"Hello, Kaiko?" Tokie spoke to whoever was on the other side of the line. "This is Investigator Nitta Tokie, I've recovered the child. I'll bring him to the facility immediately." With those words she hung up the phone and looked back down at the babe. "You're going to be quite useful to the organization my little friend."

Objective: Examination of infant chimera ghoul
…
After successfully completing her mission for the CCG, Nitta Tokie had made several phone calls. Now that she had informed the organization she truly worked for, she took the infant ghoul to the secret facility she was ordered to take the child. Currently she was riding in the back of an all black limousine. The windows were all tinted the same color as the vehicle itself, making it impossible for those outside to see who was within and what was going on. Tokie was sitting in the back of the limo, in a bundle of blankets she held the newborn ghoul in her arms. Currently the babe was sipping on a bottle, like normal babies would drink milk from, except this bottle was filled with a crimson liquid: Blood but not human blood, the blood of other ghouls.
It was a vague fact to the CCG that ghouls could form armored kagune by cannibalizing other ghouls, but the organization Tokie worked for knew this. Something about the higher level of Rc cells consumed caused a mutation within the kagune, it became armored as well as the ghoul's entire body. The CCG just thought of these ghouls as abnormals and called them kakuja. They were very difficult to deal with but that's why Tokie had left Angel to the others, she knew of his kakuja nature and didn't wish to risk her life when so much was at stake. She needed to bring the child into her organization, they're going to start raising new cleaners for the organization and they want only the most powerful individuals with potential.
And this ghoul did have potential, it was rumored that Angel and Executioner's child was a chimera ghoul. Chimera ghoul's were a rarity among the ghoul world, where a ghoul whose parents possess different Rc types would inherit both. Rc types determined what type of kagune the ghoul would have and the kakuhou would be located in a place on the back depending on the Rc type. There were four different Rc types: Ukaku, located on the shoulder area, Koukaku, located under the shoulder blade and upper back, rinkaku, located around the lower back and waist, and bikaku, which was located at the tailbone. If this ghoul was a chimera he would have two different types of Rc types, meaning he would have two different kinds of kagune. That was superior to regular ghouls in many ways, due to the different and distinct weaknesses the different types of kagune had. A ghoul with two different kagune would have much more advantages than ghouls with just one type of kagune. If this child was going to grow up to become a cleaner and rid the city of troublesome ghouls, he'd have the edge.
Tokie absentmindedly held the bottle in the baby's mouth as he suckeled on the liquid inside the bottle. She was speaking on the phone once again, this time to someone she was much more commanding than she was Kaiko. Her lips were turned downward in a slight frown as she spoke to whoever was on the other end of the call. The newborn ghoul sucked freely on the bottle as Tokie was on the phone.
"Isso, are you there?" Asked Tokie and waited for a reply.
"Yes, Tokie. What do you need?" Replied the voice on the other end. The owner of the voice, Isso, was female by the sound of her voice.
"I'm on the way to Ikusei Facility, meet me there." Tokie ordered Isso.
"Actually I'm already on the way there. The Shikkō-sha called me earlier, he said I've got a new assignment at Ikusei. I'll be there in a few minutes." Isso responded.
"Excellent." Tokie looked down at the ghoul in her arms, he had drained the bottle of ghoul blood and was now falling asleep in Tokie's arms. "I'll met you there then." Hanging up the phone Tokie put it in a cup holder and then looked out the window as the limo wheeled down the streets of Tokyo at a leisure speed. Her thoughts traveled to the Shikkō-sha, he was a member of the organization and he was very dangerous. One of the only humans in the organization to take down SS-rated ghouls, Tokie was another. But the Shikkō-sha was more dangerous than Tokie simply for his ability to never be hit. Having seen the man in combat, Tokie could attest to the fact that he was almost impossible to land a strike on. Tokie, who was normally calm, cool, and collected she was always unnerved by the Shikkō-sha, he was too strong for human to be. She suspected him to be a ghoul until she saw him prick his finger to bleed for a test the organization was commencing. Other than that one time Tokie had never seen the man even lose a drop of blood, it wasn't natural for someone to be so blemishless. Even Tokie had been injured before, but she'd ever seen him injured, nor did he seem to age in the past four years Tokie had known the man.
