The two days passed rather normally for kuroko. Everything that he experienced on the first day, minus the tests and yelling, was exactly what he did for the days after. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, locked in a luxurious prison to sleep for the next day. But today was the day that kuroko would find out his test results. Breakfast had already been delivered to kuroko's door. Today's meal was poached eggs on toast with a side of bacon. Kuroko took the silver tray to his bed and stared at the gorgeous food.

"This... this may possibly be my last meal…"

Kuroko gulped before carefully cutting into the egg, letting the slimy yellow liquids to run down onto the toast. He picked up the toast and slowly took a bite of it. Flavor burst through his taste buds and kuroko was in bliss. Savoring every bite of his meal, even going as far as to lick up the crumbs and leftover yolk from the polished porcelain.

Kuroko put his plate to the side and decided to get ready for the day. He put on his jeans and black top. He went to the bathroom and brushed his hair and teeth before sitting down on his bed to look at his phone. Another text from Momoi left unread by kuroko.

11:03 PM

Hey...it's been a few days since you came home. Are you okay?

Kuroko sighed. He couldn't just leave the world without saying something to momoi.

"Yeah. I'm just fine. Thank you for being such a good friend. Your the only one who cares for me."

Kuroko lingered over the send button. He was reluctant to send the message. If he sent the text and he didn't die today, that would be an awkward conversation later on.

"I'm fine. They are taking good care of me. I'll be home soon."

Kuroko hit send and closed his phone. He let the device fall to his side. A little sigh left his lips.

It would be better if she didn't know.

A knock at the door startled kuroko out of his thoughts.

Kagami opened the door with a serious face.

"Hey, it's time. Akashi wants you in his office."

Kuroko gulped before hesitantly following kagami out of the room and to akashi's office.

He barely had time to enjoy his morning. Kuroko couldn't help but think of all the things he could have done with his life. He thought of how sad momoi would be. He silently prayed an apology to momoi for all the trouble and worry he may cause her in the future. Momoi was his only friend and he was sad that he was going to leave her alone in this unforgiving world.

Kuroko looked ahead. Akashi's office door lingered in front of him. Fear started to weld up in his chest. The minute he entered the room was when his fate would be decided. He would either be chained by the fate of his doing, or be fated to die. Kuroko gulped as kagami knocked on the door.

Akashi's rumbling voice shook kuroko to his core.

"Come in."

The two entered the office and sat down per akashi's orders. On the wooden desk sat a manilla folder with the words: Medical Document-- Kuroko, Tetsuya, and a revolver lying parallel to the folder, its barrel pointing in kuroko's direction.

Kuroko let out a shaky breath as akashi pulled his chair closer to the desk, resting his hand on the folder.

"I would like to thank you tetsuya for behaving yourself for the past few days. I will admit that I was expecting you to put up more of a fight."

Kuroko gave a quick nod, looking anxiously at his future on the table.

Akashi noticed kuroko's anxiety and sighed.

"Well then, let's get to the main reason shall we? I'd like to start with a reminder. I haven't read the test results yet, but if you are positive for any transmittable disease, you will be killed. Your fate will be decided here, by these results. Is that understood?"

Kuroko nodded. His eyes started to glisten with tears. His body was shaky and his heart was racing. Kuroko took a small breath before closing his eyes in acceptance.

"Im...I'm ready."

Akashi smirked before slowly opening the manilla folder. Kuroko watched in anticipation as akashi read through the test results. After a few agonising moments, akashi closed the folder and looked kuroko in the eye. Kuroko's eyes broke the stare and blushed.

"What...what does it say?"

Akashi paused to let out a long sigh. It was almost indistinguishable between a sigh of relief and a disappointed sigh, making kuroko uneasy.

"...after reading everything through...you…"

Kuroko and kagami held their breath. The anticipation was killing them.

"Tetsuya you...you are negative for all STDs. Congratulations, your hired."

Kuroko sighed in relief as his heart began to calm down.

"taiga...you may have tetsuya for one week. After that you must trade. You know the rules."

Kagami nodded.

"Yes sir."

