SUP?! Enjoy!

'''I'll have to ask Doctor Kanou for a favour today. I won't let anything happen to her. I already lost two people dear 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.

Junko had been woken up by the sound of her alarm, it was 7:10, class starts at 8:15. She turned lazily to the side and pushed the alarm's button. After a few minutes, she got up and sat on her bed, letting out a moan as she stretched herself out. Junko walked into the bathroom and locked the door. She took off her clothes and stepped into the shower, while she turned on the valve. Warm water started splashing onto her face and continued to wet her body. A quarter had passed, she changed into her second year's uniform. She looked at the time and noticed she has 20 minutes left before she has to leave for school.

She prepared two slices of bread, one with jam and one with peanut butter, as this was her favourite. Junko clamped them together, mixing the two flavours. Now holding the bread in her mouth, the girl ran upstairs and prepared the necessary books needed for today's classes. She grabbed her bag and sprinted off towards the exit of her house. With good time left, Junko slowed down her pace and started eating her bread. Because walking to school takes less than half an hour, she decided that she was safe to take it slow.

With school in her sight she looks at her watch, it was 8:05. Before entering the school building she saw a girl out of the corner of her eye, watching her from a distance. Junko took a closer look and she noticed they look very similar, they wore the same school uniforms as well. The only difference would be that Junko had longer hair than the girl she was gazing at.

''Junko, let's go!'' one of her classmates called out to her.

She averted her gaze from the strange girl, and looked at her friend.

''I'm coming!'' Junko replied.

Junko looked back but the girl was nowhere to be found. It was strange, if she had the same school uniform as her, how come Junko had never seen her before? Maybe it was because of her lack of awareness? She is kind of dense when it comes to paying attention in big areas, like in the canteen, or library. She collected her thoughts and shrugged it off.

After 7 hours of class, school was finally over. The bell rang and the students started to pour out of the building like an infestation. Junko always stayed an hour later after school ended not including meetings, it wasn't easy to be the class president. She would spend most of her time on her laptop, arranging plans for upcoming events and whatnot. On top of that she has to attend to the student council meeting, which would probably take another 30 minutes to an hour, depending on what they have to discuss.

It was now 17:04, Junko was tired but at last the meeting was over. She went upstairs to fetch her notebook that she forgot in her classroom. She opened the door to her class and saw her again. It was the strange girl that looks just like her, only with minor differences. She was standing in the corner of the class.

''Who are you? I saw you this morning but you disappeared. Do I know you? What are you doing here?'' Junko asked her.

''They didn't tell you about me?'' The unknown girl questioned Junko as she moved her hand to her chest.

''I a-''

She got interrupted as a member of the student council tapped Junko on her shoulder.

''Kazuya, you forgot your bag, I went out of my way to bring it to you. Be grateful'' the female class president pouted at her.

''Nakahara, do you know who that person is over th-'' Junko cut off her sentence as she looked back to the girl's previous position.

However, the classroom was empty. Wind blew from the open window into the room, giving Junko a chill.

''Where'd she… Wait… was that window open…?'' Junko thought to herself, as she looked confused.

''Know who?'' she asked Junko.

''Never mind.'' Junko said, as she smiled off her confusion.

''You could at least thank me, you know. How did you even become the top student AND Studen Council President in this school when you have that kind of attitude?'' she crossed her arms.

''I… Nakahara. Do you know anyone on this school who looks like me? Except with shorter hair?'' She curiously asked.

''No… I don't. Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?'' she said while raising an eyebrow.

''N-nothing. Just, curiosity… that's all. Thank you for bringing my bag by the way.''

''Mhm, finally. No problem. I have to go, don't want to miss my train home. I'll see you next week!'' she waved as she ran downstairs.

Junko was confused. She thought that maybe she was just tired and started seeing things. Junko decided calm down and forget about it. She walked downstairs to the main entrance of the school. When she exited the area through the gates she heard a car honk. Looking over to where the honk came from she saw her father leaning on his car, motioning his head for her to get in the vehicle.

''Thanks for picking me up, I'm so tired today'' she leaned her head back, closing her eyes.

''Oh? Let me guess… another meeting?'' he looks at her through the rear-view mirror.

''Yeah… Hey dad… I think I'm crazy…''

''How come?'' he asked, while he raised an eyebrow as he redirected his vision back to the road.

''I haven't told this anyone yet… but today I saw someone who looks just like me… twice…'' she said, while she was still relaxing her body with her eyes closed.

