Chapter 12

When You Wish For Death

{A/N}: Delta- In the manga, they already suspect Kaneki Ken to be eyepatch. In the last chapter, I mentioned Arima was looking through the files for Eyepatch. It was in those files that Kaneki Ken was suspicious. And also missing. I can't tell if you like the story or hate it. o.O

Dalia- Lo siento. Yo pensaba que iba a intentar algo diferente. Deje que la chica salvar al chico este momento.

Kaneki Ken was restrained, sitting in the corner of the CCG van. Arima has escorted him there, and is even riding in the passenger seat. He had no doubts that Arima was going to stick to him like glue. "Hey, Shinigami-san? Can you hear me?" He called. Ken sighed when he didn't answer. Where were they going? He felt cramped in this small space and these tight restraints. And then, the van came to a halt.

Arima got out of the van, shutting the door rather loudly. He went around the back and opened the pair of doors. "Centipede. Get up."

Kaneki looked over at the feared Shinigami. "But I'm rather comfortable." He grinned.

An unamused smirk played onto the Shinigami's lips. "Come on."

Ken sighed and got up, walking over to the edge and jumping down. They had arrived at Cochlea. "This is..the 23rd ward?" He looked around. "Oh.. this must be the ghouls hell."

"It is now your hell. You are a ghoul, after all." Arima replied emotionlessly. He guided Ken to the gates, pushing him through the RC scanner. It..didn't go off. Arima was shocked, to say the least. He quickly pulled a normal pocket knife from his pocket and stabbed Kaneki's arm. The knife shattered, not even grazing his skin. "You are obviously a ghoul. Why is it the RC scanner doesn't read it?"

Kaneki looks back at him, frowning at the hostility. "I am Kaneki Ken. That's really it." He said as he continued towards the entrance.

Arima frowned as well, walking beside him. "As you know, your restraints are quinque steel. Don't try to escape."

"You drugged me with RC suppressants not even 10 minutes ago." Ken pointed out, looking around the inside of the building. "Interesting..very..white."

"No more talking." Arima murmured. He began talking to a guard nearby, occasionally shooting a look at Kaneki. The guard nodded along, motioning them to follow. Kaneki had no choice when Arima pushed him forward.

Down the hallway, there were rooms. No windows, just white padded rooms. Kaneki entered his, his new home. There was a bed, a sink, and a toilet. That's all. It seemed sad.

Arima watched him look around. "You aren't scheduled for disposal yet. As long as you are useful, you will live. I will come back tomorrow. You will tell me anything you know about the One Eyed King."

Ken looked back at him and gave him a sad smile. "I'd never to do that. I don't betray my friends." Is all he could say before Arima shut the door.

Back at the Aogiri base. Eto was surrounded by her most trusted. Noro, Tatara, and Ayato. "The CCG took Ken-kun..The raid will be pushed aside for now." Eto finally said. "He is too important for that plan. We will go on a retrieval mission. Knowing Ken, he won't shed a drop of information on me or Aogiri, which will end his life rather quickly. He will face worse torture than Aogiri can ever provide a ghoul. We must come up with something immediately!" She demanded.

Tatara looked up at Eto, who was sitting on a ledge above them. "Eto. He is one ghoul, who is not that important. He can get out himself."

Eto glared down. "You dare question me, Tatata? He is necessary!" She snapped. "One Eyed ghouls are few and far between. He is also precious to Kanou. We will retrieve him!"

Ayato sighed. "Shitty Kaneki. What a pain." The blue haired boy frowned. Him and Touka were so similar, it actually kind of bothered Eto.

"We can not attack without a plan in place, and the proper force. We will use the thing made from Tou-san. He hasn't been fed in months, so he should be rather happy." Eto grinned. Her one kakugan showed through the mask.

Returning to Cochlea, Kaneki was sitting on the padded floor, against his bed. He was humming softly to himself, not even looking when the door opened.

A man walked in. He was rather tall, and he seemed arrogant. "Centipede-kun, yes? I am Dr. Yamato. It is very nice to meet you."

Kaneki looked at the man skeptically. This man? A doctor? 'He smells like cigarettes.. and his eyes lifeless.' He thought to himself. "Go away. I already said I am not telling you anything."

"Oh ho ho, my dear boy. I am not here for that. I am here for different information. Like how you got through the RC scanner. Won't you tell me?" Dr. Yamato tilted his head. It was obvious he was getting irritated. To him, Kaneki was no more than a snot nosed brat.

"Who knows. Glitch in the machinery maybe?" Kaneki taunted.

This only upset the doctor more. He glared down through his glasses at Kaneki, striding over and kicking the boy onto his side, stomping his foot on his head and leaving it there. If Kaneki wasn't restrained, he would of ended this guy's life there. "Now listen here you little brat. You really think I want to waste my valuable time of a kid like you? Bullshit. Tell me, or I will make you talk."

"Have at it." Was all Kaneki said as the doctor yelled for guards, stepping off of him.
