Jaden groaned as he entered the kitchen, opening the fridge to find something to drink.
"Why's the fridge nearly empty...?" He muttered, noticing how few things were in the fridge.
As he turned around, he suddenly saw Carmila playing on her Computer with all the energy drinks empty near her.
Did she drink all of them to stay awake?
"Jesus Christ. You drank everything in the fridge?" He groaned, sounding frustrated. "You know how expensive that is?"
Carmila looked up at him, her eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.
"What..?" She muttered, before drinking another can of energy drink in one gulp.
"Well, i did fall asleep.. for about an hour. Then some bitchass construction workers decided to make some noise outside, and i woke up. they did it ALL NIGHT! So i decided to pull an all nighter. Better than getting half an hour of sleep, y'know." She yawned.
"Jesus.. i'm not even going to ask anymore.." He sighed.As she opened another can of energy drink, she suddenly paused.
"Oh, right. I'm running out of energy drinks.." Carmila thought out loud, before groaning.
"HEY! JACOB! I NEED YOU TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE!" She yelled.
"WHAT?! Why me?!" Jacob yelled back from the other room.
"I haven't slept yesterday, i'd collapse on the cashier!" She yelled back.
Jacob groaned loudly, before walking into the room.
"You have a lot of energy for someone who didn't sleep." He snarkily commented, looking at all the empty energy drink cans. "You drank ALL of them!?"
"I had to stay awake somehow.." Carmila muttered.
"Ugh, fine, i'll go to the store. How much energy drinks do you even need..?" He gave in.
"Yeah? I need to stay awake. Anyway, go now, i'll text you which ones i want." She said, going back on her computer.
Jacob groaned once again, but he knew he wasn't going to win this argument, so he grabbed his phone and left.-Somewhere else.
Virmina was at the base, bored as usual. A few members were nearby chatting, while most are outside. She just sat on her computer, taking care of some papers. She really hated being at the base, and would MUCH rather be outside. As someone who constantly needed excitement, this base was like torture to her.
Suddenly, her phone rang while she was still working. She groaned and picked it up in curiosity.
"Hello..?" She answered, curious to who was calling.
"Hello, Virmina." Blacksoul's voice was heard through the phone, sounding as formal as ever.Blacksoul was outside, standing near a few stores in public areas. He wasn't worried being so exposed, considering how much people fear him.
"I hope your gang is doing well these days. It's been a while since we last spoke." He said, his voice as calm as usual.
"Yeah, Yeah, cut me the bullshit. What did you call for..?" She said in frustration.
Blacksoul chuckled slightly at her reaction.
"You're as quick-tempered as usual, i see. Well, i won't waste our time. Have you heard about Jinto?" He decided to cut quickly to the point.
Virmina suddenly went silent. Jinto, huh? She did not expect him to be mentioned.
"Yeah.. i heard he's been sending those corny ass messages to every gang..""Indeed... I actually find those letters more annoying than scary." Blacksoul responded.
"But he did start a war, it seems. I don't like being threatened, and i'm sure you don't either." He went on.
"Get to the point already. It'll take you months to finish this call at this rate." She groaned. She really didn't like talking on the phone, it was such a waste of time to her.
He paused. Of course she'd lose her patience quickly, that's how she is.
"I want to make a ceasefire between our gangs. Only the both of us." he stated, sounding serious and straight to the point.
....
...Virmina was surprised by his words, and she just started to laugh loudly, as Blacksoul listened, confused at her outburst. He even heard her slapping her knee from all the laughter.
"PFF—- HAHAHA— OH- I-I'M SORRY- HAHAAAAAAA—! CEASEFIRE?!"
He went silent, his eyes closing in annoyance. He did not appreciate the laughter from her, he couldn't even finish speaking.
"Are you done laughing...? Yes, ceasefire. Why is this so amusing to you?" He mumbled, a hint of anger in his voice.
Virmina stopped laughing, before taking a deep breath.
"First of all, i'm sorry for laughing. But your idea is so fucking ridiculous! haha.. ceasefire... just because Jinto is being annoying, y'think i'll team up with YOU?! Hah.." She laughed some more.Blacksoul's eyebrow twitched in anger, he was definitely starting to get angry, but he tried to stay calm and not yell at her through the phone.
"Two can play this game, Virmina. I can be just as bad as Jinto, even worse if you will." He said.
Virmina went silent, before scoffing.
"Yeah..? What are you, gonna kill some members of my gang to get me to agree?" She said in a sarcastic tone."I'm not afraid to." Blacksoul stated in a blunt, serious tone, making her pause.
"Considering the amount of trouble you've caused me, it's a valid option."
She kept laughing out loud.
"Yeah, yeah. Now fuck off, i've got better things to do."
Blacksoul frowned in anger, as he heard her end the call.He growled, annoyed at her response. What did he even expect, her to agree immediately? He'd need something to convince her that he's not joking about this...
As he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching him from behind. He turned around, and saw Asumi, standing in his way.
"You... why are you here?" Blacksoul said cautiously as he stared down at Asumi, noticing the small piece of flesh sticking out from his pocket."Y'know.. they locked me up when i was a kid. Gave me meds. They thought i was crazy because i was talking with my friends.. they called them imaginary, and sent me to a funny hospital. It wasn't the regular kind, though.. haha.. i always laugh when i remember these stuff." Asumi said, smiling creepily.
Blacksoul became uncomfortable at his response. This kid was definitely deranged... he has to be insane to keep smiling like that when talking about these things."..What's with that look you're giving me..? You think i'm crazy, too? You think i'm seeing things?" Asumi tilted his head, his smile turning crooked, and his eyes looking hollow.
Blacksoul backed up a step. "Wha.. no, obviously not." He said, trying to maintain his cool, but he was starting to get creeped out by the guy.
"They wanted me to stay normal.. take away the only thing that made me remotely special.. Adults.. they are always so.. STUBBORN." Asumi added.
"I'll kill you... Because my boss ordered me to. I always get the job done." Asumi laughed quietly, making 5 floating daggers out of thin air.
Blacksoul stared at the floating daggers, then at Asumi.
He wasn't afraid, but he definitely got tense. This kid was crazy, no wonder Jinto chose him...
"My ability... Prison Riot.. "
Asumi laughed some more, launching the daggers at Blacksoul at a crazy speed.
Blacksoul quickly dodged some of the attacks, the rest he blocked with his own hands. It was like a PERFECT outcome. "How'd he do that?" Asumi thought.
