TOKYO TENTACLE 34
Sasaki Haise Arc - EP6

Kaneki was quick to dial on Juuzou's number to tell him what he overheard from Shinohara and Akira. He was excited to say the news because if Juuzou earns enough confidence that the blonde investigator likes him back then he doesn't have to pretend to be Haise Sasaki anymore.

Juuzou wasn't answering his phone, making Kaneki worry.

"Come on, pick up pick up."

*call connects*

"Hello Juuzou!"

The white-haired boy lifts the phone away from his ears and glared at the I.D. caller. "Why are you calling me using Haise's number? And stop doing randomly shouting at me!"

"I have something to tell you!"

"Yeah I can feel it."

"I think Akira actually has a crush on you and not Haise." Kaneki shared the wrong information, to which, Juuzou suddenly froze. "I heard her talking to Shinohara-san. She said she's liking you a bit that's why she kissed you!" he mimicked Akira's voice at the liking you a bit part.

"Wait did she tell Shinohara-san or the other way around?"

"Shinohara-san started the topic of their conversation." Kaneki says. "Which by the way, you told us you'd be talking to Shinohara-san and yet you're still missing and he's here with us!"

Juuzou chuckled, his lie would've been perfect. "I'll explain later!"

"So I can stop being Haise right? I mean, there's no point to it." Kaneki decided to bring it up.

"No."

"What do you mean 'no'? She likes you! Can't you see the big picture here?"

Of course Juuzou was happy to hear that, but if Shinohara asked about the kiss in the file room then Akira is covering up for Miza that's why she had to say stuff she probably does not want to say.

"Yes I see it Kaneki. You're the one who doesn't see the big picture. Let's talk later."

Juuzou ends the call and Kaneki was left wondering what that was about. He was expecting a thank you from Juuzou for saying that but he didn't.

'I don't understand this guy...'

Kaneki was about to go to Akira but then someone grabbed his arm and he was shocked to see Yoshitoki Washuu holding tightly on his wrist where he was holding his Haise phone. He gulped. Did he hear the whole conversation?

"I see you're quick to call your friends." Washuu begins to say as he took the phone from Kaneki's hand.

"No I-"

Washuu checked on the call log to see that Kaneki only had calls from Akira and dialed Juuzou. Washuu was disappointed but checked his inbox as well, Kaneki's heart skipped a beat. Akira's message was in there.

[Akira Mado: Heads up about the mass-raid operation in two weeks.]

Washuu studied Kaneki's expression carefully. "Weren't you two listening at the meeting?" he asked. Kaneki was thankful she did not mention Haise's name but it doesn't help him escape Washuu's sharp instincts.

"Uhm..."

He exited the inbox to check the contacts next, seeing that only Akira and Juuzou's number was saved there. "Haven't made any new friends besides them I see." he says before dialing on Akira's number.

"Sir-"

The number rang and Kaneki was definitely nervous now. If the first word that came out of Akira's mouth was 'Haise' then he's finished. Washuu is going to arrest him here and now. And he cannot blame the blonde since he was the one deceiving her in the first place.

He was sweating as he waited. They heard Akira's ringtone rang in the hallway. Right she was waiting for Kaneki.

Washuu waited until she answers.

"Yes?" they heard her speak. "Hello?"

Washuu ends the call and dialed Juuzou's number next. Kaneki gulped once more. His anxiety growing. If Juuzou answers and begins to scream at him then Washuu will know he's been impersonating Haise Sasaki.

"Getting nervous, Investigator Kaneki?" Washuu asked with a smirk.

"No. But why are you-"

The call connects and Kaneki held his breath as he and Washuu waited for Juuzou to speak on the other side.

"What? I told you let's talk later I'm busy!" Juuzou shouts.

Washuu pressed the red button to end the call, fully disappointed at the results. He gives Kaneki his phone back, his glare was getting scarier by the second. "If you're running out of friends then add my number there." he takes a calling card, giving it to Kaneki who takes it from him. "I've got my eyes on you, half-tentacle Kaneki Ken."

After giving him a warning, he left and Kaneki was able to sigh in relief, hugging the Haise phone that saved his life.

If it were his Kaneki phone then Washuu will see Hide and Touka in his contacts and probably invade his private texts and dial all his contacts.

'I almost died today...'

He sighed and remembered that the blonde investigator was waiting for him. He pocketed the number and his Haise phone before running back to Akira who was standing by the hallway waiting for him.

"Sorry it took me so long!"

"Yeah you did warn me." she joked and he blushes.

"Should we still wait for Juuzou?" he changed the topic instead. He was surprised she shook her head.

"Nah, he sent me a text, told us to go on ahead." it was a lie. He doesn't know it but something was up. Juuzou was busy with something as he said earlier, he couldn't have remembered to send a text. Or Kaneki was just getting paranoid?

"Right. Okay."

[Hotel - 20th Ward]

Juuzou was counting the money he had to withdrew from the bank. It was his earnings as Shinohara instructed him to but he had to use it to pay for the expenses for Miza's stay at the hotel.

