"Eat it" the rough voice rang through my ears. I stared at the bloody corpse in front of me.

I stood in my place, not moving a single inch.

"Aren't you hungry?" the voice said once again.

I nodded.

"Then eat it!"

I looked to the two people behind me. Both of them had encouraging smiles. They held hands, waiting for me to take that big step.

"Mom? Dad? Is it okay?" I asked.

"Honey, of course it is" my mother smiled. I smiled back and turned to face the body in front of me.

I got on my knees and started ripping it in bits, so it would be easier to eat. The fresh blood stained my clothes and skin but I only focused on my task.

First I ate the arms, followed by the legs, face, chest, and finally I ate the most delicious thing; the kagune.

I heard cheers exploding all around me as I stood up, wiping my mouth. I looked at my parents, they grinned at me.

I heard footsteps walking towards me.

"Toto, we're all very proud of you" the man in front of me said, patting my head.

"Thank you" I replied.

"Our youngest kakuja ever, and a product of two chimera ghouls. You might become one of the strongest ghouls to ever live. Maybe even stronger than the one eyed ghoul" he said.

I smiled at the thought of being able to protect the people closest to me.

"I won't let you down boss" I answered.

I was thirteen at the time. Every day I heard people talk about me. They said I was the strongest weapon a ghoul could have. I had all the types of kagune inside me, I owe it to my parents.

My mother was a chimera, she had ukaku type kagune, the wings. She also had rinkaku, the tentacles.

My father was also like her. He had the koukaku, the shell around his arm, and the bikaku, the tail.

Besides being a kakuja and having every type of kagune, I had a special gift called the love labyrinth. I could duplicate every kagune in existence, I just had to taste the opponents blood, even if it was just a drop.

Everyone always said I was a prodigy and I was very popular in the organization, Hadani. My father and mother were so proud of me, but I think the boss was the proudest.

He would always praise me and take me out on missions. I was needed, and that made me happy.

When my parents died, I was left with nobody. In Hadani everybody cared for each other, but they always treated me differently. They saw me as the prodigy ghoul, not Toto Sakigami.

The boss was different though. He was the only one who treated me like who I was, not who I pretended to be.

When I turned 15, he told me I had done enough training and that there were no more things he could teach me. He even said I had become stronger than him and of course, that he was proud of me.

On that day he gave me a mission; to watch over his daughter.

I did as told and became her shadow. She was 16 at the time, a year older than me. Being the daughter of one of the most powerful gang leaders, Emi was a walking target.

I was always there with her. When she was awake, and even when she was asleep. I took care of the bad guys so she could live in peace.

I let her fight once in a while too, so She could grow and learn to defend herself.

One day I was reporting back to the boss, like usual . When I was done I went to look for Emi. I searched everywhere, from her favorite places, to her most hated ones but she was nowhere to be seen.

The next day she marched into the boss' office. She was mad, she was saying something about the tracking device he put in her. Although I was standing in the corner, she didn't notice me.

When she left, the boss looked at me with an expression he had never given me before... disappointment. I remember his exact words.

"How did she get those stitches on her leg? I thought you were protecting her"

I didn't know how to answer. I was frozen in place. I didn't know how to react or what to do next. He just stared at me, and for the first time, I felt like I had betrayed him. I left his office with his disappointed face on my mind.

Later that day I found out where she had been. She was with that boy. He didn't look like dove, but I had seen him in action before. That was the first time I ever felt afraid. And with my parents dead and my boss mad at me, I had no idea what to do.

I couldn't let the boss down again, but all he wanted was Emi's happiness. I didn't know what to do. I knew what that boy was capable of, and as strong as Emi was, she was no match for the CCG's Jason.

I figured if Emi's happy, then the boss is too. I let her be with that boy, but I was even more persistent on not leaving her side. I stopped going to the boss' office to report. Instead, He sent other ghouls as messengers.

I was everywhere she was. I watched as the relationship between her and the boy grew. I was there when he killed Souta, a ghoul from Hadani. I was there when he almost killed her that same day. I was there when they fell off the building, the first time Emi showed him her kagune.

Emi's kagune... I've always had a thing for it. I find it extremely beautiful. It's mesmerising to say the least. But Emi's weird, she's different. I can't copy her kagune for some reason. Well, not exactly. I can merge some of my ukaku with hers but I can't do it completely.

Time passed and, although I respect the boss, I was getting bored. I contemplated the idea of just killing the boy and bringing Emi back to Hadani, but it didn't seem like a great one.

When the boss announced war I was exited. I had never used my power to full extent. No opponent ever lived long enough to see it. But now I had the chance. I wanted to fight, to feel the adrenaline pumping inside my body.

I was shocked when the boss asked me to keep away from the fight. He told me he didn't want me to risk my life, and that I needed to protect Emi instead.

Part of me was happy the boss cared about me, part of me was raging because I wasn't going to fight. But the boss had a reason for doing that, and I wasn't going to question him. I had to watch over his daughter. His daughter, the same girl who tells him how much she hates him, was the reason I couldn't fight. My thirst for blood sometimes got the best of me, but I couldn't let it happen with her.

If only the boss had let me fight instead of watching over someone, maybe things would've turned out different. Maybe there would've been many more survivors, and certainly the boss would be safe.

I should've been there. I should've protected him. I should've killed that boy when I had The chance.

Here I am now, crying over the boss' dead body. I failed. I wasn't capable of doing my job. I wasn't capable of protecting who I loved most.

Toto Sakigami, better known as the prodigy ghoul, wasn't even capable of saving himself.

Because while you're alive, you need a reason for your existence. Being unable to find one is the same as being dead. I already had my reason to live, it was the boss. But just like my parents, now he's gone. And there's only one person to blame...
