Hey guys. I'm finally back with a new chapter for the Neuntöter Story. Well as you noted already the poll is down after an exact month running time and here is the result of in total 12 people voting.

Shino Kurabayashi - 8 votes
Touka Kirishima - 4 votes (I'm actually suprised by this)
Mamina - 3 votes
Giselle - 3 votes
Myuute - 2 votes (I spelled her Name the whole time wrong (=_=;))
Panache - 0 votes

So, sorry who of you suggested to bring Panache in this pairing, but no one has voted for her. In a month. So she won't be there as a romantic interest. For all of you that now think that the whole pairing thing will concentrate on Shino. Well I guess I could make a harem in this story, but I have no expierence with it cause I haven't seen such an anime yet. Or maybe I did but never paid attention to this kind of stuff, who knows? So the votes for the others will not go to waste and the other females will be integrated in the story. Only time can tell how this will develop.

So it has been over a month already now, so let's start with the chapter already. You have waited long enough.


Gate - and so a Neuntöter fought

Chapter 9: Today Alnus, tomorrow Japan


The sound of tanks and helicopters woke Hitoshi from his sleep. He looked outside to see indeed these vehicles driving and practicing for real combat. Surely those nobles up there would be impressed by this. As they had arrived at the fortress everyone got out the jeeps. Itami however drove further to the headquarters.

'Probabely to fill in this princess in the situation.' he thought. He and the rest of the team walked to cabins so they could get rid off the bullet proof vests and their weapons. However as Hitoshi stepped out the cabin, only in his army clothes now, he saw Itami running away from the HQ like Death himself was after him. As he ran past the ghoul, Hitoshi grabbed the otaku by the back of his collar and held him in a firm grip. Itami nearly fell to the floor, when Hitoshi wouldn't have a very strong grip. By this time the others stepped out the cabins as well.

"Itami what are doing here? Don't you have a princess to inform about her situation here?" Hitoshi asked and released him. Itami smiled sheepish as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Well you see, I had to take care of this diet thing and you know..." he said.

"With other words you dumbed them and gave them some random person as a guide so they could at least find the meeting." Hitoshi crossed his arms. "Really Itami that's not very gentleman-like." he said as he walked away leaving Itami to his team mates, which were either disappointed in his behavior or suprised that he didn't got fired yet.

Later as Hitoshi's hair had dried off from the bath, he honestly needed and deserved after two days of stress, he walked around the base of Alnus. It was boring to just sit around and wait for further orders. So he decided to pay the 'prisoners' a visit. Thanks to Itami they had to supply a bunch of young, former bandit women and the refugees from Coda village. For Hitoshi one thing was clear. Should Itami do something to them only because of his stupid harem fantasies he would get expelled from the JSDF faster then Hitoshi could release his kagune. Hitoshi himself couldn't help but wonder when the two worlds could exist in peace. He hoped not so soon. The war was after all his meat supplier number 1. But then again the People here had no saying in politics and every movement of the empire came from Pina's father. Honestly Hitoshi wanted to take this emperor and bring him to Tsukiyama, so he could do whatever he wanted to do to him. 'Humans are much worse then ghoulss, because they don't kill because they need to. They choose to.' Hitoshi thought. That was his opinion about the CCG and the empire. But like there were of course exceptions. This formal girl has a heavy burden on her shoulders and the civilians were not evil or something. The whole hatred and conflict seemed to come from the upper society such as nobles. He shook his head. He had no time to think about this. Hitoshi walked around the houses the prisoners had been given to them as he noticed that it was dead silent here. Not a single person was outside their huts and the table outside just stood there.

'Are they afraid of the JSDF?' Hitoshi thought. He couldn't really blame them, since they had lived just 2 days ago from killing and stealing and now they were confronted with tthe kindness of strangers. That of course was a reason to be sceptical. Then a door opened behind Hitoshi, but he pretended to not hear it. Another good aspect of being a ghoul very sharp senses. He heard footsteps coming in his direction before he decided to speak up.

"You know sneaking up someone from behind like that is not very nice." Hitoshi said without turning around.

"'Wha... how?" A voice said behind him. Hitoshi turned around to see a familiar feather head. Myuute he thought her name was.

"Is something the matter?" Hitoshi asked. Myuute was silent for a few seconds as she looked at Hitoshi with something he thought would be determination.

