Chapter 8:
"Remember your training, OEG1." said as he opened a large steel door. As OEG1 walked in, she sniffed the air. Her opponents that day were five humans. They were wearing long, white coats and had quinques. They seemed to be very nervous, except for one. A petit, beige-haired woman stood in the front. Although she was shaking, she had a firm grip and looked ready to defend her teammates.
"That is adorable~" said OEG1 as she casually walked towards the brave investigator. The investigator used her purple rinkaku quinque to hit OEG1 in the stomach but failed.
"Good try! But not good enough!" stated OEG1 as she grabbed the investigator's quinque and crushed it with her bare hands. Surprised, the investigator attempted to run to safety as the other investigators cowered in the corner. OEG1 grabbed the investigator by the neck and lifted her into the air. Looking at her frightened eyes, OEG1 laughed as she squeezed and let the corpse fall.
"Who's next?" asked OEG1 as she watched the horrified doves run. OEG1 took out her Rinkaku kagune and got hold of all the investigators.
"Good night~" whispered OEG1 with a smile seconds before they fell limply to the floor, covering her in blood.

That night, OEG1 was feasting on a young ghoul when walked in.
"For tomorrow, we have a special opponent prepared. It'll most likely be easy in your case but you must not let your guard down." warned as OEG1 smirked.
"It'll be easy. After all, I'm the strongest in the entire organization!" laughed OEG1 as she ate the last part of her meal before delicately wiping her mouth with a white cloth.
"Wash this for me, will you?" said OEG1 as she threw the cloth towards and left.
"Who does he think he is, bossing me around like that." OEG1 mumbled as she headed towards the deeper parts of the 24th ward, her current home. She caught the smell of a familiar ghoul and decided to quietly follow. A blue-haired ghoul, around her age, was heading in the direction of the One-Eyed Owl's territory.
Interesting…maybe if she caught him and forced him to give her information, she would get promoted. Although she still found it suspicious that she somehow met him and didn't remember, she decided to approach him from behind.
"I know you're there, Lith." said a familiar voice. He turned around and face OEG1 with an angry look. He grabbed her by the shoulders and began to shake her.
"Where have you been, idiot! I've looked everywhere for you! Eto told me that you were most likely recaptured by V!" the ghoul said, his face looking a bit flushed. An offended OEG1 punched the strange ghoul in the face, sending him flying towards the concrete wall.
The ghoul began to cough up some blood and began to regenerate his deformed face. "What was that for?" asked the seemingly idiotic ghoul.
"I don't know you and I don't care about you. If you touch me again you won't be able to regenerate that pretty face of yours." stated OEG1 as she licked her knuckles clean of any blood left by the ghoul.
"You don't taste too bad…" mumbled OEG1 with a maniacal smile. With a hungry look in her eyes, she walked towards him but abruptly stopped when she saw his frightened face.
Why was he so familiar? He seemed to know her, but she didn't remember him. Could he be someone she knew before she "lost" her memory? had told her that her past self was too weak and friendly so he "modified" her to be tougher and less merciful. During this period, approximately one month had passed.
She felt a tear make its way down her cheek. "What's wrong with me? Why is this happening!?" screamed OEG1 as she felt a rush of sadness. Frustrated, she ran back towards V's base and never looked back, hoping she would return to normal once that pitiful creature was out of her sight.

"Remember, this is a strong opponent, so you need to stay concentrated at all times." explained as he led OEG1 down the hall and headed towards the steel door.
"Right." replied OEG1. noticed that she was distracted but decided that it wouldn't matter.
"Don't forget that this is your final exam. Depending on the result, you may be allowed to work officially outside of the 24th ward." opened the large steel door and let OEG1 pass. He gave the signal and as the door slammed shut, the chains that were restraining a ghoul were unlocked.
An SS rated ghoul with the alias "Joker" was OEG1's opponent. When Joker saw who he was supposed to be executed by, he began to laugh, very similarly to the comic-book villain he was named after.
Joker's face suddenly turned into a crazy-looking grin as he took out his incomplete kakuja and jumped, out of OEG1's range of view. Before she knew what was happening, her arm was chopped off by Joker's blade. He began to ramble nonsense as he continued to attack her.
OEG1 felt frustrated because a lowly ghoul such as him was able to hurt her enough to remove a limb. Even though she had excellent regeneration, it still annoyed her, especially the fact that it wasn't even a complete kakuja.
OEG1 realized that she needed to act serious if she wanted to defeat a strong (though she didn't want to admit it) ghoul. She revealed her own kakuja and sliced him into multiple pieces.
As she left the room, began to ask her questions. "Are you alright? You seem a bit distracted. Is there anything I could do to help you?"
"Yes. Find a male blue-haired ghoul around my age and bring him to me. You most likely know who I am referring to, as he called me by my former name, Lith." stated OEG1 as she walked in the direction of the kitchen. She had only lost an arm and already felt like she was starving.
"Do you have a specific reason, Miss?" asked as he followed the hungry ghoul.
OEG1 simply replied, "I just need to crush him myself in order to have peace of mind."

When Ayato opened his eyes, he noticed he was chained to a seat inside of a large, dark room. He didn't know how or when he got there, only that his kagune wasn't working. He began to yell, attempting to see if anyone would come.
"I see that you're awake, Ayato Kirishima. I'll go inform her." said . After "conversing" with Ayato, he left the room and headed for OEG1's occupation. A few minutes later, a steel door slammed open and OEG1 walked in. She clicked on the lights before facing Ayato.
As closed the steel door, OEG1 walked towards the confused ghoul. "Do you know why you're here?"
"Not really, Lith. You're acting really strange. Don't tell me they did something to you." he said in a plain voice.
"Well, you seem to be a problem. You see, ever since the last time I met you, I've been having crazy headaches and I can't get you out of my mind." OEG1 said.
"Are you possibly in loooooooove?" teased Ayato, unaware of the situation he was in. OEG1 took out her kagune in the shape of a blade going down her left arm. She pointed it at Ayato's neck and snickered. A few drops of blood began to drip as Ayato began to panic. He couldn't use his kagune, arms, or legs. What else could he do? It was useless.
"Don't kill me." said Ayato.
"Why would I spare you, when I've killed many more better than a ghoul like you." asked OEG1.
"Because I'm your friend?" replied Ayato, though he himself didn't know if this was true.
"You're just a pathetic ghoul." giggled OEG1 as she pushed her kagune a bit deeper. As more blood began to drip, Ayato became more aware of the fact that she wasn't going to listen to him. What had happened to the sweet ghoul he knew?
"Why won't you remember me!?" screamed Ayato as his wound almost became larger. Ayato shut his eyes tightly, hoping she would get it over with soon. OEG1 lowered her kagune as she stumbled backwards.
"What are you doing to me!?" roared OEG1 as tears began to stream down her face, just like the day before. Just as she did, there was an explosion which caused her to lose her balance. When the smoke cleared, Ayato was gone.

Author's Note: Should I add in a bit chemistry between the two (apart from the teasing)? I'm not sure how to add it since Ayato is an idiot when it comes to this (and in general ;) ).
