Flashback
It was a late night and the team had just packed up and left. Only Haizaki and Akashi stayed behind to clean and lock up. Haizaki finished mopping the floor.
"Ugh why did you volunteer me for this?" Haizaki asks as he looks at Akashi.
"I wanted to talk to you." Akashi said as he put away the mops.
"About?" Haizaki asked as he watched him.
"It's about your role here. You need to quit." Akashi said.
"What?" Haizaki looked at him in shock. "What the fuck are you saying?"
"You need to quit. Your usefulness to this team is coming to an end. Soon Ryota will take your place and embarrass you. I'm telling you ahead so your pride won't be hurt." Akashi looked him but Haizaki felt like Akashi was the one looking down on him.
"You're crazy. I won't quit the team because you said so. So what if you're the captain. Coach makes final decisions not you." Haizaki glared. "You've become overpowered."
"You're just projecting your anger at me for telling the truth. You are weak Haizaki. You bully the other members. You were useful at first but Ryota will be better. With you out of the picture the team will thrive." Akashi chuckled. "Besides who would miss you?" Haizaki's eyes widen and was about to speak when Akashi interrupted. "You bug Shintaro, you make fun of Atsushi, you head butt with Daiki, you fight constantly with Ryota and we don't get along."
"Tetsuya does like me though." Haizaki glared.
"Tetsuya likes everyone. He can't help it. He thinks basketball can bring everyone together if they have fun." Akashi said. "Plus he's spending more time with Daiki. I doubt that in a few weeks Tetsuya would even remember you. Such a shame. If only you worked harder and have been kinder."
"You can't force me to leave bastard." Haizaki glared. "I won't leave the team. Let Ryota try to take me down. Besides I'll just tell Tetsuya all this. Let's see if he'll like you all now."
"I was afraid you wouldn't go quietly. Oh well I've prepared for that." Akashi walked towards the locker room. "Goodbye Shogo."
Flashback end

"When I got home, my mom told me the news that we were going to move because she got a promotion. Promotion my ass. I knew Seijuro had something to do with it. No matter what though I couldn't prove it to my mom." Haizaki looks at him.
Kuroko looks at him with shock. "I can't believe he did that."
"Honestly I never was more scared of him than that moment when my mom told us we were moving. I don't know how long it took him to do that. But I do know something. Seijuro and them. They don't care about you once you're gone. Even if it seems so at first." Haizaki looks down at him.
"I thought they would though. You should see how they are. Come with me." Kuroko says.
"What's the point Tetsuya? Once you go back there is nothing you can do to make them change back. They are horrible people."
"If we had known that you gotten in an accident we would have come. I would have." Kuroko holds his hand.
"That's sweet. I believe you would but not them." Haizaki says. "They don't give a shit about me. They only care about themselves. Not about me and not about you."
"Stop!" They heard a yell as they turn to see a tallish man with black hair and grey-black eyes. He is wearing a white shirt and basketball shorts as he looks straight at them. He is with Reo and Kagami.
"Kagami-kun?" Kuroko looks at him.
"Fuck, you escaped." Haizaki looks at the man.
"Piece of shit what do you mean escape. I was freed no thanks to you. You honestly expect me to not beat the shit out of you for getting me locked up?!" The man went to Haizaki and grabbed him.
"Now now Shuzo~ be nice." Haizaki smirked.
"Umm I'm sorry for what he did." Kuroko says. "I'm sure being locked up isn't good."
"It isn't." The man says.
"His name is Nijimura Shuzo and he is Haizaki's guardian." Kagami says as he watches them.
Nijimura looks at Kuroko. "Trust me you want to go back to earth. He may not show it but Haizaki is hurting badly. The only thing that's keeping him somewhat sane is because you're the only one who talks to him."
"Shut up asshole." Haizaki growls.
"What? Don't want your little friend to know that you visit his house while he sleeps and watches him. How you're the one who cries at the foot of his bed-"
"I SAID SHUT UP!" Haizaki yells as the air gets cold.
"Haizaki-kun." Tetsuya touches his arm only to feel a darkness pass through him. He gasps as Taiga quickly pulls him away.
"Don't touch him. He has a bad spirit. It can affect you." Taiga says.
Haizaki glares at them in pure rage. "You have no right to say those things." He looks at his guardian.
"You have no right to tell this boy that his friends don't care. They care for you too. You just became an ass. You can't accept that they pushed you away. That you're lonely now because of your own doing." Nijimura says as he goes to him. "But you can change that Shogo. You can."
"You don't know anything." Haizaki glares. "You have no clue how it feels. Now leave me and Tetsuya alone. We want to stay here. Right Tetsuya?"
"Haizaki-kun I'll stay." Kuroko says.
"What?! But you can't!" Kagami looks at Kuroko who holds his hand up to Kagami.
"But only if we go see everyone together." Kuroko looks at Haizaki. "You have to see them."
Haizaki looks at him closely. "Why?"
"Because I think if they know you're in a coma too then they'll care. They'll start to change for the better." Kuroko says.
"And how exactly are they going to find out they I'm in a coma?" Haizaki asks.
"I think I know a way." Kuroko says as he holds out his hand to him. "Please Haizaki-kun. If you don't like the results then I'll stay with you here."
Haizaki ponders for a bit before nodding. "Fine." He takes his hand as Haizaki glows a bit. The darkness surrounding him was disappearing.
"What's going on?" Kagami whispers to Reo.
"He's changing back to a pure soul." Reo whispers. "I guess Kuroko is pure enough to make the vengeful spirits change back."
"That's amazing." Kagami whispers as he looks at Kuroko. "Really amazing."
"Come on you two. We'll teleport you both there." Nijimura hit Haizaki's head.
"Ow!" Haizaki held his head. "Asshole! What the hell?!"
"Funny, how you're not there yet?" Nijimura smirks as they teleport back to Kuroko's hospital room.

