Chapter 133: Roscado (Mutsuki, Kaneki, Touka, Isaac, Aura)
November 24th, 2011, 4:57 PM
Ward 20, Anteiku
Touka is wearing a black vest over a white work shirt, small black tie, black skirt (knee length), blue leggings, and blue Converse. She is lost in thought, as she overfills a cup of coffee.
"Touka, you're spilling the coffee." Kaneki said, as Touka came to her senses.
"Shit!" Touka said, flustered, as she looked at Kaneki. Kaneki is wearing a black vest over a white work shirt, black tie, black pants, black leather belt, white eyepatch, and gray Reebok's. Touka has an annoyed look on her face.
"You should've told me sooner, dumbass!" Touka said, as Kaneki looked confused.
"Sorry?" Kaneki said, as Touka hands him the coffee pot, while she looked for some paper towels. Thoughts consume Kaneki as he poured the coffee.
Touka's been like this for days ever since Mr. Yoshimura allowed Isaac to stay at Anteiku. On top of that, the awkwardness between me and her has been building up endlessly, like wintry slope that's on the verge of an avalanche, Kaneki thought, as he put the coffee pot down, and took the filled mug towards the customer sitting at Table #4. The customer is 5'10, has brown hair (chin length), and amber eyes. He's wearing a black sweater, blue jeans, and white Skechers. The customer looks puzzled by Kaneki's appearance.
"Never seen you before." The Customer said, as Kaneki spoke.
"The name's Ken Kaneki." Kaneki said, as the customer had a curious look on his face.
"There's something…off about your smell." The customer said, as Kaneki's eyes widen in alarm. Kaneki then proceeds to return behind the counter, before looking at Touka, who is wiping the coffee off the floor with some paper towels.
"He's a Ghoul, too?" Kaneki whispered, as Touka had a deadpan look on her face.
"Yes. But he's not from Ward 20. Seems a little too weak to have a feeding ground from where he's from, so he usually comes here to forage whatever's available." Touka whispered, as they see the customer drink his mug of coffee.
"Hey. I took your advice the other day. After what happened with Hide and that research group he was with. I told him not to come by for a while." Kaneki said, calmly.
"What advice?" Touka said, annoyed.
"The one where that investigator was stationed at Ward 20. The one before, you know…?" Kaneki said, awkwardly, not bringing up Doc, Amon, and I, before smiling at Touka.
This idiot keeps smiling at me, even when I act like an asshole towards him, Touka thought, as she scowled at Kaneki. Kaneki gets the message immediately.
"Nice talk." Kaneki said, calmly, as he turned to walk away.
"If you ask me, they shouldn't come back at all!" Touka said, frustrated, as Kaneki quickly turned around to look at her.
"Say that again?" Kaneki said, confused, as Touka sighed, frustrated.
"Like I said, Ghouls come here for info." Touka said, as she and Kaneki look at the customer, who had finished his mug of coffee.
"He most likely takes humans to run down buildings or spots that people rarely go to, before consuming them. Most likely stalks his prey on social media. Keep your friend away from Ghouls such as him." Touka whispered, annoyed, as Kaneki looked downward, upset.
I see…Kaneki thought, as he looked at Touka.
"But he and I have always hung out…I know I'm stretching things, but Hide's a part of me. He's helped me out on numerous situations. If I lose that part, I…" Kaneki said, as Touka looked at him.
"The hell are you saying?" Touka said, annoyed.
"What you said just now. That I shouldn't hang out with Hide anymore." Kaneki said, reminding her.
Shit, he misunderstood what I said, Touka thought, as she spoke.
"Just forget it." Touka said, calmly.
"Did something happen today with you and Yoriko?" Kaneki said, wondering, as Touka's eyes widen in frustration.
"I said, just forget it." Touka said, angrily, as she tossed the used paper towels into the trash.
"What's with you? Is it about the guest upstairs?" Kaneki said, annoyed, as she looked at him.
"Look, I know you're pissed about what occurred over the last few days, but Mr. Yoshimura is following on Rize's…words to have Isaac stay." Kaneki said, awkwardly, as he sighed.
"My point is, the longer you let things go on for, the more likely things will get tangled up whenever we don't talk things over." Kaneki said, as Touka gritted her teeth.
"You never shut up do you?" Touka said, annoyed.
"And besides, Yoriko and I didn't have a fight. We just delayed our trip to Ueno Zoo for the next few days." Touka said, calmly.
"Say, where is that Dove anyway?" Touka said, annoyed.
"He's at Ward 6. On a date." Kaneki said, recollecting.
"And this is relevant how?" Touka said, annoyed.
"He told me that he met her a few days ago before coming here." Kaneki said, calmly.
"At least his life is going perfectly." Touka said, as she walked into the kitchen while Kaneki looked on, somberly.

"Mutsuki?" Kaneki said, surprised.
"Yes! I can't believe it's you…I…" Mutsuki said, as tears welled up in his left eye.
"I saw you get executed on stage three weeks ago. But…somewhere, deep down in my heart, I refused to accept the fact that you were dead." Mutsuki said, as he took Kaneki's hands with his own.
"And then I remembered coming here with you, Sensei. So, on a hunch, I stopped by. And here you are!" Mutsuki said, happily.
Over by the parking lot, I'm waiting for Kaneki and Touka. I'm getting impatient as time ticks by.
"¡¿Dónde diablos están (Where the hell are they)?!" I said, annoyed, as I tapped the steering wheel with my right hand. 15 seconds roll by before I take the keys out of the ignition.
"¡Por el amor de Dios (For fuck's sake)!" I said, frustrated, as I got out of the car.
Meanwhile, Mutsuki then grabs Kaneki's sweater.
"Sensei, please come back. I'll do anything I can. It's not too late." Mutsuki said, ominously, as Kaneki had a depressed look on his face.
