I do not own Kuroko no Basuke nor any of the characters(except for my Ocs)

A few weeks passed by faster than expected. Her debut was released, she got slightly popular in a blink and the basketball club members grew fond of their new manager. Maybe a bit too much though. If Luet didn't show up in the gym for lunch, one of the boys would go to get her, not caring about her wants. But that wasn't even a bad/annoying thing to her. Daily pecks on the cheeks from Moriyama and hugs were a usual matter but much more annoying since it happened in public and others started to gossip about her.

Sob Sob

Kasamatsu could hear faint noises from inside the gym.

Sob Sob

As he came closer, the noises became louder and louder, revealing that it was a crying girl.

Sob Sob

Soon he was in front of the closed door. He hesitated in opening the it because he didn't want to frighten the crying girl.

Sob Sob

The boy couldn't take it anymore. A girl was crying and he didn't help her. Slowly he opened the door, revealing the identity of her. Luet. She was facing a wall at the other end of the gym.

Sob Sob

Why was she crying? What had happened to her? Kasamatsu didn't know what was wrong with her but he wanted to know it desperately.

Sob Sob

Slowly and quietly he walked towards her crouched body. She didn't seem to notice him though.

Sob Sob

Lightly he brushed her shoulder with his hand and instantly, a loud scream emerged from her throat. With her red and puffy eyes, she looked at the boy who had just found her. A glint of fear was recognizable.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Kasamatsu knelt down in front of her. "What's wrong? What happened?"

She shook her head slightly, wiping away her tears. "N…nothing. Don't mind me."

"Don't give me that crap. Something's gotta be wrong if you're crying." He placed his left hand on her head but that caused her to cry even more. Quickly the girl pressed her face into his chest, clawing onto his shirt. His right hand constantly slid up and down her back in order to calm her down for good, but in the end he didn't know what to do about this situation at all. She was crying and he didn't know why, yet he wanted to know the reason.

"Talk to me Luet-san. I won't be able to help you if you don't tell me what's wrong. I've gotta leave soon." He spoke softly since he didn't want to upset her more than it was necessary. The girls delicate fingers clutched into his shirt, which was soaking up her tears and her steady trembling was easily noticeable to him.

"Please don't leave me alone…" Faintly she whispered those words but her senpai was able to hear it.

"I will escort you home if it's that bad but let's go now." Slowly both of them got up, yet Luet didn't let go of the boy. She didn't want to be alone. She was desperate.

"But I'll be alone there…" Still whispering but a little bit louder than before, she responded.

"I have to go home once in a while though. I can't stay with you 24/7 you know?"

"Please stay with me tonight. I don't wanna be alone…" She whined out in the middle of one of her sobs. Kasamatsu felt awfully sorry, even though he didn't know her reason for being that upset.

"A-alright but only if you tell me what's wrong. And we've gotta stop by my home and get some clothes to change into for tomorrow."

Lightly the girl nodded in agreement, letting go of him and looking down as the two of them walked out of the gym. She felt safe with Yukio around but there was still a possibility for this man to be there. "Senpai? Can I hold onto your hand? I'm scared…" It felt like a lump was forming in her throat, trying to keep her from speaking out this sentence but she managed it.

"S-sure…if…you w-want to…" Stuttering he said that, since he was still slightly uncomfortable with her around, well he was even more uncomfortable with other girls, but in the end she was the only girl he had to talk to often. Her hand entwined with his. 'Damn I didn't expect something like that. It's embarrassing. Somehow it's nice though….Maybe I could hold her close…. Shit I shouldn't even think something like that!' Furiously he shook his head.

"What's wrong senpai…?" His behaviour confused her. Why did he just shake his head so furiously? Not like it mattered to her at that time though. She was way too busy, thinking of the thing she feared so badly. The one thing, that had scared her so unbelievable much only a few minutes before. It. He.

"N-Nothing." Soon enough, they reached Yukios home. It was bigger than the girl had imagined. Much bigger. They entered it and were greeted by his cooking mother.

