WARNING! WARNING!

Taking his scalpel, Kanou cut precisely into Doshi's lower abdomen, knowing this would be the last time this man could ever be hurt by an normal steel instrument.

Doshi's head was pounding, as awoke. He blinked his eyes slowly trying to adjust to the bright lights. He tried to look around but realized he was still strapped down. He could feel that his shirt had been removed from his body but other than that nothing seemed different. He leaned his head back down, still having no idea where he was or what that doctor had done to him.

He heard footsteps coming directly behind him and he strained himself to see who it was. A face appeared above him. It was a man, but not the doctor that was in the room earlier. No, this man had light blue eyes and dark green hair. He wore a calm, collected expression and gazed at Doshi with keen observation, possibly searching for something.

Doshi stared up at the man with confusion as to what he was looking for. The green haired man seemed to be gazing at Doshi's abdomen with great interest.

"Who are you?" A puzzled Doshi asked.

The man looked down at him with a cold expression but didn't answer. "You're Keeliro Doshi, right?"

"I am, but who are you?" Doshi repeated, getting slightly frustrated.

"Who I am is not important right now Doshi. What you are is of great importance to me though." The man's eyes returned back to Doshi's abdomen. "I don't suppose you know what Dr. Kanou has done to you yet, but you will. It'll will be my job to look after you."

"What do you mean? What'd he do to me?" Doshi asked, he could feel fear of the unknown growing within him.

The mysterious man's blue eyes turned back to Doshi's, "You're a ghoul now Doshi."

"What? How is that possible?" Doshi did not believe what he had just heard.

"Simple, Dr. Kanou transplanted ghoul kakuhou into your body, giving you ghoul DNA. Your body will slowly begin it's adjusting. Just know that I am in charge of security and protecting Kanou's experiments while they're out and about. You're a new model though, so I'm not sure he'll let you go just yet." The man explained. "As for this 'Cannibal' you're speaking of, he's the one who brought you here. Something about making your confrontations more interesting as you are too weak as of now. He seems like an enemy I would like to face."

Doshi's fear was replaced with complete emptiness. Him, a ghoul? How could this happen? Was this the Cannibal's plan from the beginning? Doshi hated that monster, and his hatred for him would only continue to grow.

"Release my restraints. I'm leaving." Doshi stated steely calm.

"I'm afraid only Dr. Kanou can do that." The man's face disappeared from Doshi's view and he heard footsteps receding from him. "I'll be back to speak with you again tomorrow Doshi, until then try to speak with the doctor about your current state." The sound of a heavy metal door opening echoed from behind Doshi. "I'm sure he'd be more than willing to explain if you're cordial with him." Doshi heard the door close and he knew the nameless man had gone from the room.

Doshi closed his eyes and pictured the man in his head: light blue eyes, dark green hair, very calm, almost too calm. Doshi was sure he had seen the man somewhere before, but where? He racked his brain for an answer but none came, all he could think about was what the man had said. Had he really been surgically turned into a ghoul? How was that possible? Wouldn't his human body resist the ghoul part and his immune system kill it off? Unless… The ghoul organ donor had the same type of blood he does. Doshi had the rare AB blood, was it possible the ghoul had the same? It must've been or else he wouldn't be a ghoul right now.

Doshi clenched his fists. This was the Cannibal's doing! It was that monster's fault Doshi was like this! But he wouldn't ever fall to a ghoul's level and eat humans, he couldn't. Maybe he should become like the Cannibal and eat other ghouls? Would that be the way to survive this new hell of a life? Doshi pondered on this, perhaps he was strong enough to battle the Cannibal and win with his new ghoul body. Doshi thought he could do it and there was nothing going to stop him.

He was deep in thought when the door opened and another person entered the room. Doshi couldn't tell who it was but he heard the sound of skin hitting metal not to far to his left. He turned as best he could to see and he saw someone standing with their back towards him. He looked past the person to see two hands, laying on the table. The person moved away from the table and Doshi was able to see two battered and bruised arms laying on the table. They were both covered with blood and bent and broken at odd angles. Doshi's eyes widened in horror.

