So read and hope that you enjoy it! This is the earliest that I've ever updated a story so its thanks to you guys, I guess?
Time to read my story that I want you to enjoy!
My embrace is a fortress to you; I am thrown away by others
Love - I can't see the end of that dark tunnel so I'm very afraid
Like a desert with a blazing sun, like a person crying out of thirst
Kiss me ma baby, before this night is over, hurry to me, day by day.
(Day by Day- T-ara)
Kagami lifted Kuroko off the motorcycle once they arrived at Seirin. There were many soldiers walking around talking or making their way towards the borders of Seirin to guard their territory.
"Oi Kagami!" A noisy voice yelled and Kagami instantly groaned in exasperation while Kuroko only held onto Kagami's hand. The person approaching them was one of Seirin's best shooters, Takao Kasumi. She's known specially for her special ability that is the 'Hawk Eye' which allows her to see anything that is at a range that's faraway from anyone else's range of sight. She's considered as Midorima's greatest opponent due to her ability as a shooter as well as her ability to see what no one could expect.
"What are you doing here, Takao?" Kagami groaned as Takao approached them.
"Well, Riko sent me to check if you hadn't done anything to poor Tetsuki." Takao replied as she embraced Tetsuki whom hugged her back with a softer grip than the taller's.
"Why do you two always think that I'm going to do something perverted to Kuroko?" Kagami sighed as he crossed his arms.
"Tet-chan, did Kagami touch you in your forbidden places?" Takao smiled at Kagami who growled at the latter. Takao knew from day one that Kagami had feelings for the young bluenette and she would never waste an opportunity to annoy him in the way that she does.
"He did not, Takao-chan. So how are you doing?" Kuroko touched Takao's face gently causing Takao to distract her attention from annoying Kagami to her friend.
"I'm fine. Just that those jerks from Teiko tortured another one of our guys, like seriously. They cut off his tongue, burned his hands and I think that they also burned his eyes. I ran out of there when I saw him before I said something that I wasn't supposed to say." Takao shuddered as Kagami felt like he was going to puke. Kuroko stayed where she was because whatever Takao said that was related to Teiko never shook her off.
"Too graphic, Takao." Kagami growled as he felt the bile from his stomach go down instead of going up.
"Sorry. I'm just stating what I saw."
"Takao, stop torturing Taiga. You know that he hates that kind of things." A soft velvety voice said from behind Takao. They all turned to see that it was Kagami's adopted elder sister, Himuro Tamaki. She was a normal soldier who entered the same time as Kagami did with the exception that she used her blades with an impeccable prowess that any one who encountered her felt humiliated, she was also one of the best spies that there were in Seirin. She was one of the infiltrated agents in Teiko, she worked under Murasakibara as his assistant. She had been working undercover for almost 2 complete years without getting caught by Teiko.
"Tamaki, what are you doing here? I thought that you were undercover." Kagami asked with confusion in his face.
"I am but I sneaked out of Teiko. Its hard getting out of there if I'm not with Atsushi." Himuro sighed as she looked at her adoptive brother until she spotted Kuroko standing next Takao. "Kuroko-chan! I haven't seen you in so long! Its been almost 5 months that I haven't seen you." Himuro embraced Kuroko and started twirling her around as if she was a ragdoll.
"It's nice to hear from you, Himuro-chan." Kuroko replied once Himuro was done twirling her around who had started snuggling against her small frame along with Takao.
"I missed your monotonous voice." Himuro cooed as she sized up Kuroko, Kagami just facepalmed at his sister's attitude.
"We should go, Kuroko. Or else your cousin is going to try and kill me." Kagami grabbed Kuroko away from Takao and Himuro to start walking towards Riko's office. Of course, Takao and Himuro followed suit because they wanted to see in which way would Riko yell at Kagami for bringing her cousin back home so late. They all arrived to Aida Riko's office in which she was revising some papers, along with her second in command Hyuuga Junpei.
