A/N: First, thank you all for reading this far and commenting! Every feedback inspired me big time - and I hope you can also see that inspiration in this last chapter!

And, I´m sorry if you didn't find this predictable enough.

And, (*grinning*) please don´t use this fic as an example of perfect English. Like I said at the beginning, my English isn´t... ABSOLUTE.

Now, I hope you enjoy this last part - or, at least, get some Kuroko no Basuke chills.

Yours,

Monstery

Chapter Six Point Two

Kill Kuroko

Tetsuya raised his right hand on eye level.

Akashi looked at the black wristband on it.

´Yes, Ogiwara. Remember his name´, Tetsuya said quietly, ´he gave me these after he and his team quit basketball… because of you, Akashi-kun. My old friend will always be with me. I´ll never take these off. You know nothing about friendship, brother dear.´

Akashi stared him steadily.

´Tetsuya, please tell me something.´

He took a breath and asked:

´Can you love someone like that?´

Tetsuya blinked his eyes.

´I´m here now because I´m gonna revenge for Shige… Not telling, how you can learn to love.´

´Do you feel good? Does this revenge make you feel good?´ asked Akashi.

Suddenly Tetsuya looked confused.

´That´s not…´

´Let´s play´, Akashi said, ´Show me your basketball.´

Suddenly Kuroko saw nothing but a court.

Akashi was bouncing the ball. Long time ago Kuroko was so naïve and thought he was nice. Well, Akashi, the real one, helped him – and so Akashi helped himself.

In reality, Akashi was just a calculating snob. Akashi used him.

Emperor Eye was staring at him. Kuroko´s Blood Eye blinked. Akashi tried to pass him, Kuroko fell, and Akashi fell too.

This is my Blood Eye.

´I told you´, Kuroko said, ´I´m going to do something for your breathing. ´

Akashi looked angry – a rare sight.

They both stood up quickly. Akashi took the ball and tried to toss, but Kuroko blocked it.

He was feeling it… the zone.

´This is our last game together´, Kuroko said.

Akashi didn´t answer, but suddenly Aomine said loudly:

´Tetsu, pass for me! ´

´What? ´ snarled Akashi.

Aomine shook his head.

´Tetsu… I just got it… This ain´t gonna end like this. The point was that we are… were… a team. Okey. I´m gonna help you beat him.´

Akashi raised his eyebrows.

´What is this?´

Kuroko looked at Aomine. Was this some stupid plot?

´I don´t need your help, Aomine –´

´Sounds familiar´, Aomine spoke over him and smiled shortly, ´Well well Tetsu, no way you are like me now?´

Kuroko squeezed the ball and was staring Aomine.

He´s right. What would Oqiwara think of me?

"You aren´t smiling", Aomine pointed out, ´not really. ´

´Aominechi is right´, Kise said, ´You were right, Kurochi! B-ball isn´t fun like this… Like… without teamplay. ´

´Too little, too late´, Kuroko answered.

´I didn´t take a lucky item today with me´, Midorima said, ´because I thought I won´t need it… ´

Kuroko turned his head and saw Akashi´s slightly surprised face.

´The Rehab has taught me one thing´, Murasakibara interfered, ´I can´t survive without others.´

´Tetsu-kun´, Momoi cried, ´they have chanced! Dai-chan is playing streetbasket again, and Mukkun just helped me with the send off, and Kise-kun is actually –´

Kuroko laughed.

´Well, fine. But –´

´Tetsuya´, Akashi said calmly and put a hand on his shoulder, ´at the same time you tried to revenge… you became like us. And I see now how stupid you look. ´

Kuroko´s eyes blinked wide open.

´You´re alone´, Akashi continued, ´I know how you feel., Current you was created just because you had no other choice, you wanted more power. But it´s going to… choke you. ´

No… There´s still that other me... And Akashi, too.

´SHUT UP! ´ Kuroko yelled and passed the ball to Aomine.

Aomine took the ball. But when he raised his eyes, Kuroko wasn´t on the court anymore.

´Tetsuya!´ Akashi yelled but no one answered.

´Were is he? ´ asked Kise.

´He ran away in the middle of the game?´ wondered Murasakibara. ´Does this mean we won?´

´That´s not so simple´, Midorima said.

´Tetsuya was still in the zone´, Akashi said, ´but now he started some other game.´

´There´s the Phantom man for ya´, Aomine sighed. ´Let´s find him! ´

At the locker room:

Kuroko hurried into the locker room and leaned against the wall. Then he punched himself in the face. Then he slumped on the floor.

And just like that Aomine would have knocked him out.

Kuroko smiled. He was going to win. He would own the Generation of Miracled forever.

Kuroko was going to die.

He was going to commit a suicide. But it wouldn´t look like a suicide. His death would look like a murder… And his former teammates would be murderers.

No, don´t do it. They have suffered enough… And there is more in this life.

Kuroko took a syringe from his bag.

The Generation of Miracles will suffer enough after this.

This isn´t what Ogiwara wants. This isn´t you.

There was deadly amount of morphine inside the syringe. Murasakibara would have stolen it from rehabilitation center. Kuroko looked at the liquid. He would burn it and then he would get somewhere near the basketball hall. Akashi invited him there, after all.

He took a deep breath.

I got the last hurray.

He put the needle against his skin. Suddenly he wasn´t so sure.

Quickly, before they find you!

I want… to be friends…

"I will… own them."

Then Kuroko closed his eyes. He felt the tears.

´DON`T!´

Kuroko pressed the piston on the bottom.

