Himuro ended the call and shoved his phone in his pocket. He noticed the hopeful look in Tetsuki's eyes. He chuckled at her cuteness yet he couldn't help but to feel jealousy. That Takao girl was stealing Tetsuki away from him.

"Yes, little duck. Takao-san is coming," he said. Tetsuki smiled and hugged her beloved cousin. Himuro stroke her hair lovingly. He pulled Tetsuki to the sofa and he half sat and half laid down making Tetsuki lay down on top of him. Tetsuki made herself comfortable as her eye lids became heavy.

After 2 hours, the doorbell rang. Kagami opened the door.

"Yo, Kagami-kun~! I came to for a second sleepover!" Takao winked. She had bag full of snacks.

"Well, you're always welcomed here!" Kagami laughed and stepped away for Takao to enter. "I'm sorry to tell you that Tetsuki is taking a nap at the moment."

"Eeeh? Teeeeeet-chaaaaan~ Where are you~?" She sang with a bit of disappointment in it. She opened the door to the living room and nothing pretty was about to come out.

"Tet-chan!" Tetsuki flinched at the sudden yell. Himuro groaned at the noise and woke up. Tetsuki was about to sit up only to be pulled by Himuro.

"Takao-san, will you please shut up. We are trying to nap here," Himuro said in annoyance. Tetsuki struggled a bit and Himuro reluctantly let go of Tetsuki. Tetsuki quickly ran to Takao and hugged her tightly.

"Tet-chan~! You're cute today like always!" she cheered.

"Well, obviously, little duck was adorable since the day she was born," Himuro remarked. Kagami stepped away and escaped to the kitchen not wanting to be in war with them. He found Kuroko in the kitchen drinking water.

"Hey, Kuroko," he called. Tetsuki only keeps looking blankly ahead.

"Kuroko?" he tried again. Tetsuki blinks and looks at Kagami curiously.

"What are you thinking about?" she kept on staring at him. After a moment she put the cup down and shook her head before she walked away. From the kitchen Kagami kept his eyes on Tetsuki with worry. Takao pulled Tetsuki into a hug and smiled widely.

"I want to see Tet-chan childhood album!" she suggested. Tetsuki nodded giving her a small smile. Tetsuki pulled Takao to her room and closed the door behind her. Himuro walked in the kitchen and started to help to make dinner.

"Oi, Tatsuya," Kagami called as he chopped some vegetables.

"Hmm?"


Tetsuki pulled out her album and opened it. There were full of Tetsuki baby pictures. Takao smiled and kept looking through all the pictures until she saw something that caught her attention.

"Tet-chan, Tet-chan, who are these two?" she pointed at the forest green hair kid and a brunet on each side of Tetsuki. Tetsuki took her phone out.

"They are my childhood friends." She typed, "The one here is Midorima-kun." She pointed at the greenet.

"What about the one here?"

Tetsuki stared at the picture for a while. Then she shook her head to say that she doesn't remember. Takao suddenly remembered something.

"There is a Midorima in our basketball club!" she cheered, "Could he be your childhood friend? What was it… Shin-chan?"

'Shin-chan?' Tetsuki thought to herself. "You mean Shintarou?"

"Yeah, that's it!" Takao smiled. Tetsuki nodded as Tako flipped another page and saw a photo of rainbow heads.

"Hey! Shin-chan is here! Is this the generation of miracles?" She caught Tetsuki slightly flinch. She took note of that and would ask Himuro later about it. Tetsuki nodded as she looked the picture with a hint of sadness in it. Her eyes lost its shine and were empty and full of darkness.

"A-Ah! T-Tet-chan! I think dinner is ready!" Takao quickly changed the topic. Tetsuki nodded again and she stepped out of her room. Takao look at the picture again. She took the picture and shoved it in her bag.

TIMESKIP


Tetsuki was quietly sleeping in Takao's arms on the sofa; Himuro was reading a book sitting across them and Kagami watching T.V. Takao decided to bring the topic.

"Himuro-san," she started.

"Yes?"

"… What has the generation of miracles done to her?" she asked cautiously. Himuro and Kagami glanced at her and stopped with what they were doing. Kagami shut the television down and turned to look at Takao and Himuro closed the book and set it aside and look at Takao.

"How do you know it's them?" Kagami asked. Takao remained silent. Himuro could only sigh and opened his mouth.

"I guess I could say they are the reason to Tetsuki being voiceless." Takao widened her eyes in shock.

"What?"

Kagami rubbed the back of his neck. "They hurt Kuroko in an emotional way, I guess. The stress they gave her was unbearable for her."

"What… What did they do?" Takao eyes narrowed and her eyes shone dangerously. Himuro and Kagami looked at each other then nodded.


Tetsuki looked around to find herself at the gym. The gym that was so familiar. She saw a basketball in front of her and she picked it up.

"Tetsu!" she heard. The tanned male was standing there smiling and with his hand up. "Pass!" Tetskui smiled as she passed the ball only for the tanned male to drop his hand together with his smile. The ball went right through him. "Didn't I tell you that I don't remember how to receive your passes?" Tetsuki's eyes widen. Tetsuki shook her head and ran towards him, "Aomine-kun!" but he vanished in the thin air. Tetsuki stood there lost.

"Kuroko," she heard behind her and flipped her head to see her childhood friend. "I don't need your friendship." Then a purple head and a blond boy appeared beside him, "You're weak," said the purple head. "I've already surpassed you," said the blond. Tetsuki's legs shook and she fell on where she stood tears already forming. "Stop," she begged. "No more…" She heard footsteps. They were coming towards her but slowly faded. She hung her head low. She could see someone kneeling down in front of her and holding her chin to tilt her head up. She saw the bloody red hair and ruby eyes. "Tetsuki," he purred. Tetsuki hugged him tightly as he patted her back to calm her down. "Akashi-kun…" Akashi's hand halted.

"Tetsuki…" his voice suddenly changed very cold and distant. Tetsuki pulled herself away to see mismatching eyes. "Tetsuki, you were just a mere tool for me to use. Turns out that you are a useless being." He said with a wide cold smile.

Tetsuki threw her eyes open. She was in her room. Takao was nowhere to be seen. Tetsuki pulled her legs to her chest and hugged them tightly. Her tears rolled down as she opened her mouth but no sound came out. She tried calling for Himuro, for Kagami, for Takao but nothing came out of her mouth. She wanted to scream and yell. She stood and…

CRASH… WHOOSH CRASH!

The pounding that pained her heart, the ringing sound that made her deaf and the visions she had that made her lose sight of her surroundings. She couldn't stop destroying what she loved. She broke everything that had memories about them. Finally she felt exhausted. She panted and sat where she stood. She cried and cried not knowing what to do. Her door slammed open and Himuro pulled her in a tight hug.

"It's okay Tetsuki. Everything is alright," he cooed. Takao look horrified at the room and Kagami slowly walked over to Tetsuki and patted her back comfortingly. Takao's horrified eyes turned to anger. She walked over to Tetsuki and took her hand and squeezed it.

"Tet-chan," she whispered getting Tetsuki's attention. "I'll teach that Midorima bastard what real basketball is! So don't give up!" Tetsuki look at her with wide eyes and tears rolling down slowly coming to a stop. Kagami brought up his fist, "I will bring those miracles down!" he smiled. Tetsuki fist bumped with Kagami and slowly smiled. Himuro pulled her tightly and kissed her temple, "Tetsuki, you're not alone… I'll always be there for you." Tetsuki smiled brightly.

'I'm not alone… I have them here right in front of me… They will be my light who will bring them back to light.'
