Tokyo Ghoul :rebellion

4

Tokyo, the 20th Ward, 3 years ago.

Derek puts on his crimson hoodie and goes to a coffee shop around the corner called "Anteiku."

He walks through the door with his hood down so that no-one sees his face and sits down on the third table down. He sits, looking down on the floor.

"Hey, are you okay," a young man asks.

Derek looks up and sees a black haired adult with a white eye patch around his left eye.

"Do you want anything, or are you okay?"

Derek still stares down on the floor, twiddling with his thumbs.

"Leave him be, Kaneki-kun," a senior man says to the black-haired man.

Derek snaps his head up and looks at the window and then looks up at Kaneki.

"K-Kaneki," Derek asks himself.

"Yoshimura, it's okay. I mean, he's still a customer, right?"

Yoshimura smiles, shakes his head and walks away. Derek taps Kaneki's shoulder.

"Huh?"

"Hey, um, do you know a guy named Dr. Kano?"

"Um, yeah," Kaneki replies, "that man saved my life!"

"So, you're an artificial ghoul?"

Kaneki starts to get nervous. "H-how did you know that?"

"*cough, cough, Rize Kamishiro*, I mean, what?"

Kaneki starts to walk away, but Derek grabs him by the arm and pulls him back to the table.

"Do you know someone named Touka Kirishima?"

"Y-yeah. She works here, actually."

"Where is she?"

"Um, she left to see her uncle."

"When is she coming back?"

"Sorry, I don't know."

"Listen to me, you fucking cunt. You're going to tell me where she is or else..." Derek breathes in and out. "Sorry, got a bit carried away. Just tell me where she might be, okay?"

Kaneki quickly nods his head. Derek lets go of Kaneki and pushes him away.

Kaneki walks into the back and walks upstairs in Touka's room. Touka is sitting on her desk.

"You're right," Kaneki tells her, "there's someone after you."

Touka looks at Kaneki and nods.

Derek walks back home and runs upstairs to his room. He writes on the piece of paper he started writing on yesterday.

"My Bucket List

· Kill Touka and put her through the same torture that I went through

· Put Kaneki out of his misery"

Derek puts the pen down and puts his head onto the desk table. He laughs and then gets into another fit. He writhes around the floor and cries and laughs and cries and laughs and cries and laughs and screams. After that, Derek's face turns blank. Derek gets up from the floor and writes another thing on the piece of paper.

"Also,

· Destroy everyone in my way."

He puts down the pen, gets into his covers and just stays there. He doesn't do anything. He doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep. He just stays in the covers, getting warm.