"Hi Riko!" Takao yelled with glee, Riko snapped her head back up with a serious look on her face but it instantly dissipated when she spotted her cousin until she looked up at the clock, then the serious glare returned with a more intense severity in it.
"Kagami, what kind of hour do you think it is to bring back Tetsuki?! You could've been caught by Teiko and you could've been killed and worse! You could've gotten Kuroko caught by Teiko! Who knows what they would have done to her if they had caught her?!" Riko shook Kagami's shoulders even with her small height that only allowed her to reach Kagami's shoulders but that didn't stop her from being able to intimidate Kagami.
"Riko, I wanted to stay longer. He just let me stay longer, that's all." Kuroko defended Kagami causing for Takao's and Himuro's fun to be over.
"Fine. But he should call me the next time that you stay longer." Riko replied as she let go of Kagami. "Himuro, give me a status report."
"Teiko has been hunting down for something that can help them in dominating the entire area, I don't know what it is but it must be something that could end with Seirin." Himuro confessed.
"Who knows what it is but it doesn't matter because we are not going to let them end us." Riko stated.
"Me and Tet-chan are going to go to bed now~" Takao cooed as she dragged Kuroko away from Riko and Kagami.
"But I haven't eaten." Kuroko commented softly as she felt how Takao dragged her away from her cousin. "Good night everyone."
"Oi! She still needs to eat!" Riko yelled as she dragged both girls to the dining hall.
Midorima and Aomine walked inside of Teiko's main building in which all of the commanders resided, they made their way to where all of the commanders would usually meet up. When they entered the meeting room, they were greeted by the sight of Murasakibara threatening one of his soldiers, Momoi was on her tablet that contained all the information that she needed, Kise was making out with one of the female soldiers and Akashi was nowhere in sight.
"What do you mean that you can't find Muro-chin?" They saw how Murasakibara threatened one of his soldiers.
"Sir, she's been missing for a while. We believe that she's out on a walk. Remember that she has the tendency to do so." The soldier claimed silently and Murasakibara let him go causing him to fall down on the ground.
"When Muro-chin comes back, tell her to pass by my office." Murasakibara ordered and his soldiers left instantly.
"Murasakibara, you really like that girl." Midorima stated with a lifeless tone to his voice.
"Shut up, Mido-chin." Midorima stared at Murasakibara with a stern look on his face while Kise left with the female soldier.
"Shintarou, what news do you bring for me?" Akashi entered the room to sit down on his chair. "Atsushi and Satsuki, leave the room. This is between Shintarou, Daiki and I."
"Hai, Aka-chin." Murasakibara and Momoi left the room in which both Aomine and Midorima stayed.
"Well, did you find her today?" Akashi's threatening voice caused both men to stay put in their places. "Or do I have to send you to do the same thing tomorrow and everyday after that until you find her alone and bring her to me?"
"No, Akashi! We found her, she was in the border between our territory and Seirin's however..." Aomine started and nudged Midorima so he could continue with the explanation.
"She's blind and for that reason, it seems as though they've commissioned her a bodyguard." Midorima finished with a sigh. Akashi stared at both men as if he was trying to detect if they were lying to him.
"Is that so? Well, it seems that our only minuscule worry is to take down that bodyguard of hers and then we'll be able to take her." Akashi concluded. "You two are dismissed." Aomine and Midorima bolted out of the meeting room but Midorima stopped on his way out.
"Akashi."
"Yes, Shintarou?"
"Her bodyguard's name is Kagami, I think. They were too faraway for me to hear them accurately." Midorima replied.
"Tell Satsuki to come in for me." Midorima nodded and he left the room but not without calling Momoi to enter the room.
"Yes, Akashi?" Momoi entered the room.
"There's someone that I want you to investigate." Akashi replied.
"Is it someone from Seirin?"
"Yes. His name is Kagami. Shintarou didn't give me a first name which means that we only know his last name though I doubt that there are large amounts of people named Kagami." Momoi started instantly to search the name through Seirin's database that she managed to hack through and found the name.
