Chapter 7 (part 1):
"Where is he? The school let out 15 minutes ago! He can't be at basketball practice since he just turned in his resignation," a rough voice whispered impatiently to itself. The eyes scanned the front gate of the school and along the street looking for a head of sky-blue hair. After another 30 minutes of searching and waiting, the man gave up and left to who knows where.
Kuroko could feel that there was something wrong. He looked around but unable to find the source of his disturbance, he brushed it off and continued on his way to the daycare. The day after, Kuroko still couldn't help but feel that there is something lurking out there and it's looking for him. He was frustrated and annoyed that he still wasn't able to pinpoint who or what it was. It nagged away at his mind and put him on edge. Normally, he would've been able to brush it off as another clan targeting him or keeping tabs on him but now, he realized that it might not be just him they're after but it could also be his siblings. He knew that it would most likely be the Munenori, but the Kuroko clan had many silent enemies so he couldn't be completely sure. He absolutely must find whoever it is and make sure his siblings are safe.
The third day, Kuroko made himself purposely visible by bumping into one of the people on the street and watching for suspicious movement in the area. There, he saw it. A flinch of surprise from a man sitting on a bench "reading" the newspaper, but it was not because someone suddenly appeared but it was because that's where he was all along. Kuroko made note of the man in the loose sloppy clothes, he was the one that was watching him for the past two days. Kuroko quickly apologized to the person he bumped into and went on his way. His mind was now at ease that he had located the potential threat.
The man gave an involuntary jolt of surprise when Kuroko had materialized out of nowhere.
"He was right there the whole time?! I was just looking down that way a few seconds ago and I didn't see anyone with blue hair!" He went back to pretending to read the three day old newspaper he had in his hands to avoid suspicion, totally unaware that he had been found out. After seeing Kuroko for the first time, he was able to see him walking down the street easier. Although Kuroko did disappear from time to time, if the man concentrated intently, he would eventually find the boy again. As soon as Kuroko was out of sight, he got up and went to a nearby payphone and faked making a call, all the while texting his superior on the status.
I managed to spot him. It took a whole three days to find the kid and it was because he had bumped into someone on the street. After the initial sighting, finding him because slightly easier. I plan to gauge his strength sometime soon but it must be when he is nearer to the school. Any closer to his apartment and it would be too deep in the main territory to be able to find anything out without alerting the clan.
End
The chance to measure the strength of the Shadow Heir came to him faster than he had anticipated and Kuroko had come to him, not the other way around. He didn't even know that Kuroko was upon him until he was suddenly yanked into the alleyway he had walked past as he was making his way to his usual bar after the watch shift the day after he had saw Kuroko.
Kuroko reached out and grabbed the man's collar and pulled him into the dark alley. Kuroko dragged him deeper into the alley to avoid attracting attention by the noise. The man was unable to cry out at all, his collar effectively choking him and cutting off most of his air supply. He was struggling to just fill his lungs with air.
Once they were deep enough, Kuroko singlehandedly tossed the man into the wall. A solid thud came from after and was followed by coughs and splutters. The man breathed heavily, trying to gain the oxygen he lost. After a few silent seconds save for the breathing, the man gasped out,
"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?"
Kuroko silently stared at the man before kicking the wall centimeters next to the man's head. He heard him flinch and shift out of the way but Kuroko won't allow him to escape. He reached down and grabbed his shirt collar and yanked him up. The cloud overhead moved and the moonlight cast down, illuminating the alleyway enough for the man to make out the cold, emotionless face and the empty eyes inches from his own. Kuroko didn't bother with a disguise as he knew the man had already seen his face.
"You know who I am. Now tell me, who. Are. You?" The voice sent shivers down the man's spine. It sounded harsh, powerful, and worst of all, inhuman. He froze up, unable to move from fear and intimidation. It dully registered in his mind that this was the Shadow Heir.
