Wahoo! Quick updates…thank you so much… you know reviews are a mean of encouragement for the author.

And oh Kuroko won't be his usual extra-polite self because remember that he is from a poor family.

Point out my mistakes if you find them. And forgive me for my sloppy eng cux it is not my mother language.

Do tell me if I need a beta reader or no….. kuroko no basuke belongs to Fujimaki Tadatoshi-kun

Kuroko gripped the bed sheets and let out a hoarse scream. The man laughed like a maniac.

"Please…let me go" he felt the salty taste of his tears.

"Why would I let you go huh?" he smirked.

The man did finally ga ot out of him after he was done and went to the washroom. It's been 3 hours since the man stripped young Kuroko. Kuroko felt his hopes shatter like a piece of glass. It was better at home with Tetsuna and her crazy, unacceptable behavior than with this disgusting man.

The door creaked open and Akashi walked in. As usual he was plain emotionless. Kuroko glanced up and turned his body away from Akashi. The red-head shook his head. He used the bed sheet to cover the teal head. He gently picked him up and looked at Kuroko's tear-stained cheek. Kuroko looked away.

"I'm sorry for what he did to you Tetsuya" Akashi mumbled and took him to his room.

He placed kuroko in the bath tub and opened the water tap. The water was Luke warm a very preferable temperature to ease the body pain.

"I can do the rest Akashi-kun, thank you…I really need sometime alone." Kuroko finally spoke. His voice was dry and husky. Akashi looked away and nodded.

"I know, I will put your clothes on the table outside. And some tablets. Do take them." He went out. Akashi's eyes burned with fury and rage.

Kuroko was vulnerable and weak but he had strong determination and Akashi gave a credit for that but for how long. He sighed again.

"Your deeds are unforgivable Kira." He said hanging his head low. A few minutes like this and a small voice said.

"Akashi-kun" Akashi looked up and saw kuroko standing beside him. This boy had a real talent of popping out of nowhere. He got up and handed kuroko his medicine.

"Tetsuya… he always did this to me…and I only had one condition. He would do never this to someone else. Firstly he broke the promise, secondly, Tetsuya… get ready to escape this hell"

Kuroko as adorably as he could cocked his head to the side.

"But how? He asked. "There is so much security."

"There is one way…you have to go up there again."

Death filled kuroko's face. "No- no I can't." His lips trembled.

"Forgive me it was foolish of me to ask you. I really don't know what's gotten into me." Akashi sighed and sat down.

"What's up there?" Kuroko asked. Akashi moved closer to kuroko and putting his mouth beside Kuroko's ears he said.

"You see I don't trust him. Who knows if there are bugs or hidden cameras here?" Akashi whispered. "But if your mind changes or if he calls you again, I want you to bring me a box. Infront of his bed there's a vase on the table. Its bluish green and had many holes in it…well it's a design. The box is hidden in there. Bring it to me and we shall get out of here."

'How can I trust you?" Kuroko asked. "How do I know that after we escape you-you-"

"It's fine for you not trust me because of what you've been through but I assure you that I won't do anything to you. An Akashi keeps his promise."

He said this with such authority that the teal head could not help but feel assured. He nodded.

"I will go." He said sighing. The red head nodded. As said Akashi was right. Kira sent one of his men to fetch Kuroko.

"He is coming." Akashi said and turned to Kuroko. "I will come with you and I will try my best to stop him from doing what he does just play along." Kuroko nodded. They headed to the devil's liar. Akashi knocked on the door. "Come in"

Kira frowned when he saw Akashi with Kuroko. "What are you here for, Joan?" he asked.

"I don't want you to be so hard on him this time… he is suffering from Peritonitis" Akashi said. Kira frowned.

"From what?" but he missed the same confused expression on Kuroko's face.

"It's a disease…a dangerous one, it is not contagious but since you practically did it with him, the disease might transfer to you." Akashi smirked inwardly when he saw Kira gulp.

"Is it true?" he asked Kuroko. Kuroko nodded.

Kira's eyes bulged out of his sockets. "Why didn't you tell me?" he cried.

"I never thought about it, I am sorry." Kira sighed. He motioned Akashi to go out. Akashi nodded and went out.

Kuroko was alone in the room with the devil. His knees began to shake. Sweat beads formed on his forehead and ran down to his cheeks. Kira got up and took out a book from his cupboard and gave it to Kuroko. The book showed guys mostly men in different poses and some fully exposed. It was a gay magazine.

