Chapter Seven:

"I won't." Akashi firmly replied. "I won't give you up. I swear this." He murmured.

Akashi, never letting go of her hand, agreed, "It is indeed beautiful. So this is why they call it Blossoming Festival. The cherry blossoms are just blossoming and they're celebrating another abundant coming of spring." He explained.

When one of them began to walk towards them, Akashi did something unexpected—he removed his jacket, placed it on top of her head before pulling her closer and leaning his lips against her in a compassionate kiss under his leather jacket.

She woke up in a jolt. Her eyes widened. Her hands trembling. Her whole body shaking. She was crying, apparently, and she didn't even know why. All she dreamt about were her memories being together with Akashi. They were precious and joyful memories which she treasured, so why was she crying so badly that her eyes had begun to swollen?

Aomine sighed. "Fine. I guess you need to know the truth. These people are good at fighting. And...we don't know if Akashi will ever come back again."

"In short..." Midorima trailed off.

Tetsumi stared at the front door. "He might die in this mission...He'll never come back."

She sat up on her single bed, and stared at her hands. "I didn't wish him good luck." She whispered to herself as she sobbed. "Akashi-kun might never come back, and I didn't even get to smile at him for the very last time."

She grasped a handful of her bed's blanket before frowning. "I think, it isn't that I'm regretting I didn't get to wish him good luck..." She whispered. "It's the fact that I might never see him again. The reason I'm crying right now is because I'm afraid that he might really never come back..." She added.

She gulped, and looked at the door. "I'm frightened that the feelings I hold for him will all just be stored inside my heart instead of being outspoken directly to him."

Tetsumi stood up from her bed, and walked towards the window. She opened it, and only few sunrays got to her face. It didn't really feel that welcoming and joyful. "I'm...scared that my savior...my ray of shine might have already died without my knowledge...I'm..." She began to sob again. "I wanna see him again...I wanna see him again."

It has been three days, and they didn't have a single contact with Akashi. And every single night, all Tetsumi could do was tightly hold onto the photo frame with Akashi's picture in it. And hope he'd appear in front of her again.

~LFMH021~

He gritted his teeth, but tried to be as composed as ever. "And you got me. What do you intend to do with me then? Turn me to the police? I think you're forgetting the loyalty I vowed to my team."

Izuki frowned. "His eye is turning golden. Cover them. Now."

Hyuuga quickly grabbed the blindfold he had in his pocket and tightly blindfolded Akashi so that he wouldn't be able to use his Emperor Eyes to them. "You bastard. You think we'll fall for the same trick after you almost killed Kiyoshi?"

Kiyoshi sighed from his seat. "I think I'm half-dead already, anyway, Hyuuga. No need to mention it."

Akashi locked his jaw, as he tried to think of any way to get out of this mess. He was a genius. But he was tied up tightly on a chair glued to the wall. His hands were handcuffed. So did his feet. His mouth was uncovered, but his eyes were—which were his main weapon among all. His whole body seemed to restless and weak—perhaps because of the way he was cornered by Seirin—which consisted of mostly ten to eleven people as fast reflexed and great fighter as the Generation of Miracles.

It wasn't a competition because if the others were with him, he didn't have a single doubt, they'd win. But he was asked to be sent out alone. He was commanded by their boss, himself. And seeing as he needed to do things to make up to his previous mistakes –which he did on purpose—he needed to comply badly. Even if his death was the toll.

Grunting, he growled, "I hate this. Let me go!"

He mentally gasped when someone punched his stomach. "Shut up, you asshole." Said the new voice.

"Ah, Kagami-kun, what brought you here?" Riko Aida, the brain of Seirin asked in surprise.

Kagami. He echoed, trying to decipher where he had heard the name.

Before his mind could even give him the first clue, his hair was pulled, and he swore he could feel something sharp being pointed on his throat. "Tell me, Akashi Seijuuro, correct?"

"Hmph." He huffed.

But his hair was pulled even more as response to his aloofness. "You bastard. You dare act tough on times like this? Fuck. Tell me where you brought Kuroko Tetsumi."

"Why would I? I assume I have no obligation to say such things to people I hardly know. Besides, did you really think I would be scared of a knife? You're facing Akashi Seijuuro, peasant." He replied.

He mentally screamed when he felt something hot being placed on his neck. "What—" He began.

But more things that felt like-

"Cigarettes?" He hissed.

Kagami laughed. "You pissed me off."

