THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

Level 10: Training Facility

The rest of the bio-genetics disperse from the hall, while out while engaging in different chatter.

Acker Sand stood before the wood shelf holding the bamboo swords, he had sandy curly brown hair that covered his eyes.

Kaneki steps forward sighing as he drops his bamboo sword.

"Can't believe we are done for today, what's the General thinking?" Kaneki said in a bored tone, he thought now they were soldiers there was gonna be more brutal training and stuff... wasn't tough kinds of stuff military?

He sighs out smoke, he wondered what kind of training they will engage in tomorrow, he hopes it was at least more reasonable than this.

"Yo" Sand said to Kaneki who turned to him.

A question mark arose on Kaneki's forehead staring at the weird boy who had his outgrown hair covering his eyes, and more importantly, did he just said Yo? strange.

"Okura Kaneki, right bruh?" he asked, his accent was a little off, something Kaneki wasn't used to, it was almost like he was rapping with the way he talks, sort of reminding him of Killer Bee from his favorite manga, Naruto. But Killer Bee was a natural to Kaneki, this weird guy wasn't as fluent as Killer Bee.

"Um yes?" Kaneki said sweat dropping behind his head.

"Um yours, I'm not sure we have met" he adds, knowing very well even if he was a bio-genetics he didn't quite know him.

Sand smiled in a curly sinister smile like the Chester cat in Alice In Wonderful.

Kaneki shivers abruptly with white eyes, 'What's this feeling?' he thought shaky.

"I'm Acker Sand, bruh, seems like we gat to introduce ourselves more often to know everyone better, ya think?" he said in amusement.

Beams of sweat trailed profusely against Kaneki's features trying to keep up with his words, this was a whole different level for him.

"I'm in need of a roommate bruh, it's uncomfortable sleeping in my room alone, hope you're down with it," he said in a sad tone.

Making Kaneki regain his composure, his eyes shake at his words. He forced a smile.

"Yeah sure, I'm alone in my room and it's uncomfortable," Kaneki said sincerely, still feeling that empty hole in his chest at the loss of his roommate, he was already getting quite close with Ryoji until his untimely demise

Sand smiled a sinister smile, making Kaneki shiver like a cat.

"Will you stop doing that!" Kaneki hissed with white eyes.

"Stop what bruh?" Sand asked puzzled.

"And what's with your weird accent, if you wanna join a rap band or something just do it, don't use me for practice" Kaneki hissed with shark-like teeth.

Sand scratches the back of his head.

"But that's how I talk, bruh" he shrugged like it was nothing.

Kaneki just sighed out smoke knowing he wasn't putting up the weird accent, it was obvious it was from his tongue almost like he was born with it, was he a foreigner? he didn't seem like one, not as Mary is with her dark skin color, you can tell that either one of her parents was a foreigner, but with this dude, it was a whole different, he looked very much Japanese.

"Yo" Sand said waving his hand in front of Kaneki, he was then brought back to reality realizing he was lost in his head.

Sand smiled sinisterly once more, making Kaneki's skin crawl once more. Great... now he was stuck with this dude as a roommate.

Level 17: Bio-genetics Level

Cafeteria

The bio-genetics all seated as they ate, each engaging in small discussions about their training today, some talked about something else, some ate in silence but a majority of them talked about General Anzai.

"Damn he's scary, my skin always crawls when he's around," Fujio said as he got the shivers just by the mere thought of it.

Ryoto seated beside him nodded in agreement as he ate his rice with a chopstick.

"And we're stuck with him," Tendo Akira said with a deep sigh, his palm against his jaw, he had pink hair and black eyes.

"We're soldiers now" Ren spoke up rushing his food, their attention drifts to him.

He placed his rice plate down gulping hard, as the rice passed through his throat in a big bum. He faced them.

"We should expect anything from our superiors" he adds with a cool face.

"If someone told me 2 years later this will be our life I wouldn't have believed it," Bandai Raiden said staring in space, he had grey hair and dark blue eyes.

"It only seemed like yesterday that everything was normal" he adds with shaky eyes.

"Well normal isn't part of our life now, we live under the government now," Ryoto said sternly.

***

Mirai starred at her half-eaten food, lost in thought, her mind still replaying her duel with Yajima Mizuki, the weird boy that copied her fighting style like it was nothing, making him seem no less like a master. Her fist tightens around her chopstick, that was absurd to treat Tendo that way without any respect like it was something he could just use and dump. Mirai grew up in a dojo all her life, her parents taught her to respect any art of martial art because long before they were born, warriors, samurais, Generals, warlords practiced them, so it was sacred and not to be used unjustly, his actions were merely absurd and mocking to Mirai's eyes.

Her heated gaze drifts to Mizuki a few tables away from them eating his food alone, with a smile against his lips, not a worry in the world, her teeth clenched hard as her grip around the chopsticks tighten making it snap.

"Mirai-chan?" Yumi said with puzzled eyes.

Making Mirai snap out of her trance, facing Yumi's worried eyes.

"Are you okay Mirai-chan?!"

"I'm fine Yumi, no need to worry," Mirai said forcing a smile.

"Are you sure? You keep starring at Mizuki over there" Mary points out

Making Mirai tensed at her words.

Kaneki's ears blew steams at hearing Mary's words, But he got distracted by Sand.

He eat a pile of rice as his cheeks heated rosy red, shiny stars around him as he made hmm sounds of pleasure.

Mirai, Yumi, and Mary look at him while sweat dropping their heads.

He was one weird dude.
