"The meeting of the ice princess, the lonely valkyrie and the wounded beast"
Chapter 1.- An unwanted rebirth
"Who has lost hope has also lost fear"
-Arthur Schopenhauer.
What happens when you lose hope?
Perhaps one of the man's deepest worries is its future. How uncertain would he be? And I refer to the day in the morning, a year following, to the 30 years when saying future and inclusive after death. You are for it than the human being to I deliver it of his life you decide to give constant importance to drink very in account at the present time, since of that form you would depend as it would be his future, and of not giving up hope of than insofar as an attendee live conscientiously, we can have the certainty and hope that we will have an excellent future. And I do not refer myself when saying excellent grade to that we will win our lottery every day, events will continue to be good and bad, but one takes them knowing that balance will at the very end be positive and for there the favorable final result. But what does he pass when the man get to one point of break ? One where you decide to throw in the towel, where you decide to send off everything to the guy.
Exists quite a large number of explanations that they would be able to give to a definition something so complex I eat that. It is said than when a human being this deprived of hope loses everything, the spiritual moral values, the faith in the protection of God and enclosure questions itself because motive is lively. The man loses an one belonging to his trenches in front of the misfortune in this phase of weakness, as it is the hope and with her, his own reason. It would be exact to suppose than when a man this devastated may owe to him to anguish and despair what else advance you can trigger the tragedy, the attachment once the material things was exaggerated and there is not enough her of spiritual force, which once the fear was joined you distort the reality to lose them and you make somebody fall in a foggy world and gray of negative speculations, than when the mind of form would magnify the possible consequences of any inconvenient, affected situation such, than terror's prey, you lose all value, spirit of fight and you take refuge in the worst of the options: Death.
And because many people can come to make such a drastic decision?
Our way of thinking can make us sick. And one of the key ideas of the Cognitive Models that can lead to despair is the Depression, as countless scientific investigations have shown, our way of thinking can be modified in the sense of health.
Depression is definitely one of the scourges of our modern world. Some argue that it is a silent epidemic because more than half of the population will experience at some point in their life a depressive episode severe enough to require professional assistance. The problem is much more serious if we take into account lesser forms of the picture, such as, for example, Distemperia, a diagnosis characterized by a depressed but chronic state of mind. Many people spend their entire lives suffering from this disease, without ever knowing it.
Given its size, the conceptualization and treatment of Depression is one of the objectives of any psychotherapeutic system. Naturally, Behavioral Cognitive Therapy has an extensive program of treatment for Depression, whose efficacy has been clearly contrasted repeatedly in empirical studies.
And despite being a powerful ghoul, Kaneki had awakened at the end of that deceptive dream, and for that reason he could not save himself from that deadly disease and that thought of emptiness that brought despair to him and lies within him, such awakening He recalled those bad experiences that his mind unconsciously wanted to suppress in a vague attempt to deceive himself, unfortunately this revelation made him see that his life has always had a fairly tragic start and intermediate. Just remembering that his own mother mistreated him to vent his frustrations due to the leech he had as a sister.
Ever since He was a child, He never knew the true concept of love, and that is that you can ignore it, totally ignore it when all your life, from the start, all you receive are screams and blows. He always wondered what it would be like for a mother to love, how would it be to fall in love with someone, how to love that special person, procure her. And above all find happiness with it.
Maybe that's why when he met Rize, he was delighted by the kind treatment and interest that the young woman placed on him; a deal that Ken somehow wanted and ambitioned with madness. Without knowing that the young woman of kind, affectionate and above all attentive aspect; was hiding a terrible secret that ruined his life. Of course, the shy and withdrawn young man unconsciously superimposed the ideal of a woman or rather what he wanted his mother to be in reality. In fact, almost dying because of his first love, put in perspective the vision he had about the world he knew or rather he did not know.
Of course he also discovered another world in the process, a more cruel and ruthless world that Ken Kaneki somehow managed to survive.
Anteiku, it was the place than he call home.. A place where he was accepted in his new condition as Ghoul, where creatures like him tried to go unnoticed in the middle of a society that if they were neglected would hunt them until they disappear, clearly they were superior.
But normal humans had managed to have the weapons to fight them and hunt them down. CCG, was the organization that the government had created as a countermeasure for those creatures that liked anthropophagy. And his heralds ... the special investigators, those agents armed with weapons created with the flesh of the Ghoul and the only ones capable of killing them. Even so he was able to lead an almost calm and normal existence, that is why he somehow gave him the strength to protect him no matter what sacrifice he had to make.
He never imagined that his actions would have enough force to influence the world, that somehow you were looking for the compensation necessary for the young Hybrid Ghoul to pay.
That compensation called Aogiri itself Anteiku's counterpart and also where Ken Kaneki had his first awakening. The torture, humiliation and the fact that the youth believe in the desire to die did on all knowledge that his good sense matched itself breaking through his members' sick game of one . But he got the will to oppose and survive, burying the timid young man and retracted that he used to be. To give out all the cruelty and hatred that he had kept for years.
And it only takes a bad day to lose your sanity…
At that time he separated from the place he considered a home, hoping to guarantee a future, decided to go head-on and face the CCG to leave them alone, of course saying it was one thing to achieve it was another, Well clearly failure in its mission. That's when he first met him, it was the first time he saw death face to face, it was the first time I wanted to die. Arima Kishou was undoubtedly the force of nature that opposed the Ghoul, the predator that nature had prepared as executioner of those creatures that should not exist. If Kaneki was considered a monster; Then what was Arima?
He never knew the answer, or why he allowed him to live like Haise Sasaki.
Those two words were the name of a lie, of which the one-eyed ghoul considered truth; his "true self" slept soundly in his mind, but it was not a bad life at all, he had new friends and subordinates; a stable job and especially two figures that could be called "parents". It was a beautiful lie if they asked him now, a role that enjoyed at the time, despite the fact that after that new mask he wore, he had to commit atrocious acts against those who were once the friends and allies of Ken Kaneki.
Every battle that he waged on behalf of CCG, every life that he took off as "Haise", helped to break the bonds of containing the sleeping beast that he really was, but when he finally saw the light of day ... he had realized of the damage he had caused and knew in advance that every act he had done so far had been a mistake.
