It was one of the most nerve-racking things Touka had ever done in her life. Sneaking past all those investigators and finally into the building. But she'd done it. Only now though... She was by herself. Kaneki had gone in first, at a different entryway, but he'd gone in first. Touka was scared at first, and more than expected to hear gunshots emanating from where he entered. But they never came... To be fair, neither Aogiri, nor the CCG for that matter, were expecting a break in at the moment.

Rize, Irimi, Koma, and Tsukiyama had gone in before her, not necessarily in that order, but that didn't really matter all that much. As long as she had friends on the inside. Yomo had been following close behind her, making sure she was safe when she got in, but she speculated he found a way of his own in. She had been lucky, There had been no CCG or guards waiting for her when she entered(or they just hadn't noticed) so she was safe for now. Now was the hard part. Finding her baby brother.

Amon Swung his Quinque, lobbing off some of the ghouls heads as he did so and pushing their lifeless corpses to the side. Underneath his helmet he could feel his hair getting damp. It was the anxiety. This situation was dangerous. These were close, confined, corridors, easy pickings for Ukaku ghouls and it gave Koukaku ghouls extra armor for protecting themselves. This was not ideal at all. To make matters worse the Owl had appeared. He was in here somewhere.

Then, to his left, he caught view of a blonde head of hair lurching forward, bringing down a whip which split in two an attacking ghoul. Akira... Koutarou thought to himself, concerned. Ever since the Owl had appeared... She's been becoming more and more violent. But there is also some excitement in her movements. Maybe it's a trait of the Mado family. But, she feels the same way whenever someone mention rabbit... I wonder if the Owl took something from them too?

And with that thought he parry away a kagune and Mado pressed the shorter- dagger like edge of her quinque into the ghoul. He gasped, the sound choking was evident as the blood began to well up in his throat, and then he fell over dead, or dying.

But, Amon for one, hoped that Arima and the Zero squad would encounter the ghoul. He was not necessarily afraid, but he knew that he and Akira alone were no match for that strong of a foe. In fact, the way that The archives had described him, the owl was described like an unstoppable force. Not God, Or the Devil, but a force of nature. Kishou Arima however was more than that. He was like- like an angel of death... True to his name. Which, in all honesty, was somewhat of a contrast. Death was normally associated with black. But if Arima had been assigned a color, it would be white. And he was the only person that could stand alone against the Owl. Only something divine could stop a force of nature.

Then, from their front. Two blue Kagune stretched out from the black abyss ahead of them, and crossed in mid-air. Instinctively, Koutarou grabs Akira and pushes her behind him, taking her our of harms way. The first Kagune misses, just barely, but it misses. thanks to his leap out of they way. Next, before the second Kagune could touch him, he separated the large Quinque into two and used his left arm to block the snake-like appendage. Koutarou wastes no time after that and attempts to severe off a part of it. This time he was the one that just barely missed, as the kagune was quickly retracted. Dammit!

Footsteps echoed now and slowly, ominously, two purple cloaked figures slowly appeared from the darkness now.

"It must be fate, don't you think so Bin?" One asked the other. Amon couldn't tell which as the masks covered their mouths.

"Yeah, must be, huh?" The other agreed. "That we would actually get to fight him this time. Aren't you excited Bin?"

It hadn't taken Amon to long to figure out. It was the Bin brothers. A few months ago, during the Aogiri raid, they were almost opponents, but they never got to start up that match. Still, it was two on one, and Koutarou had much less breathing room in here. Individually the Bin brothers were A-rank at best, small timers for Amon, but together, they were no doubt S-rated.

Then, as if a reminder he was not alone, Akira stepped next to him, almost in front, gripping her quinque in a battle ready position. Amon couldn't help but smile.

It'd been about 5 minuets since Touka had begun the task of finding Ayato that Touka had come to realize that she was trying to find a needle in a haystack. Only the "hay" was in the form of Ghouls and Humans. Both of which wanted to kill her.

As a result, Touka was being cautious not to make to much noise as she sneaked about the halls and made her way around. Still though, she hadn't a clue what she was going to do when she found Ayato. He was fairly adamant about not coming back to Anteiku. Actually, that was a lie. She knew, oh she knew. She'd have to fight him. But, could she beat him? As much as Touka liked to flaunt about her strength, she wasn't too confident when it came to Ayato.

Then, the sound of clashing Kagune sounded like thunder in the complex once more, but this time is was close. Too close for Touka's liking. Every nerve in Touka's body told her to turn and run, get away from the danger. She was frozen then, as she was crouched next to a corner that led into another hallway, The sounds of battle continuing. There was only one thing that kept her from getting away. The fact that it could be Ayato...

Then, Touka stuck her head out into the hallway to inspect the situation.

Koutarou once again batted away a blue, red-vained, Kagune, The force of which slightly pushed him back without moving his feet. Just as he thought the battle wasn't going as expected. He and Akira were at a disadvantage. They had hardly any breathing room and they couldn't maneuver at all. The Bin brothers were using that to their advantage. They were keeping close, but not so much that either investigator could get a hit in. They were stuck.

Akira didn't seem to falter at that, she, in fact, was pushing hard against her Bin. Who seemed to be doing much worse than his brother. His body language was frantic, in fact it looked like he was struggling to keep his strategy going. That was one perk of having a lighter quinque, Amon supposed, There wasn't much stopping you in terms of weight and speed.

