Kagami Taiga, a 17 year old second year high school student, was recently having strange dreams, from the way a red haired girl lived until the way she died. Coincidently, he started having these dreams on the day he arrived in a place called 'Yuki no Yume'. Are these dreams only just mere dreams or maybe...

... It means something else?

In which the KuroBasu characters will experience a situation straight out from a horror story, love unexpectedly bloomed and misunderstandings will be solved.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroko no Basuke and its characters. Though, the place 'Yuki no Yume' is just a figment of my imagination. :3

Warning: Shounen-ai, possible OOC, wrong grammar... errors... I think that's it?

Tsuna: have fun reading this story minna!

Judai and Tsuna: Enjoy~!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LOVE!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Recap:

Static...

An image of a black haired boy could be seen, curled up on a red-black colored bed, crying on his folded arms. Beside him was another black haired boy, though his face was unrecognizable.

"I see." the other boy said, looking at the crying boy sympathetically.

"Don't worry; everything will work out just fine. And you'll never cry like this ever again."

Static...

This time, only the voices of unknown people could be heard and no images could be seen.

"You don't deserve her! You only deserve to die!"

"NO! Please, stop!"

"Hi****-chan, RUN!"

Static...

And an ear-piercing scream followed.

DreamNight 2: Horror Stories

Mibuchi Reo woke up with a start, panting for breath with his eyes widen. He relaxed the tight grip he had on the sheets and noticed his shirt wet with sweat. He glanced on the clock on the bedside table that read 12:12AM.

'Again... I had that dream again.' Reo thought while rubbing his temple, feeling a headache coming. He lied on the bed and started breathing evenly.

'I'll just talk to them about this later.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Eh?! We're going on an onsen?!"

"Isn't Yuki no Yume one of the famous onsen here in Japan?"

"Hn. I don't care wherever we're going as long as I can sleep."

"As long as there are snacks, it's fine by me."

"Aomine-kun, all you think about is sleeping. Murasakibara-kun, you shouldn't eat too much sweet."

"How exactly did you have a reservation to that place, Akashi?"

The red haired teen walking ahead of the Generation of Miracles (plus Kuroko and Momoi) stopped and glanced behind him with a smirking face.

"I have my connections, Shintaro. You shouldn't doubt me for I am absolute."

'Says the one who lose against Seirin last Winter Cup.' the Generation of Miracles (except for Akashi), Kuroko and Momoi thought simultaneously. Akashi narrowed his eyes at them and out of nowhere, he produced a pair of sharp scissors on his hand.

"What exactly are you all thinking about?"

"N-Nothing!"

Akashi nodded his head, satisfied, and hid his scissors back to where it came from. The others sighed in relief.

As they arrived at the onsen with a banner that said 'Yuki no Yume', they didn't expect to see a surprising sight upon opening the sliding door.

"Welcome to Yuki no Yume onsen, may I-geh!"

A one Kagami Taiga wearing a red kimono with flame designs on it, his hair in the front clipped on the side and surprisingly looked adorable as ever.

"EH?! You guys-?!"

"Kagamicchi?!"

"Kagami?!"

"Kagamin?!"

"Bakagami?!"

"Kagami-kun."

"Kagami Taiga."

And all throughout the exchange, located behind Kagami were Takao, who was clutching his sides due to laughing so hard, Reo, who was wiping his tears because of laughing, Himuro, who just chuckled, Kasamatsu, who finally smacked the laughing hawk-eyed teen on the head, and Imayoshi who sweat dropped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, I didn't expect for the Seirin Basketball Club to all be here. And here I thought this onsen are just for high class people." Akashi Seijuro commented and calmly sipped his tea.

After the surprised greeting they had at the entrance, the newly arrived guests were escorted to the guest room by a calm Himuro and Imayoshi all the while Reo ushered an embarrassed Kagami to his room to change.

And here they are, at the guest room with all the GoM (plus Kuroko and Momoi) together with Himuro, Imayoshi, Kagami, Reo, Kasamatsu and Takao.

"Well, the Seirin Team, Reo, Kasamatsu, Takao and I work here. Himuro is staying as a guest though occasionally, he's also helping." Imayoshi said, also sipping his tea.

"Uwa~ I never thought I'll see Kasamatsu-senpai in here!" Kise Ryouta said, hugging his senpai's arm. The ex Kaijou captain smacked him in the head.

"Quit hugging my arm, Kise!"

"Senpai is as mean as ever!"

"Shin-chan~ I never thought I'll see you during the winter vacation. It must be fate nanodayo~!" Takao exclaimed, sitting beside an irritated Midorima Shintaro.

"Stop imitating me, Bakao!"

"Sei-chan, do you still want some tea?" Reo asked with a sweet smile on his face. Akashi nodded his head and thanked the black haired teen, who proceeded to pour tea on the Rakuzan captain's cup.

