Memory Loss
Kuroko no Basket Fic
Chapter Two
"Someone get me some water, quick!" Riko ordered.
Furihata quickly got a cup of water from the water dispenser set up in the corner and gave it to the female coach. "Here you go, Coach!"
"Thanks." Riko replied as she poured the cool liquid on Kise's face.
At that moment, Kise snapped out of his unconscious state. He stood up and tried to dry off his damp face with the palms of his hands. "Why did you just pour water on my face; that was water right?"
"Yes it was," Riko began, "and I was going to slap you awake, but I don't think your employers would like you taking pictures with slap marks across your face."
"Thank you for not doing that then." The blond received a towel from Fukada and wiped his face dry. When he was done, Kise asked, "How long was I out?"
"For about twenty minutes." Hyuga answered.
"Oh; well I had the most horrible dream. I came to treat Kurokocchi to his favorite milkshake and he acted like he had no idea who I was."
"Yeah about that, it wasn't a dream." Izuki said bluntly.
"WHAT?!" Kise stared flabbergasted at the Seirin players before walking over to Kuroko. He placed his hands on the blunette's shoulders and asked, "Kurokocchi, please don't tell me that you lost your memory and you have no idea who I am!"
Kuroko simply gave the copycat player his usual blank expression as he said, "Okay, I won't tell you."
At that moment, light blue eyes widened at the blond embracing him all of sudden and crying out in sadness, "Oh Kurokocchi, what did they do to you?!"
"They?" Teppei said in a questioning tone as his fellow teammates groaned in defeat.
As Kise was sniveling, Kuroko looked over at the others and asked, "Um, is he always this clingy and emotional?"
"Oh God, just take me now!" the Kaito player cried out as he continued to sob over his friend's state.
Kagami rolled his eyes at the pathetic scene in front of him. "Oh will you get a grip; it's not that serious." he groaned.
"Says the guy who caused this to happen." the Seirin captain said only to have Kagami shush him. "Don't you shush me; it's your fault!"
After crying his eyes out, the blond released Kuroko and turned towards the other players looking distraught, "How did this happen?!"
"Well Kise-kun," Riko began, "due to a slam dunk gone wrong, the ball bounced off the backboard into the back of Kuroko's head causing him to fall into a state of amnesia."
"What kind of twisted, heartless fiend would do something like that?!" Kise asked with worry.
Mitobe simply pointed to Kagami which made the redhead stare at him in shock as soon as he noticed. "Mitobe-senpai!" Kagami cried out in disbelief.
"Well Kagami, he's not wrong." Koganei said as the silent player nodded in agreement.
"Kagamicchi, you caused this; I should've known you may have had something to do with this."
"Wait a minute, why'd you automatically assume it was my fault?!"
"Because whenever something happens to Kurokocchi, you're somehow responsible!"
"Oh, when has that ever happened?!"
"How about right now for instance?!"
At that moment, Tsuchida intervened and got between the two feuding freshmen, "That's enough, you two!"
"That's right," Izuki added, "blaming and arguing with each other isn't going to help anyone, even if it is Kagami's fault."
Kagami stated at the eagle eye player with an incredulous look on his face, "Hey?!"
"Well it is." the other players except for Kuroko said in unison.
The super jumper groaned heavily as Kawahara asked aloud, "So how are we going to help Kuroko get his memory back?"
"What if we expose him to places and people that he knows…well, used to know?" Teppei suggested.
"Oh please, that's…" Hyuga pondered on the thought and replied, "not a bad idea."
"Yeah, if Kurokocchi visits familiar places and see people that know him, it might help spark his memory." Just then, Kise clutched Kuroko's hands with his and stared at him with a determined look in his golden eyes. "Don't you worry Kurokocchi, I will not rest, I will not quit until you are back to your old self." the blond declared.
Kagami rolled his eyes as he muttered, "Oh brother…"
"At least he's making an effort to fix the problem." Hyuga added receiving agreeable nods from everyone except from an astonished Kagami.
Kuroko was amazed at the blond's words despite the look on his face. "…Thank you um…what's your name again?"
"It's Kise, Kurokocchi!" the blond whined.
The bluenette nodded, "Okay Kise-san."
"You can just call me Kise-kun, you know."
"If you don't mind, I'd prefer to call you Kise-san."
Kise adverted his gaze from the smaller and sighed heavily, "This is going to be a long process."
