He was unbelievably pissed. Why? Why did he keep doing this? He just kept letting them get away. Was he not good enough to kill? Was he weak? Did he think he was strong enough to take them out without much effort?

Amon went over all these thoughts while his teammates celebrated a job well done. Houji and Takizawa had successfully exterminated Fueguchi so Shinohara took everyone out for a celebratory dinner. He wasn't feeling very hungry.

Eye Patch had broken Kureo's quinque and saved Fuegichi's daughter from execution before leaving them alive and disappearing yet again. Just what the hell was his deal?

He excused himself from everyone and went to the restroom for a little private time. He just needed to clear his head for a moment and felt that he couldn't do so while enduring everyone else's cheerful conversations.

Eye Patch. What was it that lied behind those of eyes of his? That sadness, where had it come from? And why could he relate to it? Oh that's right, he knew why. Betrayal, and it all started back when he was a child.

Like most children, Amon grew up in an orphanage run by a priest who he and the other children soon came to few as their father. However, said father was harboring a dark secret. Because behind closed doors this holy man was actually a man eating ghoul who liked to feast on the children he took in and claimed we're adopted as a cover so he could devour them without question.

Amon had caught him in the act once but was never killed since the priest genuinely cared about him like he was his own flesh and blood. Bullshit, he just wanted to keep him silent. And it worked.

Amon said and did nothing and just went about life like everything was regular until the Doves came and captured the priest and saved him.

He was immediately enrolled into the CCG Academy where he learned how to be an investigator and more importantly, how to slaughter the monsters known as ghouls.

He'd risen through the ranks and was eventually assigned the title of 'Rank 1' investigator and assigned as the partner of one Kureo Mado whom he admired.

Now here he was in a bathroom thinking about how a person he'd never shared more than a few words with, could relate to him. But what made it worse was that he was a ghoul.

He sighed and exited his stall where he found Juuzou leaning against a sink, giving him one of the weirdest smiles he'd ever seen.

"What do you want Suzuya?"

"Congratulations on annihilating Fueguchi~"

"You could've said that in front of the others. What do you really want?"

"Fueguchi's daughter. And the Eye Patch ghoul."

"What?"

"Mr.Mado told us how you freeze everytime you meet this ghoul so I figured that I'd kill two birds with one stone and fix your mistake of letting him and that girl go. You understand right?"

Amon grabbed Juuzou by his collar and thrust him up against the fall with a look of absolute fury in his eyes.

How dare this little brat come and disrespect him like this, like he was a failure and a lesser being. He'd been keeping quiet and not really laying into him per Shinohara's request but his patience was running thin.

"You gonna hit me or do you just like being close to guys like this? It's okay, I won't tell if you won't~"

Amon grimaced as Juuzou stood on the tips of his toes and tried to kiss him. He let go of his collar and stepped back to straighten his tie and gather what was left of his composure.

"Listen Suzuya, I don't need you to correct anything for me. I get it, you're feeling larger than life because your new quinque is being made of Jason but please don't forget that you weren't the one to do him in and that you're only getting a personal quinque because of Shinohara's respected position. You've done absolutely nothing on your own, now if you'll excuse me I'm going to join our friends for a wonderful evening. See you there."

Amon walked past Juuzou and left the latter still with the same twisted smile on his face. It was only after he left that Juuzou dropped the smile and opened his shirt, revealing 56 knives on his person.

He grabbed the hilt of one and placed it between his teeth before rolling up his pant leg to reveal scars all over his legs. He removed the blade from his teeth and dragged it across his flesh slowly.

He began to giggle as the blood bubbled up in the cut and spilled out the sides and onto the floor.

"Heh heh, fucking bastard..."

He didn't even move to stop when he heard the door open behind him but stopped when a familiar hand was placed on his shoulder. Shinohara.

"Juuzou...we've talked about this."

"Heh, sorry sir. Guess I forgot."

Shinohara sighed and took out some bandages from his pocket. He'd begun traveling with them ever since Juuzou was made his subordinate. He knew the boy had gone through so much as a child and that his behavior and antics were just his coping mechanisms.

"What am I gonna do with you?"

When the evening was over, they all said their goodbyes and went their own ways, leaving only Amon and Kureo alone.

"Mr.Mado?"

"Hm?"

"I want to track down Fueguchi's daughter and the Eye Patch ghoul. This all needs to end..."

"I couldn't agree more, which is why I've had my eyes and ears out for information and it seems we've gotten quite the bit of it."

"So, what do we do first?"

"Heh, we head to little cafe called Anteiku. Apparently it serves ghouls and humans alike which means we can't attack in broad daylight or anything. The owner really had a grand idea when he opened the place. But it doesnt matter, soon we'll have the girl and all her little friends too."

"Right."

This was it, soon he'd have answers or a corpses and to be honest he was fine with either.

"Just you wait Eye Patch...I'm coming for you."
