And here's the twin chapter of Chapter 6, LOL its vacation so I have some time to write this double chapter, and thank God my wifi is being a darling and letting me update. Anyways thank you guys for your reviews. Have you seen the Teiko Arc? I swear they should replace it with TEIKO FEELS instead, at first I was laughing then after a few episodes I was just rolling on the streams of feels. Poor Ogiwara, poor Kuroko. Don't worry baby Kuroko it may break you, but you aint gonna be destructed ( TT ^ TT )b Honestly I am drowning myself with these and my art classes for some reason, things kinda had stuffed itself on me, I'll tell you guys when I'm ready, maybe on the next chapter(Don't worry I'm not gonna die or something, Satan would purged me out of hell I'm too much sass for him).

Ahahaha anyhow, whoa, so many reviews, what to do LOL anyways thank you guys, to Bubbles9595 THANK YOU for reviewing I missed you! *sends you a virtual hug with a panda*Thankies and please stay tune, we're gonna flame up things REAL SOON. How? Well, let's start with the remaining horsemen *winks* Ahahaha and again to Kumiko-Walker ahaha thank you again, and yes the other horsemen will show up, they're necessary for the apocalypse if I'm not mistaken. I picked up Nijimura as Death maybe because I pictured Death someone like Akashi, calm, composed, witty, and there was no other candidate than Nijimura who had practically has a hold over the GoM who were monsters of their own ways. He can tame in a way Death could, frightening in some way, peaceful at one point, commanding most of the time. As for the other horsemen, we'll reveal real soon. To XXNido on ahahaHimuro as a teacher, huh, I think I got the idea due to the way he treats Murasakibra—you know kinda mommy like, ahaha. I remember a professor in my university, he was a history prof and the girls were all over him, when I was writing Himuro I kinda remembered how my classmates were with him. Its like 60% were focused at his face more than on what he was saying, I'm on the 20% who was busy doing something else(DO NOT IMITATE AUTHOR-SAN PLEASE) and the other 20% were taking notes and seriously studying. I swear that guy had almost half of the class always failing quizzes. And don't worry, we'll have LOTS of Akafuri later on since they're practically the main pair second to Kagakuro. I just love that two pairs. To Mew'sMeow more feels coming up! *winks*

So anyways, let's go back to our story!

DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A REVIEW GUYS!

Chapter 7: BRIGHT

Kise stood there sitting on the bench as the basketball team practiced, his eyes carefully watching there every single move, every single flex, spin, dribble, shot, run, skids. It was amazing, but nothing compared to the way Aomine fluidly moved. It was as if he was looking at a panther in his natural habitat. He was fast, so fast that his eyes barely could keep with him. So stunning and raw, so wild, unpredictable, it was so beautiful. Momoi's eyes darted from the team to the blonde sitting in bench, he stare at them with calculating eyes as if they were some sort of camera recording his team's moves. His eyes sparkled in a way Momoi could describe as thrill. He had seen that kind of spark before, in Aomine's eyes when there was so many challengers. Somehow they were quite similar. "Why won't you join Kise-kun?" Momoi said smiling at the other. Kise turned to her and gave her an awkward smile. "You look like you're interested."

Kise scratched the back of his head, "But I haven't played basketball before."

"Its just a try." Momoi said with a smile. Kise smiled and nodded. "Guys!" Momoi called, everyone stopped and turned to the two, "Kise-kun will join the team against Aomine-kun."

One of them laughed, "Pretty boy will try and stop Aomine?"

"You must be kidding me." One whispered.

Kise scratched his head smiling, "P-Please go easy on me." He said meekly. Everybody laughed except Aomine who didn't look like he would go easy on the blonde, he's a friggin angel for Pete's sake. He's definitely something to look forward to seeing the other on the opposite side of the court. Aomine watched as one of the players got subbed out to replace Kise. His eyes caught Kise's smirking. The ball was on Kise's team, Aomine wanted to see what this blonde angel got. As the ball was passed an automatic run-and-gun started, and then the ball was passed quickly to Kise making the tanned male's eyes widen. For a moment Kise looked nervous but then he suddenly bent his knees, a brave sould ran to steal the ball from Kise but the blonde quickly dribbled the ball from his right to left and made a quick spin freeing him from his guard, Aomine squinted his eyes, he have seen that move before. His eyes darted to one of his teammates who was staring at Kise slacked jaw. Kise ran as he dribbled the ball but he was blocked, Aomine caught the glint in those eyes when Kise suddenly made a quick drive lowering himself before making a quick side step to the other. It was so fast the basketball player barely could brace himself a reaction.

