*Warning! Slight violence in this chapter!
**Pardon OOC's (come on it's AU and I don't own them).
Guest: Hello thank you for your review! I am very sorry if she is your favorite character. I swear it's not hate, it's part of the plot :D.
Scattershot98: Oh I see, it's okay. :D. Really? I also want to review first when reading a fanfic haha. Yes me too! I have mixed feelings for Hairu's character haha. I won't spoil but if you see Irimi in the next five chapters or so, you'll see her adjusting to the new life. And nope, Naki isn't one of them. I left the 'soldiers' unnamed because I didn't want to add OC's. Naki will show up really close though so watch out for him :D. Hahaha Yomo will...do something xD. Yep yep. The reason why the Clowns are scary and powerful is because they power up by eating a fellow tentacle. Hint: Kureo's body will show up soon. Hahah yeah Furuta! I guess no matter what he's stilll annoying lol. Touka WILL run xD. Oh yeah, it will help you understand (although Days gone is still a little far from the present but there's already foreshadowing and stuff). Ahahaha I am really happy you like the chapter despite its brutality xD. And thanks for sharing, I downloaded it in my list. I haven't finished reading Awakening yet hehe but I will soon! Thank you again, here is the next one!
A/N: You guys are probably aware of my 12-hour posting sched right? Haha, well now it might change. I only have a few drafts left and I will have a real job soon. So if suddenly the 12hour posting stops, that time has come. Once again, thank you for reading and reviewing :D.
TOKYO TENTACLE 23
Jason's Obscenity Arc - EP6
As soon as Touka left, Jason stopped his administrations, dropping Irimi's body on the floor. He clicked his tongue.
"You win. She left without violating any of my conditions. I will not chase her." Jason says as he wiped the cum on his member. "I never admit my loss. But I'm making an exemption today." he says and forced his wet finger in her mouth, when she bit on his finger, he held his anger in and grinned. "Then again, thanks to her, I found out you were an old friend. Already becoming like me I see." he teased and she let his bloody finger go. "We're both animals."
Drinking on Jason's blood helped her wounds recover faster, but she immediately stopped and pulled her head away from his finger. Jason chuckled.
"Humans and tentacles, tch. remember how we despise them both. They turned us into this." he continued to speak.
Irimi spits his blood on the tiles, refusing to drink anymore of his blood. "I don't remember y-"
When she didn't seem to remember the same memory he did, he was unhappy.
Grabbing her by the neck, he began to shout. "I AM YAMORI YOU PIECE OF FILTHY CRAP! YOU AND THE OTHER WHORES LEFT ME IN THAT NIGHTMARE! I NEVER SAW YOUR FACE BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET YOUR NAME!"
"'Ya..mori'?" she repeats. The name rang a bell.
"I WAS CRYING FOR HELP BUT ALL OF YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON ME!... THEY... THOSE MONSTERS... THEY DID ALL THESE HORRIBLE THINGS TO ME, THAT'S WHY I HUNTED DOWN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE WHORES WHO LEFT ME TO SUFFER! I KILLED THEM ALL!"
Dropping her down the floor. His eyes were on the verge of tears as he remembered an unimaginable dark past.
"Y- Yakumo." she said as she remembered. "You escaped the facili-"
Taking his wrench, he began to hit her head. Making a crunch noise as the first time hit her defenselessly. "IT WAS NO THANKS TO ANY OF YOU! I WAS ALL ALONE! I WAS AFRAID! I-"
Irimi grabbed his bloody wrench before her skull is bashed in half. "WE NEVER LEFT YOU, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO LEFT US! THE FACILITY TURNED US AGAINST EACH OTHER AND THEY MADE YOU KILL YOUR OWN!" her remaining strength wasn't enough to keep his wrench away from her head, and shouting isn't helpful either.
