This story is AU. Aogiri Tree is a pack of wolf-human hybrids that live in a forest next to Hinami's town. Hinami is human. Keneki is the local hunter who hunts down the wolf-human hybrids. I was going for a little red riding hood vibe for this. Warning! This story is about crack pairing and I have no regrets! Enjoy! :)
-To the story-
The wind blew through the tresses of brown locks belonging to Hinami. Her red cloak hanging off her neck. Cautiously she walked through the forest. She was to bring a present, which she held in a basket, to her onii-chan. He had a muscular build and average height. His hair is as white as snow. His name is Keneki Ken. The present was a brand of coffee he really liked. She also brought a book a book she had just finished. The book is about a boy who goes into an asylum and has to face all the monsters that lurk in there. She wanted to discuss the story to her onii-chan, there was also this word she just couldn't pronounce. The sky was turning dark soon and she wasted no time hurrying her steps. She usually went to visit him with the flower flower man was tall and had purple hair, his clothes made her laugh sometimes. His name was Shuu Tsukiyama . Tsukiyama couldn't come with her today because he had "business to attend to". She would have asked her Touka onee-chan, but she needed to study.
A strong howl frightened Hinami causing her to fall. "Ouch", she mumbled to herself. She heard of wolves in these forest. Wolves that were rumored to tear people limb from limb. Touka told Hinami that it wasn't true, but she should still be wary. She continued her walk until she reached a fork in the road. "I don't remember which way to go!" She said worriedly.
"Little girls shouldn't be playing in the woods", a male voice called to her. Hinami turn around only to be met with trees.
"I'm not a little girl! I'm 14! Where are you?" She boldly questioned. She took a step toward the trees and in a whisper said, "Who are you?"
"Being 14 don't mean shit! Besides little girls and big girls shouldn't be here. Girls like you get killed out here, either by the wolves", the silhouette of a boy is revealed with pointed wolf ears at the crown of the head, "or by things like me". Wolf eyes stare at Hinami through the darkness.
Without hesitance, Hinami bolted into one of the paths, her red cloak flowing behind her. Unbeknownst to her the figure didn't chase after her. Instead it walked into the light to show a boy with blue hair and matching blue eyes. On his head were wolf ears, a bushy tail followed him wherever he went. He knelt down to pick up a book the girl dropped. Looking at the cover he came to a conclusion, he didn't know what the fuck some of the words meant. He started to flip through the page either looking for pictures or some words he knew. In the back of the book it read: This book belongs to Hinami Fueguchi"So her names Hinami? Fucking looks like an elementary student. Heh, she might even end up as tall as my stupid older sister", he murmured to himself. RIIIING. RIII- "What!" He yelled into his phone.
"Sheesh! Calm the fuck down Ayato! Tatara said he needs you to go looking for some "runway", the voice on the other end says.
"Runway? Retard, do you mean run-a-way", Ayato always wondered how this guy lived so long with his stupidity. He looked back to the path that Hinami ran away in. "Yeah, I got it". It wouldn't take him so long to find and remove one measly mutt. He would be back to wait for the girl and might return her book. He hung up the phone and ran off deeper into the forest.
-With Hinami-
Hinami took the right path and ended up at Keneki's house. She rambled on about her encounter in the forest. She spoke of how he threatened her and described the peculiar shape of the shadow. After her explanation, she handed the brand of coffee to Keneki, "You should have been more careful Hinami. There are wolves in those woods. I'm gonna have to walk you back", Keneki scolded Hinami. "I'm gonna have to tell Touka. Come on, let's go". He got up from his seat on the couch and reached to help Hinami up.
"Onii-chan can you help me with this word first", Hinami reached into her basket but found nothing. She dropped her book. "Oh no I dropped my book". Her eyes became downcast as she mentally cried in her head. "It must have fallen out when I ran away", she whispered.
"Well we can't look for it since it's dark", Ken said while staring outside his window. He sees a rustle in the bushes. "I'm gonna bring my gun. Is that alright with you Hinami?" He asks. A worried look crosses Hinami features.
"You're not gonna shoot it, are you?" Hinami didn't like seeing dead things. It always brings back these bad memories. She walks into her house. Two bodies. A bullet hole- no she's not gonna remember this! Ken gives her a sympathetic smile.
"I can't make any promises Hinami, but I'll try not to shoot," he reassures her. They both get their shoes on and head out.
Their footsteps are both soft. Keneki holds Hinami's hand to keep her from wondering off. Not that he thinks she would. A flashlight lights their path. Far behind them is Ayato. He's holding Hinami's book in a vice grip as he thinks over the situation. He can't confront Hinami since she is with that hunter. His blue eyes narrow at Keneki, he needs to get him away from Hinami long enough for him to give her the book. Wait... Why did he care. He looks at Hinami and snorts. Her eyes are nervous, probably from their little chat. Her eyes glance backwards and Ayato was sure she saw him. She begins to shake, but doesn't say anything to her companion about him. Ayato starts to notice that they are heading into town, a place he won't go. He stops walking, Ken's flashlight slowly dims out of sight. "Crap", he wasn't able to return the book.
Ayato ventured back to his pack. His feet kicking rocks in different directions. He looked down at the book and contemplated throwing it. Instead he kicked a lopsided rock into a random direction. "Ouch!" A voice Ayato remembers well, but rather not. From the direction he kicked the rock, a man with blond hair parted 3 ways, wolf ears at the top, and wore a neat white suit emerged. "What the fuck got you all grumpy?" The blond haired man received no reply as Ayato walked right past him. The blond man spies the book in his hand. "Pfft, can you even read Ayato?" He asks snidely.
Ayato stop in his tracks, the wind blowing his lock ever so harshly. He leans forward, picks up a rock, and chucks it at the white suited man. A stream of blood pours from the wound on his forehead. "Shut up Naki, of course I can read", Ayato screamed. He opened the book and tried to read the first page. His voice was confident although he stumbled every 2-3 sentences. As he read out loud, Naki lifted himself up from the ground, profanities leaving his mouth. "The doctor injected a very dangerous disease into his bloodstream'... This book is pretty interesting." Ayato was honestly enjoying the book. If only he could understand more of the words.
"Incest? What type of shit are you reading? I know you have family issues, but come on, that's all kinds of weird", Naki gave Ayato a look of disgust.
"I said 'injected' not 'incest'. I swear you have hearing problems. It's not like I have a bro complex like you do?" Ayato was getting tired of Naki's shit.
"Big b-bro Yamori. *sniff*. Shit man, I can't believe he died. That hunter! I'm gonna kill him!" Naki was now raging. He started going on and on about how he was going to tear Keneki limb from limb. "I think I smelt him earlier! Ima go find him!" He turn and was stopped in his tracks by a tug of the tail. "Aye!"
Ayato glared at naki and said, "We have to get back to the pack". In his mind it was an excuse so Naki wouldn't end up attacking Hinami. He started to walk home.
"Ugh, fine. So where did you get the book?" Naki said following after Ayato.
"Some girl dropped it in the woods", Ayato said plainly.
"Hmm? Okay", Naki replied. Ayato was happy with that reply. He didn't need Naki knowing his business. If only he could figure out how to give back the book to Hinami.
