Chapter Three:
When Kagami and Murasakibara eat, you are in for trouble!
''Ryouta... I understand that rule, but I asked Taiga.'' Akashi said, an awkward smile present on his face. 'Please, don't let it be true.' is what he thought. ''It's me. And my name is Kagami!'' Kise said franitically. ''Kagamicchi is so tall.'' Kagami said. ''No, no, no. Bakagami isn't participating. You said so yourself.'' Aomine said, as he pointed to Akashi. ''I did. I didn't think that Taiga would be joining us, since Haizaki had specified that it was about the G.O.M.'' Akashi said, suprised that Kise and Kagami had swapped. ''Are you okay, Ryouta?'' he asked.
''I didn't think Kagamicchi had to participate as well. What if he gets hurt?'' 'Kagami' panicked. ''Oi, that counts for all of us.'' Aomine said, before looking to 'Kise'. ''At least you share the same fate. Not so funny now, is it.'' the tanned player said. ''I never said it was, Ahomine.'' ''No, but you laughed at my mistakes. You're bound to make them too.'' Aomine said.
''Aominecchi, you are being mean.'' 'Kagami' said. The real Kagami coughed, before saying, ''Anyhow, I think we should consider keeping this inbetween us and Midorima. As much as we need help, we should seek it from each other. It might to be confusing for strangers.'' he explained. ''Kagami-chin has a point.'' Murasakibara said.
''I suppose.'' Akashi at least seemed to consider it. Kagami blushed as he said, ''Though this feels kinda weird. Is this how you guys have been surviving this?'' Kise blushed, and Kuroko flicked his forehead. ''That's not a very nice thing to say.'' ''I meant the switching, not Kise's body. But seriously, you do need to eat more.'' Kagami said, as he rubbed his forehead. ''No can do. I need to stick to the diet my manager gave me.'' Kise said, sticking out Kagami's tongue. ''I'm going to Machi burger and feed you as many hamburgers as I ussually ate, pretty boy.'' Kagami teased.
Aomine dry-heaved before saying, ''Now that we've made some rules, can we go? I promised Satsuki to take her shopping. She'll throw a fit if I don't show up on time. Say Kise, you like shopping right? Switch with me.'' ''It doesn't work like that, Ahomine.'' 'Kagami' said. ''I could try.'' Aomine said, before walking away. ''Mine-chin doens't seem very serious about this all'' Murasakibara said. ''I can't blame him'' 'Kise' said, before adding ''The situation seems so surreal.'' ''Too bad Daiki isn't right. The situation wouldn't be so dire if we at least could decide who to switch with.'' Akashi said, before Kagami felt the weird sensation, and returned to his own body.
''I'm me again. Damn, I even missed feeling my ever-present hunger.'' he said, as he petted his belly. ''Your stomach is a pit.'' Kise told him. ''Not my fault. And if my stomach is a pit, then what is the stomach from that purple giant.'' Kagami retorted. ''Kaga-chin, you're even worst than me.'' Murasakibara replied lazily. ''Now that we've estabelished the rules, we should be able to maintain the situation somewhat better.'' Akashi said.
They looked at the list of rules,
1. Try and act like eachother, instead of giving in to your own behaviour. It's suspicious and emberrassing.
2. Call the person you've switched with to share information about your whereabouts and duties.
3. At least to try discover why this is happening, and why us.
4. No mastrubating, courtesy of Aomine.
5. To keep this all a secret from anyone other than Midorima and us.
''Sounds about right to me.'' Akashi said. ''Aomine's rule is typical Ahomine.'' Kagami said. ''What happens if we forget to apply one of them-ssu.'' Kise wondered. ''Then we'll have to make sure the damage is not any worse than what Daiki did to us.'' Akashi replied. 'But will it be entertaining enough with these rules.' Kagami wondered, before shrugging. It was the G.O.M, they were entertaining enough without these conditions when it came to basketball.
''I think we should do what Aominecchi did just now, and take a break. We could meet each sunday again.'' Kise suggested. ''I think we should meet friday and sunday. Seeing that you are going shopping with Takao-kun, maybe he'll pick up on signals about what's going on. He tends to be sharp.'' Kuroko said. ''Friday evening, at this gym.'' Akashi confirmed. ''I'll contact Aomine-kun.'' Kuroko said, before they each nodded, and then looked at Murasakibara.
''How are you going to take that thing home with you?'' Akashi asked amused. ''Mido-chin always gives unpractical gifts.'' Murasakibara complained. Kuroko tried to pick it up, but it seemed impossible. ''I'll give you a ride home, Atsushi.'' Akashi said. ''That won't be necessary, Aka-chin. I'll come to pick it up tomorrow.'' Murasakibara said, before strolling off.
''Okay, Kuroko, do you want to go get a milkshake?'' Kagami asked, making the teal-haired stare at him, and nod. ''Kise, Akashi?'' Kagami asked, but Akashi shook his head. ''I should go and call someone. Settling some matters.'' he vaquely explained. Kagami could only assume it was because of the damage Aomine had done. Kise shook his head as well, ''I'm tired, so I want to go take a walk, before I head home. Maybe I'll get some homework done.'' he said.
''Nonsense.'' Kuroko said, before grabbing Kise's sleeves, and whispered, ''Kagami-kun would really like it. And you can't hide it forever.'' Kise blushed, before Kuroko said, ''Kagami-kun, Kise-kun'd love to come with us.'' ''Kurokocchi, I didn't actually say I'd go!'' Kise protested, but the teal-haired ignored him. ''Kagami-kun, you're paying.'' Kuroko said, before dragging the protesting model with him. ''EH? Why do I end up paying? Kuroko, answer me, damn it!'' Kagami shouted in american as he ran after his friends.
