Hey~! Akaku-chan here~! Thank you so much for all the support! I'm having such a great time writing this~!And it's even better to know that some people might actually be joying this. So with out further ado, I give you, Chapter Three!

But first things first. As you know, The rights belong to Tadatoshi Fujimaki.

Chapter Three, Teiko Private High.

'And that ends the tour of Teiko Private High,' Kuroko told Akashi after they had made it all the way down to the grounds. 'Impressed?'

Akashi looked at the beautiful grounds with slight disinterest, 'Nothing new.' He answered finally.

Kuroko was taken aback, no one was unimpressed by the grounds, they were magnificent! With lush gardens that stretched into a beautiful hideaway for those who want to do homework in peace, or even those who wanted to slip away with their partners for some quiet privacy. The grounds themselves that seemed to go on for miles, where the younger children can play without disrupting their seniors. The beautifully paved walkway where you are granted the pleasure of strolling under the cherry blossoms, or if that doesn't appeal to you, then perhaps, one of the many other kinds of trees that the school had shipped, then planted around the school. Or the glorious fountain the stood proudly in the gardens. there was nothing unextraodinary about the grounds! Any ordinary person would be amazed. But then again, Akashi Seijuro wasn't an ordinary person.

Akashi was the person that just awhile before had read the emotions of the always impossible to read Kuroko Tetsuya. Examining him more closely, Kuroko got the impression that to this particular boy, the grounds really were nothing special.

'Well... I like them...' Kuroko mumbled, not understanding why he felt slightly put out.

Akashi turned to look at him. 'I think they're beautiful. Just.. nothing new. Better then most, and the tour guide's nice as well, which gives it points.' He gave a small smile.

Kuroko's heart skipped a beat, he returned the smile with a rare one of his own. 'Have you been to other private schools before?' He asked, noting the slight discomfort that flashed through Akashi's eyes, 'Must be a sore subject,' he mentally told himself, so as not to make the same mistake again.

'Um, yeah, I've been to a few...' He mumbled in reply.

Kuroko regretted asking. The sad look on Akashi's face pulled at his heart strings. 'Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything... It's none of my business.'

Akashi's face relaxed. 'It's alright, don't worry about it, I just don't like talking about it.' His voice was soft, but sounded sad all the same.

'Well, why don't we head inside and unpack the rest of your stuff?' Kuroko asked, worried that he damaged his friendship before it had even began.

'Yes, I think that sounds like a good idea, and Tetsuya... don't be worried, I'm fine.' He searched the smaller boy's face reading the worry perfectly.

Again! Kuroko was shocked, for the second time that day he easily figured out what Kuroko was feeling, never before could anyone read Koroko's emotions, just like his presence his emotions were completely invisible.

Kuroko stared at Akashi in awe, 'Um... Akashi-kun...' He didn't finish, not really knowing what to say.

'It's in your body movements. Most people show it in their faces when they're feeling a particular emotion, but you, you show it a different way, I could tell instantly tell when I met you. I've met a lot of business men. They all try to hide their emotions when doing business. I have good eyes so I learned a lot.' He said this all quite matter-of-factly.

'How did you...'

'How did I know you were going to ask that? Simple, I noticed you looked surprised when I told you that you looked hopeful earlier. So I watched you as you gave me the tour and as soon as I told you not to be worried about me, you got the same look as before. You're obviously not use to people reading your emotions.' He glanced at Kuroko, wondering if he was going to get mad.

Kuroko stared at the cunning boy in front of him, at a lost for words. He wasn't mad, but he wasn't particularly happy either. Unlike his presence, he liked the fact that people couldn't read his emotions, it scared people, so they never tried to upset him.

'It's okay, I understand if I upset you, I do that often. People usually find me off-putting, or in other words, unlikable.' He said all this with a casual voice, but his eyes told a different story. They flickered with a sadness that seemed to have been there for years.

Kuroko looked into those sad eyes feeling a mixture of emotion. Without even thinking about it, he wrapped his arms around Akashi, pressing his face into the red-haired boy's shoulder, he mumbled to him, 'It's okay, Akashi-kun you didn't upset me. I was just surprised, and I like you so you don't have to worry about people telling you that you're unlikable. 'Cause, uh... I'll beat them up if they do!' He looked directly at Akashi as he finished, a fire burning in his eyes.

Akashi looked down at the boy, slightly surprised by the hug and slightly amused at the statement. 'You don't need to do that, it's fine...' His voice shook with emotion. 'Ahem,' he cleared his throat, regaining his composure, 'we should go finish unpacking like you said earlier.'

Kuroko nodded, then realizing his situation, he let go of Akashi, his face burning slightly. 'Um... yes, let's go...' He turned to leave, walking straight into another boy.

'Sorry! Oh my God! I'm so sorry!' The young mushroom-topped boy bowed deeply, 'I am so sorry! Please forgive me! Sorry!'