Toshi's eyes widened. It was silent for a moment.

''That's a coincidence. Is she new or something?'' Toshi said.

''I have no idea. I've never seen her before… I think I'm just too tired and I started seeing things. She immediately disappeared whenever I cancel eye contact…''

A cold sweat dropped from Toshi's forehead.

''I guess you are too tired. It's a normal thing to start hallucinating when you are exhausted. Hey, I saw in the newspaper that you guys at school are gonna get some kind of upgrade'' Toshi said, as he tried to change the conversation.

''Oh, that... They're just constructing a swimming pool for educational purposes... Nothing interesting in my opinion'' Junko said.

''I see... It would be nice though to use it in the summer when the weather gets unbearable'' Toshi replied.

After roughly 20 minutes of driving the car stopped moving. Toshi turned around to see that Junko was fast asleep already. He grabbed a small syringe out of his pocket and looked at his daughter.

''This has to be done… I hope you understand…'' he stepped out of the car and opened Junko's door.

''Even if you will resent me… hate me… I'll accept everything... as long as it'll keep you alive. Forgive me…''

Toshi slightly started to cry, as he injected the tranquilizer into her left arm, making sure she would stay unconscious for at least another 3 to 4 hours. He takes off her seat-belt and picks Junko up, carrying her into the building, to the laboratory.

Earlier today (Flashback)

Kanou was experimenting as usual, looking through a microscope. Toshi walked into the room and stood behind Kanou.

''What is it Doctor Kazuya? I'm rather busy right now. Unless you've come to help me out I-''

''Can you help me protect my daughter, Doctor Kanou?''

Kanou's eyes widened as he lifted his head from the microscope.

''I have already lost my wife and someone else who was dear to me. I-I had this dream and it made me realize, that there is always a possibility that… I might lose her as well… So please. Help me make her… indestructible…'' He pleaded.

''Very well. I will need your cooperation again. Bring her in today and we'll see what we can do.''

End of Flashback

Not much later, the doors opened as Toshi walked into the laboratory with his daughter in his arms.

''I have already prepared all the necessary tools for this, but first… We must scan her RC level. Put her on this bed and I shall start the scan immediately'' Kanou said as he manoeuvred his way to the machine using his roller seat.

Toshi gently put his daughter on the bed and took a few steps back. Kanou then hit a button and let the machine do its work. The scanner slowly went back and forth before finally completing the scan. Kanou went back to the computer and took a look at the results. Speechless, he turns his head towards Toshi and gave him a smile.

''Looks like your daughter has a RC factor of an astonishing 474! That is quite impressive. She is special, I can feel it!'' Kanou said with excitement, as it was clearly written all over his face that he wanted to start right away.

''So… does that mean…'' Toshi said with relieve on his face.

''YES, doctor Kazuya. She will become possibly one of the strongest ghouls to ever walk this planet! But how are you going to deal with this? I doubt your daughter is going to be pleased after this'' he said and laughed.

''So be it, as long as it keeps her safe I will be willing to sacrifice anything, even if it means she will no longer love me…'' Toshi said as he looked at his unconscious daughter, lying on the bed.

''Very well. Kindly move your daughter to the operating table and I shall get the Kakuhou.''

Toshi moved Junko to the operation table and laid her down on her stomach, as he started marking the back around the waist of her body. Kanou quickly returned with his surgical mask and gloves on, along with a glass container which held the Kakuhou.

''Let us begin'' Kanou said as he got a scalpel and started the operation.

A few hours later they have successfully transplanted a Kakuhou of a Rinkaku type ghoul.

''I'd like to run her through the RC scanner again. I want to see how powerful she has become'' Toshi said to Kanou.

''Agreed, you may do as you please. I shall be gone for a few minutes myself, there's someone I have to check up on'' Kanou said as he walked out of the laboratory.

Toshi lifted Junko up, and laid her down onto the bed. He slowly walked to the control panel and started the scan. After the scan was completed he sat down and scrolled through the data on the computer. Before the operation, she had an RC factor of 474. He scrolled further down and the numbers sky-rocked.

''It went from 474 to… 13,305?'' he was surprised. Looking through Kanou's notes, it states that the RC factors of average ghouls were between 1000 and 8000. Toshi started sweating as he turned his back, looking at his daughter. Footsteps were then heard walking towards him.

''13,305? MARVELOUS! Just magnificent!'' Kanou yelled as he applauded, clearly satisfied with the results they have achieved.