There was no going back in the chain of errors and lies he had made regarding his situation as an investigator, he only had to find a way to amend the situation in some way. It was time to put on the scale that was important to him, names like Kuki Urie, Saiko Yonebayashi, Tooru Mutsuki and Ginshi Shirazu appeared in his mind. Names that should not have a weight in comparison to those that he valued in his past but that eventually led him to commit a completely risky action.
It was then that he set the stage for his last act as Haise Sasaki and return to the world as Ken Kaneki. In order to redeem himself, he had to capture Eto and free that sweet girl named Hinami. Once those two goals were fulfilled, he felt that his work was over, so there was no point in remaining alive, he had nothing to do in this cruel world.
Maybe life was responsible for snatching many things, but at the end he would act like a complete egoist without caring about the consequences of his decision, because he only had one objective in mind.
Could he afford to have a death with style?
He did not know and did not care, it no longer made sense to stay alive and for the first time in all his pathetic life he could afford to comply with his whim. He had decided, the day of his death would be today.
Now, at this very moment, he saw something different. He put himself in Amon's place, and thought he understood a little better the motive that pushed him to make this decision, having another option available.
―You're a complete idiot! ―a voice echoed in his mind rebuking him of his actions.
Yes, maybe Touka was absolutely right. He had to admit it was good to know her, with her virtues, defects and those outbursts of aggression, but he regretted having abandoned Her when she needed it most. In short, she was right. After all, he was just a selfish bastard who hides behind the skirts of a tragic hero wanting to gain more power under the pretext of protecting others and ironically once again he was going to abandon her.
(Listen Honeythief from Halou)
Sometimes I doubt the path I chose
Sometimes my dreams feel all on hold
There's no doubt that this will make me strong
Because it's the hardest thing I've ever done
―This brings me back memories, Arima-san ―Kaneki's voice sounded quiet despite being facing perhaps death itself.
The investigator known as "the shinigami" He stared at him stoically as he watched as his disciple took off his black jacket, revealing his marked muscles.
―You cheated me completely, you turned me into a complete stranger and thanks to you I lived these last two years in a vile and stupid lie. ―Continued the former investigator speaking with extreme parsimony while removing his glasses ―.But in spite of that I don't keep any hatred or resentment...
Arima remained silent before the claims of his former disciple and undoubtedly his "son", the animosity between them was similar, on the one hand Ken did not want this battle, it was a feeling that had only surfaced when he first faced Amon, of course in those moments he had another way of thinking, somehow he wanted to remain "human" in the eyes of others, but this time it was completely different in every way.
Despite this cruel world
And all my best efforts
You surprise me with just how perfect you are
He shared a bond with the person he would fight to death for the second time, "Haise" somehow still continued inside him, there were memories of when he wore that mask that the "Shinigami of the CCG" had given him.
But he remembered the most important thing that Kishou Arima had taught him, never talk to the Ghoul and he would do the same to him, maybe it was the best idea to bear the burden of this fight.
He couldn't hide a brief smile, at least he knew one thing, that Hinami and Touka would be safe.
With that thought, soon his kakugan manifested in his left eye, six limbs appeared on his lower back, Arima looked undaunted that transformation, a let of disappointment appeared in his features, secured the portfolio in his hands, slightly adjusted his glasses as if the threat to him were as dangerous as it would be every day, the briefcase gave way to his quinque, a weapon that Ken knew perfectly well since it was once his weapon. The edge of "Narukami" and "IXA" was threatening in the hands of the GCC Reaper, an aura of death that promised suffering and torture.
This was final and definitive proof that his teacher and father had put on Him.
Even with all my flaws
And my bad examples
You surprise me with
Just how perfect you are
Lightly curving the one-eyed Ghoul he prepared to lash out with his six limbs, which pointed menacingly towards Arima Kishou, who imitated the action with his quinque, waited a moment to unleash his fury, making the foundation of the fortress shake. Cochlea He shortened the distance between them. His rinkakus tried to cut the investigator's flesh with ferocity and brutality, only to be stopped by the edge of Arima's five-year-old, Ken was not surprised by his mentor's strong defense, he decided to vary his attacks with the experience gained with his practices that he held with both Arima and Akira Mado. Two of his rinkakus were secured on the bars of the protection of that bridge to simply make the young man fly through the air while the other four extremities hardened in extreme as if they were spears, thanks to the acceleration of their tentacles, they stuck into the metal, but unfortunately its previous prey that movement away from quickly, at a distance that the Reaper had created was traveled by the same man.
Kaneki was surprised and especially overwhelmed by Arima's imminent response, the researcher kept a calm expression, which his disciple decided to imitate, but his features tensed betraying him. The rinkakus gave several lashes to try to hurt the researcher, the edge of Narukami moved at breakneck speed rejecting every blow that the hybrid tried to give without success, the difference between the two was quite clear. Ken knew he had the best hand, thanks to the evolution of his power, because he had cannibalized Eto, but Arima continued to defend himself without much effort. Dancing through them, piercing the impenetrable defense that they must have been, but which the investigator drilled with inhuman tranquility.
The monster that Ken Kaneki must have been in those moments showed more humanity than the human named Arima with his abilities that made him a monster.
And when I'm lost
You search for me
And when I doubt
You're my belief
The black reaper gave up on his attack, He weigh his opportunities have in favor. The only way to have a chance to win was to use all his power to surpass the monster that was Kishou Arima, but he did not know how much advantage he would give against his mentor, he sighed trying to clear his mind, the black of his extra limbs mixed with the shadow that generated that section of the fortress, giving a sense of threat, soon they began to shake violently, signal that the next attack will be devastating. The CCG harvester kept the grip on his quinque, Narukami's edge sparked slight sparks. Soon both were launched face to face destroying the bridge where they fought.
…
Irony, that was the thought of the one-eyed Ghoul as he looked around him, at the lowest point of Cochlea, there was a field of flowers, the same stage where he defeated him last time, his body was really battered and hard He could be considered human, a term he found unpleasant in his mouth.
He does not have arms nor legs; he knew that his mentor was a kind of Methodist person who knew how to overcome his opponents with his strength, but somehow he did not feel hatred coming from him, in fact a feeling of nostalgia though Ken's heart, while silently the Shinigami He approached until he was standing in front of him.
