Akashi P.O.V

Running, That's all I can do, I run and run and run. Laughter filling the darkness. I don't know where I'm going I'm just running. How long have I been here? Will I even come out? It feels like I'm getting weaker. NO I don't want to die, Not like this. 

"Akashi" I hear, I spin around, Nothing. "AKASHI" I hear louder. I drop the light, Falling to my knees, Covering my ears. 

"No, You're not real, Go away." Laughter gets louder as my throat feels like it's closing. I can't stop myself from crying. "GO AWAY" I scream into the darkness. The laughter just gets louder I rock back and forth on my knees. When Did I become so weak? Tetsuya..... He'll come and help me, I'm sure

"YOU JUST PUSH EVERYONE AWAY!"

"HE WON'T HELP YOU" 

I panic at the voices, The images of our last conversations flooding my mind, I attacked him and He didn't fight back. The laughter gets louder and louder. Making my entire body shake violently. I'm thrown against a wall. When did that get there? I cry out in pain as I fall again. Coughing up something I assume is blood. The pain keeps coming. I stare into the darkness. 

"SOMEBODY HELP ME" I yell 

Kuroko P.O.V

After yet another argument with my father we all go into the med room, Staring at Akashi. He's even paler and he keeps groaning in what I assume in pain. I sit on the chair. Without my father knowing I was setting everything up for me to travel and help him. 

"Ho-" My father starts 

"Like you care" I snap, Earning a exhausted glare from my mother, Akashi groans again 

"He wont last much longer, He'll keep getting hurt if I keep him alive longer" Sumairu says, Before I can say another word, Akashi Groans and whispers 

"Tetsuya" He's getting weaker, He coughs and thick blood comes up with it. I panic shooting up to help my brother. I sigh angrily and give my father the 'I'm going to do this anyway so you might as well tell me yes' Look earning me a sigh. 

"Fine" He says, I smile "But you BETTER come back,"

"Thank you" I say, He smiles back at me, 

"What if we're attacked" Momoi says, I look down, Before smiling

"Not to worry," I say walking around "I'll have him take over" 

"Him?" Riko asks, 

"My demon, Call him 'M'." They look confused "I have the ability, If I get too hurt in battle, To 'Switch' It basically means he takes control, Changing my appearance slightly. He'll protect you."

"That's why you have the sword" Kagami says "It's his", I nod and smile. 

"We Don't switch it often" I walk around to the other side of Akashi, "But when we do, Know its bad. It means I'm near death. Never mind that" I say shaking my head. "Fair warning" I look up to Kagami and Aomine. "No arguments when he's in control, You think I'M bad when I'm angry or stressed." 

"What would happen?" Aomine asks A low chuckle echoes in the room, 

"The darkest layer of hell would be like a spa compared to where I'D put you" Both faces pale 

"Simple. DON'T piss him off and he'll be fine" I smile, 

"Wait" Hyuuga says "If HE is here then" I smile 

"Yes, It means I cannot use the shadows considering our connection would be temporarily broken. It is when we're the strongest yet the weakest, In these terms anyway." They look confused, I sigh "Basically I cannot use abilities in this world, No one can"
