This one is shorter, still from Kise's POV.

Another month had passed by and I kept seeing Aomine everywhere, mostly when I was alone and my thoughts consumed me whole. But the image I had of him was distorted, he was a heartless bastard, so unlike my Aomine. At first I just saw him some days at random, but as the month was coming to an end I started to see him every day. Takao and Midorima hadn't seen him yet and I knew they were starting to suspect that this Aomine was indeed one hallucination just like my mother had informed us, but it felt too real to me for be just that. If he was indeed a hallucination, why could I feel him?

Well, I was suspecting it too because he would just appear when I was on the bathroom or on my room, those were the moments were my mind was filled with thoughts of Aomine, because every time I'm alone I start to think about him and the kids. I wonder how they are doing if they are happy and whether they think about me as much as I do. It was like a distraction for me.

I was sleeping soundly when I felt cold all of the sudden, without opening my eyes I started to search for the blankets with my hand when I touched something warm, my eyes flew open and I was greeted by a smirking Aomine. I tried to push him away but he was stronger than me. I stood from bed and I rushed to the door but I was stopped by him. He grabbed me by my wrist and threw me to the bed again.

Closing the door behind him and shaking his head "Where are you going, Kise?" he smirked walking towards me.

I glared at him and growled "Leave me alone" I sat at the edge of the bed contemplating my possibilities to run away.

He laughed "Don't be like that with me, we both know what you want from me"

I gritted my teeth and shook my head "Don't you dare to touch me with your filthy paws" I warned him glaring at him.

"You miss me, don't you?" he whispered now more near me.

Before I could get out from the bed he pinned me down and grabbed my hands and held them above my head with one of his hands. I looked at him and he just responded with a smirk. I narrowed my eyes and I spat at his face. He didn't seem very amused by my actions because soon I felt a piercing pain in my chest and I saw him smirking darkly. I kicked him in the guts and he slapped me, by the impact and surprise I pierced my lip with my fangs, blood started to drip down my face and he looked content by that. I tried to free myself from that beast that was up to me. I struggled to get free but to no avail, so I did the only thing I could.

"TAKAOCCHI! HELP!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.

Aomine didn't seem so happy by that and he kicked me in the head making me loss consciousness. They do think that this is a hallucination but the pain is real so sometimes I wonder if it is truly a hallucination. Because if it was this shouldn't hurt, should it?

Takao and Midorima were sitting idle at the couch in complete silence, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Takao was staring at Midorima and this one was studying all of the folders and looking for new places to stay at. They were being chased and they couldn't stay in a place for too long but since Kise has been acting weird and they had to watch for their chasers and for Kise everything was just becoming more difficult. Midorima has realized that the medicine that did wonders at the beginning now wasn't doing him any good and he didn't understand why. There were a lot of things from the folders that he still didn't understand no matter how many times he read it.

They were quietly sitting when they heard the cry of help from Kise. They looked at each other and stood abruptly dashing directly to Kise's room. When they opened the door they found Kise unmoving body on the bed. Midorima gasped when he saw all the blood dripping from his open chest and he realized that the dark marks that had been fading were starting to grow once again and this is something Kise hadn't informed him about.

Agitated and alarmed by the state the hybrid was in he rushed to his side "Takao go to my room and grab my bag" Midorima ordered.

Takao without losing any second flew towards their room and grabbed the bag Midorima talked about. He came back and handled it to Midorima, this one started to treat Kise's wounds. He bandaged up and they both waited in the room for Kise to awake.

After two hours Kise seemed to be awaking but he suddenly jerked up like if he was fighting with someone and both of them looked surprised by his actions. They decided to keep quiet and watch to see how will unfold the situation.

Battling his arms widely in front of him "Why do you keep coming?" Kise growled.

No answer was given. Takao looked at Midorima with a concerned expression. The Aomine that Kise was seeing was indeed a hallucination in the end. Kise battled with it and they realized he didn't notice them being in the room, like if he was alone with that hallucination. Midorima stepped forward and caught Kise. He shook him, and this one seemed to snap and focused his gaze on his face.

Relief washed over the blond' features when he saw the other vampire "Midorimacchi, have you seen him?" Kise asked now.

Midorima shook his head "Kise, we were here when you started to fight and we saw nothing"

Kise's face seemed down and he looked away "S-so Aominecchi is a hallucination…."

"Kise, don't worry, we will find a solution for all of this" Midorima tried to reassure the blond.

