"Jeeves." The ebony haired detective spoke from inside his hotel room.

"Yes sir?" His butler answered without pause.

One could tell from just a glance that he was within his late fifty's. A stereotypical butler, but it was apparent that he had been this mans caretaker for most of his life.

"I think its about time I went out for some coffee."

Two months had passed since he first began his investigation into case number 367. During those months the information he had accumulated was rather astounding. Sifting through police records and hospital records he had gained quite a bit of information on Kaneki. But first and for most he finally had the grounds to establish the case as a possible homicide. This being the fact that given the weight of the I-beams that killed Rize, it was highly improbably that the cause of them falling was due to poor distribution of weight or faulty cables. Having thought of that outcome already he took it upon himself to check the contractors purchases, and sure enough they had bought new cables just under a month before the accident. So the only logical explanation for the I-beams was that they had been tampered with in some way. This would mean that there was an unknown third party. Known through out the world as the alias Karasu , he always considered himself more of a vigilante than a detective. It was his strong sense of justice one could say. He took on countless cases as Karasu and would go to any length to solve the puzzle. Even going as far as to hack into a governments database. Though this would normally lead to someone's arrest, Karasu had one trump card up his sleeve. Jeeves was the only one alive knew his face. Then there was only one person alive who knew Karasu's real name, and that was himself.

At the age of sixteen he had been able to connect a string of kidnappings to a known Ghoul organization, leading to their detainment and brainwashing by Izanami. Izanami was now the leading protection the human race had to offer. Their methods were brutal, efficient, and swift. In ten years not one Izanami Agent had been killed in a ghoul related incident. Starting off they relied on guerrilla warfare tactics. Hitting ghoul organizations periodically over time, acquiring more ghouls each time until their numbers had started to overwhelm the organization. Izanami started to expand into a global organization, recruiting had a 73% mortality rating. This insured that only the strong made it. Using Kagune from the ghouls they brainwash or kill they were able to develop a new type of ammunition.
It was a 5.56mm full metal jacket, capable of piercing the strongest Kagune defense and rip a ghoul to bits. That was the standard round for Izanami operators. The next round however was for the Izanami recon operators which fired 12.7mm explosive rounds. The round was as it was described, lethal. Exploding on impact with its target it would free any limb from a ghouls body. This would throw the target into shock, leading to an easy take down. The recent bout between Aogiri Tree and Izanami had been hellish. During this battle many police officers had been killed by the ghoul organization before Izanami began their operation.

The sound of Helicopter rotors boomed within the cargo area of the Black Hawk. Izanami operators checked their gear for any abnormality's almost out of habit. Their uniforms marked that they were ready for hard contact. The leader finally spoke up above the sound of the roaring helicopter. "Alright team, tonight's objective is Aogiri Tree. We've also received intel that The One-Eye'd Owl could be in the AO aswell. First things first were going to infill via rope half a click from the target building. Once we hit the ground I want security to be established in a three hundred and sixty degree field of view. These ghouls are dangerous so remember to cover the man next to you. Once we establish security were going to move in two teams. I'll be leading Mako 1-2, the members composed of Mako 1-2 will be Mamba, X-Ray, Yankee, Dusty, and myself callsign Shogun." The squad leader paused taking in the nationalities of each member on the helo. United Kingdom, United States, Russia, Australia, Poland, Germany. Each member a former Special forces operator. Navy Seal, SAS, SAS-R, Spetsnaz, GROM, KSK, SFOD-D. "Mako 2-2 will be comprised of the members Rook and Jester. You two will be the designated sniper team providing over watch for the assault element." Rook spoke up over the coms from the second Black Hawk. "Looks like the party is going to kick off right proper tonight." "Yeah too bad nobody invited you to the party." Dusty added earning the chuckles from the rest of the group. "Alright our objective is simple. This is going to be a standard Attrition mission. When we go in you are cleared weapons free, check your corners, and make sure you don't break formation." The members of Izanami called out at the same time signaling that they understood each word Shogun spoke. The rest of the flight was quiet as each soldier focused on the mission at hand. The pilot spoke up from the cockpit "One minute to drop." "One Minute!" Each soldier echoed in response. They could feel the Helicopter start to bleed off it's speed, shifting its hull slightly upwards to slow its momentum. Shogun reached for the door on the side, sliding it open to be greeted with the cool night air. "You are cleared to drop. Happy hunting boys." The pilot said with a smile looking back at them. "Alright drop ropes!" Shogun ordered to each helicopter. Not a few seconds later thick black ropes had been deployed out of the helo's. "Go! Go! Go!" and with that final order each member began to slide down the ropes into the darkness below.

"Sitrep." Shogun whispered over the coms. The sound of the helicopters now a distant memory.
"Area clear. No movement." X-Ray replied in a heavy Russian accent.
Shogun held his HK416 at the ready, scanning his environment. "Alright lets move." He said moving from a crouched position through the knee high grass of the park.
Coming to the street corner near the target building they could hear the constant crack of gunfire at the front of the building, the police were being driven back. "Looks like the enemy position is dug in relatively well." Dusty paused observing more of the area. "Getting across the parking lot unseen will be a problem." "Da." X-Ray responded. "Mako 2-2 this is Mako 1-2." Shogun paused waiting for a reply. "Send traffic Mako 1-2." "Think you could take out the transformer boxes leading to the target building?" "Honestly I thought you would request something harder." Rook returned.

Rook and Jester had set up on a building over looking the target. Jester relayed the wind speeds and distance to target to his partner in the German accent of his. Four shots, no misses. The power to the target build had been cut and now the area's around it were enveloped in darkness.

