A man with red hair and red eyes floated in the darkness all alone and cold. He closed his eyes to sleep.
"Sei!" A voice shouted.
A bright light shone so brightly Akashi slightly open his eyes.
He could see someone reaching out to him. He felt like he knew this person.
"Tetsuya...." Akashi reached out to the light.
Darkness around him turned white.
______________________________________
Akashi could hear someone singing.
A sad song.
A warm hand patting his hair lightly.
He open his eyes to see blue hair and blues eyes meeting his.
"Tetsuya?" Akashi reached out to him and touched his cheeks.
"Your finally here." The Kuroko smiled.
"Yeah, because you found me." Akashi smiled.
Kuroko stood up and made a small twirl.
"Sei, are you happy now." Kuroko looked at him.
Akashi looked at Kuroko.
"Yeah, because we can now be together again." Akashi Said.
Kuroko narrow his eyes.
"we can't." Kuroko Said.
"Why?" Akashi walked toward him.
"Because my prayers have been answered. My wish was to see you one more time. Now that it have been fulfill I will disappear." Kuroko smiled sadly.
Akashi eyes widen.
"No....you can't...you can't disappear Tetsuya!" Akashi reaches out to him.
But a blast of wind stop him from getting closer Akashi fell to the floor blue petals flew all around them. The sky turned dark and the flowers around them started to die.
Kuroko stood before him.
"Do you remember these flowers we played together in the fields." Kuroko picked one up that was still alive.
"I do...you were a crybaby back then." Akashi made a sad laugh.
"And Sei was a Baka. A absolutes emperor." Kuroko laughed.
Akashi just cried. He couldn't do this. Why do Tetsuya have to disappear.
"I....loved you Tetsuya.....I really did...but I hurted you. It's all my fault, I'm pathetic aren't I?" Akashi covered his face with his hands.
He didn't want Tetsuya to see his weak side. He must look like a mess right now.
"Sei." Kuroko pulled his hands away from his face.
Akashi looked at him. Kuroko wipes his tears away.
He open his palm to reveal the blue forget me not flower.
"In the language of this flower it means to never forget me, our memories we had together, and my love for you. If one day I'm reborn again I wished to be with you no matter how you change or who you become. I will always love you." Kuroko Smiled.
"But....all I've ever wanted was to save you...why do god have to take you away from me?! When we finally see each other again! Is this all we get! I wanted to marry you and grow old together. Yet!!" Akashi pulled Kuroko into a hug shocking him.
"I beg you! Don't take him away from me! Don't take Tetsuya away! Please!" Akashi voice crack in pain and sadness.
Kuroko look at his hands that was already gone Tears fell from Kuroko eyes. He hugged Akashi back. This wasn't how he wanted to say goodbye to Akashi. He promise he would smile but he couldn't. He didn't want to disappear! He wanted to stay with Akashi.
But he was already dead. His body is already rotting deep under the earth. In twelve years his body would decay and he would his body would be fully gone.
"Sei, when Hope is lost and your in a place full of darkness. Remember that I am there always watching over you. Don't forget that and the promise we made when we were children. You've fulfilled it already." Kuroko handed the flower in Akashi hand. He kissed Akashi cheeks and stepped away.
Crack
"No...don't go...don't leave me alone.." Akashi reaches out to him.
Tetsuya whole body was disappearing reaching to his waist.
"I love you Sei. Live, don't give up in life everyone waiting for you. Promise me you'll live on." Kuroko gave him one last smile and closed his eyes.
A tear rolled down his cheek.
The dimension cracked and everyone was engulf in light.
"TETSUYA!!!!!" Akashi screamed he reached out to him.

-Akashi flashback Back in Teiko-
Kuroko walked through the long hallway of Teiko carrying a small pouch hook on his belt.
"Are you leaving. Tetsuya." A cold voice Said.
He came to a sudden stop. Kuroko didn't turn around to meet him.
"Yes, and I'm not coming back." Kuroko Said.
"Is that so. Then just leave and never comeback. Weak people shouldn't even be in this school." Akashi Said.
Kuroko flinch. His hands was clench in anger.
Kuroko turn around and before he knew it Kuroko slapped him.
Kuroko grab his shirt and glared at Ajasginwith anger and pain.
"You...You! I-" Kuroko voice crack as tears stream down his cheeks.
Akashi grab one of Kuroko hands.
"You hate me?" Akashi wipes his tears with his thumb.
Kuroko looked up at him a sad smile formed on his face.
"I don't....because I still live on to our promise. Our promise to always be together."
Light filled the sky with with a golden light so bright and warm that everyone believe in hope. People and animals came out of their homes and looked at the bright golden sky. Stars and unknown color lights filled the sky.
"It's so beautiful...this world." Kagami looked up at the sky.
"Yeah, it is. Just like you." Aomine smiled.
The gemstone on Kagami neck broke into pieces. Shocking both Aomine and Kagami. The light in the gemstone was fully gone.
