--------------
"So, have you made your decision?" The doctor starts as Akashi is settling himself to sit in the chair in front of the doctor table.
"Yes. I have discussed with everybody. We will never give up on Kuroko, so we want to do the operation." Akashi fully determine.
"You really know the risks right?" The doctor asks just to make sure that Akashi knows the risk of having this operation.
"Yes," Akashi replies.
"Alright, I will undergo the operation. Kuroko's condition must be stabilised first before the operation take place. I will monitor his health for a week. If he's in good condition then we will do the surgery as soon as possible." The doctor informs.
"Just do whatever you can do to help him. I will pay for the expenses." Akashi says.
"Alright."
==============
At Akashi's house
"What are you waiting for, Satsuki? We'll be late. The visiting hours almost end" Aomine shouts from the living hall.
"Wait a minute. I need to bring some of Tetsu-kun's clothes. He will need it" Momoi replies as she opens Kuroko's wardrobes and starts choosing some clothes.
Eventually, she found a box inside the wardrobes. It's the camcorder that Kuroko always kept when he was in the ward before.
"Tetsu-kun's camcorder?" Momoi switches on the camcorder and takes a peek at what is inside.
Then an idea comes.
In hurry, she chooses some clothes and some necessary things into the bag at her right hand. She zips them and takes the camcorder with her other hand.
"Dai-chan!" She runs toward Aomine.
"sheesh, you have wasted to much time. We are in hurry." Aomine complains.
"Mouu.. Dai-chan is so mean." Momoi pouts but as she remembers back what she want to say before she becomes excited back.
"Dai-chan..Dai-chan"
"What?!"
"I found this" Momoi shows the camcorder.
"Tetsu's camcorder?"
"Yeah, we can use this to help Tetsu-kun remember us!" Momoi says excitedly.
Bit by bit, Aomine's lips change into grins. "You're brilliant, Satsuki! Let's go now! I can't wait"
"Yeah.. we don't want to waste any more time." Momoi giggles.
=============
"Kurokochi, do you want to go taking fresh air? Now is the perfect time to go out!" Kise suggests at Kuroko who is reading a novel. His favourite one before this. They brought it for him to help him regaining any memory that he has lost.
Kuroko looks at Kise. "That's a good idea. I do feel suffocated in here, with all of this wires and medicines"
"Alright. Wait, I will open your wheelchair." Kise takes Kuroko's wheelchair and pushes it to Kuroko's bed.
"uno.. Why can't I just walk there?" Kuroko asks, confuse.
Kise silent a while, looking sadly at Kuroko but cover it back. He needs to be strong for his Kurokochi. He needs to!
"Ah.. you don't remember huh?" Kise asks, smiling although it looks like a force one.
"I'm sorry." Kuroko sadly utters.
"Nah.. it's okay Kurokochi. You have lost your ability to walk 2 months and a half ago when you fall into comatose. Since then you have been using this wheelchair. You also play basketball with this, though. Impressive isn't it?" Kise pushes the wheelchair around with excited look

"Really? But how? It looks hard" Kuroko asks.
"We never knew" Kise giggles.
"I see. I wonder how was me before" Kuroko moves his body to the edge of the bed.
"Murasakibarachi does say you're sweet. Akashichi said you're interesting. Aominechi said you are fun to play with. Midorimachi said you're one of his lucky items. Momochi said she loves you and for me, I do say you're cute!!!" Kise hugs Kuroko as he says the last word.
"The cutest person I have seen!" Kise continues as he rubs his cheek with Kuroko's
"c-can't breathe...K-kise-kun..s-stop that" Kuroko struggles in Kise's hug. The blond never knows how to hug a person softly.
"Ah! I am sorry Kurokochii. I didn't mean to hurt you...But really, you're cute!" Kise still can't get it off overly.
"*sigh.. okay okay. I get it. When can we going to the garden?"Kuroko changes the topic. Although he loves to listen about his past, he still doesn't like being complimented. He just a normal person with lots of weaknesses.
