Chapter 5:
Kagami sighed in exhaustion as he looked over at the group of kids surrounding a green haired megane while he pulled out random things from the giant bag he brought with him.
"Wow onii-san! You have so many toys!" Kamiko said as she stared at Midorima's pile of lucky items.
"No, these are not toys. They are lucky items," Midorima said correcting the girl and pushing up his glasses.
"What are lucky items?" Aoi asked.
"They are items that bring luck to the owner. Now, what are your zodiac signs so I can distribute them correctly?" Midorima questioned the children.
"Whassha zhoodia shhign nii-can?" Kyo asked with his mouth full of chips. The kids nodded and looked over at the green haired boy. Midorima sighed.
"Alright then, just tell me your birthdays," Midorima told them, not wanting to try and explain the complexity of star signs and Oha Asa to four year olds. One by one they each told him their birthdays and Midorima gave out the items he brought accordingly. The kids were all very happy and beamed their adorable smiles at him.
"Thank you nii-san!" the kids said and all crowded around to give him a hug.
"Wah!" Midorima said before he toppled over under the mass of chibis. When he got up he was blushing and pushing his glasses up at 50 miles per hour.
"Hmph," he grunted when he calmed down, feeling very pleased with himself. A smug grin on him face as he glanced at the other three teens in the room. They all had ticks of annoyance showing on their foreheads as they watched Midorima. Momoi suddenly felt an intense fighting spirit to win the hearts of the chibis before the other three could beat her to it. She felt more confident talking to the girls first so that's who she targeted.
"Oooh! What are you drawing Tsukimo? May I take a look?" Momoi asked the cute little girl with a friendly smile.
"I'm drawing nii-chan and me, you can look if you want onee-san," the girl said shyly and scooted over on the floor so Momoi could sit next to her.
"Wow! That's so pretty! Are you a princess and is Tetsu-kun the prince?" Momoi asked.
"Yup! Nii-chan is my prince!" Tsukimo smile brightly when she said it causing Momoi to blush and squeal at how cute she is.
"I wish Tetsu-kun were my prince too!" she told the girl.
"We can all share Prince Nii-chan! He's my prince too nee-san!" Rima said excitedly and showed Momoi her drawing. The other two girls finished their drawings and showed her theirs too.
"Hey nee-san, how do I become pretty like you? I wanna grow up and be a pretty princess for Nii-chan!" Kamiko exclaimed. Momoi smiled fondly at the girl, understanding how she feels.
"Awwww you think I'm pretty? How sweet! Well, how about I share some of my secrets with you all?" Momoi smiled conspiratorially at them and they all giggled. The five girls launched into a complex conversation on the magic of cosmetics, beauty and fashion that none of the boys could understand or keep up with.
Aomine continued to look at the games Kuroko had and found that most of them were historically based RPGs, but there were a few basketball and racing games. Knowing the other games would be too complicated for the four year olds to understand, he chose a racing game.
"Okay guys! Onii-sama is going to teach you how to play a racing game with his amazing skills!" Aomine said to the group of kids behind him and grinned.
"Okay Ahomine!" Kyo teased, knowing the name annoyed Aomine.
"Hey! I told you not to call me that!" he scowled but broke into a grin and ruffled Kyo's hair.
Kyo decided to climb into Aomine's lap and sit there to watch. The other three decided to sit beside him while Midorima sat on the couch to spectate. Kagami headed to the kitchen to make some tea for the uninvited guests. When he came back he challenged Aomine to a race, not wanting to be outdone by the ganguro.
"Hey Aomine! One-on-one race!" Kagami challenged.
"Fine! I'll show you who's better! If I win you have to tell them to call you Bakagami!" Aomine called back.
"Fine! Let's go! Watch me beat Ahomine guys!" Kagami said to the chibis.
"Yay! Go Kaga-nii!" Aoi shouted, pumping his hands in the air and climbing to sit in the tiger's lap. Sion and Mini-Taiga sat next to them and watched. Aomine won in the end laughing at Kagami who now has to be called Bakagami.
"How uncool Bakagami-nii!" Aoi said and laughed.
