A tall, slim male ghoul leaned against the wall. He sniffed in disdain and brushed his blond hair that he wore in bob style out of his untrusting red eyes. The black face paint he wore in a design on the right side of his face itched, and it was stuffy in here. He adjusted his zebra patterned scarf and brushed off his white suit. Bored of waiting for the meeting to start, he examined his surroundings.
A group of ghouls and a few humans had gathered in the back room of the coffee shop :Re. Four humans stood beside the door, wearily scanning the man eating species they had surrounded themselves with. The three smaller humans had scooted close to a taller man. He was nothing special; average height with bland features and ginger hair that was in need of a trimming. His facial expression was blank for the most part, but he scowled occasionally as he fiddled with the sleeve button of the plain suit he wore.
A few yards away from the dull man stood a male and female ghoul. The male ghoul was slim with thin black glasses and shaggy hazelnut hair. His attractive face had a melancholic expression, and he wore black jeans, a lavender dress shirt, a white blazer, and and black and red striped tie. The female ghoul was a beautiful young woman with her violet hair worn in a short bob. She was dressed in a waitress outfit, and her blue eyes nervously darted around the room.
Three male ghouls stood in the corner of the room. The one on the left looked no older than eighteen. His navy blue hair hung in his eyes, and he scowled at everyone. He pulled his leather jacket closer, and he glanced at the clock and then back tot the colorful man that stood beside him. The taller man was being very talkative, waving his hands about. He had purple hair swept to one side and a loud red suit with a purple dress shirt. The last ghoul in the corner was silent. He had long white hair and stern blue eyes, and he was dressed in a forest green trench coat.
In the corner adjacent to the one with the three male ghouls stood three female ghouls and one human woman. The female ghoul that stood out was a dwarf with her bubblegum pink hair worn in an odd but distinctive style.
"Grandma Miza," the male ghoul muttered under his breath, sticking his tongue out a little bit.
The ghoul beside Miza was attractive, with a slim figure and long black hair. She wore black robes and was looking around with a doubtful expression on her face. The male ghoul signed and gazed at his two comrades that stood beside him. Next to the black haired ghoul was a human with white blond hair in a crown braid and paralyzing ice blue eyes. She stood formally, giving the ghouls that surrounded her cautious looks. Beside her was a young female ghoul with doe eyes and short brown hair and bangs. She looked extremely shy, and the male ghoul vaguely remembered her from Aogiri. However, he could not recall her name.
Shousei Idera looked just as happy to be here and he probably was. His muscular arms were crossed, and his brows were scrunched together. He had turned his hooked nose away from the crowd and had taken to examining his muddied dress shoes.
In between the male ghoul and Shousei stood Naki. His blood red eyes were tired and a bit annoyed, and the male ghoul knew better than to say anything to him when he looked like this. The black eyeshadow he wore was smudged, and a lot of the makeup looked like it had come off on the sleeves of his white suit. The cuffs were absolutely filthy from the constant rubbing of his eyes, and for once, the male ghoul was glad that 'Grandma Miza' was there to nag Naki about it. Naki's blonde hair, which was usually flawlessly slicked back, had strands flying everywhere.
The male ghoul yawned, and just as he thought he couldn't wait another tedious moment for the meeting to begin, a young man came through the door and strode into the center of the room. The young man had snow white hair and a medical eyepatch over his left eye. His visible eye was gray and stormy, and he gazed calmly at the gathered humans and ghouls. He cleared his throat and began speaking.
"This, as you know, is our first meeting in the new organization— Black Goat. I think you all know this, but I will say it anyway for those who might not: My name in Kaneki Ken, and I am the founder and leader of Black Goat. I am the One Eyed King. Those whom have come from the CCG probably remember me as Sasaki Haise. Black Goat's purpose is to create a world where both humans and ghouls can live together peacefully."
A couple snickers were heard throughout the room at this, but the white haired man's gaze silenced them and he continued.
"We are all going to be working together, so we are going to need each other's help. I want everyone to step forward and introduce themselves."
"We're not in grade school," snorted the ghoul with the glasses.
"No, we're not," Kaneki said sharply. "But a lot of ghouls didn't attend school, so why don't you go first and show everyone how it's done?"
An embarrassed blush spread across the ghoul's face, but he stepped forward nevertheless.
