Masters and Servants

Chapter Five

"Be gentle with me, Tetsuya."

Red eyes looked up at him. Patient. Loving.

But no, he didn't love the male back. He loved someone else. He was just using the male right beneath him. So he kissed him. He entered him.

The red-haired male bent to his will, unlike what the young captain would never do to anyone else.

He never thought that he will be the one to fall hard.

"It's you that I want, Akashi-kun..."

...

Kuroko blinked in the darkness. It was already morning but the summer made the air warm to his skin. He slipped out of his bed noiselessly, seeing perfectly well even though it was almost pitch black.

That was what happened, until the lights of the room flickered open.

"Where are you going?" Kagami asked the light-haired boy as he stood by the light switches.

Kuroko blinked rapidly as his wide pupils immediately adjusted at the onset of light. He turned his head towards the tall red-haired vampire hunter. "You know where, Kagami-kun," the smaller male said when his light blue eyes fell on the familiar open light blue envelope on the hand of the redhead. "I took you as a prying person, Kagami-kun, but I didn't know that it's to this extent..."

"What...?" Kagami looked at the envelope in his hand that Kuroko was staring at. "What do you mean by that? This got my name too!"

Kuroko didn't speak as he rose from his bed. "So are you going with me, Kagami-kun?"

"Of course," Kagami replied. He raised a closed fist at Kuroko's direction. "It's still a short time, but we're partners, right?"

Kuroko blinked. He kept his mouth shut but bumped Kagami's fist with a gratefull feeling in his heart.

That explained why two vampire hunters of Seirin was on their way out of the city that their organization was protecting. It was the usual roads lined by tall grass on each side. The wind made them sway and brought the smell of grass and earth with it.

Kagami looked back for a moment. The Seirin had been his home for a few months, the very first when he had arrived in Japan from the land of stars and stripes. And now, it was the first time he would leave the headquarters.

"Are you scared, Kagami-kun?" came a voice from his side. Kagami almost choked in surprise, but remembered that it was only Kuroko. How could he forget about the little guy when only the light-haired boy was his companion for the trip? "You can go back if you're homesick already. I won't stop you."

"What the heck?" Kagami said. "I'm not homesick! OR scared!"

Kuroko stared at the redhead. "You don't have to worry about coming with me, Kagami-kun. Aida-san didn't really required you to come with me. And I highly doubt that 'that' organization would need help from a small one like ours."

"I don't know if I should be offended by how you can straight-facedly call our organizaton small..."

"Well, it is small, Kagami-kun," Kuroko said. He started walking and Kagami automatically followed him. "I know that you've heard of the name Kaijo."

"Yeah. One of the powerhouse here in Tokyo. Also one with a vampire from Teiko as a resident vampire hunter," Kagami said. It was almost the textbook definition of the organization. "It's the organization we're supposed to assist, right? Though I wonder why they'd need our help..."

"Yes." Kuroko said. "As you've said, Kaijo's a powerhouse. It would be a question why they would send a request for assistance to us."

"Hmm, now you've got me thinking..." Kagami said. "Anyway, aren't we going to use our bikes? It'll be faster to reach Kaijo that way."

"That's because..." Kuroko started saying. But a roar drowned out his voice.

Kagami startled looked at the incoming car. It was yellow. Not horribly yellow, but yellow nonetheless.

It was a Lamborghini Aventador. What the heck is an Italian sports car doing in the country side?

Before Kagami could mull over what was happening, the door of the sports car opened. A blond male - easily mistaken for a model with the neat silky hair, towering height, equally yellow eyes that seemed not to belong in this world. And Kagami did not fail to notice that killer smile that can sweep any lady off her feet.

That was, until the male model turned his gold eyes upon the light blue haired boy just beside Kagami and yelled in a rather chirpy loud voice, "Kurokochi!"

"Kuroko..." Kagami repeated as he watched the rather tall blonde male launched himself childishly on the monotone partner of his. "...chi?"

"Ah, yes, let me introduce you two," Kuroko said. He looked unaffected even if it looked like the larger blond male was clinging and putting all his weight on the light-blue haired male. "Kise-kun, this is Kagami Taiga, a vampire hunter and my partner from Seirin organization. Kagami-kun, this is Kise Ryouta, the resident vampire and a vampire hunter of Kaijo organization."

"I missed you, Kurokochi!" Kise looked at Kagami, who was staring back weirdly at him. "Who's this?"

"I already introduced you two," Kuroko said before Kagami could utter anything. "Kise-kun, this is Kagami Taiga, a vampire hunter and my partner from Seirin organization."

