______________________________________

It was a day before their final tour ends. It was hard for Kagami to focus on his work after seeing Kuroko struggling so much yesterday. It was a huge blow for him. He knows Kuroko has been strong all these years but to see her like that has broke his heart. He sighed as he tightens the strings on his bass guitar.

.

.

She shook her head, "If…I …don't write…what…I wan…ted...to…write…what…I…have…in…my…heart…I…will…regret…it." she held onto the black marker tightly as she continued writing.

Kuroko looked at Midorima, her sapphires glistened with tears, "It's…my…proof…of…life…"

.

.

Nijimura who noticed the taller man looking all gloomy, he tapped the bassist shoulder, “Kagami, just a few more hours alright? And then, you can have the rest of the day, off.” He smiled. Kagami nodded, “Thanks, Boss.” Then he looked at his guitar. The uneasiness in his heart was getting heavier.

“Kagami, we’re starting!” the stage director broke his train of thoughts. Everyone was looking at him. He quickly regains his composure, “Yeah, sure thing.” He shifts the guitar bass in his hands properly, waiting for signal to start the rehearsal.

He took a deep breath as Murasakibara gave the first beat to the song.

‘Tetsu…’

…

It was early in the morning at 7.20, when he was about to end his shift for the day until a nurse rushed to his office. He cancelled his entire plan for the day as soon as he received words of his patient won’t wake. To his fear, the fever that Kuroko should have gotten three days ago has finally caught up.

Midorima watched his patient heaves heavily as droplet of sweats runs down her neckline. Shades of red painted across her flushed cheeks. Her eyes shut close as her face scrunched in pain. The cool compress on her forehead was change by the nurses a few hours ago, and all of its coolness gone down the drain, replaced by heats.

He replaced the cool compress on the bluenette’s forehead. Her eyelids flutters open, revealing a pair of sapphire eyes, glistened with fever, “Doc…tor…?” she croaked as she looks to the side where Midorima standing. The doctor tucked strands of blue locks behind her ears. He smiled, “How are you feeling?”

“What…hap…penned...?” she tries pushing herself up before falling back onto the bed. Gently, Midorima helped her up and stuffed a pillow behind her. Then, he gave her a cup of water as she sipped slowly through the straw he prepared, “You’re having a fever. You’re lucky, that the nurses checked on you else it could have gotten worst.”

Her glazed sapphires stares at the cup, then to her nightstand where the music sheets were properly arrange on it. Midorima puts away the glass then returning his gaze to the bluenette who was struggling to reach for the sheets, “Kuroko, I think you should rest for the time being.” She reached the sheets then, she shook her head.

“Just…a…little…bit…more…doc…tor…if…I …waste…any…more…time…I …might…not…make…it…” she opens the music book then grab the black marker. Knowing the bluenette stubbornness all too well, the doctor sighed, “Alright, but I will stay here and watch over you.” He sat down on his seat as his emerald eyes followed her movements.

He knows how desperate she was to finish what she has started. Nothing he can do to stop her at her track.

Kagami grabbed his bag pack as soon as the rehearsal ends for the day, “Where ya heading?” Hibiki asked after changing his attires. The taller man halt at the door, “To Tetsu, the doctor called me a bit ago saying the fever has finally caught up.” He frowned. Everyone else who was getting their things looked at the bassist and Mayuzumi the one who finally spoke up, “I’ll go with you.” He grabbed his bags.

Hibiki chuckles slightly at his old friend newfound fondness towards his younger sister. He turns to where the vocalist of his band was sitting, “Nana-chan, we’re going to visit Tsuki-chan, wanna tag along?” without second thought, the vocalist nodded as she quickly stuffed her things into her handbag, “Sure thing!”

