A/N: I made a bunch of mistakes in the first chapter, but I think I've fixed them! So enjoy this next chapter. Plus, I even change the name of the story too!
One Month Earlier...
Late night hours in Tokyo can be pretty dangerous where humans are walking home from work or even heading into a dark alley alone where ghouls can come out and feast upon the human's dead corpses. In Haruhi's case, she was one of the ghouls who only come out and find her next meal once a month.
But only when her father is not at home and Sora was still asleep.
Standing on top of a building, Haruhi wore a black ninja hoodie, covering her mouth and nose as she was looking around for her next victim to feast on.
Next, she heard a few gunshots which causes her to look towards her left and immediately jump from building to building to find that human.
The loud shots echoed inside of a small gas station as Haruhi stood on top of the roof that had the gas pumps underneath. There was a red car parked in front of the gas station front doors, before seeing a man with blonde hair who wore a black beanie to cover up his head and a black jacket as he left out of the gas station with a bag full of money.
"Bingo." Haruhi responded, before the robber climbed into the right side of the red car, speeding off in the process.
"How much did you get?" The driver questioned.
"Damn it, not a lot. But don't worry… I shot the cashier after getting the cameras." The robber explained, after looking inside the bag… until they heard a loud thumping noise on the roof of the car.
"What was that?" The robber questioned, before both of the men turned their head to look at the rearview of the car to see that there wasn't any cop cars or anything behind then. "Must be the-" He started to say, before the robber's eyes widened in shock to see Haruhi looking at them outside of the windshield, showing her red and black ghoul eye.
"Shiro? Shiro!" The driver called out, shaking his shoulder.
"What, ass-" The robber named Shiro exclaim, before he finally saw Haruhi.
"Hello." Haruhi greeted.
The driver started turning the steering wheel quickly as the rainfall and the tires didn't go well with the wet road, making their car spin out of control and Haruhi jumped off after using her kagune to take out the front tires.
Landing her feet on the wet road, Haruhi watched as the car spins off of the road and ram into a nearby tree. Walking closer towards the accident, she noticed that the driver didn't survive until the robber was crawling out of the damage car as he couldn't feel his legs.
"Please… Please don't." The robber pleaded, as Haruhi used her kagune to lift up the robber by his jacket.
"Sorry… I'm only feast on weaklings on you." Haruhi responded, before stabbing him to death with her kagune… and not knowing that he was a father when she stepped onto a soaked picture of him and his daughter with her left foot.
Present Time
Haruhi walked into her father's bedroom that he shared with Michiko as she had a small trash bin with her, and saw trash from newspapers and empty beer bottles which the red haired human did.
Rolling her blue eyes, Haruhi started cleaning up the room and folded up the bed covers neatly, before heading towards the dresser to straighten up. Removing the case files on top of the dresser, Haruhi wasn't looking as a half empty beer bottle was knock over and spilled onto the last manilla folders that was left.
"Damn it." Haruhi retorted quietly, before gently cleaning up the spill and dropping the manilla folder on top of the others, until it revealed a picture of a ghoul who wore a white noa mask that had a pink X and an blue O where the eyes are.
Curious, Haruhi slowly pick it up and open the classified case file as it showed a ghoul with shoulder lavender colored hair from a distance. It clearly looked like a familiar ghoul that Haruhi once remember, before reading to herself.
"No. 286. Or known as The Love-Hate Ghoul… Last seen 17 years ago." Haruhi read it quietly, before she started thinking about this ghoul.
"This ghoul reminds me of Rize. But she's a binge eater, not like this one." She thought to herself, before putting it back on the dresser.
Having her lavender hair up in a lazy bun, Haruhi was already weak from fixing dinner as her face was looking pale while walking towards the living room to see Michiko still asleep on the couch.
"Mom's still drunk?" Sora questioned, after turning off his handheld game.
"Yeah, buddy. But… after getting her up, I'm off to do my homework." Haruhi responded, before straightening her black cardigan that she put on her earlier.
"Can you come eat with us?" Sora questioned once more.
"I can't. I have a life that I need to take care of, Sora…" Haruhi explained, before looking back down at her sleeping stepmother. "Michiko?" She called out.
"Huh?" Michiko mumbled.
"Michiko?" Haruhi called out once more, before she finally open her brown eyes. "Its dinner time." She responded, before moving out of her way.
"Yeah, yeah. Go get the table started… Whoever you are." Michiko repiled, before grabbing the wine bottle as she noticed that it was empty.
Haruhi rolled her blue colored eyes, before she walked into the kitchen with Sora. While grabbing the prepared plates, Haruhi watched as Sora grabbed the forks and knives from out of a nearby drawer, placing them onto the table along their dinner.
