Hello readers! Welcome to chapter four of WIMTBS. This chapter should be exciting for some of you. I will base my ships based on what you guys want. I may write alternate endings for each pairing as needed. I do not own Tokyo Ghoul all rights go to Sui Ishida. I only own my OC and the plot. As always, thank you for reading! Happy Independence Day to my American readers and a very happy birthday to Ayato Kirishima.
"It's better to be hurt than to hurt others. Nice people can be happy with just that." ~ Kaneki Ken
It was around 5 pm at Kamii University as the three ghouls did their best to blend in as college students. Kumiko changed at least six different times until Ayato threatened to throw her luggage out the window. Kamii University was much bigger than Ayato and Kumiko expected while Kaneki tried to hide his excitement.
"There's so many people here." Kumiko whispered as college students crowded around them, hurrying to class.
"I know. It's disgusting." Ayato added.
"Quit being negative. It's not that bad." Kaneki gave them both a friendly grin as he led them through the campus.
"How can we find Tetsuka Kochi when we don't know what he looks like or what he teaches. This campus is huge. There is probably at least one hundred teachers." Kumiko inquired.
"Actually, I bet we can find him today. I don't think he's the type to hide, especially when he can smell three ghouls together." Kaneki explained.
"I don't see him attacking us here. There's too many people." Ayato said.
"So we have to lure him elsewhere?" Kumiko asked.
"Exactly." Kaneki agreed.
"We aren't actually attending college though right? I don't think I can handle that." Ayato confessed.
"What? The Great Ayato can't handle going to college? He can kill over 50 doves but can't learn and socialize?" Kumiko antagonized.
"Tch. Shut up." Ayato shot her a nasty look. Kumiko shot him a smug grin.
"Touka does it everyday." Kaneki added.
"Screw Touka. She couldn't kill 50 doves. The most she could kill would be like 5." Ayato hissed, walking ahead. Kaneki rolled his eyes and smiled at Kumiko. He was always like this.
"Touka-san is his sister, correct?" Kumiko questioned.
"Yeah. She's act-"
"We have to hide." Ayato grabbed their arms and attempted to drag them in the other direction, but he tripped over Kaneki's leg. The three ghouls collapsed on each other in the middle of the walkway. Some college students snickered while others just stepped over them. Ayato let out a groan as he pushed the other two off of him.
"Uh, what are you guys doing here?" A female voice asked awkwardly. Ayato shifted his gaze to the pathway while Kaneki helped Kumiko up.
"Touka." Kaneki softly smiled, extending his hand. Touka gave him a look of amusement before giving him a hug. Kumiko awkwardly shifted her gaze to Ayato, who was still sitting on the ground. Touka and Kaneki seemed to be in their own world as Kumiko extended a hand to help Ayato up. He completely ignored it and stood up on his own. Kumiko huffed.
"This is Kumiko. We are all on a mission for Aogiri together."
"Uh, hello." Kumiko stammered. She wasn't used to meeting people in this fashion. Touka gave her a friendly nod and turned to her younger brother, who refused to look at her.
"Do you know Tetsuka Kochi? He's supposed to be a professor here." Kaneki turned the conversation around, much to Ayato and Kumiko's delight. Touka tapped her chin.
"Yeah he sounds familiar. He has a weird scent to him, kinda like old meat and hospital."
"I'll catch you up."
"I can't believe the CCG would go to these great lenghts of actually creating an artificial ghoul just to kill us." Touka shook her head in anger. The four ghouls sat at a table out in the open.
"Pfft. I can believe it. We were never meant to coexist." Ayato leaned back in his chair and rolled his eyes.
"That's just what you believe." Touka fired back. The siblings gave each other hard looks, making the rest of the table uncomfortable.
"So, uh… About Tetsuka?" Kaneki let out a shy chuckle.
"He's a chemistry professor. I've never had him but I always see him in the labs." Touka answered.
'Let's kick his ass." Ayato stood up.
"No, wait." Kaneki grabbed Ayato by the sleeve. "Don't be stupid. You can't cause a scene here remember."
