Tokyo Ghoul: The Other Story

Chapter 21: Saviours?

Back underground Urie groaned when he felt himself drop, he thought this was death and that the darkness was making fall into the pit of hell but he was not far off as the only difference was that he was alive, barely. He cried in pain as his chest hit the hard metal ground only making more blood gush out. All Urie could smell and taste was his own blood, it was like iron and felt disgusting but he didn't have the strength to move. He could feel the presence and hear the heavy footsteps of Big Madam, in panic the investigator tried to get up but his vision was covered in red blood and his strength was failing on him, besides he didn't know where he dropped his quinque.

He cried out in frustration, it wasn't meant to end like this, it couldn't! He was meant to be the victor, be awarded but instead he felt large hands picking him there were also voices but his senses where too muffled to make them out but Big Madam was shouting something at one of her servants, argument perhaps? It didn't matter anyway because the investigator couldn't do anything, all he felt was himself being lifted higher, he blinked the blood from his eyes and he was greeted by Big Madam's chubby round face and her large teeth and foul sent of her breath coming closer and closer under he was greeted by red darkness.

"No one will come to help you know?" The Owl ghoul said as he perched himself on top of the rubble of what was once the wooden stage house, he looked down at Kaneki still trapped under wood and iron unmoving and dark red blood pasted where his eyes were meant to be.

Kaneki's twitched in pain and fear, the feeling of having his eyes gorged out was not much different to when Arima stabbed him though the back of the head and though the eyes and it was giving back horrid memories of blindness and confusion but the only difference was that there was no one here to save him.

"You're cute" Takizawa continued, he sounded clearer and more calmer now but he was still just as crazy, unknown to the two half-ghouls a certain investigator who goes by the name SaikoYonebayashi had just snuck in and was listening behind the back seats "I can sympathize with you because after all, that's just how the CCG works. They let two ghouls tear each other apart then get rid of the weakened victor, there is no honour when it comes to the law and government in fact they are no better than the ghouls they kill"

"Tell me..." The crazed half-ghoul carried on "what is it like pretending to be a human, befriending them, teaching them...I wonder how they would react if they knew you're true identify, be disgusted? Betrayed? They won't want to be your friend anymore and you're students won't look up to you anymore, seriously what's your reason for existing? The least you can give me is a reason"

Saiko felt herself crying at the crazed half-ghoul's words; surely they wouldn't throw Sasaki away like that, not after being such a good teacher? And being such a nice person? Her hands were shaking in fear and anger; she wanted to do something, anything to help no matter what Sasaki did in the past he didn't deserve to be in pain. The young girl then heard a different voice, one in pain but sounded softer.

"...Don't want..." The voice coughed, it was Kaneki "I don't...Disapp-"

"Ahhh..." The ghoul interrupted, Saiko could swear she could hear a smile in that voice, "So that's as far as you go...I'll eat you for dessert then!" Suddenly from behind Saiko the door smashed open, the young investigator leaped away, she looked up at a red hooded ghoul but she wasn't wearing a mask and to her surprise she recognised the ghoul as Hinami Sasaki. Then a Rinkaku of a pale yellow colour shot though the ghouls back towards Takizawa lashing the ghoul out of the way and then wrapping itself over Kaneki and lifted him off the floor and towards her awaiting arms.

Takizawa grained his compose and looked up at the newcomer.

"You're getting my way little girl..."

The two Rabbit ghouls where back to facing each other once again and out of the two ghouls Touka was the most tired out but Ayato was not unscarred either, he had to admit that his sister had put up a better fight than last time but he was still stronger and he knew there was no reason for this fight to continue, the 'Girl' had already disappeared so Naki must of done his job right.

"Just go Touka" Ayato said "you're only hurting yourself, besides look behind you your little friend has gone" Touka look behind and it seemed that her brother wasn't lying, Mutsuki was gone.

"I don't have time for you!" Touka snapped as she was about to sprint off, there was no use fighting if the person she was protecting had disappeared she wanted to find Kaneki but she also wanted to find Mutsuki, the kid had a bad leg after all .

"Nor you lousy sister" Ayato said with a tired sigh, secretly glad the fight was finished "however don't bother looking for your friends they are already at Aogiri's mercy besides its the Doves you need to worry about..."

