The next day Rize is working the morning shift, Shuu barges in disturbing many costumes, Touka, from behind the bar, rolled her eyes and walked off, uninterested in their conversation. "Rize, how are you doing this fine morning? I want to talk to you later when your shift is over, I have a very special invite for you." He said with a great deal of energy in his voice as he sat at a table nearing where Rize was standing.
She looked up, "Uhhhh, okay, I guess, where do you want to meet? I get out at fifteen hundred hours." She said with a puzzled look on her face while holding a tray of soiled dishes.
"How about we meet at this other coffee shop I found down the road," as he discreetly nodded his head towards Touka, "they have this iced coffee that is just to die for, uhhhaaa! Thinking about them now, drives me crazy!" He declared with a charming little smile.
Later that day, they met at the other coffee shop, "So, Rize, I have a proposition for you, I was wondering if you want to come to the Gourmet's meeting tonight, I have a special surprise for everyone." He discreetly licked his lower lip, "Rize, what do you think? There will be some yummie people there," he chided in a sing-song voice, "I have hand picked them myself."
She was staring at him blankly for a few minutes, "Yeah, I suppose, I like my prey to know when I'm killing them and devouring them alive, I love watching the life drain out of their eyes, their look... Uhhh, there's something about it, that I just can't get over." She closed her eyes as if she was savoring that look from Kaneki.
Shuu looked at her completely appalled, a grin started to form all across his face in a slow motion fashion, "I just love the way you think, ahhh, I love it! I can't wait to see you tonight. Ciao, my darling."
Rize was walking over to Shuu's house. She stopped and thought, 'Maybe I'll stop and pick up a quick meal before I get there, I have heard that they don't get really big portions… Ouuhh, I see some easy prey, just begging me to take a nibble.' Rize walked over towards two boys who were skateboarding down the street, trying to do tricks one of the boys fell and scraped his arm, blood was pouring out of the wound.
Rize asked with a stern, strong voice, "What were you guys doing out here it's getting pretty dark." The sun had just set there were a few clouds in the distance that were still a bright orange as the dying rays of crimson escaped the horizon from the setting sun. Both boys were looking at Rize while she inspected the boy's injured elbow. "Well, it looks like you're going to be alright, just a small scrape, should be gone in a week or less." She released his arm delicately and crinkled her nose slightly.
"Okay, ma'am, thank you, we will get home as soon as we can. Have a good night, you should get home soon yourself, you don't want anything to happen." They said with a slow jog away from her. She smiled and waved innocently.
Rize got a sadistically large grin on her face, "They didn't smell very good, Shuu better have some better. She continued to walk towards the mansion that slowly came into view as the sun completely descended casting the sky in darkness. As she was walking up to Shuu's manor, she stopped a took a good look at his house. "Wow, this house is so big, I wouldn't even know what I would do with all this room." Shuu's house stood grand in size that Rize couldn't even see the left side and the right side in the same look without turning her head. There are two large marble pillars on either side of the mahogany front door.
Rize knocked on Shuu's beautiful but slightly menacing entrance. He opened the door quickly, almost as if he had been waiting there. "Ahh! Rize, I thought you would never make it! I was starting to get sad." He began to faux pout with a childish tone to his voice. "But no matter, you are here now, I can't wait for you to meet everyone! However, before we meet up with the rest of my charming friends, would you like something to drink or get for a quick snack before she main course begins?"
Rize was distracted as she was glancing around with this look of exasperation all over her face, taking in the scheme of bold colors and accented woods of the main entranceway, she looked back at him. "So… Where is everyone else?" Snapping her already distracted attention up towards a gigantic, looming crystal chandelier above them.
"There, in the next room, let's go meet up with them." As they walked in the room in the center of Shuu home, the room was all dark and quiet, the lights all flicked on at once. Everyone yelled, "Welcome, new-comer!" Rize looked around and noticed that all the guests were dressed in masquerade.
Narrowing her resplendent lilac eyes, she muttered to herself behind gritted teeth, "Thanks for letting me know this was a dress up kind of occasion… Might have been nice to know that little detail… Shuu."
She looked at Shuu with a bashful smile and a faint blush as he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Let's go to my booth to enjoy the show." Once they got up to Shuu's booth, she ran to the balcony where she got a grand view of the arena. "You can see everything from up here!" She looked down and the entire ground was dark. "Shuu, why is it so dark down there…"
Before she could finish what she was saying all the lights flicked on at the bottom. "That, that is a stadium."
Shuu blushed for a few seconds while gently nibbling on his pinky from the hand that rested elegantly on his jawline, "That is where all the magic happens." Shuu stepped forward "Ladies and gentleman, I have a special surprise for you all." A big iron gate opened up at the far side of the ring.
Ten people darted out while screaming, "Where are we?! What's going on?!"
Shuu cleared his throat "Ladies, gentleman, I have brought you more than I normally do, because I was tired of the same old thing that we have been doing for a few months now. So, since this is a special occasion, I was thinking one of us could kill them."
The crowd gasped one man yelled out, "We don"t kill them! That's why we bring warriors!"
Shuu was about to continue his speech, when Rize said in a loud voice, "I'll do it! I love killing. I love ripping humans, piece to piece." A slow sadistic grin began to take form over her plush lips. Before anyone knew it, she had jumped off Shuu's balcony landing on the ground with catlike grace.
"To let all of you know, you there, the ones pathetically on the ground, there are weapons all around you. If you can kill her, you get to leave here alive. Rize, my sweet, go easy on them, we all want to eat tonight." Shuu let out a hearty laugh as he flicked an invisible tear from the corner of his eye.
"Hey, what's coming out of her back?" The patrons on the ground all looked at Rize. There are four thick snake like tentacles that came out of her back, twitching in anticipation.
She had a devilish look on her face. She started running at the one who yelled, and snarled out, "You're first!" Rize was running at him with lightning speed. She was in his face in seconds with a cruel grin, and then she was gone in a flash. He stood there stunned, looking around frantically. She whispered in his ear, "I'm behind you." Before he could turn around to look at her, he was impaled through the chest.
The crowd yelled cheering her on in a boarish manner. Everyone else in the arena was running toward the weapons on the side of the ring. She dropped the man who first yelled and took off running after the group of people closest to the edge of the ring on the right. As they were picking up the weapons she stabbed all three of them making a shish ku bob of people. She tossed them all to the middle of the ring where the man whom she first killed resided lifelessly. She did the same thing with five more of them till there was only one left.
A young woman had just picked up a mini gun and pointed it at Rize, her arms trembling in fear. The barrels started to move faster and faster, they spun right before the bullets could come flying out at Rize, who had completely wrapped her kagune around the other's neck.
"Oh, I'm going to enjoy killing you." Rize's voice purred out like silk, as she squeezed a little tighter raising her prey up, showing the crowd her victory over all of the humans. They all screamed with excitement. She took a big bite out of the woman she was holding. Walking her over to the middle of the ring dropping her on top of the rest.
Rize was blanketed in blood. She bent over and starting eating all of the people she had just killed. The crowd growled angrily, "That's our food too, you can't have them all!" One woman proclaimed. The crowd started opening their gates where they keep their companions, "KILL HER!" They all yelled. All of the companions starting running at her in one cluster. One by one, they got thrown away from her. They couldn't even get close to her, she was still enjoying her meal. Her kagune was flailing around frantically.