''She turned to be a greater success than even… her… SHE is by far, the strongest one I've created… Yes, my personal assassin...'' Kanou thought to himself, as he looked at Junko.

''Do you think she'll be able to control herself, Doctor Kanou?'' Toshi said, while his voice grew concerned.

''Obviously not. Well, at least not at first. That is why you will need to make the decision, here and now. You will tell her EVERYTHING and help her adapt to her new body. OR you make her swallow these pills daily and eventually let her find out on her own. I cannot guarantee your safety, nor my own. This is gambling with our lives here, Doctor Kazuya. But I will die knowing I have created the perfect artificial ghoul'' Kanou said, as he opened his notebook and began to write down the numbers.

''Is she really… Perfect?'' Toshi asked with great interest.

''Oh yes! Her RC factor is already above the average, just imagine! She could easily gain more power by cannibalizing other ghouls. If she does, your daughter will end up becoming the STRONGEST ghoul that has ever lived! I cannot wait to take notes when she has develops a Kakuja, just thinking about it gives me chills down my spine!'' Kanou said with excitement.

A loud screech was heard. Both the doctors turned their head to the metal doors. It was completely pried open.

''No. No… way…'' Toshi said, and looked over to the metal bed where his daughter laid, which was now empty.

''How is this possible?! She shouldn't be waking up this early!'' Kanou panicked and ran towards the entrance.

Toshi ran out of the laboratory.

''Did she hear me? Does she know already?'' he thought to himself as he ran as fast as he could, until he exited the building.

''It's already this late?'' he said as he looked around, trying to find any trace left by his daughter, but to no avail. He took another step forward.

''WATCH OUT!'' Kanou yelled as he pulled Toshi back, while the van flew past Toshi's face, barely missing him. Doctor Kanou had saved his life. Toshi caught a glimpse of his daughter in the distance.

''Junko! Come back, I can explain!'' Toshi said as he got up and reached out with his hand.

Suddenly, 4 appendages sprouted out of her lower back and started lashing around her, sending anything that was close to her flying away. In a blink of an eye she disappeared from Toshi's view. He felt something grab his leg, and was raised upside-down by his daughter's Rinkaku tentacle. She lifted him up to the height of her face, so that their eyes would meet. She had an apathetic expression on her face while she was maintaining eye-contact with him.

''Don't worry, I'll save you!'' Kanou yelled while he ran back into the laboratory.

''Junko, stop it!'' Toshi said. The voice echoed in her head and she seemed to have returned to her normal self.

''Dad?'' Junko said as she looked confused.

''You're quite hungry... Start with him'' a sinister voice in her mind said.

Junko raised her right hand and was about to gouge out an eye of the man who turned her into a monster. Toshi prepared for the worst and closed his eyes, nothing had happened. He wondered why no harm has come to him yet. He opened his eyes to see that Junko had tightly gripped her right forearm with her left hand, struggling to keep her hand from harming her father. Toshi looked her straight in the eyes of which one was sky blue, while the other one was a ghoul's eye, he noticed that she was crying. Experiencing all these emotions all at once, anger, hate, confusion, fear, the feeling of being betrayed... she wanted to end it all but she simply couldn't. She released him, and he fell to the ground. Toshi could hear the Kagune dissipating into the thin air.

''Junko…'' Toshi got up slowly.

''Stay away…'' Junko said and took a few steps back, as she started digging into her hair with her fingers while staring at the ground.

''Don't come near her!'' Kanou yelled and sounded like he was out of breath, as he emerged from the building once more, carrying a small grenade.

''She is highly unstable right now… most likely… still not accepting her ghoul side'' Kanou said while panting.

Toshi took a few steps back but it was already too late. One tentacle emerged from her lower back and extended 12m forward. She horizontally swept Toshi and Kanou into the concrete wall of the building.

''Kill them. Satisfy yourself, satisfy us! Kill. Kill. KILL!'' the sinister voice echoed in her mind once more.

''STOP IT!'' Junko yelled and fell on her knees. She resisted with everything she had while she began to twitch while slamming her fists on the ground.

''You'll have to accept me sooner or later. You have to accept yourself'' the voice said and stopped. Junko suddenly felt that her instincts were guiding her. She stood up without realizing it.

''Dad...'' Junko said, as she gave him a last look before she ran away with inhuman speed, while the two doctors had a hard time recovering from the impact.