Kuroko scoffed, it was another weak underling. His anger flared. They send an amateur to try and take him down? They are sorely underestimating him. An idea came to mind, he'll show them just how weak he is.
Kuroko dropped the stunned man and round house kicked him across the face. His heel making contact with the nose and he heard it shatter. The man didn't even cry out in pain. He laid where he landed. Kuroko walked up to him and flipped him over onto his back, his foot planted on the man's chest.
"Who. Are. You?" Still no answer. Kuroko gave a sharp kick to the stomach and the man started coughing up blood. He had been holding his breath the whole time after his nose had been broken to avoid swallowing the blood and now it came back up after Kuroko had kicked him. It took him a few moments to get all of the blood out of his mouth and when he took in a breath to answer, Kuroko kicked him again. He grew impatient at the wait for the answer. Kuroko put the man lying on his back in a hold that was used for breaking an arm.
"Answer me or I'll break your arm,"
"P-pleasske don'! Ah'll tell yuh naow! Ah'm ah newbie fruh tuh XXX clon! I had hud tuh rum muh off tuh thadow aeh an wandd thu see if yuh wuh real! Pleasske don' hut meh!" His words came out airy and sloppy because of his broken nose but Kuroko was able to understand him. (sorry, idk how a person with a broken nose would really talk but I used a person with a stuffed nose as the basis) The man slid down the sleeve on his right wrist, the one Kuroko was holding onto and there was indeed a tattoo for the clan he had named.
"How did you know I was around here?"
"Ahi happd tuh see a puhssn wih ska-bluh hahh wakkn wih uh red-hea and I rehmbuhd tat tuh thadow hah ska-bluh hahh tuh."
Kuroko got off of the man and dusted off his pants. He looked down at him with the unnerving stare and watched him flinched and cower in fear.
"Don't let me catch you around here again and keep your mouth shut about your information or the clan will be annihilated and you won't get away with just a broken nose and a sprained wrist. You'll be lucky to even be able to breathe after I'm through,"
As Kuroko walked toward the entrance of the alley, he faltered in his step slightly, the fatigue was affecting him now. The past few days of training and the extra force exerted just then was already showing. It was slight but Kuroko was sure the man didn't catch it. Little did he know that the man he let go had the same type of eyes as Riko and could tell he had been training and knew his physical stats.
The man smirked then flinched in the pain it caused his broken nose when he saw the falter, his eyes not missing a single movement. That slight falter was the key to allowing him to see Kuroko's body state and what level he was currently. Sure enough, the Shadow had been through intense training recently and his level was impossibly high for someone of his build.
Seems that I was able to get the info earlier than planned. The Shadow came to me, I didn't even have to plan an ambush. Don't worry, he has no idea that I'm from Munenori. His body shows that he had went through intensive training recently. His level is almost that of his parents. He is stronger than all of the smaller bosses under the Kumicho's command and is on par if not slightly stronger than the Kumicho herself. I'll report back after I give the underground doctor a visit. The brat broke my nose.
Kuroko jogged back to his apartment with his remaining strength and entered quietly to not wake the kids. He put them to bed early so he would be able to finish his business before it was time to train. Kuroko was able to rest for a few hours before he got up again and went to meet Shigetsu.
Kamiko got up and rubbed her eyes. Her stomach growled softly and she got up and climbed off of the bed using her little stool. Kamiko knew where her snacks were and she knew she could reach them on her own so she didn't try to wake Kuroko up, who was supposed to be asleep on the other side of the bed, near Rima and Taiga. As she made her way to the kitchen, she tripped over something in the hallway by the door.
"Itai! Who left their toy here?" Kamiko said as she got up and looked behind her to see the toy she tripped over.
"Eh?" Kamiko crawled over to the thing she had tripped over. It was definitely not a toy.
"Nii-chan? What are you doing sleeping on the floor?" She shook him gently but he didn't move.
"Nii-chan? Nii-chan! Are you okay? Nii-chan!" Kamiko shook and hit Kuroko with all of her strength but he didn't wake up. She saw sweat on his face and his breathing was ragged.
