Greetings and salutations (So sorry, I'm heathers, no. I'm just musical (and movie) trash). My sunburn hurts like I just got hit with a truck. A flaming truck. A flaming truck that just fuckin threw me into the god damn blazing sun. Oh, did I not mention I have a sunburn before? No, I didn't? Oh. Well, I do. And It hurts. Like. A. Fuckin. Bitch.
Anyways, while Homegirl (cough cough me cough cough) did like how past homegirl (cough cough me cough cough) made Lucy find Kaneki, and they had a quote on quote "adorable kiss". (Bad sound affects included.) But... it didn't in fit my crappy timeline. Apologies. Although, and while I can't make any solid, concrete promises, I can say that it might come back revamped in another chapter.
Recap:
"Master. It's time."
"I see. Yes, I was expecting this when I saw the request come in earlier today."
"I guess this is goodbye..."
"Goodbye, child"
"You know where the letters are, right?" A nod was the answer I got. I activated my kakugan, then jumped. Not five feet from the ground, and I activated my Kagune's flight mode, then took off into the sky
'We'll be together soon, Kaneki.'
I was flying! After so many long months, I was finally flying again! It felt great to feel the clouds make my hands wet with their water vapor again. Anyways! Breaking out of my flying induced stupor, I grabbed the request out of my back pocket before it flew out. I held it as still as I could, which turned out to not be that still, as it was still almost flying out of my grasp. However, I still managed to read, though just barely.
FIND HER!
A teen with short purple hair and purple eyes, a child with short honey hair and eyes, and a tall man with white hair and grey eyes wearing a black trench coat are looking for a lost friend.

She has light blond hair and red and brown eyes.
Location of requesters: acalphia
Reward
J12,000
I see, so they're in my home town, that figures. Wait, why would they need me? They seemed to have everything under control at Anteiku... Could it be possible something happen? Ugh. Fuck, I should have thought about this stuff more! Well...meh. Screw it! The flight there will give me some time to think about it, anyways.
Time skip when she arrives at the clients home
As I reached the clientele's house, I slowed down and aimed for the ground. As my feet hit the ground one at a time, I could feel the weight of the world throw itself back onto my shoulders. (*Cough cough gravity weighing down p cough couch*) I walk up to the client's front door, maiking sure to ring the doorbell. After a minute or two I tried to knock. After a few minutes of nothing, I placed my hand on the knob. I turned it, expecting it to be locked. To my surprise, it wasn't. The door swung open.
I walked in, and looked around. There was little to no furniture in the house and, in contrast to the well groomed outside, the inside was old, dated, and looked extremely dilapidated. "Hello?" I opened my mouth to cringing at the sound of my own voice. It was most likely not the smartest idea on my part to yell into a seemingly abandoned house, but it's all I got. After a couple seconds of dead silence, I heard three pairs of footsteps coming down the stairs. "If you aren't Heartfilia, Lucy, Go away! I am not dealing with anymore phonies!" A very familiar voice echoed off the blank walls. The voice was hostile, but strangely feminine. I had heard it before.
"People actually call me Lucy Heartfilia here," I answered, hearing the footsteps grow closer. I heard two gasps and faster footsteps. "Lucy!?" I turned my head to the voice from the bottoms of the staircase. "Hello Touka, Hinami, Mr. Yomo." I greeted. Touka and Hinami ran towards me and brought me into a hug. After a while, I pulled back and showed them the request. "What's this all about?"
"We need your help, Lucy." Touka said, grasping my hands. "I could help you if you stop playing the pronoun game." I complained, making a reference to a internet show. "Pronoun game? Is that something they play here?" Hinami asked, playing with a strand of her hair. I struggled to keep in a laugh, but was able to swallow it anyways. "It's nothin, Hinami. Just a... figure of expression we use here." I said, a smile plastered on her face.
"Now, what do you need my help with, Touka?" I asked taking one hand away from Touka's grasp to rub Hinami's hair playfully, trying to mess it up. "Well... someone is missing..." Touka trailed off, causing me to stop. I turned to her and retracted my other hand. I crossed my arms, silently praying it wasn't anyone special. "Who..." I trailed off, my voice being swept away by the thoughts of one of my fellow workers being missing. It could even be hide who is missing! Oh, god I hope not. I...I took a deep breath and began again "W-who is... Who is missing? Is it hide? Is it yoshimura? Is it your best friend? Who is missing Touka!" I began to raise my voice, slightly and unintentionally scaring hinami a bit. Touka sucked in some air.
"Kaneki is missing."
"I'm sorry, what?"
Me and my evil butt chopping the chapter in half xD. I'm sorry guys, but! This means more chapters! Wooh! Are ya proud of me, senpai? *sigh* heh. God, I'm cringe-y. Anyways! See ya in the next chapter.
