Corrupt Mixture
Chapter 1 - A New World
I do not own Tokyo Ghoul in any way
So, the main reason I started to write this is because, like I said in the last chapter of Crystal Snow, I was convinced to write stories for animes other than Naruto. I went through some animes I have watched and that I felt I could come of with unique storylines. Thus, the birth of this story which I am actually excited to write for because I have many interesting things I want to try out in this story that can only be done in the TG universe.
This kind of overtook my mind over the time the poll was up. I probably will finish writing this story, since it will probably wouldn't be as long as Crystal Snow, and then move onto the winning poll story (Which is a seven way tie…) and then start on that.
As I stated above this is going to follow a completely new story that has nothing to do with cannon, that may change later on with a chapter appearances with some characters but that's completely random since I don't plan that stuff out.
This chapter also moves around a lot and goes really fast. This is suppose to be like that since this chapter has a lot of setup to it and how I decided to go through it was new to me. The next chapter will be in my usual style.
Also, for this story and some others I have planned characters are multilingual. So for the main language of the character they will speak with quotation marks (example: "Hello.") while for secondary languages will use asterisks (example *Hello*)
So quotes will mean english language as it will be the primary language spoken
while asterisk will mean japanese
I have no idea if this is a decent solution to the multilanguage problem, but if someone has a better idea please notify me so I can test out and implement it.
I tried to open my eyes again but saw nothing but blackness still. I mentally sighed as I couldn't move from the dense liquid surrounding me. Here time meant nothing. I didn't know if I had been here for a month or a year. Hell it could have been decades for all I know.
I pushed that horrid thought out of my head. I just had to focus on the past. Give myself a reason to push on. To keep my mind together. I had to start from the beginning.
Though I couldn't remember a time before we came here. Sure mom told me that I was just a small child when we moved to America but I felt bad that I couldn't remember our house in Japan. Mom said it was okay, that I was too young to really know, but it still hurt. No that wasn't right. I could vaguely remember the airport
Mom holding my hand rushing me through the lines. At the time I didn't know why we were there. Dad slightly in front of us with our luggage, talking to a man in blue. I saw them nod to each other and Dad give him something before the man in blue left.
Dad came over to us. Even though I was young I could tell that tell something was going on. I saw him glance around the airport. I followed where he was looking around and saw multiple men walking around with white coats. I could feel my heart start to beat faster. There were doves everywhere, though they weren't called that at the time.
*Okay, we need to go through 3C.* I saw Mom nod to Dad. Dad got down on his knee and looked at me. *You remember what to do if things go bad?* I nodded.
*Run away and make my way to Aunties* I saw Dad nod his head and ruffle my hair as he stood up.
*Good boy. Alright let's go.* Dad lead us toward a long line of people. I gave the air a big sniff. No, some weren't people. Before long the line started to move, quite rapidly.
Then I saw these weird scanner things. Now I know that they are RC scanners, but at the time it was just some scary thing that existed in my young eyes. I could feel my blood starting to pump harder. I could feel my eyes starting to hurt. I closed them and took a few deep breaths, suppressing the feeling.
Even when I was young I was good at keeping my eyes hidden, being praised for my control constantly from my parents.
I felt a slight squeeze on my hand from Mom. I opened my eyes and looked up to her. *You're doing great. Just a little longer.* I gave Mom a nod, not that I fully understood what was going on.
I suddenly heard a loud sound come from the RC scanner from another line. I turned and stared at the doves quickly surrounded the man who walked through it. I saw the man's eyes turn black with red pupils. Before the man could use his kagune he was impaled with multiple weapons, his blood splashing on everyone nearby, causing the humans to scream in terror.
I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine. Mom and Dad always said to be careful so the big bad doves don't get me but even my child-like mind couldn't think of something so evil. I covered my eyes and wished I didn't see it but the scene kept playing in my head.
That was the last thing I could remember about Japan. Seeing one of my own kind being slaughtered by doves. No wonder I had a hard time remember my time in Japan fully. What was next in my memories?
I was laying on a tiny bed, though it was quite large for me at the time. I must have been six or seven. It would have been two years since I left Japan.
