Ehh... Its been long since I posted... Sorry but exams are comming soon and I HAVE to get good results T_T
Anyways, here is the chapter!
Rin's POV
Within that night, tons of accidents happened. With a construction site with collapsed steel beams, a woman got crushed under the weight of the beams and another male barely surviving. At that night, another CCG officer was murdered in his house even with so many others living so close to him. As a rank 1 officer, he should have enough skills to even prevent ghouls from assassinating him in the night.
"Damn it! Will we even have enough investigators to cover up all these sites? With constant ghoul attacks, sooner or later younger investigators will be scared away." I muttered to myself.
"Rin! Are you leaving for the steel beams site?" Chesska asked me as she dumped a chunk of papers on my work table. "Either follow me to the site or choose to do the reports." She said with a cheeky smile.
Standing up, I gave a bored stare at Chesska. I will do anything and everything just to prevent getting the whole chunk of reports that she would give me. As she left, I grabbed my quinque as I felt my hand grasp onto a chain. Lifting it up, my eyes lead to the small black crystal hanging on the chain. It's been a while since I wore it out. Placing it onto my neck, I fastened it as I wore my white long coat. Adjusting the fit of it, I grabbed the suitcase as I left out of the CCG.
As I reached the accident site, I vaguely smelt the scent of a ghoul as I came closer to the area. Knowing that something was seriously wrong because of how the position of the steel beams was before they crashed, I suspected something was wrong. Asking Chesska what the accident was like and the victim, I was told that a young man and woman was found crushed under the beams. The woman died instantly and yet the young man was still barely alive. Without any family consent, the doctors transplanted her organs into his. Because of that, he managed to live but yet tons of reports was flooding everywhere.
With no secure evidence, we could hardly do anything but instead, let the police do all the work for us. Even with tons of reports and the slight probability of a ghoul in action, we could not do anything and let the case be closed as a fatal construction accident.
Akemi POV
With the event that happened yesterday about the steel beams crashing onto 2 victims, tons and tons of work were given to the CCG. Maybe because of that, they could hardly pay any attention into the in-house murder that I did to that poor little rank one officer. Yes, I am Akemi Kane, one of the top dogs in Aogiri. Being the top assassin in the whole of Aogiri, I was tasked to serve the OWL, or so they call the One-eyed king of arigori. I was abandoned since young, and Aogiri took me in. They cared for me and fed me, leading me into my teen days. Learning how to fight ever since I could walk, I was heads and tails better than the other ghouls of my batch. With excellent dodging skills, I could easily overpower some of the adult ghouls at the age of 8. Because of that, I had the honor of the given name of the Kuroi Neko, the black cat.
That name came from my savior, the leader of Aogiri. Pledging myself to serve her no matter what the situation was, I was the elite of the elite in Aorigi. With a long and yet thin and muscular Bikaku, I could move from places to places really easily and silently.
Walking into a large room, I found myself in front of the leader of Aogiri, the one-eyed king. With bandages all over her face and hands, even if I walk past her in a busy street, there would be a slight chance that I would not recognize her.
"Akemi... was it?" a sweet voice sounded from the leader. "My faithful and promising assassin, the one ghoul that I trust far more than some of my leaders." Jumping down from where she was sitting, she landed gracefully, almost without any sound.
"I have a task for you, can you help me to do it?" She spoke softly to me, almost whispering into my ear.
"For you, I will do anything. I will only listen to you and not anyone else." I bowed my head low as I closed my eyes.
"Then, keep this mission a secret okay? Help me to..."
"Yes, I will execute it immediately."
With that, I left the main hall with the one-eyed king inside. Moving into my room, I wore my bell necklace as well as my hunting boots as I left the hideout. Moving in the cover of the darkness, sneaking through the slightly open window of the hospital room, I hoisted myself as I snuck into the room. Hearing the soft beeps of the heart monitor and the soft footsteps of the nurses outside, my eyes slowly adjusted to the pitch black darkness of the room. Lying down in the middle of the room, was a young man with an oxygen mask as well as many other medical equipments.