“Wait, Kagami-chii, we’re coming too!” the blonde quickly grabbed his bag in a hurry, followed by the other two of the Generation of Miracles. Kagami blinks, “Are you guys sure? I’m sure you have other things to do.” Kise shook his head, “Nu uh, sure we have things to do, but I wanna visit Kuroko-chii even if it’s for a few minutes. I’m sure that goes the same with the other guys.” The others nodded.

Nana tied her hair into a ponytail, “You worry too much, Kaga-chan. Let us worry about it ourselves but for now, let’s go see Tsuki-chan but first we must stop at that bakery we saw earlier! I bet it has pastries that, Tsuki-chan would love to have and to be honest, I’m a little hungry.” she puts an apologetic smiled the moment her stomach lets out a soft growl.

Mayuzumi was the first to exit the door, “There you have it. The monster needs something to eat and her stomach says it all.”

Pink blush spread across the vocalist cheeks, “CHI-CHAN! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH A JERK!!” Nana chased after the bassist, followed by Kise and the others as Kagami watched them left the changing room one by one. Hibiki pats him on the shoulder, “What d’ya say?”

Kagami chuckled, “Tetsu’s lucky to have ya guys.” He admits defeat at the stubbornness of his friends. Hibiki grabbed his bag on the couch, “Just like, she’s lucky to have you, Kagami.” He smiled. The red head watched the back of the other bassist as he left the room. His shoulder fell slightly.

‘No matter how much I struggled for her, it’s not the same as how much you’ve struggled for her…’He shifts his bag pack on his shoulder as he closed the changing room door, ‘It’ll never be good enough…’

[You Are My Love – Yui Makino]

The sky roars as thunders flashed through it. The heavy downpour cools down the earth. Her fever still has not gone down fully but she felt better than she was earlier. Midorima insisted she should stay in bed but she at least wanted to leave the bed for a while.

She could hear the nurses rushing here and there down the hallway the moment the electricity gave out.  Her room turns dark and the only light that brightens the room was from the flashes of the thunders outside. She watched droplets of rain onto the blooming cherry blossom tree outside the window of her room. She shifts her sapphires to the gloomy dark sky.

‘The sky looks like those days again…’

.

.

[Sound of a gunshot]

Her eyes widen as splatters of crimson spreads across her vision. The sound of the microphone screeched into each of the dome speaker as it fell into the stage from the hands of her beloved. It was then, she saw Akashi’s eyes widens as he collapsed onto her.

“Sei…?” she manage to get herself up with the help of her friends but everything turns crimson when she looked at the person lays on top of her. Her hands trembles as she looked at her blood stained hands. On her, Akashi lays unconscious, his eyes shuts close. Bloods flowing from his gunshot wound on his chest.

“SEI!”

…

"Kuroko-chii, please you must hurry!" Kise came barging in as he pants lightly; he grabs the bluenette wrist and pulls her carefully out of the room towards to another room where everyone else is there looking all gloomy, "Kise-kun, what's wron—" her orbs widen as she heard a soft beep from the heart monitor machine near the bed. Her sapphire orbs slowly shifts from Kise to the man that lies on the bed.

"Kuroko-chii, please you must hurry!" Kise came barging in as he pants lightly; he grabs the bluenette wrist and pulls her carefully out of the room towards to another room where everyone else is there looking all gloomy, "Kise-kun, what's wron—" her orbs widen as she heard a soft beep from the heart monitor machine near the bed. Her sapphire orbs slowly shifts from Kise to the man that lies on the bed.

Akashi smiled the moment she sat on the bed next to him, "I have wished…to see you…again…" He then grunt at the sudden waves of pain, he could feel her hands trembling in his, he looked at her, "You've suffered…long enough…you continued to…suffered even after…we fix things… to the way it…was…" the sweats pours down none stop as the excruciating pain kept coming, he caressed her cheeks.

"I'm sorry…for taking so long…to return to your…side" he then suddenly bucked over as he coughed out bloods. The others who were standing by the side quickly went to get the nurses. "Please, I'm begging you. Stop talking. You'll hurt yourself this way."

