Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry for the long wait! Omg! I've been so busy and I had writer's block and ugh! I've been working on this chapter ever since the last one was posted. So about a whole week!
Hey y'all, wanna know something I just realized? Ya know how Kaneki cracks his knuckles one at a time with his thumb? I realized that I do that! I've been doing that for years, even before I ever saw or knew about Tokyo Ghoul! I dunno, that's just kinda cool to me. Anyway… Umm there has been some thought on a Flashback story that will be about OCs in this story. It would be about their pasts and what they did up until they came into this story here. So my question is: Would that be something y'all would be interested in? Would y'all read it? Review this chapter and gimme an answer.
Shoutout!
AppleCreamPie, sorry didn't get you in the last chapter's shoutouts you probably posted your review as I was working on the chapter.
Miyako15 I'd like to thank you on that. I've read my fair share of fight scenes as well as seen a good amount with my own eyes, so I try. As for Doshi and Ryuu meeting up? Well that's going to very interesting.
I know, I did too halfeyedknight. And oh they're going to be brilliant! Also, sorry about Doshi breaking Tsuki's jaw /: I hope that didn't offend you or anything. Tsuki's tough though and will be back in action probably this chapter or the next.

WARNING! WARNING!
The first time their master had allowed them to eat or sleep since the three days they had been on the island. And Kaneki was grateful for it. Mikeru however was contemplating what Ryuu had said earlier. '"...now I don't know of a single ghoul who could best me in a fight…" Is he really that powerful?'
"You can never run from an enemy! Even if it costs you your life, you must fight!" The chimera ghoul hollered at his two trainees. Something about that sounded vaguely familiar to Kaneki but he couldn't put his finger on it. Where had he heard that before?
Lost in thought the half ghoul didn't notice the kagune tentacle aimed in his direction. The powerful rinkaku pierced through his abdomen, practically gutting him. The white haired hybrid coughed blood up onto the large limb, looking up at his attacker. His mentor was the one who had run him through, the rinkaku kagune whipped around, sending Kaneki crashing into Mikeru. The two ghouls landed in a jumble of limbs, Kaneki's blood splattered around. Untangling themselves from one another the two ghouls sprung to their feet ready to face their teacher.
Ryuu, who was still far stronger and faster, was already in their faces. Racing past both of them he jumped into the air, contorting his body in a manner that would've broken a human's back for sure. Ryuu extended his legs with in a swift motion, dealing a boot to each student's temple. The two younger ghouls stumbled as Ryuu landed in a squat. Twirling around, his ukaku grew from his back as muscular blades which stabbed into both other ghouls.
Mikeru grimaced in pain but Kaneki took the blade in his gut effortlessly. The one-eyed ghoul then proceeded to summon his own kagune which he used to pry himself off the ukaku blade and throw himself from the skirmish. The large gaping hollow in Kaneki's chest had already finished healing. The half human weaved to his left as a wounded Mikeru as thrown at him. He turned to his mentor with his sole kakugan blazing, he charged the older ghoul.
He never reached Ryuu due to the crystallized shards that the cannibal fired off at him. Kaneki knew about ukaku from Touka, he knew they were dangerous from long-range. But he was able to dodge most of the crystal bullets sent his way. Most of them. Two lone splinters embedded in his shoulder and elbow with deadly accuracy. The fragment that hit his elbow practically severed his arm!
Kaneki knew his regeneration would fix that as he raced forward, six tentacles primed and ready for battle. The colorless haired ghoul propelled his kagune forward in an attempt to spear his instructor but the chimera ghoul was much faster due to his ukaku kagune. Ryuu threaded his way through Kaneki's attacks, using his ukaku to deadly effect. Surgical like cuts were left covering the body of Aogiri's newest addition. The lacerations sealed and the blood seeped back into them before the gashes closed without a trace.
"Your regeneration is abnormally quick." Noted Ryuu as he gyrated his waist, blocking Kaneki's kagune with his own. "Even for a ghoul, not to mention a rinkaku." The black haired ghoul shot off hardened projectiles at his opponent. "That's certainly something to behold." Ryuu spun around, punting an incoming Mikeru.
Kaneki noticed that with arrival of the spiky haired teen caused a shift in the fight. But not a positive one for he and Mikeru. Neither of them could make a move without Ryuu stopping them immediately. It was like the eldest ghoul could predict their exact moves and was ready to counter it. They were hard pressed to try and even move about let alone land a hit on the more experienced ghoul. Ryuu's ukaku kept them on the defensive while his rinkaku lashed out, keeping Kaneki on his toes.
