Kagami took a step backwards as Kuroko advanced towards him. So that was the thud he'd heard when he was downstairs. The thud of a body falling to the ground. He felt strangely unafraid, if a bit nauseous despite the situation as he picked a a shard of broken porcelain from the ground, slowly backing away towards the stairs. Maybe it was because he didn't really think that Kuroko would hurt him or that he didn't really register that his best friend was a murderer.

He really should call 119 but he was hesitant to, just in case it turned out that Kuroko was a victim as well and had just picked up Akashi's dead body after the murderer had killed him. Kagami knew that it wasn't true, but he still refused to give up on his friend with having absolute confirmation of his guiltiness.

Kuroko took a step forward and Kagami thrust the shard of porcelain in front of him. "Take one more step forward and I can't guarantee this won't end up in your stomach." His hand was violently shaking and a sick feeling was crawling up his throat. They both knew he wouldn't follow through with his threat, he couldn't in this state.
He was not fearful, he was horrified. Horrified at the sight of one of his friend's dead body dragged along the floor in the hands of the man he would call himself closest to.

Now he wasn't even sure if he'd reached the tip of the iceberg in the mystery that was Kuroko Tetsuya.

Midorima's fingers tensed against the wheel as the light turned red in front them. His hand twitched with the urge to throw something and he cursed in annoyance. Their journey back home was taking impossibly long with the congested roads. There had been accident along this road a few hours beforehand and so traffic was barely moving, inching forward at a snail-like pace.

A hand appeared next to him and he reached into the glove compartment to pull out a tissue, which he handed to the hovering hand reaching from the backseat. He turned around to see his sister gently wiping her daughter's face with the tissue, cradling her sleeping form. She had finally fallen asleep after an hour on the road, crying and whimpering as her mother held her. Sometimes as the tears leaked out she would whisper over and over, 'Uncle'.

That was right.

It was Uncle who couldn't save her, who let her go through the traumatising experience while he did nothing. Because he couldn't. Aomine was always one step ahead, always faster. But this time Midorima would block his path to the goal, once and for all. He'd informed the police of Aomine's fake death and they were on alert for him and knew his disguise. He wouldn't be able to hide forever. No matter how fast he ran this time he would always have a shadow following after him.

Waiting, for the right time to pounce.

Kuroko groggily stumbled through the alley, giggling to himself. He was half leaning on the wall, half somehow stumbling his way to his apartment. On reflection getting smashed in Aomine's party without a ride home was probably not the best idea, especially when said party was broken up at 4am when the police arrived.
However he excused himself for that mistake because he hadn't known that he was a complete lightweight until he started drinking. Kuroko only intended to have one shot but one turned into two, and two turned into three until he was stacking the empty shot glasses in an attempt to make a house. It of course failed miserably but in his drunken state he just laughed and tried again. Kuroko vaguely remembered Aomine coming by sometime during the party and helping him stack the glasses for a short while before someone came and dragged the blue-haired light away.

The rest of the night was a blur of noise and lights, until he was dragged out the house by Akashi when the cops arrived. Being the only one still relatively sober by the end of the party Akashi had agreed to drop Aomine and Kuroko home, but after helping him out the house Akashi was nowhere to be seen.

But he was fine, Kuroko thought to himself. His house wasn't that far away only a quick walk- SMACK. "Shit." Kuroko cursed, attempting to sit up. "It seems I've fallen over. But it's too dizzy to stand up. And the world is spinning, whoah those are some pretty colours, aren't they guy?"

He turned to the man sitting at the end of the alley, who slowly stood up. If he wasn't so drunk Kuroko might've recognised the distinctive mint green neckerchief around the man's neck as he approached him, or the faint red stain on his shirt.

"And what do we have here?" The man murmured, stopping at Kuroko's feet. "A drunk idiot. With blue hair. Who the fuck has blue hair?"

"Me." Kuroko deadpanned.

The man rolled his eyes. "Well yes I can see that. Such nice hair it is too." He grabbed a handful of the shadow's hair.

Kuroko squirmed slightly. "While I understand how nice it is to touch my hair I would appreciate it if you could let go of it."

"And here I was leaning in real close to give you a clue." The man tutted.

"A clue?"

"Was the neckerchief not enough? Or would the scar on my back jog your memory?"

His eyes widened as he came to a sudden realisation. "Y- you're..."

"Sunzen Madara. I like my victims to know who's going to kill them before they die. Courtesy and all that."

Kuroko stumbled to his feet and attempted to run away from the highly profiled serial killer only to fall short as Madara grabbed his arms.

"Not so fast. First we're going to have some... fun."

Kagami kept the porcelain shard in front of him as he gripped the phone in his back pocket. To call or not to call. He bit his lip, struggling with the situation. The police would be able to handle this, they could find out if Kuroko had actually killed Akashi and or not.

He drew his phone out and with one hand turned it on.

"Don't." Kuroko's eyes flashed dangerously as he stalked towards Kagami. "Don't you dare call anyone."

He dropped the corpse just as Kagami turned and ran down the stairs tripping numerous times in his haste. "Wait!" He felt something grab the back of his shirt and pull him back. He landed with his back on the stairs, Kuroko looming over him.

The shadow grabbed the phone in Kagami's hands. "Kagami-kun let go of the phone."

Kagami hissed in reply, choosing not to talk.

"Kagami-kun don't make me repeat myself." Kuroko threatened through gritted teeth as he struggled to release the phone from Kagami's grip.

Kagami yelled as Kuroko used his free hand to smash Kagami's elbow against the banister. Still the light refused to give the phone up. "KAGAMI!"

Kuroko's hand tensed against the phone. He leaned closer to his former light, enough so that his blue locks brushed against the other's forehead. "Now you've gone and forced my hand."

He reached behind Kagami to grasp the forgotten shard of porcelain dropped in favour of his phone. Kagami's eyes widened as he realised what Kuroko was reaching for.

"No- "

"I didn't want to do this."

BANG! Both heads turned towards the apartment door where the new arrival had burst in.

"Kuroko get away from him!"