"I know what you did back there." She said. Hitoshi tensed up immediately. 'She knows. Dammit she knows that I ate those guys. She's threat. No one is allowed to know about that. ButI can't kill her. That would be too suspicious.' All these thoughts raced through Hitoshi's head as he felt his kagune pressing against his skin. One quick strike and it would be over. No screams, no noise, just a lot of blood. But then something unexpected happened. Myuute looked at him with Determination and said two words. "Train me."

Hitoshi blinked. Did she just ask him to train her like in physical training. "Excuse me but why do you want me to train you?"

Myuute looked down in shame. "Back in Italica I could only rely on my magical abilities to protect my comrades from the arrows. I thought that would have been enough. But then you showed up and everything went down to the bottom. I was afraid when you captured us. About what you could have done to us." she said. Hitoshi couldn't blame her. Japan was not only in technogical matters centuries ahead in this world. Here a common women probably had the value of something you could buy on a market. Myuute continued. "But you were nice to us for some reason. I really don't understand it, but after I heard that you took down this bunch of bandits all by yourself, I knew that I wanted to be strong as well. So please teach me how you beat them. " She bowed her head even deeper.

"Why don't you ask Kurabayashi if she helps you? She's a close combat specialist you know?" Hitoshi said.

"I know that she's strong as well, but she relies more on her weapon. Please teach me!" she said looking him straight in the face. Hitoshi had to use all force to not give in this face right now. In her eyes tears strated to form and with that slightly red blush out of embarrasment on her face she looked kinda cute. 'Wait what? No she's definately not my age. Or maybe... NO!' Hitoshi argued inside his head. But Myuule kept looking at him. 'Dammit... Don't... give... in... those... puppy eyes!' Hitoshi mentally screamed. After a minute of staring at each other Hitoshi had to give up. It reminded him of how he looked at Yomo as he started to train under his wing or ukaku kagune, if you want to.

"Alright, but my training will be hard and I'm not sure if I can be a good teacher." Hitoshi said. Myuule's face brighten up immediately as she hugged Hitoshi's arm.

"Thank you mister." she said as she pushed his arm further in her cleavage. 'Those are probably the size of Touka's. I wonder what she's doing now?' Hitoshi thought as he shook his head. Probably she was making something with her boyfriend.

Meanwhile at Anteiku, Touka felt a sudden rush of the desire to kill someone. Didn't even noticed that sh broke one of her pens in half as she sat at her desk, preparing for school.


Later in the evening

Hitoshi lay on his bed and sared at the ceiling. Apparantly Itami and a few others of the JSDF would return to Ginza and would bring a few refugees with them as well. Itami right now had convinced Tuka from coming with them. Hitoshi actually asked him not to pick her since she didn't overcome the death of her father and had little to no self confidence. Right now Tuka, Leilei and Rory were coming with them. Hitoshi had laughed at this because he thought it was a joke, but bringing a demigod apostle of a god of death and destruction with them in one of the worlds most populated cities with a giant halberd was probably the stupidies thing Itami could have ever done. Well he was used of him to do something stupid, but now he just reached a new level of being an idiot. Then there was knock on his door.

"Who is coming here at such an hour?" Hitoshi sat up and walked to the door as he opened the door. In front of him stood no other then Itami Youji.

"Hey Hitoshi..." he said with a sheepish smile on his face. "Can I sleep here for the night?"

"And why is that?" Hitoshi deadpanned.

"Well I was in the office as Leilei came in and asked me to bring her back to her hut. I wanted to talk to her, but she fell asleep already."

"She's 15. She shouldn't be up for so long in the first place." Hitoshi said.

"Yeah, well I couldn't get a car anymore so I brought her to my room." Itami said. Hitoshi stared at him for a few seconds.

"That's sick, even for you." he said.

"It's not like that! Anyway, I put her on my bed and now I need to sleep somewhere else." Itami said.

Hitoshi sighed as he let Itami in. "Okay come in. Well at least you didn't strip her clothes, so she can't get the wrong ideas." he said, but Itami was silent. Too silent.

"Well you see..." he couldn't finish as something hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconcious. Hitoshi stood there his eyes changed into kagugan and a familiar death aura surrounded him. Hitoshi was lucky that the cabins had no cameras.