He knew that he already had about twenty cigarette marks on his neck and chest now, but he didn't care. He didn't yell nor scream. Just there making a nonchalant face.

"Hah. He didn't react at all." Koganei, he presumed, murmured.

"Are we really gonna torture him?" He heard Kiyoshi Teppei ask in worry.

And then a sigh. "You heard Kagami before he went out. Torture him. Punch him. Stab him. Kick him. Just make him tell us where Tetsumi Kuroko is." Riko Aida replied.

"You heard that, Akashi? Spill it out." Hyuuga, their bespectacled captain, grunted.

And he smirked like he heard the funniest thing in the world. "I don't give information to people who're threatening me. And I also don't give information to people who are nothing but low life humans."

"AKASHI SEIJURO, YOU BASTARD!"

And then he flinched a little when a bucket ice-cold water was suddenly thrown at him. He gritted his teeth. "Hmph." He huffed.

It's cold... His mind growled.

And he finally he gasped in pain when a pair of hands strangled him. "I HATE YOU." He heard an unrecognizable voice growl.

He tried to breathe, but to no avail, got strangled even more.

"Let him go. He'll die."

And finally, he half-sat a little on the chair before stumbling down into the ground.

"Tell us where she is." Hyuuga grumbled.

"No." He snapped.

And that was when more torture came into both his mind and body.

~LFMH021~

Himuro got awaken when he heard a crash on the bathroom. He looked at the clock and read: 4:30 AM. Blinking the sleepiness away, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom just right beside his bedroom. He gasped upon seeing a bleeding Murasakibara on the floor.

"A-Atsushi!" He murmured as he knelt beside the violet-head. "Y-Your hand is bleeding. You'll lose so much blood." He mumbled in slight panic. He was looking for anything to stop the blood when he saw the crashed flower vase on the floor beside the shower room. "T-That's didn't fall, did it?"

Murasakibara frowned. "So what if it didn't?"

"Y-You crashed it with your own bare hand, and threw it on the floor?" He guessed.

The violet-head didn't reply and just frowned on nothing.

He grabbed the first aid kid inside the cabinet on top of the mirror before starting removing small broken pieces pricked on the other's hand. They were so little, and so deep, he began to shake in fright if he'd leave some inside and cause something worse. "A-At least tell me where the broken shards are so I could remove them before we wash and bandage it."

And Murasakibara silently complied by pointing each piece until his hand was just bleeding, and no longer pricked.

Himuro took a bowl of clean water, and settled it beside Murasakibara before gently placing the latter's hand in the bowl, and washing the blood away, and applying pressure to stop its' bleeding. After awhile, it did. When it was finally clean, Himuro cut a piece of bandage and wrapped it tightly around the other's hand. "Why...did you do this?"

"I wasn't feeling sleepy, and I suddenly began to feel numb all over my body...so I subconsciously crashed it in my hand when I wanted to wash my face instead." The violet-head answered.

"Don't do it again." Himuro scolded. "I know. We're all worried about Akashi-san, but that doesn't mean you need to stay up all night and do this so that you won't feel sleepy. Please..."

"I do this a lot." Murasakibara admitted nonchalantly. "I like the pain. And it's less troublesome than some kind of drug."

Himuro gritted his teeth, and slammed the sides of his fists on the violet-head's chest. "Stop it. Please...just stop it. I'm here now..."

"What's the difference of you being here and not?"

"There's a big difference! When you don't want to sleep, you can wake me up and I'll accompany you! When you fell numb all over, I'll do a remedy I know so that you'll be able to feel again. When you want to feel some pain, I will punch, pinch or kick you or something. Just...don't try doing drugs or cutting yourself again...Please..." Himuro cried as he leaned on Murasakibara's chest.

"Why does this matter so much? I mean, you don't need to worry about me. I'm this group's giant anyway."

"Because you're my savior." Himuro hissed. "You saved me! You protected me! Without you, I wouldn't have survived! Tell me...just tell me, how do you think I can survive if you repeat this stuff and accidentally die? How? Think of my case even just sometimes, Atsushi!"

He wasn't used with nags, and yells and shouts. But instead of feeling annoyed, he felt guilty. Murasakibara looked at his neatly bandaged hand, and glanced at the upset Himuro in front of him. He knelt and patted the latter's head. "Sorrryyy." He mumbled. "Sorrryy, don't be mad."

Himuro looked up, and stared straight at the other's violet orbs. He managed a smile, and held the giant's bandaged hand. "If you do this again, I'll confiscate all of your sweets."

