I do not own Tokyo Ghoul.
For the next few months, Kairi would sneak out and visit the same roof top. She would usually find Uta there, and some times Yomo would be with him. And they normally had a few scratches and bruises on them, but nothing that looked serious.
Today she would go visit later, once she was done her homework. Which Kairi was in the middle of doing. She set her pencil down and stretched with a yawn. "Why does math have to be so complicated?" She set her head down on her desk with a huff.
"What's up?" Kairi sat up and looked over at her window. A masked man with blond hair sat on her windowsill inside of her bedroom. "Cozy room you got here."
Kairi frowned as she stared at the man. "Uta-kun?" The mask was made of many square pieces sewn together with two 'X's at the eyes. But something about the hair and air about him just gave his identity away to her.
"You know, the point of a mask is to hide one's identity." Uta chuckled as he removed his mask. "How'd you guess?"
"Any other Ghoul would have grabbed me and run." Kairi chuckled as she got up to shut her bedroom door. "Goodnight." She called down to her parents as she shut the door. "I'm not late you know." She shut off her desk light as she made her way to her closet to grab a sweater.
"I know." Uta stated as he watched Kairi walk around. "But we aren't going to the roof top tonight." He smirked as Kairi stared at him in confusion. "It's not safe."
"You mean the Dove raids?" Kairi had heard from her parents that there were raids almost every night. Her parents were scheduled for a raid that night as well. Her worry changed when Uta shook his head. "Territory war?"
"Yep. Someone wants my spot." Uta had explained to Kairi how he was the leader of 4th ward. Which meant he was the strongest Ghoul in the area. And anytime someone challenged him, there was usually may casualties. "I made you something."
Kairi stood in front of Uta as he pulled something out of his jacket. She looked at him as he placed a mask over her face and tied it in place. "Go take a look." Kairi walked over to her closet and pulled the door open. She stared at the mirror as she looked at the mask Uta had made her. One eye piece was large enough to cover her eyebrow, while the other was under the brow. Then multiple claw like pieces reached across her face, obscuring her features. "Yomo-kun says it looks like a spider."
"It kind of does." Kairi smiled as she pulled her hood up. "I'm certainly small enough." She giggled as Uta placed a hand on her head, he was still a good foot taller than her. "Why do I need a mask?"
"Like you said, Doves are out. Plus I don't want to share you." Uta gave Kairi a wink before he pulled his mask back on. "Let's go." He held his hand out for Kairi to take, smiling behind the mask when she took it without hesitation. He quickly picked her up before jumping out of her window.
Kairi watched in amazement as Uta traveled around the neighborhood. He was fast, elegant, and fearless. It took her breath away. But it wasn't like she would be using it to scream, more like to laugh and shout in excitement. The thrill of moving so quickly set her heart racing.
They landed just outside of an old apartment building. Uta set Kairi down gently and fixed her hair. "Have fun?" He chuckled as he listened to Kairi's heart slow down.
"That was awesome!" Kairi tried to keep her voice down, but after the adrenaline rush it was rather hard. "Do I have to keep the mask on?"
"Probably best. But don't worry, no one will touch you." Uta opened the door to the apartment and led Kairi in. "I'm back, what do we got?" Uta sat down on a couch and pulled Kairi down with him. She scooted a bit away form him, which he guessed had something to do with the blush on her cheeks. "Any sight of them?"
"A small group down the road in 3rd block. But nothing here so far." A blond haired girl walked in with a folder. She looked from Uta to the new girl beside him. "Who are you?"
"This is Kairi. She's a friend." Uta stated while thinking over what Rei had told him. "What about the Doves?"
"They've been silent." Yomo stated as he walked into the room. He stopped and frowned seeing Kairi at th hideout. "Uta, what is she doing here?" He glare at the boy while Uta just shrugged, mostly ignoring him.
"Did you say down the road is 3rd block?" Kairi asked the blond girl. She looked over at Uta with a frown. "Raid tonight is on all of 4th through to 6th block."
Uta and Yomo shared a look before Uta let out a hiss. "Fuck. Rei, get the others to start packing. We move to 9th tonight. Then back here in a week or two." He got up and started collecting papers from around the room. "Yomo, you keep an eye out for the Doves? Kairi, help me with these."
