Chapter 11: Protection

{Anteiku: November 21st, 2020, 6:03am}

"We're going to get the truck to bring all of you into Shibuya. For now, rest and pack up the things you're wanting to bring with you," stated Sayuri as the group of fourteen nodded.

"Alright, what about you Guren?" the man looked to them.

"I'm handling your paperwork right quick to put all of you into my custody for protective purposes. There are a few people in Shibuya who won't take kindly to you being there, so keep what you are under wraps as best you can for now, but… all the same, I have some stuff to do before we leave here. Shinya is covering things with the Grand General, and I'm taking care of everything else with my team, so, no worries," he explained as he drew off his cigarette while his youngest gave him a distasted look.

"Those things are bad for you…" the Lieutenant Colonel looked to him.

"Yes, I'm aware… that's why I do it," he said in a dull tone as Yuuichiro rolled his eyes.

"Eh, look guys! It's your first look at Guren logic!" the man looked to Mika.

"Do you want to be court marshalled?" the blonde stuck his tongue out.

"That'd be a nice vacation after this hell we just went through," he told him.

"Um? is this normal?" emerald eyes looked to orangish-brown as Hide questioned him.

"Not really… Mika is just having a moment," the black-haired boy muttered.

"I see… so, once the papers are in order and we're packed up… what'll be happening?" all eyes went to Kaneki who had his arms crossed, leaning against the bar in the downstairs area.

"You'll be moved into an apartment complex, showed around and introduced to things by the seven you worked with tonight. They're your best friends as of now, so everyone start working together," Guren stated.

"Fine by me, I like these psychopaths…" Touka gave her brother a long look.

"That's because you're one too," she stated as the blue-haired boy gawked at her.

"I am not! I know I'm insane thank you very much!" the girl rolled her eyes as Kaneki gave him a look.

"And that's any better how? We're all mad here anyways," he said.

Guren watched as the fourteen teenagers chatted a bit with one another, acting as though they were longtime friends just having a causal conversation as several of the Ghouls picked on the one Ghoul that had stuck by Akane during the entire fight. It was a strange sight, seeing everyone starting to relax after such a terrible fight. They were all covered in cuts, bruises, scrapes and wounds that Yuuichiro didn't have the energy to heal right then, and due to that, even his injuries weren't healing as quick as they normally would. Shinoa had a broken wrist, Yoichi a spranged hand, Kimizuki had broken his foot, Mitsuba had a mild concussion, but was fine other than the bruises and cuts on her, Akane was the most unscathed and that was because of Ayato's actions, which had left him with a fracture in his arm that he had assured them would heal fine on its own.

His eyes scanned the others, their injuries varying from small cuts and minor sprains or fractures to breaks and deep cuts that had been patched up and an anti-pain spell placed upon them until they could get to Shibuya. The Lieutenant Colonel looked to Yuuichiro and Mikaela, both of whom were like himself and Kaneki, and had gotten some of the worst injuries during the fight with Hans Weisburg. He himself, had fractured ribs, a broken ankle, and his shoulder had been dislocated, as for Kaneki, the ghoul had broken ribs on both sides, a broken arm, and two broken fingers; however, due to his healing rate, he would be fine enough with some minor splinting and Goshi's anti-pain spells.

When it came to Yuu and Mika though, it was a bit of a different story as his youngest had bruises on his throat, his left hand had two broken fingers, he had a severe sprain in his right ankle, several abrasions, what he knew were at least three broken ribs, and a cut that went along his upper thigh which had thankfully already healed over. Mika, was in just as bad shape, his left leg was broken, his right arm had two fractures, he had bruising in his abdomen which Yuuichiro was able to gather had thankfully not come from internal bleeding, but he was sore and tired, just like all of them were.

"Listen up!" Guren stated, gathering the attention of the teenagers.

"What?" the man eyed them.

"We're leaving out, but once we do, I suspect everyone to be packed away, we've given everyone enough containers and boxes to gather what you need from your rooms, so please proceed to pack things up. The pain spell that Goshi put on you will last for twenty-four hours, but don't strain yourselves! Once we enter Shibuya, you'll be treated, and hopefully by then Yuuichiro will have enough energy to heal your major injuries," Guren stated as the others nodded.

"Yea, I should be able to, no worries…" the man eyed the boy, seeing the crimson around his pupils.

