sorry about before, I think the editing somehow gone wrong and in result its all scrambled up, truly sorry for the previous 'freaky'
chapter 2 :(
"You will feel what is regret and sadness when you lost something important and in return you achieve nothing. That was also will be your first time to taste your own fear and weakness."
CHAPTER 2: When It All Begins Again
Momoi looked at them in the eyes. Tears were flowing down through her cheeks as she opened her mouth, "He is gone... We will never meet him again. He… He is gone!"
"Don't joke around like that, Sa-chin. We know very well that Kuro-chin maybe just using his misdirection." Murasakibara said while his hand—which was gripping his snacks—was trembling slightly.
"Momoicchi! Where do you get that information anyway?" Kise shook her body as it only made her tears came more drastic.
"….I…" She hiccupped, "I heard it from principal… He said that Tetsu-kun is withdrawing from here. He didn't tell him where or when he will go, he just… signed the letter and gone! B-But…" She sobbed hard before her words came coherently.
"Talk properly, Satsuki." Akashi suddenly said which sent a shiver down their spine—except Momoi.
Momoi brushed aside her tears as she said, "But Principal heard something… Something like the wind is telling him something, along with this letter which was strangely addressed to us." Momoi took out a white envelope and handed it to the red-headed captain.
"…What did the principal hear, Momoicchi?" Kise asked curiously.
Momoi gulped before another wave of tears hit her, "…'It's not yet to begin. Until the time is right…goodbye..'…" And they froze as Akashi and Midorima felt like something clicked inside them.
Akashi hurriedly ripped open the white envelope and took out the folded letter.
To: Generation of Miracles
As they say that you will only regret what you have lost, have you tasted the bittersweet feeling?
I have, for the entire two years.
They gulped after Akashi read the first part. Momoi keep crying as the others keep their heads down.
No, I am not blaming you. I am not feeling any regret even if you are abandoning me and said that I am indeed useless… I am used to it, so it's okay. No need to worry for me anymore. I am gone from your life and so be it. :) Just promise me you won't do anything reckless that will endanger your own life.
Oh, have you ever heard of this?
"Even if the once pure angel could taste a bitter hell from heaven, all of the Gods and Goddesses will laugh while all of the Demons will cry."
Do you understand what that quote means?
I guess not, huh? Since you are never really care, but it was okay!
Lastly, I want you to… just live the way you want, I won't be there to correct you anymore.
To remind Kise-kun to stop being so annoying.
Kise's breath came uneven as tears betrayed his feelings. He looked down ashamed, why he can't stop Kurokocchi from leaving them? He already missed him.
To remind Aomine-kun to stop acting so almighty and being so perverted guy.
Aomine snorted after being called pervert by his shadow. He blamed himself of why he can be so stupid and seeing victory as everything?
To remind Murasakibara-kun to stop eating snack and try to eat a healthy meal once in a while.
For once, Murasakibara stopped munching or even snacking. He just stared into the bench where Kuroko used to sit after practice. He could almost picture Kuroko smiling softly and calling his name.
To remind Midorima-kun that not all the horoscopes from Oha Asa is correct.
Midorima remembered that phrase very well. Seeing that for once, Kuroko dared to save Midorima's live and risked his own even after Midorima said to Kuroko, "Don't be stupid, Kuroko. Oha Asa said that Cancer has the best luck while Aquarius has the worst luck today."
To remind Momoi-san that I am not her boyfriend and she shouldn't worry so much about Ahomine-kun.
Momoi sniffed and thought, 'Why?! I love you, Tetsu-kun! And why did you need to remind me again? Can I dream, please…?' She made a mental note to torture Dai-chan because she is so upset today.
To remind Akashi-kun that mirror is not that bad. He should try to look into mirror more and be himself.
Akashi's eyebrows twitched in disgust when Kuroko said 'mirror' again like its nothing even though he knew for sure that the said captain hates mirror. But deep down, he nearly gave in and looked into mirror as if he felt like the mirror could give him an answer he needed regarding Kuroko's words.
All of the beginning is coming to an end. I just think that maybe we don't have to say goodbye at all since we are never saying hello to each other.
So, why bother to say goodbye to a stranger?
Their hearts felt like being crushed as they realized, that even since their talents had bloomed perfectly, they had been treating Kuroko like a trash, like a complete stranger. They always thought they could win even without Kuroko's basketball. And now they know that they had been wrong all this time.
Until we meet again, if you won't change, just remember what I told you above.
.

