A/N: Hey guys. I haven't dropped my story, but I have been busy with exams and all. Nonetheless, it's finally over! Yay me. In all serious, I will begin to writing my chapters again at the usual schedule of one every week. Therefore, with all that being say here is Ch.6, A Daughter's Legacy.

"The 20th ward has been experiencing an influx of ghoul incidents over these past few weeks, and we must solve this problem...proficiently. Therefore, I am sending senior investigator Mado and investigator Amon to the 20th ward. They will handle hunt the mother and daughter ghoul, and any other ghoul that rears their damn head."

Mado and Amon prepare for their new assignment, as they venture off to the once peaceful ward. "I wonder what new quinques I can add to my collection from this ward." Mado thinks. Mado, is a short man with white hair most likely caused from the stressful life of an investigator, carries a suitcase in his hand." I don't know sir. We will have to kill the monsters, and see sir." Amon says. The latter investigator is a tall man that has black hair, with the regular uniform for an investigator, and his own suitcase.

We will both survey the area and report back at this location in two hours. I expect to see you alive Amon-kun. Mado gives a smile, which holds underlying insanity." I hope the same for you sir, " Amon says, as he goes off to investigate.

Mado walks through an alleyway curious about the peaceful ward. To anyone the man appears to be a innocent old man, but to the ghoul he is food. The ghoul watches Mado from a distance not caring for the fact that the old man appears to be so thin. The ghoul launches himself at the man expecting a easy kill. Slice! The ghouls hand comes off, as it looks in shock.

Mado looks at the ghoul with the eyes of a predator that has found their latest prey. "You landed right on my spider web, and now you're gonna die." "Impossible. You're an investigator?" The ghoul questions; as he backs away in fear. "Article 12 states that ghouls aren't protected by the law."Mado says, before using his quinque to sever the ghouls's legs and head from his body.

"It's been three hours Mado-san." Amon says. "A rather curious ghoul attacked me, and I simply showed him the error of his ways," Mado replies in a teaching tone.

Yomo silently observes the duo noting the recent murder, and use of a quinque from the elder man. Amon snaps his head toward the direction of Yomo, however when he looks there is no one there. "Is there something bothering you Amon-kun?" Mado questions. "No..I just thought someone was watching us is all." Mado looks at him for a couple of seconds, "You're so on edge Amon-kun, but that is to be expected from a graduate after all. "

-At Antikeu-

The manager is currently teaching Kaneki the etiquette of eating human food."Kaneki, you must learn to eat human if you ever want to blend in with the society of humans. After all, is it not your dream for humans and ghouls to co-exist? " The manager says sagely.

Kaneki sighs knowing that he would have to master the art of eating human food, even if it is atrocious in taste. He picks up the sandwich and slowly takes a bite, then swallows it. He immediately throws up the small piece. "This is awful." He thinks to himself, before taking a larger bite and swallowing it all in some go. Consequently, making the urge worse as he grabs a towel and manages to gulp it down.

"Good job Kaneki." " You have a job for me? " Kaneki asks inquisitively.

" Yes, I have a job for you. I would normally have Touka do it, but it's her day off and we all need a break every now and then. Therefore, the job is to simply collect food supplies with Yomo-san." The manager says.

" Do you mean kill people?" Kaneki asks. Yoshimura smiles at the innocent of the boy. " No, but you will see when you meet Yomo. Now hurry along, Yomo is only patient for so long."

Kaneki goes to the destination that he is instructed to go. "I wonder where Yomo-san is?" He thinks to himself, but fortunately, a black car pulls up revealing to be the man he has been waiting for, Yomo. Kaneki gets inside the car, as they drive. "Yomo is this your car?" Kaneki is met with an empty silence. The car stops on the road, and Yomo gets out looking over the rail. "Why did we stop here ?" Kaneki asks curiously. Before he could get an answer Kaneki leans on the rail, breaking it as he tumbles down the hill before landing on a rough patch of grass.

"Ugh." He groans, while checking over his body seeing no sign of injuries. "This body..it is useful." Kaneki thinks to himself. Looking around the dark area, before placing his hand on something squishy? "What is this?" The realization strikes him, " I-It's a body. What's a dead person doing here?"

Yomo grabs Kaneki shoulder," This is our food supplies. The bodies of suicidal people." Yomo lets go of his shoulder before doing a small prayer for the man. Picking up the body, and taking it to the car, " We should be on our way." Kaneki only nods before heading to the car as well. The ride is silent all the way back, as Yomo disappears into the freezer and Kaneki sits at a booth.

