Kuroko no Basket Fic

Chapter 5

"So, how are you guys going to help Kuroko now?" Himuro asked the other teens as they were all seated in the court's bench area.

"I dunno, but all I know is if he doesn't snap outta this soon, our coach is gonna kill me!" Kagami said in fear.

"Taiga, don't you think you're overreacting a bit?"

"Oh no Himurocchi, I was there; she intends to kill Kagamicchi if Kurokocchi is not better." Kise answered.

"It sucks to be you, Bakagami." Aomine said in a mocking tone receiving a heated glare from the redhead. "I can't believe we weren't able to snap Tetsu outta of this."

"I know; I thought for sure he'd remember his middle school teammates. I mean you guys are pretty much unforgettable." Takao said.

"Exactly." the navy eyed teen said in agreement.

"Well it seems like Atsushi is taking all of this well." the mirage shooter said as he and the other teens stared at Murasakibara and Kuroko.

"Here Kuro-chin, you can have these." the purple haired giant said as he handed the bluenette a bag of hard candy he got out of his grocery bag. "It's vanilla flavored candy."

Kuroko opened the bag and reached into the bag to pull out a piece of the cream colored candy. When he popped it in his mouth, a small yet bright smile arose on his face as the candy's taste tickled his taste buds. "Wow, this candy is as delicious as that milkshake I had yesterday. Vanilla is so good; thanks Murasakibara-san." the light blue eyed teen said as he happily ate his candy.

"Sure thing." the ace center said with a lazy smile on his face as he began to eat a bag of cookies.

As the other teens were watching the scene before them, Himuro spoke up, "Is it just me, or does it look like Atsushi is feeding a little lost puppy?"

"Oh good you see it too." the copycat player said in relief receiving a blank look from his boyfriend.

"If anyone has any other ideas to help Kuroko and save my hide, I'd sure like to hear 'em." Kagami said.

Takao looked over to Midorima and noticed that he was busily typing on his phone. "Shin-chan, you've been on your phone for the longest; what are you doing?"

"Texting someone." the green haired teen replied. Once he received the text he was waiting for, Midorima flipped his phone closed before saying, "I have an idea that may work."

These words got everyone's attention except for Kuroko who was focusing his attention on enjoying his sweet treats. "You do, Midorimacchi?" Kise asked in high hopes receiving a nod in return.

"Well don't keep us in suspense Shin-chan; spill the beans." the hawk eye player said.

"It's a bit of a stretch, but if we can't snap Kuroko out of his amnesia," Midorima pushed up his glasses with his index finger, "there's only one person who can."

Everyone was wondering who the three point ace was referring to, but when Kise and Aomine saw the look in Midorima's eyes, they figured it out. "…Midorima, you don't mean?" the power center said with widened eyes.

The green eyed teen nodded as Kise asked, "Oh Midorimacchi, say it's not so!"

Midorima gave a short nod, "It's the only way."

"Who are they talking about?" Himuro asked.

"I dunno; I'm assuming it's a Generation of Miracles' thing." Takao replied.

"You guys mind filling the non Generation of Miracles players in?" the super jumper asked the three teens.

"The only person that can possibly help Kuroko is the very person who taught him the skills he needed in order to become known as the phantom player." the Shutoku ace explained.

As the gears turned in Kagami's mind, he finally realized who Midorima was referring to. He became pale and trembled in fear at the thought of the person. Himuro noticed his brother's odd behavior and asked him, "Taiga, what's with you all of a sudden?"

The crimson eyed teen disregarded Himuro's question as he pleaded in a panicked tone, "No…don't say it; don't say his name!"

Takao furrowed his eyebrow at Kagami as he asked, "Why his name isn't Voldemort is it?"

Kagami, Aomine, Kise, and Himuro gave the turquoise eyed teen blank looks as Midorima explained, "He's been reading a lot of wizard fantasy lately. And no Takao even though he just as threatening, it's…"

"Don't say it!" the redhead cried out in fear.

"Akashi Seijuro." Midorima said disregarding the super jumper's pleas.

"I'M DEAD!" Kagami bluntly cried out loud.

Aomine patted the redhead's shoulder out of sympathy as he said, "Well Bakagami, our rivalry was a good one, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end."

Kagami gave the navy haired teen an astonished look before Murasakibara patted his head with his free hand, "Don't worry Kaga-chin, I'll take care of Muro-chin and Kuro-chin in your honor."

Kise sniffed as though he were crying while pulling out a handkerchief and bringing it to his eye. "I'll never forget you Kagamicchi; just know I always liked you!" the golden eyed teen cried.

"Don't go killing me off, damn it!" the crimson eyed teen roared in anger.

"Oh come on, Akashi isn't really going to kill Taiga over this is he?" Himuro asked receiving disbelieving looks from the Generation of Miracles players.

"Oh yes he is, Himurocchi." Kise seriously answered.

"He nearly stabbed Kagami with a pair of scissors just for intruding on our meeting at Winter Cup." Midorima added.

"Scary…" Takao said shivering in fear.

Himuro furrowed his eyebrow as he gave Kagami a perplexed look, "Scissors?"

