Chapter 9: Like any proud mother would

"That witch!" Asami angrily clenched her fists "she knew you were a half ghoul but still looked after you like you were her own. She wouldn't hand you over to me. Fortunately on the same day she raided our hideout I deliberately asked Eto to kill and eat her"

"What?!"

"Tetsuya, the reason you love Akira is because she resembles that stinking witch of your godmother" Asami laugh maniacally.

"Alright that's enough from you!" His fists shaking from anger. "Akira and I are going to be married tomorrow night and I can't have you destroy that."

"Tetsuya, please don't do what I think you're going to do!" Akira begged.

Tetsuya turns around, giving Akira a warm and bright smile. "Don't worry about me Akira, besides I can't keep my bride waiting"

"...please! I don't want CCG to take you from me. You're all I ha-umpf"

Akira's word were silenced by a Tetsuya's passionate kiss on her lips, then slightly backed away.

"I can neither live with you nor without you" Tetsuya quotes "I don't think that applies to us at all"

Tetsuya transformed into the kakuja form of a demon cat, pouncing on the walls as he digs his sharp kagune claws on the wall securing his position as if he was a gecko, his blood curdling screams shook the foundation of the building. Lunging towards Asami and Eto.

"If I remember correctly, cats prey on owls don't they" Tetsuya snickered in his kakuja form.

Tetsuya turns to pounce on Eto and turns her to her back and locks her down, with weight on her, securing her position with his hind legs and paws, bends over and begins to feast on the remnants of her kagune, chewing off her head as Asami watched. Asami backed away, only to a wall behind her.

"Nowhere to run now!" Tetsuya digs his claws into her.

"Please...no! Tetsuya-"

Just when Tetsuya was about to rip her into pieces, Arima shows up holding another T-Human, this time it was stronger than it used to be. Shoots Asami in the chest.

"I can't have you killing you own mother, Tetsuya" Arima said, his face completely emotionless "But I can't pardon your crimes this time Tetsuya"

"Arima I understand" Tetsuya sighed "but please let marry Akira tomorrow night. I can't keep my bride waiting after all. You can do what you want afterwards"

"It's agreed"

"Thank you Arima!"

Fast forward to the day of their Wedding

"I know pronounce you husband and Wife. You may kiss the bride" The lawyer stated.

Tetsuya wrapped his hands around Akira's hips and pressed his lips against his and swung her around.

"I love you, Akira" Tetsuya blushed, his heart racing inside his rib cage.

"I love you too, Tetsuya" Akira blushed too.

After the wedding every left their seat while Akira and Tetsuya returned to their new apartment as Akira began to cry.

"I don't want to leave" Akira sniffed "I can't survive without you"

"You'll be fine my love" Tetsuya reassured her with a passionate kiss on the lips, then slightly back away "I'm only gone for 4 weeks. Arima said he'd help me control my inner beast"

The two begin to loose logic from intoxication as Tetsuya pins Akira down on the bed, embracing him until both began to strip, passionately smacking his lips on her's as the two tightly embraced each other.

Akira returned to CCG as Special Class Investigator Mado, but while on a contract mission with several other to track a new ghoul raiding Ward 1. She collapses on the floor as she thought she collapsed from exhaustion. The last thing she heard was her colleagues running up to her, shouting her name over and over again.

"Take her to the CCG hospital ward" Akira heard one of the investigators muffled sound.

Beep...Beep...Beep

Akira woke up to the rhythmic sounds of the heart rate monitor, as she stared at her fellow investigators.

"Why didn't you tell us you were carrying a baby inside?" One of the investigators asked.

"We heard from the doctor that you collapsed because of work stress was affecting the baby"

"I'm contacting Tetsuya, he needs to know about it"

"I don't need to bother him with something like this" Akira said, stroking her belly where the baby is growing "If I want to raise this child I have to eat human flesh"

Akira remembered that Tetsuya told her that he stacked human flesh in the food when he couldn't clench his hunger. She returned home on the 4th week, the day that her husband was due to be home.

Tetsuya rattled the keys and unlocked the door, and walked through the dimly lit corridor, he heard meat churning sounds coming from the kitchen that made him cringe and uncomfortable. Slightly opening the metallic kitchen door, he caught a glimpse of Akira sitting in the dark with only the fridge light to illuminate her. Tetsuya walked closer and looked Akira in utter shock.

"Akira? Is that you?" Tetsuya whispered.

Akira turned around with tears on her cheek, and the meat she happened to be churning on was a piece of human flesh.

"What do you think you're doing!" Tetsuya quickly grabbed the meat away from Akira shoving it away from her as her hand reached over Tetsuya shoulder trying to grab the piece of meat.

"Tetsu Now we're both monsters"

"Akira!" Tetsuya comforted her with his hands on her shoulder "tell me what happened!"

"I have to eat it so our baby can be born" Akira cried.

"Why didn't you tell me! I could have rushed here"

"This is all your fault" Akira shoved Tetsuya.

"...My fault?..."

"If we weren't so drunk that we did it, I wouldn't be pregnant"

"I'm just glad you're safe" Tetsuya sighed and hugged Akira. "You really should have called me"

"I didn't want to bother you" Akira looked away.

"Listen, You're Akira and I don't want you to degrade yourself to eat human flesh. I'll think of a way to produce synthetic human flesh with infused RC cells. It was thanks to you that I could eat normal food"

"Soon it will be the three of us!" Akira rubbed her belly like a proud mother.

"I'm glad" Tetsuya smiled.
