The Monster Inside (AoKaga)

Magic and Memories

Kagami had unconsciously slowed down next to Aomine after they had stormed out of the Healing Unit. They were both still walking a bit awkwardly, their rhythms slightly off. Neither were used to setting their pace to others, usually it was the other way around. So every time they'd make a decision to go one way the other seemed to want to go the opposite. It made it for a very aggravating walking situation.

Damn Takao! He'd looked like he was enjoying their terrible situation when they had left. Though now that the anger and shock was wearing off a bit the first thing that came to him was, what now? They'd be stuck together for at least three days, so that meant everything; meals, sleeping (though mostly for Kagami's sake), and other things he'd rather not think of like... bathing.

Sure here in the Old World they generally bathed together, but in the New World they had showers for private use only. Kagami had been getting used to the way some things were different here but that was with his comrades, bathing with Aomine is something else entirely.

Kagami paled, oh god where is he going to sleep? HOW are they going to sleep? He glared at the string tying them together. Knowing Aomine he wouldn't keep his grubby, touchy hands to himself.

Sighing he stopped walking and turned to Aomine, "Oi, bastard. What are we going to do now?"

"Baka. How should I know?"

"...I suppose you wouldn't want to sleep in the Soldier's Quarters huh?"

Aomine shot him an incredulous look, "Oh fuck no. We're definitely staying in my room." Kagami cursed, he really didn't want to go back there. It was secluded and...closed off. God only knew what would happen there. Not to mention all he could think about was what had occurred the last time that he went into Aomine's room. He shivered, which he wasn't certain was in fear or excitement.

"Well then come on," Kagami tugged on the string to lead Aomine away from the Healing Unit.

"Um I knew you were stupid but I didn't know you it was this bad. The Mansion is the other way."

He shot a glare at Aomine, "dumbass if were staying in your room then I need my clothes and stuff. Unless you're offering yours up?"

Aomine's nose wrinkled at the thought, "Nah, lets go then and get your shitty stuff." Kagami's eye twitched, this guy really knew how to piss him off.

They stepped through the corridors to the Seirin segment of the Soldier's Quarters side by side. All the while dread was creeping up on Kagami, the more he thought about it he hoped there wasn't anyone in there. How was he supposed to explain this situation? ("Oh yeah guys our souls are so damn compatible that they got stuck together"... "Hm? Oh we're just connected on another level is all") He could hear the laughter already, his ears burning in trepidation.

Aomine raised an eyebrow at the pained expression and slumped shoulders Kagami was sporting. "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh you mean other than the fact I'm going to have to deal with a perverted, ganguro asshole for three days, figure out how I'm going to train, and work in the Cooking Unit? Hm... I don't know!" Kagami's voice slowly got louder towards the end till he was almost shouting.

"Geez, forget I even asked," Aomine grumbled, a little put off. He didn't know why he asked in the first place, it was very unlike him to notice about others.

Kagami sighed. He felt a little bad for snapping at Aomine when this was the first time that he'd said something without insulting him. "Ugh. Forget it. I guess were kind of in the same predicament after all. I'm just frustrated about this shit."