Now I remember. Mom and Dad were out at work, trying to make enough money to pay the bills for our apartment. The sudden influx of people moving out of Japan from the 'ghoul uprising' meant that Mom and Dad were payed the absolute lowest wage. Having them work often usually meant that I was home alone often when I wasn't at school. That was a fun argument I had with Mom and Dad.
*Why can't I go to human school? I have control over my kakugan and my kakuhou wasn't fully formed yet. It's perfect.* This was the best time for me to be around humans. I could get use to their acts from day to day. *I can even speak english well enough.* I saw my parents look at each other then back at me. I knew Dad was at least willing to give me a shot, it was just Mom.
*I'm just worried. You have to remember that there are still other ghouls out there, they may smell you and as you said, you don't have a kagune to protect yourself.* I folded my arms in front of my chest. A habit that I took from her.
*No one would do that. Not with the AGC so active.* I saw both of my parents shutter at the mention of AGC or fully know as the Anti-Ghoul Corporation. A company working in tandem with the government to find eliminate any ghouls, if they were lucky. There were rumours that if the AGC was able to capture a ghoul alive they would be experimented on, just being kept alive until they were harvested for their kakuhou.
I felt myself shudder at that thought. I was already very sensitive where my kakuhou was forming just below my shoulder blades, a sign that it was koukaku inherited from Mom. I was slightly annoyed at the thought that mine was still forming. Most children at age six already had a fully formed kagune and was able to form a small amount of muscle from it. Though my control over my kakugan was outstanding even compared to adults.
I saw Mom bite her lips as she folded her arms in front of her chest. She bit her lip a little harder and sighed. *I'm not going to win this.* I felt a huge smile grace my face. Ah, the feeling of that smile. *Fine, I'll sign you up to enroll in the upcoming semester.*
Then there was my first day at school.
I woke up instantly the second the alarm went off. I quickly stripped off my pajamas and took a shower. Getting my school clothes that Mom bought me which consisted of a white shirt and a blue jacket and blue pants, reminding me slightly of what one would wear at a school in Japan.
I quickly put of the clothes and rushed out of the apartment. I then remembered that I forgot my backpack. I opened the door to the apartment and grabbed my backpack and closed the door to the apartment and locked the door, knowing that Mom and Dad were at work.
The memory of running to school was fuzzy to me mostly because nothing happened.
When I arrived at the school I remember being amazed at the trees lining the walkway to the school. I entered the the school and saw white hallways going to my left and right. I looked at the sign on the wall. Left for grades 1-3 while grades 4-6 to the right. At least that's what my mind deciphered from the sign. If I remembered right I was in 2nd grade. I turned to my left and started to walk down the hallway.
Seeing the room number I was told I knocked on the door to the room and waited. "Quiet down now." I saw the door swing open and a older women stood before me. I scanned her up and down like Mom and Dad taught me. She was older, probably around mid sixties. A pink sweater with a long red skirt. I took a quick sniff and smelt that she was indeed human. "Are you the new arrival?" I quickly nodded.
*Yes,* I quickly caught myself. "Y-Yes."
"I'm Ms. Jackson. Come on in." Ms. Jackson then walked into the room and I followed her. I turned and saw a room full of people, they were sitting four to each round table. "Class listen up. We have a new student this semester. Please introduce yourself." I nodded before bowing slightly in front of the class.
"I-I'm Sato Akatsuki." I paused a moment and remembered I had to flip my family and given name. "Actually it's Akatsuki Sato." I saw everyone look at me confused.
"You got your name mixed up and it's weird. Dumby" I heard everyone start to laugh at me.
"Quiet! Akatsuki originally lived in Japan but moved to America so he's still not use to our way of life here so be nice to him while he learns." I wanted to thank the teacher. I wanted to cry when I heard everyone laugh at me. "Akatsuki, you can sit with Amanda and Jack." I looked up and saw the teacher pointing to a round table with two other kids at it.
