either you have bad luck with whatever you do or life is against you at every turn...no inbetween even when you think you're in the clear

Isolation:
Hide's mortal enemy
Ken's greatest ally

Questioning life choices becomes to common these days

Either you have bad luck with whatever you do or life is against you at every turn...no inbetween even when you think you're in the clear. Thats how both Kens feel everyday. If everything is in fact linking to the original cycle, Touka was supposed to be the rabbit with butterfly wings yet Hide not only had rabbit loneliness, he was like a butterfly fairy with a sunny persona that has slowly drifted into negative thought process. Hide being human Touka didnt sound that off if yin yang proved Hide was the sunny happy jumpy rabbit and Touka was the grumpy bunny in the moonlight with a wing that looked like it was more than meets the eye.

To think Hide would have to meet Uta felt like a promising thing except the goth will be eyeing Centipede more than sunshine magician. Except Hide wasnt in costume. Kakuja dont normally chat up Uta in ward 4. Centipede was to set on making Hide look like a hostage if he could free him without injury, never noticing his human parents within sight. Mama bear wants to track down the hunter being Kanou and need answers for why 2 estranged halfas were with their boy.

"Wish you had a car? You may not get angry alot but damn that road rage." says Yuno seeming more ghoul than human.

"The world was ending for us. Not so much here." says Yuki.

"You need sharper eyes babe." says Yuno.

"And what would I steal at a time like this? We dont have licenses." says Yuki.

Amon...

Not wanting to infuriate Hide anymore with his constant end calls while mid talk, Amon rang up Arima's office.

'Unless they are acting like actual humans, there's no way the ghoul would let you bring them in.'

"Every time I ask for an update, Hide is unexpectedly enraged by life's expectancies." says Amon.

'So our newbie and estranged ghouls are a no show.'

"Not exactly. When we talked during the holidays, Hide informed me he had to gather items for his missioned ghoul roommate. He acted like he was ignoring yet called back to be nice yet whenever I went to talk, he had to abruptly leave." says Amon.

'Are the boys within sight or not Amon?'

"I tried getting ahold of the blonde only to be told Kanou had him in a hospital room awaiting a surgery that would result in an even worse way of his coworkers killing the boys off." says Amon.

'Kanou doesn't do quinx creations. He's a doctor these days.'

"He didn't give me much of a chance to talk, whispering that Kanou was on his way to turn him into something akin to a quinx that will force the ghoul killers to kill him off after seeing his kagune appendages and eye." says Amon.

'Get anymore info?'

"Again, Hide keeps ending the call mid TALK!" says Amon annoyed.

'So in the midst of tending to the ghoul, Hide got himself captured by our old coworker who hates the human race over the ghoul race.'

"YES!" yells Amon.

'How long has it been since the call?'

"A few days at most? Its really bizarre seeing the detective type sound frazzled at all times of the day compared to his calm relaxed anything goes mindset." says Amon.

'Change of plan, Hide is still our subordinate and will recruited to the quinx department. What kagune type is he?'

"We will find out when we get there. Hide has seen what the types are. His love of demons wouldnt put him into such a position. Temptations are a bitch." says Amon.

'Hide would do that. Now what kagune does he prefer?'

"I doubt he knows." says Amon.

'Kanou likes surprises. He wont know until he finds out himself.'

"Knowledge of ghoul kagune would lead to ukaku or rinkaku. Wings since he loves sunny days and chirps alot; rinkaku if he desires a renewed cuddling experience." says Amon.

'Noone at HQ cares what demon you are or kagune type. If humans scatter upon seeing them, we have to kill them off. Hide was gonna be a possible appetizer for the white head and black head. Now we are dealing with 3 ghouls who are off the radar.'

Kami university...

The group went to the roof to check on the trio despite needing to be in their respective classes only to see noone. Centipede had taken off even though he was told to fetch Hide when Isui was finished with school.

"Either Centipede took off and those guys went after him or they're all on an adventure to death door without us accompanying." says Roku.

"Boredom caught up to him." says Katana smiling amused.

