Broken Promise [Kuroko no Basket Fanfic]

Chapter 16

<<<<<<<<Hikari Crying>>>>>>>>

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kuroko and the others were going back and forth inside Sakura's hospital room, tidying the room and carrying Sakura's things to the van

"Thank you for helping me pack my things up" Sakura said gratefully

Tsubaki snorted "S'fine, and Kuroko would kill us if we didn't help you pack" making Sakura giggle

Just then Hikari stopped in front of them and smiled as a greeting, Sakura returned the smile while Tsubaki only grunted back "Your things has been loaded in the van and everyone is waiting for you and Tsubaki-san" Hikari politely said and Tsubaki only snorted

"Tsubaki" Sakura scolded "Greet her properly" she said, her hands on her hips and glaring playfully

Tsubaki snorted and rolled his eyes "You don't scare me....." he trailed off and looked behind her and gulped "But your lover boy does" after saying that he properly greeted Hikari and practically run out of the Hospital

Sakura and Hikari blinked dumbfounded, and Sakura being curious made a move to turn around only to stop when an arm found their way around her waist "You shouldn't be walking around this long, you need to rest" Sakura heard Kuroko murmured from her hair

Sakura huffed "Kuroko, I'm an injured patient not a handicapped patient" she said crossing her arms

Kuroko rolled his eyes and tightened his grip on Sakura "All the same to me" he said and lifted her from the ground, causing for Sakura to yelp and hug Kuroko's neck

"Kuroko" she scolded while blushing like a tomato, Kuroko just chuckled and carried on walking, ignoring Sakura's protest

Hikari just followed while blushing like she was the one being carried in a public place, although Kuroko and Sakura was not officially out, everyone around them knows that they'll end up together seeing as they're sweet as hell

Hikari had seen countless of couples around Tokyo but she couldn't compare Sakura and Kuroko's relationship from others

'I wish I could have a love like that' Hikari thought, all her life Hikari believed that she will find the right boy for her, but after countless of courting from boys in her neighborhood and here in Tokyo, she couldn't seem to feel the spark she's been craving once she started thinking of starting a relationship with someone, but then the face of her father beating her passed before her eyes and she suddenly halt to a stop, thinking about the past made her realize that her family was the one who made her like this, a girl desperate for love, a girl seeking affection, coming to that conclusion she became teary eyed and she curled her fist to her side trying to stop the tears 'So pathetic' She bitterly thought to herself looking down

"Hey! Come on" Tsubaki's voice penetrated her thoughts and she immediately wiped her tears and run towards them

Hikari forced a smile and got in the van as well "Penny for your thoughts?" Akihito asked making her look at him with surprise "How do you know that I'm thinking of something?" Hikari asked

Akihito shrugged "Guess" he said and looked at her "Now, what's the matter?"

Hikari looked at him and heaved a defeated sigh "Nothing, just useless things"

"Doesn't look like it" Akihito said leaning back on his seat

They heard Kuroko asked if they were all in, "YEAH!" Everyone yelled in chorus

Hikari leaned back and heaved a sad sigh again, she was surprised when Akihito suddenly spoke to her again "You know, sometimes it's better to let your feelings and thoughts out once in a while, because if you keep holding it in, you'll find yourself suddenly breaking and crying"