Amanda had bright blond hair in a single small ponytail. She had a white dress on that had fake gems in the form of a flower on the bottom. I tried to remember Jack's face, his clothes, anything about him but it was just a blur. That made sense since I never spoke to him after second grade. I think he moved away or something like that. Amanda however stuck in my mind still because I remember her smell. She was a ghoul like me.
Amanda. I wonder what she was doing now? Was she even alive still? I wonder if I refused the schools offer to accelerate my learning if I could have been with her instead of in here. Or would she have been forced into this torture with me? Though I still remember her face when I told her that I wouldn't see her that often when we going into middle school.
"Akatsuki, why did you call me here?" I saw Amanda scowling at me. I had asked her to come to the baseball field after school.
"Hello to you to." I sighed. I still had yet to get use to Amanda's personality, or more specifically her personality around me. Around anyone else she was the perfect shy girl. Slender, always blushing, but that all ended when she was only around me. She turned into your average day bitch, one that had a nasty ukaku kagune. I pulled out a letter from my backpack and handed it to her. I saw her eyebrow raise.
"A love letter? I refuse." I scoffed at her. Like hell I'd give Amanda a love letter. I'd rather have my kakuhou ripped out.
"Just read the letter." I saw her opened the folded paper and her eyes scanning the paper. I saw her eyes slowly open wider and wider. I saw those sky blue eyes jump towards me.
"You're." I saw her drop the letter. "Skipping a grade!?" I nodded. "How the hell?" I picked up the letter from the ground and dusted it off. I put the letter back into my backpack and zipped it up.
"I study. I can't do much else anymore." I saw Amanda look at me with eyes that almost looked like they cared.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to rem.." I just shook my head.
"It's fine. I'm sure he'd be proud of me." I saw her nod. The two of us just staring at each other. She just had to remind me of that day when we were second grade.
I remember sitting outside on the steps leading to the apartment building doing my homework at a leisurely pace. Not that it was really hard being second grade homework. I heard two people walking up the concert walkway. I was going to ignore them until I smelled Mom. I looked up and saw Mom, her face stained with tears. I threw my homework to the side and ran up to Mom. *Mom, what's wrong?* I saw Mom looked at me and shake her head.
*I'll tell you inside. Come on.* I nodded and went to gather up my school work. That's when I smelled the other person again. I looked back to Mom and saw a tiny figure hiding behind her.
*Mom, who is she?*
*I'll tell you inside. Let's go.* I was surprised at how forceful Mom was being. I got all my papers inside my backpack and threw it over my shoulder.
We got into the apartment and I saw Mom sit down at the table. The s figure still holding onto her. I got a good look at the person. She was around my age, if not a little younger. She had dirty blond hair that was really short and shaggy. She was wearing a dirty red tank top with black shorts. Her eyes were light green with a tint of gray. I guess I was focusing too much on her because she shifted behind Mom a little more.
*Akatsuki, this is Emily. She's the daughter of a friend.* Suddenly Emily's stomach grumbled. Mom got up and went over to the fridge. She opened the door and pulled out some meat. I heard the clicking of the stove as she started to heat up a pan to cook the meat.
I think Mom was the only ghoul who actually cooked food instead of eating it raw. I remember asking her once why she did. She told me that she enjoyed cooking the food and provided good cover if the AGC ever searched our home.
I noticed someone missing. *Mom, where's Dad?* I saw Mom tense up as she cooked the meat. I heard Mom sniffling. *Mom?*
*Your father isn't coming.* I felt my heart stop for a second. *He, He stayed behind to stop the AGC from getting Emily and me. Somehow the AGC found that Emily's parents were ghouls. We went to pick her up to hide her here.* There was a slight pause from her, I could feel the heavy tension that she held. *But the AGC were already there.* I glanced at the girl and saw that she was trying to hide from my gaze. I noticed that my kakugan had activated, something that I wasn't entirely use to happening suddenly. I took a few deep breaths and felt the pulsing of my eyes fade.
I was about to say a few things to Emily but Mom put a plate in front of me and Emily. She then set one for herself. I waited for a second for her to place a plate for Dad but she didn't. *Your father made a choice Akatsuki. Please don't blame anyone for this. Now Emily doesn't speak japanese so we need to speak english from now on. Okay?* I nodded.
