A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait. I was busy with school. And yes it was one term. Sorry for the long wait. And a few days of vacation. And also I apologize in advance for the way the time hops. I hope everyone understands.

Kuroko looked at Aomine. The man was a currently supporting a light bruise on his face. He wanted to ask if the man was okay but Kuroko knows that his questions would only irk the person who have given Aomine the bruise. Not to mention Aomine himself.

(=)

"Aomine"

That was the confirmation that Aomine was indeed connected to Kuroko. Akashi sighed. He would have saved a lot of time if he had asked Aomine some information about Kuroko. He wondered on why he have never mentioned Kuroko's name to that man.

Kuroko watched as Kagami walked towards Aomine. He wondered on what Kagami was planning. To hug the man perhaps? Kuroko shook his head as the thought came up to his mind. He knew that it was impossible. For now.

It looked like Aomine had been really glued at his place. Murasakibara was nowhere in sight. And that took Kuroko's attention away from the scared Aomine. Kuroko looked around the room to search for the giant man. Kuroko saw Murasakibara on the other side of the room eating some of the food that he have brought with him. He wondered on how the man managed to get there so fast without Kuroko noticing him.

A loud thud made Kuroko looked at the place of Aomine earlier. In there he saw a man lying at the floor. "Is that?" Kuroko was about to ask for confirmation if the person lying on the floor was the person on who he think It is.

Kagami answered Kuroko. "The bastard that should have been gone a long time ago." Kagami looked at Akashi who have watched the stunt silently. "What is he doing here? As far as I remember this asshole belongs to the police force. Or did he lie about that too?"

Kuroko also wanted to know the answer to Kagami's inquiry. He looked at Akashi, expecting that he man would answer it honestly.

"He was." Akashi said not denying the fact.

"Was?" Kuroko was the one who have asked the question. He was baffled, ever since he have met Aomine the man have always bragged about his job at the police force. That was enough for anyone to know that the man was proud of his job and loves doing it.

Akashi nodded, "He was fired some two years ago. It seems like it was related to his attitude with his works and some bad relationship with his workmates."

Two years ago. That was the time of Aomine and Kagami's break up. Well it seemed like Kagami was not the only one that was going through such difficulty.

"He still deserved it." Kagami said.

"You should have at least held back a little with the punch, Kagami-kun" Kuroko looked at the man lying on the floor. No one has made a move to help Aomine. Kuroko was thinking on maybe he should be helping the man.

"I held back." Kagami stated. If he have held back with that force, surely, death would be the result if Kagami have given his all.

Or maybe Aomine is still guilty from before? Hence he did not deflected Kagami's punch.

"Murasakibara, put Aomine in a more comfortable place." Akashi said in a commanding tone. He looked at Kagami who was looking at Aomine with contempt and anger. "May I have your word that you would not repeat the previous event that had happened? After all, Aomine is a friend of mine not just an employee."

Kagami nodded. However Kuroko knows that nothing and no one could stop Kagami if he desire to repeat the said performance.

Three years ago

"Your relationship with the man is ruining your work performance."

Aomine looked at his commanding officer. His face full of rage. Ever since Kagami had entered his life many things have happened to him. However, ruining his work performance was not one of those.

"Imayoshi, I hope you really know what you're saying." Aomine said.

"I know." Imayoshi said. "Do you even know who this person is? Where does he live? Any information about him that would really prove his identity?"

Aomine looked at the man at his side. "Kagami."

Kagami did not had the chance to redeem his self since Imayoshi had interrupted him.

"And why does he always have this small man with him? Are you his guardian?" he looked at the cyan haired man at his front.

"I am not small." The man that he have pointed out said.

"May I remind the three of you on why all of you are here?" The man behind the table looked around. "It's because of the brawl that you have caused by the market!" He pointed at Aomine, "You are a police officer! You're supposed to maintain peace and order not destroy it!" then he pointed at the other two. "I heard that both of you are teachers. Act like it!"

They just bowed their heads. It was true that they have caused a brawl but it was not their fault actually. They were just protecting an old lady from two men who was trying to steal from her. They were on the right side. But they're action may not have been that correct. Given that one is a police officer and the other two are teachers. Also, the state of the men they had a fight with.

"I will let this slide for now but if I hear another mishap that you have caused with this two you either say goodbye to your job or these two."

The three stood up and left the office in silence. They had only broken it when they have felt that they are in a safe distance. Away from Aomine's strict superior.

It was Aomine who laughed first, then Kagami followed his actions. In this time Kuroko really sees the goodness in the relationship of the two. He wishes that the pair would not break apart because of some petty reasons.

"Kuroko you don't need to contain your laughter. It's totally fine." Kagami had answered.

Kuroko just smiled. He knows that there had never been a successful relationship between a law enforcer and someone who defies the law as its work. It had become a parasitic relationship most of the times that will cause the death or disappearance of the other party.

Kuroko wishes and prays that such a thing would not happen to the couple at his front.

"However, Aomine-kun, Imayoshi-san's warning should be taken seriously." Kuroko said.