"You perverted little... oh oh!" Hitoshi realized his mistake. Itami laid face down on the ground and Hitoshi had his kagugan activated. When someone would see him now it would be dead end. Hitoshi calmed down in a second and let his kagune slid out. He wrapped his tail around Itami's waist. He checked him for any kind of visible injury and his pulse. Hitoshi sighed in relief. He had a bump on his head and his pulse was okay as well. Hitoshi then laid Itami in his bed while Hitoshi sat on a chair and slept in as well.


The next morning

Itami woke up with an headache and Hitoshi looking at him with a stern look on his face from his chair. It was unnecessary to say that he was pissed, but he didn't want to commit a murder so Itami got away this time. Itami then left to get to the Gate in time. Hitoshi stayed in his quarters for a while longer, before he walked to the mess and got a cup of coffee. He hadn't slept comfortable on the chair. As he left the hall Hitoshi saw a car parking in front of the building. In it the two nobles sat and Yanagida walked out, who approached him.

"Ah I see you are here Mori." Yanagida said as he. Hitoshi eyed the two nobles before he turned to Yanagida.

"Yanagida, what's the meaning of this? Why are our royal guests here?" Hitoshi asked.

"Good that you asked. Our general has granted our two ladies here to come with you to Tokyo. They will travel with Itami and you will be assigned as an extra security guard." Yanagida said with this sly voice. 'Seriously he could be Tsukiyama's not crazy human double.' Hitoshi thought.

"Yanagida can we talk for a second." he said as he grabbed Yanagida by the ear and dragged him behind the next Corner, so Bozes and Pina couldn't see them anymore. There he slammed both of his hands next to Yanagida's face so he was trapped between the ghoul and the wall. "Okay why are you giving this two girls a trip to Tokyo?" he asked.

"Our superiors think it would be a good start for a friendly relationship between our two countries." Yanagida said calmly.

"Oh right, because sending them into a war zone where those two will probably die is definately the best idea to start diplomacy between the empire and earth. You know as much as I do that Aogiri is still raging in Tokyo and fighting with the CCG. Let alone the fact that we send these two girls there is already a suicidal run, but that? They really must be out of their minds." Hitoshi said.

"Rory will come with you as well I have heard." Yanagida said. That made Hitoshi's eye twitch in annoyance. He didn't need to be reminded of that fact. "Well you will avoid the 9th, 10th and 11th wards of course and will mainly be at the 1rst and 2nd ward. After that you will go to Hakone I heard. So ghouls shouldn't be a problem. You are quite worried about these creatures. Say do you had bad experiences with them or something."

Hitoshi's eyes widened at this information. The first 4 wards were like a suicide trip for every ghoul. Even the Owl kept his/her kagune away from these regions. Not to mention all the Special class investigators there. Hitoshi retracted his hands from the wall. He turned away from Yanagida and only gave him a glare over his shoulder. "Yeah. I don't like talking about it. We can't guarantee for their safety Yanagida. If we should be attacked by ghouls the first rule is to run, because there could be no tomorrow. If it means to let one of us get eaten then it is like that, but don't expect us to bring all of them back if we should face one of them. Got it?" he said. Yanagida gulped and nodded. "Good." With that the two were walking back to the car. Hitoshi took a seat in front of Pina and Bozes, who were quite afraid, because Hitoshi was already back in his touch-me-and-you-die mode. They got to the others as they were about to get in the jeeps. Hitoshi wasn't suprised to see Kurabayashi and Akira there as well. Kurabashi was a close combat specialist after all and in an urban environment that was much more likely then a gun fight. Akira was very disciplined than Itami so Hitoshi could see why he was here. However he looked a bit unsure probably because of Rory.

"Sorry the paperwork took some time." Yanagida said as he stepped out the car. He then opened the door and let Bozes and Pina get out, while Hitoshi got out on the other side. Itami just gaped at the to nobles like he just heard that his ex Riza got pregnant. "Those two will accompanying you as well, in secret. Take care of them. Mori will also come with you to provide more safety."

"No one said anything about this, Yanagida!" Itami said angry, but Yanagida ignored him.

"Didn't you invited Rory here as well unofficially?" Hitoshi said as he walked past Itami.

