Hey everyone, it's been so long huh? Please forgive me and my shitty promises
But as you all know, fanfic. Net has been blocked in my country due to new censorship laws.
I could always use VPN to bypass the censorship but it's a hassle plus Malaysia's internet speed is bloody slow to begin with.
So, I've moved to Archive of Our Own under the name AlinaAK47 where I'll soon post fics from other fandoms that I'm currently into.
Don't get me wrong, Kuroko no Basket was great and the fandom was amazing. But now that it's ended, I've lost interest in it. Tetsuya is still my baby uke but I'm retiring from writing KnB. I sincerely apologise to all my readers who really wanted to read the continuation but I've lost inspiration and interest in it. Anyone interested in adopting the unfinished stories, you can dm or comment to tell me. You guys can change the storyline to your liking but I'll still tell how I wanted to finish them:
All eyes on me: In the end of Chapter 4, Madara, a nekomata yokai makes his appearance. He tries to coax the spirit of the dead cat from Kuroko but it appears the spirit is fully attached to Kuroko. The yokai suggests to the priest to give Kuroko an amulet to nullify the cat's powers so that the boy can live his life normally. He'll still have the powers but the physical assets will be 'hibernated' whenever he wears the amulet.
All seems normal afterwards but a group of yokai hunters hunting for rare powers are going after Kuroko after one of them saw the boy take the amulet off, revealing his cat assets. Everyone goes back to the priest for help
Darkness in our midst: In the middle of sending Kuroko back home, he thanked his teacher for this and Maurine says it's not a problem. Kuroko still feels anxious around the man but gradually relaxes after a few weeks of normalcy.
One special night, Kuroko is kidnapped by Maurine who turns out to be a demon. The reason Kuroko feels a connection with Maurine is that Kuroko is the reincarnation of Maurine's deceased lover.
Maurine longs for the day his lover comes back and he finds out that his beloved has been reborn at last hence why he applied for a position at Seirin by mind manipulating the headmaster to give him the job.
The Phantom Idol: Akashi decides to make things right but he can't do it alone. Everyone is willing to help. They set up a special 'concert' where Tetsuya will sing with his brother and his bandmates, revealing himself as the 'Phantom Idol' and announces that the Wind Riders are returning. I even wrote the chapter for it but unfortunately lost interest in it
A/N: YESSSS IT'S FINALLY HERE, THE BIG REVEALATION.
Warnings: Un'beta'ed, some light BL moments, and possibly some unrealism since I don't know anything about broadcasting or all that shit 0_o
Notes:
*Speaking: "…"
*Thoughts: '…'
*Singing: "…"
*Phone calls: "…."
*Texts/Messages: example
Also, I kinda want you guys to play Fantastic Tune while reading this. Try to imagine the scenes being played out here while listening to this awesome song! Just to add a little more spark to the story! *_*
Enjoy~
~~000~~~
Finally, the big day has arrived.
After Kuroko Takahashi called for a press conference the other day to inform the media that Kuro-kun will finally reveal his identity, all of Japan is in a buzz. Tetsuya will unveil his identity in a form of performing a new song in front of the whole of Japan in the legendary stage of Budokan! Though, the stage is set to be filmed by the media, camera crew and Unlimited's staff only meaning that there will be no audience that will fill the stadium's enormous capacity. The broadcast footage will be aired throughout all of Japan and possibly even outside of it. After so much speculation on the identity of Tetsuya's idol self, it's now or never!
~~000~~~
Backstage in Budokan…
"WOWWW!"
Everyone awed at the sight of the Wind Riders when they strode from the dressing room into the backstage gathering room. All were wearing black clothing with some other colours in the mix but with different article of clothing for each member.
Kazuya was in black long-sleeved shirt and pair with a shiny, studded black leather jacket and wore skinny casual slacks with riveted sneakers studded with azure and black gems. Even his wristbands were studded with spiky gems. His asymetrical mullet was styled and tied with a sky-blue ribbon in a loose ponytail as to not hinder his playing and while retaining his azure shade, the black tips were given more colour. Now, the bottom half of his hair is black and the top half azure.