"Whhhaaaaatttt~ Nooooo~"

~LFMH021~

Takao Kazunari woke up with the sound a rooster from somewhere near their mansion. He laughed when he repeated: 'their' on his head. He felt so at home despite wanting to escape days ago. He'd rather stay than get caught, and run somewhere far away again.

He wanted to stay. He badly wanted to stay. But not only in this place, but somewhere else. Somewhere he hoped only he knew and approach.

He went down his bed, took a short shower. And quietly went to the garden since it seemed like everyone was still asleep.

It had been three days since Akashi had gone away, and he, himself, was concerned what had happened upon the red-head.

Whistling a little as he roamed on the garden, his eyes widened upon seeing Midorima silently reading a book on the garden bench. He was surrounded by tons of different kinds of flowers and plants which made him look more unapproachable and more something unreachable than Takao had ever imagined.

"Takao, what are you standing there for?" Midorima coldly asked.

Blinking, he stiffened. "Uh, just wanted some fresh air early in the morning." He lied, and laughed apologetically. "Mind if I sit beside you?"

The green-head resumed on reading. "I don't mind. Do what pleases you, nanodayo."

So Takao walked over, and sat beside the green-head. "Ne, Shin-chan..."

"What is it?" The other mumbled.

"Can I stay here?" He murmured.

"You're already—"

"No...not that! I- I meant...can I stay by your side?" This, Takao, mumbled. "Wherever you'll go, can I follow you?"

Midorima stiffened a bit, but he had regained his composure after awhile. "You're not obliged to do such things just because I saved you before, Takao—"

Takao shook his head furiously and held onto the hem of the other's shirt. "It's not out of obligation! It's not even out of pity! It's out of—"

Midorima turned. "Out of?" He prompted in confusion.

Takao began to tear up. "It's out of love, damn it. I want to stay by your side. You saved me. You talked to me. You helped me. I doubted you, but you coldly welcomed me. You made me feel a little out of place at first, but then, you're suddenly like an angel who would smile and strike a conversation to make me comfortable again. You're so hard to read, but when you'd opened up—I feel like you're the greatest person I've ever met. You make me feel like I do deserve to live...And that's why I want to stay by your side..." He murmured. "C-Can I?"

He was expecting a cold brush off, but the green-head chuckled. Yes, he just chuckled. And then pinched Takao's cheeks hard. "You idiot Takao, nanodayo. I don't have the right to decline, nanodayo. I won't mind if you follow me. It's not like I-I really care and i-it's not like I will ever care, nanodayo. You're just Takao, nanodayo. So shut up, nanodayo."

And because of the tsundere response the green-head just said on the last lines, Takao was reassured. He was sure now. He could stay. He really could stay. He now could stay on his beloved Midorima's side.

~LFMH021~

Aomine woke up finding no Kise beside him. Feeling a little anxious because of this reason, he went down his bed and wandered downstairs. At four in the morning, he saw the blonde playing with a pair of scissors. Open, close. Spin around a finger, and then close them again. Eyes widening, he grabbed the scissors out of Kise's hands and placed them on the coffee table. "What the fuck are you doing? You were like sharpening it and doing some tricks to use it more. What the hell, Kise?"

The copycat pursed his lips, and frowned. "I wanted to make sure Akashicchi's alright."

"And will doing that give you any clues? You're turning insane again. Go get some sleep." Aomine hissed.

As he began to turn, the blonde murmured, "So you're leaving me as well, ssu."

He swiftly turned. "What the—No, Kise! That's not the case."

"I could still somehow feel his presence. The scissors he uses are all somehow connected to him. If they're being used, they're filled with scary life energy. When left, they fade away slowly. When Akashi's dead, they do will be lifeless." The Kise whose eyes were now glowing, murmured. "He's still alive somewhere."

Aomine gritted his teeth, and squeezed Kise's hands, hard. "You bastard, wake up!"

And the blonde was finally back to normal. He blinked, and looked around. "W-What happened, ssu?"

Sighing in relief, the bluenette wrapped his arms around Kise, and embraced him tightly. It wasn't that uncommon to see Kise's other side, but he hated when it happens. The latter would suddenly turn suicidal and homicidal. Kise would turn into the kind of person he couldn't recognize. Sometimes, he would disappear in the middle of the day and would appear wounded, bruised or almost lifeless.. Sometimes, this side of Kise would suddenly raise a knife to his throat and threaten himself. It was terrifying.