"Wha-Kuroko necklace...it broke..." Kagami picked the pieces up.
"Leave it. That just mean Tetsu finally at peace. He can finally rest...." Aomine Said.
Aomine and Kagami looked over at Akashi who was unconscious.
Kagami helped Aomine up and walked toward them where the Rakuzan soldiers and GOM surrounding Akashi.
"Sei-Chan! Wake up!" Mibuchi shouted.
"Akashi!/ Akashi-Kun!" They shout.
"Is he dead?" Mayuzumi siad.
"He's not! He's just unconscious!" Mibuchi hit his head.
But the truth is their all worried about him.
As they try to wake Akashi up a transparent person floated appear above them.
"Nii-San." Seiji appeared.
Mayuzumi was the one to first noticed him.
"Your..." Mayuzumi eyes widen in shock.
There floating above them was Akashi other self. Seiji put a finger on his lips and floated toward Akashi cupping both his cheeks putting their forehead together.
"Thank you Nii-San. I'll be leaving with Tetsuya so see you soon." Seiji kissed his forehead.
Akashi eyes slightly open.
"Everyone..." Akashi looked at them tired.
Everyone looked relief and cheered embrace the man.
"Your leaving." Mayuzumi turned to Seiji.
"Yeah, I'm going to be reborn somewhere in this beautiful world. Even through I used to hate it. I'm going to start over." Seiji smiled seeing Akashi who looked shocked and confused.
"Is that so. Then good luck." Mayuzumi wave him off.
Seiji laughed.
"Will you miss me?" Seiji sounded a bit sad.
Mayuzumi looked at him.
"Who knows." Mayuzumi blushed.
"Your not honest Mayuzumi." Seiji smirk.
"Just hurry up and go!!" Mayuzumi shouted.
"Who are you talking to Mayuzumi?" Hayama looked at him.
Everyone else was also staring at him like he was crazy.
"You can't see him?" Mayuzumi pointed at Seiji.
"Who?" Nebuya has a question mark.
"He must be talking to air! That looks fun!" Hayama laughed.
Mayuzumi has a tick off face.
"Seiji?" Akashi stared at Seiji.
They stayed like that for a moment until Seiji broke it.
"Goodbye Nii-San." Seiji Smiled and disappear.
Akashi watched as Seiji was gone.
"Thank you." Akashi Looked up at the sky.
It was so beautiful. The light glowing on his skin Warming him up.
It was a new beginning.
For all of them.

Kagami P.O.V
It's been a month since the war ended. Everyone was helping each other out fixing and building things that were broken.
Kirisaki Daichii and the rest refuse to have a treaty with them so it wasn't over yet.
"From now on Rakuzan, Tōō, Yosen, Kaijo,Shutoku, Teiko, and Seirin will now join together to avoid wars and create a new future. If someone were to break this treaty there will be consequences. Agree?" Aomine Said.
"Agree!" They all raises their hands.
"Then this meeting is over." Aomine Said.
Everyone stood up and leave and go home.
Rakuzan was the last people to leave. As they walked toward the door.
Akashi called out to me.
"Kagami was it." Akashi didn't turn around to look at me.
"What is it?" I frowned.
But I was a bit nervous because last time we met he tried to kill me last time.
"Thank you and I'm sorry for everything. I promised Tetsuya that I would keep on living no matter what. And I'll keep that promise." Akashi open his palm revealing a crystal blue forget me not flower.
"I see. Then keep living and don't give up. If you do I'll beat you." I Said.
"Heh, I'd like to see you try." Akashi smirk and left the room.
I was about to shout at him but he was already gone.
That night Tōō threw a feast as promised. Every solider from different clans celebrated together enjoying the feast as beautiful women served them with alcohol until they all got drunk some of them even danced.
I smiled watching as everyone enjoy together. I wished it alway remain this way everyone enjoying each other in peace. But I know this won't even last long.
I looked at Aomine who was with the Kiseki no Seidai talking together.
"Hey Sakurai why don't you sing for us!" Aomine shouted.
"E-Eh! M-me! B-but I-I..." Sakurai shook when everyone stared at him.
"It's been a long time since we heard you sing. Put on a performance for us since we're bored." Aomine Smiled.
"Y-Yes!" Sakurai Smiled.
Imayoshi pulled out small guitar and sat down next to Sakurai.
Sakurai Smiled and started to sing.
Song: "Kimi ga Emu Yuugure" Performed by Yoshino Nanjou
Anime: Tokyo Ravens.
(Song on top play the Video)
The season finally comes to its end... you said
Ah... I feel nothing but your kindness
Hey, if we ignore such thing about leads or fate
Can we fly freely to the sky?
Please tell me...
The promise we once exchanged, the high place we aimed
We played in the noise of our days
Yet, I become strong for you, and the pieces I just noticed
I will never them go
But, for now, don't look here, because of my wet cheeks, wait until the sun's set
Now, I'm alone...in my strength must be your bad habit
When I said it I smiled a bit and lie down my eyes
Hey, the story I wrote so childish and short
But if you know the truth, will you escape from brittle
Still...