"Mutsuki. I'm sorry…but you know I can't do that." Kaneki said, as Mutsuki sees Touka enter from the kitchen. Touka and Mutsuki lock eyes. Touka appears somewhat cautious, while rage boils inside Mutsuki.
THAT FUCKING BITCH! Mutsuki thought, enraged, as he then sees me enter from the back.
"¡Chicos, tenemos que irnos ahora (Guys, we need to go now)!" I said, frantic, as I then look to see Mutsuki with Kaneki. Mutsuki and I lock eyes. I appear horrified, as Mutsuki looks at me, upset.
Isaac…? Mutsuki thought, saddened, as I spoke.
"Crap." I said, alarmed.

Ward 1, The Chateau
Urie hears the doorbell ring and proceeds to walk to the entrance door. He's wearing a black work shirt, white jeans, brown leather belt, black leather shoes, and blue leather gloves. He opens the door and sees a Black Quinque briefcase, along with a small white card. The card read:
For Mutsuki.
A package for Mutsuki? A gift from somebody? Urie thought, as he picked up the briefcase. He closes the door and proceeds to go upstairs. He then walks his way to Mutsuki's room. He looks at the door for a few seconds.
He hasn't been in his room since August, but…, Urie thought, as he knocked on the door.
"I'm coming in." Urie said, as he opened the door. Urie then sees to his surprise, a wall full of photos. They're all the same. On the photos were Touka and Yoriko. The photos are being held up by 30/56 of the Quinque, Scorpion.
"Uh, Mutsuki?" Urie said, shocked as then he looks to his right. His eyes widen in shock upon what's on the TV screen. The TV is set to TV Tokyo, where the local news is on.
"Today, shocking news has emerged from the CCG, where Bureau Chief Director Kichimura Washu has announced arrest warrants for the organization known as Goat. Among them is the alleged leader of the group, former Special Class Investigator Isaac Gutierrez." The female news reporter said, as the screen changes to a photo of me and Eto, with Emilia and Asami.
"What the hell?" Urie said, in shock, as the FNR continued to speak.
"Among the many crimes that Gutierrez is accused of are the assassination of the 3rd Chairman, Tsuneyoshi Washu. He is also wanted for orchestrating the Cochlea Prison Raid that occurred back on 12/21/15, with the former late Associate Special Class Investigator Haise Sasaki. Not to mention the brutal murder of Dr. Akihiro Kano, the maker behind the CCG's latest class of investigators, the Oggai. They were made in the hopes of eradicating every Ghoul in Japan." The FNR said, as Urie placed the briefcase down.
"It is said that Gutierrez murdered Dr. Kano in revenge of what happened to his wife, Eto Yoshimura, aka Sen Takatsuki, who stirred an enormous amount of controversy when she revealed herself to the world as a One-Eyed Ghoul during the press tour of her 10th and final book, King Bileygr. Mrs. Takatsuki is also the One-Eyed Owl, who racked up a kill count of over 750 murders in the last 20 years." The FNR said, as Urie's eyes widen in shock upon hearing about this revelation.
"It is also believed that Gutierrez helped write the book as well, under the pen name, R.J. MacReady. And finally, Gutierrez is also wanted for multiple violations of Articles 88 and 119, for aiding and harboring Ghouls, leaking classified CCG information, and for working as the second-in-command member of the now defunct Ghoul organization, Aogiri Tree, where he operated as the elusive Mothman." The FNR said.
"You got to be fucking kidding me." Urie said, in shock.
"The CCG is offering a reward of 1 billion yen (around $7.8 million USD) for any information that will lead to the capture and arrest of this once renowned investigator. As for his daughters, Emilia and Asami, the CCG is offering a reward of 2 billion (around $15.7 million USD) and 2.5 billion yen (around $18.4 million USD), respectively for these potential Ghouls." The female reporter said, as Urie looks on, floored.
Gutierrez married the One-Eyed Owl that killed my father…? Urie thought, in shock.

"Isaac?" Mutsuki said, in shock, as I glanced away from him.
"What are you doing with Sensei?" Mutsuki said, confused, as I looked at him.
"Mutsuki, if you can give me JUST 5 minutes, I'll—" I said, as Mutsuki interrupted.
"How long?" Mutsuki said, tearfully.
"Mutsuki, please…" I said, calm but worried.
"HOW LONG WERE YOU WORKING FOR SENSEI?!" Mutsuki said, angrily, as I had a guilty look on my face.
"HOW LONG!?" Mutsuki shrieked, angrily, as I collect myself to speak.
"4 years." I said, as Mutsuki's eyes widen in shock while letting out a loud gasp. Mutsuki then sniffs around with his nose, as he nearly closes his left eye.
"It stinks of Ghoul. Ghouls were in this place just recently." Mutsuki said, menacingly, as he then pulls out a brown file for me to see. On it, it read:
Rize Kamishiro
"Were you married to the Binge Eater?" Mutsuki said, coldly.
"That file is fake. Where did you get that?" I said, coldly.
"FROM YOUR FUCKING DESK!" Mutsuki shouted, angrily, as my eyes widen in alarm.
¡Mierda! ¡Olvidé limpiar mi escritorio cuando me fui (Shit! I forgot to clean out my desk when I left)! I thought, dumbfounded.

Itori is wearing a black corset dress, black rim glasses, and open toed black heels. Her toenails are painted blue. She has a crowbar in her hands as she places it between the combination locks and pries them all open. All three locks fall to the floor, as a smile emerges from her face.
"Nothing like an illegal search won't fix." Itori said, chuckling, as she pulled out the files on Rize from my desk.

Ward 1, CCG HQ, 8th Floor
"Ah. ASCI Mutsuki." Itori said, as she sees Mutsuki emerge from the photocopy room. Mutsuki is wearing a white trench coat, white pants, black leather belt, black leather eyepatch, and white Reebok's.
