"People say that I'm the most honest person in the world, mostly Seirin and the Generation of Miracles. But after this happened, will anybody actually want to believe me?"- Kuroko Tetsuya

Chapter 8: Shot Down Part IV

"Atsushi."

"Muro-chin."

"… Shut up."

"Oh come on, you promised you would never say that to me!"

Himuro shook his head, sighed, and smiled. "I'm just playing around, Atsushi." He moved closer to Murasakibara and hugged him.

"Why are you hugging me? I didn't do anything to make you happy."

"Exactly, I'm not happy. I'm sad. I don't want to go, but I have to."

Murasakibara munched for a while on his chips and licked his fingers seductively. That sure caught Himuro's eye. "Go? Where are you going?"

"To America. Yosen's team captain told me that I wasn't strong enough so I need to go back to America and train with Alex*. I really don't want to go. I want to stick with you."

"Go, Muro-chin. In order for the team to become the best, you have to go. I'll be fine, please don't worry."

Himuro closed his eyes and ran his fingers through the giant's sleek purple hair." You're such a big boy, Atsushi."

"I know," Murasakibara slurred seductively.

"Not that way! I mean like in maturity," Himuro noted nervously, waving his hands frantically.

Murasakibara set his bag of goodies on the clear glass table and placed his hands on his cheeks. "So, when are you departing?"

"In two days," Himuro said.

"What? That's too soon! I'm going to miss you so much!" Murasakibara cried.

"That's the reason why I want to spend those two days with you. No one else, just you. Do you understand?"

Murasakibara nodded, blushing a little. He loved it when his boyfriend said things like that. He gave Himuro a BIG hug and walked out the café that Himuro had planned for them to meet.

The teen with black hair sat there by himself with his hands on his chin. There was a sneer on his face, one that he had never made before.

"Ha, lies," he whispered to his soul.

"Kise! Please calm down! It's not that serious," Kasamatsu soothed the best as he could.

"No! Someone killed Aominecchi! I can't just sit here and do nothing!," Kise shouted, kicking a basketball.

"Kise, be quiet and let me talk. I've heard from Kagami that… Kuroko murdered him in an alleyway near Haru street."

The ace's eyes widened as they began to water. "K-Kurokocchi? N-No way. That's impossible! He's firmly locked behind bars… isn't he?"

Kasamatsu furrowed his eyebrows and gave Kise a glare. "I'll tell you after we play one-on-one. I have a new trick I wanna try." He got up and picked up a spare ball.

"I need some fresh air for a while."

"No," Kasamatsu retorted.

Kise's hands started to tremble and his eyes were filled with tears to the max. "Kasamatsu-senpai, do you care about me at all?"

"…"

"Senpai, I asked you a simple yes or no question."

"Yes I do, but you need to get over thi-"

"AAAHHH!," Kise screamed. He purposely fell on his knees and began to bang his fists against the gym floor. His face was red and water was flushing out of his eyes like mad. Kise continued to scream and yell and screech and scream, cry, sniff, curse and squirm around on the floor. To sum it all up, Kise Ryota, the ace of Kaijou High school, was having a major temper tantrum.

This startled the captain, as his own rage started to split open. But not about Aomine Daiki, but Kise's foolish behavior. "There's only one thing I can do to make all of this stop," he said to his inner soul. He ran to Kise at full speed, and when he had enough momentum, he whacked Kise in the chin… HARD! So hard that it started bleeding. The yellow head shrieked in pain and sadness. "The hell you did that for?! That hurt!"

Kasamatsu calmed down and grabbed Kise by his jersey collar. "Kise Ryota, I don't care who the fuck you are, Generation of Miracle boy, but you do NOT cry in my gym. At this school, we act like real men. That behavior I just witnessed was a humongous disgrace to our team. What if somebody saw that? You could have ruined your reputation along with mine. If you screw up, the whole team will go down with you. I know that you don't want that to happen. If I ever see THAT one more time, anywhere, not only at Kaijou, you and I break up and you are automatically… off… the… team. Do you understand me, Kise Ryota?"

There was no response from the taller man who just stood there, sniffing. His heart started to beat faster as he noticed the look on Kasamatsu's face: extremely serious and calm, but there was something behind. And Kise knew just what to do. He slowly took Kasamatsu's fist off his collar and smiled. "Yes, I understand."

The captain backed down and closed his eyes for a second, releasing all the stored up captain-ness out. "Wait a minute! Kise don't try me-"

But it was already too late. Kise had taken Kasamatsu by the waist and pulled them down to the floor. Then… the yellow head forced his warm lips amongst his friend's, deeply. Kasamatsu couldn't react; he was trapped within Kise's hold and now he could only lay there and enjoy. Kise's tongue was stealthy, so Kasamatsu's tongue could never get ahold of it.

A few minutes later, Hayakawa, Moriyama, and Kobori were walking to the entrance at the gym. "I'm so gonna get some rebounds today, you bet it!" Hayakawa exclaimed, slapping his cheeks.

Kobori nodded,"Yeah, yeah, we all know tha-"

He dropped the basketball that he was holding, suddenly staring into the gym. "Guys? Look, look! That's crazy right there."

Moriyama and Hayakawa turned their heads to where Kobori was pointing. They both gaped; they could not believe their eyes to what they were seeing.

Kise and Kasamatsu were spread on the ground on top of one another with their shirts and shoes off. The blushing captain was now engaged in licking Kise's muscular stomach, who was now making quick groans and moans. Next, they had resumed tongue kissing, but even more sexier and inappropriate than before. Saliva dropped from their mouths as they went on, but they didn't care. Who had time for that when paying attention to the person you love is even better?

"U-Unbelievable," Hayakawa whispered to his gazing friends. "Why don't we leave them alone for a while and come back tomorrow? Let's pretend that nothing happened."

"Uh-huh," Kobori and Moriyama said in unison and they headed back outside, a blast of cold wind startling them.

Inside, Kise and Kasamatsu couldn't stop. Now matter how fast they ran out of stamina and energy, their love for each other kept them going. As Kasamatsu was about to take off his boyfriend's shorts, Kise opened his eyes and muttered,"Not here. The coach will catch us. Let's go to my house and do it."

Kasamatsu agreed by lifting Kise off the ground and dressing up as quickly as he could. They wiped all evidence off their lips, ears, and chins, making sure that they looked clean. Once ready, they walked out of Kaijou hand in hand, internally and physically anticipating the fun and exciting night ahead of them. Today was the day that the both of them would lose their virginity, and they were proud of it. Kise still felt down after Aomine's sudden death, but he knew that Kasamatsu would make him feel better. Anyone who was his lover could guarantee that. Anyone.

Okay, I admit that I went too far with those two for my own taste. Just so you know, I have no clue who Alex is. I think it's the woman with blonde hair and glasses. Please forgive me if I misused him/her. Title will change, quote will change, and as usual… RnR! Please, :()