"Yes Mom." I glanced at Emily again seeing her rip into the cooked flesh with vigor. "Mom, is she a.." I saw Mom nod to me.
"Yes Emily is a ghoul." I sniffed at her. She didn't smell like a ghoul though. No, she did a bit but she also had a honey like smell to her.
"Why does she not smell like ghoul?" I saw Mom sigh and put down her food that she was about to bite out of.
"Emily, she's…"
"I'm only half." I glanced at the girl and saw her looking at me her left eye was still light green but her right eye was black with a red pupil. I couldn't take my eyes off her mismatched eyes as she went back to eating. I noticed I was staring and whipped my head toward Mom and saw her staring at me.
"This is a secret, do not tell anyone. Emily will be in massive danger from everyone, even others like us, if it gets out" I quickly nodded. With my mind happy I settled in for tearing into my food. I was surprised at how soft Emily's voice was.
Now that I had grown up I knew how special Emily is. She is probably the only half ghoul in the entire world. Though by the time I figured all of this out I was so use to Emily's presence that it didn't impact me that much.
After eating Mom told to go take a bath so after Emily could, since she was very dirty from falling. After running the water into the tub I undressed and sinked into the tub. The hot water relaxing my muscles and soothing the irritation of my still forming kakuhou. I heard the door open and bare feet on the floor. I looked over and saw Emily standing in front of the tub completely naked.
That's why I hated being different than other kids our age. I knew that seeing each other naked was wrong and I could feel embarrassment when I looked at Emily, hell I still did. I was about to yell at her to get out but I saw her blush. "Akemi is busy so with something." Mom was busy? "I.. I don't want to be alone. The scary men might come." I felt my protective nature override the embarrassment when she said that.
"Come on. Let's get that dirt off of you."
After that day Emily insisted on calling me big brother. I tried to fight it but after three days before I broke and stopped fighting it. She also wanted to go to school like I did so I helped train her in controlling her kakugan responses. It nearly took her nearly a half a year to get her responses on a level that was acceptable.
During that time I taught Emily the lessons that were told to me so that she could join in the right year and not be behind. Included on that was also lessons on japanese since she said it was unfair that Mom and I knew it and she didn't. That took up a lot of my time. Not like I could do much else since Mom wouldn't allow me outside except for school.
I tried to remember more about middle school and my freshman and sophomore years of high school but most of it was just foggy. Did nothing really important happened since middle school? No, there were other things. I knew there were other things but I couldn't remember them.
I felt the dense liquid holding me move. It never moved before. I liquid started to drain from the bottom. "Subject 71. Male. Age 15. Status - Unoperational due to higher orders." I was still fifteen? "Subject has just been released from RC suppressant storage." Is that where I was? "We have half an hour before he wakes up." Like hell you do. I felt the feeling to my body already starting to return. I just needed a few more minutes and I would be able to use my kagune. "We have identified subjects legal name but higher ups have suppressed this information due to subjects location and status in middle school. Subject is very smart, having received a letter to skip his entire seventh year of school and move onto eighth grade." How much info did they have on me?
"Doctor why must you always repeat all the information you know from each one of these monsters?" The second voice was much lower than the other voice. He was also much closer to the object I was in.
"Information is the key to winning any war Kevin." I heard a tap of glass right in front of me.
"Still, I think we should just slaughter these things. Especially that girl that came with this one. You said there is nothing special about her right?" I nearly lost it right there. If they dare harm a hair on Emily's head. Wait, is it Emily?
"Hmm, maybe you're right. If the test results today don't show anything we'll kill.." I snapped my eyes open feeling my eyes pulsing as my kakugan showed. I saw two men in front of me. One was a thin man wearing a white lab coat while the other was a muscular man wearing gray security outfit. "Kevin!" I saw the doctor go to warn the guard who had his hand on the object holding me.