"Wha-?" Touka was about to ask what he meant until she could hear a crowd of footsteps surrounding them from both sides but she didn't bother to look at the white coated men and woman that would only make her angry, besides she need to get out of here fast her brother was already disappearing over the roof top and so was she.

The White Rabbit shot up using her Ukaku to give her lift off, the investigators shouted ordered and tried to attack but she was already on the roof and she could see her brother running not too far ahead of her. The young woman ran faster to catch up with Ayato,

"You know where Kaneki is don't you?!" Touka shouted as she caught up with her brother "Just tell me where he is!"

"Didn't you hear the screams from before sister?" Ayato spoke, his tone was deep and sad "You probably thought is belonged to a far off battle but really they were the screams of your half-ghoul friend, it seems one of Kanou successful experiments has overpowered him..."

"I-I don't believe you!" Touka snapped and the two Ukaku ghouls stopped and Ayato turned to face his sister with annoyance in his eyes

"If don't believe anything I say then why do you bother asking?!" Ayato said snapped coldly making Touka flinch "Look I think those noise came in the direction of the college hall so go there if you don't believe me" He pointed straight forward, to the north where the hall was then he turned to East "and stop following me as well, I've been away from Aogiri long enough!" and with that he went his own way leaving Touka to go with the only lead she had. She had to forget about Mutsuki for now, Kaneki was the most important so she headed north.

Urie could feel Big Madams large teeth grinding on his upper body, although it was embarrassing for the investigator as he screamed lashed out with what little strength he could. The chamber he was in smelt of rotten flesh and decay, not really the most glamorous place to die but Urie was without strength or weapon and it agonizing having the ghoul slowly rank her teeth on him and awaiting for the ghouls large teeth to crunch down on him destroying him for good.

Suddenly the sound crashing caught his ears and the grinding stopped, there was suddenly a sensation of bumping forwards and then he felt himself falling backwards away from the hot red cavern of Big Madams mouth and into the fresh cold air and landing into a messy heap on the floor.

Urie blinked open his eyes enjoying the air and to see what had made Big Madam drop him. He couldn't see the giant ghoul anywhere but he saw shapes of black coated men jump over him and he could here shouting and running footsteps yet no one paid him any mind but Urie wasn't complaining, he just wanted quiet and to wallow in his misery and embarrassment on his own, he didn't need pity.

The fight was still going on but he took no heed to the words being said nor did he notice when someone put a tissue of chloroform to his mouth and found himself pass out like a light.

In Saiko's eyes Hinami looked strong and composed as the girl kept her eyes upon the enemy keeping her wrecked up brother close to her wrapped in both arms as she drew her Rinkaku back towards her. Saiko shivered under the female ghoul's eyes and found herself feeling lucky that all that anger and hatred wasn't directed at her. Saiko wasn't sure how long she had seen staring until Hinami's voice rung out directed at the investigator,

"Yonebayashi-san!" She called out "Quick besides me!" Saiko was surprised, she didn't even know Hinami noticed her presence but she dare not argue as she saw the half-Kakuja ghoul draw back his Ukaku and Saiko knew he was going to attack. So without hesitation Saiko leaped towards Hinami going through the open space in her Rinkaku and pressed herself close the female ghoul and Kaneki.

"MOVE!" The Owl screamed as he summoned large sharp crystals from his Ukaku to send them crashing down upon the trio, Saiko couldn't look and covered her eyes in fear waiting for the hit to come and pierce though her body but it never came. The investigator moved her figures to peck though the gap and she saw to her astonishment blurs of yellow and red moving at fast speed around them, it was knocking away the Kakuja ghoul's crystals like flapping away flies and it could only belong to Hinami's Rinkaku.

Suddenly the attack stopped and Saiko felt a heavy weight shift to her lap, Hinami was pushing Kaneki onto Saiko's lap "Protect him!" Hinami ordered as she stood up straighter and stepped forwards to face her opponent.

"Now who are you?" Takizawa sneered as he looked up at the young ghoul who stood fearlessly "A friend of the half-bastard perhaps? It doesn't matter, I just wrecked one of the wanted ghouls in Japan and now I'm going to wreck you!" Takizawa released more sharp crystals and aimed towards Hinami who leaped out the way onto to seats. Saiko ducked and was lucky that none of the crystals stabbed neither her nor Kaneki but the wall instead.

