Chapter Sixteen: Upsetting Allies

"Really Suga?" Kenho asked, exasperated at his colleague

"What? It's a valid question. How has no one realised, this is a fucking KILLING GAME. Where one of us is the one in charge so why is everyone acting like this is a damn tea party?"

"Cause we'll go insane otherwise." Kikuji snapped.

"What are you talking about?"

"If we antagonize each other, suspect and accuse, we're going to lose our freaking minds. This is a killing game, yes, which is why we need to work together."

"You guys are nuts. I'm not trusting a single one of you."

"Then you've already lost." Fuuko spoke up.

"This is so stupid." Suga grumbled, snatching a protein bar and soda before stomping off.

"That was eventful." Amy sassed to no one in particular.

"Hmm. Hey Kutsumi may I ask a question?"

"What's up, sugar?" Kutsumi tilted her head, questioning.

"If it's possible, would you be able to help me with taking my rat's nest?" Masane pointed to her hair.

"Haha of course I can! But first I need to get more acquainted with the tools in the salon. Could I get you in a day or two?"

"Of course, thank you very much. " Masane smiled at her friend.

"No problem at all. Now everybody, let's eat."

With that the room quieted as everyone grabbed eggs and toast with their own respective drinks.

"So what's the plan for now?" Kougyoku wanted to know.

"Well I guess we should keep checking the school, either for ways to remove the collar or info." Kochi translated.

"Alright we can start once we've all had our bellies filled." Rigen stated with his usual lopsided smile.

"That sounds like a good idea." Fuuko smiled at Rigen, causing him to pause and smile brightly back.

"Alright loverboy, keep your pants on." Kikuji snickered at Rigen turning bright red.

"Shut your face!" Rigen muttered.

"Loverboy?" Fuuko questioned.

"Ohhh she's one of the oblivious ones. Well missy, Rigen here-" Kenho began to speak before Rigen slapped his hand over Kenho's mouth, glaring.

"Not another word, Okita. Not. One."

...

*lick*

"Ewww!" Rigen withdrew his hand, shaking it wildly to get rid of the feeling of Kenho's lick.

Everybody laughed, even Kougyoku. For the moment, they all seemed like normal high school students, with laughing, crushes and everything else that normal teenagers have.

"Well plebeians, I must leave you, to prepare my own investigation. Good day!" Masahira bowed to everyone and quickly sped off, to who knows where.

"Does he have to look down on us, all the freaking time?" Amy rolled her eyes.

"He may have a point. We should all do our own investigations, along with the initial one." Fuuko explained.

"Alright well I must leave as well. I will speak to you all again at a later time." Kochi also bowed before leaving as well.

"Alright weirdos. I'm out too." Kougyoku sneered and left.

"I must depart as well. I'll speak with you guys later." Fuuko gave a small smile, lingering at Rigen before leaving.