"What's wrong Doshi? Aren't you hungry?" A familiar voice teased him.

He looked at the person by the table to see the masked ghoul he had come to hate. The Cannibal stood but a few feet away from him and still Doshi could do nothing.

"You bastard!" Doshi shouted, struggling against his restraints. "What have you done to me?"

The Cannibal just stood there, staring at him through the eyes of his mask. "Don't worry Doshi, you're one of us now. You get to finally know what's it's like to live like an animal on the run, being hunted for simply trying to survive. Enjoy your new life, it'll be great." And with that the Cannibal left the room, leaving the two severed arms on the table.

Doshi stared at them intently, a enticing aroma reached his nose and it made him sick. He knew it was the human arms the Cannibal had left in the room. That only made Doshi hate him more. He would make sure to kill the bastard himself once he got out of here! He shouted and screamed as he struggled against the belts holding him down. Trashing against his restraints, desperate to get free and give chase to the destroyer of his life. He longed for it, the day when he could kill the Cannibal.

The moment Ryuu had left the room he heard Doshi begin to scream and shout curses at him. He smirked, knowing he had the former investigator right where he wanted him. Ryuu walked away from the door and down hall, on his way out he passed by a young man leaning against the wall. He had light blue eyes and dark green hair and was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Over the t-shirt the guy had a hoodie with an image of the Joker (from Batman) on it.

Ryuu's electric blue eyes clashed with the young man's light blue ones. They only held the gaze for a moment as Ryuu walked by. Ryuu could tell he was a human and no doubt the nameless man knew who Ryuu was. It made him feel good about himself to a certain degree. People knew the Cannibal and what he was responsible for: the takedown of the eleventh ward.

The mysterious green haired man watched as the Cannibal walked across street. A few cars sped by and the ghoul had vanished. The man smiled to himself, things were certainly getting interesting here in Tokyo.

A mysterious woman appeared to Doshi in his dreams. He determined that she was the ghoul who's kakuhou he now had inside of him. She was very beautiful and she enticed Doshi to give up on humanity and feast on the two arms his adversary had so graciously given him. Doshi would always argue with the women, stating he would never eat a human but he'd gladly kill and eat a ghoul.

Usually the woman would leave him be after he said that but after two days of not eating and Dr. Kanou constantly stabbing him in his eye, he grew hungry. Doshi didn't know why the doctor wouldn't let him go but he decided he wasn't going to stay here anymore. His thoughts were all bottled up with his emotions. Unable to release anything Doshi finally lost to his hunger and let out a roar. He ripped his arms through the belts holding down his arms and clawed at the restraint around his neck. He tore through the leather and pulled himself up. Kicking his legs with all his force his legs shot through the restraints, leaving them ripped in half and useless. He ran over to the table and gorged himself on the two arms with gusto. Once all the meat was gone there was nothing but sticky, gnawed on bone. Doshi threw them from him in disgust of what he had just done but he had already began to feel better. His stomach no longer aching with hunger pains.

He turned to the door, knowing that was his way out. He stood up from the bloody mess he had made from the arms and walked out of the room. He looked both ways down the hallway, not sure which to take. He sniffed the air, with his new ghoul senses he could smell all manner of things. He smelled the enticing fragrance of blood but he chose to ignore that. He smelled humans and ghouls everywhere in both directions. But to the left he could smell a sort of freshness, so he headed to his left.

He was rewarded when he reached a door, pressing it open he exited the building and entered the night's darkness. Feeling a cold breeze blow he looked down at himself.

He realized he had no shirt on and that he was covered in blood. Stitches and scabbed over wounds covered his body and his pants were torn and frayed. He worn no shoes on his feet and had no socks on either. But his appearance and attire weren't going to stop him from finding the Cannibal.

He ran across the empty street and into the night that had fallen on Tokyo. Doshi needed to find out where he was and it would be easier to do so once he noted the shops and buildings in the ward. An odd scent reached his nose and he went to seek it out. He ran down another empty street and came across a partially open manhole. Doshi approached with caution, looking around before he lifted the heavy manhole cover and looked inside. He expected to see a sewer system but instead saw a large tunnel which was dimly lit. Deciding he had nothing better to do, Doshi went down the ladder and closed the opening behind him.

