~CHAPTER 2~
Rai’s POV
The moment I stepped out of the school gates, I yawned loudly. Because school is tiring. I wished it didn’t exist... Except for OAGS of course.
“Let’s get home quickly,” Ichigo-chan suggested. “I’m starving.” She felt her stomach grumble like an old man.
“Me too.” I sighed. It was just the start of my first high school year and I was looking forward to the summer holidays already. Nevertheless, I was a little excited about the LMC members. You see, someone related to Baki(A/N: In case you didn’t know... Baki = Baka + Kise) was there. His imouto. I smiled to myself. I can feel my romance life going like a bed of roses!
We were walking along a street which were selling food. The fragrance and aroma filled the air. And we had to suppress our hunger inside.
Changing the topic to make myself less hungrier, I asked, “Ne, did you watch the latest episode of [insert anime here]?”
There was no reply. I turned to my side, only to find her missing.
“Ichigo-chan?!! Ichigo-chan?!! Ichigo-chaaaannnn!!!” I shouted, panicking, fearing something might’ve happened to her. What is she, Kuroko the 2nd?!! To my relief, I spotted her admiring the lovely sweets and chocolates outside a sweets shop. She was drooling a lot like a dog which was seeing doggy treats-- okay, maybe not so much, but you guessed it. I did a facedesk-- oops, I mean an epic facepalm. (Since there weren’t any desks...)
Ichigo-chan noticed me doing the epic facepalm. She laughed a little. “Gomen, gomen. I just can’t...” She stopped, looking at the fabulous sweets, hinting to me that she wanted to buy them.
“Hora, you spent almost all of your money on sweets today at school,” I gave her a stop-wasting-your-money-on-sweets look. “You’re going to be bankrupt soon if you continue doing this!” Then I tried dragging her away, like I always do when she’s tempted with sweets. She’s easily tempted with food, especially sweets, you know.
“Nooooooo! SWEETS-SAMAAAAA!!!!” She cried as I dragged her away. Well, I have more strength than her, so...
“Raicchi!! Ichigocchi!!” a familiar voice called out. My mood instantly went to the highest point. I swear I’ve heard this voice somewhere before.... AHH!!! How could I’ve forgotten?!! IT’S BAKI!!
We turned our heads to the direction of the voice. I was smiling from ear to ear.
The crowd dispersed and there it was - Baki and Kuroko, standing right beside each other, wearing their respective school’s uniforms, and Baki was waving happily.
“BAKI!!”
“Kuroko-senpai!!” Both of us shouted as the same time as we ran to the both of them.
“Long time no see,” Kuroko greeted. “Ichigo-san, Rai-san.”
“Long time no see too!” Ichigo-chan greeted back. We decided to walk together, and chat at same time.
After chattering like monkeys for a while, Ichigo-chan suddenly asked, “That reminds me... Kuroko-senpai, why are you with Kise-senpai?”
“.....” Kuroko stopped to think for a moment. “He kidnapped me.”
“Wha--?!! I didn’t kidnap him!” Baki protested.
“Kuroko, stop bullying Baki!” I pouted.
“But Kise-kun is annoying.”
“Waahhh!! Kurokocchi, you’re so mean~!”
“Kuroko-senpai is so kawaii~” Ichigo commented, in the world of her own fantasies.

Ichigo’s POV
“Let’s go to Kuroko-senpai’s house!” I suggested.
“Its been a while since I have been to Kurokocchi’s houseee!!!” Kise squealed in delight, flapping his arms wildly in the air. “Like... in 1 or 2 years!”
“...”
“Its confirmed!” Rai-chan bursted in happiness, jumping up and down excitedly.
By the time we reached his house (and lost him over nine thousand times), it was already early evening. We decided to eat dinner, so we sat at the dining table, talking incessantly as we waited for Kuroko-senpai to finish cooking.
“As expected of Kurokocchi... His apartment is so neat and tidy!” Kise commented, smiling. “Not like Murasakibaracchi... his room‘s filled with wrappers everywhere.” He felt a little disgusted at the thought of it.
The only dish on the table was eggs - 4 delicious hard boiled eggs with soya sauce and a half burnt egg yolk.
“I can make a mean hard boiled egg,” Kuroko-senpai reminded, with his apron still on. He then proceeded to untie it, and he sat down in front of the dining table, picking up his fork.
Kuroko-senpai pushed the plate with the burnt egg yolk to Kise-senpai. ”I never knew Kuroko-senpai was so mean...” I thoughted out loud.
“Kise-kun is really annoying.” Kuroko gave a lame excuse, munching on the hard boiled egg.
“How am I annoying??!!” Kise-senpai cried - for the hundredth time today, “KUROKOCCHI YOU MEANIEEEEEE~!!!”
“Ah, Kuroko-senpai--” I turned to my side. He was nowhere to be seen, like he disappeared into thin air or something. “K-Kuroko-senpai?!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!!”
“What is this, the one millionth time we lost him today?!” Rai-chan shouted in frustration, facepalming hard.
Kise-senpai facedesked - but that was the wrong thing to do. He’d forgotten that there was a plate of a ROTTEN egg yolk on the table. The rotten egg yolk was smeared all over his face, and the pungent smell filled the air.
“PFFFFTTTT!!!” I laughed my head off till my stomach hurt upon seeing Kise-senpai’s face. “OH MY GOD!!!” I shed a few tears because I was laughing so hard. I didn’t regret laughing at him, although Rai-chan’s probably gonna kill me for saying that.
“You meanie!!!” Kise-senpai cried, trying to wipe the egg away. “Anyway, we need to find Kurokocchi!”
We searched high and low for him, like a predator and a prey. That reminds me... Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind die Jaeger! (A/N: It translates to ‘Are you the food? No, we are the hunters!’ But it can also be translated to ‘They are the prey and we are the hunters!’.) I giggled at the thought of it. He’s the prey, and we’re the hunters!
“What are you giggling about?” a voice suddenly popped out, startling me. I jumped in fear.
“K-Kuroko-senpai?!” I screamed, pointing at him. “Where were you?!” I caught Rai-chan and Kise-senpai’s attention, and they turned their heads towards me.
“Ah, there you are!! Kuroko/Kurokocchi!!!!” Both Rai-chan and Kise-senpai shouted at the same time.
“Kise-kun... why does your face smells like... rotten egg?” Kuroko-senpai made an innocent remark.
“Oh my god, I don’t want to see an egg in my life anymore!!” Kise shouted in despair. His day was totally ruined by eggs. “First, Kurokocchi, where did you go?! We were looking high and low for you!”
“.... Etto... I just went to the toilet...” Kuroko-senpai looked confused, tilting his head a little, with his index finger brushing against his cheeks.