"Just don't stress your bodies. All of you are in my care now, so make sure not to do anything that could cause you to much trouble, am I clear?" they all nodded.

"Alright, we know, just go and get your own stuff done," Mika said as Guren smiled, placing a gentle hand upon Akane's head before carefully ruffling his two-boy's hair.

"Fine, be careful brats!" with that the man left and Sayuri waved while the group of fourteen took in a collective sigh.

"Well, I guess we should get to work, Akane? Can you help me?" asked Touka.

"Sure, no problem." The girl got up and went up the stairs with the blue-haired girl as Ayato sighed and then looked to Kimizuki.

"We're in charge of the storage room, if you're willing," he stated as he stood.

"Fine by me.." the two of them left as Nishiki sighed.

"I'll go mediate," he told them as Kaneki gave him a pointed look.

"That'd probably be a smart idea… now, Shinoa? Mitsuba? Can me and Hinami have some help?" the two girls nodded, leaving off to the upstairs as well while Yoichi smiled after the girl who waved before departing.

"So, when's the wedding?" asked Yuuichiro.

"W-What?! No! it's not like that!" Mika smiled.

"Then what's it like?" he asked.

"We… we just met!" Yoichi defended himself and the blonde shook his head.

"Come on, Hinami is a pretty girl, at least try and be her friend," he told the brunette as Kaneki smiled.

"She's very sweet, you two will get along just fine…" the brunette began turning a dark shade of red, so much so that he seemed as though he was about to start glowing.

"I-I um… um…" Hide laughed.

"Come on Yoichi, give me a hand upstairs with my things okay? It'll go quicker if two people work and all of us have to pack up our belongings," he said as he grabbed the stuttering brunette while the other three laughed a bit.

"Poor kid, looked like he was about to combust…" Mika looked to his brother.

"That's your fault," he said as Kaneki smiled.

"It's kind of nice to see some normalcy…" the two brothers nodded.

"So, what do you need help with? We're well enough to do something," Yuu told him as the other glanced to Mika.

"What about your brother? Can he move with his leg like that?" the blonde shrugged.

"Fenrir's got the ice brace on it, so I don't even feel it, just don't ask me to do any heavy lifting for the time being," he said as he stood with a bit of difficulty.

"Alright, come on…" the two brothers nodded, following the white-haired Ghoul up the stairs.

As they walked towards a room, they saw and heard the others packing things away, being sure to bring the things they needed to have with them for their move to Shibuya. It was a bit surreal, to the Ghouls of Anteiku as they packed away their things, preparing to depart from the place they'd called home for so the last four years; however, they all knew it was leaving behind these trials for something better, and because of that, the seven of them, eased a bit. Kaneki opened the door of the room that he and Touka had shared for the last four years, and let the two other boys in, propping the door open as they began packing away things into the container, the Ghoul folding up the blankets on the bed and putting them into the bottom of the large container as the two boys started to help him with the things that he informed them needed to be packed away.

"So, where's Irimi?" asked Mika.

"Helping the Lieutenant Colonel, he said having one our own with him would help ease tensions." Yuu glanced at the Ghoul.

"Yea, I can see why he'd want to do that… so, are you looking forward to living in Shibuya?" he questioned as the other smiled a bit.

"In many ways, I am. Some part of me has gotten used to living this kind of life though, so adapting is going to take some time… not to mention, there are going to be a lot of people who don't take to us well." Mika shrugged.

"Don't worry about it, Guren has all of you under the Moon Demon Company's protection, so, it would be a bad day for anyone who dared to oppose him. Besides, Shinya may not be the favorite of the Grand General's children, but he does care about Shinya and since his oldest son, Kureto disobeyed orders and did something really bad about a month ago, Grand General Hiragi has been keeping tabs on him," he stated.

"Kureto?" Yuu nodded.

"Yea, he's the oldest of the Hiragi children, and he's not what I would describe as a kind person. The only thing he has on his mind is power and control… because of that, I wouldn't put it past him to do whatever he had to resort to in order to get what he desired," he explained.

"Remind me to stay away from him then…" Mika sighed.

"If you can, I wouldn't doubt that he'd do something to speak with all of us after this little victory we had… so we better prepare ourselves for that chaos to unfurl," Mika said.

