The morning sunlight filtered through the classroom windows, casting a warm glow on the desks and students. Kise, a cheerful blond girl, eagerly awaited the arrival of a certain purple-haired classmate, Murasakibara, before the start of their classes.

As Murasakibara lazily slumped back in his chair behind Kise, she beamed at him and greeted him, "Good morning, Murasakibaracchi."

However, her cheerful greeting was met with silence. Murasakibara remained unresponsive, seemingly lost in his own world

No response ...

"Nee ! nee ! Murasakibaracchi look what I got you ?"She held up a box of sweets, her eyes sparkling with delight.

with delight as he took in the sight of the box of sweets that Kise had brought for him.

"Is that ? "

Murasakibara's eyes widened as he took in the sight of the beautiful sweets before him. He wiped the drool off his face and gladly accepted the treats. "Is that...?" he trailed off in amazement.

"Yup I did an Add to promote their sweets so they gave me a box as a thank you ."

"Thank you Kise-chin ." He wiped the drool off of his face and gladly accepted the sweet treats .

"I still have plenty at home." The blond winked at the glutton purple haired boy .

"I could give you more...if ..."words trailed off, hinting at an unspoken condition .

" you will let me join you all in lunch table today ."

"You usually have lunch with as ."he stated, seeking clarification.

Kise nodded eagerly. "Yes, usually Momoiicchi invites me to join you guys, but today she mentioned having lunch with some of her classmates. That means I don't have an excuse to hang out with you today ."

Murasakibara shrugged nonchalantly

"I don't think anyone will mind anyway."

Kise grinned "Just if Midormacchi complained about me joining like always tell him that you are the one who invited me ."

Murasakibara noded between bites .

"Yaaaaay ."Kise exclaimed, her enthusiasm evident as she almost jumped up in joy.

"Kise-chin is manipulative ."

"You don't mind do you ?"

The purples haired shrugged

Kise laughed , she really liked Murasakibara aloofness , it was unusual yet so refreshing having a friend like that , all she needs to do is keep him well fed .

She tried to get away but no avail

"You bitch listen when I am talking to you !" He gripped her arm and shoved her violently to look at them

"Let go of me !"

"Ryouko !"

"What do you think you're doing ?"

"Well ! well ! it's that the bastard Haizaki " Koji smirked .

Tomoe was a timid girl, often blending into the background despite being in her second year with the basketball girls' club , she didn't have much of presence except on the court , where she shined with her teammates.

Her heart raced with fear and concern for Kise and Haizaki, the bad attention of the group was obvious .

Without wasting a moment, she sprinted towards Nanami, her captain also , one of her closest friends on the team.

" Tomoe what are doing here ? "

Nanami asked, surprised by Tomoe's sudden appearance and her breathless state.

" Ki-Ki Kise-chan is in trouble. "

Tomoe managed to say between puffs of air, desperately trying to catch her breath. The worry and urgency in her voice were palpable.

Nanami's eyes widened with alarm as she processed Tomoe's words.

" Tell me what happened !What did you see ?"

Tomoe took a deep breath, trying to calm herself before recounting the events she had witnessed.

Nanami quickly made her way to the locker room of the basketball guy's team and where her childhood friend Nijimura Shuzo the team's captain was .

" Shuzo !"

Without hesitating, Nanami smacked the door of the locker room .

The sudden intrusion caught the attention of the guys inside, and they turned their heads to see Nanami standing there,

"Nanami don't you have any shame ." Nijimura blushed from embarrassment while he hurriedly put his shirt.

"There is something urgent ...also , It's not like I didn't see anything before anyway." The girl retorted, dismissing the comment with a wave of her hand. Her focus was on a far more pressing matter.

"Shut up you .. that was when we were children ."

"More importantly..."continued, her tone growing serious "Your Kyouhai and my Kyouhai are in trouble "

"Which Kyouhai?"

"That silver haired snake"

"It's Haizaki and he is always in trouble ."Midorima chimed in, a touch of nonchalance in his voice ."

"It's different ."

"What? What happened to them?"

"Those bastards ."Aomine Cluched his teeth

"We need to inform the police." Midorima added adjusting his glasses

"But then it might be late ." Haru argued

The other teammates nodded in agreement .

Akashi who was listening the whole time finally spoke .

"We need to act swiftly and strategically," he said, his voice commanding attention.

"Informing the police is a necessary step, but it may take time for them to arrive. We should gather more information and devise a plan to rescue Kise and Haizaki ourselves."

"We'll split up," Akashi continued.

"Kamiya-san , contact the authorities and provide them with the details of the situation. "Hary nodded.

"Nobara-san ! gather any additional information you can about their whereabouts and captors. "

Meanwhile, in the abandoned house,

"Ryouko ...I am sorry .".

Haizaki and Kise were both chained, trapped in an abandoned house ,

With four guys she didn't even know .

"I am sorry, I shouldn't have touched you by surprise back then , Damn I shouldn't have touched you without your permission ."

The girl felt a lump forming in her throat "Just don't talk to me anymore ."

she finally spoke, her voice tinged with a mix of pain and resignation.

The silver haired nodded his head feeling guilty .The room fell into an uneasy silence

"What do you think they will do to us ?"

Ryouko's voice quivered as she posed the question, her eyes filled with fear and uncertainty. She couldn't help but wonder what would happen.

"I don't care what they will do to me as long as they won't hurt you ." Haizaki paused .