Ring!

The sound of the doorbell rings letting the store know of a customer. Two people walk in a little girl and her mother. " The shop is closed I thought?" Kaneki thinks to himself quietly.

Touka emerges from the back, " Oh it's you Mrs.Fueguchi and Hinami, how can we help you today?" "Is Mr. Yoshimura here" Mrs. Fueguchi asks Touka. "Right up the back ." Touka points in the hallway before rubbing Hinami's head softly. "How are you today Hinami? Do you want me teach you how to read a book?" Touka asks the small girl, as she only gives a smile in response.

"Not right now, Ms.Touka. Mommy said we're busy today." Her sing-song voice warms Touka's heart as she thinks of the good times she used to have with her family.

The mother and daughter duo disappears into the back, while Kaneki observes silently. "What are you looking at Kaneki!?" Touka asks the now cowering boy. Kaneki stops cowering, as a sense of sadness overcomes him. "Touka. Can I ask you for a favor?" Touka looks at Kaneki losing her angry look, before adopting a look of patience.

"Train me."

"You want me to train you? " Touka states curious, at his request from her. " Yes. I'm tired of people getting killed because I'm too useless. I want to train to be stronger. I need to..." Kaneki stops, as he thinks of the people that have been hurt because of him.

Touka only sighs before cracking her knuckles. " I will not go easy on you." She takes Kaneki to the basement, as they begin their week-long tor..training session.

" One Week Later"

Over this week, Kaneki has learned that Touka is a complete slave driver. The bruises, the cuts, and the wounds would heal fast although they still hurt. Nonetheless, Kaneki improved enough to control his kagune without too much effort. He still had a long way to go, but he is satisfied with the progress for now. During the breaks, he would teach Hinami how to read and read books to her. Developing their relationship slowly but surely. The Doves have also been on the rise, as reports of ghouls dying have been on the rise.

"Moma, can we visit Kaneki and Touka today?" Hinami asks in a sweet voice, accompanied by puppy dog eyes. Her mother looks at her, then away. " Yes, we can." " Yay! You are the best moma." Hinami yells happily.

"I would not be too happy...Mother and Daughter ghoul. " Mado appears with his suitcase, and crazed look. I have finally found you, and I have a special present for the both of you. He activates his quinque and the horror stricks both of the ghouls.

"Father..." Hinami looks in complete devastation and sadness. Her mother told her that he was doing work, but now...he is dead.

Mrs. Fueguchi activates her kagunes and looks at Hinami. "Run dear." Hinami runs away, as she hears the clashing of her mother and the investigator.

Kaneki closes the shop today as he is getting prepared to go home. Little Hinami crashes into him crying her heart out. What is wrong Hinami? "M-Mother and the investigator are fighting. " She chokes out from her cries. "Where are they?" Kaneki asks as she points to the direction. He runs with Hinami while thinking of how he would possibly be able to beat an investigator. The thinking comes to an abrupt stop, as he grabs Hinami and hides.

He looks over to see the two are still fighting. "What to do? What to do? What to do?" Kaneki thinks to himself, as he didn't want the woman to die but he also did not want to be exposed ruining the entire cafe.

Mado laughs at woman seeing her futile effort to kill him." You will die, and then I'm going to get your precious little daughter. Which is going complete my collection of the father, the mother, and lastly the daughter." The mother avoids the strike glimpsing at her daughter and Kaneki. "She had to get them ti..." Her thoughts are cut short as the quinque decapitates her.

"Awe you froze. I didn't want ruin my new quinque too much." He laughs in madness, but excitement at being one more step closer to finishing his collection.

Kaneki hid Hinami's eyes as her mother's body drops to the ground, and blood sprays everywhere. He holds her close, as he makes a mad dash back to Antikeu clutching the traumatized girl with his life. "Almost there."

Life isn't on his side, however, as the investigator quinque stabs him in the leg.

"Where do you think you're going with my prize," Mado questions. Kaneki looks up in horror, as the white hair investigator stares at the both of them with a sadistic look.

"I have to protect Hinami, even if it cost me my life." Kaneki puts the girl a safe distance away, before activating his own kagune. They were in an abandoned area so he didn't have worry about anything but protecting Hinami.

" So, you are a ghoul too? I can't wait to see what type of quinque you'll be."Mado fires the rinkaku quinque at Kaneki slicing his face. "Oh, you can do much better than that." Kaneki uses his kagune to defend against the series of blow brought upon him by the lunatic investigator. He wraps his kagune around the latter and uses it to fling the man into the buildings. Panting, as he could feel the wounds heal.