They all set about doing their jobs till another masked Ghoul burst into the room. "Uta-san, Doves are two doors down."
"We know, get cleaning." Uta ordered as he started a fire in a trashcan and dropped some papers into it. "Kairi, burn everything."
"Who's she?" the Ghoul asked as Kairi continued working. She let out a hiss as she cut herself on a paper. "She's a human." Kairi froze as the Ghoul stared at her in shock, then ran at her.
"Hands off Sasuke." Uta held the Ghoul back by his throat. "She's a friend. Now get back to work." He kept an eye on Sasuke as the Ghoul left the room. "Kairi, I'm taking you home."
"You have to make sure everything is taken care of here." Kairi argued as Uta walked up to her. "One of my parents will be leading the raid. They're the ones you will have the most problems with. The other officers and investigators are children compared to them."
"What are you suggesting?" Uta frowned wondering what Kairi was thinking. Knowing how comfortable she was around Ghouls and how much she trusted him, he wasn't sure what she had in mind.
"We have to move." Yomo commented as he walked back into the room. He watched both Uta and Kairi curiously, there was rarely ever any tension between them, but you could cut the tension with a knife.
Kairi took her mask off and handed it to Uta. "Bite me." She saw both Uta and Yomo freeze at her suggestion. "Either of my parents will stay with me over going after the Ghoul that attacked me. Thinking the Ghoul will eventually come back after having dealt with the others. They'll stay with me till an ambulance arrives."
"Are you crazy?" Yomo asked staring at the girl in shock. "Have you ever been bitten before? It's not fun."
"I've been bitten several times." Kairi stated while she crossed her arms. "It'll give you enough time to get far enough away." A sudden pounding on the front door interrupted them. "And it seems you need it."
Uta slowly nodded as he passed Kairi's mask to the other man. "Yomo, tell the others to leave, I'll be right behind you." He waited till Yomo had left before removing his own mask. "Don't you dare die."
"Then don't bite anything too major." Kairi held still as Uta pulled her towards him. She shivered as she felt him pull her sweater and shirt off of her shoulder. She let out a small whimper as his teeth sunk into her skin and muscle. A cry of pain escaped her lips as his teeth hit her collarbone. After her cry the sound of the door crashing open was heard downstairs. Kairi gripped her shoulder as she fell onto the couch. She looked at the room and found it empty, Uta had left.
"CCG! Come out with your hands up!" Kairi got up from the couch with a hiss. Looking over she saw her shoulder and most of the right side of her body covered in blood. She took one step and stumbled into the doorway, letting out another cry of pain. "We have a victim over here!" Kairi looked up as an investigator ran up to her. "Kairi-chan? Someone get Shimoto-Taichou! His daughter is injured!"
Kairi slid down the wall till she was sitting on the ground, the room was starting to spin a bit. "Kairi!" Shimoto Tousen fell to the ground in front of his daughter. By the amount of blood she was covered in, he was surprised she was still conscious. "Just stay with me baby girl. Get an ambulance over here!" He ordered the men as he checked his daughter over. "Kairi, who did this?"
Kairi shook her head, she had to make her lie believable. "I don't know. He had a mask on. Then he covered my eyes."
"What are you doing here?" Tousen asked his daughter as he took off her sweater and pressed it to the wound. "Your mother and I thought you were at home."
"I'm sorry." Kairi said as tears came to her eyes, her father was pushing on her wound really hard to try and stop the blood. "I met someone, and I didn't want you two to scare him away." Kairi fought to keep her eyes open, she was so tired all of a sudden.
"Kairi, stay awake." Tousen called to his daughter as she fought to keep her eyes open. "I know you're tired, but I need you to stay awake." He could hear sirens coming in trough the door downstairs. "Kairi, I'm going to move you, okay?"
Kairi nodded as he father picked her up. She could see everything, but her mind wasn't registering it all. Her mother came over crying at one point. Then she was in the back of a bright white ambulance. Then people were yelling at her as she finally managed to drift off to sleep.
Kairi was in the hospital for a week. She had lost a lot of blood, but apparently nothing had been bitten off or broken. They said she was lucky her father showed up when he did. Kairi was more than happy when she was finally released from the hospital.