Then, during his momentary observation of Akira's progress, Amon felt a sharp, stinging pain, piercing his right side. He had been careless and had underestimated his opponent enough to shift his focus. Now he was paying the price.

Akira watched as her superior was pierced through. It was slow motion. She saw him stagger, the blood spurt out like a water fountain, and then she saw him drop, with trembling hands, his two quinques. The ghoul released him and Amon began to stagger back, clutching at invisible stabilizers trying to keep himself up.

Akira had to act fast. She pushed hard against the Bin brother, making him stumble back and rushed over to Amon.

She caught him before he fell, supporting him and letting him fall on her arms. "Koutarou!" she called out, hoping he would respond... He did, but not in the way she'd hoped. It was a violent, blood filled cough. He was sweating, and the blood from his mouth had fountained onto his hair, making it stick stubbornly to his forehead. At least he was breathing... But they were alone and now it was two on one... Akira couldn't take them both on...

Touka didn't understand why she had stayed to watch. She could tell right away that Ayato was no here, not in this fight. Still, for whatever reason, she stayed to watch. Perhaps it was the primal need in sentient beings to watch violence, despite whether or not they were disgusted by it. Still, again, whatever the reason she watched.

Maybe it was that woman... Her smell, the way she flung that quinque of hers, it was all so familiar. Touka then sucked in a breath and realized that, the entire time she had been watching she had forgotten to breath. As she watched the blonde inch away, one arm towards the two, the other holding up the rapidly-losing-blood investigator, Touka gripped the corner of the wall and almost rushed out to stop them... Again, she didn't know why, for what reason... She felt that- that she had an obligation help.

But what could she do? There were two. From what she'd seen she could take either of them on alone. But together they would be a problem.

Then a hand gripped her shoulder and pulled her back into the hallway she was in quickly.

Touka was then pushed against the wall, a hand reached under her white rabbit mask and covering her mouth, muffling her protests. It was a familiar scent and she recognized who it was right away. The smell that was so familiar to her own. Ayato.

"Touka." He spoke, his voice slightly muffles behind his own rabbit mask. "What are you doing here?"

Though, Unbeknownst to her baby brother, he still had his hand on her mouth, muffling her. Touka didn't know if he noticed or not though, but instead of trying to speak through his hand like a moron, she decided to get rid of it. Quickly, she bit the skin of his hand, making him hiss slightly in pain and pull back.

"Dammit!" He whispered "What the hell!?" He then began to turn over his hand to see blood trickling from it.

Then, he found himself taken off guard again. But, it wasn't a bad feeling. He found himself in a warm embrace being held tightly against his older sister as she squeezed him close.

Ayato smiled then, it had been so long since he'd been hugged by Touka. He was about to return the affection when he felt a fist rammed into his stomach. He coughed, spittle spewing from his mouth as he fell to one knee and clutched his stomach. Touka had punched the air out of his lungs, and he was struggling to breath.

"That's for almost breaking my Jaw a couple months back!" She told him, returning to her normal constant mood. "Anyways, I'm here for you... and Eto. But, the others are getting her."

Ayato frowned. "It's not that simple... I'm afraid."

Touka raised a brow(unseen behind her mask). "What do you mean?"

"As long as the executives of Aogiri are still around, there is still an Aogiri... They'll keep coming for her no matter what. We'd have to get rid of them But, I've been looking for them. I can't find Tatara, I mean, he's stronger than me, but I hope hasn't left the complex, Shachi has taken off, but he was never quite devoted to Aogiri anyways, and the Bin brothers are-"

"Closer than you think... I think?" Touka finished for him.

"What?"

Touka then motioned with her head for Ayato to look over the corner. "That's them, right?" she asked, looking over with him.

Ayato nodded. "Yeah, that's them... This is perfect. They're distracted with those two humans."

Touka looked to him. "What do you want to do?"

"What I intended to before..." He replied.

"Right... With both of together, they shouldn't be much of a problem."

Akira was standing over Amon now, who was slowly losing consciousness. The Bin's had apparently decided to play with her during her last moments, as they tauntingly danced there way towards her, taking their sweet time. Akira wasn't scared... Not for herself at least. She just didn't want to go down without a fight, but she couldn't bring herself to leave Koutarou's side.

"Oh my Bin..." one spook in that eerie voice of his, "She looks kind of mad, doesn't she?"

"Yeah... well, she won't be feeling anything soon-" The voice stopped abruptly, and with good reason. Suddenly, from the darkness, red shard had lodged itself into one of their chests.

"What?" He said, disbelief somewhat evident in his voice.

Then Akira watched as two, small, Ukaku ghouls leaped over her and Koutarou, towards the Bin brothers. Most notable though were the rabbit masked that they adorned. Honestly, what happened after that wasn't much of a fight... Since they couldn't work together, the Bin brothers were significantly less powerful and honestly neither of the brothers was match for their opponent. In the end, it was a slaughter.

But that didn't affect Mado at all... The only thing that she could think about is that there were two rabbits.

For whatever reason. After the rabbits had killed the Bin brothers, they let her and Koutarou go... It didn't take long for Mado to call for a medic after that... Apparently sometime after that she collapsed. But who could really blame her?