However, her pleas falls on deaf ears as he shook his head, trails of bloods fell from the corner of his mouth. "Your kindness…that guides me…throughout everything…please keep shines…everyone's path…with your songs…as it did…to me…" the surge of pain was beyond excruciating as his tears fell.

Akashi caressed her soft locks, he knew this would be the last time he felt the warmth that once saved him from the darkness, "Tetsuki…smile for me…" Kuroko struggles to find the strength to smile beneath those painful sorrows in her heart. Her tears kept pouring down as she smiled.

"Your dreams...are my dreams...your happiness is...my...happiness...I...love...you..." his voice began to fade.

"My …one…and …only…Tet...su..."

…

Her eyes widen at the sight of the gun pointed right in her direction. Her breathe hitched as she tries to move away but it was too late, “STOP!!!!" Haizaki jumped in front of her and took the bullet as it drills right into his chest. Everything in motion halt the moment she saw droplet of bloods fell into the ground from the silver haired man’s wounds.

Haizaki looked at her, then he cupped her cheeks with his blood stained hands. He smiled."I...don't think…I can…listen to your voice…anymore…" he coughed out bloods as his face scrunched in pain. He wheezed heavily as he kept smiling at her, "Stay…strong…" His hand fell onto the ground. His chest no longer heaving. His eyes shut close.

It was then, she realized. Everyone’s life is at risk just by being around her.

.

.

The light in her room turns back on, meaning the backup electricity was at work after the sudden blackout. She turns her wheelchair around as she wheeled herself towards the bed as she grabs the music sheets on the nightstand and the marker. Her sapphires caught sight of the silver ring on her finger as her eyes sadden.

.

.

"I'll propose to her soon." Akashi smiled before pushing Hibiki away.

"It's from Akashi…he wanted to propose to you after the concert but…he didn't make it…"

.

.

She sighed as she wheeled herself to the cabinets in front of her bed, where the flowers Haizaki gave her blooms beautifully. She grabs the water spray and sprays water on it. She smiled as the droplets of water gave the flowers a beautiful sight to one’s eyes.

Every day, she tries her best to keep the flowers alive. It has been months since the flowers was given to her and just like the flowers, she’s desperate to stay alive but she knows it’s out of her reach. The moment she was born into this world, her destiny was inevitable no matter how hard she tries.

She knows that her time is running out. She can feel it. Every night she was too terrified to close her eyes. One day, she will not be able to open them again. One day, she will not be able to see her friends again. One day, she will die without knowing she did.

‘Death is scary…’

…

She was about to focus on the music sheets until she heard the nurses outside her room, “Did you know about Doctor Midorima got fired a few days ago?” she wheeled her chair towards the door. Another nurse sounded surprised, “Eh? Why?”

“Apparently, he breached the hospital protocol, wasn’t sure what it was but I’m pretty sure the patient in room 122 has played some part in it. Ever since she admits into the hospital, the doctor turns obsessed in finding the cure for her.”

The other nurse disagrees with her, “Doctor Midorima has always been passionate in what he’s doing. I don’t think you should be blaming the patient. Still, poor doctor, he is a great doctor. You don’t find doctors like him around.”

“Well, the Director was kind enough to let him stay for a couple more weeks to watch over her. She’s dying, ya know?” The conversation slowly fades away as the nurses left the hall. The marker fell from her grip as it rolls on the floor. Her sapphires widen upon the conversation.

.

.

Midorima Shintaro smiled at her, "You shouldn't be out here for so long. You'll catch a cold." He draped the white cardigan that he grabbed from her room, onto her shoulder.

He nodded as he looked up into the blooming flowers, “Spring has finally come, huh? Time flew by without us noticing it." He sat on the bench nearby, "I can understand why you insisted to come out here. The flowers are beautiful when they're blooming." He leans back as he closes his eyes.

"You should rest for a while. You've been at this for hours, haven't you?" he tries to persuade her.