"Home!" She called out as she walked into her house. Her arm was in a sling, but her injury was healed and she was fully functioning. It was there because her parents were still worried she would tear her wound open if she moved it too much. "Such a beautiful place."
"Someone's excited." Kairi gave her mother a smile as she started leaping up the stairs. "Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. It's left overs."
"Alright." Kairi replied as she got into her room and fell onto her bed. The hospital bed had not been comfortable. "I missed my room." She giggled as she rolled herself up in her comforter.
The sound of her cell phone buzzing pulled her out of her happy bubble. But seeing who it was put a smile back onto her face. Uta had texted. "Back from the hospital yet?"
Kairi smiled as she texted back. "Yep. I have a sling, but I don't need it. You guys all okay?"
"Yep." The short text came back almost as soon as she had sent the other one. "Want me to come get you?"
Kairi thought for a moment. There was a good chance her parents would be checking up on her during the night, but she could always move her pillows so it looked like she was in her bed. "Yes please. Give me an hour." She left her phone on her bed as she went over to her closet to change her clothes. Her mother had grabbed her something to wear home from the hospital, but it still smelled like the hospital.
Forty minutes later Kairi was walking down the hall from her room towards the stairs. She pulled a sweater on over her tank top. Under her top were bandages covering the new skin that had grown over her bite mark. The bandages covered her shoulder, and upper torso.
Kairi paused at the top of the stairs, it was silent downstairs. "Mom?" Kairi called hesitantly as she climbed down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen and found no one. Food was on the table, still steaming, but no sign of her parents. "Dad!" Kairi called in worry, something wasn't right.
Kairi pulled out her phone and began writing a text to Uta. "I would stop if I were you." Kairi spun around to see who had spoken. A hand grabbed her throat and threw her backwards. She landed on the dinning table, flipping it over and all of the food on her. "I don't think you will be needing this." Kairi looked up as a black haired man held up her phone, then crushed it in his hand. "And I wouldn't make a sound either. Otherwise one of them might lose their head."
Kairi followed the man's gaze to the living room. She found her parents tied up with duct tape with 5 Ghouls around them. She noticed a quinque case in the corner of the room, most likely tossed there. Then on the ground, scattered and broken, were pieces of a black quinqeu, her mother's Black Bullet. "Mom...dad..." She whispered as she saw them looking so defeated. She glared back the the Ghoul that had broken into her home. "Who are you?"
"The name's Fuma." Kairi ground her teeth together as Fuma picked her up by her hair and dragged her into the living room. "You were not that easy to find." He tossed her to another one of Ghouls who tied her hands with duct tape and placed another piece over her mouth. "But I found you, Uta's little pet." Kairi stared at him in shock. "Did you think I was stupid? The scent of your pretty little blood was all over his hideout. Then the reports of two Doves visiting a hospital daily. Then the fact that you weren't missing a single bit of flesh." As he spoke he unzipped her sweater and pushed it off of her shoulders. His hand traced the spot on her collar bone where Uta had bitten her. "This wasn't an attacking bite, it's more like a love bite."
Kairi could hear her parents struggling and trying to curse the Ghoul, but with the gag it was all muffled. She froze as Fuma placed a hand at the top of her tank top, then tore through it. She tried to move to cover herself, but the Ghoul behind her kept her in her kneeling position. 'At least the bandages cover everything.'
Kairi froze again as the man's hand gently wrapped around her neck. "Shall I show your parents what they missed?" He whispered in her ear before standing up and walking over to her parents. "Your little girl here is friends with a Ghoul. She told him to bite her so he and his friends could get away from you both." He chuckled as the two parents continued to glare death at him and tried to yell at him through their gags. "And this is how you can tell." Fuma grabbed Kairi's mom's throat and lifted her up. In an instant his teeth were sinking into her throat, blood squirting around the room.
Kairi stared in horror as she watched the blood cover the room. She was snapped out of her daze when her mother's corpse hit the floor. She tried to get to her mother, but she was being held back.
Fuma chuckled as he whipped the blood from his mouth. "Her blood smells almost like yours. But yours has a spice to it." Fuma shot a smirk at Kairi's father. "She must get that from you." He chuckled as he saw the two humans staring at the corpse in shock and sadness. "Boys, have a snack."
