Third here comes the second chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it :)

I do not own any of those characters. Fujimaki Tadatoshi does 3

It hurt… And it felt too hot, like his skin was burning…

The painful stretching in his legs as they elongated, taking the form of human hands and legs…

The heat in his body as he felt his internal organs shift to accommodate his body changing size…

The shift had started, and it felt like his body was turning inside out. But he couldn't stop it… the pull was too strong… A groan left his mouth as he fell on his hands and knees…

Hetero-chromatic eyes opened in the dark room, as their owner awoke with a loud gasp. A shaking hand reached for the bedside lamp, turning it on. Was that a bad dream?

No. No dream could make him feel like this or even react this strong. His hands and body were still shaking, his heart rate had considerably picked and he could feel it. He could feel that one of his eyes had changed color, the light tingle his left eye told him as much.

That hadn't been a dream, too vivid to be one. Akashi knew that what he had felt, experienced right then was someone's else pain, someone else first shift. He had experienced everything, every sensations from the excruciating pain of the shift to the shifter's thoughts. Even now, Akashi could almost feel the pain in his own body. It couldn't be a dream, no. He had just been connected with him duringhis firstshift.

Akashi sat up and tried to control his breathing. He needed to focus. There was only one person able to connect to his psychic at such a high level. Only one person person could make Akashi feel this way or even make his powers react so strongly that his eyes reacted. The red head closed his eyes, taking in deep breaths and focusing, tried to reach out for for the fleeting presence in his mind. The strain of magic was still there, he could feel it, but it was way too weak for Akashi to pinpoint an exact location.

Swearing loudly, he grabbed his cell phone and quickly dialed the number he knew by heart. He needed to act fast for the seal had been broken or at least part of it was. And if he had felt that stirr of magic, could still feel it then it also meant that others could had felt it too. Akashi wasted no time in preambles when he heard the small click at the other side of the phone:

"I need you to come here as soon as possible. I just felt him… I felt Tetsuya. He was shifting."

Silence at the other hand of the phone then… " Aka-chin, do you mean… "

"Yes. The seal is broken. Somehow Tetsuya's found a way to…" Akashi paused. Now wasn't the time for explanations. " I can still feel him but the magical strain is getting too weak for me. We have to hurry and find him, Atsushi. If I was able to feel him… then that sorcerer felt him too. We have to hurry before that man gets his hands on my brother."

Kise Ryota opened the door to his balcony, leaving the noisy Halloween party and its people inside. Worried eyes looked up at the starry sky as he tried to comprehend what he had just felt. Something had just happened few minutes ago. There had been an intense stirring in the spiritual world, so intense that the animal in him had become agitated. He couldn't tell whether whatever happened had been good or bad, but he knew it was important.

Arms wrapping around his waist distracted him from his thoughts.

"You felt something too didn't you?" Cutting right to the chase, just like usual. Kise nodded quietly. There was no need for denial with Aomine since he knew him all too well. "I felt something too, but you've always been more sensitive to that kind of stuff. Did it come from…"

"No it wasn't him. It was something different." Kise turned around in his mate arms and met Aomine's eyes "To be honest, I don't know what it was I felt exactly. All I know is that something important just happened. I… Aominecchi…"

The dark skinned male playfully pinched the blonde's nose, earning himself an offended gasp. "I can almost hear the wheels turning in that blonde head of yours. You worry too much." Aomine let him go and went to stand next to him. They were quiet for a moment, both looking at the pale moon in the sky.

"Whatever that was, it's unnecessary to worry about it right now. Worrying won't change anything. Let's wait and see what happens. I before you start overworking your brain".

Kise looked at the dark profile of his mate for a few seconds, then smiled. "You're right. Let's go back inside Aominecchi… before Momoicchi decides to take you shopping all week-end long."

Kise heard Aomine grumble something about "annoying Satsuki" as they went back inside and he laughed slightly. Yep, they should focus on their party for tonight. Tomorrow they could focus on looking for information on what they felt tonight

Finally, he had finally taken human form.

Albeit, after a very painful shift which allegedly should have been "a slightly painful but easy process". Whoever had told him that -he couldn't remember them at all- had been lying through their teeth. The whole thing had been so painful and difficult, Kuroko could still feel some aftermath pain and heat in his body. And all that pain had been for this…

Kuroko had been waiting for this day to come for so long, the day where he would finally shift into a human. Yet as he looked at his reflection in the glass window, he felt kind of disappointed. Pale white skin, slender yet fit body build, spiky hair the same light blue color as his features were bland compared to the other humans he had seen so far, especially those humans who called themselves his redhead master's friends.

When he thought about them all, Kuroko couldn't help but feel even more saddened with his appearance. There was nothing special about him, nothing really interesting. And why had his hair turned this pale blue? Not only his hair, but even his tail. Kuroko looked at the long blue tail trailing behind his back. He had always thought that his hair would be as dark as his fur.

A small sigh left him. Well at least now you're human, just like the master. Kuroko's heart rate picked up slightly at this though and his eyes went to the his master's bedroom door. Maybe you should stop thinking of him as master now? Kuroko shrugged, dismissing the internal voice. Tail flicking, he moved silently till he he reached the closed door and stopped right in front of it, hesitating. Should he go inside the room like this? Maybe he should wait for the other human permission before he entered. But then at the same time… He had waited months for this day to come, the day when he could be like Kagami, the day when he could finally be with him. And this night was finally it.

I'll just go in for a bit, just a moment and I'll be out. Kuroko only hesitated a few more seconds, before he went inside the room, with this promise in mind. Promise which wouldn't last long as one look at the sleeping form on the bed, at the redhead's peaceful expression had Kuroko get closer to the bed. He would be there just for a little bit, he though again.

Once there though, getting closer wasn't enough anymore. Kuroko became captivated with the way the redhead's naked chest rose and fell with his breathing. With each small intake of breath from the other male, Kuroko wondered what the redhead's heartbeat sounded like. Coming even closer and leaning on the bed, he pressed his head against the dormant redhead's chest. Such a strong beating heart. Kuroko closed his eyes happily, tail waving from side to side, concentrating on the sound of the beating heart …

… And what should have been "a little bit" in Kagami Taiga's bedroom became "the whole night".

End of the chapter! The next chapter is going to be longer than this one because... well I can't tell ^.^

Please read & review. I'll try to answer to everyone in the next update :3
