No… no one told me anything!" she cried and continued to eat. Amelia joined her and started to eat some sandwiches. She tried to call Seijuro again but he didn't answer again. Momoi was refusing to call anyone. If they didn't want to come it was clearly understandable. She was deeply hurt. Then the bell rang. Momoi found her joy again and ran to the door. The generation of miracles was here! All of them all dress up, with big smiles and gifts in their arms. Momoi showed them the way inside. Amelia greeted them but then she lost her smile.

"Sei? Where is he?" she asked worried. She couldn't see her boyfriend anywhere.

"Hm? Isn't he here yet?" Kise asked looking around too.

"Aka-chin said that he had a job to do so he left from practice earlier than us," Murashakibara said in his usual bored tone. Then he spotted some candies and went to attack them. Amelia pouted irritated.

"He didn't contact you?" Midorima asked her next seeing her uneasiness.

"Nope… and I called him earlier. He has it turned off. He hasn't done that before," Amelia said and faked her smile to not make the rest worry about her problems. It was Momoi's birthday so it was all about Momoi.

"Maybe he is with a woman!" Aomine said "After all, he was acting so strange when he received that phone call!" he continued and started to laugh proudly.

"Aomine-kun. That is not right. Please read the atmosphere here," Kuroko lectured his taller friend.

Amelia glared at the darker man. "What phone call?"

Aomine cut his laughing immediately. Midorima shook his head disappointed with the outcome and Kise tried to calm Amelia down.

"Akashicchi received a weird phone call… that is true and he left us quite annoyed with it. Ne Kurokocchi?"

"Yes. He was extremely annoyed. He even made us do extra laps and that is why we were so late." Kuroko agreed making Amelia feel a little easier.

"I am sure that Akashi-kun isn't with another girl! He wouldn't do something like that! He will come soon! Don't worry Ami-chan!" Momoi hugged her girlfriend from behind and tried to comfort her.

"Thanks, Momo..." Amelia smiled at her and went to sit on one of the couches.

"Ne! Sa-chin! Why Ami-chin is calling you Momo and you won't let me call you Momo-chin?" Murashakibara was heard again from the back making everyone laugh and watch the argument between Momoi and Murashakibara making everyone forget about Akashi's absence. They laughed, they played games, they ate almost everything on the table when the bell was heard, two hours later.

"Oh! I am going!" Momoi ran to the door and opened it happily.

"Um… hello! Are you Momoi Satsuki?" a tall guy with reddish hair and dark brown to red eyes asked.

"Yes…?"

"Oh nice!" said the unknown man and entered the house while bowing to the birthday girl. Momoi was left speechless and just followed the newcomer. The young man entered the living room where the rest were sitting and bowed to them again.

"May I speak with Amelia Rose?" he asked smiling. Amelia got up and approached him informing him that she was the one he was looking for. The youngster studied her carefully from head to toes and then opened his arms widely and hugged her shouting 'COUSIN IN LAW!'. Everyone looked at each other confused and Amelia broke free from the guy who was hugging her.

"Who are you?" she asked confused and coldly the newcomer. Then the scene entered Akashi who was a mess. His hair was a mess, his clothes were a mess and even his attitude was a mess.

"Sei? What happened?" Amelia ran to him and caught him before his legs stop assisting him anymore.

"Oh! Seijuro! I am sorry man! Hihihihi, but your fiance is a beauty!" said the older guy again and turned to the pink-haired girl. "Madmouselle!" he said and knelt down kissing the back of her palm gently. "Happy birthday! This is a gift only for the lovely friend of my lovely cousin!" he winked at the girl and gave her a small box. Momoi took it slowly and opened it. The rest of the generation of miracles gathered around her to see what was in the box. When she opened it they all gasp at the beautiful necklace they saw. It had a small blue stone in the shape of a tear and was attached to a small flower made out of platinum.

"I heard that you like the color blue. Hope it gives you beautiful dreams and hopes for the future!" the guy winked at her again and got up to walk towards his cousin.

"Who are you again?" Amelia asked him lost.

"My name is Akashi Kaito! I am a cousin to Seijuro! Our fathers are brothers by blood. Nice to meet you Amelia. Or I should call you Ami-chan!"

"Sweet yourself," she answered coldly. Then Seijuro got up weakly and walked towards Momoi with the help of Amelia.

"Momoi-san. Happy birthday. I am so sorry for being so late. Please accept my gift for you," he gave her a bigger package than his cousin and let himself sit on the couch.

"Why is he like this?" Amelia glares at her cousin-in-law. The cousin took a step back terrified.

