Chapter 7: Binge Eaters of Japan
Still love you guys. Thanks for all the reviews. Still trying too make things longer and more... urm... not rushed? And I'm sorry for not updating. I've been pretty stressed for a few months, and I still am. Trying to sleep more now so I am sure I'll be fine, so don't worry about me.
To clear up confusion:-
The Seirin group consists of everyone, NOT including Kiyoshi (because he is getting treatment), Kuroko, Kagami and the old man advisor.
Kuroko is rich. Akashi is rich. Kise is rich. The rest are average.
Ghouls eyes are completely black, the pupil is red.
Kagunes are kind of like an extra organ in a ghoul body, which can be used as a weapon, its appearance depends on the person.
Akashi's kagune is scissors, as stated in the last chapter. The rest are unknown at the moment. It will be revealed, don't worry.
Nanase Natsuki is a doctor working for the CCG. Has a missing sister. Parents are doctors working for the CCG.
Hanamiya and his father are ghoul investigators, part of the CCG. The mother is dead. (Muahahaha)
Kagami is Project 10 of a currently un-revealed project.
Now that is done, of anyone is still confused, just ask.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the plot and a few OCs.
It was late at night now, and time had passed in a blur to the group. Reaching what seems to be a mass of trees, the pitch black cars drove onto the smooth stone path. The cars didn't stop until they reached a mansion, which seemed to stand out, high and mighty. The sign in front of the mansion was gold and it spelt out a familiar name to the Seirin members.
Akashi Residence.
As they got out of the car, with Kise in the lead, "This is Akashicchi's house! I know, it's pretty huge! He's extremely rich!" Kise exclaimed excitedly. The 9 teens looked around once they entered the front gate. The actual entrance seemed metres away, with a pearl white fountain which are surrounded with a red rose garden. The flowers were so fresh and it let out a beautiful aroma in the air. The walls surrounding the residence was made out of marble, which had a fancy design on it. The mansion, which stood a grand 6 stories high, was as big as a palace and was lit up brightly.
'No wonder Akashi goes to Rakuzan...' This thought was on their mind as they stepped onto the front door mat. Looking down, it was one of those expensive silk mats. It had so much detail, they felt really guilty because they stepped on it with their dirty basketball shoes.
Before they could all marvel anymore at the mansion, the door opened smoothly and a butler came out. His skin was pale and his long hair was a dark hazelnut brown, which was tied into a ponytail. His eyes were the same colour as his hair and they were kind yet strict at the same time. He wore a midnight black tailcoat with white buttons.
"Kise-sama, Akashi-sama has been expecting your arrival." The butler addressed Kise, then bowed towards the Seirin group, "My name is Takaoka, I assume you are from Seirin?" They nodded in reply, "It's nice to meet you." He bowed once again, and this time, he opened the door wide and invited them in, "We will be expecting other guest that will meet you soon. Till then, make yourselves at home."
"How does he know us?" "Why are we even here?" Multiple questions could be heard from the Seirin group but both Kise and Takaoka ignored them.
They walked in and was soon amazed once again. A chandelier hung from the ceiling, which lit the whole room. A red velvet carpet was stretched out all the way to the next door which was bigger than the entrance. At each side of the carpet, there were maids bowing down as if the teens were royalty. At both sides of the door, stood a grand staircase curving upwards to a balcony and the second floor.
Kise walked normally forwards, following Takaoka to the middle of the while the rest were not used to such treatment.
"Ryouta." Akashi was seen walking from the balcony outside, wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers. Kise greeted him with a with a serious face which was hardly ever shown, due to his childish behavior most of the time. Akashi nodded at Takaoka, who walked away after.
"Come, follow me." Akashi's demanding voice echoed throughout the hall as he waited for the group to follow him. After following him, they soon reached a room which had a traditional Japanese tatami mat. A long table situated in the middle of the room had different varieties of Japanese sweets and green tea in teapots that looked fragile and expensive. Around the long table, there were cushions that had flower designs on it.
