Sapphyre-chan I'm glad last chapter turned out scary as I wanted it so much to be. Hahaha. Thank you once again!

Guest-san, the problem is, there are other "guests" who review sometimes so I don't know whom is whom. Hahaha! XD I'm glad to hear you like that sentence and to your guess… well this is an AkaKuro fic after all *wink wink*

Akemi-chan it feels nice to see someone appreciate my efforts! Waa T^T Akashi knows everything, that's why! Hahaha lol. He does background checks so he knows who Tetsu's friends are. He can be really stalk-ish hahaha XD

To everyone who got this far, arigato gozaimasu! *bows 90 degrees* I hope you enjoy this! ^-^

Chapter 10:

Momoi POV

Hi! My name is Momoi Satsuki. I have a long, cherry pink hair and bright pink eyes. I am in love with Tetsu-kun (always and forever), and I am his girlfriend. I used to be the manager of Teiko Junior High School basketball club together with Tetsu-kun, my boyfriend (even though he keeps on denying it). Dai-chan is my childhood friend; we've been playing basketball since we were kids. Ki-chan is my brother-in-law since Dai-chan is practically my brother (he's the one who first noticed my crush for Tetsu-kun). We met Kagami-kun in high school, and up until now I can't believe we're dating for almost 4 years.

"Momoi-san, please stop hugging me. It's suffocating." Tetsu-kun complains after Akashi-kun left.

"Ah~ Gomen ne, Tetsu-kun! I just missed you so much! I've been a faithful girlfriend to you!"

"When did you become my girlfriend?" he deadpans.

So okay, I lied about being Tetsu-kun's girlfriend. I just can't help it, I am so in love with him! I started liking him when he gave me a popsicle stick. He's so polite and romantic! When I discovered his passion for basketball, I was like, "OMG we have the same interests I love you Tetsu-kun!" We used to go on dates (in reality, just one) and he was so sweet, he gave me a stuffed toy after. We were so in love and we lived happily ever after~.

Sigh. Until he was kidnapped. That was one of the darkest days of my life. All I could do was cry and cry. I always prayed for Tetsu-kun's safety, and for him to come back. The man fell in love with was taken away from me, and it broke my heart into a million shattered pieces.

"Mou Tetsu-kun, don't ever leave me again! I was so heartbroken! WAAAAAA!" (TT—TT)

"Momoi-san, you're bothering other patients. Please stop crying so loudly."

"I can't help it! AND BESIDES, THE NURSES TOLD ME YOU HAD THIS WHOLE FLOOR TO YOURSELF!"

"But still, this is a hospital. Please be quiet."

"*sniff* Okay… I love you so much Tetsu-kun!" I hug him again and cry onto his chest.

"Jeez Momoi, don't hug Kuroko too much." Kagami-kun scolds. I don't listen to him and squeeze my Tetsu-kun tighter. "Ah, I forgot to tell you Kuroko, but Momoi also works for the police."

"Really, Momoi-san?"

I nod sincerely. We did many things to find him, but Dai-chan and I secretly decided that if we get into the police force, searching for Tetsu-kun would be easier. So now, I am an intelligence officer in the National Bureau of Investigation, under the Tokyo Police Department. I do data analysis and researches. Since I'm good at collecting data and interpreting it for future purposes, this job fits me well. I can become a spy if I wanted to, teehee~!

"I'm an intel officer. I had to keep an eye on Dai-chan, who knows what'll he do? He'll slack too much and the world will need more saving." I tell Tetsu-kun. Despite his poker face, I can see the pride in his eyes as he pats my head.

"That's great Momoi-san."

I smile sweetly at Tetsu-kun in response. But then I pout. "Ki-chan told me everything! Is it true you're pregnant?"

His pretty blue eyes were alarmed and he didn't know what to say. "Ah… Um…"

"WAAA! MY TETSU-KUN! I SHOULD BE THE ONE PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD! YOU PROMISED ME WOULD GET MARRIED!" I wail. But it was just for show, to make things lighter. I know Tetsu-kun's still sensitive with that subject.

