A/N: Happy Holidays Everyone and Thank You again for reading this!

I decided to split this last chapter in two. The reason will be explained later.

I translated this rather fast so probably you´ll find a typo or two.

Chapter 6.1

Kuroko´s Grudge

Kuroko woke up. He wasn´t alone in the four-poster bed.

He put his hand on sleeping Momoi's naked belly. His former manager was sleeping next to him. He touched slowly Momoi´s warm skin. He smiled in the dark.

He had got his revenge.

Kuroko grinned at Momoi´s pink hair. Broken-hearted Aomine would lost part of his wit for sure. His woman was now Kuroko´s, although, Kuroko wasn´t interested about her at all. Right now Kuroko was actually imagining someone else next to him.

He squeezed luxurious silk sheet under him. Akashi´s home was now his. Akashi wasn´t above him anymore.

I am the absolute one now.

Kuroko opened his eyes and stared at Momoi´s face. Midorima´s sight wouldn´t ever come back to normal – at least, not the way it used to be, he wouldn´t make his miracle shots anymore.

Kuroko stroked Momoi´s long hair. Kise´s good looks were gone for now. He had lost part of his pride.

Kuroko licked Momoi´s neck and pretended it was His neck.

Murasakibara would´ve to settle for those few positions that drug users would get.

Then Kuroko woke up, for real this time. He layed on the large bed and squeezed a sheet that actually was made of silk. But there wasn´t anyone else. Kuroko was alone in the dark.

Kuroko took a deep breath and looked out of the mansion´s window. He wasn´t satisfied. The Revenge needed a climax. After that Kuroko could tell Shige that they had a chance to play basketball together again.


´Let´s just throw him into the ocean´, Aomine suggested and chewed his food.

´Too much effort´, Murasakibara mumbled, mouth full of fishrolls, ´I´ll crush him.´

´Guys, hold on a sec´, Kise took part in a conversation, his fork upright on the hand, ´we can´t make a crime. I think we should talk with Kurocchi´s mom.´

´Who happens to be engaged with my father´, Akashi pointed out coldly and was disgusted about his company´s table manners, ´Tetsuya will find out, and I doubt he´ll come back to normal just because his mother asks nicely.´

´We need a bad luck charm for him´, Midorima said in the middle.

Aomine sighed.

The Generation of Miracles sat together in the School Cafeteria. They had finally talked together about the resent events. Kuroko had moved to Akashi´s mansion the day before.

´What if Momocchi tries to get him in senses?´ Kise suggested. ´She´s the only one of us who didn´t get Kurocchi angry.´

´Leave Satsuki out of this´, Aomine growled, ´Tetsu can use her and he won´t care about her being part of Meiko´s game or not.´

Kise sighed and put his head between his hands on the table. His black eye had healed. He had a small blond stubble on his head and it actually didn´t look that bad. Some girls had started to talk to him again earlier that day.

´I told you guys that we did wrong. If we have known that Kurocchi had a friend there… Why Kurocchi took it so hard? Unbelievable, how far he went just for revenge´, Kise talked against the table. ´We were just kidding.´

Akashi wasn´t looking any of them.

´He got hurt way before that game´, Aomine said gloomily, looking at his plate, ´I… I rejected him.´

´And us all´, Akashi pointed out, ´it was your decision to skip practises.´

´Games are not all´, Midorima said, ´because we didn´t honoured the basketball, we got cursed.´

Aomine snorted and said:

´Kuroko did what he did ´cos we´re assholes. But now he´s the biggest asshole!´

Suddenly Akashi hit the table with his fist. A jolt made Murasakibara´s glass fall.

´Hey –!´

But Akashi´s eyes looked enthusiastic.

´The only way to solve this is, naturally… basketball.´

´Huh?´ Aomine looked surprised.

Akashi looked like he used to be. He was assertive.

´We´ll play against him.´


Kuroko looked lazily at the five boy in front of him. They looked angry, to put it mildly.

Here they were, all six, in this very same gym they use to share as a team.

´I shine now brigher than any of you´, Kuroko said manicly, ´even though I´m the shadow. That´s how dark you all are.´

Murasakibara took a step forward, but Akashi stopped him with his hand and shook his head.

´Play against us now, Tetsuya. Then we´ll see how vigorous you actually are´, Akashi said calmly. He always sounded so sophisticated.

This proposal made Kuroko surprised.

´You´ve never lost, Akashi-kun. Are you sure that you´re ready for it?´

Akashi raised his jaw.

"Winning is the same thing as breathing. It´s a basic organ function.´

Kuroko smiled at him. That´s the captain he knew.

´I see… Then I´ll just have to... stop you breathing

Akashi´s orange eye gleamed.

´Tsch´, Aomine snorted and said annoyed:

´Okey, Tetsu, one-on-one –games, against all of us. If you lose, you´ll confess your actions… And you´ll stop being such an asshole!´

Kuroko nodded and said loudly:

´If I lose against even one of you, I´ll move away from mansion and I won´t look at Momoi anymore. I´ll go to police and tell I doped Mukkun. And I´ll let Haizaki beat me.´

He looked at them without blinking eyes and wasn´t smiling.

´Midorima, if I lose, I´ll donate my right eye to you.´

His opponents looked stunned.

´But´, Kuroko continued calmly, ´if I win, I´ll own you all.´

Aomine snorted again but Akashi looked judicious.

