"Nagachika-kun, please put the human stomach acids in the mixture," Izumi-san requested.

"Have you guys tried taste buds yet?" I dropped the stomach acids into the mixture.

"What."

"Taste buds," I looked up at the only female member in our group. "The ingredients we've been using, we're focusing on the ghoul's ability to eat human food rather than the taste and smell. If the ghoul doesn't like the taste or smell, he or she won't eat the food, whether he or she is able to or not. So we have to focus on the taste and ability to eat simultaneously, and while the smell isn't completely needed, the smell is a big part of whether a ghoul will even try it or not, never mind how it's been scientifically proven to affect taste. So we should focus on that as well."

"... Don't act like you're so smart, newbie. You're even a ghoul, so why should I trust you? We follow the ingredient list we're given. Hashiga, get us some RC cells please."

"Got it, boss," Koumano ran off.

"Hey, Ichi, is Nagachika the ghoul we'll be testing on from now on? Or will we be testing on Kaneki Ken?" Taiga inquired. He was sitting on the floor with his arms back.

"..." Hide frowned, "Narino-san, I thought I told you to get off the floor- that's dangerous. I've blown up things before, you know."

"That's because you're stupid and not meant to be an experimenter, Nagachika."

"Will you please stop insulting me?"

"Narino, the CCG made a deal with Nagachika here. So no, you will not be giving our product to either one of them. They will go to the ghouls on death row."

"...Hide, can I smash this guy's face in?"

"Someone has to try the product, Kaneki. Before, I was just giving these to random ghouls on the street that tried to attack me. So no, you cannot smash his face in."

"Aw.. How about the witch?"

"Do not call people witches, Kaneki. And while she is getting on my nerves too, we just have to deal with it. She's a coworker."

"But she keeps insulting you."

"And Narino-san just asked if we were going to get the product. No, Kaneki, we will not be hurting anyone here, no matter what they do."

"Is it bad? Is the product bad?"

"We don't know what it'll do to the ghoul, so it's better to be safe than sorry."

"Oh.."

"Act as if it's going to kill the ghoul. Or make it go completely insane. That's what I always do."

"Hm.."

"Nagachika-kun, how many grams of stomach acid did you put in the mixture?"

"Huh? I estimated it."

Crash!

"This is exactly why you shouldn't be an experimenter!"

"Ah! Y-You got me all wet! What is this stuff?!" Hide brought his arm up to his nose and smelled it. "Oh my G*d, is this the stomach acid?!!"

"Hmph!"

I took off my shirt and pants, "Oh my f*cking G*d, Kaneki, get a towel, something! If this stays on my skin, I'll get hurt! Uh, Kaneki?"

"That was very impolite, Izumi-san!" Sagaru-san shouted in dismay, handing me a towel.

"Thank you, Sagaru-san!" I started wiping it off my skin first.

"Eek!"

"Huh?" I looked up, handing the towel to Sagaru-san. "Oh my G*d, Kaneki!"

"YOU BREAK RULES, NEVER HURT MASTER, YOU SELFISH B*TCH! NARCISSIST!"

"Kaneki, Kaneki, Kaneki, what have I said about using your kagune to shove centipedes up people's ears?!!" I pulled Kaneki's tentacles off of my new coworker. "Just because she poured acid on me does not mean you need to hurt her! She's only human- she won't heal quickly like Ryou and everyone else!"

"She hurt Hide! I kill her!"

"Oh my G*d, Kaneki, you cannot just say that in a workplace! I'll get fired! You'll get killed! Both of us - and the rest of Anteiku - will be mercilessly murdered!"

"Then I kill them too!"

"What happened to your grammar, Kaneki?!! Just calm down!! I should not be calming you down right now, Kaneki! I need to clean myself off! So sit. There."

Kaneki's lip shuddered as he gave me a puppy dog look, "Okay, Hide.. I'm sorry."

"Thank you," I heaved a heavy sigh and checked my shoes and socks.

"Um, Nagachika-san?"

"Yea, Sagaru-san?"