"Welcome home Yukio." Just then she realized the girl beside her son. "Oh it's nice to meet you dear. Yukio you got yourself quite a cute girlfriend there. Wait, aren't you the up-coming idol who released her debut song just a few days ago?!" Luets and Yukios faces flushed at the thought of being called lovers.

"Ah… yes ma'am…my name is Vaska Luet…but I'm not Kasamatsu-senpais girlfriend…" 'Awkward…' Her thought described their situation almost perfectly.

"But why are you holding hands then?" The woman pointed towards their entwined hands and abruptly they let go of each other.

"Mom… she's just the manager of the basketball club…well we'll be gone in a few minutes anyways…" And with that he pulled the girl towards his room.

"BUT WHAT ABOUT DINNER?!" His mother yelled after them.

"Sorry mom!" A door was slammed shut. The two teenagers were in Kasamatsus room. It was quite large and a bed was on the far left side of it. A few guitars were placed next to a white table, a closet on the far right and a few posters placed on the walls but except for that, it was rather empty.

"Woa your room looks nice, senpai." The girl looked around curiously.

"T-thanks, I guess… Take a seat while I get some clothes." Yukio was looking through his clothes, in search of some outfit and something to sleep in. He still couldn't get to like the idea of sleeping over at her home. Alone with a girl, but not just some random girl, it had to be the manager of the basketball club and the first one to kiss him. Uneasiness overcame him. "You're gonna tell me what happened when we're at your place, right?"

Luet had sat down on his bed eventually. "Y-yea… I suppose so…after all I agreed on telling you. Sorry for making you stay with me…"

"It's alright. You didn't force me after all. It was my own decision." The boy placed some clothes into his bag and turned towards the girl. "Well I'm done. Let's go."

"Okay senpai." The two of them left his place once again and walked towards Luets apartment. It wasn't very far away and because of that, they reached their destination within a few minutes.

"I didn't know that you lived so close by." Kasamatsu surely was amazed by the sight of the skyscraper she was living in. It was huge. Too huge in his opinion. "In which storey do you live?"

"Tenth storey. But there is an elevator for people who don't want to use the stairs. Wanna use it?" Calmly she typed the code into the lock, to get into the building.

"I guess so… the tenth storey is quite high, isn't it?"

"Probably… I'm used to it, so it's not high for me." The two of them went inside and walked towards the elevator, which was set up at the end of a long hallway. They waited for it to arrive on the ground floor. An awkward silence surrounded them as they entered the open elevator. The two of them just didn't know what to talk about in their weird situation.

Ding! First Floor

Awkward silence

Ding! Second Floor

Awkward silence

Ding! Third Floor

Awkward silence

Ding! Fourth Floor

Awkward silence

Ding! Fifth Floor

Still an awkward silence

Ding! Sixth Floor

Another person entered the elevator, a grown up man.

Ding! Seventh Floor

Luet seemed to know the man, but she wasn't too happy to see him there. She hid behind Kasamatsu , pressing her face into his back.

Ding! Eighth Floor

Yukio didn't know what it was but something was definitely wrong. He didn't shake her off.

Ding! Ninth Floor

The man noticed the girl who hid behind her friend. A smile sneaked on his face.

Ding! Tenth Floor

The two teenagers exited the elevator together and the man stayed behind, still smiling. They went towards a door and Luet typed in a code once again. The door opened abruptly and they entered the apartment.

"I'll prepare dinner…"

"Okay can I help you somehow?"

"I'll be fine on my own but I'm gonna call you if I need help."

"Sure." Slightly amazed, Kasmatsu looked around as Luet went into the kitchen. Such a huge apartment isn't something a student should live in completely alone. There's too much space. A whole family could live here. It was almost as large as his home, just that her apartment didn't have another storey.

'SHATTER'

Something fell down in the kitchen. Maybe some dishes, but Yukio wanted to make sure everything was alright. He went towards the kitchen, where he could see what had happened. A few pots and plates were on the floor, the plates broken though, probably they had fallen out of the highest shelf, which was open, and in the middle was a girl, kneeling on the ground. She was picking up the shards with her bare hands, as light drops of blood were running down her fingers.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Her senpai pulled her away from the shards and removed the ones she had in her hand.