A few hours later

Junko sat in a corner of an alley, staring with an emotionless expression at the wall in the distance. Hours have passed and someone had noticed her presence. A hungry looking ghoul jumped from the roof, and landed in front of her.

''You smell delicious! Don't take this personally but I'm just trying to survive!'' the ghoul sounded like a psychopath who had succumbed to hunger.

A long lizard-like tail with spikes grew out of the ghoul's lower back and dashed towards Junko, who still paid him no attention at all.

''Thank you for the food!'' He was about to impale her stomach, but instead he had hit the concrete wall.

''W-what?'' the ghoul looked around, confused as to what just happened.

''Looking for someone?'' Junko whispered in his ear, making the ghoul sweat.

Before he could even react he already felt intense pain. Her Kagune had impaled him through his lower back and in an instant his body was sliced in half by Junko's refined tentacle, which was very thin yet very sharp.

She grabbed the back of his neck and held him in the air, he wanted to scream but he couldn't. He was thrown with his back to the wall with enough force that it made a large crack in the middle of it. The ghoul was still conscious as he gasped for air. His insides were showing, as he saw that Junko had already started eating the lower part of his body in the distance. Cowering in fear he couldn't take it anymore, and finally screamed at the top of his lungs, attracting the half-ghoul's attention, as she slowly lifted up her head and looked at him. He felt this overwhelming and ominous presence... as if he was staring at the devil himself.

''Don't take it personally...'' she said, as she wiped off the blood on her mouth and slowly stood up. The terrifying half-ghoul started to slowly walk towards him with a sinister grin and widened eyes.

The ghoul looked around, desperately trying to find an escape route but it was already too late. Junko already had him cornered.

''I'm just trying to survive'' Junko lowered herself and started ripping his chest open with her bare hands. She was tearing through him like tissue paper, and consuming chunks of meat she tore out. The ghoul watched in terror as he was being eaten alive, and eventually died.

Later that morning, CCG investigators were investigating the scene of what had happened in the alley when someone called the police, reporting they heard screams. Blood was spilled all over the walls and the stench of a dead body's remains filled the air. They started taking pictures of what was left, while trying to pin together evidence what may give them an idea why and what happened here.

''What do you think, sir? Was this an act of territorial dominance?'' a rank 1 investigator asked his senior.

''No. This was clearly a fight of who would eat who, though it wasn't much of a battle. This was a completely one-sided fight. I almost feel sorry for this bastard''

''Sir, we have identified the decapitated ghoul, looks like it was an S+ ghoul who recently started roaming in this ward. Our files state that he was on the capture list, going by the name: The Nightstalker''

''An S+? Was it perhaps the Binge eater?'' the senior investigator asked.

''The Binge eater… sir?''

''The Binge eater, an S rated ghoul who massacres male humans and eat parts of them, leaving a huge pile of half eaten dead bodies. She does not eat to just survive, but also for fun, a sick reason to massacre males. No, it wouldn't make sense. Why would she resort to cannibalism, why now? We're missing something and I don't like it at all'' the investigator walked out of the alley as his junior followed him.

Two figures were spectating the investigation in the alley from the rooftops, on the other side of the building. One was a tall man, who wore a long white coat and a red mask with snow white hair. The other figure sat on the edge of the roof, kicking her legs back and forth. She was very short compared to him, her whole body was wrapped in bandages, she wore a tattered maroon cloak with droopy ears attached to the hood along with a floral scarf around her neck.

''Someone who fought and killed an S+ effortlessly? Who could it beeeeee?'' she asked her partner with a playful tone.

''It doesn't matter. We'll find him or her, soon enough'' he replied as he turned his back, and walked away from the edge. She stood up and followed him.

2 days have passed since then, and Junko was aimlessly wandering through the 20th ward until she collapsed in an alleyway due to lack of sleep. When she woke up she was in a comfortable warm bed. Junko got up, looking around in confusion. The door opened at that exact moment and a friendly looking old man walked into the room. He wore a waiter's uniform and his hair was combed back.

''I see you're awake. You must have many questions but for now, let's talk. Come downstairs when you're ready'' he said, as he politely left the room, closing the door behind him.

A few moments later, Junko came out of the room, still dressed in her school uniform. She curiously peeked down the stairs, trying to not attract attention. Despite her efforts, she was noticed almost instantly by a blue haired girl, who was standing next to the old man behind the counter. Junko's first impression of the girl was an emo and a possible delinquent. Judging by how her hair was covering half of her face.

