NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

-Kuroko POV-

i watch the scenery outside through the window of the passenger seat of Akashi's car with Adrian standing on the seat between my seat while i support his body by holding his torso, with his little hands leaning on the window watching as well, babbling about what he is seeing, though i couldn't understand his words every once in a while he would mention my name and i'd reply or pointing out something he would like seeing.

We are now in Akashi's car with Momoi driving, just before we were about to leave deciding to take Sangou along because of the baby's demands. Akashi offered to use his car, i didn't know how to drive so i intended to decline the offer but Momoi beat me to it by skipping towards Akashi hands out for the keys.

Momoi and Akashi's closeness made my heart grip which confused me, could they be in a relationship? Hiding it from me?.

It was silly of me to be jealous or whatever, i mean it would be understandable for Akashi to move on, Momoi-san has grown into a beautiful woman, she has always been beautiful but maturity has added to her charm as well as intelligence well fitting for Akashi. So it shouldn't be too hard to comprehend it i mean i've been missing and presumed dead by everyone for the past 14 years it's obvious he would move on, everybody did. I shouldn't be surprised.

A sudden surge of unease and anxiety washes over me, hitting me like a over speeding train.

I can't freak out now, not in front of Momoi and Adrian, especially Adrian. My thoughts making me even more anxious adding to being inside a car. Closed tiny space is one of the things im meant to avoid. I had to be sedated for throughout my fight to japan!

The whole reason i wantd to take Adrian with me so he could occupy my mind when i had to take the bus, at least the bus was bigger than a car, why must Akashi offer his car!?

'because his girlfriend is with you' a voice in my head says.

God damn you brain! You are not helping !

I had known heartbreak would trigger a panic attack on me i would've avoided the subject!

I feel tiny hands touch both side of me face and suddenly my mind blanks and zeros in on Adrians innocent face wondering what was ogng on with me, he noticed my sudden labour breath and wide eyes.

"Techuu, babbagahhh boohboobuubooo Papa?"

"yeah Tetsu-kun ... are you alright? Do we need to call Dmitri?", Momoi gives me a quick side glance ready to made a sharp U-turn.

"Arf!", Sangou who was sitting who is sitting on the floor of the car by my feet, decides to leap up to my lap, Adrian making way for the pup. Now Adrian is sitting on my left leg while Sangou sits on my right leg, instinctively i supported them both.

Sangou then stood with his two back legs and used his two front ones to lean on my chest so he could poke his moist nose on my chin then licked the spot comforting me. His gesture warmed my heart, reminding me of how Nigou used to do.

Tears welled in my eyes which i desperately held back. But a single tear managed to break out and ran down from my left cheek this time it was Adrian stood and caught the rule breaking tear from my face. I hate thought of Adrian knowing how to catch tears. Probably from the many times Dmitri has done it for me, i hated crying but not as much as how much i despise crying infront of this ever so happy baby.

That little gesture from this innocent pure child in my arms, made my heartbreak but in a good way, i have decided there is a good types of heartbreaks, they are basically the opposite of bad heartbreaks, the good ones are the ones that gives you hope and pushes you to live on without those. I would've probably been dead years ago.

Taking the adorable creatures on my lap, i hooked my arms around both of them and gave them a tight squeeze, they sense my lightened mood and began to squirm, giggle and yelp. How can anyone be depressed when being showered by love by an adorable loving baby and puppy. i mean who doesn't like babies!? If there is such a person they should be arrested and confined away from society.

"you two are my saviours! Who needs medication when i have you two to relieve me from stress!?", ok i probably said too much.

"Tetsuya, you're on medication?", Momoi ask in a too soft voice, i've shocked her. It's only fair since she's missing details as we speak, im sure she would've stayed with the guy with Dmitri, but since her possibly Boyfriend is there anyway, she can always get them from him.

Keeping a calm demeanour keeping rom worrying the little ones again, this time i've calmed dow considerably, but the anxiety was still there but controllable.

"yeah, it's the whole reason why i needed to go to the doctors today, to get registered and get prescription, my kind of medication needs a doctor and Licensed Therapist approval, well at least i need to show them my documents from Russia."

"is it really bad?", this time Momoi's voice seem shaky, i've upsetted her.