"Muro-chin, do you have some sweets?" Murasakibara Atsushi asked, sitting behind Himuro and hugging the teen on his neck. The Yosen shooting guard chuckled and ruffled Murasakibara's hair.

"I'll give you some later, ok?"

"Ok..."

"I'm surprised that you're here, Kagami-kun. Too bad you already changed clothes..." Kuroko Tetsuya said, thought the last part was said in a mumbled way so as to not let the red haired teen beside him hear.

"Yeah, me too. I thought you're spending the whole winter vacation at Akashi's house."

"Akashi-kun decided that since its cold, we could really use the few days relaxing in a hot spring."

"So, in the end, it's like we're spending the winter vacation together, huh?" Kagami said, an excited smile slowly appearing on his face. Though, he doesn't really understand why the prospect of Kuroko and him spending the winter vacation together excited him.

"Yes, it seems like it, Kagami-kun." Kuroko said, mimicking his light's smile. But, the light-shadow moment was interrupted when Aomine slung an arm on Kuroko and commented.

"Duh. Tetsu will still be spending his time with us."

"Mou! Aomine-kun, you idiot! Tetsu-kun will spend his winter vacation with me!" Momoi complained, hugging Kuroko's right arm close to her chest. Kuroko's face went back to its usual expressionless look upon breaking his moment with Kagami. While the Seirin's Power Forward frowned and unknowingly clutched his chest.

'It hurts. Why does my chest hurt every time I see Aomine or Momoi being too close to Kuroko? And why does my stomach feels weird? And this time, in a bad way...' Kagami thought. He stood up and silently excused himself. Unbeknownst to the red-black haired teen, Himuro saw the slight change on his attitude.

'Sigh... Taiga, you're hopeless.'

"Well, since it's our last work day today, let's have a horror story telling later!" Takao exclaimed, smiling a Cheshire-like smile. Aomine, Momoi and Kise shuddered, Akashi, Himuro and Imayoshi looked interested, Murasakibara and Kasamatsu looked bored, Midorima sighed and Kuroko look expressionless, though a slight twinkle of interest in his eyes could be seen.

"Sounds interesting." Akashi commented, placing his empty cup on the table. Reo immediately filled it up.

"It's decided then! Let's have it later this evening! I'll also invite the others if they wanted to join." Takao said, bouncing up and down with excitement.

"I probably should be the one telling/ convincing Taiga to join since he sorta doesn't like to be a part of a horror story telling group. Excuse me." Himuro said, getting up from his comfortable position in front of Murasakibara. He was accompanied by Takao in exiting the room.

"Well, this night might be pretty entertaining." Imayoshi commented, a wicked smile on his face, which made Aomine, Momoi and Kise sweat bullets.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~HORROR!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the end, the horror story telling group consisted of a nervous Kise, Aomine and Momoi, and excited Takao, a mischievous, I'll-probably-scare-you-to-death smile wearing Imayoshi, bored-looking Murasakibara and Kasamatsu, a sighing Midorima, an amused Akashi, a sweating Kagami and the normal looking Kuroko, Himuro, Reo, Izuki and Hyuuga. Each of them was holding a lighted candle.

All of them were seated in a circle. Starting from Akashi to his right were Aomine, Kuroko, Momoi, Kise, Kasamatsu, Takao, Midorima, Hyuuga, Izuki, Imayoshji, Murasakibara, Himuro, Kagami, and seated on Akashi's left side, Reo.

"Let's start... Shall we?" Takao said, saying the last part with a creepy voice which made Kagami, Aomine, Kise and Momoi shiver.

"Please stop that!"

"Well, I might as well go first." Takao said and he cleared his throat.

"There was once a girl named Anne. On one Christmas day, she received a beautiful china doll, with beautiful black hair and black colored eyes that when you look at it, it seems like its staring right through you. The doll totally looked like a real person! Feeling creep out, she silently went out of their house, without her parents knowing, and threw the doll. Unfortunately, instead of going inside the trash bin, the doll's face was smashed in the concrete.

That night, when Anne was tucked in her bed and with her mother kissing her goodnight, she started to fall asleep. But, her slumber was interrupted when she heard some creaking sounds coming out from her room.

"It's probably mom.' she thought and went back to sleep. But the creaking never stopped. And this time, she heard a voice."

At this, Takao lowered his voice and made it sound girlish.

"Anne, I'm on the first step."

"Anne, I'm on the second step."

"Anne, I'm on the third step."

The girl, Anne, covered her ears and started to feel scared.

"Anne, I'm on the fifth step."

"Anne, I'm on the sixth step."

"Anne, I'm on the seventh step."

"Anne, I'm on the landing."

"Anne, I'm opening the door."

And indeed, the door to Anne's room creaked open."

"Anne, run!" Kise hysterically exclaimed. Kasamatsu smacked his head and covered his mouth. Takao continued his story.