''So, you're the person the manager brought in yesterday night. My name is Touka by the way. Just come down here, it's just a normal coffee shop, we won't bite''

''What happened to me? Why am I here? '' Junko asked impatiently.

''You're in Anteiku, that is the name of this coffee shop. The manager apparently saw a girl collapse in the alleyway, not too far from here'' Touka said while she was cleaning a coffee cup.

''We know what you are'' the old man said behind the counter, since there were no customers yet.

''I don't know what you're talking about'' Junko said, clearly feeling uncomfortable.

''Don't you worry. My crew consists of ghouls, and my customers are both ghouls and humans. There is no reason to hide it here'' the old man tried to calm her down.

''You all are ghouls? '' Junko felt anxious, and rushed towards the door.

Touka grabbed her arm in an attempt to stop her. ''Stop it, idiot. Do you want the doves to hunt us all down or what? '' sounding very annoyed.

''Let, me, GO! '' Junko said to Touka as her left eye's sclera turned black, while her iris started to glow red.

''You're... a half ghoul? '' Touka let go of her arm, looking shocked.

Junko took this opportunity, and ran out of the coffee shop while covering her left eye with her left hand. With no place to go, she decided to go somewhere else, making her way to the 24th ward.

After she had arrived in the 24th ward, she looked for an abandoned place to stay. Junko saw a medium-sized warehouse and decided to check it out. It looked old, and everything in it was thrashed. She sat down and started questioning herself. Hours have passed, and the moon's light started illuminating the dark areas inside the warehouse through the windows and the open skylight. She grew restless as she became hungrier. She knew she had to learn how to control her powers, because without control, she would succumb to the voice in her head. It was time to forget the past and accept her future. The silence was immediately broken, as she heard footsteps of 2 people approaching in the distance. It was a tall man wearing a red mask, a white cloak, and had white hair. The other one was a buffed man, dressed in a white suit, and had blond hair.

''So, Tatara... why did you come with me? I could've done this myself'' sounding cocky as he saw Junko, who was sitting on the ground at least 40 meters away from them.

''I don't like to take chances, Yamori. She killed and ate an S+ who recently popped up in the 20th ward. Besides… I want to see this one for myself'' Tatara said.

''Right, right. If she doesn't come along quietly I'll just... improvise'' Yamori said, as he walked to Junko with his hands in his pockets.

''Yamori, stop right there'' Tatara warned him.

Yamori did as he said and stopped walking. The bulky man with the big ego was now standing approximately 30m away from Junko.

''We represent Aogiri. I'm sure you've at least heard of us. We know what you are, we know what you did a few days back. We are here to recruit you, or forcefully take you back to our HQ, because we think you will be a valuable asset to our organization'' Tatara said to the girl, who still paid no attention to the two ghouls dressed in white.

''I'm sick of this, Tatara. Being nice won't help anyone. Let me take care of this'' Yamori said as he cracked his index finger. Tatara sighed and stepped back, letting Yamori work his magic.

Yamori dashed towards Junko while raising his fist. When it was about to hit her face, she simply held out her palm and blocked it effortlessly.

''Ho? '' Tatara said, as he became more interested.

''So, Tatara wasn't exaggerating about you after all. But what about thi-'' Junko disappeared from sight, and impaled Yamori in the back with her Rinkaku tentacle. She lifted the bulky man up in the air, and tossed him across the warehouse like a rag doll, breaking 2 pillars that were supporting the building. Blood spilled from the man's mouth after the impact.

''She's fast. I haven't seen anyone with that kind of speed, except Eto and the King when he was still a recruit. Perhaps she possesses the same potential as him...'' Tatara thought to himself, as he watched with great interest.

Yamori stood back up, trying his best to recover from the attack.

''You want to play? Let's PLAY'' Yamori said and wiped off the blood from his mouth as his incomplete Kakuja came out, slowly enveloping Yamori's face and right arm.

Yamori charged towards the girl, trying to hit her from multiple angles with his huge arm but fails, as Junko dodged every single attack. The bulky man disengaged by leaping back 20m, but Junko closed the gap immediately. Yamori wasn't able to follow her movement until she was in front of his face. He gasped, surprised by how fast she closed the distance between them. The half-ghoul kicked him in the stomach. Yamori coughed up blood, as he was sent flying through a concrete wall.

''So she's not just faster, but also stronger than Yamori... and not to mention, a half-ghoul. Yes... The King will be pleased with a new a prodigy like you'' Tatara thought to himself.