Terrifying to know that because of what they're doing, someone important –extremely important—to Aomine would suddenly disappear and die without him knowing.

He was scared that someday, he might not have anyone to hug anymore. Afraid he might never see Kise Ryouta's smiling face again.

~LFMH021~

It's the fourth day ever since Akashi was last seen and contacted. Ever since then, no one could see to decipher where he had gone to, and if he was still alive.

No one even knew if he was successful or if he failed.

Like usual, Tetsumi Kuroko was out of her usual spirits. She was still doing the house chores, cooking them meals, and giving them snacks, but she was quieter. More anxious. More concerned. More bothered. More disturbed.

But she was the only one. Even the other four members of Generation of Miracles were the same. Silent. Worried. Disturbed. Bothered.

It didn't feel the same. And everyone hated it.

After washing the dishes, Tetsumi went out of the house when she figured that everyone was having their afternoon nap. She silently shut the door behind her, and sat on the front porch.

She stared at the clear skies that seemed to be mocking them.

She was about to heave a sigh when she heard a small bark outside the gate. Blinking, she stood up. "Eh?"

The puppy barked again from outside. She cautiously opened the gate and found a small puppy of black and white outside the gates. "He looks like..." Quickly taking it inside, she closed the gates.

She placed the friendly puppy on her lap. He whimpered, and licked her face. She giggled silently, and finally saw the note turned into a necklace around the dog's neck. Removing it, she read the rolled letter.

If you can read this, it means that the puppy has found you. Keep him, I don't like dogs.

Anyway, Akashi Seijuuro is with us. Beaten up. Hungry. Exhausted.

He looks like he'll die soon, and figured you guys should know.

If you want to spare and save him, you still have time.

Let's meet up on the abandoned building, Olympus has Fallen, at exactly four in the afternoon today. Bring the others. Secretly. And no police, or we're all dead.

This is not a scam.

-Seirin or something like that

With this, she grabbed the dog and ran inside the house to call onto the others.

~LFMH021~

Kagami bent down to look at Akashi's face, but the latter was silent as he always was. "Yo! Akashi, I sent a dog to give a letter to Kuroko using the handkerchief you have with you that smelled like her. I didn't attach any tracking device on the dog, so I hadn't figured out where you lived. I want her to come with her on her will."

Akashi smirked. "Like hell she will."

And because of that, he received another bucket of ice-cold bucket of water, and tons of small cuts and marks of cigarette. He remained completely still on moments like this.

Kagami murmured something under his breath, and Akashi could sense the other slowly walking towards the door. "At exactly four in the afternoon, they'll arrive in the building in front of this one. Prepare. I have something in my mind."

"Ugh, your grin is so disgusting." Hyuuga Junpei complained.

"Gaaaah! It isn't! Shut up!" Kagami defended.

He sent a letter to Tetsumi? Knowing her, she'd definitely come. And knowing the others, they'd certainly follow along. Damn it, if I knew, I wouldn't have become so confident and spaced out back then.

Ah, I can hear them slowly disappearing one by one.

Oh, that's it. They'd all left.

Darn, it's so cold. The window seems to be open. Terribly open.

Now, it's time for me to find some way or another to escape or else...or else I might forever lose Tetsumi.

And with that Akashi began to fondle on every single little thing he could use to escape.

~LFMH021~

"Are you certain they're coming?" Hyuuga grumbled.

Kagami huffed. "Yeah, I think so. I mean, the dog hasn't come back since I let him go."

"Wow, it's amazing how easily you can manipulate dogs, Kagami-kun!" Kiyoshi Teppei murmured in amazement.

"I actually can't. I just let him go in a hunch."

"Stupid clients and their stupid minds." Riko Aida grunted.

"What was—" Before Kagami could even continue his ranting, a sparkling black BMW whirled and then halted in front of them. "Ah, they'd arrived." He mumbled in surprise, and then after clearing his throat, he turned to the others. "Told you they'd come."

"Hah." Was the Seirin's members unconvinced response.

The doors opened, and the members of Generation of Miracles along with Takao Kazunari, Himuro Tatsuya and Tetsumi Kuroko.

"So you've arrived—" Izuki started.

"Where's Akashi-kun?" Tetsumi asked bluntly.

"Wow, so straightforward." Tsuchida gasped silently.

Kagami laughed. "Just like I'd expected. Yeah, we have Akashi with us. But not here right now. I don't even know if he's still alive in his little prison."

"Give him back!" Kise growled.

"Fine. I'll let you have Akashi Seijuuro back." Kagami Taiga decided.

