Wrath of the Ghouls

3|Anteiku

The One eyed - king and the Glutton has left the Anteiku for now, leaving the Old man and the violet haired girl in a deep thinking state. There was a silence for both of them as the two left the shop. The intimidating and unwavering feeling of old comrade who once lost in the darkness, devoured their memories. His memories, with them hold a little place in their heart that they will never forget.

"He felt, cold. ." the violet haired girl mumbled to her self, not expecting the old man in front of her to reply. But nonetheless she still felt great full to the man.

"Hmm" the old man hummed in response, averting his cold gaze outside the shop - to the streets, where the two powerful one - eyed has left.

"But something's on my mind." Touka replied also averting her gaze outside, her gaze fixed on the beams of the light that reflected the greens of the plants. She felt sad.

"So you too?" The old mans gaze now was fixed on the violet haired girl, his brows raising while his eyes beam in curiosity. The girl looked at her and they locked gaze. Her eyes also showing the wonder and curiosity in them, she just nod in response. "Why - No. What does kaneki want with them" Manager finished his statement with slight amusement in them.

"Ritari - san doesn't seemed she was  interested in them. Although Kouen seemed he was in the aogiri" Touka stated bluntly. Showing a hint of interest at the two.

"He was, I confirmed it a couple of months ago after Rita's capture. He seemed so persistent in rescuing her." Manager said playing with his fingers, intertwining and separating them at his ease.

"Eh?" Touka replied as if she was fazed by the wraths sudden change of heart. Which is rare. "Since when Kouen acted such a good old brother to her?, the last time I saw them together they almost broke the 12th ward just because of food." Touka said, her face plastered with irrigation. Her voice tinted with venom as she remember the occurrence of the past. Ayato was the same. The thought went past her mind, but she quickly shoved it away as it go.

"Well, Kouen wasn't that bad at all. They actually value each other Touka." Manager said with sincerity and a little bit a proudness tinting his voice. "I'm sure Ayato will do the same, if you'll get caught" manager said with one of his warm small smile. Earning a unhappy frown from Touka.

"As if." Her response was short. But it was tinted with sadness and anger, stating that she was not happy at the mention of Ayato.

"HAHA!" a cheering laugh escaped the old mans mouth, as he looked at her with delight. Earning a not so happy Touka in the go.

The petite girl, with pale golden locks and golden taunting eyes that captivates any one who stares at it walks with a Albino boy, with gray steel eyes that is taunting and mesmerizing. Rita walks a few foot away from the one eyed - king, as she hops happily in the streets of Tokyo. Appreciating the beauty of the city especially when its night, the cold breeze of the wind made their walk silent but chilling.

"Kaneki - kun" I spoke so easy, as if my voice was music to kaneki's ears. He stopped and took a glance before me, his still and stoic stare remains the same and the same old charisma makes him look even more taunting. But nonetheless I smile eagerly as I fasten my walk to match his quick strides. "What do you want from me?" I said with my tone as sweet as ever while grinning deviously, my question seemed to taken him back. He took a glance at me before returning his gaze to the streets. He ignored me.

My eyebrows twitch from the lack of attention, my face slowly turn into frown as I match his pace. "Eh? I'm hurt kaneki - kun!" I said while dramatically putting a hand against my chest as if I was dying. "Kaneki - kun just ignored me!, I felt pain." I said still holding on to my chest while frowning like a mad man. Still the great one eyed - king ignored me and continued to walk leading my patience at the edge.

"Ouch he just ignored me twice. I feel like I' will die" I said falling onto my knees, as if it was magic kaneki stopped at his tracks and finally turned around to face me. His stoic expression remains the same but his eyes showed something I cannot distinguish. I furrowed my eyebrows at his reaction, but he didn't seem to notice.

"Eh? Finally gonna talk to me?" I said teasing the guy in front of me. He went and walk up to me, he bent down to match me. On the floor laying helplessly legs spread apart.

"What do you want Ritari?" His cold stern voice, felt nothing like air to me. His boring old voice, I subconsciously said. A light chuckle escaped from my mouth at the that thought. Leaving kaneki thinking.

"I want your love!!" I exclaimed while I raised my hands in the air like a little kid waiting for a hug. But kaneki just stared at me. Making me pout.

"Come on kaneki - kun won't you say  'I wuv u!' " I exclaimed childishly while still holding up my arms. kaneki just sigh.

"Nobody loves you, Ritari " his voice was cold like his expression, those stoic stare burned through my eyes as his words cut deep through me. We both stayed still in our positions, I'm hurt.  and the thought itself is enough to change my happy go lucky expression to darken, my fake goofy smile was being slowly replaced with a frown.

"Fine, if you so want it then be it." I mumbled low, I stood up dusting my dark green dress and so does kaneki. We stood up both facing each other. My ones beaming full of happiness eyes shared the still - stoic stare that kaneki have. My exceptional pretty goofy smile is replaced with a permanent frown. Fine if you so want to, then be it.

"Well, One eyed - king. I just want to let you know that I'll never comply to you." I said with my before sweet, charming voice replaced with venom and coldness in them. I'll show you my true self.

"He? Is this the real you?" Kaneki stated, teasing me lightly.

"Real me?" I asked the great ghoul in front of me as I took a step, closer to him. "Is this really me?" I asked, playing innocently as my before cheeky smile was once again plastered on my face as I lean in him. "Or am I just pretending?" My expression changes into a physchotic smile, my eyes beaming with light. I slowly leaned in his tall height, leaning in his ears. I whispered something that caught his attention. "I'll let you guess Kaneki - kun" my voice as light as ever, my breath tickling his ear. He remained still.

I walked past him following the street path, with a crazy smile plastered on my face. This is going to be fun. I licked my lips as I face behind me, I saw the great Albino standing there and staring back at me.

"Come on kaneki - kun!" I said gesturing him to move forward.

"The aogiri is waiting for the Glutton." My words sends shivers down his spine, breaking his deep thought. The boy stared once again at the petite girl before he started walking once again.

Mysterious, the boy thought as he take at few more steps closer to the petite girl. Waving - signalising him that he should fasten his strides. Hr just looked at her intently, walking silently while smirking lightly to him self.

I like it.