Kamiko's anxious cries woke the other kids who came out. Kyo turned on the light to see what was going on because everyone was awake already.
"What's wrong Kamiko-chan?" Ami called as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. The other kids were still coming out from the bedroom.
"Some *hic*thing ha *hic* appened t-to Nii-chan! I th-think he's dying! I d-don't know
wh-*hic*-at to do! Nii-chan won't wake up! Someone help!" Kamiko was full on crying now. She tried to keep the tears in but as she said the words to her siblings, the tears wouldn't stay back anymore. The sound of little feet running echoed through the house along with the sound of crying.
Nigou woke up because of the commotion and ran over to his master. He nudged the boy's hands with his soft nose and began whimpering when Kuroko didn't react like normal. Nigou curled up next to Kuroko and nuzzled into his side.
"What! Nii-chan is dying?!" Aoi screamed and ran ahead to where Kamiko was. He saw Kamiko crying next to Kuroko who was lying on his stomach and his face paled. His little heart pounded in his chest and he fell. Tears formed in his eyes and were uncontrollably streaming down his face. Everyone else managed to catch up a few seconds later and all burst out crying.
"WHAT DO WE DO?! I DON'T WANT NII-CHAN TO DIE!" Rima cried and hugged Kamiko.
"WE HAVE TO GET HELP!" Kyo said frantically while shaking Kuroko.
"NII-CHAN NOO! DON"T LEAVE US!" Ami cried.
"UWAAA WAHHH UGH UWAAA! NII-CHAN!" Tsukimo was crying her heart and lungs out. She hugged her knees to her chest and cried.
"I'm scared Nii-chan….Nii-chan….I don't want to be alone….Nii-chan," Sion cried quietly to himself.
Taiga was too shocked and stunned to cry. He stood there, among his sibling who were panicking. The world seemed out of touch, it was all becoming blurry and unfocused. Flashes of random memories floated by in his vision. Most of them were of his family. Then the more recent ones came into view. Kuroko's promise to find their parents, his arms holding Taiga and comforting him when they were taken, Kuroko introducing Nigou and Kagami to them…KAGAMI!
"We need to call Kagami-nii! Hurry! He'll know how to save nii-chan!" Taigi jolted from his trance and wiped the tears from his eyes, and took off into the bedroom.
"What? What did Taiga say?" Aoi said, vaguely hearing the other boy before he saw him run off.
"KAGA-NII! Taiga said we should call Kaga-nii!" Kyo said again, this time making sure they all heard. They all turned as they heard the pounding of feet again and Taiga appeared. He held Kuroko's light-blue cellphone in his hand and stopped. He had his free hand on his knee steadying him as he took deep breathes. After a few seconds he said,
"Who knows Kaga-nii's phone number?"
Silence.
"What do we do?! We don't know his number!" Rima began crying again.
"Look through the thing that Nii-chan called 'contacts'! It's the book picture! It might have Kaga-nii's number saved in it!" Sion got up from where he was sitting and went over to Taiga and watch the little boy try to navigate the phone. After a while, Sion just took it from him and found the icon and opened it.
"Do you know how to read the things?" Sion asked. Everyone shook their heads no. Just then, Aoi who was standing behind the duo to see what was going on saw a tiger emoji next to one of the names that he couldn't read and decided to reach over his brothers and call that number.
"Hey! What did you do?!" Sion yelled.
"It had a tiger emoji so it must be Kaga-nii! I clicked it so we could call," Aoi said. Sion was about to yell again when a gruff voice spoke from the phone.
"Oi Kuroko, do you know what time it is!? It's freakin' 3 in the morning!" Kagami said. He heard silence on the other end and got irritated.
"OI! Don't just call me for nothing Kuroko! I'm hanging up!" Kagami was about to push the end call button when he heard voices call out.
"WAIT! NO KAGA-NII! IT'S ME SION!"
