I've got nothing to say this time.. Enjoy!
This is how it all happened...
In the 20th ward February 14th, a new human being was born from Akemi and Doctor Toshi Kazuya. The girl had blonde hair along with blue eyes.
She had started wiggling around in her mother's warm embrace, as she looked into her daughter's eyes. The child started crying.
''You don't have to cry, you're safe. Mama's here'' Akemi said, as she kissed her forehead. The crying had instantly stopped.
Sometime later Toshi had to examine his new born child, but before he could finish she already started crying again. Her mother then came into the room.
''Shhh, it's okay, you don't have to cry anymore.'' She said as she stroked her cheek. The crying had stopped again.
''I don't know why...'' Toshi said to Akemi.
''Well, look at your giant beard, I would be scared too'' she said, trying to tease him.
''Ha ha ha. This is my manliness, my 'MANE' '' he said as he put his fist in the air with his chest held high.
''I guess men don't grow up mentally, no matter how old they get'' she said, and smiled slightly.
A few hours later the door opened and Toshi walked into the room. The first thing he heard was his daughter making all kinds of cute noises.
''She's our little treasure'' he said as he stood behind his wife, embracing both of them.
She was such an obedient child. Thus they gave her the name Junko. Meaning obedient (Jun), child (Ko).
''Yeah… she looks so adorable'' she replied while playing with her child's small hand.
Junko started smiling, she looked so happy and felt so safe.
It had put a smile on both of their faces, admiring their beautiful, innocent daughter. Everyone was happy. But all things, whether it be happiness, grief, hate… Sooner or later, it all must come to an end.
3 years have passed, and Toshi was working somewhere else for the moment, while Akemi and Junko were walking home after they bought groceries from a supermarket. Akemi was carrying two bags, she also bought a ball for her daughter to play with. Junko was very fond of her new toy which her mother gave to her. She was playing with it while walking home. After a few minutes of walking they came across a pedestrian crossing. She continued walking past it.
She heard continuous bouncing from the ball, but the sound grew more distant with each bounce.
''Ball, come back''
Akemi feared the worst and simply didn't want to believe it. She hoped that Junko was still following her but to make sure, she turned around. She was wrong. Junko had chased the ball which was blown to the middle of the road by a fierce and sudden wind. A speeding car then came out of nowhere, not stopping in front of the child. She dropped the bags filled with groceries and ran towards her daughter. Junko had just noticed the car, heading her direction. The child froze, she couldn't call out for help, she couldn't scream nor move.
''JUNKO!''
She heard her mother shouting her name in a panicked tone. Junko closed her eyes, as the speeding car came closer and closer. Before the impact, a gentle hand had pushed her away. Junko then heard a loud bang.
Opening her eyes, Junko looks around as she sits across the street. She managed to get a glimpse of the driver's face, who had a V-shaped scar on his left cheek. The car then continued to speed through like nothing happened, eventually disappearing from the scene.
People then started gathering around the pedestrian crossing.
''Oh my…''
With a confused look, she slowly walks towards where the people have gathered in a circle.
''Mamma…? Where are y-'' she broke her sentence as she saw her mother lying on the ground, covered in blood. Her mother had pushed her to safety, risking her own life in order to prolong the life of her daughter.
''Mamma….?'' She fell to her knees and started shaking her mother's body.
''Wake up Mamma… Mamma….'' Her eyes started to fill with tears.
''Poor kid'' a stranger said.
''Someone get her away, she's way too young'' someone said.
''Jun…ko… I-I'm glad… you're… safe…'' as she slowly lifted up her hand to wipe away her daughter's tears. The people were surprised she was still alive.
One of the strangers quickly grabbed his phone and rang the ambulance.
''Mamma… let's go home… please…'' Junko's eyes were filled with sadness as she witnessed her mother's final moments.
''Don't… cry… be a good… girl… … ok?'' she strokes her daughter's cheek to calm her down.
This feeling was just like when she was born. It was warm and gentle, she felt at ease, knowing she was safe.
''No, mamma! Don't leave me…. PLEASE!''
''I'll… always… love you…'' Akemi smiled as her eyes started to fill up with tears. Her vision of her daughter slowly started to fade as her eyes were closing, until she saw complete darkness. Her hand fell to the ground, leaving Junko all by herself.
''Mamma…? Mamma…?'' Junko shook her body.
Akemi Kazuya had died that day. Toshi later was informed by the hospital. The ambulance had taken Junko to the hospital as well.
