Tonight, I long for the passing by memories

I hear your voice

The countless nights when we promised eternity

They become tears

Tok, tok, tok

(Day by Day, T-ara)

Takao walked outside of the Kuroko family's cellar while making sure that no one saw her while she held the diary close to her chest. She looked around and once she saw that no one was around, she sighed in relief and walked towards the place where she left Kuroko. She skipped while whistling a soft tune that was repeated by the songbirds that were around the forest but she stopped when she heard the rustling of leaves to her left so she stopped skipping but kept whistling so whoever was following her would kept thinking that she was still unaware of her knowing that she was followed.

She then turned to the direction of where the rustling of the leaves was heard and grabbed her gun that was on her side.

"Come out and I might not kill you." Takao said coldly towards the patch of trees knowing that someone was hiding behind them so she placed her finger on the trigger to emphasize her point.

"No need for so much violence, Takao!" She heard a familiar voice yell from the trees and saw that it was Riko, Himuro, Kiyoshi and Kagami who were hiding in the trees so she lowered her gun until she could place back in its holster and gave a silly smile.

"Sorry guys! Thought that you were trailing me to kill me." Takao excused herself with a smile plastered upon her face.

"Maybe you should ask who is there before threatening them." Riko suggested using the same tone of voice that Takao had used before on them.

"So scary!" Takao dashed to hide behind Himuro who just smiled and started to pat her head and looked in the direction of where Takao had just come out.

"So what were you doing in there, Takao?" Himuro's friendly aura changed into a deadly one and before Takao could escape, she was grabbed tightly by Himuro. "Are you going to tell me why you were in there or do I have to force you?"

"Fine just don't hurt me!" Takao exclaimed as she held on even closer to the diary in her arms causing Kagami to notice what was in her arms.

"What's that, Takao?" Kagami pointed to the book that she was clutching onto which caused everyone to look at the diary that ended up in Takao being scared of the stares that she received.

"Fine. This is what I went for in that cellar." Takao lifted the diary for all of them to see.

"Isn't that where my aunt's house used to be?" Riko questioned and Takao nodded. "But why would you go in there for a book?"

"I know that it's going to take a while for me to explain this to you so I'm just going to let you guys read it from here." Takao handed the book to Riko who grabbed it and started to flip around the pages looking around until she stopped at the last entry that was written in the diary.

"Once more I have refused another offer from Teiko for my town to join their faction. The reason due to the fact that I continue to refuse their offers is to keep safe the secret of my beloved wife, Nana, and my only child, Tetsuki. The secret of that they have the abilities that are capable enough to end this continuous feud between Teiko and Seirin that has lasted for almost 100 years. If I let people know about my wife and child, what is most certain is that Teiko would come to kill me and take my wife and child away just to annihilate Seirin." Riko gaped at Takao who just nodded at how everyone reacted to what Riko had just read but everyone gestured to Riko to keep reading the entry.

"So I will keep this secret from everyone that knows me personally and have it until the day I die just to protect my wife and child, Tetsuki. I will send my dear Nana and Tetsuki abroad to make sure that they will be safe in another country that is not this one, one that is not suffering of war. I know that they will be sent away and that they'll be free from this place, I will be sending them away this Saturday. I know that Tetsuki will be sad once she know that she has to leave her one friend that knows her secret but this is for her and her mother's good and I hope that she understands this when she grows up." Riko finished reading with an awed expression on her face but the one to interrupt the silence was Takao.

"They were going to make Tet-chan go abroad without me!" Takao yelled as she felt how Himuro dropped her onto the floor with a painful plop to the ground.

"That's what you understood from all that?!" Everyone -even peaceful and happy Kiyoshi- yelled at Takao who just stood up.

"No, I understood everything perfectly. I am the only person who knew of the Kuroko family's greatest secret before they all died." Takao gloated with a sad smile plastered on her face. "And I also didn't know that Tet-chan's abilities can stop this whole issue between Teiko and Seirin."

"This must be why my parents and I always had to go visit Auntie Nana at the town. I always thought that it was because she was sick and couldn't leave the mansion because she was scared that she would infect anyone else during the trip." Riko commented.

"She wasn't sick." Takao replied as she grabbed the diary and took some steps away from the small group that they made. "She would just fake continuous sicknesses whenever something important would happen because she was afraid of losing control so she would only come out when it was a party at their mansion. She ended up giving Tet-chan the same fear of losing control and that's why I never told you guys because I was scared of how you would react. Tet-chan said that if she told you guys then you would react poorly to the newly received information and would never treat her the same way that you did before. She said those words from the moment we entered Seirin when we were little."

"Oh my." Himuro whispered as she covered her mouth. "I would never react in a bad way towards Kuroko-chan and you know that."

"But she doesn't believe in that." Kagami answered for Takao knowing what she would say. "Hey, and talking about Kuroko... Where is she?"

Everyone's gazes shifted to Takao who had started to squirm under their gazes.

"Well, I left her in the center of the town because I couldn't bring her with me so that why I left her there." Everyone stared at Takao for stating her reasons of why she left Kuroko alone.

"You are a terrible person." Kiyoshi spoke while chewing on a piece of toffee.

"I didn't do it on purpose besides she told me to go." Takao defended herself.