The investigator looked back up towards the fight and she had to admit she was impressed by the ghouls speed, Hinami ran across the edges of the seats as Takizawa fired attacks but luckily Hinami was able to dodge and knock the crystals off with her kagune. She thought Hinami was doing quite well until she looked down at Kaneki and the sight upset her more than she thought.

The half-ghoul was blinded with no eyes but blood and its place, his kagune had disappeared and his clothes where torn in several places and his black hair was matted in blood and his body hung limp on Saiko's lap. The young investigator had to check his pulse to see if he was still breathing because he looked dead.

It was then she looked back to the fight with Hinami.

Kaneki was meant to be an SS rated ghoul, he was Centipede, the most wanted ghoul in Japan, the ghoul that got away from Arima besides the One-Eyed Owl. Yet this crazed ghoul beat him and turned him to a mess of blood and injures, how could Hinami beat someone like that? What where her chance of destroying someone her brother couldn't? It was then Hinami had stopped at the edge of the stage with all four Rinkaku's spread out large and powerful, even Takizawa had to double take. And Saiko stared in astonishment as the Rinkaku slashed into Takizawa's insides, the half-ghoul screamed loudly making Saiko cringe as the Owl fell with a thump on the ground and Saiko gasped in disgust as his left hand fell from his body.

But unfortunately the battle wasn't over yet.

As Hinami stood tall on the stage Takizawa's Kakuja was healing his body rabidly, the half-ghoul push of the ground with his feet and his back in arc as his hand started to grow back leaving the severed one untouched. "IT HURTS, IT HURTS!" The half-ghoul screamed, his voice rapid and dry like sandpaper as he spoke "You sure are strong little girl, I underestimated you…"

Meanwhile Ken found himself turning awake, his eyes had grown back and he weakly blinked the dried blood from his new eyes, his vision was still unfocused but he could here fighting going on somewhere nearby he should of felt cold and scared but instead he was warm and felt comfortable despite the pain stinging in every inch of his body.

He tried blinking more blood out of his eyes, his arms where too weak to move but though the red vision he could see blue, blue hair and a pale face with large blue eyes. It took his brain and new eyes a considerable amount of time to progress the image but he realized he was resting on Saiko's lap.

But if Saiko as here then who was fighting Takizawa?

He tried to turn his head to the sound of the battle, Saiko noticed the movement and was trying to tell him something but he wasn't listening but instead he focusing on a red hooded figure on the stage with his back to him and a yellow and red Rinkaku's spread out, it was a Rinkaku he recognised.

"Hinami!" He tried to cry out but his voice came out small and weak, Hinami was protecting him? Against that…Thing.

Suddenly he felt his heart leap from his chest in fear as Takizawa suddenly shot forwards, too quick for Hinami to react and using his Kakuja he sent Hinami flying backwards towards the lower seats, the female ghoul crashed through them and the floorboards and all Kaneki could here as smashing and breaking of wood.

"Hinami!" Kaneki called again this time his voice was stronger as he suddenly shot up, Saiko tried to hold him back but he shrugged her off and tried to get to feet but he fell back to knees at the first step and Saiko was back to his side with hands on his shoulders.

"You can't do anything!" Saiko cried with tears in her eyes "she told me to protect you!" She must be talking about Hinami, Kaneki thought as he watched thankful when he saw Hinami's small form crawl out of the rubble and even more pleased when Takizawa suddenly ignored her to get consumed in his own madness.

"AAAAGH, ABE…CrAb CrEAm CroQueTTe!" The Half-ghoul was now on his knees, he pulled at his hair and his head was shacking and nodding like his neck had a mind of its own "HAGUGAGAAAAA…gO BaCK, Go BACK….I SAID ENOUGH! I DIDN'T EAT! I DIDN'T EATTTTT!"

Hinami got up shakily to her feet taking a few steps forwars, she looked back at the seats to find her big bother awake and leaning on one of the seats with Saiko at his shoulder, the black haired half-ghoul looked sickly and beaten down as he stared at her though wide begging eyes begging her to run away but she couldn't, not while Takizawa was still alive alive but how she could she beat this thing? Takizawa was strong, he even had beaten her brother the strongest person she knew, it was foolish for her to think that she could win, particularly in her first real fight.

She wanted to cry, she wanted to be home with her brother and Hide safe but already the poor girl was sore and tired and Kaneki was no better but then she heard a voice from above her making her heart stop.

