Credit to: ME! Yay! I finally finished the drawing of Yakuza Kuroko! Sorry, it's really awkward so maybe look at it from a couple feet away? Half is drawn and colored by hand, the other half was done on paint so it's weird and stuff. Please don't mind it too much.
Chapter 8:
"Kagami-kun lets go to the park," Kagami heard Kuroko say from his spot on the couch. Kuroko was fidgeting and squirming still on the couch as he said it.
"Why? You need as much rest as possible! It's only been two days," Kagami went back to reading Basketball Monthly.
"It's because it's been two days. I want to get out and breathe fresh air and move around for a bit. We are going as soon as the kids wake up from their nap," Kuroko's voice bore no argument and Kagami could only sigh in resignation when his partner got like that. He knew it would be of no use to try and argue when he was that fidgety.
"Hey Kaga-nii, Nii-chan," Sion said as he came out from the master bedroom. He went over to Kuroko and sat next to him on the couch.
"Hm," was all Kagami said, he was still engrossed in his magazine.
"Good afternoon Sion. Did you take a good nap?" Kuroko asked the boy.
"Yeah. Hey nii-chan, will you play shogi with me? I want to practice so I can be ready the next time Akashi nii-san comes over to play," Sion said.
"Akashi-kun lives very far away so he can't come very often but nii-chan will play with you anyway," Kuroko slowly got down from the couch as to not put excess strain on his muscles and moved to when Sion had set up the shogi board.
"Hmmm," while Sion was thinking about his next move, everyone else besides Kyo and Aoi woke up and come into the living room.
"Kaga-nii, I'm hungry. What are we eating for snack?" Kamiko said asked Kagami who had put down his magazine and was stretching.
"Hm, I don't know. Hey Kuroko, are we going to eat out when we head to the park or are we going to eat at home first?" Kagami called to the blunnette.
"We'll get something from the vendor at the park. Hey go wake up Aoi and Kyo, we are going to the park," Kuroko said. Ami ran off first and burst into the room. Shocking the two sleepy heads awake. The three came out and were able to catch what Rima was saying.
"But aren't you sick Tet nii-chan? Is this really okay?" there was a worried quiver in Rima's voice as she asked Kuroko.
"Yeah. I'm fine enough now that I need to go outside. It's so stuffy and boring sitting in the house all day," Kuroko sighed and pat Rima's head gently to reassure her.
"Really? Okay!" Rima ran off to put away her toys and coloring book along with Kamiko and Tsukimo who were listening in.
"Push me higher Kaga-nii! I want to go higher!" Ami laughed when Kagami gave her an extra strong push on the swings and sent her as high as she could go.
"Nii-chan! Look at me!" Kyo was standing on the rocking horse and waving at Kuroko who was watching the group.
"Look at me too nii-chan! I can stand up too!" Aoi was imitating Kyo on his own horse and soon Taiga and Sion were doing it too. Taiga beamed with pride when he stood up and began waving at Kuroko.
"Don't stand up you guys! It's dangerous!" Kuroko got up from his seat slowly and tried to make his way over to the rocking horses. Kyo, Aoi, Taiga and Sion all jumped down and ran to Kuroko.
"Uwah! What are you doing? Where are we going?" Kuroko exclaimed as he was pushed and dragged toward the toy. The four put Kuroko on the rocking horse and began pushing him back and forth.
"Pftt HAHAHAHAHA! Kuroko! You look exactly like a kid riding that! Not out of place at all! Hahahah!" Kagami laughed when he saw his partner being pushed on the children's ride by his younger siblings who seemed to be enjoying it as much as Kagami himself was.
"Are you having fun now nii-chan?" Kyo asked in anticipation while giving Kuroko another shove. Taiga, Aoi and Sion were looking expectantly at him for an answer too. Kuroko sighed then looked down at his cute brothers.
"Yeah I am, thank you for trying to make me have fun too but don't worry about it. Just go and play, okay?" Kuroko said and put his foot down to stop the rocking motion. He pat Aoi's head and ruffled Taiga's hair and went back to the bench he was sitting at to watch. Kagami got tired and the girls had decided to go play on the playground with the boys, so he went to sit down by Kuroko.
"How are you feeling?" Kagami gave Kuroko a side-glance while facing up at the sky.
"Much better, thank you for asking Kagami-kun," Kuroko also looked up at the sky and closed his eyes while feeling the breeze brush across his face.