"Yes, Miss Itori?" Mutsuki said, as Itori hands him the files.
"I found these lying around in Isaac's office." Itori said, as she smiled, while Mutsuki looked inside the files.

Ward 20, Café :re
"You knew. You fucking knew about Torso! You were the one that I saw in disguise at Rushima?! Yoko and Eto were the same person the ENTIRE time!?" Mutsuki said, angrily, as tears streamed down my face.
"So, it is true. The both of you have turned your backs on the CCG." Mutsuki said, coldly, as Kaneki had a guilty look on his face, while I had an upset look on mine.
"You killed SCI Arima. You killed our only savior in the form of Dr. Kano. You betrayed SCI Suzuya and FCI Itou. Project Q…" Mutsuki said, as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Me…" Mutsuki said, venomously.
"What WERE we to the both of you?" Mutsuki said, coldly. I'm struggling to come with a reasonable excuse for my actions when Kaneki speaks.
"You…" Kaneki said, as I looked at him.
"You all were—" Kaneki said, as Mutsuki interrupted.
"WERE?! So, Ghouls are more important to you two now!?" Mutsuki said, angrily, as I spoke.
"That's not what he meant! What he meant to say was—" I said, as Mutsuki started chuckling. He then bows his head down for a few seconds, before bringing it up again, this time with a ginormous smirk on his face.
¡Mierda! ¡Está en modo jodido Yandere ahora (Shit! He's in fucking Yandere mode now)! I thought, horrified, as Kaneki spoke.
"Mutsuki." Kaneki said, as Mutsuki pulls out his Quinque, Ifraft, and slashes Kaneki's left cheek with it.
"¡MIERDA (SHIT)!" I shouted, horrified, as Touka spoke.
"Isaac, run!" Touka said, as I turned around and ran, as Mutsuki tossed a 1/56 Scorpion blade at me. It lands on my right shoulder.
"Fuck!" I said, as I looked at the blade that's lodged in my right shoulder. I quickly pull it out with my left hand, as Mutsuki spoke.
"Aww, come on, guys. I'm just gonna remove a few obstacles and we'll all just head to the CCG, nice and quiet." Mutsuki said, as he had an unhinged look on his face. Kaneki then uses his right leg to deliver a roundhouse kick at Mutsuki, as Mutsuki falls outside.
"Isaac, go!" Kaneki said, sternly, as I got up and ran to the parking lot. Mutsuki then runs back into the coffee shop and pulls out his other Quinque, Abksol, and starts flicking both Quinques around. He then proceeds to slash away at Kaneki's face.
"AGH! Mu…tsu…ki!" Kaneki said, as Mutsuki flipped Abksol in the air.
"Yes, Sensei!" Mutsuki said, delighted, as he grabbed Abksol in the air.
Mutsuki didn't come by for a visit. He came to capture us! Kaneki thought.
"That lovely voice of yours…" Mutsuki said, lustfully, as he jammed Abksol into Kaneki's lower left arm.
"UGH…" Kaneki said, gritting his teeth as notices a weird smell coming from the Quinque.
Shit! RC Suppressant?! On his Quinque?! Kaneki thought, as Mutsuki punched him in the face, causing him to fall to the floor.
I can't use my Kagune, Kaneki thought, worried.

Ward 20, Outside Café :re, Parking Lot
I get inside the car and start it. I quickly drive the car out of the parking lot, as Blink-182's "Down" plays on the radio.
"The drops of rain they fall all over…" The radio blared, as I turned left, and sped up.
"¡DIOS! ¡MALDITO! ¡MALDICIÓN (GOD! FUCKING! DAMN IT)!" I shouted, angrily, as I punched the steering wheel with my right fist multiple times.
50 feet above me, is Aura. He's wearing a white trench coat, white pants, white leather belt, and white K-Swiss shoes. He's with three Oggai. Aura speaks through his left earpiece.
"Mutsuki, I see a Dodge Charger exiting the parking lot! But I can't see who it is. The windows are tinted." Aura said, as he sees me speeding away.
"It's Isaac, Aura! He was the traitor inside the CCG!" Mutsuki said, through Aura's left earpiece. Aura's eyes widen in shock.
"What?" Aura said, as Mutsuki spoke.
"He masterminded the prison break that cost your aunt her legs! Take him out now!" Mutsuki said, as Aura sees me stop the car.
I look at the rearview mirror, and Aura and the Oggai. My eyes widen in horror.
"Crap." I said, horrified, as I slammed the gas and turned right.
Aura grits his teeth in anger.
"Son of a bitch!" Aura said, enraged, as he then sees Kaneki being tossed through the window of the café, before turning to look at the Oggai.
"You three! Follow the Charger!" Aura said, as the three Oggai jumped down and ran after my car.
Down at the café, Kaneki is struggling to get up, as he sees that Mutsuki has summoned his thin, pink Bikaku tail and activated his right Kakugan.
"Kaneki!" Touka said, worried.
"Go ahead. Help him." Mutsuki said, mockingly, as Kaneki got up, only for Aura to jump down and tackle him to the ground.
"PIECE OF SHIT!" Aura said, enraged, as Kaneki looked up to see that Aura has activated his right Kakugan and summoned up his right blue Kokaku blade.
"Get the fuck up. You're gonna suffer for what you did to my aunt." Aura said, as his right Kakugan glowed bright red.
"Oh. You're SCI Aura's nephew…" Kaneki said, awkwardly.

I'm wearing a blue t-shirt, black jeans, black leather belt, black rim glasses, and black Converse. Kaneki is wearing a black sweater, black jeans, brown leather belt, and black Puma sneakers. Irimi is wearing a Nirvana t-shirt, white jeans, and green Vans. Emilia is wearing a blue sweater, red pants, and pink Skechers. Asami is wearing a green sweater, blue pants, and purple Reebok's. I'm eating my plate of huevos rancheros, while Irimi feeds Asami a can of strained carrots, and Emilia eats her bowl of Frosted Flakes. Kaneki is looking at the files of Project Q. He looks at Mutsuki's file.