"It's ok Hinami…You did more than what was expected from you" Hinami blinked in surprise and looked up to the hole in the wall to see a familiar shape of a woman with a white Rabbit mask and a beautifully large Ukaku blazing behind her like fire and Hinami suddenly felt warm and hope filled her heart.

"Onee-chan!"

Hide and Nishio where standing in the living room getting ready to go to the auction while Chie, like the childish woman she was, bounced on the sofa and cried in a high pitched voice which was getting really annoying.

"I wanna go too!" Chie moaned and he stared up at the two guys "There are so many pictures I could take, why can't I come?"

"Because it's dangerous brat!" Nishio snapped "And someone needs to watch the laptop in case something strange goes on with the trackers!"

"Brat?!" Chie gasped "I'm 24 you know? A little older than you I bet!"

"Then try acting you're age and you might grow a couple of centimetres, brat!" Nishio snapped again, he was honestly getting fed up with this mouse girl and he had no idea why people like Kaneki and Tsukiyama found her useful.

"Can you two stop arguing please…" Hide sighed as he fastened a tracker to his back jacket and threw the other to Nishio "Now our job is to find Hinami, Kaneki and Touka and to bring them back home safely before Aogiri or the CCG find them, in fact they probably have already".

"Even though Hinami and Kaneki have found each other now" Nishio said as he nodded to the computer screen, it seemed that both Hinami and Kaneki where in the college hall yet none of them had moved much and Kaneki seemed still as a statue so he felt as his duty as a best friend he had to go and check it out.

"Yeah we are still going" Hide nodded and he turned to Nishio "Do you remember what we are supposed to do?"

"Yeah" Nishio nodded grimly "Get the half-ghoul bastard, the Touka bitch and the flower girl then we go home"

"And remember we are not going there for Torso, just for are friend's" Hide confirmed but Nishio just shrugged and Hide wasn't reassured but he turned to Chie. "Remember Chie you have to call us if Kaneki or Hinami move from the college hall so keep your eyes on the laptop and no messing around".

"Ooooo someone is getting serious" Chie laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not happy about the situation but it would be too boring if you were to die today"

"Thanks…" Nishio grumbled as he placed his Serpent mask over his face then turned back to Hide "Shouldn't you hide your face too Nagachika? Someone from the CCG could see you and wonder what you are going there"

"Don't worry" Hide smiled "My mask is in my pocket, should we go?" And so the two set off, Hide's mask and quinque felt heavy in his pocket. Even though he wasn't a ghoul Kaneki insisted in getting Hide a mask just in case something like this ever where to happen. Hide remembered getting his measurements getting done by Uta, he wondered how the weird mask ghoul was doing these days but this wasn't the time he needed to save his family and he hoped that bringing Nishio along was a good idea.

Shirazu had lost Saiko. For a big girl Saiko could run fast when she wanted to and to make things harder the screams had stopped, which should be a good thing but now he couldn't follow the sound. He sighed in frustration as he hid in one of the toilet cubicles on the second floor. So far he had passed and avoided both Aogiri and CCG alike, he couldn't avoid to be stopped now and he defiantly couldn't do another fight so when he heard the door to the men's toilets creek open his heart stopped and he lowered his breathing as he put his feet up on the toilet he was sitting on so they wouldn't show under the door but he doubt it mattered because he heard the person sniffing and knew it was a ghoul.

"I smell scared a little human in here…" the voice said, surprisingly it belonged to a female. What the hell was a woman doing in the men's toilets? War or not!

The investigator heard the cubicle five door down slam open, then the forth one, the then the third it was only a matter of time before it came to him. He got his quinque case ready, didn't know how much of fight he could put up after just fighting Nutcracker maybe if it was a normal Aogiri henchman he could win but if it was leader however…

The second cubicle opened then it came to a stop behind his cubicle, looking in the gap under the door he could see a pair of boots and a long red Aogiri cape reaching to the heels.

"I know you are in there?" The ghoul said casually "You're not taking a shit are you? That won't be a pretty sight to see when I kick open his door…" Shirazu didn't know what to do, which was better? Waiting for the door to open and surprise attack or just opening to door himself? But he didn't get the chance to choose when three pieces of a kagune popped out from the top of the cubicle door and come down on Shirazu, he didn't have time to take his quinque out as they were suddenly wrapped around his chest and dragged him out thought the gap at the top of the door making his quinque case drop in the progress.