He walks towards Hinami only to feel the quinque stab through his stomach, which drags him back to the investigator. This is far from over one-eyed. You killed my wife, and now I'm going torture you and make you feel what I've felt for so long...pain. Kaneki coughed out blood, as the man became much more aggressive than previously. "Shit. How do I beat this guy." Dodging the fanatic swings, as the investigator persists on killing him slowly.

"You can't run for ever abomination. Why don't you turn into the monster that killed my wife! Stop pretending to be so innocent." The investigator slashes Kaneki chest, then arms, then legs. Enjoying the painful cries that are let out, as he tortured the monster.

"It's time for you to die filth!" The investigator brought down the quinque aiming to sever Kaneki's head.

An echo of a powerful screech could be heard. Stopping both the investigator and Hinami's own cries as they try locate the source. The creature, One-Eyed Owl, appears in all its glory. The one kakugan glowing, with its twisted horns and pale skin, along with its gigantic size and spiky back. The fear overtook Kaneki and Hinami, but Mado looks at the creature with absolute hatred. "One eye ghouls...You will all die!" The hatred drips from his voice like venom, as he tries to fight the monster.

The One-Eyed Owl simply stares at the man, as his quinque doesn't even faze its armor. The creature back hands the investigator before going to Kaneki. "You..are..mine" The creatures states as it squeeze Kaneki's body. Which causes him to scream, as his body is being crush by the immense pressure.

The creature let out giggles of laughter, as it increases the torment for the boy. "Tell me who do you belong to?" " No one." Kaneki says to the creature before spitting in its face. Before he knows it he is press against the wall, as the creature shoots shards into his body avoiding the non-vital organs." I will break you, and you will learn soon enough."

The large creature jumps on the nearby buildings as it disappears. Kaneki drops to the ground as the shards begin to dissolve. His only focus now is Hinami and her safety.

Hinami runs to Kaneki and jumps into his arms hugging him close. "Please don't leave me either." The Autumn winds blow, as Kaneki hugs the traumatized girl. Then, the investigator that was once broken has already disappeared as well. Therefore, leading nothing to do other than take Hinami back to the cafe.

The staff of Antikeu are bunch together, as they are called for a meeting. Yoshimura looks around before finally beginning to say what needs to be said. " The doves have entered the 20th ward, and now we have to be highly cautious of the things that we do as ghouls... Next is the fact that we have a new member, Hinami. Her mother has been killed by an investigator."

Touka becomes livid, depressed, and angry all at the same time. " How did Himami get here then?" " I brought her here, " Kaneki says nervously. "But, I didn't get to save her mother..." Before Kaneki could react he is slammed into the wall by Touka, as she looks into his eyes with hatred. "You bastard, why didn't you help her!? You are fucking useless; I hate you; I wish you never even came here!" Jabbing Kaneki in the face, as she drops him on the floor.

"That is enough Touka," Yomo calls out. "He would have died if he attempted to kill the investigator by himself." " I rather he is dead than Mrs.Fueguchi! " Touka interjects before running into her room and slamming the door.

Silence struck the room, as no one wanted to interfere with an angry Touka.

"Back to business as usual everyone, and Yomo I need you follow me." Yoshimura says, before going to the back. Everyone leaves, except for a broken Kaneki and Hinami. "Big brother?" She calls out to him, then goes to hug him tightly.

Unknowingly to her, Kaneki is running through an array of different emotions. "I'm useless..." He whispers out in a dead tone that could even shake the hardiest of people. "I should be dead..." Hinami looks at her brother figure before hugging him tighter. "It's not your fault big brother...You saved me and I will always be in gratitude for the things you have done for me. Perk up, and smile for me. Even if it's a tiny one."

Kaneki looks at his little sister before cracking a small smile fading into her persona that he uses to take on the challenges in his life. The will to live for something ignites something within him that was lost, but now found. The power and will to protect those that he cares about.

Amon walks to the meeting place that he and his superior were suppose to meet. Not seeing any sign of him he begins to overthink the possibilities of what may have happened to the old, but wise man. Before long, however, the Mado appears heavily injured with blood staining his outfit. "Amon. Lets go to the headquarters of this ward. I have found our target, one-eye ghoul, and the Owl." Amon simply nods, as he can tell from the man that he was in no mood to play his usual antics.