"You're curious about an update on our teammates, right?" I said, wondering, as I took my Concerta medication.
"Uh…yes." Kaneki said, calmly, as I looked at Urie's file.
"Urie's leading the team now…" I said, as I looked at Saiko's file.
"With Saiko as his second-in-command." I said, as Kaneki looked at Touma and Hsiao's files, while Irimi proceeds to drink her cup of Café Bustelo.
"Those two are Urie and Saiko's protégés." I said, calmly, as I looked at Aura's file.
"Who's he?" Kaneki said, wondering.
"My protégé. He's the nephew of SCI Aura. The one whose career you ended." I said, as Kaneki had an awkward look on his face, before looking at Mutsuki's file.
"And Mutsuki?" Kaneki said, curious.
"Full. Blown. Obsessed. With you." I said, cringingly, as Kaneki had an alarmed look on his face.
"How so?" Kaneki said, wondering.
"I told him how most of the situations he endured throughout his life were similar to yours." I said, awkwardly, as Kaneki facepalmed.
"What? I was trying to comfort him, after what he did to Torso." I said, as Irimi looked at me.
"I heard about him. The Ghoul who went after women with scars?" Irimi said, wondering, as I nodded my head yes.
"What do you mean by what he did?" Kaneki said, calmly, as I looked at Emilia and Asami.
"I think it's better if I whisper it to you." I said, as I whispered into Kaneki's left ear. 20 seconds go by as Kaneki's has a terrified look on his face, before I back away from him.
"And Mutsuki did ALL that with a rock?" Kaneki said, aghast.
"Firsthand witness." I said, awkwardly, as we then see Nishio and Touka arrive. Nishio is wearing an unzipped blue sweater over a red t-shirt, brown pants, black leather belt, brown rim glasses, and red Vans. Touka is wearing a blue sweater, black pants, and blue Converse.
"Hey, guys." Nishio said, as I looked at him, who's carrying a brown file that read 1886.
"You finished looking into the file?" I said, wondering.
"Yep." Nishio said, as he hands me the file.
"The first reported sighting of a One-Eyed Ghoul." Nishio said, as Emilia and Asami looked at him, in awe.
"There was another One-Eyed like mommy, Tío Nishio?" Emilia said, curious, as he looked at her.
"Yeah. He was a hero who nearly wiped the CCG off the face of the Earth. He led a rebellion, with 500 Ghouls in his stead, and ki—sent a lot of investigators to space." Nishio said, calmly.
"It's okay, Nishio. My kids are aware of death now." I said, as Nishio sighed.
"They say that his army ate so well that time, that their Kagune could wipe out over a dozen investigators without batting an eye." Nishio said, as Asami looked at Touka.
"Is that true, Tía Touka?" Asami said, wondering, as Touka shrugged her shoulders.
"Beats me. Your mom researched on it." Touka said, calmly.
"In response, the CCG formed the ultimate squad, one that would wipe out the One-Eyed Ghoul's platoon of Ghouls. He was then driven underground, where he established a new community. Ward 24. To this day, the descendants of Ward 24 are waiting for the right time to strike. At least, according to the files." Nishio said, as I chuckled.
"I've never been to Ward 24 before." I said, calmly, as Irimi looked at me.
"Not while you were training at CCG?" Irimi said, surprised.
"My mentor denied me from going there. Too many haunting memories there." I said, recollecting Doc's time at Ward 24, along with my parents'.
"Did you find anything else in that file?" I said, wondering.
"Nope." Nishio said, as he sighed.
"Why are we even looking into Ward 24?" Touka said, puzzled.
"We're taking precautious measures. Those new Q's have been cracking down on the Ghoul community. They managed to wipe out all of Ward 12's Ghoul community yesterday." Kaneki said, as Touka, Nishio, Irimi, and I looked at him, in shock.
"You're kidding…" I said, floored, as Kaneki nodded his head no.
"I wish I was. Yomo, Tsukiyama, and I went to Hideout #6 last night. All the Ghouls in that hideout were burned to a crisp." Kaneki said, saddened.
"Not to mention, Doves are building a development over that place where people go to kill themselves on Ward 20. They've cut our food supply off." Nishio said, as Touka had a somber look on her face.
"I'm surprised the CCG took this long to do that." Touka said, calmly.
"Now, we got to investigate the descendants of Ward 24, and hope that they can lend us a hand. Though considering that they've never seen outsiders like us before, I'm hoping that they don't eat us." I said, awkwardly.

Ward 20, Undisclosed Location
"(You did this). Tidal waves they rip right through me." The radio blared, as I turned left.
"Come on, come on!" I said, frantic, as I see that the Oggai are still after me.
"Tears from eyes worn, cold and sad." The radio blared, as I see my guitar case. I then look at the interior mirror and see that the Oggai are gone.
"Where the hell are they?" I said, nervously, as my Charger gets hit from the side.
"Pick me up now, I need you so bad…" The radio blared, as the car flipped over. I see glass shatter around me, as a piece cuts my left cheek, while the air bag activates instantly. What felt like an eternity was over in 20 seconds, as the bag deflated. I undo my seatbelt, as I notice the three Oggai are closing in. I then look at the glove compartment.
"Target acquired. Preparing to engage Mothman." Oggai #1 said, chuckling, as he then sees multiple Q-Bullets fired at Oggai #2 and #3. Both fall to the ground, as Oggai #1 sees me carrying my Quinque, Rorschach in my right hand, and my Quinque, Milagro, in my left hand.
