Shattered Glass | Ayato x Oc x Kaneki |

【7】 - 𝕊aving

Just so you know, I made Ayato a bit older, because him being fourteen would be too weird. Soo...  in this story, he's eighteen, which is also Raven's age. Kaneki is nineteen starting off, in this book.

"🇱ook what you did, Ayato. You knocked her out." Tatara, the red-masked male sighed, pressing his fingers to his head, shutting his eyes. 

"What? she deserved it. She beat me too many times." He shrugs.

"We don't let our pride combine with what we have to do." Tatara scowled.

Ayato only twisted his lips, scowling to himself. 

Eto drooped her head sideways at the unconscious ghoul below her, "she's beautiful though." Even though her face was veiled away by the body wraps that consumed it, Ayato knew Eto was smirking at him knowingly.

 "Oh shut up, Eto." He rolled his eyes after knowing her intentions once Eto directed her gaze on him. Even Tatara smirked under the red mask of iron that hid his mouth. 

"But seriously, Ayato, don't knock out the hostage that we're trying to rank into Aogiri. No, actually, don't even beat her up to satisfy yourself." 

Ayato nearly let his mouth fall in protest. He gestured to nowhere in particular, "you let Jason torture Kaneki!" He protests.

Tatara whipped around to him, "I wasn't aware of that!" he bellowed, surprising Ayato a bit as he backed up. Tatara then sighed, "guess we'll have to wait for her to awaken, thanks to you."

🇰aneki woke up to sunlight greeting him, pouring through his blinds. He rose up in his bed, scratching through his snow-shaded locks. 

"Raven probably slept in, not aware of our custom." He chuckles to himself. "Guess I'll go get her," he stirred out of the comfort of his covers, dressing in the usual Anteiku employee uniform, before exiting his room.

He headed down the hallway, finding himself at Raven's door. His hand made a soft knock. "Raven... it's Kaneki. Are you awake?" 

Receiving no response, Kaneki wasted no time in propping the door open a bit, for his eyes to peer inside the slit to her room. He was surprised to find that her bed was void of her, but not made. Maybe she didn't have the sense to make her bed. 

Perhaps she's downstairs.

He then ventured down to find everyone bustling around, as usual. As his grey orbs scanned the room, everyone was there. Except for Raven that is.

 "Guys, have any of you seen Raven today?" Kaneki asks, keeping his voice calm although his nerves feared the worst.

Touka halted in the middle of her gait, "we figured she slept in." 

"Well, I already checked her room. She's not in there." Kaneki corrects.

 Touka merely frowned, "really? that's weird... Crap! You don't think-" Touka begin to fret, as a realization struck her after some moments.

Kaneki lifted his head a bit more, merely lifting a brow. "That Aogiri took her while we were all asleep and vulnerable? It's possible. Unless she just went for a walk by herself before Anteiku opened, I really doubt that option." Kaneki assumes. 

"Holy shit, Kankei! I think they did, dammit!" Touka freaked, pressing her nails into the sides of her forehead in alarm.

For an unknown reason, Kaneki's heartbeat came to life at an alarming rate, his eyes wide with panic. "I need to go after her," he states, before yanking off his apron, grabbing his onyx coat off the rack, and throwing open the door.