The two enjoyed the short moment of peace together before it was shattered by 8 little munchkins demanding they go for ice cream.
"Nii-chan I'm hungry! I want ice cream now, can we go get it?" Kamiko said while pulling on his sleeve, drool slightly dripping from the corner of her mouth. Kuroko wasn't moving fast enough so Tsukimo and Ami jumped in to help pull Kuroko up too.
"Ugh! You are taking too long nii-chan! I'm hungry! Kaga-nii! Give nii-chan a piggy back ride so we can go get ice cream faster!" Rima became tired of waiting (it was only a minute since she got there) so she yelled at Kagami and stomped her foot impatiently. The red head looked over at his partner for his answer to the demand.
"No Kagami-kun, I can walk by myself. I refuse to be treated like a helpless child anymore," Kuroko's monotone voice became even more monotone and even slightly indignant as he walked slowly away from the bench.
"Good idea Rima! Kaga-nii hurry up and pick nii-chan up! We need to go get ice cream!" Aoi said. He grabbed Kagami's hand and pulled him toward Kuroko with Kyo and Sion pushing from the back, who was a couple feet in front of them because of his head start.
"No Kagami-kun," Kuroko said when he turned around and saw Kagami looking at the kids' pleading faces.
Kagami couldn't take it anymore, the eyes were burning into his soul and their tiny fingers tightened their grip on his hands. He looked back at Kuroko but the look in his eye wasn't as intense as the 8 pairs trained on him from the chibis.
"Okay okay fine! Sheesh!" Kagami said and crouched down in front of Kuroko. Taiga had to stand behind him and shove Kuroko bit before he finally resigned to being carried. The kids took off down the side walk towards the ice cream stand and were all yelling happily while Kagami and Kuroko followed behind.
Kuroko sulked quietly and refused to look Kagami in the eye. His gaze was trained ahead where the kids were. As they were getting closer to the vendor, the duo passed a pair of whispering ladies.
"Oh dear! Did you see that ruffian? I bet that he is part of some gang! Filthy street thug,"
"He looked so scary! The way he glared at us when we walked by, it gave me chills!"
"A rebel? They now dare to intimidate the civilians this deep into clan territory? Seems that the clans are getting arrogant. I guess it's time to show my face again," Kuroko thought. When they eventually made it to the ice cream stand the 8 children were already deciding flavors.
"Nii-chan can I have two scoops?" Kamiko asks.
"Sure, if you can eat it all," Kuroko said and gave her a soft pat on the head.
"Nii-chan I want two scoops too! Is that okay? If I eat a lot of ice cream I'll grow up big and tall like Kaga-nii!" Taiga says.
"Not like nii-chan?" Kuroko asked, feeling a bit jealous.
"Well, Kaga-nii is bigger so I want to be like him! But I still like you the best Nii-chan!" Taiga said a bit sheepishly.
"Hmph, I see. Then Kaga-nii will pay for your ice cream," Kuroko said and deadpanned at Kagami who was chuckling.
"Nii-chan I wat two scoops of strawberry ice cream! It's my most favoritest!" Ami said with sparkles in her eyes.
"Sure thing Ami," Kuroko said with a small smile. When Ami got her ice cream she was so xcited and engrossed she didn't hear anything else.
After everyone had gotten their ice cream Sion had a sudden urge to race his siblings back to the park. He gave a mischievous smirk as he slowly made his way ahead while the others focused on their ice cream. When he came into the lead he turned around and called out,
"Race you back to the park! First one there gets to ride the rocking horse (Jean Cx) first!"
"What!? Hey no fair!" Taiga being the closest to Sion started running and stuffing his face with ice cream to catch up and the others followed suit.
Ami was entranced by her ice cream and hadn't gotten the message. She looked up to see that all of her siblings had disappeared and crowds of people had entered the park. She wandered around trying to find her nii-chan, Kaga-nii or her siblings.
"Nii-chan? Kaga-nii? Tsukimo? Kamiko? Kyo? Where did everyone go?" She said as she teared up slightly.
As she was tried to avoid being trampled, she suddenly bumped into someone and dropped her half melted ice cream onto them.
"Kya! My strawberry ice cream! Uh-uh uwaaaaaa!" Ami started crying and the tears flooded out from her eyes.