"I know that." He peeled Kaneki's white hand off his leather jacket. "I'm going to lure him to the football field."
"You know we are supposed to work together on this right? This isn't Ayato and the other two ghouls who happened to trail behind mission. Can you at least tell us the details?" Kumiko pleaded. Ayato stared at her for a few seconds before sitting back down.
"Just to be clear: Everyone has to do exactly what I say."
Kaneki said goodbye to Touka before the three ghouls began their mission. Kumiko gave a friendly wave while Ayato scowled.
"There's the labs." Kaneki pointed to a building near the end of the campus. Ayato nodded and motioned the two to follow.
"It looks like he's teaching a class." Kumiko observed as they got closer to the building.
"This is his last class of the day. We will just have to wait till he's out." Kaneki explained.
"Why is Touka running this way?" Ayato's voice caused them to see an exhausted Touka who caught up to them and attempted to catch her breath.
"Doves are here. They are about to evacuate all the students. You have to leave. Now. "
"How did they know we were ghouls?" Kumiko whispered.
"I don't know but the whole city has been under close watch after an attack where three ghouls kill-" She looked skeptically at them. "Did you guys attack 10 doves last night? Honestly, what the hell were you guys thinking?" She directed her sentence to Kaneki, who looked at the floor ashamed.
"To be fair, they approached us first." Ayato grinned.
"This isn't funny! What about the rest of us who are just trying to fit in? You don't put out fire by adding more fire."
"Where did you see the doves?" Kumiko interrupted.
"Three buildings away. I don't know what you guys are planning, but keep me and the other ghouls out of it."
"I'm sorry, Touka." Kaneki apologized.
"You know better." She turned on her heel and hurriedly walked where the rest of the student's were dispersing.
"What do we do now? Should we come back another time?" Kumiko asked. Sirens went off in the campus as students and teachers ran out of the exits as they tried to get away from danger.
"This is not a drill. Ghouls are on campus. I repeat: Ghouls are on campus. All students and professors need to leave the University in an orderly fashion." The intercom blared through the speakers.
"Hide." Kaneki motioned the two ghouls behind a wall as a group of thirty or so doves marched through campus.
"We can take them." Ayato whispered.
"Haven't we already done enough damage?" Kaneki replied.
"Look, it's Tetsuka." Kumiko pointed to the professor, who looked extremely human. He was talking to the doves as they scanned the campus.
"This was planned." Ayato muttered.
"What?" Kumiko asked, looking into Ayato's colorful eyes.
"They somehow knew we would be here. They were ready for us."
"How would they know we were coming? The only people who knew were the higher ups at Aogiri." Kaneki rebutted.
"Plus they know that three ghouls attacked 10 doves last night. Maybe they are looking for a little revenge." Ayato whispered as footsteps came closer. The three ghouls put their backs flat against the wall.
"We need an escape plan. This isn't a good time." Kumiko's voice shook.
"Tetsuka, you said that you smelled them close?" A dove asked as they stood just mere inches away from the three ghouls. Tetsuka let in a gaspy inhale.
"Oh yeah. Two males, One female. And do they smell delicious." He let out a dark chuckle.
"You can't eat them. We have to take them in alive, remember?"
"They never said I couldn't eat an arm or two." Tetsuka replied, getting closer and closer to where the ghouls crouched behind a large trashcan. Ayato gave his partners a look before putting his mask on.
"I'll distract them. You guys think of a plan." He ordered.
"Bu-" Kumiko blurted.
"We don't have time. Just do what I said." He interrupted, before releasing his kagune.
"Show off." Kaneki smirked. Ayato nodded at the white haired ghoul and leaped into the air, attacking the artificial ghoul with his kagune, piercing his entire stomach. The investigators gasped at the surprise attack but Tetsuka almost appeared as if he were expecting it. Even though his stomach was completely overtaken by Ayato's kagune he didn't look at all in pain. Ayato immediately distracted his kagune and jumped back a few feet. His mouth fell when he saw Tetsuka's body instantly repair itself. He had completely pierced through all his organs and it didn't even leave a scratch? Tetsuka laughed, clutching his stomach and looking at the younger ghoul in amusement. Ayato subconsciously took a step back, preparing for a defensive move.