"I'm Nishiki Nishio," he mumbled. "Before this I wasn't in any organization or whatever, and I just want to kill shitty Kanou."
He stepped back, and the attractive girl with the bob next to him stepped up.
"I'm Kirishima Touka, and I'm a waitress here at :Re," was all she had to say.
The flamboyantly dressed man in the corner introduced himself next.
"Mesdames et Messieurs!" he said loudly, bowing. "I am Tsukiyama Shuu. I take the greatest pleasure in meeting you all.
"American brat," Naki muttered. The male ghoul knew that the odd man was speaking French and not English, but he was in no mood to argue with his superior.
"Kirishima Ayato," the short man next to Tsukiyama said gruffly. "From Aogiri."
"Yomo Renji," the man in the green trench coat said.
Miza fixed her pink hair and stepped forward. "I'm Miza Kusakari of the blades of the thirteenth ward, former Aogiri executive."
She gave the group a confident look and that stepped back, and the male ghoul had to try his best to suppress a snicker. The attractive, black haired female ghoul beside Miza didn't bother stepping forward.
"Yasuhisa Kurona. And I'm with four eyes over there, Nishioki or whatever. I just wanna kill Kanou."
"Who the hell are you calling four eyes?" Nishiki snapped from across the room.
"Enough," Kaneki barked, silencing the group.
The human woman with the white blonde hair limped forward.
"Akira Mado," she said in a dignified tone. "Former CCG."
The girlish ghoul beside her spoke.
"Fueguchi Hinami," she said shyly. "Former Aogiri."
Kaneki flashed a smile at the doe eyed girl. Next, Shosei stepped up. He towered over everyone like a giant, and he spoke with a deep voice that matched his appearance.
"Shousei Idera," he said. "Former Aogiri and White Suits."
He stepped back calmly, and Naki stepped up. The male ghoul beside Naki winced upon examining his superior. Naki's fists were balled and his jaw was clenched, and a hatred towards Kaneki boiled and frothed in his blood red eyes.
Not an outburst now, he prayed. God, please not now.
"I'm Naki," the blonde ghoul said, voice trembling. "From Aogiris and White Suits. A-and I hate you Kiniki!"
"Kaneki," Shousei muttered under his breath.
"You killed my Divine Aniki!" Naki shouted.
"Naki!" Ayato shouted from across the room. "Not now!"
The blond ghoul let out a whimper and stepped back against the wall, wiping his teary eyes on his sleeve, further dirtying it. Everyone's eyes fell on the male ghoul that stood next to him.
His heart twisted a bit when he realized it was his turn to step forward.
"Hooguro," he mumbled, glancing at his sniffling friend. "Um, former Aogiri and White Suits."
He stepped back and placed a comforting hand on Naki's shoulder, but quickly pulled away when his superior winced at his touch. Hooguro turned his red eyes to the doves, who's turn it was to introduce themselves. The bland looking ginger dove went first, as Hooguro figured he would.
"I'm Take Hirako," he said. "Former CCG. And I'm here, as I said before, to make sure Mr. Kishou's final wish is fulfilled."
Hooguro stifled a yawn and leaned back against the wall as the investigator continued.
"These are other members of squad 0," Take said. He gestured at a human with sad dark eyes and black hair hanging in their face. "This is Tokumei."
Tokumei shyly waved as Take went on introducing the next former investigator.
"This is Michino."
Michino had light eyes and a light colored mop of curls to match.
"And lastly, this is Mumei."
Mumei had light hair that hung in their dark eyes that was worn in an hime-cut.
"Great," Kaneki said, clapping his hands together and giving the still whimpering Naki an uneasy look. "Now that we all know each other, um, Tsukiyama has something to say."
The man in the bright red suit took the floor and flashed the group of women in the corner a charming smile.
"As you may know, the Tsukiyama family has done rather well in acquiring currency. And just for Kaneki here," he paused to smile at the white haired man. "I bought a whole apartment complex in the second ward. It's pretty calm in that area, and if you need housing, you are welcome to stay."
"So basically," Kurona spoke up. "We're all going to be living together?"
"Isn't it great?" Tsukiyama beamed.
"I wouldn't exactly use those words," Hooguro muttered under his breath.
Notes:
okay sooooo hi there! The squad 0 members do not have names or genders given, so I will use gender neutral pronouns for now. And I just made up names and I will change them as soon as names are revealed.