"We're here ma'am." The driver spoke to Tokie.
"Oh," Tokie exclaimed, shaking herself out of her thoughts she looked out to see that they had arrived at a small shop in the outskirts of the nineteenth ward. The driver got out of the car and went around to open Tokie's door for her. "Thank you Kenjiro, you don't have to wait for me."
"You're most welcome madame." The driver, Kenjiro replied.
Tokie exited the limo with the baby in her arms and walked to the door of the building. Upon first glance it looked like any other small shop you could find in Tokyo. But on further inspection there was a card swipe. Tokie grabbed out a plastic silver card with a black bar along the side. She slid the card through and it opened a keypad and a small screen. Punching in a passcode then unlocked the door, Tokie gripped the handle and placed her thumb on the top of the handle it scanned her thumb. The door opened when she pulled on it and she entered the small building. It was only a staircase, movie theater styled blue lights lit the trip down. Tokie careful walked down the stairs, careful not to trip and fall or worse, drop the child. Once reaching the bottom it opened up into a long hallway, lit by thin light stips along the floor, which was dark tile, but while the floor was nicely polished tile, slick and smooth the walls and ceiling of the hallway were carved out of stone, rugged and craggy.
Tokie's steps echoed across the empty hallway, waking the baby in her arms. The ghoul's eyes opened slowly and he looked around, trying to see in the dark tunnel. Noticing the darkness the infant fell back to sleep soon after. Tokie was grateful of that, she didn't want to have to carry a screaming and crying child. After a few moments of walking, Tokie reached a large room at the end of the hall. The room had several other halls that branched off in various directions. And waiting in the center of the room were more members of the organization: Kaiko, Dr. Roka, Dr. Aneko, and the woman Tokie called earlier, Isso.
"You got here quick." Tokie spoke to Isso when we approached them.
"You were just a tad too slow, Tokie." Joked Isso, then fell silent when Kaiko approached them.
"I see you have the child." Kiako began, "Give him to Dr. Roka and you may leave Tokie, or stay and watch the procedures."
Tokie nodded and handed the male doctor the ghoul child. The babe shifted slightly as he was passed between persons but easily settled back down. His black and red kakugan had faded to form baby blue eyes, Tokie thought they looked exactly like his mother's eyes. He wasn't smiling like most babies would, nor was he screaming and crying. Just staring about, taking in all about him. It was odd for a child to be so silent but the members weren't complaining, it'd be terrible if the infant began to wail down here.
Footsteps echoed from the left of the room. Tokie whipped her head around to see who was there but as soon as her eyes fell on the person she wished she hadn't, walking towards them was the Shikkō-sha. He was clad in a leather trenchcoat over a plain white, button up shirt, with a tie. He had on fingerless gloves on his hands and a pair of black jeans and samurai styled boots on with padding and toes covering his legs and feet. His face was covered by a kabuki mask which was white with squiggly red lines adorning the mask along the edges and around the eyes. The mask had no mouth or nose, only eye holes which through them peered two green eyes which looked almost mechanic if you looked too intently at them. He held no quinque in a metal briefcase, like a ghoul investigator would, instead he had devices that could transform into quinque hidden in his trenchcoat.
"Is this the child?" He asked, looking down at the baby ghoul in Dr. Roka's arms.
"Yes Shikkō-sha, we were just about to commence the tests." Roka responded.
Kaiko spoke up, "I assume you have everything under control now, Shikkō-sha?"
The masked man nodded his head, "Yes, I'll handle everything else. You may leave now Kaiko."
Kaiko bowed and walked away, leaving Tokie and the doctors with the Shikkō-sha. He turned to Tokie, behind his mask his eyes looked her over. She watched him, wondering what he was thinking. She didn't have to wonder for too long.
"Nitta Tokie?" He asked and she nodded. "I've read your reports. Your results in the field are remarkable. You have fair experience as well as a high IQ and above average physical performance. You've taken down numerous ghoul targets for our organization as well as successfully infiltrating the CCG and becoming a high ranking member. Impressive."
