Disclaimer I do not own Tokyo Ghoul, or anything else that may belong to other ppl, e.g. songs n shit. I'm just a friendly facfictioner taking out my post-anime depression on writing happy endings. Thank much. (OwO) (Helpful criticism always invited!) BTW Wrote this at 12, quite messy. Point out mistakes in my writing and I will correct them immediately. Much Thanks! (^w^)


He was back at the 11th ward attending to some matters. It was a chaotic place, filled with uncivilized people, humans and ghouls alike.

Kaneki smacked his head against the table. It has been a tiring day, taking care of the trouble in the ward. It was 7 already, and there were still some small conflicts going on. Speaking of which…

He turned the TV on. The nightly news was airing. He gathered information of ghoul activities around the districts through there. His men were only situated in the 11th ward, so he needed another source of information. Other than those at Anteiku, the news was the most reliable.

Looking through the files of certain ghouls, he took note of their threat level. That would help with prioritizing which ghoul to take care of first. It was on the 10th case file when he heard a certain name on TV.

"Anteiku café has been listed as a ghoul hotspot…" His head shot up. What happened? Did they recognize one of them? Touka?

"The CCG is planning to attack the café, the suspected residence of the Owl and possibly the Eyepatch as well…" WHAT. He grabbed his coat and shot out the door. He ran at top speed towards the 20th ward…


Earlier that day…

"Here it is. Anteiku café. Squad, spread out. If you hear anything amiss, attack at once."

"Yes sir!" A unanimous response.

The dove put on his coat and hat and entered. The first thing that hit him was the coffee. That's good.

"Welcome to Anteiku! Please take a seat." An old man walked up.

"Thank you." He took a seat. The old man took his order and the coffee was soon ready. They were alone in the café. Perfect time for an interview.

"So, are you the shop owner?" He was caught off guard.

"Yes, you can say so."

"Nice to meet you. The name is Yukinori Shinohara. Yours?"

"Yoshimura."

"Hmm." He did not recognize that name. "I don't have all day, so let me get straight to the point. Do you have ghouls around here?…"


"Do you have ghouls around here?" The question really caught him off guard. He's an Investigator? He hesitated for a second. "N-no. Not at all."

The dove looked at him for a moment.

"Hmm. Ok. Thanks for the coffee. Here's the bill. Have a good day." He walked out. This is not good…


He hesitated. That was all it took. He basically confirmed for the dove that the suspicions held true. "Squad, fall back. Prepare for war tonight" Shame. The coffee was the best I've ever had…


Touka came back from school. She took leave for an entire week. If she wanted to get into Kamii, she'd better start working.

She walked into the café. The closed sign was displaying.

Closed? Already? She walked up, only to hear murmuring coming from the manager's office. She opened the door.

"Why is the café…?"

"Sit down Touka, we have some news." Yoshimura immediately answered. The entire staff force has gathered. Even Yomo was here. That was not a good sign.

"Touka… I believe we have been exposed… somewhat." She froze. How?

"The dove that attacked you and came to our café for a drink, that man must have recognized you." A wave of dread washed over her.

"It's not your fault. We are not blaming you. We are not sure whether they would send an army or just a squad. However, we can be sure that there will be battle." She slumped onto the floor. First the attack, now a war?

"W-what are we going to do?" She asked.

"Fight." Kaya answered. "This war seems very serious. We would need back up. I have put the Black Dobers on standby. You, Koma?"

"The Devil Ape is ready whenever." He gave her a thumbs up.

"As for you, Touka." The manager turned to her. "You and Hinami will run from here with Yomo. He will keep you safe."

"But…"

"No buts. We cannot lose the entire staff crew. If we get defeated, it will be up to you three to continue the legacy of Anteiku." Tears sprung in her eyes. Lose? She wanted to shout. Wanted to get angry. At Yoshimura for not letting her join in. But she just ran to her room and lay there, punching her bed. Anteiku was her only family. If they die, what's the point of even starting a new café? It would not feel like the current café without them. But what can she do? Yoshimura has made his decision. He will not change his mind. She had to find some way…


The 20th ward has been evacuated. There were already barricades around, set to prevent anyone from going in or out. Kaneki slipped past them easily. The fight was set to happen any minute now. In fact, he might be too late… No. Not yet. No explosions. There is still time. He ran in the direction of the café. He had called no backup. It was not their fight. He did not need to sacrifice anymore good lives. This was his fight. And he is going to come out victorious…


"Squads, assume your positions." Yoshitoki Washuu was the leading man. He was set as the commander of what is now called Operation Owl Suppression. The One-Eyed Owl was the main enemy of the CCG, causing many more deaths that can be counted. That's why this SSS-rated ghoul was on the top of their hit-list, and this time, it seems to Yoshitoki that it would soon be removed from the list.