"I'M NOT AN IDIOT! YOU'RE LYING TO SAVE YOUR SKIN BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID THAT I WILL KILL YOU THE SAME WAY I KILLED THE OTHERS! IF I KNEW WHO YOU WERE WHEN I FIRST CAPTURED YOU, I WOULD'VE KILLED YOU ALREADY!"
"THEN WHY WON'T YOU KILL ME NOW!?" letting the wrench go, she just waited for him to completely crush her skull and end her suffering.
But Jason didn't. "AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Throwing the wrench towards the wall, there was a small dent. Gripping on his head, he walked away from the woman. He went to the table filled with his torture equipment along with the syringe placed beside a set of chemicals.
He began to laugh maniacally as he filled the syringe with a transparent chemical.
"I... I remember... I was the one who...ran away." he says, laughing. "But that's a dream. The real one is me staying in the facility, being tortured. Me escaping is a dream. It's like I have two memories."
Jason removed his mask, revealing that his eyes were in tears, his eyes were glowing red, his face looked as if he'd lost it.
"We all died that night right? ...that's why right now.. we're neither Yakumo or Irimi anymore.. I am Jason now. And you're a female tentacle written in the list of all my targets."
"Yakumo, I have two memories about it as well. We all have."
"Who else... is alive? Other than you and me?" he says as he gripped on the syringe in his hand.
"Mayu escaped as well. But I've never heard from her since then."
Placing the mask on the table, he kept the syringe in his hand and knelt down, locking his eyes on her lonely eye. "I killed Mayu already. You're the last that I couldn't find because I didn't know what you looked like." he jabbed the needle in her neck. Cupping her cheek, he forced a smile as he watched the glow in her eye was fully taken over by the shade of gray.
"Ya...ku...m..o.." her sight began to fade and Jason gently pushed her to lie down the tiles.
"Let's meet again in the afterlife. Hopefully living only with one memory."
Touka was running away from the horror house as fast as she could. She didn't dare turn around or even give herself a break. She just ran. Her legs wouldn't stop moving, she just wanted to get away from that nightmare as far as she could.
Tears didn't stop pouring out of her eyes, her blood boiled in anger but fear dominated her than anything else.
She wished she can just let it all out, her instincts were telling her to search for Hide. Yes. Hide. She needs him. She wants to be in his arms and she doesn't want to be anywhere else but his arms.
"Touka!"
When she saw Hide in the corner of her eye, she slammed herself towards him and buried her face in his chest, crying. Hide did not understand what was going on but he can feel Touka's body shivering.
"Touka... what happened? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Hide.. I'm scared!"
"Why? Did someone attack you? Did the Gourmet guy come back?"
"I don't want to be next... I don't want to be next..." she continued to mutter.
"Next to what? Touka please talk to me."
Touka just shook her head and continued to cry. Hide couldn't force her to say whatever it is so he just rubbed her back shortly before wrapping his arms around her to comfort her. He hoped that it was going to help calm her down.
"I'm right here. I'm right here." he tells her softly.
'Kaneki... we're gonna have to do something fast.'
[Hospital - 20th Ward]
Akira was standing by the window, looking at the view from where she was. The view of the peaceful morning in Tokyo. She was wearing casual clothes now but still not allowed to leave the hospital premises.
"A-ki-ra-san~!"
When she recognized his voice, she turned to face him. "Haven't seen you in a long time, Suzuya-san."
"Well you've been sleeping too much." he teased, both hands were behind his back.
"Thank you." she tells him. "For saving my life."
"Thank you for saving mine." he replied and took one step forward to enter her room. "I found something while I was organizing the file room and I thought it'd help entertain your time here."
"You? Organizing stuff?" she teased and walked towards him to see what he's been hiding behind him.
Juuzou approached her and placed the book he's hiding on the bed that was separating them from being near each other. "Ta-dah!"
Akira's eyes widened when she saw the yearbook. "This was in the file room?" she says, her hand tracing the hardbound cover of the book. It was a bit dusty too. But as she thought about it, there was only one culprit. "That Takizawa hid it there!"