"What? Sion? Why are you calling me?"
"KAGAMI-NII! HELP! NII-CHAN IS DYING!" Kamiko yanked the phone from Sion's hands and yelled impatiently into the phone.
"WHAT?" Kagami shot up out of bed and immediately began pulling on some clothes.
"Kaga-nii you have to come save Nii-chan! Please! We don't want him to die!" Aoi pleaded before the others grabbed the phone and Nigou's barks could also be heard on the other side.
Not even 10 minutes had passed before they heard the door open, Kagami had come in with the spare key Kuroko had given him. Rima, Kyo, Ami, and Sion rushed out to drag Kagami in to where Kuroko lay.
As soon as Kagami saw the pale blue headed boy he ran and scooped him up in his arms and carried him to his own bed in the separate room. Kagami gently lay Kuroko down and brushed back his bangs to check his forehead. It was burning up. Kagami saw that Kuroko's clothes were soaked through with sweat and decided to change him. When the kids saw Kagami taking off Kuroko's shirt they all began screaming and panicking.
"What are you doing to Nii-chan!?" Rima ran up and started pounding on Kagami's back, trying to make him put Kuroko's shirt back on.
"He's going to freeze and become a Nii-chan Popsicle! Stop it! Put Nii-chan's clothes back on!" Aoi said and tried to force the shirt back onto Kuroko but Kagami held it up.
"Wait! Calm down! I have to change Kuroko's shirt! He has a fever and sweated through it! If we let him wear it he won't get better!"
The kids stopped protesting and sheepishly backed off and let Kagami do his task. Once Kuroko was redressed, Kagami went into the kitchen and found the fever reducer and dissolved it in water to help Kuroko swallow. The kids watched as Kagami held Kuroko up and propped him against his chest to feed him the medicine. They all sighed in relief when Kuroko's breathing became easier and his face wasn't as deathly pale.
Kagami decided to put all of the kids to bed before going back to Kuroko's room to keep an eye on him.
Kagami watched the other male sleep. Kagami wasn't a doctor or physician but he knew the signs of a body breaking down. He had seen it so many times before from the basketball players he had played with and against when he was in America and this was exactly what was happening to Kuroko.
"I never knew that it was this difficult. Sure Kuroko has weak stamina and a small build but to break down this much? Kuroko had a weaker institution than I had initially knew. I have to get him healed up or the damage is going to be permanent," Kagami thought.
PART 2:
Kuroko woke up and felt something warm and heavy on his stomach. He lifted his head and winced when pain flared in his neck and shoulder but he ignored it. He saw a slightly tanned hand resting on his stomach and his eyes trailed down the arm and he saw the rest of Kagami. Kuroko was confused why Kagami was sleeping next to his bed in a chair and why he was in his room instead of the master bedroom.
He thought back to the night before and recalled taking care of the threat, coming back home and sleeping for a couple hours, then going to training, coming back home, and putting away his bag. The memories stopped there, he had no recollection of what had happened after he had changed. Kuroko glanced over at the clock on his wall and saw that it was still pretty early and decided to indulge himself for the day and sleep. Not that he could've moved any of his body parts without intense soreness and pain shooting through all of his limbs.
"Kaga-nii~~"
"Kaga-nii~~~~~~!"
"Kagami-nii wake up~~!"
"Bakagami-nii! I'm hungry! Wake up!"
Kagami woke up to voices whining in his ear and someone shaking his shoulders. Suddenly his hair was yanked up and he shot up from the chair.
"Ouch! Who did that?!" Kagami looked around and found the kids standing beside the chair he was sitting in. There was a triumphant grin on Kyo's face.
"Kyo! Why you! What did you do that for?!" Kagami growled, not too loudly though since Kuroko was still sleeping in the bed.
"We're hungry and when we called you, you wouldn't wake up so I pulled you hair," Kyo said in his defense.
"Ugh alright, just wait while I wash up. Did you all brush your teeth and wash up yet?" Kagami said.