"I went to pick him up from the airport. He called me out of the blue to announce to me that he just arrived here. Then he wanted to go around the city. When I told him that I had to attend a birthday party he insisted to join me and buy a present. I am sorry Momoi-san for causing you so much trouble!" Seijuro bowed deeply making Momoi extremely uncomfortable as she wasn't used to Akashi acting like that. Amelia just smiled at them. In the end, they all enjoyed the rest of the birthday party and they cut the cake.

When late at night, everyone returned home. The next days Kaito would take Amelia and Seijuro all around Tokyo and all around Japan just to explore the country. By the time the cousin left for Europe Amelia and Seijuro were exhausted.

"That cousin of yours is really the something else!" Amelia commented as she fall on Seijuro's bed. Seijuro laid next to her smiling and patting her head.

"Yeah… he is… So what did you think of him?"

"Hm… good person. But his happy go-around attitude is worse than mine," Seijuro chuckled lightly and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"You think so?"

She kissed his lips and hugged him burying her face in his pajamas. "Aha..." she said slowly as sleep started to take her away. Akashi looked at her in deep thought before he spoke again.

"Hm… ne Amelia?"

"Hm?"

"Do you remember that surprise you would have for me if I was to bring Testusya to Momoi-san's birthday party?" he asked concerned all of a sudden.

"No…. let's get some sleep..." was the last thing she said before falling asleep. He smiled down at her and wrapped his arms around her bringing her closer to him, falling asleep.

/*Akashi Oreshi's POV*/

School came to an end and the summer holiday season was finally here. Me and Amelia, both finished our homework as fast as we could and decided to go to Hawaii for holidays along with our families. We stayed there for almost the whole summer. Kaito joined us too. Of course, he would! But luckily he let me and Amelia enjoy some privacy. But he would always tease me for not doing what a man should do. I mean we are still in middle school. What did he expect me to do at such a young age! It's too early! After all, right now we didn't need anything more than being together, having each other's company. Something that he wouldn't understand.

"Hm… not gonna happen!" he was saying again and again.

"You are annoying." I would tell him, leaving him alone to find Amelia.

Amelia again from the other side didn't really pay any attention to him or his sayings. She would actually joke about it and stop talking about it. I was actually thinking of talking with her about it at some point, but not now. Definitely not now. But I had to ask her opinion on it. So I decided one day to ask her. I walked straight to her room and I knocked nervously but she didn't answer, so I entered.

"Um… Amelia?" I called her but still not a single word. I walked inside closing the door behind me. I stared around the room when the door from the bathroom opened and Amelia walked out wearing only a towel around her waist. When she saw me she jumped surprised and let her towel fall exposing her naked body before my eyes. I saw almost everything.

"Stop looking!" she hissed and threw one of her shoes on my face hitting me. I felt dizzy and I fall to the ground. I could feel blood coming out of my nose and I was sure that the cause wasn't Amelia's shoe.

"Oh shit! Sei?" I heard her asking worried as she came towards me.

"Language Amelia." I corrected her as I got up holding my nose.

"Yeah yeah… wait… I will get you a towel."

She ran off and came back again. She knelt down and approached me, with me staring directly at her boobs, which were big enough.

That day I learned two things. One, she is going to be the death of me one day, and second, if I ever have sex with her I don't think that I will survive it. I would be probably dead by blood loss so I won't have it until later... when I am ready to die.

Unfortunately, our vocation was over and in a week school would start. I was at the company late at night when a client of my father came in with a huge grin on his face. He said that he was in a hurry so he took my father out of the office to talk. That guy owned a theater and he would often ask my father to tell our staff at our hotels to inform the clients about that theater in exchange for free tickets and more.

"Weird deal," I murmured and I got back at my work when my father entered the office and let two tickets next to me. I looked at them and then back at him.

"These are two tickets for an orchestra that is playing Beethoven's pieces. They will play tomorrow. Take Amelia if you want," he said. I smirked at the idea, so I took them with pleasure. When I returned back home, I told her about the orchestra and she jumped at me yelling 'yes'.

So the day of our date arrived, I finished with my work early and went home to get ready. I wore a black tuxedo, bought a bouquet of white roses in my hands, which were her favorites after sakura trees, and I headed over to the theater. The show would start at 8. I was there by 7:30 and I was waiting. I was so excited about the date. I was actually excited to see her excited face and I couldn't stop grinning. Time passed and the clock hit 8. The show was about to start but she still wasn't there.

"Maybe she got stuck at traffic," I said to myself. She was at one of her friends after all.

The clock show 8:15. I started to get worried so I decided to call her. It was turned off.