"Um Kuroko, why don't you head to the locker room and change." Riko told the bluenette.
"Okay miss…um, where's the locker room?"
"I'll take you to it, Kuroko." Furihata offered as he guided Kuroko towards the locker rooms.
When the two freshmen were gone, Hyuga turned his attention on Kagami, "You go and get changed too, Kagami."
"Huh, why?"
"Because you're gonna help Kise restore Kuroko's memory, that's why!"
"Do you not realize what the Generation of Miracles will do to me when they find out about this?!" the redhead complained.
"Don't you think your overreacting a bit?" Tsuchida asked.
"Oh no, they're going to kill him." Kise added bluntly, "Well, apart from Midorimacchi anyway."
"See?!" the super jumper exclaimed, "I mean I wanna help Kuroko and all, but give me one good reason why I should risk getting killed over this?!"
"Kagami-kun…" The redhead flinched at the sound of that voice. He nervously turned around and noticed Riko had a dangerous smile on her face and a dark, threatening aura surrounding her. The aura was so intense that it had the other players and even Kise trembling in fear. Kagami gulped in fear as the female coach spoke again. "If you don't get Kuroko-kun back to normal, you'll be punished…severely."
Kagami's eye twitched as a hesitant smile arose on his face. "You know, I was just gonna go change." he said as he fleeted towards the locker rooms.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Riko said to herself with a satisfied grin.
"Now that's a girl that can get a guy to do what she wants." Kise whispered to the other players as they nodded in unison.
Once Kagami and Kuroko were in their school uniforms, they along with Kise left the gym and head downtown. As they were walking, Kise asked, "So Kagamicchi, what do you two usually do after practice?"
"We we usually hang out at Maji Burger…well actually I'm usually there eating and he pops up outta nowhere drinking a vanilla milkshake." the redhead answered.
"That's it; Maji Burger is our first stop towards Kurokocchi regaining his memory!"
"Good, because I'm starting to get hungry." Kagami added as he followed after Kise dragging a perplexed Kuroko by the hand.
Once they arrived at their destination, the three teens found a table by a window. Kuroko sat at the table while the other two went to go order. When Kise and Kagami came back with food tray and beverages in hand, the bluenette asked, "This is a quaint place, where are we?"
"This is Maji Burger Kurokocchi; it's one of your favorite hangouts." Kise answered as he took a seat across from Kuroko.
As Kagami was sitting down, Kuroko noticed a lot of burgers piled on his tray. He gave the redhead a small smile, "How nice of you to get us all food, Kagami-san."
The redhead furrowed his eyebrow at his teammate nearly forgetting that he has amnesia. "Um actually, this is for me, but you guys can have some."
The light blue eyed male stared at him with widened eyes. "That's some appetite you have Kagami-san. It's a good thing that you exercise because you'd get really fat from eating so much." Kuroko said bluntly.
Kagami's eye twitched while he gritted his teeth in anger. Kise, however, was holding back his laughter at his friend's comment. The redhead turned to him with an agitated look on his face and a forced smile. "Do something before I hurt him." he muttered.
Kise cleared his throat before passing Kuroko a medium-sized cup with a straw already in it. "This is for you, Kurokocchi."
"What is it?" Kuroko asked as he grabbed the cup.
"It's a vanilla milkshake; it's your favorite beverage."
"Yeah, you order it all the time when we come here." Kagami added as he opened one of his burgers and began eating it.
"Oh." The blue eyed male put his mouth on the straw and took a sip of the beverage. As its contents tickled his taste buds, his eyes widened in shock.
The other teens noticed the strange look on Kuroko's face. "What is it Kurokocchi; are you remembering something?"
"No, but…" Kuroko's blue eyes were sparkling with delight as a bright aura enveloped him, "this milkshake is really delicious."
As the bluenette happily drunk his shake, Kagami groaned heavily. "Well this is just great." he said in a sarcastic tone.
"I know," Kise smiled brightly as he brought his hand to his mouth and tears of joy came to his eyes, "his little face is all lit up." Kagami stared blankly at the blond before groaning heavily and hitting his forehead against the table top. Kise heard the thud and turned to the redhead, looking perplexed towards the other's behavior.
After the three teens finished their meal, they threw away their trash and left Maji Burger. As they were walking, Kise asked, "So where else do you guys go, Kagamicchi?"