Doshi dropped down, to the floor of the tunnel and the sound echoed throughout. It was an odd place and it reeked of ghouls down here. Doshi knew what this place was, it was the infamous twenty-fourth ward; said to be the place where the One-Eyed Owl hails from. That made Doshi shudder. He had never been in the tunnels before, nor had he ever wanted to. This was an abhorrent place even to ghouls and Doshi didn't want to spend more time here than he had to. But he needed to get away from the Dr. Kanou and the mysterious, green haired man as quick as possible so that he could find the Cannibal again.

Voices echoed from up ahead.

"I can't believe this bitch actually tried to run." A gruff voice said.

"I know. I guess we can have our fun then eat her." A sleazier voice laughed.

"Let's do it." The deeper voice agreed.

A muffled woman's cry forced Doshi to break into a run to save her. He rounded a corner and saw two men holding down a helpless, bound and gagged woman. One man was large and muscular, with a tank top on and camouflage pants on. He was bald and had piercings in his ears, eyebrows, lips and nose. The other man was tall and lanky with a upturned nose and very squinted eyes. He had on baggy shorts and a shirt that was much too short, making it look like he had on a crop top. He had a tall mohawk and facial tattoos. The woman's hands were tied and her clothes were ripped and torn. She had a rag tied around her face and stuck in her mouth.

They must've heard him because all they people turned and looked at the lone investigator turned ghoul.

"Who the hell are you?" The tall guy asked.

"My name is Doshi. What do you think you're doing to that woman?" Doshi asked calmly.

"What's it look like smart guy? Rape then eat her." The muscular guy turned back to the woman, his hands rubbing up her thigh.

Doshi was quick, quicker than he had ever been. He didn't know how he was going to fight these guys without his quinques but he thought he could tap into his new ghoul abilities and summon a kagune. He kicked the larger man down the tunnel.

"What the-" Doshi cut the tall, skinny guy off with other foot. Sending him down the tunnel with his companion.

The two men stood, only knocked back a few feet from the woman, who Doshi stood in front of. He felt an unfamiliar pain from his lower back. He growled as he felt something pierce his skin, he knew what it was though, a kagune.

He didn't know it but one of his eyes had changed to a ghoul's kakugan while the other had remained a normal human eye. He clenched his fists and glared at the two men, his rage was growing. He had hunted and killed ghouls since he was eighteen and now he was twenty-nine. He wasn't going to let these two get away. With these new ghoul abilities Doshi could actually hunt them down and blend in with ghouls. Little did he know that's exactly what his rival's original purpose was.

Doshi didn't know what shape his new kagune was but the two men looked scared. It twitched and spasmed as it changed shape to form a stegosaurus tail. Long spikes grew from the sides of the appendage. He roared, charging forward at the two ghouls. They both summoned their kagune, the larger man had a koukaku and the skinny man had a bikaku. Doshi didn't care, he spun in the air whipping his kagune around. The spiked tentacle tore through the koukaku with ease and the long prongs punctured the man's chest, killing him. Yanking the spikes from the man's body and swung his legs at the skinny ghoul, catching his face. The kick sent the ghoul to the ground, face first. Doshi's feet hit the ground and his kagune stabbing into the downed man's chest, the long spines rupturing inner organs, leaving him dead.

Doshi's kagune dissipated and he fell upon the slain ghouls like a hungry beast. The woman watched as Doshi killed her captors with admiration and thanks. But it turned to horror as the ghoul who saved her attacked their dead bodies with relish. Tearing of flesh and the dripping and trickling of blood could be heard. She squeezed her eyes shut until it had stopped. All she heard was the sound of heavy breathing. Opening one eye she saw the man kneeling above to to defeated, his back to her. Behind him she saw torn and mauled bodies of her would be rapists. Fear was evident in her eyes when the man stood and turned to face her.

"I'm going to untie and ungag you. Please do not scream or run. It's dangerous in these tunnels." Doshi said to the woman. "Do you understand?"

