Runaway blue

Chapter 5 part 2

WARNING: Feels up ahead.

"You lost, admit it!" His father said, now with hardened eyes.
"You lost as well!!" He stood his ground. "We had a deal!" The teen reminded him. "And you broke it." 'Liar' remained unsaid- unyelled.
The older's teal eyes widened.
"Tetsuya I-" he swallowed. "I didn't…"
"O really?" He moved closer to the man, as much as he didn't want to, looked up at his eyes coldly. "Then who did?"

"I did…" Came the soft reply. But it wasn't his father's voice… no. It was…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let's cut to the chase…
My name is Kuroko Tetsuya, a normal high-schooler, basketball freak. A shadow in game. A phantom in real life…
A fake.
.
I'm a runaway blue… a runaway prince per say.

My father is the king of Japan. He's a kind person who people blindly trust.
And he's a... murderer.

But shhh, that's a secret only the royal family knows.
Honestly, I don't even know if we'd know if I hadn't seen him that night.
When he…

Killed her…
.
.
.
Let's start from the beggining ok? So that you won't get confused.

The Kuroko's have ruled Japan for centuries. Ever since the first king, the kingdom has had a more than a good economy. The country has been in good hands as the Kuroko's were known for wisdom and kindness. Their descendands followed their former ruler's footsteps and helped the country grow.
The Kuroko's always had a similiar appearance, sky blue hair and pale skin, hidden strengh and absolute confidence.
My grandfather, Kuroko Tomoka, along with my late grandmother gave birth to twins, my father and uncle, Takeshi and Tenaki. My father, as he proved to be worthy, took over the throne after my grandfather retired and, when the time came, married my mother, Kuroko Akita.
They gave birth to my older brother, by three years, and me.

We were a happy family… or so I thought. After my grandmother passed away I couldn't sleep at night and often wandered around the mansion.
Almost every night I heard my family argue.
.
It'd be random.
Sometimes my father and uncle, sometimes my mother and father, sometimes grandfather with my father and uncle.

It continued so but no one ever saw me staring in a corner. No one knew I knew.
And they were good at hiding it.
They acted so normal during the day, as if the chaos at night never happened.

But one night, it got too far…

I was taking my usual stroll around the mansion when I saw father and mother arguing in the ballroom.
I don't remember what they were arguing about, I don't think I even understood their words. I just knew I had to stop them.
It had to be stopped that night for I had enough.
.
.
.
Before I could utter a word though… I saw father's hands surrounding my mother's neck…
.
.
.
I…
.
.
I froze at the spot. I didn't know what to do even as I saw my mother struggle against father's hold.
I saw him take her last kiss, before taking her last breath away.

I saw him kill her.

'Mommy…?' I remember whispering, getting his attention from her to me.
'Oh?' The monster cooed before smirking and approaching me, taking out a gun and putting his index finger over his lips.

Once he reached me, he ruffled my hair and walked out.

I snapped from my daze and ran over to mother. I remember screaming her name as I ran to her. Perhaps there was still a chance for her to be alive?
I didn't find out though…
.
.
.
Because he shot her…
.
In the middle of her beautiful golden eyes.
.
Before I could even… blink.

I turned, in the most robotic movement I had ever made, to see him smiling at me, his dark blue eyes shining with amusement and love.
He mouthed some words my brain couldn't register and left in the shadows.

I stood there frozen, as my mother's blood reached my feet, licking it and making it red.
I stood there frozen, as the silver tiles bathed in her blood.
I stood there frozen, as morning came to shine all that red.
As the ballroom's doors opened to reveal my father… no… to reveal the monster, with a damn worried look on!

What happened next was a blur.
There was a lot of shouting, red and goodbyes.
I remember my uncle leaving the country.
My brother changing and leaving.
My father playing the victim!
My grandfather wondering where he went wrong.

I snapped…

That's when I had my first breakdown.

After being silent and unresponsive for days I finally understood what happened.
I understood that mother wasn't coming back.
I understood the world was nothing like what was told in my mother's stories.
It wasn't a fairytale.
.
.
It was a nightmare…

It broke people.

I screamed and thrashed around. I hurt everyone and broke everything.

I broke my hand that time and damaged my head.
It took me three months to get out of the hospital and three weeks to finally be healed.

I was 7 at the time.
And I decided.

I ran away when I turned 10.
I met Ogiwara-kun and learned basketball.
I found freedom.
.
But it was short lived.
I was caught after three months.

I ran away again at the age of 11. I managed to get in junior high, Teiko middle.
I managed to stay for three years this time.
Before they caught on, I was forced to disappear at the end of my third year then.

I tried again, with more will than ever. To save my friends and make up to Ogiwara-kun.
I ran away after three months to enter Seirin high school.
This time, I changed my profile at the documents. I was still me to the teachers and students, but I didn't exist in the records.
I thought I would have a chance of survival this time.
.
.
.
I was wrong.
They found me… sooner than I thought, for they had approached Kagami-kun after our loss with Too High, where Aomine-kun beat us hard, but chose to watch me from afar until I met the end of my purpose.

They approached me after we defeated Akashi-kun at the finals.
Father wanted to make his move right there and then, but luckily for me Captain and Kagami-kun interrupted him at that moment.
I made a deal with him.
He'd give me more time for me to completely dissappear from my friends' lives.
He agreed.

I stalled him for at least until summer, where after we defeated Wabberwock, school returned with it's hard work.
Where Kagami-kun confessed how glad he was my father allowed me to stay with them.
I had never been so betrayed in my life…

Later that day I met the end of my freedom.
They came, and took me back.
Back to my prison of a home.
Back to him.
The monster.

But…

It wasn't him the one who had broken our deal.
It was…

"Ojī-san…?"

The only person I could ever find comfort in.
The only support I ever had...

Betrayed me…

This is where I found out that Kagami-kun's lies were a bee's sting in front of my grandfather's attack.

"Why…?"

Whoo, I am so done.
Joking, the story'd make no sense to end here!
😂
I'll go see to the next part while you guys
Enjoy!!!