I flared out my koukaku and smashed the glass holding me, tearing the guard in half and let my koukaku fade. I locked my eyes onto the doctor and jumped out of the object that held me. I quickly grabbed the man and slammed him into the ground. "Where is Emily?" The doctor moaned in pain. I stepped onto his chest and noticed that I was completely naked. "Where the hell is Emily!?" I put some pressure on the doctor's chest and felt some bones start to crack.
"W..Who?" I let off some pressure so the man could talk.
"The girl with me. Where. Is. She." I heard the doctor cough.
"H..Her? She's behind you." I quickly turned around and saw a glass tube filled with green liquid. Inside the tube was a small figure. I saw Emily floating in the tube. Her form completely naked like I am. I turned toward the doctor to see him still laying on the ground wheezing. I walked up to him and grabbed the collar of his coat.
"Open the tube." I pulled him up and shoved him toward the console near her tube. The man landed on the keyboard and looked back at me.
"I.. I can't the superiors will kill me." I walked to him and put my face in his. My kakugan staring into his brown eyes.
"And I'll eat you alive." I saw the doctor pale. He quickly turned around and started to type on the keyboard. After a few seconds the tube started to drain of liquid. The doctor then fell to the ground, I could smell that he pissed himself. "She'll wake up in half an hour?" I saw the doctor nod. I flared out my koukaku again but noticed it felt off.
I looked and saw that it was the same shape. A huge shell like form with teeth on the outer ridge, the entire thing was almost three times my body size. However, it was not the normal dark red colour that I was use to seeing. It was now deep blue with veins of light blue flowing randomly though it. "What did you do to me?" I saw the doctor turn and look at me. I saw his eyes drift to my massive koukaku.
"Amazing. The experiment worked." I shifted my koukaku and pointed it's spined ridge toward the man. I saw his eyes widen in panic. "Don't! Don't kill me!" I saw the man attempt to hide his face behind his arms. Like that was going to help. "We injected a new form of RC cells into your body. We we're hoping that since your kakuhou is still in it's final stages of stabilizing that we could shift the cell's nature."
"What do the cells do?" I was getting annoyed at this doctor. After he was done being useful I decided that I was going to eat him. I let my koukaku fade as it was taking a decent amount of energy to keep up and a lot of focus to even move properly.
"T-The cells are almost identical to normal cells the only difference is the colour." The only thing they changed was the colour? "Once we figured out that it was possible to change a feature of the RC cells in development then more expenses would have been given to our department. That's all I know. I swear, I'm new here, just transferred a few days ago ." I kept my glare on the doctor. That was a lie. He knew too much about me from his discussion with the guard. Did I need anymore information from him? I looked up and saw Emily's nude form.
"Clothes." I saw the doctor stare at me. "I need clothes and so does she. Where are they?" I saw the man point at a metal door that looked to slide open as there were no handles.
"B..Behind that door. There are lockers with clothes." I nodded. Was there anything else I needed? No, I had everything to escape. I turned to the doctor.
"Thank you for all the information. Now may I ask you one more question?" I saw the doctor nod nervously. "How do you taste?" I saw the man's eyes widen before I leapt onto him and bit into his throat. I pulled out all the muscle I could and with a pull of my head. I felt his warm blood splash onto my face. I pushed the meat into my mouth with my hand and chewed the warm meat.
Wasn't the best but I've had worse. I looked at the doctor and saw that he was already dead. I looked a bit closer and noticed that I tore through arteries and ripped his air pipe. That would explain why he died so fast. I wanted to rip into his flesh more but figure that Emily would have an easier time eating the doctor than getting through the muscle of the guard. She always had a tough time with things like that.
I walked over to the top half of the guard and ripped off the clothes. I pierced the chest and pulled out the ribs leaving me to feast on the good stuff. I quickly grabbed his heart and ripped it out. I took a chomp out of it and chewed the thick muscle.
I always did enjoy hearts, the feeling of the thick muscle that was filled with blood tasted pretty good. Almost what I imagined chocolate with cream filling tasted like. For some reason Emily enjoyed the liver so I had to make sure to save both for her. I looked to the lower half of the guard and reached into it. I felt the liver and pulled it out, not minding my hand was now covered in blood. I took another bite of the heart and walked over to the doctor and placed the liver next to him.
