Chapter 6 : (n)Everyday Life
Kuroko woke up from his sleep. He take a peek from the window. It's still dark. He he's going to sleep again when he heard the telephone on the first floor rang. He sighed and quickly go to the first floor, and then run to the living room. He reached out the phone and put it on his ear.
"Hello? This is Kuroko family."
Silence.
Nothing come out from the phone call. Just a silence. Kuroko feel irritated and he put the phone on its holder. As he walked from the living room to his bed room, the telephone rang again. Kuroko, who just let a small growl, quickly picked the phone and put it on his ear again.
"Hello? Who is this?"
Silence.
For the second time, there's no sound coming from the call. Kuroko is really angry because of this prank call. Yes, really. He tried to calm down and going to his bedroom again. As he reached the stairs, the telephone rang, for the third time. Kuroko's face doesn't show any emotion, but his body and attitude clearly shows that he is angry. With hard steps like stomping something, he go in front of the phone, grab it hardly that it almost make it break, and let a little shout with a cold and hard tone.
"Hel-"
It's his turn now to fall in silence.
Did he just heard a scream?
He tried to put the phone on his ear again and listen carefully. Screams of women and men could be heard. Gunshots, clinging irons, cries, painful screams can be heard. And in the far end from the sound, an evil laugh could be heard.
Kuroko trembled hearing the sounds. What is that, exactly?
"He..hello?", Kuroko said, his voice is a bit trembling.
No answer. There are just some voices like before, shouts, cries, voices begging for help, and other.
Kuroko wanted to disconnect the call, but his hand feel stiff. He is still trembling and afraid, but he just couldn't put the phone down.
"..stop.. I beg you.."
Kuroko heard a small and weak voice. 'Her voice is not really far from the phone.. Can I communicate with her?', he thought. He tried to communicate with the woman.
"He..Hello? Is somebody there?"
The woman doesn't answer. She continues to cry and beg for forgiveness to someone.
"Please! I beg you, stop this!"
The woman's voice raised. She continues to cry, but it seems that the person she beg before isn't responding. Instead, Kuroko heard a sound of clanging iron very near from the phone. The woman's cries began to turn to screams. It seems like she began to run from the person, her voice has grown smaller. The sound of the stomping of foot with ground can be heard. The woman continues to run and scream, but this time her voice is bigger than before.
'Wait a second, did the one who call me is the person that's chasing her?!'
Kuroko, still shocked, fall and stomped on the floor, still holding the phone. The woman continues screaming and running, but it seems that person already catch her. That person quickly stomped her on the ground, making his phone fall. Kuroko can hear the sound of the falling phone, but it seems that it's not broken.
"NO! PLEASE! DON'T KILL ME!"
The woman continuously screaming while the sound of the clanging iron grown bigger than before.
"Your voice is disturbing.. Can you shut up?"
Kuroko heard the cold voice. It is really familiar to him, and it seems that he hears it everyday.
"NO! SOMEBODY HELP! SOMEBODY PLE-"
The sound of the iron stopped as soon as the woman's voice stopped. There's just an utter silence between all of them, including Kuroko. The voice of the stomping feet that's going towards Kuroko grown bigger. The mysterious person picked up the phone.
"Well then, Kuroko. Now, you know what will happen to you, right?"
Kuroko give no answer."Ah, no, it's not only you. It's your friends, as well."
The mysterious person laugh evilly, making Kuroko shivered. Now, he knows whose voice is that.
"Well then, see you later, Kuroko Tetsuya."
The phone hung up. Slowly, the phone slips from Kuroko's hands. His face clearly shows that he's unbelieving what has just he heard.
Slowly, he calmed and stood up, going to his bedroom. His face is now showing some glimpse of anger and anguish, and it's clearly shows that he is ready to kill anyone. He reached his drawer, picked up some of his 'deadly weapons', and put it in his bag. He put some in his pocket, too. After that, he sits on his chair, open up a book with a black-colored cover titled 'How to Kill Someone Easily', and read it. After some time, he put the book in his bag, go to his bed and fall in a deep sleep.
