Juuzou sat on the bench inside the van with many other CCG members. He held his quinque case between his legs as the bus bounced along. All the men were hunched over in their gray uniforms, grim looks on their faces. Everyone looked like they had just signed their life away. Sadly, some of them had. Not Juuzou though. He sat there, a smile on his face, thinking about the night before. He had kissed Sen. He had finally done it. After he had kissed her, she had had to leave. She had said she had 'important business' to take care of.

If Juuzou was being completely honest with himself, he wasn't exactly sure what Sen and him were. They were more than friends for sure, but he knew they weren't dating. He wanted to date her, but he wasn't even sure what dating really was and what it involved. He pondered asking Kiniko, but then quickly decided against it.

The van stopped near the abandoned building, all the other transports joining. Choppers filled the air with noise.

The man in their van that was in charge gave the CCG men their orders, and the doors were opened. Everybody rushed out. The goal: make it inside the building.

Robed Aogiri members shot at the CGG men as they raced toward the building, but Juuzou was fast enough to dodge everything. He slid inside the building and opened his quinque case. He twirled his scythe around and raced further inside to find the ghouls.

It didn't take long. Soon he was surrounded by eight Aogiri tree ghouls, all wearing the typical skull masks and maroon robes. Suzuya laughed and swung his scythe around. He made quick work of them, and soon the floor and Juuzou himself was blood soaked.

As he slaughtered the ghouls, Juuzou found himself doing what he did for more of a purpose than usual. As he slashed and hacked, he thought of Shinohara. He was doing this to make Shinohara proud. And he thought of Sen. He was doing this to avenge her mother.

He made his way to the heart of the building, and in the very center, standing in an abandoned office that had a high ceiling, plaster peeling off the walls and broken chairs and flipped tables, was a female ghoul.

She wore a magenta dress with the sleeves ripped off. It came down to her knees and had a hood with two pieces of cloth that hung off, resembling ears. Around her neck was a pink scarf with red flowers on it. The oddest thing about the ghoul was that she was wrapped from head to toe in bandages. Juuzou couldn't see her eyes, just to black holes.

"Aren't you an odd one!" Juuzou giggled. "Well, time to die!" he said, spinning is scythe around.

Eto's heart raced. If she took full form, Juuzou wouldn't survive. She made the quick decision to use her ukaku kakuja kagune only. Her kagune erupted from her back and she began shooting at him.

He dodged her without issue, probably because Eto wasn't trying. The white haired man swung his scythe around, slashing at the bandaged ghoul with a demented look in his eyes.

"Why won't you die already?" Juuzou said in a whiney voice. "I want to see your guts go everywhere!"

Eto's heart twisted as she continued to dodge his purple blade. This man wanted her to die. She remembered the sweet taste of his lips from the night before. She knew this fight was going to drain her if she didn't make a move soon. But could she bring herself to harm this man she had grown to care for so much?

Juuzou was tiring a little, moves getting sloppier. Eto saw this as her chance. She grit her teeth, told herself this is what she had to do, and shot at the man she had kissed the night before without mercy.

Suddenly, Juuzou stopped swing around his scythe. He stared down at his stomach. A spike of the bandaged ghoul's kagune was protruding out.

"I can't breath," he stuttered, and then fell to the ground. The scythe clattered out of his hands, and his red eyes remained locked on the ghoul whom had wounded him.

Eto stared at him. "What have I done?" she said to softly for Juuzou to hear. The bandages covering her face began to become wet from tears.

"Suzuya!" she heard from right outside the room they were in.

Investigators Amon, Akira, and Kiniko ran into the room, and then came to a grinding halt.

"Suzuya," Amon said, looking at Juuzou, who was now struggling to get up.

Eto knew that in order to fight the doves she would have to assume full form. The investigators watched in horror as the little bandaged girl's bandaged face turned to that of a monster. The ears on her hood turned to horns, and delicate fingers turned to claws. When the transformation was complete, the once small ghoul towered over the investigators, spikes jutting out of her back.

She roared at them. Juuzou's eyes widened. This was the One Eyed Owl. The bandaged ghoul and the owl was the same ghoul. A fiery hate shot through him. This ghoul had murdered Shinohara. He struggled to get up, and even though he felt no pain, how much blood he lost was keeping him grounded.

The three doves that were in fighting condition prepared their quinques. But Eto didn't give them a chance. She busted through the wall and scrambled out into the abandoned streets, jumping onto a building a running across rooftops, tiles skidding about.

Eto transformed back into her human like form as she ran, bandages flying in the wind and coming loose under her magenta dress. She found another abandoned building; much smaller than the other. She ran inside and dashed into a random room, where she collapsed and began to sob.

"How could I do that," she choked out. "I- I love him."