A few minutes later he came barging into the building, asking the reception about his daughter's condition and in which room she was in. He ran as quickly as he could until he arrived in front of the door. Toshi opened the door to where his daughter was in, and he was relieved that Junko only had minor injuries. Toshi could see that Junko was in shock of what had happened. She was constantly looking at the wall as if she'd seen a ghost, not responding or paying any attention to her father who came in the room.
Later that night they went home. He had stuffed her in bed and went downstairs. She could hear him punch the wall multiple times, tossing and breaking stuff.
13 years have passed. Junko grew up to be the best student in her entire school, she also became the Student Council President. She had matured so much, her long blonde hair along with bangs on the side of her face, and her bright blue eyes just made her stunning. Not to mention she had become taller than most girls, around 170cm.
Frexzz: Yes, that's tall for a girl. The majority of Asians are short, ok?! With a few exceptions like me, 183cm being quite tall for an Asian guy. But let's get back to the story lmao xd.
She is always cheerful, caring and friendly, despite growing up without her mother's love. Junko noticed that something happened to her father, but she decided to ignore it. She was sure he would become his normal self again in time.
Toshi had been working as a doctor before he met Akemi, he always was the kind doctor. That was until he met a so called doctor Kanou.
This odd doctor had always been watching Toshi. It was almost a coincidence that he asked him to assist him in his experiment. Toshi accepted, wanting to hear more about this 'Creating The Perfect Artificial Ghoul' experiment. But Junko had no care in the world about this. It was the perfect counter against the ghoul infestation, approved by CCG, at least according to Kanou.
At first he thought that this was another mad doctor, talking bullshit and whatnot. But he promised to Toshi that this will be a great success.
The two doctors now only needed test subjects.
Over the course of a month, Kanou and Toshi had already failed with 3 experiments.
''I don't think this is working out Doctor Kanou, maybe this is impossible after all''
''Nonsense. Those experiments of ours were a failure not because we did something wrong. It was them, their Rc levels were too low to handle the outcome. We must choose our victims or should I say… 'volunteers' carefully next time.''
''I see. So in order for us to make this a success, we need someone with a higher Rc level than the average human being.'' Toshi stated.
Kanou started walking around in circles, trying to come up with an idea.
''Then we'll just have to run through the CCG's registry and find ourselves a suitable… volunteer.'' Kanou said as his smile grew sinister.
After a few months of gathering intel they finally got someone to start their twisted experiment on. His name was Junichi Takashi. A second class investigator. They chose this specific individual because this person loves to get wasted on his days off. It was perfect.
The only thing they had to do now was to make contact with this person and 'befriend' him.
''Doctor Kazuya, I need you to find this investigator and offer him a drink. Since we can't risk him slipping out of our grasp, I'm going to 'speed up' the process'' he opened his drawer and gave Toshi one of the pills inside it.
''Ah, a genius idea indeed. I see you are very excited to get started, Doctor Kanou'' while Toshi took the pill and placed it in a small holder, which he put in his pocket.
''But of course! Now, if things do go sideways, make him walk with you into an alleyway and inject him with this drug. Of course I will be having people watching you two, they will come to your aid when you either, succeed or fail'' He said.
''Then I better get going'' Toshi said as he walked out of the laboratory. He got into his car and left to his destination. He arrived at the building after 20 minutes of driving. It was 14:35.
''According to our intel, he won't be coming out before 15:05''
Toshi then went to the nearest shop and bought himself a cup of coffee, which he needed in order to make contact with him.
10 minutes later, Toshi was sitting on a bench, waiting for the investigator to leave CCG's department.
After a few minutes, he saw the investigator exiting the building. He made his move. Toshi took the cup of coffee with him and started walking towards his target. 'Accidently' bumping into him, splashing his target's business suit with coffee.
''Oh, I am very sorry. I was spacing out, I am so sorry, sir'' Toshi said, closing his eyes and giving the investigator continuously short bows.
''No, no. I guess I am too excited to have a week of vacation. Haha'' as he rubbed the back of his head.
''Allow me to make up for it Mr…?''
''Takashi. Junichi Takashi''
''Pleasure to meet you. My name is Toshi Kazuya. So… Mr Takashi, allow me to make up for what I did to you, by taking you out for a drink. How does that sound?''
''I was planning to go get a drink anyway, yeah I guess, yes mhm'' he said as he started to look excited, not noticing the smirk on his face.
After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at a bar.
''Anything's on me today, Mr Takashi.''