Kise's head hang down as if in resignation "You are going to send a letter to Akashi-sama, could I write for Aominecchi too?" he didn't see the light at the end of the road, it was getting darker and darker for him.

Midorima nodded "Of course, Kise, but I might say you that this one will be the last I will send because the last time we almost got caught"

He nodded weakly "Is fine by me, I-I just want to part from Aominecchi…" Kise choked out.

Takao chimed in seeing what the hybrid was thinking "Kise, this means nothing, we will find something!"

Kise looked at him and offered him a broken smile "I don't know anymore… Takaocchi" he looked at his hands which trembled "Can you let me alone so I can write?"

"Sure" Midorima responded.

Midorima dragged out a not so happy Takao. He didn't want to leave Kise alone not now that he seemed so upset, he wanted to let clear that they will heal him at any cost and make sure that Kise understood that.

Takao stormed to their room and Midorima closed the door. Takao looked at him with a sad expression and Midorima sighed. He knew why his lover was like that and he felt the same way as him.

Frowning and waving his arms around "Shin-chan, there is nothing we can do to help him?" Takao asked desperately.

Midorima approached him and wrapped his arms around his lover "I don't know, Takao, this isn't an easy thing"

Snuggling his face on the other' chest "B-but… we have to cure him…" Takao sobbed.

Midorima hugged him tightly and rested his chin on the top of the converted' head "Takao, please calm down"

Shaking violently on his arms "I can't calm down when my friend is suffering and I'm useless" Takao retorted.

"Takao, you are not the only one whom feels like that" Midorima said back.

Takao clung to him "Sorry, Shin-chan… I didn't want to start a fight with you…"

"Is fine, don't worry" Midorima kissed his head.

Here I was alone in my room sitting in front a blank paper with a lot to write and not having an idea as to how start with. I sighed loudly and I leaned over the chair resting my head on the table. I kicked my head softly against the wood. I felt so pathetic. My life now was going down a cliff and I couldn't get hold of anything, and furthermore I was apart from them and I was putting in danger my family and friends.

And then like that my hand began to write alone trying to order my thoughts in this sheet of paper. While I was at it my window blow sending all the pieces of the glass scattering around the entire room, I covered my face in panic and some of the glasses reached me scratching me by the force they were driven.

I grabbed the paper and I dashed out of the room in a panic. My heart beating madly against my ribcage, the moment I stepped out I collided with Takao and Midorima, whom looked as distressed as I was, when they saw me they sighed in relief. They grabbed me and we rushed out of there but just at the entrance door those beasts were waiting for us and when they saw us they lunged at us, one bitted Midorima's arm and he got a hold of the one whom attacked him and threw it at the others and we used the opportunity of confusion to flew away and towards the car.

Once we were there Takao took the keys from Midorima's hand and Midorima growled but Takao's stern look shut him up. We entered the car and Takao started to drive at full speed but it wasn't long after we were being chased by a few cars, which had never happened before. They had always given up half-way, this time they were serious.

I shook my head and I looked at the wrinkled paper that I held and I started to write once again, telling everything to Aomine. This time not missing anything and expressing how much I love him and how grateful I was to ever meet him, when I ended with the letter I passed it to Midorima and he started to write right away.

The cars seemed to grow in number and to decrease the distance between them and us. We were really nervous, but we didn't voice it. We didn't know where to go at this point. We were being cornered and soon they will get a hold of us and then they started to shot at us. The bullet passed some inches away from my face and here is where we started to really fear for our lives. They were getting serious and didn't seem like they will give up any time sooner.

The green haired vampire seemed to have a plan "Takao, do you remember that forest from the south" Midorima said.

Takao nodded and made a turn to the left roughly "Yeah but you know it is a risky decision"

"But is better than this" he retorted pointed at the cars that were chasing us.

Takao chuckled and nodded. Midorima had already bandaged his arm and he had folded the letter already. He looked around and pointed at something in front of us, he lowered his window and threw the letter in the post-box and then Takao speed up once again.

We arrived to a really big and leafy forest, to which I have never been before. Takao parked abruptly and we climbed down the car in a rush. We ventured deep inside expecting them to give up but they didn't. We heard those beasts howling viciously and my heart was thrumming more erratic than ever, the sound was beating on my ears and it was causing me to lose control. Midorima narrowed his eyes and looked at Takao.