"Bwahahahahaha!" Aomine laughed, tears forming in the corner of his eyes.
"Hey! One-on-One again! I won't be defeated so easily!" Kagami shouted indignantly.
"I refuse to be outdone by two idiots. I will show you real skills. Oha Asa predicted that Virgos and Leos will lose to Cancers today," Midorima said and joined them on the floor in front of the TV.
"You know how to play too nii-san?" Sion asked Midorima as he sat down beside the boy.
"Yes, and I can say I am quite skilled," Midorima answered the boy. Aomine had plugged in a 3rd controller and was about to start the next round when the door rang again.
"Probably Kise," Kagami said as he got up to answer the door.
As soon as it was open, the blonde bounded through, even more cheerful and energetic as before.
"Hello Kagamicchi! Pardon the intrusion!" Kise yelled as he took off his shoes and entered then house, when he got to the living room he realized there were more than just eight children.
"EH?! What is Minnacchi doing here?" Kise asked, a look of total shock and confusion on his face.
"As if we'd let you get the upper hand idiot/Kise-kun," Momoi and Aomine answered him in slight annoyance and smugness.
"It is luckier for Cancers to care for children today," Midorima supplied with his tsundereness, causing the other teens to sweat drop.
"Aw darn! Oh well. Anyway, guess what I brought!" Kise excitedly asked the Kuroko siblings.
Kise held a bag out in front of him to get the kids attention. They all dropped their things and crowded around the tall model.
"What's in the bag onii-san?" Rima asked, slightly blushing at Kise.
"Is it toys like what that onii-san gave us?" Kamiko said pointing toward Midorima who was hiding his blush.
"Nope! I brought….Animal costumes! Well, the ears, tails and paws. But it still counts! " Kise beamed and held up various animal ear head bands.
"Uwa! They look just like the ears bunny-san has! Can I wear those?!" Rima asked excitedly, already reaching up to touch the fluffy white bunny ears in Kise's hand.
"Sure Rima-chan!" Kise gave her the head band and dug around in the bag to find the ball of fluff that was the tail and the white fuzzy gloves. Momoi squealed at how adorable the girl looked and took out her phone to take pictures.
"Hey! How about we have a photo shoot and send the pictures to Tetsu-kun?! I bet he would be so happy!"
"That's a great idea Momoicchi! Come on everyone! We're going to have a photo shoot! Yay!" Kise dumped the entire bag of costumes he had bought onto the table in the living room so each child would be able to look through and pick the one they likes.
"Hey look it! I'm a monkey! OOH! OOH! AAH! AAH!" Kyo imitated monkey sounds when he put on the pair of monkey ears he found.
"Ahahahah! That suits you Kyo! How about me! I'm a panther! Grawwr!" Aoi put on the ears and paws and barred his teeth in Kyo's direction.
"Pfft! You look more like a kitten!" Kyo snickered at his brother. The two started bickering and roaring and making monkey sounds at each other while the others looked for their animals.
"OOOH! There's tiger ears! You should wear them Taiga! Since you're a tiger too!" Tsukimo gave the ears she was holding to her brother who took them and put then on his head.
"Roar! How do I look?" Taiga asked his sister.
"Scary!" Tsukimo said giving him a smile and a thumbs up. Taiga had found the tail and tried to put it on himself but he couldn't see behind him so he couldn't hook it on right.
"Here, I'll get that," Kagami who had been watching them all with amusement saw that Mini-Taiga was having trouble with his tail and went over to help him.
"Thanks Kaga-nii," Mini-Taiga gave him a small smile and joined his brothers playing jungle animals.
"You look just like a cute little squirrel Kamiko!"
"Tanks A-ee!" (Thanks Ami) Kamiko tried to say while her cheeks were stuffed with snacks just like real squirrel.
"Onii-san! Can you help me find the panda costume?" Ami asked Midorima who was sitting close by.
"Sure," Midorima said and began looking with the small girl through the pile of different animals. After a while, they finally found it and Ami put it on.
"Thanks onii-san!" Ami said and gave Midorima a small peck on the cheek.