"Yup," they all answered.
"Well, do something about your bed head then! It looks as bad as Kuroko's!" Kagami chuckled as he looked over the kids.
"All of you!" Kagami amended when he noticed that ALL of the kids had bed head.
"Seriously! What is with the bed head! Does every member of the Kuroko family have it?" Kagami thought as he brushed his teeth and laughed when he imagined all of the kids and Kuroko in the morning.
They would all line up in front of the sink with their tooth brushes in their mouths and their hair sticking out all over the place. They would be all synchronized when trying to tame the awkward pieces and they would all whine and eventually Kuroko would be the one to brush out all of their hairs.
Kagami wiped his face on the towel and left the bathroom and headed to the kitchen where the kids were seated down at the table eagerly waiting for breakfast.
"Alright, are pancakes okay with you?" Kagami asked.
"Yup! Make them fast okay Kaga-nii! I'm super hungry!" Kamiko called from her seat and banged her fork for emphasis. The others nodded and banged their utensils in agreement.
Kagami decided to make mini pancakes instead of the full sized ones for the kids. Once he passed them out he went back to the stove and opened another pack of mix and made himself a stack of 18 mega sized pancakes. Kagami poured out dog food for Nigou before settling himself down at the table with the kids and Nigou barked happily in appreciation.
"WOW! Das a lot uh pancakesh Kaga-nii! Can you weally eat all of 'em?" Aoi asked in amazement with his mouth stuffed with the fluffy and sweet breakfast.
Kagami was in the middle of stuffing his face and chewing the 5 pancakes that were already in his mouth when Aoi asked so he had to try and chew and swallow but ended up choking.
"*cough cough* Of course! I'm still growing after all!" Kagami said and resumed eating. Once they were all finished Kagami washed the dishes while the kids filed out into the living room.
Kagami walked out to see the kids still trying to tame their bed head at various spots around the living room. He sighed with a troubled expression, ruffling his hair to get rid of the hesitant uncertainty he felt about approaching the kids and went to sit on the couch. After calming his nerves and getting over the fear of being totally rejected he called the kids over.
"Come here, I'll comb it out for you," Kagami pat the spot on his lap and Rima being the closest climbed onto his lap and handed him the comb.
Kagami was shocked at how easily the little girl approached him. Sure, the other times they didn't run away from him but that was when Kuroko was still with him and the second time, the GoM was there so they didn't really pay attention to him, but now he was alone with them. In all of his tanned split eye browed scowling glory. Kagami felt a small warmth bloom inside him. For the first time, little kids didn't scream and cry at his face. (lol I wonder how many times that has happened)
Kagami tried his ultimate best to be gentle when brushing Rima's hair and soon after the tangles her out, he was able to brush it to the point of fluffy softness. He actually enjoyed brushing her hair.
Rima almost fell asleep again while Kagami was brushing her hair. His warm hands slightly massaged her head while he stroked it and brushed it, it made her feel really happy and relaxed. The brushing suddenly stopped right before she was about to fall asleep so she woke up again.
"Wah! My hair is so soft now Kaga-nii! It felt super nice when you brushed my hair! Can you do it again sometime?" Rima asked while running her little hands through her hair and smiled up at Kagami.
"Uh, sure," Kagami replied. He smiled at the compliment.
"My turn! Make my hair pretty too Kaga-nii! Please," Ami said while hold out her comb to Kagami. He picked her up and set he down on his lap and began brushing her hair like he did to Rima and the same thing happened except Ami actually nodded off and fell back against his chest.
After Kagami set Ami down next to him on the couch, he turned back to find that Kamiko had climbed onto his lap this time and silently handed him her comb. She gave him and smile and turned back around, gesturing that he brush her hair. Kamiko made little purring sounds like a cat when he brushed her hair.
"PFFT. Heh. She's just like a small animal," Kagami finished with the girls and looked to see the boys hesitant to approach him. They all looked torn between their manly pride of doing things themselves but they also wanted to have their hair brushed because that's eventually what happened with Kuroko daily anyways.
