Warning!
This is where the Manga and the story itself take a huge turn, meaning it probably won't follow the actual manga anymore with Sasaki's side of the story because of the lack of chapters out in Tokyo Ghoul Re.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Levin POV
I got out of the passenger side door and stood with a black hoodie over my head, my mask covering my face. I held a bag on my back, the object inside I carry with care, because Uta trusted me with it.
Kurona tapped my shoulder, pointing up to an open window, lights were off inside. I nod and I get next to the building, and wait for her to get a running start.
She sprints a few yards away and steps on my hands, and I catapult her up as high as my arms could take her. The window is on the fourth floor, so she made her kagune come out and climbed the building, looking inside, and giving me the thumbs up, jumping through it.
I wait for awhile, then a rope comes down and I start to climb, carefully so I don't get rope burn. I grab the ledge, but the ice on it makes me slip, and I start to scream as I'm falling, but a red limb wraps around me, pulling me to safety.
I'm basically thrown through the window, landing on top of Kurona, who was the one who caught me. In the dark, of course I can't see, so I end up tripping a lot, by the noise, so does she.
We finally stop struggling when we hear voices outside the door to the hall. "Did you hear something?" Said a man's voice.
"Nah, your hearing things, c'mon, the auctions starting!" Said another voice excitedly.
Me and Kurona are tangled on each other, and my face is burning from embarrassment. Get a hold of yourself, where's the light? I trace my hand around the wall, and slip on the little grip I had keeping me and Kurona from actually touching.
I fall chest to chest with her, feeling her chest rub against me made me blush harder, and it didn't help that she was breathing heavily, her breath hitting my face. She smelled sort of good- No! Focus.
I trace my hand again on the wall, focusing mostly on balance. Then when it's flicked on, I'm face to face with her, her face is covered by a mask, so neither of us can see each others faces. The only reason we can feel each others breaths is because the masks have awesome filters to make sure no moisture gathers inside.
I untangle as quietly as I can, and soon were both standing again. She hugs her chest, looking away from me. "Watch where your going." She mumbled.
I scratch my head. "Don't pull so hard then." I said as I placed my ear to the door, listening for anyone outside.
Sasaki and his squad was supposed to be here tonight, and I'm here to get him. But I have a really bad feeling about this, I don't know why. I frown as I walk into the hall, Kurona at my back, watching the other end as I start walking down it towards the sound.
I lean over the side, a giant room with a spotlight in the middle, people with masks are giving some sort of speech. I squint at them, trying to see better.
The room was quite large, and looked like some sort of theater. I bite my lip by how many people are here. Sasaki won't be inside the auction, he'll come in when they start the attack.
I stand at look around, everyone is wearing masks... I don't really need to hide, I can blend with the crowd. I slowly walk through the crowd, soon ending up on a balcony next to the man I was supposed to meet inside.
"Your late, my friend." Tsukiyama said, his half mask covering his eyes.
Kurona frowns at him, not liking the idea of trusting him. I don't care what weird fascination he has with Sasaki... or in his case, Kaneki. I just need his help, if we can help each other, we'll be one step closer to taking over Aogiri and saving Touka.
I smile under my mask. "Eh, shut it. When does the auction begin?" I asked, looking down at the small group giving an introduction speech.
Each of them had weird masks on, and one was speaking. I squint at the one speaking, something about him...
"Hey, Kurona... who is that one giving the speech?" I ask, pointing.
She looks down at him and flinches, staring. She then shakes her head, is she lying to me? That's not like her... is she scared of him?
He wore a wooden like mask, a break shape on it with many eye sockets. His black hair was pulled back into a ponytail, half of his head all flattened hair.
That couldn't be-!
"Now, we give you all a special treat!" He yelled, interrupting my thoughts.
Suddenly, the floor opened up, a new floor with a girl on it soon raised, her green hair pulled in a ponytail, she was quite pretty. But not the time to focus on who's their bet, I need to-
The wooden masked man laughs. "Now, before I get further into the auction, I'll tell you something interesting!" He said to the crowd.
I squint at him. I'm certain I've heard that voice somewhere before, but who? I scratch my head, thinking. It has to be someone I talked to recently. Maybe...
"We have two surprises for you this evening! The first is... this woman, is a spy the CCG has sent after all of you!" He said, making the crowd either gasp or laugh at her attempts.
She flinched, fear coming to her eye that wasn't covered by an eye patch. She cringed at the looks she was getting, some were begging just to get a bite. Looks like their infiltration went south quick, I need to-
"And the second! We have a rare half ghoul in this party!" He announced.
I instantly freeze. Everyone in the crowd started a ruckus, looking around the crowd at everyone's masks. I should be fine, right?
"I give you a game! Let's see who can find the masked Half ghoul before he can escape this building! Whoever finds him can have the honors of feasting on him." He said calmly.
Shit! My cover was blown too! Damn! How did they find out I was coming? Who could've spilled the beans-....
...
...
Uta... you bastard! That's who the man was, his voice! It's Uta! I clench my teeth, wanting to jump down there and beat the living crap out of him. But then again, if I do that, I'll have about fifty ghouls on my ass.
I frown and think. A game, huh?
"And I'll tell you something pleasant to add for some influence for you to find him. He's the famous Crow everyone's been talking about." Announced Uta, spreading his arms out like to show off his prowess.
Everyone went bat Shit nuts. People tore each others masks off to check their eyes and kicked each other out of the way. I can't stay here, I need to get out of here! I look at Tsukiyama.
"Is there a back edit?" I ask quickly and quietly.
He thinks but shrugs calmly, he's not interested in me now, he's interested in this Kaneki guy, he doesn't give a rat's ass. Damn, Damn, Damn! My plan failed?! My plans never fail!
Damn you Uta!
I quickly set down the stairs, running past a bunch of people struggling pulling each others masks off. They don't even care about the auction anymore, they're only focusing on finding me.
I burst through a door, a voice behind me stops me.
"Wait, Levin!" Said Kurona, running over people out of her way and escaped through the door with me. We run down a few flights of stairs, our footsteps echoing across the whole floors.
We make it to a room, I don't know I'd this is an exit-
I open the door to see a gothic Loli.
Sasaki POV
"Chaos? What's happening in there?!" I yell into the mic, but they don't respond the reception is shifty here. I clench my teeth and slam my fist on the table, no way am I letting my subordinate die because of some stupid auction!
I jump out of the truck, and look at Urie and Shirazu, telling them to follow me. Shirazu seems to be nervous as we get closer, twiddling with his thumbs.
"B-But aren't we supposed to be on guard duty to make sure none of them escape?" He asks, his voice shivering from the cold.
"Well, were pushing that order aside. Mutsuki has been discovered, we are to rescue her... you ready?" I ask, looking at them with serious looks.
Urie just nods, pulling his quinque out. Shirazu squirms, then reluctantly nods also. I nod, taking out my Quinque and running down the street, them at my tail.
I won't let Anyone I care about get hurt!
