Chapter 5 : Their Contract

Kuroko dragged Akashi's body to the side so that if the hunters outside start shooting another rain of bullets, Akashi won't get hit. Kuroko then checked Akashi's pulse after dragging him while casting a protective shield spell around him and Akashi. His pulse was faint and weak, and his breath was labored. His consciousness hasn't returned either.

Finished checking, Kuroko stood up and strengthened the protective shield around Akashi's body. Sneakily, he walked to the window again, and saw that the hunters was preparing for another attack. Without any other choice, he drew a magic circle in the room, big enough to cover all of the hunters if all of them were to go inside the room.

To execute his plan, Kuroko needed all of the hunters to be inside the room. He created a hologram of himself, with black hood so that they will notice him, near the forest, in the place where he could be seen and would attract attention. The hologram started to run to the room and as expected, it caught the attention of those hunters and they started to follow it, towards the room.

'Wait until the perfect time. Do not panic. I am unseen. They will not notice that I'm here'

"You all! I just saw our target ran to the room through the window, let's go after him!" One of them shouted, and all of the hunters are starting to gather at the room.

All of them looked at every direction, before one of them realized. "Hey...didn't we just saw the target inside this room? So, how can he run here from the outside?"

"Eh?"

"You're right! How can he be outside?"

'It seems that one of them is not really dumb'

Kuroko then walked silently to the edge of the magic circle, to where he could touch it with his skin. "Darkness of the night. I am Kuroko Tetsuya. The last remaining member of Kuroko family. With my blood as your evidence and medium, lend me your power." Kuroko recited the darkness magic like before, and the black void started to form inside the magic circle.

But it stopped.

The void stopped, and disappeared. It had only consumed half of the hunters inside the magic circle, and not all of the hunters he saw outside were inside it. Kuroko then started to panic since the remaining hunters inside the circle, about eight, were starting to notice him. Kuroko could only walked backwards as the hunters was closing in on him.

A step back, two steps back, another step back, and his back met the wall. Kuroko then slid down to the floor. He was desperately trying to remember every, any spell he could use. But he doesn't had anymore energy.

Kuroko closed his eyes, then looked to his right side. There lay Akashi Seijuurou, surrounded by the protective spell he had casted earlier. Kuroko smiled meekly, then outstretched one of his hands.

'At least I could use my remaining energy to protect you, who had protected me'

Kuroko's fingers touched Akashi's palm and he just started to recite the protective shield's spell, before the palm he's touching started to move, and then curled around Kuroko's fingers before a red light erupted from Akashi's body and spread out. Engulfing the room with it.

"I got tired playing the 'injured man' act" A voice that Kuroko knew as Akashi's said. The said man then stood, like the wound in his neck and shoulder are nothing, which was true. The skin was clean, with no blood or wound.

Akashi then looked at all of the hunters surrounding him and Kuroko. "Don't you all know that this place is my office? Why did you all make such a mess in my office?" Akashi asked. His voice was normal, but one look at his face, and everyone would know that Akashi was angry, while Kuroko was still confused by the sudden 'resurrection' of Akashi.

"C...Captain Akashi" One of the hunter stuttered.

"I believe that I already made a mutual agreement with the head of Hunter Association" Akashi said.

"B...but our target..."

"Shut up." Akashi curtly said, and the room went eerily silent. "Kill anyone who dared to defy me, Gabriel" Akashi said, which Kuroko assumed was a spell. After Akashi said that, the red light engulfed the room shine brighter and the room suddenly felt really hot. Akashi then walked to Kuroko's side before strengthening the protective shield around him and Kuroko.

Kuroko could only watch as the hunters started burning, the heat brought a fire and that fire burned all of the hunters bodies into nothing. The red light dispersed and the protective shield around him was gone. Kuroko then tried to stand, and failed as his body fall again to the floor. His vision started getting blurry, and he felt so tired. Using the darkness attack in a big scale was dangerous. Kuroko could feel the darkness inside his body started getting bigger.

'Maybe this is my end. My regenerative ability is not working'

"I won't let it end. Kuroko Tetsuya, you're too interesting to die now" Akashi said, as if knowing what's going on in Kuroko's mind. Akashi then started making a magic circle with his blood in the place where Kuroko had made his. Finishing, he walked to Kuroko and carried him to the middle of it.

"Akashi-kun, what are you doing!?"

"Shh...It's alright. Trust me" Akashi said as he put Kuroko down and help him to stand. Akashi then held Kuroko's hands and mumbled something, before another red light engulfed them.

"I, Akashi Seijuurou, accept you, Kuroko Tetsuya, from the Akashi Family's branch house, the Kuroko Family, as a part of me. Let my blood, my powers, my body, my life, and my existence become one with him." Akashi said, then bit his lower lip until it drawed blood, and kissed Kuroko on the lips. Kuroko willingly open his lips, letting the blood flow into him.

