Sorry if the last chapter ended a bit confusing or if it lacked, I'm attempting to put certain things in specific chapters in order to keep it interesting for you guys. Even though I wish I did, I do not own Tokyo Ghoul or reader-chan. :)

Chapter 6: A Ghoul Investigator and An Author

There was a lot of commotion going on around the 20th Ward since the raid on the CCG the night before which seemed to cause a lot of panic and hysteria. However for (F/N) the news didn't seem to reach her...until the following morning. She had gotten up without the single thought of anything bad happening to her friend so she proceeded to do her usual morning schedule before school. After getting her things ready her head perked up at the sound of knocking at her front door, secretly hoping it was her friend Kaneki. The knocking intensified before she could answer the door so she shouted that she would be right there.

'Geez such impatience!'

(F/N) quietly muttered to herself as she felt around for the doorknob and opened the door once she found it.

"Hello? Can I help you with anything?"

"Ma'am, I'm with the CCG. And I regret to inform you of your parents' death...they died last night in the raid, so I'm here to retrieve you and relocate you to a safer place. That is what they wanted for you so please stay calm and hear the rest out."

It seemed as though everything came crashing down on (F/N), she didn't know what to say to the investigator as he continued to speak.

"I know this will be difficult for you, but from here on out your parents last request was that you stay with Rank 1 Investigator Arima Kishou. You will no longer be going to school, instead, you will be homeschooled at your new residence. Do you understand?"

All she could do was nod and blankly stare at where she assumed the man to be standing outside her door. (F/N) was struggling with the fact that she would no longer be living the life of a normal student that she yearned for, but would feel trapped in a bubble world instead. This also meant that she would likely never meet her friend Kaneki ever again or Hide for that matter. Although the (H/C) girl was glad she would live with someone she grew up around, the man still gave her chills due to his intimidating aura that he emanated.

"We'll have some movers come and pack the rest of your things so that way you won't have to do it yourself. Now, come with me and I'll escort you to where Arima-san will pick you up."

(F/N) didn't want to leave her home, but knowing that she had no choice so reluctantly got her things and went with the investigator. For some reason, his aura gave off a hint of anger and sympathy, which caused her to turn and look up at where she figured his face might be.

"S-Sir, I never did ask your name...but it's alright if you don't want to tell me."

"It's not a problem, the name's Amon Koutaru. I briefly worked with your parents on a case several months back, so there's no need to be afraid of me."

The male looked down at the blind teen beside him, feeling deep empathy for what happened last night and many years ago to her eyesight. He walked the girl to the closest bookstore that Arima specified to drop her off at since that would be the easiest spot to pick her up.

"I'm afraid this is where we part Miss (L/N), Arima-san will arrive shortly so be sure to stay at this store, alright? It was nice meeting you."

The girl gave Amon a slight nod before heading into the store, adhering to what he ordered. He sighed softly and turned to head back to HQ to sort things out between him and Akira.

'I just wish there was someway to make her life better and easier...she doesn't deserve this kind of life, she's too young to have to deal with this.'

In order to keep her mind off what happened earlier, she delved into the plethora of books that she was able to read until Arima came to get her. (F/N) was oblivious to notice the large crowd that had lined up for a book signing until she heard the large commotion it made.

'It must be nice to be able to read with your eyes and not your fingers...'

It wasn't until she heard a young girl say 'Kaneki Ken' that (F/N) turned and looked in the direction of the voice. Her attention automatically caught as she walked toward where she thought the young girl might be.

'She may know something about Kaneki-kun.'

Sen Takatsuki signed the book that the little girl named Hinami before smiling and kicking her feet beneath the desk she was sitting at, knowing exactly who the book was for. She waved goodbye to her and stood up, ending up looking at a girl that stood beside the desk. Although signing was now over, her scent seemed to interest her.

"Ah, who might you be? Do you also want me to sign a book, miss?"

"N-No, I was actually going to ask that little girl if she knew about my friend Kaneki."

'So she knows him too? This must be the blind girl who's scent I got a whiff of last night...she smells amazing.' Sen mentally grinned to herself and gave the teen an actual smile.

"Well, if you must know, I may actually know him. If you meet me here tomorrow I might be able to take you to him."

The (F/N) girl seemed overjoyed at the words spoken to her as she introduced herself before bidding farewell, making sure that the unsuspecting female would hold to her word.

"Thank you! I promise to be here tomorrow Miss Takatsuki!"

After saying goodbye to Sen, (F/N) made her way outside to see if the investigator was waiting on her. She had learned from experience that the male would patiently wait for her so once she stepped outside she was met with a tall figure which seemed to be holding a suitcase. Knowing it was him from his aura, (F/N) stood a ways back and bowed to him.

"Arima-san, sorry to keep you waiting. There was an interesting book I found and I couldn't resist."

Arima did nothing but grunt as he held his arm out for the girl to take so he could guide her. Even though he seemed emotionless, he actually cared about (F/N) since she was a little girl. To him, she was like an adopted daughter and he saw her as such since her parents worked closely with him. That was the exact reason they chose him because they knew she would be safe under his protection and the both Arima and (F/N) knew that.

"U-Um, Arima-san...I want to come back to the store tomorrow, if that's alright with you."

(F/N) was hesitant to ask since she was intimidated by him, even as a young child. However he was softer than he let on to be and that gave her a glimmer of hope as she crossed her fingers.

"...As long as you be back before dark...I don't want another ghoul incident, (F/N)-chan."

"Thank you Arima-san! I promise I will, I won't let you down."

The pair walked on to Arima's residence as a certain blonde observed from a distance, continuing to ride his bike to his original destination.

'Where are you, Kaneki-kun?'

At Aogiri Tree HQ...

"S-She is...? She's safe?"

"Yes, I will be bringing her here tomorrow for you. Is that what you want Kaneki?"

"Please Eto...I can't be without her."

Kaneki was relieved to know that the girl he cared for deeply was indeed alive and well, considering he ransacked her house an hour prior. He seemed to be able to better control his kakuja urges but still struggled with his conflicting desires.

"Very well, I promise no harm will come to her."

Eto left the half-ghoul to his own devices and giggled softly down the hallway, a wide grin spread across her banadaged face.

The white-haired ghoul moaned in pain as he turned to look outside his window with a tired expression, (F/N) invading his thoughts.

"If only things were different...if (F/N) wasn't blind, she'd be happier...but what if she were like me? Would she be able to see again?"

Kaneki placed his hand on his chin, knowing he'll have to talk to Tatara about a possible surgery for (F/N).

Ayato had been listening in on the conversation between the half-breeds and was not expecting the One-Eyed Owl to gladly bring in the very human he was after. However this also meant that he had to compete with the Eyepatch Ghoul, causing him to growl and mutter angrily to himself. He hated sharing property but if it meant being able to smell and taste her everyday he didn't seem to mind.

BOOM! How was that? Hope you guys aren't too confused, I'll try to update more for the story to make more sense. Until next time!