Tokie bowed in thanks, "Thank you Shikkō-sha," She stood. "Words I don't deserve from you. Shouldn't we get the examinations done?"
"Of course, Dr. Roka, Dr. Aneko let's get on with the examinations." The Shikkō-sha ordered.
"Yes sir, right away." Both doctors nodded and headed to a room with two-way mirror along its walls. Tokiem Isso, and the Shikkō-sha stood outside as the two doctors entered and began tests on the infant ghoul. They drew blood with a quinque steel syringe, not wanting to stab the baby in his eyes. They also did brain scans and x-rays on the sleeping child. Tokie watched with a strange interest as the newborn was examined. It wasn't something she would normally be interested in, she would've left by now but she wanted to know why the Shikkō-sha had called Isso here and why he was here.
"Shikkō-sha," Tokie began, he responded with a hum, turning from the procedures to face Tokie. "May I ask why Isso is here?"
"Ah, yes Isso is here because she will be in charge of raising the child. If his upbringing is successful we'll have a new cleaner on our hands." His answer was precise and simple, as usual.
Tokie nodded, "So she'll become the ghoul's maternal figure?"
"I think Isso would be better fit to answer that question." The Shikkō-sha turned back to the doctors looking over the baby.
"Well Isso?" Tokie asked, also looking back at the baby on the other side of the glass.
"Yes, I'm raising him. Hopefully everything goes according to plan and he'll be helpful to the organization." Her voice was seemed hopeful but there was doubt hidden behind her eyes.
"And if it doesn't?" Tokie asked, watching the doctors check the child's heartbeat.
The Shikkō-sha cut in, his voice cold and emotionless. "Then he'll become a failed experiment, just another ghoul to hunt down."
Tokie frowned for a moment but it was masked by her normal stoic face. "I'm heading home for tonight, today is Sunday and I don't have work for the CCG. If you need me, call my home phone." With those words Tokie left the Shikkō-sha and Isso to watch the infant ghoul. But as she walked back down the hallway she couldn't help but feel like this whole thing was a bad idea.
"What should I call him?" Isso asked the Shikkō-sha.
"Call him Agent Chimera, he needs no name other than that." The man behind the mask replied. "Remember, we're turning him to a weapon. He's not going to be something you should care about. Just make sure he grows and develops properly Isso."
"Right." She looked down, wondering how difficult it would be. "But won't eating other ghouls affect his mental state?" She asked.
"Perhaps, if so the scientists will handle it. They'll be in charge of monitoring his mental as well as physical health. I'll be training him once he can walk and talk properly. Once I deem him ready he'll be sent on his first assignment." The Shikkō-sha paused and turned to look at Isso, "It's very important that he doesn't know the truth about his true parents. If he ever learns the truth it's possible he'll turn against us. Oh!" He exclaimed, "I did had Dr. Roka insert a small device into the back of the child's neck, it's connected to his nervous system, if he does go out of control that device will go off and it will kill him. It's nothing more than a precaution."
Isso's eyes widened in shock, "B… But why would you-"
He cut her off, "It's simple, we don't want our weapon to get out of control or possibly fall into the wrong hands. I'd rather kill the ghoul than him turn against us. He could reveal our organization to others if he goes rogue and we don't take care of it. So that device is for… Insurity purposes."
A hint of fear shown in Isso's eyes. She had heard stories about the Shikkō-sha but she never imagined him to be this… Cruel. He spoke of the like it was nothing more than a tool to him. The masked man was almost a robot with his emotions.