"It's okay to cry…" he gently strokes her locks.

.

.

The door to her room, slides open, “Kuroko, what are you doing at the door?” the familiar voice looked at her. Then, he noticed the marker on the floor. He bends down as he picked it up. He shifts his emerald eyes to the bluenette, “Kuroko?” he calls out to her again.

“Doc…tor…why…didn’t…you…tell…me…that…you…got…fired…be…cause…of…me?” she looked at him. Flashes of guilt appeared on her sapphires. Midorima was at lost of words as his eyes slightly widens.

“Why…didn’t…you…?” she repeats.

____________________

“KUROKO-CHII~~ we came to visit!” the vocalist slash keyboardist opens the door as he greets her happily. Beaming his sunny smile to her, the moment she shifts her gaze to them. He noticed the looks on the bluenette, somewhat lost. The look that, she only has on her face when she felt she lost her way.

“Why…are…you…here…? She watched them enters the room one by one. Aomine greeted her as he sat down on one of the couch, “Kagami’s been worried sick about you after Midorima told him, your fever finally came around.” On cue, the said man enters the room last, “Tetsu…”

Hibiki sat next to her on the bed as he rested his left palm on her forehead, “You should be resting, Tsuki-chan. Your fever hasn’t gone down, you should be resting.” He pulls his hands away, and then he eyed the music sheets on the table. His eyebrow knitted. He then, noticed Kuroko closed the music sheets with a book, hid it from their sight. He shifts his gaze to her, and then she looked away.

Nana pops up among the taller people in front of her. The vocalist smiled as she puts a white colored box on the table, “We bought you something! I’m sure you’ll love it!” she untie the ribbon as Mayuzumi and Murasakibara puts down the bag of plastic they brought along.

“TADA!” Her eyes widens at the sight of a snow-white vanilla flavored birthday cake. Nana sat down next to her, “We weren’t able to celebrate your birthday before, but today, we’ve decided no matter how hard you tried to push us away, we won’t leave.” She smiled warmly as she held the bluenette’s hands. Then, everyone gathers around her bed, “We know it’s a little bit late but it’s better than nothing. Happy Birthday, Kuroko-chii!” Kise grins at her, followed by everyone else.

Her lips trembles at the sincere sight of their smiles, her tears fell. She knew this would be the last time they would gather like this.

“Ari…ga…tou…min…na…”

…

The downpour has yet to stop as it rains into the night. The visitors’ hours were around the corner as they gather all the rubbish they made in the bluenette’s room, “Be sure to watch us tomorrow, Tsuki-chan!” Nana smiled at her before following Mayuzumi out of the room. 

“Bye bye, Tsuki-chin”Murasakibara gave her a soft pat on the head before he left, “See ya later, Tetsu.” Aomine followed suit after the giant drummist left the room, leaving the others behind as they head to throw away the rubbish.

“I guess time flew by real fast today.” He smiled at his beloved sister who has been silent throughout their visit, “Tsuki-chan, no matter how much you try to push us away, we will not leave you to die alone. We’re your family.” He hugged her, “My life became meaningful when I found you once again, thank you, Tsuki-chan, for coming back into my life again.” He hugged her tighter.

“You’re the greatest sister, a brother could ever ask for.” Reluctant, she returns the hug, ‘So are you…Nii-sama…’

Kagami’s heart clenched painfully as he watched the two blood siblings bonds together. Compare to Hibiki, he is only a stranger, an outsider to Kuroko’s life. Kise, who just came out of the bathroom, saw Kagami’s fist tightens as he follows the red head line of sight. He gave a firm grip to the taller man shoulder, “Kagami-chii.” He smiled, “Stop over thinking. It’s not good for you.” He whispered before walking towards the siblings.