"I already talked to the people on the other side. This is from Lieutenant General Hazama. He said to use it to show the girls a good time." Yanagida said as he gave Itami a envelop with money. "The princess is our g-between for the empire. There is no harm in showing her our country, right?" Hitoshi looked over to Yanagida at shot him again a serious glare before he stepped next to the other Team members.

"So you are coming with us Mori? Are you assigned for this as well?" Shino asked Hitoshi, who waved her off.

"Seems so. Well then let's go home shall we?" Hitoshi smiled to the other soldiers, which returned the gesture. They got in the cars as the gate opened.

"The land Itami came from..." Tuka muttered.
"I can't wait." commented Rory with glee.
"We are not there to have fun." said Leilei.
"I know that."

'Well at least one is acting like an adult'" Hitoshi sweatdropped at their comments. The car drove right into it. After a short time they were back in Tokyo. And it was winter. 'Oh that's why Tuka is dressed like that.' Hitoshi realized, but he didn't really cared for that. He had experienced worse then this and it was yet not that cold that you needed a scarf and a gloves to go outside. The others from the special region were totally awestruck by the sight of the skyscrapers. They stopped at the checkpoint and their papers were checked. Then a guy in a beige coat and spiky short brown hair walked up to them and talked to Itami.

"Lieutenant Itami. I'm Komakado, from the Intel HQ. I've been intructed to escort you." he said.

"You with Public Safety?" Itami asked. Hitoshi already didn't listen to them anymore. This guy probably worked for the gouvernment and with that he got his orders from someone above the JSDF. Komakado then listed the Events of Itami's career from his officer Training to the incidents in Ginza perfectly. 'He has informations about the education of Itami. Maybe he is from the secret sevice.' Hitoshi thought.

"So how the hell did you end up with an S?" he asked referring the Special Forces.

"EEEHH!" Kurabayashi however was still shocked even after Hitoshi told her back in Italica. 'She must really have avoided the truth and thought it was a joke.' Hitoshi sweatdropped. She then started to laaugh a bit before losing it again. "It can't be! Tell me that's not true! Someone like him's a ranger and Special Forces?!" she exclaimed.

"I already told you back there that he was part of both. Why are you freaking out now?" Hitoshi asked. Komakado laughed at this while Itami just gave her a flat look. "Well excuse me."

"You really are something special." Komakado said. "I've a lot of respect for some one who can play a slacker among a bunch of worker ants." he then saluted. 'Play a slacker?' Hitoshi thought.


"It' not true. I'm dreaming. It's impossible." Kurabayashi sobbed as they got into the bus that would drive them to the Senate. She really emitted already a dark violet Aura and sart in the back of the bus. Hitoshi gave her hankerchiefs to dry her tears but honestly he really was annoyed by her behaviour. He rubbed her back, but she only continued to sob like a Little child.

As the bus drove through the City Hitoshi looked around every Corner of the streets. He knew that some ghoul already knew that they were back and with that Aogiri probably knew as well. But here it was pretty unlikely to expect a ghoul attack.

"Look at all the people." Leilei said.

"Is this a market?" Asked Rory.

"No." said Hitoshi as he got away from Shino, who had enough hankerchiefs for the ride now. "Tokyo is just the capital of Japan and has over 9 millions inhabitants. Whole Japan has over 125 millions." Pina, Bozes, Tuka and Rory looked quite shocked a this Information while Leilei's eyes just widened a bit. "But the downside is that too many people already live on Earth. There should be already over 6 billions what do you think Akira?" Hitoshi asked.

"Could be. But the exact number is none by no one." Akira said dryly. The people from the Special Region already felt their heads spinning by those numbers.

Later they got something for lunch while Hitoshi just got a cup of coffee. He held a small box in front of him as his team mates looked at the box in couresty.

"What's in there Hitoshi?" Itami asked.

"One of the scales of the dragons we fought at Alnus." he said and opened it. Indeed it was the Long pointed scale Leilei has given him back there.

"You know we aren't allowed to bring something from the special region here." Itami said, while Hitoshi shrugged.

"And yet we bring three refugees and two nobles with us." Hitoshi smirked as he took a sip from his coffee.

"Oh is it for a special friend you have or a girlfriend?" Rory said as she had finished her food and now looked over Hitoshi's shoulder at the scale. Itami and Kurabayashi almost swallow their Food the wrong way as they heard the word girlfriend. Hitoshi however closed the box and put it back in his jacket.

