Avoiding from making any contact with others.
When his friends arrive, everyone can feel his sudden change. He not as cheerful as before. He also lack of respond to them. He just laid there, looking so emotionless.

"Huargghh.. I am sorry Kurokochii.. I don't mean on letting you feel upset."Kise is apologizing to Kuroko.
"It's okay. I already accept my fate." Kuroko says silently.
"But we can change our fate. We can try to change it of course. Like I'm changing my fate about I can't play basketball because of my injured leg. We have win in Winter Cup, remember?" Teppei says, trying to cheer Kuroko up.

That evening, Aomine and Momoi come again to visit Kuroko. This time to talk about their problem. They sit confronting each other. Momoi is obviously nervous about this. Kuroko look didn't even care about it while for Aomine, he look trouble.
"So, what are you two want to talk about?" Kuroko asks, starting the conversation.
"Um.. It's about our relationship" Momoi answers.
Kuroko take a look at Momoi for few seconds before he says "Continue"
"Tetsu, I can't accept your decision." Aomine states.
"Why is that so? I think you two suit each other and you have wait for this right?" Kuroko calmly says. No wavering, no sadness in his tone.
"I'm too selfish back then. I'm regretting my action. I am sorry, Tetsu" Aomine bows at Kuroko, wanting Kuroko's forgiveness.
"You're not at fault. Everything that happen before is because of me." Kuroko says as he turns his head toward the window.
"No! You're not at fault!" Both Aomine and Momoi shout. Desperately want to change Kuroko's thought.
Kuroko turns to them with a shock expression. He never thought that they going to shout that loud.
"Tetsu-kun, I am sorry for leaving you behind. My body just move by itself. That time, I just have one thought, I don't want to lose anyone. I..I still loves you!" Momoi cries.
"I should think about Satsuki and your feeling first. But that time my jealousy control me. I am sorry for being selfish. You shouldn't change yourself because of me. You shouldn't make that decision. Decision on abandon your feeling. That the worst choice ever!" Aomine says with a loud voice. His face show how regret he is.
Kuroko silent himself.
"I'm okay and I approve your relationship with Satsuki. I will give full support on both of you. But please Tetsu.. Forgive me and think back about your decision." Aomine adds.
"You're wrong" Kuroko states
"Wrong? What do you mean?" Aomine asks. This also making Momoi curios.
"When I said that I want to break up with Momoi-san, I don't do it only because I sympathize at you, Aomine-kun. I make it because I can see, how care Momoi-san is toward you. I think her love for me is just a love for someone she adore, she look up too. Not a love for a person who she truly in love with. The moment she run over you, my heart already could feel it."Kuroko says with a small smile, look like a line only.
"No! No, Tetsu-kun! I- I didn't mean it. I- I love you..." Momoi didn't finish her speak yet Kuroko continues.
"And I could feel... Myself either just want an attention from someone. It's not supposed to be you, it can be others but since you treat me every day, the feeling goes to you."
Momoi froze, Aomine too.
Kuroko smiles sadly and apologies. "I am sorry for tricking you, Momoi-san"
"You are joking, right? T-T-Tetsu-kun will never do that.. "Momoi begins to tremble.
"You just want to let us feel at ease right, Tetsu? I can see how you love her back then. My eyes can't be fooling me." Aomine can't belief about what Kuroko have said before.
"Like I said before, I also being fooled by my own feeling. The truth is my love toward Momoi-san is a different one. Not a true one." Kuroko denies everything that Aomine says.
"Why?!!!" Momoi screams, she feel that she being fool, by someone she truly adore.
Aomine hugs Momoi's body, trying to calm her shaking body.
"I am sorry" Kuroko just can say sorry this time.
"You're cruel Tetsu-kun!!!" Momoi screams for the last time before she push Aomine away and run out, exiting the room.
"Satsuki!!" Aomine calls for Momoi and run for her. Not before looking at Kuroko with unreadable look.
Kuroko just let his head down. He sure, if he see this, he can't release Momoi anymore. He need to do this. He need to be strong. For his friends' sake.

Re: Naruto.
Cover image credits: Maou.X.YushaSteve, a college junior who seems to be doing quite well in life until one fateful day and he tumbled onto the Naruto Universe ending up being Naruto himself. Join him in his adventures and hardships as tries to become the Hokage.Note: Certain incidents would not happen as the manga or anime dictates and I do love the Naruto series very much and I just want you read my version. Mature tag for gore and violence and maybe sexual occurrences and no there is no harem and again a big no to NTR. Your feedback is very much appreciated.
8 105Road to the Crown
Political marriage, war taxes, subsidies, a tribute... All those terms sound nice when one juggles them from behind the screen of his trusty computer! Junk food? Check. Sugary drinks that will cause me diabetes? Check. Two weeks of leave from the work? Check. A fresh copy of the newly released game finishing downloading as I'm going back from the grocery store? Check. Oops! My emotions got better to me, and I tripped on the stairs. I'm so silly! Then... Why the hell am I kneeling in a throne room, watching the marriage and coronation ceremony of the King, dressed in the noble robes with the game itself only flashing in the corner of my eyes?
8 221The Devil's own sins
Writer updates available for free on patreon. The following account, dear reader, is a recollection and retelling of the story of the first imp. The last devil born from the original primordial pit at the dawn of time, and the lowliest speck of that first generation. It recounts the tale of Thozronnath the pitiful and his steady rise from obscurity, perpetually stuck as a punching bag for his betters until the day hell itself spat him out. The information presented here is pieced together from eye-witness reports and second hand hearsay, sometimes from creatures with more than two hands. I can not tell you with any degree of accuracy how much of it is true as it begins long before our time and it's true ending lies far unto the future still. I can tell you one thing though, it was confusing as hell. Cover: Illustration for John Milton's Paradise Lost by Gustave Doré (1866), a thankfully public domain image. Currently on hiatus.

8 99The Class B
The unassuming Arte Bodrum is a simple AutoChef Technician with a penchant for amateur naturalism. He's never been involved in anything remotely interesting, and if he was being honest with you, would say adventures only happen in stories. Real life is never so exciting. So you can imagine his surprise when one day he stumbles into secretive meeting of black robed figures, casting him into a world far more complicated, and dangerous, then he could have ever imagined.
