"You're going to get skewered if you keep on looking at her like that." The faintly newest ghoul member of Aogiri, Kei turned to Banjou. The slightly tanned ghoul sneered, "Like you can do anything about it, Banjou."
Banjou scowled, "That's true, but I'm not a stupid ghoul who's going to get himself in a dove's ward."
A female ghoul with rich blonde hair, who joined in months before Kei asked, "What makes you say that, Banjou-san?"
The ghoul under executive Ayato's command was certainly taken aback, "You-you don't know?"
Everyone in Aogiri Tree knew that Hinami was special. Not because she was the only known duel wielding Kagune. Not because she shared a sister-like relationship with their One Eyed Queen, Eto. Not because of her refreshing gentle personality that deemed her the title, "Butterfly of Aogiri". she frankly was a ghoul with a lot of influence, even if the blossoming girl didn't know it herself. Hinami was like an unofficial executive of Aogiri albeit she was under a certain ghoul's command.
Naturally those who drew close to the girl's refreshing personality was somewhat protective- though they didn't usually express in normal ways towards the young ghoul.
So it was well known among the middle ranks of the Aogiri Tree that one did not mess with Hinami for more terrifying reasons than one.
Banjou just looked at them and said, "Just don't ogle at her, if you know what's good for you."
"Is this seat taken?" Kei asked smiling at Hinami, who looked up from her book, and she smiled brightly, "No, go right ahead."
"I'm Kei. How about you, angel?" The brunette's cheeks turned red in which Kei thought it was cute. She closed her novel and shyly replied, "Hinami."
Taking a glance at her book he asked, not really caring about the piece of shit he can't read, "Is it good?"
Hinami beamed and immediately launched into explaining what Eto's latest work was. The male ghoul listened halfheartedly while staring at her with half lidded eyes as Hinami finished and noticed the look on his face- it kind of unnerved her. "Um Kei-kun?".
He blinked before smiling, "You're so beautiful that you made me forget my pickup line."
Hinami immediately turned red as a neon sign while she tried to come up with a response, and then the atmosphere shifted into something more dark and dangerous. Kei didn't even have to look- he felt the figuratively sharp Ukaku stabbing him in the back that was about to become literal.
He was here.
Hinami's superior, Ayato Kirishima.
A ghoul that terrorized countless other ghouls by beating them relentlessly.
Hinami noting the sudden change in the mood looked up from her wringing hands and perked up in relief. "A-Ayato!"
"Is this dumbass bothering you?" His voice was laced thickly with malice and an untold promise of torture as Hinami quickly stood up, "Uh- no he just caught me by surprise! Did Banjou-san give you Eto's plans?"
The ukaku ghoul grunted in affirmation before saying while his malicious eye was still on Kei who stiffened under his gaze that promised that Yamori's torture technique would pale in comparison if the stunned Kei so much as breathed, "Eto wants to see you now. Something about an idea. We still on for tonight?"
Hinami grinned, "I'll bring the movie."
"Choose something bearable this time." Ayato scowled the memory of the horribly made horror movie the duo watched on the weekend. When Hinami left to meet up with Eto, Ayato grabbed the other ghoul by his shoulder and yanked him real close, so that his message would be thoroughly conveyed.
"You ever use those fucking pickup lines or come within a mile of Hinami- I will do more than just skewer you." Shoving Kei away from him, Ayato wandered off leaving the stupefied and slightly terrified ghoul on the ground.
Banjou found him later in a chair in the empty room. "What are you doing?"
So this is what Bando meant by the elegant Hinami's unavailability?
"Why does he do it? I mean he has no reason to!" Banjou raised a brow, "Who?"
"Kirishima!"
"No one really knows the reason why he just does, but the results are terrifying there was this one ghoul who ate like a pedophile and mistaken Hinami for a human, and," The older ghoul fought back the urge to hurl at the memory, "it didn't end to well."
Ichimi with his red hood down showing his dark hair joined the duo, "There was this one time when a ghoul about their age tried to grope her butt, Hinami- the sweet girl, pummeled the squirt immediately. That's why you'll see us around her when Ayato-san's not around. Anything catches on eyes around her, we report to him or Eto."
Jiro popped into the all males group, "What are you guys talking about?"
"Hinami and Ayato-san."
"Ah. There was this one time a ghoul wanted to exploit Hinami for her position and Eto caught wind of it, and no one had heard from him since."
Kei's head thudded against the table as the gossip slowly faded away feeling a major headache pulsing in his head.
Maybe I should transfer to a different squad….