As Akashi's blood flowed inside of him, Kuroko could feel the darkness inside of him disperse. A moment later, a gush of Akashi's memory suddenly hit him like a slide show. Akashi's childhood, his fate, the moment where Akashi is the weakest, all of it. In return, Akashi saw all of Kuroko's memories and feelings. Even his deepest secret.

"What are you, and what have you done to me, Akashi Seijuurou?" Kuroko asked after Akashi broke their kiss. Kuroko felt something inside of him, another presence of living being, replacing the darkness.

"I made a contract with you. If I didn't, you would have died from all of the darkness inside of you." Akashi explained. "And I'm just Akashi Seijuurou. The special squad military's captain and the head of Akashi Family. You should have known that much from my memory" He answered, smiling while cupping Kuroko's cheek.

"A...contract?"

"It means that we're sealed, tied together. So, if you die, I die. You could use my power, and in exchange, I could use your power. Though not all" Akashi explained. "Well...at least you could use my power to silence a dog" He added.

"A dog? Is your power that I can use that's weak?" Kuroko asked. Getting used to the new presence and memory.

"No. That dog is quite big and annoying actually. It would be another minute before all of them barge in here. Just wait and you will know" Akashi said and Kuroko nodded. A minute went by in a flash and true to Akahsi's words, a rainbow showed up at the door.

"Akashi! Are you alright!?" A tanned male with blue hair asked.

'Aomine Daiki, 24 years old, lazy and perverted' Kuroko thought instictively. The memory from Akashi instantly recognised the male with one glance though Kuroko himself knew nothing about this person. That goes to all person in the room right now.

"Akashicchi!" After Aomine, a yellow haired male shouted.

'Kise Ryouta, 24 years old, handsome but annoying. His face could be used to trick the enemies though'

"Kise, don't shout in the hall" Following Kise was a green haired male. His right hand carried a bottle of some black water, while his left hand was fixing his glasses.

'Midorima Shintarou, 24 years old, a good tactician, but hopeless when he's not with his lucky item of the day'

"Ne, ne...Is Aka-chin still alive?" The last one, a purple haired male.

'Murasakibara Atsushi, 24 years old, a glutton'

"Akashi-kun. You really have to change your way of thinking about your subordinates's personality. It's not nice and none of them are good" Kuroko said bluntly.

"All of it is true. You have no room for complaints"

"Well..."

"Hm? Who is this little guy?" Aomine asked.

"Little?" Akashi and Kuroko said in unison.

"I...I mean, who are you?" Aomine re-phrased.

"I'm Kuroko Tetsuya. Nice to meet you, Aomine-kun" Kuroko said, then bowed.

"H...How did you know my name?" Aomine asked, looking surprised.

"I know everyone in this room's name" Kuroko said. "You are Aomine Daiki, the blonde is Kise Ryouta, the green one is Midorima Shintarou, and the purple one is Murasakibara Atsushi"

"Wow! That's totally right, Kurokocchi!" Kise said.

"Cchi? Please don't call me Kurokocchi"

"I add –cchi to the name-"

"Of the person you respect. Yes I know that" Kuroko said, cutting Kise's words.

"Who are you?" Midorima asked seriously.

"I thought you would at least recognise his name, Shintarou" Akashi said, his left hand found a place at Kuroko's shoulder.

"His name? Kuroko Tetsuya?" Midorima said uncertainly, before realization hit him. "Kuroko? Another Akashi Family's branch house? The shadow of Akashi Family?" Midorima asked.

"You got the right person here" Akashi said. "I was uncertain at first, but yes, he is a real member of Kuroko Family" He added.

"Uncertain? Wh-" Kuroko's words cutted by the sudden loss of strength of his feet and before he knew it, he was already in the arms of Akashi who caught him when he fell.

"Wh..y? What...is...this..." Kuroko said. His breathing started getting labored, and his vision started getting blurry. The same feeling as before.

"All of you, get out. Now" Akashi's commanding voice entered Kuroko's ears and not long, he could hear the door closing. Akashi then let him go, putting him in a sitting position. After that, he started unbuttoning his dress shirt.

"W...what are you doing!?" Kuroko asked, panicking as he put some distance with Akashi.

"Tetsuya, drink my blood" Akashi said, stopping at the third button only to reveal his neck.

"What? Why?"

"Part of the contract. I said Let my blood, my powers, my body, my life, and my existence become one with him right? It means that we're one person, but at the same time, we're two different person. Your body can live because I'm still here and to retain your energy, you need my blood" Akashi explained. "You also need it to slow the darkness invasion inside of you"

"Dark...ness?"

"It wasn't fully gone. What I do is just temporarily banishing it. It will slowly come back. But with my blood, you could at least destroy the little parts of it. Slowing it down"

"You don't have to...For someone like me.."

"When I said drink, then drink! Do not defy me! I need you. And you need me. You want your revenge for your family right? Your memory had show it!" Akashi asked, and Kuroko nodded.

"Then, drink my blood. I will help you, and you will help me. Mutual agreement"

"Yes"