He had seen it, the way moves, Aomine's teammates were left in awe at the display before them—it was their very own techniques, enhanced and faster. Aomine smirked to himself, he knew Kise isn't some peep-squeak. Aomine decided to take things by his hand running and chasing the blonde, the Too ace quickly caught up with Kise. His eyes watched the way Kise dribbled his ball, there was a pattern, three times left, then he'd switch gear to the right and dribble twice and back again. Aomine waited for his chace and tipped the ball of Kise catching it looked surprised but the blonde smiled.

This…

Aomine stared at him dribbling the ball for a fe moments, Kise caught the message and quickly lunged trying to steal the ball from Aomine. His eyes were fast, but not as fast as Aomine's body could react. Kise could not help but admire the way Aomine's limbs quickly move, or the smirk on his face. He was so frustratingly amazing. The tanned male dribbled the ball from left to right and that wwas when Kise finally caught the ball stealing it Kise quickly ran to the basket but as he was about to dunk the ball Aomine had caught up, Aomine slapped the ball of Kise's grip and it fell to the court and bounced to Momoi's feet.

Aomine found Momoi staring at them in awe, he turned and found the other players were left behind. Wow, he…didn't even notice. Kise was heaving as he wiped the sweat on his face with his own shirt a smile painting his features.

This is...

FUN

Kise had never had so much fun before, it was so thrilling and the thought of winning over Aomine wwas so enticing. The adrenaline was pumping fast in his system and he could only think but to play more. When the silence dawned to Kise he turned to Momoi who had blinked out of her reverie she clapped her hands and ran towards Kise. "Kise-kun!" she cheered as she garbbed Kise's hands shaking them vehemently, "Kise-kun please join the basketball club!"

Kise blinked…join?

"Eh but—"

"Please!"

Kise turned to Aomine as if asking his permission, the tanned malegave him a nod which made the blonde smile, "I-If its alright I…I'd love to."

"Really?" Momoi exclaimed and launched herself to Kise, "Thanks Ki-chan!"

"K-Ki-chan?"

A few minutes after the bell rang signalling lunch break, the second stringers were assigned to clean the court, and everyone else left. It has been a while, Kise thought as he looked at the palm of his hands. He didn't knew running and jumping like this would be so much fun. He had only known flying all those time, but this time it was a different kind of flight. It was flying without the need to spread his wings, it was thrilling, the thought that you could only maintain that for a period of time made Kise excited. It was as if he had to push his mind to quickly think of what to do on that short period of time on air. He didn't know he'd enjoy using his two feet. Kise could not help but let a smile paint his lips as he sat there on the school's rooftop where Aomine told him to wait for him. Looking up Kise found the sky looking as fair as it was at home.

Father, earth is…I think its cool!

Kise wondered if their father could hear him, sadly, maybe he can't anymore. Midorima said their father must be dead now, though it was something Kise could not even wrap his head on, there was nothing else that could explain why the gate to the abyss was destroyed. It was made indestructible after all.

"Ow!" Kise flinched as he felt something so cold against his cheek, turning to his side he found a blue wrapper pressed against his cheek. Looking up he found Aomine with his usual smug smirk holding the item to the angel. "What's that?" Kise asked pouting, it inevitably took him out of his train of thoughts. Aomine handed Kise the item which the blonde didn't hesitate to take.

"Popsicle, you don't have any up there?"

"No."

Aomine laughed and sat next to Kise, Kise figured he had to peel off the wrapping and he was greeted by a frozen sweet on stick which made his eyes sparkle in curiosity. "Its…blue." Kise said squinting his eyes as if inspecting the item, Aomine laughed his lungs out at the blonde's utterly peculiar response towards the popsicle, he swore he could die laughing. The angel frowned at the basketball player's reaction, "Well sorry I am so clueless about human things because I am—"

"Okay, okay," Aomine raised both his hands in resignation, "its soda flavour."

"So…I'm supposed to eat it?"

"No you're gonna smudge it to your face." Aomine said sarcastically making Kise frown even more. "Alright, yeah, its like ice cream."

Kise nodded in amazement as he quickly took a bite—

"HEY!"

The blonde's eyes widen as he automatically felt a numbing feeling in his jaws and gums. Kise hissed in pain. "That hurts!" Kise said nursing his jaw.

"Why did you bit the whole thing?"

"You said I'm supposed to eat it."

"Not like that!"

The blonde stared at Aomine, "Then pray do tell how do humans eat?"

The tanned male sighed, "Its cold, right? You don't eat it, like bite it, you lick! It's a popsicle for goodness sake!"

"Well I'm sorry I didn't knew!"

