"Okay, this should be good." Touka led Yomihime out of the club and into the alleyways. She looked around to be sure there was no one else here but them.

"So, what did you wish to talk abo-"

Touka turned and punched Yomihime hard, pinning her against the wall her before she could react. Yomihime struggled, but a quick knee to her kidney stopped her squirming. Touka rammed her head against the wall three times before speaking

"Tell me everything you know about Aogiri. Their bases, leaders, everything."

"… … …" Yomihime was silent, turning her head just enough to catch a glance at Touka. "We're everywhere, Avenger. The club, the streets, just look around a bit and you'll find member doing something somewhere, especially in the 11th Ward."

Touka narrowed her eyes and snarled. "I want names," She slammed her elbow into Yomihime head. "Who are the leaders,"

"… … …"

Touka slammed Yomihime's face against the wall again, her mask falling off from the blow. "Talk, or I'll really kill you,"

"Eto, Tatara, Noro, Naki, those are the important ones, but as far as people in general it depends on the group. The White Suits, the Blades, the Bloody Fangs," Yomihime smirked. "We aren't just a mere street gang, Avenger. We're everywhere, and it will take more than just you to stop us."

"Tch," Touka scowled, looking Yomihime in the eyes. "Yeah… but I'll stop you anyway,"

"Why are you trying to defeat us anyway? We both want to destroy the Doves, right?"

Touka glared at the woman, ramming her elbow from behind again, this time drawing blood. "No," She snarled. "I've seen the shit your group pulls. Kidnapping, extortion, bullying, torture, you bastards want to kill and rule everyone like slaves, humans and ghouls. I want to just make sure Ghouls can sleep at night without worry and put some fear into those damn Doves."

Yomihime stare at Touka, her face bloodied from the blows. "So that's what you think, huh?" Something started poking from Yomihime's back. It felt… like something was moving, wiggling around her back and body, like something was alive. Touka glanced at the woman's back, then back at her, noting the black sclera. Shit! She let go of Yomihime and jumped back just as Yomihime's kagune shot out. It just barely missed piercing her stomach.

Yomihime turned to Touka, smiling. "Nice reflexes, Avenger. I thought I could surprise you there." She said, walking over to her mask. "And my, you really do look like Ayato,"

Touka blinked, touching her face. Her mask. The slash from Yomihime's kagune knocked it from her face. Not just that, she actually cut her cheek as well.

"You…" Touka narrowed her eyes at the woman, snarling. Yomihime just laughed, picking up her own mask.

"You even growl like him too," She grabbed her mask. "You're rather vicious for a little bunny,"

Touka clicked her tongue. "Yeah, and you look more like a peasant than a queen. What's with the cloak and rags?" Touka shot back. "Too poor to buy a dress?"

Yomihime scowled, letting out a huff. "None of your concern, worm," She hissed, turning away. "Well, feel free to come back and meet me in the arena again, Avenger," She took one last glance at Touka, smirking before putting on her mask. "We'll make it a death match next time,"

Touka huffed, going to grab her own mask. "Damn straight we will, and I'll kill you in front of your friends then,"

"I look forward to it." With that, Yomihime walked away.

"Tch," Well, there goes one lead, but at least she had a few names now. Eto, Noro, Tatara, Naki, those would be people to look out for, as well as those groups. Looks like I've got some people to look for.

For all the fighting and hunting she did it only got her a few names and places. Typical punks weren't as tightlipped as Yomihime, nor as tough, but damn did they have little information. Every punk she took down got her a little closer to a leader though. She hadn't gotten any info on that bandaged brat outside of her name. Eto, just like Yomihime said. It wasn't much, but it was something to go by. And she sure as hell was going to make that brat the first person she took out.

"Where's Eto?!" She punched one of the punk she was holding by the collar. "C'mon, tell me you bastard!"

"Piss off!" The punk spat blood at her.

Little- Touka punched him again. "Fine asshole!" She dug her nails into his throat. "You can die with your friends then!"

"Go… to hell…" It was the last thing he garbled before he died.

"Dammit!" She threw his corpse to the ground. What now? She was starting to get a lot of attention on her now. This was the third group that tried to ambush her since her talk with Yomihime. Hell, for the last week it had been nothing but a random one-on-one from some punk wanting her head, or some ambush. Guess I should of killed that chick… Or maybe Aogiri finally see me as a threat. Either way she'd probably have to cancel her training days with Renji for a while.

"Hello Avenger…"

"Tch," Speak of the devil. Touka turned, raising an eye at the woman. A fancier cloak with a hood, a sporty tank top, and some pretty fashionable shorts and sneakers. Hell, even the mask had a bit more decoration to it. "Well, someone looks all dolled up."

"What can I say?" Yomihime flashed her cloak a little, doing a quick turn to show off the thing. "I like to look nice when I'm not planning on getting dirty, but I suppose I don't have that option tonight." She took off her cloak, approaching Touka. "You've been busy," She glanced at the unconscious bodies and corpses around them. "I guess making the pawns try to take out a knight was pointless. Especially after our last encounter,"

Touka rose an eye. "What? Did you come for another beating?" She rolled her shoulder, bringing out her kagune. "I will kill you this time."

"Aren't you confident," Yomihime brought out her kagune as well, five tentacles sprouted from her back.

A rinkaku, huh?

