"Who are you and what the HELL do you think you're doing!?" Nishiki shouted.
The crazy ghoul drop the shaking old man, finding Nishiki more interesting ( more threatening ). He attack him.
The ghoul was very fast and wild that Nishiki found himself struggling just to avoid its incoming kagunes.
« Damn! No matter how many I cut it down, they regenerate again. And the regeneration rate is too fast. Damn those kaguja.»
Just in a few minutes, he realizes he can't continue any longer and he try to flee.
But the ghoul's kagunes puncture his stomach and with those still buried in his it drag him closer.
The ghoul was really deranged as he keep whispering randomly. Sometimes about the crawling centipede in his ears? And sometimes numbers. But the strangest thing was that he keep saying sorry that he hurt Nishiki while he was literally licking the blood from his hands.
At that moment, while looking at his soon to be killer's beak-mask covered face, Nishiki realize that he's still not strong enough to protect even himself.
But before the ghoul deliver the final killing blow, someone shot the ghoul, stealing Nishiki from the ghoul's clutch.
He fell on the ground gracelessly. From his somewhat blurry vision he saw that two newcomer was attacking the ghoul while another one half carry him to a safe distance, attending his injuries. The man above him was talking but Nishiki lose conscious before he can talk.
---------------------------------------------------------
After hearing the ghouls slaughtering and the rumoured ghoul's killer centipede from others ward, Quzin Yoshimura search to testify it when he notice the similar occurrences in 10th ward. After sometimes, while following the trail of blood and leftover body parts, he found the predator who is about to kill a young male.
«Nishiki Nishio ?»
The centipede kakuja was really strong and fast. But it was inexperience.
The kaguja try to escape when he realized that he can't win against Yoshimura's Owl form. However Renji Yomo block his way and counterattack him. It took sometimes but finally the centipede was defeated.
Renji was about to kill him but Yoshimura stop him before he can. He can't even answer Renji's questioning look to him. Because Yoshimura stunned looking at one silver eye beside the red one. A one-eye ghoul! Who is also a child, hardly a teenager .
The ghoul, now he know as a young boy after his beak like mask retreated, is whispering while rocking himself.Most of his words
were “Sorry” and plead like:
“Help me please. I don't want to eat anymore”
Yoshimura see that even Renji was shock at those words. Renji hesitate a little before he carefully close the distance between him and the boy. Even with many injuries and blood loss, the boy is like a scared injured wild animal. Before the boy can react he hit the boy's head, knocking him out.
“ So, what should we do?” Renji asked. Question is simple ‘kill’ or ‘not kill’.
Yoshimura look at the boy, thinking for a while then he said.
“ We'll bring him back to Anteiku ”
Renji look stunned then he declared “ You can't be serious! This boy is dangerous. He's a kaguja.We can't bring him to Anteiku. Many lives could be in danger. Touka could be in danger.”
“ But we can't just leave him here” Enji Koma who was attending Nishiki's wound voice his thought.
“ Why not. We can just kill him here and hide his body.” Renji stated.
“ Renji.”
“ Why? Is it because he's a one eye ghoul? Just because he is one doesn't mean - ”
Yoshimura interrupted before Renji can finish.
“ Don't you also think the boy behavior is strange? Not only his words but also his fighting. He had strength and speed. But he didn't even know how to use them properly. We need to find out more before we make final decision. ”
Renji looks frustrated. He sigh before he finally admit.
“ Fine. I guess you had a point. But he's not going to Anteiku. I'm going bring him with me. My place is more secured ”
“ But are you sure you can handle_”
“ Please, I'm capable of handling a boy who looks even younger than Touka for a couple of hours. ” Renji said to Koma while lifting the boy up.
“ Fine. I'll come to your location as soon as I can. First we are going to bring Nishiki-kun to Anteiku for medical help,” Yoshimura glance at the unconscious boy on Renji's shoulder who is already starting to heal.
“ OK then, let's move out before someone notice. ”