"I have never promised that."

"You didn't?" I fake my surprise. "I'm pretty sure you did."

"Sorry Kuroko. Momoi's obsession with you seems to be still not over." Kagami says.

"After all these years…" he sighs tiredly. "Yes Momoi-san, I'm pregnant. They…" he falters. "…experimented me."

"Oh. How long are you now~?" I ask brightly because Tetsu-kun looks sad.

"Ano… Nishio-san said I'm 6 weeks pregnant now."

"Wow! That's great! And in a few months you'll give birth! I'm so excited for you!"

Tetsu-kun blinks in confusion. I know he still thinks that we'll get mad at him or something. After all, male pregnancy was unheard of, although fujoshis like me (TEEHEE!) and male-to-male couples dream about it. If this news gets out, some people will burn him at a stake or something like those medieval superstitious ancestors do to weird phenomenon they couldn't understand. I gently hold his pale hand. "Tetsu-kun, we're your friends, okay? You can trust us. You know that. We'll always support you." I nudge Kagami-kun's shoe to tell him he should say something. He makes a face and jerks.

"Yeah… uh…" he scratches his head. "I still can't believe it, but yeah. We'll be here for you Kuroko." He flashes a toothy grin.

Tetsu-kun's eyes widen and then tears up. "H-hey, don't cry Kuroko! O-oi…" Kagami's hand shivers as he poses to comfort Tetsu-kun.

"Aww it's okay Kagami-kun… It's just hormones, hormones! It's a pregnancy thing!" I hug Kuroko again.

"How the hell did you know Momoi? Have you been pregnant before?" The red-haired tall guy asks me doubtfully, his face weirded out.

"Bakagami can just shut up!" I stick out a tongue at him.

Tetsu-kun sighs happily. "I haven't noticed before, but you two are perfect for each other."

Both of us turns beet red at the teal head's comment. "D-don't say embarrassing things like that Kuroko!" Kagami-kun stutters shyly.

"Y-yeah! I-it's Bakagami's fault Tetsu-kun! He seduced me so we'll break up! But I'll never break up with you Tetsu-kun!"

Tetsu-kun shakes his head exasperatedly and bluntly says, "You and Kise-kun are still so clingy. I am not anyone's lover."

"Ohhhh reeeallly?" I sweetly ask. "How about Akashi-kuuuun~~~~?" (*^-^*)

It's Tetsu-kun's turn to blush. Aww you're so adorable I can't help but squeal. "KYAA! Tetsu-kun be honest! Are you two an item?~~"

Kagami-kun stills and his eyes are as wide as plates like he couldn't understand anything. Hahaha. Tetsu-kun blushes harder. "A-ah… It's not anything like that Momoi-san… We just met and-"

"But he likes you!" I blurt out.

"H-he did confess…" he whispers.

"KYAAA! *hearts popping in the air* How did he confess?! You hit a jackpot Tetsu-kun! He's incredibly rich! WAAA I'M SO ENVIOUS!" I squeal again while holding my cheeks.

"M-Momoi-san, please stop it." Tetsu-kun shyly requests.

"I'M SO SAD THAT YOU LIKE HIM TOO BUT FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE I'LL ALLOW HIM TO MARRY YOU!"

"A-Ano..! I n-never said anything about l-liking him…" The teal head stammers. "A-and… M-mar… marr…" Kyaaa he can't even say the word! You're so cute Tetsu-kun, I squeeze myself in giddiness!

"I know you Tetsu-kun! You wouldn't let him kiss your hand and cup your cheek IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE HIM! ADMIT IT!" He keeps quiet and looks down to hide his red face. Kyaaa it's so fun to tease you!

I started rambling. "Gosh he's so hot, and attractive! He's kinda short but still, he's soooo rich! He's also kinda scary and intimidating but wow Tetsu-kun I've never seen him that soft to other people! Did you know sometimes people call him "Devil Emperor" coz he's really strict and demanding! For someone like him to fall in love with you, waaa Tetsu-kun you're really amazing—ah no, scratch that, you can make anyone fall in love you that's why-"

"Woah woah wait a minute!" Kagami-kun swipes his weird eyebrows. "You and that freak- whaaaat?"