"Y-you didn't have to do that! A thank you was enough!" Midorima stuttered and blushed a bit while the girl giggled.
"How sly Midorimacchi! I want a kiss too Ami-chan!" Kise whined and held open his arms.
"Maybe, if you catch me first!" Ami sped off laughing with Kise chasing her around the room.
Aomine was sitting down on the couch next to Kagami and both were watching the kids. They both felt that kids were interesting but were unsure how to act around them. Most other kids that had met Aomine all ran away from his scary face or just called him a gangkuro. Kagami was the same, the kids that looked at him cried. His intimidating red eyes and the scowl always present on his face.
Tsukimo and Sion had both found their favorite animals. Tsukimo was a ladybug who had antennas and wings instead of ears and a tail, and Sion was a bear. Both had gotten dressed, helping the other with the tails and such since everyone else was busy squealing and taking picture, spacing out in their thoughts, blushing and feeling too fluster to notice much else ,or playing with their siblings.
"Alright! Now that everyone is dressed, let's begin the photo shoot!" Momoi called. She and kise had set up a background made of the spare white table cloth and had drawn on it with washable markers to resemble the forest or a jungle.
DING DONG
The doorbell sounded but no one heard over the noise of the excited kids, two happy teens, and the racing game being played by the other three.
"Hm. It seems we were not heard Atsushi," Akashi said after three seconds since the door had not been opened. An annoyed tick appeared on his head and there was a dangerous glint in his different colored eyes as he took out a pair of red scissors.
"Yeah Aka-chin. I wonder if they are having fun and couldn't hear us," the purple hair giant drawled in his lazy tone while munching on a bag of chips.
"Don't worry Atsushi, we'll get their attention in a second," Akashi said as he stepped back and prepared to launch the pair of scissors at the door.
THWACK! A pair of red scissors flew past the faces of the three teens sitting in front of the T.V, barely a hairs width from grazing them and drawing blood. It embedded itself in the trunk of the house plant in its path, splitting the tree in half.
The three were terrified and shocked at what had just happened and all turned to look at the pair of scissors that came it them, still deep in the bark of the tree. Aomine had passed out and Midorima's glasses cracked a bit and he froze up.
"What was that loud sound Minacchi?" Kise said coming from the photoshoot room they had set up in one of the guest rooms. He paled when he saw the red scissors and what had happened to the two other Miracles.
"A-A-Akashicchi is here Kagamicchi! Hurry! Open the door before we all die!" Kise yelled and shook Kagami to get him out of his trance. Kise started wailing, his wails and tears finally woke Kagami up and his soul floated back into his body. It was previously about to float away from his mouth.
"Can't that guy ring the doorbell like normal people?! I nearly died from a heart attack!" Kagami mumble as he went to open the door. Kise had woken up Aomine and Midorima after he had woken up Kagami.
"How dare you make me wait Taiga. That was a warning for now. Make the mistake again and you won't be so lucky, although I do feel bad for killing Tetsuya's plant. I shall leave compensation," Akashi said as he walked into the house with Murasakibara in tow.
"Did something happen? Where did you go Kise-kun? We were almost done setting up the sets! How could you just leave like that?!" Momoi exclaimed as she walked out to see where Kise had gone and saw him paled and terrified, fiercely shaking Midorima and Aomine. She looked around and spotted the red scissors imbedded in the tree.
"Um…Nee-san, what happened to Nii-chan's tree? There are scissors in it. Scissors grow on trees? I better tell Sion about this, he'll want to know scissors come from trees," Mini-Taiga mumbled quietly while in Momoi's arms. She had carried him out with her to look for Kise.
At the same moment Mini-Taiga had said that, Akashi had walked in along with Murasakibara.
"Good evening Satsuki, Shintaro, Ryouta, Daiki, it seems that we had all thought the same thing. Ryouta, you shall be punished for your insolence later. Did you really think that you could beat me, the absolute?" Akashi said addressing the people in the room.
"N-n-n-n-no Akashicchi, it was only a joke! I was just kidding!" Kise stuttered terrified of his former captain, realizing too late that it was probably a bad idea to let the GoM know what he was doing.