"Weird..." I thought when my mother called me.

A call that I would never forget.

"Hello? Mum?"

I didn't want to think of anything bad.

"Seijuro… where are you?"

I had to understand from her tone that something was wrong. But I didn't want to admit it. Not yet.

"Outside the theater. I am waiting for Amelia. She is quite late. I called her but her phone was off..."

She was silent. I had to understand it then, hadn't I?

"Seijuro..."

Her tone… the sadness and the pity in her tone…

"Mum…"

Don't say it. Please don't say it…

"Amelia…Had an accident… she is at the hospital… but the doctors are saying that she will be ok..."

"What hospital?"

So I ran. Ran as fast as I could. I had to go to her. I had to stay by her side. She was going to live. She had to survive. She had to survive for me! So I ran and I ran. When I arrived at the hospital I ran to the emergency room where I found everyone there but they had grave expressions on their faces.

"Seijuro..." Irina said when she saw me breathing with difficulty. She got up and approached me moving her head.

"I am sorry… she didn't make it..." she said and left my side. I looked at the rest. They were all looking at me with pity. I don't remember what happened next. All I knew was that I was lost into the darkness for a while and I came back a bit later in the middle of the street.

/*Akashi Bockushi's POV*/

I took over automatically. He wasn't in the state to even stand on his own. He was sad and he was heartbroken. Me from the other side I was angry and I wanted answers. I never loved Amelia like he did but I respected his wishes so I shut my self and I was coming out when it was absolutely necessary. Amelia was a good girl and she didn't deserve an end like this. It was unfair.

"Unfair..." I got my head up and glared at them.

"Seijuro?" my mother asked me shocked.

"Unfair..." I repeated and looked away. "Tell me what happened," I ordered them. My mother nodded and started to talk. Amelia was coming towards the theater when the limo was hit by another car. When they got her she was injured but she could survive. Unfortunately, cause of a complication she died.

"I see… who was the one responsible?"

"An… he was..." my mother started to shutter. I looked at her raising my eyebrow. Why was she shuttering?

"He was an old man. He died on impact. Nothing more." my father answered in a steady voice.

"I see..."

So an old man stole the love of my other half just like that.

"Unfair…" I said again and I walked away from them slowly.

"Don't you want to see her?" my mother asked before I leave the room.

"I bet that even if I ask there would be some obstacle and at the end, I won't be able to see her. And it's better if he remembers her with her smile instead on a cold bed," I said without any emotion and I left them. I walked out of the hospital and I met with Irina who was coming in in a hurry while speaking on the phone. She probably left and I didn't see her, to answer that phone call? She looked at me shocked and ran inside. Her eyes weren't red as I was expecting. I gave up my ideas and I walked away to clear my head. Suddenly I felt small raindrops touching my face. I guess it was time for me to leave him alone…

/*Akashi Oreshi's POV*/

I found myself in the middle of the road and soaking wet. It was raining. I expand my arms and I turned my palms so the inside could face the sky.

"It looks like even the skies and god are sad..." I said to myself.

It was weird. The feelings I had inside of me wanted to come out. I wanted to scream, to cry, and to ask 'why'? Why or who? It wasn't her fault. Someone killed her.

Yes… Amelia was not here anymore. Someone had killed her. It sounded so fake.

Then I started to laugh. Laugh with my misery. When I felt disgusted with myself I stopped and looked down. My shoes were dirty from the mud and the flowers I was still holding until now were on the ground. They weren't white anymore. They had the same color as the ground which would cover her soon. I continued to stare at them as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. At some point I couldn't think, I couldn't see and I couldn't hear. It was as like I was cut out of the world. Until I felt a hand over my shoulder.

"Akashi! Akashi! Can you hear me? Akashi!?"

Someone was calling me. I looked up and I faced my friend from school. Shintaro.

"Shin-ta-ro?" I asked totally lost.

"Akashi! I heard the news... Come with me. You are soaking wet." Shintaro covered me with his umbrella and drove me to his house. On their way there he didn't speak at all and I was thankful to him. When we arrived I found all the generation of miracles sitting sadly in the living room. Tetsuya, Daiki, Ryota, Atsushi and even Satsuki. They were all looking at me with sad eyes and grave expressions too. Satsuki hugged me tightly crying and whispering something I couldn't hear. Then I realized that it was true. She was gone.

"Amelia… won't come back right?" I asked all of a sudden. I needed someone to make it sure for me.

"Yes..." Tetsuya answered with a broken voice.

"I won't be able to see her again, right?"

"Yes…" Shintaro spoke next.

