I wanted to do an alternate story where CCG successfully infiltrates the Aogiri hideout before Kaneki transforms and kills Yamori. No white haired Kaneki in this one, sorry kids! Juuzou/Kaneki.

The pungent smell of blood was thick in the air of the wide open room. Kaneki breathed harshly, the pathetic sounding noises echoing through out the spacious torture chamber as he hunched over, his wet eyes staring down at the horrifying aftermath of Yamori's sick game. Seven of his toes were missing, raggedly ripped from his foot with a pair of thick pliers. The black haired teen whined out, his mouth watering up as vomit began to well in the back of his throat. How had it come to this? Why?

Kaneki had been in Yamori's 'hobby room' for two days. The only thing keeping the young ghoul's sanity in tact, sickeningly enough, was Yamori's instructions on counting down by sevens from one thousand while his torturer continuously severed his fingers and toes, waiting patiently for the flesh to regenerate so he could do it all over again. Kaneki feared that soon, he could no longer withstand this hell.

He had been alone for hours now, still fastened to the chair by chains around his wrists and ankles. Kaneki remained hunched over, squeezing his eyes shut as his body throbbed, the brutal sensation of his flesh in the process of regenerating sending shocks of pain through his arms and legs. "Please..." Kaneki choked out, hot tears and snot mingling on his face as he whispered to himself. "Anyone...please save me..."

Very suddenly, the room was filled with a loud sound, the wooden chair Kaneki sat in rattling and jolting him out of his pained daze. The ghoul could have sworn it sounded like an explosion, followed by the sound of rapid machine gun fire. Kaneki's eyes went wide, the continuous gunshots beginning to mix with shouts of commands from who he could only conclude were from CCG agents raiding the building.

Swallowing dryly, Kaneki gritted his teeth, baring through the pain as he watched the giant steel doors across the room, waiting. At the moment, he would rather be captured by CCG than to remain in Yamori's possession any longer.

As the gunfire began to sound distant to Kaneki's ears, his heart sank into his stomach as he wondered how deep he actually was in this enormous building. Would they ever find him, or would he be confined to this hell for the rest of his life?

Suddenly, Kaneki gasped, hearing a completely different sound that seemed to come from just outside the doors.

"Hahaha! C'mon, don't die on me now! Let's play a little longer! Aweh, c'moonn. Don't die yet...please..."

The sound of insane laughter was leaking faintly into the room, followed by a voice that Kaneki had never heard before. The dark haired ghoul was frozen in his seat, tears still spilling over from his eyes as his gaze remained on the doors.

"Well...that was no fun...you died so easily. Hey...wonder what's behind these huuuge doors!"
