Kuroko watched the accumulated black shadows helplessly, as they thrust sharp objects such as blades into the human's flesh with joy. He was screaming in pain and for help as they laughed. No mercy was given to the man excruciating man.

The man who was lying in his own pool of blood stopped breathing due to the cuts they made. He was atrociously wounded, his mouth were torn open, eyes brutally gouged out, intestines ripped out.

The pale boy stared at the severely injured man in horror. The shadows' piceous hands were coated with thick dark red liquid of metallic odor.

This is madness..

He wanted to stop them, but could not. He once tried, they nearly 'killed' him. After they left scars on his body, he collapsed. Then he remembered and was 'traumatized' by that time, he did not intervened anymore.

He is always wondering why they held him back. He cannot kill a single person, he is weak and powerless. He wants to elude, he could not bear to see people in agony any longer.

I don't understand shadows. Yet, I am a shadow.

"Kuroko, it's time to go." He reluctantly nodded. The shadows vanished before him. He reverted and contemplated the corpse.

I'm sorry.. I couldn't do anything.

Kuroko kept a distance away from the shadows as they buried the corpse into a hole. Frantic laughters permeated his ears. He attempted to veil his ears and eyes but it was futile. He could not resist to look nor to hear. Everything was alluring to him.

I don't want to see..

I don't want to hear..

It frustrates me

I couldn't protect anyone

I hate that

The pale boy tilted his head upwards. "What if.." He scrutinized his hind where shadows were. "I escape?"

But I'm afraid

They will slaughter me as soon as they catch me.

And I can't fight them back unless I possess any power or strength.

But..

I believe

I can refrain from being apprehended

His thoughts conquered his fears and determined him. He ambled soundlessly along the silent mist.

I want to forget.. Everything


The pale boy ceased in a city. "What is this place?" he roved around a city. "This is a peculiar place." He stated. Since he had been with the shadows and scarcely sees outdoor appearance, places except darkness are anomalous to him.

"Why are you here in the middle of the night?" A calm voice asserted. A heterochromatic boy stood on his rear. Kuroko turned his direction to the redhead and stared at him long enough before he replied.

"I do not know."

The heterochromatic eyes contemplated the pale boy.

He has low presence..

His appearance was rather eccentric, his skin was pale and his eyes, they looked at me blankly like a cadaverous person.

According to his attire, his shirt was disheveled and lacerated, also stained with dark red liquid. He noticed those torn areas exposed scars, acutely scars. He conceived it was coherent due to parents' abuse.

Is he abandoned?

"Come." He demanded. He promptly nodded and obeyed him. The redhead was quite astounded how he could trust a person with whom he has no personal acquaintance with. He has not even known his name nor him knew his. "You will follow me."

He held his hand as they walked, when he perceived his hand was exceedingly algid, he apprehended something was inexact.

"Who are you?" Was the only words that came from the pale boy's mouth.

The heterochromatic boy smirked. "I am Akashi Seijuuro and my orders are absolute."


As Kuroko and Akashi arrived at the door of Akashi's mansion, the door was opened by maids. "Welcome back, young master." They bowed. A maid gestured her master into his room while the pale boy was following. "Please bring some spare clothes."

The maid was puzzled, since it is rare for him unless he has a companion. Actually, she could not see the boy. "May I ask who is it for?"

"Do not question and do as I told you to."

"I'm truly sorry, I will send them here, right away!" She bowed down and left the room.

Kuroko furrowed his eyebrows.

Why can't they see me?

Akashi comprehended his thoughts by seeing his expression. "Your presence is merely low." The pale boy blinked at him. "If you are wondering why, there is a reason. My eyes cannot deceive me."

"Take off your shirt."

As his clothes got off from his body, heterochromatic eyes dilated in astonish.

What kind of parents are they? Don't they sympathize him?

His eyes scrutinized on the acute scars and bruises on his body. It is a relief that the blood has stopped, but the scars. Someone would have died experiencing those scars. It is absurd, for him to survive with his weak body.

He dabbed the cream he brought on each scar as his fingers touched the rough surface of the scar.

It's deeper than I thought

After applying the medicine, the teal haired boy was wrapped with bandages all over his chest.

"Where are your parents?"

The pale boy simply answered. "I don't have any parent."

"Were you abandoned?"

He shook his head. "No."

Did he forget about his past?

"What is your name?"

"Kuroko Tetsuya."

Perhaps, I should save the other questions for later. I deem his memories are now blurry to him.

"Alright, change your clothes and get some rest."

The heterechromatic boy stood behind the opened door. "And, you will be coming with me to Teikou school tomorrow, that is an order, Tetsuya."

As soon as the door was closed, Kuroko tilted his head in confusion.

Weird..

He clasped the white night robe and rubbed it against his cheek.

What an odd person..

The pale boy laid on the bed as he gazed upon the crescent moon.

They won't come and find me, will they?

And that

something is still bothering me.. Why didn't they abandon me?

Maybe I should forget.. Since it does not matter anymore

Because I've been adopted, haven't I?

By Akashi


"Kuroko Tetsuya."

That voice!

"Do you realize what you have done? By parting from us, you have already offended us."

"W-what do you want?

"Perhaps you still do not know."

I don't know?

"Kuroko, return home."

That is not I call home

"No."

"Do you not comprehend? You will not be accepted when they discovered that you are a shadow. There will be no home for you."

Stop it!

The firmament was slate, imminent daylight has not arrive. Akashi ensconced on an armchair as he looked at the sleeping boy. "Tetsuya."

A blank blue eyes fluttered sleepily and directed his eyes to meet the heterochromatic eyes. "Akashi-kun."

"Tetsuya, you did not sleep well." The boy nictated in surprise at the him. "Are you still exhausted? Do you want me to postpone your entry for school to tomorrow?"

A familiar voice rings in his head.

There will be no home for you.

He widened his eyes and shouted. "No! N-no, I'm fine, Akashi-kun. I can go!"

I don't want to be alone

"You need not force yourself, Tetsuya."

"Uhh.." The teal haired boy closed his eyes as his lips trembled. Of course, his expression was audible to the redhead.

"Very well, wear your uniform, I will be waiting outside."

What could he be hiding from me?


As time passed by and the sun rose high, Akashi was perplexed, considering the pale boy has not left the room. He elected to enter the room.

Kuroko was wearing his uniform dowdily. A brief glance could perceive that he promptly wore the long white sleeves that was still buttoned. The redhead chuckled. "Tetsuya, that is not the way how you wear that."

The pale boy stumbled clumsily and fell on the bed as he heard his intimation. "Mmff?"

"You were supposed to unbutton them before wearing." The redhead loosened the first button letting his head out.

"Oh." He smiled sheepishly.

"Shall we get going?"

"Yes."

I must forget the dreadful past and live a new life. I will fake myself as a human. That way, Akashi-kun won't know that I'm a shadow and he will accept me, won't he?
