"Are you really going to leave her behind?" Touka questioned Renji. His silence was broken by her alarming concern, "She'll die!"
"Rize's too dangerous. Her presence would only alarm more Doves and there are enough of them swarming this ward as it is," he cautioned. "But this is just-"she objected. "It's for the best Touka."
Their voices reverberated through the container and roused their prisoner back to reality. Her once beautifully lush, lavender hair was now a dried out mess that hung over her empty purple eyes. She was but a shadow of her former self surrounded by steel walls blanketed in darkness. After being kept in the dark for so long, the moon's light was disorienting the moment Renji opened the door to his fragile captive. He held a package with a familiar alluring scent that appealed to a ghoul's appetite.
Rize immediately knew what the package contained causing her mouth to salivate. The pungent smell of iron and raw flesh lured her to the towering male only to be pulled back by the chains that bound her. To be so close to the food that she yearned for only to be denied by her weakness from starvation. Her eyes were ablaze with the need to sate her voracious appetite as she called out to the one thing that was on her mind.
"Meat! MEAT! Give it to me! I NEED IT! MEEEEEEEAT!" she shouted. Rize lunged and crawled with all her might, but the harder she tried to free herself, the more strength she lost until she lied on the floor sobbing like a child after their tantrum was ignored. Renji's dark eyes held pity for her. He tossed the flesh patty at a distance close enough to where she could reach. Within seconds, the ghoulish female was devouring it, savoring the sweet taste of blood as it danced upon her pallet and caked her mouth in red.
"I don't know if you'll remember any of this, but this is the last time you'll see me. Farewell, Rize," Renji said closing the container behind him. The woman lifted her head from her morsel to see the light fading before her eyes and fear began to hold its grip. "W-wait! Don't leave me here! Don't leave me…," she panicked on the verge of tears.
The moment Renji left, Touka creaked open the door to leave another helping of meat for Rize. "Good luck…," she said as she left to follow her companion. Foolishly, the prisoner began to devour her rations, but that foolishness led to discovery. She remembered who she was.
"Fufufu, so this is what I've been reduced to? I'm no better than a commoner scrounging for meat!" Rize thought. She sat up from primal position feeling a portion of her strength returning. She flexed her back muscles whilst pulling her arms against her restraints. "Just a bit more…!" she struggled. The pores of her lower back opened and formed four tentacles of her kagune that broke her chains. Rize then carved her way out with her additional appendages to find herself in a storage district not far from the 20th ward.
After concealing her kagune, she took advantage of her tattered looks to play the part of the victim once she entered the city. A concerned citizen called out to her. "Miss, are you alright?" He was an average man, not very appealing, but he was walking heap of meat. Rize took the opportunity to play the damsel in distress. "Please help me! I've been robbed!" she cried clinging to his coat. "Don't worry. I'll notify the police to investigate this matter. Why don't you come with me to somewhere safe?" the man said in a reassuring manner.
She followed the man until they passed a dark alley where she began to initiate her predatory instincts. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck with a catlike grin spreading across her face. "M-miss…?" he said feeling flattered. "Mmm~ I feel so safe in the arms of a big, strong man~" Rize's voice held a sultry, velvet tone that would make a man weak at the knees. The man foolishly embraced his predator and like all prey, he fell into her trap. "Guh…!" Her crimson tentacles ripped into his flesh. Three of them were used to puncture him ensuring his death was swift and silent. She gave a light cackle as she stirred up the insides of her meal. "Fufu~ It's nothing personal! After all, at the end of the day, a girl's gotta eat! Riiiight~?" Rize's kagune began to skewer and prod away at the man's flesh. His blood cakes her bare feet and forms a shape akin to the Roman numeral "XI."
Covered in blood, the huntress grazed her tongue against her stained fingers to savor the warm taste of sanguine fluids. "Oh dear, I've made such a mess of myself! After I get cleaned up, who should be my next prey~?"