''That's enough, Yamori'' Tatara said, as he attracted her attention.

''RAAAAAGH'' Yamori dashed back towards Junko.

''Tch, it's no use. He became blinded by rage. I guess I'll have to intervene'' Tatara said.

''I'LL KILL YOUUU'' Yamori said, and slammed her with all his might into the ground, shattering the earth beneath them and creating a large cloud of dust. However, once the dust cloud had disappeared, so did his enemy.

''Where is she?! '' Tatara thought to himself, as he looked around.

Junko jumped from the ceiling towards Yamori, and managed to pin his calves to the ground.

''RAAAGH, YOU LITTLE..'' Yamori yelled, as his arms were sliced off before he could react as to what happened.

''Enough! '' Tatara said.

Junko slammed Yamori into the ground with 8 tentacles which made a deeper crater than Yamori did. Yamori became unconscious, as his Kakuja slowly started to dissipate into the air. She retracted her Kagune, grabbed Yamori's head and lifted it up.

''Enough is enough'' Tatara said as he walked towards Junko.

Junko redirected her attention to Tatara as she dropped Yamori's head.

''Do you want to end up as dessert…?'' She asked him.

''That is not the reason why we're here. Besides, you have plenty of time now, why not use your time to aid us instead? Now that I've seen what you can do first-hand I'll have no other choice than to take you back, no matter what happens. Join us- otherwise…'' Tatara said and angrily narrowed his eyes, as both his Kakugan suddenly became visible.

''What makes you think you can do better than him?'' The half ghoul said with a monotone voice.

''DON'T compare me to the likes of him. Yamori is NOWHERE near my league'' Tatara said as he looked at her with annoyance.

''And you are nowhere near my league...'' Junko said as she slightly tilted her head upwards.

''You should think carefully about your next words. You do not want to make an enemy of Aogiri, I can guarantee you that'' Tatara said.

''Hmm? Are you implying there are stronger ghouls than you in that little organization of yours?'' She asked curiously.

''Why don't you just tag along and find for yourself...? I'm sure it'll benefit you greatly. I'd hate to spill your blood just because of your lack of cooperation...'' Tatara said while still having a hateful expression towards the one-eyed ghoul.

The half ghoul grinned.

''You're quite bold, aren't you? Or are you just incredibly arrogant? I can't tell...'' She said as she shrugged.

''The King will have your head unless you cooperate'' Tatara said as he clenched his right fist towards her.

''The King?''

Junko raised an eyebrow before bursting into a hysterical laugh.

''What is your 'King' going to do against me?'' Junko asked him while she opened her arms.

''If you think your current power and speed rivals The King, you're wrong. In your current state you might as well roll over. The King does not waste his time with weaklings like us'' Tatara said as his temper was nearing its limit, ready to abandon the current plan and forcefully take back this one-eyed ghoul.

Junko seemed really curious about this 'King' Tatara was talking so highly of.

''Have it your way then. I'll accept your terms. Not because I am interested in whatever your organization wants to accomplish, but because I have my own reasons. Just make sure you stay out of my way'' Junko walked out of the warehouse.

Tatara walked over to Yamori, who was still unconscious. He picked him up and walked out of the warehouse.

''Excellent. I'm glad we could get to a mutual understanding without shedding too much blood... I'll take him back to the HQ, Eto told me to give you this. Buy yourself a suitable outfit, and go to this address to get yourself a mask. The owner of the shop is a ghoul as well, so get to the point right away. There's enough payment in the envelope. We'll meet here again tomorrow night'' Tatara said, as he took off with Yamori on his shoulder, leaving Junko at the warehouse.

The next day Junko went to the address that she's been given. It was quite the walk since the shop was located in the 4th ward.

''HySy ArtMask Studio, huh? '' she opened the door and a bell rang as the door closed behind her.

''Ah a customer, welcome. My name is Uta, how can I help you? '' a man asked. He was of average height with black hair, styled into an undercut. Various tattoos cover his arms, and a sun tattoo covers his entire left pectoral region. He wore a grey tank top underneath a black wrap sweater, along with harem pants and black sandals.

''I'm here for a mask'' Junko wasted no time, and showed off her Kakugan.

''Sit on the chair over there, darling. I'll start with measuring your head'' pointing to the chair across the room.

He came back with a tool and started measuring her head. ''So, what is your name darling? ''

''Kazuya... Kazuya Junko''

''That's a nice name'' writing down the sizes he measured.

