Chapter 2

2 Months Later

Running, the glowing blue locks tailed behind her as she leaped onto the next rooftop while they tried to catch her. The ghoul was always steps ahead, she wasn't one to get caught, but it didn't stop the CCG to try nor did it stop other Ghouls either. Her rise only caused a disturbance within the set "rules" that were placed over everyone.

Lightly landing onto the roof, sighing behind the mask that protected the identity that can ruin everything. Walking towards the edge, the blue locks that glowed under the moon swayed along with the wind.

The world was quiet at its surface, but in the depths of it all was a voice that can't be silenced. The same voice that guided the two towards each other on the roof of the tallest building in Tokyo. Even after years of not speaking, they finally came to face each other once more and this time there wasn't no masks that can limit them.

Standing alone, the white cloaked figure merely held her head down, but not truly seeing a thing from the city. The mask shielded the face, one that had a simple design, but still gave anyone who seen it an uneasiness.

The cloaked flowed to the right as the winds began to pick up, it revealed that she was wearing a white skin tight outfit that covered her whole body excluding her shoulders that seem to be exposed, but it didn't matter since her skin was pale that almost matched the suit.

Rumors spread like wildfire once they heard of a "ghoul" who fought against CCG with a quinque. The stories continued on to how she managed to take on the 13th Ward's Jason after they crossed paths. Then there's others involving how she seem to be well ahead of the CCG, knowing their exact moves and how she'll aid those who were targeted by them.

She narrowed her eyes behind the mask for moment when she remembered an old memory during her youth. Relaxing, she remained still as the wind brushed through her hair that seem to be white from a far except it actually glowed a faint blue which gave the ghoul a ghostly glow. A faint light emitted around the stranger that left others believing to be a ghost that wonders through the night.

Flashback:

The little girl picked a few flowers within her hands, she tilted her head the moment her ears picked up on a sudden movement. Lifting her head up, Yuzuki could tell that it was another girl, who appears a bit older than her.

Standing, she faced the girl while holding up the flowers up, "Do you know what color this is?"

The older girl raised a brow before answering the question, "They're blue."

Yuzuki smiled, holding out her hand at the stranger, "My name's Yuzuki"

She stared for a moment before accepting the hand, her green eyes studied how Yuzuki was welcoming. Returning a smile as she introduced herself, "My name is Eto."

Her faded eyes widen for a moment, Yuzuki stared at Eto as she tried to remember where that name came from. Yuzuki nodded before revealing, "I remember hearing my mama talking about how Eto sounded pretty for a name."

The green haired girl raised a brow at the girl, frowning slightly as she begins to question Yuzuki, "Your mother?"

Nodding, Yuzuki had her attention on folding the flowers together, trying to make a flower clown, but she did answer Eto's question. "Yes, she mentioned it once about a friend who wanted to name her daughter Eto."

Smiling at the older girl after she had half the crown completed and she turned away, "It was nice meeting you, Eto!"

She smiled to herself, watching the little blind girl went off along with the blue flowers. Eto saw a young man with orange hair, who sighed in relief the moment he spotted the young girl. He scolded her for running off without warning, but the girl wasn't fazed by it as she played with the flowers within her fingers.

Watching how she finally created a flower crown, Yuzuki held it out to the young man and insisted for him to accept it. Sighing, he placed the crown on his head before grabbing his brief case and accepting the girl's hand into his.

Narrowing her green eyes at the man, she noticed that he was part of CCG and this got Eto thinking for a moment.

Eto grinned to herself, adjusting the glasses over her eyes before whispering, "I wish you luck then, Nee-san~"

She turned her head over to the unexpected visitors, opening her empty eyes that hid behind the mask while her hair slipped out of the hood that shielded her from view. Standing across from another ghoul who's entire body was wrapped in bandages, with a tattered maroon cloak with a pair of droopy ears attached to it's hood.

The short ghoul beamed at The Phantom. Her childish tone ranged a few bells within the other girl's mind as the word filled the air, "Nee-chan~"

The cloaked swayed with the wind, Yuzuki crossed her arms over her chest before greeting her and Tatara. Her voice was harsh and there wasn't any emotions to be express through her words, "It's been far too long since our last conversation and certainly I've seen what you're all about Eto."

Frowning, the white figure discovered that Eto has a very sadistic personality, always finding joy at the expense of the dismay of others. Yuzuki wasn't one to agree to the girl's actions that involved remorselessly slaughtering humans and ghouls alike, inflicting pain without much reason. It took her only a half a year to uncover the true ego the green haired girl possessed and it was completely different from her other ego as an author.

She snickered a bit, twirling around the white cloaked girl, "Awww~ But Phantom-chan, you and I haven't spent time together. Why do you want to ruin our little reunion?"

