Ogiwara sat baside Kuroko, watching him sleep peacefully. He sigh...
"Why you? Why you of all people?! You're such a good friend and a good son to uncle... so i don't understand at all. Kami-sama onigai let him live" he fight the urge to cry in front of his sleeping best friend. He look at Kuroko after a minute he's making a small low sounds continuously until it gets louder and harsher coughs. Ogiwara suddenly became alert and started shake him gently.
"Tetsuya! Tetsuya!" He ran near the door. He immediately opened the light and to his horror he saw how pale Kuroko is. He dialed the hospital number while gently patting Kuroko's back
"Oi Tetsuya! Tet- Hello?! I need ambulance immediately here at (address)!" He shouted while looking as if his anytime he's going to faint. He continuously keeps checking his pulse afraid of what might happen.
Kuroko violently cough repeatedly as it becomes harsher and painful like his lungs and throat are going to rip out. He felt like there's a wet substance coming out from his mouth and his tongue taste like copper or some kind of metal. He can't hear anything as his vision started to swim. He saw a faint figure of Ogiwara panicking. He feels tired and his eyelids are becoming heavy. He glance at his hand and the last thing he saw...is his blood.
Kuroko is greeted with the white bright light and the sound of the beeping machines. He realized that he's in the hospital 'What happened? The last thing I remembered is sleeping on Ogiwara-kun's bed?' He then felt warmth sensation on his left hand he looked to his left hand and saw his uncle holding his hand while resting. He looked into the couch and saw a sleeping figure of Ogiwara. He tried to move his left hand but ended up waking his uncle in the process.
"... TETSUYA?!" He shouted then he saw Ogiwara waking up from his peripheral view.
"Tetsuya-kun?!" He has the same expression that his uncle has 'what happened?'
"D-domo" 'why do I feel like my throat is so dry?' He wondered "what happened?" He manage to ask. Tsugumi and Ogiwara exchange looks as if they're silent conversing.
"... you almost died" His uncle finally said after a few minutes.
"You've been sleeping for three weeks!" Ogiwara murmured so that expains why my throat is so dry
"you lost you're consciousness while you're asleep, you became so pale and you're pulse is really slow...y-you look... s-so dead!" He lied at some part as he cringe at the painful memory.
Kuroko look at them not showing any hint of emotions "then i'm sorry for making you all worry" he bowed slightly.
"Seriously, you're still thinking of others even if you're condition is -" Tsugumi was unable to finish his sentence knowing that finishing that sentence will only hurt Tetsuya.
Awkward silence envelope the room. Luckily for them the doctor entered. "Oh, you're already awake! Are you feeling okay?" He asked while preparing some kind of medicines
"Hai"
"Drink this it'll help you into reducing the pain you're feeling after some time." He gave a water and the medicine to Kuroko. He frowned when he saw how pale Kuroko was.
"Thank you very much doctor"
"No problem. oh, and can I talk to you Mr. Tsugumi?" He gave a meaningful look to Tsugumi. He only reply with a nod.
"Umh... Kuroko I'll just buy something to eat outside, you want anything?" Ogiwara said
"No I'm fine, thank you"
The GoM (except Kuroko) who are walking towards the seirin high were still thinking of what happened three weeks ago they continued searching for Kuroko but to no avail.
"I-i still can't believe t-that Kurokocchi s-said that" Kise looking distress
"That's not Tetsu... that's not him... There's no way that's Tetsu!"
"Kuro-chin is lying. right, Aka-chin?" Murasakibara said while looking pleadingly at Akashi.
'Something is definitely not right, he's hiding something.' Akashi keep thinking about the possibilities why Kuroko suddenly change.'and that man... right, he's from that Meiko the one i met near the infirmary and his name is... Ogi-' he suddenly felt a pair of eyes looking at him like he had just grown two heads
"...what?" He calmly asked
"Aka-chin is spacing out... could it be that you're thinking about foods?" Murasakibara innocently asked the read head
"I told you Akashi don't care about foods!" Aomine shouted at him
"Ehh~, why not, they're delicious, you want some?"
"Oi! Just keep quiet!"
"It's rare for you to get lost in your thoughts, nanodayo" Midorima said ignoring the two "want to share you're thoughts?"
"It's nothing. It's just i remembered the one who was with Kuroko... Shigehiro Ogiwara from Mieko, his childhood friend"
"Meiko...oh yeah..." Kise said as he remembered how they destroyed them by letting them score 11 on purpose. He mentally laugh at how cold and monsters were they that time. But now they realized their mistakes and it's all thanks to Kuroko but now...
"We're here" Akashi said breaking their train of thoughts.
When they entered the seirin court, they are expecting to see them training or bickering noisily but definitely not sulking at the corner as if someone died.
Riko immediately rise alerting the rest of the team in the process. "Did you found anything?" The first thing she said to them
"No" Akashi lied. Obviously, not wanting them to know about three weeks ago.
"Are~? Where's the big handed man and the four eyebrow man?" Murasakibara asked them
"Big han- oh Teppie is not here he's in the hospital, for his leg check up as for Kagami, well, h-he's still looking for Kuroko" Riko answered
"Putting that aside have you found anything interesting?" Akashi hoping that they found at least some thing
"No, i'm sorry, we haven't found anything"
"Is that so" He said disappointed
"...W-well Kiyoshi told me something awhile ago, but I doubt it has something to do with Kuroko" Hyuuga finally spoke
"Spill it" Akashi demanded
"He saw Kuroko's childhood friend, Ogiwara in the ***** hospital. It's probably nothing but i thought he might know something. I mean, Kuroko once told us that he move far away with his parents after, err, the match. I was just thinking that if he's here he definitely know something. It's just, I'm curious"
They looked at each other for awhile "Keep looking for more information. Call me if you have found anything interesting. We'll take our leave now." Akashi said bidding them goodbyes
"That's it?!" Their coach shouted at them but it seems like they ignored the bruenette. She turned around at her teammates
"Really that evil captain always order around like he's the boss" she huffed
"Kids nowadays, don't they know that kouhais should respect their senpais!" Hyuuga started muttering about teaching them a lesson and how disrespectful they are... and so on
"Well, it's all for Kuroko so let's do our best" Izuki said
"Agreed!" The freshmen shouted in unison.
"Mr. Tsugumi... Kuroko's condition is worsening. Have you already contacted Tetsuo-kun?"
"Yes, he's in America... still looking for a cure." His face saddened
"I'm sorry but you might want to tell him to come home immediately in that way i could talk to him personally."
"Is there any problem, doc? Please tell me, I can handle it" Tsugumi balled his fist inside his pocket. Readying himself for the news to come
"...v-very well, Tetsuya is now in critical condition. The fact that he already started vomiting blood and had lost his consciousness for three weeks means that the virus is showing it's effect faster than we expected. I already contacted doctors from different countries that can help Tetsuya. I'm sorry"
"I-i don't understand, h-he still looks fine. He's not complaining about feeling in pain!" Tsugumi tried his best not to cry in front of the doctor.
"It's because of the pain killers that i gave him. I'm very sorry i suggest that you have to spend every minute with him." The heck?! Even the doctor didn't think that he'll survive! When the doctor left the dam broke.
"Yo, Tetsuya-kun! I bought you some food and vanilla milkshake!" Ogiwara shouted happily only to be greeted by the nurse who shussed him.
"I'm sorry sir but I let the patient sleep for a moment to do some test"
"No no no, no problem I'm sorry I'll just wait outside" Ogiwara scratched the back of his neck while blushing from embarrament. He the moment the stepped outside the room, he immediately froze. In front of his very eyes there are six men that he never expected to see.