"What's this… Oh… it's the same old crap from last Wednesday." Michiko responded, after walking into the kitchen and noticed the food on the table.
"It's a rice omelet, Mom." Sora corrected his mother, before he sat down at the table.
"Who ask you, you little shit?" Michiko repiled, as Sora was looking down at the table, with his hands in front of him.
"It's a beef one this time. I didn't want to go all the way to the real market to go get a bag of chicken for it." Haruhi explained, as she grabbed a carton of milk from the refrigerator.
Pouring a glass of milk for Sora, the six year old boy slowly look up at his mother to see Michiko pulling out a cigarette and light it up with matches from a local bar.
"Mom?" Sora called out, shyly before Michiko looked up at him.
"What? What do you want, you little brat?" Michiko questioned, before blowing cigarette smoke in front of Sora.
"Michiko, he's just a little boy." Haruhi responded, reassuringly.
"Yeah, and he'll be put into a little hospital by tonight." Michiko repiled, before looking back her son. "What do you want to ask, boy? About our living status here in the 17th ward? This… this isn't the life you wanted right? But as soon as we're thrown out into the streets by next week, thank to your father who doesn't have time for us. You will be the one who's crying out for him."
"Michiko, I have-"
"No one ask you the speak." Michiko responded, as she cut off Haruhi, before looking back at her son. "Oh everything will be alright, Sora. Tell your mother that I won't be home until later. That was all lies from your fucking father! He's not at work. He doesn't care about coming home. He… He'd probably left us all. Left us… Left us for a FUCKING GHOUL TO FUCK IN THE ASS!" She retorted angrily, before flipping over the table as she stood up, surprising both Sora and Haruhi to back up.
"Michiko, please!" Haruhi responded, before the alcoholic mother pushed the 17 year old half ghoul out of her way.
"AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT AND EVEN YOUR DAMN SISTER!" Michiko yelled out, walking towards Sora before lifting him up by the front of his shirt.
"No, Mommy!" Sora cried, before…
*SMACK*
Sora cried out as Michiko slapped his son in the face, before dropping him onto the floor. Rubbing his face, Sora looked back up at his mother in shock, before running off towards his bedroom.
"Come back here!" Michiko retorted angrily, after hearing the door slammed shut. "Listen to your mother!" She responded once more, before she noticed Haruhi trying to leaving the kitchen area.
Haruhi's blue eyes widened in shock, before she felt Michiko's cold hand wrapped around her wrist and pulled her back in front of her until the abusive mother grips onto the 17 year old's lavender color hair.
"Where do you think you're going? You stay here, where I can see you. Or I'll fuck up your face like last time." Michiko warned, before pushing Haruhi onto the floor as she landed onto the broken plates and warm food. "Clean up this mess now, since it's all your fault anyway." She responded, before leaving.
The smell of the food hit her nose once more, before she started gagging and threw up on the floor, feeling weak once again. Her cuts from the broken plate pieces were heeling at the same time on her legs and hands, before regain control of her sickness.
Breathing in and out slowly, Haruhi can hear her stomach growling as she felt hungry for human flesh.
"I… I gotta control this hunger." Haruhi thought to herself, before noticing the coffee machine on the counter.
She can try and make more coffee, but Michiko might come back and hit her after knowing the faint smell of brewing coffee beans was in the air and not even cleaning up the floor.
Haruhi's left eye started to ache as it slowly turning red and black, before turning her head towards the living room area while hearing Michiko's angry rambling about Sora's punishment.
"That's it… I had it… I had enough…" Michiko started to say, before putting out her cigarette in the ashtray as Haruhi slowly stood up on her feet. "That little brat will be crying for his father now after when I'm done with him." She responded, before finding an extension cord near the TV as Haruhi walked slowly towards the living room, mumbling underneath her breath "Flesh, flesh, yummy flesh…" repeatedly, before Michiko saw her.
Haruhi wasn't looking at Michiko, as the red haired mother stare at her stepdaughter
"I'll be back for you, once Sora cries out for poor Daddy." Michiko responded, before turning towards the door that leads to the hallway.
Without Michiko looking, Haruhi quickly looked back up as she looked at her from behind with her left red and black ghoul eye and normal right eye. Her anger was finally revealed before her kagune was revealed, which made Michiko stopped moving as she heard a nearby vase breaking into pieces and even heavily breathing, making her eyes widen in shock
"You… BITCH!" Haruhi retorted angrily, before running towards Michiko as she jumped onto her back, wrapping her arms around her neck.
