"Everyone's here? Hmn? Junpei, Midorima-kun, Aomine-kun, Kise-kun, Akaashi-kun, Murasakibara-kun, Kagami-kun, Kuro.. Wait. Where is Kuroko?" Riko yelled. All if them were currently waiting in front of their bus while Riko was checking the attendance.

"DID ANYONE SEE KUROKO???AHHHHH!" Kagami screamed as the presence of a certain blue haired boy appeared out of nowhere. "From where did you fall?"

"I was here the whole time, Kagami-kun." Kuroko said, panting, with Nigou resting on his head.

"Don't lie to me, you're still panting!" Kagami said. (XD, I took this from the anime/manga itself)

"Fine, everyone's here then? Good! Get in the bus! We're leaving in 5 minutes!" Riko piped in.

The bus left Seirin at 6:30 pm for the Summer Festival.

At 5:41 am, they reached the venue. Riko had to almost kick everyone's butts to wake them up. Though she's not saying that she didn't observe the couples, and to-be couples sleep on each other's shoulders for a few minutes. Creepy. Well, she couldn't help it. The way, their little Kuroko curled up into a ball and snuggled inside Kagami's arms was wayyy too cute.

"Get your lazy asses up, will you?!!? We're going to lodge in a hotel for a week and you can sleep as much as you want!!!" Hyuuga helped, as Riko threw him a grateful smile.

They got up in the hotel, and Riko announced, "We've got four rooms, so who's with who?"

"I'll room with Kurokocchi!!!" Kise was saying but was cut off by a glaring Aomine. "Shut up! You're rooming with me! And that's it!"

"But Kurokocchi!!!" Kise whined, but it was all in vain. He was dragged, quite forcefully by Aomine towards their room. And Aomine banged it close behind them. And soon enough, giggling noises and pre-sex moans were heard from inside.

"Ewww. They couldn't wait, can they?" Riko rubbed her temples as she sighed. "So who's next?"

"I'll room with Shintarou. Shintarou, follow me." Akaashi's words were absolute as Midorima followed him without any objection.

"Ookay... So... Wait... Only you two are left?" Riko pointed at the remaining two boys as slowly, but surely, a smile crept up her lips.

"Hyuuga, Atsushi-kun, follow me! We're rooming together!" She grinned, as she wiggled her eyebrows towards Kagami, making the poor boy blush profusely.

Kagami and Kuroko were proceeding towards their room, when suddenly halted, hearing a weirdly familiar voice that they hated so much.

"Well, well well, what do we have here? The famous duo, in the Summer Festival? What a pleasant surprise!" Nash Gold Jr. smirked as he neared the two glaring boys. "Everything good, huh, Kuroko?"

"Why are you here?" Kagami gritted his teeth as his grip on Kuroko's shoulders got tighter.

"I wasn't talking to you, was I? Now if you will shut your blabbering mouth. Well, Kuroko? Wanna hang out with me for a while?" Nash caressed Kuroko's blue bangs and put one strand behind his ear. Kagami hated that predatory glint in his eyes as if he'd devour the small boy if Kagami wasn't there.

"Don't you dare touch him." The rough and angered voice of Kagami brought Nash's attention towards him.

"Oh? I can't touch him?" Nash smirked wider as he did a sudden tug and pulled Kuroko right onto his chest. "And who're you to decide that? His boyfriend?" Nash laughed like a maniac as his left hand drew circles on Kuroko's arms. This made Kagami madder. He looked at Kuroko who had a monotone face and was looking down. This sent him to the edge.

"You let him touch you, that bastard... And yet... " He stopped as he shook in anger. "Have it your way then. Whatever you do, it's not my business anyways." Kagami spent one last longing look at Kuroko before stomping towards their room.

"Ha, coward. Such a disgusting shit, isn't he? I'm surprised you even tolerate him!" Nash laughed, his golden bangs covering his eyes. "So, what d'you say? We continue where we left off?"

"Stop." Kuroko murmured.

"Hmm? What d'you say, Kuroko?" Nash looked at the short boy, grinning.

"I SAID STOP! DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT KAGAMI-KUN! STOP YOUR SHIT, IT MAKES ME SICK." Kuroko yelled shocking himself and of course, the blonde boy. By then, they've grabbed attention of quite a number of people.

"Stop? Come with me. I'll show you who's in charge here. You'll regret ever talking back to me." Nash said viciously, his eyes glinting, looking at Kuroko like a prey.

He grabbed Kuroko's wrist roughly as he pulled the boy towards the backyard of the hotel.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kuroko shouted, but no was present to listen to his cries as Nash dragged him with him.

"Cry as loud as you can, lil' boy. But alas! Your hot headed boyfriend isn't here to save your day, like a Knight in shining armor." He smiled wide, his perfect white teeth showing, "I like it better when my prey fights back."

"Leave me alone!!!" Kuroko was on the verge of tears. He shivered in disgust as the hands of the taller boy roamed across his petite frame. If only, if only Kagami was there...

Suddenly, a deep voice stopped Nash's action as he turned towards the presence of a third person. When Kuroko felt the silence, he looked the way Nash was looking and gasped.

"Tetsuya?"

It was their leader, whose words were absolute. There he was, Akashi Seijuro, standing just a few metres away, looking at Nash with a murderous look in his eyes. If looks could kill, Nash would've died by now.

"No one dares to touch our Tetsuya, not even us. So, think about it, Nash Gold Jr. ; where will you run?"