The ever proud Sora was sporting a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and paired with leather pants that had several sliver chains hanging from the belt and for footwear, a pair of low platform boots. He was also rocking a top hat to look like one of his guitar idols (Slash of Guns N Roses) and his hair was slightly messed up and crimped to match the look. His wrists had some dark gold chain bracelets decorated on.
Elegant Akira wore a lilac collared shirt with a sleeveless black, carhartt jacket on top. A pair of skinny dark brown casual slacks adorned his slim legs with a set of brown boots that were only ankle length. His luscious hair was tied loosely with a ribbon and styled to his left side that almost covered his eye, giving him that enigmatic look. His hands were clothed in black fingerless gloves, bejewelled with silver studs.
Kunihiko donned a black high-collared jacket that are medium sleeved with a pair of white skinny jeans with black stitching as decorations on its sides. His right arm had a white arm sock adorned while his left had a few studded wristbands like Kazuya's. His wild messy mane of slivery-white has been tamed, with the help of hair gel and lots of brushes, into romantic and sophisticated waves with his bangs being swept back by a hairband.
Tsukasa, hyper as usual, looked badass with his navy-blue mane given an almost chaotic hairstyle with some hair barrettes keeping the loose ends in place. His outfit consisted of a sleeveless, black turtleneck with indigo lightning streaks running down the hem and sides. The top is paired with a pair of camouflage cargo shorts and a set of sparkly, high-top converse sneakers that is coloured sliver and blue. He also wore a pair of black fingerless gloves while he was twirling his glowing drumsticks.
Even Seirin and the Miracles were impressed.
"As expected of our stylist and make-up magician! These are sweet!" Tsukasa spinning around, showing his excitement.
"Though Akashi-kun and the others don't look too bad either…" Akira complimented the rainbow teens.
Though not as extravagant as the five young adults, they were also looking good in their suits with the dress shirts and ties matching their hair colour. Even their hairstyles were nicely done;
Swept back, gentlemen styles.
"Why thank you, Chaihiro-san." Akashi smiled back lightly.
"Hmph, I still look awesome!" Sora held his head high while admiring his own reflection in a mirror, pissing some of the teens off at his blatant narcissism.
Aomine and Kagami were clearly uncomfortable as they actually never wore suits before. Kise is used to it as he is a model who had to wear a variety of clothing every time for his modelling shots. Midorima is an elegant young man who donned suits a lot too so he had no complains either and Akashi, well, as the sophisticated individual that he is, the tuxedo was perfectly normal for him. Murasakibara just couldn't care less as he snacked on some gummy bears since those are crumb-free.
"UGH! These things seriously itches! Couldn't we wear something else?" Taiga looked ridiculous as he scratched himself like a chimpanzee.
Ryouta was laughing his ass off at the tall redhead. "K-kagamicchi, you look so silly!"
"SHUT IT KISE!" The dual-haired boy proceeded to strangle the blond boy.
Seijuurou crossed his arms at the antics while Shintarou ignored the idiots as he walked towards Kazuya. "By the way, Kazuya-san, I haven't seen Kur-..I mean… Tetsuya. Where is he?" To the greenette, it was still really awkward to use their given names like this.
"Oh right. Since Tet-chan is like the star of today, he has to 'prettied' up extra special." The azurette gave the greenette teen a cheeky smile.
The greenette teen couldn't help but see Kazuya as an older version of his former teammate. They do look similar in many ways (considering they are brothers) but with the polar opposites in terms of personality, it made Shintarou wonder what happened to Tetsuya to make the boy so different from the young adult. Shintarou was about to ask him about to open his mouth again when a voice interrupted him.
"Kuroko-san! Tetsuya-kun is all done!" A high-pitched female shriek cut through the spacious room, making all heads turn to it and then… all jaws dropped at the sight of it as the three stylist side-stepped to reveal their masterpiece.
