Eto rejoined Suzuya, and the man gave her maid of honor a questionable glance.
"What's going on?" Juuzou asked quietly.
"Her daughter is coming to train with Aogiri," Eto explained in hushed tones.
"What?" Suzuya asked, so many questions swirling in his head. "But she's human."
"Her daughter isn't," Eto said.
"That makes no sense," Juuzou said. "But what makes even less sense is why the hell would she let her daughter join your blood soaked organization?"
Eto let out a sigh. "Her daughter is like me. It's rare, but she's a natural half ghoul. Kimi cannibalized."
Juuzou swallowed hard. He couldn't believe that sweet woman had eaten human flesh.
"And Aogiri?"
Eto shifted her feet. "Well, Kimi doesn't exactly know everything that goes on in the ghoul world."
"So you're telling me she has no idea how dangerous it is?"
"Pretty much. All she knows is that her daughter is going to learn skills she needs and is going to be protected. I mean, I really am going to look out for her."
"Where is her daughter anyway?"
Hitomi, who had finally been pried off Naki's leg, sat in the pews of the church with her brother.
"So Mommy and Daddy are married," Kaito said quietly, kicking his legs.
"Yup," Hitomi said. "I hope we can still go to Mister Naki's house."
"He probably wants to be alone," Kaito mumbled.
"Cause of him and Miss Ju San?"
Kaito blinked. "How'd you know that?"
Hitomi shrugged. "Just seemed like it."
"You can't tell anybody about it," Kaito said, waving a finger at his twin. "It's a secret."
"I know," Hitomi giggled. "One time, I saw them kissing in secret."
"Ew," Kaito said. "Kissing is gross."
"I know," Hitomi said. "It was weird. She started taking his shirt off so I covered my eyes and ran away."
"That's weird," Kaito said, resting his feet on the bench in front of them.
The sound of a door opening and closing caught their attention. A girl that looked a bit older than them had came into the chapel from the place where everyone had gathered. She cocked her head and walked over to the twins. She was on the tall side and looked healthy and athletic. She had straight ginger hair that almost reached her shoulders and bangs. Her wide eyes were the same color as her hair, and she wore a dress much like Hitomi's.
"Who are you?" Kaito asked the girl.
"Kotori Nishino," the girl said, puffing her chest out and putting her hands on her hips. "I'm six."
"I'm Hitomi," the white girl said. "And my brother is Kaito. We're five."
The older girl blinked. "You're the bride and groom's kids?"
Kaito nodded. "Yeah."
"Cool," Kotori said, sounding uninterested. She pulled a bag out of her pocket, and inside was several severed fingers. Her right eye turned black and red. She pulled one out and began to eat it like a carrot stick.
At the sight of the meat, both Hitomi and Kaito's single ghoul eyes turned. Kotori gave them both an odd look.
"You're half ghouls too?"
The twins did not respond, and Hitomi tried to snatch the bag out of Kotori's hands.
"Hey!" she said, yanking the bag away.
"Give us one," Kaito whined, climbing over his sister to try to grab the bag.
"Come and get it," Kotori said, sticking her tongue out.
Hitomi sprang up and clawed at the girl. Kaito jumped onto the half ghoul and tried to pull the bag away.
"Stop!" Kotori spat, slapping Kaito.
The boy took a step back in surprise, and Kotori turned her stance to face him. However, while she was preoccupied with Kaito, Hitomi snatched the bag out of her hand.
"Give that back!" the chestnut haired girl yelled.
Hitomi dashed to the alter and began to eat the meat in front of her brother and Kotori. Kaito gave the older girl and shove before running to his sister.
"Give me that!" Kaito screamed at his sister, jumping on her.
Hitomi fell onto the ground and kicked her brother in the knee. He yelped in pain.
"Stop!" Hitomi demanded, looking up at her twin. "I'll share with you!"
Those words calmed Kaito, and he helped his sister up. They looked at each other, and Hitomi couldn't help but be a little disturbed by her brother's single ghoul eye.
"I said give that back," Kotori said, approaching them.
"It's ours now," Kaito said, both him and his sister taking aggressive stances toward the approaching enemy.
Kotori smirked. "So you wanna fight? No matter where you go, you're hopeless."
She gave the twins a cruel look, and her kagune erupted from her lower back. It was a turquoise blue and somewhat resembled a fish tail. It whipped around, Kotori's kakugan almost glowing.
"Kaito," Hitomi whimpered. "W—we don't have one of those things."
The boy just grit his teeth, prepared for a fight.
The 'fish tail' hit Hitomi, sending her crashing into the decorations surrounding the alter. She was about to cry for help, but a stone statue crashed down on top of her.
"Hitomi!" Kaito cried out, and then angrily glared at Kotori.
The half ghoul struck Kaito with her Kagune, and the boy crumpled. She approached him and grabbed his throat with her small hands.
"Are you gonna give it back?" she asked, squeezing his throat.
Kaito tried to pull her hands away from his throat, but she had a tight grip. He managed to turn his head a little, and he sunk his teeth into her arm.
She screamed and released Kaito's throat, giving him enough time to shriek for help.
Eto and Juuzou had been talking with their guests when two screams from the chapel caused everyone to become silent.
"Where's the kids?" Ni said, breaking the silent.
"Fucking shit," Suzuya said, and everyone raced into the chapel.
"Kotori!" Kimi shrieked, horrified.
The half ghoul was sitting on top of Kaito, who was flat on his back. Her hands were wrapped tight around the boy's throat, and her own blood ran down her arm.
Eto, Juuzou, and Kimi ran down the aisle to their children, Naki and a few servants following close behind.
Kimi yanked her daughter off of Kaito, and Eto knelt next to her son.
"Where's Hitomi?" Suzuya asked, panic stricken.
But Naki was alright on it. Him and a few servants were pulling the remains of the statue off the young girl. The blond ghoul pulled her body out, and she hung limp in his arms.
"Oh god," Suzuya said. "Hitomi!"
Eto began to sob when she caught sight of her daughter's crumpled body.
Kimi put her hands up to her mouth and tears flooded to her eyes. "Is she..?"
Hitomi let out a cough, letting everyone know that she was alive. Naki cradled the girl in his arms, tears rolling down his face.
"Give her to me!" Eto said, trying to take her daughter from Naki.
"Mister Naki!" Hitomi choked out, and began to cry. Her wounds began to heal as she sobbed, clinging on to the man's suit.
The blond man held the young girl close. "It's okay. I'm gonna give you to your Mommy."
"No!" Hitomi said, grasping the man tighter. "Please don't."
Kaito hurried to his sister's side. "Hitomi! Are you okay?"
"Mhm," Hitomi said, burying her face against Naki's chest. "Am now."
Eto grit her teeth. "Receptions over."