"We can go now. Let me help you" Kise lifts Kuroko and put him in his wheelchair.
"Let's go!" Kise pushes the wheelchair excitedly
"The nurse will be mad at you for making too much noise and for running in the corridor, Kise-kun," Kuroko says as he could feel the speed of his wheelchair is moving.
"Nah. No one can get angry at me because I'm a model, I'm famous and everyone loves me you know" Kise proud with his achievement.
"Not with that nurse," Kuroko says as he points at the chubby nurse in front of them which hold an angry look and both of her hand on her waist
"Stop there!" The nurse shouts.
Kise chills and instantaneously he stops running.
And there goes with a bunch of nag from that nurse to Kise. Kuroko giggles as he looking at how much Kise want to get over it with few times of escaping trick. But none of it succeeds.
=============
"Mouu.. Where are both of them? They aren't even in the bathroom. I want to see Tetsu-kun as soon as possible. Now my time is wasted" Momoi pouts.
"It also your fault for being late. We promised to go at 1 but you done at 2. An hour late" Aomine replies with a bored look.
"There a lot of things I need to handle. Not like you who just sat on the couch doing nothing."
"I have none chore to do. It just half an hour before I saw you go toward Tetsu's bedroom. Where are you gone before?"
"I'm preparing this for Tetsu-kun" Momoi shows a box of lunch in her bag, which look horribly cooked.
"No! Don't ever gives that to Tetsu. Do you want to poison him?!" Aomine screams.
"You're so mean Dai-chan. I made this with loves. I know it will be the best lunch ever Tetsu-kun ever ate" Momoi starts to imagine Kuroko will say he love it and kiss her.
"It will not," Aomine says as he turns another place, put his phone on his ear.

"It will!" Momoi shouts.
"Hello, Kise. Where are you?" Aomine asks as the person he is calling answering his phone call.
"Wait," Kise says.
Aomine could hear a woman voice who are still nagging at Kise. Kise excuses himself to pick up the phone call which the woman give the permission for him to but with the last warning about running in the corridor.
"What with that?" Aomine questioning which taken Momoi's attention. She puts her ear on Aomine's phone.
"Aominechiii! You're a lifesaver. Thanks to you I can get away from that fat nurse" Kise cries.
"What kind of mess did you done this time?" Aomine sighs.
"I am not!" Kise protests.
"You are," Kuroko says.
"Mean!" Kie screams.
"Ah Tetsu, you're with Kise. No wonder we couldn't find you in your room" Aomine says.
Momoi grabs the phone as soon as she registers that was Kuroko's voice.
"Tetsu-kun, where have you been? I'm worried"
Kuroko silent, try to remember whose voice is that.
"It's Momochi," Kise says with a smile as he saw Kuroko is trying to remember.
"Oh. Momochi" Silent again.
"You always call her Momoi-san" Kise whispering at Kuroko's ear. Kise gives the phone to Kuroko
"Momoi-san, I'm sorry for making you worry. I'm fine with Kise-kun here" Kuroko replies.
"Where are you now?" Momoi asks softly this time. She heard Kise helped Kuroko to remember her and how it breaks her heart.
"I'm at the corridor. We are heading to the garden" Kuroko answers.
"I see. Then, we will be there too. See you there Tetsu-kun"
"Okay Momoi-san"
Momoi gives a sad expression as she ends up the call.
Then she feels someone is rubbing her head.
"Don't worry. Tetsu will remember back. He just needs to take the operation and he will be fine" Aomine is comforting Momoi.
"Although we have made that decision, my feeling is still wavering. Have I made the right choice to agree with them?" Momoi grips Aomine's shirt tightly.
"It is a right choice. Don't worry, I'm sure of it!" Aomine hugs Momoi gives the comfort that the pink hair needs.
