Ken Centipede pov: Dare I include the cult trio? Rumors are like icing on a cake. What looked normal despite odd factors before like cake batter with any color you want is now lathered in creepy movements and everyone fearing their death. So many paths for the first rumor to have and no truth until they see Hideyoshi in the flesh like a finished cake on display
Hide pov: to soon to imagine kakuja armor but what was to be a slow and steady pacing weight gain will have to become eat everything or zappy zaps resulting in seemingly usual human feeding habits exception being Hide eating himself out of house and home moreso than Ken intended
Oy vey life...Ken is better off on the roof all day and cant say much for Hide...Hide is Hide no matter what life throws at him. The students may be in for a shock but not in the way they're hoping when he comes back to school
"Ken never forced anything. I did it to myself and Ken went along with making my breakfast every day." mumbles Hide.
"What was that?" wonders Kanou.
"Ken doesn't force things onto people. He can barely keep up with his demons. I only got this way because I got caught up in trying to renew the old days. Ken doesnt like the idea of me gaining hundreds of pounds per day. He can barely keep up with daily stuff as it is." says Hide knowing it wasnt in him to hold grudges.
"The stomach knows when its famished anyway. I doubt you can gain kakuja armor just by staring at fresh food and not letting me feed you like the white head would." says Kanou.
"It's much creepier if an old man fed a teen slabs of flesh without the teen being able to say they're full. Atleast Ken knows limits. Only you know what type of kagune you implanted so feeding me will backfire on mainly wing users. Hard to say for the other types depending on amount eaten." says Hide.
'Bright as you are, a stomach knows when starvation befalls them. If you stayed human I'd have to use a tube to force mush down that gullet. With flesh, I have force it into your mouth since you're strapped down." says Kanou grabbing a slab of flesh.
"Boo hoo me. Students will think it odd for me to not eat during school like usual. They'll get used to Ken's predicament and wont bat an eye if we have to eat flesh on the roof." says Hide mentally rolling his eyes.
"Ahhhh but will that be allowed when doves could be rung up any second? The school cant keep quiet for long when kakuja are on the prowl." says Kanou.
Kanou walks up Hide to pry his mouth open.
"Lets cut the chitchat. You need all the nourishment you can get whether you like it or not." says Kanou shoving the first slab into Hide's mouth.
"That's gonna be alot of RC cells if he gets limbs cut off by the enemy." thinks Kanou.
"Food baby weight gain transitioned to corpse baby weight gain." thinks Hide shuddering in disgust.
Kami college...
"Dont say anything. Having Ken here does more harm than good." says Roku.
"If Hide was here, he'd say otherwise." says Centipede.
"Being called a dragon that eats the captive doesn't sound appealing anymore, does it?" wonders Isui.
"He cant take part in class if everyone is talking about Ken eating Hide. We told them what happened and now everyone is even more afraid to chat to bug batman. Its kinda funny how they treat smart loner like normal with jokes toward the duo and now assume it true." says Katana.
"The cult trio will need answers we can't readily provide." says Takayuki.
"Especially the purple hair guy. He was all kinds of bad vibes when met in book room." says Centipede.
"You mean library?" wonders Takayuki.
"That place." says Centipede.
'Doesn't that white haired ghoul remind you of someone?'
'The barista?'
'He kept getting freaked out over another him out roaming.'
'Twin-like hair aside, that thing isnt the barista.'
"You guys over there, is Hideyoshi Nagachika here? This is his college right?" wonders a certain shark teethed Hide going up to the group.
Centipede whisked himself around to face the intruder, causing the blonde to see a pupiless eyed white haired Kaneki dawned in freaky armor and ghoul tentacles.
"What...the...fuck...?" wonders Ginshi showing his ghoul eye.
Saiko face palmed before walking up to the sharky moron.
"Who called for doves?" growls Centipede.
"Noone. We are searching for Hide who we were told was attached to you at all times." says Saiko, her eye turning into a ghoul eye.
"Dont know where meaty husband is now. We were separated not that long ago and now we are hitting dead ends searching down hospitals after Hide asked for blood bags and dead people." says Centipede putting up his guard.
"So casual of you." says Saiko frowning.
"We were fine until the club snooped around us and everyone got in our business." says Centipede, "Kind of them to feel up to be eaten but me dont do that on purpose. Tentacles have a mind of their own though."
"Last you saw Hide was in a hospital before hunger struck. Lovely." says Saiko.
"And after I dragged Saiko away wanting to be our own heroes who keep Hide away from killing sprees." says GInshi groaning.
"We spotted ghoul boy and now we are questioning if this was the best idea." says Katana glaring at Roku.
"Centipede, the name Ken goes by in this form, thinks Kanou, if he is in this 'world', found Hide and is experimenting on him during our dead end searches." says Roku.
"He's getting turned into a quinx?" wonders GInshi.
"Hide and me look quinx but we eat like ghouls. If what we see of Hide next is true." says Centipede.
"What do you mean weirdo eyed demon?" wonders Ginshi.
"Ghoul parts in place of human parts, preferrable organs, make human more ghoul than human." says Centipede.
"No doctor from HQ turns humans into full on ghouls." says Ginshi defensively.
"Kanou does quinx treatment yet hospital surgeries make it easier without the human knowing until they to have to be hunted. I found out early on but who knows for Hide." says Centipede.
"Quinx eat like humans." says Saiko.
"Yeah, well-"
"Experimental ghouls that provide 1 human and ghoul organs in testing room, put them together equals humans who live off their old species. Nothing can change the transition." says Centipede.
"That's..that uhhh sounds fucked up bug dude." says Ginshi.
"You have to live it to understand life of human turned bug demon. I want Hide yet I'm stuck with humans that claim they were with the cult who barge into house to talk." says Centipede.
"That's great. That..That's great." says Ginshi sweat dropping.
"We're back at square 1 with only some Kanou guy who used to work at HQ that may or may not have Hide become a ghoul. As if the days couldn't drag on any longer than they should." says Saiko huffing.