"You really like gossipping, don't you? Well let's say it's for a friend, that isn't in the JSDF." Hitoshi said. Then however he gave his comrades a look. "What would it be so unlikely for me to have a girlfriend?" he teased as Kurabayashi blushed slightly and Itami scratched the back of his head.

"Well you never talked about your friends and stuff like that." he said.

"True enough." Hitoshi said. He saw Bozes and Pina eating with quite an Appetite. They probably didn't knew Food that was like that when they came from an medieval world like the Special Region. He envied those two because they could eat gyuudon while for Hitoshi that stuff tasted like shit. He and the rest of the team then got back in the bus and drove to the Senate building. Hitoshi was nervous to say at least. He would not enter the senate building of course. It was in the middle of the 1rst ward. No he would accompany Pina and Bozes with Akira to he secret Meeting somewhere else, but he was a bit jealous at Itami that he could Walking around like he wanted to and he had to look out for CCG investigators. He however could only see one of them rarely, which could mean 2 things. Either they were running low on personal or those were A-class investigators, the bane of nearly every ghoul. As they got out the bus Hitoshi gave his friend a thumbs up. "Knock them out."

Itami smiled at this, before he put a straight face on and walked with the others inside. Pina then asked nervously. "Aren't we going with them?"

"The our meeting will be elsewhere." Akira said. They drove for a while until they had reached the outer side of the 2nd ward. Pina and Bozes stepped out the bus with Hitoshi, Shino and Akira. They were guided to a conference room on a high floor as they met the ones they would speak to.

"I'm Shirayuri Reiko, advisor to the prime minister. This is Sugawara Kouji with the foreign ministry." the woman introduced them. Hitoshi scanned the two politicians from the hair in their head to the the boots. They seemed to be okay and unarmed. 'I really hope they have coffee here, because this is going to be so boring.' Hitoshi inwardly moaned. Political matters never interested him. If they would have he would have become one. Luckly for him he spotted a plate with a can of coffee, seven tea Cups and a few sticks with sugar, like hell he would use that stuff. 'YES!' he cheered inwardly as he looked at the clock on the wall. 14:20, now the first political discussion since the Ginza incident would begin. And Hioshi knew that the whole land sat now infront of the Screens of smartphones, computers and tvs to watch this event. Humans and ghouls alike.


Location: Anteiku

It was a calm day for the coffee shop. Now however a few more people came here, ordered some small snacks and coffee and sat on the tables to watch the discussion on the tv on the wall. The manager Yoshimura, himself was looking at the tv in the office as well together with Hinami. In fact the entire Anteiku staff was looking at the screen.


Location: ?

Shuu Tsukiyama sat in his chair also watching the event occur and hell he was excited like a child that was unwrapping a present on Christmas. He couldn't wait to see the People from the other side.


Location: ?

The same goes for the Aogiri tree. They had failed to free Colchea completely, but this was really interesting for them. Eto, Tatara, Noro and Touka's younger brother Ayato watched as well.

"Oh I ask myself what they will talk about. Aren't you excited Tatara, Ayato? We finally get to know a bit more about the other side of the gate. Oh that's so interesting." Eto said with childish glee one could think she would jump around like a rubber ball. She didn't even tried to ask Noro about such things. Tatara and Ayato however didn't answer as well. Especially those two had seen an interesting individual in the News after the Ginza incident. A Young private that became Sergeant of the JSDF and an old aquaintance of those two.


Location: ?

A person sat on his bed and stared at the tv with a creepy smile on his face. He started to laugh.

"Hahahahaha! So you finally came back Neuntöter. I can't see you, but I know you did! Oh I can't wait to use this little suprise I made for you " he said as he slid his Hand over the top of a suitcase. The man then took up a mobile phone. "The bird is back in the nest. Gear up. We go hunting." With that he hung up.


Location: Subway of Tokyo, 16:30

After 2 hours the two meetings were over and the JSDF began to move out. Hitoshi checked the social media websites and saw a real civil war breaking out over Leilei, Tuka and Rory. Honestly he watched the recording of the meeting in the Senate and couldn't help but inwardly laugh about the reactions of the people there. The Meeting with Pina went well too. Bozes and Pina now had a list of 6000 People Japan had imprisoned for their Actions in Ginza. Hitoshi could imagine that they were in a high security prison so the ghouls wouldn't get their Hands on them. Pina seemed to be optimistic when she shook Reiko's Hand. Of course she didn't want a war with Japan. He and his team had changed in regular clothes, for the first time in the whole time they had spendt in the special region, and walked in the subway. For Pina and Bozes it was like a trip to hell, before Hitoshi told them that it was a subterranean road system. He was sure he had just blown their minds with that information judging their faces.