Internally cursing himself for his inability and weakness, Kaneki took Ryuu's rinkaku in his gut which seemed to confuse both other ghouls. The black nailed ghoul slid his body along the long tentacle.
"What are your doing?" Shouted an afraid Mikeru.
A roar ripped from Kaneki's throat as the kagune blade tore through his abdomen. Ryuu watched in awe as his half ghoul pupil used the rinkaku tentacle as a rail going through his body. Kaneki used his own kagune to stab his master the same way he had been impaled. The two ghouls were face to face, both glaring each other down refusing to withdraw their predatory limbs. Kaneki's momentum pushed Ryuu back, sending pebbles scattering across the shore as he tried to dig his feet into the ground.
The cannibal might've had his stomach punctured but he felt no pain, surprising Kaneki. How could he feel no pain when there was a huge cavity where his stomach should be? Was he even a living creature? Kaneki looked from his kagune in Ryuu's gut then up to at his face. His singular kakugan staring back at Ryuu's normal pair of red and black ghoul eyes. The older ghoul winked at Kaneki, confusing him then a shower of crystallized fragments rained down from the chimera's extended ukaku.
Kaneki grimaced, trying to move but both combatants were transfixed by each other's kagune. The hybrid couldn't escape the hail of hardened kagune bits that stuck into his arms which were raised in defense. A few passed his arms and grazed his sides and face.
Neither was prepared for what happened next. A large spider leg smashed the ground next to the still connected ghouls. They both turned to see comfortable looking Mikeru sitting on log watching them. A massive kagune spider had closed in on them unsuspectingly.
"Haven't forgotten about me, have you?" The teenage ghoul asked.
"Heh, I would never Mikeru!" Smirked Ryuu, turning back to Kaneki. "I'm not sorry."
With those words Ryuu twisted his body and tore his kagune through Kaneki's side, destroying several other organs. The hybrid ghoul cried out in pain and fell to the ground. The cannibal whirled around, blocking an attack from Mikeru. His long, thin tentacle pierced through the thicker one of his mentor. Mikeru's kagune spider began to attack the chimera ghoul alongside its master.
"Your spiders are very," Ryuu hurdled into the air, breaking off the tip of Mikeru's kagune. "Annoying!" Shouted the ghoul, landing on the spider.
"You'll see just how annoying they are!" Bellowed Mikeru as another spider grew from his back.
The young ghoul showed no hesitation as he charged Ryuu. The spider detached from Mikeru's back, he hopped onto it as it rose to its full height. He was facing Ryuu, both on the backs of kagune spiders. Mikeru knew there was no way he could defeat his master, he didn't have the strength, forget the skills he had developed. The young ghoul knew Ryuu would defeat him but that didn't mean he would give up. Casting a glance at the shore, Mikeru saw Kaneki for the most part healed and ready to fight. A smirk played on his lips when he looked back at Ryuu.
"He won't be able to help you." Ryuu's ukaku grew, joining his rinkaku. "This has been fun, but I'm afraid we have to get back to Tokyo soon."
Bounding into the air, Ryuu killed the kagune spider with four tentacles into its back. He used those as springs and launched himself into the air his ukaku formed his normal bat wing shape and crystallized kagune shards rained down on both his pupils. The recently healed Kaneki didn't see the attack and was easily dispatched with fragments raining down on his head. Mikeru jumped back off the spider as the hardened bits punctured the detached kagune. But in midair Mikeru couldn't dodge his teacher's next attack. The tentacle ripped through him, meaning Ryuu had won.
Mikeru crashed to the ground, his body transfixed by several shards. Groaning he tried to stand only for his teacher to kick him in the gut.
"Oof!" Exclaimed Mikeru, rolling in pain to clutch his stomach.
"You're still too weak to fight me but with the skills and training you've received here you'll be able to hold your own against investigators. You'll be training even more when we get back to Tokyo." Ryuu said, squatting next to Mikeru. Walking over to Kaneki Ryuu put his boot on his shoulder and rolled Kaneki over so he was on his back. Then he looked down at him, "That was a big risk you took back there. By taking the hit instead of dodging it, that's usually how you lose a fight but in your case you were able to catch me off guard and you're the first in a long time to be able to actually do any relative damage to me. Yes, your regeneration heals you quickly, unfortunately you never followed up after the initial attack like I did. That was the difference in our case." He cast an eye to Mikeru who was picking out crystallized kagune. Speaking more but still to Kaneki. "Get up, we're going back to the base."