The poison affected surprisingly quickly. Kuroko stood up put he had to lean on the wall. He knew he couldn´t walk far enough so he just threw the syringe on the garbage can.

Pathetic…

He fell back on the floor.

Someone was yelling his firstname.

´OI! HE´S HERE!´

It was Aomine. Kuroko raised his fist.

´Please, give it back.´

´What you – you aren´t okey…´

Aomine sat next to him.

Kuroko pushed him.

´Return my fistbump. It´s my last fish, Aomine-kun.´

´Last? What the hell, Tetsu? What did you take –´

Kuroko couldn´t see his face anymore. He hit him again. Then Aomine bumped his fist.

Kuroko smiled with ease.

´Goodbye...´

He couldn´t hear him anymore.

´Forgive me, Tetsu… I´m so sorry…´

´I got in Tōō High´, Satsuski announced happily and waved a letter in front of her.

Aomine was surprised and stopped walking in the middle of the hallway.

´I can´t let you go there alone, Dai-chan´, Satsuki said, smirking. Then she turned away and swing her schoolbag on her shoulder.

But, suddenly, Aomine snatched a hem of her shirt. Satsuki stopped and turned back with confuse. Aomine was looking down.

´Thank you… Satsuki.´

´Eh, it´s okey. Well, it wasn´t just for you… Tōō is powerschool so I think I would learn something new about management…´

Aomine nodded but didn´t let go of her shirt.

´Dai-chan?´

Aomine´s pulse rose. He was glad: Satsuki would join him at the same high school. They would be together the next three years. Maybe Aomine should wait. He got time…

´And can you imagine? Their captain contacted me recently, he had heard of me. ´Course he was also curious about you, but I didn´t tell anything –´

Aomine raised his eyes. He wouldn´t let her go again.

´Satsuki!´

´Mm?´

Aomine ignored his red face and leaned forward.

He kissed Satsuki. He let his love feel, at last.

Satsuki opened her mouth and hold on to him.

Thanks, Tetsu. Without my shadow I would be still lying alone on the roof.

At the Same time at Café:

Kise paid his soda and took a step back, but then he collided with someone.

´Oh, I´m so sorry, I –´

That someone was Reiko, girl from Haizaki´s gang.

Kise´s smile disappeared. Reiko blushed.

´Quess I earned that´, she said and swiped her wet dress with a napkin.

Kise looked around him.

´Is Haizaki also here?´

Reiko shook her head and said timidly:

´He got caught last week when he stabbed someone… He´s in jail.´

Kise relaxed. He looked at his soda.

´Wanna join me?´

´Really?" asked Reiko. Finally their eyes met. ´But someone could see you with me… You´re so popular…´

Kise tilted his head.

´Kise-kun… I´m so sorry! Haizaki was blackmailing me –"

´Tell me the whole story´, Kise interrupted, ´but let´s sit first. Next to the window.´

At the Same time at the Rehabilitation Center:

Murasakibara was sitting on the yard and chewed a chocolatebar. It was so pieceful in here. That was also the reason he didn´t leave this place even though they would´ve allowed it.

He had the acceptance letter from Akita in the pocket of his bathrobe.

For now, Murasakibara enjoyed little things. He believed that soon he would meet someone who wasn't as boring as him. Maybe that someone would play b-ball with him.

At the Same time at the Cemetery:

Midorima walked away from the cemetery. What a cliche, some sakura tree leaves flew on the air.

He was holding his certificate from Teiko. He would take it home and then go to the beach with Naoko and other classmates. He felt like celebrating.

At the Same time at the Tomb:

Akashi was watching white chrysanthemums on the tomb.

´I´m myself again´, Akashi said out loud, ´you would be proud. ´

He raised his red eyes and saw the sunset on the horizon.

´I have to make some new friends soon, in high school´, Akashi said, ´haven´t done that in a long time. I´m afraid they´ll think I´m upper-class snob. ´

´Akashi-kun, you are upper-class snob´, stated a boy next to him.

Akashi turned and smiled to his brother.

´Welcome to the club, Tetsuya. ´

Tetsuya smiled back and rubbed his wrists. They still had red marks from wristbands.

Akashi headed back to the gate. As walking he said:

´It´s good we´re in different high schools. Otherwise we´d see each other too much. ´

´You just wanna play against me´, Tetsuya pointed out with his calm voice, ´somehow you got through your will again. We allare rivals now. ´

Akashi snorted.

´It wasn´t just my will. We all are friends, Tetsuya, thanks to you. But we all are also basketball players. ´

Tetsuya nodded and they entered into the limo.

´And about friends: now we´ll get many friends from different schools! ´

Akashi rolled his eyes.

´Sometimes you´re like a dog… So eager… And every person is valuable. ´

Kuroko stared his own reflection from the dark window of the limo. His both eyes were light blue again. One couldn´t see any signs of poisoning anymore.

Kuroko looked happy.

Thanks to Generation of Miracles, Akashi hadn´t visited Kuroko´s tomb just now but his mom´s.

A demon inside Kuroko had vanished after the hospital.

No, not vanished. Sealed.

Ogiwara´s wristbands were inside a bureau in his new room, in the Akashi Mansion.

Kuroko turned his head and watched Akashi. His both eyes were red, like they used to be long time ago. Akashi had apologized Ogiwara when they both visited at the hospital to see Kuroko.

Soon they arrived at home. Kuroko walked behind his new brother and smiled. He caused something bad, something good.

Far away, but close enough, their other sides were walking side by side, eyes shimmering in the dark.
