Chapter 06: A lost coin can change your destiny

Momoi held the little baby embroiled in clothes. The baby cried out loud, his pinch voice echoed through the room which was silent.

"Won't Akashi come back?" Midorima pulled Momoi's skirt

"E-eh?" she looked down to face the boy, desolated by the situation.

"Eh~ so irritating, Akachin crying as a baby!" Murasakibara covered his ears

"Eh~ssu" Kise's eyes glimmered "Let me see him! Let me see! I want to hold Akashicchi too!" he jumped repeatedly

"Shut Up!" Aomine punched Kise on face

"Ah! Don't fight!" Sakurai tried to stop the two little boys

"Shut up you too, your apologetic mushroom!" the little's navy haired face was furious

"Ieeek! I'm sorry!"

"You three, stop it already!" Imayoshi told in a scolding tone "Cant' you see…? This situation is…"

The air tensed up. Momoi shook gently the baby on her arms, trying to calm him down. The baby stopped crying and got calmer, sleeping.

Everyone was at lost for words. The worst situation was happening now. The former captain of Teikou, Akashi Seijuurou has turned into a baby. He could no longer speak or even walk alone. And at this rate, he would surely disappear from the world. And so would the others which were cursed.

"Sei-chan is…" Reo trembled "I can't put up with this!" he fainted

"Reo-nee! Hang on!" Kotarou helped his friend

A silence of despair fell around the people reunited on that living room. But at the time they were trying to assimilate all the misfortune that the curse brought, the doorbell pushed them aside from despair.

Kagami rushed to the door, expecting to see the Sorcerer with some magical solution to that problem. The hope wasn't' dead yet, GoM members were still alive and he wanted to help them all. The same feeling was shared by those friends reunited there. They all wanted the well fare of their companions.

"Gah-" Kagami growled in surprised

"Hello!"

The two individuals standing at the door front were Takao and Miyaji. And the one who responded Kagami's sound was Takao, greeting with a bright smile.

"We came to see our ace's state" Miyaji said bored

"We're not on a good situation here…" Himuro said appearing right beside Kagami

"Hum? There's a lot of people here…" Takao peeked inside the house

"…"Momoi shook gently the boy on her arms and looked at the newcomers.

"Whose baby is this?" Takao was confused "Don't tell it's a child from some of those guys?" he was fazed by his own thoughts

Kagami and Himuro exchanged a worried glance.

"Did something happened before we got here?" Miyaji raising his brows, perplexed

"Akashi turned into a baby."

The one who spoke was little Midorima, that was walking between the big teenagers at the door.

"He can't play with us anymore… He only cries." He wore a sulky expression

"Ah-"

Takao sweatdropped and glanced to the teenagers who consented with their heads.

"I don't even want to listen about how he turned into a baby" Miyaji put a hand on his forehead

"It will happen with all of them if we don't release their curse…" This time, Kasamatsu talked while holding an energetic Kise on his arms.

"Seriously… That scary captain of Rakuzan… Using diapers…" Takao gulped frightened by the curse's power.

"…" Momoi sighed and handed the little Akashi to Sakurai

"W-wait, what are you-"he didn't want to hold the baby but she interrupted his speech

"Just hold him a little bit… I'll call Hikaru-san once more!" she took her cellphone to do the task.
Sakurai was trembling afraid of dropping the baby, he had never held a baby before, and since it was Akashi, even as a baby, Sakurai was afraid the boy would show some scary face or something like that.

"He doesn't answer!" She tried to call again, but Imayoshi touched on her shoulder, saying:

"Momoi, he said he would be here in no time, right? The only thing we can do for now is wait for him, since we don't know how to release this curse…"

"…"

Everyone felt in silence, with concern stamped all over their faces. It was when the doorbell rang once again, and Momoi rushed to answer the door. Finally…

"Hikaru-san!" she smiled

"Momoi-dono! How are they?" the sorcerer asked in concern and entered the house.