"What the heck! This brat got my designer pants dirty! Hey brat! How are you gonna repay me huh! Look at the mess you made! Are you listening to me!?" yelled the thug that Ami had bumped into.
Ami's cries drowned out all other sounds and she didn't hear him yelling at her. The passerby tried to ignore it because they feared the thug/yakuza. No one tried to stop them.
"Hey aniki, I don't think she heard you," his thug friend told him. Thug 1 glared down at Ami and poked her harshly in the forehead causing her to fall back onto her bottom. The shock made her stop crying for a moment. The three thugs took that pause and menacingly leaned down and intimidated her.
"So, what are you gonna do about this brat?"
Seeing the faces up close made Ami scream and burst into tears again, this time loud enough for Kuroko and Kagami who were just walking back from the stand.
"That sounds like Ami. She's in trouble. Kagami-kun let me down," Kuroko started struggling from his partner's grasp.
"Eh? What Kuroko? Wait! Don't go running off on your own again! You are still injured! I'll go with you! Oi Kuroko! Are you even listening to me?" Kagami tried to tighten his hold on Kuroko's legs but he was holding two ice cream cones so that made it difficult. Kuroko managed to slip off and was now standing next to him.
"Kagami-kun, go find the others and wait for me at the park. I'm going to find Ami, she probably got lost somehow," Kuroko commanded Kagami. The look in his eye bore no acceptance of a refusal so Kagami did as he was told and made his way toward the park again. He tried to keep an eye on Kuroko but as soon as he blinked, the other had disappeared.
"NII-CHAN! Nii-chan come save me! There's a scary bad guy! Nii-chan!" Ami cried louder and this increasingly annoyed the three thugs. The one Ami had dropped her ice cream on was just about to grab her head when he was sent flying backwards. There was a loud thug and clang when he hit the lamp post a few feet away. Everyone looked at the injured man in shocked silence. No one moved a muscle until they heard him groan in pain and cough.
His companions slowly turned back to see what had caused the phenomenon but were stopped in their tracks by simultaneous kicks to their sides.
Kuroko landed on his two feet and stood protectively in front of Ami. Once he saw that they were down for the moment he turned back and kneeled down in front of her.
Ami stopped crying and wiped her eyes. She looked up and saw her beloved Nii-chan smiling at her and he held his arms open. She smiled and ran to embrace him.
"It's all right now Ami. Nii-chan will protect you from the bad guys," Kuroko squeezed her gently and then let her go. The onlookers were distracted by the three men who had just been taken down to notice the exchange between the two.
He looked back at the three writhing in pain. Kuroko turned back to tell Ami to go back to the park and find Kagami when he noticed a flash of red pushing through the crowd that had gathered. Kagami halted at the edge of the crowd and noticed Kuroko looking at him. He made his way to him and gave Kuroko a questioning look while glancing at the three on the ground.
"I'll tell you later. For now, take Ami away and keep the kids far from here while I deal with the monsters that had tried to harm my family," Kuroko gave Ami's hand to Kagami and growled the last part.
Kagami, not knowing what to do or say, just nodded and led the small girl back towards her siblings.
Kuroko turned away from Kagami and Ami and walked towards the two closest lackeys who were just starting to get back up after his kick. He activated his misdirection and disappeared from sight. They next thing that anyone saw was one of the two standing up being slammed back down into the ground.
Kuroko had drop-kicked him with such anger and force that would even put Eren Jaeger to shame. The pavement bricks shifted when the body hit it. In a split second Kuroko had sandwiched the other guy in a painful blow from his elbow and a knee to his stomach. Kuroko felt a few ribs break. Kuroko dropped the guy in his grasps like a dead weight. The crowd could hear the crunch as Kuroko's fist collided with his nose. The body skid back and landed next to the first thug by the lamp post. Blood pooled around him from his nose and mouth. Kuroko pulled the other one up into his knees and round-house kicked him so hard he flew into the bushes nearby.
Kagami heard the crowd collectively gasp in horror turned to see bloodied bodies in the distance. He shivered and refocused his attention on distracting the kids from the violence that was taking place some distance away. It was becoming increasingly difficult as each child finished their ice cream and had begun to wonder where their beloved nii-chan was. Kagami bought another few minutes with the excuse that Kuroko had went to the bathroom. He had also gotten Ami another ice cream to calm her down. It didn't stop the kids from asking what had happened though so eventually they knew everything.
