"Kiori!"
She turned around to see Iyoro grinning at her.
"Hm?"
"I got some cake," Iyoro grinned, holding up a small slice of cake.
Kiori sighed and nodded. "But I don't feel like eating...you can have....Iyoro...?"
"What's....wrong?" Iyoro smiled as he seemingly flashed for a few seconds.
Kiori's eyes widened as blood stains and wounds slowly formed on Iyoro.
He looked up with a smile.
"You can't run."
"Iyoro!" she screamed as his neck snapped.
"You can't save anyone."
Flinching as she woke up in pants, she glanced around to find herself lying against a tree.
"It's okay....just a dream...." she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
'I can't.....save anyone.'
"Oi. Kiori."
She turned back to see Ayato looking away from her. "Y-You okay?"
"Ayato, are you..." Kiori smiled slightly in amusement. "...blushing?"
"NO!" Ayato screamed, glaring at her only for his cheeks to turn a bright pink. He cleared his throat. "J-Just...letting you know. W-We aren't s-searching the mountains again."
"Why tho-" Kiori blinked. "Oh....the traps right?"
"Yeaah....i-if there are traps then someone must be living in that mountain so uh, yeah," Ayato nodded.
"O....kay," Kiori nodded slowly.
"Uumm....I'lll be going," Ayato took in a deep breath before bowing and disappearing.
".........What the hell?"
"Stay away from big brother!"
The little girl held a knife, pointing it at the men in front of her. "I-If you come any further, I'll kill you!"
"That's enough...." A boy only around the age of 12 patted the girl's shoulder.
"B-Big brother...." The girl stammered.
"What can you do with a knife?" The boy asked with a frown.
"N-Nothing...." The girl muttered quietly before putting her knife down.
"So it's you, huh, brat? You killed one of our men!?" The man pulled the boy up by his collar.
"One?" The boy asked. "Go get a maths teacher, cause I'm sure I killed all of them at your base."
His eyes shone red as his kagune crawled out of his back. "...And you're next."
Lips quivering at the brutal scene in front of her, the girl dropped on her butt, shivering.
As the boy killed the last of the men standing, he glanced back at her. "Let's go."
"W-Why?"
He paused in his steps and turned around to look at her.
"W-Why...do you have to kill?"
"You said you'll do anything for your big brother, right?"
The girl nodded slowly.
"Start by not questioning anything i do."
"Y-Yes...big brother."
Tasumi's eyes cracked open.
Yawning, she stretched and looked around. 'That guy...'
"When you get back to your base.....please don't tell anyone you saw me."
'Kind of...reminds me of big brother...'
"Say...where's Kurayami?"
"Oh, Kiori is outside on a food hunt," Touka answered.
'Again? I'm pretty sure she went yesterday and the day before,' Miyo's eye twitched. 'I haven't seen her since I woke up.'
"My turn is tomorrow, right?" Miyo asked.
"Yeah," Touka answered. "I think so. I'm not sure."
"Kay..." Miyo muttered, staring at the skies.
"......That Kurayami jerk."
'I wonder how Miyo is doing...' Kiori thought as she walked through the streets with Tasumi.
"Say, Kurayami-san," Tasumi said.
"Kiori will do," Kiori smiled.
"Um, well, Kiori, why haven't you visited Miyo yet?"
Kiori flinched.
'SHE NOTICED!'
"I just feel....bad I guess," Kiori muttered. "She was there wounded and I did nothing but stare."
".....Oh," Tasumi muttered. "It.....feels terrible."
Kiori looked up at her.
"They die in front of you and you couldn't do anything," Tasumi clenched her fists. "So......weak."
KIori's eyes widened.
Tasumi flinched. "W-Wait, Kurayami-san, i-it wasn't what I meant- You're very strong-"
"Weak?" Kiori chuckled. "I guess so."
"K-Kurayami-san...."
"Kiori!"
Tasumi and Kiori turned around to see Ayato running towards them.
"K-Kirishima-san? What are you doing here?" Tasumi asked.
Ayato sighed. "Banjo.....was killed."
Their eyes widened.
Kiori's eyes darted around as she entered their temporary 'base'.
Touka was comforting a few kids who were crying.
Beside her was.....
....Irimi..?
"I-Irimi-san?"
Irimi looked up to see Kiori. "Kiori."
"H-How?" Kiori asked, surprised.
"I was travelling with Koma....we were trying to find you guys and when we got here...."
"Where's...the half ass?" Kiori asked.
"He's by the river."
"And....Hinami....?"
"She's with Ichimi and Jiro," Touka answered. "She....did spend a lot of time with Banjo back then...."
Kiori clenched her fists and nodded before nodding and walking out of the tent.
He was standing in the middle of the river.
Crushing pebbles as he stared at the skies.
Kiori stared at the trees that were ripped in half, obviously his work.
"K-Kaneki."
"K....Kiori," Kaneki muttered as he turned to the girl.
"Uh...so..."
'SHIT, I CAME HERE TOTALLY UNPREPARED!'
"I'm going to find who killed him," Kaneki smiled.
"Kaneki, you can talk to me," Kiori frowned.
"No, it's fine, I'm alright," Kaneki turned back to the river.
"Kaneki you basta-" Kiori sighed shakily. "You're not."
"It's hard for everyone. I still have to stay strong. I have to protect them."
Kiori's eyes widened.
Her head beant down as she nodded. "Have it....your way."
She was about to walk away when Kaneki spoke.
"Touka is bringing the children and the wounded to a safer place along with Irimi."
"And what?"
"You should go too."
"....You think I would?"
Kaneki stared at Kiori as she slowly walked back the the base.
"When I'm done with here, I'll go to you, hm?"
"Sure," Irimi smiled slightly.
"Will the brats really be safe in their hands?" Ayato scoffed lightly.
"Mind you, my girlfriend is an S rank," Koma smirked.
"Girl...friend...?" Kiori squinted.
"E-Enji...." Irimi muttered, a blush on her cheeks.
"Yes, girlfriend," Koma smiled as he pulled Irimi into his arms.
".....Damn."
"Well, we'll be off then," Touka smiled.
Ayato glanced at Touka only to be hit in the head by her before being wrapped in a hug. "Come back alive....my stupid brother."
"Y-Yeah, whatever...." Ayato muttered.