Tetsumi gulped. "Thank you—"

"But, in one condition." Hyuuga Junpei interrupted.

"What condition?" Midorima asked.

"Tetsumi Kuroko is coming with us instead. In short, it's a trade." Kagami explained.

Kise gritted his teeth. "NO!"

"We're not lying. We won't expose your true identities. We'll keep everything hidden. Just give us what our leader wants." Izuki Shun said.

"And why would we listen to you~?" Murasakibara complained.

Kagami sighed and lifted his left hand. "See this ring? I'm Kagami Taiga, and I here want you, Generation of Miracles, bring me back my fiancée, Tetsumi Kuroko, whom I was supposed to get married with the day you took her away." He announced, and then pointed Tetsumi. "I'm your fiancé, Kuroko. I'm here to bring you back."

"Whhhaaaaatttt? No way. You don't look like it at all." Kise objected.

"SHUT UP!" Kagami growled, offended. "Just how do I look for you guys?"

"Gangster." Everyone replied in unison.

"WHA—"

"Bastard." They added.

"OI!"

"Idiot." They added again.

"STOP!"

"Annoying." In unison, they added once again.

"GAH! CUT IT OUT!" Kagami growled.

As Kagami took a step forward, Tetsumi took a step backward. "Don't come near me." She whispered.

"Don't you recognize this ring, Kuroko?" The red-head complained.

Aomine spread his arms. "Don't you dare lay a finger on her."

Hyuuga stood up. "Don't get involved, burnt fried egg."

"What did you say, you bespectacled old hag?!" Aomine growled.

And with that, the fight between Generation of Miracles and Seirin began, with Kagami and Kuroko still doing the forward-backward sequence. "Of course I recognize the ring my own father picked." She murmured. "And I hated that ring."

"So, you do believe that I am your fiancée?" Kagami asked.

And Kuroko frowned, a little. "Yes, of course. But my father never mentioned how you look. He just said that you would be wearing the same exact ring like he gave to me the day before I went with these people. I don't actually expect you look like this."

"And just like your father said, you do have a sharp tongue." Kagami sighed, and he offered a hand. "Let's go back home. Your family's so worried."

"I presume you meant: 'Your family is so worried about the money'?" Kuroko corrected.

And the red-head stiffened in guilt with the accusation. "Kuroko, don't be so difficult."

"I don't want to go with you." She mumbled.

Kagami gritted his teeth. "Then, what if I told you that Akashi Seijuro will die after thirty minutes of you don't come with me?"

Tetsumi winced with the threat. "N-No..." She whispered. "A-Akashi-kun, let him go."

"And you'll take my hand?" Kagami asked.

Gulping, she nodded. "...I will."

"Alright then, take my hand, and I promise to let him go and won't ever say anything about these people." The red-head promised as he extended an arm.

Tetsumi took a deep breath before stepping forward and offering her hand. Kagami enthusiastically took it. She looked away as the other six looked at her in surprise.

"Tetsu, you idiot, don't!" Aomine growled.

"You don't need to do this, Kuroko-san." Himuro murmured.

"Yeah! I-I'll go find him for you! I can use my Hawk Eyes!" Takao offered.

"But..." She began.

Before anyone could make any more protests, they heard a bark. And Kagami's scream.

Everyone watched in both confusion and amusement as a small black and white dog chased after Kagami. Because of this, the latter had unconsciously let go of Tetsumi's hand.

"Ah, it's the dog who gave me the letter." She whispered in an emotionless tone. "To be honest, I think he's the son of my personal dog. They're the same breed and color. And he looks exactly the puppy I left at home..." She added.

"AAAAAHHHH! I HATE DOGS! GET HIM AWAY FROM ME!" Kagami screamed.

"Uh, doggie-kun, please chase after him more and bite him."

The puppy barked, and jumped into Kagami's butt before biting both hard. "GYYYYYAAAAAAAHHHH!" The taller red-head yelled.

Tetsumi gasped when a hand grabbed her wrist. "You're coming with us now—"

Before Riko could even finish her threat, a pair of scissors passed by the right side of her face, and she successfully got wounded by it. After passing by her cheek, the scissors stabbed right on the tree a meter away from them. "Take your filthy hand away from her."

Everyone turned, and gasped upon seeing a bleeding Akashi leaning against the right side of this building's wall. "H-How did you—"

"A glass bottle. An open window. Those are my answer." Akashi panted as he held his side. "I heard the deal. Tetsumi held your hand, so you got to let us go and won't tell anyone about us."