Michiko started screaming out in fright, as she tried to take Haruhi off of her, until the 17 year old half ghoul bit into her neck, ferociously.
"Get off of me! Get off me, ghoul!" Michiko cried out as she pushed Haruhi into a nearby wall of the apartment, knocking off a family picture of the four.
Haruhi stood back up as she started licking the blood off her lips as she looked back at Michiko who was on the floor, trying to crawl away while feeling the bite marks on her neck with her bloody fingers.
"Your blood taste horrible after smoking. But you… putting your hands on me and my brother is where you cross the line, bitch." Haruhi responded, as she walked towards Michiko.
"No, please. Let me go. I'll do anything. Don't kill me." Michiko begged, as she was staring back at Haruhi's ghoul eye before the 17 year old half ghoul lifted her up by gripping onto her red hair tightly. "Please, Haruhi… I'm sorry… Give me another chance. I'll be a better person, just spare me." She begged once more, as she was hanging upside by Haruhi's kagune.
Haruhi's face started to soften, as Michiko thought she believed her… but it change back to her anger face.
"Nice try. But you deserve to die!" Haruhi rejected, before Michiko's eyes widened to see the left side of her stepdaughter's kagune was pointed toward her stomach.
"No…" Michiko whispered.
In the other rooms, Sora heard a loud agonizing scream as he hid inside of his closet and a body dropping onto the floor, with his blizzard blue eyes full of tears. The 6 year old human started to cry as he hugged his knees close to his chest, knowing that the ghoul was coming for him and his sister.
"Daddy!" Sora cried out in fear, before hearing running footsteps heading into the bedroom.
Covering his mouth in shock, Sora stayed quiet before the footsteps he heard stop.
"Sora?" Haruhi called out, as Sora's blue eyes widen before he slowly open the sliding closet door and saw his eldest sister. He ran towards Haruhi as tears were still running down his face while hugging his sister's waist tightly. "It's okay, Sora, you're safe." She responded quietly, with her hands resting on his small back.
"Is the ghoul gone? Is Daddy coming?" Sora questioned, as he still felt scared before Haruhi stood on her knees to look at her brother's watery eyes.
"Listen to me, our home is not safe anymore. We have to go now." Haruhi responded, while wiping off the tears from Sora's face.
"W-Why?" Sora questioned once more, before hearing someone knocking on the door of the apartment, causing both Haruhi's and Sora's blue eyes to widen.
"Michiko? Haruhi, is everything okay?" The voice of their elderly neighbor, Mrs. Fujioka.
"Is that the ghoul again?!" Sora questioned as Haruhi grabbed her brother's red jacket from his bed before putting it on his small body, zipping it up in the process.
"We don't have time to talk about this. Pack a few things and let's go." Haruhi responded, as she tossed Sora's empty bag onto his bed, before leaving the bedroom to grab their shoes from the front door as she can hear the door knob twisting and turning.
"What's going on? I heard screaming, shall I call the police?" Mrs. Fujioka questioned once more, before the elderly neighbor and Haruhi's eyes widen in shock to hear Sora screaming out in shock.
The 17 year old half ghoul turned around quickly to see Sora looking down at the remains of his mother's body while it had blood spilling out her stabbed stomach, missing her right hand and left leg.
Haruhi quickly ran towards Sora, before taking him back into the bedroom and put on his shoes.
"That… That ghoul… That ghoul ate Mommy." Sora responded in shock as Haruhi lifted up her brother in her arms, before she opened the window to their bedroom and climbed out. "Is she coming after us? What are you doing?!" He questioned once more as he realized that he and Haruhi were on the fire escape, before she jumped onto the railing.
"Hold on!" Haruhi quickly replied as she noticed a nearby bus heading towards the bus stop, before jumping off.
Sora screamed loudly while holding onto Haruhi's black cardigan, as she landed on her feet without even hurting herself. The 6 year old human kept his eyes closed, before he felt Haruhi running through the rain as she'd finally caught the bus.
He finally open his eyes to see Haruhi climbing into the bus and headed into the back of the empty bus, sitting down gently.
"Hey… we're safe now." Haruhi whispered, before Sora looked up and sat down next to his sister.
"Are we?" Sora questioned, while looking up at Haruhi.
"Yeah…" Haruhi repiled, before holding Sora's right into her own. "We are." She whispered the last part.
Sora nodded, before resting his head on her shoulder as Haruhi can tell that her little brother was traumatized by seeing his mother's lifeless body who was murdered and half eaten by a ghoul.
Which happens to be Haruhi's fault.
But for now, Haruhi must think of a plan as the bus drove off away from the apartments.