"Don't think this will be like at the arena," Yomihime took a step forward, her face inches apart from Touka's. "I'll crush you like the prey you are, bunny girl."

"Heh," Touka smirked behind her mask. "What? This payback for messing up your face, princess? Need that mask to hide the scars?"

"You worm," A tentacle swiped at Touka's face, grazing her cheek as she hopped back.

"Bring it, princess!" Touka sent a spray of shards at Yomihime to pin her down, then went in for a tackle, ramming the girl against a wall and punching away at her face. Yomihime blocked the hits with her kagune, pushing Touka off and pinning her to the ground in turn, biting hard into her shoulder and tearing off flesh. "Bitch!" Touka pushed Yomihime off, with her taking a piece of Touka's shoulder with her. She chewed it in front of Touka and swallowed, smirking.

"Y'know, ghouls taste awful, but eating you might be worth a kakuja." She said, smirking.

"Sick freak…"

"Says the freak slaughtering Aogiri's lower ranks,"

"Yeah, and you're next you pyscho bitch!" Touka rushed in a lightning speed, clawing at Yomihime's body with her nails, making deep cuts that drenched her fingers in blood.

"Guh!" She heard Yomihime spew blood. She was staggering, time to go in for the kill. Touka rushed in for a final blow, but-

"Gah!" Her gut exploded in pain. Four drill-like tendrils pierced her stomach. "A-Ah…" She coughed out blood, the tendrils violently slamming her to the ground and pulling out of her body. "Y-You…"

"That's what you get for underestimating me you damn pest," Yomihime walked toward Touka, bloodied, cut, and wild-eyed, but she was already healing. "Is that all you got, Avenger? How you fended off so many of our soldiers is beyond me if you're this weak," She stomped hard on Touka's open chest.

"Bitch!"

"True, but I'm the bitch that took you down a peg." She lowered herself to Touka's face, giggling with sadistic pleasure as she pulled her foot off her, shaking off the blood. "Now… I was gonna eat you, but I think I'll fork you over to Eto so she can have fun with you instead, maybe rip of a leg before then." She pulled off Touka's mask, dragging a nail along her face and drawing blood.

"Go to hell…"

"You first," She pushed her foot down harder on Touka's chest, getting a strained cry from her. "I'm glad I can play with you a bit here instead of the ring. They would had called the match by now." She forced Touka to her feet, holding her by the collar and punching her face. "That was payback for the arena, and this..." Touka dodged the next, pushing Yomihime away with her foot and kicking her in the side of the head, knocking her down.

"Gh, you-"

"Die!" She pinned Yomihime down, choking her. "Die… die… die… die… die…" She kept hands around Yomihime's neck. Her breathing slowed, her flailing weakened after a while, and her Touka could feel saliva dripping onto her hands. Another minute and Yomihime stopped struggling, going limp. Touka kept the pressure up for another moment before letting go. Oh no, you don't get to die that peacefully. Touka put her in an armbar next, the hold woke Yomihime up screaming. Touka kept pulling until she heard the girl's arm snap, then broke her leg, then a few ribs. Then she ripped off Yomihime's mask looked in her eyes with fury and rage, punching her face.

Then again.

And again.

And again. Until she drew blood and Touka was left panting.

I should kill you… She looked over Yomihime's battered face. She still had a bit of life in her, enough to still make eye contact with Touka. I killed enough of you trash already, but… She stared back at the girl, a fist raised and ready to give a final punch.

"Can't do it?" Yomihime garbled out. "Weakling,"

"Tch," Touka punched hard, knocking her out. "Shut up… I'm… I'm not like you…" She got off the girl, sitting next to her. I'm just…

Then, she heard clapping.

"What the?" She turned around, seeing the bandaged brat. Eto. "You…"

"My, that was quite the fight Touka, you're pretty ruthless." She casually walked over to Touka, kicking Yomihime a few feet.

"The hell?!" Touka shouted. Eto only shrugged.

"She was weak, so she's garbage." She looked Touka's way. "Still refuse to join us, Touka?"

"No way in hell,"

"Aaw…" Eto was likely pouting behind her mask. "I'm sure your brother would want his big sister with him."

"Piss off," Touka snarled. The last thing she wanted was to hear about that bastard Ayato. "He's next,"

"Well, I tried." Eto looked over to Yomihime. "So… are you going to eat her?"

"What?"

"Eat her. You know, to become a kakuja." She formed an arm out of her kagune, an actual arm of red flesh and bony armor surrounding it.

How… the hell? Touka stared, wide-eyed.

"See? Just eat her and a few others and you'll have this power," Her kagune went back into her body. "Devour the weak, rule over the weak, I think you'd like that."

"Never,"

Eot shrugged again. "Suit yourself," She began walking out of the area, dragging Yomihime by the leg. "Oh, and Touka?" She turned to face her, her mouth in a smiling shape. "If you want to see me, just pop by at the old warehouse. Back where you met your brother. We'll welcome you with open arms." Her happy tone darkened at her next few words. "Or if you feel like being my new toy after I break you, I think making you my personal chew toy when your brother gets too cocky would be nice too."

Touka snarled at Eto, her irises flaring red. "I'll only go there to kill, brat."

"Hmhm, feel free to try." She gave one more glance at Touka, giving a small laugh. "I wish more of our members were as passionate as you, Touka, if a little more loyal." With that she left, dragging Yomihime with her.
