"Is that her? She looks so young and innocent." The CCG members gossiped amongst each other. Amon, a Rank 1 Anti-Ghoul Investigator, zoned them all out and focused intensely on the girl that stood in the next room. Her pink hair was split into four pieces, two back pigtails and two front ones that were tied by small, red bows. Aside from that, she wore a powder blue school uniform and had a sword strapped around her waist. Amon couldn't believe that someone like her was capable of killing anyone or anything.

"Are you ready to meet everyone?" The man in charge asked as the girl set down the report she held in her hands. She knew everything she needed in order to find the one that they had been searching for.

"I am." She answered; her pink gaze shifting to the crowd of onlookers in annoyance. Realizing that they had been spotted, the agents all looked away in shame and tried as hard as possible to act completely casual. The only one who kept his gaze glued on her was Amon. He just couldn't figure this girl out, and that bothered him too much for his liking.

"Attention, everyone!" The man in charge called as he walked into the meeting room. "I would like to introduce you all to your new comrade, Gasai Yuno." He introduced as Yuno walked into the room after him. Giggling, she whispered something unintelligible under her breath, and then put on one of the most innocent faces that any of them had ever seen.

"Hello, everyone. I look forward to working with you all, and I'm hoping you'll take good care of me." She sang, and some men lost their balance while others felt their heart skip a beat.

"Leave it to us to protect you, Yuno-Chan!" They all hollered in unison as they swarmed her and bombarded her with questions. However, Yuno was used to all of the attention and went along with it to avoid any trouble. While she did this, Amon shook his head and went right back to work. He didn't have time to waste on such a trivial matter; he had to find the two ghouls that were responsible for Mado's death: Eye Patch and Rabbit…

"How are you feeling?" Toka asked, walking into the room and quickly shutting the door behind her. She watched with pain in her heart as the cloaked figure in front of her moved from one corner of the room to an even darker one to avoid being seen. It had been months since she had last seen his face.

"Like a ghoul," he replied with a hidden smirk. "Why are you here, Toka? I've already told you that I'm not going back to Anteiku, so why must you persist? Do you have some interior motive for wanting me back?" He questioned her.

"There is no interior motive. Can't you see that we miss you and are worried about you being alone here? The CCG are looking for you, and they're not going to stop until they get their hands on you. Don't you understand that?" She asked him, taking a step forward.

"Don't come any closer!" He ordered, and she jumped back in fear. Toka knew exactly what he was capable of, and that scared her more than she wanted to believe. "Let those idiot CCG try and come here. I'll show them exactly what I'm capable of." He sneered as his centipede shaped kagune came out. "I am half kakuja, Toka. I'm a danger to everyone near me, including you. Please, go before I do something I might regret." He pleaded with her, and she turned to walk out.

"I'm not giving up on you." Toka added before shutting the door and heading back home. Laughing menacingly to himself, the young man emerged from the shadows and removed his hood with a wicked smirk. His face was concealed by a black eye patch and mouth cover; the dark color of the mask brining out the intensity of his snow white hair and crimson eye. He was the ghoul that everyone feared; he was Kaneki Ken…

Meanwhile, Yuno had finally gotten away from the mob of fan boys and hid herself away in the practice room. She wanted to get her mind off of things and violence seemed to be something that was able to calm her down. She'd been using violence as a method to restrain her inner desires ever since she was a child, so there was no way she was going to change anytime soon.

"What a bunch of fools," Yuno sighed as she unsheathed her blade and sliced the practice dummy in half. "Can these people really be the amazing CCG that everyone in the 8th Ward brag about? If they can fall so easily to a pretty face, I can't imagine them trying to kill a gorgeous ghoul." She noted; her pink eyes glowing with malice.

"Gasai Yuno?" Someone called from behind her, and she snapped her head back in anger that she was interrupted. Amon was leaning against the hinges of the door and staring down at her as if she was his prey. In reality, it was the other way around. Yuno was prey to no one.

"I am Gasai Yuno, and you must be Kotaro Amon. Is there something that I can help you with?" She asked, sliding her blade back into its rightful place as she walked toward him. She wasn't threatened by his presence like most were; she held her head high, and her eyes were consumed with pride. Amon couldn't help but respect her in that moment.

"I've been meaning to ask you, for what reason were you brought here?" He asked, and Yuno stopped walking and cocked her head to the side. Why was she, a seventeen-year-old high school student, called to the 20th Ward? That was a very good question, one that not many would even bother to ask.

"I'm here on assignment," was her subtle reply.

"What kind of assignment?" He questioned her, letting his curiosity get the better of him.

"I'm here to-." She began, but was silenced by a sudden alarm blaring around them. "What is that?" She wondered, grabbing the handle of her sword and looking around nervously.

"That's the Ghoul Alarm System, or GAS for short, that the CCG had installed." Amon explained. "There must be a ghoul attacking somewhere within the ward. I'm gonna head out to investigate. Would you like to join me?" He offered, and Yuno's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Yes, I would love to!" She cheered, grabbing his hand and running off ahead. She hadn't fought a real ghoul in so long; everyone was so keen on keeping her abilities hidden and tightly under raps. "Where to, boss?" She asked as soon as they were in the office. Feeling his lip twist up into a smile, Amon grabbed his briefcase and turned to look at the pink haired beauty beside him.

"Just follow me." He said, and she beamed. The two rushed out of the building with different motives in mind: one eager to protect, and the other eager to kill. "The GSA signaled that the ghoul was somewhere in this area, so keep a lookout. No matter what, you shouldn't drop your gu-." Amon began to explain, and then shut up when he saw that Yuno was already gone. "Yuno?!" He called in a panic. If she had gotten hurt, he would be in big trouble with the higher-ups. "Yuno, where are you?" He screamed, looking around in search of her.

"Who is Yuno?" A voice asked, and Amon spun around to face his guest. To his surprise, the person in front of him was…

"…Eye Patch." He whispered in shock, and then released the weapon given to him by Mado. "I'll kill you; I swear it!" He announced.

"Kill me? First, let's test whether you can even land a blow on me." Kaneki teased him with a chuckle.

"If he can't, I know I can." A small female voice chimed in, and both men turned to watch as a beautiful, pink haired girl emerged from the shadows. Both were frozen in place, hypnotized by how stunning she was. The pale moon illuminated a warm glow over her, brining out the intensity of her pink eyes. Using their dumbfounded reactions to her advantage, Yuno smirked and tilted her head with a small giggle. "Let's dance, Eye Patch-Kun!" She sang, dashing forward and drawing her blade…