I roll my eyes. "You're really stupid Bakagami! Yes, Akashi-kun and Tetsu-kun like each other! It's so cute ne ne?"

"HAAAAAAAAA?!"

Kagami-kun looks really flustered and confused like he couldn't believe what's going on. I just had to laugh out loud. Tetsu-kun looks up and he's poker-faced but I see amusement in his eyes. Kagami-kun's weird eyebrows are all scrunched up and he looks at us back and forth incredulously. Stupid Bakagami, clueless as usual. Well, I don't think Tetsu-kun knows himself how much he likes Akashi-kun, either~. This is so fun!

Later, while Kagami-kun is busy preparing the ingredients for his homemade burger in the kitchen, Tetsu-kun sighs and looks at the window.

"Tetsu-kun? What's wrong?"

He shakes his head. But I know what it is. "You're worried about Akashi-kun?"

He sighs again. "I just have this bad feeling. Like something will go wrong." he mutters fearfully.

Actually, I know where Akashi-kun's going. When we asked him to help us find Tetsu-kun, he had one request. That is to lend him our talents. So, Dai-chan and I were his eyes and hands in the police force. Akashi-kun established a mafia organization because he says those who kidnapped Tetsu-kun might be working underground, and it will be easier to find him if we're also in the dark. So he wants us to inform him of other mafia groups and their profiles, and give him access to criminal databases. I also voluntarily inform him of some police raids and operations, not that his mafia was ever caught though (he's really a genius wow). But I still check and make sure his underground activities remain unnoticed by the police.

Like what he said years ago, it might be that Tetsu-kun's kidnappers have spies in the police, that's why they're alerted if we conduct a search for him. But that doesn't mean we stopped looking. While Akashi-kun searches underground, we had our own investigations. Though it led us to nothing.

Yesterday, Akashi-kun contacted me. He wanted me to investigate this building in Shibuya and give him all necessary details about it. He says he got a lead and one of Tetsu-kun's kidnappers might be there. I gave him the information I found about the building, like its registered owner, date of construction, legal papers, and etc. Today he'll raid the building and I tweaked the CCTV cameras in the street where it is to keep the police from seeing Akashi-kun's ambush.

"Don't worry Tetsu-kun, I'm sure he'll be fine. He's Akashi-kun after all." I smile but deep inside I feel nervous too. I feel that those kidnappers are powerful and vicious, and if they can do things from a miracle like making a man pregnant to cruel acts like detaining and torturing a harmless person for 8 years, then surely they can do something that even the Emperor cannot control.

I squeeze Tetsu-kun's hand to comfort him. "It'll be alright Tetsu-kun." I smile. Tetsu-kun returns my smile in a slight lift of his lips.

"I pray you're right."

Akashi POV

"H-help me!"

I don't move a muscle. Takao Kazunari cries in the floor, shivering in fear and pain. Guns are pointed at him by several men clad in black. The leader sits leg-crossed in an elevated cement throne, in a Hannya mask and blue-green suit. I can't see his face but I can feel a sinister smile in his lips. I can even sense his dangerous aura though it was only a video.

"Hello Akashi Seijuurou. We meet again." An eerie baritone voice speaks. I presume that it is the leader talking. Their faces are all hidden behind masks so I don't know who's moving his filthy mouth.

I harden my jaws. Tatsuya speaks in my earpiece. "It's a simple video call, but how they connected it through with me controlling the system I have no idea. I'm working on tracing it."

"How can I be sure that this is genuine?" I snap at the scientist in front of me.

"I can assure you it's not recorded, Akashi. It's live. And I doubt you can trace this call. Hahaha." Imayoshi chuckles, but he is slightly nerved by my glare. I look skeptical. He insists. "It's true. You can call the doctor if you want to."

Right on cue, my cellphone vibrates on my trousers' pocket. I press a button on my watch while still aiming at Imayoshi. A beep sounds in my earpiece.