"Are you sure there's no discount or something?"

"Do you have any coupon?" the receptionist asked. Juuzou does not know what the hell that was. "Or perhaps a gold membership card." he doesn't know what that was either. He groaned and just counted his money.

"If I don't use the TV will I save up a few dollars?" he continued to bargain.

"Sir this is a hotel, it's a whole package. You get the utilities you need after payment."

"Yeah well I don't need all the utilities."

The receptionist raised a brow on him. "You can find a cheaper hotel if you want or find an apartment to rent." she suggested. "This is not a market where you can negotiate a price, sir."

"Ah fine fine fine!" He did not count his money and just slammed it on the desk. "However long this money can last, just pay for it." he says and walked away to start looking for the missing three-tentacled woman.

"Okay?"

Juuzou received a call earlier from Miza that she wants to urgently talk to him but when he arrived she was not in the hotel. Instead, he was greeted with a bill to pay the damages she's done in the room.

And right now, he needed to find her.

"What does she want?" he mumbled as he ran across the street.

[Seinan Gakuin University Dormitories - 20th Ward]

A young woman with short dark hair was walking back to her room, carrying a book in her hand. She was massaging her temple, probably a headache she earned from teaching at the noisiest class she's ever had.

She takes the key from her pocket and unlocks her door, seeing that the window was shattered and blood splatters were over it.

Quickly turning the lights on, she sees a young man with purple hair lying down her pink carpet that was now stained with his blood. She dropped her book and locks the door in a hurry before running to his aid.

"Master Shuu!"

Helping him sit up, she can see the wound in his stomach slowly healing. "I.. have nowhere...else to go.." he whispered when he saw her face. He coughed and blood gushed out of his wound in the stomach.

"If Lord Mirumo finds out you went here, you'll be exiled as well." she tells him worriedly and slowly helped him up so he can lie down her bed.

She lay him down gently then opens her drawers to find something to feed him and help his healing increase its pace. Shuu grabbed the hem of her uniform to catch her attention. "I'll.. be fine..."

"But-"

"The One-eyed.. Owl... wanted to eat me... but I got away.."

"Have you been living in the 20th Ward?" she asked. The Tsukiyama household lives in the 11th Ward so she was sure if he was there the One-Eyed Owl will not get to him. "I'm calling your father."

"No."

"You need help!"

"One-eyed.. Owl... will wage.. war.. I don't want.. my family.."

She sighed and held on his bloody hand, he doesn't have to talk much. She understands. If the Tsukiyama group will visit the 20th Ward, chances of the One-Eyed Owl to see and capture them is present.

"Let me stay.. until I recover..." he pleaded.

"Okay. You can stay."

Activating her tentacle eyes, one of her tentacles manifested on her back and scratches her arm so that it will drip some blood for him to drink and recover. She placed it near his mouth and he bites on it, beginning to suck and drink.

She winced in pain but if it helps him, then she can endure it. She observed his wound that was slowly returning to its normal state.

When he's drank enough and ate enough of her arm, he pushed it away and was able to breathe with ease now that his bloody stomach had stopped bleeding. "Thank you." he whispered.

"Just rest Master Shuu." she tells him while wrapping her arm with a cloth. "Let me know if you need anything."

He nods and she stood up to prepare a warm bath for him.

While her back was turned, he opened his mouth to speak, "Matsumae." he calls and she stopped on her tracks. "I'm sorry, for being the reason you're here."

"I will still serve you and your family no matter what. That was my oath then, it is until now." she says and walked to the kitchen to heat some water.

[Restaurant - 20th Ward]

Kaneki and Akira had just finished eating and still Juuzou hasn't come yet. He didn't text or call them either. This made Kaneki realize that this was how Hide and Touka felt when they were waiting for him.

It does suck when they're waiting for someone not telling them if he's coming or not.

"Wow where did he go?" Kaneki wondered, observing Akira's expression about the matter. "It sure is late."

"Maybe we should get back. The squad meeting should start soon." she avoided to answer. Kaneki took it as a woman's main response when they don't want to talk about the guy who disappointed them.

"Ah you're right, but I forgot something at the dormitory. I'll catch up!"

"Right. See you."

Kaneki runs out of the restaurant, leaving Akira alone to walk back to CCG. He needs to find Juuzou ASAP.

'Where are you Juuzou? She's waiting for you!'

Or at least that's what he thought. What was running in Akira's mind is the talk with Haise earlier and the second call when Washuu dialed her number. She was wondering what was really going on with Haise.

[Anteiku - 20th Ward]

Touka was in her room, lying down the bed, reading a newspaper. Seeing the obituary about Kureo Mado, the investigator who tried to assault her and the investigator that Hinami killed.

"He will be buried in a few days. But he's been dead for a month now?" she mumbled.

She does not believe in the good words writetn about him but she wanted to take into consideration that the darned investigator actually had a daughter he left behind. She was an investigator too and probably as filthy as him but a life was still taken.

Someone will mourn.

If she were to take Hide's ranting about humans and tentacles maybe she can try and understand humans.