"Tetsuya...you are free to move around as you please without a guard now. But be warned, you are a whore for the elites. I warn you not to establish any relation with other subridates. Is this clear?"

Kuroko nodded.

"Yes."

Akashi folded his hands together and nodded.

"Good then. Taiga, I will ask you to leave now. I would like to talk to tetsuya in private."

Kagami nodded and got up from his seat.

"I'll be leaving then. I'll see you later tonight kuroko."

Kuroko nodded and watched as kagami left the room. When the door clicked closed, kuroko turned his attention back to akashi.

"What did you want to talk about, akashi-sama?"

Akashi quirked his brow at the new name.

"What's with the sudden formalities? What you called me before was fine."

Kuroko blushed a little.

"I'm sorry akashi-kun…"

Akashi shook his head before pushing the folder towards kuroko.

" Nevermind that now, I wanted you to have a look at your results."

Kuroko took the folder and opened it up.

"you see tetsuya, the results found no stds, however it did find some troubling health problems that should be treated."

Kuroko looked at the blood results first. He found that some of the numbers were in the red zone.

"What troubling health concerns?"

Akashi sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"Not only are you anemic, but your body condition score is 1 out of 5, 3 being healthy. I don't even know how your standing, let alone...do what you do everyday."

Kuroko nodded.

"I know akashi-kun. I was just thinking that my body has become a bit unappealing. I'll work my way up a 2 if you keep providing meals...or at least pay me."

Akashi cringed lightly.

"No. You will get up to a healthy weight. You will no longer eat what everyone else eats. Special meals will be prepared for you that will both increase your weight and help with your anemia. I need you to have enough energy to keep up with your job. You will eat everything that is given to you, alright?"

Kuroko sighed. He wasn't a very big eater, but he wouldn't decline a free meal. And if the meals would help with his nauseous spells then he wouldn't complain.

"Alright. But tell the chef that I'm not a very big eater. Big meals will make me vomit."

Akashi smirked.

"Will do. Oh by the way, shintaro's assistant has your iron pills ready for you at the clinic. Before you go anywhere else, please go there and pick them up."

Kuroko cringed.

"Pills?"

Akashi paused.

"Is that a problem tetsuya?"

Kuroko looked a little guilty.

"Well...I'm not very good with pills...I can swallow any liquid, but pills are a bit…"

Akashi shrugged.

"I don't see a problem then. Just mix the pills with water. As long as you're getting your iron, I don't care how you take it. You could drink others blood for all I care."

Kuroko giggled at that one.

"I'm not a vampire akashi-kun."

Akashi took back the folder and slid the gun back into his desk.

"I'm just saying get your iron. It will make you feel better. And if I find out that you haven't been taking them, there will be a price to pay."

Kuroko nodded before standing up.

"Thank you for caring akashi-kun. I'll be sure to repay you someday."

Akashi smirked at the statement.

"Oh? Will you? Does that mean you plan on pleasuring me one day?"

Kuroko gave a flirty posture, with a finger to his own lips.

"I won't share any secrets, but I'm pretty confident that I can win your game. I learned from my mother, after all."

Akashi raised an eyebrow.

"Your mother taught you how to whore?"

Kuroko hummed. He really shouldn't have said anything.

"Well, it doesn't matter who taught me...all that matters is that I will make my way up the latter. You better be prepared to receive your thank you gift."

Akashi let a growl like rumble from his throat.

"We will see, tetsuya. The game may break you before that can happen."

Kuroko smirked.

"We'll see about that."

Kuroko pushed in his chair before giving akashi a polite bow.

"I'll be leaving now."

Akashi waved his hand.

"Yes, yes. Hurry up to the clinic, I will see you at dinner tonight."

Kuroko bowed again before leaving the office quietly. Kuroko let out a sigh. He was one test result away from dying. He could have been shot to death in that office. A shiver went down kuroko's spine at the thought. He was quite grateful for a lot of things right now. The fact that he was still alive and being treated for his inemia was a godsend. Not to mention he was getting 3 meals a day and was going to be paid for his job. He was able to live in a mansion with his own bathroom,closet, and bed. Here he was thriving and he was so thankful for it. Now all he had to do was win at akashi's game... whatever that meant.
