Hello again!
Here I am with the third chapter, and if I tell you I've planned this fic to be an one-shot will you laugh at me? (XDD)
Disclaimer: I do not own Kuroko no Basuke, it's a Fujimaki Tadatoshi work.
Thanks to UseMyImagination and CherryPop0120 and all the followers!
Chater 3 re-up, because there was a BIG mistake before so I had to rewrite some parts.

Chapter 03: And Life goes on…
"What The hell-" Aomine yelled.
"…" Akashi narrowed his eyes.
Everyone's glance was static, looking at the figure that just appeared near them and was walking towards the group.
"Kagami-kun?" Kuroko eyes were widened, in surprise.
"Yeah. That's me…"
Kagami Taiga, Serin's ace was standing right in front of generation of miracles and despite the fact he had never felt any intimidation coming from GoM, with their new appearances, they looked quite intimidating, however he did not let that feeling of fear escape through his expression.
"Kagamicchi~!It's good to see you!" Kise smiled happily (although he was the only one who was smiling)
"Just what are you doing here?!"Aomine growled, irritated for seeing his archenemy's face.
"I'm the one who should be asking…" the redhead was astounded "What happened to you guys? I mean…Just what in hell happened to YOU all?" said frantically, with some displeasure in his tone.
"Again interrupting a friend's reunion…" The red haired captain said serious, looking down on Kagami.
"…"he glared at Teikou's former captain with fiery eyes, full of irritation of the older Akashi who was acting exactly like his younger form.
Akashi glared back and some kind of heavy mood was build up, the others could almost see the lasers coming out from their glances until someone interrupted calmly saying:
"But why did you come here?" Momoi blurted out, ignoring the bad mood surrounding Kagami.
"Well… I was going to Kuroko's house to ask why he didn't come to school today… Coincidentally when I was going back home I saw him talking with you all…" the redhead growled.
"Why haven't you showed up earlier?!" Aomine retorted
"Because…" he didn't say anything but gave a glance to the other red haired with mismatched yes and they understood immediately it was probably fear.
"B-By the way, why have you followed him?! It has nothing to do with you!"The tanned man howled
"Huh?" frowned his eyebrows even more. "It concerns me too!"
"Ah?!" the navy-haired used a gangster tone "No way!"
"It has!" he answered determined "Since Kuroko is a Seirin's player it's actually a big problem because he can't play basketball on high school in this form!"
"He is right" Midorima sighed.
"But we can't help now…" Kise said with a sad tone. "Kagamicchi it happened to all of us but we still don't know why…"
"D-don't know?" Kagami was still surprised seeing the new look of the GoM players.
It was true. Even though they had growth, any of them seemed happy.
"Anyone should have seen us in this form" the red haired man pronounced, catching GoM attention "Nor family, friends or anyone who is related to us." Completed. "However, since you already have seen you must not tell anyone about it, or…" he narrowed his eyes and didn't finish the sentence.
"Y-yes" he gulped nervous.
"But you can help now!" Momoi approached Seirin's ace dragging him in the situation.
They went near the fountain and then, Kise picked a coin from his pocket. They stated getting nervous, expecting to change as soon as he threw the coin inside the fountain, and there were a lot of coins inside that fountain already… They wondered how many people would have a problem by now…
Kise's hands were trembling. He squeezed his eyes and threw the little coin he was holding up until now into that fountain, but…
"So…" Aomine stared at Momoi "Did we change?"
"Eh~ Minechin is still the same" Murasakibara said in disappointment.
"I don't think it worked…" Kagami said worriedly.
"What do we do?!" the blonde was the most desperate among the others, putting his hands on his head, terrified.
"Maybe if we sleep, the same way we woke up as adults, when we wake up tomorrow…" a concerned tone came from Kuroko, even his expression had some preoccupation.
"But we can't go back home with such appearance…" the green haired furrowed his brows in uneasiness.
"Where are we going to stay this night?" the blonde made a sad face.
"Will we sleep on the street?" the purple haired asked like a child.
"We will find some place" the pink haired girl pitied the men and tried to cheer them up "You will sleep at a good place! If needed you can just go to an inn, don't worry!"
"It's not necessary…" Their leader sighed heavily.
Akashi took out his cellphone from his pocket and made a call. All the others looked at him in surprise, trying to wonder who he would call on that situation that could possibly solve their problem; however they knew very well that if it was him, he probably had some solution on his mind.
"Yes. It's me" he said in an unchanging tone to the person on the other side of the line.
Then, he stepped away from the others, and talked on the cellphone while GoM members were observing.
Everyone was absorbed into that conversation, although they couldn't listen the red haired nor what the person on the other side of the line was saying, they could imagine very well how that person must be feeling only by the expressions older Akashi did.
After finishing the call, he used the cellphone again and everyone looked at him puzzled, who would he call again and why? It took some time before he approached them again.
"Good. Call me when you finish your service." He finished the call and glanced at the GoM members. "I settled the matter about a place to sleep. It's a branch house from my family, but no one is there right now. We can stay there freely whilst we are in this form, no one will see us there. Also, I arranged an excuse to our families. If asked, just say that we all were on a summer training camp and I'll make up for our absence in school. You must say the same story in order to not let any suspicion about whatever happened here with us."
