AN: I decided to update this fic every Sunday, and guess what? I won't end it with five chapters! I got ideas for plot twists and such, but I still don't know if I'd do it or not, soooo . . . Opinions?

I was rather late on updating, as usual, but I have a good excuse this time; I am currently having a serious backache and a crappy internet connection. I couldn't think straight but of course, NOTHING CAN STOP ME AND MY LOVE FOR TECCHAN! /Ehem

Chapter 4: Alaskan Malamute

Echoing footsteps resounded the quiet hallways of the base of five notorious kidnappers.

There was a greenhead walking down the halls holding an Alaskan Malamute plush on his right hand while a first aid kit on the other. He was lean and was wearing black-rimmed eyeglasses, and behind those are emerald irises, like his companions, he too was wearing a mask that covered his nose and mouth but it was the same color as his hair.

He huffs upon reaching a certain door that was locked from the outside. He unlocked the door and slowly turned the knob. Weird, their hostage this time seem to be quiet. In fact, too quiet. Is he sleeping? Hastening his movements he opened the door widely and grimaced... There was no one there!

Before he decided to run outside and report to the redhead. He dropped the plush and the first aid kit on the end table beside the bed and rushed to the bathroom again, there was no one there. He was now sweating bullets just thinking that their hostage escaped, and what also comes next. He shook his head and knelt on the side of the bed before peeking underneath it, but the only thing he saw was the dusty floor- No, he was sure that he is here somewhe-

"Umm..."

The greenhead's heart practically jumped out of his mouth as he let out an internal scream, unconsciously jotling his head upwards on where the sound came. He saw the blunette quietly sitting on the side of the bed looking at him questioningly.

"S-Since when have you been there?!" the taller one stutters as he stands up and brushes of imaginary dust on his clothes

"Since I was kidnapped and chained here..." Kuroko bluntly answers

The bespectacled man cleared his throat as he pushed his glasses up. There was a slight tint of pink on his cheeks before it quickly disappeared returning to his calm facade.

"I presume that you have met Aka."

The blunette nodded.

"And I presume that you are..." the blunette paused as he scrutinizes the man from his eyes to his locks "Midori?"

"You made an amusing conclusion based on my looks." The greenhead scoffs as he unties a bundle of ropes he got inside the kit. He sat beside Kuroko and closed their distance. Kuroko noticed what the other was planning to do, he backed away and glared at the greenhead.

"I suggest you do not struggle. It will worsen your bruise."

The blunette didn't deter and was still sticking to the backboard,

"Midori-san, I do not see the need of tying me with ropes when I am obviously chained and cuffed."

"I am here to tend to your wounds as ordered by Aka, of course I shall remove the chains."

"I am not stupid enough to try to escape knowing that my life could be in danger if I do so. Besides, there are probably other guarding the exit."

"Nor am I stupid enough to fall for tricks like that." Midori counters who started to tie Kuroko's arms onto the headboard of the bed.

Kuroko stared intently at the pair of emerald orbs of the man, eventually engaging into a staring contest with the bluenette's blank cerulean ones. Midori suddenly felt uncomfortable and decided to break contact. He sighed in defeat and threw the rope aside before fumbling with Kuroko's chains to free his foot, the cuffs remained and Midori made sure to give a look saying 'I won't go easy on you if you try to escape.'

The blunette made no sign to move, he took the chance of grabbing an alcohol bottle and cotton in the first aid kit and applied small amounts of liquid onto the cotton. Midori took Kuroko's right foot which the blunette took surprise to, and started brushing the cotton on the slightly swollen scrape. Kuroko winced slightly at the sensation.

Midori looked at Kuroko for a few seconds and moved to clean the bruise with an anti-bacterial chemical formula. He did the final touches, he covered the wound with a bandage carefully making sure that it wasn't too tight or loose. Seeing as his job is done, he nods to himself and neatly put back the tools back in the kit. He reached for the chains once again and placed it on Kuroko's uninjured foot and turned to look at him.

"Don't bruise this one now." he ordered and stood, grabbing the plushie and the kit on the end table.

Kuroko seem to not pay attention which irked him. He was clearly looking somewhere else. He followed Kuroko's object of distraction only to find out that he was staring at his Alaskan Malamute plush toy, cutely. Wait, what the heck- His eyes were practically sparkling.

"Oi Kuroko." he snaps even though he found the smaller one's actions... Well, adorable. Not that he would say that out loud.

The oblivious blunette only tilted his head in response.

Again, Midori sighed in defeat and plopped the plush on Kuroko's lap.

"Um... This?"

"Don't get the wrong idea. It just so happened that I have two of them. Aquarius' lucky item today is a dog; I guess it won't hurt for you to raise your luck, not that I care."

The blunette stiffed a laugh on the greenhead's mini speech and looked at him.

"You are very particular about horoscopes aren't you, Midori-san?" he comments, a faint smile present on his face

Midori's eyes widens for a second before he turnes back with a 'Hmph'. He started to walk away when Kuroko called his attention. He turned around to face the smaller one and raised a brow.

"What?"

"Thank you."

Midori was shocked that Kuroko had thanked him, heck- Who in the right mind would thank your kidnapper?! But that was not the reason he was taken aback; It was because at that moment he saw a beautiful smile on the boys lips, dropping his stoic features. Midori cleared his throat and looked away with a blush.

I think there was a sound of cracking glasses, but anyway...

The greenhead replied with a nod and exited the room. He stopped as he got out and locked the door.

"Just like Akashi said, he's interesting." he mumbles to himself, little did he know that he was smirking.

Omake

After Midori exited the room, he noticed that his glasses had a crack, he decided to go to his room and get a spare but he found himself uneasy.

He turned to the corner and-

PANG!

He bumped into a ladder used for cleaning and a bucket fell on his head, he was now soaking wet. He grumbled and kicked the bucket, apparently he kicked to hard and slipped, landing on the floor butt first.

"Shit." he grumbles, he stands up and head to his room, stomping. As he reached his room, he found out that it's locked. He fumbled his pocket got his keys but found none.

He forgot it, somewhere. Now he has to find it.

Just great.

Maybe he shouldn't have given his lucky item after all.

*Midori referred Aka as Akashi in the end is because they know each other's real names and identity.
Since no one is there that could possibly hear them, it is natural to state his real name.

I'm not sure whether to put Omake's at the end of the future chapters but I just had to on this one. Midorima is so Tsun-Tsun I can't- /dies
