"Kuroko." The smaller looked over at his light, they were cleaning the basketball court after another cruel day of training.

"Yes? Kagami-kun?"

"Kuroko, I'm leaving for America. Tomorrow I won't be here, I won't receive any more of your passes and I don't think I will come back. There just isn't anything left for me here." Kuroko's eyes widened as he dropped the sweeper he was holding.

"Wha-?" Kuroko felt his heart sink, the room growing dark as Kagami was making his way to the doors of the gym.

"See ya."

Kuroko couldn't accept this, not after all they have been through! He began to run towards Kagami, but was stopped in his tracks by something grabbing his leg, looking down it was a blackened arm, almost seemed inhuman.

"Kagami-kun! Taiga!" He desperately called out to his light, fear consuming his heart.

No matter how much he called, the maroon-haired male didn't even turn his head, almost as if he didn't hear, or he didn't care.

"Taiga, don't leave me in the dark!" Kuroko screamed out, the darkness closing in on him, as Kagami left through the doors of the now darkening gym.

Kuroko felt tears fall down his cheeks, he was alone in the dark, his light left him and now the darkness was creeping in on him. Looking down at his leg, despite not wanting to out of fear of what he would see, he saw the arm still firmly holding his ankle, it began to pull him away, into the darkness.

"No! Taiga help me!" He cried out, kicking and flailing in an attempt to get free of the grip.

"He can't help you." Was all he heard as another arm reached out and grabbed his shirt, pulling him further along the cold court and into the eternal blackness.

"No!" Kuroko sat straight up, scaring Nigou that was in his lap.

The blue-haired male was sweating, breathing heavily and petrified, he realized it was a dream but it didn't do anything to sooth his racing heart. Nigou looked at him worriedly and whined, Kuroko just picked him up and held him close to his chest, his breathing slowing down as he held his companion.

"I don't want him to leave. He wouldn't leave me, right?" He mumbled to no one in particular.

Nigou just stayed quiet, listening to his owner mumbling as he silently began to sob.

The next day Kuroko wasn't feeling much better, there were bags under his eyes and he barely talked to Kagami. It didn't feel right to avoid his light like he was but everytime he looked at the taller it made him cringe as he remembered the horrible nightmare from the night before.

Kagami noticed how his shadow was avoiding him, but figured he just needed space. He liked being around Kagami but there were times where he liked his personal space as well as he observed over the time of knowing the stoic male.

"Kagami is no longer here Kurokocchi." A voice seemed to purr from the darkness.

He recognized that voice and form of greeting anywhere, it was Kise. He turned his attention to the darkness, there, grabbing his shirt was Kise, but he was different. His flawless skin was a sickly pale, his lips a deathly blue, and his eyes, oh God, the eyes were an eternal black color, the irises a bloody red as they stared straight at him with a matching wicked grin.

"You honestly thought he would stay? How foolish could you possibly be?"He turned around to see Midorima in the same state, but with a harsh glare being sent his way.

"You of all people should have known that he would leave soon as he was finished with business here." It was Aomine that was gripping at his leg and lifting it up behind the blue-haired male so he was in a defenseless position as Midorima grabbed his arm.

"But now that he is gone-" Murasakibara grabbed the other arm, Kuroko began to flail to try and get free.

"He can't keep us apart anymore."Akashi finished, approaching the group.

"What are you guys doing?!" Kuroko panicked as he was surrounded, the group grinning or glaring at him as they got closer to him.

"Stay back! Taiga! Help me!"

"Help me!" Again he woke up in his bed, heart pounding and breathing heavily with a thin layer of sweat covering his body.

Nigou once again whined in worry for his owner, Kuroko repeated the same action as last night, mumbling to himself and holding Nigou close, allowing his presence to help calm him down until he was lulled to sleep once more.

Just like yesterday, the dark circles lined the underside of the stoic males eyes, he was barely paying attention to anything around him. Even the maroon-haired male that tried to grab his attention multiple times was being ignored. This irritated the taller male so he decided to take action.

"Hey Kuroko, you want to stay at my place tonight? There is no practice and coach is giving us a day off tomorrow." Kuroko looked at the taller, a flash of fear in his eyes but he also didn't want to be rude or be any more suspicious than he already was being.

"Sure, I will pack some things after school today and meet you at your place." Kuroko answered and sat in his seat for class.

As Kuroko said, he packed and left for Kagami's place, taking Nigou with him. Once he arrived he settled in and they mostly lounged around and watched the television or worked on homework. That night though Kagami couldn't sleep, Kuroko was sound asleep next to him in the makeshift bed he made up for him before he arrived. As he was was finally being lulled to sleep he heard it, a whimper, he bolted straight up thinking perhaps Nigou had somehow got into the room, but he heard no patting of paws nor did he see said canine in the light of the moon that shone through the window. When he heard it again he looked over at Kuroko, what he saw broke his heart, the male was curled into a tight ball, tears streaming down his cheeks and he looked so terrified.

The taller heard him mumbling something, something along the lines of "don't leave me," and "it's so dark." But the next sentence caused the male to snap.

"Kagami please don't go!" The taller male scowled and moved over to the smaller's bed, wrapping his arms around Kuroko, this causing the smaller to flinch.

"Baka, I'm not going anywhere. How dare you think I would ever leave you, honestly you are hopeless." Was all Kagami said as he felt the smaller nuzzle into his chest and sob.

Kuroko stayed there, sobbing and trembling in the taller male's arms, Kagami just allowed this to happen.

"Kagami please don't go!" Kuroko cried out as the rest of the Generation of Miracles kept pulling him to the darkness.

Kuroko managed to free a hand and reached out in hopes of anyone or anything, anything at all, taking his hand and helping. He felt something warm wrap around him, it felt nice and comforting, upon opening his eyes he saw the gym well lit again. He looked up to see he was in Kagami's arms.

"Baka, I'm not going anywhere. How dare you think I would ever leave you, honestly you are hopeless." Hearing this, Kuroko teared up and wrapped his arms around the taller, nuzzling into his chest and letting the sobs wrack his body.

Kuroko slowly opened his eyes, seeing he was in Kagami's room and in Kagami's arms, looking up at the taller male to find him soundly sleeping. He just nuzzled his face back into the taller's chest, content that his light would never leave his side.
