Chapter 5

Bottom of the Chasm

Kaneki stared up at what was above him, the chasm stood so tall that he could see no ceiling, only the darkest black. His mind was so hazy, so disorientated as if he was looking from the view of another. Vaguely, he could hear random cracks and snaps echoing, unable to realise that those came from him, from his body that was cruelly stitching it's limbs back together and mending the shattered bones while painfully wrenching them back into the sockets though he remains oblivious to his state due to his time with Jason 13.

A fall that he just took would kill a normal person, but Kaneki wasn't normal. Bit by bit, Kaneki regained the correct state of mind. He languidly sat up, pushing the splattered carcass of the monster off his own body. He stood up and finished off his regeneration by cracking the arm that had corrected itself at the wrong angle. At the sickening crunch which could make the toughest of men cringe, Kaneki expressed no pain or discomfort, his face was completely void of emotion.

Inside, however, was a different matter. Kaneki wasn't mad, he was livid. He was livid with everything that has happened since he came to this world. He was ripped away from everything and everyone he knows by some diabolical madman who wants to conquer the whole universe, an ultimately unoriginal plan which almost every villain has, he is in the lair of said madman, but is unable to get revenge due to priority over the pixies, this f***ing monster prevented him from rescuing Brandon by jumping on his back like he was a show pony and he heard Stella yelling which most likely meant she jumped after her boyfriend. Worst of all, he couldn't see the both of them which either meant they went off without him or got eaten.

Kaneki wanted to scream, he wanted to yell, curse, fight like a petulant child whose parents refused to buy them a toy. He wanted to release all his anger by slaughtering all the shadow monsters with his kagune, but that was asinine so he settled in releasing his rage into a wall by punching it with all his remaining strength. "GRAAH!" Kaneki cried as the wall shook wildly from the force, rocks and stalactites tumbled to the ground, smashing into pebbles.

Kaneki panted heavily as his rage dissipates, he turns back to the monster before kicking it's tar-like blood to mask his own red liquid. He then touches the back of his shirt and pulls his hand back to find it stained red, he sighs before laying down in monster blood to cover the remnants of his previous injuries. Kaneki shot to his feet when he heard a mysterious clinking sound, he looked around, but the sound echoed everywhere.

"Kaneki! You alright?" Kaneki whips his head up to find Sky, Bloom and Aisha being lowered down by a pinkish rope. 

"Yeah, just fine," Kaneki replies as the trio land safely on the ground.

"I'm so happy you're okay," Aisha's voice quivered as she tried to keep the tears at bay.

"Luckily, when I fell I managed to switch places with the monster so I would land on it, minimising the damage towards me," Kaneki deceives, swiping at his chin.

"You got lucky, that was quite a fall," Sky comments as he looks up.

"You're bleeding!" Aisha gasps.

"Don't worry, it's monster blood," what Kaneki told her wasn't necess a lie.

"Wait!" Bloom gasps, surveying the cave, madly, "where are Stella and Brandon?"

"I didn't see them when I woke up," Kaneki adds.

"Brandon!" Sky yells, his voice echoing through the tunnels.

"Stella! Brandon!" Bloom calls out.

"Hey, look," Aisha points to a mist with two shadowy figures, "there they are."