"To build such structures above and beneath the earth..." Pina muttered.

"What else will await us here in Japan my majesty? " Bozes asked shocked. Hitoshi tempted to tell them about space stations and stuff like that, but hen they would probably lose their minds or something like that.

But Hitoshi was concerned the whole time. He acted calmly, but always looked out for investigators of the CCG. But that wasn't the only thing. He knew that a certain group of ghouls had watched the broadcast as well and he didn't liked it.

In the metro they met Itami and the rest.

"I look like I work at some Kind of shady Talent agency." Itami muttered.

"Actually you look like the idiot you are everyday of your life." Hitoshi said as he suddenly stood next to Itami, who nearly got an heart attack.

"Captain." Akira said as he and the rest came to them.

"Hey good work today." Itami said to his colleagues.

"I was panicking. I didn't knew we would use the bus as a decoy." Akira said.

"Well we met up so it's okay, right?" Itami said. Hitoshi facepalmed.

"At least writing a message when you entered the building would have helped. But you never were the foreseeing type of person." he commented.

"Eh?" was Itami's only Response. He and Hitoshi then turned around to Shino as she spoke up.

"They have been shaking ever since the Train went underground. They think we're taking them to the bottom of the earth." she said. To Hitoshi's suprise they really looked afraid.

"They never were in a subway can't blame them." Itami said. Then the Train shook a bit and Bozes fell against Akira.

"I'm sorry." She said blushing as she got a step back.

"No problem." replied Akira. Hitoshi smirked at this. 'Seems like someone got a girlfriend~' he thought. Before his mind changed the course about 180 degrees. 'Forever alone!' Well that wasn't essentially true. He was pretty confident that he would meet on day someone, but he couldn't imagine that anytime soon. His mind wandered to the people he had met. Touka was pretty but also something like little sister to him. That didn't changed the fact that he and Ayato once peeped on her. Hitoshi cringed at the thought. After that he and ayato had to remove all the shard out their bodies. Then there was Irimi. She was like a big sist t him like koma was his big brother. Myuute was now his student like he was once Yomo's. Mari was okay but he guessed she had already someone. Shino was a good friend of him and it was always fun to tease her, but this bond would shatter once she would know about his true identity like with evrryone in the JSDF. Rory was out of question. She was basically an old hag with the figure of a child. Leilei was 15 and looked younger then Hinami dammit. Tuka was pretty much an airhead, but at least she had the heart at the right spot. But how would their view on this world chabge once they knew about ghouls? Would they accept him? Would they hate him? Or would they get the next CCG investigator to kill him? Hitoshi sighed. When he would have known that women are such a complicated topic he would have asked Nishiki about it.

He then watched Itami as Rory clinged to him like Holding for her dear life.

"What's wrong Rory?" Itami asked.

"Hardy is controlling everything under the ground." Rory said.

"And who's Hardy?" Hitoshi said, who now stood next to Shino. 'Some one should tell her that there are no gods in this world.' he thought sweatdropping.

"He's bad news. About 200 years ago he told me to marry him and now he won't shut up about it. He might drag me off to be his bride!" Rory exclaimed.

"So why are you clinging to me again?" Itami asked.

"To keep him away! Itami doesn't like men, so if I saty like this he maybe won't come for me." Rory explained.

"No, even it's a lie this is what I want to say." Itami said. Then Rory said the most disturbing Thing Hitoshi had ever heard in his entire life.

"D-Don't get the wrong idea! It's just to keep him away. It's just camouflage!" Rory said in a very masculine voice while looking away blushing.

"Like that." said Itami.

"So creepy..." Shino said next to Hitoshi.

"Indeed..." he said.

As they arrived at Kasumigaseki they saw Kodamado standing there. Hitoshi was still suspicious about this old man. He wore this coat and they were at the 1rst ward. That never meant something good. However he couldn't feel any kind of killing intent from him. Hitoshi decided to stay on alert as long they hadn't left the 1rst, 2nd, 3rd or 4rth ward. They arrived at Ginza when the speakers declared that the subway would have problems with the wiring.

