I followed the taxi she was in from the rooftops. My breaths came out in fast pants as I struggled to keep up. But I couldn't stop or slow down even if I wanted to, and I greatly did. I had seen some interested ghouls watch her go by, most of them perverted looking or seeming to be starved. I couldn't let any of them get to her.

"She's mine," I hissed aloud. I froze and didn't take another step. I was surprised by my own thoughts. My breathing came under control quickly and I smirked under my mask.

Because it was true.

She is all mine.

I thought about this for a moment before I continued my chase after the taxi.

Or, at least, she will be.

Y/n's p.o.v

As the old taxi driver and I neared Anteiku, I felt dread settling in my stomach like a rock.

He pulled up to the curb and parked the cab. We stepped out at the same time and I blushed in embarrassment since he was just about to open the door for me.

But before I could apologize, he was tackled to the ground by a grown man. I held my breath to stay quiet and backed away slowly. I saw what was attached to the man's back and it took a lot of my willpower not to panic.

I tried to get back into the car, but someone wrapped an arm underneath mine and grabbed my chin, pulling me back into them and away from the car. I screeched and struggled against them, but it did nothing. I tried to reach my knife, but it was out of my reach and they continued to hold me fast.

"Well, aren't you a pretty one?" he whispered in my ear. He then ran his tongue along my jaw, making me cringe, whimper, and cry out more. I didn't want to die like this to some nasty ghoul, yet it seemed more and more like I was about to.

"Hey!" the other ghoul yelled. "I want to have some fun with her too!"

"Get your filthy hands off of her!" a feminine voice shouted.

A small figure wearing a white rabbit mask stepped out of Anteiku. She was followed by a black haired boy with a black mask that covered most of his face, except for one eye.

"Or what, little missy?" What would you do?"

She snatched the hand that covered my mouth by the wrist and began squeezing until I heard his joints popping and his other arm released me with a yelp. I fell to the ground and scrambled away on hands and knees as I heard his bones beginning to break and him scream in agony. Then she round-house kicked him in the head and sent him flying down the alley. The other ghoul followed in terror by the work of the masked boy.

The girl with the white rabbit mask turned to me. "Come on. Come with me."

I slowly backed away from her and frantically tried to get in the car again. I knew what she was, and I knew I had to get away. She may have killed those ghouls just so she could eat me. The driver lay next to the car dead, so I was determined to drive it myself. But the next thing I knew, fingers were tangled into my hair and my head was slammed against the car. And as quick as lightning, my vision faded to black.

Ayato's p.o.v

"Fuck, Touka!" I yelled. "You didn't have to try to kill her!"

I jumped down from the roof and landed roughly, falling onto my hands and knees. That didn't go according to plan. I kneeled there and hid behind a parked car. Both her and the boy seemed to be stunned and intrigued by her, and it was most likely because of the scent of her blood that I could smell from across the street. But if I could smell it from here, then ghouls nearby could too.

I silently willed them to get her out of the street, but they continued to stand there, as if in a daze. I huffed and picked up at rock. I threw it at the taxi and it bounced off the rim of the wheel with a sharp ting. This snapped them out of their trance. Then they picked her up and hurried her into the cafe with the boy's jacket tied around her bleeding head.

I slinked across the street and into the alley towards the cafe's basement door. Some ghouls stood to challenge me, sensing that I was injured and would be easier prey. I hissed a warning at them and they backed away. Then I quietly let myself into the small coffee shop's basement and locked it behind me to be sure none of them would follow me in.