His face was impassive and stoic as if that act had not been important, but the sadness was slightly in the eyes of the white-haired investigator.
Arima had also suffered minor injuries. To tell the truth, it was the first time that a ghoul had hurt him that way, a part of the researcher felt pride for the little one that his disciple had achieved in those two years they were together. He raised his quinque slightly to try to eliminate what was perhaps his only mistake.
I'm suppose to be
The stronger one
You always seem
To prove that theory wrong
―Arima-san! ―A subject broke into the place, entering as desperate to the main square and advancing to the wounded investigator with urgency.
―What do you want? ―The investigator did not turn around keeping his attention on the dying ghoul that was lying in front of his feet.
―A group of strangers is attacking us! He informed her in alarm and panic―. We must go, Mr. Arima!
There were no further explanations, a part of the facilities exploded completely in front of his eyes, shattering his supposedly indestructible material. The fortress began to freeze. As the invasion of the ghoul in the base in which it was had been in charge of decimating the majority of the investigators, there was no one who could counteract that group that had been entering.
―You have to get out of here! we must defend the other prison. ―The man did not think twice, took the CCG's blinding arm and started running towards the central escape area where a GCC helicopter was waiting for them.
Kaneki looked from the ground panic in all and the huge flames rising with their orange and red colors everywhere, the CCG agents fall one by one in front of him and the survivors running from one side to another without knowing what do. But among all the things he could sniff, he detect the scent of a boy about 17 years old, one who came out of the fire completely unharmed, wearing a dark jacket and brown hair, and on his right arm lay a metallic red glove with A green sphere in the center of her hand, he did not know who it was, but there was something on her face that made her too familiar.
―Here is a wounded! ―The boy shouted, going quickly to the body on the floor―. Kiba, Koneko-chan, follow those bastards and do not let them escape! ―He indicated his friends, who, not very convinced, nodded and flew quickly after Arima and his men.
Still, I hold my breath each time you go
Out in the world that's beyond my control
If you are dreaming
I never want to wake you up
―Oh fuck! ―The brunette Boy knelt beside Kaneki, watching him with panic and disturbance. Kaneki managed to cough a little and then Issei noticed that the boy who was lying in that field of flowers, was only the torso since the limbs had been cut. Resist, resist friend you'll be fine! - He promised, looking from one side to another without knowing what to do, squeezing his jaw tightly before the gloomy panorama that showed before his eyes.
―H ... Hide? ―Kaneki spoke forcibly, drawing the attention of the young brunette.
―Hide? Who is ... ―Issei did not finish asking his question as Kaneki vomited blood again, recovering from that puff that had left him more of his crimson vital liquid, he took another breath, did not know how much longer his life would reach.
―The ... king ... of ... an ... eye ... ―He coughed, dirtying Issei's arm with the blood that spilled between his lips, but this only held him in his head harder. Issei was totally disoriented, that boy was suffering a lot and even with the twilight healing of Asia could not save him.
―The king?! What are you talking about?! ―Issei asked for more information, and Kaneki, forced to stay alive.
When I'm all in a spin
Full of cynicism
You remind me of just how perfect you are
―Aogiri ... the king. ―The former investigator looked at nothing, while his body began to convulse violently.
―Don't talk ... ―He said with a look full of pity mixed with confusion and shock, looking at one of his friends and calling her to help Kaneki who felt his death very close.
―Don't leave… the king… alive... please ... ―He prayed, looking at those empty eyes in the figure of Issei
―Stay calm ... I'll take care I promise ... ―He answered softly, also looking at Asia who was shed tears for the heartbreaking scene. She knew that the boy was going to die, but somehow she clung to a vague hope for helping him, she did not know why she was doing it, but what she did know was that she was only fooling herself.
―Issei-san. ―The former nun spoke with a barely audible tone of voice, Issei understood well, took both hands of the young blonde and low slowly stopping the magic of Asia in the process, the only thing they could do for the young man, was to accompany him in his last minutes of life.
However, Kaneki playing the agony, found in that voice and personality of the chestnut tree the face of who was similar, the only person who had saved him from his solitude, the only one who dared to speak to him just when no other child did, the only light that had appeared in that world full of shit, and without more mentioning it confused between their delusions.
―H ... Hide, don't go. ―Issei frowned more on hearing that name, it was clear by the lost look lacking in sanity and the anxious voice indicated that this person was very important for that boy.
The red emperor bowed and took her head very delicately holding her firmly
―I'm here. Don't Worry.
―I miss you. ―Issei feeling a lump in the throat when the young man's empty eyes looked at him with affection, without any other choice nodded matching a bitter smile. Asia definitely cried because of the delirium of the black haired also the situation was too tragic for her. Wanting to appear mature and able to control the situation the Sekiryuutei giving a squeeze to the body of Kaneki to comfort him, and he began to cry heavily despite not having eyes, full of feelings of nostalgia and guilt that had dragged down for years, by the repentance, for looking once more at that face that he left to die many years ago. Forgive me ... for leaving you alone. She let go between a pair of dry, cracked lips, shedding tears that paraded endlessly to mention those words she never had the courage to say.
―Don't worry, my friend everything is fine, everything is fine ... ―Issei replied to calm him with a barely audible voice as if he were that person, doing just in time, because Kaneki took a last breath a second later, finally the tears stopped, like his pulse.
―He does not breathe! ―it was the bitter confirmation that the carrier of the Twilight Healing user.
The time passed and the priestess continued obstinate in the unsuccessful resuscitation, until a warm hand settled firmly on her shoulder. He raised his head and looked at Issei, who denied him with his eyes closed and his face broken into sadness. The will of Asia faltered, completely and despite knowing perfectly the things that would contemplate now being a demon this death left him a particular distaste and was unable to contain several tears of pain. It killed the impotence and anxiety.
When I'm at my wit's end
And I'm losing my head
You remind me of just how lucky I am
―Issei! ―Rias finally arrived with Rossweisse and Sona to help him, but the latter denied, indicating that there was nothing else to do, the boy was dead. He dropped his body gently on the ground, standing up and looking with pure hatred at the firmament.