Kuroko wake up earlier than usual. He slowly go to the bathroom and prepare his uniform. He doesn't forget to take his weapons and put it I his pocket, too. Then, he choose to eat bread while watching the news.
"This morning, some dead bodies discovered in an alley."
Kuroko almost chocked the bread. 'What?'
"The dead bodies belonged to three men in their thirties and three girls in their teens. There is a dead body of a woman in his forties not far from the other bodies, too. There is a cell phone lying near the body of the woman, but unluckily it has been broken and burned to ash. It seems that the woman tried to call someone, but she already killed by the killer. The police is still searching of some signs of the killer around the-"
Kuroko quickly turned off the TV. 'It can't be him, right? Last night can't be true, right?', he seemed very confuse. But he quickly calm down and see the clock. 'Anyway, what time is it now?'
The time shows 07.15 now. 'Hm, 07.15, huh? What time do I should arrive at school..'
'Oh crap! Today I should arrive there at 07.20! There is the teacher's meeting today so the students must arrive earlier!'
Kuroko quickly wear his shoes and take his school bag. Then he quickly lock the door and run through the road. He run as fast as possible so he doesn't arrive too late.
Luckily enough for him, the gate hasn't closed yet, so he can still pass the school gate easily. He slip through the crowds of people that's late like him as well. He quickly climbed up the stairs and go to his classroom. The corridor is empty, so he can run on it. When he arrived in front of his classroom, he gulped and slowly open the door, only to see the students playing around.
Kuroko, who's confused and panting, watch the 'peaceful' scene. But, as soon as he realized that the teacher hasn't entered the classroom yet, he quickly walk to his seat and sit down, thanking to God that the teacher hasn't shown up yet.
Just a couple of seconds later, Kagami, who's running late too, showed up in front of the door. He quickly go to his seat and sit down like Kuroko did. The two of them gazed each other, like reading each other's mind. After some seconds, Kagami choose to speak.
"Oi, Kuroko, you-"
Kagami's voice interrupted with the sound of the door. The students stopped playing around, and they clean up the mess. It seems that the teacher has come.
"What is it, Kagami-kun?", Kuroko said, not wanting to let this 'chance' slip by to interrupt Kagami.
"No, nothing, forget it already.", he replied, not wanting to discuss the matter in class.
It is the lunch break. Kuroko and Kagami walks to the canteen that's really crowded to buy 'some' breads for Kagami. Kuroko told Kagami to meet later because Kuroko wants to do something first. Kagami nodded and he walked to the rooftop alone.
Kagami take a seat on the floor, at his favorite spot. He opens the plastic bag and started to eat the breads. After some minute, it is his 10- no, his 20th bread so far. And then, the rooftop door opened widely and a green-haired teen walked towards Kagami, and whatever the cause is, it successfully made Kagami chocked.
"HUH?! *cough* Wha..What are you doing here?!"
"Yesterday evening Akashi told me to watch for Kuroko here, even though I don't understand for what reason-nodayo.", Midorima said, holding a ballerina H*llo Kit*y statue on his right hand, probably his lucky item for today.
'Aah, I see.. It must be related to yesterday's message that I sent for Akashi..', Kagami thought. He recalled that he sent Akashi a message that explain yesterday's situation. At first, Akashi seems not understand, but He sighed, shrug Kise from his body and stand up.
"Well? Why must it be you though?"
"Hm? Am I not welcomed here? Well, whatever, it's because today is Shuutoku's birthday, so the students shouldn't go to school today, because there's just a party or something like that there.. And of course, I'm not interested in it, so I don't attend it. The rest of the basketball team do the same, too."
"Hee..", Kagami mumbled, now that he knows why Midorima must be the one who go to Seirin.
"Oh, and who gave you permission to enter this school, anyway?"
"The gatekeeper of this school, of course. I don't know why, but he just permit me to enter this school.", he answered. Then, he starts talk again.
"So? Where's Kuroko? Usually the two of you always together, right?", Midorima asked.
"I don't know. He said that he wanted to do something so he told me to go here first, but he took too much time."
By the time when Kagami said the phrase, the rooftop door suddenly opened and a certain teal haired boy walked to Kagami's and Midorima's direction holding two plastic bag in each of his hand.
