Not what we'd expect

Chapter one: Murasakibara

Murasakibara hadn't exactly planned on going over to Kise-chin's home, but after the accident (and after he'd happily pulverized the rock that dared harm Kuro-chin); he'd been mowing down through his infinite stash of candy far faster than usual.

Today, he had actually run out.

He'd thought of going over to Momoi-chin's, but the girl had been hiding over at Aomine-chin's, crying and whining, blaming herself.

Overall, she was being annoying, and Aomine-chin was never one to help Murasakibara with his "addiction", as other's called it.

He considered Midorima-chin for a while, but the young man was obsessed with the idea that he'd somehow read the horoscope wrong, or heard it, or, whatever.

It didn't really concern the candy loving giant. What did it matter what that blasted thing said anyway? It's not like there future was pre-ordained or anything, and, even if it was, he was beyond certain that if Kuro-chin was able of proving Akashi-chin wrong, then no random "all seeing" strange person (or perhaps it was a thing? He'd never really paid attention) could ever predict Kuro-chin's future.

And he didn't understand Momoi-chin's (or Aomine-chin's, though he hid it well) whining either. Kuro-chin would be disappointed with them if he'd heard, he'd be sad, and if there was anything in this world to fear (beyond Akashi-chin's wrath); it was Kuro-chin's sad and disappointed face.

He would have headed over to Akashi-chin's place, but the ex-captain was busy setting up plans on how to kill off several family members of the drunk that had run into them (perhaps it was a slight guilty pleasure, for the whole of GoM, to join in on said plans).

Thus, the only other person who understood Murasakibara's way of thinking was, surprisingly, Kise-chin—who'd been busy working and trying to get the other's out of their shell's –sure, the model may be busy currently, but, really, the candy stash was gone, gone, and Kuro-chin wasn't going to conveniently appear and refill it anytime soon!

With a shake of his head the giant trudged into the rather expensive hotel, completely bypassing the clerk—who didn't even bother trying to stop him, all the employer's having learned long ago that such an idea was…impossible.

Taking the elevator the giant quickly ascended to the 30th floor, which, not to anyone's surprise, belonged entirely to the model. And, with an ease and speed granted only to those who are finally granted a way out of withdrawal symptoms, he headed straight for the Kise-chin's current residence, room…something or other (he hadn't really bothered to memorize the numbers, it was pointless, really, as far as the giant was concerned, all that mattered was knowing which door it was).

Not even bothering to knock Murasakibara barged in, almost with a kick. Almost, of course, because the door had swung open right before his foot had met the wood.

Did this mean Kise-chin had gotten off early?

Most likely not, the man was still probably meeting with…people (employers, business men, etc.), in the other rooms frequenting the floor (what else was the model going to do with over twenty some rooms?).

So, what does a random opening door mean?

Murasakibara shrugged; a much easier entry. And a quicker way to get to his emergency, emergency, emergency supply (for, yes, Kise-chin and the others—besides Aomine-chin, who refused—all had secret stashes of candy hidden around their homes, just in case).

However, this didn't mean that he knew where the stash was, he didn't have the slightest clue, but that wasn't going to stop him, he'd find it, even if he had to tear the whole place to shreds.

He needed his candy!

Rolling up the sleeves of his jacket the giant grinned, marching forth into the expensive looking living room (for it had a wide screen TV, an expensive couch—he only knew this because Kise-chin had complained about him eating ice-cream on it—a wonderful view, a beautiful glass table with a frost like design of a forest, and several other things he didn't particularly care to note).

First, he began by searching the bathroom, checking behind (and even in) the toilet, which brought about the sound of a rather familiar laugh—though he ignored it in favor of his search.

Then he went back into the living room and searched under the couch cushions, behind the TV, and, just when he was about to flip the table over and crack it's leg's open (just to see if they were full of candy, 'cause in movies they hide stuff in table legs, or chair legs, didn't they?), he heard a startled gasp, and felt, more then heard, the almost non-existent request to wait, before a sack, open and obviously full to the brim with candy, was practically thrown at his head.

"You shouldn't go about breaking Kise-kun's belongings, what would happen if he got angry and refused to ever help you again?"

Blinking the giant picked up the fallen sack, plucked a candy from the floor, popped it in his mouth, and stared. "Kuro-chin?" he asked, squinting his eyes, trying to see his currently invisible (and supposedly dead) friend.

"Murasakibara-kun," the voice sighed, "please refrain from speaking with your mouth full."

"Kuro-chin?" he couldn't help but repeat, though this time while struggling to keep from crying as Kuro-chin's figure slowly blinked into existence, struggling to keep himself from hugging the sad looking teen who couldn't quit seem to look him in the eye.

"Murasakibara-kun…" the ghost (Murasakibara was sad to admit, but found it slightly ironic) began, taking a deep breath (that he probably didn't even need, the giant thought in slight amusement), and finally looking him in the eye, "please, refrain from telling the others."

Murasakibara wanted to ask why, but as he plopped another candy in his mouth he shrugged. There was nothing wrong with agreeing with such a request, not when the other's where all moping about, he didn't want Kuro-chin to see them like that, not one bit (and he was sure that the moment he'd tell any of the members of GoM they'd come running).

"Does Kise-chin know?"

Blue eyes blinked, a small head tilting to the side, "Of course, this is his home after all."

The giant nodded, plopping five more candies into his mouth, "Where is he?" So he could explain exactly why Kuro-chin was stuck living as a ghost in a rather boring hotel room.

"Busy," Kuro-chin blandly replied, eyes staring straight into his soul and most likely seeing his intentions, "I'm sorry, but could you leave before he returns? He'll be tired."

"Why?"

"I'll make sure to have Kise-kun buy five boxes your favorite and have them delivered to your house by the end of the week."

Kuro-chin had perhaps been hanging out with Akashi-chin far too often.

"Have them delivered here."

The blue orbs blinked in understanding, and a small smile twitched into life for five long seconds, "Thank you."

Murasakibara shrugged, walking around Kuro-chin, sack in hand and another five candies already within his grasp, "See you later Kuro-chin~" he called before walking out the door, and past Kise-chin, who barely registered his presence.

"Kurokocchi," Kise began, staring out the door, shoulders sagging in defeat, "Was that Murasakibarachi?"

Kuroko simply nodded, a small, miniscule smile appearing on his face, "You've been raided."

A/N: Hiya! Alright, so I know I said I'd do a crossover with DP, and I probably will, if I get to the end of this, 'cause I'll be using this as a precursor to the crossover, that way it doesn't seem so…random? Though you'll have to thank a certain Guest who requested this, although, I'm not sure if this was exactly what they were asking for…

Either way, all I need is one review, 1, one, 1, and I'll post the next chap.