"Anne was still covering her ears and she closed her eyes tightly, silently wishing that it's just her mother.

"Anne, I'm at your bed."

And Anne felt a movement on her pillow, as if someone laid their head on it. She slowly looked behind her and saw the china doll, with its face smashed into pieces with blood dripping on it. On its hand was a sharp butcher knife that reflected its sinister smile. It tilted its head and raised the butcher knife on the air.

"Anne, good night."

And stabbed Anne on the head with a BANG!"

Aomine, Kise, Momoi and Kagami screamed as they heard Takao shouted 'Bang' and immediately burried their face on the nearest person beside them. On Aomine and Momoi's case, it was Kuroko. While Kise jumped on Kasamatsu's arms and Kagami burried his face on Himuro's chest.

All the while, Takao laughed at their reactions.

"Man, that was really funny! I didn't know Aomine and Kagami can scream like a girl! Bwahahahahaha!"

And the others can't help but chuckle at this.

"Well, as entertaining as watching those 4 cowering in fear, I would like to continue the horror story telling. I'll be the next." Imayoshi said, smiling wickedly. Takao nodded his head and blew out the fire on his candle.

"Ahem. Ok, this story is actually a true-to-life story. It took place on a mansion located in the middle of the forest near this area."

"You mean the forest at the back of the onsen? That forest?" Hyuuga asked. The ex-Touou captain nodded his head.

"Yeah, that forest. Anyway, in that mansion lived a wealthy family, which consisted of the mother, father, the son and their pet. Together with the family were their servants.

It was winter when the family's friends arrived. It was the royal family which consisted of a King, Queen, a prince, their pet and the prince's personal servant.

To keep the story short, the crowned prince, Prince Akari, his personal servant, Hikari, and the son of the family that lived on the mansion, Rei, were childhood friends.

You see, despite being his personal servant, Prince Akari fell in love with Hikari and Rei, too, was in love with the girl.

And one midnight of December 12, the family inside the mansion and the royal family were slaughtered and only Prince Akari and Hikari were left alive. Unfortunately, Prince Akari was trapped inside his room and when Hikari opened the door, the sight that greeted her was of a headless prince with his missing head on the hands of the killer. The killer turned to look at her and grinned evilly. With a thud, he threw the head on the floor and stabbed the girl."

Imayoshi, then, bowed his head slightly so that his face was covered and lowered his voice. The others leaned forward to hear him.

"Until now, the killer has never been found and the murder case was eventually closed. But, it was rumored that every midnight of December 12, the event was repeated again and again. Though, the only part that was repeated was the murder of Hikari. And for that to happen, they said that girls were abducted by the killer that was wearing a blood-soaked mask of a joker that kinda look like... THIS!"

And with that, Imayoshi looked up and grinned evilly at them. Once again, Kise, Aomine, Momoi and Kagami shrieked and also, Takao jumped on his seat and crawled on Midorima's lap, much to the annoyance (or is it delight?) of the green haired shooter. Hyuuga was shaking while gripping Izuki's hand tightly, Himuro hugged a frozen Murasakibara's arm, Kuroko, Kasamatsu and Akashi froze and surprisingly, Reo and Izuki looked normal.

Imayoshi laughed at their reactions.

"You guys... Your reactions are hilarious! Hahahahahahaha!" the once point guard of Touou said, chuckling.

"Too bad Reo and Izuki weren't scared by it."

The aforementioned duo just sighed.

"That's because we already heard that story before countless of times, Imayoshi-san." Izuki said. Hyuuga looked at him questioningly.

"You did?"

"But the one you heard was the tragic version, not the scary version." Imayoshi said.

"Eh? There's another version of that story?" Kise asked. Reo, Izuki and Imayoshi nodded.

"Why don't Reo tell you about it. After all, he likes that romance-tragedy stuff."

"Hey!" Reo commented, a pout on his face. Akashi looked at him with slight curiosity.

"I'm also interested to hear the story, Reo."

With his resolve weakening upon knowing Akashi's interest, Reo sighed.

"Since Sei-chan insists, I'll tell you about it."

"But I'll say this first. The rumors about the joker-killer abducting girls were true. But it's not just any girls. It's either a black haired girl or a red haired girl."

"Is it because Hikari was a red haired girl?" Takao asked. Reo looked thoughtful for a moment the shrugged his shoulders.

"Probably. Anyway, these girls were abducted in different timelines. Some says it's every 11:30 PM but some says it's during midnight. But in the end, those girls were killed and their bodies went missing."

"And that's why nobody visits the mansion in the middle of the forest; for fear that they will be the next one to be killed." Izuki added.

"Ok, enough of that. What about the other version of the story you were talking about?" Hyuuga asked. Unnoticed by everyone, Reo, Imayoshi and Izuki looked down and smiled softly.

"It's the original story of the King, Queen, Jack, Ace and Joker. The story of the Black Rose."
