Finally the time for the meeting had come and Kagami felt slightly nervous. Once again he found himself seated between Aomine and his brother with Akashi and Kuroko sitting across from him.
"You wanted to know more about the meaning of 'mates', am I correct?"
Kagami answered 'yes'.
"Tetsuya, if you may."
"Well, Kagami-san, I believe you have a faint idea what it means to be mates, yes?"
Kagami hesitated a moment - all this love stuff wasn't really something he had much experience with.
"I guess it means that people are meant to be together or something?"
Kuroko smiled faintly and nodded.
"Yes, you're right. If two people who are meant to be together - as you put it - meet they feel attracted to each other, no matter the circumstances. It can't really be explained why it's like that, but it happens to us at some point. Actually Aomine is the last of us to find one."
He sneaked a peek at Aomine who looked slightly embarrassed.
"What you're saying is that I'm Aomine's mate?"
"Yes."
"...Well, that explains some things. At least I didn't lose my sanity with that hit on my head."
For example the thing in the garden, when he felt so at ease with Aomine touching him - even enjoying it. Or how he found Aomine's voice so entrancing and his presence soothing.
"Still, it's really...weird. I mean, I don't know him or anything."
"That is why we would like to suggest to you staying here for a while."
At this Akashi spoke up.
"Exactly. For one we would appreciate your help in investigating the murders. On the other side you would have plenty of time to get to know Daiki. Once we've solved the case you can still decide at your own discretion what you want to do from that point on."
"My help in the case? Well...we could do more if the Venator Hirudo Organisation and Generation of Miracles worked together I suppose..."
He trailed off, still a bit unsure. But it did sound like a good course of action. So in the end he voiced his approval. But he would have to inform his boss later.
"Good. For today this was all. You're free to do what you want."
With those words Akashi bid his farewell and left the room.
When he was back in his room the first thing Kagami did was to grab his phone and dial in the number of his boss.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Kagami Taiga! Where the hell have you been you ungrateful brat?!"
Kagami had to hold the phone away from his ear in fear of going deaf, courtesy of the shouting female on the other line. He let out a nervous laugh and scratched his head in an embarrassed gesture, even though she wouldn't be able to see it.
"Hey, Alex...how's it going...?"
" 'How's it going...?' 'How's it going?!' I'll tell ya how's it going! I've been worrying over your sorry ass for the past few days!"
"Ale,-"
"I'm going to kill you when you get back you little punk! I'm going to shove my foot up so far up your a,-"
"Alex! I'm not coming back yet!"
Silence greeted him and he broke out in a nervous sweat. Silence wasn't always a good sign.
"...What do you mean 'you won't come back'?"
But in this case silence was good it seemed. Finally she had calmed down. Thank god.
"I got involved with some vampires called the Generation of Miracles. They want us to work together to solve the murder case you assigned me with."
Again stunned silence.
"The Generation of Miracles? How the hell did you manage that?!"
"Seems like I'm the mate for one of them."
After a moment a heavy and defeated sigh left her lips.
"Are you serious...? I can't even let you out of my sight for two days without you getting involved with some crazy stuff! Damn it, Taiga."
"Sorry..."
"Listen, I trust you decision. If you think you should stay with them to get this mission done, so be it. But please do me a favour and be careful okay?"
Now he felt guilty for not calling her sooner.
"Thanks, auntie. I'm sorry."
"...It's fine. Call me again soon okay?"
"Yeah, bye."
"Yes, until next time."
Chapter Extra:
Four figures sat in a barely lit room, their faces concealed by the shadows.
"It seems the boss of this petty little group is getting serious." said the first guy, his voice betraying his sick amusement.
"I don't see any problem. Those inexperienced brats won't last long anyway."
With a gruff tone it was the third person in the group who answered.
"I don't care, as long as I can slice something into tiny pieces~!"
Was the second ones answer in a sickly sweet singsong tone. His eyes shone with malice - the same crazy eyes that had looked upon the group of teenagers only two days ago.
"Enough already with your annoying blabber."
An ice cold, calm voice interrupted the fourth person. He was seemingly the leader of them.
"Soon we'll have them were we want. And then I will erase their very existence from this world."
I just realized I kinda suck at writing the evil guys. I'm so sorry. I hope you still enjoyed the chapter!