"Sit." Akashi once again commanded, as if they were dogs and he was the owner. Kise sat on the cushion on the right side of Akashi, and Seirin awkwardly sat at the other end of the table, leaving 6 empty cushions in between.
It has been only 5 minutes and the tension and awkwardness between the group was high and almost intense and deadly, and it would be if it wasn't for the constant slurping of green tea coming from Kise.
Then, after torturing silence, a commotion could be heard from outside the room.
"I can't open the bag..."
"Nobody cares about your coffee sweets, nanodayo."
"Don't insult him like that Midorin! We all eat them once in a while."
"No point breaking their fight, Satsuki. Man, I wish I'm sleeping right now."
"You're lazy, nanodayo."
"Huh?! You wanna fight?!"
"Calm down, Dai-chan!"
The door opened, and everyone's mouth was agape. The other members of the GOM wore casual clothing, except for Aomine and Momoi, who wore their school uniform. Soon, they stopped fighting and greeted Akashi, while glancing at the Seirin group in wonder and confusion. Of course, they had the same reaction.
"W-why is everyone here?" Furihata voiced out what was on everyone's minds.
"We have one more person we have to wait for." Akashi stated, ignoring their questions once again while sipping his tea, "Sit down and stop making a commotion in my house."
"Gomen Gomen, Akashi-kun. It was all Dai-chan's fault." Momoi said, smiling innocently.
"EH?!"
"Excuse me." A voice could be heard from the door, which soon swung open after, revealing a teal-blue haired teen, "Good evening, Akashi-kun, minna-san."
"KUROKO?!"
Kuroko's POV
Why are they here? I could smell humans immediately when Takaoka invited me through the front door, and surprisingly I thought of Seirin. However I shook that thought away.
Now, nine members of the Seirin group sat opposite of Akashi-kun in a semi-circle around the table. I quickly greeted them and walked towards the empty cushion in between Aomine-kun and Akashi-kun.
Really, Akashi-kun? You brought everyone here? They aren't even your friends. I'm actually surprised you agreed to everything... What are you planning?
"Now that everyone is here, I'd like to explain to Seirin why I brought them here." Akashi-kun said, "You all must be wondering why the CCG, the group who suppose to protect the humankind from ghouls, went to attack your school. Ryouta, report."
"Sure~ Ano... There is a total of 2 humans killed at Seirin, and a total of... " Kise paused and gulped, "26 ghoul deaths from where I passed by, I am not sure of the deaths of the rest from the other side of the school."
"Thank you. Tetsuya, do you know any of this?"
I paused and gathered all the information, "I only know of the fire, however I was not informed of the CCG attack." I took a deep breathe, calm my nerves, "Akashi-kun, what do you plan to do to... " I took a small glance at my team, "...Them?"
"I have decided to reveal who we are." Akashi stated and most of us gasped.
"I'm actually fine with that... *munch munch*... I can crush them before they go and report." Murasakibara spoke up, pausing to eat his coffee sweets. The others agreed with him, and looked at me, waiting for my decision. What he said was true, they are just humans after all.
"Fine. If something goes wrong, all of you owe me coffee." I said, half-annoyed at the stares.
Akashi-kun turned, facing directly towards Seirin, who looked baffled at the sudden movement.
"We are Ghouls, the Binge Eaters of Japan."
Kagami's POV
I'm so hungry!
I'm so hungry!
I"M SO HUNGRY!
I want to eat!
I want to eat!
I WANT TO EAT!
Natsuki's POV
"Project 10 is starving himself, he doesn't know his situation. What should we do, doctor?"
I smiled at the monitor, showing a curled up Kagami, "Maybe~" I paused, "Maybe~ We should put another ghoul in there with him~"
There are tons of things I want to try out, Taiga-kun. But now, how do I find another ghoul who isn't insane like the rest in my lab?
"Wait for my orders~ I need to do something~"
A/N: Is this long enough? I seriously dunno, it's more than 1000 words. :)
Once again, sorry it took long... At first, I planned out a completely different place for Seirin to go to with Kise, but then it didn't seem to make sense. Wanna guess where Seirin went before I changed it?
Anyways, I'll try and update more frequently.
