He blurrily saw the white and black tiled floor. His eyes were losing their focus as the pain on his hands and feet jumped back. He grasped onto that moment, when his body felt numb, when everything was serene, only to experience the agony once more a few seconds later. Kaneki sat on his chair, his fingers slowly growing back from the bloody mess, without the slightest consciousness about how long it has been since Yamori left.

It had been probably an hour, but it felt like an eternity of suffering.

With a squeak, Kaneki could hear the door open. However, he didn't hear the usual heavy, and thumping steps after. Instead, they were light and rapid steps, like those of a child. A purple cape, with bandaged legs and feet made its way into his sight.

"Poor Kaneki-kun." A soft voice rang into his ears.

"Yamori always does this. He needs to treat our guests with more care." Kaneki felt small and delicate hands lift his chin up. A bandaged face, with one right kakugan stared back at him. Right into his left. Kaneki gasped a little.

Another one-eyed ghoul.

Kaneki felt an unnatural aura from this girl. Unnatural and overwhelming.

"Especially, our special guest." A smirk now appeared on her lips.

Kaneki shuddered at hearing that. Fear rose inside of him. Suddenly, a grotesque kagune shot out from her back, and cut the ropes that was constraining Kaneki to this chair. Then, the bandaged girl grabbed his hand, and pulled him up. Kaneki almost tumbled over as the girl pulled him towards the entrance.

Kaneki felt the blood suddenly rush into his legs, and the pain on his toes intensified with each step.

Is this person going to save him? Kaneki's heartbeat increased as the girl took him closer and closer to the door.

He felt the cool air of the hallway blow against his face as he left the huge room. He was finally free. His eyes finally opened completely. To stare into Yamori's towering figure.

Kaneki's face turned desperate as he attempted to escape the girl's grasp to get away from his torturer. However, the girl had an iron grip that didn't allow Kaneki to run away.

"What are you doing? He is my prisoner." Yamori growled as he saw his own leader lead Kaneki out of the room. Although he wore a mask one could clearly tell he was furious.

"You dare question my intentions?" The girl asked with a small smile. Kaneki shivered as he realized the situation. This girl was obviously Yamori's superior.

"He is MY prisoner! You can't take him away from me!" Yamori shouted demandingly, his eyes bulging with red veins. He cracked his knuckles in a lustful manner.

The bandaged girl slowly released Kaneki, and walked up to Yamori. She barely reached Yamori's chest. Kaneki slowly backed away, watching the development.

"Yamori, Kaneki-kun is a special guest. He is my pet. You harmed my pet. There is no good end for you." Kaneki couldn't see her face, but he knew the girl was mocking the huge figure before him.

Before Yamori could even release his kagune, the girl appeared in front of his chest so fast that it was uncatchable with the naked eye. It seemed as if she teleported there. Then, her fist went into Yamori's stomach with the speed of lightning, and Yamori doubled over coughed out blood over her head.

His bulged eye slowly relaxed, and he fell to the ground with a pile of blood on his face lifelessly as the girl retracted her fist. Her bandaged hand was a dark red.

Kaneki gazed with shock at what happened. Yamori, who easily knocked down every ghoul in Anteiku, was killed instantly by this small girl that stood before him. She didn't even draw her kagune.

Kaneki then looked at Yamori's lifeless body. His tormenter is dead.

The girl turned around towards him with a sadistic smile, and grabbed his hand. She ran like a child through the hallways. Kaneki's feet trampled along as if they didn't belong to him.

Soon, they were out of the building.

The bandaged girl then scrutinized him with one kakugan flaring.

"Don't be scared, Kaneki-kun. I am here to save you." She giggled a little as she came up to Kaneki, her head under his chin, and hugged his waist with her arms. Kaneki felt goosebumps on his skin as the delicate arms of Yamori's killer embraced his body.

Then, he felt a huge, organic being surround himself and the girl.

There appeared to be a single opening to see the outside from this warm creature. He felt tranquil inside her hug. He felt the certainty under the protection of someone so powerful. She saved him. She saved him from Yamori's finger-snapping wrench. However, thousands of questions still dazzled him. Who is she? What does she want from him? What did she mean by him being her pet?

Anteiku! Where is she taking him? He needs to see Touka, and Hinami, and the manager, and Nishiki, and...

His thoughts were interrupted as he felt them leave ground with the huge creature, and fly towards an unknown direction for an unknown period of time. The girl still had her arms around him. He drifted away a little until he felt the giant creature land on the ground.

Everything felt dizzy as the girl took his hands and enter a small building. His eyes gazed at his own feet. His toes were completely grown back, but his nails were covered in dry blood, making them a black color.

A door opened at the end of the hallway, and the girl led him into pitch black room.

"Ahh... Kaneki-kun. You are going to love it here. I will care for you, and you will remain mine alone. Mine alone." The girl said in a singsong voice as her hand caressed Kaneki's cheek. Kaneki flushed a little at the touch of a female, and looked down at her with dreamy eyes.

The girl lowered her arm and skipped towards the entrance. Kaneki watched her figure slowly grow smaller, until he finally got the courage to ask: "Miss... What is your name?"

The purple cape stopped at the door, and she turned around with her right kakugan flaring.

"Eto. I'm Eto." She smiled a cruel smile and slowly closed the door, as the last light from the hallway disappeared from Kaneki's door.

He was left alone in the darkness.