"I'll be careful next time." Aomine nodded as if saying that he knows what his superior had meant earlier.

"And that you should be." Kagami said.

Two and a half years ago

Kuroko was not feeling well at all. His head aches like big sizes of rocks continues to fall on his head. It was raining rocks. Then add Kagami, the big noisy guy at his side.

"I'm telling you, if ever he is in a case may it be dangerous or not he would always message me to let me know that he will be busy indefinitely."

Kuroko nodded at the complaint. It was the third day of Aomine's silence. What is happening to the law enforcer? That is something that Kuroko doesn't know.

"It's just the third day. That guy is as strong as rocks as hard as steel nothing dangerous would happen to him in the span of three days." Of course Kuroko knows that there are lots of possibilities. For god's sake the man is an active police man who jails most of the wanted man at their place. However he really doesn't want Kagami to worry about some other thing. The man is assigned with a class S mission. Kagami should not be caught no matter what. He promised Hyuuga that Taiga wouldn't be distracted.

"Know what? You could visit the guy after this. Why haven't you done it in the first place? If it's worrying you that bad?" Kuroko asked. He looked at Kagami who is now facing the floor.

"We had a fight the last time we saw each other, it wasn't really that big that a sorry couldn't fix. But it's the third day already, I have already lowered my pride yesterday when I had messaged him. It got lowered earlier when I tried to call him, only to hear his voice mail."

A petty fight maybe. Kuroko thought. "Then you shouldn't worry about. He must be tired and was still asleep when you called."

"I'm just a normal teacher for him but I'm afraid Kuroko. What if die right now and I wouldn't be able to say my goodbye? And he would think that I just left him?"

"Kagami-kun, you're starting to sound like a girl. Have you always talked like that?"

At that retort Kagami started to laugh. "Fine I will stop with this worries and I will go to his place later."

"Why did you fight? If you don't mind me asking."

"I was jealous of his new partner."

"What was his name? Sakurai?"

"Yes. And I can see his intentions and that started everything."

Kuroko nodded. He decided to not comment on the topic. Kagami should be able to handle it alone. He discreetly pointed at a guy who passed by them. "That's him. Please be quick, I have to report to Hyuuga before midnight comes. Call me when you have to report."

Kagami did not bother to give an affirmative. He just started walking away as if it was enough to know that his actions was one of that.

Six hours. That was how long Kuroko waited. When he heard the ring tone that was especially assigned for Kagami he have answered it right away. He was worried that something may have went wrong.

When the call was answered it was clear that something was definitely wrong. However, it was not the kind of wrong that Kuroko was expecting.

"Kuroko, I just called to let you know that everything went well. Could you ask Hyuuga if I could give my report tomorrow? I'm not feeling well."

No one would have heard the pain in Kagami's voice. No one except Kuroko that is. "Is something wrong Kagami?"

He heard Kagami sighed on the other line. "Nothing's wrong. Everything went well… well almost."

"Are you hurt? Where are you?" Kuroko was worried.

"I'm fine. I just need to rest. "

"Please let me know your location."

"I'm at my place. I would be glad to welcome you in I do need to talk to someone right know."

At that statement, Kuroko did not hesitate to go to Kagami's place. He have also talked to Hyuuga about the report. Hyuuga said that as long as the mission had went well the report could wait.

The way to Kagami's place was a short ride. Kuroko did not bothered to knock. He just entered and went to the place on where he knows Kagami would be.

"Is that you Kuroko?" Kagami asked.

"Who else would it be?" Kuroko retorted. He was aware that the only people that knows his address was him and the big three.

"Aomine? The bastard." Kagami answered simply. "I gave him my address yesterday."

Kuroko looked at him. "Are you for real? You're not supposed to do that Kagami-kun."

"What else should I not do? Not believe on things that my own two eyes saw on its own?"

"What do you mean?" Kuroko asked. He was baffled by Kagami's reaction.

"I saw Aomine with Sakurai earlier."

"Because they're partners Kagami-kun." Kuroko explained.

"Partners in bed too it seems to be."

"What?"

"They we're kissing. In front of Aomine's place. I left because I'm sure that I could have killed both of them, because I don't know if I could continue on watching them."

Kuroko looked at Kagami. He couldn't believe that Aomine would ever do such a thing. "Well then, what do you plan to do?"

"I'll ask for a transfer."

Kuroko nodded. A transfer may be good. Kuroko needs it too. He knows a new place on where he should go. He doesn't mind bringing Kagami along with him. "Okay. I'll let Hyuuga know. For the time being we should evacuate this place and erase our trace."

Kagami did not show any kind of resistance. Instead he started to do what Kuroko had said.

Aomine would never find us again. Ever.

That was what Kagami had taught.

PRESENT

And now three years later, it seems like destiny made them meet one another.

Kuroko shook his head. He shouldn't worry that much. Kagami should be able to take care of himself now. However he knows that Kagami is weak when it comes to Aomine. He sighed not knowing on what to do. At this moment he have to solve a problem of his own.

(=)

A/N: yes I'm sorry. I'll try to do it longer next time. TRY. R&R please.