"That must be the victim of the steel beam accident, isn't he?" I muttered to myself quietly. "I'm sorry, but I am here to get rid of you." Raising my hand as I was about to pierce his heart, I saw a faint blackish gleam in his eye. Curious, I stared closer just to get the biggest shock of my life.
The guy I was sent to kill was a one-eyed ghoul. Just like me.
Hearing footsteps entering the walkway, I hurriedly slid under the empty bed nearby. As the door opened, I heard a soft woman voice muttering to herself, "I thought I heard something strange in here." Closing the door behind her back, I slid out of the bed as I climbed out of the window.
'I need to report this to her...' that was the only thought I could think of. Being one of the same kind as me, I would not be able to kill him if he was a valuable project. Another one-eyed ghoul, just like me. I had to get back to Aogiri as soon as possible. A new one-eyed may change so much of the future. One-eyed ghouls were far stronger than pure blooded ones.
Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, many thoughts were swirling in my mind. One-eye ghouls were very rare due to the fact that when they are still young, they could die either due to the fact that they could either not get enough nutrients when in their mother's womb or could be absorbed because they were being mistaken for food. But, the weird wart was he smelt neither like a ghoul nor human. Like a mix of them both.
With a sudden stop in my step, I looked downwards just to see a few ghouls being hunted by a few CCG investigators. With Quinques in hand, I could see those investigators chasing after the small gang of 3 ghouls.
'Why won't they just fight back? Having a team of 3, you can easily defeat that small two investigators. Those quinques are very weak. Even with a B ranked Kagune you can shatter it easily...' I muttered to myself. Just when I was about to leave, I saw one of them trip over a fallen trash can. With the small bundle flying out of her hands, her kagune unfurled as it grabbed the small bundle of cloth gently. As the pulsing red short Rinkaku retracted, I saw her hugging the small bundle as the investigator cornered her.
With the investigator raising his Bikaku quinque, he swiftly ended the woman's life without any mercy. With the other two ghouls screaming and crying, I saw the investigator pick up the small bundle which she tried so hard protecting. Hearing a soft cry from the bundle, a moment of hesitation struck me. I was told long ago never to interfere with other's business, but with such a cruel sight, should I really stand back?
Unable to take it anymore, I jumped down as I placed my mask on. In such a screwed up world that we live in, there was never one day that normal ghouls could live without any much sense of safety or peace.
Landing silently, I stood face to face, staring at the investigator holding the child. I guess having an SS rated ghoul staring straight at you will freak you out. Especially one that was rumoured to just kill an investigator even with so many others nearby.
Running behind him, I tapped his shoulder as I took the child into my hands. Passing the child to the other ghouls, I turned back just to face the two shocked investigators.
"Come at me. I can take both of you anytime." I said as my Kakugan appeared on my right eye. With one grey eye and another ghoul's eye, I guess I was scary enough to scare them and taunt them in the meanwhile.
Running towards me, he took out the Bikaku quinque as he slashed wildly into the air. Panic must have taken over him as he did not even bother to aim as it was a wild slash. "Too slow," I muttered as I grabbed his quinque. With his partner planning to slash at my back while I was still distracted, I could hear his ragged breathing as I turned around and threw the other investigator onto the ground. A ghoul's physical strength far exceeds a normal human. Not to say that I was trained since young and was the top of Aogiri's batch, I was far stronger than them. If they were smart enough, they could have played dead and could have left with their lives.
The two investigators slowly stood up as they fumbled for their quinques. "Looking for this?" I said with a joking tone as I lifted up the two quinques. Hearing a soft sound of footsteps behind me, rapidly closing distance, I took up the blades just to block a heavy quinque that threw me onto the wall.