Now he looked down his bandaged arm "They are probably after my blood. I will do as a decoy, you both take the chance to escape" Midorima explained.

Takao turned violently to look at him with wide eyes and an expression that told him to stop playing the hero "Like hell I'm doing that! What if they get a hold of you?"

Midorima sighed and smiled briefly, he approached the converted and caressed his cheek "Kazunari, will you do it for me?"

Frowning to hide the blush he turned around "That's cheating, Shin-chan" he pursed his lips and grabbed Midorima by his collar forcing him to lean down into a kiss "I will do it but you better return to me in one piece, you heard me?" he warned.

Midorima laughed and patted his head "Loud and clear"

Then Takao held my hand and started to rush from there not looking back at any moment. I did turn to look at Midorima and I saw his sad smile and solemn expression and that just let an unsettling feeling start to build up on my chest. He wouldn't be thinking of sacrificing himself for us, would he?

We walked and walked every time going further and further into the forest, trying to find for some place where we could hide. I think we got lost but we didn't hear those beasts anymore and it was kind of relieving. We saw a small cabana and we stepped in, looking inside it was pretty obvious this had been abandoned for many years now.

Takao closed the door and placed the table against it to use as a forte, but if they were to come that thing wouldn't last long and we both knew. He sat on the floor and here is where he finally broke down crying. I kneeled besides him and I hugged him tightly and he clung to me, sobbing on my shoulder like a small baby. No one saying a word, it would only worsen the situation. He clung to me for dear life and I rubbed his back in a soothing way. He ended up falling slept in my arms and I carried him to the old bed. I sat on the edge and I started to fear for our safety. This all was my entire fault. I shouldn't have been born.

o0o

When Midorima couldn't see them anymore he started to run in the opposite direction. He took his bandage off and sank his claws in it. He let the blood drip from his arm and heard the beasts howling every time more and more near. This was for the best, that's what he said to himself over and over. He will sacrifice his life for Takao, because that converted was his whole life and he will go to the end of the world if it meant that will save the black haired man. And he was proud that he had acted like a real grown up back there. It had made things easier that way. But he feared that he wouldn't be able to keep the promise. He wasn't so sure that he would survive this one.

He was starting to lose stamina and his speed was decreasing highly. The beasts were already at his heels, the massive loss of blood didn't help him one bit and it happened what was going to happen, the beast finally caught up with him. It lunged at him making him stumble and lose balance, he fell to the floor.

The creature hissed at him and the others came near. They bit him by his limbs to immobilize him. Midorima hissed in pain. Soon a man appeared from behind the shadows. Midorima had expected that the creatures would main him but they just stood there waiting. The man kneeled in front of him and looked at his face. This man was taller than him and had a strong aura around him, but what surprised him was the resemblance he had with him. It can't be. She didn't mention any father… It can't be. Is this you father….?

Clicking his tongue in annoyance "Where is the blond?" the man asked slowly and calmly looking around to see no one.

Coming back to his senses green eyes narrowed "Like I would tell you" Midorima retorted.

The man sighed loudly and clicked his fingers together, at that sound the creatures' teeth pierced deep into his flesh. Midorima cried out and bit his bottom lip to maintain his mouth shut. He thought those beasts were going to rip apart his limbs.

Now standing and kicking a rock "So, where is him?" the man asked again not losing his composure.

Midorima couldn't understand why they were so fixed on catching Kise "Why do you want to know?"

The man narrowed his eyes and with a serious tone he spoke "I have to destroy that monster"

Green orbs widened "What are you talking about? Why would you want to destroy him when you want to take him back to the labs?" Midorima was confused now.

The man sighed heavily "I was the one in charge of that kid when he appeared. I was the one whom did all the experiments on him and I know of what he is capable of and before he goes berserk I will destroyed it. Creatures like him shouldn't exist, we shouldn't have played to be gods" the man declared.

The man wasn't making any sense "But the others want him alive?!"

"I know and that is why I'm here, so they can't get a hold of him" the man explained.

"But won't they kill you?" Midorima asked confused.

"Well, at least I would free this world from that monster" he stated, but he could see an ounce of remorse on those tired eyes.

"Kise isn't a monster, stop saying that" Midorima glared at him.

The man smirked "If you knew his true nature you will side with me. That thing isn't normal, he should had never been born" his eyes hardened, but it didn't seem he was looking at Midorima at that moment.