"Kaneki appeared acting like Batman who sucks at romance to Spiderman through Centipede form except Spiderman is heroic while Centipede sets his own rules. Oddly, Ken and Peter got turned buglike thanks to bugs." says Takayuki.

"We will have better times chatting up favorite heroes another time. Hide saw Ken as Batman first so he is batman not webby spiderman. Especially now that we have 2 new buddies guarding the freak." says Katana.

'Hey guys!'

'Ken ditch? You stop seeing Hide a week and everyone stares at Ken weirdly.'

'If all you can do is stay on the roof having to miss classes, something sinister happened. Anything juicier than sinking teeth into flesh?'

The friends turn their heads to see the cult trio sneak up to the roof only to see no Ken to get more info.

"Cain, your face would make him flee if his mind wasnt on how Kanou fucked him over. Ken wants to make sure he is eating well. So far Hides scent isnt where Isui or the bug think he is. You'd think fast food places yet no blonde in sight." says Katana crossing her arms.

"Well, yeah, first meeting in the library Ken saw me as a enemy. The second go with all of you, Hide saw everyone as the enemy though Kiyama is a chipper one." says Cain frowning.

"We all know Hide so he cant be to far. He should be easy to find yet nothing is coming up." says Kiyama.

"You 3 are the last people we need around when hunting down Hide's location." says Katana.

"How hasn't Ken eaten anyone with the school knowing full well what he is?" wonders Cain.

"Gloom makes people eat yet Ken just walks about the halls, accidentally banging the walls and such within the halls with his tentacles to prove he is not absent before heading to the roof wondering how you 3 fucked everything the moment Ken decided to retry schooling." says Takayuki.

Amano couple/Kaneki...?

Before Yuki could talk Yuno back into their shopping spree, Yuno took off screaming for Ken to stop in his tracks. Yuki sighed and went after her and their son.

"KEN! MAMA YUNO WANTS ANSWERS!" yells Yuno scarily.

'STOP CALLING YOURSELF MY MOM! I AM PARENTLESS! PARENTLESS AND HUNTED! My mom had black hair not pink! Your lover might look the part but I have nothing genetic from you.' says Centipede.

'Who's the screaming woman and her companion?' wonders Ginshi.

'Some woman who acts like Rize. Her lover is basically the weakling ghoul you saw my twin as. My sane self may treat them like parents but this side only sees danger at every corner.' says Centipede.

"WHERE IS YOUR LOVER KEN!? HE DIDNT SOUND HAPPY WHEN CHATTING TO ME ABOUT THE DETAILS INVOLVING YOUR MEALS!" says Yuno.

'Schoolmates found a place for us to stay. By then Hide had disappeared and have an inkling Kanou is behind this. Beds in nurse's office would have to do. One of the schoolmates doesnt want anything science to be smashed unlike the rest of the abandoned school.' says Centipede.

"Abandoned school? Where? Ward 20 should only have Kami Uni...right? What is the place called?" wonders Yuki catching up.

"Explain the estranged halfas!" says Yuno.

'They bumped into me wanting to know where Hide was. Centipede doesnt exactly look normal to the public eye. The lazy bluette suggested using heightened senses would easily find meaty husband so Centipede has been keeping busy searching down Kanou's home. Centipede could do schoolwork outdoors but thats alot of papers blowing away and a dying mindset that has to think hard.' says Centipede unamused.

'She wants blood dude. Kinda like you but she means business...' says Ginshi looking at how small the pinkette's eyes were getting.

'So she and I have same personality traits...that still not explain anything. Genetic testing would say I not the son they love seeing me be.' says Centipede.

"That's why it's called adoption Keeeeennyyyyyyy. Give me one of the estranged halfas so I can investigate with Yuki." says Yuno smiling.

Centipede knew he couldnt abandon Hide so between the 2 quinx, the freaked shark Hide only other heightened senses user. Centipede lowered Ginshi beside Yuno to help them track down the hospital.

'Dont kill Hide impersonator. He and bluette are nice and want me as mentor. I dont do mentoring yet Centipede is the only tentacle user they saw thats been through combat.' says Centipede looking down.