"Akashi," Shintaro breathes. "There's an emergency."

I narrow my eyes at the enemies. "Is this about Kazunari?" I ask.

His sharp intake of breath confirms it. "How did you know?"

"Because I'm seeing him in a video call right now."

"Shin-chan!" Kazunari shouts. "HELP ME!"

"T-Takao?" He asks, then mutters incorrigibly. "It's my fault. I should have never left him alone at my apartment." He speaks, despair in his voice.

"I'll get him." I promise silently. Shintaro is quiet, but I can feel him crying. "Thank you Akashi." he finally says. "If there's anything I can do…"

"Just don't hang up yet." I whisper so he can hear the whole conversation. Then I raise my chin up at the filthy criminals. "How dare you kidnap Kazunari. You will pay for this." I tell them.

The leader's shoulder shakes and maniac laughter erupts. "Can't you see? The harder you try, the more horrible the outcome is. Next time we'll go for the blue-haired damn brat."

"Don't you dare touch Tetsuya," I growl menacingly.

"DON'T HURT TET-CHAN!" Kazunari shouts. A man shoots the floor inches from his feet and Kazunari whimpers. I clutch my gun furiously at their ruthlessness.

He laughs manically again. "I see you have affectionate feelings for him. I'll crush that disgusting love of yours, Akashi Seijuuro."

The projected video call ends. I grit my teeth. The four-eyed scientist adjusts his lab coat and presses a button on a table nearby. I hear a hissing sound and a door opens inside the room. "Sorry, but I'll have to go. It was nice meeting you, Akashi." He casually greets and heads towards the door. "Ja na." He waves, and the door closes. I could only grip my gun in anger.

"He left the building in a white Maserati." Nijimura informs.

"Aka-chin, we should follow him." Atsushi suggests behind me.

"No. They'll harm Kazunari even more."

"But we finally…" He discontinues and sighs. He puts his gun back into its holster and unwraps a lollipop, putting it into his mouth gloomily. I lower my gun and glare at the door which is now concealed perfectly in the wall.

"Forgive me Akashi-san. I couldn't trace the call." Tatsuya mutters quietly. "But I found information on Imayoshi Shoichi."

"Akashi…!" Mayuzumi calls, but I hear some static. Once the static died, I see a panel opening in the wall near the door where the scientist escaped. Mayuzumi emerges from his hiding place.

"I got him."

"Eh~? How~?" The purple giant asks.

"I threw a homing beacon on his lab coat."

I smirk triumphantly. "Excellent. Nebuya, Hayama."

"Yes?"

"…"

"Search the building. I want every information to be mobilized. Kill everyone after."

"Roger~!"

"Understood."

"What's the plan now Aka-chin~? Should we follow right away?"

I already see a plan on my head. The scientist will be suspicious if we follow immediately. I can't have him know that we're tracking him. And I want him to get to their base first, where he'll meet with them and I'll have the bigger catch. Waiting means Kazunari will suffer longer, but I only get a few options if I want to destroy them all permanently. I'll end this soon, I promise myself. I'm sorry Kazunari, but you'll have to sacrifice for a while. I will get you and kill one of them at the same time.

"As much as it pains me to say this, but we'll wait for the right time to strike." Shintaro growls angrily in my ear but doesn't say anything. I can feel his frustration and irritation and can only sympathize. "Shintaro, I told you I'll get him. And I will. Do you doubt me?"

"You'd better Akashi." Then he hangs up. I feel slightly irritated by how he just commanded me, the emperor, but I'll let it slide. He's only worried for Kazunari. Even I would feel the same if it was Tetsuya they captured, only I am much, much scarier when angry.

Suddenly I feel the need to hold my beloved in my arms. "Let's go Atsushi, I want to see Tetsuya."

"Hai~"

Fin~

Is it cruel I had to end it like this? Hahaha XD Some of you already have an idea on the antagonist, yay! I love them but they have to be the bad guys aww… Sei-kun in action is weeee! ^0^

And imagine how distraught Midorima is. He's probably dying on the inside noooooooo….