Kairi shut her eyes and looked away as the Ghouls began tearing at her mother's body. For a moment she felt no pressure on her hands, then she was pulled back onto her ass. She shot a glare up at Fuma as he pulled her against his chest. "Shall we give your old man a show before he dies?" Kairi tried curling herself into a ball as Fuma's hand reached around to her front. "Now now, I'll make sure you enjoy yourself."
Kairi felt tears burn her eyes as a sharp nail began cutting through the bandages, nicking her skin every now and then. 'Uta...help...' A muffled sob escaped her throat when Fuma's hand ran over her stomach and towards her shorts.
"Hands off." Kairi's eyes snapped open as the body behind her was thrown off. She looked behind her, a Ghoul with a mask made of squares stood over her.
Fuma glared in rage at the newcomers. "Kugo!" Fuma shouted as the Ghoul that still had a hostage ripped the human's head off. He smirked as the girl stared in horror, then started screaming loudly behind her gag.
Uta glared at the Ghouls, they had really crossed a line. "Yomo-kun, watch Kairi." He cracked his knuckles as he drew his kagune out.
Yomo stared as Uta walked towards the Ghouls in the living room. Normally neither him or Uta would care if a Dove family was killed. But then again, Kairi wasn't a normal human they met either. She wasn't scared of them, she accepted them. It made them feel normal, human almost.
He turned his attention to Kairi, she had grown quiet and still. "Kairi?" He gently removed the tape from her mouth and hands, but still she didn't move or make a sound. "Hey, talk to me." He tilted her face towards his, her eyes were vacant. "Everything is going to be okay." He pulled her sweater up and zipped it shut. "Let's get you out of here."
"Boss won't like that." Yomo ducked as a kagune sliced above his head. "And boss always gets what he wants." A single Ghoul stood ready to attack him. But with Kairi unresponsive, Yomo was at a disadvantage. The Ghoul swiped at them, making sure to attack on Kairi's side.
Yomo knocked Kairi out of the way while he took the hit. Kairi could faintly register what was going on. She knew who Uta and Yomo where. But she didn't understand what was happening anymore, it all felt so wrong. She leaned back against the wall, not realizing how far back it was and missed it. But she hit something else instead, her father's Quinque case.
Kairi looked from the white case to the fight still going on in her living room. "Why not." She pushed herself to a standing position and picked up the case. She saw one of the other Ghouls take note of her and run at her. "Come at me." She pushed the button on the handle as she swung it in front of her. She cut through the Ghoul's head as the large red scythe took shape mid swing. Repositioning the scythe, she held onto the second handle and pulled the trigger, shooting another one of the Ghouls in the head. By this point the other three Ghouls that had broken into her house were paying attention to her. "Die."
Uta and Yomo didn't hesitate to take down the remaining Ghouls when they stared at Kairi. In all honesty, they had been shocked by Kairi's actions as well. They had thought it would take a few weeks to get a response from her again. But as they turned to congratulate her, she collapsed.
Uta caught Kairi before she hit the floor, setting the scythe down beside them. "Kairi? Kairi, wake up." She shook her shoulder but there was no response. The distant sounds of sirens was the only thing heard in the silent house. "We need to leave."
"We can't take her." Yomo noticed the unhappy look on Uta's face, he knew they couldn't. "If we take her and she pops up later, it will only give her trouble."
"We can't just leave her." Uta hugged Kairi as the sound of Sirens grew louder. "I won't leave her."
"You stay, you die." Yomo stood up and picked up the scythe. "I'll hold onto this for her. I'll put it with her mask." He placed a hand on Uta's shoulder. "Don't die. Otherwise she might kill me." The last thing he did was collect Ut'a mask before he left the house unseen.
Uta chuckled as Yomo left. He took a few deep breaths as his eyes changed to match those of a human. He gathered Kairi up in his arms before he ventured for the front door. The sirens were loud, probably just beyond the gate. "Might as well put on a show." Uta kicked the door open, luckily no one shot at him. He walked out and was surprised to see quite a large number of police and investigators outside.
"Kairi-chan?!" One of the investigators called out as he ran up to Uta. "What about Tousen-san and Fumi-san?"