―DAMN BASTARDS! - He shouted enraged, was about to release his balance Breaker and shoot off in the direction of the takeoff area, however the delicate hand of Rias prevented him. With no other choice and watching in frustration, he watched the aircraft rise in the air.
―Hey ... ―A small seven-year-old Hide, dressed in a shorts and a yellow shirt with black, approached blushing and nervous on the edge of a playground in the middle of a beautiful sunset, he dared to ask―. You are that child who is always reading books at school, right?
The question took the small Kaneki off guard, who abandoned his relaxed posture and under his book at once. He looked at him nervously, maybe he was another child who would also bother him.
―Is this W-wrong? ―Hide smiled at him, reassuring the shy boy a little.
―I didn't mean that. ―The boy quickly sat down next to him. ―I moved here recently so I don't have friends, would you like to be my friend?
The boy was nervous, they had never asked him that before, usually in his school he was bothered by other children bigger than him, each day that passed they always found a way to humiliate the little Kaneki, either by throwing his books into the toilet or humiliating him in front of all children in ways commonly used by school abusers.
―Etto. O-Ok ―The little Ken showed a bit of embarrassment at the request but could not hide his joy
―Great! ―Hideohi could not help but smile a smile of joy, so much so that the effusive young man took one of his hands as he presented himself formally.
―My name is Hideoshi, Hideoshi Nagachika, and what is yours?
―K-kaneki. Ken Kaneki ―The boy once again smiled at him as they both shook their hands forming a very strong bond of friendship.
―Hey Kaneki ... What would you do if they gave you a second chance? ―Hide did a strange question taking a major Ken Kaneki by surprise
The light was too bothersome, so much that it took him a while to open his eyelids, the air returned to his lungs. The forces began to return to their being. ―Would you take it? We all deserve a second chance.
Kaneki's vision was clearing. He had regained consciousness, when he finally opened his eyes:
―Awake. ―A feminine but imposing voice was heard in his head,
A delicate light began to illuminate this place full of darkness, he opened one of his eyelids heavily only to contemplate the brilliant dust that was materializing in front of him, Kaneki believed that it was some idiocy or some very strange dream, but that was when he could really check that all that bad time that happened was real.
―Awake. ―Once again the female voice insisted...
When he finally opened his eyes he could see a beautiful young woman, apparently of the same age as Hinami, with short black hair and violet eyes. She wears a pair of red glasses and the distinctive school uniform of the Kuoh Academy girls. That caused surprise in the young ghoul, due to the fact that this school was almost on the other side of Japan.
―Welcome to the world of the living. - The girl said in a solemn voice. ―Ken Kaneki.
Kaneki tried to weigh again and again what was going on around him, he was supposed to be in the deepest reaches of hell, he was supposed to have finally obtained the peace he so desperately wanted, and in fact that was his damned plan since he recovered your memories, but then.
* Why the hell I'm still alive? *
―Who the fuck are you? ―He ask without the slightest touch in his tone of voice―. What do I do here?
The girl did not do anything, just watched completely her new Rook, she had witnessed all the fuss that had happened in the facilities of the CCG, obviously knew who he was, what kind of creature he was and especially why they nicknamed him the black reaper. Classes were about to end as normally happens on any normal day. They both stared at each other trying to decipher everything with their eyes, lasting more than 5 minutes until someone decided to give in. Adjusting a little the glasses finally the girl decided to talk.
―You should not talk to your mistress like that. ―There was a tone of annoyance in the voice of the young lady in front of Ken ―Did not they teach you manners?
―Mistress? ―Kaneki thought it was a kind of cheap joke and without grace, so without thinking twice he got up from the desk and went to the exit, stopped a moment trying to understand what was happening ―I don't know what you mean with "Mistress"... ―the ghoul looked sideways ―At least you should introduce yourself -
―Sorry, my mistake ―the girl blushed because of the small slip she had had ―My name is Sona Sitri ... And I am your new mistress
―Sitri? Like the demon? - the black haired was cautious before those words – Jeez, I found a crazy girl with 8th grade syndrome ... at least you decided to use something smart ―Sona opened her eyes slightly at the obvious insult of the ghoul ―Good for you for reading the Ars Goetia.
The young researcher lightly ignored the young girl while checking his body, noticed that his clothes had been changed, logically he did not wear the rags that had become his combat suit, wore a long shirt and black dress pants, shoes blacks
Ken noticed the quality of the clothes, one of the few things that Arima had taught him other than how to fight ghoul efficiently was to choose the appropriate clothes for a researcher of the CCG, so he knew that what clothes were quite expensive.
The surprise in the eyes of the former investigator did not wait, suspended in the air, with a bright pale blue, he notice as a strange symbol prevented his exit from that room, took a step back bringing one of his hands to the head, had the same bitter feeling of when he knew that he had been converted into Ghoul short of his will, of course, this time he was a completely different person but now the situation was different. He felt anger begin to fill his thoughts, a look of contempt came from both his eyes, slowly his left eye began to change color, the sclera completely blackened and the iris turned a bright red.
―I don't know what the fuck you are doing but stop. ―Kaneki watched Sona with her kakugan, after all when committing cannibalism and eating Eto's breastplate this he had developed a more chilling kakugan as well as perfecting his kakuja in a really monstrous way―. I warn you, my patience runs out.
―You will not go anywhere. He replied monotonously―. We need to talk.
Kaneki observed the president of the student council with a look full of disbelief and sarcasm.
―Talk? ―He ask once more with that acid and emotionless voice. ―I do not have anything to talk about with you.
―You're wrong, we have a lot to talk about ―Sona crossed her arms maintaining her position of superiority.
The black reaper watched as the members of the student council appeared one by one, despite everything he could see a glimmer of fear in the eyes of those present, especially of the female members, who maintained a fairly prudent distance, including the vise president was somewhat overwhelmed by the imposing presence of the new member. The ghoul sent a contemptuous look to those present and undoubtedly the room was covered with a scent familiar enough for him. They were not ghouls, but neither were they human, he did not know what kind of creature they were and he understood why he could not leave the classroom.
―I will not repeat it ... let me go ―Ken's voice was quite threatening
―It's something I cannot afford―The girl was calm before the danger that denoted her new acquisition ―You're confused and it's my duty as your mistress ―She walked quietly to a desk that was in front of her to sit on it ―clear up some doubts.