“Minoru-chii, we should go before the nurses’ chase us out.” The latter nodded, “I’ll visit you after the concert ends. For now, have a good rest.” He kissed her warm forehead. His blue eyes softens, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He stood up, “Goodnight, Tsuki-chan.” He passed by Kagami who stand rotted near the door, “I’ll wait for ya guys downstairs with the others. Don’t take too long.”

Kise helped the bluenette to lie down on the bed as he pulls the blank. He ruffles her soft bangs gently as he smiled, "You’re the best partner and friend I ever had, Kuroko-chii. I’m lucky to have met you.” He grins, “I’ll make sure I won’t disappoint both you and Akashi-chii tomorrow! Goodnight, Kuroko-chii!” quickly he left the room, leaving Kagami alone with his sister.

Silence followed by as the rain outside pours even heavier than earlier. Kuroko stares outside the window, while Kagami stand rotted to the floor, could not find the words he wanted to say to her. His ruby eyes bore holes into the white floor.

“Thank…you…for…every…thing…Tai…ga.” It was soft but was loud enough for him to hear. He shifts his gaze from the floor to her back that was facing him, “Tetsu…”

He swallowed the heavy lump in his throat, “Goodnight, Tetsu…” quietly; he left the room with a heavy heart.

…

It was then; she began to buckle over the cough she has been hiding during her friends visit. She pants heavily, her lungs hurts, her throat hurts at each painful cough. She covered her mouth as she felt warm liquid on her palm. Her sapphire eyes widens in fear, the moment she saw the crimson liquid on her trembling hand.

She pushed herself up; she pulls the table closer to her. She opens the cap of the marker, and then she opens the book of the music sheets. Her trembling hands began writing down what she needs to. Slowly, it lost its pace.

Pearl of tears fell onto the music sheets; ‘Sei…I want to see you again…’ soft sobs broke the silence in the room.

No one knew how terrified she was.

No one.

“Alright guys today will be your last performance. So, give them everything you have!” Satsuki cheered to each of the band members in the studio.

The day finally arrived. It will be their final tour for the two albums released by both agencies, the RAKUZAN and the RENEGADE. A compilation collection of masterpieces created by Akashi Seijuro and Kuroko Tetsuki. The tour solely dedicated to the two of them.

Both members of the bands were busy putting their own attires with the help of their personal assistants especially for the concert. The roads towards the Tokyo Dome were close to avoid heavy traffics. The large flat screens all around the city and the dome were advertising the albums PVs for that afternoon concert. The lines became longer as the concert time grew closer as the seats in the dome became full as early as 10 a.m , three hours before the concert begins.

“Wow, it’s even more pack than our previous destinations.” Nana looked at the flat screen behind the stage where it shows each entrance lines, and the seats in the dome. Kise whistled, “Well, what can you say, this is the last destination for both albums.” He smiled, “Kuroko-chii and Akashi-chii will be proud of us.”

Upon hearing the names, Kagami frowned. The uneasiness was unsettling.  The whole week he felt this uneasiness and he couldn’t find the source of it. He hates it. He felt a tap on his shoulder, “Kagami-chii, ya ready?” he looks to his side where their new vocalist looked at him. Worried.

“Are you okay? You don’t look so good.” He pushed away the blonde’s hands from his shoulder, “Yeah, I’m fine. Just get this concert done and over with.” He looked at the screen of his phone. Then, he stuffed it into his pocket, ‘I gotta get a hold of myself. We’re doing this for Tetsu and Akashi, I can’t let them down.’

The raven-haired detective shifts uncomfortably in his seat as his fingers tap on the arms of the chair, waiting for the warrant to be approve. Police officers in the Japan Police Task Force headquarters eyed him curiously.

He sighed, ‘This is one of the reasons I hate waiting for a warrant in Japan. It takes forever.’ he threw his empty coffee can into the recycling bin nearby. Then, he looked at his wristwatch as he furrowed, “The longer it takes, the higher chance she’ll escape before we take actions…”

“Detective Himuro! Bring what you need to arrest her.” an officer calls out for him from the main office. The chief inspector waved the documents to him. Himuro quickly ran over and flipped through the documents. His frowned lifted upon seeing the – APPROVED seal on the request arrest warrant he sent earlier, “Thank you, Sir.” Another office approached him as he salute to the detective, “I will be your assistant in the arrest.”

