Flashback

"Are you hurt?" A dark figure emerged from the shadows, his muscular arm stood outstretched in front of the frail being that lay before him.

Kae hesitantly tilted her head upwards so she was directly facing the unknown man. Despite how severe her wounds were she managed to suppress the screams of agony that threatened to rip out of her throat.

"G-Go away." Her voice came out raspy and strained, as if she was dehydrated. The man however disregarded her command, dropped his arm back to the side of his body, and began moving closer towards her.

His eyes narrowed into slits as he saw a mutilated corpse sit in front of the white haired girl. However he managed to refrain from flinching at the grotesque sight.

"What happened?" He questioned.

"...I think I've killed him." Came her weak response.

The body belonged to a bulky middle aged man with slicked blonde hair, he had some rather sharp features by the looks of it, his yellow cargo pants were ripped into shreds just like his shoulder. There was a huge chunk of flesh missing from his neck down to his shoulder, and it seemed as if the girl was responsible for it.

"My name is Kaname. I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to know what happened here. Can you tell me?" He asked with a calm voice.

Kaname's burgundy eyes scanned the area, there was crimson liquid splattered across every inch of the place, causing Kaname to become increasingly unstable due to his unsated blood lust.

"I have to leave... I need to save my friends." Kae hurled herself back from the corpse and hastily stood up on the checkered floor.

Crack

Kae bought down her index finger causing a sickening noise to emit from the action.

"I'm afraid you can't do that." Kaname's voice turned cold, his eyes examined Kae suspiciously however Kae just stood there waiting for him to move.

"And why is that?" She questioned him just as coldly.

Kaname allowed his eyes to roam around his surroundings for a second time in hopes of figuring out what could of led to such a mess, but what he saw was not something he would of ever predicted.

His burgundy eyes locked with the sight of decapitated fingers and toes, buckets upon buckets of flesh that was drowning in blood sat not too far from him. He moved his eyes to the girls fingers and saw rings of torn flesh around each of them, her nails also held a dark scarlet color, they looked as if they were coated in blood.

'Could it be that the fingers belong to her?' Kaname questioned, the sight in front of him was truly disgusting, he had never witnessed a sight so vile.

"Were you held prisoner here?" Judging by the shackles wrapped around her wrists and ankles it was quite obvious what the answer was.

"Are you a member of Aogiri?" Kae's voice suddenly held a much darker malice behind it.

Kaname had heard all about Aogiri and what it was, the news stations in Tokyo were filled with stories about the uncontrollable ghoul organization that terrorized multiple wards and took over multiple others.

Vampire children were taught about other species apart from humans who resided on earth, ghouls were one of them. However there was always a small part of Kaname that doubted their existence, mostly since he had never encountered one before. But he stood corrected.

"No, I was actually sent here to help you." It seemed Kaien was friends with ghouls as well as hunters. Kaien requested Kaname to help out one of his dear friends, Yoshimura, who needed his assistance in saving one of his employees. Kaname accepted grudgingly, he did owe Kaien a favor for protecting Yuki when he wasn't able to.

"Who sent you?" Kae asked, she still didn't believe anything he said.

"Yoshimura. I believe you're familiar with him." Kaname answered.

Kae's eyes widened slightly before retreating back to their regular form. It seemed she was familiar with the name, and it seemed she was the one who he was sent to retreat.

"What are you? You're not a human, but judging from your scent you're not a ghoul either." The question caught Kaname off guard but he still managed to remain composed on the outside.

Kaname wanted to smirk at how smart the young ghoul was, she was much more different than the girls at cross academy, it was refreshing.

"I'm a vampire." This time Kae didn't try and mask her surprise.

'Bullshit.' She thought.

"AAH!" Before Kae had time to question anything, she flung her right arm over her abdomen and grasped at her shirt, fresh blood seeped through the thin material indicating that her wounds were far from healed.

She collapsed onto her knees due to the pain, Kaname immediately rushed to her side and gently laid her across his arms.

"Rest." He whispered the word into her ear before picking her up bridal style and carrying her out of the room. He disregarded the mutilated body on the floor and instead focused all of his attention onto the small being that laid in his arms.

A/N I know Juuzou is the one who killed Jason but I really wanted to make Kae/Kaneki to be the one who killed him, I know this isn't how the story line was originally but I had to change it to fit with the new plot line. Anyways thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed the new chapter! :)