"Hm," was the only thing Akashi had said while observing the messy living room.
"Satsuki, what are you all doing?" Akashi addressed Momoi in a soft, gentle voice, shocking everyone in the room, some more than others as Aomine and Kise had fainted again. Kagami hadn't heard since he went to prepare tea. Midorima, Murasakibara, and Momoi were shocked but had come to understand why he was talking gently. Mini-Taiga had covered his cute little face with his tiny little paws and was nuzzling into Momoi's shoulder, scared of the two strangers that he had never seen before suddenly appearing inside the house.
"It's alright Taiga-kun! This is Akashi-kun and Murasakibara-kun! They are also friends of Tetsu-kun! No need to be shy!" She coaxed the boy into looking up at the red head and the purple giant.
"Um, hello," was all he said. Suddenly a mass of small animals came running out at them, all excitedly talking and jumping around.
"Momoi nee-san! I thought we were going to start the photo shoot! Where did you and Kise-nii go?" Rima said as she clung to Momoi's side, not noticing the two new guests in the room yet.
"WOAH! There's a giant! There's a giant! He's so tall!" Kyo yelld to his siblings, the first to see the towering figure that was eating chips, standing by the other newcomer. Aoi and Kamiko walked over to Kyo and all three stared at Murasakibara, not paying any attention to the red head, not that he minded, for now he was focused on the cute little tiger in Momoi's arms.
Murasakibara had squatted down to look at the kids and decided to also put down his big bag of snacks.
"Hi mini-chins, I'm Murasakibara Atsushi, do you want to eat snacks with me?" Murasakibara had proceeded to dump his massive pile of snacks onto the floor and gestured to the kids.
"Wow! You have a lot of snacks! Is it really okay to share them?" Kamiko asked spotting a box of strawberry wafers and slowly walking towards it.
"Yup, I want to share with Mini-chins," Murasakibara said and gave a cracker stick to Kyo and a bag of chips to Aoi. They all began eating and sharing bites with each other. The kids took turns feeding the giant while all sitting in his lap. He would also feed them the various snacks he had in his hand.
Kagami had come back with the tea and set it on the table. He looked at the giant mess Murasakibara had made and got angry.
"Murasakibara! You made a mess! And the kids shouldn't eat so much snacks! They have to eat dinner later! Stop feeding them!"
"But Kaga-nii~~~!" the three kids whined, but eventually stopped and help Murasakibara begin cleaning up the snacks.
Midorima woke up the two Miracles and they were all drinking tea while the events unfolded.
"Oh right! So, Kise had brought these cute little animal costumes for everyone and we were planning a photo shoot and sending the pictures to Tetsu-kun later! Would you like to join us Akashi-kun?" Momoi explained to Akashi as he looked over the other cute little animals. Mini-Taiga had come down from Momoi's arms and was telling Sion about the tree that grew scissors.
"Hm, yes, I would like to join," he said not showing how he was feeling inside. Akashi was secretly immensely pleased at the idea. He always had a soft spot for Tetsuya and now that applied to his adorable little siblings as well. He particularly felt his eyes watching the little tiger who resembled his Tetsuya closely.
"Okay, so now I'll formally introduce you all to Murasakibara-kun and Akashi-kun! They are our and Tetsu-kun's friends and are coming over to play with us! Now, how about we go start on the photo shoot!" Momoi exclaimed loudly to get the children's attention.
They all began to file into the guest room. Akashi had somehow picked up Mini-Taiga when no one was looking and was now carrying him in his arms and smiling fondly and gently at the small boy, and receive a soft cute smile in return. It became a bit cramped in the room but everyone fit.
"I'm back. How are you grandpa, grandma?" Kuroko addressed the two elders sitting in front of him. Kuroko had entered a secluded room at the center of the main residence to keep out unwanted listeners. There were guards outside the room but they were highly trusted ad loyal to the Kuroko Clan and its Heads.
"Tet-chan! Oh! We missed you so much! You haven't grown at all since the last time we saw you! Have you been eating properly? You must eat properly!" his grandmother exclaimed as she reached over to hold his small masked face in her hands. Taking a good look at him even though his face was mostly covered up.