Once Shirazu was pulled out he came face to face with a bikaku ghoul who was a little short on stature wearing the typical ropes of Aogiri and a mask kinda shaped like a star with a long triangle shape leading up her face and two other triangles shapes to the side. It was Triple Blades.

"Now…" The ghoul said "You're going to be useful…"

Like Hinami Saiko and Kaneki also looked up to the voice to find White Rabbit standing in the hole in the wall, Saiko looked confused and scared, the poor human was surrounded by ghouls after all but Kaneki couldn't help but smile, even though he didn't want Touka to fight this crazy half-ghoul he was glad she was here.

He watched the Ukaku ghoul jump down landing on top of one of the seats with her kagune out and ready for battle. Kaneki called out over Takizawa's screaming,

"Touka-chan you can't fight him!" He gestured to Takizawa "he's a half-ghoul and he's stronger than me!"

"Bull-shit!" Touka snapped "this thing seriously beat you?!" He nodded to Takizawa's who was now crouched on the floor crying pulling his hair and his Kakuja going wild again. "You've grown soft Kaneki!" The Rabbit carried on "What happened to your Kakuja? Why don't you use it? If you did then Hinami wouldn't be hurt!"

"If I did use my Kakuja not only would I be tearing him up but Hinami, Saiko and you as well so don't say things you don't understand!" Kaneki snapped "Besides I thought you liked me better being weak and nice, you didn't like me much after my torture did you!" Touka didn't say anything for a second, only the screaming could be heard,

"No you're right I didn't like you after coming back from Jason, but at least you were strong enough to protect you're friends even if it was for your own selfishness" The rabbit was now walking down the rows of seats towards the stage "But look what's happened Hinami she's hurt and for your information Mutsuki has been taken by Aogiri and Urie has gone of god knows where and even that girl next to you has been caught in all this, Saiko right?"

"So tell me what should I do, go berserk and use a Kakuja I can't control?" Kaneki asked now glaring at down at the Rabbit ghoul as she stepped on the stage, the thought of Mutsuki being in Aogiri's hands worried him but for now he couldn't do anything.

"Of course you can control it!" Touka snapped "Look at him!" She pointed to Takizawa, he had quietened down now but his body was shacking madly as he mumbled words without sense "This guy is pathetic, he is broken and it would take miracle to get him back the way he was but you however are different, you escaped from Aogiri, you have friends who love you and to be honest you are insane but that is just apart your personality but you are not evil nor uncaring you won't hurt me nor Hinami or any of your friends, if think different then there was no point to getting stronger in the first place, what was point of eating all those ghouls and creating a Kakuja if you are going to fear it!"

Kaneki couldn't say anything to that, he only stared down at his lap.

"You know…" Touka carried on "This ghoul's Kakuja reminds you of a certain someone doesn't it? I know that Owls are the predator in this situation but maybe for once the Centipede could fight back, maybe he could destroy the Owl from inside…"

Suddenly Takizawa's head snapped up, his wide mix-matched eyes stared up at Touka as he just realized her presence, even though the mask Touka didn't break eye-contact with the deranged half-ghoul, it was like Rabbit that was looking down or laughing at the Owl and the Owl wasn't having it.

"What the fuck are you looking at bunny?!" The Owl sneered as his Kakuja started to rise…

"Onee-chan RUN!" Hinami screamed and just in time Touka leaped to the side before Owl could bring his Kakuja down on her. Kaneki watched in anxiety as the Ukaku ghoul ran towards Hinami and picked her up over her shoulder. Owl picked up the chase and ran towards them, Saiko gasped as the two female ghoul escaped the Kakuja by a hair.

"He's faster than I thought…" Touka mumbled as she ran towards Kaneki and Saiko both now where standing waiting for the two ghouls to run with them, Touka was just about to leap off the stage when suddenly Takizawa was right behind her, nor Hinami or Saiko or Kaneki had time warn Touka as the Owl ghoul made a grab for Hinami's hair and yank her away from Touka's arms making the Ukaku ghoul stop her tracks.

The Rabbit ghoul stopped to turn around to face Takizawa who held Hinami by the hair with his left and using his right he reached to grab Touka's arm, the Rabbit ghoul cried a little as she felt the long black finger nail digged into her skin and her mask fell off.

