My brother and I are all that we have. All the both of us has. But he's all I need. I don't need anyone else. As long as I've got him. As long as I have Koji, I'm okay. Everythings okay. I could never live without him. Like I'm sure.. He couldn't live without me either.
Everybody knows about Ghouls. Those monstrous beasts that eat humans. And kill for the fun of it. We're them. We're ghouls. Except we don't kill people. We just try to consume only blood, like donated blood or suicide. People who've committed suicide. We use them for food. There has been times.. Where either me or my brother have gone off 'the deep end' and tried to kill humans. But we always stopped each other.
My brother's walking in front of me, a smile on his face, holding a couple of bags. I slowly trailed behind him, carry bags too. I jogged to catch up with him, as quiet as i could I jumped onto his back. My arms wrapped around loosely on his neck and my legs wrapped around his waist. "Seriously, Tsukiko!?" My brother, Koji, shouted. I made him jump. I laughed in reply as we walked through the normal alleyway to get home. But , we were soon stopped by two men. My brother and I shared a glance instantly knowing who these two men were. The two men are known well with Ghouls. But not in a good way. Mado and Amon. Investigators working with the CCG. I quickly got down off of Koji's back and stood. I'm shaking. What the hell?
"Run. Sister. Run." Koji muttered to me but I couldn't leave him. I couldn't leave Koji all by himself with these two. "I'm not running." I said, my tone was serious as I got into fighting stance. Our eyes shifted rom normal human eyes to our Ghoul eyes. "Can't you just run! Goddamn it!" Koji shouted as he began to attack the two investigators but was quickly thrown back by Mado's case opening, revealing someone's Kagune in a human hand. I ran seeing how my brother was going to get impaled. "Fuck!" I shouted as I ran infront of my brother. He can't die. I can't let Koji die. It'd be better if I die, rather than him. As I was impaled by Mado's stolen Kagune the other, younger man began to attack my brother, who's attacks had now become uncoordinated and sloppy as I stood, spiked Kagune lodged in my stomach. " Brother, just run! You have to survive! You have to!" I shouted as tears began to well in my eyes. "I'm not leaving you, Tsuki!" Koji shouted back as he attacked Amon, the younger investigator. "Can't you see? You're hurting us... We haven't done anything wrong..." I muttered beneath my breath. But my mutters were useless, it didn't stop Mado from impaling me once more. I didn't fight back. If I fight back, it just shows them that they win, everything they think about us is true. "Brother... Please... Just run.." I muttered once more as tears finally ran down my cheeks, a chuckle was heard, echoing down the alleyway from Mado as he stabbed me once again. "You really think that we would let you live? Two monstrous ghouls of siblings!?" Mado said inbetween cackles. I see why we were attacked, targeted. Because we're ghouls? We can't help what we are. "Koji... Brother .. . Go..." I cried as my brother continued to fight, blood dripping down every inch of his body. He had to make it out. "I'm not going Tsuki. My dear sister, I would never leave you." Koji muttered with a smile as he turned his back on Amon and walked over to me. He gently picked me and placed me back onto my feet, like he would do when we were young. When we were children. Tears were running down my cheeks as my brother gently wiped them away. " Run for me. Run away,." Koji whispered into my ear as tears welled in his eyes as well as my own. I couldn't. "No!" I replied, hastily. I wasn't going to leave him, there was no way I could. Koji sighed as he turned me around and shoved me, sending my flying forward out of the alleyway, onto the street. "Koji!" I shouted as he gave me a small smile before he was impaled. Time didn't stop whikst we were talking, it may have seemed that way. But whilst he was speaking and comforting me, he was still being attacked. Dodging and reflecting them the best he could. "Tsukiko!" He shouted, a smile lighting up his face as he called my name. "Get there safely! A cafe, Anteiku. They'll look after you!" Koji shouted, tears streaming down my face as I saw my brother fighting for both my life and his life. "You have to survive! You have to!" The two of us shouted, simultaneously. "You have to come too! Run with me, brother! " I shouted as tears continued to run down my cheeks as if it were a race to the finish line. "I'll catch up." My brother replied, deep down I knewhe wouldn't. He wouldn't catch up. "Sister! Run please!" He shouted and then my legs began to move, I didn't want them to, I wanted to protect my brother. But then again, the wounds I had would've got us both killed. So, I ran. I ran and ran and ran until legs gave in.
