OD: AKUMU [OMORI OCS AU]

Chapter 7.

Everyone went downstairs,  Including Kuro to go find some things to use for the sleepover. As Haruki looked around, he saw a picture under the couch. He crouched and picked it up and flipped to see it's an old print of Kuro's picture from 4 years ago.

....such an interesting photo.. Haruki chuckled softly as he put the picture on a table and went back to the gang. They were all hanging out as it reached noon. Yoshi invited them to all have dinner with him and Cielo's mother. Ofcourse she's still there. The atmosphere was heavy and quiet due to the Mother being there. Everyone just chew their food quietly, Not until Cielo's mother decided to speak up to Kuro. "So uhm, hunny... have you changed your mind?" Kuro kept chewing, ignoring his 'mother's' words. The rest of the gang also kept chewing but needs to hear the conversation. "Look. Kuro dear, it will honestly make me happy if you come with me, it will also help your mental health improve, You will also be a good help for me. You staying in this.. hideous old town. A new life will help you improve." The mother smiled, The rest of the crew was mad how she just called their hometown, the town where they all grew together 'hideous'. Kuro stood up from his sit as he bang the table in anger making the food shake. "And i need someone to inherite my position from being a CEO, since i got to retire soon.. you're the only person i could think of, since your brother passe-"

"You only care about money don't you." The mother stopped talking as the gang looked at Kuro. Kuro's grip on his chopsticks tightened, trying to control his anger. "You are such a selfish mother.. neglecting both your kids and now after 4 years, you want my help?" Kuro glared at his so called mother, him talking back made her mad and pissed. "Don't you dare talk back to me young man, i am your mother! I feed and payed for your school fees! Without me you would have beeen a goner!"

"You're the one to talk! Ever since i was brought in this family by you, You NEVER once took care of me. EVEN your son who's actually your flesh and blood, you neglected him! You NEGLECTED us both. You call yourself a mother? For what i know, a mother should always be by her kids side and never neglect them, even if she has work, her priority should be on her Children. Well, you are not THAT mother!" Kuro yelled making her move back, The gang just sat there quietly, not wanting to interfere their fight. since this is a family business.

"Where were you when your son died? Oh wait, I know! 'Oh god, i am so shocked to hear that, but i cannot attend his funeral right now.. I'm in a busy meeting! I'll pay for the funeral. I really can't attend right now. please take care.' (mocking tone) Such a good mother you are! bullcrap. YOU didn't even care about us." As Kuro kept taking out his anger, The mother slapped him. The gang stood up for defense, Kuro was speechless. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU." Koharu yelled at the mother who looked away as she took her things and went to the door. "I never saw you as my child to begin with, i only adopted you because of Cielo." She then shut the door and drove away. They all sighed as Kuro continued to eat silently, Koharu pat his back gently as she told him that he shouldn't really think about what she just said. He nodded, Isaac decided to break the gloomy atmosphere that was surrounding them all. "Can anyone teach me how to use chopsticks? I'm only used eating with a spoon." Kaitou shrugged and helped Isaac. "I'll.. go to my room." Kuro stood up and went upstairs. They all looked at him worringly, They thought that Kuro will be fine, right?