"Since you moved out alone we have been so worried! You should really come back and visit us more often you brat!" his grandpa chuckled and pat his shoulder with a kind and strong hand.
Kuroko smiled through his mask at his grandparents and answered their questions. He promised to come visit whenever he could and when his grandparents asked to see how his siblings were doing, they spent a good 20 minutes looking at the photos Kuroko had taken on his cell phone. Kuroko had noticed he had a missed call from Kagami and noted it, he would have to call back and see if anything happened, it gave him a slightly bad feeling in his stomach but it would have to wait.
"Dear, look! They are growing up to be adorable! I wish we could go down and visit but we can't leave the main residence without a head. Maybe you could persuade your parents to come back and give us a break so we can visit the children?" his grandma said to him.
"Well, we have to find them first. This is why I had come to talk to you. My parents have been kidnapped by a rival gang," Kuroko told his grandparents and they immediately stopped smiling, all traces of fun carefreeness now replaced with serious tension.
"Shoko and Takeshi were taken?! That's impossible! They would need the 8 best Kumichos to take down just one of them, but they were both together! How can that be!?" his grandfather was dumbfounded. He had trained his daughter the best and he knows she is the strongest fighter out there and her husband Takeshi is second only to her! That is why the Kuroko Clan stands at the top of the underworld. The duo had beaten every Kumicho that had challenged them at the annual Battle of Kings every year since Shoko had taken over the clan. It was like that for the past 17 years.
The Kuroko Clan has ruled the underworld ever since Kuroko's mom had taken the crown. She laid down her rules and the rest followed, knowing full well the consequences if they disobeyed. Most had resigned to the rules and decided to change all of their ways. There was to be no drug selling, or slave trading in the black market, especially children. None of the gangs in the area closer to the Kuroko Clan main HQ dared to disobey, there were guards and members everywhere but in the farther reaches of the country, there were some that were able to slip by.
Kuroko's siblings had been rescued during a raid of one of the slave trading houses that was still in operation 3 years ago. Kuroko's parents had found out that there was a smaller more secretive clan that was still kidnaping children, particularly those that were attractive, to sell them to creepos that had fetishes and pedophilia. Their parents were killed and they were all taken from their homes when members of the gang and broken into their house. After that, Kuroko's parents had taken them in and raised them away from the yakuza side of their lives. They didn't want them all to be involved at a young age and would wait until they were older. If they were exposed to yakuza again, even if they were only one years old they remember the feelings of hostility and being locked away in a dark cell all alone. They were all traumatized and now have issues with sleeping alone or being left alone and just the dark in general. They all shared rooms with each other and had nightlights on in their bedrooms. Kuroko's parents had tried their best to give them a normal (ish) life with no contact of Yakuzas and that's what happened when they had gotten kidnapped.
"The criminals had brought guns with them and attacked the house. They threatened to shoot the kids if mom and dad hadn't gone with them without struggling. Mom and dad were worried that they would get hurt or have a panic attack break down from seeing the yakuza in a situation like that. It would've reminded them of what had happened to their birth parents," Kuroko explained what the kids had told him and the other pieces he had filled in.
"I see. So that's what happened. I'm glad the kids are okay. So what do you think we should do Tet-chan? We have to find them and bring them back before the Battle of Kings! Chaos would break loose all over the city if the one of the rebel clans were to win," grandma Kuroko questioned.
"I know grandma. First, I need you to send all the members besides the ones needed to guard the house, out on scouting missions to watch and search the city and the prefectures for any clues or traces of the perpetrators. I had Shigetsu look at the recent activities of the rebel clans and any other clans that aren't directly under us for suspicious activity. I think it will take a while to find them but we have to work fast. I will also be looking after my siblings for now, we all fit in my apartment no worries. I'll keep them safe, and will also take care of my studies," Kuroko answered. He then walked to the door to call Shigetsu in.
"So who should we keep an eye on most?" Kuroko questioned the man that had just entered.
