Hey, this is just a short chapter this time. I wanted to tell you guys that I'm thinking about making some one shots where I explain how the GoM found their mates? How about it?

Anyway, enjoy the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I sadly don't own KnB.

The next day had been rather uneventful. After he had breakfast together with the rainbow-squad he was told that a meeting would be held in the afternoon and then everything would be finally explained to him.

"Just relax for now Taiga."

Was what he was told by Tatsuya, but that was a surprisingly difficult thing to do since he was in an unknown place - which turned out to be a huge ass mansion - with nothing to do.
In the end Kagami decided he might as well explore the estate so that he would be cured from his boredom.

First would be the second floor where his room was located.

He came by the living room he had been in yesterday and several bathrooms which were far too big for his standards. Really? Bathtubs in the size of a swimming pool, mosaic floors and golden faucets?

He snorted under his breath - nobody needed this, such knick-knack was unnecessary and even more so ridiculous and useless.
He continued on down to the first floor, but found there wasn't much difference to the one before.

The ground floor had the same rooms the other ones had too. But contrary to them he found a kitchen there and promptly ate a few snacks. After a moments consideration he pocketed a few chocolate bars he found for later and continued on his way.

Halfway though the corridor he happened to look out the window and discovered the enormous garden. He could see all kinds of flowers blooming in every colour possible and felt a smile tug at his lips.

With a new goal in mind he headed outside.

After a little tour in the garden he realized it really had every flower he could think of. There were red, pink, yellow and white Roses, Pink Colombines, Stargazer Lilies, Chinese Hibiscus and Lavender, but that was only a little bit of the numerous plants growing and thriving here.
As he looked around some more excitement and curiosity were plainly visible on his face, not unlike a small child

Kagami was about to head over to the Bleeding Hearts in the farther back of the beautiful garden, but him tripping over something - or rather someone - and falling face first on the ground foiled his plans.

"Ow...what the hell?"

His words were slightly muffled because he had his hand pressed against his nose which was hurting badly now.

"You okay over there? Should have watched were you're going."

That alluring voice. No doubt it was him. Slowly he turned around, hand still holding his nose and glowering at Aomine Daiki, who was sitting in the grass and casually leaned against a tree.

"Shut up, that hurt you bastard!"

"Now now, it ain't my fault you can't properly look where you're going."

Aomine held barely back a laugh at the redhead sitting in front of him and instead sent an amused smirk his way. He couldn't help teasing the guy; he looked cute when he was angry.

"Screw this, I'm gone!"

In reality he wanted to stay longer, even if Aomine was making fun of him. He liked to hear the others voice - he figured it had to do with the whole 'mate' thing - but his pride wouldn't let him. The moment he tried to get up though, Aomine suddenly grabbed his hand and pulled him back down to sit in front of him.

"Calm down I was only kidding, geez."

"Yeah right." he puffed out his cheeks and looked away, clearly annoyed and Aomine only rolled his eyes in response. He reached out with his hand and touched Kagami's cheek, his thumb softly caressing the bridge of his nose.

"You're fine, right?"

Kagami could only stare blankly at Aomine, but oddly he liked his touch and found himself almost leaning into it. He nodded numbly at Aomine's question. In response he got a tiny smile from the blue haired male which only seconds after turned into a mischief grin before he ruffled Kagami's hair and got up.

"See ya later!"

Kagami didn't know how long he sat there, alone under the tree with his face practically burning up.

After he had calmed down enough - and it had taken longer than he would have liked - he decided he had explored more than enough and headed back to his room.

But it seemed it just wasn't his day. When he rounded the corner he bumped right into Murasakibara. The only reason he did not land on his ass on the floor was because the purple giant had grabbed his collar and pulled him back on his feet.

"I'm sorry. Thanks, man." he threw a grateful look in his saviours' direction.

"Hmm...no problem, I guess..."

After a short silence Kagami remembered the snacks he had swiped earlier from the kitchen and started rummaging through his pockets. Meanwhile Murasakibara watched the other curiously wondering what Kagami was searching so frantically for.

"Ah!" finally he found what he was looking for and held it out for the purple haired boy.

"You like sweets, right? So you can have this as thanks if you want!"

He smiled kindly at Murasakibara, who just stared at him for a moment before slowly taking the snack offered to him.

"Hmm...I like Kaga-chin."

Was what he said before he ruffled Kagami's hair and continued on his way. Kagami just stared after him, wondering why everyone seemed to have a thing for messing up his hair.

The next chapter will explain what mates are and then it will focus a bit more on the GoM and Kagami interactions.

Until next time!
