Entangled Strings

A Turn of Events

"P-please... do... n't..." The unfortunate human begged.

"No need to be afraid, Monsieur. This is a chance of a life time! You get to be part of one of the greatest meals! Ah, I'm already shuddering from the thought!" The ghoul who attacked the man shuddered in glee.

With one swift movement, the man went silent as a Kagune pierced the human's throat.

"Now let's get you ready, non?" The ghoul grinned as he took a taste of his prize. "Ah, fortissimo!

"Haaaaah!"

Touka quickly threw a punch, as her brother dodged it quickly and countered it with a kick. "Is that all you can do, aneki?!" He taunted.

The girl gritted her teeth and launched herself at her brother again. This time she used a feint kick, to trick her brother, which succeeded as her fist connected with his face, but she didn't stay with that, she quickly threw another punch and another and ended it with a kick in his stomach. The boy crashed against the wall. "Never underestimate your opponent!" She exclaimed.

Ayato stood up; kakugan activated as his sclera turned black and his pupils red. "Let's get serious now, we're done with the warm ups." An ukaku kagune sprouted from his shoulder blades; like wings, the purple/ blackish and red colours gave it a mystified appearance.

"Fine by me." His sibling answered as she also activated her kakugan and her ukaku kagune, similar to her brother's, but instead of purple it was was more black and red and hers seemed to be unequal; one was shorter than the other. Aside from that, she stood like a Phoenix, ready to attack its opponent. "Let's see how far you'll last, brat."

By the time Yomo arrived in the sewers, projectiles from the kagune were everywhere. Ayato threw a kick at his sister, who in return aimed her kick to his unguarded leg, which made him fall in the progress.

"Where's your pride from before?" Touka taunted.

Ayato gritted his teeth and got up quickly for another attack. Relying on his speed, like his sister, he quickly dodged an attack from her kagune. He jumped against the wall to reach a greater height and unleashed his kagune right in front of her. The teenager had no opportunity to escape the swarm of attacks, so she braced herself. Her brother, wasn't far from finished, he lunged towards her and swung several punches and kicks. After evading a punch from his sister, he kicked her in the stomach and send her flying against the wall.

"Never judge a book by its cover, right?"

Touka was gasping for air. Ayato had improved a lot, to which she was very proud of. But of course the stronger a ghoul would get, the higher the chance was that they'd appear on the CCG's radar. She smirked as she opened her mouth. "Look at yourself first, you're also covered in cuts and bruises. She said as she wiped the blood off her forehead.

Ayato didn't answer as he walked to his sister, both of them noticed Yomo by that time.

"Yomo-san?" How long have you been standing there?" Touka asked.

"A while..." The older ghoul answered. He glanced at the two. "You've both improved."

The two ghouls stayed quiet, waiting for Yomo to continue.

"But you're both still full of openings." He said as he took off his coat. "Let's try two vs one."

"With pleasure." Ayato smirked as he got into battle position. His kakugan shining and his kagune sprouting again from his back. Touka did the same.

"Alright, let's see how much you've improved." The older man said as he also manifested an ukaku from his back and launched himself at the two ukaku ghouls.

After some more reconnaissance Kaneki had finally decided to sit somewhere on a bench, enjoying a book of one of his favourite authors. The weather was cloudy, but it wasn't raining so he didn't mind staying outside a little longer. "It's starting to feel more like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack." He mumbled.