"I want you to model for me like this." Kira said. "That stupid ass hole Joan rejected this and now gets his punishment. You will too- oh crap, you have that pri-whatever disease! Damn it…" Kira mumbled.

"Strip" he commanded. He had no choice and took off all his clothes. Kira bend down and tracked kuroko's collar bone to his chest then slid his hands to Kuroko's back. Kuroko sollowed in the tears.

"Be strong…Akashi-kun has gone through wore time!" he cried in his mind. The man's hand wandered around his small body, touching him in the places where he shouldn't.

Kira sighed and he got up. He took the magazine and opened a page. And told kuroko to pose like that.

"Put on your boxers" he ordered. Kuroko nodded and thankfully put on his boxers. Kira motioned him to sit on the bed. He opened a big mahogany cupboard and pulled out something shiny. A dog collar with spikes and handcuffs. He put the dog collar on kuroko's neck and handcuffed his hands to the bed.

"Make a painful expression, you shit ass" he said. Kuroko looked at him confused. How could he make one?

The man seemed to read his thoughts. He pulled kuroko's hair. His face doubled with pain. "Yes just like that!" he cried and snapped some pictures from his camera.

Then he took off the color and the handcuffs. And threw the teal heads clothes to him.

"I'm going to go and develop these… develop...Ha-ha I don't think you even know what that means... Get out after you're dressed." And he went to the washroom

Taking this as the only chance the teal head ran to the table in front of the bed and found a bluish green vase. The design was really very pretty but was there any time to admire it?

He took the vase carefully and turned it over a tiny box fell on his palm. He quickly wore his trousers and hid the box in his pocket and went out.

He ran to his room and found Akashi putting a few things in the bag. He looked at him with curious eyes.

"He made me model for him but I got what you asked for." Kuroko whispered panting. Akashi nodded. "Keep it with you, you want something to eat, you must be hungry." Akashi asked.

"Yes, please." Akashi brought him some ramen to eat and a beverage. Kuroko had never eaten ramen in his life. Damn wasn't it delicious.

Kuroko shot up straight when he heard gun fires from outside. Akashi was up already. Kuroko looked at him with a worried face (which Akashi thought was cute). He nodded trying to say that it's all going to be alright.

Soon the door burst open revealing a panting Kira. He was soaked in his dirty sweat and had a look of horror on his face. "Get under the bed both of you." He cried and got under the bed with both of them.

"What is happening?" Kuroko cried. He hushed up when he heard more gun shots. Akashi looked at his face. Such worry and hurt should never touch him. He sighed. "I will go and have a look." Akashi said.

"What are you crazy, Joan?" Kira shouted. Akashi put his finger on his lips in order to shut Kira up.

"I am going to see what's up there." He said with such an intimidating aura that Kira was bound to shut up. He nodded.

Akashi quietly as a snake opened the door and slipped out.

"Kuroko…eh huh?" the latter was nowhere to be found.

Akashi met kuroko on the roof stair case. They both ran up and Akashi motioned kuroko to walk slowly and opened the roof door. He saw men cringing with pain rolling around. Their blood stained the ground. The foul smell filled the air. Akashi shuddered as he stepped outside with kuroko following close behind him. He covered his nose. Akashi looked down and smiled to himself. He gestured kuroko to come close to him.

"I will push you from the roof okay." He smiled. Kuroko was 100% sure Akashi had lost his mind. Maybe living with man had mentally affected Akashi.

"I'm not so fed up Akashi-kun, please" kuroko cried. Akashi rolled his eyes. "Jump by yourself or I will push you.' Kuroko shook his head. "I don't want to DIE!" he cried.

Akashi laughed. He stepped forward. Even though he was same height and age as kuroko but he was damn stronger. He turned kuroko around by force. Kuroko stared down and struggled. It really was a deep drop. "Ready" Akashi shouted. Kuroko for the first time in his life screamed as Akashi pushed him off the roof. His screams filled the air. He looked up and saw Akashi's fading figure smirking.

Kuroko waited for the bang and pain of his crushed bones but instead he felt a bumpy rugged surface underneath him. For a second he was dizzy and the other he was thank full that he didn't get hurt. That surface lowered itself and he was rolled on the ground.

He looked up and saw a few people with black masks. Even their hair was hidden with a black beanie. One of them motioned Akashi and without wasting a second Akashi jumped. "Wow talk about blind trust." One of them said in a heavy voice.

They caught Akashi above their heads and lowered him. He smirked as he saw kuroko giving him a bewildered look.