''Now, what kind of mask do you want? ''

''A skull mask, covering my mouth up to my nose, along with cracks and carnivorous teeth'' Junko said, as she handed enough money to pay for the mask.

''You're lucky I'm not working alone today. Come pick up the mask within 2 to 3 hours'' Junko nodded as she left the shop.

Now she only needed an outfit. Junko wandered through the ward, and something caught her interest. It was a long black coat. However, the coat's left sleeve was not there. Perhaps it was designed that way.

The coat itself was quite long. If she would put it on, it would only dangle a few inches off the ground. Junko bought a black leather pants, a black undershirt, a pair of black leather gloves, bandages, a pair of black knee-high leather boots, a black double buckle belt, along with the coat she saw outside the store. She wasn't satisfied with her looks and decided to dye her hair white. Since she can just change personality in an instant, so can the colour white. After 3hours had passed, she came back to the shop to pick up the mask.

''Here's the mask. Come back soon, Kazuya-san'' Uta said, as he handed over the mask in a bag.

''Thank you very much'' Junko bowed and left the store.

She then returned to the warehouse. Junko changed from her school uniform, into the black undershirt and black coat, along with the black leather pants. She then changed her shoes into the black knee-high leather boots she bought. She started wrapping bandages on her left arm, starting from her fingers, slowly making her way up to her hand, until it almost reached her elbow. She then grabbed a small chain, which was hanging around in the warehouse, and started to wrap it around her left forearm over the bandages. As a final touch, she took one of the black leather gloves, and put it on her right hand, while she shoved the other one in her pocket.

After a lot of hours had passed, the sun went down at last. This time, Tatara was accompanied by the small girl, who was wrapped in bandages wearing a tattered maroon cloak with droopy ears attached to the hood, and a floral scarf around her neck. She twinkled her way into the abandoned warehouse, entering the building first.

''It's pretty thrashed in here, isn't it? '' the small girl said while she was looking around.

''Don't mind that. She said she'd be here at the exact same time'' Tatara said as he looks around, seeing nothing but an empty room.

''Who's she? '' a voice echoed from upstairs. They both look up, and saw that Junko was sitting on a horizontal pillar, that was supporting the warehouse's structure.

''Hooo, she does look strong. I think she and I are going to get along just fine'' a smile was seen through her bandages. Junko dropped down, her eyes still cold and emotionless like yesterday.

''My name is Eto. Nice to meet you, Ka-zu-ya-chan'' she said in a playful tone.

''Lead the way'' Junko sounding quite disinterested.

''Eh? You're no fun. Fine, let's go back to HQ'' she pouted. They walked out of the warehouse. With Tatara leading in the front, and Eto behind Tatara.

''Eto, I have to warn you about her, she is extremely dangerous. She took down Yamori effortlessly while sustaining no injuries whatsoever, she might be on par with the King's speed when he was just a recruit... I'm uncertain what the full extent of her power is, as she only displayed to wield 8 Rinkaku tentacles... However, I am almost certain she is hiding much more than she lets on... Should she prove trouble now- I should be able to take her out with your help.'' Tatara whispered to Eto.

''Hmm, uncertain you'll win against her?'' Eto asked curiously.

''Better to be safe than sorry, Eto'' Tatara replied.

''I have noticed she also has a split personality, which is always interesting. Her eyes give away a lot, you know? I wonder how much stronger she can become~. She'll be the answer to all of our problems... Though an introduction to him would not be a good idea, at least for now...'' Eto said and started humming as they picked up their pace, traveling on the roofs to avoid drawing attention.

After roughly 20 minutes they arrive at the Aogiri HQ in the 24th ward.

''Make yourself comfortable, your quarters have already been prepared. Your next mission is next week. You can do whatever you want, until next week'' Tatara and Eto parted from Junko.

3 years later

Ken Kaneki, an artificial ghoul that had been captured by Aogiri Tree. Yamori had been torturing him for 10 days straight until Kaneki finally accepted his ghoul side and retaliated. They fought and it ended with Kaneki easily overpowering the bulky ghoul, even in his half-kakuja state. Shortly after, Jason lost his will to fight and resist, as Kaneki slowly started devouring Yamori's Kakuhou, and whatever was left of Yamori as well, killing the bulky ghoul in the process. CCG had launched its attack on Aogiri's base where Kaneki was held captive. Ayato had defeated his elder sister Touka with relative ease, who came with Anteiku to rescue Kaneki.