Himuro looked at the paper that he worked so hard to get it through immediately, ‘Finally, it’s going to be over soon, Tsuki-chan.’

_________________

She looked outside the window where the rain finally stopped early this morning. A small smile curved upon seeing the beautiful sight of the cherry blossoms. Then, it fell immediately upon hearing the sound of something cracked. She looked around the room, searching for the source of the sound.

Then, her sapphire eyes widens upon noticing the flowers that was blooming in the vase yesterday, falling apart. Its petals falling onto the cabinet, then she frowned when she noticed the large crack on the white vase that Akashi once gave her before he passed away. The ominous signs have been happening all around here past few days. She couldn’t help but to feel uneasy.

‘What’s happening…?’

…

The door slides open, “Good morning, Kuroko.” Her doctor, Midorima Shintaro greeted her. Then, she noticed his eyebrows knitted when he noticed the perplexed look on her face, “What’s wrong?” he asked as he proceeds to check her health chart.

“I…want…to…visit…Sei’s…grave…” he furrowed as he shifts his gaze from the clipboard to the bluenette who looked at him, with such hope in her sapphire colored eyes. He focused back onto the clipboard, “You know I can’t do that, Kuroko. Your fever hasn’t gone down completely, you’re in no condition to be outside until you’re completely healed.” He flipped through the charts.

“Ple…ase…doc…tor...” he sighed as he puts down the clipboard. He looked at her, “Alright, but only today and that’s all. Just for an hour, not more than that, alright?” she nodded to the deal. The doctor immediately had the nurses helped the bluenette to change into a warmer clothing as he waits for her downstairs at the main entrance.

He lets out a long heavy sigh as he leans against the wall, ignoring the pity stares from the nurses and doctors that knew about him gotten fired from the hospital. No one in their right mind dares to breach the protocols but he did. One could tag him as a sore loser for doing so.

Then, several nurses were accompanying a patient on a wheelchair, passing by him. It reminds him of his teal haired patient, Kuroko Tetsuki.

.

.

He was doing his rounds to his patient room as he passed by two nurses that were in charge of looking after several of the patients on the floor. They were talking about something but as soon as they saw him, they quickly stopped talking about it as they gave a bow to him before leaving for the elevator.

He shook his head, ‘Nurses, can’t they do something else other than gossiping?’ he sighed as he stopped in front of the bluenette’s door. He slides it open but only to be caught surprise when his eyes immediately look at the said patient who was in front of the door.

Then, he saw the marker on the floor; he bends down slightly to pick it up. Then, he puts it into her hands, “Kuroko?” he calls out to her.

“Doc…tor…why…didn’t…you…tell…me…that…you…got…fired…be…cause…of…me?” she looked at him. Flashes of guilt appeared on her sapphires. Midorima was at lost of words as his eyes slightly widens, “Why…didn’t…you…?” she repeats.

He frowned. He did not answer the question as he turns the wheelchair around and pushed it towards the bed. He slides an arm under her knee and another, under her back. Gently, he puts her onto the bed. Then, he pulls the blanket to cover her lower part of the body. Then, he check the clipboard like he did any other days but he could feel those large round sapphires waiting for answers.

Waiting was not the right word. Wanting for answers was the correct one.

He sighed, as he eyed the bluenette from the clipboard, “Because, I don’t need you to be worried about such trivial things such as me getting fired for my carelessness.” Keeping his eyes glued to the charts, “You already have too much things on your mind. You don’t need more of it.” He added underneath his breathe.