'Something is not right here. The wards around the CCG HQ are the most secured and modern quarters in this city. The chance of Problems in the traffic is nearly impossible, when it comes to ghouls. But what would Aogiri have from These guys. Wait what if it isn't Aogiri at all? What if some other nation has something to do with this?' Hitoshi thought.

Then someone just snatched Rory's halberd away. "Tch! Damn paparazzi." Hitoshi said. But then the man was crushed by the weight of the wrapped up weapon. Hitoshi looked a bit shocked at this. Her halbert looked anything but heavy and yet an adult human man just collapsed on the ground and didn't got that damn Thing of his Body. Komakado then walked up and tried to lift it up as well. Itami wanted to warn, but then...

*CRACK*

...his spine cracked in a way it shouldn't have.

5 minutes later an ambulance had grabbed the injured man and got him to the next Hospital.

"It isn't that heavy." Rory complained but the fact that both times someone else then Rory grabbed that thing proved somehow the opposite.
"No normal person could lift it up." Leilei said.

"For today head to the Ichigaya Assembly Hall..." Komakado said as the ambulance then closed the door and drove off. The JSDF members bowed in respect.

"So are we going there?" Tomitha asked.

"No, wait a second." Itami responded.

"We are not going to Akihabara..." Shino said.

Hitoshi was quiet for a minute as he thought about what happened and what was the matter now. He was still at the 2nd ward. It was holiday session and the CCG was all around him. It was very hard to know that they are that close and you had no chance to defend yourself without a nice picture of the cameras. But then in his mind clicked something as he looked at Itami who gazed in the city.

'Seems like we are going to visit her again.' he thought.

"HAHAHAHA! HAVE YOU SEEN HER FACE?" Eto was rolling on the ground and laughing her ass off about that diet member Mizuki. The Aogiri members had seen the broadcast with shock, empathy, a bit hunger and thanks to Rory with quite amusement. Hell even Tatara chuckled at her sharp tongue and it is scaring Ayato to no end. Because when Tatara is amused about something it can't be good.

The other members of Aogiri were talking about the Senate meeting.

"Have you seen this Tuka chick? If you ask me I would have loved to take a bite from her."

"And then such a figure. What do you think how she would look in regular clothes?"

"Like what? Tanktop and Jeans?"

"Hot."

"Definetly."

And this was just one of the topics they spoke about. Others planned to invade the special regions and others wanted to torture these guys until they would spill every secret they had with no resistence. Eto, Noro, Tatara and Ayato couldn't care less about this. When they would have a chance to overthrow the CCG at the 2nd ward they would have done so a long time ago. For now they had take cover from the failed attempt of Colchea.

"Well I will call the others. Let's see how far they are." Eto said as she walked away.

A group of 4 dark clad people walked through the tunnels. They were part of the american secret service and had managed to cut the subway wires, but now they had to walk the enntire way back to their base. The fire at the Assembly Hall was a success as well as they had seen in the news. Unfortunately the JSDF wasn't there. Anyway, they had entered a lone shut down subway station. They were outside the 4rth ward. One of them wanted to turn around the corner and go to the surface as suddenly a blue and red tail impaled him through the chest and threw him against a wall, back in the station. The other three men looked in horror at the Aogiri member that now stepped arount the corner and pointed his kagune right at them.

"I guess 3 would do the trick as well. But they didn't say that we should bring them back unharmed." He said behind his mask. He snapped his fingers and four other Aogiri members surrounded the scared agents. The may had q-bullets, but that didn't meant anything. The Aogiri members activated their kagunes as weel. The pistols and rifles in the agent's Hands looked pathetic compared to the blue koukaku blades, scaly red rinkaku tendrils and a pair of dark red ukaku wings. The bikaku ghoul then snapped his fingers once again and the others engaged the scared humans.

The coffee shop closed and the calm returned to the now empty halls. Touka and Nishiki cleaned up the dishes as Koma and Irimi took care of the tables.

"Well that was something wasn't it?" Koma said, pointing at the turned off TV.

"Doesn't happen every day." Nishiki said.