"Kagami-kun, I'm sorry that I took a long time. As an apology, please accept these bread.", Kuroko said, giving the big plastic bag over to Kagami.
Kagami take the plastic bag from Kuroko's hand and looked inside.
"Wow, this is too many, Kuroko!", he said, amazed at the amount of the bread Kuroko bought. It is as many - even more than what he has bought before.
"Kuroko, I can't finish this, you know!"
"Hontou ni, Kagami-kun? I thought that this is easy for you to eat…", Kuroko said, still wearing his innocent face.
"Hmm? Midorima-kun, why are you here?", Kuroko said, staring to Midorima.
"Well, I'm just thinking to visit Seirin because it's Shuutoku's anniversary today, so I don't have classes. I just pass by Seirin and thinking to visit you. Just for that reason, okay?", Midorima said, fixing his glasses' position.
"Hee hee, Midorima-kun is a tsundere as always.", Kuroko said, chuckling a bit.
"What did you-"
"Anyway, Midorima, why don't you help me finish these breads rather than arguing with Kuroko?", Kagami said, giving the plastic bag to Midorima.
"Ah, I'm going to eat, too.", Kuroko said, taking out a melon bread and a packet of chocolate milk from his small plastic bag.
"Hm? Chocolate? It's rare for you to choose chocolate rather than vanilla, Kuroko. And it's not usual that you eat bread for lunch. What's gotten into you?", Kagami surprised when he saw the contents of the plastic bag.
"Well, I want to eat other flavor too, you know."
The three of them quietly eat their own foods. After some minutes of an awkward tension, Kuroko put his trashes in the small plastic bag and stood up.
"Hey, I've an idea. Let's throw our trash from this distance to that trash bin, and see who can reach the nearest from that trash bin. The two who lose will do what the one who win wants, okay?", Kuroko said, pointing his index finger to the only trash bin on the rooftop, 300 meters away from the area when they sit.
"Hmm, sure, why not?", Kagami, who has done eating, smirked and preparing to throw his trash.
"I'll pass. I think this is just a waste of my time.", Midorima said, continue eating the bread on his hands.
Kagami turned his head to Midorima's direction and have an idea. He giggled and pointing his finger towards Midorima slowly. "Hee? Are you afraid of my ability, Midorima?"
Midorima, who seemed angry, quickly finished his breads and crumpled the trashes into a big ball. "Kagami, don't you know that I'm an expert in this matter? Just be ready to treat me-nodayo. I'll make you regret that you ever said that."
The three of them take their position and ready throw the trashes. The first one to shoot is Kagami. He take a deep breath, moves backward ad throw the trash as hard as possible. Unfortunately, the trash hit the edge of the trash bin, so it doesn't go in.
"Damn it! I failed!", Kagami said, frustrated that there is a possibility that he might treat the other teens.
"See? You can't even shoot from this distance.", Midorima said arrogantly. He crumbled the trashes into a ball and takes a position to shoot like basketball three-pointer shooting. Then, he begins to shoot 'amazingly'.
The most unfortunate moment for Midorima comes. Suddenly, there is a big gust of wind comes and interrupted Midorima's shooting. The trash flew away with the wind, leaving him jaw-dropped and Kagami laughed.
"Ah..AHAHAHAHA! Ha..How unfortunate of you Midorima!", Kagami laughed. The green headed teen just stands there with a very pissed looking face. Kuroko just stands there and watch them with his usual stoic face.
"Don't worry, Midorima-kun. That also count as a shoot, so you don't have to shoot anymore.", Kuroko said, with an annoyingly stoic face. Midorima seems very annoyed and walked behind Kagami, and Kagami still laughed to him.
"Okay then, next is my turn, right?", Kuroko asked. He moved forward and prepared the trash in his left hand. Then, he throws it upwards and when it fall in front of his right hand, he hits it with his ignite pass kai. The trash right to the trash bin, and it go in.
Kagami and Midorima's jaw dropped. Kuroko walks in front of the other teens and pointed the trash bin. "It went in."