"¿Eso es todo lo que tienes (Is that all you got)?" I said, annoyed, as I looked to see a staircase that led down to a train station. I then make a beeline towards it and quickly headed down, as Oggai #2 and #3 got back up.
03/03/16, 6:47 PM
Ward 20, Café :re
"Kaneki!" Touka said, as she attempts to run outside, only for Mutsuki to come sprinting towards her. Mutsuki attempts a side kick from his right leg, only for Touka to block the kick with her elbows. Touka jumps back onto the table bar, as Mutsuki performs a front flip.
"You're being a very rude customer!" Touka said, as she activates her Kakugan and summons up her two vermillion Ukaku wings. She fires multiple red projectiles at Mutsuki, only for Mutsuki to dodge them with ease. Mutsuki then brings forth 4 thin, pink Bikaku tails and lunges them at Touka, who dodges just in time by jumping back 5 more feet. Mutsuki then jumps onto the table bar. The embers of Touka's fiery wings hit the alcoholic beverages that are on display behind the counter, as they burst into flames, while Touka's Ukaku wings disintegrate.
Shit! How good are his eyes?! Touka thought, as Mutsuki readied his Quinques.
"Die, you little cat!" Mutsuki said, as he lunged Abksol at Touka, who ducks down in time. Mutsuki attempts a series of lunges at Touka with his Quinques, Abksol and Ifraft, only for Touka to dodge left, right, up, and down numerous times.
"Cat! Cat! Cat! Cat! Cat! Cat!" Mutsuki said, frustrated, as he then lunges Abksol at Touka, only for Touka to jump up and knock Abksol out of Mutsuki's left hand with her right knee.
"You! You! You!" Mutsuki said, as Touka then does a front kick that knocks Mutsuki off the table bar. Touka then jumps off the table bar and performs an aerial kick on Mutsuki with her right leg. The kick connects, causing Mutsuki to lose Ifraft from his right hand. Touka then lunges her right fist onto Mutsuki's face, only for him to move left. Mutsuki then attempts a sweeping kick, only for Touka to duck. Touka then gets up, as she finds herself in a chokehold by Mutsuki.
"Got you, you whore!" Mutsuki said, chuckling, as Touka's eyes glowed bright red.
"Fuck off!" Touka said, as she summoned up her Ukaku wings again, penetrating through Mutsuki's body in the process. The attack causes Mutsuki to fly 10 feet before falling onto his back, as Touka deactivated her Kakugan while her wings disintegrate. Touka is huffing and puffing, as Mutsuki is barely able to get up.
"I…fucking hate women…" Mutsuki said, frustrated, as he looked at Touka.
"Touka Kirishima…you're probably wondering why I'm here today. I came to see you." Mutsuki said, laughing wryly, as he pulled out something from underneath his trench coat. Touka's eyes widen in shock as she sees Mutsuki pull out a photo of her and Yoriko, along with a severed left hand, with a diamond ring on the left ring finger.
"I heard Yoriko Kosaka is getting married." Mutsuki said, as a devious smile emerged from his face while deactivating his Kakugan.
"You see this? She resisted arrest, and this was her punishment. Ms. Kosaka has been accused of violating Article 119. She knew who you were yet chose to say nothing." Mutsuki said, as he chuckled.
"Let's go back to the station, sha—" Mutsuki said, as Touka ran towards him to deliver a spinning heel kick on his face using her right leg. The move causes Mutsuki to fly 15 feet across before tumbling onto the floor.
"I'm sorry. I don't know anyone by that name." Touka said, calmly, as she adjusted her right hand.

Ward 20, Undisclosed Train Station
"¡MIERDA, MIERDA, MIERDA (SHIT, SHIT, SHIT)!" I said, terrified, as I ran down the stairs, while trying to avoid bumping into the oncoming pedestrians. I get rude looks from the pedestrians while not daring to look back to see if the Oggai are still chasing me.
"We're in pursuit of Mothman!" Oggai #1 said, through his left earpiece.
"Avoid civilian casualties, if possible." Oggai #2 said, calmly, as I turned right.
"Joder, estos niños corren más rápido de lo que pensaba (Fuck, these kids run faster than I thought)." I said, frantic, as I pulled out from my right holster, Ozymandias. I pull back the hammer and quickly turn my head to fire a Q-Magnum at them. Oggai #2 sees the bullet and activates his right Kakugan to summon a large scaly red Rinkaku tentacle to cut the bullet down.
Shit, that guy's a Rinkaku user! Wait, that file…Project Miracle! ¡Mierda! ¡Este es el resultado del Dr. Kano perfeccionando su procedimiento Ghoulificación (Fuck! This is the result of Dr. Kano perfecting his Ghoulification procedure)! I thought, alarmed, as I turned around and made a left turn to climb down more stairs.
"Come on, come on!" I said, as I moved past more pedestrians before coming across a fire extinguisher. I run past it, turned my head for a quick second to fire another Q-Magnum off Ozymandias onto the left side of the wall. The bullet ricochets around, dodging the numerous civilians around itself.
"Look out!" Civilian #1 said, alarmed, as the bullet is stopped by Oggai #2's red Rinkaku tentacle, who laughs in response.
"For fuck's sake!" I said, annoyed, as I jumped onto a railway escalator and slid down. I look up to fire 3 more Q-Magnum rounds at the Oggai, as the civilians watch on.
"Somebody catch that psycho!" Civilian #2 said, alarmed.
"No, fight on, kid! Power to the Ghouls!" Civilian #3 said, excited, as I make it to the bottom of the railing, and quickly jumped over the ticket counter, pissing the security guard off in the process.
"HEY!" The Security Guard said, as he then sees Oggai #2 destroying the ticket counter, as he and the other two ran past the security guard.
"HEY, HOLD UP!" The Security Guard said, frustrated.