"Huh? That's not the deal at all—" Kagami started.

"Doogie-kun, bite."

And the puppy chased after Kagami again.

Akashi pulled Riko's hand away from Tetsumi's wrist, and glared at the former. She stiffened, and fell on her butt in both fright and confusion. It almost felt like her brain shut down for a second and made her faint for only awhile.

She looked up at Akashi, and shivered upon seeing his glistening eyes glaring at the others.

"What the fuck?" Kagami gasped as he fell on his knees. "Shit, how did you—"

"Don't overdo it, Akashi!" Midorima growled. "You're injured. Don't overuse your eyes."

Akashi covered his left eye with his other hand, and sighed. "It seems I need to repeat what you said earlier Kagami Taiga. You said: 'Alright then, take my hand, and I promise to let him go and won't ever say anything about these people.'" He stated.

Kagami rummaged through his memories, and clicked his tongue. "Darn it, I did say those exact words. And if you take it literally..."

Akashi smirked. "I told you, haven't I? I'm absolute. She took your hand. You didn't say anything about letting it go, though. So the deal's sealed. Let us go or..." He only half-covered his eye. "You'll taste hell once again."

"Shit, I'm already on my knees!" Kagami growled.

"FINE! WE'LL LET YOU ALL GO!" Riko gasped. "J-Just cover your eye..."

The smaller red-head huffed in victory. "You underestimated me." He murmured before taking Tetsumi's hand. "Are you alright?"

She looked up, and nodded. "Yes, I am fine."

"I assume you have more plans under your sleeve, and I don't care. Just don't spill our identity, and I won't mind you messing with us. I'll do my best to enjoy your little failures all the time you try to take Tetsumi away from us." The Emperor murmured before walking towards the car which the others used. "Let's go, Generation of Miracles."

Each of them let go of his victim before following their captain. "Roger~" Murasakibara answered in behalf of the whole group.

Akashi made a last warning look at the Seirin's member and Kagami before sliding inside. The puppy barked, and jumped inside as well.

Tetsumi lifted it, and patted its' head. "Good dog."

It barked happily, and licker her face.

~LFMH021~

"Aaaaahhhh, back alive! We're actually back alive!" Kise gasped after opening the doors.

"I'm gonna open the front door." Aomine complained.

One by one, they emptied the car.

Akashi was the last one to go out, and everyone was now happily walking inside the mansion. Tetsumi was petting the puppy's head when she heard a loud 'thud' behind her. Her eyes widened upon seeing a bleeding Akashi on the floor, cold and pale as if he was already lifeless.

"E-Everyone!" She gasped.

She grabbed one of his hands, and squeezed it. "A-Akashi-kun."

He half-opened his eyelids, and smiled. "I'm glad...you're back."

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that?" Tetsumi sobbed. "Akashi-kun, please, hang in there."

But he didn't reply. And everyone turned even more worried and restless when his left eye turned red instead of golden.

"That's not good." Midorima murmured under his breath.

She squeezed his hand with both of her hands before crying out, "Don't let go. Don't let go yet. You're my ray of shine! You're my only ray of shine! Don't leave me in the darkness, Sei-kun!"

A/N: Dunno. I am super out of feels. I mean, I feel a little lonely inside, but I can't seem to apply the feels in this chappie...or did I?

I dunno, actually.

BTW, I just read Doukyuusei and its' sequels, and waaaah! I cried afterwards. Such a great boys' love story. Try it! You'll love the plot!

Anyway, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!

SNEAK PEEEEEEK

Nijimura blinked. "What's with the cold shoulder?" He grunted, and no one answered. "Oh, by the way, I heard about what happened with Akashi. He survived, wow, but he failed. I wonder what the boss will say...Anyway, he's upstairs, right? Can I see him?" He was about to walk upstairs when he was halted by Tetsumi. "WHOA! When did you appear—"

"Don't go to him."

"Huh? But why?"

"I'm sorry, but it seems I need to say this to you. I hate you, Nijimura-san." Tetsumi politely stated.

"What? What did I even do—"

"If Akashi-kun dies, I'll never forgive you." Tetsumi added.

The black-head was about to retort when he saw the tears that were in verge of being spilled. He bit his bottom lip. "He's...in a bad condition, isn't he?"

"He's in coma." Was the others' direct answer, which made them feel like the silence suddenly echoed all around them.

A/N: EXPECT FEELS NEXT CHAPTER. Hahahaha!