"No one else is alive in there." Uta stated as the officer ushered him towards an ambulance. He set Kairi down on the bed before climbing into the vehicle. The doors were shut as they drove off towards the hospital. He held onto Kairi's hand as she laid unmoving on the bed. "You're going to be okay Kairi, I promise."
Kairi woke up to an annoying beeping sound. She opened her eyes and found herself in a room of spotless white. 'Great, I'm back in the hospital.' She slowly pushed herself up into a sitting position as she looked around the room. There was no one else in the room.
The door to her room opened and a nurse walked in. The nurse froze as she caught sight of her. She stepped back out of the room and called down the hall. "Young man, your friend is awake."
Kairi blinked as the sound of running feet was heard before a winded Uta ran into the room. "Kairi." Uta ran up to her bedside and hugged her. "You're awake." Kairi slowly returned the hug back, Uta usually didn't give hugs. He certainly wasn't apposed to touching, but he never initiated a hug.
"Um...yeah. How long have I been out?" Kairi asked as the nurse began to check her over.
"You've been awake for a few days now." The nurse replied as she hooked her up to a blood pressure machine. "But it's only been for an hour at most. And you haven't been alert or responsive at all." The nurse marked down all of the numbers on the clipboard as she continued to explain. "We can only assume it was caused by the severe trauma of seeing your parents die. To have them eaten by Ghouls in front of you, must have been terrible." She shook her head as she walked out of the room.
Uta watched Kairi carefully, she didn't seem to remember what the nurse was talking about. "What do you remember?"
Kairi frowned as she stared at her lap, her hand slowly drifting to her shoulder. "I just got out of the hospital. You bit me so you could get away."
"Which you suggested." Uta pointed out, causing Kairi to giggle a bit. "What else?"
"Um..." Kairi tried to think, but nothing was coming. "I think we were having meatloaf, or was it left overs. Everything's blurry." She held her head as a slight headache developed on the side of her head. "I can't remember my parent's names. I don't even remember what they sounded like."
Uta reached a hand out to comfort Kairi. "Kairi-chan?" He pulled his hand back as a pair of investigators walked into the hospital room. "It's good to see you're awake. Do you remember me? Your father trained me a few years back. You used to call me-"
"Ta-kun." Kairi finished for him. "I remember. You used to make cookies for my dad on his birthday. How can I help you?"
"We have some things we need to talk to you about, concerning your parent's deaths." Kairi nodded at the grave tone the man had switched to. "If we could have some privacy?"
"Sure." Uta gave Kairi a small smile as he got up form his chair. "I'm going to get some coffee. You want some?" He asked to everyone in the room, they all declined. "I'll be back soon." He laid a hand on Kairi's shoulder before he left the room.
Kairi watched as Uta left, a sinking feeling growing in the pit of her stomach. "So what do we need to talk about?"
"Your parent's wills." Ta-kun held up two folders. "We thought we would go over them with you."
"Sure." Kairi nodded as the two investigators took seats, this was going to be a long discussion.
After almost 5 hours of talking, the nurse told the two investigators that visiting hours was over. "Excuse me?" Kairi asked the nurse as she removed her IVs. "A friend of mine was waiting for us to finish, was he still waiting when you came by?"
The nurse shook her head. "There was no one waiting. Do you mean the blond haired young man with the strange glasses?" Kairi nodded at the nurse's description. "I saw him go to the cafeteria, but he never came back out. He might have left through the side door."
"Oh." Kairi stated saddly, Uta had just left. But she also understood, he was leader of 4th ward, so he probably had things to do. She sat in her bed as the nurse left the room and shut the door. A knock at her window drew her attention, the bird mask gave away the knocker. "Yomo-kun?" Kairi ran over to the window and opened the patio door beside it. "Yomo-kun, what are you doing here?"
Yomo walked into the room and took his mask off as he looked around. "I came to get Uta, he's been gone all day."
Kairi frowned remembering what the nurse had said. "Uta left almost 5 hours ago. A pair of Doves-" Kairi stopped remembering the looks the two had been giving Uta. "Oh god. Uta got caught!" She saw Yomo's jaw clench as he looked away, silently cursing. "We have to get him back."
"We can't." Yomo said looking down at Kairi. "Once the CCG catches someone, their as good as de-" A loud smack resonated around the sparse room.
