A/N: Hey guys! You ready for the big bad battle!? Don't be, cause I just don't know how it will turn out xD. Anyway, let's get on with the story, since I know that's what you all like.

"Are you out of your mind!?" Louise screamed while pointing a finger at Kaneki. Kaneki, helping Siesta onto a chair, looked back at her.

"No, I'm not. A person who just sits back and watches his friend get threatened doesn't deserve them." He countered, looking back at Siesta. "Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked, observing her for any bruising or cuts.

"N-No I'm fine, thank you. If you hadn't have stepped in, I don't know what would've happened…" She looked down at her shaking hands, still frightened at what Guiche did.

"Oh for Brimir's sake, who cares about some maid! What's more important right now is the fact that you challenged a noble to a duel! You're going to get yourself slaughtered! There's no way a commoner could beat a noble!" She frustratingly stomped her foot as she finished. Kaneki only gave her a glare before standing up.

"Siesta, I know it's a lot to ask of you right now, but can you take me to this 'Vestri Court'?"

Siesta looked up at him with tear trails marking her cheeks. Wiping them quickly, she stood up. " I can, but please don't do anything rash. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I got my friend hurt or even killed because of me…." She looked down at her hands again. Kaneki put on his best smile, clamping a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, Siesta. I'm done doing this because of you. I'm doing this because someone needs to put that stuck up bastard in his place." He let go of her shoulder, waiting for her to take the lead. Siesta couldn't help but smile at his words while walking towards their destination. Kaneki stopped and looked back at Louise. "You can either sit there and complain, or you can go with us and watch the fight."

"Oh I'm going to complain to you, alright! And I'm going to do it all the way there!" She said, stomping her foot again while storming off towards them.

[Scene]

Kaneki couldn't believe his eyes. There were so many people gathered in a circle, all of them second years if the color of their cloaks meant anything. The students saw him and some of them made a path for him as he drew closer, some shocked that he had actually shown up. Entering, he saw Guiche at the far end of the ring, boasting about how he was going to put the commoner in his place. Kaneki just ignored him, the students behind him closing the path he entered.

"So the commoner decided to show his face! I'm actually quite surprised you didn't run away with your tail between your legs like a kicked mutt. As a commendation from a gentleman, I'll give you one last chance to apologize. I'll even let that maid off with a slap on the wrist." Guiche entered his usual pose, some of the second years swooning over his act of "kindness".

"Are you just going to bark all day or are we going to finish this little facade?" Kaneki spat, gaining a look of disgust from Guiche and some of the swooners.

"Fine! If a commoner doesn't want to accept my kindness, then I'll just have to teach him how scary a mage can be!" Guiche tossed in three petals from his rose, said rose petals glowing brightly before becoming empty suits of armor. Kaneki eyes widened slightly at this.

'So this is magic…" He pondered, studying their physique. 'They don't look all that intimidating.' The crowd looked on in amusement while Guiche held his rose to his face while smiling.

"Remember this well, commoner, for this will be the last time you hear it. My runic name is Guiche the Bronze, dot class earth mage." He entered his signature pose, the swooners once again swooning. Kaneki just scoffed at his antics, Guiche growing red from anger. He pointed his wand at him, ordering his Valkyries to attack. They didn't even get a single step before something small and pink rushed into the battleground.

"Stop!" Louise yelled, surprising Guiche. He ordered his Valkyries to stop, confused as to why Louise had just ran in.

"What do you think you're doing?" He asked, scowling at her for interrupting his duel. She fidgeted a bit under his gaze, but stood her ground.

"Please forgive my familiar for acting so rude towards you. If you let him go I promise it won't happen again." She stated, looking up at him with eyes full of plea. Guiche only scoffed at her, pointing his rose in her direction.

"You're asking me to forgive this commoner, who sullied me and my name not once, but twice!? He sternly asked, folding his arms as he looked down on her. Louise looked back at Kaneki before doing something nobody had expected from her. She bowed before Guiche, the crowd gasping at her. Kaneki heard someone in the crowd yell 'Louise, what are you doing!?" before going quiet.

"Please, I beg of you, forgive my familiar for his misdeeds." Guiche was completely stunned. not in a million years did he expect this proud, selfish girl to bow her head to him. He couldn't help but smirk at Louise, twirling his rose in hand. His gaze went from Louise to her familiar.

