Chapter 3: Some difficulties

GOMENASAI! I have no reason for not updating (except for 2 reasons, extreme laziness and procrastination. but thats not a reason... right?). Anyways, thanks for all the reviews! I'm really happy. Plus, this chapter is going to be long. XD

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the storyline.

Kagami's POV

6:00 p.m.

We met up in school and started walking towards the park like Kuroko told us. The Generation of Miracles had became good friends with us, so, what can go wrong?

"Kuroko seems a bit off just now..." I said to no one in particular.

Soon, we reached the park that was a few blocks away from Maji. The park itself had only a few people jogging or walking, mainly because of the recent news of ghoul attacks, so everyone's cautious.

We were stuck in an awkward silence while we were waiting. They just took so long! One by one, the GOM came. First, Kise, then Midorima, then Aomine and then Murasakibara. "Umm, Where is Kuroko?" I asked, and I felt a poke on my arm.

"I'm here, Kagami-kun." A small voice replied. I turned around expecting Kuroko to be there, but he wasn't. "I'm in front of you." I turned around again to face Kuroko.

I jumped 20 stories high, "KUROKO! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!"

"Kagami-kun, it's not good to curse." Kuroko said, cutely wag his finger at me.

I choked on air and blushed. Its so out of character for Kuroko. Is he drunk?! "Wait," I find myself saying, "Where's Akashi? He's late."

"Akashi is always like that." Midorima replied, pushing up his glasses to the bridge of his nose.

"It's just his style!" Kise exclaimed, copying Kuroko's pose. He IS the copycat of the GOM. He earned a kick from me. He deserved it.

"I'm sorry I had to keep you waiting." A commanding voice said. Glancing at Akashi, I saw he wore quite, loose clothing. Just a red T-shirt and jeans. I saw that the GOM and Kuroko wore similar clothes. (Aomine-Dark blue, Kise-yellow, Midorima-green, Murasakibara-purple, Kuroko-sky blue, you know... the colour of their hair?) "Let's get going."

No one's POV

Hanamiya Makoto has a "normal life" at Kirisaki Daichi, crushing his opponents' dreams and being the leader of it all. It is VERY fun, he would say. Unless... they fight back, but that's a different story. Something else is more fun though. Well... for him at least. Being a ghoul investigator was one of the best things he does after "normal stuff". He was reluctant, at first, being scared, almost terrified, when his father, Hanamiya Takatsu, suggested that he could become a ghoul investigator, like himself. His mother got eaten by a ghoul a few years ago, maybe that's why Takatsu is so motivated in his job. And it might be why he agreed.

After bringing along his son with him to a meeting and a little bit of training, he recieved his quinque (Its a weapon used by ghoul investigators that are made from a ghoul's kagune, which is kinda of like a special power for ghouls) and partnered up with his father, was a good-to-go ghoul investigator. He was, after all, a REALLY sadistic person.

Looking out of his apartment window, the sky was orange as the sun sets in the distance. He was free today, no ghoul work, it was no fun indeed. He sat in a chair, his head resting on the cool table and looked at the window till the sun went down. It has been 3 hours of just sitting and staring. Mainly because he has nothing better to do. His father was out, probably investigating some new ghoul appearances in Japan. Sadly, he couldn't bring him along. Even if he did, it would be just boring paperwork. NOT his style at all.

He looked at his watch, another hour has passed, which means he sat there doing nothing for four hours. 'Congrats Makoto, you are really that bored.' He said to himself, frowning at his useless attitude at the moment, he was desperate for a ghoul attack, even though it's a bad thing to happen.

As if God answered his prayers, his phone rang. Nobody phoned him, because he doesn't have any friends, not that he need any friends. Picking up his phone, he took one good look at the caller ID got him standing on his feet, "Hello. Hanamiya Makoto is talking."

"Makoto. Come to the park. It looks like a doctor went to far with her experiments with humans and ghouls." Takatsu's voice had no emotion, "There was only one test subject. And he survived. Injuries aren't fatal, just some scratches that needs stitching. He's on the way to the hospital as we speak."

"Name?"

"Later. Come here now." And with that, the line went dead. Hanamiya lowered his phone and the excitement never left his eyes.

No one's POV

The GoM (including Kuroko) and Seirin sat in different tables. Kagami Taiga did not know what to expect. He thought of a tense and suffocating atmosphere coming from the GoM, but no. They were chatting normally and smiling like friends. Man, even Akashi and Kuroko were smiling. Smiling about what exactly, he didn't know. They whispered to each other, only thing loud about their table was Kise's constant and annoying laughter and Aomine's bickering. Was this how they act? Or are they in a good mood?

"That's a bit unusual, isn't it?" Koganei whispered to Mitobe, who nodded in agreement, sipping on soda. "Mitobe says that they seem happy."

The GoM stood up, and walked towards them. Kuroko bowed, "Minna-san, I'm really sorry but we have to take our leave now." Akashi had a smirk on his face and Kagami's anger flared up as he suspected that Akashi had something to do for their sudden leave. He clenched his fists until it turned white. As he ws about to shout some sense into Kuroko, Hyuga slapped his mouth shut.

"Then we'll leave as well then, since we have nothing else to do." Hyuga said, standing up. The devil coach of Seirin nodded in approval and got up to her feet.

"W-wait, what about Kuroko?" Koganei asked uncertainly, twiddling his thumbs.

"He's with us." A simple sentence from Akashi Seijuuro got everybody in the restaurant quiet. After that, they walked out and left a baffled Seirin.

Ring Ring Ring...

A phone rang, Kagami saw it was his and he picked it up, "Hello? Kagami Taiga speaking."

"Ano, Taiga-kun? It's me, Natsuki, Nanase Natsuki. I was wondering if we could meet up today, in the park. I'm already here, so... I hope you can come."

"Ah, Natsuki-chan! Of course. I'm nearby."

"I just need some company to go back home. Sorry to bother you."

"It's fine!"

"Thanks. See you."

"Bye."

He shoved his phone in his pocket in embaressment. Furihata caught Kagami's attention, "Kagami, who's Natsuki-chan?"

Then he was bombarded with questions, like, "Is she your gilfriend?" "Are you two dating?" "How long have you two been together?". Kagami Taiga had to admit that he don't really have an answer to any of the questions they asked. Natsuki was just a friend, then soon a good friend. They hung out often, when he was free. More like dated twice, in his mind. She probably doesn't think of it that way.

"She's a good friend of mine and we... uh... hang out together." Kagami mumbled the last part, barely above a whisper.

"Is she a basketball idiot like you?" Koganei asked innocently, while the group burst out laughing.

"Ehem... I gotta go then." He said, red from anger at the last question. He stormed out the restaurant and made his way to the park.

OKAY... Is the chapter long enough? Geez. My hard-work and tears doing this. Anyways, thanks again for all the reviews! Please Review, favourite and follow this story if you already haven't. Big announcement for Tokyo Ghoul fans, for those who are really outdated (no offence), Season 2 is coming in January! Go watch the little teaser. It's really short. I'm really excited for it and I have been fangirling really hard (really honest here, I screamed so loud my parents scolded me). Look forward to my next chapter!