I look down to check Adrian i he's alright, if he noticed Momoi. I was relieved to see that he seem to be dozing off, probably due to his early rising today looks like it's almost naptime. I adjust my back seat so im abit slanted back so Adrian can lie on my chest comfortably and take a nap. He snuggles in on my chest, finally sighing and closed his eyes. I feel the baby's slow breath indicating he's finally asleep, i also noticed Sangou has settled himself in the gap between my legs and lied his little head on my right leg also taking a nap.

They're so adorable. Maybe Dmitri should just move here. It would be heartbreaking if these two could never see one another again and forget each other. It's not like Sanja cares... the bitch.

Kicking aside the evil wench's existence from my thoughts i continue my conversation with Momoi now that Adrian can't witness anymore tears. I don't want him catching anymore tears.

"i wont lie, Momoi-san, too much has happened in the last almost 14 years, too much", i paused taking a calming breath, just a little at a time.

"my physical wounds has healed as well as the temporary damages, it took a while but it's healed, though there are permanent damages, a few but every one of them has broken my spirit. One, my hip, two, my arm, three my right eye. Now, which one would you like to hear of first.", i hear Momoi swallow nervously and saw her grip on the steering wheel tighten making her knuckles white also her back was straight as a ruler making her look posture very stiff.

"your arm, number two.", makes sense, Momoi is an excellent analyser, she would want to know if i can still be a shadow.

"i thought you would want to know that first.", i sigh, im not one to sugar coat things everyone knows that. " and no, my right arm can no longer withstand such impact from my passes, when the crash happened-", at the mention of 'The Crash' i saw from the corner of my eye how her hand near me twitched a little, he glossed lips are also set in a grim line." -The right side of my body took most o the damage, especially my right arm, it was basically crushed, fingers dislocated, hand and wrist broken, cuts and bruises and my elbow was broken.", to prove my upcoming point, i pull out a plastic card looking advertising card with a magnet on the back, it was a pizza place fridge magnet, from the side drawer careful not to disturb the slumbering baby puppy.

Momoi notices she watches as i placed the magnet against my elbow and saw it stick there when i let go, i saw the surprise on her ace she stared, she refocus on the road and drove to park on the side of the road so she could focus on the magnet still sticking to my arm. She stare a few more second looking around to see if there was some sort of trick.

Finally she took at magnet from my arm, she makes a small gasp from the pull of the magnet, cautiously she gently grabs my long sleeved arm to check i there was something there to hold the magnet.

i studied her features, all the emotions that crossed her face. she held my elbow unable to look at me in the face her hair like a curtain covering her face now, she was holding her emotons in making her shoulders shake.

Gently moving my arm away from her gentle grasps so i could hook it around her and pulled her into a hug. giving her a few moments to compose herself.

"we should really go to the doctors now we can continue later on."

-General POV-

"I don't get why you have to talk to use instead of Tetsu, it just doesn't make sense!" Aomine exclaimed, who basically said what is going on in Everyone else's mind.

so far Dmitri had been in the sidelines ever since he arrive last night. but something told them that he is way more than he appears to be.

the way Kuroko interacts with him and his son, it was certainly familial. also how their limited conversations with Kuroko last night ust always mentioned 4 people, his grandparents and the father and son.

"how about i introduce myself first", dmitri chuckled," I am Dmitri Marcovic, I worked as Mr. Ivanov, Tetsu's grandfather's lawyer, i was saved by Mr. Ivanov from the streets provided me of a home and education, i took my education seriously let's just say other than being an excellent lawyer, I am a jack of all trades the story is currently unimportant but let's just say i am greatly indebted to Mr. Ivanov he was like a Father, he has passed now and now i work or Tetsu."

In the Contrary Akashi would like to know more about this man, the man who has been beside Kuroko throughout the Shadow's recovery.

"man it's so weird your Japanese is so fluent it's so weird, i mean back when Kuroko and i used to play in Seirin, we met this guy we call Outo-san and he understood japanese but has trouble speaking.", said Kagami.

"Ah yes, one of my duties with Tetsu was beig his tutor, he never went to school in Russia, mostly because the cold weather upsets him he had trouble with his body with the irst few years. so when i was hired by , i homeschooled Tetsu, one of his lessons was Russian, in return he taught me Japanese."

"wait, shouldn't he have been taught by a qualified tutor, i mean yeah as a lawyer you are smart, but why you", Midorima states, crossing his arms. The Green head makes quick eye contact with their former captain then giving Dmitri a stern look.

