Blue Phantom (akakuro)

Partial Control

"Let it consume, Tetsuya." "Who are you?" I eyed the suspicious figure infront of me who was shrouded in darkness. "Kuroko Tetsuya, of course." I shook my head. "No.. I'm Kuroko Tetsuya." He laughed, "Are you sure?" He took a step forward, "Take a look for yourself." My eyes widened, he looked exactly like me. "That.. Can't be." He-I-laughed, "You're weak. Allow me to take over. To make your stronger." I quickly returned to my monotone voice and stoic face. "I will give you partial control, I will control my everyday thoughts and actions. Come out only when I need you. Understand?" A sly grin was plastered onto his face, "Sure."

My eyes snap open, sweat coats my pale body. An audible sigh escapes my mouth. I push the covers off me and head to the bathroom to take a shower. I start to undress when I notice my reflection in the mirror. My eye is its normal teal blue. A small smile appears on my face.

"Kuroko, you seemed different to- oh my god." Eveeyone gathers around me. "What happened?!" I look up at my teammates, "He left me alone for now. He'll come back when I need him, probably in matches against the Generation of Miracles." Eveeyone looks around at each other. Riko scratches her head, "Uhh.. Kuroko? Maybe you need more rest. You're saying crazy things." My smile fades and I stare at her blankly. "No, he refers to my other self. He was awakened along with the eye." Kagami feels my forehead, "Are you sure you're okay, Kuroko?" Want me to come out now? To convince them? No, I can do it myself. "How can you explain the thoughts and actions that didn't quite suit me?" Everyone looks around. "He has a point. So is that why Akashi changed, too?" I nod, "Akashi-kun wanted to be stronger and his alternate personality could grant that, so he let it consume him. Unlike me, I granted him partial control." Kagami stares at me in awe. "So.. He can make you stronger or something?" I nod, "He can make me as strong or stronger than Akashi-kun." He smiles and ruffles my hair. "We can use him to our advantage."

"Kagami-kun, I do not wish to use him more than I need to." Hyuga nods, "That is probably the best decision." I sigh and grab a basketball that's at my feet and toss it towards the hoop, missing. "Huh, maybe we will need him, after all." Furihata laughs nervously. "As long as we have our senpais and our first year duo we'll be fine... Right? We don't need to Kuroko's alternate personality to win." I shake my head, "Sorry, but that may not be true. Akashi-kun and Aomine-kun will be a problem." Kagami-kun furrows his eyebrows. "Who?" I look up at the giant, "the Generation of Miracles' captan and power forward." He nods and starts to practice when a distant scream distracts him.

"Kurokocchi!" I groan mentally as Kise almost tackles me again. "Kise-kun, what is it?" He bends over with his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Akashi...ccchi.. Genera... tion... of... Mira.. cles... re..union." I nod. "I see, where?"