Kuroko Tetsuya was dressed in a black, punk rock fashion jacket studded in sky blue gems and black ribbons on the sleeves that went pass his knees on top of a smoky black dress shirt. He wore a pair of black shorts with crisscross belts that could have revealed quite a lot of skin if it weren't for the black thigh-high socks. On his small feet were a pair of glittery, black converse boots which were only knee high. His right hand was donned in a black and light-blue fingerless glove. And lastly, Tetsuya's light-blue hair was given a 'blown by the wind' style and with added layers, making it look like it had more volume than usual. This somewhat added more flair to his innocent charms…
But wow, did he look like a whole new person!
Tetsuya's family could tell that the poor boy was embarrassed despite the blank facade as the bright blush on his cheeks worsen when everyone in the room clapped and cheered even though his eyes were cast downwards. The sky-bluenette hid both his hands behind his back.
The Miracles and Seirin, however, had much greater reactions.
"K-k-k-kuroko-kun….? I-is that you…" Riko held her hands on her face. Her eyes were sparkling but in her mind, the poor brunette girl was jealous of the boy. 'Ugh, that thigh gap to die for! And why does a boy have smoother-looking legs than me?!'
The boy didn't answer verbally and just nodded. Seirin had never seen their Kuroko Tetsuya this shy and embarrassed before!
"Heh, Tetsu you really can sport the sexy 'zettai ryouiki' (also known in English as 'absolute territory', referring to the area of skin between the skirt/shorts and socks) look! Better than Satsuki or that coach of yours." Aomine bluntly said, making many look at him either in an unimpressed or in Riko's case, angered look.
The said boy's blush intensified at his former Light's words. "D-daiki-kun, just be quiet please…"
Ryouta was close to fainting in euphoria if it were not for Shintarou holding him by the arm but even the greenette's eyes never left the boy in front of them.
When Tetsuya finally looked at the people in front of him, the first person he asked was Kazuya, naturally.
"Well, how do I look, Onii-san…?"
Hearing his baby brother's voice made the azurette smiled warmly at his Tetsuya and sauntered towards him. "You look amazing, Tet-chan! There's nothing to be embarrassed about." He proceeded to bend down a bit and kisses Tetsuya on his forehead.
All females in the area squealed to their hearts' content.
The sky-bluenette managed to smile a little at his brother's comforting gesture but was still embarrassed that at the fact that his big brother did that in front of everyone. Because in Japan, public display of affection or gestures is considered odd and rude even among family and even the married.
"Onii-san, please don't do that when everyone is watching." The young sky-bluenette's voice dropped into a whisper but Kazuya just smirked at him. Looks like Kazuya is much more adapted to the Western ways during his stay there…
"Hehe, sorry sorry but, this outfit is seriously outrageous! It almost like a mixture of cute and dangerous. Did Maya-san choose this?" Kazuya tugged on the jacket and belt.
Tetsuya just sighs in slight irritation. "Yes, she did. Why is everyone putting me in such short shorts? It's already snowing." This just made Kazuya chuckle in mirth until…
"TET-CHAN, YOU'RE SO CUTE!"
A blur of dark blue attacked the young teen in a bear hug, practically knocking the azurette to the side on his backside. "OI!" He yelled after his friend.
Tetsuya found himself snugged in Tsukasa's arms while the latter nuzzled his hair. "Socutesocutesocute~" He chanted like a mantra of some sort.
~~Kuroko Tetsuya's P.O.V~~~
I am nervous. Even the word nervous was an understatement to describe what I was feeling at the moment. After much consultation from Nii-san, Ojii-san and everyone else, I've finally made my ultimate decision. From the damage Akashi-kun's, no I mean, Seiijuurou-kun's father had done, it was too late to reverse everything now and this seemed to be the best choice. But the thought of doing this was making my stomach turn many degrees.
After so much speculation on my identity, I think it is only right if I myself was the one to reveal the truth.
As I still trembled lightly, I felt someone embracing me from behind, startling me out of my nervousness. The heat from this person was loving and caring and when I felt this person place their chin atop of my head, that's when I spotted the oh-too-familiar black-tipped azure hair from the corner of my eye. "Onii-san..?"
Nii-san's embrace got tighter but was still gentle. "Sorry Tet-chan, I saw you trembling and I felt worried." His soft voice whispering near my right ear. I knew I couldn't conceal anything from him. I placed my hands on his arms, leaning into his hug.
