A/N: Ignore my grammar mistake and enjoy.
This is not Kise x Kuroko unless you guys want it to be, I prefer AkaKuro.
"I think we should call him Kise Nekochan!"
"He is not a cat idiot!"
"But what else should we call him?"
"Akashi is deciding the name, he is better at naming someone than you."
"Eh?"
The former assassin watch the scene of the two boys fighting in front of him wondering why they are so worked up on naming him. Ever since he joins this group he starts to learn that they all are very . . . different just like Kise. They all are very unique in their own way, such as Kise is the only one in the group that likes to laugh even though sometimes it is fate. He is like the sun in this group that brighten up that dark aura they always have around them. As if he is balancing them with his hyper and cheerful act.
It seems that everyone here used for Kise loud noise and always teases him and they seem not to care when he cries when they tease him because of his childish behavior. If he observes them further he can see that they all have a special way t make that blond smiles back even though they didn't show it especially Midorima, he looks cold on the outside but he is actually very nice and easily get worried.
The cockiest one in the group is none other than Aomine, he likes to challenge everyone that looks strong but even though he often challenges people on daily basis he never used his full power. It seems like he has no respect toward his challenger, well at least he is protective over his teammate.
There is one time an old women that lives on the second floor of an old apartment accidentally knock the pot plant she owns at us that is walking there out of coincidence. At that time the former assassin didn't do anything since he has no friend relationship with any of them so he doesn't care, when the pot almost hit their leader Aomine quickly destroy it to pieces or should I say to ashes so no harm is done to any of them.
He is quite strong for a sweeper that is the least the assassin can say and moreover the leader Akashi Seijuro doesn't seem surprise at all as if he expects it to happen.
For a glimpse he sees the red hair eyes changes color but he quickly shake it off since it is impossible, they are just normal human beings . . . right?
Anyway, Midorima looks like the smartest in the group because he is wearing glasses and act cool most of the time and he seems to be addicted with the horoscope. In this group he is the second one that spent most of their reward money for his so call 'lucky item', he find it quite amusing that they doesn't seem to mind for Midorima to have such a stupid believe. What kind of sweeper those believe in luck?
The others don't seem to care about their horoscope when Midorima tells them they have bad luck on few specific day so maybe they just the type not to butt in on people belief.
26 hours 12 minutes and 5 seconds.
He continue to count the time he start joining into their group, the first count is stop since his former master is dead.
Should he be happy?
Why is he counting in the first place?
"Is there something troubling you Tetsuya?" Akashi asks.
"Eh? Tetsuya?" Kise said confusedly.
"Kuroko Tetsuya that is what I decide to name him." Akashi says as he pats Kuroko head. "That shall be your name from now on."
They all didn't oppose of Akashi decision in fact they think it fits their new member rather well, maybe it is because Kuroko is always wearing dark gothic clothes all the time even though he doesn't look like a gothic person.
"Yeah! Kurokocchi finally have a name!" Kise shouts cheerfully.
It was then the former assassin feel an unfamiliar feeling come from Aomine when he suddenly get up from his sit and place his arms around Kise pulling him close. Even though the tainted boy is smiling he can tell the person is feeling something else but he can't express the emotion that Aomine is having since this is new to him.
"Are you two that close? Does this mean you're slacking when you're in that guy mansion and just play around with Tetsu?" Aomine asks.
"No I'm not." Kise face is burning red trying to get off from Aomine hold.
'Ah . . . Kise mention once about jealousy. Is it a good thing or a bad thing?'
He notices Akashi is keeping an eye on him even though he doesn't look like it as he drink his coffee with his eyes close listening to Midorima scolding Kise and Aomine not to create a scene to catch a lot of attention from the people in the restaurant. Murasakibara continue eating his mountain of sweets non-stop makes him wonder what kind of stomach this giant have. If it was him the only think he can eat in a day is a plate of rice.
Ever since he is little he never eats much.
Never asks for seconds because his stomach easily gets full.
"All of you seem to relax." Kuroko speaks. "I thought sweeper work non-stop so they get enough money to keep living."
"Indeed." Akashi said after putting down his tea-cup. "The man you used to work is a famous criminal that likes to kill people who are an obstacle for him to become richer and because of that the price for his body is already cost hundred thousand dollar and if we sell his body separately it will give us more reward money."
"Why do people even want to buy dead people and part of his bodies?"
"Information." Midorima speak joining in the conversation. "Even though you might not realize it, every part of a human body has history or important information that's needed for the higher up. Even an old scar can tell us something such as it happen at 5 years at the past and the place it happen. Such information is important to tell whether the person is guilty or what he has done this whole time."
Kuroko stay silence as he listens to Midorima talks, he never thought that people actually want information from someone body whether that person is dead or not.
"Does that mean the police didn't question criminals anymore?"
The a smile is form on his leader face amuse with Kuroko question, that smile of his make Midorima startle a bit before continuing eating his lunch, Murasakibara doesn't seem to care at all while Kise seem to full of curiosity why the table suddenly gone quitter as Aomine hand is still around him.
