Chapter 2 : Peaceful Day
-
- At the Basketball Court -
"KAGAMICCHI! DID SOMETHING HAPPEN TO KUROKOCCHI? WHY DOES HE LATE? IS THERE SOMETHING TERRIBLE? NEE, NEE, ANSWER ME, KAGAMICCHI!"
An annoying sound come from Kise's mouth, near Kagami's ear, and it made Kagami almost had a heart attack because of the sudden 'attack' from the blonde right after Kuroko end his call. He is already in a bad mood because Kuroko suddenly end their call, and moreover, Kise already whined RIGHT beside his ear?
"SHUT UP, KISE! HOW CAN I ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS IF YOU KEEP SHOUTING NEAR MY EAR! AND DON'T ADD -CCHI IN MY NAME!", the red head shouted angrily. He already had enough nerves from his shadow's actions to leave him there with some weirdos.
"Well then, Kagami. Did something happen to Kuroko? I bet he only overslept, right?", Midorima say calmly. He is holding a piyo-piyo shaped statue on his left hand, and he looks proud of it.
"Yeah, he overslept and said to wait for him here until he comes.."
"It's unusual for Tetsu to overslept. Did something happen?", a certain bluenette said. "The point is, we must wait for Tetsu here, right? How troublesome.."
"Nee, Mido-chin. What is it on your left hand? It looks so tasty..~", Murasakibara say to Midorima, pointing at the piyo-piyo statue.
"This is today's lucky item for cancers-nodayo.", Midorima said confidently. The green head adjust his glasses while looking at Murasakibara.
Kagami looks at them one by one. Aomine is lying on a bench, Kise is taking a photo of himself, Murasakibara is eatiing his snacks, Midorima is looking at one direction, and Akashi is nowhere to be seen. Kagami sighed because he just realized that he is trapped there with a bunch of weirdos.
*snip snip*
A sound of snipping scissors echoed in the court, making the GoMs + Kagami surprised and a bit startled. They are looking at the direction of the source of the sound. There, Akashi is standing, staring at Kagami while holding his scissors.
"Taiga.", the tiger shake after hearing his name is called by Akashi.
"Wha...What is it, Akashi?"
The heterochromatic captain stare at Kagami. His blood shot glare has successfully made not only Kagami, but the other GoMs shivered as well.
Akashi close both of his eyes and open it again. "Who are you calling weirdos, Taiga?"
Kagami shock because of what Akashi has just said. 'Is he a mind-reader?'
"No, what do you mean, Akashi? I never think of anything like that.", his voice is a bit trembling, because he has lied to Akashi.
Akashi stared at the other red head and smirks. "Well, maybe it's just my imagination, then.", Kagami feel somewhat saved from death because of Akashi's words.
"The point is, Tetsuya hasn't arrived yet. What should we do before he arrive here?"
"Well, maybe we can-", Kise's words are stopped because suddenly Kuroko appeared behind Kagami, making him startled. Kise, Kagami and Aomine shout, Murasakibara almost drop his snacks, Midorima's eyeglasses almost drop because he jumped, and Akashi just smiled looking at Kuroko.
"Tetsuya, why are you late today?"
"Gomenasai, Akashi-kun, minna-san. I overslept.", Kuroko said, bowing his body to his friends.
"Well, it's alright, Kuroko. Next time, don't be late again.", Midorima say, adjusting his glasses (again?).
"Well then, Kurokocchi, let's get started! Let's have a match, minna-san!", Kise say happily. The blonde is hugging Kuroko tightly.
"Kise..kun..can't..breathe..", Kuroko whined. Kise quickly release his hug from Kuroko.
"Gomenasai, Kurokocchi!"
Akashi just smirked at the funny scene in front of him. "Well then, how about the teams?"
All of them stop doing their own activities. They just realized that they haven't think about the teams yet.
"It's 4 on 3, right? Well, the team is easy enough. I will be in the same team as Tetsu.", Aomine grab Kuroko's shoulders. Kagami feel irritated seeing the annoying scene (for him) in front of him.