Tears cascading down my cheeks as I ran for hours, finally reaching my destination. I ran into thecafe, blood pouring from the wounds I'd acquired. Tears also pouring. I banged on the door as hard as I possibly could. An older man opened the door, seeing my state he quickly rushed me in. "Please.. my brother..." I cried, the dizziness from the blood loss was finally getting to me. My eyes felt heavy. What's your brother's name?" The older man asked me, his tone was sweet and soothing. Reminding of my fathers voice. "Koji... Nagamine Koji..." I said before my eyes closed, finally closing. The heaviness faded away. "I'm Yoshimura. You must be Tsukiko. Koji told me a lot about you so I need you to stay alive." The older man, Yoshimura stated but I couldn't open my eyes, his voice slowly drifted away.
The next I opened my eyes, it'd been days, the morning glow of the light blinded me as I finally opened my eyes. For a moment, I was relaxed and then I sat up rapidly and looked around, ignoring the pain in my lower torso as I looked around, hunting for my brother. "Brother!? Koji!?" I shouted as I looked around seeing unfamiliar people but my brother was not in sight. I knew it. He was gone. He hadn't survived, there was no way. "We went.. to the alleyway.. His blood was everywhere but he wasn't.. there. He's gone." Yoshimura explained, my eyes widened as he spoke, tears began to well in my eyes. He really was gone... He was gone.. I'm all alone. All the family I had was gone. Tears began to run down my cheeks as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I didn't look up, I couldn't.. My knees were bought up to my chest as I buried my head into my knees, crying. "It's alright..." The unfamiliar voice whispered to me. A guy. It was a guy. Sobbing into my knees I felt the anger running in my blood, rise. "Alright!? It's not alright! My brother! My twin brother is dead!" I shouted through tears as I pushed away the white-haired guy. He looked a few years older than me. He looked taken back for a minute before returning to a calm state. "Hey.. I promise it'll be okay.." The guy continued on in attempt to comfort me. "It's not okay! It'll never be okay! He's gone! Koji's gone! My brother! I'll never see him again! I didn't get to say goodbye!" I shouted once again before crying even more, we had promised each other we'd always be together. That promise was broken. My brother was gone. Part of myself had died along with him. "It's never gonna be okay!" I shouted as I got to my feet and fled, out the cafe.
The white haired guy, in his long coat came chasing after me. He grabbed my arm stopping from running anymore. "Hey, just calm down. I get it okay? I lost my sister.. I couldn't save her. So I get it. Losing a sibling. But you need to calm down, crying isn't going to bring him back. The least you can do is survive. I'm Reiji. Reiji Yomo." Renji, the same man as before said, holding onto my arm. But when he told me not to cry, the anger just increased. "So I can't cry!? I can't mourn!? My dead brother! I'm sorry you lost your sister. I'm really sorry. But I have right to lash out and mourn." I explained, I wasn;t crying anymore. What he was saying made sense but I was to busy feeling sorrow for myself. "I'll kill them. Anyone that ever hurt my brother, I'll kill them! I'll kill them all!" I shouted as I shook my head. "I won't let you do that. You'll regret it. So I won't let you die trying to avenge your brother. I won't let you kill people. Koji wouldn't want that." Reiji tried to smile, but he couldn't. What he said would probably make sense in the future but no now. "How would you know what Koji would want!?" I shouted as I marched to Reiji, raising my hand and quickly slapping him across the face. "Don't speak about him as if you knew him. You didn't know him." Tears rolled down my cheeks as Reiji stood shocked, the anger was clear in his face. I turned my back and walked away.
"I'm trying to help you! I get the grief, the need for revenge so you can remember him! I know! I get it! I'm just trying to fucking help you!" Yomo shouted, the anger was clear in his voice. I remember the last I saw my brother's face. A smile, whilst he was on the verge of death. How could someone do that? How could someone be so ruthless and kill that innocent boy? My innocent twin. I didn't turn around and face Reiji. I just kept walking. "You wanna get yourself killed! Get yourself killed then! I'm done trying to help you!" He shouted but his voice slowly faded away in the distance between us.
I wandered around for hours, hopelessly searching for my brother. "I'll kill them.. I'll kill them... I'll fucking end them.. They're dead." I muttered to myself as I gripped onto my hair gently tugging it.