She nodded furiously and Doshi undid the ropes around her wrists, then he pulled the gag down form her mouth. She looked afraid.

"Do not tell anyone of me, understood?" He said to her.

She nodded, afraid of what he was going to do.

"I'm going to show you the way out and you're going to forget all about me and what happened down here." She nodded again as Doshi stood up and offered her a bloodstained hand. She took it apprehensively, knowing it was covered in blood. Doshi helped her up and let go of her, leaving blood covering her hand.

"Follow me." He walked back in the direction he had come from and climbed up the ladder and lifted the manhole cover. He helped the woman climb up the ladder then closed the hole.

"Forget what happened tonight. Tell no one of my existence or that I am a one-eyed ghoul. Tonight never happened!" He whispered to her.

She nodded and began to walk away. She paused at the end of the road and turned while talking. "Thank you…" But he had already vanished. She looked down at her now bloodstained hands and a confused smile appeared on her face as she thought about the strange ghoul who had just saved and spared her life.

Doshi had been wandering around the labyrinth of tunnels for hours now and he didn't know where he was. But when he came across an exit in the form of another manhole he climbed out of the tunnels. It was still night, possibly very early in the morning. Doshi closed the hole behind him and looked around. He was in the middle of the road, he only knew that because a car sped by him. Next thing he knew a car ran right into him, he smashed against the windshield, shattering the glass. More cars crashed into the back of the car that hit him and caused a traffic pileup.

He pushed himself from the busted windshield and slid off the hood of the car, falling to the asphalt. Grimacing at the wounds he just received. He groaned as he rolled over on his back. He laid there as his wounds healed then he stood, using the car that hit him for balance. People had gotten out of their cars and were looking at the pileup. Many were on the phone, calling the hospital and police. Doshi looked around at people staring at him. His single kakugan was most likely showing because the people around him took steps back

"Doshi!" A familiar voice called and he turned to see the Cannibal standing on the other side of the road.

"Cannibal!" He shouted back.

"So you ran away from Dr. Kanou? That's very irresponsible of you. You're a ghoul now right?" The Cannibal's masked face was the same as ever. Light reflected, and dancing along the black chrome material.

"I'm here for you Cannibal!" Doshi summoned his kagune. The tail grew from his back and then the long barbs grew from the tentacle.

The Cannibal tilted his head, "Is that a dinosaur tail?" He asked with interest.

"It'll be your death!" Doshi shouted and ran at the chimera ghoul.

His stegosaurus tail like kagune sped toward the Cannibal, who simply turned on his heel then his toe in one swift motion, dodging Doshi's attack. The Cannibal went to kick Doshi but he was blocked by another kagune that had grown from the one-eyed ghoul's back. Doshi was pleased with himself at being able to grow a second kagune, knowing that he had formed another kakuhou inside his body. He swung his original kagune at the Cannibal who blocked it with his arm.

Doshi's eyes grew wide, the Cannibal was strong enough to stop a kagune with just his arm! The armor on the ghoul's arm must've helped soften the blow, either that or the Cannibal felt no pain at all.

A fist to Doshi's face sent him crashing to the ground, but he recovered quickly. Jumping to his feet the two ghouls commenced their fight once again. The Cannibal grew two rinkaku blades to match Doshi's but they did not have the long spikes on the ends. The chimera ghoul's kagune were long with thick, club like ends. The two ghouls clashed, their kagune smashing against the other.

But even as a ghoul Doshi didn't stand a chance. An extra kagune grew from the Cannibal's back and impaled Doshi through his stomach. He spat up blood and clutched the gaping hole in his abdomen as the kagune vanished.

"I'm sorry Doshi, but you're not ready to face me yet. Go back to Dr. Kanou and get stronger." The Cannibal put his foot on Doshi's shoulder and kicked him down.

