---"What you think I am...is lies. I am no hero."
Crimson rain fell down the female right shoulder. It was where he bit when coming close to the girl. "Thanks..." The boy lips was covered in the same red. When he pulled away, the girl hand covered her shoulder with feeling blood fall down. It was then when she felt something was different. Part of her wished she didn't save him. Other had felt no fear with saving a life.
"Now, do not save us, alright? Those agents will not give a shit if you are involved. They will just shoot you in the head." His hands lowered when he reached for the bandages seeing she had a first-aid kit. "What is your name?" His eyes looked at the girl who had sat there without running away. "A-Aki...Manami. Um.. would I be able to ask for yours?" Both her golden eyes shook, feeling the blood had leaked out just from him biting.
"I rather not say...after all, I am a top high class ghoul. The name would only make it worse and...I guess, it wouldn't matter." He grabbed some medicine that had the title of ointment. Inside he knew this would help cure her wound. "I understand. Ghouls...you all have to hide don't you?" Feeling the wound hurt some more with each passing second. Her eyes slowly blinked with looking at the boy. "Yeah...but we make it by killing your kind. Well, I am not suppose to speak much though everyone must know of the group I am in."
A group of ghouls..? Perhaps it is top secret and if I tell, be put on top of the list for murder. "This group...are you the ones who murder people?" Both his eyes lower to the ground, avoiding eye contact with Aki. "...Yes." The boy didn't want to kill. He wished not meeting the ghoul who changed him. If only, if only!
"Mister Ghoul...?"
Part of his eyes twitched, when he lifted his head two of his coal hues narrowed. "Call me...Kaneki." This girl had saved him. It the last he could do after all...she about to die if he doesn't do something. Taking her to the hospital would be stupid. If the CCG agents go to investigate. This girl would be kept on close watch. Why did she save him? If it had been Ayato he would of killed her.
"Kaneki...it nice to meet you!" Lips shifted upward when she formed a smile. It caught Kaneki off guard. Why does he feel happy? Someone accepts him? Lets him eat? NO! It all wrong. Grabbing part of his mask, slowly he zips up part of the mouth piece. "Aki...don't you get it? You can die if you help us. I know the other ghouls won't give a---" Aki shook her head when she leans closer. "I want to help you. Please...let me help, Kaneki-kun."
Lips opened slightly when he could taste her blood. It was like honey. He never tasted something delicious. From her blood it felt like food could be tasted. However, ghouls like she said have lives too. She was different in every way. Perhaps he could take her to Anteiku. They can help.
But...perhaps can explain to her about how she must stay away. "Listen...I will take you to a place. It a cafe I use to work at and you need assistance. I fear if I stay here then the others will kill you."
"You mean...a cafe for ghouls?!" His finger raised up to his lips, "Aki, you must keep this a secret. I know they will help. Probably ask how you know and where to find me. Just tell them I am...well, I guess this isn't part of my plan to be called out. Not like they don't know." Kaneki eyes looked sadden. He must of left some of his friends behind.
The boy's body moved when his back was to Aki. "Climb on." He saw her cheeks lit up a dark crimson. "We don't have time for that! Climb on before you die!" He could not cure her as he sensed Ayato will search for him. Aki can't be found out. She must stay away from her house for a while too...
Aki knew that ghouls had senses better or from his way of panic. He must of been worried for her. Using part of her strength, hands would grab the his shoulders from behind. Suddenly fingers slipped off just a bit before Kankei hands moved to grab her legs and pushed her against his body. "Hang on, Aki."
His words were calming with the blood leaking out. Feet stomped out with kicking the door down. "Do not ever return here! My group will search and I fear they will come when your home." Aki felt his body move fast across the city, he had jumped from building to building. The food he gotten has really helped him. He did know healing from the ghoul inside. Yet...why does he feel stronger? The blood...it was reacting and he could taste something that he missed.
What was it...? It been so long.
Kaneki feet landed in front of the doors where the Anteiku had been. His hand knocked on the door, looking furiously around for anyone to answer. If Touka were to answer...he couldn't face her. Perhaps he should of just dumped this girl somewhere. That wasn't in his nature but, surely he could not end up killing her.
The door opened when a tall elderly man stood with eyes staring down at Kaneki. "...Kaneki, what brings you back here? Have you tired in Aogiri?" His voice was calm with no emotion from losing him to the other group. "No, I come to have you take this girl. I want you to help her. Cure her wounds..." Aki skin looked pale when she looked to see the elderly man. His two eyes slowly closed, "Bring her inside."
Moving inside the male had walked to the back area, he gently placed Aki on the tables. "Yoshimura..." The tall adult had gotten out some medicine with string and needle. He was going to stitch her wound closed. "What is it?" Moving his hands up toward the mask, a hand raised. "Don't...it better you don't. Those CCG are looking for you to come this early. You must have bitten her. I see you changed and therefore...you have found someone important. The other ghouls do not know of her."
Raising a white eyebrow, eyes looked over to Aki. She was turning even more pale. "Forget about that! Just hurry up and cure her already. I do not want..." Yoshimura had prepared the needle when he put it into the girl left shoulder. Hearing the girl gave out a painful cry. Kaneki hands grabbed her wrist when feeling she laid on the table. Struggling against his grip when his eyes closed. "Sorry..."
The minutes went by when the elder male finished. He had looked down at Aki who was panting heavily. "Now...can she stay here a few days?" His grip on her wrists released. "I would have to explain however, this girl will have to. After all, you did leave your scent on her." Aki didn't understand anything and after being bitten. "She will forever be hunted down...we shall keep a close eye."
"Thank you..."
He turned his back to Aki, both his eyes opened when he sensed they went to Aki's house. "I was in time...Yoshimura. Do not let anyone kill her." One of his eye turned black with the pupil shading a dark red. Taking one step, his boot had stopped. "If anyone does..." Slowly his head turned to face him. "I will end their lives. I do not care what it takes. Keep this girl alive, got it?" The head on Yoshimura nodded with a smile, "Of course, Kaneki. We do not kill the humans and in her case we make a expectation."
Kaneki rushed out of the cafe when he moved quickly after the group. "What kind of man is he? He accepted her? Would he be able to trust them?" Lowering his head, he looked back one last time to see Aki had waved. His cheeks shade red a bit, he felt like he saved a human for the longest time. He thought his human side died.
I want more of her...I feel I can breathe. I don't have to worry about getting killed. This time that agent will beg for his life!
