A/N: There's no use to hiding the mysterious characters right? Well, let's look at their evil plan.
(=)
"You shall protect him, Tetsuya." The child hiding by the back heard the man at his front reprimand the small child that was almost identical to his looks. It had looked ridiculous actually. It was like an old version of someone scolding his younger self.
"But," The boy was about to protest but a sob stopped his words. Not knowing what else to do, the small boy with baby blue hair and eyes just muffled his sobs.
"The treasure of our Family. That's what he is to us." The man said in a soft voice. It doesn't take a genius to know that the older man was the young boy's father. The last two member of the Kuroko clan. The boy that was hiding wanted to laugh. The clan that they had tried to protect since the start have been now reduced to a meager number of one. Everything have to be fair. One more should die in the Kuroko clan. And it would be fun to be the acting judge.
"I would like you to follow him. He should be visiting his parents tight now."
The young boy nodded as if he had accepted that he had made a mistake. He was about to leave the room but the boy saw the other person in the room.
"Who are you?"
The boy that was hiding just looked at Kuroko as if no words had been said. As if he was not planning the death of either the two.
"He's Ogiwara Shigehiro" the man introduced the mysterious child.
"Shigehiro? Isn't that?" Kuroko said. Fear and anger can be subtly traced on his eyes.
"Tetsuya never judge a person based on their lineage. Don't you think it's time to change the standards? After all we can start from scratch." The man reasoned out.
It was amazing. The amount of trust that Kuroko puts on his father. Kuroko nodded accepting his father's reason. "Hello. I'm Kuroko Tetsuya." Kuroko smiled at Shigehiro.
Shigehiro just looked at the boy. Not trusting his existence.
"Can I call you Shige-kun?" He then grabbed Shigehiro's hands "Can you come with me?" no waiting for any confirmation, Kuroko pulled Shigehiro somewhere else. Kuroko did not noticed that the boy had been aloof at the start and had slowly started to warm up to him. Only at him.

He did not know if it was karma or not. He knew that he have done some pretty evil things however, it was all for Kuroko's sake.
"You want me to seduce someone who have fallen for your dear Kuroko?" The other man in the room wanted to laugh. Shigehiro should fully understand his plan.
"The bastard had forgotten his memories. However, I know that Seijuurou would fall for Tetsu once again."
"And how could I do something that will take away someone's feeling for him? Even you yourself who have not had any conversation with still loves him. He have forgotten you yet you never forgot."
"Mayuzumi, "Shigehiro looked at the man as if he have just said the forbidden word. "Tetsu did not want to forget me. He was forced to forget everything."
Mayuzumi just nodded. He was still doubting the plan.
"It would have been a fair fight if he was also forgotten. " Shigehiro muttered to himself. "Why is it that even though Tetsu had forgotten everything he had still remembered Seijuurou?"
(=)
"Just remember, Tetsuya, Akashi Seijuurou is your top priority."
"Sei-kun?"
"No matter what happens you should always keep an eye on him."
The small child nodded, taking everything in mind.

"Sei-kun" Kuroko repeated once again.
Murasakibara's eyes grew with surprise when he saw the shift of delight at Akashi's face. It was a rare sight for him even though he had been at the red-head's side most of the time.
Akashi did not want to break the moment. Though he did not have any idea on what it was about. Only that whatever that was happening between him and Kuroko was a revelation of something that he wants to remember. Kuroko was a part of his past. And he would do anything to remember that. And based on Kuroko's reaction to him, his name, He would see on why the teal-haired man reacted to it.
"Phone" Kuroko said even though he still wanted to repeat the name. He disregarded the surge of memories that still doesn't make sense to him and his past. Only that he was constantly reminded to always remember Akashi Seijuurou and to always keep an eye on him. And the fact that he remembers a dying a man, who seems to be someone that's important to him, always saying that. Mixing the two, Kuroko have the idea that he was ordered a long time ago to kill the red-head. Though Kuroko knows that he might be wrong on his guess. After all he have only remembered a meager amount of his memories. Because, maybe, Akashi Seijuurou is a huge part of him, his forgotten memories.
Akashi just nodded and got the phone at his pocket.
"Thanks" Kuroko mumbled as he reached for Akashi's phone. He then dialed a number that he can call anytime of the day. Two rings passed before the line was answered.
"Is this Kuroko?" the voice on the other line said.
"Yes it is Hyuuga-kun. I told you I would be fine." Kuroko replied. 'You can always count on Hyuuga.' Kuroko wanted to say at the other men it the room that was watching him.
"Fine? I tried to contact you. No answer at all. Where the heck are you?"
Kuroko smiled not because Hyuuga worries for him but because Hyuuga went with his plan that he was robbed. Though he knows that Hyuuga's concerned tone was genuine. "I'm fine. I can go home by myself and go to work tomorrow." Kuroko said. He was about to add some words to assure Hyuuga but Akashi's words stopped him.
"No, you won't. You will stay here until that wound is healed."
"But-"Kuroko was about to protest but Akashi's glare stopped him midway. It was not a glare actually. Just a look saying that Kuroko should not try to defy Akashi. Kuroko could feel that it was of a more subtle level compare to his other stares.
"Okay," It was the only thing that Kuroko was able to say. It was as if agreeing to everything that Akashi says was an instinct.

A/N: I'm sorry everyone I'm too tired to continue this right now. The next chapter would still continue with this scene. I hope you won't wait long for that.