Doshi looked around and people with their phones out, almost everyone was filming this fight. 'How sick?' Doshi thought, 'These people would rather film this fight than to help someone who could be dying! Maybe humans are the monsters…'

The Cannibal spoke up, as if reading Doshi's mind. "So, none of you are going to help him just because he's a ghoul?" He shouted, "You humans make me sick! You hunt and kill our kind simply because we try to survive! We can't eat food like you humans can! Damn bastards like you don't understand we need to eat you to live! It's the same as you eating cattle and fish! We all deserve to live!" He roared at the top of his lungs. "I don't really care for you humans all too much but I myself have never eaten one of you. Would you like that to change tonight?"

"No." Doshi croaked out and stood, the wound in his stomach hadn't even begun to heal.

A hand on his shoulder stopped him from attacking the Cannibal. He turned to see a hooded figure standing there. He wore a mask, giving Doshi the impression that he was a ghoul. (The mask looks like Scorpion's from Mortal Kombat X) Doshi looked at the man's eyes and saw that they were light blue and he knew who it was.

The green haired man that had visited him earlier while in Dr. Kanou's lab. Doshi didn't know what this man was going to do against one of the most dangerous ghouls in Tokyo. He walked past Doshi and stood a few feet from the Cannibal, their eyes clashing with one another. Doshi saw the odd holster on the man's back. There was an x-shaped form with a small pouch in the middle. To both sides of the pouch were two sheath like holders with what appeared to be steel escrima sticks.

"I'll help him." The young man said and reached over his shoulders for the two metal rods.

He drew them from their sheaths and they expanded, one forming a gladius the other a buckler. The man stood in front of Doshi, ready to defend him.

Doshi didn't know if this man was a CCG operative or something else but Doshi knew that if the Cannibal didn't kill the man in front of him, he'd be going back to Dr. Kanou's lab. And that was the last place Doshi wanted to go but he couldn't move very much because the cavity where his stomach should be hadn't healed yet.

"I have no quarrel with you Cannibal, be on your way." The man said, his voice sounded robotic through the mask he wore.

The Cannibal nodded to the man, "Make sure he doesn't get out again, he's of great importance to me." The chimera ghoul looked around as sirens and flashing lights grew closer. "Looks like we've got company, I'll leave you to deal with them." And with that the masked ghoul disappeared into the night.

The masked man turned to the police who had gotten out of their cars and had their guns out, ready to open fire.

"Get up!" The young man shouted at Doshi.

"What?" Doshi asked.

"My name is Tsuki Conri, I'm the guy who spoke to you at Kanou's lab. And if you want to stay alive get up." The man: Tsuki, hissed.

Doshi pushed his weary body up, noticing the hole in his abdomen had began to heal. "What are you going to-"

"Drop your weapons and put your hands in the air!" A policeman shouted at them.

Tsuki's two quinque turned back into the form of escrima sticks and he returned them to their sheaths. "When I say 'Run!' you run. Understand?" He whispered.

Doshi nodded, "Got it."

Tsuki threw down a few small pellets and they burst open into a cloud of smoke. "Run!" He shouted and they both took off into the night, heading for the entrance of the twenty-fourth ward tunnel. They heard shouting and gunfire behind them, making them quicken their pace. Both quickly jumping down, forgetting about the ladder, Tsuki sealed the entrance behind them and they raced down the tunnel as fast as they could, covering a good distance, making sure no one could follow them. They finally came to a stop, both breathing heavily.

Tsuki rested his hands on his knees, Doshi leaned against the wall of the tunnel. Neither said a word to the other as they caught their breath. After a minute or so Tsuki pushed off his knees and spoke.

"Come on Doshi, we'd best head back to Kanou's laboratory."

Doshi protested, "I don't want to go back there."

"Those two ghouls you killed, you did it with the power that Kanou gave to you. Under the right training and with the right amount of time, you can become strong enough to actually fight the Cannibal. That's what you want isn't it?" Tsuki asked Doshi.

"Yes." He responded.

"Oh by the way, the two ghouls you killed… Who were they?" Tsuki asked as they began to walk again.

Doshi shook his head, "I don't know but they were going to rape and eat an innocent woman and I couldn't let that happen."

"Ah, then you did the right thing." This left Doshi thinking but he could tell the conversation was over. So they walked in silence the rest of the way back to Kanou's lab.