"Why are you shouting?"

"I'm not shouting!"

"No, you're definitely shouting, and angry."

"I am not angry!"

Aomine stifled a laugh as he saw Kise furrowing his eyebrows, instead of looking menacing or threatening, Kise looks the complete opposite of that. Like a small kitten with the hair raised and hissing but just looks so cuddly. "Are you mocking me?" Kise said frowning.

Aomine shrugged and pointed at Kise's ice cream which was slowly melting. The blonde alarmed by it turned to the ice cream and licked the melting portion. "I'm mad, you know."

"Yeah, sure."

"Tsk."

Aomine shrugged, are all angels this naïve, no it must be Kise's personality. Its kinda cu—wait what? No, no, come on where's cute in that…long lashes, amber eyes, those rose colored li—okay, okay, m-maybe just a bit—Aomine mentally slapped himself for thinking that towards a guy and an angel to boot! What the hell. "B-By the way," Aomine said clearing his throat, "I told Satsuki about those guys you were looking for, Kuroko Tetsuya, right?"

The blonde nodded as he finished the popsicle, "Satsuki?"

"Yeah, Momoi, Momoi Satsuki."

"You don't call others by their first name." Kise said. He had heard Aomine call his teammates using their last name, thinking about it, he does call Momoi by her first name.

"Ah yeah," Aomine said plainly, "We grew up together, childhood friends."

Kise blinked and titled his head, so people who grow up together…are childhood friends? "How can Momoicchi find Kurokocchi?"

-cchi? Aomine raised a brow at Kise's used of that strange suffix. "Well she has a tact on finding data about people."

"But Kurokochi's note a person."

"Is he a dog or what?"

"Don't be mean," Kise said knocking Aomine with the popsicle stick in his head, "Kurokochi's my brother, he's an angel too…just a little different."

Aomine was quick to catch the way Kise's expression dissolved into something different when he mentioned the word different. Strange, he wonders what was that about that Kurokocchi. "Satsuki will find him." Aomine said reassuring the other, "Whatever he is, if he's here, I'm sure Satsuki will find him."

Kise smiled finally, "Thank you…Aominecchi."

"Huh?"

"What?"

"What's with that cchi?"

"Because Aominecchi's amazing!"

"I don't understand that either."

...

After school Aomine went to check on Momoi who told him that she was on it. Aomine was one lucky man to have someone like Momoi as her ally, seriously that woman's friggin dangerous, he wonders sometimes if she could be the rumoured person who was able to hack the Pentagon's system before. "I'm still on it." Momoi said as she scribbled something on her small notepad, "Isn't anything else Kise-kun could say about this Kuroko Tetsuya?"

Aomine tried to remember what Kise told him during lunch, every single detail, "I remember he said the guy has uhm blue, ah, no light blue hair. He's kinda small in height." Momoi nodded as she wrote it on her notepad.

"Okay, that's cool enough." Momoi said with a smile, "I'll call you when I get something."

"Hn, thanks." Aomine said to the other. "I'll go ahead, then."

"WAIT!" Momoi said as she grabbed the hem of Aomine's uniform, the tanned male turned to her raising a brow. Momoi chuckled and reached to her pocket before putting two coupons in Aomine's hand. "It's a small café from here, really nice frappe and all, you should take Kise-kun there."

"Huh?" Aomine raised a brow and sighed, "I told you we're not like that."

"Yet."

"Satsuki, seriously."

Momoi chuckled, "No, that's kinda my treat to Kise-kun and since I can't come, I have something to talk about with the student council, so you treat Kise-kun alright?"

"What, no!"

"The coupon will go to waste then."

"Ah! W-Whatever." Aomine said finally pocketing the item, "I'm going home then."

"Take care of Kise-kun!"

"Shut up!"

Momoi chuckled to herself, when was the last time he ever saw Aomine Daiki flustered again, no, that never happened—until today. That Kise Ryouta is just simply, out of this world. Maybe Aomine hasn't notice yet, the strange soft expression he makes when Kise stood on the court, the way his eyes beamed with glee and excitement when the blonde had started to show his skills. He never looked so thrilled before unless he was playing against Kagami. But there was just a difference with the way he looked at Kise. And Kise was the same. But in Kise's eyes Momoi knew for sure about one thing—

Admiration

Yes, that's totally it. The blonde looked at Aomine like he was some superhuman or some exciting action movie. Then that admiration was flaming up into something Momoi could only describe as passion. He had seen Aomine with a lot of people, she had seen him with his parents, with Kagami, with the team, with elderlies, with women and with his classmates, but there was just nothing compared to the way he is with Kise. Like he was more relaxed, more Daiki than Aomine. He look more normal that way. And somehow Momoi felt happy for her friend.