"We'll keep that in mind, thanks…"

{Outer Area Campsite: 8:04am}

Guren sighed as he worked on the last of the documents for the Ghouls, and Sayuri collected the others, forming them into files for him to finish once they were back in Shibuya. It had been a long, stressful, and agonizing battle to endure, but it was over, and right now, he just wanted to finish this paperwork, and return home so that all of them could heal before the next problem arose. Without question, the Lieutenant Colonel was aware that Kureto would desire information on how the mission had gone, and thus, he had instructions prepared for all of those who were back in Anteiku and all of the people who had gone into Tokyo with him. The information on Yuuichiro and Mikaela was to be kept at a minimum, anything relating to the Ghouls, Akane, or anyone else was to remain unspoken, and if Kureto knew something, behave as though they knew nothing, no matter what.

"Is all of this preparation for an interview with Hiragi Kureto really important?" asked Mito.

"Considering what my brother has done in the past, including abandoning Nagoya, I would think so… and if Guren has gone through all this preplanning, it would be a shame not to use it…" Shinya's statement had caused an uncomfortable feeling to settle into the stomachs of the others in the tent.

"Not to mention, Kureto is too greedy and will think of using the Ghouls and the others as a suicide squad for his own intentions. I have no desire of letting them become his puppets… so, we make sure everyone has a story that adds up, and they got the story straight, otherwise, we'll be in danger of that megalomaniac doing something stupid," the burgundy-eyed man stated.

"Right… so, how are people taking to Irimi?" Sayuri smiled at Shigure's question.

"They're doing well. Most people aren't concerned with her being here, and well… surprisingly, everyone likes her," she stated.

"That's a good sign, now let's just – "the group ceased talking as someone entered the tent.

The woman was fair skinned, had long silver-white hair that was strung up into a ponytail with pieces that fell to her shoulders, bangs framing her face and eyes that were a crystalline blueish silver, while her build was tall, willowy, and graceful. This was Major Sawano Yukina, the fiancé of Seishiro Hiragi, and a Sickle-chain weapon user who had a demon known as Kuchisake. She looked around at everyone, smiling just a fraction as she stood there, her uniform looking a bit disheveled, her leggings torn in places, her gloves gone, revealing delicate hands with finely manicured nails and an engagement ring upon her hand while about her throat was a blue satin choker with a silver bell upon it. The girl sighed, blowing her bangs out of her eyes as her attention went to Guren.

"Well, nice to see all of you made it out," she said.

"And, what about your team?" the woman glanced down.

"I lost two of my men… they were good people, and I mourn for them… but they died with honor, and I cannot regret that," she informed them.

"I'm sorry, Sawano…" she shook her head.

"No, it's fine. This is a war, and I expected to lose people, even after I joined the Moon Demon Company. The main concern at this point is whether or not those children that went into Tokyo are safe," Yukina said.

"They're fine… right now, they're helping the Ghouls in packing up their personal belongings before we go and get them…" Guren filled out a few more papers as he spoke, and the woman smiled.

"I'm relieved to hear that. Oh! By the way, Lieutenant Colonel Ichinose?" silver-blue eyes met his burgundy ones and he sighed.

"Yes? Major Sawano?" he inquired.

"Is Mitsuba doing well? Last I heard she was dating one of your boys…" Guren smiled a bit.

"Mitsuba is just fine, and Mika is taking good care of her, don't worry Yukina," he stated as he looked to her.

"I'm glad to hear it. Now, Shinya? I just heard back from Seishiro, and thankfully, Grand General Hiragi has no qualms with the Ghouls entering Shibuya, and assures me that they're welcome amongst the ranks of the Army… he says that it would be both impolite and dishonorable to go against a contract agreement we had with them after all the help they've given us; therefore, he will take their kindness and comradery, and pay it forward."

The words were stunning, and while it shouldn't have surprised them: it did. Yukina had always had faith in the Grand General's kind heart, as he was politer than his oldest son, and had no desire to turn a blind eye to his allies regardless of what their backgrounds could have been. Sighing, Guren smiled, finishing out his last bit of paperwork before looking back to Yukina who stood there, her sickles having formed into two earrings that looked like crescent moons that dangled from her ears. The woman watched him, her eyes calculating and showing that while she was a stunning beauty, she was also a fierce warrior.