"I'll be in the same team as him, too!", Kagami shout, pulling Kuroko to his side. Aomine stare at Kagami's eyes directly, not wanting to lose from him.
"Then, I'm -"
"No, Ryouta, you will- no, you MUST be in my team with Atsushi and Shintarou."
"Eeeh? Why, Akashicchi? I want to be in the same team as Kurokocchi!", Kise whined, hugging one of Kuroko's hand. It makes him not comfortable.
"Because it is already enough for him to be in the same team as Kagami and Aomine. He wants to improve his basketball, right? So just let him be, Kise.", Midorima explain the reason with such a tsundere tone. Maybe he wanted to be in the same team as Kuroko too.
"Well... it can't be helped then..", Kise whined, almost crying. 'As expected from a crybaby, huh..', all of them except Akashi and Kise himself thought.
"Then, let's get this game started, Aka-chin?", Murasakibara put his snacks on one of the bench in the court. He looks ready to have a match.
"Let's get started as quick as possible.", Kagami is preparing for the tip-off, facing Murasakibara. Each of them looks ready to fight.
And the practice match begun.
In the evening, the practice match has just ended. They have been playing for some hours without resting, eating, drinking or something else, and that makes them very tired. Many of them are lying on the court. It seems that they can play basketball without knowing the time.
"Is..it..evening already? I thought.. it is still afternoon...", Aomine pant, taking his breath after playing for a long time. This is the first time for him to become this tired after a practice match. Well, it's against 4 members of the Generation of Miracles, though...
Akashi sit on a bench, looking at the score. 145-104 winning for his team. Of course, because his team's members are 4 members of Generation of Miracles. But, the opponent team, even one of the three players is just a 'normal' player, the fact that they can score as much as that has successfully made Akashi impressed.
"I.. think that I'm just.. too tired to continue the game...", Kise whined.
"You stupid! Who the hell wants to continue this game, anyway? Everyone is exhausted because of this match, you know!", Kagami shout angrily. It seems that he still has some energy in his body.
"Actually, I'd like to continue this match, but sadly, everyone exhausted, so it seems that we must stop this match."
Kuroko suddenly stand out, his face looks a bit sad. He looks at the basketball hoop and picked the basketball, go near the hoop, and try to shoot. Unfortunately, the basket didn't go in; it hit the edge of the hoop. "It looks like that I can't shoot any points, no matter how much I try. I'm thinking to-"
"NO! DON'T GIVE UP, KUROKOCCHI!", Kise suddenly hug Kuroko from behind, making him to drop the basketball to the ground.
"Wha..What do you mean, Kise-kun?"
"DON'T GIVE UP PLAYING BASKETBALL!"
Kuroko's eye widened. It has never crossed his mind that actually, either his current teammates and his former teammates are actually really care about his conditions. He smiled, "No, it's not like that, Kise-kun. I'm just thinking to change my style of shooting."
The rest of the GoM + Kagami just looking at Kuroko. They have the same thought in mind : 'How can Kuroko have such a stamina like that?'
Kuroko, noticing that his friends are looking at him, turns away and looks at each of them. They quickly release their eyes from Kuroko.
"Anyway, I just noticed that it's already evening. Is it already this late?", Kagami mumbled, looking at the sky.
"Maybe you're just too stupid to notice that it's already that late, Bakagami.", Aomine mumbled, deliberately a bit too loud so Kagami notice what he has said.
Aomine's phrase makes Kagami's anger go up. "You're the one who start this, Ahomine..."
"Tch, say that again, Bakaga-"
*snip snip*
The sound of a pair of scissors echoed in the basketball court once again. Kagami and Aomine surprised, when the rest of them exceot Akashi are praying for Kagami's and Aomine's soul.
"Daiki, Taiga.", Akashi glared at them, holding a pair of scissors with his right hand.
"I.. I'm sorry!", the two said the same phrase simultaneously while bowing to Akashi deeply.
Kise giggled at them and Kuroko smiled. For him, the peaceful times are very precious for him now, because he know that he doesn't have much time to enjoy every bit of his time in his life. He might be killed unless he kills his Impostor. He knows that his time is running short, so there is no time for him to play around like this.
