Kagami blinked his eyes open to a banging on the side of his head and a pain in his shoulders and arms. He tried moving his arms to wipe the sweat off his face that he could feel had gathered there, only to find out he couldn't move his arms.
This startled him, and his eyes quickly flew open to look up. The first thing he saw were his hands in chains, with other chains holding them against a wall.
What the…
What happened to him?
He looked around, luckily he could still turn his head, although now he noticed his neck was a little sore as well. Probably from having it hanging down on his chest before he woke up.
It seemed they were in a basement of some sort, cinder block lining the walls covered in layers of chipping paint. He couldn't see any windows, so he didn't know what time of day it was. Their only source of light was a small flickering lightbulb overhead.
He looked around the small room, besides the thin mattress, well pad, there wasn't any furniture. But Kagami felt his heart sink in his chest when he saw that, across the room, Kuroko was sitting leant against the wall unconscious, his arms in chains above his head just like Kagami.
At least Kagami couldn't see any visible injuries on him, other than what looked like bruises forming around his wrists, similar to the kind forming on Kagami's own.
"Kuroko… hey Kuroko, wake up," Kagami called out to him. It had no reaction. Kagami stretched one of his legs out to nudge Kuroko in the leg, it still had no reaction. He let out a long breath, letting his head rest back on the hard wall as he looked back up at his bound wrists.
What was he supposed to do now?
Think of a way out of here, that was what he was supposed to do.
He looked back up at his wrists, examining the metal shackles locked around them. The metal continued to bite into Kagami's wrist. In the dim light of the room they were stuck in, he could see a trail of blood forming drops leading to rivulets running down his arm, coming from his shackled wrist.
It hurt.
He tried to rotate his wrist and stretch his arms, just to get a little blood flow to them and stop the tightness he could feel forming, but could only wince as the metal cuffs bit into a new place on his arms. They also didn't provide much slack to move his arms around where they were.
"Kagami," he heard the small voice of Kuroko speak up out of nowhere. He quickly turned his head in the other's direction.
"Ah! You're finally awake," Kagami greeted as he watched the man slowly wake up and take in their surroundings.
"Where are we?" Kuroko asked.
"Hell if I know," Kagami sighed.
"What happened?" Kuroko asked groggily.
Kagami racked his brain, trying to remember what happened. The last thing he could recall happening before he woke up here was them finishing up lunch and starting to head off to their next job.
He wondered if they had called into Hyuga yet to give him their next update. If they hadn't the man was sure to know that something had happened to them by now. That should be good for them. There was no way Hyuga or Riko would sit by while they were missing, or held captive.
Kuroko tried to move, look around, only to find himself being held back. The teal-haired teen looked up, to find that he too had his wrists shackled in chains and his arms being held above his head.
"Don't try and get out for now," Kagami told Kuroko quietly. "If they're anything like mine they locked them too tight."
"You're right," Kuroko said as he looked at the shackles on his arms. "They are pretty tight."
They lapsed into a couple moments of silence. "You know, this is the first time I've been captured," Kuroko said quietly after a while.
"Yeah?" Kagami hummed. "Me too."
"What about that one mission last year, that you went on with Aomine?" Kuroko asked.
Kagami huffed, indignantly. "We weren't captured then. Maybe surrounded… almost captured, but we weren't actually caught or anything. We were able to get out of there just fine."
Kuroko was silent for a couple seconds then. "We are going to be able to get out of this, right?" he asked.
"Of course we will," Kagami said. "You know what Hyuga and Riko are like when someone goes missing. They won't stop until they find us."
"Right," Kuroko nodded. "You're right, of course they won't."
Kagami doesn't no how long they sit there, down in a dingy and dark basement with only one lightbulb to light the room, with their arms painfully shackled above them, but then finally, they hear a couple bangs ring out from the building above them, followed by three loud piercing sounds.
"Gunshots," Kuroko said as his head jerked up when he heard the noises. "Do you think?"
Then they hear the sounds of voices, yelling and shouting voices on the other side of the one of the walls of the small room they were in.
"That's Hyuga," Kagami said, smiling.