His eyes almost pulled out when he saw the kids and the sleeping baby on Sakurai's arms. A tall man entered the house after Hikaru, probably the friend the sorcerer told about…

"How…"

"It's a long story, but, before that, please, tell us how to release this curse!" Momoi clasped her hands together and begged.

"Just spit everything you know, we're desperate here!" Kagami frowned almost shouting to the sorcerer.

"Y-yes, I see… Well, the curse cannot be broken here… Juts follow me! I'll explain everything along the way!"

Hikaru ordered and exchanged a glance with his friend who was accompanying him, then without any other option left, all the teenagers took the children and the baby along, to break the terrible curse.

They went by foot, almost running, and the children were following. Little Kise was embracing his captain's leg; Little Aomine was pulling Imayoshi's hand to walk faster; Little Murasakibara was holding Himuro's hand, and with one finger of the other hand on his mouth; the little green haired boy was sitting on Takao's shoulders, playing with the teen's hair; Kagami was carrying Kuroko with one arm, and Momoi was carrying Akashi since the members of Rakuzan refused to carry Akashi because it would be "a trauma" and they kept saying they would never look at their captain on the same way if they carried him as a baby.

"Well, we will get there, to the temple, and we will purify the curse… My fried here will help and I will need the help of you all too"

"If we can be useful…" Himuro said frantically

"You will be, because the purification ceremony requires, at least, ten people to perform it"

"Wow! Why does it need so many people?" Takao was impressed

"… It's a dangerous curse…" Hikaru's face darkened "If something was to go the wrong way…"

Everyone felt a chill down their spine, and their thought was the same:

"I don't want to do it!"

"But, what's this coin?"Kasamatsu asked vexed

"It's part of an ancient cursed treasure*"

*No, I did not copy from Caribbean Pirates (giggles)

"Yeah, we now that already, what we want to know is, what's the curse? Why did it worked differently on the two times they were cursed?"

"Because it's a complex curse, and every time they were cursed, it was by a different way… First, it was because the blondie there drowned it on a sacred fountain, and then it caused you to become all adults (though only in appearance); the second time, the curse worked when the blondie washed the coin with Pocari sweat, until there, I was sure that the curse was the type that activates with liquids, but then, they became children and this time, their personalities were also affected, that means, it gets stronger every time, and as they had already been under the curse, it works even stronger on them. So, in order to release this youngsters, we need to purify the curse, because if we try to wash the coin or dry it, we can't calculate the results…"

"And we will need their blood for the ritual!"

"Wha-" Momoi stopped immediately "I won't let you pick Tetsu-kun's or Aka-chan's blood" she shielded the boy on her arms.

"I Like red, it's a beautiful color" Midorima said with innocence

"I want to see! I want to see the prufication* ritual!" Kise jumped energetically

*A/N: Yes he is misspelling words.

"I won't give my blood to herbivores, I will take their blood!" Aomine growled

"Hey, hey, this is not something a child should be saying…" Imayoshi patted the navy haired head.

They started discussing because of the blood part of the purification ceremony.

"C-calm down!" Hikaru almost shouted nervously "He is exaggerating, it's not a donation of blood or something like that genre. We only need a drop of it to complete the ritual…"

"A drop? E-even so…" Sakurai pitied the little boys.

And, the discussion started once again. While they were shouting at each other and making noise on the middle of the streets, someone dropped the cursed coin. Murasakibara, with one finger on his mouth saw that. He looked, curious at the coin and slowly let Himuro's hand to pick the coin. He took it on his tiny hands and observed, with his big eyes, as if hypnotized by the object.

Then, the other children gathered around him (except for the baby Akashi which was sleeping soundly in Momoi's arms).

"Is that a coin?" Kise was looking at the object in many angles

"Can we buy something with this?" Aomine smiled

"I want candies…" the little Kuroko stated flatly.

"I wanna too!" Kise raised his hands

"So, will we buy candies?" Murasakibara asked "I want!"

"Who will buy? They won't listen to us now…" the navy haired looked to the adults who were discussing their matters.