Midorima shook his head "I will never do such a thing!"

The man sighed and rubbed his temples tiredly because this conversation was going nowhere when he was about to click his finger another man appeared behind him and grabbed his wrist. This one turned and swatted his hand away.

Midorima was frozen that second man was a copy of Kise, so that's what the papers talked about but the gaze of that one was hollow and cold. He almost looked like Kise. Everything was a perfect copy, almost everything but the way that man walked and talked and gestured made it evident he wasn't Kise.

Turning around to face the copy "Have you found the real?" the man asked with an edgy tone.

The Kise alike shook his head and clicked his tongue "Not yet but I feel a tiny bit presence of him"

"I see" the man sighed and looked at Midorima "Well, I don't think you would be able to catch up with us, so we will let you here and we are going for that monster" he turned back.

He clicked his fingers and this time those beasts let Midorima free, he wanted to stand up and attack them but his legs wouldn't compel. He had no strength left. That Kise looked down at Midorima with a dark smirk and he felt his insides twisting violently, he lowered and whispered.

"I'm going to kill that blond and I will be the only one left" he sneered and then his eyes glowed with some emotion Midorima had ever seen.

The green haired glared at him "You won't be able to do anything"

He snorted "And who will stop me, your convert?"

"If you hurt him, I swear I will kill you" Midorima snapped showing his fangs to make his point cross.

"Like if you could" he retorted laughing at how pathetic Midorima looked trying to look defying when he was laying on the ground without a response of his limbs.

And before Midorima could give any response that Kise pierced his chest viciously, Midorima gasped and spat blood. His eyes started to blurry and no matter how hard he tried to focus his gaze, he couldn't and soon he blacked out.

I was still sitting on the edge of the bed with an unconsciousness Takao lying on the bed and breathing calmly. I stared blankly at the wall in front of me and I felt someone rubbing my hair. I sighed tiredly and I stood from there to get away. By now I was used to see those hallucinations, I wasn't startled by the fact if not I just accepted them.

Not even looking at him "I know you are a hallucination" I said sighing tiredly.

He smirked "How sad and I was so happy to see you going crazy over me"

I sighed loudly and rubbed my forehead tiredly "Aominecchi, why are you appearing in front of me? Why I only have hallucinations of you?" I said exasperated.

He shrugged with an uninterested expression "Don't ask me, ask yourself, after all, you are the one whom create me"

I rubbed my hair and let my hands fall at each of my sides "Why? I don't understand it" I shook my head.

Aomine sighed heavily and rubbed the back of his neck with a troubled expression "Look, Kise, it's pretty simple, I might said you just created me to avoid going berserk"

My eyes went wide and for the first time I dared to face him "G-going berserk? What are you talking about?" I asked warily.

He let out a heavy sigh and shrugged "Like I told you I don't know myself, this is something that is deep inside of you, you have voids in your memory, right?" he said smirking.

I bit my bottom lip turning my face "How do you know that?"

He laughed "Kise, I'm created by your mind what it means in the end you are having a conversation with yourself"

Pulling my hair back in desperation "Then why don't you give me answers" I demanded.

"Because you don't have them" he responded shaking his head.

I turned around giving him the back and I went to look out the window with a troubled look and letting out a tired sigh I came to realize that this conversation was getting me nowhere, because if it was like having a conversation with myself and I didn't have any answers then it was fruitless and stupid. This was really tiring. I didn't understand a thing. I was growing more and more confused and I was feeling a massive headache growing. What am I going to do? What is going to happen with Takaocchi? What is going to happen to me…?

The forest was really calm and that unnerved me. Like they say the calm before the storm. This is how I felt, and this unsettling feeling was just growing bigger and bigger. I walked towards the bed in which Takao laid and Aomine was sitting with a bore expression. This time he didn't go. He stayed there. I shook Takao lightly as to awake him. I had a bad feeling and I wanted to get out of this house like right now. He opened his eyes and looked at me. I offered him a smile and he tried, I know, he really tried but not knowing where Midorima was or if he even was… I shook my head. He is alive!

With a soft expression and brushing his bangs aside "Takaocchi, we have to leave. I have a bad feeling" I said softly.

He nodded and sat on the bed stretching his arms "Yeah, let's get out of here and try to go some near town"

We exited the cabana and my feeling was confirmed when we saw two men and a lot of beasts with them. One of the men was an exact copy of me. It was like looking at my reflection on a mirror. Takao looked from him to me, really surprised and shocked. And the other man had something familiar, almost nostalgic, but I wasn't able to remember or maybe I was just feeling that way because they just looked so alike, like father and son.

