Kuroko no Basket One Shots - One More Shot

Fade - Ryouta

This will be the last sad one shot :)

| Kise Ryouta |

Kise admired her. She was always confident, bold, daring. She sparkled in front of the camera and off, her smile comforting yet dazzling. It brought warmth to Kise. Michiko shined where ever she went.

Kise found himself falling in love with her every time he saw Michiko. He wished for the day they could model together, the day they could be together. Kise was preparing to confess, find the perfect time.

But then one day Michiko arrived differently. A sad aura followed her, and an assistant walked beside her, talking quietly. She walked past Kise countless times without acknowledging his presence.

Something was wrong.

The days following that was worse. Michiko became quieter, sadder, and it felt like she was slowly fading from the world.

Her smile was different, and she acted unusually when modelling.
Two weeks later and she was just losing her bubbly personality. Michiko stopped shining, she no longer sparkled where ever she went. Her confident persona disappeared, and Michiko lost her interesting attitude.

Today, Michiko was missing. Kise was worried. Where was she? On break he searched for her every where, until he found her on the roof looking at the view.

"Michiko?" There was no 'chii', Kise was serious.

"Ryouta." He could hear the faint smile in her voice, the voice he had fallen in love with, except it was much more strained, dry.

"What's going on, Michiko?"

"I'm leaving the modelling agency." She stated blunted.

"Huh? Why?!" Kise didn't want to believe it. Michiko was the type of girl that joked around occasional, maybe this was all a joke. But where was the Michiko that he remembered?

"Haven't you noticed, Ryouta." She turned to face him, "I'm blind."
After hearing that, he finally saw the blank look in her eyes. The emotionless eyes that said nothing. Their colour was beginning to fade. How did he not realise it?

"I had an accident and one thing led to another... and now I'm blind. I'm quitting the modelling, to get everything settled. I need to figure out my life right now." His heart was shattering as she Michiko spoke every word.

"I need to find my own colour right now, before anything else." Kise reached out for her, but it felt like he couldn't get to her.

"And, you never know, Ryouta, maybe someday I'll discover that you're the very colour I need for the black world I live in right now. You never know."

And Kise didn't. After Michiko quit, he never saw her again. That sparkle that had once entranced him had finally reached it's end.