Juuzou laughed. "Yep, saw him once but I wasn't attracted to you back then so I didn't care." he says and he saw the woman blushed at the statement. "Not like you weren't pretty back then!" he added in panic. "What is it anyway?" change topic.
Ignoring his comment earlier, she decided to pretend not to hear it. "It's a yearbook they gave us after we graduated the Academy."
"Oh from your younger days."
"Mm-hmm,"
"Do you have like a picture of you there?" he asked, curious.
"Yes but I'm not showing it to you."
"A younger Takizawa then?" Juuzou insisted and Akira sighed. She opened the yearbook, searching for their class. Juuzou waited excitedly, watching Akira turn the pages of the book.
"This is him." she says as she pointed at the young Takizawa sitting behind her.
Juuzou chuckled. "He still looks like a dork, doesn't he?" he teased. "And Akira-san still have her hair short." he added and Akira closes the book immediately. Juuzou finds her reaction entertaining so he decided to probe more information. "Who's Sasaki Haise by the way?"
"How did you know that name?"
Juuzou grinned at her reaction. "His name was written at the back of the yearbook with a phone number." he cited, making the woman tense. "There's also a pretty neat handwriting saying 'Sasaki Haise XOXO, yours truly Akira Mado'."
"You're bluffing!"
"Nope." Juuzou shook his head and opened the book, flipping it to the last page to show Akira her own handwriting. This time her cheeks were beet red. "This is your handwriting isn't it? Who else knows?"
Akira grabbed the book from Juuzou's hand and she stared at her own handwriting. "If I wrote this then.. this should be his yearbook.." she mumbled. Almost disappointed to know that fact.
"Probably the reason why you never got a boyfriend is because you've been expecting him to give you a call, but he never did. Did he?" he continued to tease, forcing Akira to hit him in the arms but he dodged it. "What does he look like?"
"Are you sure Shinohara doesn't need you right now?" she wanted to change the subject.
But the boy shook his head. "Nope. He's catching up with reports and stuff. I am on standby until they call for me."
'Actually they assigned me to make sure no tentacle plans to kill you while you're recovering. You're the only investigator that was visited by my Mama. Arima said to keep it a secret. They don't want you to worry about it and neither do I.'
"This is our secret only. You're not allowed to tell anyone or I swear I will tell CCG to lock you up in Cochlea!" she tried to threaten.
The white-haired boy merely beamed at her. "Okay, I'm listening."
'Kaneki was right, you've already forgiven me and there's no slight hint of hatred from you. Thank you. For believing in me, Akira-san. This time, believe in me again. I will protect you from Mama no matter what.'
[Anteiku - 20th Ward]
Arriving back at the shop at closing time, Yoshimura, Yomo and the others were worried of Touka.
"Touka! Where have you been?!"
"What took you so long to deliver?"
When Touka didn't say a word, they turned to Hide who escorted her there. Hide had a lot of explaining to do. He knows that everyone in the shop was like family to Touka, he grew fond of them too. "She uh, we-"
"Jason has her." Touka spoke so Hide didn't have to lie for her sake.
Everyone already had a hunch about it but the way Touka is saying it, it was like she was stating a fact. Not wanting to assume, Koma spoke up. "That's what we think too. So we're all-
"It's NOT what I think! I KNOW!." she tells them. "The address I went to deliver the package, it was Jason's hideout." she answered with a monotonous voice. Her eyes were sore, her tears are gone but she was devastated. "His men tried to capture me, I fought back and Jason came and knocked me out."
"Are you alright Tou-" Yomo wanted to comfort his niece but before he could touch her, she jerked away.
"I'M FINE BUT SHE'S NOT!" she shouts.
Yomo did not dare to continue to comfort Touka physically. The manager stepped forward, he was worried as well, Enji and Irimi were like children to him, he raised them and took care of them that's why this news was disturbing to him. "We'll rescue her. Just like we did to-"
"She told me to run... she told me to run and leave her..."