Yuzuki narrowed her eyes, stepping away from the ghoul before cutting to the chase, "You and I might be sisters, but our beliefs are far different. Your actions this time are unacceptable, Eto. I cannot support anything you've done nor will I accept your offer either, so don't ask me again."

Eto laced her fingers together, tilting her head to the side as she chuckled, "In the end, we share a common goal, so why refuse my agreement. You and I have been wronged far too many times in this world, all because our-"

Cutting the girl off, Yuzuki stepped forward as she looked down at the ghoul, "Don't explain. I'm fully aware that we share a ground in which we were wronged, but I won't take that out onto others."

Waving her hand off lazily, spinning away before calling out, "Then you certainly understand that they'll not rest until we're dead?"

Studying how Eto acted, the Phantom walked around the girl while keeping her guard up, "I know, but there are far lesser means to do this. I won't go down to your level that involves hurting innocent people and causing more chaos when there's plenty to go around."

Laughing at the girl's naïve nature, facing the white cloaked girl as she harshly stated, "You are weak, Nee-chan, and I won't save you when you're down to your last breath." Eto placed her hands behind her, "All deaths are due to your inabilities, due to your own weakness."

Narrowing her eyes behind the mask, "A weakness is to carry the burden of things that we cannot change." Stepping forwards towards the ghouls, "I am not lashing out to those who have done nothing wrong in this world because I'm simply bored or want to cause more pain."

Yuzuki pitied the girl, "You and I have suffered, I accept it, but I don't believe everyone must go through the torment that we've gone through."

Smirking back at the younger girl, "You just haven't accepted the fact, Yuzuki-chan, but when you do then you'll understand why my actions are justified. You will see why I take action and when I order my group of underlings."

Tilting her head at the ghoul, Yuzuki frowned before responding, "You'll see the reasons behind my actions as well, Eto, but I won't expect you to agree to my terms. Nor will I agree to yours."

Taking her leave, she gave a finally look over her shoulder, "But certainly you and I will cross paths when we need something from one another. An enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Eto smirked, waving the girl off, "We'll keep in touch, Nee-san~"

Moments after the Phantom left, the other two ghouls broke the silence that the girl created due to her departure. The slim ghoul glanced over at Eto, who calmingly sat on the edge with her legs swinging carelessly.

Tatara raised a brow at the girl, "You didn't tell her?"

Leaning back, her voice held zero remorse for withholding very precious information from the girl, "Why do I want to tell her about a dead man?"

Frowning, Tatara began to list out the consequences of Eto's action of keeping the secret, "She'll surely lash out at you once she discovers that he's alive and you were withholding it from her."

Eto chuckled before turning towards the man, "As an older sister, my job is to protect her. Right?" Waving her hand around as she kicked her legs over the edge, "Why reveal that he's alive? When in reality he's dead the moment we found him. He lost it and surely it'll only bring more trouble than good."

"But won't it make her join us if he's there?"

The ghoul tilted her head up, "Nope~ She won't abandon my father's side nor will she leave the Reaper's." Grinning at the thought, "She's more useful like this. Better then actually being part of us and one day you'll see why."

Tatara only stared as he asked another question, "Then why did you allow him to join our league?"

Lifting a finger out as she replied in a playful tune, "Simple~! He's very unique with his dual type kagune, his mental state even pushes his limits, and clearly he has nothing else to lose. No boundaries, so he's dangerous when he feels like it. Mainly, he's a kakuja and we can't let him roam free when he can very beneficial to us."

Continuing to press more questions, Tatara stood beside the young female ghoul, "But you gave him the reasonability to train Ayato and he appeared to have taken the role better than we expected."

Eto grinned to herself, glancing up at the ghoul who's bottom face was covered by his red mask, "I gave him a new reason to fight even harder, so he won't throw his power away so easily. An insurance for say."

Nodding, he began to comprehend how it all links together, "You gave him an underling that can be-"

"-That can be a child he never had? Certainly, those two would be great for partner missions. He'll insure that Ayato is full capable of handling himself properly during any assignment."

Glancing over to Eto, he watched the ghoul remain calm, "Yet I fear the day Phantom discovers the truth." Looking over at the city below them, he began to list off the downfalls of having the girl as an enemy, "She's faster than you, her power might not be at its fullest, but when she awakens it... She'll be capable of taking you on, Eto."

Shaking her, Eto chuckled to herself, "That won't happen any time soon. Yuzuki-chan won't tap that power until she loses someone very, very dear to her that breaks the shields she has created over time. Once she loses everything and wakes up from her little dream that has been a nightmare in disguise the entire time."

Eto looked up at Tatara with a sinister grin, "I really want to see her angry, to see the ghoul that can be born after having everything ripped apart again."


Next Day

Yuzuki leaned back in her chair as she stated, "My father had a dual kagune that he gained from his parents and which I inherited."