Hospital
"Why aren't they back yet?" Takao asks as he paces. "They've been gone for so long."
"They'll be back soon. We have to trust that they'll make it in time." Himuro says as he watches the boys.
Soon Reo, Nijimura, Kagami, Haizaki, and Kuroko appeared.
"You're back." Himuro looks and smiles. He quickly hugs Kagami. "And safe."
"Yeah. We all are." Kagami hugs him back.
"Shuzo." Imayoshi smiles. "Welcome back, Captain."
Nijimura chuckles. "Glad to be back, pervert."
"Shuzo!" Takao jumps on him and smiled. "Hey."
"Hey hawk." Nijimura holds him. "Been good?"
"Yeah but mostly because they threaten me." Takao points to Kasamatsu and Imayoshi.
"Of course." Nijimura chuckles.
"Hey." Kasamatsu says. "Glad you're back."
"Good to be back." Nijimura smiles. "It's isn't your fault okay."
"Sure." Kasamatsu looks away a bit.
"It isn't." Nijimura goes to him as he carries Takao. "I'm fine now. That's all that matters." He pats his head and smiled.
"I'm not a baby." He smacks his hand away lightly.
"He missed you." Takao snickers.
"I swear I'm going to throw you out the window." Kasamatsu glares.
"Now boys behave." Reo chuckles.

Kuroko smiles before he looks at Haizaki. He was watching the miracles watch Kuroko's body.
Kuroko holds his hand. "Here let me do something okay."
Haizaki looks down at him and nods. Kuroko goes over to them and watches them.
Kise was sitting next to his body as he strokes his hair. Daiki was laying with him as he held him close. Murasakibara was holding his hand as he drank a vanilla milkshake. Midorima was sitting down watching him. And Akashi was going over Kuroko's chart. Kuroko nods to himself and goes up to Midorima. He leans to his ear and whispers. "Find Haizaki-kun."
Midorima freezes and looks around. "Kuroko?"
Aomine looks at him. "He's over here genius."
"No I just heard him." Midorima says.
"Shintaro maybe you should take a nap." Akashi says.
Kuroko walks over to Murasakibara and leans to his ear. "Find Haizaki-kun."
Murasakibara froze. "Kuro-chin? I heard him! I heard him too!"
"See what you did." Akashi says. "Atsushi, Tetsuya is sleeping. He can't talk."
"But he did. He said to find Haiza-chin." Murasakibara says.
"He said that to me too." Midorima looks at him.
"Has anyone contacted him actually?" Kise asks.
Kuroko goes up to Kise and whispers in his ear, "He's in a coma."
Kise instantly turns white. "Midorimachii...c-can you check the hospital records?"
"Why?" Midorima asks.
"Kurokochii said Haizakichii is in a coma." Kise looks at them with pure fear in his eyes. "You don't think he..."
"You guys are crazy." Aomine says as he rolls his eyes.
"I'll check." Midorima says as he runs out.
Akashi watches them. 'No. It's impossible.'
