Chapter 2

Attack on Seirin

Seirin lies in the northern part of the continent. The main capital where the castle stood is surrounded by mountains. Blessed with vast land, beautiful green pasture and abundant natural resources, the citizen are quite happy living a peaceful and contented life. The economy is growing steadily and the crime rate is low and most importantly the culture is reserved.

At the heart of the city is where the castle stood with towers and large thick walls protectively encircling it. Inside, large doors and windows and grand staircase could be seen. Enormous chandeliers lighten up the place, a red carpet spread on the floor. It is not heavily decorated but it's simplicity is mesmerizingly beautiful. The odd thing is, with all those rich display, it screams a warm homey feeling. The sound of the pots in the kitchen, the clanging of the mens armor, the chattering and giggling of the maids is like music saying everyone is family.

The night is clear and the moon is shining at its fullest. The citizens has long retired the night, but men of the kingdom is on high alert. A knight with red hair is running on the courtyard. The clanging sounds of his armor echoes throughout the place.

"Kagami! What the heck are you doing?" Hyuuga, the commander yelled at him, clearly his switch is on. Despite the twos height difference, Kagami cowered under Hyuuga's gaze.

"Sorry Commander, I was on my way to the study."

"Tsk, Don't tell me you-"

"BAAM"

They both turned their heads to the direction of the explosion from main gate. Hyuuga draw his sword and Kagami is about to follow but the black haired stop him. "Go." Kagami is reluctant, but with the commanders one last glare he took off. Hyuuga faced the other knights.

"Okay men! To the front lines!"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Mou I'm growing tired already! Akashi-cchis's punishment is way too much!" Kise cried and complained at the same time, crocodiles tear on his eyes. The soldiers are flabbergasted. Who the heck is on his right mind who cries and complains at the same time. The golden miracle then pointed his sword on them.

"Hey! Could you all come at me at once? This is dragging too long eh." He mocked with a devilish smile.

The soldiers gripped their swords.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU ALL DOING?" Hyuuga growled marching his way to the front.

"Commander.." Some stuttered.

"Is this the fruit of ALL your training?" he looked around, some soldier just bowed their heads.

"Then I think we need to INCREASE the training regimen HUH?" he maliciously said with a malicious smile. "Do You want that?!"

"N-no"

"Then fight! Fight like there is no tomorrow! Protect Seirin!" he shouted, boosting the soldiers morale.

"Hai Commander!" all shouted back.

Kise hugged himself. "Eep! the captain sure is scary! Are all captain scary?" he shivered.

"Tch, kids these days! I"ll teach you to respect your seniors!"

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Izuki opened the door of the throne room. Riko Aida, sitting on the leaders chair.

"Chief." Izuki bowed, looking worried.

"Yes," she crumpled a piece of paper "When the warning said pirates, it did not say it will be the miracles." Frustrated she threw the paper. "Only one and we are barely hanging."

Then the door burst open "There.. there.." a huffing soldier opened the door, his face is pale. "There is a giant on the great hall!" he managed to say.

"More than half of the men is on the front.." Izuki looked at Riko "Chief.. I will—" A large hand on his shoulder.

"I will go Izuki" Sporting his trademark smile Kiyoshi said and walked out of the room.

"Teppei.." she wanted to stop him but.

"Don't worry Riko, I'll be careful." He assured her before completely disappearing.

Riko bit her lower lips. "Tsk, Izuki is Kagami with her?"

"Yes chief, Hyuuga reported that Kagami is on his way before going to the front lines."

"I hope you are right." She can't shake off a bad feeling.

At the Great Hall.

"Eh~ Why am I here again?" Murasakibara aka the giant yawned. He is all alone in the great hall, but alas someone arrived to keep him company.

"It's been a while," Kiyoshi greeted him, on the top of the staircase. The purple miracle lazily looked at him, his purple eyes glinting.

"Hm~ Do I know you?"

Kiyoshi is slightly surprised. "Seriously? You don't remember me?"

"I don't bother to remember weak opponents."

The brown haired smiled a sly one " Then I'll just have to make you remember using my sword" dark eyes glinting dangerously.

Half lidded purple eyes looked as dangerous "I'll crush you"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Kagami ran away from the battle, he badly needs to go to the study. But luck is not on his side. Ahead of him, a tall shadow is standing, he stop a good few feet away.

"Ah finally someone, I almost envied Kise." The lazy voice of Aomine Daiki echoed throughout the empty hallway.

"Are you picking a fight pirate?!" Kagami shouted, saying the last word with disgust.

With his pinky on his ear the blue haired pirate muttered a "So noisy"

"You miracles are so arrogant. Let's see if you could still say that after I beat you!"

"You can try but ...the only one who could beat me is me" Aomine rushed to Kagami his weapon on his hand. Kagami barely dodged the first and second, he used his sword as shield for the third.

Midnight eyes looked hungry "Entertain me"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Unbeknownst to everyone in Seirin, their prized treasures are already in the hands of the pirates. At the top of the Keep, two shadows stood.

"Then, I'm going."