Even after this beating, Kuroko was not finished. NO ONE dares to try and hurt his family and get away unbroken. He grabbed the man in the bush by his hair and flung him next to the others. Kuroko had reappeared in front of the guy cowering in fear at the lamp post. He had just seen his friends beaten to a pulp by some unknown force and he knew it was coming for him next. Right as he finished the thought, he saw the flash of a person before his vision and senses were blacked out by pain.
Kuroko upper-cut the first thug with his knee and went on a rampage. He slugged him across the face multiple times and his knuckles became bruised, cut, and bloody but he didn't care. He dropped him groaning onto the ground and was about to smash his face into the pavement when two strong arms encircled his torso and gave him a firm hug. A familar rough voice whispered in his ear,
"Kuroko, that's enough. You shouldn't become a criminal because of these dirtbags," Kagami said. Kuroko relaxed slightly at Kagami's voice and he unclenched his fists slightly. Kuroko and Kagami stood there for a few moment to try and calm down. Kagami's scent filled Kuroko's nose, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The scent helped him return to his stable state of mind and he was able to regain his composure. Kuroko turned to glare at the three bloodied, beaten men and felt rage flare again and his muscles tensed but it dissipated with a gentle squeeze from Kagami.
Kuroko broke out from Kagami's embrace but still kept a hold on his hand to keep them both out of sight with the misdirection. He made his way to the leader of the group and bent down to flip him over to examine his face. After a few seconds Kuroko abruptly dropped him and pulled Kagami away from the scene. The spectators were left in confusion when the beating suddenly stopped. They all looked around to identify who had saved the little girl and had given the thugs such a violent beating but no one was able to see anything and eventually everyone left. No one had called for an ambulance since they had neither reason nor an explanation for this incident.
As soon as they had left the crowd, Kuroko collapsed against Kagami. The misdirection faded and the two were visible to everyone again. Nigou spotted his master and ran towards Kuroko and Kagami, causing the children to follow after him. Ami was the first after Nigou to reach them and she latched herself onto Kuroko immediately.
"Are you okay Nii-chan!? Did they hurt you?" Ami asked while almost at tears again . Before Kuroko could steady his breath and reply, Aoi and Kyo came yelling,
"YAY GO NII-CHAN! YOU BEAT UP ALL OF THE BAD GUYS! HOORAY!" The two came to a halt in front of him and each beamed an endearing smile at him.
"Hah, yeah," Kuroko sighed before he passed out in Kagami's arms.
"Eh? Kuroko?! Hey!" Kagami shook him but he didn't answer so Kagami changed his hold into a princess carry.
"Is Nii-chan okay!?"
"What happened!?"
"EH?! Nii-chan!"
"Did nii-chan get hurt?!"
"Nii-chan, Nii-chan!"
"Come on everyone! We can go beat up the bad guys too! How dare they hurt nii-chan!"
"Hold on! He's probably just really tired! Don't go off on your own! We should probably get to the hospital first before we do anything else," Kagami said to the kids.
"No..Don't go… to the… hospital. Need to stay….with the kids…huff.." Kuroko gasped before he became unconscious again.
"Huh? Kuroko!? Wait! Kuroko! What do you mean we can't go to the hospital! You need serious help! Kuroko!" Kagami yelled at him but Kuroko only muttered a single word.
"Please,"
"Argh! Gosh dang it Kuroko!" Kagami yelled before he started on his way back to the apartment.
"Hey, come on, let's go home. We have to take care of your nii-chan," Kagami called to the kids. They all yelled 'okay' and followed him.
"I never thought that Kuroko would be able to become so violent and strong like that. Could he have been a delinquent when he was younger? Wait, no that's impossible. He's been playing basketball since forever. I guess that the will to protect your family gives you unimaginable strength too," Kagami thought and smiled.
"Good job Kuroko," he said to his unconscious partner. They kids happened to hear it so they all echoed him.
"Good job nii-chan!"
"Kumicho, it seems that the Shadow heir has become active despite the threats anonymously sent to the clan. What do we do?"
"Spread the news around the underworld. This is getting dangerous, I never would've thought that he would be that gutsy, despite the fact we hold his parents. All the rebel clans must be on guard for now. We don't know if it was a reminder of the strength of the Kuroko clan, or if it was merely a coincidence,"