Kairi glared up at Yomo. "Don't you say that." Her hands clenched into a fist as she glared up at the Ghoul in front of her. "That may have been the case with Ghouls trying to rescue other Ghouls, but I am not a Ghoul. So help me get Uta back."
Yomo rubbed his reddening cheek. "You could have just said so in the first place."
"But then I wouldn't have gotten to slap you." Kairi gave the silver haired Ghoul a smile. "Now then, where's my mask?"
Kairi followed Yomo up to the roof of the building. "You sure this is the one?" She asked as they came up to an air vent.
"Yep." Yomo pulled the grate off and set it down. "Remember, we've got ten minutes to get Uta out once the alarm goes off. After that the others won't be able to hold their own." He helped Kairi climb into the vent before following after her.
Kairi adjusted the briefcase on her back as she crawled through the vent. They came up to a cross road and she took a left. "Left, right, straight, straight, left, straight, fourth cover on the right." She whispers to herself as she took the next right. They kept going till they came up to a red grid blocking their way. "Ghoul detector."
"That wasn't in the plan." Yomo hissed as he looked around Kairi to see the problem.
"Well it's in the plan now." Kairi laid down flat in the vent. "Take the Quinque off, it'll set off the alarm."
Yomo frowned as he unclipped the brief case form her back. "What are you going to do?"
"Improvise." Kairi said as she moved towards the grid. She poked it and smiled as nothing happened. She crawled through it and looked back at Yomo. "I'll see if I can find an access panel." She continued down the path, following the pattern she had memorized. There wasn't any access panel to be found, but she found the vent. "Might as well." She shrugged as she pulled the vent off and set it down beside her. She crawled out of the vent and smiled as she found herself in an electrical room. "Time for some improvising."
Kairi cracked her knuckles before looking around to find what she was looking for. She found the power panel to the security system and looked around till she found the one linked to the air vents. She flipped the switch and waited to see if Yomo had stuck around. She was rewarded when Yomo climbed out of the vent 5 minutes later. "Nice job. Turn it back on so they think it was just a reset." She did just that as Yomo replaced the vent cover.
Kairi took the case back from Yomo and slung it on her back again. They snuck out of the room and down the halls till they came to a large door. Written in large block letter read 'DANGER: GHOULS INSIDE!' The two shared a snicker as they hid around a corner.
Yomo pulled out a transmitter and pushed the button. After a few moments an alarm sounded. The two stayed still as officers and other personnel ran past them. They were either heading for the front gate or for a safe room. But the two of them were heading for the danger zone.
They ran up to the door and tried opening, but the system was on lockdown and the door was far to large. "We don't have time for this." Kairi pulled the Quinque off of her back by the handle and activated it. She swung it at the door several times, slicing through the metal like it was butter. Yomo pushed the broken door in, letting the loud bang alert everyone inside of their entrance. "Let's go."
Yomo gripped her forearm. "Be careful. Other Ghouls might not be as friendly." He warned her as they set foot inside of the area. The walls were all metal, the only opening in each cell were bars at the top of the doors. "Uta! Where are ya you bastard?" Yomo called out, hoping he would hear him.
They didn't hear anything in response. Kairi gripped her Quinque and growled as she swung at a door, slicing through the lock. She yanked the door open and looked inside. She found a man with bandages over one of his eyes. "Nope." Kairi said before moving on to the next cell.
Yomo watched as Kairi cut through doors as quickly as she could. He noticed a few of the incarcerated Ghouls peek out of the cell and look around. It was almost as if they had been trained not to leave their cells. "Kairi, cut through them all. We're breaking everyone out!" He called out as Kairi let out a cry as she began cutting through the doors, but leaving them closed. Now the Ghouls were moving.
Kairi cut through doors on her left then spinning around to cut the one opposite to it. But no matter how many she had cut, none of them were Uta. When she reached the end she let out a frustrated yell, he wasn't here. She followed the crowd of Ghouls back to Yomo. "He's not here."
"You looking for the blond guy they brought today?" The two looked over to see the one eyed man from the first cell. "They took him up to extraction earlier. But with the lockdown they will have stopped for now."
"Extraction." Kairi whispered as she gripped the Quinque in her hand. "What floor is it on?"
"Go up those stairs and it will be one of those doors. There are 5 operating room." The man pointed to a set of stairs behind the two. "Hope your friend is alright."