The three words just like an end to both the teens. They froze, imagining what Kuroko, the little devil wants them to do. Cosplaying S*il*r Mo*n in front of people? Kissing each other? Or maybe treat him billions of Maji Burger's Vanilla Milkshake?
"Okay, all I want you to do is.."
'Oh no!', the paled teens thought.
"..to wait."
"WHA- huh?"
Midorima and Kagami looked to each other, then looked to Kuroko. He seemed normal, like usual. But something's wrong with him.
"What do you mean by 'wait', Kuroko?", Midorima said, pushing his glasses.
"No, nothing in particular.", the light blue headed teen answered, turned away his face away from the two teens.
"Kuroko, would you mind explaining the matter so we can do it?", Kagami said, then he tapped Kuroko's shoulder with his right hand. But Kuroko quickly ward it.
"Just wait until I get his place in this world, okay? So we can be true friends.", Kuroko smiled. Then he walked away. Kagami and Midorima wanted to chase after him, but suddenly a gust of strong wind blocked their way. Midorima and Kagami can't see him, but they can hear his voice clearly.
"Till we meet again, Kagami-kun, Midorima-kun."
Then, the strong wind locked their vision. After some seconds, the strong wind stopped and both of them can open their eyes again, but Kuroko has already gone.
"Wha.. What was that just now?!", Kagami shout, surprised about what he had experienced just now.
"I.. don't know. Moreover, where's Kuroko?!", Midorima said, searching around for Kuroko.
"Umm, I'm right here."
The familiar voice shocked both Midorima and Kagami. They surprised and almost shout. It's just like Kuroko's misdirection has come back again. They looked at the source of the voice, and see Kuroko stands behind the door.
"What are you two doing here?", Kuroko asked both of them who just froze. Then he walked in front of them and wave his hand in front of their faces.
"YOU SHOCKED ME! WHY DID YOU SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED LIKE THAT JUST NOW?!", Kagami shout at Kuroko. It's so loud that he must cover his ears with his hands.
"What are you talking about, Kagami-kun? I don't do anything, and I didn't disappear or do something like that you know."
"Kuroko, don't joke around. We know that you're here with us just now, before you played your drama and showed up behind the door and acted like nothing happened.", Midorima said.
Kuroko's face shows some sign of confuse and talks again after a few seconds, "What are the two of you talking about, anyway? Aren't you just daydreaming? I didn't come here nor acted like I know nothing. The truth is I know nothing about what happened."
Kagami and Midorima showed some sign of surprise in both of their face. "Then, what are you doing in the rest of the lunch break time?", Kagami asked Kuroko.
"I was called by Kawada-sensei so I must go to the teacher's office to run some errand. Then, when I want to go here to meet Kagami-kun, the bell already rang, so I decided to apologize Kagami-kun in the class, but I don't meet you there. I waited for some minutes but you still don't show up, so asked Mitsuko-sensei's permission to search you. Then I search you everywhere in the school and heard loud noises in the rooftop, so I go here and found both of you. I don't even know why Midorima-kun is here though..", Kuroko said.
Then there's a silence between the three of them for some minutes.
"Well, let's talk about this matter later, okay? I think we don't have time for it..", Kuroko said, breaking the silence.
"Wait.. Kuroko.. You said that IT'S ALREADY CLASS TIME?!", Kagami shout at Kuroko, and he just nodded.
"WHAT THE HELL? WE NEED TO BE HURRY, QUICK!", Kagami saidm dragging Kuroko downstairs.
"Oh and Midorima-kun, see you later.", Kuroko said, waving to Midorima.
Midorima just watch both of them disappeared with confused face. Then, he thinks about the accident over and over again.
'Wait.. what's up with our meeting with Kuroko, then? Kuroko's face showed the truth, and it seems that he didn't lie.. Wait, we didn't hear the bell, too.. And what's up with the sudden gust of wind? And what is the meaning of Kuroko's last words?', he seemed to thinks really hard, Then, he picked up his cell phone from his jacket.
'I'll just tell Akashi all the things that happened today. Maybe he can figure out something.', the green headed teen walks downstairs while typing the text in his phone, leaving the unanswered questions in his head.