'Everyone seems to react to every of their leader sudden changes of emotion, I wonder why.'
Kuroko place his fork and spoon close to each other on the plate remembering his manner that is thought by a butler when he just move in to the mansion signing that he has finish his meals. After that they all walk out from the restaurant after paying for their food and the damage that cause by the two idiots earlier.
Two of them notice someone is watching but decide not to say anything, for Kuroko he didn't think too much about it since if that person is a threat he can simply kill that person while for Akashi he just want to see what that person will do. If that mysterious person is an enemy then he will please accepts that person challenge knowing well that nobody can defeat them especially when they have gain another strong member in their group.
Name: Kuroko Tetsuya
Former name: 444 (number of death)
Age: 15/16 years old.
History: An orphan before his sold to a rich man to become an assassin, he has lived by killing people as a daily basis this whole time but then begin to hesitate after he met a new friend (I repeat just 'Friend') Kise Ryota and his group. He join the sweepers since he has nowhere else to go.
Home: Unknown.
Ability: Turn any part of his body into a weapon.
All they did is nothing more than walking all day, Kuroko wonder if they going to search for another job soon or they will continue with this pace or travelling around until they run out of money.
"Kurokocchi! I'm bored!" Kise pull Kuroko toward him. "Let's forget about them and play with me!" Before Aomine and Kuroko can protest the blond already pull Kuroko away from that group before they even know it?
Midorima try as hard as possible not to scream out loud, a loud sigh escape from his parted lips as he pushes his glasses up a bit before turning to look at his leader wanting to know whether they should chase those two and punish Kise straight away for doing something foolish. Surprisingly Akashi tells him to let Kise do whatever he wants today since he has a feeling that something fun going to happen soon.
Maybe it wills even going to exceed his expectation.
"Kise?"
He can feel the blond around his tighten as if Kise is in trouble.
29 hours 52 minutes and 50 seconds.
"Are you alright?" He asks.
"What about you Kurokocchi?" Kise asks back. "Are you okay with them? I was worried that you might not like them, even though they can look creepy sometime but they are very nice people Kurokocchi. Especially Aominecchi since he looks scary depends on his mood." Kise laugh nervously making Kuroko confuse.
29 hours 53 minutes and 12seconds
"What's the real reason Kise?"
"I-I . . ."
"Are you worried I won't get along with them just the way I get along with you?"
Slowly the blond nod his head.
"There is no need to worry Kise, I have no intention to get along with them. The reason why I join you is because I have nowhere else to go to and you are the only one that I call as a friend." Kuroko pulls his hand away from Kise. "Please stop worrying Kise, I will not attack you or anything since you did save me."
"Kurokocchi, please open up to them too." Kise begs.
"Why do you seem so desperate suddenly?"
"Well . . . Akashicchi is actually . . ."
It was then they feel a strong blow coming their way.
Akashi shut his eyes tightly all of a sudden before reopen it and show his yellow eyes, his comrade stop in whatever they're doing as they look at their captain.
"I see enemies coming at Ryota and Tetsuya direction." He says with a curious tone. "I wonder what will happen next."
"We have to help them!" Aomine said and slam the table loud to show his determination to fight, there is a hint of anger hidden in his dark blue eyes.
"Worried about your dear Ryota?" Akashi asks silencing Aomine at once. "Why don't we just wait here and see what will happen next?"
He glance at Murasakibara before closing his eyes letting the color convert back to red. For a glimpse he sees his loyal comrade hand turn into metal when he tighten his fist letting out loud sound as if he just squeeze a can in his hand.
"Not again." Kise curses as he takes out his gun from his back pocket when a group of bandit starts surrounding them.
"Who are they?" Kuroko asks.
"They are people like to steals from other people or challenge those who are more powerful than them to show who is more superior in certain territories, most people call them criminal but Akashicchi prefer calling them pest that has nothing else to do in this world." Kise explain pressing his back against Kuroko ready to fire his gun.
30 hours 3 minutes and 29 seconds.
The bandit seems annoy of how Kise introduce them but at least they know that the blue hair boy doesn't seem to have a cue of who they are, he might be a normal civilian that accidentally involve so they quickly target him as a weakling. It is an unwritten rule in underground world that weakling has to be killed first before they become an obstacle in the nearby future.
"Kise Ryota, we all know you are useless when your comrade isn't here." One of them laughs.
"Indeed they're not but that doesn't mean I will give in easily to you guys."
As fast as lightning Kise push Kuroko back due to reflex when one of them shoot at him almost hurting his pretty face. When the bullet is spinning in the air, inches away from his forehead, he quickly makes Kuroko fall on the ground and uses the former assassin back as a cushion dodging the upcoming attack.
When that bullet misses him the other bandit start attacking him and most are targeting Kuroko.
"Kurokocchi!"
Kuroko quickly get back up pushing Kise along as he did that not bother to help when Kise is getting off-balance and almost fall down.
"Does friend love to push people?" Kuroko asks getting in his fighting pose.