´Well then´, Kuroko´s former captain said, ´let´s play.´

They called to Momoi, who agreed to be a referee. She looked little bit frightened when se entered the gym. Kuroko was amused when she avoided his eyes and Aomine tried to be close to her.

Kise was Kuroko´s first opponent.

´Five baskets will win´, Akashi said loudly and tossed the ball to Kise.

Kise catched the ball and waited Momoi´s whistle.

´You chanced too, Kurocchi´, Kise pointed out sadly, ´can´t we make this up? Like... humanly?´

Kuroko stared Kise´s left foot that still had a bruise. He shook his head.

´You were monsters first. You copied wrong people, Kise. You wanted to prosper but you didn´t care about others.´

Kise looked shocked. He wasn´t use to be unpopular.

Then they heard the whistle.

Kise bounced the ball and looked him sharply. Then he tried to pass him from the right – as expected because it was now his stronger side – and Kuroko stole the ball. Kise´s eyes widened.

Kuroko turned quickly and tossed the ball to the basket.

Another whistle.

´You haven´t seen me tossing´, Kuroko said, enjoying the moment, ´but you know what? I started to play basketball three years before you, Kise.´

Shige had taught him before Teiko and before Akashi created his weak version. Shige was actually with him right now. Kuroko touched his wristwarmers.

Then a new try, new steal and a new basket. Kuroko led two-zero.

´Kurocchi…´ Kise gasped, still using nickname. He looked a little bit afraid. He put a weight on his right foot clearly now.

´We´re friends.´

´Tell me, Kise´, Kuroko started, ´what kind of friend makes me hate something I love

Kuroko ran so Kise had to lean on the left foot. He tried to toss but the ball rebounded and Kuroko made his third point.

Kise´s expression revealed that he was in pain – probably both mentally and physically. When Kuroko heard the whistle again, he spread his both arms on the sides. Kise tried to toss, but he missed again. Like Kuroko had expected, Haizaki´s actions still affected on him.

´I am sorry, Kurocchi –´

Kuroko made his fourth basket. And after that, winning was easy.

Momoi blew on the whistle twice.

´Ki-chan´, Satsuki said with worry and walked to him and put her hand on his shoulder. Kise leaned on his knees.

´Midocchi´, Kise gasped, ´you must use your shots.´

Midorima took his place. He missed his first toss. Kuroko took the ball and made a basket as easily as his miracle pass.

´Kuroko´, Midorima said, ´I had nothing to do with that stupid point goal against Meiko. You know that I´m not like them.´

´Yes, you play like you want´, Kuroko said, ´but I think you could´ve shoot more than eleven points. You followed your captains orders blindly.´

Then Kuroko stole the ball from Midorima and made another shot.

´Stars aren´t in my favor today´, Midorima said.

Kuroko gave a laugh.

´It´s you, Midorima, nothing else.´

Midorima´s other eye was reddish. He made one point but Kuroko won him easily.


Aomine was surprised how good Tetsu was nowadays. He´ve got use to see Tetsu pass the pall. Had Aomine missed Tetsu´s improvement ´cos he stopped practising with him? On the other hand, this new Tetsu had surprised him earlier too. This Tetsu was way too self-confident.

Tetsu won the two of them, Kise and then Midorima.

´Crush him´, Kise muttered to Murasakibara.

Murasakibara took a lead with three points. Aomine was hopeful. They had to won him. In turn, he wanted to play against Tetsu. It had been a long time since he had a proper opponent.

But then Tetsu changed the rhythm of the game. He was faster than before. Murasakibara was wobbling strangely.

´Murocchi isn´t okey´, Kise said.

Kuroko won again.

´Mukkun!´ Satsuki yelled and helped this to sit down.

Murasakibara panted and swept his hair away from forehead. He was probably still suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

´Fuck…´

´Can´t you see?´ Tetsu asked calmly and bounced the ball, ´I am the absolute… abysmal.´

He looked at them, one after another.

´You can´t win me because you want to play alone. Murasakibara, hard work will get rewarded. Midorima, pure lack won´t make you happy. Kise, friendship isn´t same as winning.´

Then Tetsu looked at Aomine without a smile.

´Aomine, I won´t ever get bored to win with my friends. That´s our biggest difference.´

Aomine grinned and walked in front of him. He stole the ball to himself.

´Skip the prattle, Tetsu. I´m gonna make you feel sorry!´

Satsuki blew the whistle. Aomine dodged and ran fast, passing Tetsu. Then he leaned back and tossed the ball towards the basket. He smiled triumphantly. But then a dark shadow appeared above and blocked his toss.

Tetsu landed with the ball and said:

´I´ve seen you make that shot more often than anyone else. Normally I couldn´t block you, but –´

Tetsu turned his face toward him. Red eyes were on flames. Aomine had never seen him like this. Tetsu tossed the ball over his shoulder and it went through the basket.

´Zone´, Akashi whispered, sounding almost admirable.

When Tetsu led four-two, he asked:

´Are you still bored, Aomine-kun?´


Somehow Akashi knew that he would get a chance to play against Tetsuya. He was their last hope.

Akashi walked on the game area. The air felt electric.

Tetsuya took his hand on his own and looked at his eyes. They shook hands like this was an official game.

Suddenly Akashi understood.

He knew, why Tetsuya had changed so dramatically. He saw something familiar in his red eyes.

´Tetsuya… I see it… Finally´, Akashi said quietly. Even though Tetsuya had been unbearable these last days, Akashi had to admit, he was amazing.

Akashi drew him closer.

´You loved Ogiwara´, Akashi whispered in his ear.