But still..
He wants to live a normal life...
Not like a life like this, a very despair-filled life...
He knows at the time..
That he wants to go out...
.
'I want to go out from this life!'
'I want to break out from this hopeless life!'
'I want to live - continue living on!'
'I will.. kill him! Kill the Impostor and..'
.
and what?
.
Not noticing, his tears rolled down on his cheek. All of the GoMs and Kagami surprised when they see their dearest shadow cry, and quickly approach Kuroko.
"Ku..Kuroko? What happened?", Midorima ask him, worried that there might be something happened with Kuroko.
"Tetsuya, are you alright? Do you need some assistance?", Akashi ask him with a soft tone.
"Kuro-chin, are you hungry? Here, have some snacks.", Murasakibara give his snacks to Kuroko to cheer him.
"Kurokocchi! Don't cry! If you cry, I'll cry too!", Kise whine, hugging Kuroko. His face is still facing the ground.
"Tetsu? What's the matter? Did something happen?", Aomine tried to separate Kise from Kuroko while trying to calm Kuroko down.
"Hey, Kuroko, please calm down. Here, I brought a glass of vanilla shake from Maji Burger.", Kagami say when he 'release' his ultimate weapon, 'vanilla shake' that appeared out of nowhere. 'How the hell did you have that? You didn't even bring anything here!', the rest of them thought except Akashi and Kuroko.
Kuroko quickly snatch the vanilla shake from Kagami's hand and sip it. His face change from a sorrowful face to full-of-happiness face, and all of them except Akashi sweat-dropped.
"So, can you tell me what happened, Tetsuya? Why did you cry?", Akashi ask him with a soft tone, a bit afraid that he might be crying again.
"No, nothing. Nothing happened, Akashi-kun.", Kuroko answer slowly. Akashi still can't take that as an asnwer, but Kagami quickly change the topic of the conversation.
"We..Well, since already evening, why don't we have a dinner? It will be my treat! I'll treat all of you, I promise!", Kagami shout cheerfully to lighten up the situation. Akashi turn away from Kuroko and smirk at Kagami.
"There's no need to, Taiga. It will be my treat. Now, let's go.", Akashi walks toward the end of the court. Murasakibara and Midorima follow him without saying anything.
"Anyway, Akashi, where will we go eat?", Aomine ask, dragging Kise so he doesn't approach Kuroko and hug him like an idiot.
Akashi smirk at him. Lately, after Seirin has beaten Rakuzan, Akashi is seen more smiling (or smirking?) than before. "We will go to a restaurant near here. It's alright, the owner is one of my father's acquaintance, and I've met him several times, so we can obviously get an empty table."
Aomine, Kise and Kagami recalled. The only restaurant near there is..
"Akashicchi.. Do you mean.. that we will eat at that 5-star restaurant?!"
Akashi only let out a smirk as an answer. "Let's go."
Kise, Kagami and Aomine quickly follow him, but Kuroko doesn't. He stared at the big tree near the court. A few seconds ago, he caught a glimpse of a silhouette behind the tree, but he doesn't feel any living presence behind it anymore.
"Kuroko? What's wrong?", Kagami ask him when he walks behind him.
"No, nothing, Kagami-kun. It's just like... I think someone has watched us today..."
"Someone? How can you feel his presence?"
Kuroko smiled. He has improved all of his traits to face a basketball match, even his presence-sensing ability. But, he decides to hide it from his friends from now. "You can say that it's just only a feeling, Kagami-kun."
Then all of them walked towards Akashi's direction, not knowing that a fearsome and dangerous monster has been watching them all the time...
His friends are really protective of him.
Why does 'he' noticed my presence?
It seems like he has improved his 'sensing' ability.
.
A strange figure behind a big tree write something on a small book. Then, he properly put it on his pocket. He has a small body, a light-blue hair, and an intriguing red eyes. But, his eyes changed to light-blue as well, the same color as his hair.
The figure smirks. "This is going to be interesting, don't you think so?"