"I aplogise Nii-san, for making you worry. Truthfully, I am scared of going on the stage and finally closing the case on my secret. Despite being a so-called idol, I never performed on stage before…." I felt kind of bitter towards myself.
~~Kuroko Kazuya's P.O.V~~~
I look down on my baby brother after he said that. I'm surprised at his bitter tone because it almost sounds like resentment towards himself.
Here in Japan, we take the young idol system or as we call them 'Junior Idols' very seriously (maybe to seriously to a point of obsession). Companies are always on the lookout for pretty or cute children with talents for performing and then, put them straight under the spotlight. The younger, the better. However, despite the popularity and money that is produce every time these children perform, there were bound to be dangers.
Stalkers, crazed and obsessed fans or even pedophiles would try as much as they can to get close to their favourite idols. To me, this is disturbing in more ways than one! When Tet-chan told me that he too wanted to sing like me and my friends, I absolutely can't imagine my precious brother being the object of desire to those crazed and perverted bastards! I was very adamant at first to not let him be an idol.
But when he said only a singing idol with a mysterious identity? OK why not?
"Kasunda mirai wo
kirisaku youni terasu hikari
musuu no kanousei wo motome…"
"Gotta open my eyes!"
Tetsuya headbanged once as the single spotlight that was on him turned into strobe lights as it shone even brighter than the spotlight but this time, the Wind Riders' silhouette figures finally came into view, revealing who was playing the music.
The sky-bluenette bounced on his feet a few times before returning back to the microphone.
"Wake up! Sabitsuita… me ni hi wo tomose…"
"Get up!"
"Kusubutteru baai janain da zettai."
The sky-bluenette struck a somewhat sensual pose (in the dirty minds of the Miracles, of course)
"Youi sareta risou nante iranai
yuragu koto no nai ishi to
mikansei na chizu de ii kara…"
"….asu wo tsukame kono te de…."
Tsukasa somehow manages to switch his drumsticks during the one second interval as Tetsuya strikes a side pose while holding the microphone stand with both hands. His eyes closed as he sang the next verse with a powerful-looking singing face.
"Detarame na RIZUMU de
nurikaete iku kako ni
koukai hitotsu arienai daro
ari no mama no BIITO de
kurikaeshiteku genzai wo
kasaneta mirai kagayaku youni…"
"kizamikonda sonzai wo kesshou toshite…"
"Keep it in my story…!"
After the boy finished his part, Kazuya and Sora both went into a back-to-back pose while still playing, Kunihiko went up to Tetsuya and the two smiled to each other while Tsukasa was going nuts like he always did on the drums and Akira was as cool as ever with his fingers gliding over the keys elegantly.
"Maybe sou kakushou nante sa…!"
"Right now, motteru hazu wa nai
One day uru kekka toshite no
MESSEJI I mean it….woah!"
"Youshanai sentaku wo tamerai mo shinai
kakehiki mo iranai
tsunagu beki michi wo tada susunde iku dake…!"
"Aseru koto wa nai hazu nanda
yukkuri to kono me de tashikamereba ii
asu wo egake kono te de…!"
The dark golden haired man did a rockstar power slide as he made the guitar wail which is part of the song.
"Gamushara de ii sa kitto
rashisa datte shitterun da
koukai nante shitakunai daro
kakinaraseyo jiyuu wo
furikazaseyo setsubou wo
bukyou datte kamawanai kara…."
"..ima wa mae dake wo muite ikunda…"
"With a fantastic tune…"
The lights dimmed considerably as two spotlights shone on Akira as he did his keyboard interval solo while Tetsuya held the mic firmly with both hands and had a relaxed expression, respectively.
"Taking time for ease my pain
and listening to the
sound from myself
myself…"
The free hand that was at first on his chest, clenched into a fist as Tetsuya threw his head back.
"Woah…Yeah! Woah…YEAH…!"
During the timeline the sky-bluenette unleased that powerful note, Taiga and the rest of the Miracles had their eyes widened in surprise. Despite having low stamina, he sure had powerful lungs to pull that high vocal note, they thought to themselves.
'Woah, Kur- I mean Tetsuya can sing that high and loud?' Was Taiga's thought as he stared at his best friend.