"Go ahead, Atsushi is going to join later though Daiki might take some time" golden eyes shining, Akashi is using his emperor eye.

"Aomine is having trouble?" Midorima frowned.

"He have a potential, but no it is Daikis win." He looked down on the chaos below. "Ryota is having all the fun."

"You seem to be enjoying that Akashi"

Mismatched eyes looked at the green head shooting an arrow to the tower in front of them using a crossbow, Midorima tied the other end. He is about to take off when Akashi replied.

"You know the answer to that Shintarou"

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Amidst the chaos a lithe girl is reading, using a lamp as light. She took a moment to admire the moon and went back to her book.

*Swoosh

An arrow nearly hit her, only inches apart. Instead it hit the lamp, bringing the study to complete darkness. She immediately flipped her waist long hair to the side and hid.

*Crash * Grumble

"He is really sadistic, that Akashi" The greenhead then looks around the shelves on the table. He stopped on some piles, scanning it. He then searched the room once more to find some sort of bag to stuff the documents, but found none.

Fireworks lit up the sky, it is the signal to go for the miracles.

"Damn it," he still have none to put the papers in, when his eye caught a large toy box.

"This will have to do".

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Hah..hah.. Finally! I thought I was gonna die..." Kise exhaustedly said. "It's time to go!" Kise waved happily to the remaining soldiers.

"Wait.. Ugh" Hyuuga stabbed his sword on the ground to stand but failed.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Mine-chin, aka-chins calling." Murasakibara reminded Aomine, munching snacks where he get from nowhere. Aomine though did not bother to reply but striked Kagami, that caused the red haired to stagger back.

"I'm not going to let you win.." Taiga stubbornly tried to keep up.

"Heh" Aomine smirked, putting his spear on his shoulder. "I want to play with you longer but times up. Game over" he walks away.

"No, I wont let you escape!" Kagami yelled.

"Your freaking annoying, and..." pause "ain't you in a hurry?" he then jumped through the window after Murasakibara.

Kagami froze, he frantically turned and ran with all his remaining strenght. "My lady, please be safe."

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Attack on Seirin:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Hold on tight on those hawser. I will not stop if you fall"

Akashi goodnaturely warned as they escape. Under the Teiko ship four ropes are hanging carrying the four miracles. The four clung to the ropes like their lives, which it is literally as Akashi boosted the ship to its fastest. Just imagine the torture.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Mission Overaccomplished:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Miragen woke up late the next morning. They tried to rest their exhausted body aside from the trauma they experienced that night. They all had a late breakfast, cooked by the giant purple head. As usual there is Aomine stealing meat in Kises share, Murasakibara eating messily, Kise wailing 'Meanie" every now and then, Midorima grumpy as ever scolding complaining and Akashi silencing them. Momoi went ahead to report back at Teikou while the miracles are assigned to do an assessment of the loot goods. Midorima was assigned to do the duty, with Aomine and Kise to assist him (with moving stuff not with the actual task of course).

"Seirin is so rich! Just look at this!" Kise exclaimed gesturing the room full of treasure chests, vaults in different sizes. Aomine groaned at the blond.

"Where the hell do you get your energy from?" he grumbled.

The blond opened one and pulled out a silk cloth wrapping it in his body like an obi.

"This is not a lark Kise. We have work to do" Midorima pulled the cloth from Kise making the blond spin around. Kise ended in the floor, crying "Owiee! Meanie Midorimacchi!' crocodile tears flowing.

*Zzzz...Zzzzz

The three boys breathe stopped. They looked at each other.

"Mi..dorimac..cchi? A.. aominecchi?" Kise stuttered.

"That was not me Kise." Aomine neither groan nor grumble, wow that was a first.

"Me neither" The greenhead adjusted his glasses trembling. His face pale white despite the cool voice.

'Then who was that?' they all thought.

Then they heard the steady breathing again They followed the sound in Midorima's lead, Aomine on Kise's back.

"I didn't know Aominecchi is scared with this kind of things" the tan male smacked Kises head

"I'm not scared Idiot" he hissed at the Kises ear but unconsciously tighten his hold on the blond.

"Yeah.. yeah... like hell you are not Aominecchi."

"Shut up the two of you! Could you stop bickering for once?" the greenhead snapped softly.

The sound lead them to the toy box.

"Why is there a toy box in here?" Kise asked

Midorima answers "Its Akashis."

"Pfft"The two covered their mouths with both hands unable to contain their laughter. Their imagination running wild, Akashi their terror captain playing house and a doll? Plain hilarious.

"Idiots!" Midorima shouted at the two, his face red, obviously holding his laugh too. To make the bakaduo shut up he explained to the two what Akashi instructed him and the circumstances he was in.

And the moment of truth arrived. Midorima's bandaged hand lifted the lid slowly and... the three jawdropped.

Inside is a sleeping girl with the palest skin they have ever seen. She is curled up and obviously asleep. Her blue hair slightly covers her angelic face. Stunned, Midorima dropped his lucky item that day which is a chime. That woke her up, revealing a pair of ocean blue orbs. She sat up and blankly stared at the three speechless male.

She gave them a calm and collected "Good Morning."
