Isa's mind was spinning. She sensed a threat near-she didn't know what to do. Tatara.
What would happen to him? What happened to Mika?
She swiftly turned around. A flash of redness appeared in the corner of her eye before she felt a quick but a harsh throb on the side of her temple. Everything blurred for a split second before everything went back.
Tatara had to do it. He couldn't afford getting caught. He snatched her body before it fell to the ground and jumped to higher ground and lay her on the roof on a building.
He stared at the ghoul who had tried to attack him. He stood unperturbed; didn't bother to unleash his kagune or kakugan. He knew his opponent would be weak, considering the poorness of her tactics.
The other ghoul was on another building across from him. She licked her lips, panting. "Ahh…" She slurred. "You're a ghoul as well?" She smirked. "Then I'll devour both of you." She laughed, a weird, high-pitched snicker. "My little daughter played a magnificent role, ahh. Such a good girl," she snickered again, lashing her rinkaku kagune around in excitement.
Was she saying that she couldn't sense that he was a ghoul? Tatara wondered.
"You threw away your daughter's life just for a meal?" Tatara lowered his eyes in disgust. He had no time to play games with a low-ranked ghoul that was so foolish.
She gone into stance and lunged forwards, using one tentacle of her kagune as a boost of speed. Tatara saw her movements too clearly. He intended of wiping the pathetic smile of her face. He stopped her in mid-air, stabbing through her heart with his hand. Her eyes grew wide. Tatara felt all of her blood rushing up her body. He swung her away, flinging her across the rooftop before she coughed out blood. Her lifeless body laid crippled on the other side.
Tatara looked at his bloody hand before looking at Isa. What was he supposed to do now? His gaze shifted and looked at the car that crashed into another building. People were starting to run up to the car and the little girl, many of them yelling for an ambulance. No one had noticed him or the other ghoul. He cleaned the blood off his hand with his shirt and picked Isa up, disappearing into the darkness.