''You're the best thing that has happened to me this week'' as he ordered a large bottle of whiskey.
''Haha, I'd like to think so Mr Takashi'' giving him a friendly smile.
It was all going according to plan, the only thing Toshi had to do now was to put the pill in the investigator his drink.
''This won't be easy. I have to wait for an opportunity'' he thought to himself as he sipped some from his own drink.
Suddenly a phone rang. It came out of Takashi's pocket.
''Oh, who is calling me at such time? I am sorry, let me just deal with this phone call really quick'' as he walked out of the bar, leaving his briefcase inside.
''This is perfect'' Toshi thought to himself. He took this chance, Toshi looked around to make sure nobody was looking, and slipped the small pill into the investigator's drink. The pill started to slowly dissolve. He then started stirring to make sure it would take effect the second he takes a gulp.
A few minutes later the investigator returned.
''I am sorry. Something I had to discuss'' he said, as he sat back down.
''No worries. I think we are going to get along just fine Mr Takashi'' Toshi said as he raised his drink to him.
''I do think so myself, Mr Kazuya'' raising his own drink to Toshi's.
The investigator started drinking from the drugged wineglass. Seconds later he started to feel drowsy, his vision of Toshi was blurred and only moments later he lost conscious. The glass fell from his hand and broke on the floor, which made a noise loud enough for the bartender to show up.
''What happened?'' The bartender asked Toshi
''I am very sorry. My friend had a long day and he must've been exhausted. I'll pay for the broken glass. So please, beg my friend pardon'' Toshi said as he stood up and bowed in front of the bartender.
''Next time, don't bring him here if he's exhausted. Bad for his health, haha'' he gave Toshi a smile.
After he had paid for the drinks they had, and the broken glass, Toshi got up. Not trying to raise suspicion, he walked over to the investigator and grabbed one of his arms and put it around his neck.
''Come on… Mr. Takashi, let's get you home'' Toshi said.
When they came out of the bar he noticed that 3 men were keeping a close eye on them. Each one of them was wearing the exact same outfit. A long black trench-coat, black pants, black shoes and black sunglasses.
''These must be my back-up then'' Toshi thought to himself.
One of them approached Toshi.
''Good job, Doctor Kazuya. We have arranged a van for your extraction, since we don't see your car around. We'll take it from here''
''Wait here. I'll go get his briefcase'' Toshi said.
They took the investigator from him and opened the van. In the meanwhile, one of the three started tying him up.
Not much later he returned with the investigator's briefcase.
''Doctor Kazuya, hop in the back of the van along with our target. There is no time to waste''
He jumped into the back of the van like they said, and closed the doors.
After 20 minutes of driving they had arrived at their destination, Kanou's laboratory.
The van's door opened and one of the trio picked up the investigator and started carrying him on his shoulder. Toshi stepped out of the vehicle and followed, leaving the briefcase in the van.
They soon arrive in the operation room.
''Good good, just put him here'' Kanou said, sounding very excited.
The one carrying the test subject put him down onto the grey operating table, then they started to leave the two doctors one by one.
The metal door closed behind the trio, leaving the two doctors in a brightly lit room.
Kanou started to strap the unconscious investigator's hands and feet to the cold metal frames. Toshi then collected all necessary tools for this operation. Both doctors wasted no time and immediately started.
After a few hours had passed they successfully transplanted a kakuhou from an A rank ghoul, into the investigator. One of Kanou's guards came into the room and took him into a cell. 3 hours later the man woke up.
''Where am I…?'' he got up and rubbed his eyes. The investigator was looking around, it looked like an old cell chamber. It was very dark, as the only light source available in there was a small lightbulb near the metal door in front of his cell.
Suddenly he heard a metal door squeak open, light that came from outside the door slipped through his fingers as he tried to block it with his hand. He saw a silhouette of a man entering the room. Footsteps grew closer and closer, echoing in the empty chamber. Silence took over and a man in a lab coat now stood in front of his cell.
''Who are you? Where am I?'' He said, as he was getting nervous and asked impatiently why he woke up in a cell with no shirt.
The man stood in front of the light, making it hard to see his face.
''I want to thank you so much for 'volunteering' in my little experiment. It's all thanks to you, Mr Takashi. THANKS TO YOU, my experiment has become… a SUCCESS'' as he started laughing maniacally. He turned away and turned on the light switch. The room was instantly lit up.
The doctor then walked back to the occupied cell.
''WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!'' he grabbed the doctor through the iron bars. The doctor kept laughing.