Kuroko shuffled his feet uneasily, 'it's alright, don't worry about it, Sakurai-kun'

Akashi examined the boy, he was about as tall as Akashi, he had short brown hair that was just a slight shade lighter then his large tearful eyes. he had a frail body with bad posture, if his skin wasn't so pale he'd look like a giraffe's leg. Akashi concluded his examination with a small smile.

'Oh! I'm sorry!' Said the giraffe boy, turning towards Akashi, 'I'm Sakurai Ryo!' He bowed deeply again.

'Akashi Seijuro, a pleasure.' He said, trying and failing not to sound sarcastic.

But if Sakurai heard the sarcasm he chose to ignore it, staring at Akashi intently for a moment, he then turned towards Kuroko and said, 'Aomine was looking for you, Kuroko-kun.'

'Oh... what does he want?' He asked, sounding tired all of the sudden.

'Why don'tcha ask me yourself, Tetsu,' Aomine walked into the light, marching right up to Kuroko. He put his arm across Kuroko's shoulders. 'How ya doin'? I haven't see ya since the spring, and ya haven't even tried to find me. I'm hurt Tetsu, hurt.' He said all this while, keeping a firm grip on Kuroko's shoulder.

Akashi watched Kuroko shuffle his feet as he spoke to the older boy. He raised an eyebrow, understanding instantly that Kuroko was uncomfortable.

'Daiki, I believe Tetsuya would like you to let him go.' He said, watching for a reaction.

Aomine stopped when he heard the new boy use his first name, his face lowered into a scowl. 'If Tetsu had a problem he'd tell me himself. See, unlike you, I've known Tetsu since we were little kids.' His scowl rose into some sort of smug sneer, 'Ya know what, I think you should just leave now,' he gave a mock wave, 'see ya.'

Akashi's eyebrows went up to his hairline 'Excuse me?'

'What, did I hit a nerve?' His smirk widened.

'Oh no, that's not it,' Akashi's voice picked up his usual snide tone, 'you were just speaking so unclearly, I thought prehaps you might have had something stuck in your throat.'

And with that he grabbed Kuroko's hand and pulled him away from the shocked teen and walked into the school, 'You're friends with him?' Akashi asked, his back to the younger boy.

Kuroko, who was staring at the older boy in wonder, shook himself out of his daze. 'I was.. am, I...' He sighed, how was he supposed to explain Aomine to his new friend?

'Whatever, I guess I should apologize, since he's your friend...' his voice trailed off as if apologizing was the last thing he wanted to do.

'No... it was kinda funny...' His smile was missed by Akashi, who still had his back to him.

Akashi turned to face him, 'Listen, I don't care if he was or is your friend. If you don't want someone to hold you, then you make sure you tell them to let you go,' he gave Kuroko a stern look. 'What if something happened? What if someone held you down? What would you do then? At least tell them no! Don't make yourself an easy target!'

'I didn't.. I.. Aomine-kun wouldn't hurt me!' He shot back lamely.

'I'm just saying! You never know! Speak up sometimes! Do you enjoy make those around you worry?!' Akashi's voice hitched in his throat, why was he so mad? He hasn't even known the boy a day!

'Did I worry you, Akashi-kun?' Despite the fact that Akashi was mad, Kuroko couldn't help but smile slightly at the blush creeping up Akashi's face.

'That- that's not the point! Just.. be more careful!' He glared at Kuroko, annoyed that he was right.

'Oh well,' Kuroko said, trying not to smile, 'Let's just go back to our room now.

Akashi agreed, and they made their way back to their room in silence.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Aomine glared at the two retreating boys. 'I really don't like that boy.' He thought annoyed.

'Aomine, are you okay?' Sakurai asked concerned.

'Huh? I'm fine,' he looked down at the frail boy's concerned face. 'Why's he so worried? What a freak.'

'But you look mad...' His voice trailed off, scared of the glare Aomine just gave him.

'I'm fine.' He was about to say more, but he was cut off by the familiar clicking sound a pair of glasses make as you readjust them. He turned in slight dread knowing what was about to come.

'Aomine,' said a stiff voice in what most likely was supposed to be a greeting. 'I do hope you aren't chasing Kurko around again.' He glared at him from over his glasses.

To be fair, it wasn't really a glare, Midorima Shitaro just always looked angry.

'Ah, Midorima. Nice to see ya too, how've ya been?' He said avoiding the question.

Midrioma sniffed disapprovingly. 'How have I been? I'll tell you how I've been.'

'Uh oh, what have I done?' Aomine thought, noticing his mistake much too late.