"If it is to protect precious friend then yes." He answer quickly and start to pull the handgun trigger toward the bandit, his face quickly turn serious when he starts shooting remind Kuroko of Midorima when he get serious if he didn't get his lucky item.
'Kise . . . he is . . ."
His thought got disturb when someone hit him on his head with the wooden sword, it is good thing he is born hard-headed or he would have fallen unconscious at that moment. How could he let his guard down?
"Annoying." He said out loud making the other shiver.
"Kurokocchi?" Kise sweat drop to see the murderous glare Kuroko is giving.
One of the brave bandit take this chance to attack Kuroko, Kise quickly shoot the man before he can swing his knife to slice Kuroko throat. Never in his life would he let anyone die especially if it is about to happen in front of him.
Kuroko can feel the bandit blood is at the small part of his clothes, he didn't expect Kise to save him by killing someone else. Maybe it is because of Kise personality that he can't imagine him taking someone else life.
Kise . . .
Doesn't look like someone who should involve in something like this.
"The world is cruel." Kuroko whispers as he raises his right hand. "So cruel . . ."
It was then suddenly those bandit nearby start to scream in pain scaring the others, blood is cough out from their mouth confusing them all but once they see the blade that stab at their body, all of them finally realize they are facing something they shouldn't have met. This day shall be the day they meet pain.
"It changes." Akashi said pressing his right hand covering his eye.
"Are you alright Akachin?"
"He did it again Atsushi."
"Who?"
"Tetsuya, he just changes the future once more."
Kuroko transform his hand into a sword and start to run killing all of those enemies before him easily, he wonder why he suddenly feels angry toward them. His previous master has said before that emotions are useless since they can become his greatness weakness so that is why he tries to abandon it long ago. After meeting this blond his emotion can't be control anymore, one by one starts to come out and show to the world.
"He is a monster."
"RUN!"
"KILL THAT DEMON!"
For the first time in his life he is afraid of something.
He is afraid of himself.
"Kurokocchi!"
He bit his lips seeing one of them manage to capture Kise, he is pointing his gun with his shaking hand as he point it at Kise head looking angry that his comrade get kill easily. Fearing his own life gets taken as well so he uses the blond as a hostage so he can get away from this mess. Hopefully.
"Let him go." Kuroko warns.
"N-no." The bandit stutters.
Kise looks at Kuroko eyes and can tell the pain of the former assassin is having, the blond starts to smile like he always do.
"Don't worry about me Kurokocchi."
"Shut up!" The bandit screams.
"Thank you for worrying about me but I can take care of myself, I wouldn't have been in Akashicchi group if I'm just a weakling."
It was then Kise hand transform into a gun.
"Also . . . in this world I have to kill before I get killed."
Then automatically the trigger pull itself and the bullet pass through the bandit, passing its brain before coming out from the back of his head making a big mess as the blood follow the bullet direction and come out from the newly made hole. Due to the speed of the bullet it looks like the guy face just got exploded but they know better.
It was then Kuroko realization hit him.
He has stop counting.
"Kise, isn't that?"
"Your ability." Kise smirks and give his victory peace.
They never notice the man behind the attack has watched the battle until the end, seeing he has caught an interesting person he quickly left before he got spot by any of them.
Name: Kise Ryota. (Name given by Akashi)
Former name: Hana (given by his deceased father based on the flowers that grow surrounding his house.)
Home: At some part of the forest.
History: After his father die, he accidentally meet Akashi when he is trying to find food and almost got attack by a wild animal but then Aomine saves him. Later learn about his ability when Akashi mention him about it but haven't know what it is until that day of his first battle. Respect Akashi picturing him as his own father and develop a special relationship with Aomine.
Ability: Copy others ability.
"You're back." Midorima says coldly when Kise and Kuroko enter their hotel room.
"You guys need a bath." Aomine says seeing the blood on their clothes with disgust before walking out from that room.
"You take a bath first Kurokocchi."
"Okay."
When Kuroko walks away Kise sit down beside Akashi looking at him with a nervous look, the smile he always put on his face is gone, it happens all the time when he is worried or freaking out like hell when Akashi will gives his final decision.
"Is Kurokocchi a threat?" He asks.
Akashi turns to look at Kise.
"No, so it is alright to keep him alive 'if' he didn't get himself in trouble."
Once he receive the good news from Akashi the blond jump in joy before shouting that he will join Kuroko in the bath.
"You say 'if'." Midorima repeat staring at his leader back. "Just give me the order and I will kill him right away."
"Don't." Akashi warns him. "There is something about Tetsuya that I have to research first especially the part when he keeps changing the future that I have seen."
"Are you talking about the part about the future when you saw that Kise supposed to die changes?"
Kuroko feel the warm water touches his skin and then look up a bit to see his . . . friend joining him and start talking about some stuff he has no interest about.
"You seriously don't suit in this cruel world Kise kun."
Kise stop talking about those stuff he made up, for a glimpse he sees Kise eyes soften reminding him the eyes of an innocent child.
"Indeed it is cruel but the world is also very beautiful Kurokocchi. You just need to open your eyes wider to see its beauty."