''Not much really. I simply made a few… 'adjustments'. To put it simply, you are now… '' he paused and took a hand mirror out of his lab coat and let the investigator see his own face in his reflection.
''a half ghoul'' finishing his sentence.
In his own reflection, he saw that his right eye was now the same as a ghoul's eye. In shock, he let the doctor go and fell to his knees.
Kanou started to walk away from the cell that contained the half ghoul.
''Even though we succeeded, you're far from PERFECT, Mr. Takashi. I will continue my experiments, but this time, I will make sure it will become PERFECT'' the twisted doctor's smile turned evil.
''You're a monster! You won't get away with this!'' as he grabbed the iron bars tightly.
''Don't bother escaping. We have already drugged you with Rc suppressants, you won't be able to get out of here until WE… SAY… SO!''
The Doctor then left him all alone as he disappeared into the dark.
After hours of being in a cell, the half ghoul started to go crazy. They had not been feeding him anything. He started becoming restless as his hunger grew and grew. Kanou walked into the room. Something was not right. He started to sniff in the air, something caught his attention.
''Something smells delicious'' he thought to himself as he started drooling.
''Mr. Takashi, it's feeding time'' the doctor then grabbed a girl who stood behind the door.
She was tied up and gagged, she looked around as fear filled her eyes. His eyes widened and started to tackle against the iron bars. His kakugan was blood red, glowing in the dark.
''Oh my, you seem hungry. Go ahead, she is all YOURS!''
Kanou threw the girl towards the cell. She was grabbed by the half ghoul and felt intense pain in her neck. He had taken a bite out of her. She could not resist as she was being held tightly by the half ghoul's immense strength, he took another bite and blood spilled all over his face. She slowly lost conscious as she was being eaten alive. Blood dripped from her body onto the floor, as he tore through her flesh, ripping it open and started devouring her from the inside out. He could not stop himself as he continued to satisfy his hunger. Licking the blood off his fingers.
Realizing what he had done he suddenly jumped back. His body was shaking while he looked at his hands, stained with innocent blood.
''NOOO! What have I done?'' punching the wall.
Toshi didn't bother to wait for Takashi to wake up after the experiment. He exited Kanou's laboratory, took a cab to his car and drove back home.
It was already 19:30 when he arrived. He gently twisted the doorknob and noticed it was still locked. Meaning that Junko wasn't home yet. He took his house key out of his pocket and unlocked the front door. He took off his shoes and walked into the kitchen to only see a note that was stuck on the fridge.
''You are late dad, I already made you dinner. I forgot a few books at school. I'll be back before 20:25. Love you 3. Dinner's in the fridge, you'll have to heat it up c: - Junko''
Toshi sighed. He opened the fridge and took out the spaghetti and sauce his daughter made. After he closed the refrigerator he took a closer look to the note, and saw that the bottom part of the paper was folded. Toshi unfolded it and read the following.
''P.S! Wash your hands before you eat C: !''
He bursts into a laugh.
''I'll do that, ma'm''
After he'd eaten he made a note, and put it in the exact same place he found hers.
''Ha ha ha, very funny, Junko. I'm a doctor, I always wash mine'' he wrote.
He put his food in the microwave and heated it up. Toshi took out the spaghetti and sauce, sat down in front of the tv and watched a movie while eating his dinner.
After finishing his food he went upstairs, brushed his teeth, washed his face and went to bed.
He woke up the next morning and walked out of his room to the bathroom. Before opening the door, he noticed that there was a broken window in the hallway. Toshi started running up stairs to his daughter's room, which was on the 3rd floor. He barged in and saw that she was lying on the floor, covered in blood.
''No no no… How could this happen?'' he checked her for a pulse.
''NO… NO... NOOOOOO!''
Toshi woke up, his head was dripping with sweat as he was breathing heavily. He looked at his clock and saw that it was only 6:10 am.
''Was it all a dream?'' he whispered.
Toshi stood up, and walked outside of his room. The window in the hallway was still intact. He went downstairs and walked to the kitchen to see that the note he had put up was taken off the refrigerator. Still not convinced, Toshi then went upstairs to his daughter's room, and slowly opened the door. He peeked into his daughter's room, and saw her cocooned in her bed. He slowly closed the door so that she wouldn't wake up.
''I'll have to ask Doctor Kanou a favour today. I won't let anything happen to her. I already lost 2 people that meant the world to me... I will make sure I can't lose her too'' he thought to himself as he put on his business clothes and left the house.
