Chapter 9
"Kaneki."
Kaneki looked up the purple haired man, knowing he awaited an answer.
"Tsukiyama, I-"
He was immediately cut off by a harsh knock on his door. He slightly jumped at the loud banging, unaware that Tsukiyama looked annoyed. Kaneki looked apologetic then walked towards the door.
He looked through the peephole, and was a little confused to see a badge shown through the peephole. Gently, he opened the door to face the man.
"Good afternoon, young man. My name is Amon, and I am a detective. " The tall man spoke.
"H-hello, sir. How can I help you?"
"I'd like to ask you some questions if you know a man named Tsukiyama Shuu." The man said showing him a picture of him. Kaneki looked shocked that a picture was presented. He glanced backward just a second to see Tsukiyama behind the door holding up his finger to his lips, gesturing him.
Kaneki looked back, and shook his head.
"He's a regular at the cafe that I work in, but other than that I don't know much about him." Kaneki whispered slightly.
Amon looked skeptical, and tried to glance behind Kaneki, but he blocked his view.
"Is there something you wanted to know about him?" Kaneki asked wondering what this was all about. Amon stared at him hard knowing he was lying to him. He knew he saw Tsukiyama enter the home, but since he has no warrant he can't barge in.
He took a step back and shook his head no.
"Sorry to bother you it was my mistake. Here is my card. Call me if you have any problems with him." He said handing him the card. Kaneki glanced down once, and nodded. He quickly closed the door. Taking in a deep breath he glanced at the frowning Tsukiyama with suspicion.
Tsukiyama glanced at the card, and then plucked it from his fingers causing him to gasp. He stared at it for a moment then started to rip it apart with a sneer.
"You won't call him, okay Kaneki? He's someone you shouldn't get involved with." Tsukiyama murmured. Kaneki looked at him questioningly.
"Who is he? And why did he come looking for you, Tsuki?" Kaneki asked. Tsukiyama then smiled, and pulled him close.
"It is nothing your pretty head has to worry about. We just have some bad history with each other. It seems he can't get over it… pathetic." He whispered the last part thinking Kaneki didn't hear, but he did and he was very suspicious. Kaneki wanted answers, but he knew he wouldn't get them.
Tsukiyama's phone suddenly started ringing. He was about to ignore it, until he saw the caller id. He quickly picked up.
"What? Make it quick, it's my day off." He said coldly to the other person on the line.
Kaneki could only hear mumbling, but from what was being said, it was important.
"What? That's not supposed to be until tomorrow night!" Tsukiyama began to get angry. Kaneki started to worry.
"So it's been moved to today? Right now? ...Fine. But you owe me for this." And with that, he hung up.
"I'm so sorry, darling but I have to go. Something came up." He said in a defeated, yet sad tone.
"Oh, okay. Are you doing anything tomorrow?" Kaneki asked, eyes filling up with hope.
"I'll just have to call you when I can, love. I'm really sorry." he replied.
Kaneki felt upset, but became happy after Tsukiyama pulled him close for a kiss.
"Enjoy the rest of your day, mon amour." He heard Shuu say as he walked out and closed the door after him.
Kaneki's sadness turned into curiosity.
"I wonder what was so important.." he mumbled.
Shuu cursed himself as he walked away from the apartment. Why all of a sudden was his next appointment changed to today right at this moment?
He dialed the person he was on the phone with previously and simply said, "I'm on the way."
After a few moments of walking, he got into a car that was waiting for him on the curb. He got inside, and found one of his 'business partners'.
"So please explain why the appointment was moved to today, Jason." He said, not looking at his partner. He was pale, muscular, and blonde.
"Don't I warrant a hello, Shuu?" He said in a fake sad tone. Tsukiyama did not respond. Jason sighed.
"Tch, the woman said she would have her payment by the original date but we got news that she is fleeing the city because she refuses to pay. So we located her at the train station, waiting for her escape. So we decided to cut her off right there." Jason explained.
"Hm. And why did you call me of all people? I hope you know I was quite busy." Shuu said in annoyed tone. He was so close to embracing Kaneki.
"Because you're good with the punishments, is that wrong?" Jason replied.
"Please, I know you like to chop off all your client's fingers and toes just for the fun of it." Shuu said in a disgusted tone.
Jason let out a large laugh causing Tsukiyama to be annoyed with him.
"You are right, yes you are, but with you… you love the sight of blood. You can be quite carnivorous when you are near someone so succulent. It that why you follow around that little black haired boy like a puppy."
Tsukiyama quickly pulled out a knife holding it against his neck making him stop laughing. He looked at Tsukiyama with a glare.
"What do you think you are doing?" Jason growled.
"I would shut your mouth about him. I don't to hear anything from your filthy mouth!" Tsukiyama snapped.
The both continued to stare at each other until another henchman came out.
"Boss she is coming this way."
Tsukiyama removed the knife and put it away in the holder. He glanced at Jason one more time with disgust before looking away.
"Let's get this damn job over with." He said walking in front. It was time to finish the job.
The woman didn't notice the men getting out of the car. They acted like average businessmen that
were done with work at the office for the day. But after a bit of distance, they began to follow her.
After a few blocks, the woman finally noticed the group of men following her. Suddenly realizing who they were, she began to ran.
"Scatter!" Shuu shouted as the two other men ran in a different direction. He planned to chase her while his two partners cut her off in order to corner her.
The woman began to cry, knowing what her fate was going to be for not paying. Maybe she shouldn't have come to them in the first place. She ran as fast as she could, constantly looking for a way to escape Shuu's chase.
She began to slow down, and found herself in an abandoned building. She tried to run back to leave, but quickly saw the two henchmen blocking the way, with Tsukiyama walking slowly towards her.
"Please no! Don't hurt me!" She cried out, falling to her knees in exhaustion.
"Sorry, dear. You thought you could escape from us, but you can't. My men are always watching our clients. We knew you were going to escape. Now face your punishment." He said in a sickening sweet tone.
"I'm begging you! I have a family that needs me!" She screamed.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk. You came to us for a loan, with no money to pay it back, and not considering your family, knowing that we do not take our business lightly? How selfish of you." Tsukiyama replied, grinning.
"Please!" The woman begged, becoming hysteric.
Shuu pulled out a lighter as Jason walked over, taking out a bottle of gasoline to give to Tsukiyama.
The woman's eyes began to widen as she realized how her life was going to be ended.
"Don't do this! Just shoot me please please please!" She whimpered, knowing that begging wasn't going to do anything to change their minds.
"We have been after you for almost a month. Enough is enough." The purple haired man said in an exasperated tone.
He didn't wait to pour the gasoline over her head, watching her try to spit it out as it got in her mouth. She didn't even notice the lighter being lit as she was trying to get the gasoline off her. It was suddenly thrown at her, bursting her into flames.
She screamed like a madman trying to stop the flames, but she was too weakened by the excruciating pain from the fire. After a few moments her screams stopped, and her body thudded to the floor, still burning.
Tsukiyama then began to chuckle and those chuckles then turned into hysteric laughter. He laughed for another moment, before coming back to reality.
The two henchmen put her out, and called for another henchmen to collect her body and evidence.
"You two take care of this. I have something to take care of." Shuu said to his men. They nodded and waited for their assistance.
So now we're getting deeper into what Tsukiyama really does for work, and why did a detective randomly show up at Kaneki's house? Stay updated with the story and find out! Until next time!
