Tokyo Ghoul Story

Tokyo Ghoul: Blood Bath

Chapter 6: Leave Her Alone!

Ivan yawns as he wakes up on a couch he sits up and looks around the room then hops up and turns his head towards the kitchen. A deep scent filled the room kinda like burning flesh Ivan walked into the kitchen in his pajamas, a green tank top and black jogging pants, he sees Riri cooking at the stove and Hotaru and Minam sitting at the kitchen table. "Good Morning sweetheart," Riri says as she notices him standing in the doorway "Want some breakfast?"

"Uh ssure it ssmellss weird though is that human flessh?"

"What else would it be silly?"

"Normal food."

"Ghouls can't eat normal food."

"Oh yeah I forgot I wasss one of thosse.."

"Don't say it so shameful boy."

"Ghouls are way better than humans." Minam butts in Hotaru put her feet on the table which made Riri slap her feet off the table.

"No feet on the table, how many times do I have to tell you that?" Hotaru scoffed at her turning her head toward Ivan glaring. Minam chuckled seeing this and poked her cheek.

"Don't get any ideas he's mine sis." Hotaru blushed standing up.

"W-what are you talking about idiot!" She snatched some flesh and left eating it on her way out. Riri sighed putting a hand on her hip shaking her head.

"Great she was supposed to show you around. Minam you should go make him a mask as soon as possible." Minam was way ahead of her making a square with his fingers looking at Ivan.

"Yeah I can see it the perfect mask." Ivan scratched his head confused.

"Massk?" Riri nodded she looked out the window of the kitchen seeing Hotaru walking down the sidewalk kicking a stone along the way.

"Ghouls must wear mask when they hunt so our faces aren't remembered by them." Ivan gulped nervous.

"Thosse Dove guyss?" She nodded handing Ivan a plate of flesh. Hotaru kicked the stone hard sending it flying down the sidewalk she walked into an ally sighing.

"Can't believe we have to babysit that guy, and why do I have to show him around bros the one who wants to get in his pants." She chuckled at her own joke then went quite hearing the sound of a trash can being knocked over. She walked to the sound looking around the corner seeing a small child cowering in a corner, and a man standing above them. At first Hotaru assumed this was one of two things, the start of some kind of horrible fetish or a ghoul who was hungry. Neither was right as she saw the child had two red eyes and the man held a briefcase, she clenched her teeth she didn't want to get involved but she knew she had to. Reaching into her jacket pocket pulling out a mask it was black with red spider webs covering it. It had eight holes in it for eyes or so it would seem there were only two real holes the others were just for decoration. Putting on the mask on and jumped onto the top of the building the kid was backed up against. The man clicked a button on his briefcase it opened leaving a katana like quinque, he reeled it back ready to slice but when he did he only hit a trash can. Looking behind him he saw eight red Kagunes the child was in the arms of the owner of the Kagunes. Letting the child go she flicked her wrist signaling for them to run. The Dove pointed his quinque at her narrowing his eyes at her.

"You're the A-rank ghoul Spider Web correct?" Hotaru was tempted to answer but decided against it so he wouldn't know her voice the man nodded his head. "Your silence is the only answer I need." He took a step forward Hotaru reacted all eight of her Kagunes stabbed at him aiming to pierce all his organs. Sadly she had no luck hitting any of his organs as her Kagunes were deflected by the quinque one of her Kagunes was damaged she brought it near her to see the damage. It wasn't a deep cut she had her other seven Kagunes attack him but the results were the same, deflect, deflect, deflect, deflect. She couldn't hit him she thought about retreating but the Dove could tell that's what she was planning. He dashed forward slashing at her she blocked with one of her Kagunes regretting her decision as soon as she made it. Watching her Kagune fly through the air and hit the ground behind her she wasn't worried about the it she was too focused on the pain on her chest as she coughed up blood. A slash mark going up her chest he hadn't hit anything important but it hurt a lot.

"I should wrap this up before Kazuichi gets bored and just leaves again." Hotaru spit out some more blood she looked up at the man he had cold eyes looking down on her. Like he was about to crush a bug she knew those eyes it was the same eyes she showed to Ghouls who were a lower rank than her. She began to think about the others which made her choke up.

'Sorry bro sorry Riri sorry...Ivan I didn't even get to know you.' The man brought down his sword blood hits his cheek. But the blood didn't belong to Hotaru it belonged to the man himself he looked and he had a deep gash in his hand now. Looking back he saw his quinque stuck in a wall blocking his way to Hotaru was Riri or as he knew her.

"The Thorn Princess." She wore a mask that was white with rose petals on it and a thorny green stem circling the mask. She turned around to look at Hotaru using her Kagune to attack the man he quickly decided to retreat and ran to his quinque grabbing it. He then slashed turning to block Riri's Kagune from decapitating him. He ran into the building Riri didn't bother to chase him she was more worried about Hotaru.

"Hotaru sweetie you ok?" Hotaru could barely hear her a mix of tiredness and blood loss was causing her to black out. But before she did she smiled waving a hand to Riri sarcastically saying.