Dmitri notices this. He was impressed ,though not surprised. the past year while helping Kuroko 'prepare' for his move, Dmitri took the liberty to research the progress of Kuroko's friends for the past 14 years.

they all have their own careers and successful, none of them really don't need to work but they choose to work anyway because that would be boring for them.

what most intrigues Dmitri was, Midorima Shintaro and Akashi Seijuro. mostly Akashi's 'Influences'.

[Line Break]

-Kuroko POV-

We have arrived in at the hospital, it was a town away from where i live and according to Momoi this was one of the best in Japan and it was also one of Midorima's Hospital Branch, Which mean's Midorima will get reports and records that i will be giving to the Hospital. i know the are finding out about me this very moment. the extent is a whole different story, and knowing Akashi he'll 'Order' Midorima to hand them over.

"Ok babe, you and Sangou need to stay here and be good little kids and don't give Aunt Momoi a hard time, Alright?", I say to Adrian as i set him down the passenger seat, which automaically tries to et close to me, but he listened to my instructions, concentrating on my words, he was still learning words, but he was good at gestures.

when i say 'stay' i firmly placed him down his seat and ruffled his sot baby hair and pinched his baby cheeks indicating for him to be a good baby. luckily he understood, but it doesn't mean he liked the idea, when he realized i was leaving him his little chubby face scrunched up indicating an imminent full on tantrum. Tears appeared but before a sob could come out his pouting lips, i bent down on my hunches where i stood just outside the passenger seat so my face is in level with his, i held his chubby waist catching his attention.

"teecchuuu~"

"Adrian"

"abbamm techuu"

"techuu cure booboo"... this phrase was the phrase that i used back when this situation happened in the past, when i had to leave to go for check ups, Adrian would refuse to let me leave, so Dmitri and I came up with this phrase to use on Adrian, unfortunately it also mean Adrian had to see some of my wounds, he has only seen my right arm where lots of my scars are. Learning about scars at a young age was not something i wanted of Adrian, but it better than having him come along so he could see the full extent of wounds, just seeing my torso wold cause trauma.

So when i go swimming i wear a Wet suit with long sleeve shirt, and shorts.

"teshuu, cue?", Adrian lays his little arms on my hands which are sill holding onto his waists, they looked so cute his whole arms just reaching from my hand just passing my wrists, his tiny hands gripping sill reluctant at letting me leave.

"mm-hm, techuu, cure booboo"

"boo?", he momentarily looks down like he was thinking it over but i already know i've already won this.

"will you be good for Techuu?", once again, using my let hand to pinch his cheek.

"I-Yan, goo~", accepting that answer, i stood up and picked up the puppy to place hi ext to Adrian so hey could play.

"ok Momoi-san, he's all your ill be back in probably 20-30 minutes, he'll be good." I smiled at the pinkette by the driver's seat.

"you are so good with the little guy it's so adorable", Momoi replied looking teary eyed at what she has witnessed and then she added. " you would be a really great dad".

Well that hit me hard on the balls, like literally. I've been sapped with the fact that im sterile. It's better to not let her know about that little fact. And that's my cue to head out.

"well ok i'll just go on off now", i gently closed the door making sure neither of the adorable beings on the passenger seat won;t get hurt. " and if Adrian get bored, his bag is on the floor here it has toys and snack, do NOT let him have more than two bags of peanut butter biscuits "

"yessir!"

-General POV-

[at this point Dmitri has talked about 5 years since Kuroko's disappearance, Check out Chapter 4 what went down]

"so to sum it up, Tetsu's first 5 years in Russia was basically spent Healing Physically and Mentally, getting into terms with himself, and getting to know his granparents.", concludes's Dmitri, one again out of countless times of studying each and everyone's reactions. "before i proceed, is there anything any o you would like to ask?"

The Emperor studies his former team mates – 'there's something seem to be missing in this story, somethings are unclear, starting with Dmitri Marcovic himself.

Himuro and Takao has decided to just get busy with making dinner or everyone since there is quite a lot of them they have decided they don't need to listen to this story and rather focus on the task afterwards, which is comforting their partners. They also took the liberty on going to kise's penthouse down below to grab Equipment since they noticed Kuroko's Kitchen is still missing a few necessities, and he most certainly do not have enough plates for all of them.

Akashi checks his wrist watch and found out it has been 3 hours sine they started their intervention. It is now just after 3. So far Akashi has remained quiet and just listened carefully, though emotionless everyone knew that the former 'Vorpal swords' captain is ready to kill and pissed cuz he does not know who to kill.

