List of characters: Hibiya - Aomine, Hiroto (boy version of Hiyori) - Kise

The Fourth Night

*all the KnB characters are already inside the House of Shiori and are waiting for the authoress while chatting. The authoress enters the building with a gloomy face*

"Ah! Shioricchi, you're here! That's strange. Usually you're the first one here to greet us."

*authoress ignores Kise and goes straight to hug Akashi. Everyone's eyes go wide and Kuroko, while feeling jealous, waits for the authoress explanation*

*sobbing sound*

"Err…Shioricchi? Are you okay?"

*authoress looks up from Akashi's chest and starts to wail*

UWWAAAHH! I didn't know that your life is that harsh, Akashi-san. I promise to treat you better. And to think I used to hate Bokushi too. Oreshi is so kind and self-sacrificing as well.

"B-Bokushi? O-Oreshi?"

*everyone is puzzled by this while Akashi is annoyed*

"What are you talking about, Shiori? And who is this Bokushi and Oreshi?"

Bokushi is a parallel Akashi Seijuro that uses 'boku' to refer to himself and has heterochromatic eyes of gold and red, that's why us fangirls call him 'Bokushi' while Oreshi is the same parallel version of Akashi Seijuro but is the real personality that uses 'ore' to refer himself and both of his eyes are red, that's why 'Oreshi'.

"Wait?! The real personality?! You mean, that parallel Akashi has TWO personality?!"

Yes, Kagami-san.

"Which is more demonic?"

*everyone except Akashi shot Kise pitying looks. Kise didn't seem to realize how he phrased his question*

Kise-san, don't worry. We'll visit your grave. As for the answer to your question, well, I think it's Bokushi.

"What brought this on, anyway?"

Ahh…You see, Midorima-san. While I did say that it's a parallel Akashi Seijuro, I think it's more accurate to say that he's the original Akashi Seijuro.

"Whaddya mean?"

It means, Aomine-san, that the reason this Akashi Seijuro in front of me exists is because of him. Parallel worlds exist because of the 'what if' question. So, our Akashi Seijuro exists because of the 'what if Akashi Seijuro loves Kuroko Tetsuya?' question arises.

"Wait?! Are you saying that Akashi is not in love with Tetsuya?! Impossible! Tetsuya is the most lovable person in the world! How can anyone not love him?!"

That's because that Akashi is straight and only cares about upholding his family's name.

"That bastard! *everyone gasps. They never heard Akashi curse before* How dare he?! I'll show him his rightful place!"

*everyone stops Akashi from leaving*

"Let go of me this instance!*

Akashi-san, even if we do support you in beating the other Akashi-san, you have no way of travelling to a parallel world.

*Akashi thinks about it and finally calms down. For extra measures, authoress discreetly signals Kuroko to hug Akashi and calms him down completely. It works.*

Anyway, I'm digressing. The reason I'm mentioning this is because I've read the latest chapter of Kuroko no Basuke and I cried after reading it. *shows everyone chapter 266*

"What the?! It says here that it was updated on 21st Jun! You only read it ONE WEEK after it was posted?! Unbelievable!"

It's not my fault! I was busy with the stories and only seemed to remember it today, Aomine-san. Anyone, tonight's show is requested by panda-ryuu-chan. That person asked for a 'Kagerou Days' theme with any of you to act EXCEPT for Akashi-san and Kuroko-san, as the both of them are her favourites and does not wish to see them…Well, you'll find out later.

"…"

Is there something wrong, Kuroko-san?

"Shiori-san, you said that Oreshi has red eyes and refers to himself as 'ore' while Bokushi has heterochromatic eyes and uses 'boku', right?"

Yes…So, what's the problem?

"Sei-kun uses 'ore' but has heterochromatic eyes, so which category does he belongs to?"

Finally, someone asks this question! Akashi-san falls into a new category that I made up which is 'Okushi', the combination of 'Oreshi' and 'Bokushi'. *grins widely*

"That name is so lame~"

Well, it's either that or 'Boreshi', Aomine-san. And if I'm not mistaken, 'borei' means 'ghost' or 'ruined spirit' in Japanese.

"I don't see any problem with 'Boreshi'. In fact, it fits Akashi perfectly!"

"Are you insinuating something, Daiki?"

"Err…Of course not, Akashi."

I think we've wasted enough time so without further adue, I present to you the movie titled 'Kagerou Days' with Aomine-san and Kise-san as the main characters. The story revolves around a boy, Hibiya, and his boyfriend, Hiroto.

"A movie, again?! It's the third time in a row! When do we get to make a play or a drama?! And why me?!"

*irritated* I think it's time for you and Kise-san to be in the spotlight for once. And I can't exactly bring a truck here inside this small building to make it into a play, I'm not like Akashi-san who seems to can make the impossible possible. As for it not being a drama, this is just a short one, well, not too short.

