Kaneki looked back and forth between the two of them. It was scary how identical they were but that wasn't important right now. Why was Touka's wayward brother here?
"This place hasn't changed in the slightest and neither have you. Sitting around talking and laughing like humans while our kind are out here dying. What have any of you done to help them?"
"We feed and protect them you jerk! All you and your little pals do is draw attention to yourselves and others who were safe until you made things complicated!!"
"Aogiri Tree will make the humans fear us Touka. So no more children have to bury their parents and vice versa. You playing your little sick game isn't doing a damn thing."
"That's enough Ayato, we're here for something else."
Nico, Yamori and all their lackeys landed behind Ayato which made Tsukiyama, Nishiki, Touka, and Kaneki stand at the ready. God this was a terrible time for Yoshimura, Yomo, and Uta to be out hunting.
"Whatever, just grab the bastard and let's be done with this."
"You're so hot when you act like you're in charge Ayato."
"Kill me.."
"Later baby."
Yamori sneered in a twisted and extended his hand toward the shop. "Kill all but the poor bastard with the eye patch."
"Yamori. Leave my sister to me."
"Right right. Kill."
The small squadron of Aogiri members flew above their leaders toward the cafe, kagunes already drawn. This wasn't good.
One by one, Nishiki, Touka, Tsukiyama and Kaneki all called upon theirs and engaged them with the intent to kill.
Kaneki had been getting trained by Yomo during his time working for Tsukiyama. It first it was so he could fight off his advances but this was good too. Besides he didn't really know how to fight, just defend. Both himself and others.
It was strange but he felt like he was in his element. He'd never really fought anyone or been in a battle but blocking attacks sent towards his allies felt so right and familiar.
Tsukiyama and Nishiki and extended their kagunes and slashed at their feet causing them to jump into the air where they were entirely vulnerable. Touka jumped over her allies and rained down her crystalline spikes on the unsuspecting enemies.
The ones that were smart enough to block were impaled by Kaneki who finally decided to attack.
Ayato took this opportunity to dash toward Kaneki and kick him in his abdomen, sending him flying into the tables.
Touka diverted attention to Kaneki which opened her up to Nico kicking her down from her vantage point into Nishiki.
Tsukiyama and Yamori stared each other down for a good few before he started trying to thrust his blade into him. Yamori, who dodged the slow attacks with ease, flipped over him and sent two of his tails through his torso.
"Tsukiyama!!", Kaneki got up and ran towards Yamori followed by Touka and Nishiki who were intercepted by Ayato.
"Get out of our way shitty ass kid!!"
"Nishiki don't!!"
"Idiot."
Ayato's kagune emerged from his back but unlike Touka's, his had two wings that ended up impaling Nishiki and throwing him to the side.
Touka couldn't let herself be stopped so she kept moving forward and attacked her brother. Boy their dad would be so disappointed.
Kaneki cut off Yamori's tails so Tsukiyama could be freed but soon found himself staring into the eyes of absolute insanity.
Yamori cracked his fingers as he approached Kaneki, his shadow looming over the smaller man's.
Yamori was known throughout and feared in all wards as 'Jason'. His tactics were unnecessarily brutal and his bloodlust knew no bounds. In all honesty he was more of a monster than Rize.
"So you're the little brat! Heh, you smell just like her. Care to play with me a little?!"
His fingers cracked once more as moved his leg up and crush Kaneki under foot.
Kaneki gagged and squirmed underneath the large shoe and even used his kagune to impale the man's stomach but was surprised when he didn't even flinch.
"Are you serious? That was your best shot? You may have her scent and kagune but you're definitely not her."
He grabbed him by his collar and began slamming him into the ground repeatedly, the snapping and cracking of bones in the air.
Ayato was currently sitting on Touka's back having subdued her and just watched the brutality.
"Oi Yamori, Tatara wants him alive."
"I know I know but perhaps he wouldn't mind if I took a finger or two. Perhaps an arm or a leg?! OR ALL FOUR!!!"
"Jesus you're a sick bastard."
"Yamori sweetie, it's about time we left. If the Doves get involved then things will definitely get complicated."
"...Fine. But your idiots can carry him Ayato."
"Tch...BANJOU GET YOUR LAME ASS DOWN HERE!!"
Moments later a ghoul wearing a gas mask landed in front of the shop where Kaneki was rudely thrust into his arms.
Ayato got up off of Touka and kicked her in the stomach to make her stay down while Nishiki staggered over to Tsukiyama.
"You're weak Touka...just like dad."
Touka looked up from her place on the floor as she watched the masked man throw Kaneki over his shoulder and begin to walk away, followed by Nico, Yamori, and Ayato.
Once again she was helpless and could only watch as someone she cared about was taken from her.
"Not again..."
When they were gone, Nishiki and Tsukiyama helped Touka up and sat around in silence until Yoshimura and the others returned.
Naturally they all had questions and concerns but when they heard about Kaneki, the ambiance of the room changed completely.
"It's my fault, I was to brash and engaged her brother without thinking."
"It's not your fault Nishio, it's mine for not being able to hold that brute Yamori back. Had Kaneki not intervened, I would've been killed."
"I just...couldn't do anything. Ayato was just too strong or I was just too weak."
Yoshimura took off his hat and approached Touka where he placed a hand on her head.
"Let's go get him back."
