Chapter 4 Normal POV
"Kurokocchi! Why aren't you saying anything?!" Kise asks desperately.
'Anyone. Anyone but Shogo-kun would be fine. But why Kurokocchi? I remember that bad feeling when I lost to Shogo-kun. And I definitely don't want Kurokocchi to feel that!'
"Kuroko-"
"Ah seriously! Your so annoying Kise-kun! It's none of your business anyway isn't it?!" She fumes. Kuroko eyes widen as several of her schoolmates surround them while muttering dozens of questions.
"A fight?"
"Isn't that Kise Ryota?!"
"With Cool Phantom?"
"Uwa seriously?!"
"Why are the both of them fighting?"
"Are they having a lovers quarrel?"
Kuroko's angered face softens. She looks around while panicking and then turns to Kise giving him a glare that says : I'll Deal With You Later. She briskly walks away whilst clutching her bag tightly.
Kise immediately turns white and slowly nods. He forgot about Kuroko's current reputation.
'I've done it now...' He thinks with tears in eyes.
"Yo." Haizaki greets his girlfriend who has a frown on her face. He slings his arm around Kuroko's neck and smirks. "How's my babe?"
Kuroko narrows her eyes.
"There's no reason to act right now Haizaki-kun. And I would also prefer if you would refrain from calling me babe."
"Well who cares? It's just a word."
Kuroko rolls her eyes and pushes Haizaki's arm off her shoulder.
Haizaki snickers.
"Anyways I have a piece of insignificant information. Want to hear it?"
"What's the point of answering when your obviously just going to say it regardless of my answer?" Kuroko says 'as a matter of fact'
"Your so not cute."
"I'm aware of that."
Haizaki sighs and scratches his head.
'What a difficult woman. If it was Akashi, he could deal with her easily- No. Not even him could.'
"Teiko's former basketball captain asshole bastard is coming." Haizaki finally says with a few obscene words. He glances at Kuroko hoping for some reaction on her stoic face.
...
She at least does have an idea of who he is right?
"Who?" She asks instead.
Maybe not.
Akashi impatiently taps a shogi piece on the board. He narrows his eyes at a picture of two pinned on the black board and throws a pair of scissors at the male person in the picture. The scissors was about half way in the black board.
"Haizaki..." He seethed.
Even though lost in his thoughts, Akashi is not unbeknowst to the presence behind the office's door.
"Come in," As if he already knew who it was, "Nijimura-senpai."
The door was pushed open and Nijimura stepped in. He was a tall male with ebony hair and a mature look. All of the characteristics of the retired ex-captain of Teiko's basketball club. Also known as: Teiko's former basketball captain asshole bastard
"Yo. Long time no see." He greets.
"Nijimura senpai. What brings you here? Is your father doing well?" Akashi asks somewhat politely.
"Yeah. I don't have to go to the hospital that often anymore so I came to check how the club is doing. I also heard some disturbing news." Nijimura's face turns grim after saying the last part.
"About Shogo getting a new girlfriend?"
Nijimura's eyebrow twitches.
"Yes."
Akashi averts his gaze from Nijimura and closes his eyes.
"So what? It isn't anything new right? Besides, the only reason why it has been quiet for a while was because of his suspension. To be honest it's not very surprising. It's going to end the typical way." Akashi says nonchalantly.
Nijimura smirks.
"'It isn't anything new' huh? You make it sound like you don't care what happens to the girl that is currently Haizaki's victim."
Akashi faces Nijimura and gives him a glare.
"There would be no reason for me to care about that girl's fate. To me, she is someone insignificant." He says sternly.
"Only her?" Nijimura asks smugly.
Akashi's glare sharpens.
"So why are you keeping track of her movements 24/7? You, Akashi Seijuro, watching the insignificant girl, Kuroko Tetsuna also known as Cool Phantom who was the first one to ever defy you?" Nijimura says, looking at Akashi straight in the eyes.
Akashi narrows his eyes in annoyance.
'Since when has Nijimura-senpai become so shrewd?' He thought while clutching the scissors that was somehow on his hand and not on the black board. 'He's going to be a nuisance.'
Nijimura shifts his gaze to the item Akashi is trying to hide behind Akashi's sleeve. He then notices a tint of red.
"Now now. You don't have to be so aggressive. I did not come to school to interfere with whatever your planning." Nijimura reassures the boiling red haired midget. He then turns his back to Akashi. "I'll help you break them up."
Akashi gives a quick reply, "And why would you do that?"
Nijimura glances back at Akashi's direction and then walks towards the room's exit.
"First, it's because Haizaki is concerned in this." He keeps on walking. "Second, I'm quite interested on the person who intrigued you and gained your acknowledgement. Don't worry, I don't bare any affectionate feelings for Kuroko Tetsuna. Heck, I don't even know what she looks like." With that last sentence, Senpai disappears from the Kouhai's line of sight.
...
Akashi stays baffled for the next couple of minutes and his grip on the scissors loosens.
He sighs and massages his temple.
"Well that was an interesting talk."
Akashi then remembers the time when Midorima was acting rather suspiciously before learning about Kuroko's and Haizaki's relationship.
'Just what type of charm does she have to attract so many people?'
Kise fidgets around, constantly trying to peek into a certain classroom for a certain bluenette.
'What should I do? Kurokocchi is mad at me. But it's Shogo-kun we're talking about.'
While Kise is panicking/crying, Kuroko walks out of class and immediately runs away upon noticing the blonde.
Presence: Off (Though it was already off)
'What is Annoying Model-san...I mean Kise-kun doing outside of my classroom?' Kuroko thinks as she runs, not taking into account the person currently in the direction of where she is running to.
'That's weird. I feel a very ominous presence infront if me...Aka?'
Kuroko immediately stops in her tracks and also drops the books she was carrying.
Kuroko didn't even think about picking up her books nor looking upfront. She just turned back and dashed ahead.
Kise sniffles as he walks. For some reason dog ears sprouted from his head and a tail on his waist that made him look so cute that all the girls he walked past just fainted. The guys glared at him and were burning with anger and jealousy
'Kurokocchi is angry with me. Kurokocchi doesn't like me anymore. Kurokocchi won't talk to me anymore. Kurokocchi won't-' The saddened yellow colored puppy looks up from the floor, noticing his beloved Kurokocchi running towards him. He immediately brightens up.
"Ah! KUROKOCCHI! YOU CAME BA- Guaagghh!"
Kise and Kuroko crash against each other but in other people's eyes, it looks like an invisible rock was thrown to Kise. One of the girls that fainted took up the courage to ask whether Kise was okay.
"K-Kise-kun are you okay- Eh? Cool Phantom-san?!" The girl notices the unconscious Kuroko on top of Kise. "It's Cool Phantom!" She shouts.
Other people gather around them and Kise sweatdrops.
'I-I think K-Kurokocchi will literally kill me when she wakes up.'
Kise takes a deep breath and this time, he takes the courage to pick Kuroko up, and carry her bridal style. Yes. Bridal style.
Girls squeal.
Boys blush.
Midorima goes, "Nanodayo?!"
Haizaki goes "wow"
Nijimura goes "hoho"
Akashi smiles.
And then, all hell breaks loose.
THE END
...
Not.
