ON HOLD - The King and Queen - Tokyo Ghoul [Arima x OC]

Chapter 9 Complicated

Misaki POV

When I finally arrived at the base Ayato was already waiting for me and sighed. "You're late." I rolled my eyes at him and shrugged. "You're just early." I grinned. He mumbled something that I couldn't quite understand and we walked inside to where the rest was. Shortly after Eto approached me "Misa-chan I want you to join and lead the mission involving the auction tomorrow evening" she told me. I raised an eyebrow for a moment, I was not too sure what she was talking about, I did know about the auctions in Zeum Hall where they would pretty much kidnap people and sell them, but I didn't know about a mission. "It's to protect and ensure the safety of Big Madame and the attendants, but also for the plunder of the CCG quinque steel." She explained to me, clearly noting my visible confusion. Now I knew what was going on and nodded. "Who else will be there?" "Hmm.. Ayato-kun's team, Naki-san's team and I think Miza-san's team, too... I think." Eto mumbled, sometimes visibly having to think for a moment. "All right, count me in. I could use a little action, I'm starting to get rusty." I grinned. "Thank you, Misa-chan !" she spoke and I could see a smile behind the bandages before she took off again. I went up to the roofs of the building where I found Ayato. I jumped up to the spot where he was sitting and joined him, looking up at the beautiful night sky as well. "So we're playing bodyguards tomorrow" I joked and it seems I managed to get a laugh out of him. "I guess so, just don't make me body guard you." he joked back and I turned to look at him, making a fake shocked face. "You? body guarding me? When did that ever happen? I think it's always been the other way around, Ayato. Maybe you finally got hit the winning hit on the head!" I teased him and we both laughed. After a few moments he eventually got up "Good night, Misaki, I'll see you tomorrow, don't be late again." I laughed and shook my head. "Don't worry I'll try to not to be too late, good night." I decided to stay a little longer as this place had always been my go to spot when I had something on my mind or whenever I just wanted some peace and quiet with a nice view. "The stars are beautiful tonight huh?" I suddenly heard someone say next to me, causing me to instantly look into the direction of where the voice came from and saw Eto standing next to me. "They are" I looked back at the stars again, they were indeed beautiful. "So what's on your mind that's bothering you, Misaki?" She sat down next to me and looked up at the sky as well, dangling her legs over the edge of the roof. I wondered if I should tell her or not, falling for a CCG investigator and going on a date with them sure was bound to make for a very interesting conversation.. I sighed and decided to tell her about the situation, I trusted her and well she had a very strong and sharp intuition, especially in reading people, so she would probably end up figuring it out sooner or later anyways. "I met someone." She instantly turned to look at me "Oh is Misaki in love?" She teased me and I smiled for a moment, wondering if I was indeed in love, I hadn't actually thought about that yet.. "I don't know to be honest, I don't actually know how I feel.. I haven't thought about it so much, it's... complicated I guess." She smiled "I guess they're human, but with how much it's bothering you.. I guess it's a bit more complicated than just a human. They work for the CCG?" I stared at her in surprise, how in the world did she just figure that out so easily?! I simply nodded and she leaned back, looking at the sky once more. "Who is it?" "Arima.. Arima Kishou" she chuckled softly. "Of course. Well you know Misaki, he is with us." He is with us? What exactly did she mean with that, was he our ally or something? "I'm not sure if I told you, but have you ever heard of the mysterious One-eyed king? Arima is one of us, he's our ally and works with us in secret. However that doesn't change the fact he is still a special class investigator for the CCG, so it's still extremely dangerous and if I have to be honest.. I would not risk it, it's a death wish.. I'm sorry, Misaki." She said with a sincere apologetic look. I nodded, she was right and I knew that, However, I had never expected to hear what I just heard, he was one of us? I sighed and laid back on the concrete, as even more thoughts haunted my mind, but one in particular.. was I in love with Arima?