The four squads assumed their positions, ready to attack. This is going to be one heck of a war. It was time. "Squads!" Silence. "Engage."


The explosions came suddenly. She was in an alley near Anteiku. She had sneaked out of Yomo's house to come and witness the fight, maybe help a bit.

"TAKING FIRE."

The gangs have attacked. Screams could be heard throughout the streets as one by one, the soldiers got taken out by the ghouls. There was no sign of Yoshimura or any High Tier Doves. They would be here soon. She hid there and waited…


The explosions have started. Kaneki was just in time. Putting on his mask, he ran into the battlefield and was immediately greeted by several soldiers.

"Stand down ghoul or we will shoot!" Naïve. He ran right past them, every bullet missing him, leaving a bunch of shocked men. Count that as a lucky encounter. He got a whiff of Kaya. He could sense a lot more ghouls with her. The gangs are involved too huh? Now to find the main event…


"Eyepatch spotted, going towards Squad 2!"

"Roger that." Yoshitoki responded. "Squad 4, listen up. Barricade off the Eyepatch's route. Do not let him get far."

"Yes sir." Amon's voice came over.

Yoshitoki prayed for the Squad. It would be a tough fight for them…


"Akira, help over here in Squad 4. Meeting the Eyepatch near Squad 2." Amon called over as he sprinted towards the location.

"Got it. Coming your way." Any second now… He turned the corner, and there he was, sprinting directly at them…


Kaneki halted. Amon? He had an army behind him.

"I don't want to fight you Amon."

"No choice kid. I can't let you through." Seriously… He cracked his knuckles. Time to test himself. Launching forward, he zipped right past the Squad. Cushioning himself against the wall, he launched again, past Amon and away from the squad. We need to have a coffee someday…

"Assume you position soldiers." Amon tensed. This was going to be tough. "Do not let him pas—" He disappeared. The Squad looked around in confusion, only to see the Eyepatch running off in the distance.

"W-what? He got past?" Confusion in his Squad. How…? He radioed Yoshitoki. "Eyepatch got through, somehow. Heading your way." Shit…

"HOW. Nevermind. Amon, come back here. We need your Squad to keep Eyepatch distracted. We are confronting the Owl. Over." And just on time, the old man walked into the middle of the field. There you are…


This is it. The old man thought. He looked back on all that he had achieved the past years. It really was amazing. Yet all he had fought for, just led to this battle. It was futile to remain peaceful any longer. He does not plan to win. His only plan is to make full use of his time left. His eyes turned black, pupils red. It was time for the final battle…


Kaya was alone. She was dying. He could tell. So he went there first.

"ARGH." Kaya screamed as she got slashed. It was pitiful, seeing three high class investigators ganging up on a ghoul. SS-rated, but still. It was an extreme disadvantage. Time to change that. He appeared beside the first one.

"Fuck off." The investigator only had time to take a peek, just to be flung far away from the battle.

"What the—" The second one went as well. The third turned around, face to face with Kaneki.

"Well well, isn't this surprising. Eyepatch, isn't it?" God he looks awful.

"Time for you to di—" He too got flung into the three-man pile.

"Kaya, you alright?" She was bleeding heavily through her abdomen.

"Ah, Kaneki. Good to see you. Quite late, aren't you?"

"Better late than never."

"Hah."

"I'll get going now. Yoshimura can't go on much longer."

"Alright Kaneki. Go do your thing. Thanks, by the way." He left her to heal. She wouldn't be bothered. The investigators seem to be out of action, and will be for quite some time...


Touka was amazed and terrified. Kaneki took out three top class investigators like he was playing with toys. It was spectacular, but kind of scary. After Kaneki left, she ran to Kaya.

"Touka? Why are you here? Go back to Yomo's house. This is not your fight."

"I'm part of Anteiku too. I determine what I am entitled to." She spoke with determination as she carried Kaya to a deserted parking lot.

"You're hopeless…" With her speed, she got to the top floor easily.

"Ah, the Devil Ape seems to have victory! How splendid!" Koma was here too. It was safe, from the sound of it.

"Eh? Is that Touka? What are you… Kaya! What happened? Bad luck?"

"Take her. Bring her somewhere safe. I still have things to take care of."

"Got it kiddo! Leave it to me." She flew off, leaving Kaya in Koma's care.

C'mon Kaneki, where did you go…