Sighing a bit before she turned her head over to the now white haired man, "I never met my grandparents or any relatives for the matter of fact. The only family to me was my mother and father."

Giving a small smile to Arima, "And now you, Juuzou, Fura and some other friends of are my new family."

A faint smile appeared on his face while nodding his head slightly. He walked over to the blind girl as he patted her head, "And you are my family as well, Yuzuki." Going off towards his desk, he glanced over his shoulder when the girl laughed. Raising a brow, he listened to what she said next and he realized that he wasn't fully aware of what the CCG has been referring him as.

"A crazy family that is," The girl laughed a bit as she stood up from the chair, "The CCG's Reaper with a half ghoul is just too funny to be true. A far too funny…"

Opening up his file, he looked over at Yuzuki while keeping a stoic expression, "That's what they call me now?"

Picking her quinque case up, she nodded before further explaining, "Yeah, and now people are just referring me as the Reaper's Daughter. I heard other people call you the Death God or CCG's Shimgai."

Tilting her head at the man, she frowned to herself, "You're like a legend to them, but I don't see why they do."


Yuzuki spent her late evening alone, training with her quinques and improving her hand to hand combat, but even training won't prove anything. Sighing in frustion, wiping away the sweat from her forehead as she walked over to the other side of the room.

Sitting alone against the wall, she brought her knees up against her before she hid her face. The girl took in a deep breath as she thought to herself. Why was she trying so hard to fit in when she clearly knew that no matter what, she'll never be one of them. They didn't understand her nor did she expect them to.

There wasn't anyone that she connects to, no one that she can speak to without feeling so alone. Leaning over herself, Yuzuki closed her eyes as she began to reflect her life so far and if Eto was right about being so weak.

Flashback:

Yuzuki sat on a bench alone in the park, her hands skimming over a book she recently bought from a nearby book store. She heard positive reviews regarding the author and their work, but she needed to know for herself.

Sen Takatsuki was a young author who became hug with every book that she's produced. Certainly Yuzuki won't be disappointed after reading one of her books, but yet she didn't really know what to expect from it.

A childish voice broke through her mind and she could've sworn she heard that voice before, "Remember me?"

Yuzuki narrowed her eyes, wondering where she heard that voice before and suddenly she remembered. It's been years, but she never forgets a voice, "Eto?"

The green haired woman laughed, settling down beside the dove, "You do~!"

Raising a brow at the sudden encounter with the woman, Yuzuki placed the book aside, "I hardly ever forget a voice. It's been years since I last spoke to you."

Eto nodded, adjusting her glasses while her eyes landed on the book, "It has been, but I've recognized you from a far. I even notice that you're reading one of my books."

Lifting the book up, "You wrote this?"

"Of course~! So what do you think of it so far, Nee-chan~?"

"I haven't started yet since I barely got it today. But I wouldn't believe you'll be Sen Takatsuki."

Smirking, she waved her finger around, "I have to keep a secret name~ Don't want people to bother me, so I made up one in order to write my masterpieces."

Someone snapped her out of her thoughts, lifting her head up she notices there was a water bottle resting in front of her. Frowning to herself at the sudden item, she glanced over to the person who sat down beside her and Yuzuki could tell by the scent that they were eating a donut.

Yuzuki only stared at the figure for a moment, "Why did you-"

He responded quickly, taking another bite out of the sugary treat while his red eyes darted over to the girl, "Nee-san looked tired, so water was appropriate for you."

Smiling, she accepted the drink, relaxing beside the white haired boy who continued to enjoy his treats. Yuzuki took a sip before facing the boy again, "How long have you been here, Juuzou?"

Finishing the donut, Juuzou looked up at the ceiling for a second before leaning his head against his shoulder. His red eyes stared at the girl before he shrugged, "Don't know. I saw Nee-san alone and I believed you were asleep at first, but you weren't."

The girl giggled, leaning back, she swirled the bottle around, "I don't even know how long I sat here, maybe hours and I wouldn't even know." Placing the drink down, she faced the boy, "Thank you, brother."

His eyes widen, jumping onto his feet, he stared down to the girl before he began to laugh to himself. Glancing over to the other side of the room where there were a few basic staffs on the wall. He smiled, "Let's fight!"

She raised a brow at the boy, but she knew what he meant. Nodding, she stood up while stretching out her arms as she asked, "Hand to hand? Or practice with the quinques?"

Juuzou was already ahead of the girl, handing out one quinque to her while keeping one to himself, "I'm not going to hold back Nee-chan~!"

Yuzuki twirled the quinque within her fingers, smirking at the boy's attitude as her eyes landed on him. Tightly holding onto the weapon, she prepared herself while the white haired boy carelessly held the quinque, but she knew better to underestimate him. He was unpredictable and that what makes her training sessions with him even more interesting.

"I won't hold back either."