"That sure hurts...? It's been a long time since I felt such power like that. I must compliment you but it's the end." Walking towards the two helpless investigators, I grabbed them by the neck as I lifted both of them up to their legs. Slamming them both onto the wall, they hung them limply, most likely unconscious or dead. Jabbing them through their vitals, I made sure they stayed there asleep for all eternity.
"I really hate to do this but..." I whispered as I brought the red substance on my hands as I licked it. The warm liquid went down my throat as I felt a sudden surge of power. With now on full strength, my Bikaku appeared, black and pulsing with red veins.
u haI could see the investigator tighten his grip around his quinque as my Bikaku extended. Even though it was long and thin, it was really muscular and a light silver colour appeared at the tip of my tail. Running towards him, I aimed for his neck as he smartly blocked it.
"Is that all you can do?" He said taunting me. Standing up, I said sweetly, "do I really need to do more?" Saying that, he looked at his quinque as hairline cracks started appearing on it. Shattering into pieces, everyone could deem that it was useless. With eyes full of horror, he walked back as I took a step forward.
"Stay... Stay back!" He said before tripping over the small bags of rubbish cans behind him. Lying on his back, he closed his eyes as I lifted him up by the collar. "Are you that dumb to face an SS rated ghoul alon- " I started to speak as I felt a sharp pain from my abdomen.
Dropping him, I looked down only to see a small quinque blade along my waist. Pulling it out, I was hoping for the wound to heal as per normal but to my dismay, it only got worse.
"Ahahaha. Didn't you think that I would not have any weapons with me as a form of self-defense?" He said as he walked closer and closer towards me. "Feeling slightly dizzy, my vision started to blur as I collapsed onto the ground.
"And I forgot to tell you. That quinque blade is kinda special. To ghouls, it poisons on contact. Even if it is a prototype, I can see that it is strong enough to make an SS rated ghoul kneel like that in pain." That investigator said with a laugh. "Crawl all you want, but it won't kill you. It will just make you weak enough for you to succumb to me."
Crawling nearer and nearer towards the fallen investigators, I felt a sharp pull on my hand. "Woah there, don't try to give me extra trouble. It will be really annoying for me to need to catch you once again if you escape." He said with a small glint in his eye.
"Who ever said I was going for them in the first place?" I mumbled as I took out the Quinque and stabbed him before standing up. "I learn from other's fast, and I will never listen to others." Limping towards the nearest wall, I sat down as I looked at my wound. Sure it was deep, but if I had a little more energy, I could have taken a small bite...
With something warm in my hand, I faintly looked at my hand as I saw the food I was hoping to have on my hand. Eating, my wound heal as my Bikaku slowly vanished. Resting for 5 minutes, I felt my energy return as I looked at the other ghoul and the child. Knowing that the other ghoul had saved me, maybe it was to return the favour, I called him to follow me, as I picked up the female's ghoul's body.
Laying her on the hillside, I left a small bunch of flowers on her hand as I left her there, with the other ghouls mourning for her. As I left, I heard for him to call out for me.
"Wait! Let us follow you. We may be of some help." the smaller sized boy called out to me as he grabbed my shirt. Looking at them, I felt a small pinch of pity as I called for them to follow me.
As we reached Aogiri's hideout, I asked the chefs to prepare a dish of food for them as I walked to the OWL's Hall. As I looked into her eyes, I explained about how that young man was a one-eyed. Just like her and me. He may be of good use when time comes.
"You sure are famous for disobeying orders. Black Cat. This is the most important mission I have ever given you, can you help me to fulfil it? After all, I don't know if you will listen to my request." She said with a soft tone in her voice.
"This time, I will fulfil your request. I will not fail." I replied.
"Good. So... do you know the coffee shop in the 20th ward? Please infiltrate it. Be my spy and tell me whatever that goes on in there." She told me...
The next day, I packed up all of my stuff as I decided to complete the secret mission that she gave me herself. With a hundred and one questions in my head, why she would want me to go into such a fimsly organistion? Why me, of all the other ghouls?