==============
The scenery of Sakura's petal fall and the wind blowing at the garden have taken Kuroko's attention. His eyes travel along the way as they take their sit below of Sakura trees. He smiles showing how peace he is feeling right now. This place is better than the white room that he has spend most of his time.
"Pretty isn't it?" Kise starts the conversation.
"Yeah. Kise-kun, thanks for bringing me here" Kuroko says.
"No problem!" Kise replies.
"Tetsu-kun! Ki-chan!" They heard someone calling them from far. They turn and see Aomine and Momoi are walking toward them.
With the Sakura petal on the background, Momoi runs toward them. This stuns Kuroko. He can't help but think Momoi is so beautiful. His heart thumping like crazy, instantaneously causing him to blush a little. She is his love before. Although he can't remember well, his unconscious reaction toward her telling him that he have been in love with this pinkish hair girl. But he doesn't know if the girl knew about this. So, he chooses to keep quiet.
"Momochii, Aominechi!" Kise shouts. Kuroko looks at Kise for a while and tries to remember the name's that Kise has yelled before. He never wants to be track by the other that he still doesn't remember them fully.
"At last, found both of you," Aomine says as he stands in front of them.
"Hai Tetsu" Aomine greets.
"Domo, Aominechi, Momoi-san" Kuroko bluntly greet back.
They can't help but chuckle hearing that.
"It's not Aominechii, Tetsu-kun. It Aomine-kun" Momoi chuckles again
"oh.. Sorry about that." Kuroko blushes again. This time because of embarrassment. How can he call someone with –chii?
"Nah, it's okay. It's funny though" Aomine grins.
"Am I calling everyone with –kun or –san?" Kuroko asks.
"Yeah. You're calling everyone with –kun. For Momoi, -san. And for your teammates who is older than you, you call them with –senpai." Kise answers.
"I see. I need to adapt with that" Kuroko says.
"You will one day" Aomine replies.
"Tetsu-kun, I've brought something for you" Momoi checks in her bag but it's gone. Where is the lunch box?
Aomine turns to another place.
"What are you searching for Momoi-san?" Kuroko asks.
"Lunch box. Where is the lunch box?" Momoi mumbles.
"You made it, Momochi?" Kise starts to feel the chill.
"Yeah," Momoi now on her knees as she continues to search in her bag.
"Maybe you left it behind without realising?" Kise says. He turns away and let out a relieved sigh. He never wants his Kurokochi to die because of poisoning!
"Dai-chan.. have you seen them?" Momoi turns to Aomine but she senses something fishy there.
"Dai-chan.. don't tell me you take them?" Momoi rises and closing her gap with Aomine.
"I am not" Aomine answers but not looking at Momoi.
"You're! return it back!" Momoi shouts.
"I am not"
"Dai-chan!"
"I-I leave them in the car," Aomine says. Kise gives Aomine a good sign.
"You're mean!!" Momoi turns her face to another place. Sulking with Aomine.
"It's okay Momoi-san. You can bring to me later." Kuroko smiles. Both Aomine and Kise shook their head frantically.
"Why both of you shook your head?" Kuroko bluntly asks.
Momoi turns to them with a sharp glare.
"N-nothing.. haha," Both Kise and Aomine say.
"Oh yeah. I have other things to give to you Tetsu-kun" Momoi gives Kuroko a box that containing the camcorder.
Kuroko opens it and holds it. "Why are you giving this to me?" He asks.
"That's yours. I think it will help you remembering our past." Momoi smiles.
"Ah.. why are we forgotten about this. It's been a long time isn't it?" Kise says.
"Yeah, I just found it before. I think it will be useful. Tetsu-kun can watch it when he bored." Momoi says.
"I will. thank you." Kuroko thanks.

Nobody even knows where the stories of the Hell King come from, and yet everybody knows them. This is a story about a broken man, a man cursed by the heavens, an enigma to the whole world, a ruler of a dead kingdom and a monster born out of despair.