P.S: Akashi-kun, have you understood what I mean back then? If not, then I think we should have a proper talk next time. Don't have to wait for it, Akashi-kun. The same with you all. Just wait and without you realizing it, we are already talked face-to-face.

Sincerely yours,
(Ex)Phantom Sixth Man
This time, they didn't hold anything back.

Three Months Later…
"Kuroko, you bastard!" A red-haired boy with double eyebrows and a pair of pierce eyes hit the teal-haired boy behind him with his fist fair and square on the latter's head.
"Ow, Kagami-kun. Please be gentle. I have a weak stamina, you see." He said in a matter-of-fact tone which made Kagami rolled his eyes.
"That's got nothing to do with scaring me earlier in the morning!" Kagami hit Kuroko's head once again but Kuroko managed to dodge and was gone in the next second Kagami blinked his eyes.
.
.
.
"WHAT THE HELL, KUROKO!?" He screamed at the top of his lungs while gripping his head with both hands.
-[x]-
Kuroko was walking home from his new school after his sudden disappearance from Kagami's sight with a book on his hand. Even though the book is opened and he flipped the page continuously, but Kuroko never really read that book as his mind wandered around to where he used to be happy two years ago.
Right, Teiko's Middle School. Specifically, Basketball Gymnasium Hall.
He really missed those days of foolishness but deep down he knew that things wouldn't go as planned. He knew from long time ago when he first saw his appearance on his mirror that live won't go as he wanted it to be.
It feels like, he was made to be an enemy with Earth.
'How unfortunate of me.' Kuroko thought but stopped on his track when he looked up from his book and saw a group of man with rainbow heads.
'Oh, I hope they haven't found anything about me, yet.' Kuroko said to himself and tried to use his misdirection as he walked through the crowd.
"Kuro-chin?" He halted automatically.
'Crap.' Kuroko turned his head and was met with five pair of eyes that was widened for some reason—not that he wants to think about the reasons since he is particularly one of the many reasons. He looked towards the tallest among them who called him earlier. Murasakibara wore a Yosen Jersey and those lazy eyes of his never changed. It made Kuroko's inside stir with both happiness and sadness.
"Oh, hello, Murasakibara-kun." He closed his book with a loud 'thud!' before bowing slightly, showing his politeness that also haven't changed.
"Kuroko…" The said man turned his head to the caller and bowed silently.
"Long time no see, Midorima-kun." He said with a faint smile and pointed towards a sky blue haired hair band he wore, "…Still believing in Oha Asa's Horoscope, huh?" The green haired man nodded and blushed. Heh, tsundere as ever.
"Tetsu.. How's ya goin'?" Aomine offered his fist shakily in hope he won't get rejected like what he did to Kuroko in their past games. Kuroko only grabbed his fist and lowered it to his side while smiling half-heartedly which startling the taller man but the latter only smiled sadly.
"I am fine and I hope Aomine-kun and Momoi-san are well with my absence."
"…Yes, we are well. You don't have to worry, Tetsu." Aomine said while looking down at his feet. Kuroko nodded and patted his arm.
"Kurokocchi~!" Kuroko jabbed the blond haired man's ribs before the latter could bone-crushing him with his deadly—slightly annoying—hug.
"Please refrain from hugging me, Kise-kun."
"But I missed you-ssu! Let me hug you, Kurokoc—" Kuroko jabbed Kise's ribs again with so much force that Kise can't speak at the moment as he collapsed to the floor as a jelly-o.
He glanced at the last man with red-crimson hair and mismatched eyes who looked all gloomy.
"Hello, Akashi-kun. I see that you have been well these past months." Kuroko—once again—bowed down. Akashi raised one of his hands as a cue for him to stop his politeness… or more.
"I take that as enough, Tetsuya." He said with much venom in his voice and snipping voice could be heard.
"What do you mean, Akashi-kun?" Kuroko tilted his head as the others did the same.
"I had had enough. We had had enough. Stop this act right away and tell me what you were planning right from the start." The rest directed their gazes to Kuroko's dull one as his lips turned into a thin line. By then, they were startled when a faint smirk appeared on the phantom sixth man.
"Why, does my letter not into your liking, Akashi-kun?"
"…"
No one dared to speak until a soft muttering came from the shortest among the group.
"Don't you also realize it? I had had enough of myself."
Finally, the editing is finished! Thank God!

Stay tuned for the next chapter! :)