"You have some on your neck. Should I clean it up?" he held the towel up.

"No! I clean Hide!"

"Now, now, Kaneki."

Kaneki frowned, "Right, I'm sorry, Ma-Hide.. You have other lovers."

"Wh-Ka-I do not have other lovers, Kaneki, just calm down. He's just going to clean my neck. Yea, thanks, Sagaru-san. Uh, Sagaru-san?" I blinked. He was blushing like crazy.

Narino-san stood up, "Don't worry about him, he's just an in-the-closet gay," he took the towel from Sagaru-san and started to wipe me down.

I noticed he was moving down my chest, "U-Uh, Narino-san, I think you got it all."

He looked up at me. The towel was about to touch my nether regions. His eyes held a dark look, but it wasn't anger or anything. More like.. seduction?!!

He smirked, "Okay, Mister Master." He rose.

"You're gay."

"Sure am. You just realized?"

"But.. you were.. making fun of.."

"Nah, I just like to tease those who are embarrassed about it," he shrugged, the smirk still present on his face, "'cept Yuki, he's different. Too innocent to tease," he elbowed said bluenette, and Yuki started to fall. His face was still all steamy, and I don't think he was processing anything. Narino-san caught him, "Yeah, I guess I'll take him out. Have your little pet do the recordings for him, yeah? And I should be back before testing."

"... I had no idea he was gay. He seemed like one of those player types."

"He is a player, you idiot," Ichi-san glared at me. "A gay player. He's harassed Koumano before."

"...Were you harassed by him?"

"THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!! I AM-"

"OH MY F*CKING G*D, WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES, DUDE?!!" Koumano-san screamed in shock.

"Right here," I pointed to my clothes on the floor.

"WHAT THE h*LL HAPPENED WHILE I WAS GONE?!! WHERE IS YUKI AND THE JERK?!!"

"Narino-san took Sagaru-san ... out."

"? Yuki fainted again? Is it because you took your clothes off?"

"No, it's because Kaneki here called him my lover."

"...But I thought you two were dating."

"It's complicated. But I don't think we're dating yet.." I looked at Kaneki.

"?"

-w-

"It's complicated," I nodded.

"So? What went down?"

"I realized Izumi-san is a worse jerk than I thought. And Kaneki had a fit because of it."

"? .." something seemed to click in his brain, "Oh, she spilled something on you, didn't she?"

"She threw a beaker at me. Luckily, I'm a ghoul, so the glass didn't hurt me and just.. fell to the floor. Be careful."

"O..kay. I can see that going down badly. I'm surprised she's still alive with your 'bodyguard'."

"He tried."

"...Dude, he has some serious issues."

"I know. We're working on it."

"What exactly happened over here?" Koujimaku-san glared.

Oh, I didn't realize he was here.

Update of the day! Yay! (I'm surprised I finished because I helped my mom at school today and came home at.. two or so. I don't know when I started working on this. But it was right after I got home and dealt with my notifications and Inbox. I LUV COMMENTS. And I'll be going to Open House soon. ...

Help ;u;

Save me

Spare me

Pray.

Please.

School is tomorrow, and this is the first year I've been worried about the first day of school.

Last year was the first year I didn't enjoy school. ... and the quarter before that. So yay, I'm normal now. And I even laugh at people getting scolded.

...

;u;

Seriously, help me

This bully and insanity thing is really getting to me.

And I am praying to God I won't have bullies this year. That it'll be a smooth year like last year.

... But the damage was still done.

I mean, come on, I'm harsh now. I plan on avoiding people. I laughed when a bully was being scolded (finally) by the substitute when he was talking inappropriately.

And I felt awkward because for the first time ever, no one laughed when someone was being scolded.

Is it one of those things where there are different standards for different people?

The room was like crickets.

My laughter slowly died down as I realized no one else was laughing.

So awkward.

I realized my angel side was being infected by my demon side.

Will I be okay?

Oh, who am I kidding.

I know I won't be okay.

I've never been okay since the time I was introduced to masturbation.

WHY ARE HUMANS SO FOUL?
