"Kaneki! Hey Kaneki where are you?" Touka yelled breathlessly. She had been searching for him for an hour now and still nothing. ~Why, how could I have been so damn stupid! I let them take him...~ the girl looks down silently scolding herself.
"Kaneki!" She yells louder starting to run looking for her friend again.
"M... My hands! No stop!" Screeches Kaneki as his fingers are pulled off for the seventeenth time. "I want you to watch them grow back" Yamori said in a toneless voice as he firmly grabbed the base of Kaneki's head making him watch his own regenerative ability. Kaneki whimpered slightly, every movement was pain and now he had to watch.
His eyes widened in horror at the sight of the fingers reforming themselves, each vein and little piece of flesh connecting themselves one large gruesome movement. This was him. This was what he had become. He never did anything wrong... So why. He shook his head violently attempting to fight off the thoughts, and the sight, and himself. It didn't work, so he screamed.
"Kaneki please!" She yelled again, almost giving up on hope that an answer would come. She looked down angrily and kicked a wall out of frustration. As if on cue, a noise so light you would have trouble hearing it in a silent room sounded. A scream. Who else could it be but Kaneki? She sprinted towards the noise, suddenly filled with energy.
When she finally stopped running she was 3 floors down and in a large, empty, and dim room. She listened again for minutes on end waiting for some kind of noise from her friend. Finally after a good 10 minuets of silent, nervous waiting she heard it. The most horrifying, scared, blood curdling scream she had ever heard. Something straight out of a horror movie. It sent shivers down her spine and she cringed at the noise not daring to think of what had brought that type of scream out of her closest friend.
"I can't go in the door... He'd kill me. I need to find another way in..." Touka muttered deep in thought as she looked around. After only a few seconds she spotted a small staircase, much like the ones on the sides of apartment buildings in case of a fire. She made her way to the staircase and started making her way up quickly and quietly. Even though no one was around she wanted to be careful just in case, she had already made it this far getting caught would ruin it all.
Every few seconds now she would hear a scream or a yelp, maybe a muffled whimper out of Kaneki as she climbed up the stairs. It sickened her, how could someone be so cruel. Yes some ghouls were bad, but there's a limit right? No... They're isn't. "That's why I am still weak, I still believes that." She muttered just as she reached the top.
Slowly and soundlessly she made her way through a small door at the top entering onto a small balcony in large checkered room. She kneeled to make sure she wouldn't be seen and she let her eyes scan the room looking only for one thing, Kaneki. Once they found him he was sitting there, covered in blood and scars, sweaty and scared as Yamori approached him laughing. "Oh Kaneki..." She whispered.