"But that woman Mizuki just wanted to make the JSDF look bad." Irimi said.

"Yeah, but this Rory was pretty tough. Wouldn't have thought to be that old." Koma laughted. Yoshimura, Yomo and Hinami walked down to the others as Hinami quickly started to help.

"That's nice of you Hinami, but you don't need to." Touka said.

"But I want to help." Hinami said.

"Unfortunately Hitoshi wasn't there." Koma said. "Would've liked to see how he would have reacted to that."

"The 1rst and 2nd ward however are filled with a lot of RC detectors and doves. He probably would've been discovered if he would've entered the building." Yoshimura said. Touka looked a bit worried now, while Nishio looked in the web.

"Man that are a loot of discussions going on because of this people. The views of the video of the meeting is already in the millions and the number is still increasing. And the comments are not so bad as well." he said.

"Well let's hope Hitoshi is fine wherever he is right now." Yoshimura said. The staff nodded and finished their work with cleaning up. They then walked upstairs to go to their rooms. Touka got in her room as well and started to practice for her School. Her mind however always drifted back in the past, when Hitoshi, Ayato and herself were children. Hitoshi liked to scare the Kirishima siblings with bugs and birds. Sometimes he had thrown bread Crumbs at the road to attract the Attention of pidgeons to scare Touka. After that however she beat him up. Yes, a memory of a good old time.

But the past is the past and now Touka herself had to watch after Hinami and the others, so they could continue with their 'normal' life. And the first step to do so was to go to school and get a job. And for that she needed a big load of good grades. So she started to learn even more intensive then before.

"Stupid Sergeant Dumbass." she muttered as she wrote down her notes.


Location: Ginza

"Achoooo!" Hitoshi sneezed.

"Bless you." Itami said.

"Thanks." replied the ghoul. 'What the hell? Did I ate something wrong? No can't be. Maybe someone is talking behind my back about me.' he thought.

Hithoshi and the group had walked for about 15 minutes before they had reached a small house at the Ginza district. Hitoshi tried his best to look normal, but he still looked around if there would be a investigator or a detector or anything else that could somehow tell the CCG that he was here. The first 4 wards were dominated by the CCG and that meant that it was basically suicide to enter them. And here he stood with 3 other members of the JSDF, two nobles, a magician Girl, a demigoddess and an introverted elf at one of the most secured wards in tokyo. He had walked the way here a few times now and knew where the detectors for abnormal RC levels were, but the CCG had the annoying habit to move them around. Luckily they had not encountered anything like that.

They arrived at a familiar door and the 2 otakus weren't suprised to see the light of a PC still burning. Itami had bought something to eat for the group since they had nothing today. Well for the ghoul it was a disgusting stench, but humans and animals seemed to like it. Itami then grabbed a key from his pocket and unlocked the door.

"Does Itami live here?" Akira asked.

"Something like that." replied Hitoshi.

Itami then opened a door. "At least turn up a heater. It's cold in here." he complained as he put the back with the warm fast Food down.

"F-Food." a woman with glasses and short brown hair crawled like a toddler to Itami and put her head in the basket. "Ah. So warm." she murmured.

"Guys come in." Itami called the group in but only Hitoshi walked in.

"Lieutenant. Who is that?" Akira asked as he and the rest peeked around the Corner of the door.

"Oh that's... my ex-wife." Itami said.

"Ex?" Shino asked.

"Wife?" Akira finished shocked.

"EEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH?!" said all of them (minus Itami and Hitoshi) as Risa looked at the visitors as she drooled over the corner of her mouth..

'Oh man this is going to be a very long night.' Hitoshi thought.


And cliffhanger. Phew, it took a long time to write this all and rewrite this and etc., but yeah. Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed it and maybe I got your interest peaked for the next chapters. Tell me your opinions in the reviews. So our friends are now back in Tokyo and just met Risa. We are slowly coming to the end of Root A and the first season of Gate. I'm wondering how I will write the next chapters, because there is not much time left and the situation is a bit tense. I'm also excited to see how the Tokyo Ghoul: RE anime is going to be, because all we got yet is that sneak peek. Also I'm working on intros and maybe outros for my stories. Once it's finished I will upload it to the end of an upcoming chapter.

Anyway, I hope to see you again when the next chapter comes out. Till then take care and have a nice day.

Don Orbit, over and out.