Kagami startled as he listened to Akashi, he still couldn't believe that in such short time he got a house and more, he already had solved the problem about the family getting worried about their absence in school.
"As expected of you…" Midorima sighed in relief, and he wasn't the only one who got relieved, the mood around all the miracles seemed to lighten.
"But-" the pinky haired girl interrupted their relieving moment "How will you turn back to your younger selves?"
"We will search about this fountain tomorrow…" the red haired captain said "That man who was here last time isn't here now, so there's no use in staying here longer, we should go to the house."
"And the coin I threw into the fountain? Are you implying it won't work?" Kise said with a pinch voice in protest.
"…" Akashi just gave a cold glance to him, making the blonde shiver.
Snip.
That disturbing sound came from the redhaired's pocket and everyone knew very well what that meant.
"I-I'm sorry Akashicchi, I didn't mean to say you were wrong… I-I'm really sorry!" he sweat dropped trembling.
"Anyway," Momoi butted in the situation before it worsened "You all must be tired, right? You should rest for today, it's already 10 P.M!" she spilled the words nervously.
"Y-yeah, I will help you guys…" Kagami said trying to ignore the killing intent emanating from Akashi.
Momoi and Kagami went to their own homes, with the promise of helping to find a way of turning them back.

It was not surprising that the house was enormous; after all, it was from Akashi's family. It was a wooden house in an old fashioned style. A classical Japanese house. They made a tour to see the available rooms at the place,
"There are many rooms in this place. You can pick any room you wish." Akashi said.
The heir of Akashi group vanished inside the dark house. The GoM members had chosen a room to stay, as told by the red haired. However any of them could sleep because every time they closed their eyes, memories started pulling out from their minds.
Aomine sighed, he wasn't even sleepy, and his mind was so full he couldn't even sleep.
"What a pain" he thought.
He left the bedroom hesitantly; the dark wooden house caused him to have some eerie feeling. He could be an adult now, but he was still afraid of ghosts. He walked to reach the entrance of the living room.
His heart raced as he saw the light of the living room turned on, and footsteps sound, crackling on the wooden ground. He heard a munching sound.
With some drops of sweat pouring down his face, he slowly approached the room, carefully. He closed his fist, preparing to hit who or whatever it would be (although his entire body was shaking).
In a second, he stepped into the room, scaring the person who was sitting in one of the three sofas on the place.
"AAAAh!" Aomine shouted.
"Minechin!" Murasakibara was surprised at the point he even dropped his maiubo's pack.
"I-it was you…"the navy-haired sighed in relief, putting his hand on his heart, calming down. "…Why are you here?"
"Eh~ Minechin I couldn't sleep…So I came here to eat." He picked the maiubo from the ground and started munching it again.
"I feel like having a nightmare…" Aomine rubbed his head.
The living room was large. Three sofas were occupying some space and a TV in front of the sofas. There was a Japanese style door on the opposite side of the entrance door, and it was open. They were able to see the landscape outside: trees, the starry sky and some grey clouds, in that pinch dark night.
Some footsteps could've been heard, it was getting louder and louder, and stopped at the entrance of the living room.
"Kise/Kisechin?"
"Eh? Aominecchi and Murasakibacchi are here too?" the blonde rubbed one of his eyes "I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't… Why are you here?"
"Same with us…" the navy haired answered.
"So you too…" a low voice came from nowhere.
"Uh?" Aomine's eyes widened as he looked around and saw no one else in the room. "U-uh?" a shiver rolled down his spine
"I'm here, Aomine-kun"
It was Kuroko, with a flat face standing on Aomine's right side staring at the navy-haired man.
"G-GWAAAAAA!" he yelled, scared.
"So noisy…-nanodayo" Midorima reached at the entrance door of the living room and adjusting his glasses.
"Midorimacchi~!" Kise gave his bright smile.
"You were doing so much noise that I couldn't sleep…" he said trying to hide that the real reason between his sleeplessness was his concern about the situation.
"It's just that… I can't sleep at all…"Kuroko said looking down.
"Yeah. It happened so suddenly…" Kise glanced outside.
"…"
The mood got dark around the Generation of Miracles. They still couldn't believe what happened and it was hard to accept. How longer would they stay in that form? What would they do? And if they didn't turn back, they couldn't play basketball in their schools if they were like this. Distant from friends and families, without their beloved basketball… How would be their lives from now on?
Their minds were wondering the possibilities for the future. All of those possible paths seemed to be something unhappy. The only thing they desired was to have their normal bodies and lives back.
"Finally, we're all assembled…" a voice came from the darkness outside.
GoM's gaze turned to watch the figure which entered the house, with a slight smirk on face.
"I knew you would come here…" The red haired male was using a black Yukata with red prints. "Let's find a way to turn back to ourselves…"
And then, the first sleepless night of a troubled GoM started, as they brought the discussion about how turn back to their younger selves.
X-X
So, what will they do?!