She struggled against the grip and lashed out with her kagune but there was only so much she could do against a ghoul who can't feel pain and who has the girl she calls her sister as a hostage. She didn't want to hurt Hinami by accident and it only got harder as the Owl pulled the two woman in front of him like shield. Hinami also tried to fight but she was still weakened and shaken by smashing into those chairs and floor, they were turned to face Kaneki who was screaming their names and was now standing straighter as Saiko shook and cried at his side.

"Takizawa what are you doing?!" Kaneki screamed in anger as he watched the two girls he cared about struggle under the half-ghoul's grasp,

"Isn't it obvious Centipede?" The Owl cried in joy as a smile of madness stretched along his face "I want to play a little game with you, one I'm sure you've played before…I'm going to kill one of your girls and your aim of the game is pick which one I'm going to kill!" Kaneki's heart stopped, his hands clenched and shook at his sides and his head was pounding as memories of black and white checkboard rooms and the faces of a mother and her child filled his mind "Or maybe I should put it in a nicer way…Which one do you want be to save? Your sister or your 'girlfriend'?"

Meanwhile Hide and Nishio where sitting behind some bushes ten feet away from the front of the college, there were a group of white coated CCG investigators who seemed to having some kind of meeting,

"They are talking about Touka" Nishio confirmed, Hide usually forgot ghoul had good hearing compared to humans in fact living with two ghouls made ghouls seem more human to him, in a strange way.

"Is she ok?" Hide asked,

"She got away from them including her brother Ayato" Nishio answered "They are wondering what they should do now and awaiting orders, I'm guessing Touka went to the college hall that's where we should be going"

"We might have to go through a window or one of side doors since the front seems to be out of bounds" Hide said as he digged into his pocket for his mask, he took it out and Nishio looked at it curiously. He had never seen Hides mask before it was a full face mask that strapped around his head like a belt, the front of the mask was made of thick black leather and was in the shape of the Ace of Spades which was shaped in a way where it cover all the top half his face but show a bit on the bottom.

Nishio wondered why Uta would make such a mask for Hide, it wasn't decorated nor looked like anything special, human or not Uta took pride in his mask making so why create such a plain mask? Hide strapped the mask up feeling nervous, not just about the rescue mission but about wearing the mask in general. The first and last time he wore this mask was three years ago when he first got it but he always hoped it would never be needed. Putting on the mask made him feel like a ghoul or that he was doing something, well harbouring and helping ghouls was a serious crime but still…he felt like he was losing his identity, his right to be out in public but this was important and personal feeling had to be pushed aside, besides there where people in the CCG that he didn't want recognising him...

Somewhere far off town a woman wrapped in bandages and a large red rope sat up from her seat as she stared at the monitors in front of her. Watching the battle though the CTV had been interesting and she had seen some surprising reactions and advents, particularly from her two favourite half-ghouls.

Eto grinned though her bandages, her reaction showed clearly under them as she stretched her arms legs due to staying in the same position for a couple of hours. She called one of her remaining henchmen, most where at the auction but she would reunited with them soon enough, watching had been fun but now it was time to play her own part in this.

She asked her henchman to prepare the car, hopefully she could get there in time for the big final…

Note: Ok let me make this clear now THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL! Some reviewers mentioned in the last chapter how I couldn't finish this in less than four chapter but I don't need to if there will be a sequel, seriously I have mentioned this in past Author Note's its useful to read those…

I know this chapter is quite short but this is final chapter before the final battle of Kaneki Vs Takizawa 90% of chapter 22 will focus on that battle while the remaining 10% will be on Hide and Nishio. I don't know how long that chapter is going to be, its either going to be a two parted chapter or I might just make it into on big chapter, it depends and if the latter happens you might have to wait longer but a bigger chapter is worth it right?

So…What do you think of Hide's mask? If you don't know it's from the 'Tokyo Ghoul Trump' which was for readers that purchased the first two volumes of Tokyo Ghoul: Re and they are designed as a deck of cards featuring all the character, Hide was the Ace of Spades. It's easy to find images of these deck cards on the TG Wiki site and find your favourite character. Also while doing this it would be useful to look up the meanings behind the decks because Ishida loves his symbolism.

And wow such great reviews! I love you guys seriously you're reviews are really nice and helpful and are really encouraging, its hard writing after just coming back from college and reading them just makes me excited to update and hear your reactions.