"This isn't the way to your place."

Kise has inevitably a photographic memory, this was the reason why he could quickly remember one thing that is showed to him in a short period of time. He knew the way the street looked on the way to Aomine's apartment and that's sure isn't the street they were in. It was getting dark, Kise wondered what Aomine has in mind, the latter had been quiet all the while. Well there wasn't much to talk to but at least he should be informed of where they were going. "Na, Aominecchi." Kise called again, he saw Aomine's shoulder stiffened. Oh so he can hear me—Kise thought. "Say, Aominecchi where are we—"

"Can you stop asking?"

"But this isn't the way to your place, you said were going home."

"Does it matter?"

"Yeah, what if you would sell me to those who does human experiment and then they would change my biological composition, and—and they'll put on auction—"

Aomine clasped Kise's mouth with his hand stopping the blonde from further sputtering nonsense. Aomine raised a brow at the other, "Where the fuck did you learn all those shit?" Aomine asked before removing his hand.

"Sumi-san."

"Sumi, what?" Aomine asked, "Who the heck is that?"

"He's on your team Aominecchi!"

"Seriously?"

Kise could not tell if Aomine was joking or he wasn't just that good in remembering names. "But stop listening to those weirdos." Aomine said sighing, "I don't know what they put in that head of yours and I am 200% sure that you will believe them."

"Do they have a reason to lie?"

"Its not like it's a lie—"

"So you're selling me to use as a live specimen?"

"No!"

"But you said—"

"Not like that okay."

"Then how?"

Aomine sighed, the problem with angels, they just don't have human logic, or their too simple and think too straight to the point it doesn't even make sense. "Okay, I'm not gonna sell you to some weird people that will use you for whatever Sumi said, but you gotta be careful because I there really are some weirdo who does that."

"Humans are scary, huh?"

"Hey not all!"

"Aominecchi's scary too."

"Ha!"

The blonde laughed at Aomine's reaction, he looked completely ridiculous yet Kise cant really say ugly. Kise's an angel, okay and he's very sensitive when it comes to aesthetic stuffs and well, Aomine's kinda handsome—okay, very handsome. The blonde smiled at the other as the other reached to him and started ruffling his hair, "Hey!" Kise complained as he tried to pry Aomine's hands away but since the blue haired male was obviously taller Kise's attempt failed numerous times. "You're unfair!"

"You're being snarky!" Aomine said enjoying the way Kise cannot have a proper comeback.

"Stooooop!" Kise whinned.

Aomine finally let go of the other smiled in triumph, "You cheeky brat better be careful with your remarks."

"Brat? But I'm older than you."

"Same differenece."

"No its not!"

Aomine laughed heartedly at Kise, wait…laugh? He…feels, just like that, happy. That's weird. When was he as happy as this? When was the last time he was this happy? He could not remember, but when he try to think about happy everything that registers to his head was a certain blonde haired angel. Was that their powers too? Well, honestly, whatever. Its not like he cares much about what was behind him. Things that were in past, that doesn't matter. Its nice to reflect in them ones and while but, that's the past and nothing can actually change them—not even God probably. Aomine stopped in front of a café, without a second thought Aomine opened the door and step in smiling as Kise mindlessly followed him while whinning about Aomine being disrespectful towards his elder. As if you look even an age older than me, Aomine thought chuckling to himself.

"Yeah, will you shut up?"

"That's rude you know!"

"Yeah."

Aomine said as he took a random seat making Kise aware that they were no longer outside the street, noticing the eyes that were on him Kise found himself blushing. Bowing his head in apology he took a seat narrowing his eyes to the tanned male. Aomine stifled a laugh, "That was rude."

"Mean." Kise said pouting, "You did it on purpose."

Aomine shrugged and chuckled, Kise smiled and saw a lady coming to their table. The woman asked for their order and Aomine ordered a two mocha frappe for both of them before handing a coupon. The woman turned to Kise with a smile that Aomine certainly identified as a flirting smile. The woman then quickly left to get their order. Kise propped his elbow on the table with his cheek against his palm as he watched the room with his amber eyes. Aomine could hear a faint noise probably the café playing a song, he turned and found Kise humming to the song.

"You sprinkle stardust in my pillow case

Its like a moonbeam brushes across my face."

Aomine quietly watched as Kise pointed out the song saying he likes it, honestly Aomine cannot really understand since the song was English and honestly he isn't any good in that area. But the way Kise smiled and hummed to the song, Aomine could not help but think—well, he looks unearthly beautiful.