"Drop your NODS." Shogun whispered to his team. He waited for each of them to have equipped their night vision goggles before they proceeded across the parking lot in a standard line formation. Signaling with his hands he ordered the assault element to stack on the door. Testing the knob he felt that the door was locked. Raising his hand to his head he made a fist and tapped it on the top of his helmet. The man behind him, Mamba, moved up to the door and placed a door charge on the knob and pulled the pin before quickly moving back to his original position. The sound of the door knob being blown off from both sides of the door was masked by the continuing firefight between Aogiri and the Police. Slowly, methodically, Izanami started to clear the building one floor after the next, the sounds of their guns masked by their suppressors. The Police could notice a change in the amount of gun fire they were receiving. It was slowly being toned down to a bare minimum, then none at all. Izanami operatives had secured the entire building. Stepping over the corpses of the Bin Brothers Shogun broke radio silence. "Mako 2-2 this is Mako 1-2 how copy?" "Mako 1-2 this is Mako 2-2 send traffic." "Target building has been pacified, moving to extraction."

Present Day.

Two women could be seen sitting in the middle of the courtyard of Kamii University.

"Touka? Touka!" Yoriko raised her voice.

"Hmm? What?" Touka snapped back to reality.

"You were day dreaming again." She said puffing her cheeks out like a squirrel. "Sheesh, you've been paying less attention lately. Come on why don't you just tell me who he is." she muttered, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Tell you who, who is?" She raised an eyebrow to her best friend.

"Come on, anybody could tell you were thinking about a guy. You're always blushing and biting your bottom lip." She nodded agreeing with herself. "Honestly I was beginning to think you weren't into guys." she teased.

"Shut up! I don't bite my bottom lip and blush. And what do you mean you thought I wasn't into guys?
Just because any other guys try to talk to me I'm supposed to fall head over heels for them?" Touka defended.

Though the words were not lost on Yoriko. "'Any other guys' huh?" A glint seemed to appear in her eye at those words. "I knew it, you are in love!" she said with a smile and clapped her hands together.

"W-wait hold on no-" Yoriko had cut her off. "Come on tell me, what's his name, what's he like? Oh! How old is he, does he work?"

Touka's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. She hated the fact that her friend had noticed her mistake, and now she was paying dearly for it.

"I'm not in love." A clear lie through her teeth. "Uh-huh. And my hair isn't brown."

Tch. She turned her head away from her friend, looking back at the school.

Silence fell between the two women, neither speaking to each other.

"Eh? What's this you actually stopped talking? The world must be ending." Touka teased as she looked back towards her friend. To her surprise she wasn't even paying attention any more, her gaze had drifted off to another place.

"Who are you in love with, Touka-chan?" a sly grin softly spread across his cheeks. Though small and unnoticeable by most, when Touka turned to see the cause of the voice she fell dead silent. There standing over the pair was the cause of her day dreams, holding a dandelion out to her of all things. It was his awkward nature of showing affection that really got to her. The sight was no doubt amusing to her best friend, who mouthed the words 'Go on take it.' Kaneki had caught her with her guard down, and the side effects were showing. Her cheeks had flushed into a light hue of pink. Coming back to her senses she lightly took the wild flower, one he had clearly just picked, from his pale finger tips. It didn't help that he had been in a tank top of all things. "Kankei-kun...what are you doing here?" she was barely able to get the words to emerge from her diaphragm.

"The manager gave me the day off and since its such a nice day outside I thought, rather than staying at Anteiku and reading, I'd come and see you." The sliver haired male said with a smile.

Touka had no idea what to say in response, her head could only shift downwards to look at the dandelion within her hand, brushing her finger across it's petals with care not to damage it.

The other girls in the academy had already taken notice of the the boy talking to her. Most of them were thinking the same exact thing that Yoriko had thought upon first seeing him. He was gorgeous.

The silence was broken by the sounding of the bell, indicating that their lunch break had ended.
With that Yoriko sat up from her spot on the grass.

"Well it was nice meeting the guy that Touka day dreams about all the time, Kaneki was it?" She said with a smile, no doubt teasing the indigo haired woman still sitting on the grass. "Good luck Touka". Then with a wave and a wink she was gone.

Kaneki sat down next to next to Touka, gazing up at the clouds passing by, obscuring the bright blue sky. "Well I guess you should get going too, you're going to be late for class." he laughed a little at his own comment. Though what happened next was unexpected to him. Touka gripped the front of tank top and pulled the man closer to her smashing her lips onto his. The two shared the warm kiss between each other under the rays of the sun. Kaneki brushed his black finger nails across her cheek, tucking her purple locks behind her ear. The dandelion that was once in her hand had been tucked in between her left ear. She finally broke the kiss smiling sweetly.

"You're such an asshole." her grin still printed onto her face. She was greeted with a genuine smile of his own at her comment.

"Love you, Touka-chan."

"Love you too, idiot." There was no way she would be able to keep this secret now that Yoriko had found out.

Well there you guys have it chapter 3 has been finished, though I have to say writing this chapter was an absolute nightmare. I'm trying to keep updating this story every other day but I must have had bad luck yesterday, I lost my progress on the story twice and spent the majority of the day trying to recover the data from my Temp folder. So now I've started taking extra precautions when writing the fanfiction. I regularly paste the story over to my note pad in case Open office crashes like it had been. That being said I was up all night trying remember the things I had wrote into the story. As for Touka and Kaneki they're still unsure as to where their relationship stands, but they clearly love each other. I've also taken it upon myself to try and better my style with Touka, so all feed back is welcomed to help me grow. As always I'll see you, in the next chapter.~Ken