I threw the rest of the heart into my mouth and chewed it as I walked back to my food. I didn't want to take my time and ripped into the body not caring what I chewed on.
After some time the guard's body was pretty much empty of anything. I got up and started to walk toward the door the doctor said that held clothing. As I got near the door I saw it slide open, inviting me to walk in. I did as saw the room light up. I was indeed a locker room, fitted from floor to ceiling with sickly gray metal lockers, only a few had nameplates on them.
I walked up to one of the lockers and read the name. Annie A.. Well, guess I could check if this Annie had clothes that fit Emily. I smashed the locker open and saw that it had a blue skintight outfit. I took it out and saw that it had on the left chest the letters AGC. That confirmed that we were indeed captured and now we had to escape. Likely it seemed like the suit would fit Emily, if I remembered her body correctly.
I went to look for a locker that seemed to have male name. I saw that behind all the lockers was a shower stall. I looked down at my blood covered form and figured that a shower couldn't hurt. I made my way into the shower and washed off all the drying blood.
With that quick act finished I went around looking at the locker names again. Able T. I wonder if Able had any clothes in his locker. I smashed it open and saw that Able did not have any clothes that would work for me. The main reason was the fact there was a pink bra hanging in the locker. Note to self Able is also a female name.
I left the locker and scanned some more names. Kenth. Sure, let's try this one. I smashed it open and saw a larger blue skin tight than Annie's. Figuring that this was the male version of the suit I quickly put it one and found the zipper was in the back.
After some negotiating with my body I was able to get the zipper up. Boy was this suit tight. Emily was not going to enjoy these since she liked loose clothes, like tank tops. I looked into the locker again and saw that it also had a brown trench coat in it. It was cliche but if it helped hide that I wasn't an actual AGC agent then sure. I slipped the coat on over the stupid suit. Now all we had to do was find some shoes that fit and we could escape with ease.
Unfortunately, I didn't think they would have any shoes in our size. I figured it was better to go check on Emily now. I walked out of the locker room to see a figure bent over the body of the doctor. I saw the figure look at me with a single kakugan eye. I waved to Emily. "Enjoying yourself?" I saw Emily nod before looking at me then to herself. I saw her blush which was in great contrast to the blood on her face. "Finish eating." I pointed behind me. "There is a shower and a suit in a locker that I broke into for you." I saw Emily nod before going back to eating.
After Emily was done eating she walked over to the locker room. I could tell she was trying to cover her modesty from my eyes. I had the urge to say that it wasn't anything I hadn't seen before but figured I could do it when we were out of being captured. It was a few minutes later when Emily walked out of the locker room with a similar blue suit like mine. I could tell that she was really uncomfortable with it on, especially since she was holding her arms across her chest.
She walked up to me and looked at me sourly. *Big brother* "Can I have the coat?" I looked at Emily. I would never understand why she said big brother in japanese. I stripped the coat off and handed it to her. She quickly slid it over herself and closed it. I could just tell by the look on her face that she was a lot more comfortable. I saw her look around the room. "Where are we and what's going on?" I looked around the room to for the first time and frowned.
We were inside what seemed to be a semi-large area that was completely covered in white tiles. There were multiple tubes spread around the room, each holding a ghoul probably. There was only one other door connected to the room on the opposite end of the room from the locker room. It made me question why it was there but again it was unimportant right now. I had to think of a way to get us, or at least Emily, out of AGC's grasps.
I refocused on Emily. "From what I know we were captured by the AGC, I can't remember how though." I really did try to focus but my memories were still foggy. "I've been experimented on a bit, though from what I know they were only running tests on you." I saw her pale a little.
"Did they find out?" I shook my head.
"No, they said that you were just a normal ghoul." I saw her breath a sigh of relief.
*Big brother* "What did they do to you?" I reached to my back and rubbed my kakuhou's location.
"They changed the colour of my koukaku that's all." I saw her look at me nervously. "That's all they did seriously." I saw her nod and smile, it was almost child-like.
"Okay, so what's the plan to get out of here?"
