Scene Four

I, the Liar

I lied
To you
About my feelings
You want to know

But I
Can't bring
Myself
To tell you

I'm sorry I can't say
But it's for the best
That you
Don't know

From Kuroko to Akashi.

Sorry, Akashi-kun. I know that you already know I lied. I know that you already know how I feel. I know that you are just waiting for me to admit the truth. But I know you will never feel the same way.

An emperor, like you, will never need the humble shadow, me. I may need you, but staying beside you will only cause you trouble and me, pain. I believe Kagami-kun knows this pain, as well, because of Aomine-kun, but their troubles are over already. They have their happy ending. My two lights have something that I, their shadow, will never have.

Akashi-kun, I know you know about my secret. You know that I have one, but you haven't found out what it is. I'm sorry, but it's not possible for me to say. I really can't bring myself to tell you, Akashi-kun. I believe its best that you don't know. If you do, I will only be the source of more problems to come for you.

I am a liar. It's best that you don't know my secrets. Please just forget about me. Don't look for me. You won't be able to find me.

Goodbye.

Kuroko Tetsuya, a liar and shadow.