"My turn." He let out his slick black kagune that rose over 20 feet high. Ayato's eyes traveled up to the top of his kagune where a sharp scorpion tail pointed straight at him. He had never seen anything like this in his 19 years of life. For once in his life, he was terrified. The doves ran behind him, waiting to open their suitcases. Ayato clenched his jaw and prepared for the worst. He clearly underestimated the CCG. Tetsuka aimed his kagune and fired it at Ayato. He ended up dodging it last minute and falling to the ground due to the strong impact. As Tetsuka pulled his kagune back Ayato saw the damage it did to the cement they stood on. The hole had to be two feet deep. Tetsuka repeatedly tried to struck Ayato with his scorpion tail but missed from Ayato's defenses. The second Tetsuka fired his kagune, Ayato had to dodge and regain his composure before he struck at him once again. He was purely defensive and had no time to even get a punch in. What's taking those two so long? Ayato wondered as he tried to catch his breath.
"Hey fuckers, I'm gonna eat your Mom!" A female voice rang behind him. He instantly recognized it was Touka's. His breath was caught in his throat. She shouldn't be here. Tetsuka stopped momentarily attacking Ayato to look at the girl in a rabbit mask. He narrowed his eyes at her.
"Get her." He spoke as the doves behind her charged towards the young girl.
"No!" Ayato tried to attack the nearest investigator but was blocked by Tetsuka's kakune. He glared at the artificial ghoul who locked eyes with him. Touka flew from the doves and landed on one of the buildings. The investigators opened their suitcases as they ran after her, kakunes at disposal. Kaneki launched himself up next to Touka on one of the roofs.
"There's the other one!"
"That's eyepatch! He's an one eyed ghoul!" the doves screamed as they tried to catch up. Ayato let out a small sigh of relief. He trusted Kaneki with his elder sister.
"You're mine." Tetsuka brought down his kagune, interrupting Ayato's worry. Oh, shit.
He braced himself for the attack when Kumiko jumped in front of him, pushing Ayato out of the way before Tetsuka's kakune made contact with her fox mask, completely shattering her mask in pieces. She fell to the floor from the impact as Ayato rushed to her, keeping an eye on Tetsuka. The artificial ghoul's grin grew at the sight.
"Just when things started to get dull." He chuckled. Ayato grabbed Kumiko over his shoulder and leaped to the roof, running her to safety.
"Running away huh?" The artificial ghoul narrowed his eyes at Ayato but chuckled nonetheless.
"Alright I'll even give you a headstart." His voice echoed as Ayato jumped over one last building before putting Kumiko down beside a satellite pole. She looked up at him with a small smile.
"I didn't die." She caught her breath. The remaining part of her mask began to melt away slowly. How did her mask handle that much damage? Or more importantly, why is it melting? Ayato pulled the ruined mask and threw it off the building. The rest of it scattered completely into little pieces. He looked around for Tetsuka but didn't see him anywhere.
"Don't you ever do that again." Ayato glared at the dark headed girl.
"I couldn't let you die. I haven't kicked your ass yet." She replied, standing on her two feet. Ayato scowled at her stubbornness but couldn't help a small grin curl from his lips
"And you never will." He saw Kaneki and Touka running alone in the distance behind a park.
"Go with them. I'll catch up." He motioned to the park. Kumiko hesitated.
"That's an order."
"If you aren't back in ten minutes-"
"I'll let you kick my ass. Now go before he finds us." Ayato commanded. Kumiko nodded her head and jumped off the building. She saw Tetsuka gaining speed in the distance. A nervous lump appeared in her throat. She hoped Ayato would make it out of this alive.
I am sooooooooooooooooooooo sorry about taking this long to update. This past week kicked my ass. I only have two questions I want you guys to answer.
Should I change the rating of this story to Mature to add more graphic details?
Would you guys want some smut/lemon in the future?
Thanks for reading!