The redhead shook his head as he replied, "It's a long story."

"According to the text message he sent me, Akashi should be meeting us here soon." Midorima informed.

"Okay so who's gonna break this to him?" Aomine asked.

"I'll do it; I'm good at this kind of thing." Kise replied.

"Well if you're gonna tell him, could you leave me outta of it?" Kagami asked.

The copycat player stared at the other teen flabbergasted at the request. "Are you suggesting that I lie to Akashicchi? I can't do that; he hates it when lie especially to his face. Do you know what happened to the last guy who had the guts to lie to Akashicchi's face?"

"No…" the redhead answered.

"Exactly!"

"Okay, now I know I'm gonna die!" Kagami said in defeat.

"Kagami-san seems upset about something." They all noticed Kuroko came out of nowhere standing beside Takao still eating the candy Murasakibara gave him.

"Well considering that Lady Death is breathing down his neck, I'm not surprised." the hawk eye player added as Kuroko stared at him in confusion.

After waiting for what seemed like an hour, the teens noticed Rakuzan's captain coming their way. They all began to brace themselves for what was to come. "Okay everyone let me do all the talking and hopefully we'll get through this without any bloodshed." Kise said.

"I wonder if it's too late to write my last will and testament." Kagami said freaking out.

"If I were you, I'd be worried about having life insurance." Aomine added.

Akashi walked up to the group with a small smile on his face. "Well, it's good to see you and your teammates are all doing well. And I see Tetsuya brought along that idiot teammate of his as well."

"Is calling me an idiot a thing with you guys?!" Kagami asked.

The heterochromatic eyed teen ignored the super jumper's outburst and turned his attention on Midorima. "So what's this big problem that you had me come from all the way from Kyoto for, Shintaro?" Before the green eyed teen could reply, Akashi noticed Kuroko looking at him strangely from the corner of his eye. "Any particular reason why you're looking at me like that, Tetsuya?"

Kuroko looked around before looking back at the other, "You're talking to me right?"

"…Yes, I am."

"Oh; so who are you, sir?" the bluenette asked in return while the others fell over anime style as Akashi furrowed his eyebrow at him.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Kagami cried out in sheer disbelief.

"…Okay, maybe it was a bit of a stretch." Midorima said.

"Ya think?!" Aomine added.

"Tetsuya, why would you ask me such a ridiculous question?" the red haired captain asked.

"Because I don't know you." the light blue eyed teen bluntly answered.

Akashi stared at the bluenette in confusion before turning attention on the other teens, "What's going on here?"

"Now Akashicchi, there's no easy way to say this but…"

"Tetsu lost his memory so he has no idea who any of us are." Aomine chimed in interrupting Kise's explanation.

Akashi's eyes widened slightly at what his ex-teammate said as Kise stared at his boyfriend astounded, "Aominecchi, we agreed I was going to tell him."

"Yeah, you took too long."

"As you all know, I'm not the jovial type, so I don't find this funny." the Emperor eyed teen said in a serious tone.

"Well that's good, because this isn't a joke." Midorima said.

"We're serious Akashicchi, he really doesn't remember anything!"

"Do you really think we'd drag you all the way from Kyoto to lie about something like this? Especially considering what happened to that guy who lied to your face." Aomine added.

"Whatever happened to him, Aka-chin?" Murasakibara asked in curiosity despite the lazy tone in his voice.

"That's a story for another time, Atsushi." Akashi peered over to his ex-teammate, "Tetsuya?"

"Yes?"

"I want you to look me in the eye and answer my question truthfully. Do you really have no recollection of who I am?"

Kuroko's light blue eyes stared directly into the other's heterochromatic ones as he replied, "No, I really don't; I'd think I'd remember someone with opposite colored eyes. Are you wearing contacts or something?"

As the redhead stared into the other's eyes, he could see that Kuroko wasn't lying. He was quiet for a second until a forced smile appeared on his face, "Tetsuya, would you mind stepping to the side for a moment."

Kuroko shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly as he did as he was told, "…Okay."

"Ryota, who caused this?" the genius captain asked in a threatening tone through clenched teeth.

"Now Akashicchi, let's not point fingers."

"Maybe you did not hear me the first time, so let me put this terms for you all to understand. Either tell me who is responsible or they're not the only one who is going to get hurt."

The other three Generation of Miracles players answered their ex-captain while pointing fingers at Kagami. "He did it." Midorima said.

"It's all his fault." Aomine added.

"Kaga-chin's to blame." Murasakibara said.

Kagami couldn't believe the three prodigies sold him out like that. "You traitors!"

"Oh shut it, Bakagami; we're not getting killed over you!" Aomine said.

The taller redhead stared at them flabbergasted as Himuro shook his head at the sight, "This is just sad."

"I agree with you there." Takao added.

A forced yet threatening smile arose on Akashi's face as he stared at the taller with narrowed eyes. That smile was enough to not only have Kagami quivering in fear, but the other Generation of Miracles as well. "So you're responsible for this; I might have known."

"I-I-If it helps, it was accident and I didn't mean to." the super jumper said in his defense with a nervous smile on his face.

