IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM BBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! I'm so sorry that I haven't uploaded in a long time but its because I haven't gotten much inspiration because in the country that I'm living in has just started school and my parents decided to transfer me to another private school just so I could finish my years of high school and honestly one thing... It sucks to be the new girl in a school where you only know a handful of people. And I haven't been able to finish this chapter quickly was because I got a new phone for my birthday and I haven't downloaded Word on it so I had to transfer the files into my pink laptop.
But I swallowed up my uninspired self and finished writing this chapter for you guys soooooo please don't hate me if this chapter sucks for you guys.
I don't own Kuroko no Basuke nor the lyrics of the song I quote but I do own the storyline.
My heart in your train
Whether it's ripped, thrown away, hidden or burned
It remains like perfume and I see it like a picture
It's engraved like a stigma
Remember that- don't wanna cry
(Don't Leave- T-ara)
Kuroko and Takao were both seated in the couch in Riko's office while being stared down by Riko herself.
"Are you guys going to tell us everything or do I have to ask everything so we can start?" Riko questioned when she noticed that neither of the girls had the initiative to tell her everything.
"Tet-chan has to start because they're her abilities." Takao pointed at Kuroko who just sighed before beginning.
"Well, I don't know where to start Riko-chan." Kuroko admitted.
"Since when do you have your powers?" Riko asked softly.
"Ever since I could remember….. The first time I ever used them, I was 3 years old and I had accidentally broken one of the mirrors in my nursery." Kuroko confessed as she tried to remember.
"Did my aunt have them too?"
"Yeah, she did. She was the one who always taught me how to control my powers and to keep my emotions in check to make sure that I never lost control." Kuroko smiled at the memory of her mother. "And to make sure that no one ever found out of my powers."
"Then how did Takao find out?" Riko questioned as she looked at Takao.
"Well, I found out because I caused by accident that a pile of apples from the school yard to fall on top of her when there wasn't even a single gust of wind in the air." Takao gave an enthusiastic smile towards Riko. "And she forced me to tell her about my powers and then when I told my parents, they made Takao-chan swear to not tell anyone about my secret."
"And I don't regret nothing." Takao chirped with a smile plastered on her face while she looked at Riko.
"Anything else that you want to tell me? Like why did the town get burned down because of my aunt and uncle?" Riko questioned but ceased once she saw how Kuroko flinched visibly in front of her and Takao. "Okay, I won't pry."
"It's not that... I think it would be best that you read it from my father's diary, not even I know the specific reason for which why we were attacked and besides it would be much more detailed than in my words." Kuroko replied before she lifted herself off the couch. "Takao-chan, would you please take me back to our room? I would like to rest."
"Sure thing, Tet-chan!" Takao grabbed Kuroko's hand and started guiding her to the door which when she opened it, both Kagami and Himuro fell forward as they were spying on the conversation between the 3 girls.
"Ouch, my nose!" Kagami yelled loudly as he covered his nose while looking at his sister who was rearranging her hair to not look so messy with her appearance.
"Okay, I'm going to talk with you two right now but Takao, when you finish leaving Tetsuki to your room. I want you to come back her immediately." Riko commanded with her authority voice and dark dictator aura causing all of them to nod their heads frantically at her orders except Kuroko, who couldn't see the obvious death threat that surrounded her cousin.
"Bye Himuro-chan, I hope that Kagami-kun and you can survive Riko-chan's evil." Kuroko prayed for Himuro and Kagami's safety as she left the room with Takao snickering at both Kagami's and Himuro's bad luck.
"Don't leave us with the evil witch, Kuroko-chan!" Himuro yelled after Kuroko left the room while Kagami sat down knowing his punishment clearly due to the fact that he has had to face Riko several times already.
"I wasn't being evil, Tetsuki! I was being threatening!" Riko yelled back while trying to change her younger cousin's opinion of her. "And who are you calling an evil witch?!"
Once Kuroko and Takao reached their room, Kuroko just sat down on her bed while looking into the wall. Takao, being a bit weirded out by Kuroko's behavior so she stood in front of her to look at her.
