Chapter Seven: The Meeting: Part Two

"So you want to meet Akashi-chi then?" Kise asks as he went over to the entrance to Kagami's cage while unlocking it with a key. "Why should I ask?" He then asks him.

"I want to see who Kuroko's friends are," he responds while walking out of the cage. "Now which way do we go?" He asks turning towards the dog.

"Follow me!" Kise yells as he runs ahead of him to show him the way.

At the entrance of the Rakuzan entrance of the zoo:

A panther and a penguin were standing under a sign that had said Rakuzan. "So Testuya, you came?" The panther greeted.

"Yes, I assumed it was mandatory, wasn't it?" He replied.

"Well I guess depending on how you look at it," Aomine replied back.

And with that they walked into that section of the zoo.

"So I assume this is your first time in this section?" Aomine asked Kuroko as they were walking.

"I came here once before, a while ago," he answered.

"Then I'll show you the way," Aomine said taking the lead in front of him.

XXXXXXXXXX

With Kagami and Kise:

They were both walking to where Aomine had said the meeting place was going to be. And by now they had reached the entrance to the Rakuzan section of the zoo.

"And here we have the Rakuzan section," Kise said leading Kagami inside.

"What are you a tour guide?" Kagami commented.

"Well I do work on the tours all day long," Kise replied. "I mean I do them with my owner as well but, you get what I mean," he said. And with the mention of his owner, Kise could here him calling him saying it was time to go. "Say, you hear that, looks like I gotta go," Kise said turning to Kagami.

"Wait you're just gonna leave me here?" Kagami said.

"Yeah, how 'bout you just take my place in the meeting, anyway, just read the signs and you'll know where to go!" Kise said as he ran off.

"Wait!" Kagami called behind him, "I can't read you know," he grumbled the last part. "I mean I'm a tiger, not a human."

XXXXXXXXX

With Aomine and Kuroko:

Aomine had been leading Kuroko to where the meeting place, the lion cages, were. By now he had passed the same food stand about three times.

"Do you know where you're going?" Kuroko asked following him.

"Sure I know where I'm going Tetsuya," he responded. "It's only past this corner right here." He said

And as the two of the turned the corner they came face to face with Kagami. Who had the same expression as Kagami saying that he was lost as well as the two of them.

"What are you doing here?!" Aomine yelled as he jumped back in surprise.

"Yeah I thought the others said you couldn't come," Kuroko said as well.

"Kise told me to come," Kagami said taking a few steps back. "He had to leave and said to take his spot." He answered.

"That idiot," Aomine grumbled. "Anyway you can just help me find this lion cage." He said taking the lead.

"You mean you don't know where you're going either?" Kagami asked.

"Yeah, Kise said to read the signs, but I'm an animal, I can't read," he responded.

""You know I could always read the signs," Kuroko answered.

XXXXXXXX

After about five minutes of following the penguin they quickly arrived at the Lion cage.

"Kise has to be the worst tour guide," Aomine grumbled as they arrived. He then jumped up on a bench and lied down next to the exhibit.

"Oh and who do we have here?" A lion said standing up from the rock he was sitting on.

sorry I didn't update in a while. I happened to be busy with other things. This is taking longer than I had originally expected it to be.