I saw the ending sky in my dreams, I had long time thinking over it
We always met everyday, but I teared
-You have become stronger- Those words ride the wind
I'm now just chasing after you
But today, I will never let go of your cold hand...
It's still yet for now
In the unknown path, we repeats on meeting
Even the noise of our days are so dear
Your voice become so distant, that moment, I laugh from my heart...
This small wish lead my strength
I could see the same face...
You turned back and now...... laughs.
That night when everyone fell asleep. Morning came and a new day began.
Seirin was getting ready to head back home.
"Kagami." Aomine called out to me.
I felt my heart skip a beat.
"Aomine." I looked at him.
"Here, I want to give this to you." Aomine put something in my hand.
It was a beautiful red-brown ruby gem brooch with a string attach to it.
I looked at Aomine who blushed.
"I-It's the same as us Kiseki no Seidai gemstone. We all agree to give you one in case something ever happen to you..... We would know....ugh...why is this so hard!" Aomine sigh.
Kagami burst out laughing.
Aomine felt even more embarrass and pointed at him a bit angry.
"Listen! The only one who can beat me is me! Even though I love you. Become stronger and visit us anytime. Even thought I....never mind." Aomine smirk.
I frowned at what he was gonna say.
"Aomine you suck." Imayoshi appear beside him and looked at me.
Aomine glared at Imayoshi who just smiled.
"Since Aomine suck at explaining. What Aomine really want to Say is he doesn't want you to leave. Why don't you stay with us a bit longer while Seirin goes home." Imayoshi Smiled.
I head Seirin behind me gasp in shock.
"I...." I looked down and looked slightly behind where Aida and senpai were making some faces that they don't want me to leave.
"I'm sorry...I can't stay. I'm going to go back home." I Smiled sadly.
"I see..." Aomine looked down.
I was about to apologize but Aomine pulled me into a embrace.
"Be sure to visit me sometime." Aomine Smiled at him.
"I will." I Smiled.
-P.O.V End-
Aomine watched as Seirin leave Tōō with horses. Kagami waved at him he waved back until they fully disappeared.
Aomine felt his heart clentch when they were gone. He felt like tears were about to fall.
Imayoshi put a hand on his shoulder.
"Let's go." Imayoshi Said.
"Yeah." Aomine Said sadly and walked back to his castle.
Once he goes back inside he must take responsibility of fulfilling his duty as a prince. It will be lonely without Kagami but he's sure he will be fine.
Just as they were about to enter the castle a voice shouted behind him.
"Aomine!!!!!!" A voice shouted. There was also a sound of a horse.
Aomine eyes widen.
Just as he was about to turn around someone embrace him and they fell to the ground.
"Ugh- w-what? Kagami!" Aomine looked down and saw Kagami crying in his chest.
Even Imayoshi and them looked surprised.
"B-Baka! What are you doing here! What about Seri-" Kagami cut him off.
"I left." Kagami Said.
Aomine eyes widen.
"I couldn't leave you behind even if I wanted to. Because I love you." Kagami Smiled.
-Kagami flashback-
Kagami kept looking back.
His heart clench when he could no longer see Aomine.
He bit his lips in frustration and anger.
Suddenly there was a hand on his shoulder.
He looked and saw Kiyoshi and Seirin looking at him.
"Kagami go." Kiyoshi Said.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Beside I already made my decision to go h-" Kiyoshi cut him off.
"You know what I'm talking about. Kuroko knew you would be like this. Your a stubborn person he told us. He said your a person can't make decisions sometimes. We really are gonna miss you. So Kagami if you really love him please go back to him." Kiyoshi Smiled.
"But..." Kagami looked at his friends who were all smiling at him.
"Go idiot!" Hyuga Said.
Kagami looked at him.
"Go and be with him. We know you love him a lot. We can't take that away from you. We will miss you but remember that Seirin will always be here with you." Hyuga Said.
"Everyone..." Kagami felt like he was gonna cry.
"Go Kagami! Just be sure to write to us whenever you have time okay!" Furihata Smiled.
"When you return home. I'll be sure to triple your training." Riko Smiled.
Kagami Felt himself laugh and cry. Seirin patted his back as they share one happy moment hugging and encouraging him.
"I'm sorry! Thank you everyone!" Kagami turned his horse around and went back to Tōō.
-Flashback End-
Aomine felt himself embrace Kagami back.
"I also love you. Even though you still love Tets-mfp!!!!" Aomine was cut off with a kiss.
"You idiot! I told you already I don't love Kuroko anymore. I used to...but your the only one I like more now. Beside Kuroko like someone else..." Kagami blush.
Aomine felt his cheeks blush.
"Uh. Don't forget we're still here." Imayoshi smirk.
Aomine and Kagami forgot about them and their face steam in embarrassment.
Tōō laughed at the two couple.