"Were you dazzled by the same constellation

Did you and Jupiter conspired to get me

I think you and the moon and Neptune got it right

Cause now I'm shinning bright."

Amber colored eyes that look awfully similar to the color of honey when its exposed to the sun, and his blonde hair that was so reminded him so much of sunlowers. Kise turned to the massive glass window next to him pointing something across the street, he chuckled raising a hand to his lips. A smile as bright as a sun, if Kise isn't beautiful Aomine had no idea what else to you call something so…so dazzling, so seamless. Aomine's thought was cut when the woman returned and brought their order. The woman smiled at Kise again putting a suspicious tissue paper down on Kise's side before bowing and returning to her station.

"She's nice." Kise said following her with his eyes, Aomine frowned as he heard the other. "She smiled at me, Aominecchi."

"Yeah, saw that."

"Hm, maybe humans aren't that bad." Kise said smiling wide.

Aomine sighed sipping on his drink looking at the blonde who seems oblivious the waitress was flirting with him. He turned his eyes towards the tissue the waitress laid, surely underneath that she wrote her number, looking back at Kise the other just smiled and sipped in his drink. Aomine almost choked as he saw an imaginary sparkle in those beautiful honey dew eyes. "Wow this is so delicious!" Kise exclaimed happily. Aomine could not help but laugh at the other.

"You're just pft—" Aomine rasied a hand to stop the impending erratic laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" Kise said feeling quite self-conscious with the way Aomine laughed. Did he say something strange? The drink was truly delicious, so what's the big deal. Aomine shook his head and moved to reach for a tissue on their table and leaned towards Kise. Kise blinked as Aomine towers over him, in reflex the angel pressed his back to his seat staring at the mesmerizing navy blue eyes. They reminded him of the night sky in the vast dessert. For a second Kise found himself holding his own breath.

"And I get lost

In your eyes."

Aomine wiped the smudge in the corner of Kise's lips, for a second he could not help but notice Kise had this kind of lips you see in models in magazine, but it was less looking red it looks natural, just quite rosy, moist but not like lipgloss moist, just normal moist. Shaking his head out of it Aomine felt a blush creeping in his face, what on earth was he thinking. He sat back to his seat, looking at Kise the other looked as surprised as he was a shade of pink dusted across his cheeks, he fumbled with the hem of shirt before he took wrapped his hands on the cup of his drink.

Fuck logic—Aomine cursed under his breath as he tried to compose his racing heart, "T-There was s-something on your face." Aomine mentally slapped himself for stuttering. That was so not cool.

Kise only nodded stealing a glance at Aomine.

What's wrong with my heart, its beating so fast!

…

After their short—not a date—eating out the two quickly left the café, Kise urged the other to return their some other time. Aomine sighed, there was practically no saying no to Kise Ryouta anyways, if he refused he would surely not shut up about it. Kise was still humming the same song as they walked side by side on their way to Aomine's apartment. After the awkward moment they had then seems like the blonde still was cool with him, well honestly Aomine couldn't have it any other way. He ccould not help but to smile to the way Kise hummed and smiled at that stupid melody. Paying solely all his attention to Kise, the blue haired teen didn't realized a raven haired man walking directly towards him when suddenly—

THUD!

"Ah!" Kise's eyes widen as he saw the dark haired young man fell to his buttock while Aomine was still on his two feet. "Are you okay?"

The raven haired man stood up, Kise with his innate kindness quickly helped the man to gather his things, it was a paper bag filled with clothes. "Sorry, I wasn't looking." The man said. "Its okay, I can do that."

"Sorry." Aomine apologized.

"No its okay, I wasn't looking, half my fault."

Kise finally collected all the things in the paper bag when suddenly he noticed something sticking out in one of the clothes. "Thank you but I gotta go." The raven haired guy said taking the bag from Kise's hand. The guy scratched his head awkwardly, "I need to head to Shin-chan impromptu." He said before waving goodbye and dashed away.

Kise stood there lost for words…he saw…a green, emerald green with a stain of pear green, he had only know one person that has that color of feather…only one. He may be jumping to conclusion but surely there would not a single currently animal that could have that huge feather, right?

Shin-chan?

Shin…

"Oi Kise we gotta—"

Shin…

Shintaro?

Midorima…Shinataro

"M-Midorimacchi." Kise gasped as the thought sunk in his head.

Aomine raised an eyebrow, he didn't quite catch what Kise said until suddenly Kise grabbed his upper arms staring at him with, "W-What's with you?"

"Its Midorimacchi!" Kise announced, "Midorimacchi's here, in this town!"
