Chapter 23: Death of Ken Kaneki

Chapter 23: Death of Ken Kaneki
A/N: This is a short one.

A week after the 20th Ward Raid........
The hospital where Kaneki was placed in was filled with activity. Especially outside the operating room.
"What did they say?"
"Not sure. He may never have his memory recovered, but considering the regeneration speed of Rinkaku ghouls is remarkably fast, he may be able to retain certain aspects."
Arima stood there looking through the window while Akira sat next to Kaneki's bed holding his hand. She had fallen asleep an hour ago. Next to Arima was Touka. Arima had told her he held no aggression towards her or Kaneki's friends.
"Will he remember us?" Nishio asked while Hinami rested on his shoulders sleeping.
"In time. The doctors said he would still retain certain aspects of Kaneki's personality. That's the best we can go for." Arima confessed.
The group heard a gasp as they saw Akira looking at Kaneki's form as he held her hand.
"He will need a new name." Arima stated with regret.
"Do you have one?"
"He's had several in his career. I'll pick one out."

A month later......
Akira stood in front of her father's gravestone. She sighed before she heard the sound of footsteps. She turned around and had to physically restrain herself from gasping. He stood there in a white investigators coat. His hair was longer and tied in a pony tail on the back of his head while a few bangs hung over his forehead. He gave a gentle smile and bowed respectfully.
"Investigator Haise Sasaki, reporting." He said formally. Akira sighed, but smiled anyway.
"Give your reports while we walk." She said. Haise smiled and nodded.
"I've just finished picking out the members of the new squad. Quinx. I was told to have you review them before they go under the operation." He said. Akira read the files as they walked towards the CCG HQ.

Haise's mind........
In his mind was a room where a figure in a black coat trained with a bladed kagune. His black hair swished with the air as he turned to Haise who was watching with smile. The figure smiled and sat down on a couch.
"In time, Haise, we'll get our memories back." He assured while Haise smiled on the chair opposite of him.
"You never really told me your name." He pointed out while the figure chuckled.
"We'll get to that." The figure said as he looked up revealing the face of Takeshi Arima with a calm smile.