"Please inform the Grand General that we are most appreciative of this, and the Ghouls of Anteiku are as well. We will be moving out to bring them home soon, and we hope that he is doing well," he stated.

"Certainly, well, I should be going… I have some things to attend to in addition of delivering the message to the Grand General, have a good day, Lieutenant Colonel Ichinose." She bowed and left, Goshi sighing.

"Seishiro got lucky with her," he said as Mito stomped on his foot.

"And what about you?" he looked into his wife's vibrant purple eyes.

"Oh, I got twice as lucky, I have a fiery red-haired beauty as my gal," he stated, kissing her cheek.

"Good, so, are we ready to move out?" Guren stood, placing his sword back into the form of a ring upon his hand as he started to walk towards the tent entrance.

"Yes, come on, we gotta go and pick up the kids from the daycare," he said as Sayuri sighed.

"I don't think any of them would appreciate being called toddlers after what they just pulled off…" the others shook their heads.

"This is Guren we're talking about here, I don't think he honestly cares," Goshi pointed out as they followed the man towards the truck.

"True… well, let's get the kids and go home, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm exhausted…" there was a chorus of agreement with Shinya's statement as they got into the truck and drove off, preparing for a decent drive home where they would have to settle the teenagers into apartments – which, thankfully were furnished – and get them to the medical ward.

"I need coffee!" Guren thought as he turned a corner, driving out of a camp while Yukina and Irimi waved to them before returning to a conversation they were having.

{Anteiku: 9:04am}

The Fourteen teenagers were waiting on the steps of the coffee shop, each of the Anteiku group having managed to put all their belongings into one container each while the people from the Moon Demon Company sat upon them with them, preparing for the long drive home as they looked around the barren streets, the withered trees and the dirty ground around them. This would be the last time they saw Anteiku or any of these places for a long time, and the fact was bitter-sweet in the case that they had to leave it behind in order to move on in their lives, and to help put an end to the Vampires; however, they were leaving a place that they had called home for four years, and even before the virus had considered it their home and those who worked there as family.

Now, everything was changing, causing some of them to think back on everything that had happened in the last four years and how each of them had struggled, fought, and worked together in order to make it this far. A sigh left Hide as he stretched a bit, the raid gear having been replaced for a pair of dark wash jeans, a yellow long-sleeve shirt, and a black fleece vest, and black sneakers as he stood there, thinking about how quiet the place had become.

"Seems kinda… weird… having to leave, huh?" he asked.

"No kidding… four years here, and now… we're leaving it behind…" Mika looked at the group.

"Don't worry, you guys will like Shibuya. The people there are a little crazy, and sometimes things are intense, but overall, I think you'll like it," he said.

"Really? Where are we gonna live though? And how are we gonna eat?" everyone eyed one another at Hinami's question.

"More than likely, everyone will be living in the same apartment complex as we do, except if any of you want to live alone and are girls, then you'll probably be living in the same apartment complex as Shinoa and Mitsuba. As for what you'll do for food… Guren probably has that sorted out already, so I would just relax, and try to adjust, things are going to be just fine," Yuuichiro supplemented the answer and the Ghouls visible relaxed at his calm tone, his voice gentle and at ease as he leaned back against the wall of the old coffee shop, looking up at the sky above them in its cloudless state.

"I think your Naturopathy is getting stronger… you just calmed all of them by speaking…" the black-haired boy sighed, feeling a few stings of protest against his sharp intake from his battered body as he stood there, in his cloak, uniform covered in scrapes and gashes from the attack while he closed his eyes.

"Well, if it is, then I'll just have to deal with it for now… let's just worry about the finer details later… I'm too tired right now to care," he replied as Kimizuki shook his head alongside the others.

"I'll agree with you there, when we get checked over and everyone gets into their apartment room, I say we all get cleaned up, eat something and sleep…" the others nodded collectively.

"So, we're going to move into a new place, meet new people, and do some new things, right?" Kaneki smiled at Hinami's enthusiasm while Kimi gave the girl a tired look, a small smile coming to her features.

She had watched all of these people fight, and had been able to somehow hold her own against a hoard of monsters throughout the night. She had been armed with a gun that had cursed bullets in it, and it had served her well, but now, Kimi was exhausted, her eyes burning from the lack of sleep as she listened to the conversation going on around her as she leaned against Nishiki. They were going to leave this hell behind for a bit, and live normal lives for the time being, which she was thankful for as she took in a steady breath and closed her eyes, dozing a bit while the others carried on easy conversations around her still.