''This is why you're weak, Touka! '' Ayato charged towards her to deal the final blow.

Kaneki came out of nowhere and rescued her.

''Take care of her, Nishiki-senpai'' he said, as he gentle put her down in front of him.

''Kaneki…?'' Nishiki was baffled at the new Kaneki.

Junko was standing next to a wall from afar, watching the two confront each other with great interest.

''I thought you were already dead, you one-eyed shithead!'' Ayato taunted him as he fired multiple Ukaku shards at Kaneki, who was running towards him while effortlessly dodging all projectiles until he dashed past Ayato, ending up behind his back.

It took a second for Ayato to realize what just happened, dumbfounded, he noticed and looked behind him.

''You bastard... '' Ayato grunted as they engaged each other in hand-to-hand combat.

With Kaneki having the advantage, he launched his knee straight in Ayato's stomach. Ayato coughed, as his Kagune dissipated into the air. Kaneki then kicked him through a wall, as he slowly walked towards Ayato, who was laying on the ground mildly covered in rubble.

''Don't worry Ayato, I won't kill you'' Kaneki said, as he came closer and closer. Ayato still hadn't recovered from the impact. Kaneki grew 4 tentacles and pinned all of Ayato's limbs to the ground. Ayato grunted as he struggled to break free.

''I'll just kill you half. 103, 103 broken bones'' Kaneki said to him, as he started breaking one of Ayato's bones. Ayato screamed out in pain.

Kaneki shushed Ayato as he moved his finger in front of Ayato's mouth.

''We just started, I want you to keep quiet and relaxed. This won't take long'' Kaneki said as he continued.

Ayato felt every bone break into tiny pieces, he screamed so hard that he didn't understand what Kaneki was telling him anymore. It was getting worse and worse. Kaneki would pause for a few seconds and then continue instead of just breaking bones continuously. Sometime later, Kaneki finished breaking 103 of Ayato's bones. Ayato simply laid there, still agonizing about the pain. Kaneki walked outside and someone was already blocking his way. They stared at each other with their emotionless eyes.

''Going somewhere? '' The ghoul dressed in black asked him.

''Yes, so get out of my way. I won't hesitate to kill you'' Kaneki said with a merciless tone.

''Isn't this what you wanted? To become stronger? To protect people? To protect Touka, and everyone else? '' Junko said, while circling around Kaneki from a distance.

She stopped behind him and slowly removed her mask, letting it hang from her neck.

''How do you know her? '' Kaneki said, as his voice grew concerned and turned around.

''What will you do... when everyone you care about… is taken away from you? '' she asked him.

''I see, you want to harm them. I'll just have to kill you right here… right now, to preven-'' Kaneki cut off his sentence while his eyes widened as she disappeared from his sight.

''I'm afraid you're not making the calls here, Kaneki'' she whispered in his ear. Kaneki immediately turned around but she was nowhere to be found.

''Do you know about pain, grief, love? The feeling of being betrayed? The feeling of wanting something so badly that you'd give up even your soul just to achieve that specific thing or goal?'' she asked. Kaneki turned his head to his left and saw Junko, leaning against a wall with her arms crossed and her eyes closed.

''She's like a ghost...'' Kaneki thought to himself.

''We all have purpose here in Aogiri. You want to protect them, but you can't do that. Why can't you? Because you're weak. I despise weaklings like you, it disgusts me beyond belief'' she walked away from the wall, put on her mask and opened her eyes. The ghoul's left eye changed into a Kakugan.

''A half-ghoul?" Kaneki thought to himself as he was surprised.

She dashed towards Kaneki.

''You shouldn't underestimate me'' Kaneki said with a confident voice. His Kagune suddenly blazed out of his lower back, and tried to impale her before she could reach him. She jumped in the air, dodged the 4 tentacles, and landed behind his back. He turned around, but she was long gone.

''I didn't...'' She whispered in his ear again.

Kaneki turned around and was sent flying to the wall by a powerful kick. Junko closed the distance between Kaneki and herself right after he had hit the wall. She immediately pinned all 4 of his limbs to the wall with her tentacles. Kaneki yelled at the top of his lungs, remembering how pain felt like as his Kagune dissipated.

A small girl in bandages appeared on the scene, grinning.

''You should've listened to her! How are you going to protect everyone when you're this weak? '' Eto giggled.

Eto walked over to the impaled Kaneki.

''Now, what is it going to be, Ka-ne-ki-kun? ''
