Chapter 5: Marriage

Kuroko's eyes snapped open, the profusion aches from the several joints of his body and burning urges yearning passionately for fresh blood was stuck like a thick lump in his throat. Staring into the clear orbs of the devil's red and yellow heterochromatic eyes, it had taken Kuroko seconds before his brain had finally registered the events had taken place last night.

"Akashi-kun." Kuroko stared into Akashi's clear orbs.

"Good morning, my beloved wife." Akashi graced Kuroko with a smile. Kuroko's body had suffered a time disorientation, feeling the extreme tiredness in the mornings and hyperactivity of being wide awake in the evening. It had been three days since the ceremony. It was hell. Kuroko felt the extreme dryness in his throat, his genesis of the transformed cell from a vampire's poison was yearning for the fresh blood as he stared quietly at Akashi's neck.

Akashi chuckled. "If you need blood, there's no need to hold back. Afterall, you're no longer human, Akashi Tetsuya." Akashi took Kuroko into his arms, persuading and encouraging Kuroko to satiate the hunger of a vampire. The hunger of a vampire was said to be capable of driving devils and humans alike insane.

A newborn who has no clue of the world of vampires do not defy their masters. A clueless Kuroko had felt the extent of his personal control diminishing, the unbearable feelings of the burning sensations driving and overloading Kuroko to the extent that nothing could be described in words. Kuroko penetrated his newly sharp fangs deep into Akashi' neck, feeding on the life- force of the red essence. Kuroko had retracted his fangs and took a clearer view of himself.

"How are you feeling, my love?" Akashi had smirked, earning a punch in his gut. Ignoring the pain, Akashi pulled Kuroko into a kiss.

Kuroko turned away. Faint rosette colors of the blush had painted Kuroko's pale cheeks, shying from the devil master in embarrassment and denial.

"You can't run away, Tetsuya." Akashi gently fingered the pale skin of his neck, slowly trailing to the seal Kuroko's pale skin now bear between the spines of the nervous system which was located at the back of his neck. "This seal is the mark of the Akashi clan, Tetsuya. The world will see you as my kin, someone who has abandoned humanity, a traitor of their kin."

Awakened as a vampire, Kuroko can no longer return to the human lands, Akashi had made sure of that. Akashi's seal had marked Kuroko, binding him to the Akashi clan, cursed by the blood of the devils, Kuroko had been snatched away from the grasp of humans. Kuroko was taken and pulled nearer to spiritual beings, was carefully nurtured far reach away from the evil filth of humans, a small spark had begun between two extraordinary individuals. Akashi had put his trust in Kuroko, believing he was someone who would become his life partner, just like the elders of the Akashi clan had prophesied. Kuroko's arrival in the lands of Teiko had connected the fate of destiny. Kuroko who was carefully raised by the people of Teiko, Akashi had made sure he would be unable to survive outside of Teiko, sealing Kuroko's will and motivation to leave Teiko one day, transforming Kuroko's affectionate love for him into romantic love. The result was being engaged and married to the almighty Akashi Seijuurou.

Time was necessary for Kuroko to readapt into the environment, readjusting his biological clock, getting used and controlling to his newly gain powers, Akashi had assigned Aomine Aomine and Kise to be his instructors, just like before. One of the few reasons Akashi had selected them as Kuroko's instructors were...... both Aomine and Kise had too much time on their hands. Murasakibara had once teased them for doing nothing and playing basketball all day on days Akashi had departed for the human lands for business as the devil master of Teiko. Akashi had also ordered data specialists, such as people like Kise who are infiltration veterans making sure Teiko is always victorious. Kise belongs to a squad where it consisted of members who specialize in gathering information and infiltration. Kise was the leader of that squad.