"Seems the lady dozed off, Jeeze you bored your fiancé into slumber Nishiki," Hide teased.

"Shut up blondie!" the other frowned.

"I am not a vanilla brownie!" Hide defended as his stomach growled.

"Hungry?" the boy nodded at Mitsuba's question.

"Starving… we had sparse rations and we ate what we could before Ayato came to get you guys before the Raid started… but all that running and fighting has me and the others famished," he explained.

"When we get to Shibuya, they'll feed you guys as well as treat your injuries…" Touka bit her lip.

"What about the Ghouls though? We can't eat human food, it's repulsive to us. plus, if we do eat it, our bodies take a long time digesting it and it slows down our healing and other abilities," she stated as she met the black-haired boy's green eyes.

"Guren will have something figured out, believe me. He doesn't leave things to chance, never has…" Mika nodded.

"Yea, so just focus on getting home and getting better, alright? Once we're there, he'll have something planned for all you guys, promise," he said with a smile.

"Okay… how's your leg by the way Hyakuya?" the blonde shrugged.

"Stiff, and sore… once Yuu's better he'll be able to heal it as well as all of our wounds, but right now… we'll have to contend with good old fashion medicine. Now, about formal introductions," Mika looked to the others.

"Intro… ductions?" the others looked at the Ghouls who were given small smiles.

"We never officially introduced one another, it was mostly learning names as we went, and the only person here who had a formal introduction to the seven of us was Kaneki and vice versa, so… getting all of your names is kinda a big deal seeing as Guren does have to make files for you," Yuu explained.

"Oh… um… right…" Shinoa stepped forward.

"Well, I'm the leader of this ragtag group of psychopaths, so allow me to start us off! I'm Sargent Hiragi Shinoa, pleasure to meet you all," she stated.

"Kaneki Ken, the impromptu leader of this group of survivors, both Ghoul and human." The blue-haired girl next to him shook her head.

"I'm Special Private Hyakuya Yuuichiro, nice to meet all of you officially," the black-haired boy introduced himself, causing Shinoa to smile.

"Kirishima Touka, nice to meet you guys…" all of them smiled a bit, finding the situation a bit funny.

"Special Private Hyakuya Mikaela, good to meet you," the blonde introduced.

"Kirishima Ayato, the crazy woman's little brother…" the group of seven Cursers looked between Ayato and Touka.

"Your younger than her?!" asked Yoichi.

"Yep… by one year… so, who are you again shrimp?" the brunette squeaked.

"Special Private Saotome Yoichi, nice to meet you all," he stated.

"Fueguchi Hinami, pleasure.." all eyes went to the others.

"Kimizuki Shiho, Special Private. Good to make your acquaintance," the pink-haired teen said as he was nudged playfully by Mitsuba.

"We're more than acquaintances by this point Kimizuki. Sorry for this guy, he takes himself too seriously. I'm Special Corporal Sangu Mitsuba." She shook hands with each of the Ghouls, smiling as she did so.

"Nishiki Nishio, and the lovely lady asleep on my arm is my unofficial wife, Kimi," he introduced.

"Unofficial?" the man sighed.

"We don't have a priest or anything… so we're not officially married as of yet, but we decided to say we were about a year and a half ago," he explained as the others smiled a bit.

"Why not make it official once we've all recovered? Just something small? Shinya or Guren could do it…" the others laughed a bit.

"I can hear the bells ringing now," stated Hide as he was smacked across the head by Touka.

"Your turn smartass…." He rubbed the sore spot on his head.

"Right, I'm Nagachika Hideyoshi, but like I've said… that's a mouthful: just call me Hide," he said as Ayato looked to the girl sitting next to him.

"And last buy not least, it's your turn…" she smiled.

"Special Cadet Hyakuya Akane, I'm the handlers of my two wild-card brothers when their girlfriends can't keep them in check," she said as said two brothers looked to her.

"Akane! No fair!" Shinoa began to laugh at the indignant expression on her boyfriend's face.

"Yea! We're not that bad!" Mika defended.