Sensing that everyone seem to be not in the condition to speak ater finding out that, their Kuroko Has amnesia, sure he may remembers them, but what is hurting Kuroko's former team members was that Kuroko no longer Knows them.

Clearing his throat to gather everyone's attention. "I have a question, well a few rather." Says the red head.

"first question is, did Tetsuya know he had Russian relations before the aciddent?"

Dmitri's eyes seem to darken a little causing the atmosphere around him that had a professional lawyer kind of feel seem to change into something more intense, But the Emperor was unfazed by it.

"No, I believe he did not know", replies cautiously, suddenly Tetsuya's words popped in his mind.

'you can't really hide anything from akashi for long, Akashi is absolute"

And after that Adrian smacked Kuroko in on the face and they couldn't discuss it any further because the Demanding baby began to fuss and distracted both of them.

'looks like Tetsu was right, Akashi-kun is already catching onto something and aren't even half way through.', thought the Russian man, ' but then again, aside from being naturally extremely intelligent, he does he is a multiple PHD like me'.

"Ah, i see", Akashi nods making a thoughtful look, " ok then, second question, you see you got to help me get my head around this, so as a CEO of a top class Empire, i have many Lawyers, like you, Dmitri." Akashi Addresses the lawyer with his first name at the same time activating his Emperor Eye, causing his let eye to turn dangerously golden, his ormer team mates notices this and instantly put their guards up.

For the past years Akashi has used his Emperor Eye to detect intentions of other business owners who presents ideas Akashi's intentions, or when he wants to work faster or during self defence because attempts against his life has occurred and with his added knowledge in human psychology his Emperor Eye has turned into a very useful lie detector and threat detector.

" you see i have many lawyers, and i've seen many lawyers, most lawyers are very intelligent, look at Shintaro here Dmitri." Akashi gestures towards Midorima and Dmitri does. "his atmosphere radiates intelligence and sophistication. Now Dmitri my question is to you."

Suddenly Akashi radiates an aura that shows that his is absolute, and just like Akashi, Dmitri was unfazed but instead fired his own aura even more still remaining quiet.

"As a lawyer, yes you have a strong aura of an extra ordinarily intelligent lawyer, but how come you are able to radiate so much Murderous Intent?".

Dmitri's green eyes seem to not only darken more, shocking everyone but Akashi, Dmitri's let eye changed into color into dark brown, and just like Akashi's red rings, Dmitri had Golden rings in his eyes.

Dmitri smirks in amusement and replies sarcastically sounding the same but also very different to himself," probably the same way a Wealthy CEO of an Empire and head of a Prestigious family is able to Throw sharp objects with extreme Accuracy and radiate a Demonic presence, Aka-shi-kun".

A long stare off began between two Emperors while the CEO holds a pair of scissor by the blade imagining it embedded in the Russian mans skull while the other smiles with a carefree expression but at the same time menacing.

Making everyone else in the room not want to be there that moment.

-Kuroko POV-

"here's your medicine sir, enjoy the rest of your day", i grab the full paper bag from a the woman who was working behind the counter of the pharmacy, she smiled as she handed the bag over to me but it was noticeable that she was surprised at how fucked my mentality be if i needed 3 types of 'mental vitamins', oh or 'mental support medicine' oh oh ! my favourite term for them 'mental supplements'!

She must also be wondering why i not in a straight jacket and talking to my pet rock, I've done that before though, my lowest point when i got too hopped up on my meds.

As i made my way out of the pharmacy which was in the hospital, i made my way to the car while checking the contents of my bag.

Ramelteon for my insomnia, it was just o help me sleep, it don't seem to be a problem fro the past month but it was just to be sure.

Budeprion XL- this one is or my depression, back then i started out when i was just morbidly depressed 24/7, but now i have SAD, Seasonal Affective Depression, for me im a depressed during the winter season, which begins, soon on December. It was probably it was the middle of winter when the accident happened.

Tricyclics and Tetracyclics- for my panic and anxiety disorder.

I also got some vitamins for myself and vitamins for Adrian the gummy bear kind!

Condoms, well a guy's gotta be prepared, not that im a threat at impregnating someone since my factory is broken, girl's won't take the i'm sterile card easily, trust issues, also condoms to make things less messy if ever i end up with another guy or the night. But really these babies is just incase.

Lube for said condoms... p.s. hide these away from Adrian.

Some stock for my first aid kit.

Eye drops for my right eye contact lens, ever since receiving Dedushka's cornea my right eye has slow became blurry so now i have contact lenses i also have glasses for back up.