In the end they gave in and got their hair brushed. Aoi slightly drooled on Kagami's knee when it was his turn.
"Ahahahahaha Aoi you look like Nigou!" Kyo laughed at his brother but did the exact same thing when he got his hair brushed out.
Taiga was the other one that fell asleep when he got his hair brushed and didn't wake up again until Nigou licked his face and covered it in dog saliva.
Sion was in an even happier mood than normal but wondered how a scary looking tiger like Kagami could be so gentle. Eh, this is one of those things that he didn't really care how it happened but just accepted it.
When Kagami opened the door to check if Kuroko was still asleep, he was surprised to find that the boy was on his phone and had just closed it.
"Oh you're awake Kuroko. What were you doing? Messaging someone?" Kagami asked as he took a seat in the chair next to the bed.
"Good morning Kagami-kun. Yes, I was just taking care of some business. So how did you come to be sleeping next to my bed?" Kuroko questioned.
"Well, I got a call at 3 in the morning from the brats screaming that you were dying on the floor so I came over. By the way, how are you feeling? You had a really bad fever last night," Kagami reached over to place his hand on Kuroko's forehead.
"I feel normal I guess," Kuroko said. Silence filled the room.
Kagami sighed deeply and turned to look at Kuroko.
"I don't know if you know this or not but, you are in really bad condition. Like REALLY BAD. Your muscles are strained and it's beginning to break down. What have you been doing?"
"Nothing much, just the usual, except no basketball practice," Kuroko sighed with sadness evident in his voice. Kagami looked skeptical but didn't ask questions.
Kuroko tried sitting up but he fell back onto the pillow heavily once his weight shifted onto his arms and shoulders. Kuroko huffed in frustration, he wanted to get out of bed and wash up to eat breakfast but his body wasn't doing what it was supposed to. He tried again but got the same
result.
"Kuroko! You need to stay in bed and rest for at least two weeks! If you don't, the damage will be permanent! Don't you think about moving! I've decided to stay here until I have deemed you perfect in health!" Kagami gave him a stern look.
"Kagami-kun, I have to go wash up, I can't stand the taste in my mouth and I'm hungry,"
Kuroko gave a pleading look, although the only thing that changed from the blank face was the slightest protruding of the pale boy's lower lip. To Kagami, it looked like he was doing his best to be kawaii and had sparkles in his eyes, he couldn't stand against that! Kagami felt his cheeks heating up slightly at the cute pout and sighed internally.
"Alright already! Stop looking at me with that face!" Kagami got up and leaned down to pick up Kuroko in a princess carry and took him to the bathroom.
"What are you doing Kagami-kun?" Kuroko's voice sounded the slightest bit surprised at his partner's sudden action.
"I'm carrying you to the bathroom obviously,"
"But why? I can probably walk on my own, I just had a little trouble sitting up. You're over reacting Kagami-kun,"
Kagami grunted in slight irritation that Kuroko doesn't understand just how bad his condition is, before he gave his reply.
"I'm here to make sure you get back in tiptop shape. That means keeping you from unnecessarily moving your body. I'm gonna carry you around from now on. NO BUTS,"
Kagami set Kuroko down on the sink counter and began brushing Kuroko's teeth for him although the blue-haired boy stared him down with a disapproving look the entire time. He took no note of it. Once they were finished, that included washing Kuroko's face and brushing out his hair, Kagami took Kuroko back to the room and helped him change into comfortable day clothes. They didn't feel awkward, well Kuroko didn't for the majority, because they were used to changing together at practice.
Kuroko was relieved when Kagami hadn't noticed the faint bruises he had gotten from training while he changed him and hoped that he would soon regain the use of his arms without pain so he could put on the fade medication to keep them from becoming noticeable.
Kagami placed Kuroko down on the couch and went into the kitchen to make more pancakes this time, adding a bit of vanilla extract to the batter.