Dark blue orbs landed on me "My, my, I finally found you. My creation" he said in a dark tone and stepped forward "You could call me your real father, more or less"

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked cagy, stepping back.

His face was surprised for a brief moment "Oh, you don't remember" he responded "Well, when you were a kid I was in charge of you and I came to end what I started" he explained with a smile that wasn't kind at all.

I shook my head "Like hell I would let you keep experimenting with me" I snapped.

He smirked darkly and shook his head slowly "Experiment? Oh, no, you got it wrong. I want to kill you" he stated with a serene tone.

Kill me? But I thought they wanted to… I was brought back to reality by my hallucination, ironic, isn't it? Aomine shook me and I turned to face him, he seemed worried. Was it my survival' side telling me that we were in danger?

Shaking me by my shoulder "Kise, snap out of it and get your ass moving" Aomine growled.

I looked at him dumfounded and then at Takao "We have to get out of here"

He nodded "I second that"

My copy stepped forward "Not so fast" he growled with a sneer.

Takao and I ignored him and we started to run out of there, to our surprise only the copy was following us. The beasts had stayed there with that man. But if they are here that only could mean that Midorimacchi is…. I tilted my head to look at Takao. His eyes reflected all his pain and sadness but his features didn't let anything visible. He was thinking the same as me. I'm sorry, Takaocchi, this is my fault.

And then through the corner of my eye I saw a glimpse of gold. Out of instinct I pushed Takao and he yelped and then the copy lunged at me with a triumphant smirk. I gave Takao a last glance and then I felt my heart being pierced by sharp claws. I looked down to see my chest hollow and him holding my heart in his hand but… I'm still alive, how is that possible…? And my heart keeps beating…? But that sensation was something that I already knew well, this void. I felt like I was surrounded by darkness, like if I was alone, isolated from the world. Alone in an ocean of darkness, submerged somewhere…

I shook my head and I pushed him away. He looked as surprised as Takao and without a second thought I lunged at him and I started to pierce his body viciously. He hissed in pain and the beasts appeared growling at us. I stood and I threw him at the ground in front of the beats. I turned to look at the beasts and I growled at them and these ones stepped backward as in fear, the man reappeared and his face showed horror.

His eyes were wide open and he was looking at me as if something had gone really wrong "What have you done, you stupid copy!?" the man yelled now looking at the other me.

This one seemed baffled by the events "I was trying to kill him but he didn't die, even thought he looks like dead, his eyes are lifeless and dull… He must be dead!" the copy tried to defend himself.

I stepped forward to attack them but I was held back by Aomine "Aominecchi, what are you doing, let me end this here and now"

He shook his head and softly he spoke "This isn't like you, Kise"

The man chimed in "Y-you are having hallucinations?" something seemed to pass through his mind when he looked concerned about me for a fleet moment.

I glared at him "None of your business" I spat.

He stepped backwards and looked at my copy pulling him up on his two foot "Let's get out of here" the copy was about to retort when he yelled furiously "NOW!" they seemed to be on a hurry to get out of there, but we brushed it aside.

Takao stepped forward and looked at me with wide eyes, his eyes focused on my chest. I looked at him not understanding what was so wrong. He lifted his hand and was about to touch my open chest but he thought it better, he looked at my eyes and I swear I saw him shivering and trembling in fear. And that was something I couldn't understand, the bad guys were already gone. I was on his side why did I earn such an expression from him.

Turning his eyes away "Kise, let's get out of here" he said softly "But before" he took his shirt off and offered it to me "Put this on or the people will look odd at us, after all it isn't normal to have a hole on your chest"

I nodded and I took his shirt "Thanks, take mine"

We exchanged shirts and walked towards the most near town we could find. I felt different, better say I didn't feel anything. It was like I was hollow, like I couldn't feel a thing. I was sure this from my chest must hurt like a bitch but I wasn't feeling any pain. I realized too I had acted really violent back there. I was ready to take his life and I didn't feel any kind of remorse. What's wrong with me? Did I lose it?

Now what will happen to Kise? Nothing is going as planned and who is the man that had just appeared? Now Takao and Kise will continue on his own, but next chapter we will be back to the castle to see how they are doing : )