“But…”

He hangs the clipboard, “No buts. It was after all my own fault. Not yours. So, whatever you have heard was nonsense. It was no one else’s fault.” He sharply looks at her. Then, it softens, “I was careless. That was all.” He turns around with his back facing the bluenette, hiding his frustrations from her, disappointed with himself.

“I’m…sorry…doc…tor…”

.

.

“Doctor Midorima, she’s here.” Two nurses bowed at him. In front of him, sitting in the wheelchair was his beloved patient, Kuroko. He took the wheelchair and pushed her towards the car where he parked nearby the entrance. With the help of the nurses, they folded the wheelchair into the boot while he fastens the seatbelts on Kuroko. He noticed the music sheets on her lap as she held them close to her.

After closing the passenger seat door properly, he went to front as he starts the car. Slowly, he drives out of the private hospital compound with Kuroko stares outside the windows, watching the scenery outside. Midorima eyed the driver mirror before focusing onto the road.

No one knew what was in Kuroko’s mind at that time.

_________________

The door slams open as a group of police officers barged into the large Suzuki’s Mansion. The household staffs panic and terrified at the sight of the guns as the police searched for only one person. Suzuki Luka.

The head butler who was present and informed of the sudden intrusion but one of the maids, hurried to the raven-haired detective who seems to know what he was doing, “I have a warrant to arrest Suzuki Luka for the charges of two murders, an attempt murder, and kidnap.” All of the household stuffs widen in horror.

“Luka Ojou-sama’s not here. She left the mansion not long ago.” The butler informed the detective. Himuro furrowed, “Did she ever tell you where she’s heading?” the middle age butler shook his head, “Unfortunately, none of us knew where she is, not even the chauffeur.” Himuro bit his lower lip. He grabbed his phone as he dials a number. He growls as soon as the number went into voicemail, “Come on Kagami, pick the damn phone up!” he tries again.

“I’m heading to Shutoku Private Hospital. Search for more evidence in this mansion!” he ordered the Captain of the Police Squad as he hurried to his car. Speeding as the siren made public drivers gave way to him.

“Please, let me make it in time!”

[EUTERPE by EGOIST]

The dome were dark as the orchestra for the song slowly fades out, followed by the voice of a female vocalist as she sang, “Oh wild flower, ah…could you please tell me, why people hurt and fight each other?” under the soft white stage light, stood Nana, dressed in black evening dress, holding the microphone close to her lips.

“Oh dignified flowers, what can you see from there. And why can’t people forgive each other?” holographic flowers grew from the stage as it began to blooms all over the dome. The stage lights brightens quite a bit, showing the band of orchestras supporting the gentle music while the EUTERPE waits for their turn to enter into the song. “After the rain, summer shifts blue hues to everything else, becoming one swaying lightly in front of me without saying a word…”

The dome became dark once again. The glowing flowers glow in orange colors. “What do you feel towards a dying friend? How much love can those wordless leaves convey?” The song was not heavy at all, in fact, it was gentle, as she conveys the words that Kuroko created in her past to the audience, she cherished dearly.

“The summer sun is clouded, the wind was swayed by it, joining them together, and I will sing the proof of life for those nameless ones….” The song slowly fades out as the stage darkens while the holographic flowers disappear into thin air.

[Soundless Voice by Valshe]

Soon after, the sound of the gentle melody of the piano enters in the darkness of the dome. Skillfully played by a certain blonde haired vocalist at the center of the stage as he sang, “Everything is engulfed by snow, as everything melts into silence and grief. When I hold up my hand, the fragile snow melts upon my palm and dissolves to nothing.”

…

“Snow piles up like sand, once you gather, it all in one single piece, “Is my voice clear to you now?"”

Midorima unfold the wheelchair, and then he opens the passenger door as Kuroko held onto his neck, the moment he bends down to pick her up. He held her tightly on the waist, then slowly he lowers her down to the wheelchair. He closed the door to the car.

