Star-crossed (Tokyo Ghoul x Ansatsu Kyoushitsu fanfic)

C12: Bladed Chains

"Your eyes must be getting sore, Karasuma," Takaoka jeered at him, "Choosing that girl, of all people." However he did not flinched from what he said, resulting Takoka making a 'Tch' sound before turning back to me.

He took off his jacket, preparing for my upcoming attacks while cracking his knuckles, "Come at me!" He seemed to be very happy about it, no doubt that he has a plan behind the shadows.

I heard the others chattering,
"Hey..can she do it?"
"I don't know.."
"Not to mention that she's using a real knife.."

A real knife in my hands... I looked down at the held knife in my hands, it reflected the light of the sun because of its metal material. It was silver in colour. I wonder what does a knife means?

A toy knife to a real sword, there's so much difference is there? When was the first time I took upon a real knife? I don't even remember anymore, I don't even want to remember.

But I remember a cup of coffee, a cafe, a group, and an innocent smile. So innocent that I was afraid to taint it, so innocent that I was afraid to embrace it. That's right, I can never forget that memory, and only that memory.

"Come on, what are ya waiting for?!" Takaoka shouted at me while pointing at me, clearly he was impatient. I gave a soft sigh as I turned my vision back to him.

"Yuki!"

"Hm? What?"

"I found a limited edition version of this!"

"You really like his books huh?"

"Eh, yes I do..is it a bad thing?"

"Of course no, books are wonderful things."

"I know I know! I'm glad that we share the same love for books!"

"Don't go! Please! Don't!"

"Sorry...Yuki...run away..before they.."

"I won't! I won't! You're coming with me!"

"Yuki...please, before they come.."

"I can fend them off! So please.."

"There are too many, you can't.."

"I can! So please, come with me.."

"I'll only drag you down, leave me. Run away!"

"I already said I can fend them off myself! So yo-"

"YUKI! Please..! Don't let us..die in vain. They are already coming!

Yuki, I love you, all of us does..

So please, live on.
