chapter 3

He had it coming. Kaneki. He should've known better than to try and escape from Aogiri. Did he really think that Banjou, that weak ass man, could get them outta here? He tried leading a bunch of the people from the 11th ward but they were stopped by the Bin brothers. That punk ass thought he could get away while some of us were gone. "Tch" I grunted with anger. How dare someone with no strength try and do something like that. Kaneki should've thought about the risks involved. He just wasn't thinking. And look what happened to him. I heard he was with Yamori, the sicko who loved to spend time in his "hobby room". But this couldn't bother me, we were too busy getting ready for something big.

"Kano! Get your ass over here!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I said as I lazily jogged over to Ayato. "What is it?"

"Go down and get Yamori." He said, a little too harsh for my liking.

"OK whatever.." I sighed. He's been really tense lately I thought to myself.

God was it a long walk down to Yamori, not only was it not attached to the main building it went way fat down. Thousands of steps all the way to the bottom. I was approaching the door when I first heard the screams. They were awful. Bone shattering screams of pure anguish. I didn't even think that these were even possible. What could be happening? I grasped the handle and pulled, and I was not at all prepared for what was inside .

Blood. There was blood everywhere. One the wall on the floor spreading and drying in every crack. What the hell was going on on this place. And I loved to the center of the room. There Kaneki was, chained to a wooden chair, screaming his head off. Yamori, maniacally laughing as he took his pliers and took one of Kaneki's toes.

This isn't real. This isn't actually happening in Aogiri. There's no fucking way that they'd let this psycho in here and do this. We were all together us ghouks. It was supposed to be us against the humans, against the CCG. What was going on? What was I going to do?

"Yamori you're wanted upstairs." Someone said. It sounded like me. Buy it couldnt be, how was I even capable of speech?

"Hahaha ok.. I'll be back Kaneki." Yamori slurred his last words and spit the "ki" in Kaneki's name. He turned and walked past me. Time seemed to slow down. His whole body radiated power and fear. The adrenaline was corsing through his body, you could practically hear it. I was frozen, just struck with terror. He laughed as he passes me and headed up. I automatically turned to follow him but I heard his wimpering. The tremble in his cries, the choking on terror and pain. My hand gripped the door frame. I couldn't do it. I couldn't leave him like this. Not again. I couldn't make up for my weakness on the past, but I could do something now.

I walked towards him. And then I began to hear the numbers. He was counting, the numbers were barely coming outcomprehensible, and they were between the sobs. What had that psychopath done to him? I was walking to release his chains when I saw. Fingers and toes bloodied and pale in a bucket. There had to be 50 or more in there. 50?! 50 times?! How ..? how was this happening...? I was shaking, shaking hard. I was responsible. I let this happen to him. I was my fault he was going through this hell. I wasn't strong enough to protect him.

I had to get him out of here. The pliers where where they? I could use them to break through these chains. Damn, Yamori took them with him. I would have to use my kagune. I felt the patch between my shoulder blades grow warm as my ukaku came out. The flames on my back hardened and made a thousand tiny daggers that shattered the chains.

I gently touched his sides, trying to lift him. He was still shaking, very hard. His clothes were so worn down that I could feel his sides through them. Warm skin soft but scratched up. I held him tight to me, "It's ok now," I quietly said into his ear, "I've got you." His breathing started to calm down. Somehow I heard it, but it was so small and silent a "thank you" yet it gave me the strength to sling him over my shoulders. Every step I took was hard, I was definitely the worst person to try and carry someone, especially bigger than me. Crap what was I going to do with him? Where was he going to go? I had no clue I was just sluggishly moving, trying to catch my breath as a climbed up the stairs. Arghh there were so many, I thought there was a lot going down but this was so much harder.

How many were left? There seemed like thousands. It was hard to breathe I barely had any strength left in me. I was only moving because of one thing. Kaneki. I had to help him.

"What do you think you're doing with him?" Boomed a voice.
