The story of how and why and questions might or might not be answered. AKA Sorry for not updating sooner, I just started highschool so we was busy lol.

These days, I've made many friends.

Their journey was on foot. Flickers of red would cloud his vision at night. By the third day, everyone was tense. Bodies full of nerve and anxiety. Nobody seemed to notice though.

And their journey continued. "We'll reach him again," Kuroko whispered. "And I'll be home in no time."

Akashi had half a mind to think about Kuroko. But it seemed even he couldn't stop himself from slipping away into his memories. With the Spiders all gone and resting, his mind was quiet. As his head lulled to the side, he could hear children laughing around him. "Just be safe, okay," he mumbled to them. "You guys are always trying so hard, just rest and I'll take care of everything."

Kuroko's eyes followed the Spirits traveling along the same path as them. The shadows clawed at their backs, liquid black pooling near the ground. Almost like blood, he thought. Kise was laughing at something Aomine had said before turning towards the small Seer. "Kurokocchi, are you okay?" Before he could reply, a large claw was wrapped around him and he was pulled away by Momoi. "Kuroko, stay behind us," she warned. They surrounded him, backs turned. He was sick of this behavior, acting as though he was fragile. But he knew he really was, a mere human in the world of spirits. An outsider. As the others laughed and joked, a wave of unease clawed his throat.

He stopped and the others didn't even notice. More Spirits passed by him and he wished for his grandmother's warm arms. A small figure tugged at his sleeve, "It's okay." Red hair bloomed in his eyes and he was soon next to the group. "Akashi?" Midorima quirked his eyebrows up,"If you're talking about Akashi, he's right up there." He pointed a webbed finger to the top of a castle right next to the path. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

So you don't need to worry about me.

Day melted into night and slowly back into day. You could even say it was calm. Could, being the key word here. Akashi didn't think so. "I'm breaking out," he said to himself. Good Akashi nodded,"You're finally taking initiative." Bad Akashi scowled,"No! Are you an idiot?" He groaned after awhile. "I'm talking to myself, i can't believe I'm talking to myself."

"Yeah, it's pretty crazy that you're finally talking," Hanamiya said. Akashi nodded before snapping his head around. "You little impudent piece of-" "Hush, if you don't shut up now I'll kill them."

"Them?"

"Kuroko and the gang." Akashi snarled,"You wouldn't." Hanamiya barked out a laugh,"I can and I just might. All you need to do is tell me one thing?"

And what is that?"

"How the fuck did you kill those kids and manage to get us blamed?"
