Hello minna~ It sure have been so long since last time I publish again.

Sorry for leaving the story in cliffhanger but yeah, I dont have time to write a story since I have to go all out to be accepted into my dreamed college!

Well, let's get the story begin!

Sorry for the bad grammar!

[Rakuzan's lodge, Kuroko's room]

It was past midnight, but Kuroko still can't close his eyes. His are not focus and he feel like resist something.

"Tetsuya... I know you can hear me,"

Kuroko's eyes twitched, "What do you need, Fumihiko-jii-san?"

"Oh, judge by your tone, it's look like you give quite fight there..." Fumihiko laughed a little, "But don't sweat yourself, sooner or later you'll have no strengh to resist, it so easy manipulate you when you sleep... Though I said this, it's still useless even if you're asleep or not."

"Do not worry, Fumihiko-jii-san, I will glady become your pawn if this for him." Kuroko said.

"Presistent aren't we? Do as you wish for now, Tetsuya, I believe in you. But you've to remember, this is for him."

"Yes," Kuroko opened his eyes and revealed a lifeless eyes, "For Onii-chan's sake... I'll do everything."

Fumihiko laughed, "Good boy, Tetsuya."

[Akashi's room]

Akashi can't stop tapping his fingers into his table as his head rested on it, he felt something strange about his Tetsuya, he even overheard the bluenette conversation with this 'Fumihiko' person.

"Just what are you hiding from me?" he murmured.

Akashi stood up and staring outside the window, where the beautiful night sky is.

"You are Tetsuya but you aren't at the same time,"Akashi closed his eyes for a while, "Are... Aren't... split personality didn't seem like it, it's nearly like he's—"

The redhead eyes widened, "—Controlled? Don't tell me..."

Akashi quickly grab his phone, "Tanaka, it's me, give me all information you can get about a person named Kuroko Fumihiko... Call me once you have it."

He threw his phone back to his bed and walked out from his room, "Let's see what are you trying to do with my Tetsuya."

-KUROBASU IS NOT MINE-

Chapter 12

Tatsuhi walked in circle for hour or more than that since the grass turned into a dirt and form a circle. His face shown guilt and sadness, he was at loss.

"Tetsuya-chan... Rakuzan... Coach..." that's what he keep murmuring in past five minutes.

"Why did I lost their sight?!" he shouted at himself, "Why can't I—"

Unknown to him, Izuki keep an eye on him from the bush behind Tatsuhi, he was worried for his idol to dashed out from the onsen so suddenly.

"Tatsuhi-san, what are you doing this late?" he murmured to himself.

'Bang!'

"Huh?" Izuki's eyes snapped open when he heard the sound.

In front of him, Tatsuhi banged his head onto the nearest tree twice before started to walk in circle again and banged his head again for how many time it was.

Izuki quickly jump out from the bush, "Woah! Stop it, Tatsuhi-san! You'll ruin your handsome face!" he shouted and get in front of Tatsuhi before he crashed his head into the tree.

But the move surprised Tatsuhi and accidently banged his head to Izuki's, make the two fell down at the same time.

"Ow..." Tatsuhi groaned as he rubbed his head, "What are you doing, Izuki-chan? This is past midnight, y'know?" he asked without noticing their position.

If you want to know, their position are like this, Tatsuhi was on top of Izuki with both of his hands between the younger head, while Izuki's hands grip the older man shirt close to him.

When he got no response, Tatsuhi turn his head to Izuki just to find how embarrassing their situation is. Quickly, Tatsuhi stood up and started to bow in apologize.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Izuki sweat-dropped at his act, "I-It's okay, Tatsuhi-san, more importanly what was that?"

"That what?"

"Banging yourself, I feel sorry for the tree."

"Huh?! My position is lower than tree?!" Tatsuhi suddenly snapped for unknown reason, "Is that a joke?! It's not funny no matter how you look at it! You should worry about me! I need comfort here, y'know! Don't just popped out from nowhere just to insult me! You hear what I said?!"