Akashi watched his friends go, before pulling his phone out of his pocket. 'Would it be too early? Even I still don't know why this happening.' he thought, as he stared at the device. 'It still isn't Haizaki's doing, I'm sure of it.' He stared to where his friends had been. 'Why was he picking Ryouta for this task anyway. Probably because Ryouta is gullible.'
He still wondered what Haizaki meant by, as soon as you can answer the questions you have about your former teammates. Akashi's knowledge was absolute, and he made sure that he had been properly involved in the G.O.M players lives. Aside from that, he had gained enough information on their skills, and persona. What more was there that he could possibly want to know? Akashi wasn't sure about that. ''Kuso.'' he cursed, before putting the cellphone back into his pocket.
The upcoming week passed with some (funny) mistakes, if you asked Aomine. The others however were not as amused. Not the tanned player had caused similair problems, he had actually behaved properly, as Midorima and Akashi had told him. So when they met friday, he couldn't help but laugh harshly as he faced his gloomy looking friends. Akashi raised an eyebrow, before he asked, ''We had rules, so why looking so down?'' His week had been rather good so far.
''I gave you advice and lucky items. I even air-mailed some extra.'' Midorima said, but the others kept staring to the ground. ''You don't want to know.'' Kuroko said. ''Sorry Tetsu, we kinda do.'' Aomine said. ''No, you don't.'' Kise groaned. ''Kuro-chin, it wasn't that bad.'' Murasakibara said. ''I wasn't referring to that.'' Kuroko said. ''Are we even getting answers?'' Aomine asked.
''Not mine.'' Kuroko said. ''Tetsuya will be excluded.'' Akashi simply stated, and before Aomine could say something, he added, ''My orders are absolute. Now, Atsushi, Ryouta, Taiga, what went wrong?'' he asked. ''You used my body to tell Kasamatsu-sempai the same thing you just told Aominecchi.'' Kise accused. Aomine could barely hold his laugh. ''But you're forgiven, because Kasamatsu-sempai figured I was merely copying you, which he has been kicking me for the day afterwards.''
''Your copy-skills come in handy when it's related to this, Kise-kun.'' Kuroko said. ''I guess.'' Kise said, still looking kind of down. ''It's kinda amusing when I saw Yukio's face after I told him that my orders were absolute.'' Akashi said, trying to console Kise. ''That wasn't even so bad.'' Aomine told the blond. ''Yeah, I know. I'm not willing to tell the bad part of my week.'' Kise replied.
''The fuck?'' Aomine said, for the lack of better words. ''I understand Kise-kun.'' Kuroko said with a sigh. ''We'll discuss these matter later on. Taiga, Atsushi, what occured?'' Akashi asked. ''Kagami-chin is truely a bottomless pit.'' Murasakibara said, sounding depressed. ''Allow me, Akashi-kun.'' Kuroko said.
''You see, these idiots switched and figured it was a good idea to see where the other persons limits were, regarding food. They headed to a restaurant, and ordered everything. And when I say everything, I mean everything.'' he added. ''I think I start to see an issue here.'' Akashi said.
''After emptying the restaurant, we happened to switch with them'' Kise told him. ''Clearly, they were passed their limits and we ended up puking over their tables in their stead.'' Kuroko said. ''But it didn't end there. They gained new bodies, and had gained the urge to test them out as well. By the time we had done the dishes for the restaurant, because they couldn't repay the bill, we switched back, and it happened all over again. And since my mom heard it, she things I've issues with my weight.'' Kise said. ''So what was with the bottomless pit then?'' Akashi asked Murasakibara. ''Kagami still ate my pocky after we switched back.''
Aomine couldn't bear to withheld his tears of joy, as he rolled over the ground, laughing his ass off. ''Nandeyo, health issues were the last things on your mind, were they?'' Midorima scolded, before adding, ''Murasakibara, I told you there were going to be some stomach troubles.'' ''Kise-chin and Kuro-chin already made us repay them. I don't have any money left for snacks.'' Murasakibara pouted.
''I hardly see that as an issue.'' Akashi said. ''Taiga?'' he asked. ''Alex thinks I'm talented of cutting her hair, because we switched. She already clung to much to me, now she even nags about me cutting her hair more often.'' ''It was due for a proper cut.'' Akashi said. 'You just like cutting things too much.' Is what the others were thinking.
''Anyhow, that's not why we are here. Ryouta, you are going out shopping with Takao tommorow. The guy tends to be sharp, and if one of us switches, it'll cause problems, because he tends to talk to people a lot. If word got out, we're in for a heap of problems.'' Akashi said. ''Give Takaocchi some credit, he can keep a secret or two.'' Kise defended, but Midorima shook his head.
''He's bound to get involved too much. It's for the best if he doesn't get to know. Before Haizaki decided to involve him too, nandeyo.'' Kise awed before saying, ''It's really cute you worry for Takaocchi.'' ''I don't want that guy in my body. Bakagami is bad enough as it is.'' Aomine said. ''We haven't switched yet.'' Kagami dully noted. ''Dear lord, please spare us that fate. The world will end when you two switch.'' Kuroko deadpanned.
''Takaocchi knows I tend to copy people. When we switch, we can always go and play one-on-one.'' Kise said. ''That's really clever, Kise-kun.'' Kuroko said. ''I hope it'll work out.'' Akashi said, still feeling kind of worried.
