Recap: please… please don't leave me alone anymore…" Kise whispered and slowly dropped down on his knees crying.
"Takecchi, I… I"

Chapter eight: The Cause

There was a minute silent between the teens, "Takecchi…" the blonde broke the silent but he was cut off by the black-haired, "Ryou, I know," the blonde looked up at his friend's face; it was adorned with a painful expression. To Kise the face surprised him…Takeda he knew would never make a face like that. "Eh, you knew?" the blonde asked while he rose himself up, "yes," Takeda replied and hid his eyes behind his bangs, "since the middle school you've always looked after Kuroko. I know he is a sweet boy… everybody likes him. Even I did… I think you should confess to him," the black-haired boy gently pushed Kise and walked away. "I hope you will be happy," the word from the black-haired boy chocked Kise, he froze; that was not what he expected him to know, and that was not what he wanted to tell him… "Takecchi, wait! You are misunderstanding me!" Kise shouted to the black-haired boy but he continued to walk away until the blonde lost sight of him.

[Phone call]
Kuroko: "*dud* *dud*. Good evening, Kise-kun"
Kise: "Hello. Good evening, Kurokocchi. It is rare for you to call me"
Kuroko: "Takeda-kun told me that you want to tell me something"
Kise: "…"
Kuroko: "Kise-kun?"
Kise: "Don't you think the weather was great today? Hehe…"
Kuroko: "Except for all the raining, yes"
Kise: "(silence)… Did you get any further information of the cause to Takecchi's memory lost?"
Kuroko: "No, not yet. My most correct conclusion may be that that person must had pulled some strings behind this"
Kise: "Oh, you mean him? But captain already told him not to bother us!"
Kuroko: "You know him, Kise-kun. He must have thought of revenge on us, and the easiest target was: Takeda-kun"
Kise: "You are right, Kurokocchi. Takecchi may looked like a delinquent, but he would never hit someone for no reason"
Kuroko: "Do you think he knows it?"
Kise: "I don't think so… or that person would be cruelly murdered already. Haha"
Kuroko: "This is not a laughable matter, Kise-kun"
Kise: "Well, going against us was not something a sane people will do, especially hurting his favorite dog"
Kuroko: "Kise-kun…"
Kise: "Yes, Kurokocchi…"
Kuroko: "you haven't told me what you wanted to tell me…"
Kise: "Oh… I noticed that Takecchi began to act like himself again…"
Kuroko: "…"
Kise: "Kurokocchi, I really like you…"
Kuroko: "Kise-kun, I'm sorry but I already have A-"
Kise: "I know, Kurokocchi! I already know! I could not bring myself to tell you because I was scared!"
Kuroko: "I'm sorry, Kise-kun. Please don't cry"
Kise: "*crying*"
Kuroko: "I've always thought that your 'like' for me was just an admiration…"
Kise: "*Hic* But it wasn't…"
Kuroko: "Kise-kun… what about Takeda-kun? Was it just an admiration too?"
Kise: "He is too dumb to understand it… No, he won't understand it until you prove it to him"
Kuroko: "Then why don't you prove it?"
Kise: "…"
Kuroko: "Do you think he still likes her?"
Kise: "I don't know, Kurokocchi. He haven't talked to me about it yet"
Kuroko: "…Our first match to Inter-High is on May the 16th."
Kise: "U-Um"
Kuroko: "I don't know if he is going to play but come and watch over him. Well then, see you later, Kise-kun
Kise: "S-See you, Kurokocchi"

Normal POV
at Kise's apartment
Kise put his phone down and wiped away his tears, "I knew it. I shouldn't have told him," he laughed and leaned back on his bed with his hand cover his eyes and continued to laugh.

Monday
Riko was peacefully walking on the way to Seirin High but then she noticed Takeda who was standing alone under a tree; spaced out. She curiously approached him, when she got close enough to see his face; she saw a blank face with no emotion at all. "Takeda-kun?" she spoke and waved her hand in front of his face to wake him up, but she got no responds. She got mad and kicked him, "RESPONDS, DAMMIT!" she shouted. This time she succeeded to wake the black-haired boy up, "ouch, Riko-san. Why you hit me?" he whined and rubbed his head, "we are going to be late for school if you don't get your ass moving now… and speak probably Japanese!" she yelled and placed her hands on her hips: just like a mother scolding her child, "I no speak Japanese, LOL" he laughed and ran away. "What a troublesome fellow," she sighed and smiled before she followed him. When the brown-haired girl caught up to the troublesome fellow; she spoke, "Takeda-kun, I know there is a match just around the corner, but I can't let you play in games before I am sure that your body can take the extreme pressure when you're on the court". Takeda looked at her and said, "Riko-san!" he moved his face closer to hers. Riko could feel that her face began to heat up as her face got redder and redder. The black-haired boy stopped his head just a few centimeters before their nose would touch each other and called her name again, "Riko-san!" Her heart felt like it was going to burst out because it was beating like hell. "I'm sorry, but I can't see you. I don't even know where we are going," he said; all the tension Riko had suddenly fell to zero, what was she expecting? "Eh, Takeda-kun, you're have bad eyesight? Why don't you wear glasses?" she asked. "I usually wear contact lenses, but it seems like that I forgot to put them on today, hehe," he laughed however Riko looked angrily at him and said, "Don't you have spare glasses?" "I only have reading glasses though, Haha," he giggled. Riko facepalm, 'just how dumb is he,' she thought. "Here," she held out her hand and said, "hold on to me so you won't get lost". Takeda stared at her even though he could not see her and nodded, "Alright". He smiled and held her hand; unknowing for Takeda, Riko was red as a tomato.
They was walking like that whole morning, at least until Riko was sure she delivered the dumb black-haired boy to his right class and told his classmates that they had to watch over him so he won't do anything dangerous.
"Is 'Takeda' you know and him always like that, Kuroko?" Kagami whispered to Kuroko who was getting ready to the lesson.
"Well, sometimes. But I can say one thing… he is gifted with something else too," Kuroko answered and looked at Takeda's direction.
"Hmm," Kagami looked curiously at Kuroko. What exactly was he gifted with?
"All right, class! I'm going to return the math-quizzes we made last week, and be sure to correct all the mistakes you made. First, Takeda Aoi-kun with 100-points, full score!" the teacher who just walked in shouted and held out the paper. Kagami was so surprised that his jaw dropped.
"He is gifted with intelligent of a genius, and even without it he can still managed to get high scores because that was one of those things he taught him," Kuroko said and looked at his book.

In the locker room after training
Kuroko and Takeda was the last one who was left. There was a silence between them before Takeda spoke, "Kuroko," he said while he was siding on a bench in the middle of the room, "yes, Takeda-kun," the bluenette answered. "Can you let me hug you for a second?" the black-haired boy asked and joined his hands together. After a long quietness Kuroko answered, "Yes…" the black-haired boy stood up and walked towards Kuroko then hugged him from behind and buried his face down on the bluenette's naked throat.
"Kuroko…" he started.

I've realized how bad I am to name the chapter's name... and this too "The Cause" is actually because in this chapter there were hints and leads to the culprit and why (a little)