"It seems that the Munenori and their underlings have been more open with their rebelling, even the new underlings have been acting arrogant and causing trouble for the residents in the next city and the surrounding countryside, they have yet to spread deeper into our main territory but it is suspicious that they have suddenly begun acting out a couple weeks before the Kumicho were taken," Shigetsu reported to the younger male.
"I see, have a group trail and search the different hideouts of the Munenori clan. We don't know if they have and accomplice group for now so we can only search their hideouts. Send the boys out immediately," Kuroko gave the order smoothly, he was used to standing in as head for his parents and giving orders. Kuroko turned to his grandparents to say his goodbyes.
"It seems we are done for now. I think we should also keep the search mission in case, there is an accomplice. I will check back in with Shigetsu a few days from now. He will also report any information to you. It's getting late, I have to get back soon," Kuroko said.
"Tet-chan, we have been thinking, and I think that it's best for you to give up basketball for the time being. We need you to stand in for your parents as head for now and that is going to take up a lot of your time. We aren't worried that you will neglect your sibling either, but we are afraid you will neglect your own wellbeing. We know that basketball means the world to you but it's something you'll have to sacrifice," his grandmother told him gently but firmly.
Kuroko was in a state of shock. Basketball was something he loved. It made him feel like he was living a normal life as a teen and had given him an escape from the torture and hurt filled childhood of being chased out and left along because he came from a yakuza background. The teachers feared him and ignored him. His classmates were made to stay away from him. They all had feared him. When he had moved to Teiko Middle School, it was three cities away from where he had grown up. He decided to hide his family background in an unfamiliar place and tried to start anew. He had loved basketball as a child but wasn't allowed to join any teams or play with the other children. He often played alone but when he did, it made him feel like he was just a normal kid, playing basketball afterschool. When he joined the Teiko Basketball Team, it made him feel like he mattered. He was part of a legendary team and he had helped create that legend. It was the happiest time of his childhood, until it broke that is, but now in Seirin, he had been able to escape again and feel happiness. Kuroko sat there emotionless and frozen and stared at his grandparents.
"We are in a state of emergence and you will need to be well rested to take on the full-time job of being a Kumicho. It's time we began a more detailed education on the job of being Kumicho. You are going to take over in the future, maybe sooner if this does not go well, so we need you at the top of the game. There are important meetings with other Kumicho's about the state of the area that are under their direct watch and we have to have a capable head there. If your grandmother or I were to appear, they would think that we are in a weakened state and attack. We can't let the world your parent build come crumbling down. Not only will it affect the clan, but innocent, honest living civilians we had vowed to protect when they came under our contract.
I'm sorry Tet-chan, that you have to be the one to make the sacrifice but this is the only way. If things get resolved smoothly and we are able to find you parents, you are more than welcome to take up basketball again," his grandfather explained, almost pleaded to him. Kuroko understood, and he knew he had to. No matter how much it hurts, he has to.
"It's alright I understand. I will let my coach know when I get back to school. This is all the more reason to find my parents as soon as possible. Take care grandma, grandpa," Kuroko gave them his answer and left. There was no goodbye greeting from the members since they had long been sent out by Shigetsu for the search.
He quietly got into the same black car that took him there and told Shigetsu to drive him home. Kuroko had remembered that Kagami had called him and took out his phone to check to see if there was anything new. He had 15 new messages from Momoi-san. Curious he opened one and for the first time in his life, he burst into a nosebleed. Momoi had sent him the pictures from the photo shoot they had in his house. Rima was on the screen and was munching on a carrot and imitating a cute little bunny. He opened the next message and it was a picture of all of the boys, they were all scaring each other and roaring in the picture, their paws up and looked as if they were taking swipes at each other. Kuroko's nosebleed got worse and it began leaking out of his mask. The car had stopped at a red light and Kuroko took off his mask to clean up the blood.
In the 30 seconds it took for the light to change, Kuroko's identity was now in the hands of the enemy.
Ending Note: Whew! Finally done with this chapter! It had taken so long to write, OMB and the past three chapters were originally planned to be one. -.-" no way that would've been possible.