"We usually go to the street court not far from here and practice techniques." the crimson eyed teen answered.
"I know that place, and that's our next stop." the blond said and he and the others headed towards their second destination.
When they arrived at the street court, they noticed someone lying on one of the benches apparently sleeping. As they got a closer look, Kise smiled brightly as a panicked look arose on Kagami's face which caused Kuroko to look at him with a questionable look. "Oh no, it's…!"
"Hey Aominecchi!" Kise yelled.
The said teen was immediately woken up from his nap and fell off the bench to the blacktop. Aomine groaned as he rubbed his head, "I know that hyper voice anywhere."
The blond ran up to him before putting his hands on his hips, "What are doing on the ground, Aominecchi; don't you know it's dirty?"
The navy haired teen pursed his lips as the other as he got up and brushed himself off. "What was I thinking? Anyway, where have you been; I thought we were meeting up today. You've been begging me to take you out on a date."
"Oh sorry Aominecchi; I got caught up with Kurokocchi and Kagamicchi, I completely forgot!"
Aomine groaned at the other's excuse, "Well, you owe me for waiting so long, and I don't want to hear any complaints about it either." He directed his attention to the Seirin players, "What are you doing with Tetsu and Bakagami anyway?"
"That's not my name!" the redhead retorted. "And since when are you two a couple?"
"Since two months ago, where have you been?" the tanned teen replied.
Kagami rolled his eyes as Kuroko went up to the other freshmen and asked, "Kise-san, who is this?"
"Kurokocchi, this is Aomine Daiki, but I call him Aominecchi. He's another friend of yours who we also played basketball with in middle school."
"Oh well, it's nice to meet you, Aomine-san." Kuroko said to Aomine with a small smile.
The navy haired teen stared blankly at the bluenette before turning to Kise. "What the hell is going on, Kise; why is Tetsu acting like he doesn't know me?"
"The thing is Aominecchi, he has amnesia at the moment."
"So what are you saying, he has memory loss or something?"
The blond nodded, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying."
"WHAT?! How could he forget about me; we were best friends in middle school not to mention partners on the court!" Just then, a thought struck Aomine. He turned to Kagami with a scowl on his face, "Kise, what did he do?!"
The redhead gave the power forward an incredulous look, "Seriously, why do you guys assume it was my fault?!"
"Because whenever something happens to Tetsu, it's somehow your fault!"
The super jumper groaned, "I don't believe this!"
"I know, that's what I said." Kise added receiving a heated glare from Kagami.
"Somebody better tell me what's going on before I crack his skull." Aomine threatened in anger as he cracked his knuckles.
"It was an accident!" Kagami said in his defense.
"Yeah Aominecchi; it's not like he intended to miss a slam dunk causing the ball hit poor Kurokocchi in the head causing him to lose the memory of everyone who loves him, and ruin his life or anything."
The navy haired teen gritted his teeth as Kagami gave the blond an astonished look with mouth agape. Kise simply turned to him and said, "Don't say I never defended you."
"Can I say that you don't defend me, well?"
Just then Kise noticed a menacing aura surrounding his boyfriend and a scary smile on his face. "Um Aominecchi, are you okay; you look a little tense." the copycat player asked nervously.
"Kise, could you and Tetsu move to the side." the navy haired teen asked disregarding the blond's question.
"Gotcha." Kise said as he guided a confused Kuroko to the side so that he wouldn't get caught in the crossfire.
Aomine turned to Kagami with that threatening smile as he spoke through clenched teeth, "I'm gonna give you three seconds to live; one…!" The power forward immediately charged towards Kagami causing the redhead to run away on the spot.
"What happened to two and three?!" the super jumper cried out as he was being chased by the other.
"Oh boy, this could get ugly." Kise turned to Kuroko, "Kurokocchi, you stay right here; I'll be right back."
"Okay Kise-san." the bluenette replied as the blond ran after the other two freshman.
Kuroko could faintly hear Kise call out to Aomine, "Aominecchi, I understand he deserves it, but don't hurt him!"
"Oh I'm not gonna hurt Kise, I'm gonna kill him!"
"Don't I get a vote?!" the redhead cried out.
"HELL NO!"
Kuroko sighed heavily as he sat down on the bench to wait for the others to come back. "I must not have had any normal friends in middle school." he bluntly said aloud to himself.
