"Oh, come on, again?" Hide enters the room. "You didn't tell me Naito got in another fight with Amano." He sits at his desk. "
Well, I talked to Naito after, she is just a bit of a bitch, I guess, no hate." I said. "She has had a rough life, I can relate to that, she's still upset that I came back." I lean on my desk. "I do need to fix her and Arita's relationship, they keep getting into arguments as well."
"Man, I'm exhausted." I yawn.
"Usui is a Quinx, I thought she was registered as a human?" Hide shows me a report.
"Same here, me and Arita knew because we met a month before I came back, we kept it private. 
"I thought her grandparents took her off the 3rd Generation Quinx Project." Hide says. "Can I tell you my theory?" Hide asks me.
"Why not?" "Usui is losing control, so is Naito." He reveals. "Naito is a One-Eyed Ghoul, but she isn't artificial like you, maybe she could be a descendant of the Washuu Clan, but she said she lived in the 24th ward." Hide tells me.
"Couldn't be." I said. "If she was, she would've revealed it by now cause she has a loud mouth, plus, I looked through records of the members killed by Furuta and V, no one under the named Mariko was show,." I emphasize. "However I could be wrong."

We get home and I take a bath. It's already 11 PM, we had plenty of meetings that day and we just wanted to fall asleep. I lean my head against the end of the tub and sigh.
"Dead before thirty?" I said to myself. "What a twist, I always wanted to have children." I smirked.
"Kaneki told me about Dr. Kanou, saying that one eyed ghouls that are artificial have their lifespans already reduced, and since I'm one and a half human, I might die sooner than I thought." I tell myself. But how could I make myself live longer?" I asked myself. I take a glimpse of my long white hair.
I get out of the bath and dry myself. I take a shot of the mirror. My kakuja marks are still there. I've been able to disguise them with makeup, but they are becoming more noticeable. I put my hair up in a bun and get dressed into a tank top and shorts.

"WOAH, THIS IS MY ROOM?" I gasped in excitement.
"Yeah, I decorated it as well." My uncle says. I was fourteen years old, and just got recruited into the CCG. My training would begin in a few days, I just have to rest. My hair was short, black and thick, and I was just around 5'0.
"Uncle Itsuki, when do I become a full on investigator like you?" I ask him.
"This January, when you're fifteen." He responds. It's around August, so I groaned.
"Aw man, I can't wait to become like you!" I said excited. The next day, training starts. We first did martial arts. I had to train with Haise.

"You're too quick!" I cried as Haise kicks my leg, dropping me on the floor.
"You have amazing detective skills, however, you are a bit lackluster in punches." Haise tells me.
"I guess so, my brother told me that I should learn how to fight, to protect myself from ghouls, he was just dumb." I smirked. I stand up and he looks a bit sad.
"COME ON, I WANT TO SHOOT GUNS AND SWING SWORDS!" I shouted.
"These are Q Bullets, what do these do?" Haise shows and questions me.
"Can they pierce a ghoul?" I ask.
"Correct, their kagune to be exact." He hands me a gun and I aim it.
"Be gentle, wear earmuffs too." He puts them on me. I squint on the target and shoot.
"Perfect shot!" I exclaimed.
"What?!" Haise shouts surprised. "Is this your first time using a real gun?" He asks me.
"Well yeah, I suppose, if you mean BB guns, no." I said.
"You're a prodigy!" Haise shouts. "I guess so." I smirked.

"I have to study?" I groaned.
"Yes, I have a friend that can help you." Akira tells me. Meet Kei Watanabe, he's in Divison II as a Technical Analyst." He introduces me. He has dark velvet hair and wore a gray shirt and black pants.
"Nice to meet you." I bowed.
"What a young lady." He smirks.
"Alright, I'll let you study." Akira leaves. She closes the door as Kei pulls out books.
"Ghoul Biology and CCG Handbook?" I said out loud.
"This is what the exam is on?" I ask him.
"Yeah, I even had to take it, it's difficult." He tells me. "I know most of Ghoul Biology, but the Handbook is somewhat hard to remember." He tells me. I take the Biology book and open it.

"You may start when you're ready." Arima tells me. Who knows why I'm in his office to take it. It is somewhat easy, although the CCG questions are kicking my ass. Why so many questions on the rules? I finished the quiz in around ten minutes and placed my pen on the table.
"I'm done." I signalled Arima.
"Already, that was quick." He picks up the test. He puts on his glasses and looks through it. "Neat, I'll head this to the chairman, be right back." He says. He leaves. I pull out a Sen Tatatsuki book and read it. It was Dear Kafka, her first one. Akira got me it.
"Hey, Rei, did Arima just leave?" Haise comes in. "Yeah, just finished my exam." I tell him. He comes in and looks over my shoulder.
"Is that Takatsuki?" He asks me. "Yeah, Akira got me it." I shrugged. "It's pretty good." I smiled. "Although these words are strong." I mumbled. "Hey, do you know what blurbled means?" I ask him. "Means a continuous mumbling sound." He responds. "I'm not good with grammar, and math." I mumbled.

"My name is Reina Marude, I'm a 3rd Ranked Investigator, nice to meet you all!" I introduced myself. "I am excited and stoked to be working with you all!" I shout.
"Nice welcoming, eh?" Marude says.
"Marude has a niece, awfully young?" I hear someone. I go sit at my desk and am amazed. "You will be on your own in the building, but when you go out, you will be with either Haise or Takeomi." My uncle tells me. I wore a black turtleneck and a checkered black and white skirt with boots, with black tights.

"This is your quinque." I get introduced to by a mechanic. It is a Bikaku quinque, with a sharp end.
"Can I name it?" I ask her. "Oh of cours-"
"I CALL IT KAFKA!" I exclaimed.
"Bit of a reader." She laughs.
"She's eccentric." My uncle says. This time, Takeomi and Haise are busy, so I go on my own. I head out of the building, carrying my bag and my quinque.

"Jeez, these are heavy." I groaned. The 1st Ward is a safe ward, although you have to be extremely cautious ghoul to live here. I turned a corner and I feel being watched. I turned around and see a kagune formed. I grab my quinque and activate it.
"S Rated Artist!" I shouted. "Double Quinque, Bikaku and Ukaku!"
"You're informed!" He shouts as he launches at me. I jump and pierce his shoulder. I grab the gun in my jacket and shoot at his Ukaku kagune, striking. I wish my sword against his head, decapitating him.

"I TOLD YOU TO GO WITH HAISE OR TAKEOMI!" My uncle shouts on the phone.
"I was alright, only a scratch." I blurbled. "But hey, I get a new quinque." I laughed.