Then, he pushed her to the entrance of the graveyard. Slowly, he pushed her along the pavement, passing by the other graves. No one was there except the two of them. After a while, they stopped in front of a certain grave, belongs to none other than the former bandleader of the Generation of Miracles, Akashi Seijuro.

Upon reaching the destination, Kuroko remain silent as she stares at the gravestone. Midorima felt he should leave the bluenette alone to her own thoughts while he stood somewhere he can watch over her. Little does he knows someone has been following them from the hospital. Waiting for the right time to strike.

…

“If I were to speak, you would no longer be able to hear me. You can tell me you are lonely, you can tell me you are aching. I'll try to find a way, to cure your pain.”

Himuro pants lightly the moment he reached the front desk of the private hospital, “Is Kuroko Tetsuki still in her room?” in his mind, he was begging the nurse would say yes instead of no. Unfortunately… “I’m sorry; she went out 20 minutes ago, with Doctor Midorima. They said, they are visiting a grave. They should be back in 40 minutes.” The young nurse informed him.

He quickly searched for Midorima’s number in his contacts as he hurried to the car, ‘Come on, come on, come on!’ he chants inwardly as he turns on the car. He drove from the hospital compound. The moment someone picked up the call, “Midorima, is Tsuki-chan with you?!”

But it was too late.

“Your eyes are resting now, that I see, is a teardrop coming from me, our world stained in gray, blinded in fog we can longer ever reach each other, your body is freezing up, your voice is no longer here”

Midorima collapsed onto the ground, upon the bullet drilled into his shoulder. He pants heavily as he winced in pain. The pain was excruciating. His vision swayed from the pain as he tries to stand up in front of Kuroko, “Have you lost your mind?!”

Behind him, Kuroko’s sapphires eyes widens in fear. The same scene repeated right before her eyes. Once again, she could not do anything as the bruenette approached them with a smirk on her face. Glint of evil in her brown eyes. Without hesitation, she shot the doctor’s thigh as he screamed in pain.

“We can't even shed, a single tear to mourn, please can you hear me out, laugh and smile again because I no longer have the strength to keep on living this way.”

Luka walked over Midorima, towards the trembling bluenette, “You’ve gave me so much work to do just to kill you off.” The bruenette pushed her off the wheelchair, as she grabs a handful of blue locks and forcefully brought her closer. She smirked, “Even God thinks you deserved to die.”

She pressed the cold steel onto her neck. Her sapphire orbs widen in fear.

…

 "I love you" is so hard to even say for that there is no love in this world, without you it is like nothing is ever warm. No matter how much or how many times I scream, you will not ever come to me.

“PUT YOUR HANDS UP, SUZUKI LUKA! YOU’RE UNDER ARREST!” the familiar voice of her childhood friend, Himuro Tatsuya broke the tension. The brunette shows no sign of surrendering to the detective, tightens her holds on the bluenette’s locks as Kuroko winced in pain.

“She deserves to die for what she has done to me! She took the things belongs to only me! She even dared to live her life while I suffered for mine!” Kuroko took the chance to bit the brunette’s arm, which immediately let go off her locks.

Kuroko heaves heavily as she tries to crawl away from the mad woman but before she could get even further from her. The sound of a gunshot echoes throughout the graveyard. A pair of sapphires widens in shock.

All each of them froze as a sudden chill suddenly crawls down their spine. Kise immediately continues the concertfollowed by the others who regained their composure. Kagami bit his lower lip; the uneasiness became all too strong all of a sudden.

“I beg you snow showers, keep on falling on the both of us right now. It is too pitiful to move on as we grow apart. Even if we one another we can walk our path forever.”

…

The bullet painfully drilled into her back; slowly she collapsed onto the ground. She could feel warm liquids start pooling beneath her. Her sapphires remain wide open from the shock of the pain. Everything turns into white noise as as she watched the music sheets falling onto the ground. Stained by the crimson liquids that filled her visions. 

‘Sei…’