"Can you use your kagune?" I saw Emily nod before I saw two curved u shaped muscles formed out of her upper shoulders. The two u came together slightly above her head forming a odd circle type ukaku. "Good, no matter what don't use it." I saw her look at me like I didn't make sense. "You're only half ghoul. You can get through any scanner with ease. You can get out of here without much of a problem." I saw my reasoning got to her.
"Ah, that makes sense. You're so smart" *Big brother.* I looked toward the door that would lead to our potential freedom.
"Let's go. Remember, stay near the walls and don't look anyone in the eyes." I saw Emily nod to me. I made my way to the door, hearing Emily walking quite close to me. As I got near the door slide open just like the other door.
Across the opening I saw another door just like ours. I looked to the left and right and saw a long hallway with doors, more than I could count on both side. I knew behind the doors there were probably ghouls trapped just like Emily and myself.
Even though it was quite a large hallway it was completely empty of people. I looked at the ceiling and didn't see any cameras or security devices at all. I looked guessing that right would be the better way to go I started to make my way down the hallway. After taking a few steps out I waved for Emily to follow. She quickly made her way behind me.
After a few minutes of walking the hallway suddenly opened up into a large room. I could hear people nearby across the room. I scanned across the room and saw it was a simple reception area with a few women sitting behind a counter talking to each other while typing on their keyboards.
With the height of the reception counter the women wouldn't be able to see our lack of shoes until we got to the door that was in front of the counter, as long as we kept the sound of our bare feet from echoing. I leaned towards Emily. "Act casual. We are going to walk right past them. Try to make sure your feet don't make any sounds." I saw Emily nod.
With Emily knowing the plan I ran my hands over the skin tight suit to rid it of any wrinkles. I looked over Emily and saw her's was fine, especially because of the coat. I gave Emily and nod and started to make my way across the room. Emily slightly behind me and to the left.
As we were walking closer and closer to the counter I could feel my heart start to beat faster and faster. I saw one of the women glance at me. I felt myself tense a bit before she looked back to her co-worker and continued their conversation. I turned slightly right and started to make a beeline for the, now noticeable, glass doors.
We got to the door and I started to push against it. As the door opened I looked slightly back to see the women still ignoring us. Not wanting to push our luck with getting lazy receptionist I quickly made my way past the door, not really caring about what was on the other side.
I felt fresh air and sunlight hit my face. I scanned around to make sure that everything was okay. We were standing on the sidewalk that lead back to a empty parking lot. Glancing around I saw that there were not other buildings around but heavy forests on all sides. I grabbed Emily's hand and ran with her to get out of the view of the glass doors toward the forest. As we were running I kept my eyes open looking for any agents, or as they liked to be called in Japan, doves.
We got a good distance away from the lone building I let go of Emily's hand and slowed down our pace. After a few seconds of catching our breath I looked around us. As far as I could tell there was only forest. Where the hell were we? I glanced back toward the direction of the building. We could last about two months without another meal, not that it would be good for us. If we kept traveling in one direction then we would be bound to hit a town eventually, but what if it was full of agents? There were a lot of questions that I had about what to do but not a lot of information.
The best plan would be to go back to the building and get information about the area from the receptionist. Not that it was a good idea since they just saw us walk out and our sudden questions would only give too much information that we did not know the area. I put my hands across my chest as I thought what the best course of action was. *Big brother* "I smell something familiar." I focused on Emily.
I knew that because she was only half that her sense of smell, while better than a humans, was not close to a full ghoul's smell. I took a deep sniff of the air and I did smell something very similar, though I knew I hadn't smelt it in years. "Emily, I know this smell." I saw her look at me expectantly. "Agents." I saw Emily's eyes go wide.
*Big brother* "I didn't know you could smell normal humans from agents." I shook my head.
"I can't but I know the smell and only an agent would be able to have this smell. Come on let's go get back something that doesn't belong to them."
So I have set up a new poll on my profile for this story.
It will be to see if I should add canon character into this story later on or if it should stay strictly away from the main story of TG. Obviously this will effect the story in a huge either way so if you have an opinion on this please make sure to vote.