"It's not your fault Touka. Jason is a powerful tentacle, if you fought with him you'd be dead." Koma tried to lessen her pain but Touka clenched her fists, still angry.
"I wish I fought him! I wish I had the courage to face him!" she shouts. "I wish I wasn't too afraid that time..."
"Touka-neechan..."
Hinami can feel Touka's pain, her feelings... she can hear Touka's heartbeat clearly. And she was bothered. Her nightmares were coming back alive. When Kureo was hunting her and her mother. When Kureo was hunting her...
"Koma, what was the address you gave Touka?" the manager asked, angry.
"It's back at the-"
"We're going to raid Jason's hideout tonight." he ordered. "None of my children will die tonight." he stated firmly then turns to Hide. "Your friend, the skinny one. He's an investigator isn't he?"
"Y- Yes." Hide confirmed.
"Tell him to prepare CCG. After we rescue Kaya from that bastar, we'll leave CCG to handle Jason." he instructed and Hide saluted him.
"Y- Yes sir!"
Then the manager turned to Touka, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Touka, you need to tell me everything you noticed about Jason to help us learn his weaknesses."
"I don't know, he- he just... he was.." Touka was hysterical but she tried remembering what she saw. Trying to ignore the lewd things going on in the room. "He has four tentacles. I don't know what it does. I- he didn't use any sort of power."
"I can take him." Yomo says, stepping forward. "I will fight him."
"Alright, listen carefully everyone. Yomo, you'll face Jason alone. Enji, you get Kaya out of there. Hinami and I will handle the guards. Your friend here,"
"Hide." Hide introduced himself once more in case Yoshimura forgot his name.
"Your friend Hide will give us a heads-up when CCG will arrive. By then we ALL HAVE to get out of there. Is that clear?"
"Yes manager!" everyone said except Touka.
Touka looked up and saw everyone's determination. "Manager..." she begins to say. "I'm coming too. I want to face Jason again."
"Don't worry Touka, I'll watch over you." Yomo assured her. The two turned to the manager for approval.
"Touka, you will lead the way."
[Hospital - 20th Ward]
Juuzou was laughing his lungs out the whole time and it was embarrassing the female investigator every minute. They spent their time talking about Akira's time at the Academy to keep them distracted of the hours passing by. Or well, it was Juuzou's tactic to keep Akira's attention diverted from what's happening outside.
"I can't believe you are the woman you are now after hearing all that." Juuzou said, wiping the tear in his cheek. "This is the second time I cried out of intense happiness!"
"And this almost felt like the second time I regret opening up to you."
"No please keep it coming." Juuzou says, trying not to laugh anymore.
A nurse entered the room all of the sudden, causing Akira to be conscious of the time. The nurse was holding a tray where the syringe and other medications prescribed to her are placed. Juuzou however, eyed the nurse suspiciously, especially the contents of the tray.
"Time for meds." the nurse says.
The blonde folded her sleeves up and Juuzou sees the red mark on her arm, it was obviously where the needle was always injected. "Why do you need medication when you already recovered?" he asked.
"Her body is still recovering from the exhaustion." the nurse answered. "Her will to live is high but her body is a little weak so the doctors provided everything for her full recovery."
"It hurts but it actually helped me get better." Akira agreed.
The white-haired boy pretended to let it happen and smiled. "So Akira-san isn't afraid of needles, huh?" he played along.
"I am definitely not afraid of needles!" the blonde wanted to gloat but as the nurse raised the syringe, she closed her eyes in preparation of the injection (history with needles? Akira hates them). Juuzou chuckled but internally, he glared at the nurse.
He studied carefully as the liquid from the syringe was being injected inside of her. It was a white liquid of some sort.
"All done." the nurse says and then takes the different set of pills on the tray, ready to give it to the blonde if Juuzou didn't accidentally fell on the floor, purposely smashing the tray and scattering the pills on the floor.
"Suzuya-san, you okay?"
"Oh goodness the medicine!"