"If I attend the wake... maybe I'll understand." she thought to herself.

Knock knock!

"Come in."

Hinami enters her room, holding a paper bag with her. "Touka-neechan." she begins to say. "I'm going to the artmask studio tomorrow. Can I go alone?" she asked. "Or should I call Itori-san?"

"I'll tell Itori to pick you up." Touka says, not wanting Hinami to roam around the streets alone just yet. She's powerful she knows but Hinami was still young. It's still dangerous. "What did Koma-san and Irimi-san say?"

"Koma-san will be spending time with the new worker Nishiki. Irimi-san is just going to say 'yes' even if she's tired. I know it so I didn't ask her to come." Hinami said.

Touka chuckled and walked towards Hinami to pat her in the head. "I guess you know her too well."

"And you'll be spending your day with that boy again~" Hinami added and stuck her tongue out. Touka blushed and grabs Hinami, carrying her to her bed to tickle her for punishment. "No wait nee-chan it was a joke! Ahahahaah!"

[Ramen Stand - 20th Ward]

Akira was walking alone back to CCG when she heard a familiar voice at the ramen stand nearby. Sitting on one of the chairs, Miza was drinking shots of liquor with a sad look in her eyes mixed with unidentified anger and envy.

The blonde was sure she was the last person wanted to see right now so maybe she should just tell Juuzou to pick her up while she's busy drinking.

"YOU."

Akira looked up from her phone to see Miza was pointing at her, gesturing that she sits beside the light-purple-haired woman.

"Yes YOU hurry up and sit!" Miza repeats and the blonde complied. Eyes locked on Miza as she sat down one chair away just to be safe. "I hate you! No, I envy you. I don't know what is it about you that he wants! I can protect him and I can do what you can't!" pertaining to her tentacles which she doesn't want to say in public.

The blonde sighed, must be the alcohol talking. "We should get you home."

"No. I don't want you to do that, I want Juu-kun to find me! I bet if it's you who's missing he'll know where to find you."

"He just met you. You can't expect him to find you if you don't tell him."

Miza grabs her tie hard until their foreheads smashed towards each other. "I don't want you telling me that. Of course I know." she says, hiccuping afterwards. "You know what, how about we talk instead?"

The blonde pulled her tie back and fixed it so that it doesn't choke her. "What do you want to talk about?"

"One drink for my friend please!" Miza orders.

"No I don't drink during missions."

"You have no mission." she pointed out.

"Yes but we have a big one coming." Akira made sure not to say anything specific since Miza was a tentacle. If she were to spill anything then she would have violated Washuu's orders twice. The guy at the corner places a bottle and a shot glass in front of Akira. "So no thank you."

"Wuss."

"I am not-"

"Chicken."

"Hey!"

"Dipshi-"

"Okay fine!" Akira takes the shot glass, filling it with liquor and drinking it in one gulp. Miza refills it and hers as well. Hearing Akira hiccuping with just one drink.

"I saw humans play this game once." Miza says. "We take turns doing this. One will say something about the other and if it's true, you will drink. Until eventually the first one down loses and pays for this."

"Oh you're on!" the blonde agrees and Miza grinned.

"You kissed Juu-kun before the file room incident." Miza begins to say and Akira drinks one shot. "Oh you did... my, my, this is getting interested."

Akira was tapping her fingers on the table, thinking. But her mind was in a haze thanks to the alcohol, no question was actually popping in her head. Miza just waited, although she was wondering if the blonde will fall after a few drinks. "You like Suzuya." was all she can come up with.

Miza raised an eyebrow. "You're just stating the obvious."

"But you'll have to drink right? It's the rules!"

The woman nodded and drank as well. "You're aware of Juu-kun's feelings but you're hanging out with him as a friend." she said. The blonde gripped on her shot glass, refilling it and drinking again. "Whore." Miza mumbled.

"I didn't want to ignore him because it'll hurt him more! You know it's hard to be in that position!"

"Then just say it in his face that you don't want him and not give him hope!"

"I already told him I have a crush on a guy at the Academy!"

Miza stopped talking and pondered on that one. So Juuzou knows she has a different love interest and still... she was not happy to hear that. "Your turn." she says so she can learn more.

"You saved Suzuya from someone."

The woman rolled her eyes and refilled her shot glass to empty it again. "You really don't know how to come up with really interesting statements, do you?" she stated and the other woman hiccuped. "You felt attracted to Juu-kun when you kissed at the file room."

Akira's eyelids were dropping and Miza shakes her by the shoulder.

"Hey no sleeping! I want to know!"

The blonde hiccuped once more, trying to keep herself awake. "What was it again?"

"That kiss in the file room. It's more than just hiding me right?"

Miza failed to notice the blonde's hand reaching for the shot glass because she fell on Miza, losing consciousness already.

"Hey get off me woman! I'll kill you!" she exclaimed as she pushes the blonde off her, seeing that she was already down for the count. "Ah seriously just when things are getting interesting!"

She groped for the blonde's wallet so she can pay since she lost.

"Well, a game is a game. You're paying for this."