"Shut up." Oggai #2 said, annoyed, as the security guard has an insulted look on his face. I then see an ATM 20 feet away from me, as I ran towards it, and stabbed it with my Quinque, Milagro, from my left hand. Money comes out of the ATM, as I pulled Milagro out of the ATM, as I ran off, while the crowd notices.
"FREE MONEY!" I shouted, excitedly, as the crowd ran towards the flying cash, while the Oggai looked on, frustrated.
"Shit!" Oggai #2 said, frustrated, as his left earpiece goes off, while he sees me make a right turn.
"Mayuzami, sitrep?" The voice said, wondering.
"Busy, Hajime. These civilians are being a pain in the ass." Mayuzami said, frustrated.
"So? Push past them!" Hajime said, as Mayuzami and the other two Ghouls push their way past the civilians.
"Get your own money!" Civilian #4 said, frantic.
"It's mine!" Civilian #5 said, angrily, as Mayuzami and the other Oggai finally make it past the crowd. They sprint towards me, as I see that a train is about to leave.
"Don't you fucking dare close on me!" I said, as I pulled out a CRC grenade. I pull the pin and drop it to the ground five seconds later. An aura of red mist surrounds the Oggai as they run into it.
"Shit! RC Suppressant!" Mayuzami said, as his Kakugan deactivates while his scaly red Rinkaku tentacle disintegrates. Mayuzami then sees me enter the train, just as the door closes.
"Son of a bitch!" Mayuzami said, angrily, as the train took off. I am huffing and puffing like crazy as I look at the three of them, before raising my middle fingers at them. I see that all three are smiling, as I looked on, confused.
"What are they smiling about?" I said, as I sat down. As the train departed, Mayuzami speaks
"That asshole's fucked when he reaches his destination." Mayuzami said, chuckling.
"How so?" Oggai #1 said, curious.
"Bureau Chief set up a train station from Hell. Last stop is at Ward 11. Our target can't escape what's coming." Mayuzami said, laughing.

Ward 20, Café :re
Aura lunges his blue Kokaku blade at Kaneki, who jumps up and then proceeds to roll onto the ground, as Aura attempts to slash at Kaneki's head, only to miss. Kaneki then gets up to his feet, as Aura attempts to swipe at him with his Kokaku blade, only for Kaneki to dodge left and right numerous times. Frustrated, Aura then proceeds to stomp on Kaneki's right foot with his left foot. Kaneki looks down, as Aura then plunges his blade into Kaneki's stomach.
"Heh, heh." Aura said, as a big smirk emerged from his face. Kaneki then looks up with a cold look on his face, with his left Kakugan activated. Aura looks on, surprised.
"You think that'll stop me, greenhorn?" Kaneki said, coldly, as he placed his right hand onto Aura's Kokaku blade and pulled it out, while summoning up three of his red Rinkaku tentacles to swipe at Aura numerous times. Aura takes a couple steps back from Kaneki, and closes his eyes for a bit, giving Kaneki enough time to slam his hands onto the pavement. Aura then looks down to see Kaneki's three Rinkaku tentacle emerge from the ground, impaling him in the process.
Fuck! From below! Aura thought, as he screamed.
"GAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Aura shouted, screaming in agony, as Kaneki walked towards him, before deactivating his left Kakugan.
"RC Suppressant has a limited amount of time. Your mentor should've told you—" Kaneki said, as he then hears bicycle bells ringing. He looks up to see multiple Oggai above a rooftop 40 feet high. They're riding on bicycles.
"Huh?" Kaneki said, confused.
"We're not old enough to drive." Oggai #4 said, chuckling, as he signaled his left hand forward.
"Go." Oggai #4 said, as the Oggai ride their bikes down to where Kaneki is. Kaneki jumps back 10 feet, as the Oggai slam their bikes onto the building. Smoke and dust fill the air, as Kaneki looks at the mess.
Those wheels were too huge for bikes! Kaneki thought, as he then sees Oggai #4 riding down towards him. Kaneki dodges left, then jumps up a wall before jumping off it. His right foot lands on the front wheel, as he uses the momentum to kick Oggai #4 in the face with his left foot, knocking Oggai #4 off his bike, and causing to tumble to the ground. Kaneki then sees Touka emerge from the burning café. He runs towards her and grabs her left hand with his right hand.
"Come on!" Kaneki said, frantic, as he activates his left Kakugan, and before they jump onto another building, fleeing their opponents from the scene. Mutsuki then emerges from the burning café, as he then looks at the Oggai who are on their bikes.
"AFTER THEM!" Mutsuki shouted, angrily, as some of the Oggai had cringed looks on their faces.
"Chill." Oggai #5 said, calmly, as the Oggai sped off, while Mutsuki looked at the burning café.
Please, don't go. Please, Sensei…, Mutsuki thought, upset, as he looked up at the sky.
"COME BACK HERE, SENSEI! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Mutsuki screamed, at the top of his lungs, as he then proceeded to softly cry. Aura, who had managed to get out of Kaneki's tentacles upon the Oggai's arrival, is on all fours, as he looks at Mutsuki, somberly, while deactivating his right Kakugan.
"Tooru…" Aura said, calmly.
Inside the café, a blue antique coffee mug shatters to pieces, as the fire raged on.
03/03/16, 8:34 PM
Ward 1, CCG HQ, Rooftop
Urie is walking towards Juuzou, who has his arms perched on the rail.
The Assclown…Urie thought, as he spoke.
"Chief wants to see you." Urie said, calmly, as Juuzou kept looking at the cityscape.
"Pass. Want to watch the cityscape?" Juuzou said, somberly, as Urie let out a somber sigh.
"Sure." Urie said, as he walked towards the railway.
"This stench. It's the same as that night." Juuozu said, calmly, as Urie looked at him, confused.
"Operation Nocturnal Slumber?" Urie said, wondering, as he sees that Juuzou has a paper airplane in his right hand.
