Boy's Bathroom
You could hear water running within the bathroom. Shino's hand rested on neither side of the sink, the tap running.
He sighed before looking at the mirror before him, staring at his reflection, they land on his natural scars on his face, one slashing his nose and the other against his side cheeks. He felt them, reminiscing.
*
"Dad where is mom?"
"She left, son"
Tears filled little Shino's eyes.
"Is it…" he sobs.
"Is it because of my abnormal face?"
"Never say okay, you're gonna be okay… I will find the money for your surgery okay, I promise".
*
A faint memory flood his head of the day his own mother left. 'Why do I have to think of that now…' he thought sighing, he always does whenever he sees the scars, it was like a constant reminder of what he has been through over the years.
He rinses his face trying not to think about it too much, it is all history now, a past he was willing to forget.
He heard voices from the other side of the bathroom, where the showers, it must be the others coming in for a bath, he walks towards there.

"Ah exactly what I need," Ryu said sighing feeling the water against his body, he turns to Kaneki, his head in the shower with a gloomy expression.
"Hey you okay?" he asked worriedly.
"Just trying to cool my head"
Ryu just made a hmm sound.
"I'm all sweaty and sticky" Hiro murmured trying to wash his back with the soap.
"Well, you have been training for hours what do you expect," Ryu said huffing.
Ten were he was in his space bathing and humming a pleasant tone to himself.
"What's with the good mood Ten," Mizuki asked with his ever smiley face.
"No reason just feeling loved," he said with a shrug, a smile against his lips.
"Oh could it be that girl you were with today, seems like you were on a date or something," Saho said with a thoughtful face.
Ten's whole body went cherry red.
"W-what? How did you know I was with a girl!" He yelled with white eyes.
"Relax I took a stroll to the civilians level, it's not my fault I saw you with your girlfriend".
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" he shouts with white eyes.
"If she's not your girlfriend then what is she to you?" Hiro asked raising an eyebrow.
"A…a Friend"
"Right," Hiro said with an eye roll, the rest of the boys chuckled.
Ten's ears blew steams.
"Then how about you and Yuki, are you just friends?" Ten fired with a big mouth.
An angry vein popped out of Hiro's head.
"Hey, that has nothing to do with what we're talking about!"
"Oh yeah, You and Yuki are always doing all kinds of tricky stuff," Ten said smirking.
"What kind of tricky stuff!"
"Okay this is getting awkward by the moment," Kaneki said, Ryu nods in agreement.
"I'm sure both of you have even kissed!"
Hiro blushed all shades of red.
"What? No way, why will I kiss her in the first place, I'm not even attracted to her!".

Girls Bathroom
A Few Minutes Ago
They could hear yelling coming from the other side of the wall.
"What are the boys up to this time," Mirai said sighing.
"Mirai-chan that's a spot there" Yumi pouts.
"Oh right," she said resuming scrubbing Yumi's back.
"Probably boys stuff," Himari said with a shrug.
"W-what? How did you know I was with a girl!"
Ten's voice came in.
Usagi chuckled.
"Now they are talking about girls"
"Relax I took a stroll to the civilians level, it's not my fault I saw you with your girlfriend".
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
"Who could they be possibly talking about?" Sakura said with a thoughtful face.
Haya where she was, frowned, she read their lips but she couldn't tell what they talking about.
"The boys are talking about Ten and his girlfriend," Emiko said to her giggling.
"Oh" Haya just made a sound reading her lips.
Her frown grew deeper, she knew who they were talking about, it must be Kaiyo.
"If she's not your girlfriend then what is she to you?"
This time Hiro's voice.
"A…a Friend"
"Right"
"Then how about you and Yuki, are you just friends?"
They froze at the new topic.
Yuki paused washing her hair.
"Hehehe, lame" Sumi said with an eye roll.
"Hey, that has nothing to do with what we're talking about!"
"Oh yeah, You and Yuki are always doing all kinds of tricky stuff".
Mirai quickly closes Yumi's ears.
"Mirai-chan!" she pouts.
"What kind of tricky stuff!"
"I'm sure both of you have even kissed!"
"What? No way, why will I kiss her in the first place, I'm not even attracted to her!"
It was like a cold bucket of water poured on Yuki's body.
"Idiot Hiro! How could he say that out loud!" Mary said angrily.
"Are you okay Yuki?" Usagi asked turning to her, but then she froze as her body ran cold, she shivers like a cat.
"Are you okay?"
There was a dark aura around Yuki, it was terrifying and sent shivers down the girl's spine, even Sumi.

Boy's Bathroom
"Oh yeah keep saying that!" Ten yelled.
"Shino-san here is privately seeing Sumi… so then lets all then denial"
"WHAT???" The boys roared.
Shino paused his action of brushing his teeth as he paled.
"Oops" Ten made a sound realizing he said that out loud.
"Commander Shino and the weirdo?" Raiden said stunned coming out of the toilet, the idea struck him hard.

Girl's Bathroom
Yumi squealed holding unto Mirai tightly, others were scared too as they both stared at Yuki and Sumi, dark aura coming out of their body, their hair floating, the scene looked almost demonic.
"Mirai-chan, they are just angry right?" she said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm beginning to think it's more than that" Mirai stammers.