"I see… so I won't play with her music again…?" my voice was cracking.

"Yes..." Daiki said.

I continued to ask questions. With every 'yes' I was hearing a piece of my heart was ripped off. With every piece of my heart, I was losing myself even more.

For the rest of the night, I stayed quiet trying to remember what we did that day. What I did wrong. What I could do to stop that from happening. My teammates stayed over at Shintaro's with me all night too. They kept me from going insane…

The next day, after the accident I returned home. My mother immediately hugged me crying. I just ignored her and I looked around.

"They are gone back to Europe. The funeral would be held there...Your father went there too." I heard her explaining to me the disappearance of the Rose family. I left her alone and I went to Amelia's room. It was untouched. Her perfume was still there. Her drawings were still there. Her clothes, her books, her gifts from me, her shoes, her favorite stuffed animals, the album with our pictures together.

"Are you still here, Amelia?" I called her with a small hope that her ghost was still there. No answer. I guess she passed to the other side. I looked sadly around the room. The window was still open and the cold wind was coming in. I looked at her desk where I found a picture of us together. It was from when we went to Hawaii. She looked so happy. That gave me some hope. That I managed to make her happy during the little time we spend together. How much was it? A little more than half a year. I left the photo down and then it was when I broke down. I couldn't hold it anymore. I felt tears falling like a river. Everything in that room was reminding me of her. Anything I was looking at would give me memories of her. Happy old ones and painful new ones.

I walked towards the bed and sat down. I couldn't hold my tears back so I started to cry helplessly until I fall asleep.

Days passed. I continued my life like nothing had happened. I locked her room and I locked the music room and I didn't allow anyone to enter neither of them. I wouldn't enter either. My teammates and classmate would come and give me their sad words. They didn't care. They were just playing sad. I didn't care either. I stopped caring anymore. During the breaks, I would spend my time at the roof trying to recall our moments there. I would walk like a ghost in the hallways just to remember her. I was like a walking empty sell. No soul in it anymore.

My other self would try to make me stop acting like that but even if I wanted to, I couldn't. Now the only thing I could do was to drive myself in deep sleep and forget or throw myself at the abyss or maybe work so I could forget. So I worked, I studied and I was training every day. My life now was home, school, gym, company, home. No breaks and no rest until the night. I didn't want to think anymore. Now the only thing that was still keeping me above the water were my teammates.

Half A Year Later

It has been half a year since her death. I never heard again from her family again, until half a year later.

One day my father returned home and asked to talk with me. We both entered his office at home and we sat down. He was tired but focused on what he was going to tell me. I started to feel uncomfortable but I didn't expect to hear what he told me next.

"Seijuro. Our company and the Rose company stopped the deal. We are nothing more than two companies on their own. So I had to make a deal with another company. The Hachico company. The deal was of course us to work together but in exchange, you will have to marry her daughter."

He said it so calmly and he made it sound like it was the most natural thing in the world. I couldn't believe in my ears. Was he for real? He even gave me a photo of the girl in a kimono. I didn't manage to see Amelia in a kimono and here is my future bride to be in a freaking kimono. That gave me so much despair.

"Father… what are you talking about? There hasn't been a year since her… since she left us and you are saying things like that?" I asked him as calmly as I could. I could feel my temperature rising every second.

"Son. It was all strictly business. You and Amelia too." he said coldly.

"Father… I loved her more than anything and now she is gone. And you are asking me to marry someone else like she was nothing? How could you ask me something like this?" I screamed at him unable to control my anger.

"Seijuro! You are only at middle school! What do you know about real love? Stop speaking nonsense! She is coming to meet you next week! Be prepared!" he hissed and threw me out of his office. I hated him and myself for not being able to do anything.

But my torture didn't end there. I had lost to my father and to fate. Now I was losing and my friends. They started to act differently. It was because of their enormous abilities. One day Daiki didn't show up at practice so I sent Tetsuya to bring him back. Then Atsushi started to talk crazy things about not wanting to attend practices anymore. I couldn't allow something like that so I asked him to have a match. If he won then he would do whatever he wanted, if I won then he would listen to me. During the game, I started to lose. Then I realized that I was a loser. I had lost every battle until now. I lost Amelia, I lost my freedom once again and now I was losing my friends. I had only one option. To let everything to him. He knew victory better than me. After all, he never lost in his life once… right?

And that is everyone! Amelia is good as dead. Seijuro is forced to marry a new girl for the sake of his company! How is he going to act about it? See ya at the next chapter for more answers! Thanks for reading until now! Review! See ya next chapter! ^_^