The ghoul relaxed his posture slightly, the rest of the newcomers imitated the action but without stopping staring at the dark haired man who kept attentive to his surroundings, Sona crossed his legs giving him an air of arrogance and a smile that denoted his status in front of him. Young, that kind of behavior was twitching Kaneki's nerves, it was not because of the obvious lack of respect he had with him, but physically it was reminding him of the Touka two years ago. Released a snort of exasperation, and began to compare that young disrespectful with his old friend.
―At least Touka had bigger ones ―A sarcastic comment came out of the hybrid's lip.
―I'm going to pretend I don't hear that ―Sona blushed slightly understanding what her new servant was referring to ―The first thing I'll tell you is that you died.
I do not hear that - Sona blushed slightly understanding what her new servant was referring to - The first thing I'll tell you is that you died
That last revelation made Ken lose his balance slightly, he clutched his head tightly, several flashes of memories flooded his mind at that moment, his breathing stirred and his eyes trembled at the anxiety of which he was being prey, I look at his arms and legs, undoubtedly had been regenerated, but even with his abilities as Ghoul that would take time, maybe a couple of days, a laugh started to come out of his throat, maybe he was in the underworld and this was his personal hell. Kaneki's laughter made the young people around him tense at the reaction of his new partner, not many reacted in that way, an example were Issei and Asia who took the situation more naturally.
―I see ―the ghoul recovered the posture while his breathing normalized ―.then I am in hell ... and imagine that it would be a school
―First I said that you died ―Sona continued serene before the ex-researcher's rebuff ―So, I never said you were dead.
―What do you mean? ―The dark haired man stared at the young woman sitting at the desk ―What you revived me? ... Come on, don't tease me ―the young man smiled a smile full of irony
―it's the pure true ... Ken Kaneki ―again the smile on Sona's face made its appearance ―I did it because I saw your potential as my servant.
Tension and temperature changed drastically around the figure of Ken Kaneki, soon the smile on his face was completely erased, I walk slowly to where Sona was sitting, forgetting all the delicacy in his person I take from the neck of the uniform to which she had to be his savior, the rest of the young people tensed prepared to attack the Ghoul, but a simple glance of the young woman in glasses made them desist from any action.
―Your servant huh? ―The ghoul looked with spite to the violet eyes of Sona ―.Do you think you are a person of the nobility? Or are you trying to make fun of me?
―I don't think I'm someone of the nobility ... I am ―again the superiority in the words of the young woman made an appearance ―I am the heiress of the noble house Sitri, one of the 72 founding families of the underworld, and a high class demon.
―SHORT WITH THE CHUUNIBYOU ACT! ―the black haired was upset by the words of the young woman ―THE DEMONS DON'T EXIST!
―Really? ―Sona tilted her head while smiling charmingly ―How do you explain the barrier that does not let you go? ―both held their eyes one against the other ―Or think you say it is CCG technology ... ―the arrogance in the voice of the Sitri continued to bother the hybrid ―or maybe you think that this is a kagune.
From the young woman's lower back sprouted two black bat wings, a slight spurt of surprise and the sudden appearance of that extra limb made her release the girl, she took a few steps back, and soon noticed that the rest of the youngsters were at her side. around imitates the action of Sona Sitri, Kaneki dropped to the ground, visibly disturbed by the sick situation in which he was involved, did not compare at all when Touka kindly made him see the reality of their situation or somehow the same blockade your reactions in those moments.
―As I told you before ―Sona fixed her uniform as she approached the disturbed young man ―, you died a few hours ago, your body was practically destroyed and you gave your last breath at those moments - the softness with which he narrated the events made the young kneeling too sick - Not long ago the demonic faction learned about the existence of the Ghoul in the world, but strangely it is only an endemic species within the districts of Tokyo ―Ken paid attention to the explanation of Sona
―The number of your species is reduced and can be considered in danger of extinction, we do not know if they are a natural evolution of humanity or a mutation ― the ghoul stared at the face of the girl - Your species called our attention to recruit them into our forces ... it was a pity that when we arrived at the place where I was being confined we could not make ourselves of you
―What are you trying to tell me? ―Kaneki still did not coordinate his ideas correctly
―I am trying to say that we had planned to recruit you as main members in our forces. There is no doubt that exceptional creatures like you would serve well in our ranks ―The coldness in Sona's words burned the ghoul's blood but managed to disguise it.
Without a doubt, Kaneki's coldness to handle the situation was truly incredible. Any other person would be confused and even terrified to try to even think about the words of that impertinent young woman, but then, if that girl said that she belongs to a noble clan of demons then it gave her the complete impression, practically the girl was giving her to understand that they would enslave the captured ghouls. Fury, a growing fury began to emerge within his being, he felt that instead of blood the lava itself ran wildly through his veins.
―Damn bitch ―slight spasms were manifesting in the body of the ghoul, just thinking how those creatures would use the little Hinami as a simple tool, plunged him into the deepest part of his being.
There was no need for more talk, in less than a second two extremities as red as blood emerged from the lower back of the ghoul pointing threateningly at the student council president.
I should tear you to pieces right now - the anger was manifesting in the actions of the old researcher
―What's the problem? ―despite the obvious danger Sona was not scared ―.You did not do the same with the humans who became your food ―Kaneki opened his eyes slightly but his two extra limbs remained firm ― In our case imagine that they would be our servants, not they would have to worry about society and be hunted by the CCG
―THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT OF BEING SIMPLE TOOLS! ―the whole body of the hybrid tensed ―At least the hunting of humans is part of our nature ...!
―A pretext to justify their crimes! ―The Sitri closed her eyes completely ignoring the rapture of the ghoul - The other factions had decided to intervene to exterminate them, but because they were concentrated in a single region it facilitated the postponement of that action ―Ken clenched his fists before the truth ―the problem was in the weapons that were born from their bodies ... the quinques became valuable, imagine that they are like elephants and rhinos, hunted and cut off by their ivory - a second pair of limbs were born from their backs - At least they would be protected by eternity.