'Tetsuyacchi is amazing! As expected from him!' Ryouta shook in glee, his respect and adoration for his former mentor was even, even higher!
'For a quiet person, he has quite a powerful voice…' Shintarou pushed his glasses up in newer and higher respect for his former teammate.
Everyone snapped out of their musings at Akashi's stare and for a really good reason too:
Their part was coming up next!
It might be for a very short time but it will mean a lot!
After the guitar solo, more stage lights lit up on the second stage pad just surrounding where the Wind Riders and Tetsuya were standing, as Kagami and the Miracles were finally revealed, looking sharp in their suits. On stage right, was Akashi, Midorima and Murasakibara while on stage left stood Aomine, Kise and Kagami.
As part of the song like they have practiced, they started clapping following the beat of the song.
"What a fantastic tune…"
"Woah, woah, Everybody say..!"
Then, came the chorus where all seven of them sang together,
"What a fantastic tune woah, woah…!"
Meanwhile somewhere in various parts of Japan…
Imayoshi Shoichi, the former captain of Touou High's basketball club and Susa Yoshinori were currently in the former's home, studying for their university entrance exam. They decided to take a little break from their studying to watch the hot topic everyone's been on about, the revelation of the Phantom Idol. Tuning to the live broadcast, they expected the rumours from the Net and papers to be true about their old rival from Seirin but what they DIDN'T expect was their recently former Ace on the stage as well!
Imayoshi's fox-like smile dropped while Susa dropped the bowl of chips he was munching on and both exclaimed at the same time, "WHAT THE….?!"
~~Touou~~~
Sakurai Ryo nearly spills his freshly-made lunch in total surprise.
Wakamatsu Kousuke shouting a string of profanities at his laptop.
~~Kaijou~~~
In Kanagawa, Kasamatsu Yukio, Moriyama Yoshitaka and Kobori Kouji were in a café watching the broadcast of Budokan, calmly dining. But when they saw their former underclassman and Ace in the broadcast as well, all three young men either choked on their pies and cakes or spat their drinks out, causing the waiters to rush towards them, asking if they were alright.
After seeing his teammate on stage, Hayakawa Mitsuhiro's words were jumbled into complete nonsense that no human can translate what he was saying.
~~Rakuzan~~~
"SEI-CHAN?!"
~~Shuutoku~~~
"SHIN-CHAN?!"
~~Yosen~~~
"WHY IS ATSUSHI THERE TOO?!" Fukui Kensuke was gawking at the screen of the TV as he, Wei Lui and Himuro were lounging in their dorms' TV room and the other students were watching with great interest.
Tetsuya was now in a back-to-back pose with his older brother whom sang along with the seven teens for the last chorus.
"Detarame na RIZUMU de
nurikaete iku kako ni
koukai hitotsu arienai daro
ari no mama no BIITO de
kurikaeshiteku genzai wo
kasaneta mirai kagayaku youni…"
"…kizamikonda sonzai wo kesshou toshite…."
"Keep it in my story…!"
Kagami and the rest of the Miracles jumped off the second stage and joined with Tetsuya as they all posed for the final shot with the Wind Riders posing with their instruments.
~~000~~~
A/N: I don't know why I laughed so hard at the scenes where the rest of the university freshmen and their schoolmates were shocked beyond belief when they saw the Miracles on stage…oh well…
Oh and sorry if I ranted a bit in the form of Kazuya! I was just pouring out whatever I felt about 'Idols' especially in Japan where to me, they're nothing more than robots built to satisfy fantasies of crazed pedophiles. From the no-dating policy to swimsuit photoshoots of underage kids? And why are the idols so damn young? I just can't! Though I myself is a fan of Babymetal, but I'm seriously not into these kind of things. I'm so sorry to those who do like Junior Idols! Please, no hard feelings!
Also, the reason why I bolded the colour names (exception is Kazuya) is that that's where I got the inspiration for their surnames. The colours are not dark but yeah, you get the picture!
Kin (金)- Gold
Nokon(濃紺)- Dark blue
Shiro (白)- White
Chai (茶色)- Brown