"I can buy!" Midorima offered "I've seen they do it many times, we just need to ask… And people will think we are cute and they will give us dis… Discontont*"

*A/N: He mean "discount"

"So, let's go!" the blonde raised his arms happily "Let's buy with discontont"

"But, where?" the blue-haired little boy asked

"It's easy!" Aomine answered proudly "There's a candy store on the other side of the streets!" he pointed

And now, between those children and a candy store, there was only a street, only one separating them from their dream world. But we all know how dangerous the world can be for three year old children.

"Let me give the coin!" The little navy-haired tried to push the object from Midorima's hand.

"No! I want to give!" The bespectacled boy held firmly the coin

"No! I wanna, I wanna!" Kise started to flounce on the ground.

"I'll!"

The green haired was still fighting with the tanned boy for the coin, and both of them tried to push the cursed object to their side, then…

The coin slipped from the green haired's hands, and the two boys who were fighting got astonished. Without thinking twice, the green haired ran…

Some seconds ago, the "adults" were discussing what to do. Takao, Sakurai and Kotarou were simply watching the conversation between the others, tired of listening to that (and Sakurai was trembling afraid of being punished if he interrupted the ruckus). It was when they heard the sound of the children's voices. The three immediately looked at them.

Takao, Sakurai and Kotarou saw when the green haired was about to jump on the middle of the street. Takao was fast to act, he ran and jumped, holding the boy before his feet could reach the asphalt.

"The coin!" Little Midorima cried out loud!

Then, Takao's eyes almost popped out, as he could identify the coin on the street and before he could even ask the green haired what he was talking about, he saw a truck passing right above the coin, destroying it.

"Ah-" that was the only sentence his lips let escape.

All the boys started crying loudly and everyone looked at them.

"W-what happened?" Kasamatsu asked startled.

"A-hahahahaha" Takao was laughing forcedly.

"Calm down… Calm down" Momoi tried to make the boys stop crying. "What happened" She kneeled, holding Akashi with one arm and patting Kises's head with the other hand

"T-the discountount…"

"Wha-?" Kagami was confused.

"Haha…" Takao stopped laughing and his face turned dark "T-the coin…" he pointed to the street.

There were little pieces of the coin. And other car just passed on it and smashed even more.

"GYYAHHHHHH!"

The eyes of all adults popped out! And despair born inside their hearts.

"W-w-what do we do now?!" Kagami messed his own hair.

"H-Hikaru-san…" Momoi looked at him "What comes now?"

"…"

The sorcerer was astounded and looked at his friend.

"Well… We were supposed to use that cursed coin on the ritual…" his friend was also lost

"Then…"

A moment of silence.

"GYAAAHHH! WE'RE LOST!" Kagami shouted

The teenagers got nervous.

"W-well, does it mean they will stay as children forever?" Imayoshi asked worriedly

"I don't know… I've never seen a case were the object used on a ceremony was broken before using it on the real ceremony!" Hikaru answered ironically.

"But…" Himuro frowned

"Hey, it doesn't mean they will…" Kotarou stepped back

"Have we lost our aces?" Miyaji was flabbergasted

"More than aces… Our friends…" Kasamatsu looked down.

Their hearts raced as they observed the little boys. Momoi stood up and looked at the teenagers, desolated. She looked to the baby on her arms which was starting to awake.

After trying so much to release them and all the trouble they caused… And now, they hadn't had much time… In no long, those children would turn into babies, and from babies, they would disappear, forever.

"W-we should go to the temple! Maybe we can still do something about it!" Kagami tried to make their hearts burn again

"Yeah!" Nebuya affirmed

"We can't simply let them here!" Miyaji nodded and took a glance at the sorcerer and his friend.

"I-I don't know…" Hikaru was unsure about what to do "But it won't hurt if we try…"

Just when they were about to walk. Murasakibara stopped and touched his own stomach, grumbling.

"Humn…" the little purple haired squeezed his eyes.

"What is it? Is your stomach aching?" Himuro asked softly.

"Hmn…"

He continued to grumble and when Himuro would get closer to help the boy, he simply…

"GWA!"

Kagami, who was at the right side of the little purple haired, screamed and almost fell on the ground.

