Previous Chapter

"There's a boy there." Satsuki pointed to the small patch of grass.

"I don't see anything."

"He's over there!" Satsuki ran over to the boy lying on the grass. She turned him over and saw his a boy lying there with pain evident on his face. "Poor thing! What has he been through."

The Dai-chan finally took notice of a boy in Satsuki's arms and was very suspicious.

"Where did this boy come from?" Dai-chan asked.

"I don't know, but we are taking him back to the palace to help him." Satsuki answered back.

"What if he is form enemy territory or a spy." He questioned her.

"Too bad, I want him treated. Let's head back to the estate."

Chapter 2

Kuroko slowly opened his eyes and he looked around the place he was in. He stared up at the ceiling and saw colorful designs going across. He lifted his hands and got into contact with something, it was soft. He then squeezed over and over again until he took his hands off and sat up while looking at his hand. He looked up and came face to face with a dark blue haired male and a blushing pink haired girl covering her chest. Kuroko then looked back down at his hands and asked the question that was in his head.

"Was I touching your chest?" Kuroko bluntly said while making squeezing motions with his hands.

"Hai," The pink haired girl was blushing even more and had tears of embarrassment.

"Ah, I see…I'm sorry." Kuroko bowed with his head.

"I-it's ok." The pink haired girl kindly bowed back.

"Oi, Oi, Satsuki, I hope you're not just accepting his apologies like that." The dark blue haired male questioned with an anger obviously in his voice.

"Ah, I'm sorry was that your girlfriend?" Kuroko looked at the dark blue haired male with apologies written on his face.

"N-no! Of course not! He's only my childhood friend!" Screamed the pink haired girl named Satsuki.

Kuroko looked at the dark blue haired male. "I'm sorry buddy, but you just got yourself friend zoned." As he patted the male's back with his hands.

"I wouldn't care! Who would date that girl! She's annoying!" The dark blue haired male yelled out in anger.

The pink haired girl scoffed and started yelling and the dark blue haired male and that went on for quite a while. Finally their arguments ended and focused their attention back onto the guest who was Kuroko.

"So, what's your name and why were you out on that patch of grass?" Satsuki asked.

"Well my name is Kuroko Tetsuya and I am a traveler I found myself running away from these bad guys..." Kuroko paused for a minute and his eyes widened in realization.

"Shige-kun!" Kuroko tried to get out of bed but his legs couldn't carry his weight and fell down towards a pair of arms.

"Woah!" The dark blue haired guy caught him and lifted him up and back onto the bed.

"Are you ok?" Satsuki laid her hand on Kuroko's shoulder.

"My friend…was taken and," Kuroko stopped and started to tear up and put his hands up to his face.

"Your friend was taken? Do you know who?" Aomine asked again.

"He was taken by a stupid general." He sobbed and as he wiped away his tears, he looked up with certainty. "I will get him back!" Kuroko tried to get up again but he lost his footing and fell back into Aomine's arms.

"You need to rest some more, sleep and catch up your strength and…" Kuroko shook his head.

"No, I need to go save Shige-kun." Kuroko finished.

"No, you need to rest." Aomine said while pushing Kuroko to lay down on the bed.

"I need to save Shige-kun." Kuroko said with pleading eyes.As he tried to get up again, Aomine pushed him back down onto the bed held him on the bed.

Aomine looked at Momoi gave a nod of his head. Momoi held her hand and made a wave like motion and Kuroko fell back asleep.

"So, who do you think this person is?" Aomine said while standing up and waiting for Momoi to catch up with him.

"I do not know, but he sounds in pain and full of sadness." Momoi said while taking Aomine's arm and leaving the room.

"I'm going to go to Rakuzan and tell Akashi what's happening over here." Aomine then went the opposite direction as Momoi towards a secret door that can only be opened by someone chosen by the castle to be the guardian.

Yes, the castle is alive. All of the main castles of the Teiko Empire are enchanted by an old magician who disappeared 300 years ago. It isn't guarded as much as a usual castle should be guarded because only the royal family and really close friends know this secret. It is passed down from generation to generation about a guardian who helped form and protect the Teiko Empire with the founding fathers. Because the castle is enchanted, the tunnels that connect all six kingdoms will change every hour. It's a labyrinth and only the six guardians know how to navigate through it.

As Aomine was nearing the end of the tunnel that led to Rakuzan he was hearing a loud voice and he recognized it as Kagami's. He was eavesdropping and had a thought that if he was alone he could have some juice to blackmail Kagami, but as the conversation went on he heard another voice, Akashi's.

"Akashi, I captured a man who was following me, but he had an accomplice. They were suspicious and followed me to the castle but didn't get far because of the secret barrier that we have put up." Kagami stated as Akashi looked at him straight in the eye.

"And this is so important and had to be mentioned to me personally." Akashi said angrily. His glare was making Kagami sweat bullets.

"Well, these people looked suspicious, they were talking about spirit circuits and that they could help the lands, but I never believed them and tried to capture them, but one escaped." Kagami squeaked out and sweat was rolling down his face out of nervousness.

"Oh? I see that they speak of the spirit circuits." Akashi said thoughtfully. "Daiki, if you're just going to stand there listening into our conversation please come out. You are not even trying to hide your presence."

Aomine jumped a little because as he was listening to their conversation he was trying to put together what was happening. Aomine came out behind his door and waved a little.

"Yo." Aomine tried to hide the awkwardness in the room.

"So Daiki, what are you here for?" Akashi's eyes stared right through him and was going to squeeze the truth out of him, but Aomine held it in.

"Well, I had a fight with that stupid woman so I want to hang out here for a long time." Aomine said while walking towards the table that was in the room and sitting down and was about to fall asleep when.

"No, we are all going to Seirin and interrogate this man who speaks of spirit circuits." Akashi had a gleam to his eyes and they all headed towards Seirin.
