Hey everyone, how's it going, I've got another chapter! Also I wanna say thanks too my first reviewer, Bob is Life, thanks for your review I'm really glad you like my story, I do try. If you have any questions, please post a review asking them, I would love to answer! Anyway, I'm sure I've gone on long enough, shall we begin?

(Note: There is some blood and guts in this chapter.)

The rabbit masked ghoul charged Victor, flapping his wing-like kagune sending gusts of wind. It was an attempt to through Victor of balance. The ghoul flipped through the air deftly, as his kagune crystallized, sending a rain of spikes down at Victor which he barely dodged. The ghoul then lashed out sending down a barrage of kicks, followed by a deftly placed strike from his kagune. Victor backflipped out of the way and cycled into a kick aimed for his opponents head. But the black rabbit masked ghoul dodged.

The ghoul ducked back and rained more spikes down on Victor, forcing him to zigzag left and right. Victor hunkered back, taking a moment to observe the ghouls. His shoulders were slumping far more than they had been at the start of the fight and he was breathing heavily. He doesn't have all that much stamina. The girl was still standing on the roof but she seemed to be thinking. Victor stood up and dusted himself off.

"What the hell are you?" Ask the Black Rabbit, as he launched another attack. Victor ducked to the side and brought up his shin, knocking Rabbit off his trajectory and into a pile of crates.

"What do you mean?" Ask Victor.

"How can you fight like that without even using your kagune?" The black rabbit ask as he stumbled to his feet. Victor looked at the ground and smiled an innocent child smile.

"There's a lot of bad people, a guy's gotta do something to get an advantage," He said, "I'm done toying with you Rabbit, let's make this more interesting," Victor took off his cloak, which at this point hung in tatters around him.

The ghoul known as Yotsume, aka Hinami Fueguchi, watched as the Ayato duked it out with Zombie. She growled in frustration at Ayato, who had told her not to interfere. She could tell her friend was getting tired and she was scared he might lose. Zombie hadn't even activated his kagune, the was no telling what could happen to Ayato once he did.

He raced forward one another frontal assault, but Yotsume had known Ayato long enough to know it was a last ditch attack, he was at his breaking point. Zombie had outlasted him. The kid ducked down and darted to the side, knocking Ayato off course and into some crates. Zombie took off his ragged cloak and turned to face Ayato, who was only just able to stand back up.

For a second Yotsume would have sworn Zombie had caught of fire, a black blaze erupted from the bottom of his spine and laced its way through the air. Black fire. It was his kagune. He is going to kill Ayato! A voice in the back of her mind said. Yotsume lashed out with her long spine-like kagune, cleaving a surprised Zombie in two.

"Ayato! Are you okay?!" She called to her friend. Ayato took off his mask a grumbled something under his breath.

"That's Yotsume, now I can make this little punk pay for that," Ayato bent down and grabbed Zombie's throat.

"Wha-what are you going to do, cannibalize him?" Yotsume ask unsurly.

"That's exactly what I'm gonna do, this bastard deserves what's coming to him," Ayato reared his head back in preparation to start his personal feast. Yotsume turned away, she was still uneasy around cannibalism.

Then there was a crack of a flesh on flesh, and a sound of Ayato's scream slowly dying into a painful gurgle. Yotsume turned back around to see a most gruesome sight. Zombie's fist had gone in Ayato's mouth and out the back of his throat. Both halves of zombie were starting to move on their own and a black fire lanced out from the torso and reconnected the two parts, pulling them together. It reminded her of Noro's power.

"If you're going to eat me, why don't you start with this," Zombie spat, before throwing the bloody Ayato the full length of the yard, causing him to slam into the fence. He looked up at Yotsume, who still had her kagune out. "I must say, it's been a while since I was chopped in two, miss," He said with a forced smirk. Yotsume took a step back and prepared to defend.

Zombie jumped, using his kagune to propel himself up to the roof. He landed deftly, right next to Yotsume. But he simply smiled again, this time more genuinely. His kagune even retracted.

"Miss Fueguchi I presume?" He ask, giving a comically formal bow. Yotsume lashed out with her kagune, but Zombie simply smiled and caught it effortlessly in his hand. She lashed out with her other kagune and he caught it too. "Sorry, but you caught me off guard last time, it won't happen again," He pulled Yotsume too him and grabbed her arm, despite being smaller than her he was able to keep her under control no problem. Now that she was close enough to smell him properly she almost gagged.

"You smell like a corpse," She muttered. Zombie simply smiled and dragged her to the edge of the warehouse before jumping the small gap to the next one. "I see why they called you Zombie," Zombie set her down and smiled again, his stupid innocent twelve year old smile, it was only slightly ruined by the various scars that criss-crossed his face.

"Is that what they are calling me?" He ask. Yotsume nodded. "Well, my name is Victor,"

"Why?" She ask. Zom- Victor looked confused for a second.

"Why, what?"

"Why are you being so buddy buddy with me, after you killed Ayato!?" She demanded.

"Oh, no worries, Miss Fueguchi, he may not heal as fast as me, but he still heals, he won't be dying there. Though I assume he will be pretty pissed off," He said, "Also, as for me being 'buddy buddy' with you, it's very simple, I need someone who knows where the Aogiri HQ, and your friend, Ayato, didn't seem the most agreeable," He reached and pulled a slip of paper out of his pocket, it had words written in english. "The person from The Aogiri Tree I was originally trying to seek out was you,"

From far off a small female figure wrapped in bandages smiled,

"Looks like we've got an unexpected piece in this little game of chess, I wonder what his goal is," From behind her another figure in a white cloak and red mask sighed.

"Should I send someone to pick up that buffoon, Rabbit?" He ask. But the bandaged woman chuckled.

"Don't worry Tatara, I already took care of it…"