"Ah… Sorry senpai… What's wrong?" Innocently she looked at him.

"You've just cut open your fingers! That's wrong!"

"Huh?" Surprised the girl looked at her fingers. "Oh I didn't notice it. My bad."

"Are you always like that when you're at home? Never knew you were such an airhead."

"Eh? I'm not an airhead. Just a bit absent-minded, I guess."

"Well go and take care of your cuts. I'll clean up this mess."

"But…"

"No but! Don't talk back to when your senpai gives you an order!"

"We're not in school right now, you know?"

"Just do as you're told to and when you're done, come back. You still gotta tell me what happened earlier."

"Alright…Alright…" And with that she left, sighing and walking in the direction of the bathroom to take care of her fingers.

After about 15 minutes, the girl came back with her fingers bandaged. Almost all of them were covered since most of them had been cut open. When she entered the kitchen, she saw something astonishing. Her senpai was cooking their dinner even though he was at her home and not his own.

"Kasamatsu-senpai, why are you cooking dinner? Shouldn't I be the one who makes is, considering that we're at my place." Slowly she approached him.

"Well you're injured so I thought it would be fine. It is, isn't it?" A gently smile was on his face as he looked at her.

"Ah yes… thank you senpai. I couldn't even have asked for that much."

When the food was done, they sat down together and ate in silence but suddenly the boy, located in front of Luet, looked up and his intense gaze met with the sad looking orbs of hers.

"Now tell me what happened in the gym. I didn't forget about it and it worries me."

"Well…. I d-don't know how to explain it…" Her voice was shaky and weak, almost on the verge of crying. "When I was cleaning up the gym… A man entered…He didn't notice me, I think….but I recognized him immediately… It was him… and he was searching something…I don't know what…but he found my bag… and opened it….he rummaged through it… and… found my cellphone… and there's evidence of who I really am on it… and a picture of my current appearance… now he knows I'm alive…. And he took my phone…"

Awfully confused Kasamatsu looked at the girl in front of him. "Who is he and what do you mean by who you really are?" Who are you?"

"I guess I gotta tell you the whole story. He is… an old friend of my father. After I turned into an idol he started to stalk me, sent me thousands of love letters and flowers, even moved to Japan but I rejected him. He was way too old and I wasn't interested in love. After a while he started to be more forceful and tried to kidnap me but my manager protected me. Yet… my manager died in that incident and I was severely injured, on the verge of death. Like you can see, I survived but they faked my death in order to protect me and sent me back to Germany. After 6months I was allowed to come back but I had to change my identity. I turned into the girl you know now… Back then I was known as Mei Black. That's why Ryota calls me Mei all the time. He knew the real me."

"So you deceived us all the time?"

"I suppose so… but I had to in order to be safe."

"Now he knows that you're alive though. What will you do?"

"I don't know yet but I ought to tell my current manager about it. I just hope that he doesn't send me back to Germany. I want to stay with all of you. Haha I wasn't even supposed to tell you about all of this senpai." She forced a smile.

"But I'm glad that you told me. Now I can understand why you were so scared. I will protect you."

"Thank you senpai but I can't let you do that. You might be hurt by him."

"I don't mind."

The girl laughed lightly. "You're too nice Kasamatsu-senpai. Most people would get away from me after they get to know my secret. Well I think I'm going to clean up the kitchen now. I don't feel like talking about this topic anymore. It makes me emotional." She stood up, took her plate which wasn't even empty and walked towards the kitchen.

It was past 9pm as the girl had finished the chores and her senpai was watching TV in the living room. Sleepily she went into the living room and sat next to Kasamatsu.

"What are you watching?"

"Just some show. I forgot the name though."

"I see."

After a few minutes Kasamatsu could feel something on his shoulder. Luet had fallen asleep and her head was resting on him. The boy sighed, lifted her up, carried her into her bedroom and placed her on her bed.

"Good night Luet." He retreated into the living room and soon fell asleep.

I'm always happy about reviews and critics. If there's anything you want to point out, please do so.

I felt like trying something else this time but it took a long time for me to write this chapter since I'm a lazyass.

For some reason I feel like this one is kinda weird.