Kise blinked at Kagami for a while. "I don't really care about humans... Why do you have a human for a partner, Kurokochi?"

"What?!"

"Don't you have a partner, Kise-kun?"

"I don't. My captain, Kasamatsu-senpai, is taking care of me though!" Kise replied. "Anyway Kurokochi, I've come to fetch you~"

Kagami clenched his fists. "Hey, don't ignore me!"

"The car you've brought is only a two-seater though," Kuroko noted, looking at the yellow sports car. "Kagami-kun is coming with us so I guess we just have to ride our bikes while following your car to Kaijou HQ."

"What? This human is coming with us?" Kise shot Kagami a glare, which made Kagami gulp and ready to do some blond vampire extermination. It sure was a murderous glare. "And here I thought we'd be in a date..."

Kuroko turned to the blond male. "You already know that I'm Akashi-kun's lover, Kise-kun."

"Akashichi..." Kise frowned. He stared into Kuroko's eyes questioningly. "But isn't Akashichi already...?"

"Hey, I said don't ignore me!"

Kise narrowed his eyes at Kagami. "Fine. That human is going with us." He turned back to Kuroko. "You can ride my car, Kurokochi!"

"No, I think it'll be good if I bring my bike with me."

Kise sighed to himself. "That means no date with Kurokochi, huh..."

It had been quite a difficult ride. Kise's car attracted attention on the road, not only on appearance but with its unique quality sound as well. And apparently, Kagami's idea of the vampire being a model was true when a flock of girls crowded around Kise, demanding the blond for pictures and autograph. The three had decided to stop in a chain of Maji Burger near the highway for some lunch when they were hoarded by the girls.

It took them quite some running - and rude indignant shouts from Kagami - to get away from the girls. Kuroko expectedly fled easily from the crowd of girls with his little presence.

"I've got to learn your ability someday, Kurokochi," Kise said, huffing as he leaned on the hood of his car. Kuroko stood just beside him and Kagami, who was also huffing. The light-blue haired boy offered the two boys each a bottle of Pocari that he got from a vending machine.

"Does... Does that always happen?" Kagami asked. He accepted the drink from Kuroko gratefully, chugging almost half of the bottle in one go.

"Not recently," Kise said. "I just became a model few months ago. I wasn't a model when I was in Teiko."

"Many tried to recruit you then, though," Kuroko put in.

Kise laughed. "Yeah, they did. But I was still under Aominechi's guidance, so..."

"You were under that bastard's guidance?!" Kagami yelled. That toasted vampire was 'guiding' someone? "Whatever do you mean by that?!"

"How ruuude!" Kise said. Despite the playful tilt in his tone, his stare on Kagami was as murderous as earlier that the redhead felt all his being tense under the vampire gaze. "Aominechi's my master! I don't appreciate a mere human like you calling him a bastard!"

"Master... you mean...?"

"Yes, Kagami-kun. Kise-kun is a second-degree vampire," Kuroko said helpfully. "It was Aomine-kun who turned him, therefore Aomine-kun is his master."

"And I'm the only one Aominechi's turned!" Kise said happily. "I've got to tell you, he's from a respected vampire family. His father is said to be the one who formed Teiko with-"

"Kise-kun."

"Ah." Kise placed both his hands childishly over his mouth that Kagami found it adorable. Scratch that. The redhead did not fucking find a male vampire almost as tall himself as anything close to 'adorable'.

Kuroko stared at Kagami, blinking slightly.

"What?"

There was traces of a teasing smile on Kuroko's lips. "Nothing."

But then the phantom walked and stopped just beside Kagami. He pulled Kagami lower to whisper to his ear.

"If you're serious about your feelings to Kise-kun, I'll fully support you."

"WHAT?!" Kagami yelled, drawing back from Kuroko like the smaller male could burn. Trying too hard to think of a different topic, he managed to whisper back, "You're a second-degree vampire too, right? Then you have a master too. Who is it?"

Kuroko's reaction surprised Kagami. This time, it was Kuroko who seemed to be burned and would coil away if not for the self-control of the pale male.

"Hey, that's unfair!" Kise yelled, glomping on the smaller vampire. "I'm want to hear too! Why are you whispering secrets to each other?"

"Ah, it's n-nothing, Kise-kun," Kuroko replied.

Even Kise was looking at Kuroko weird, like he knew something that Kagami didn't. But then the blond vampire suddenly offered Kuroko his water bottle. "Want to have a drink, Kurokochi? We can have an indirect kiss!"

Kagami made face at that.