"M-Mukkun has…" the pink haired girl almost dropped the baby on her arms.

Everyone stopped walking and looked at the scene. Even the people who were walking on the side walk paused their routines to look at the scene.

"… Atsushi you…" Himuro's face darkened

Murasakibara has grown and turned back to his usual form, a giant and lazy teenager, if not for one detail…

"K-KYAAHHH!"

A high school girl shouted followed by the shouts of many women and girls. A mother covered her child's eyes.

"How indecent!" a woman grumbled

"Immoral!" a mother screamed

"How can they make indecent movies on the streets?!" a man pronounced furiously.

The teenagers got more nervous, looking at a naked Murasakibara and the reactions of the "public" watching them. Momoi hurriedly put the baby Akashi on the ground, before a worse thing happened. Just when she stood up properly, the other members of GoM were already…

"Kyaah!" she covered her eyes with her hands, letting some breaches between the fingers to look. "T-Tets…!" And then, she fainted with a happy smile on her face.

"What's her problem?" Aomine growled

"Well, it's not a surprise, we're naked, you know-ssu?" Kise commented, saying a hello to some girls who fainted too.

"Sacchin is funny~" Murasakibara said lazily

"I-I can't believe we're in such a situation na-nanodayo!" Midorima's face was red and he adjusted his glasses.

"We're attracting many people's attention, let's move to somewhere else." Kuroko stated

"That's right, even Tetsu is being focused." Aomine sweatdropped looking at some girls who were observing them.

"E-eh… It seems we didn't need to do anything" Hikaru's friend suspired

"Y-yeah…"

"B-but how did they…?" Kagami asked perplexed.

"W-well… I think the curse can't work if the cursed object is broken in pieces…"The sorcerer guessed

"So…" A burning aura started to merge from Seirin's ace "We could just have done it earlier and the curse would vanish…?"

"W-wait! I didn't know it until now!"

"Hey…"

And when Kagami was at the point of committing a crime, Himuro pulled him by his jacket and they followed the naked GoM.

"Why do we have to go?!" Kise whinned "We've finally got our bodies back! Can't we just stay here a little?"

"My head… aches…"

The voice made the boys frozen. That voice was familiar, and its tone was not pleasant.

"Let's move…"

And, with their hearts racing (of fear) they noticed that GoM member, captain included, was back. (and with much more female fans than ever!).

"H-hahahahahaha" Takao burst into laugh "I-I can't wait to tell this story!"

"Don't say something like this, it's gross… Let's just forget that it happened!" Myiaji sighed

"Hun?" Reo woke up and saw the GoM member walking, so "Ah-" he fainted again

"Reo-nee!" Kotarou helped his friend again

"I'm hungry… I want candies~" Murasakibara's stomach growled

"Sorry Atsushi, but I can't possibly buy something now… Just go home already, I need some time to forget what I'm seeing here…" Himuro answered dryly.

"Hehehe…" Imayoshi gave a fox styled smile "It's better you listen to my orders, Aomine…" he showed his cellphone "I have some interesting photos here…"

"Gah-" Aomine got white

"I wonder if your technique will work after you got so many fans… If the manager finds out…" Kagami felt a chill run down his spine

"…" A depressing aura fell on Kuroko's shoulders, letting him down

"A-ah! I was kidding! Kidding!"

This is how the GoM turned back, and after buying some clothes, they followed, each one their path. But some things had changed. Their teammates that had watched all the process of the terrible curse took some time to forget about the occurred. And so took the new fans the GoM got. And then, they decided to promise that the next time they met, they would do it on place they couldn't by any possibility be cursed.

"Achoo!" Kise sneezed.

"What's it? Are you sick, Kise?" Kasamatsu asked.

"No… I think someone must be talking about me… I feel like everyone is blaming me for something."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The blonde's captain punched him on the head "Get back to work!"

"Waa~ Sorry Kasamatsucchi, I'll train, I'll train!" he cried

The end

-x-x-x-XXXXX-x-x-x-

Finally! Ended! But I'll come back with something else (and GoM involved, of course, because I love to play pranks on them).
