In Between Shadows Re-Written Version

[3] KURO AND SHIRO?!

~~

"RUUUN!" The civilians scream mayhem, as hurried footsteps and cries could be heard from every part of the city as the two Type Apocalypses were there. But none of the civilians seemed to be devoured by the black winds that were caressing their backs and faces nor where they are being controlled into mindless zombies by the white winds. They heard a whoosh as the sky turned red and all the black winds continued to settle into one place creating a huge ball-like structure. Same as the Shiro Apocalypse which started to form a huge ball as well. If they knew better, it looked like they were looking at the balance of Yin and Yang with black winds trying to penetrate Shiro and white winds trying to penetrate Kuro. The Civilians had completely evacuated and all that's left was the Ateliers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the safety of the city itself.

"Setsuya! Why'd you summon Shiro?! You know what will happen to you!" Kuroko was shouting into her head as her face flushed in a feverish rage as she held Shiro up. She knew she couldn't control Shiro that much especially that the freaking Shiro was a freaking boy. Yes, it was a boy. Nope don't ask just to deal with it.

"I know Big Brother... I know..." Came Setsuya's hushed reply as she tried to manipulate the two Apocalypses into going out of the city grounds. Even if she did have to sacrifice her life along with saving this city it was okay for her.

"Stop it! You know he's a bit temperamental!"

"You know I know that already Big Brother... If you didn't come down, then I wouldn't have to resort to this right?" She replied hastily as sweat dropped from her smooth cheeks to her chin when suddenly a big blast came from Kuro and it suddenly compressed into a smaller ball, same with Shiro who seems to be mimicking its movements knowing that Kuro Apocalypse was much stronger than Shiro.

Both balls descended into the city plaza and crashed with a big bang. All Ateliers have surrounded it with Akashi and the GOM along with Setsuya in the middle. They all waited with baited breaths for the winds were continuously receding from their host...

"Nee. Kagami-kun why do you like controlling people huh? You even used my sister to summon you. Do you want me to hand chop you again?" A small, emotionless voice said as a twinge of teal blue hair was seen from the black winds.

"Oi! It's not my fault that Setsuya wanted my Arcana pen at least I didn't almost kill her this time around!" A brash, manly voice said as a pair of split eyebrows could be seen from the white winds.

"I'm going to take off your split eyebrows Kagami." The other voice said as the winds finally receded, and the red almost blood-like sky returned to be a plain winter day.

"Big Brother..." Setsuya huffed as she staggered to go near the tealette whose eyes a color of blue skies, whose hair was as teal as the rising ocean, whose skin, a gentle snow and whose face showed no emotion at all turned towards her and she suddenly rushed into his arms cradling the vanilla scent she knew so much of. He didn't have to go down from Kuro Apocalypse but because of what she said, he was going to suffer.

"Tetsuya..." a voice from their side said as the tealette looked around. He saw familiar faces and some unfamiliar ones, but he locked eyes with pure shining gold and red blood cold.

"Kurokochii!" "Kuroko!" "Tetsu!" "Kuro-chin!" various voices shouted and he, Kuroko Tetsuya, offered them a small smile.

"Hello... I'm back... Aomine-kun, Kise-kun, Midorima-kun, Murasakibara-kun, and Akashi-kun..." Kuroko said as all the GOM could do was surge forward and join in the brother-sister hug. They had missed the tealette, whom they owe their lives and their love to. (Ohmayghad it's a harem, oh well Kuroko is the ultimate UKE anyways!) (Kuroko: Author-san don't be like that I can top too!) (Akashi: Oh really Tetsuya? We shall see about that) (Kuroko: //blushes >////<)

"Can't breathe" Kuroko said as he patted all their backs and they were suddenly lifted into the air. It was known to them that Kuroko has more than just the Arcanas by his side. Kuroko signaled a finger and they all gently went down to the ground.

"All right, all right enough with the reunion! For now, since the city is safe and both Type Apocalypses are with us, we shall put them under custody of the GOM. Nobody can protect this city but them." Nijimura said and all the Ateliers saluted but not before casting wary eyes at the two newcomers. After all, they didn't expect Labyrinths to maintain their human forms. And what's more shocking is that the strongest Atelier was one of the strongest Labyrinths. That was something that brought shivers to their spine.

Many questions lingered in their minds and they still feel that the two type apocalypses should not stay in this city or anywhere near civilization itself, but their more conscious side said that they're still humans.

"Kagami-kun. Let's go..." Kuroko said to the owner, or more like the host of the Shiro apocalypse and Kagami nodded at him as they started walking to the institution. They knew that once they step into that building, their lives are going to get harder.

But they knew they had to sacrifice everything they have.

For the sake of HUMANITY

But before all this happened?

Why didn't they try to help?

Why'd they make people suffer for the powers that they possessed?

Why'd they let people die?