Kairi gave the man a smile. "Thank you!" She called out as they ran up the stairs.
"Kairi, we're out of time." Yomo said as they reached the top of the stairs. "We can't stay."
Kairi looked through the doors to see if she could see Uta in any of them. "You can go, I'm not leaving without Uta. Besides, with the Ghouls on the loose we have at least 5 minutes. And that's if the investigators here can contain the Ghouls. If not it will be another 15 before reinforcements arrive from the nearest ward." She pulled at a door, but found it locked. "I hate locks."
Yomo kicked the door in with his hands in his pockets. "I hate them too." They walked into the well lit room. No human's were present, but there was someone very heavily chained down to a table. "Uta, you look like shit."
Kairi ran up to the table and smiled as she saw Uta just chained to the table. No blood was to be found. "Looks like we made it in time." She quickly cut through the chains as Yomo tried to pick them. They were too hard for him to break. "Allow me." She said as she waited for him to move back so she could just cut through it.
Uta sat up and stretched. "They've had me chained down for hours. And all they were doing was talking." Uta whined as he took his mask from Yomo. "They know my face now. A mask won't stop them from finding me."
"Then we change some things." Kairi suggested as she put the Quinque away. "Let's go, this place gives me the creeps."
"It gives you the creeps?" Uta asked as he followed the two out of the operating room. "You don't even have a kagune for them to extract. How would it-" He stopped when Yomo hit him over the head. "What was that for?"
"Her friend had her kagune removed." Yomo stated, remembering the first time they met Kairi. "Who knows where it is now." They lapped into silence as they continued running.
"I don't remember here." Kairi said as they came to a large window. "Did we come this way?"
"No, I don't recognize it." Yomo stated as he looked out of the window. "I can see the front gate, they're cleaning up."
Uta looked outside and tilted his head. "So, how are we getting out?" He asked as he looked at his two rescuers.
Kairi shrugged. "Walk out the front gate?" She noticed her two friends look at her with skepticism. "What?"
"Kairi, we could probably do that, but we are Ghouls." Yomo stated while pointing to him and Uta. "They will kill you."
"They use bullets that can kill you." Kairi pointed out while putting her hands on her hips. "Besides, we have the other Ghouls as well." Another alarm sounded in the building. "And it looks like they just found out about the break out. Let's go!"
"When did she become the leader?" Uta asked as they followed behind the human girl. Yomo just gave him a shrug as they continued to run down halls. They came to a stop when they heard the sound of fighting. They all peaked around the corner, there was a group of people fighting an investigator. "How do we get past him?"
"Easily." Kairi smirked as she placed a hand on her Quinque. "Time to show them that the Scarlet Fang isn't missing." She ran around the corner and pulled her Quinque off of her back. "Move!" She shouted as she swung. Her scythe clanged against the investigator's sword. "That goes double for you." She reversed the grip on her weapon and knocked his quinque away from his body.
Yomo easily slipped between the two and thrust his hand into the investigator's heart. He let the corpse fall to the ground before looking at Kairi. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were suicidal."
"Or a Ghoul." Uta commented as he walked past them and placed a hand on the door. "Now to get this thing open." His kagune slid from his back and curled around his upper body. He cut a hole through the thick metal door before kicking it outside. "Now we just need to get past the gate."
"Not too hard." Kairi commented while looking at the short distance. "We just have multiple officers armed to the teeth with guns to avoid."
"Piece of cake." Yomo commented. "If you can run as fast as a Ghoul that is." He gave Kairi a wink.
Uta rolled his eyes behind his mask before he picked Kairi up. "Don't you dare stab me with that." He commented as he secured her over his shoulder. "Let's go!" He shouted as he ran out of the doors and towards the gate. He easily avoided the bullets and reached the gate in under 10 seconds. He jumped over the gate in one leap and continued on into the night.
Kairi watched with a smile as the building grew smaller behind them. There were quite a few Ghouls following them. "Thank you." She looked at the back of Uta's head. She was sure she had heard him, but doubted he would ever tell it to her face. So she just smiled and warched the night go by.
Kairi waited by the front desk of the hospital patiently. It had been two days since she had woken up and broken Uta out of the CCG extraction facility, that was enough time in a hospital for her. Right now she was just waiting for the bill.