"Well, then just lead the way and we'll go to where she is and we'll all go home and we'll talk about this." Kiyoshi concluded.

"I have to go back to Teiko before they suspect but okay." Himuro commented and they started to make their way towards Kuroko.

Kuroko could only feel Akashi's absolute presence choking her completely as she tried to calm her powers down.

"Akashi-kun, I'm begging you to just leave and forget me. I'm not in love with you and I will never be in love with you, no matter what you do to me or Seirin but I just can't love you." Kuroko's swift blunt words shocked Akashi but he didn't want to do anything of what she just said. He grabbed Kuroko's face roughly and pulled her towards him while looking into her sapphire blue eyes that were emotionless but he knew that she was scared of him finding out about her abilities.

"Why would you say such things to me, Tetsuki? Do you really not know what my true feelings for you are?" Kuroko could hear the irritation and anger in his voice but she knew better than to irritate him even more. But she knew the reason why he was saying all of this.

"You want me to go with you to Teiko?" Kuroko questioned the question that Akashi wanted her to ask him causing him smile softly while caressing her hair softly.

"Of course I would want you to come with me. You are my intended after all." Kuroko started feeling that he truly wanted to be with her but she soon shook off that idea away from her head for the sake of her own sanity.

"You are just asking to seem nice for when you take me by force." Kuroko's reply seemed to be exactly what Akashi had expected.

"Always so smart, aren't you Tetsuki?" Akashi answered with swiftness.

"Well, you must be deluding yourself if you actually think that I'm going to go with you to Teiko when you are the ones who murdered my family and everyone I knew." Kuroko concluded with a cold tone to her voice.

"Well, my dear Tetsuki... It seems like you want me to take you to Teiko by force." Akashi said as he got up from the bench to grab Kuroko's wrist by force and pulling her up to him.

"Let me go, Akashi-kun."

"Or what? You wouldn't dare to use your abilities against me, Tetsuki." Akashi taunted Kuroko as she tried to pull her wrist from his tight grip.

"I could. I wouldn't use them if you were like the same boy that I remember who wouldn't try to force me to do anything against my will because he cared about me! And he would never do such a thing to me." Kuroko spat back at Akashi who just grabbed her chin and pulled her closer to him. "And this is why my father broke off the engagement because he knew that you would end up being a tyrant just like your father and he didn't want me to be the rest of my life with a heartless and sadistic tyrant!"

"If you could see, you'd be seeing flames surrounding us because if you get mad then you only use fire which is the only thing hat hurts that you remember perfectly." Akashi smiled. He wasn't even wounded by all the words that came out of Kuroko's mouth because he knew that those must have been what she heard about him.

"I like this reaction coming from her. It suits her, it shows to me that she does have emotions and that she can be manipulated." Akashi thought as he looked at Kuroko who's anger didn't seem to dissipate any time soon.

"I wouldn't mind burning like everyone else that I knew did if I could get away from you." Kuroko replied with coldness. However the reaction she got from Akashi was not the one she would expect.

"If you burn then who would I take by force to Teiko?" Akashi taunted as he whispered into her ear but he separated away from her and let go of Kuroko's wrist causing her to scramble a few steps away from Akashi. "You should calm yourself down, Tetsuki. Wouldn't want your friends to know about your abilities or would we?"

"What?"

"They're here. I heard them approaching a while ago but it seems as though they're lost but with Takao as their guide, they might find us so I will just take my leave." Akashi commented as he started to walk away but stopped right in front of Kuroko who was trying to calm down her speeding heartbeat that was controlling the flames. "But I will come and get you no matter what. Even if I have to kill that incompetent fool that you call a bodyguard just to have you."

"Don't hurt Kagami-kun please." Kuroko begged softly as she tried to not get angry knowing that they would reach the location soon enough.

"Hearing you say his name that way makes me want to hurt him even more." Akashi whispered to Kuroko. "I'll make sure that you see that there's no way that he could protect you the way I will." Akashi walked away and Kuroko fell back only to sit herself on the bench while hearing Akashi's footsteps getting far.

"Tet-chan!" Kuroko heard Takao's voice yelled before she throttled fully into Kuroko's small frame.

"Takao-chan!" Kuroko sounded surprised before feeling someone else throttle towards her.

"Tetsuki! I am never leaving you alone again!" She heard how Riko started talking rapidly as well.

"It's good to hear from both of you again. Takao, did you find it?" Kuroko questioned and Takao nodded and handed the diary to Kuroko who just felt it.

"Well, we should all get going." Kiyoshi started. "We can't leave Seirin alone for so much time."

"Okay." They all answered as they all got up from where they were with Kuroko who walked hand in hand with Kagami.

"Are you okay, Kuroko?" Kagami asked Kuroko who just stopped walking to look at Kagami.

"I'm fine Kagami-kun. Thank you for being there for me." Kuroko smiled.

"You're welcome. And we should go before your cousin tries to kill me because she'll think that I tried to do something inappropriate to you." Kagami said as he guided Kuroko to where all the motorcycles were parked so they could leave to Seirin.

What they didn't know was that Akashi was watching them from behind the trees to only see how Kuroko would talk to Kagami.

"So that's how its going to be, Tetsuki? Well, it seems as though he will have to die."