"Kagami Taiga. 20 years old. Has the rank of lead war general due to his excelling abilities on the battlefield. Current assignment is guarding Kuroko Tetsuki." Momoi read what was displayed on the tablet screen. "Is she the girl that you were looking for?"
"Yes, now search Kuroko Tetsuki for me." Akashi requested, Momoi nodded her head as she typed the name in the search engine.
"Kuroko Tetsuki. 18 years old. Lost ability of sight at age 6 after devastating fire caused by Teiko destroyed her family and the town in which they used to reside. Relative of Aida Riko." Akashi heard the details of Kuroko's life. "However, when they found her. All of the Teiko soldiers that were sent to burn the town down were burned to death as well as the residents of the town. Reason why she hadn't burned down with rest of the town hasn't been found."
"Thank you, Satsuki. You are dismissed." Momoi nodded and she walked away from. Akashi's desk towards the door. Once she closed it, Akashi smiled to himself before looking out the window.
"Tetsuki... Soon you'll be mine and no one's else."
After Takao and Kuroko had eaten and given their farewells to Himuro whom had to leave, as well as after Takao had gotten nagged by Riko, they walked together to the room that they shared ever since they were young. Due to the fact that both girls were from the same town that got burnt down and that they were friends ever since then, they would share the same room.
"Takao-chan, what date is it today?" Kuroko asked once she sat down on her bed.
"It's December 2nd." Takao replied as she sat down on her bed while taking off her boots.
"It's coming near, right? Our parents' death anniversary." Kuroko responded as she untied her long hair from its confinement that was a ponytail.
"Yeah. It seems like it was just yesterday." Takao mumbled as she got up from her bed to make her way towards Kuroko's but was stopped by the sound of the window breaking, she turned her head slowly towards the window but back to Kuroko whom was soothing her head.
"I'm sorry Takao-chan." Kuroko apologized as she removed her hands from her face. Her natural sky-blue eyes were a golden color, Takao sighed and sat down next to her.
"No. It's just that you have a small trauma about the fire." Takao soothed her friend whose eyes were starting to turn back into blue.
"The last thing that I remember seeing was how everyone burned and how those people from Teiko just smiled at seeing how everyone burned." Kuroko hugged her knees to her body.
"Let's keep our minds off of that!" Takao yelled as she hugged Kuroko. "Ne, Tet-chan? Do you have a crush on Kagami-kun?" Kuroko blushed visibly as she was surprised by the question thrown to her.
"No. Besides how could he like me? I can't see a thing so there's nothing that could happen between us and Riko-chan wouldn't allow it." Kuroko replied sadly as she turned her head towards Takao's direction.
"If only she knew how much that poor fool is in love with her." Takao thought sadly.
"Tet-chan, haven't you thought of telling Riko about your abilities?" Takao questioned as she looked at her friend.
"No. I don't want to tell her. Remember that because of my abilities, everyone back at town died the last time. I don't want that to happen to everyone here in Seirin to die." Kuroko bluntly replied.
"But don't you think that if she knows about your powers, she might find a way to help you regain your sight? That way, you'll be able to see everyone like we can see you."
"I know that my sight is clouded because of my emotional trauma and the fear of not telling everyone about my abilities. But I don't want to risk everyone's lives." Takao sighed knowing that she would never be able to get her way.
"You care about everyone, don't you? I wish that you could see how everyone cares about you too." Kuroko smiled at Takao's response.
"I know that they all care about me." Kuroko replied. "I'm going to bed. Good night Takao-chan."
"Good night Kuroko-chan." Takao made her way to her bed but was stopped once she heard Kuroko's voice.
"Aren't you going to clean up the glass?"
"Well... I don't want to do it tonight, I'm tired. I'll do it tomorrow morning." Kuroko sighed.
PLEASE REVIEW! We finally have a glimpse of Kuroko's powers which only have an effect when she remembers the trauma that she went through when she was little. This chapter was only about the interactions of our characters but next chapter. we'll learn more about Kuroko. The small fragment of Day by Day that I put in the beginning of the chapter is only for references of the song that gave me the inspiration to write this story!