"Here it is." The nurse smiled as she handed the bill to Kairi. "The CCG covered every expense."
Kairi frowned as she looked at the bill. It was true she was fully insured since both of her parents were investigators, but why was she still being covered. "Did they say why?"
"Something about benefits for families." The nurse said before she left and went back to work.
Kairi shrugged as she stored the bill in her purse and walked out of the hospital. She began walking down the road to her house, since she didn't have the car at the hospital. It only took four blocks before she had two people walking beside her. "Were you both waiting?" She giggled as Uta and Yomo shrugged in response.
"Did they suspect anything?" Uta asked as he pulled his hood further over his face. They had dyed his hair black, but apparently people could still recognize him.
"Nope." Kairi shook her head with a smirk. "But they were very hesitant to tell me that a Ghoul was in position of my father's Quinque. And apparently her name is The Black Widow." She giggled thinking of herself as a Ghoul vigilante. "Although they were very persistent in telling me you were the dreaded No-Face Ghoul. Saying I was lucky you never got the chance to eat me."
The three laughed as they walked down the road. They stopped once they were in front of Kairi's house. Yomo could see the hesitation on Kairi's face. "They've cleaned it up. You can't even tell-"
"-that they ever lived here?" Kairi interrupted. "You don't have to tiptoe around it. My parents died in this house. I watched them die. But I don't remember it. All I know is what I've been told." She pushed open the gate with a sigh. "Want to come inside? I've never come home to an empty house."
Uta walked past Kairi with his hands in his pocket. "About time. How long have we been friends?" He joked with her.
Kairi followed the two into the empty house. "Maybe I could get a small apartment?" She thought as she looked around at all of the empty space. "It's not like I need all of this."
"Maybe I'll come visit." Uta stated as he walked into the kitchen. "You got coffee? Yomo, make coffee."
"I make coffee all day, I'm not making coffee in my free time." Yomo growled as he followed Uta into the kitchen.
Kairi followed after them. "Uta-kun, what do you mean come visit? Are you leaving 4th ward?" She noticed the two of them share a look. "What are you two keeping a secret?"
"4th ward is about to become uninhabitable for us Ghouls." Yomo stated while he leaned on the counter behind him. "We've already given out an evacuation advisement to the Ghouls in the area."
"And I've stated that I am leaving." Uta pulled out three mugs and set them down.
"But you're the leader. What will happen when you leave?" Kairi opened a cabinet and pulled out a hot water heater.
Uta reached around and took the water heater form Kairi. "Someone else will take over." He filled the heater with water and turned it on. "So where's the coffee?"
Kairi chuckled as she walked across the kitchen and pulled a cabinet open. She squeaked as a package of coffee fell down at her. Yomo caught the package before it hit Kairi. "Still jumpy?" He commented as he brought the coffee over to the counter to portion some out into each mug.
Kairi laughed nervously as she scratched the back of her head. "A bit I guess." She leaned back on the counter as silence settled between the three. "I need to bake."
"Bake?" Uta asked as Kairi began walking around the kitchen gathering ingredients. "What are you gonna make?"
"I don't know." Kairi frowned as she looked around at all of the ingredients she had. "I wish I could make something you two could eat as well."
"Unless you use human flesh, that isn't going to happen." Yomo commented trying to imagine what it would be like to eat human food that didn't taste terrible. "And I don't think you're about to become a cannibal for our sakes."
Kairi paused for a moment. "I think you're on to something." She laughed as her friends stared at her with a mixture of worry and disbelief. "It's going to take some time, but I think I can pull it off. Maybe I can even open a cafe?"
Uta shook his head as Kairi continued gathering ingredients. "You're crazy." The three of them laughed as they spent the night just hanging out.
Long freakin chapter. So, there are going to be a lot of things that i am going to be inventing. Because this is a fanfiction and also because the information just does not exist. Like what happened in 4th ward. Or how old anybody but the main characters are. And yes, Scarlet Fang is basically Ruby's scythe from RWBY. Because that weapon is awesome.
Let me know what you think of the story. And warning, not all of the chapters are going to be this long(or short if this ends up being the shortest chapter other than the intro chapter). But please enjoy.