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Can that even qualify as a compliment? Doesn't it just mean that Akashi is not human?"

"Silence, Eikichi."

*like the previous nights, all of them join the audiences and sit with their respective friends/boyfriends. The screen glows bright while the lights grow dark*

A teen is cradling a bloodied body, presumably dead, while crying on a road. A mysterious figure stands among the crowd while saying something.

*scene shows two teens on a swing*

Hibiya looks at his phone. The phone showing it is twelve thirty in the afternoon on 15th August. He puts down the phone and looks at the clear blue sky. He blinks when the sun's rays hurt his eyes and he uses his right hand that is holding his phone to block the rays.

He is chatting with a blonde teen, Hiroto, that sits next to him on the swings at a park. The blonde is wearing a black bracelet on his right wrist.

"But I think I kind of hate summer." The blonde boldly murmured while petting a black cat. His boyfriend looks at him but says nothing.

"I didn't know you like cats, Ryota."

"Just because you haven't seen me pet one before, doesn't mean automatically that I hate cats, Daikicchi."

*scene changes, showing Kise and Aomine walk together*

The two of them is walking side by side, continuing their chat. The blonde holds the cat in his arms. Suddenly, the cat jumps out and Hiroto chases after it. Hibiya merely stands and watches his boyfriend.

The blonde runs onto a zebra-crossing, not noticing the traffic light that signals it is safe to cross turns to a glaring red. Hibiya's eyes go wide but before he can warn his boyfriend, the blonde is hit by the truck. The blonde falls and blood splashes everywhere. On the truck, Hiroto, the traffic light, the road and on Hibiya. Hibiya hears a scream, though he is not sure whether it comes from him or the blonde.

His boyfriend's scent is mixed with the scent of blood and it chokes him. He covers his mouth and cries. The heat haze, which shows up in a form of a white version of himself, apparently mocks him in his daze, saying "This is all real." while laughing. With that, like a cricket's sound being disturbed, the light blue of summer darkens.

"It feels weird to see Aomine-kun cry."

"What kind of monster do you think I am, Tetsu?"

"An arrogant, perverted one."

"But I think it's stranger to see a white version of Mine-chin, Kuro-chin~"

"Ahh…You're right, Murasakibara-kun."

"Oi!"

*scene shows a place where there are thousands of clocks ticking but all show different time. The white version of Aomine, White Aomine, puts one hand on a clock but when he swipes his hand across it, the surface of the clock is painted with blood*

*scene changes to show Aomine on his bed*

Hibiya wakes up on his bed to the sound of a ticking clock. He wonders what time is it. He checks his phone and sees that it is sometime past twelve in the afternoon of 14th August. His eyes go wide and he looks past the windows to see the clear blue sky, recalling the sound of an awfully annoying cricket.

The both of them are sitting at the swings again. The tanned teen has a gloomy face on while the blonde is not petting the cat this time. It merely stays perched on top of the blonde's lap.

"It's strange, y'know."

"What is?"

They are walking together side by side. The blonde holds the cat in his arms.

"Yesterday, in a dream, I saw us walking in this exact same park."

"Figures Daiki won't know something unless it slaps him one the face."

"Whaddya mean?"

"Nothing."

The cat suddenly jumps out of the blonde's arm and the blonde starts to chase it. The tanned teen sees a flash of red from his memories. Suddenly, Hibiya remembers what will happen should the blonde continue to chase the cat. He stops the blonde by holding his right wrist. The blonde turns around, puzzled.

"Why don't we go home now?"

They starts to walk home together but the second the blonde steps off the path, the people around them starts shouting and pointing at something. Hiroto closes his eyes and when he opens it again, he steps in front of Hibiya, then a pole falls from the sky and pierces through him. Hibiya's eyes go wide with shock.

The sounds of wind chimes and Hiroto's screams fill the spaces between the trees. Hibiya's face contorts with disbelief and he starts to walk to the blonde. White Hibiya shows up beside him and laughs while saying, "This is the real thing!" Hibiya turns his head to White Hibiya and the latter smirks. Hibiya looks back at the road that is covered with blood and suddenly, White Hibiya is in front of him and pushes him, still smirking. Hibiya's vision blackens but before he faints, he glances at Hiroto and thinks he sees Hiroto smiling while saying something as he dies.

"Why is Kise smiling when he's about to die? Crazy idiot."

"Kasamatsucchi, so mean! Can't you think that I died a heroic death, saving my boyfriend from harm?"

"I can't think of anything heroic from you."

*everyone nods sagely. Kise turns to Kuroko who averts his eyes*

"You don't think so, right Kurokocchi?"

"I'm sure you will do something heroic someday, Kise-kun."

"Wahh! Everyone is bullying me!"