As i turn the corner where the car is parked as i got closer i saw Momoi inside the car who is clearly entertaining someone on the passenger seat who could not be seen because of his tiny size.

Momoi notices my advances and smile, her lips splits into a wide smile at the figure on the passenger seat she point at me and sure enough i see a tuff of a familiar brown hair and make eye contact with Adrian who is leaning on the dash board.

I laughed at how cute he is being making me want to squeeze him !

Open the passenger door and Adrian immediately unceremoniously dives at me not caring i might have not caught him, and thank god i did catch him when i successfully threw the bag on the passenger seat floor so i could. Pulling him into a secure hug.

"I-yan! That was dangerous !"

Not caring for my lecturing tone he proceeds to bite my cheek.

"how was the appointment?", Momoi asks me as i sat, put on my seatbelt and settled Adrian and Sangou on my lap again.

"great actually, there are no signs of complication with my legs, and that my 5 year mark, which means my legs are in the clear, though my right eye is no longer getting any more blurry, i might actually stat using glasses, to lessen my list of thing to maintain my body", i sighed as i list down all the meds and supplements i take counting i my head.

Momoi starts the car and now next in our list is to go shopping for stuff or my penthouse.

"Tetsu-kun, you really are amazing, even though you have been too much, all by yourself. you managed to find yourself a new family and new friends and new life, you got up and continued to live. Yes you may still be living with your hardship, just know that none of us care that you're not the same Tetsu-kun that left us, what matters is that Tetsu-kun returned, and just so you know we all changed probably not as drastic as you did but ... we all changed."

I stared at this Mature pink haired woman, in my memory she was the girl who is in love with me for some reason, she was an intelligent analyser, childhood friend of my very first light, Aomine, a terrible cook. I wonder how much is still the same about her?

[Line break]

-Akashi POV-

Dmitri Marcovic, Friend of Tetsuya, a Lawyer, Married with a son, strangely enough this baby don't seem to demand for its mother but demands for Tetsuya and lastly he holds an Emperor's eye.

"okaayy, i did not see that coming", Kagami drawls, looking between the two men having the most intense staring contest in the world.

"tell me, Dmitri, how come it took Tetsuya's grandparents 17 years to meet with their only daughter's son, since they seem to be wealthy, how come they never visited frequently, how come Tetsuya lived a mundane life of a commoner instead of living in luxury like he does now, and from what i've heard it is absolutely unheard of to let a puppy to run around a hospital unless he wasn't in a hospital.", i argued to Dmitri. " i mean Tetsuya wouldn't know, he was temporarily blind on his only working eye back then.", i finished applying more pressure onto the unyielding Older man.

There was a long suffocating silence surrounding their group, i remained unaffected and so was Dmitri, yes this man was definitely a force not to be messed with, but I am Absolute. It was no secret that my name is indeed a powerful one but my friends are still unclear with all of it's details, only Shintaro and Satsuki are more informed than the rest.

Dmitri does the unexpected, he chuckled at my taunting. Son of a... he was ready for this.

"hehe", his deathly aura falls and he was back to the goofy friend of Tetsuya image, Emperor eye deactivated. "it seems like Tetsu was right about not being able to hide anything for long, when Akashi-kun is involved.", Dmitri leans back on his seat letting his guard down crossing his arms around the back of his head smiling.

I leered at the man, he's a bit too calm... he still has the high ground it seems.

"and trust me i tried my best or you not to catch on anything and im known to be really good at hiding things too.", Dmitri Sighed once again serious but not menacing. "Tetsu found out about Mr Ivanov's group 5 years later, when he was almost kidnapped."

I feel something snap in me and my calm superior demeanour collapsed. There was a collective gasps rom everyone and some curses.

"the thing was there were hidden bodyguards that Tetsu never knew until that moment when they hat to rescue prevent the kidnap. Naturally, Tetsu was shocked, though Mr. Ivanov refused to involve his grandson, that was mostly the reason why Tetsu was kept in the compound ..."

"compound!?", i cut him off, " what in blazes do you mean about compound!?", my voice bega to grow louder.

"The reason why The Kuroko Family was summoned was for Kuroko Tetsuya to claim his birth right, as the Successor, as the 9th generation Mafia Boss of Ivanov."

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Wow this story got complicated :

But all good ... fear not Kuroko ain't A mafia boss so don't judge too much ... so once again hopefully i wont take as long as i did to post this or the next chapter...

XD review and fave please
