Runaway blue

Chapter two

《Running is pointless
When you're found out
You'll become mindless
And soon break down

Try to escape
In endless darkness
Careful don't break
And shatter the lifeless

You don't have a clue
That you're drowning
They're coming for you
So start counting》

Sleeping in class is something he could get away with, and the need to do just that was too strong. But after yesterday's 'talk', sleep was the last thing he had in mind, no matter how tired and sleep deprived he was. He envied Kagami-kun in times like this.

A loud bang, followed by a grunt of pain and a howl of suprise echoed in the classroom.
Well, he didn't envy him that much.
"Detention!!!"
"I hope you come out alive Kagami-kun." The boy whispered in the other's ear, making him jump in suprise before turning to face the male.
"Kuroko!" He took a moment to catch his breath before talking again. "How come you aren't feeling sleepy after all we went through?" The teen said, refering to the big match they had two days prior. Who would've thought, the six of them once again, along with him and their partners in addition.
The boy, Kuroko, blinked once at him, then, as monotone as ever, answered.
"I slept last night as soon as I went home. Which would be at 8 PM Kagami-kun." It was a lie.
Kagami scowled.
"I know that! You think I didn't?! Heck, I even overslept!!!" The shorter boy blinked once more.
"I am aware of that Kagami-kun. I was here when you slammed the doors open and caused an earth-quake."
"O-oi!!!" Deep shades of red covered Kagami's face, matching his dual colored hair and hiding his split eyebrows.
"KAGAMI!!!"
"OH COME ON!!!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kuroko!" The tall, muscular teen caught up to the said male in a hurry. "Man don't disappear on me like that! Coach will kill me you know!"
He said, not noticing the displeased look on the younger's face, then started talking about an entirely different matter. This continued until he said something troubling to Kuroko.
So troubling he thought he heard wrong.
"W-what?" He stopped causing the other to stop too.
"Aw don't give me that look. I know you heard me." The light of their duo said nonchalantly, as if it was no big deal. To him maybe it wasn't, but to the shadow...
Then again, the soon-to-be traitor, repeated the same thing.

Students passed by, hiding their conversation in thin air. Too bad they couldn't hide it from the two.
"How could you Kagami-kun?!"
"What did I do? It's not like I sold you or anything!" The taller bellowed, towering over the other, his face morphed into an angry scowl, as if to kill the other just by looking at him.
"You're a bastard Kagami-kun." The other yelled, taking two steps back, fists clenched tight, just barely managing to keep a straight face. "You should've known that I would disapprove if I never talked to you about it!!!"
"Well sorry, okay!!! I still think I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't! You're just a dumb, stupid idiot to not realise that!!! And you know what? You're just a useless player the team doesn't need!!!" Kagami yelled, realising just a second later what he spurt out.
Eyes wide in shock and mouth agape, he immediately regretted his words once he saw the other's face.
Complete devastation.
"Well isn't that nice to hear?" The shadow said, not looking up to meet his eyes. Not giving away a second chance. "If that's so, then please excuse me." With that, he dissappeared in a blink of the eye, leaving the red tiger alone, in killer thoughts.
"God damn it!!!" He screamed punching the wall.
Why did he say that? Now that they should've been closer than ever no less!

The red haired teen would've been laughing (even if it wouldn't've been the right thing to do) if he saw what the other teen was doing.

In a basketball court near the school, his 'counter-part' was having his own fit of rage.
On a whole different level, mind you.
"Argh!!!" He screamed as his fist made contact with the hard metal, bruising his fragile, pale hand. Regardless, he continued hitting it nonstop, not satisfied until a loud crack echoed in his ears, giving him pain alongside pleasure, finally being able to stop.
He let his hair fall on his eyes as hard pants escaped from him. Then a sickening laugh was heard in the empty court.
He pulled on his hair, kneeling in front of the hoop, letting his forehead rest on it as he started hitting it again and again, and again, his sobs mixing in with his laughter. Incohorent words in between them.
After a minute or two his phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out with his uninjured hand and answered.

"Hello?"
"Tetsuya," the unmistakable voice of his ex-captain met his ears.
"Domo, Akashi-kun." He answered, voice just as monotone as ever, that judging by the chuckle that followed the statement as well.
"As monotone as always I see." He shrugged even if the other couldn't see him.
"I try."
"Well then. I'll get straight to the point. I'm in town so I decided to call the others as well. How would you like to meet up with us?"
"Murasakibara-kun?"
"He's here as well. What do you say, Tetsuya?"
"Of course I'd love to, Akashi-kun."
"Good, see you at Maji after school."
"Alright, see you, Akashi-kun." He ended the call, briefly wondering if his friend would be upset, but brushing it off as just nothing.
Standing up, he walked over to a forgotten basket ball, dribbling it for a bit then formlessly shooting it into the hoop, landing a clear shot.
"Well then, better get this fixed up." He murmured before taking his black uniform and leaving the court, unaware of terrified eyes watching him in awe and disbelief.

"Kuroko-kun?!"
O-oh, looks like your secret just got out, phantom player.

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

Meanwhile, a man sat in a dark room, talking with someone on the phone.
"Yes tomorrow, no mistakes. I suppose you know of the consequences should he be harmed in any way? Good, I expect you not to fail me." He ended the call, teal orbs shining in the dark as a smile graced his features.
"Everything's set into place, it's a matter of time now, Tetsuya..."

SNEAK PEAK!!!

"Domo minna-san"

"Tetsu!!"

"Excuse me?"
"You?! You weren't suppossed to be here!!!"

"Kuroko!!!"

"After him!!!"

What did I just write? 😱
Anyways, this chapter is dedicated to @SaniyaMoosvi
Yes the man is someone who Tetsu once trusted and it does have to do a bit with basketball. And no, Tetsu's definetly NOT an assassin.
😂
Well, same game here, what do you think will hapen next? And who's this man in the end?
Don't forget, every comment you leave means a vanilla milkshake for KUROKO-KUN!!!

Kuroko: Please leave as many guesses as possible!!! I'm begging you minna-san!
(Bows 90 degrees)

Well see ya next time!!!