*scene changes, showing Aomine on his bed*

Hibiya wakes up abruptly and clutches his head. He hastily wears his clothes and goes out to find Hiroto. He finds him sitting on the same swing at the same park and drags him. Hiroto is surprised and he gasps in shock, seeing Hibiya's panicked face. Hibiya drags him to an overpass. They climb the stairs and as they are nearing the top, Hibiya turns back to say something to Hiroto but he sees something in his line of sight and it causes him to stop, it is White Hibiya. He is leaning against the railings and he merely looks at them. Hibiya tears up and suddenly, Hiroto slips and tumbles down the stairs to his death.

*scene shows the clocks again. But this time, all of the surface are covered with blood and all of it show how Kise dies differently for each death*

"How can anyone be so cruel as to request such a horrible story?! I lost count how many times Kise-kun died already."

Calm down, Aida-san. It's just a story. It's not real.

"It will be better if it was real, though. Ryota could use a wake-up call and removes his idiocy from his brain."

"Akashicchi, that's just mean. Wishing a death on someone."

"But, it's a good kind of death, Ryota. Maybe after experiencing something like that, you will finally mature and learn to cherish your loved ones."

'Does that mean you want to go through something like that with Kurokocchi?"

*Akashi is silent for a very long time*

"Tetsuya and I are very mature so there's no need. Now, stop interrupting the movie."

*he turns back to the screen*

*whispers* "Nee, nee, Daikicchi. Did I just win an argument against Akashicchi?!"

*nods in disbelief* "I think so."

*two shogi pieces fly out of nowhere, hitting them on their foreheads*

"OW!"

*In another separate dimension, presumably Aomine's mind, it shows that he is crying and shouting while covering his ears, unable to believe what is happening.*

This process repeats for decades, the same two days happening over and over. Hibiya realizes it but each time, he will black out so he has no way of stopping it.

*scene change to show Aomine's mind but this time, he has a gloomy face and puts one of his hand on an invisible wall*

This kind of frequently told story has only one ending, but it can be found beyond those repeating summer days.

*Aomine sees a replay of the first day in his mind and decides to take action. With one of their happier memory in mind, he pushes himself off the wall and chases after Kise*

In reality, Hibiya pushes Hiroto out of the way of the truck, so that he is killed himself, thinking it would stop the loop from repeating. Before the truck slams onto him, he looks at the truck and gives a slight smile. Blood splatters everywhere just like last time. Hibiya notices that Hiroto's eyes and Hibiya's own twisted body are like hazy reflections of the blood that splashed everywhere.

Hiroto starts to cover his mouth and cry when he sees Hibiya falls to the ground. White Hibiya can be seen beside Hiroto, Hibiya expects him to laugh like each time this happens but White Hibiya's eyes are wide as he does not expect Hibiya to do that. Hibiya looks at him, seemingly mocking the heat haze.

"This kind of mocking face suits Aomine-kun better."

"Tetsu, please, drop it."

"I didn't know that you're capable of saying 'please', Aomine."

'Shut up, Midorima."

The heat haze covers his ears and tears can be seen at the corners of his eyes. Hibiya ignores him and looks at Hiroto. He thinks that it is a regular summer day. But all of that ends today.

From behind Hiroto, a black apparition shows up and steps in front. Hibiya's eyes are wide as he sees that it is a black version of Hiroto that is quite similar to his own white version one.

*scene shows a dimension that has thousands of clock but most of them are broken instead of bloodied. Black Kise puts his fist on one but the force he uses causes the surface to crack*

*Kise's fangirls in the audience seat squeal at this. They see a new side of their idol. A dangerous, silent, black-wearing, serious Kise*

*scene changes, showing Kise on his bed*

Awakening on August 14 in a bed, Hiroto leans his head on the windowsill beside his bed. The black bracelet that he always wears on his right wrist is around the cat's neck, acting as a collar. He cradles the cat and says, "It didn't work again." Black Hiroto shows up in front of him but he says nothing, just smiles in amusement. A tear slides down Hiroto's cheek.

*everyone is silent*

"Well, that was…entertaining."

*everyone looks at Kiyoshi as if he just claimed that he's actually an alien from outer space*

"You call that 'entertaining'?! We have to watch Kise die many times!"

"I'm just voicing my opinion. No need to get mad, Hyuga~"

"Ironheart has an iron heart."

"That's not even funny, Izuki."

*chaos erupts and authoress sighs*

Well, that's it for the fourth night. Good-

*authoress hears something break and saw her Tsunayoshi mug on the floor in a thousand pieces. Her head tilts down, her bangs shadowing her face*

*everyone except Kuroko and Akashi fidgets and shivers as a cold chill goes down their spines*

*authoress lifts her head and they see her grinning maniacally*

I suggest you run.

*needless to say, it is heeded and authoress chases after them with a bunch of knives in her hands*

*Akashi and Kuroko sigh and looks at audience*

"Since Shiori is 'busy', we'll end this tonight."

"Please leave a comment on tonight's performance before you leave the building."

*they chorused* "Goodbye."
