CHAPTER 2

Bullets ripped through the air as the Bureau Investigators were shooting at a dark figure with a grey mask charging right at them. Just five minutes ago they were walking back to their homes after going out to eat dinner, then out of nowhere a figure came along. At first they thought nothing of it but then they saw something strange on their face, a dull but lively eye colored red looked right at them, then after a moment they realized what they were up against. Fear spread across their faces, but one of them reacted by drawing a gun and firing at him then in a moment a rinkaku tore through him, they tried and tried but alas it was to no avail as the ghoul viciously tore through them with no remorse. As the ghoul walked forward it began to feel a small shred of remorse as he saw the ring on of the men's fingers, but he paid no heed to the feelings all he was worried about was demoralizing the CCG by using hit and run tactics and leaving no survivors.

"Huh, guess the stories of the bureau being weak weren't lies after all. I don't think it took me even a minute." said Kaneki.

"Oi, what the hell are you doing in the twentieth ward making such a mess. This isn't your territory!" said a ghoul walking out an alleyway. He couldn't tell if they were male or female. He paid them no heed and stalked off into the dark, they followed and they realized that he had disappeared.

"Damn it, fucking bastard got away. Who does he think he is, he's gonna attract the doves to the ward and after all we've done to keep it peaceful here too." said the pink haired ghoul. Then they just walked back heading to their home wondering just who the hell was that grey masked ghoul.

In a small apartment, in the bathroom was Kaneki washing off the blood and grime from his body. After a few minutes the shower head stopped jetting water and he stepped out with a towel. He looked at himself in the mirror and realized something.

"Fuckin hell, now I have to dye my damn hair again." cursed Kaneki as he saw the black hair fading back into the white roots that he was all too familiar with and despised. He dried off and put on some clothes, he opened the door and was met with an empty hallway. He took a left and headed into his living room and took a seat on his couch and took in the site of Tokyo as he looked out the window of his room. A small buzz from his phone caught his attention as he read a message.

From Uta

"Kaneki-kun come by HySy and soon, I finally got around to repairing your mask."

Kaneki replied with an 'ok' and looked at the clock and saw that it read 20:46, he got up and went to his bedroom. He picked up his book The Black Goat's Egg by an author he quite like who went by the name Takatsuki Sen. He got in his bed and began to read and when he eventually came to feeling drowsy he let the darkness consume his vision.

Kaneki opened his eyes and was initially confused but then he began to take in his surroundings. It was a dark room with a single door, but then he looked at the floor anxiety began to creep into his mind. It was a dirtied black and white tiled floor with splashes of a red liquid surrounding where he was sitting. After a moment he tried to stand but was met with resistance, he looked down again and now there were chains holding his wrists and feet down, before where he was free now he was a caged bird. He began to struggle, furiously trying to break the chains, but then the door squeaked open. A large silhouette peered in, then he began to walk slowly to him whistling, and he heard a small chuckle as the figure got closer. He saw the dreaded pale blond hair that he hoped to never see again.

"So Kaneki, I've got a question. What's one thousand minus seven." said the figure with a wide smile and in his eyes was a gleam of insanity. The same look that Kaneki himself once had in his earlier days.

Then Kaneki's eyes dropped and he began to scream ferociously till he could no longer. Then once again he felt the torture of Yamori. First came his fingers, they were cut off and the same for his toes. But horror struck Kaneki, his body wasn't repairing. His fingers and toes were permanently gone. He began to scream again and Yamori began to cackle madly as he watched the madness go through the young man's eyes.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, FINALLY NOTICED HAVE YOU KANEKI!"

Kaneki shot out of his bed kagune out and ready to kill anything that moved. He finally noticed he was in his bedroom and finally tried to cool off and relax. But the key word being tried, he was too shaken up from his seemingly real nightmare.
