《Slipping Away (KnB fanfiction)》Chapter 13 : Kuroko's Parent
Advertisement
Ogiwara is standing in front of a hospital room. He is nervous. The plate in front of him wrote Kuroko Tetsuya's name.
'Everything is going to be alright' thought Ogiwara. Nervously he opens the door and walk in.
"Welcome Ogiwara. We have been waiting for you" Akashi welcoming Ogiwara as he notice the brunette entering the room.
"Kobanwa" Ogiwara silently greet Kiseki no Sedai. He is still feeling a bit uneasy with them. Maybe because of the faithful day that causes him to stop contacting Kuroko. Yes, the match Meiko against Teiko 2 years ago.
"Ogiwara-kun, please have a sit" Momoi showing the chair in front of Kuroko's bed. The Kiseki no Sedai give enough space for Ogiwara. They stand at the other side of the room.
"Kuroko is sleeping?" Ogiwara asks them. They nod their head.
"He's been crying for a while when he is on the phone with you. He pretty exhausted" Aomine tells Ogiwara what happen before.
"I never thought something like this will happen to Kuroko." Ogiwara mumbling to himself but they could hear it clearly. Ogiwara take the sit and hold Kuroko's hand which already look bony now because the lack consumption of food in his body.
"How is his condition?" Ogiwara asks the Kiseki no Sedai.
"So far he keeps on doing his treatment. We only can see the result when the second MRI is done. The second MRI will be going on next week. This Sunday is the last of the first circle of treatment but looking the side effect that he being through is enough to break our heart. We just can't bare looking him this broken." Kise explains to Ogiwara with a sad tone.
"Is that is why he looking so thin and pale?" Ogiwara asks again while rubbing Kuroko's hand.
"Yes. He throws up more than he eats. His body heals in slow rate because his platelet counts a bit low, one of the side effect of chemotherapy and radiation. I hope his suffering will be pay off." Momoi says as she walks toward the other side of the bed and shove Kuroko's hair to the back slowly, so that she can look at Kuroko's sleeping face clearly.

"Why he didn't tell me anything? We are best friend. He should tell me first instead of hiding it from me!" Ogiwara says a bit yelling because of how frustrating he is.
"He also hides it from us. It was when he first time collapse, everything revealed. He don't want us to feel worry about him. Although he is feeling sick every day, not once he tell us what he really feel and even a sigh, he never let it out. Just sometimes we saw a grimace of pain on his face although he tries his best to hide it. We don't feel his pain but we know, everything is tough for him right now." Aomine lowers his head as he says this. The others just keep on silent, feel the hard thud on their heart. What Aomine feels is the same thing with what they feel. Kuroko is their beloved teammate.
Tears start to flows down Ogiwara's cheek, he bring Kuroko's hand to his face; hold it like his lifeline. "Yet I still speak about basketball with him when we are on the phone. I am sorry, Kuroko"
"...Ogiwara-kun?" a voice come from the only person who lying under the bed. Shock with the weak voice, Ogiwara and Kiseki no Sedai rise their head.
"Kuroko, you're awake? I am sorry, I have disturb your sleep." Ogiwara lows Kuroko's hand to the bed and let his face nears Kuroko's.
Kuroko keep on silent for a while, looking at Ogiwara's face, which still has some tears flowing down it. Then he raises his hand to Ogiwara's face and wipes the remaining tears.
"Ogiwara-kun.. Are you crying because of me?" Kuroko remain emotionless.
"..No no. There a dust entering my eyes. That is the cause of me crying." Ogiwara deny.
"...You lie. I have known you since our childhood days. I am the cause of it right?" Kuroko look a little down.
"I am sorry" Kuroko continues.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why you keep these as a secret from your friends too?" Ogiwara asks Kuroko, wanting the bluenette explanation.
"I can't worry others more. I just can't." Kuroko mumbles.

"Otou-san and Oka-san will be sad if they know you are acting like this. You know right, we have responsibility to care about one another. That is what we have been promise right? Why you keep as a secret about this illness from me? I am your brother!" Ogiwara yells to Kuroko at last. He just too angry with what Kuroko is doing, hide everything from him.
Realization hit Kuroko. The others also shock with the sudden outburst. They never knew Kuroko and Ogiwara is a brother to one another.
Ogiwara being adopted by Kuroko's parent since one year after they know each other. Ogiwara was closed with Kuroko, together with Kuroko's parent. Ogiwara's parent is too busy to spent their time with him. If he lucky enough, he can see his parent only a few days a month. Kuroko offering him to be his adopt brother and his parent was happy hearing that. Ogiwara accepting the offer without his parent permission, they don't even care about him.
Tears fall on Kuroko's cheek. "I am sorry. I am sorry"
Ogiwara hugs Kuroko's body tries to comforting his brother. "Just don't do it again, okay? You are just making us worrier if you do like this." Ogiwara is still comforting the bluenette.
Akashi gives a sign to the members of Kiseki no Sedai to exit the room. They obey, leaving the brunette and bluenette alone.
====================KnB====================
One hour later, Ogiwara exits Kuroko's room. The Kiseki no Sedai are still there, sleeping on the chairs. Only Akashi is the one who is still awake.
Ogiwara gives Akashi a tired smile. Akashi replied the smile back.
"So, how is it?" Akashi asks. His question causing the other wakes up.
"He already falls asleep 30 minutes ago. I feel bad for him. I just can't do anything to help him." Ogiwara look at his palm which being grip tightly.
"Everything is going to be alright. He will be fine after this, Kuroko is strong. Just give him your fullest support. He will need it" Akashi ensures Ogiwara.
"Thanks Akashi-kun" Ogiwara gives Akashi a relief smile.
"I am sorry if I disturbing you but I feel curious about what happen to Tetsu-kun's parent. Can you tell us what happen?" Momoi is standing in front of Ogiwara with a pleading look.
"Do you mean by the tragedy where our parent died?" Ogiwara asks for conformation.
"Yes. I want to know because Tetsu-kun never says anything about this. " Momoi says.
"Before, Kuroko is a cheerful kid and a bit naughty but 8 years ago everything changed as the traumatic tragedy happened. He loves science and that time he tried to do an experiment by using electric and some material that can cause explosion. His parent didn't know about it since they were sleeping in their room and it was late night that time. The experiment that he has done leading to a big explosion causing his room to burned. He called for help as he trapped in the room. My house is not too far from his, that's why I notice the sirens alarming loudly in front of their house. What I saw that time is his parent threw him from the window. One of the firefighters managed to catch him. As his parent want to jump out the window, one more explosion occurred. That what cause his parent can't be saved. They are burned alive although the firefighters doing their best to distinguish the fire. For a month, Kuroko fall into a deep depression and starting that day he become a silent person. He is still blaming himself, until now." Ogiwara ends his story with a tears falling on his eyes. He too can't move on although it's already 8 years passed. He still could see it clearly about the tragedy that happened in front of his eyes. He could hear a loud gasp from the other.
Momoi is crying, closing her mouth with both of her hand."Tetsu-kun..."
Without them knowing, inside the room, Kuroko is listening on their conversation. He already awake when he noticed Ogiwara exiting the room.
And the memories keep replaying on his mind since then. The traumas come back.

8 454The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
