Chapter 3
Noise. Rushing people and some are stopping by looking at the two guys being blown with such inhuman strength.
"Sasaki-san!" Torou came just in time to catch Sasaki from behind.
A long open moment as the daily noise stopped. People were staring.
Sasaki`s eyes were mirroring the silver sky as Torou was keeping his head on her lap. Probably he would hit the concrete if she didn`t come there. She doubt something and her arrival was welcomed. Judging by her female clothes, she looked like having a free day.
The tall half ghoul was sitting there forced to withdraw his hand. He waited for the young investigator to recall his senses, but as the two from behind approaches panicked, he had to vanish from the view. Somehow he didn`t want to see Kaneki hurt more than he was two years ago. He heard the whole story. As long as he couldn`t ask him personally, he had the chance to hear it from those who met him. The lucky experiment of Dr. Kanou. Kaneki Ken, an ordinary college student with both parents lost.
Amon understood everything with maturity and as he didn`t interfere with CCG these past two years, he wanted to return at least to see what Arima build on the broken shell of Kanou`s experiment.
Shirazu and Urie arrived fast, facing a dashing dark ghost retracting in the sky buildings. As for Urie who would probably break the line and fight the ghoul, Shirazu was worried about what just happened and dragged his scattered team mates at Sasaki`s scene.
"Maman...!" Saiko runs shaggy and lands near Sasaki, shaking him from day dreaming.
People already started to move again mumbling about what just happened, about the man who vanished like the wind. His speed deceived their eyes.
Noise.
"Ngn..." After a few seconds of shaking, Sasaki stirs to get up from Torou`s lap. "I(boku)..." Kaneki paused realizing the change all of a sudden. "I(ore)... am fine..." He fakes a kind smile rubbing his chin. It was the best lie he could tell trying to recognize the faces around him.
"Maman...?" Saiko`s eyes were searching on him. The girl`s worry makes Kaneki slap his own face to get rid of the infernal pain.
"Y-Yes...?" He was disturbed, but he had to play Sasaki`s decent role, as the revived Kaneki could make everything worst. He struggles from Torou`s hands, pushing the guys lightly. His mind was fighting what to do, yet the daily noise was mixing with his headache. He wasn`t Sasaki and these guys were just gathering around him leaving him without air.
"You are not maman!"
Kaneki`s grey eyes looks in surprise. He didn`t know how she could tell that he was not Sasaki. It`s just this own body after all. He didn`t say anything unnatural, yet she burst out with this all of the blue.
His legs, his half low body numbs.
"F-...!"
In a couple of seconds Kaneki was back down on the concrete. Torou didn`t move from his side and her knees had nothing to do raw concrete.
"Sassan!"
"Sasaki-san!"
Sasaki`s team was alarmed near the fainted young inspector.
Evening sets fast after the busy day. The sky was blood red.
Street noise mixing with the squad screams.
"Hurry up!" Shirazu was holding Sasaki on his right shoulder and Urie on his lower left one. The difference of height was small, but that wasn`t the bad thing. Sasaki was stained with blood. It was Torou`s who was holding the biten arm.
"Move!" Urie growls at the crowed people.
"Maman?" Saiko`s was fallowing them, trying to grab someone`s sleeve so she won`t fall behind.
There were people stopping by just to watch.
Noise.
"Hey, Saiko." Shirazu notices Saiko clinging on his shirt. "What did ya mean back there that he`s not Sassan?"
Saiko shrugs careless like she already got passed the scene.
[A/N 1: I used the usual way the characters calls Sasaki Haise.]
[A/N 2: Well, I read manga and I can tell that Kaneki calls himself "boku" ; I think he has more respect for his older personality to call himself "ore".]