That last word resounded in every nook and cranny of Ken Kaneki's mind, the young man had overlooked the "miraculous" way in which he had been returned to the realm of the living, he soon began to tie things together to understand his current situation, he just needed to confirm something before taking the next step.
―What did you do to me? ―the sudden change of personality was surprising, the tranquility in the words of the ghoul made the black-haired girl in confusion
―I reincarnated you as a low class demon ―the young woman explained calmly ―It was the only way to give you back your life, from this moment and for the rest of your existence you belong to me as my loyal servant.
―Fuck you ―Sona was startled by the insult of the ghoul ―Who gave you the right? ―a new pair of rinkakus made an appearance ―WHO SHIT GAVE YOU THE RIGHT ?!
―Wait a moment ... ― Saji dared to speak by calling the young man's attention - You should be happy to be in this world with a new life.
Without any warning, Genshirou Saji went flying vertiginously towards one of the walls, the rest watched mute as his partner and friend hit the wall of that room with force, Ken did not even look at the boy who with difficulty tried to understand that he had beaten him, Sona clenched her jaw as she watched as one of the rinkakus was where her pawn was seconds ago, when her sister told her to be careful with her new servant she understood the reason for his words. The ghoul in front of her was dangerous, even though her whole court had the ability of the young man in front of them was much greater than the sum of all his strength.
―I wanted to die ―that phrase made everyone in the room swallow saliva - I was fed up with this damn existence and this putrid world - Ken under the exhausted look ―I did not ask to be like that, I'm not like Touka or Hinami-chan who were born as ghouls ―the eyes of the former researcher were placed on Sona ―I'm not like Saiko or Tooru who accepted to become Ghoul to fight them ―the six rinkakus were placed threatening on the figure of Sona ―I had planned my death with caution and anticipation, and just when I finally got what I wanted… Again someone has to fuck me the existence.
―Reassure yourself! ―Tsubaki interposed between mistress and servant ―I know it sounds arbitrary but you must understand that the situation may be better!
The one-eyed ghoul began to utter unbalanced, sick, insane laughter. For the first time, everyone present saw him laugh in that sinister way, and they regretted the experience: the hair stood on end.
―Can it be better you say ?! What do you think is the reason that can make the difference? ―He began to slowly approach the vise-president, who was ready if he once again decided to attack the new Rook of Sona. ―You know? What gives me grace is that you defend with such care to this how to say it? Oh yeah, about that girl, because in the end things do not change. The young lady from the demonic royalty only sees them as slaves who are worthless and you are so blinded by the beautiful words that she dedicates to you, without a doubt they make you kiss the ground where she walks. ―He grinned sarcastically, when he saw Tsubaki's shocked expression, one that showed a lot of consternation and confusion. I just do not get it. ―Observing the faces of all of you and seeing the actions that differ from your words make me nervous. - This time I put his gaze on Meguri who was hiding an object.
―Did you think I would not notice? What will you do? Will you use my own quinque against me? ―Indeed, Meguri had in his hands the quinque better known as Yukimura 1/3, the same one Arima Kishou had given him when he wore the mask full of lies known as Haise Sasaki.
―Do I have another option?! We have to take precautions against you! ―Meguri shouted something nervous, raising her arms in a guard position while holding the quinque.
In a matter of milliseconds a powerful roar was heard, the impact was as monstrous as it was corporeal. Another of the rinkakus was beating Tsubaki who was about to attack him when he noticed that Kaneki's bodily features were threatening again, causing her to bounce back at an incredible speed, spinning uncontrollably and hitting her body with a rack of books that were in the room in question.
―Arrg! Dammit! ―From his clenched teeth, small drops of blood came out. When he gathered strength to open his eyes, he spotted Meguri, who could not stand it anymore, had decided to attack the ghoul with the quinque, who without much effort was stopped by the red tentacles.
―Impossible! How could he have anticipated my attack at this distance? ―The commotion of Sona's knight, represented in a fierce grin of clenched teeth, was a thousand times greater. Seeing how dangerous the ghoul was, She did not hesitate a second more to attack again, she had to finish him off, use the quinque to stop a threat like the one that the former researcher supposed and despite all the factors that they played His favor once again missed the attack completely.
―For your position, I suppose you practice some discipline that involves the use of swords. ― He sawd with disdain the girl who stood guard while trembling slightly, understanding that the situation had gotten out of hand, the remaining members of the court of Sona perched beside Meguri. ―I guess it was to be expected that things would end like this. Anyway, we're going to do something good! As a courtesy, I'll give them the advantage of attacking first.
―Enough! ―the voice of the young noble made everyone look at him ―You must keep calm ... I do not want to see them fight among you!
Ken looked at Sona with annoyance, studied every message his body sent, discovering that his words were true, he held his head in exasperation, he could not believe the terrible quagmire he was in, much less how stupid it was. Devils hovering in the world, had to swallow that reality again.
―Take your time to calm down and try to accept your situation ―the heiress of the Sitri turned around to leave - For now I will ignore your aggression against us... ―But next time I will not be so tolerant
―SHUT UP! ―The ghoul took the desk with one hand throwing it towards the window - I HAVEN'T SAID THAT I HAVE AGREED TO BE YOUR SERVANT!
―You have no choice ―Sona look sideways ―. Rejoice for your new life.
Blinded by the anger, the rinkakus attacked the figure of Sona Sitri, out of nowhere several swords emerged from the ground stopping the advance of the former investigator's limbs, walking casually the figure of a redhead crossed the door of the room, the look that He directed Kaneki was full of disapproval, I do not need to be a genius to understand that the new person was someone of the same nature as the guys gathered there, a second group was gathering around the hybrid ghoul, what surprised him most was that the Most of the members of both groups were women, I sigh with annoyance at the suggestion of the chestnut.
―I told you it was a bad idea to reincarnate him as your Rook ―the redhead spoke with some annoyance ―.You are stubborn Sona
―You say it because you cannot have it ―A smile of self-sufficiency adorns Sona's face ―it's a pity that I'll keep the prize
―If you say it ―both young women talked while ignoring the young ghoul ―You should reprimand him for his actions
―We have to be patient, it is normal for him to be upset ―somehow there was some empathy in those words ―,not everyone reacts in the same way.
