Author's Note: Sorry for another short chapter, I hope the next one will be longer.
As Kaneki showed a dumbfound face, Lith began talking all at once, to the point where even she didn't understand what she was saying anymore.
"You should calm down, little girl." said Kaneki in a nervous voice. This caused Lith to explode. As Touka walked in, she saw the commotion and grabbed Lith by her shirt's collar.
"LET ME AT 'EM!" she scream in fury as she began kicking in the air. Touka dropped her and Lith tumbled to the ground. When she looked up, the entire mood had changed as they saw steam coming out of her ears.
"I am not a little girl! For your information, I'm 14!" screamed Lith as she saw Kaneki laughing.
"That's still pretty young." said Kaneki.
So then, she must be around Ayato's age, shouldn't she? Pondered Touka as she examined the little girl. She began to think how they would get along, and burst out laughing at the thought of them arguing.
"Geez, you guys are no better than him!" cried Lith as she burst out of the room and into the hallway.

As Eto watched a steaming Lith walk out of Anteiku, she began to ponder about what she could make her do for amusement. Of course, watching her interact as a subordinate was entertaining enough, but she wanted her to be in an interesting scenario. Maybe she would make her interact with humans a bit more?
It would be interesting to see how Ayato would react to her going to a middle school. Especially since he was very opposing to the idea of getting along with humans. Maybe she could even add him into one too! He was, after all, in no position to deny her authority over him and Lith.

As Lith began to walk back to Aogiri, she was stopped by a beautiful green-haired woman. Wait-GREEN-HAIRED WOMAN?!
"Eto!?" squealed Lith as she stumbled back. The sweet face she was once looking at turned shady.
"Be quiet, will you?" mumbled Eto as she placed a hand on Lith's shoulder. Lith began to break out into a cold sweat. What did she want? Was she going to break her promise and make Lith hurt someone? Was she going to "dispose" of her? What was she thinking?
"Calm down, rookie. I have a "mission" for you and Ayato." said Eto as she began to walk with Lith towards Aogiri. "I need you to infiltrate a private school. I think they have some powerful ghouls that could disrupt our goal. Could you do that for me?"
"I'm not too sure about that. After all, there are probably humans there too." replied Lith with a doubtful look.
"I didn't really mean that as a question. This is an order from a superior." roared Eto in an annoyed voice.
—
As Lith finished explaining to Ayato, he had a murderous look in his eyes.
"Tch, she's always playing with us for her amusement. I don't see the point in it. If I did that, I'd be no better than my sister." mumbled Ayato as he began pacing back and forth.
"Ne, at least we'll be together!" exclaimed Lith in an enthusiastic voice.
"That's what I'm worried about…" mumbled Ayato as he walked out the door. With was left there, wondering about what she could do to get along with her classmates. She was really excited, but also worried about what Eto was planning to make them do. After all, bot Lith and Ayato had never really been in a school before, much less a private and luxurious school. This made Lith feel faint, as she daydreamed about what it would be like.
She continued to daydream as she walked towards the Grand Hall. She was followed by whispers, snickers and taunts as she headed towards the meeting place.
—
"Geez, I thought that meeting would never end!" complained to a new subordinate of Ayato, named Banjo. He just stared at her. How could she be so carefree? He had to carry the weight of the lives of the people who lived in that ward before it was invaded by Aogiri Tree and made into their new base.
"Let's get back to the base, Lith. We need to prepare for the mission." roared Ayato.
"I'm fine. I already did anyway. I'll just go explore the forest a bit." she said in a teasing tone as she headed in the opposite direction. Abate decided to go on without his subordinate, since it was impossible to stop her when Lith put her mind to doing something.
—
As Lith began to wander through the forest, she began to hum. It was such a peaceful place where she could relax and practice her combat moves. She needed to continue learning new techniques, so she decided to read a book about martial arts. Hopefully, it would give her some useful tips on how to disable an enemy without having to hurt them. As she sat down under a large tree, she began to hear some rustling.
Lith decided to ignore it, attempting to pay attention to the descriptions in the text and the pictures of what the positions were supposed to look like. With began to hear a lot of snickers, to the point where she could no longer concentrate on her studying.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!?" roared Lith as she got up and cracked her knuckles. Silently, five ghouls came down from the trees and surrounded her. They looked a bit older than her, and definitely not very powerful, but they seemed quite confident in their abilities.
"Aw, does the little lady want to read?" teased one of the strongest looking ghouls from the whole group. The entire group burst into a fit of laughter as she turned bright red.
Lith decided that she needed to teach these bullies a lesson. She quietly approached the leader and whispered in his ear. "Little lady, huh? Then what does that make you?" Lith pulled his cheeks, just like she had done to Ayato the first time she had met him.
"Let go! That hurts!" he screamed as the rest of the group members approached him, attempting to make her let go. As she did, she attempted to use a new technique that she had read about on them.
"You shall now be my guinea pigs!" exclaimed Lith as she attempted to use pressure points on the poor ghouls. They worked successfully and paralyzed them.
"She's a monster!" they screamed as they squirmed on the ground, trying to get back up. Lith skipped away, deciding that it was probably time for her to get back to the base.
—
As Lith lied on the couch, wide awake, she continued to wonder what it would be like to enter a human school. When she finally fell asleep, she continued to toss and turn, worrying about everything that could go wrong.
"Are you alright, one-san?" asked a little boy who belonged to Banjo's group.
"Yeah, I'm just a little worried, that's all." replied Lith in a confident voice.
She turned around and went back to sleep, hoping the little boy would stop worrying and do the same.