"Let's go" he said and took kuroko's hand in his and they all ran away from the house. They ran through the dark alleys hiding from people and police. After it seemed like running for eternity they came to a stop. A large auditorium. They entered through the back door. Kuroko was really surprised to see such a big building with so many chairs. One of the guys lit up the room. The lights in the room glowed but their light was quite dim.

The guys took off the masks and the beanies. They were all of kuroko's age.

"Heh. How was that huh?" a boy with dark blue hair said. He was the tannest of all. He was tall and lean built. Akashi smiled. "Good. Excellent. Better than I expected Daiki, a great job by all of you." Akashi said.

"Let me introduce you to Kuroko Tetsuya." He said kuroko came forward and bowed with a greeting.

"I am Aomine Daiki! Nice to meet you Tetsu… eh can I call you that?" the tanned one said. Kuroko nodded with a smile.

"It's not like I don't have any choice or something but I'm midorima shintarou" the green haired one said. Somehow he resembled to a carrot. Kuroko smiled.

The tallest one had purple hair and matching eyes. By his facial expressions he was the baby of the group. "I am Murasakibara Atushi" he said and popped a toffee in his mouth.

"HEY! You we don't have any money and you go buy toffees for yourself." A young boy with dual colored hair shouted. He had red hair with black tones and split eyebrows. He was same like Aomine … a little different maybe. Kuroko looked at him with wide eyes.

"Kagami taiga" the boy said. Kuroko smiled.

"Oh me me I'm left… I'm Kise Ryota… kuroko you are cute!" a blonde yelled. He looked like a 5 year in a 13 year olds body. Kuroko frowned but he smiled and said. "It's not wise to call a guy cute, Kise-kun."

Kise giggled. "There's no denying the fact…and may I call you kurokochii? He asked. Kuroko smiled. Then murasakibara said "I will call you Kuro-chin then.

"Yes sure" Akashi who was silent all this intro time came forward. "We have escaped Kira but there we had shelter and food. From on Kuroko we must find work. They all work." Everyone nodded.

Kuroko nodded as well. "But first I will go to the police and give them the- oh Tetsuya you have the box"

Kuroko nodded. "I will give the box to the police. It's a camera that I placed in there." Akashi said. "oh it might be on right now." He took it from kuroko and closed it by pushing a small button.

"Where did you get the camera from?" Midorima asked.

"From the super market. Kira sent me there to buy his groceries." Aomine frowned. "Then why did you not run away that time?" He asked. Akashi sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "He fixed an anklet on my ankle. You set a certain distance and if you cross that distance the anklet bursts … along with your leg." Kise a made a horrified face.

"This is how I got you meet you people as well. The anklet doesn't record or keep track of anything which means I can roam anywhere within the given distance." Aomine frowned then sighed.

Kagami came to kuroko and swung his arm around his shoulders…. And gave him a toothy grin.

"Tomorrow we will both go and look for a job…I'm jobless as well." He grinned. The teal head nodded.

"I think we should all get a little sleep. Daiki give us some clothes and mattresses."

Kuroko's eyes practically bulged out of his sockets as Aomine emptied a big bang full of clothes and Kise brought them some mattresses. "Where did you get them from?" he asked.

Akashi smiled as he went to the dark corner to change. "Well we like to keep it a secret… and um…we will tell you when the time comes." Murasakibara said.

"Wow you can say some really meaningful things murasakibara" Aomine commented. The purple giant snorted. Shut up Mine-chin your mean…this is why I call you MEAN-E-chin"

Kuroko gave a small laugh. And went to the corner to change the clothes. When he got back the mattresses were already set. Turns out midorima did them.

"It's not like I care about you or anything but there is some food too." He snorted and both colorful heads smiled.

"Thank you Shintarou/Midorima-kun" the green head just snorted.

Akashi and kuroko's mattresses were close to each other and were quite comfortable.

"Goodnight Tetsuya"

"Goodnight Akashi-kun"

He watched the patterns on the ceilings and soon fell asleep. For the first time in these day's kuroko slept soundly. Was it because of Akashi? Or that he felt secure with so many kids who were just like him? He did not know.

Thank you for reading this.

Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, the thin tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdomen and covers most of the abdominal organs.

AKASHI: hmm a poor kuroko… poor us… very good I like it.

KUROKO: please try to ignore Akashi-kun as possible because he tried to push me off the roof top and do read and review!

AKASHI: *sulks*
