Tokyo Ghoul: Regina

spy.

We have a traitor.

"OH, COME ON, YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT AMANO HAS ASTHMA?" Naito shouts. "HE BREATHES FINE!"

"I DON'T SOMETIMES!" Amano shouts.
"Yeah, I had to run into his bedroom and grab his inhaler one time." Toyama drinks his can of pop.
"His mom was a hypochondriac, she came over here one day to drop off his Rezilumab." Usui says, flicking through the channels on the tv.

"Rezil-huh?" Amano asks.
"She says you're an idiot." Kishimoto tells him. "OH, SHUT UP, I HAD BETTER GRADES THAT NAITO!" He yells at him.
"Feels nice again." I tell Hide.
"It does, these kids have been through it all." He responds to me.
"Hey, Reina, want a drink?" Arita asks me.
"Black coffee, please." I respond. "Okay!" She shouts as she gets me the drink.
"When have you been so pippy?" Amano asks her.
"I'm just in a happy mood today, am I not privileged to?" Arita says.
"No, it's weird, you haven't called me a twat today."
"Hey, Naito, can you give me that book I lented you back?" Arita asks.
"Almost done with it, so boring." She groans.

"Your mom wanted to give you this when you were older." Marude gives me a book. I open it and find a signature.
"Hayase Washuu, your father." I read out loud. "It's one of his favorite books, collection of stories by H.P Lovecraft." He chuckles. "He liked all that stuff."
"What was my father like?" I ask him.
"He was very independent and creative, his office was filled with colorful pictures he was given by children at the Academy, he would always have patches on his jacket." He says.
"Do we have a photo of him?" I asked.
"He looked like his father, but you always looked like him, he had lively eyes and dark black hair, unfortunately, we don't really have photos of him anymore, it's lost in the library." He says. "He wept tears of joy when you were born, because he wanted a daughter to cherish his five year old son."
"Why did my father take the name Marude?" I ask.
"He despised the Washuu Clan, his father was very harsh on him due to his rebellious attitude." He replied. "He wanted to have his own family, but it got him killed when they found out he changed his last name and moved away." He gets up.
"I'm saving Haruki." I quickly said. "I want my brother back."
"That's going to be a hard mission to complete, he's a rogue one."
"I don't care, he's my brother, and I need him."

I get out of the shower and I comb my hair, which makes me notice a big patch of white hair.
"I really should dye this." I tell myself. I get dressed into a blue button up shirt and black pants with boots and I leave the bathroom. I get to the living room and see Kaneki, nervous, and everyone else is anxious. "What's wrong?" I ask confused.
"One of our investigators was murdered." Kishimoto says, getting up.
"How, who would do that, was it a ghoul?" I ask. "No signs of ghoul remains on him, might be a human." Usui informs.
"You're thinking it was another investigator?" I question.
"We may have a traitor on our hands." Hide says.
"All of us will be interrogated and questioned." Naito gets and drinks her water.
"A traitor, that's weird." Amano says. "Who would do something like that, going behind your back?"
"Amano, what the hell?" Toyama scolds him.
"You never really understand backstabbing, you came from privilege." Amano tells him.

"You okay?" Hide asks me as I look through the slaughtered investigator's apartment.
"Reminds me of my father, he was silenced like this guy." I smirked oddly. "Look at this, files of many investigators." I showed him, pointing to a stack of papers.
"Son of a bitch was hiding something, killing him thought he would be off the grid." Naito looks. "Overkill, look at the blood on the walls." Hide points.
"Guess he was really ticked, but why?" I ask.
"It's sloppy." Naito scratches her head.
"The suspect isn't a tough investigator, he is just a wimp."
"Who the hell would be this weak, it would have to be someone small."

"It's bullshit!" I shout at Mabuchi.
"Arita wouldn't do something like that, she's seventeen and small!"
"She's on the top of our list, I'm just asking the questions and writing it down." Mabuchi responds.
"You really believe that shit, also, what makes you think Kei would do that, he's an intelligence peacemaker, he never fights." I told my arms.
"We seriously think Arita might do it, why, you're the leader of the squad." Mabuchi wipes his glasses.
"Kid is too weak to do it, she couldn't even aim a gun right."
"Never know, I feel bad for you, Reina, after all these years you'd get smarter." He writes. "I do have another suspect, but this is just up to me and Marude's suspicion." He hands me the list of suspects, and I see Kei's name on it. To be fair, he has been acting a little weird.
"Kei is the smartest person in the building besides Usui, he probably could have a hitman or done it himself." I mumble as I looked through my papers.
"I'm talking to him." I leave the room. I take two guns that I stored in my office drawer under papers, and I hide it in my jacket.
"Mabuchi, keep this between me and you, I need to tell you something." I tell him.

"Want a drink?" Kei hands me a bottle of wine. We're currently in the upper part of the building's bar. "Let me pour you a drink." He pours some wine into my glass. "I got this from a friend of mine, he's a good help." He smiles. "Poor Arita, she must be tired from all this spectulation." I take a sip of my drink, but it tastes bitter.
"She's a smart kid, she likes you, ya know?" He looks at me.
"I like you too, I guess." I joked with him. "Your hair looks nice." He says.
"I can't help it, it's getting white and I'm not sure." I look at it.
"That Kishimoto kid too, he looks unrecognizable when I first met him, he got so big." He smiles. "Oh, you know he likes Arita, he would die for her..." He says quietly.
"Why do you keep talking about them, you got some weird obsession with my squad, Kei?" I question him.
"Oh, Toyama, too bad he hides too much secrets, probably wants to murder his parents because he likes men, oh and Amano and Usui, two naive kids-"
"Stop talking about my team, please." I ask him, raising my voice.
"Sorry, I speak outloud sometimes." He says. "You're so strange." I laughed.
"About that investigator, wasn't he divorced?" He says.
"Too bad he died." I mumbled. "He had children, but his wife doesn't let him see them." I tell him.
"Hey, Kei, I'm a bit intrigued, you're never this talkative, you're only talkative when you're nervous." I ask him.
"Something you want to tell me?" 

"Nothing, you are discovered to be a Washuu, a murder, it's like everyone is going mad." He smirks.
"I'm gonna get going." I tell him as I get ready to leave his office.
"You forgot something." He tells me. I check my jacket; my gun's not there.
"You tried to kill me, didn't you?" He smiles manically.
"Can't a girl protect herself these days?" I asked him. I pull out my other gun and I shoot his forehead, which makes him fall at the floor.
"You are a nasty man. Kei." I fall to the floor.
"Thought I died?" Kei says, getting up. He has a bullet hole in his forehead. He's a ghoul
"You finally found out, took a short amount of time, like a shitty story with fast pacing, you fucking whore." He laughs.
"OH, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I run as I start to shoot him. I run out of the hallway and run into another person.
"Woah, a hot lady!" Some guy with red hair says.

"Calm down Satoru, Kei brought us a really nice one." His friend says, coming up.
"Erik, come on!" I know these two, they were the kids I spied on. It's an ambush by Oslo, they aren't finished with us. They didn't want the arc to be over.
"Kei, I want some wine!" Satoru trots down the hallway, as my vision is getting blurry.
"Not that one, I drugged it." He says.
"Woah, the hot lady is starting to get blurry, night night." I hear before I faint.