"What's wrong, Tet-chan?" Takao questioned as she looked at the bluenette that wasn't moving.
"Nothing, I'm just remembering the fire." Kuroko answered after a small while of silence between the two girls.
"Why? You know that you get depressed when you think about the fire so why are you thinking about it?" Takao pushed the matter.
"I'm thinking of the last thing that I saw that night before everything went black in my eyes. I remember running from my house while my father tried to get my mother out of the piece of ceiling that fell on top of her while he yelled at me to run as fast as I could." Kuroko started saying all that she remember from that eve. "But the next thing that I knew was that the mansion had fallen down and I knew that my mother and father were dead under the house."
Takao just looked at her with sadness in her eyes before she hugged Kuroko and turned to ask the bluenette on what was worrying her. "What did you hear today that would make you remember all of this?"
"I didn't hear anything; it was just my choice of thoughts." Kuroko lied swiftly as she separated from the embrace that she was in with Takao to scoot a few centimeters away from Takao. She knew that it would be a bad idea for her if she told Takao that she had met up with Akashi because of everything that she heard about him and she knew that Takao would not be the exception.
"You're sure that you are not just lying to me so I won't find out something that you know that I'm not going to like?" Takao pushed as she leaned her face towards Kuroko's who had grasped her cheek and pinched it tightly causing Takao to jump away from Kuroko while holding her cheek in her hand..
"OUCH! Tet-chan, why did you do that?" Takao interrogated as she rubbed her cheek in a soothing manner.
"Because Takao-chan was invading my personal space." Kuroko's swift reply came as though it was a breeze of fresh air during the night.
"Tet-chan is evil. Well, I have to go before Riko gets over here and tries to kill me in front of you." Takao got up from her place away from Kuroko and started to walk towards the door. "Good night, Tet-chan! Have sweet dreams and stop thinking about the fire."
Once Kuroko heard the door open and close, she let out a breath that she herself didn't know that she was holding in and she allowed herself to slump back onto her bed.
"Why did Akashi-kun say all those things to me? Was he trying to make me doubt my own place here in Seirin just so I can go to Teiko with him?" Kuroko thought as her hands moved up to touch her hair in a soothing manner for herself. "He even said that he could help me get my sight back… But I know that he must be lying because the only way that I would ever get to see again is if I embrace my abilities which I never will."
"Just what happened to the Akashi-kun that I knew?" Was Kuroko's last thought before she fell back on her bed to be lulled to sleep by that last thought.
"Tetsuki-sama! Where are you?! Your mother is looking for you!" A five year old Kuroko heard how the group of maids and butlers were looking for her as she hid in the branch of a tree while using one of her many new mastered abilities such as invisibility which allowed her to read peacefully her newest book.
"Tet-chan, come out! Mommy wants to talk to you!" Kuroko heard her mother yelling and she knew that she couldn't continue hiding so she climbed off the tree to stand beside her mother so she could tug on her mother's dress
"What do you want to talk about, Mommy?" Kuroko asked with a soft voice causing her mother to get scared at her own daughter's antics.
"WAHHHHHH! Tet-chan, don't do that again!" Kuroko's mother, Nana, scolded as she placed her hand on top of her chest as though it was to relax her speeding heart. "Even I wasn't as scary as you are right now when I was your age."
"Sorry mommy."
"Well, daddy is going to have some guests here and daddy and I need to entertain them. But they have a son around your age so you two can play together." Nana replied as she looked down at Tetsuki whom did not look so happy with the idea of not being able to continue reading her book.
"But I want to finish reading my book." Kuroko replied as she showed the book in front of Nana's face who instantly realized her daughter's reasons for not wanting to help her parents.
"How about you read after you help entertain Daddy's guests and I'll even read it with you?" Kuroko analyzed her mother's proposal and nodded her head when she liked it. "Good! Now let's go get you ready!"
PLEASE REVIEW! And I'll definitely release the next chapter in which I will explain the relationship between Kuroko and Akashi!