Juuzou sat up and chuckled while scratching his head. "Sorry, cramps." he says while faking an innocent smile. He saw that the nurse shot him a dirty look before forcing a smile and picking it up.
"I'll go get a replacement." the nurse says.
"And I'll stretch my legs outside!"
"Okay?" As the nurse and Juuzou left the room, Akira was left wondering what that was about.
Juuzou grabbed the nurse's wrist and glared at her. "Who are you and who's prescribing these medications?" he asked, his voice wasn't that loud but he hinted that he was not friendly.
"I'm just a nurse. The doctor-"
Pulling the nurse closer to him, his glare did not falter, his grip tightening. "Try lying to me and I will cut you to pieces. If you think I am scared of other people seeing me hurting women like you, then you're wrong."
"No, you're not scared of what other people think of you. But you care what she thinks of you." the nurse eyed the room where the female investigator was waiting. "If you kill me, she'll have doubts about you."
"I can just tell her the truth. She trusts me."
"What truth? That you killed a nurse because she's giving medications to a patient?" the nurse tells him with a smirk. "Your Mama is sending a message Rei. Come home and you will be forgiven. For obvious reasons you are attached to this woman and she will be endangered because of you."
"Tell him that if he dares to touch Akira on my watch, I will cut him down the next time we meet."
The nurse yanked her arm back and glared. "It's a death sentence for you, Rei."
"Send the message and don't even think about giving her anymore of those drugs." Juuzou says as he walked back to the room where Akira was.
[CCG Headquarters - 20th Ward]
Kaneki was with Saiko Yonebayashi, waiting at Arima's office. Saiko was playing with her console beside him.
"So you love games huh?"
"Mmhmm."
"Why not take a different job? Why be an investigator?" Kaneki asked to save himself from the boredom of waiting in silence. Well, it wasn't that quiet since Saiko's console was playing a background music.
"They provide the financial needs for my survival." was her simple reply.
"You'd risk your life for that?!"
"I'm not on the field aren't I?"
"Yeah but-"
Arima arrives and Kaneki quickly got up his seat, dragging Saiko to also stand to greet the superior. Arima opened the door to his office and they followed him. When Arima had positioned himself in his seat, the two sat down as well and waited for him to speak.
"What is this about?" he asked.
"My name is Saiko Yonebayashi, I'm a transfer here a few days ago. But until now I have no squad or orders." Saiko recited the script that Kaneki prepared for her.
"Hmm, there were no notifications of your arrival." Arima says.
"Other recruits are on their way here as well." Kaneki added. "Your secretary told me that CCG was urgently in need of new investigators. I don't know why but I think they are planning to raid something."
"Another raid? Without telling me?"
Kaneki shrunk in his seat. "I am not sure."
#oshiete oshiete yo sono shikumi wo boku no naka ni dare ga iru no?#
Kaneki was in panic when his ringtone rang across the room. Saiko and Arima stared at him as his ringtone continued to play and the phone in his pocket began to vibrate. "Uhm excuse me for one moment."
#kowareta kowareta yo kono sekai de kimi ga warau nanimo mi-#
kaneki saw that the caller was Hide. He was tempted to answer but in Arima's presence.. he wouldn't dare. He rejected the call instead and put his phone in silent mode. "I am very sorry about that Arima-san, I-"
His phone vibrated again.
"Why won't you answer it then?" Arima said and Kaneki was confused if he meant it or not. "Answer it or I'll do it for you."
"Yes sir!"
Kaneki answered the phone. "YES!?"
"Geez calm down Kaneki!" Hide said on the other side. "Listen we have an emergency and-"
"Not now I'm in the hot seat." he whispered.
"It's about Jason. We'll help CCG catch him but you'll need to listen to the manager's instructions first."
When Kaneki heard this, his expression changed. Arima noticed it and was very curious what the call was about and who it was. Saiko on the other hand just yawned, tempted to open her console again.
"Okay bye."
"I assume it's an important call?" Arima says.
"An informant tipped off Jason's whereabouts. We should attack tonight."
