My Precious [Kaneki x Reader]

Chapter 38 - Speechless

(Y/N)'s POV:

"Get ready to move (Y/N)..!" Miza ordered as her voice forced me to break my eye-contact with Juuzou as he also averted his gaze to her, but his gaze went from kind to annoyed in an instant as his eyes fell upon her. 

"I don't think so, I was sent here to pick her up and pick her up I shall." He said with a psychotic smile as he unfolded his quinque and it immediately transformed into a scythe-like mine, but his was more dent than mine where my scythe has a more smooth blade. Miza immediately forced her kagune out as the crowd around us now understood what was happening and immediately started to panic and ran in all directions. No... Don't hurt each other... I thought and took a step back. 

Miza's kagune was three tentacles like Kaneki's, but hers looked like they were wrapped in metal, making them look a lot more dangerous. Kaneki's kagune is really dangerous too, but looks deceive in his situation. I looked down in my left hand to see the silver suitcase that Miza had brought for me and looked up at Juuzou again.

"You sure that you want to do this miss ghoul?" Juuzou said and smirked at Miza, swinging his giant scythe around elegantly.

"Bring it on, psycho..." Miza growled back at him as she immediately sent all three tentacles forward with incredible speed. Juuzou backflipped a few meters back while dodging Miza's every attack like it was childsplay to him.

"Run for it (Y/N)!" Miza said as she kept her, now black and red eyes, on Juuzou and kept on attacking. I blinked my eyes a couple of times as my legs felt a bit weak, but I then forced myself to turn around and run towards the entrance to the train.

"Oh~?" I heard Juuzou giggle behind me as I looked over my shoulder to see him pierce one of Miza's tentacles with his quinque as he looked at me with a smile.

"Where are you going (Y/N)?" He asked as he immediately had forced his way past Miza before any of us had even noticed him move. He stood right in front of me and kept smiling as always, but his gaze seemed very disappointed and sad to me. I'm going home... I thought as he spoke up again. 

"Don't tell me that you're actually following the orders of this monster..?" He said confused as he gripped my wrist hard and continued to look me in the eyes. She's not a monster... She's a ghoul and there's nothing wrong with that... I found the courage and slowly met his gaze as I put up a facade of emotionlessness, looking him right in the eye. His gaze immediately pierced right through me as I knitted my brows together slightly and continued to look at him. I could see the hurt and confusion in his eyes as he tightened his grip on my wrist, demanding an answer. 

"... I'm sorry Juuzou..." I whispered sadly and made sure not to look away from his eyes. His grip on my wrist loosened and his smile completely disappeared. It was just a moment, but it was more than enough. 

"Get away from her!" Miza suddenly leaped in between us and lounged her kagune harshly at Juuzou forcing him away from me as his smile had immediately returned. Miza quickly pushed me towards the train and looked at me with anger.

"Hurry up god-dammit!" She hissed and sprinted after Juuzou with full speed as their fight continued. I tightened my grip around the handle on my suitcase as I watched them, taking slow steps backward in the direction of the train.

Please don't hurt him Miza... I thought as I looked back at the train as the whistle sounded loudly from it, signaling its departure. Not more than I already have... 

I quickly stepped inside the train as the automatic doors closed right after me. I quickly went to the nearest window and pressed against it as I looked fearful at them. They were fighting more furiously now than before and something seemed off to me.