Kaneki clenched his fists to see how the pair completely ignored his situation, as if he were something secondary, without saying anything hit each of the swords that shield Sona, the redhead was surprised by the sudden action, with force the ghoul shortened the distance between him and the pair of young people, a small albino young girl stood between him and the pair of demons. Ignoring the little girl's appearance, she used her tentacles to get her out of the way.
The surprise was double before the action, the first was that the hybrid had no qualms about ignoring the appearance of the girl and the second was with the ease with which he separated Toujo Koneko from his path.
One of the two things that most bothered Rias Gremory was that they hurt their servants, the second was a secret and Ken Kaneki had managed to infuriate the young woman, but also the group that surrounded her. Sona tried to calm the situation but even his own servants rushed on the ghoul. Soon the wall of the room broke into pieces, the figure of a young woman flew through the air, behind her and covered by the dust of the debris came the author of such destruction, Tsubasa fell heavily to the ground, while Kaneki did it with quite easily.
Inside the room the shaky shapes of those young people were surprised by how unreal that young man's strength was. Moments ago all the demons had been bothered by the treatment that the small Rias Rook had received from the ghoul, believing that they could take such an insult, the group of Rias and the members of Sona's group tried unsuccessfully to subdue the perpetrator .. With graceful but also brutal movements the young ghoul was the one who submitted the numerous group.
The first to fall were Tomoe Meguri and Xenovia Quarta, who drew their swords to try to intimidate the hybrid, but the hardness of the Black Reaper's Kagune managed to resist the power of Durandal and the edge of Yukimura 1/3 of the Knight of Sona, once dislocated by surprise they were hit hard by the kagune, the next were Hanakai Momo and Kusaka Reya. Even when both were excellent bishops, they were overwhelmed by the speed the ghoul used on them, striking their abdomens with their fists, not expecting a Rook to be so quick to react, but once the air left their bodies they fell to the ground downcast
Yuuto Kiba took advantage of the distraction and summoned his Sword of Betrayer, quickly breaking the distance that separated him from his opponent, the problem was that Ken was used to fighting with opponents faster than him, so Kiba's advantage vanished when the young man interspersed his own fists and kicks with the use of his extra limbs. Gasper for his part did not know whether to join his partner but to notice how this was overwhelmed with the ability of the ghoul tried to stop the time of Kaneki, who felt his nerves twitching to feel the threat come from the little damphir. Somehow he managed to blind him by taking an unprepared Tsubasa and throwing her against the wall destroying her, raising enough dust. All that happened in a short period of time.
Rias was stunned, while Sona was pleased by Kaneki's abilities, perhaps for the eyes of the redhead the situation was quite complicated, not to say dangerous, but that outburst of fury that presented her new acquisition. It did not cloud the objectivity that the young former researcher showed when fighting. For a moment I look at the only person who had not taken any action against the ghoul. Ruruko was more concerned about Genshiruo's health than about trying to defend the honor of the Rias Rook.
―By the way, Rias ―the calm in Sona's voice brought out of the surprise in the redhead ―Where is your other Rook?
―Eh? ... Busy with some exams ―the Gremory tilted her head confused by the strange question
―And your other bishop and your pawn? ―Rias narrowed her eyes trying to understand what her childhood friend was thinking-
―They are in the club ―the young woman answered monotonously ―. I don't understand your questions.
With the smile on his lips, Sona simply shook his head, the situation was the most interesting, a single demon had subdued two completely blended entourages, he knew that some demons specialized in different combat styles for the rating games, someone as his new tower would leave his name high in the records of the underworld, he only needed to reassure him a little and negotiate with him.
―I do not regret recruiting him ― Sona's thought was a bit out of place in the situation ―Show me a little more Ken Kaneki.
Issei was a little worried about the young man who had been rescued by Sona Sitri, but more than anything because of the impression that the guy left on the Sekiryuutei's mind, he had never seen someone die in that way, he had decided to forget about his death and in the case of Asia I manage to overcome it with the treatment of the blonde. When the rest decided to see what happened with the new servant of the Sitri decided to stay behind to order their ideas, still wondering who was the "King of one eye", due to the concern and importance that the young man had printed in his words . Asia who was walking by her side decided that it was best to accompany him, although she was also curious to see the new ally and companion; for her the chestnut tree beside her was more important.
―Issei-san, what do you think? ―the young bishop was worried about the face of the Sekiryuutei - the future king of the harem was worried - I do not stop thinking about that "One-Eyed King"
―Will not he refer to Odin-sama? ―the Twilight Healing carrier cocked her head a bit confused
―I do not think that's that, Asia-chan ―Issei scratched his head a little when noticing how silly it was to think that it was Odin
―Well, maybe you can ask him later ―the girl smiled warmly while Issei nodded strongly
―You're right Asia ―the brunette smiled at the suggestion.
The couple was quiet until a huge noise alerted them that something was wrong, without saying a word, they began to run towards the sound, that's when they arrived at the building where both their friends and the student council should be, what they saw Hyodou Issei made him completely upset, standing on an unconscious Tsubasa Yura, was the young man they had taken from the strength of Colchea. Asia put her hands to her mouth to try to hide her amazement and terror when noticing the Kagune that jutted from the lower back, Kaneki's face denoting the discomfort that he felt at that moment. Behind him appeared an annoying Rias and a quiet Sona.
―Kaneki-san, I think you need to calm down a bit ―the condescension in Sona's phrase twitched the nerves of the ghoul ―I don't need you to get mad at the Rias group.
―Sona! ―The redhead looked upset her childhood friend ―it's too late for that
The defiant look in Ken Kaneki's eyes, was set on Sona, he could not help but feel humiliated by the attitude that the young woman showed even though the ghoul clearly refused to accept what she said. He only hoped that the redhead by his side did not act recklessly, but noticing how Rias never disappointed her, he limited himself to exhausted sighing.
To say that of the young heiress of the Gremory was young passionate was to fall short, to notice how his beloved servants were reduced and subdued in a disrespectful way, peak the pride that the young woman held high, before Rias reached the black reaper, a lightning and the edge of a naginata made the Sona Tower change position.
Tsubaki had rejoined the devious and vicious blow that the one-eyed ghoul had given him, while Akeno was very upset about the damage he did to his kohai, which the lightning priestess would not easily forgive. Sona's gaze analyzed the position his servant was putting, he took one of his hands to his glasses in a low voice and commented on the possible strategy that his Tower would use.