"Good morning nii-chan!"
"Morning nii-chan!"
"You woke up!"
"How are you feeling nii-chan?"
"Are you okay now?"
"You aren't dying right nii-chan?"
"Are you sick nii-chan?"
"Do you feel better yet?"
The 8 little sibling rushed up to Kuroko and bombarded him with greetings and questions.
Kuroko gave them a warm smile and slowly nodded.
"Nii-chan is okay now, don't worry. I'm sorry that I scared you like that. But nii-chan is a bit sick so Kagami-nii will be staying over to take care of me, is that alright with you?"
"Really?! Yay! Kaga-nii is gonna play with us every day!" Rima cheered.
"Does this mean we don't have to go to daycare?" Kyo asked hopefully.
"Yes, nii-chan will be staying home so you don't need to go," Kuroko replied
"YAY!" all of the kids cheered and yelled happily.
Kagami finished the pancake and took a seat next to Kuroko, after breaking off a small piece, he held it to Kuroko's mouth.
Once the light vanilla flavored pancake touched Kuroko's tongue it spread around his mouth and Kuroko smiled in bliss. Too fast the first bite was gone and he eagerly opened his mouth to be fed again and Kagami chuckled.
At that time from various places in japan, 6 people felt a sudden tremor in their bodies. "My Tetsuya/Kuro-chin/Kurokocchi/Kuroko/Tetsu/Tetsuya-kun is-doing-something-super-adorable sense is tingling!" they all thought at the same time. Being as occupied as they were, they were unable to rush over to Kuroko and see the spectacular occurrence, to their disappointment.
"Oh right, should probably call the school and let them know you will be absent for now, and I'll be absent for today. Ugh, I don't even want to think about what Coach is gonna make me go through for missing practice again," Kagami gave an involuntary shiver.
While Kagami washed the dishes and made the call, Kuroko dug out his own phone and began a message,
To: Shigetsu
Subject: Leaving off from before
It seems that Kagami has decided to stay over after all so I won't be able to go to training until I am healed. Not that I would be able to move anyways. Please bring the soup grandpa makes soon. And I want you to look into XX clan, it seems their underlings are getting out of line. I had to take care of a particularly nosy one recently. Make sure they know their place.
END
To: Young Master Tetsuya
Subject: Understood
I should have given you the soup earlier, this would not have happened if you had taken it prior but I will make sure to bring it as soon as possible. I will make sure that they do not get out of line again.
END
Shigetsu shut his phone after he sent the message, his mind was preoccupied with the name of the clan Kuroko had told him to watch. It sounded so familiar but he couldn't quite remember where he had heard or seen it before. Shigetsu went back to his room to try and figure out which clan had dared to approach the Shadow.
Kuroko got comfortable in the couch since he wouldn't be moving much for a while and called out, "Taiga, Taiga come here,"
Kagami blushed when he heard his name come out of the bluenette's mouth and tried to compose himself before going over to Kuroko.
"What is it Kuroko?"
"Ah, I was calling Taiga, not you Kagami-kun. I forgot that you had the same name. I apologize, I'll be sure to differentiate next time," Kuroko said to the taller male.
Kagami felt slightly disappointed that Kuroko hadn't been calling him by his name and sat back down at the end of the couch on the floor and resumed reading Basketball Monthly.
Mini-Taiga climbed onto the couch and asked his nii-chan, "Yes, what did you want me to do nii-chan?"
"Do you want to read a book with me? We can finish that adventure book from last time now,"
"Okay!" Mini-Taiga ran off to the book case and grabbed the book Kuroko was talking about and went back to sit next to his nii-chan while he read to him.
The rest of the day passed by leisurely and Kagami left briefly in the afternoon to go pack his clothes and things for his stay.
Ending Note: I hope it was to your liking! Ehehe, KagaKuro fluff ^w^ Don't worry, fluff for other ships will come in the later chapters! Thank you for reading!