"I know, but while we're on the subject of introductions… all of you should know that save for Kimizuki, none of us like being called by our last names or full names, we prefer just our names," she said, a sweet smile upon her face.

"But we don't know you guys well enough to – "Hinami was cut off by Shinoa's slight laugh.

"Sweetie, after all we've went through in just a singular night, I doubt saying that is going to get you off the hook. We're friends, family… we're going to stand by one another, shoulder to shoulder from now on, so no honor-fics, no titles, or formalities: we're far past that mess," she told her as she met the eyes of the others.

"Oh… okay! Shinoa!" the periwinkle-haired girl smiled, hugging the girl who quickly returned it.

"There we go!" she cheered causing the others to laugh.

"Hey! Rugrats! We're here to get you!" all of the teenagers turned to see Guren pulling up in the army truck.

"About time you got here!" Yuuichiro called as he walked up, and the man hopped out.

"Yea, well, we had some stuff to do. All of you Ghouls are cleared to enter Shibuya, and are going to be living in the apartments. Everything's set up, and we'll be taking you to the medical wing first, from there, you'll be seeing your new homes, and settling in, once you do, everyone is to meet me in the mess hall of the Moon Demon Company once they're cleaned up," Guren stated as the others eyed him.

"Why?" the man smiled.

"We've got a victory to celebrate," he said.

"That's fine, but what about the Ghouls smartass?" Guren looked to his youngest.

"Well, I have some things that were set aside after our first encounter when you and Mika were fourteen. I thought the Ghouls could use a hand, so with some tweaking from old CCG files, we have some special suppressants for them," he said as they tensed.

"Suppressants?" asked Kaneki.

"They'll suppress your need to eat flesh only and allow you to consume normal food and drink as well. It'll be an adapting period, but with a little bit of time, the lot of you will blend in perfectly with the humans in our city…" it was a stunning bit of information as Yuu stretched just a bit and looked at the Ghouls.

"See? I told you he had everything planned, now come on! Let's get packed up and get the hell out of this town!" Yuuichiro said as he waved for them to come and the Ghouls with some help from the others got their belongings in the back of the truck and soon got into the back as well, settled on the benches as Guren hopped back in the front seat and soon, they were driving away from Anteiku, causing most of them to look down, or feel a slight bit of pain as they started to grow in distance away from the old shop.

Kaneki sighed, looking to the others as they began picking up conversations, not wanting to linger on the thought of saying goodbye to the shop that had once been their home. It was time to let the place go, but just because they were leaving, and beginning new lives, didn't mean that they had to forget all the memories both sweet and bitter that they had made there. White bangs fell into his eyes, a black turtle-neck sweater over his battle suit alongside dark wash jeans, and black boots, his attire warm as he looked outwards to the shop and felt his eyes grow wide, as standing there were the ghostly images of those who had been left behind in the four years of trials and tribulations.

Yoriko, Kouma, Banjo and his team of misfits, Tsukiyama, waving in his eccentric way, Hinami's mother and father, and all those who had come and gone in their lives as standing at the front of that group, was Yoshimura, a kindly smile upon his face as he waved to the departing truck as a lone, icy tear trailed down Kaneki's cheek, while he found himself unable to wave back, but a soft smile came to his face all the same.

"Good luck everyone!" he heard their voices ringing in his mind and he smiled once more, closing his eyes.

"Thank you, and we promise… we'll make you all proud, and give protection to those who we now work beside… because you were right, Yoshimura… everyone has a place, even in this corrupt world…"

"Kaneki? You ready for the next adventure?" asked Hide as his friend smiled, bright and warm for the first time in what felt like centuries.

"Yea, I am…"

And with that, the truck turned a corner, the coffee shop going out of sight for the last time.

{…..}

I'm down with the fallen again…

{…}

Author's Note: Before someone flames the hell out of me for showing the supposed ghosts standing at Anteiku's doorstep saying farewell to the others, let me explain that it was meant for emotional purposes, and is not to be taken that all of those named are in fact deceased. They haven't been seen since the virus broke out, but if these Ghouls and few humans could survive it, then surely some of them could, right? Unfortunately, people such as Yoshimura and a few others are deceased, so we can't change that, but I think you'll begin to see familiar faces as time goes on in this story and the ones that connect to it. So, tell me what you guys think, and I'll be looking for your reviews.

Sincerely,

ShadowDragon94.