As I stepped into the coffee shop, all eyes was on me as it was not the opening time of the shop yet.
"Can I talk to the Manager? I want to find work here..." I mumbled in a soft tone, potraying myself as a weak and harmless girl.
"He is at the back. Knock the door before you enter."
Step one accomplished. I thought to my self as I opened the back door. With lots of purduading, I finally managed to get a small room.
As I entered my dusty room, I smilied as if I was pleased till they closed the door. Leaving out a big sigh, I placed my luggage on the floor as I looked around. This was about one tenth of my luxurious room in Aogiri. Fine with me. I just needed to bear with this as I unpacked my items. With my hand on my mask, I decided to hide them. I have to be an innocent girl here and report to the Leader. I was only Faithful to Eto, and everything and anything I would do would be for her sake, I thought as I placed my mask and bells into the drawer.
Hanako POV
As days passed on with us just staying in our houses, having a low profile before I decided to go out to the coffee shop in ward 20. Having everyone either at work or in school, I walked along the streets as I felt a faint smell of blood from the alley. Running towards the side of the train tracks, I saw the sight of blood as a girl was beating a boy upside down before he went onto his knees.
Running there, I stopped as I saw that the girl was the one at the coffee shop. With her red Ukaku out, she looked really menacing.
"Go away. He is my prey." She said as her Ukaku hardened. Unleashing my Ukaku too, I opened it just in time as I blocked all of the shards coming out from her single Ukaku. "The Black Falcon huh?" She muttered as both of my ukaku spread out behind me.
"Wait! I am not here to fight." I said as my ukaku vanished from my back as I raised my hands in a form of surrender. As much as I hated it, having four ghouls at such a place would be really suspicious.
Spotting a human behind her, I walked past her as I looked at that guy, lying on the floor, unconscious. Looking up just to see another hanging at the railings by his neck, I looked at the female waitress as I asked, "Kirishima Touka, was it? Mind if I took that guy to prevent him from bleeding to death?"
"Whatever that suits you."
Hearing that, I jumped from a trash can and slowly up the walls as I grabbed a metal bar by the side, keeping my balance. With a Ukaku crystal shard from my back, I cleverly sliced the steel beam as he fell from it. Reaching my hand out, I manage to hold his limp hand as I let go of the beam, hovering in the air before gently landing on the ground with a soft thud.
"I will take this two to Anteiku. Try to handle him yourself." She told me as she looked at the limp bodies of the boy named Kaneki and Hide. "I never heard you name, what is it?" She asked me.
"Hanako Haiyashi. But I will prefer if you call me the Black Falcon. It's better that way." I replied as I felt slight motion on my back where the other guy was. Following her into Anteiku, the strong smell of coffee hit my nose as I placed him down in a room. Walking out, I saw Touka talking to someone as I looked at him with surprise.
"O..W...L?" I asked as I stared at that old man, smiling at me. A distinct and yet vague memory of the Legendary one Eyed OWL. Even though the rumours said that Aogiri's leader was the OWL, I still had the moment of unease beside him, as if he was far more powerful than what he looks?
"Let's get out of that topic, can we? My name is Yoshimura, the manager of this café" he told me.
Talking to each other for about 30 minutes he finally asked, "Would you like to join Anteiku? Being peace-loving, you can stop your killing spree. Be like us, do not murder and yet live in peace."
Thinking for a while, I finally replied, "I'll love to join you, but, my life have been in the darkness since I was born. There is no point in sparing them anymore. If that is all, I will be taking my leave." Saying that, I finished my coffee as I stood up and left. With the soft tingling sounds of bells as I closed the door, I quickly took the train back to the 14th ward, where my home was. Thinking if I should have accepted their offer, I quickly wiped that thought out of my mind. I have killed so many and yet they have no found me yet. Being peace-loving, it would only be harder to survive if trouble comes...