He didn't seem to care about her shock, he continued to speak. "As I've already informed you, the child will be raised on the flesh of other ghouls, that cannibalism will cause him to form a kakuja. It'll be interesting to see a chimera kakuja in action." His last remark seemed to be to himself. "He's kagune and body will become armored and much stronger. It's a mutation we're hoping for early on, you asked if his mental state will be affected? Most likely it will but just tell him that he has a rare blood defect and due to his chimera nature human blood doesn't have enough Rc cells for him to keep running. He has to eat ghouls so that he'll stay alive. It's not a total lie." He looked at Isso to see that her shock had turned to an stern gaze, he approved of the shift in attitude and continued. "Being a rare chimera ghoul he has two types of kagune, his mother's rinkaku and his father's ukaku. That's actually why I choose him, those two types of kagune are positioned so if one has a weakness the other can make up for it. It was a shame to loose his father from the organization but he should've known he couldn't keep his child from us." The Shikkō-sha's words rocked Isso to her core but she steeled herself, she knew she couldn't be soft on the child, the organization was trusting her.
The Shikkō-sha nodded to Isso and left her in the room by herself. She'd be spending a long time there from now on. As he walked away, the Shikkō-sha began to think to himself. His thoughts traveled to the father of the chimera ghoul. The two of them had been friends within the organization until the child was born. When the Shikkō-sha discovered the child's nature as a chimera ghoul he wanted him for the organization but Angel had refused. The Shikkō-sha was the one who called for their termination after Angel refused to hand his child over to the organization. 'Poor Hazuma Miharu, you couldn't protect your wife or yourself, you couldn't even keep me from your child. He's mine now Hazuma and I'll raise him as a weapon, an object of my will. And with you dead there's nothing you can do to stop me.'
The Shikkō-sha walked into another room of the facility. This room was larger than the main center room, but just as empty. This room was all quinque steel, the floor, walls, and ceiling all made of the special metal. There were four doors to enter the room, each had a sloped incline down to a circular arena but there was a higher walkway around the entire room with low walls and railings, separating the walkway from the inner arena. There were bar lights along the wall where it met with the ceiling and from the ceiling there was a large watch station. It looked like a full glass ball with metal supports. Inside the station was a computer and board, which controlled the room below.
The Shikkō-sha nodded in approval of the room. He'd train the ghoul here, and in a few years the pristine, shiny metal would be splotched with blood, scraped up and dented. He didn't plan on taking it easy on the young ghoul, he'd turn the child into a weapon for the organization. A new cleaner is just what they needed and this chimera ghoul would fit the bill perfectly after he grew and trained up a bit. The Shikkō-sha had no doubt that his old friend's son would be one of the most dangerous cleaners their organization would ever have.
'Still, it's a shame you had to die Hazuma. If you had just complied with my request this wouldn't have happened. And perhaps you could've trained him. But now it's my job, I'll make sure he becomes exactly what V needs.'
So this is late but exams and whatnot are keeping me kinda busy. I've been working on this on ever since the last chapter came out. So yea, it's been a work in progress for awhile now. It's not as long as the first rebooted chapter but I think it works. Lemme know what y'all thought. Anything I can fix?
Also, sorry for all the discriptive shit. I felt it nessacary to explain ghoul biology and what not. It felt right to explain it with the nature of the chimera because that's what the ghoul is.
Shoutouts!
Sagrn: Angel was definitely fun to write. I thought that I'd use a spiritual, kinda heavenly base for him because in the original he had angel wing ukaku. So it really liked what I did with him. And yes, that line was my favorite character quote of like forever. And yea, sorry he had to die.
Those were my thoughts exactly Miyako15! And yes, more detailed was one of the goals. A few other goals were more character separation, making everyone talk differently, I think I did that. I'm not sure because almost everyone so far is really smart and rich. Well kinda rich, it's a perk of being with V. Doshi will be in this one, but not till later because of storyline reasons.
I was originally gonna do that, LocusScorpion. But I decided to just reboot it in this. I didn't want y'all to have to go find a whole new story.
hoobab, if you don't know: Kaiko is actually a character in the anime and manga. He's a mysterious member of V. He's got strange dark lips and wears dark clothes and stuff. He's kinda important to his story. Ishimaru is completely crazy, well he's… No he's crazy. He, Ikku, and Ayumu aren't from V, only Tokie is. Obvious from this chapter, I think. And Harry Potter huh? Didn't even think about it like that. And he's got his mom's eyes but looks like his dad, yea totally Harry Potter lol. XP
