Blue Dewdrops: Night 3
In the castle, the bluenette was standing at the balcony. Looking at the dark sky filled with stars. The night breeze blew, making her bangs dancing tickling her forehead. "Did you missed your family?" The bluenette quickly tilt her head to where the owner of the voice. It was the king whom she tought was an ordinary master earlier. "No, your majesty. I don't remember their faces nor their names." Said the bluenette while looking back at the sky. The red head only looking at her with soft gaze. She is beautiful, her pale skin which was stained by bruises. Her sparkling sky blue orbs, reminds him of the morning dew that he often see when he wokes up. Yes, she is just like that morning blue dewdrops. "I..." the bluenette's voice disturbs him from admiring her. "I never meets them. I was a slave as fas as I remembered." Said the bluenette with sad eyes. "All I can remember is my name, Tetsuyu." "Then, who gave you the name Kuroko?" "It was my current master. He gave me this name because he hates me that much. Kuroko. It means black and dirty. To him, I was the most dirty slaves he ever meet." This is it. This is the time he get to ask her about his master. Akashi take this chances to ask her more and more about her background and what he has done to her. ***** "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, AKASHI?!!" ask the green head. "Nope, I'm still sane enough to think of the possibility and the sequence of what I'm doing." Said the red head while smirking at Midorima. "Bu-but Akashichii-sama. What happen if the citizen knew this?" He rolled his eyes "Ryouta..." ask Akashi with sighing. "What do you see in all those slaves and servant?" "Urm..." while fidgeting and playing with both of his index fingers. "workers? They worked without being paid because the food and living are provided by their master?" Akashi only sigh at the blondie's answer. It didn't satisfied him. "Ryouta, they're human. We human are equal. If I have more power I will disband this kind rule. But, it takes times and agreemnet from other kingdom as well." He looked at the portrait where there's a picture of older red head. "My father has tried it before, but it was rejected." He looked back at Kise with a serious gaze. "Slaves are human too. They have feelings and ambition, which I saw in her clear eyes." His gaze turn softer and gentler. Both Kise and Midorima eyes grew wider, they noticed something that they never saw before. It was "Akashi, you are in love" "I've got to admit it. Midorimachii is right." Said Kise with a wide grin on his face. Meanwhile Satsuki who was leaning at the back of his brother's office door. Smiling with tears of joy, closing her mouth with her palm. She felt as if this was too good to be a dream. ***** Akashi entered his reading place. There was a lot of books and scrolls. There sit a bluenette while reading a book. Akashi approached her with a maid behind him bringing food placed on a tray. "Is the materials to your liking?" Asked Akashi then sitting on a cushion besides the bluenette. The bluenette then faced the red head with a shocked face. "Yes, your majesty. I never kne reading could be this fun." Said the bluenette in awed. The red head king chuckled seeing her reaction. He never knew a girl could get this interested in reading books about country and businesses. He can still remember the day where he has to teach Momoi to read, instead of memorizing the words she was doodling that tanned bluenette. When he yelled at her, instead of crying she threw a book to Daiki. The only person who will receieved her wrath even if it someone else who made her angry or unhappy. "You majesty?" Ask the bluenette besides him with a pair of big glassy sky blue orbs. He without thinking he reach the bluenette's cheek and stroke it softly. The bluenette only let the king do what he is doing, because she's also mesmerized by the flaming red orbs in front of her. His soft stroke on her cheek comfort her. She never received these kind of treatment from anyone. Meanwhile outside of the reading room, the rainbow was spying behind the door. Pushing each other just to see their king and the slaves having a romantic moment. "Ki-chan, don't push me!" "Aominecchi is the one pushing me!" "Stupid! Be quiet or they might hear us." "I don't see the reason why we must be stalking them, nodayo." "Mido-chin, you also joining us when we are planning to see the king's progress on her." "It's because I'm worried about you lots!" "Urm... guys? What are you doing here?" Ask someone from behind them. The five of them jolted. But when he saw the palace chief; Kagami, they all sight in relief. "Mou! Kamagin, don't frightened us like that!" "No, it just that you guys looks so weird. The maids and guards are all scared looking at you guys acted like that." Aomine release a heavy sigh. He was so scared who know that it was Akashi using a magic spell to transport himself to scared him just now. "So really, what are you guys doing anyway?" Kagami asked once again. "Stalking on me, of course." Then Akashi out if nowhere standing behind the group of his friends. They all shrieked when they heard that familiar voice. Afraid to look back but they turn their heads slowly. Then they all saw the red head king and his left eye turn to yellowish. "So, prepare for my treatment this evening. If any one of you missing, you'll get triple special treatment from me. Is that clear~?" They all nodded quickly and hugging each other without minding who is who. Too afraid to see the other side of Akashi is awaken. Usually it takes weeks for this side of Akashi to disappeared and turned back to the kind and gentled Akashi. The red head king then smiled evilly as his eyes darkened. "Heh!" With that he slammed the door to the archive room shut. Later that night, all the maids and guards heard a lot of screaming voices. Kuroko was placed in other room where Akashi provided for to sleep only for that night. She was sound asleep inside a soundproof room, never knowing what horror the others gone through.