"Yeah. Lots of blood was shed that night. An endless number of Ghouls and Investigators were killed that night. But it never brought peace." Juuzou said, somberly, as he gently threw the paper airplane into the sky, while he and Urie watch it travel to who knows where.
"You've already seen the news about Isaac?" Juuzou said, as Urie let out a conflicted sigh.
"His wife was the One-Eyed Owl. My father was among her victims." Urie said, depressed.
"She put our mentor, SCI Shinohara, in a coma. Isaac's rap sheet…the things that Furuta said over the broadcast, it's insane." Juuzou said, somberly.
"Will fighting under Kichimura's banner bring peace?" Urie said, calmly, as Juuzou sighed.
"I don't even know what peace is anymore. People, Ghouls. If one species were to disappear, would that qualify as peace? Because honestly, I'm fine with the way things are." Juuzou said, calmly, as he turns around to walk away.

Ward 11, Inside Railway Train
I'm looking at the window as the empty train continues to take me to its destination. I then pull out my iPhone 6 Plus from my front left pocket. I press the photo app and scroll through the videos and photos. I then see the video marked 10/03/11. I then press play.
Rize appears on the screen. She is wearing a black sweater, blue shorts, and white flipflops.
"Isaac, it's me. Rize. I'm sorry for doing this to you. I really wish it didn't have to end this way. It's my fault my enemies are looking for you. If you think you're being followed, go to Anteiku. Ask the employees there for Mr. Yoshimura. He'll know what to do." Rize said, calmly, as I tried not to cry.
How many times have I played this since she died? Over a thousand times? I thought, depressed, as Rize spoke.
"Isaac. I will take great care of Milagro. I will ALWAYS cherish the memories we've made together. I love you, Isaac. I love you…I love you…I love you." Rize said, as tears streamed down her face.
"Isaac. If you truly love me, you will do what I'm about to tell you next. Forget everything about me. All the photos and videos in your phone? Delete everything. Please, for our sake." Rize said, as she wiped her tears with her left hand, while tears began to stream down my face.
"Watch yourself, Isaac." Rize said, as she presses the stop button.
I have my Quinques, Milagro, Rorschach, and Ozymandias with me, along with 4 various CRC gas canisters. I see a digital billboard inside the train that displays multiple wanted posters. They are as follows:
Wanted: Renji Yomo. Reward: 650 million yen (around $4.8 million USD).
Wanted: Chie Hori. Reward: 975 million yen (around $7.2 million USD).
Wanted: Hooguro. Reward: 300 million yen (around $2.2 million USD).
Wanted: Shousei. Reward: 300 million yen (around $2.2 million USD).
Wanted: Enji Koma. Reward: 550 million yen (around $4.0 million USD).
I'm scrolling at my iPhone 6 Plus and see the photos and videos that have me and Rize in them. Tears are streaming down my face, as I'm about to press delete.
"Rize. Siempre te amaré…Pase lo que pase (I will always love you…No matter what)." I said, as my voice broke. I then see my phone ringing. Caller ID says 'Unknown'. I answer it.
"Hello?" I said, saddened.
"Mr. Gutierrez, how are you doing tonight?" Furuta said, happily, as my eyes widen in horror.
03/03/16, 8:14 PM
Ward 12, Undisclosed Building, 3rd Floor
"They've hidden themselves very well." Kaneki said, calmly, as he looked at the night sky.
"Let's just hope we manage to meet up with everyone else. I'm worried about Isaac. All alone, with no backup…" Kaneki said, as he looked to his left to see Touka, who is sitting on the floor, with her back against the wall.
"Touka…you okay?" Kaneki said, wondering.
"I'm fine." Touka said, as Kaneki sat next to her.
"Do you remember your friend, Hide? What did you when you wanted to see him?" Touka said, calmly, as Kaneki had a somber look on his face.
"I never did get a chance to do that. When I got to that moment, all I wanted was to see him again." Kaneki said, depressed, as Touka looked at him.
"I'm sorry for being a downer. Let's get some rest so we can recharge…" Kaneki said, as he finds himself being pinned to the ground by Touka. Kaneki looks at her, surprised, as Touka places her right hand on the back of her neck. They look into each other's eyes, as Kaneki spoke.
"Touka…" Kaneki said, as Touka gazed at him for five more seconds before proceeding to kiss his lips.
Chapter 133 complete.
Author's Notes:
This was an adaptation of Chapters 35 (read the first post-credit scene), 123, 124, and 128 of TG: re, Chapter 2 of TG: Days, and Season 4, Episode 7 of the anime version.
Mutsuki, Kaneki, Touka, Isaac, and Aura take center stage.
Mutsuki finally knows the truth about Isaac's ties to the Ghoul community. And he, along with Aura, are extremely pissed. As a result, Kaneki and Touka get separated from Isaac, as he finds himself at the mercy of Furuta, as he is about to stop at the train station from Hell at Ward 11.
Meanwhile, for Kaneki and Touka, they are finally about to make love to one another.
Easter Egg: The title for Chapter 134 of the reimagining, "Roscado", is Spanish for "Threaded", a play on the title of Chapter 124 of TG: re, "One Thread".
Alright, for Chapter 134, it will explore Isaac's trip at the train station from Hell, where he'll meet some surprising faces as he desperately fights to escape the trap that Furuta and The Clowns left him with. For Chapter 135, Kaneki and Touka's love making session, where memories of their earliest days together will be explored.
But first, post-credit scenes.
Post-Credit Scene #1:
02/10/16, 9:23 AM
Ward 20, Undisclosed Location
Number of Days Sober: 51
Number of People I've Made Amends With: 13
I'm wearing a green hoodie, blue jeans, black leather belt, black rim glasses, and black Converse. Ayato is wearing a blue hoodie, black jeans, black leather belt, and gray Wolverine boots. Hinami is wearing a black jacket over a white sweater, black skirt (knee length), blue leggings, and black heels. Irimi is wearing a purple jacket over a pink sweater, blue pants, and purple Skechers. We're inside Irimi's gray 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. Ayato then speaks up.