"I have a plan," Haizaki continued, his voice hushed. "There is a small window here. I can't escape, but I assume you can fit through it."

Ryouko's eyes widened in surprise. The thought of escape had crossed her mind, but she didn't know how , She nodded .

"I have a small scissors in my pocket.."

Haizaki added ." Try to get it , It will help us cut the rope."

"What are you doing with a sharp object in school ?"Kise asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey ! I did nothing with it okay ."

Haizaki averted his gaze, a hint of embarrassment coloring his cheeks

"More importantly , I will untie you so you could make a run for it through the window. They won't be able to catch you."

Kise, still skeptical, asked, "And what about you? What will you do?"

Haizaki's expression hardened as he met Kise's gaze. "I'll create a diversion. Don't worry about me, just focus on getting out of here ."

Kise hesitated for a moment, torn between her own safety and concern for Haizaki. With a heavy heart, Kise nodded in the end . which made the grey haired boy smile .

"Alright!"

She held her breath as she cut the male's rope then Haizaki skillfully freed her from the restraints, his hands moving swiftly and quietly. Once she was untied, she took a deep breath, preparing herself for the imminent escape.

" Enough chit chat you two ." Koiji and his guys entered .

"Bastards ! What do you want ?"Haizaki who acted as if they are still tied snapped , snapped .

" For you to fall down ."

"Maybe it's you who should fall down " with swift mouvements He landed a punch on Koiji.

"Damn you Haizaki ...Guuuuuuys !"

Haizaki's punch caught Koji off guard, causing him to stagger back, clutching his face in pain. The sudden turn of events gave Haizaki a momentary advantage, but he knew it wouldn't last long. The other boys quickly regrouped, their anger fueling

The situation escalated quickly as the three boys surrounded ."Ryouko now ."Haizaki called out, his voice filled with urgency.

"Damn ."

She had to get out of here. Get out of here fast

In the midst of the chaos, Ryouko's heart raced with fear and desperation. She looked around, desperately searching for someone who could help her and put an end to this nightmare. Tears welled up in her eyes as she called out for assistance, her voice trembling with both fear and hope.

'someone please anyone .'

As Kuroko and his teammates Aomine and Murasakibara searched diligently for any sign of their missing teammate and the blond model , a growing sense of unease settled within Kuroko's heart. Call it strong Intuition, a trait he relied on most of the time,

Kuroko's eyes widened as he spotted a disheveled blond figure running, stirring a mixture of worry and relief within him.

" Kise-san."

"Kurokocchi. "

"Haizaki is in trouble" Ryouko managed to say between sobs, her voice choked with fear. "Please, we need help!"

"Kise are you alright?" Aomine run towards her .

"Aominecchi ! Murasakibaracchi ! It's Haizaki he is fighting them alone. "

With Ryouko guiding them, they put an end to it quickly .As the commotion settled, the sound of approaching sirens grew louder. The police, responding

Unfortunately, things weren't good for Haizaki who was severely beaten . He was taken to the hospital , and the others stayed until their parents got them .

"Is someone gonna pick you up ?"the officer asked concern evident in his voice."Your mother , your father ?"

"I don't have a father !".Haizaki's response was filled with a bitterness.

"And my mother works pretty late .*

"I apologize ."

The blond heart ached "I think I should go now ."

"S—Stay…" Shougo gulped, gaze shifting away from her.

Ryouko's heart sank at Haizaki's words , As much as she wanted to stay here she can't .

"I m sorry ...I can't , not now ."

disappointment was evident in his face , but the blond hoped he could understand .

"My father is going to pick me up ."

"Please take care I will come visit , I promise "She Added quickly.

Kise inhaled a deep breath before leaving the grey haired room .

"Kise-san is a good person !"

The blonde was surprised for the Kuroko sudden presence beside her . But now she was kind used to him showing from nowhere .

"what if I told you that that my kindness is fake ...that I wanted to run and leave Haizaki with those guys ."

She wasn't a kind soul like people think she is . And that's something she made peace with .

Kuroko shook his head gently, his eyes unwavering " Then I say it's a lie Kise-san , then why would you ask for us to help Haizaki-kun then , why did you promise to visit him ?"

The blond looked at kuroko smiling face , she lent in his shoulder ."I am thankful to you ."

As they all left, their footsteps fading away one by one, leaving only Nijimura behind with Haizaki.

The tense atmosphere in the room began to dissipate, but Haizaki couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. 'why is Nijimura still here anyway ? ' is he gonna be a pain in the ass and scold him ? scream at him ?' the grey haired basketball player wasn't really in mood for that .

"Your scolding can wait Nijimura ."

"I am not here to scold you." The black haired captain responded, his voice softer than usual ,carrying a gentleness that Haizaki wasn't accustomed to. The words "I am not here to scold you" hung in the air, leaving Haizaki with a raised eyebrow .

"You did good ."

The words echoed in the room, shattering the fragile silence that had settled between them. Haizaki blinked in surprise, his eyes widening as he processed Nijimura's unexpected praise.

"I am proud of you " it was so honest that startled him

from someone like Haizaki . The weight of those words sank in slowly, making his heart flutter with an unfamiliar warmth .

The grey haired adverted his eyes from his captain , Haizaki snaps out of his stupor in a pained voice. The walls he had built around himself were starting to crumble and it was both painful and refreshing at the same time .

"That's scary ...The thought of someone like you being proud of me... it's unsettling."Haizaki added, his voice barely above a whisper.

Nijimura chuckled at that .