Izuki surprised by the sudden outburst but left it alone as he stood up, "Did something happen this day, Tatsuhi-san? You look depressed."

"Nothing happened, okay?! Just leave me alone, I don't want to talk to someone right now." Tatsuhi shouted a bit as he brushed his hair in anger.

"Tatsuhi-san, if you would you can talk to me, maybe I can—" Tatsuhi quickly cut him.

"No, you can't. Now get lost." Tatsuhi said coldly.

"Tatsuhi-san..." Izuki's hand trying to reach his idol hair before it slapped aside.

"Did my words not clear enough for you?" Tatsuhi asked, "Please, I have my limit and I don't know what I will do to you."

Izuki stay silent, but walk away from Tatsuhi who still burried his face into his hands.

"Great... Now I make the only person who cared about me go away." he murmured, "Shit, I should know how to control my anger."

A tear slipped out from his eyes, "Tetsuya-chan—Hyaa!" he yelped when he feel something cold touching his neck.

Tatsuhi turned around and saw Izuki smiled at him with sport drinks in his hands.

"Here you go, Tatsuhi-san, you need to cool down." Izuki said as he sat beside Tatsuhi, "Your face frowned a lot, so I thought you need some refreshment."

"Izuki-chan..." Tatsuhi's face lifted up as a tint of pink appeared on his cheeks, "W-Why do you come back? I told you to go away."

"Yes, but did I said 'Yes, I will'?" Izuki said as he drank his sport drink, "Tatsuhi-san look really in trouble so I thought to help you out. Well, I know it's not my place to—"

Tatsuhi can't hold up anymore, the person in front of him truly care about him, no matter how he treat him. So he wrapped one of his hand around the younger waist and the other behind his head to make Izuki closer to him.

Izuki's eyes widened slighty but hug the older man back as he brushed Tatsuhi's hair slowly in comfort when he felt warm tears slipped down to his neck.

"There, There... If you like you can talk to me,"

"I-Izuki-chan, I-I..." Tatsuhi stuttered, he can't get the right words to come out.

"Slow down, Tatsuhi-san, calm yourself then talk to me." Izuki softly said.

When Tatsuhi finally calm down, he told Izuki his story. A story where he nearly lost his life, how much money he spent for his recovery and how long he wait just to meet his beloved younger brother. And the day he know where his younger brother is, he blow the chance away just because he lost the sight of his team mate.

"I-I'm so—Why can't I..." and he cried again.

Izuki keep stroking his idol hair until the sobbing sound stopped, he felt the strong arms were no longer tight around his waist.

"Tatsuhi-san?"

And a soft snore come out from Tatsuhi as reply.

"You're asleep?! W-Wait Tatsuhi-san, I can't bring you back to the lodge! You're too heavy!"

Meanwhile, Kagami keep train his jump for the past two hours. He just can't sleep whenever he think about the match he will have with his shadow as the enemy.

"Tch!"

He jumped again just to felt the pain where Akashi stabbed him that day as he fell hard to the ground.

"Ugh... Damn, it hurts!" he groaned, "But I can't stop here, I just can't..."

"I will become your shadow, Kagami-kun, that's why—"

Kagami clenched his fist when he remembered those words, "That's why I can't give up," his lips formed a smile, "I know, thanks Kuroko. Just wait for me..."

[Somewhere in Osaka]

A laugh enchoed through the room, followed by the shoot of gun and blood splashed everywhere.

In the room standing Fumihiko with gun in his hand, a creepy smile was on his face as he face down the man that he just shoot.

"John Sween, Alumni of basket club from the Outlace Academy, 26 years old, moving to japan due to his parents job..." he murmured, "One of those bastards who kill my nephew..."

Fumihiko's smile darkened, "One down, four more to go." he laughed again.

The target name list :

1. John Sween

2. Simon Traces

3. David Verrald

4. Rally Hans

5. George Dorge

He stared at the monitor in front of him, "Now, which one should I kill next?"

RnR Please?

Okay that's it! Thanks for reading!
