--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Normal POV)

(A/N: I don't know exactly what happens or how many days of surgery. Here, it's all made up. I'm not pretty sure.)

It's been ten days since Akashi has been confined at their own hospital. All he need is to let his left shoulder rest before the Winter Cup begins.

On Akashi's absence, on Kuroko and Kise's situation, Kuroko have been suffering at Kise's side. Kise tried dating him on weekends and gave all his time to his Kuroko and nothing else.

And it seems Kise's plan's working on them. Kuroko had fun being with him on Akashi's disapperance. But still, Kuroko won't forget his painful past.

Monday, two days before the Winter Cup starts.

Akashi went back home from hospital and didn't even care about taking a rest. He went to Rakuzan, his school, and attended class. Many students noticed his wounded taped shoulder. Now, all of them gave their full attention at Akashi which is he really hated it.

He met his teammates, the generals, after school who has been worried about him and of what they have heard what had happened.

(Rakuzan Basketball Court)

Akashi stopped before entering their school's court.

"What a rough day.." he gave out a heavy sigh and gripped the handle on his shoulder bag at his right side.

"Sei-chan! Are you alright?" the tall black haired man asked hurriedly as he saw their captain entering the court.

"Akashi... Why is your left shoulder bandaged?" asked Hayama. The orange haired general with a with small fang at his left side of his mouth appeard.

"You haven't attended practices in a week. That's new for you.." Nebuya said. The black haired general with a tan skin and a muscular build of body went to Akashi.

"A lot of things happened between us Tetsuya and that Copy Cat of Kaijou." Akashi, simply, said and headed at the locker room without telling them, or he ignored them.The three of them didn't hesitate and followed him.

The red haired teen captain opened the door and entered. He sat at the bench as he placed down his bag beside him and rested his hands down at the bench while his head's resting at his right shoulder, looking very stressed out.

Mibuchi, Hayama, and Nebuya went infront of their captain waiting for his response.

"Where is Mayuzumi?" Akashi suddenly asked. It made them jolt. It's out of the topic they expected to hear.

"Mayuzumi didn't attended practice since he heard that you have been hospitalized." Nebuya answered. Since the other two can't talk.

Their captain clicked his tongue. "He learns how to slack off now, huh?" he muttered. "So what do you, guys, want?" he asked looking at them one by one.

"What happened to you, Captain?" Hayama started first. "You wanted to know all what had happened to me?"

Hayama quickly nodded. But Mibuchi and Nebuya stayed still and listened on what's next Akashi's going to say. Akashi gave out another heavy sigh.

"I'll make it short, I still have somewhere to go after. I'm just paying a visit..."

"Ryouta raped Tetsuya then he kidnapped him when he's in our house. I followed them to retrieve Tetsuya but before I did that Ryouta hired some men and I killed all of them."

The three of them flinch in shock. They looked at Akashi who stopped explaining and looked at them back. They felt shivers and regretted asking why. He didn't mind on what react or what and continues explaining.

He changed the place of his head and it went at the other side, his left shoulder.

"However, when Ryouta showed up after I killed all those filthy objects, he shot my shoulder that caused my loss. So in the end I didn't retrieve Tetsuya. But I haven't give up yet. Later I'm going to visit Seirin High." as Akashi ends his short explaination, the genarals kept silent.

They couldn't belive it. Their most fearsome captain could actually kill. But, Yes, they've seen Akashi pointing his red sharp scissors to those he hated the most. But in this case, killing? Unbelievable.

"I have to go now. I just payed a visit here today." Akashi said and placed his bag back at his right shoulder then stood up. He headed at the door and grabbed the door knob. "And tomorrow I'll start attending. Tell Mayuzumi if he slack off I'll kill him." there, he left the generals at the locker room, still shock.

He went straight at Seirin High and got the permit to enter. After that, he directly headed at the court where Seirin basketball players or regulars started praticing for the Winter Cup.

Akashi watched them play a practice game from the entrance, quietly. Not wanting to be notice.

"Ryouta is an idiot after all. He didn't even thought of guarding Tetsuya and now I can easily snatch him back too me again."

"Ignite Pass!" the first years screamed as Kuroko used that moved and pass it to his light, Kagami, who quickly made a dunk at the ring.

Kagami went to the blue haired teen and made a fist bump. "Nice pass. Kuroko." "Domou." the only response he received.

'Tetsuya's doing well at practices. Even at Teiko, he's like that but now he is even better.' Akashi thought. 'He surely have improved.'

Suddenly the shadow frowned when he noticed Akashi watching from the entrance and he saw it too. The Rakuzan captain quickly hide.

"Is there something wrong Kuroko?" Kagami asked his shadow from the inside which Akashi heard it. 'Shit, he did notice me!' he panicked. "Nothing Kagami-kun. I just saw some stranger outside watching us." Kuroko said and continued playing.

'Is he treating me like a stranger or he just didn't saw my face? I just wait until they finish their practice.' Akashi thought.

"Okay! Let's stop here. Kuroko-kun better rest first." Riko their couch announced.

'Already finish? So I'll just enter smoothly.' "Kuroko! Akashi-san's here!" one of the first years informed him. But they didn't expect Kuroko that he'll be surprised. So he tried running away but he bumped at Kagami's chest that caused him to fall.

the red haired teen rushed to him and helped him up. But when he stood up the blue haired teen looked at Akashi expressionless and asked.

"Who are you?"

All of them were surprised but Akashi was deeply surprised than the others. "Wha.. What are you.. saying Tetsuya..?" he asked then his voice cracked.

"I'm asking who are you? I heard them calling you Akashi. Is that your name?" he pointed to the first years. "Oi! Kuroko what are you saying?!" his light asked really confused.

"What happened to you? You said the past days that you only had a fever that's why you were absent! And what's new Kise-kun's with you!" their coach complained. "What?!" Akashi exclaimed, very furious.

The first years and the senpai's gulped in fear. Riko quickly covered her mouth to prevent her to talk and she regretted talking. She made the situation worst.

Akashi grabbed the teen's hand and pulled it marching away from Kuroko's teammates.

(Outside)

"What has got in to you?! Tetsuya! Are you acting or what? It is not funny at all!" the fearsome teen furiously asked the other teen making him scared. "I don't really know you... And please don't shout. You're frightening me..." he said looking very terrified.

Akashi tried calming himslef down before asking him again.

"Tetsuya. Again. It's me. Akashi Seijuuro. And I hate playing this kind of game. Do you remember me now?"

"I'm sorry but I don't know who you are. Akashi-kun. I just met you." Kuroko replied.

"I.. I have to go. Akashi-kun." the blue haired teen quickly rush away leaving Akashi.

"What is wrong with Tetsuya?" he complained and punch the wall angrly. "And what's Ryouta doing with him?"

"Akashi." A certain red haired teen called out. Akashi caught his attention and looked at him, Kagami Taiga. He just glared at him looked really pissed.

"What the fuck do you want?"

"Want me to help you out?"

"Help me and what? What can you do?!"

"Since I'm Kuroko's best friend, he can tell me why. And I know he is just pretending not to know you."

"Pretending?! What do you know?! You know nothing!"

"Moron! I'm the one here who is helping you now, and in fact I know Kuroko even if you spend more days and years with him at Teiko.. I know if he's lying or what!!"

"Do whatever you want! If you can gain some informations tell me."

"Sure."
