Author's note: I'm so sorry for not updating earlier. You see, a few days ago, I was reading an AkaKuro fic but I can't see the AkaKuro at all. All I saw was AkaFuri. I was so angry that my innocent phone nearly kissed the wall. I guess you could say that I was sulking but hey, it's like buying a dark chocolate only to find out it was a white chocolate instead. definitely not pleasant.

Edit: So sorry for that stupid mistakeT^T

scientist - Midorima, robot - Takao

The Sixth Night

Hello, everyone. Welcome to the House of Shiori. It is our sixth night and I, Shiori the owner, am more than glad to present you tonight's show. Tonight, we will present you a play-

"Hell yeah! A play! I've been waiting for this. Oi, Tetsu! Let's pair up. We can be the main actors."

"I refuse, Aomine-kun."

- that is inspired by the Vocaloid song "Kokoro Kiseki". It's-

"What is this Vocaloid you speak of?"

"Eh? Shin-chan, you don't know? It's very popular all around the world!"

"I don't see the importance of knowing something like that."

"Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesizer. Its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, in 2000 (the same team that later founded Voctro Labs) and originally was not intended to be a full commercial project. Backed-"

"Wait?! How do you know about this, Akashi?"

"Isn't it obvious, Shintaro? I know everything."

-about a lonely scientist-

"Fufu…A scientist? Then, I should take that role."

"I think that role suits Imayoshi better, Hanamiya."

-and a robot who wanted to feel emotions like human being-

"Mayuzumi, you should take that role. It suits you."

"Nonsense! Tet-chan suits that role better. Right, Sei-chan?"

TWHACK! THUMP! SWISH! CRASH! BOOM! CRACK!

*everyone looks at authoress who is smiling sadistically, some of them sporting bruises or injuries. She is holding a few butter knives*

Is there anyone else that wants to interrupt me?

*shakes head frantically*

Good. Now, where was I? Oh, right. So basically, we will make a play depicting a lonely scientist and his emotionless robot. I decided that Midorima-san will be the scientist while the robot will be Takao-san.

"Huh?! Why?!"

Because I said so. Now, shut up, Ahomine. You and the others that are not involved with the play with sit with the audiences tonight.

"Tch, fine."

Let's start, shall we? *clears throat* There was once a lonely scientist. He was hailed as the brightest despite his age so it was not a strange thing to see that he was shunned by other scientists. But the prodigy merely scoffed and chose to live in seclusion. He chose to live in the countryside where no one would disturb him. But, it was in human nature to seek out comfort and warmth, so he decided to build a robot to accompany him.

"Nee, Nee, Shio-chan. Why do I have to be inside this coffin-like box?"

Because you were supposed to be just created by Midorima-san, Takao-san.

"I see~"

Let's continue the story. The young scientist being the genius that he is managed to create a robot.

"Finally, it's done. Do you know who I am?"

But, there was just something that he could never recreate. Human emotions. So, the robot was emotionless.

"Shin-chan~ You look so good in that lab coat~"

"Don't call me that, Takao!"

Takao-san, you're supposed to be emotionless. *sighs* I think I chose the wrong actor. Oh, well. Back with the story. The scientist tried to make the robot to feel emotions but no matter what he did, the robot remained the way he is.

"Shin-chan~ Where am I supposed to put this prop? It's a big sakura tree with a giant hole at the centre, I think."

"Just put it over there."

"Okay~"

He even attempted to teach the robot to sing once.

"What are you doing, you fool?! Takao, don't you dare sing!"

"Awwhhh~ But, Shin-chan, I want to."

Why can't Takao-san sing, Midorima-san?

"His singing voice is awful."

*everyone looks at each other and shrugs*

I'm sure you're jesting. It can't be that bad.

"Unfortunately, it is that bad."

Well, we need him to sing so…Takao-san, hit it.

"Okay~"

"NO!"

*Midorima watches in horror as Takao opens his mouth. The former immediately plugs his ears. What followed after is the sound of a cat scratching its nails on a piece of glass with a megaphone being placed in front of it.*

"Stop!"

"Mother….Takao, stop now or I'll kick you off the team!"

"Takao-kun, I'll appreciate it if you stop now."

"You fucking hawk eye! Stop!"

"Takaocchi, I think I'm seeing my dead grandmother."

"Kazunari, cease your singing this instant!"

*Takao stops singing. Everyone is on the floor while clutching their ears and they groan in relief*

"So, how was it?"

"Kazunari, you are banned from singing in front of me and Tetsuya ever again."

"Eh? Why~"

"Takaocchi, your singing voice is pure evil."

"So mean, Kise~"

"If you ever sing in front of me again, you're dead."

"Do you really have to threaten me, Aomine? It wasn't that bad, right?"

*everyone glares at him*

"IT WAS THAT BAD!"

I think my ears are bleeding.

"See? Even Shioricchi agrees."

*Takao pouts*

Let's just continue with the story, okay? Wishing to share happiness and sadness with his robot, the scientist began to work tirelessly at creating a program for him. It was a program that would make the robot a heart so that he could feel human emotions. Coincidentally, the name of that program was 'Kokoro'.

"Who came up with that crappy name?"

"Shut up and enjoy the show, Taiga."

However, time was running out, as the scientist was merely a mortal that could not escape the clutches of Death. He passed away soon with regret filling him for not being able to make his robot happy. The robot was left alone for several hundred years and he began to wonder about his creation. He went to the scientist workplace and made a wish. He accessed the file his creator had left and finally gained a heart.

"How am I supposed to access it if there's not even a computer here?"

Please pretend, Takao-san.

"Okay~"

*Midorima sighs*

"Why am I stuck with this idiot?"

"I love you too, Shin-chan~"

"W-What are you talking about, Takao?"

"Tsun-tsun Shin-chan~"

On with the story. In the process, the robot discovered what it would be like to be happy and sad. As he excitedly twirling around in happiness, he stumbled upon the corpse of his creator. He remembered that one day his creator suddenly stopped moving. The robot then started to cry.

*Takao pokes at the fake skeleton lying against the sakura tree*

*everone facepalms*

In the future or rather past, the scientist, now old, sighed and began to lose hope. Suddenly, he was greeted with an image of the robot crying. It was a miracle. He theorized that he received a message from the robot from the future, after he created his heart.

The robot continued to cry but stopped when he saw the sakura tree in front of him distorting and a portal appeared.

"So, that's what the huge hole is for."

Yes, it is. May I continue?

"Sure~"

The both of them looked at each other through the portal and the scientist grinned and passed through the portal.

"Do I have to?"

Yes, you have to, Midorima-san.

*Midorima grumbles but crawls through the hole. Aomine snickers*

The scientist turned young again and he smiled at his creation. The robot blushed and turned away. The both of them spent their time together playing, running and the robot singing for his creator.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE, TAKAO/KAZUNARI."

*again, Takao pouts*

The scientist smiled serenely. He gave the robot the inheritance of solitude and entrusted him with the key to the miracle. He obtained peace knowing that his creation would be fine and passed away in tranquility.

"Shin-chan dead~"

"Shut up, Takao."

But, the burden of the new heart was too heavy for the robot to bear. In the end, the miracle robot had a short in his system and could no longer do anything. However, he had a smile on his face in his last moments, resembling an angel.

*snorts* "What angel? His singing voice nearly killed us."

That's kind of mean, Kagami-san.

"But, you're not denying it either, Shiori."

I suppose you're right, Akashi-san. Well, that's it for tonight. Before you leave, please don't forget to leave a comment on tonight's performance. Good night~