First subdue Akeno, to avoid being surprised by his lightning - Sona kept his attention on Kaneki
―Ara ... Ara ―Akeno did not hide his annoyance but his smile indicated that he enjoyed the situation ―You are very bad, ghoul-chan ... I should punish you for your bad behavior.
―I'm not interested ―the former researcher answered calmly ―In fact I do not like those of your type
―It's a shame ―the queen of Rias feigned sadness ―That you are not up to Issei-kun, at least he is a gentleman
―I'm glad to hear that ―the ghoul looked coldly as his rinkakus pointed in the priestess's direction.
The daughter of Baraqiel, began to throw lightning at point-blank range, completely ignoring the place where they were, Ken began to move quickly hindering the aim of the priestess, Rias, Sona and Tsubaki watched in astonishment the young ghoul's ability, showing that he could adapt easily to the opponent in front of him, a quality of lightning was his difficulty in predicting his trajectory due to the complicated behavior of the electric arcs, but Kaneki had plenty of experience when facing the Narukami of Arima, experience that was demonstrated by noticing the despair in the eyes of the Queen of the Crimson Princess Ruin, continued dodging giving lateral jumps, soon the sweat made presence in the forehead of Akeno, with force the tentacles hit the ground making him young gain altitude, turning on itself, he made his kagune break the distance between the two contestants, the whiplash was tremendous as well as the cast I'm in the body of the young girl.
Akeno's body bounced on the cold floor, Rias clenched her fists to see how her friend had been hurt by the ghoul.
Once unused take care of the distance of the naginata ... measure the time between each blow to get an idea of his reaction- Tsubaki attacked against the young man once Akeno had fallen, the ghoul dodged with some difficulty the rakes and cuts that the young queen of Sona gave.
-I see you have the ability to fight armed people - the young Shinra commented quietly - it's a shame you can not keep up -
So you think? - the look of the ghoul showed absolute disinterest - if I compare you with my subordinates you are just a rookie.
The situation was changing as the young Shinra's blows were failing, with one of his rinkakus disarming Tsubaki while two of them took the waist of the girl throwing her through the air.
Sona could not hide a grimace of pain before the resounding fall of her friend and confidant, but everything she was witnessing, helped him to reaffirm the idea of convincing the ghoul to serve him, Rias kept the distance between them, perhaps he began to understand because of Sona's obsession with the former investigator, he lifted one of his hands and suddenly one of the fingers throne, that sound was perceptible to the fine ears of the demons, but the mere fact of doing so caused some repulsion in the young heiresses, just when Rias was going to make his first move, a certain chestnut burst into the field without warning.
―BASTARD! ―the Sekiryuutei tried to hit Kaneki without success ―WHY DO YOU HURT AKENO-SAN AND TSUBAKI-SEMPAI?!
―Why should not I do it? ―The ghoul looked with contempt at the fallen figures of the two girls - You should not have compassion in a battle ... that's what I was taught
―WE SAVE YOUR ASS ... YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL! ―Issei threw punches and kicks looking to hurt Ken
―I did not ask to be saved ―Issei looked at Ken surprised while he just created distance between them ―He was willing to die ... in fact that was what he wanted ―the brunette ran trying to reach the ghoul - But the simple caprice of someone who see as a tool, I'm here
―WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT! ―the former researcher was now the one who was surprised to the chestnut ―WHILE BEING THE KING OF THE HAREM! ―Issei's fist hit the face of the ghoul, at the same time that his glove appeared on his forearm ―AND CAN PROTECT MY FRIENDS ... I DO NOT CARE ABOUT BEING A TOOL!
―I see, you're an idiot ―the black reaper shook his head slightly ― Only to confirm ... Is it important to have a harem?
―Of course, being surrounded by breasts is the greatest paradise that exists― Rias could not hide her shame before the idiots that could be the Sekiryuutei ―Breasts is the greatest legacy in the world
―You're wrong ―Kaneki got up while running against Issei ―The important thing is ... forget it ... someone like you would not understand.
―YOU SON OF A BITCH, do not believe the big thing ―Issei imitated the action of the ghoul to meet face to face.
Rias expected the worst for the chestnut, surprisingly the former researcher discarded his kagune, Issei's fist stepped by, Kaneki's hands took the boy's arm, turning on himself made the body of the chestnut was raised above Kaneki making him fall heavily on the ground, the blow disorientated Issei enough for the ghoul to surround his legs with his legs and pull the arm in which was the boosted gear, the oppression that exerted was decimating the circulation of blood, the chestnut struggled without much success, until he finally lost consciousness. The redhead was dumb for how simple it had been to submit to Issei, Ken for his part looked with some nostalgia at the boy, had made that decision to knock him out because it reminded him a bit of his friend Hide.
The former researcher got up from the floor, the clothes he was wearing were visibly dirty, but this one had not received much damage, again the kagune manifested in the body of the ghoul, walking slowly until he was in front of Rias and Sona.
―I asked kindly ―the emotionless voice of black reaper made the redhead shake slightly ―can you reverse this?
Sona looked without encouragement to her tower, sighed with fatigue before answering knowing that the young man's mood in front of them was going to be worse than a few moments ago.
―it can not be reversed ―the Sitri crossed her arms as she held the gaze to Kaneki's black eyes ―You are a demon and my servant ... for the rest of eternity you must obey me.
―I understand - the ghoul's rinkakus pointed to the figure of Sona ―Then the only thing I have to do is kill you to be free right?
The redhead fell silent at the sinister statement of Ken Kaneki, Sona Sitri for her part kept her calm attitude before the imminent threat that loomed over her, when the ghoul was about to take action to finalize the life of his "mistress", felt behind of him a thirst for blood and an aura of death so great that it paled the presence that Eto Yoshimura emitted against his enemies.
―You Know something? if you do that would make me very sad ―a jovial and cheerful voice crisped the nerves of the black reaper ―.I will not allow you to hurt my dear So-tan!
The last thing Kaneki saw before his world turned black was the radiant smile of a beautiful young woman. Internally he began to blame fate and his luck with women.
