Runaway blue

Chapter three

《Hello, how's it going,
Runaway blue?
We said we're coming,
We're here for you.

We're taking you soon,
So don't escape.
In this full moon,
You will break.

Can't you see, we won?
Your battle is lost,
In this rising sun,
        You'll be our host.》

"Domo minna-san" Came the ever emotionless voice of the phantom, startling most of the teens forming a circle and some passers.
The different names they gave him being called along the bone-crushing hug of the only female in their group was his greeting.
Only the red haired captain of theirs replied with a proper hello, but that was only to be expected by him.
"You, don't you scare us like that you moron!!!" The tanned 'beast', as he gave away that aura, yelled, once he had calmed down and, as soon as the girl let go of him, grabbed him in a playful headlock.
.
Playful for him. It was torture for the younger, or so it seemed.

"You little kitty, you!!!" The larger of the two said in a loud voice, uncaring of the glares he was recieving from passer by's, as he started moving his fist in a vertical motion over the other's fluffy, fluffy hair.
"A-Aomine-kun… can't… b…reathe…" the owner of the abused hair chocked out, unintentionally grabbing the arm around his neck with his right hand, thrashing about once the other loosened his hold and freeing himself, not noticing his friends' worried expression.

"Arigatou, Aomine-kun. I really thought you intended to kill me."  He said rubbing his head.
"Tetsu!!" The taller male, Aomine yelled, just barely startling the smaller.
"H-hai, Aomine-kun?" The tanned teen, quickly, but gently, grabbed his right wrist and holding it up for everyone to see. "W-what happened to you?!" His bandaged hand seemed like a horror movie to them, as their faces showed.
He, however, didn't understand why the were so worried.
"It's nothing, Aomine-kun." He answered, freeing his wrist from the grasp. Aomine looked like he wanted to ask more, or yell out demands to know the truth, but was cut short when the red haired teen stepped up.

"Tetsuya."
"Hai, Akashi-kun." The answer was smooth, immidiate, as if it was rehearsed thousands of times.
"What happened?" He questioned, more like demanded.
"Nothing happened, Akashi-kun." He answered.
"You're lying." He stated.
"I'm not." He countered.
"Tetsuya." His patience was running thin.
"Akashi-kun." His confidence didn't waver.
"Tetsuya!" So, so impatient.
"What is it Akashi-kun?" So, so devilish.
"Tell me what happened to your hand!" Endgame.
The tealnette sighed. Who knew they would make it this big? "I hurt it during practice, Akashi-kun." Akashi hummed in understanding. "And why didn't you tell me about it earlier?"
"I had yet to start practice, Akashi-kun." He lied. He missed practice cause of it! Akashi seemed unconvinced, but let it go with a 'it better not hurt.' none the less.

During all this, the rest of their group watched in amazement, trying to hide their snickers behind their hands.
A terrible way to try, as, as soon as the two finished their 'argument' with the tealnette's 'it doesn't.' Akashi turned to them with his infamous glare.
Fearing for their lives, all exept the giant, who was happily munching on his snacks, and the greenette, whose pride wouldn't allow him to, begged for forgiveness.

"Kuroko." The greenette gave a curt nod to the tealnette.
"Domo, Midorima-kun." He replied.
"Kuro-chin~ Want some~?" The purple haired giant offered some snacks to him, which he politely took.
"Arigatou, Murasakibara-kun."
"Alright, let's go." Akashi's voice grabbed everyone's attention and they all walked inside  Maji burger.

The meeting was completely random. Yet, it was enough to satisfy him. It was pleasant, it was noisy… it was just like the old times, the Teikou days.
It brought a smile to his face.
Seeing them smiling and laughing with each-other. Pulling pranks and not caring for others around them.
Being… themselves.
.
It was enough to take his mind off things...
.
.
.
To distract him.

"Excuse me?" How could he not notice the shadows looming over him? How could he not have seen him?!
"You?!" They had a deal! "You weren't suppossed to be here!!!" Yet he turned on his word. "Why are you here?!" He warned him!
"Why would he send you now?" And he didn't care.

"Kuroko Tetsuya. Please come with us." The man said calmly. Avoiding everyone of his questions. "Quietly." He added.
The whole group was looking at him now, expecting an answer that was never to come.
"And who might you be?" The red haired devil asked, taking over the situation. He'd question the phantom later, right now though, he had to see to this.
The stranger pulled out a badge from his pocket and showed it to them.
Kuzo Haizawa.
"From the police department?" Aomine asked, seemingly in a daze. "Wait," he said looking at his former shadow. "What would you want with Tetsu?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out." The man's eyes then turned at Kuroko. "Now then, let's-"

"NO!!! Tealnette yelled, with his weight on his arms, throwing himself on the other side of the table that they were in, smashing plates with his foot and sending them to the police officer. Making like this, his escape. Leaving in his wake, rage filled teens and an alarmed man.
"Kuroko!!!" He yelled.
He hadn't meant to panic the boy.

"After him!!!" One of his men said, thus snapping the others back to reality. They all left to go after the boy, while he himself stayed behind to give a last glance at the confused teens.
"He's in for a lot of trouble if he keeps doing this." Murmured under his breath, with the intent to let the group hear or not, they heard each word exatly, even more confused than before.

Ok.
Ahem.
This chapter isn't dedicated to anyone since no one got it.
So sorry.
Tetsuya doesn't have a twin and he is not an infamous basketball player.
But!!!

I leave you a gift for trying.
Tetsuya has an older brother.
Can you guess his personality?

Please try.

Kuroko: Arigatou for the milkshakes minna-san.
But I want more... pretty please?
