At the sound of his name, as soft and as ragged as it was; Akashi's head snapped up, zeroing in on the person who called him, eyes filled with relief until he actually saw Kouki. At the sight of him his breath felt like it was forced from his body, taking in the sight of the other who looked like he had been through hell; he noticed everyone else staring as well. Everyone had a look of horror on their faces, but underneath that he saw anger, just as he himself felt. Who would do this? Why would they do this? Kouki was quiet, gentle, and he'd never hurt a soul, to see him like this was enough to get even the most unlikely person angry. Coming back to reality he noticed Kouki swaying before slowly beginning to fall forward, out of reflex he started running and shouted out his name just as the others were doing as well.
"Kouki!" "Furihata!" "Furihata-kun!" "Furihatacchi!" "Furi-chin!"
Aomine and Kagami, being closer then everyone else managed to catch him before he fell and was injured further. They gently laid him on the ground then backed away slightly so that there was room for everyone to come around, Midorima and Akashi both kneeling the closest on either side of him so they could assess the damage.
"Furi-kun.." whimpered Momoi as she walked over to join Midorima and Akashi. She knelt down and gently moved Furihata's head into her lap, being careful not to jostle him as she watched him be looked over.
"Multiple bruises on his legs, as well as his right ankle seems to be sprained and that's just the damage below his waist..." shaking his head he looked over at Akashi.
"A black eye, split lip, bloody nose and a cut at his temple...I'm worried about a concussion but there's no way to tell unless he wakes up" Akashi said, once he caught Midorima's eyes.
"Akashi-kun, Midorin" Momoi called quietly "I think we need to get his jacket and shirt off, his breathing doesn't sound right and his shoulder doesn't look quite right either..."
At her words everyone drew in a sharp breath, then Kagami and Aomine were moving intending to head out of the courts only to find their progress stopped by a large hand on each of their shoulders.
"Where are you going?" Kiyoshi asked.
"Where do you think?!" "To find these guys and pay them back of course!" Kagami and Aomine shouted at the same time. Kiyoshi sighed and shook his head.
"That's not what you need to be doing right now" he said. He looked back over his shoulder noticing that Kasamatsu was now on the phone, probably calling an ambulance; and that Momoi was now standing with Himuro and Murasakibara. She had switched places with Kise who was helping Takao, Midorima and Akashi strip off Furihata's ruined clothes to take a look at the rest of the damage.
"Why the hell not?!" Aomine growled.
"We can't let whoever did this get away with it!" Shouted Kagami.
Hearing a soft sigh, Kiyoshi looks back at them in time to see Kuroko jab them both in the ribs. Letting go of their shoulders, the two power forwards doubled over and glared at Kuroko, who was staring back at them with his usual deadpan expression.
"Damnit Kuroko/Tetsu!" they both shouted. Kiyoshi had to bite back a smile at the three of them, even if this wasn't exactly the right time to be smiling. Before he could start to talk again, Kuroko beat him to it.
"Whoever did this is not going to get away with it, however Furihata-kun needs us first and we need him to wake up and tell us who did this to him before we can do anything" Kuroko said. The air around him suddenly turned a lot darker and the three of them backed away slightly.
"When we find out who did this, they will be taught that Furihata-kun is not to be touched by any violence" he said darkly.
Realizing that Kuroko was just as angry as they were, the other three nodded when they heard a commotion from where everyone else was gathered. Hurrying over they stopped, shocked and sickened when they finally got a good look at what was under Furi's clothes. His torso was covered in purple bruises though most focused on his ribs and abdomen, his shoulder was very obviously dislocated and they could see small bruises that looked like fingertips all over the area. Everyone was quiet before Midorima spoke up.
"Someone call an ambulance" he said, while blindly reaching for Takao's hand. At this point everyone needed someone solid to hold onto.
"Already done, they should be here in a few minutes" Kasamatsu said from where he was standing by Kise, who had his face buried in his stomach.
Sure enough they heard the sirens in the distance slowly getting closer. After the shock of seeing just how extensive the damage was to Furi everyone was leaning on one another. Kasamatsu was talking quietly to Kise trying to calm him down as much as he was trying to stay calm himself. Aomine, Momoi, Kagami and Kuroko where all gathered together supporting Momoi who was crying as much as supporting themselves. Murasakibara had sat down on the ground and pulled Himuro to him, burying his face in his neck while Himuro himself was hugging him and gently combing his fingers though his hair. Lastly Akashi, who was normally so composed even in the most difficult situations was leaning into Kiyoshi looking lost while Kiyoshi stood there, giving the support that Akashi needed, but his eyes were full of worry and never left Furihata's face.
Not long after the paramedics arrived and Kiyoshi and Kasamatsu filled them in, being the only ones who could manage to speak at the time. As they loaded up Furi into the ambulance they asked if anyone would be coming along and Kiyoshi mentioned that himself and Akashi would be going. Turning to look at the rest of them he gave them all a warm look.
"Furihata is strong, especially with support from all of us, he'll be fine. We'll meet you there and fill you in once you catch up" he said before climbing into the ambulance with the paramedics and Akashi who was now holding onto Furihata's right hand.
Standing together watching the ambulance drive away all was quiet, a dark aura covering everyone there until one by one they spoke up.
"Why Furi-kun?" Asked Momoi.
"To get to the rest of us obviously" replied Midorima, pushing his glasses up his face.
"Well that wasn't very smart of them" said Takao with a smirk.
"I'll crush them" growled Murasakibara.
"Just make sure to leave some for the rest of us Atsushi" chided Himuro.
"They're going to regret choosing him" said Aomine.
"They're not going to know what hit them" Kagami said with a feral grin.
"We will have to make it known that Furihata-kun is off limits to any sort of violence or pain" said Kuroko.
"No one who touches our Furihatacchi will get away with it!" exclaimed Kise.
"Lets grab our things and get to the hospital so we can find these bastards and make them pay" said Kasamatsu, turning toward the benches where all their bags lay, basketball long forgotten.
Nodding their heads everyone headed toward the benches and gathered their things in silence, thoughts swirling in all their heads as to who would've done this, and why? As they left the court and made their way to the hospital though everyone was in agreement with one thing.
Whoever did this was going down, and they were going down hard.