At that moment, Akashi began laughing manically which made them even more nervous and frightened. "Akashicchi's laughing." Kise said in a terrified tone.

"I hear him laughing." Midorima said.

"Oh man, hell's about to break loose now." Aomine added.

"What's up; is Akashi laughing a bad thing?" the silver eyed teen asked.

"Yes because when Aka-chin laughs like that, bad things happen." Murasakibara replied.

"Why are you covering my eyes, Murasakibara-san?" the perplexed bluenette asked as the ace center's hand covered half of his face.

"Trust me Kuro-chin; you don't want to see this."

"You know, I decided against striking you down at Winter Cup because of your quick reflexes, but now," Snipping sounds were heard as they all noticed a pair of sharp red scissors were in Akashi's hand and a dark threatening aura enveloped him, "I have an excuse to finish what I started."

"Or we can just talk this out like men and you won't have to kill me?!" Kagami suggested backing away from the stalking teen in fear.

"No, I think I'll just skip to killing you."

Kise jumped to Kagami's defense and tried to get his ex-captain to stand down, "Now Akashicchi, calm down and think about what you're doing!"

"Ryota, you have one second to get out of my way or I'll damage that face of yours…permanently." the threatening redhead swore to the blond.

"He's all yours." the golden eyed teen immediately said as he moved out of his ex-captain's way.

"WHAT?!" the redhead cried out in astonishment.

"I'm sorry Kagamicchi; I like you and all, but as a famous model, I can't afford to have anything happen to my face!"

"Kise, that's pathetic." Aomine said to his lover in a shameful tone.

"Then you help him, Aominecchi."

The power forward ace furrowed his eyebrow at Kise. "Are you crazy; unlike that idiot I'm not tired of living. Besides, I still have my whole life ahead of me." Aomine said not holding anything back.

"Seriously, I'm standing right here!" the flabbergasted crimson eyed teen cried out in anger.

"Oh don't worry, I'll put out of misery soon enough." Akashi added in a dangerous tone as the approached the scared redhead, ready to strike with his scissors.

"Hey wait a minute, you can't kill Taiga over something like this!" Himuro said going after the genius captain only to be pulled back by his taller teammate. The silver eyed teen turned to Murasakibara with a slight frown, "Atsushi, what's the deal?"

"I'm not letting Muro-chin get killed over Kaga-chin."

"Then do something to stop him, Atsushi."

"I can't go against Aka-chin; that'll get me killed." the violet eyed teen retorted making his boyfriend sigh in defeat.

"Alright, this is getting ridiculous." Midorima said as he walked up towards the two redheads only to have Takao pull him back after latching on his arm. "Takao, what are you doing?"

"Shin-chan, you can't risk saving Kagami; we haven't even been on our date yet!" the turquoise eyed teen replied trying to save his precious lover from danger.

Everyone stared blankly at Takao before Midorima yelled at him, "Shut up, idiot!" He got out of Takao's grasp and went to stand in between Kagami and Akashi.

Akashi stared at his ex-teammate with a cold look in his eyes. "Shintaro, get out of my way so I can kill him."

The Shutoku ace stood his ground as he said, "Look Akashi, I know what Kagami did was stupid and no doubt he'll do something stupider than this in the future, and maybe he deserves to have scissors lodged into him…wait, where I was going with this?"

"You were 'trying' to keep him from killing me?!" the irritated super jumper said through clenched teeth.

"…Oh right," Midorima replied as Kagami rolled his eyes, "anyway despite how you feel about this, killing him isn't going to change anything."

Akashi pondered on his ex-teammate's words before backing down from his goal. "Fine I'll let him live…" the Rakuzan ace said making Kagami sigh heavily with relief before speaking again, "for now."

The super jumper gulped as Midorima said to him, "Consider that the first and last time I ever defend you."

Kagami gave the other an astonished look, "Do you people own a dictionary?"

Kise patted his shoulder with an assuring smile on his face, "Look on the bright side Kagamicchi, Akashicchi letting you live a little longer."

"Don't I feel lucky?" Kagami said sarcastically.

Midorima adjusted his glasses with his finger as he said, "I must admit Kagami, you're one lucky fool."

"Yeah Bakagami, I thought for sure Akashi was going to go all serial killer on you." Aomine said in a mocking tone.

"Kaga-chin is too lucky for his own good." Murasakibara said nonchalantly as he stuck a stick of strawberry flavored pocky in his mouth.

"If Tetsuya doesn't recover from his amnesia, I'll take great pleasure in ending his lucky streak…permanently." Akashi added while twirling his scissors around his finger with a dangerous smirk and look in his mismatched eyes.

The crimson eyed teen grew pale and his blood ran cold at the sound of those words as Himuro and Takao consoled him. "T-T-Thanks for the warning." he stammered in fear.

"Wow Kagami-san, with all of these people disliking you, it's amazing that you even get up in the mornings." Kuroko said bluntly while eating his candy.

Kagami glared at the bluenette before a strained smile arose on his face, "Kuroko, you're lucky you have amnesia."