"I'll only accept that apology if your familiar bows his head as well."

Louise couldn't believe what she was hearing. After all of that, he still wouldn't forgive him!? She should've known what he would do, and it was her fault for not playing the scenario enough in her mind. She could only pray to Brimir for her stubborn familiar to bow his head as well.

"If you're done with the theatrics, then I hope you're ready. Louise, I advise you move unless you want to get hurt." Kaneki said, unshaken from her antics. She only gaped at him, Guiche even more furious. Kaneki only ignored him, taking off his over coat as His body suit was fully exposed to the world.

"Oh father Brimir look at those abs!" Some red haired girl yelled, the rest of the crowd silently admiring his build.

"Valkyries, attack!" Guiche yelled, pointing his rose at Kaneki. Kaneki easily dodged a punch headed straight for his stomach Another one dashed towards him, aiming for his head. He quickly placed his hand on the ground, twisting as he kicked the suit of armor in the head. The Valkyrie had no chance as it completely broke apart and vanished. Regaining his balance, he jumped backwards, narrowly avoiding an attack from the third one.

'They are so much easier to predict than I thought they were going to be.' he thought, eyes swiftly picking out punch after punch, bringing the crowd to awe. He smirked, turning on his heel and planting a swift sidekick to the Valkyrie's abdomen. It shattered like glass.

'two down, one more to go.' he smirked as a bronze leg came crashing down towards his head. Kaneki's hand shot up, catching the appendage mid-strike before lifting it and slamming the rest of its body into the ground. Just like the others, it shattered and dissipated into dust. The crowd clapped loudly, a fat blond boy harassing Guiche as he laughed with the rest.

"Is that all you got? That was barely a warm-up." Kaneki deadpanned, Guiche's rage becoming even more ferocious. Throwing out his rose again, 6 petals fell to the floor, and in their wake six Valkyries appeared. Each one held a weapon in their hands, ranging from spears to swords.

"Guiche, are you insane! You're going to kill him!" Louise yelled, trying to get Guiche to stop. Guiche only grunted in anger, ordering the Valkyries to attack once again, this time in a group. Kaneki jumped into the air, avoiding the stabs and slashes from the suits, only to get knocked back down by a powerful axe kick. The ground broke apart as he hit the earth, coughing up blood in the process. Kaneki laid there, unmoving.

"Kaneki!" Louise yelled as she ran towards his prone form. She didn't even get close to him before he stood back up to his full height. The bones in his arms completely shattered. Louise was about to grab him and take him to the infirmary, but stopped herself as she saw the look on his face.

"Louise, get back in the crowd…" He said, Louise flinching at the complete glee that shown through his eyes. She backed up as fast as she could, Siesta appearing next to her.

"Miss Louise, what happened!? Is Kaneki alright!?" She asked, looking at Louise for any information. Louise's face looked like she had seen death itself smiling back at her. Siesta could only watch as she walked right passed her and out the crowd. 'something is definitely wrong here!' Siesta told herself, getting as close as she could toward Kaneki and Guiche.

Kaneki stretched out his arms, loud cracking noises resounding through the field as his bones melded back together. Many of the students took on looks of disgust and some even looked close to vomiting. Guiche couldn't believe his eyes as he saw broken bones meld back and take on their former shape. He felt fear well into him, sweat dripping down his face as he stared at this monstrosity.

Kaneki felt absolute pleasure pouring from his body. Though he could feel the pain, it felt only like a little bug had bit him, and the euphoria in his system was definitely helping. 'What is this?' he asked himself, the bones finally done mending together.

'Kaneki.' He heard her voice, almost silent, resound through the back of his mind. 'Kaneki, use me...' she said seductively. He felt her arms wrap around him once more, slowly melting into his being. He looked up, Guiche completely terrified

"Sorry Guiche, but I think it's about time we end this." Kaneki brought his hand up, and with a pull of his thumb, an even louder crack echoing through the field. Immediately after, two crimson tentacles appeared from his back. "Right?"

A/N: And there it is people! The dreaded cliffhanger! Yeah, I know you all want to read more of my horrible fight scenes, but I need y'all coming back for more, don't I? Anyway, I wanna know what you all want to happen to Guiche. Do you want him to die, get severely hurt, or just get off Scot-free like nothing ever happened (beside the great fear he will have every time he sees Kaneki)? Let me know in Pm's and Reviews!
