Akashi sigh as they both left. Kuroko who sat next to him laugh.

"What's so funny." Akashi looked to him.

"No, I just thought were kinda familiar having two troublesome people with us." Kuroko smiled at him.

"Are you Nervous?" Kuroko asked. Akashi didn't turn around here continue walking.

"No, it's just everytime I see him in get nervous. We both don't really see each other a lot." Akashi said.

Kuroko looked at Akashi back not saying anything. 

~They arrive at the Throne room~

Akashi enter the room where his father was sitting on the throne. The air was heavy once they stood face to face with the king. Akashi and Kuroko bowed down. The king had brown hair and gold eyes with a very familiar face like Akashi. He had royal clothes and a red cloak on him with his golden crown with jewels and ruby.

"Akashi, I heard you went to the Kuro clan territory. Is that true? " The king with a very commanding voice said.

"Yes." Akashi answer. Kuroko looked at Akashi who looked frozen.

"For what reason did you go there for?" The king said.

"I-went there becuase..." Akashi voice cracked.

Kuroko noticed this and touch one of his shaking hand and held onto it. Akashi noticed this he calmed down and he didn't felt frozen anymore.

"I went there because I heard there was a powerful weapon in the Kuro territory." Akashi said.

"AND? What is this powerful weapon?" The king said.

"There was a rumor about a shadow sword with a Shadow king that reside inside the sword. If you were to make a contract with him he would grant you a wish." Akashi said.

"A shadow king? Sword? What a ridiculous nonsense! You went there because of a stupid sword!!" The king angry voice filled the room. Akashi flinch.

"But father you have to belive me I have-" Akashi was about to take out the sword by his side but.

"Go back to your room. I except you to finish all the papers I putted on your desk." The king said. Akashi wanted to protest but stop. He got up and exit out of the door. Kuroko watch as Akashi left. Then he turned back to the king who sigh he didn't noticed Kuroko who was still in room.

"Your to harsh you know that." Kuroko said. The king flinch he looked at the sound of the voice in the room.

"Who are you! Show yourself!" The king shouted. He stood up from his chair and looked around he room but saw no one.

"I'm right here." Kuroko appear in front of him floating. The king almost scream at Kuroko sudden appearance.

"How long have you been here?" The king said.

"I've been here since the beginning." Kuroko deadpanned.

"Who are you? You look familiar?" The king looked at Kuroko. 

"Hello, I'm Kuroko Tetsuya the shadow King of course. Also known as the shadow sword." Kuroko said still floating in the air.

"The shadow king? Thats a lie! There's no such thing as a shadow sword or a shadow king! Those are nonsense!" The king said. 

"Oh...you don't belive me. Then I'll show you." Kuroko smiled his eyes starts to glow.

"W-hat-" the king felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Beside do remember that you were the one killed me." Kuroko voice said as cold as ice.