"Hey, Isaac." Ayato said, as I turned to look at him from the back.
"Yeah?" I said, as he hands me a black journal.
"I found this while we were looking around at our old hideout. Doves will probably come to that place soon." Ayato said, as I looked inside the journal.
"Whose is it?" I said, puzzled, as I flipped through the blank pages.
"I believe it was Saeki's." Hinami said, as I looked at a page that was full of sentences. It read:
02/14/15
I wonder how long it's been since I parted ways with my previous girlfriend. I feel so fucking lonely when I sleep at night. I want my arms to touch that delicate skin to prevent myself from going off the deep end.
Why do people always feel the need to be happy, angry, or sad? How can I prevent them from leaving? I can't look into their souls since they're just flesh and bones.
Maybe I'm different from other Ghouls. I only recognize my own consciousness. I'm a Philosophical Zombie, as one would put it. A zombie, maybe that's what I seek. A zombie that is kind, and one that listens to me whenever something bothers my mind instead of running away from me. One who'll love me, because I can't understand emotions nor express myself.
But recently, there's someone out there who's causing me to rethink my purpose in life. One who is just as emotionally and psychologically scarred as I am. And her name is Tooru.
Seeing her and the numerous scars on her tanned skin that day on the highway has made me feel something that I haven't felt since my earliest years. She's a Ghoul investigator, but I could see into her eyes that she is carrying many secrets. Such as her true gender. She couldn't fool me with those eyelashes around her eyes.
I felt connected to her. She and I are alike. I don't need proof because it's right in front of me. Truth has zero reasoning. She'll understand what I'm getting at if I can find the time to talk to her. Because I've masturbated to her DOZENS of times.
I want to touch her. Every torn bit of her body. With each wound, we'll be 1mm closer.
All my previous lovers didn't, no, couldn't go anywhere, but they still never accepted me either. All their disrespectful insults, their shrieking pleas are still ringing loudly in my fucking ears. Their faces, twisted in agony. I feel disgusted thinking about it. So much so, that they eventually lose their faces. Upon losing their faces, I'm left with their torsos.
Those eyes, those noses, their mouths, their brow lines, their foreheads. I just keeping think about how many could have avoided death if they had accepted me for who I am.
Now, all that is irrelevant, because I've come to terms that I'll never be accepted. I'm done trusting humans who can move their arms and legs.
"Yeah, no wonder this cabrón (motherfucker) kept killing human females. He was fucked in the head." I said, with a disgusted look on my face, as I pressed the button to lower down the window. I then throw the journal out the window, as the four of us see it land on the snow. As Irimi drives the car further away from the journal, Itori walks to where the journal is. Itori is wearing a pink jacket over a black corset dress and black heels. She also has forest green nail polish on her fingernails. She looks at the journal and sees the written entry.
"Got it." Itori said, as she pulled out her LG V10 cell phone from the inside of her coat. She dials Furuta's number and speaks.
"Furuta. Got more evidence on Isaac." Itori said, calmly.
"Excellent, Itori. Any word on Dr. Kano?" Furuta said, wondering.
"Still nothing." Itori said, as she sighed.
"Come back to the office, then." Furuta said.
"Got it." Itori said, as she hung up the phone.
Post-Credit Scene #2:
12/09/11, 6:35 PM
Ward 1, Undisclosed Electronics Store
The cashier is wearing a blue t-shirt, black jeans, and gray Converse. He's 5'10, has brown eyes, and chin length brown hair. He's watching me, Nishio, and Irimi walk up to the counter. I'm wearing a green sweater, washed out black jeans, and blue Converse. Irimi is wearing a blue sweatshirt, black skirt (knee length), purple leggings, and purple Vans. Nishio is wearing a blue sweater, brown pants, black leather belt, brown rim glasses, and yellow Vans.
"Here." I said, as I place the B79EVA-PRO transmitter device on the counter. The cashier looks at it, before looking at me.
"120,000 yen (around $820 USD)." The cashier said, as I pull out my wallet and hand the exact amount.
"Uhh…" The cashier said, surprised.
"I'll throw in 30,000 yen (around $200 USD) for you if you don't ask." I said, as he smiled.
"Fair enough." The cashier said, as I hand him the 30,000 yen.
"Thanks. Appreciate it." I said, as I grab the transmitter device and walk to the exit, where Irimi and Nishio are standing at.
"Let's go." I said, as the cashier sees us leave the store. He looks at the 30,000 yen, before walking out of the counter.
"Easy payday." The cashier said, as he walked to the men's bathroom. He then looks to see blood oozing out of one of the stalls. He walks towards it and opens it to see the same man lying on the toilet, dead. The dead man is wearing only blue boxers and white socks. The cashier's shakes his head, as his face changes to Uta.
"Sorry about that. Boss' orders." Uta said, chuckling, as he pulled out his cell phone, a Samsung Galaxy S II, from his back left pocket. He dials Furuta's number and places the phone near his right ear.
"Hey, Souta." Uta said, calmly.
"Yes, Uta?" Furuta said, wondering.
"I got a good look at your target. He bought a transmitter." Uta said, calmly.
"What for?" Furuta said, curious.
"Beats me." Uta said, shrugging his shoulders.
"All right. Head back to your hideout." Furuta said, calmly.
"Will do." Uta said, as he hung up the phone.
Author's Notes:
Yep. Furuta has been getting The Clowns to round up any evidence to incriminate Isaac (Isaac tossing out Karao's journal, Uta disguising himself at the electronics store where Isaac, Nishio, and Irimi looked for the transmitting device to help them out at Ward 11 back in Chapter 28 of this reimagining) for over the last 4 years.