He cleared his throat, preparing himself for the rant about to come. 'I've been horrible. I've had possibly the worst summer you can dream of! Not only was Cancer under the third spot for a good half of it! I've had nothing short of an incurable headache! I tried all the remedies I know! Which includes drowning, burning, and pushing of a Goddamn cliff! I even threatened to get a restraining order! But no! It just returned, day after day! But you see, Aomine, this is why you don't feed animals, because then they'll just keep coming back for more! And I, well I made that mistake! I just thought maybe I would indulge him for half a second, but no! He get's the wrong impression and just decides we're going to spend the rest of the Goddamn summer together!' He was breathing heavily after the earth-shaking rant.

Aomine was confused, but only for a moment, because just as he was about to ask about the headache, it popped out at him, literally.

'Shin-chan! I found you!' Said a black-haired boy, popping out from behind a bush 'What were you talking about? Was it our wonderful summer together? Or perhaps the magical ki-' he didn't get the chance to finish the sentence on the account of Midorima's hand slamming against his mouth, muffling his words.

'That's enough, Takao' Midirma hissed in his ear.

Aomine raised a questioning eyebrow. 'Sorry, Takao, I didn't catch that last bit there, a magical what?' An amused glint in his eye revealed that he already knew the answer.

'Anyways,' Midorima said, clearing his throat, keeping a firm hand on the now slightly purple Takao. 'Why are you pouting? Did Kuroko turn you down, again?' As soon as Midorima saw the flicker in Aomine's eyes, he knew that he had hit the nail on the head.

'No...' He replied with what was supposed to be an uncaring voice, but sounded more like a smile child who's favourite toy gotten taken away.

'I thought as much... you should really just get over him, this is kind of pathetic.' He shook his head at the slightly shorter boy.

But before Aomine could snap a good insult back something occurred to him. 'You tried to push Takao off a cliff?' He was afraid to know the answer.

'Yes, I was not lying about any of it. He dragged me to go hiking. Yes, hiking of all things! And Me, Midorima Shintaro, of all people!'

At this Aomine had to nod, Midorima plus hiking, not gonna happen.

'So, anyways. He was dragging me up the mountain and when he finally decided we could take a break to look over the horizon, I pushed him.' He spoke with no guilt, none at all.

'But... he's right there.' Aomine pointed out, not at all surprised by the answer.

'Unfortunately, he somehow knew what I was planning and grabbed on to the tree before he fell, thus he did not die.' He sighed heavily, as if recounting the story of Takao living was a sad reminder of something that could have been great.

'What about the drowning and the burning...?'

'Ah, the drowning. See, when he brought me to the beach I pushed him off the dock. Unfortunately, the Lifeguard saw and pulled him out. And for the burning, he had tried to make me bake sweets with him so I waited until he opened the oven and shoved his head in. But as it turned out, Takao is an idiot and forgot to turn the oven on.' He shook his head in disgust.

'Okay... and the restraining order...?'

'I don't know what happened that time. I just know he said something to the officer I was talking to, then he got away free.' At this Midorima took off his glasses to clean them and rubbed his eyes. As if it was his last ditch effort to get rid of the "headache" and it really pained him that it didn't work.

'Uh... Okay... by the way... I think you're suffocating him.' Aomine pointed at the now blue Takao.

'Oh... I guess I am...' He reluctantly let him go. Takao looked up at Aomine grinning. 'It was fun! Shin-chan really enjoyed himself!' His eyes sparkled happily as if it didn't matter that Midorima just admitted to trying to kill him, on several different occasions.

'That's good... I think... Um... So... Tetsu has a new friend.' He glanced at Midorima, wondering what he thought of this.

'Naturally, He is a teenager after all, I would hope he was making friends. I assume it's this "Akashi Seijuro" I've heard so much about.'

Aomine was surprised. 'You've heard about him? How? Oh...' And in unison they both said 'Kise.'

Midorima nodded, 'He's been texting me none-stop for the last four to five hours.' He pushed his glasses up in obvious irritation.

'Ah, so what do ya think?' He asked, looking anywhere but at Midorima.

'I don't care.' He said bluntly, 'I'm not too fond of Kuroko.'

Aomine sighed, he should have known, Midorima doesn't really care one way or another what his friends are doing.

'Come on, Shin-chan, we should go see who your new roommate is.' Takao said, grabbing Midorima's arm.

'I hope it's not you again.'

'Ah, Shin-chan, you're so cute,' He patted the green-haired boy on the back. 'Let's go now.' He grabbed Midorima's hand and pulled him towards the building, he winked at Aomine as he walked by. 'I told the officers that Shin-chan was a tsundere, they believed me, that's how I got out of the restraining order.' Takao whispered.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Well, that's all, I really liked writing for Midorima. So be warned, He'll be back.

Also I like to take a minute to thank my good friend, K.K. Kid for helping me out so much. And if you like Yu Yu Hakusho or Ouran High School Host Club, you should check out K.K. Kid~!
