The next day started off boring. Y/n had a day off and Touka had went home that morning. She had no work to do for Chika nor for Anteiku, so that meant she had nothing to do.

What normal people would do would be watch TV, draw, write, probably call up a friend or play a game on their phone, but Y/n wasn't normal so fuck that.

Instead, she dressed in her Anubis outfit and got ready to scare the shit out of a few people.

But because she is mature as fuck she has to watch out for the Doves and any other CCG officials.

After she got ready and slipped out through the window of her apartment, she jumped onto the rooftops of other buildings around her. She decided she'd go for a run across the Shinjuku ward.

Doves usually didn't roam around the 4th ward since it's more of a beaten down, bad area. Instead, the Doves focused more on Sumida or Nerima, the 7th and 20th ward. So, in other words, it's the perfect place to play around and fuck with the residents.

She landed on a dumpster, scaring a couple of homeless people. Even homeless people knew who Anubis was, so naturally they'd be scared.

An old man looked at her with fear in his blue eyes. His skin was aged and tender. His left eye seemed to be blind and he lost his right hand, leaving a stub covered in a very thin, patchy, cloth.

Y/n smirked under her mask as the idea of ripping the man apart right in front of the others. Unlike him, the other were younger and would be harder to tear apart, and much faster runners (not that she couldn't easily catch up).

Her eyes turned black as her stomach rumbled. Her black rinkaku appeared on her back and her senses sharpened, mouth watering. By the looks on the people's faces, they knew what was coming.

The youngest one, a girl no older than 15, screamed loudly as Y/n ripped off the old man's arm, earning a satisfying scream from him. The man yelled at the other two to run for it.

Stupid decision.

Y/n wrapped on of the tendrils from her rinkaku around the 15 year old and held her tight. The other homeless person, who looked to be the mother of the girl, screamed, "Yui!"

Y/n suddenly remembered something from her past. It flashed through her mind for a second, but it felt like an eternity to her.

She remember her mother being taken away from her, at the age of 10, by Doves. She remembered how her father blamed it on her and cast her out on the streets. She made a living by pickpocketing and eating other unfortunate homeless people. It wasn't until she was 19 when she made the name Anubis and created a living with Chika.

She slowly set the girl down a few feet away from her mother and stood up straight. She held the man'a arm tightly in her left hand, eyes watching the ground.

She didn't notice the sound of police alarms until she felt a bullet go through her arm. Hissing, she covered her arm and sprinted on top of a building.

She kept running and running. A feeling of discomfort formed in her chest as her stomached ached with a sick feeling. "Why do I feel this way?" she asked herself as she crouched down in an ally way.

Her mouth started to salivate as her eyes began to water. Next thing she knew, she threw up on the concrete ground, her stomach feeling bruised from the inside when she was done.

She wiped her mouth and groaned. She slipped her mask back on and stood up, ready to return home to take care of her new found sickness.

But that wasn't what the man behind her had planned.

Taking advantage of her state of weakness, she was struck on r head with something hard. She fell to the floor again, her eyes watching the black spots dance in her vision before being consumed by them.

She woke up with her head pounding. When she looked up, she found herself in the center of an arena, on the floor, next to kaneki. She could hear that ass Tsukiyama laugh in the background, making her headache even worse.

She shakily stood up and took a look around her. She, Anubis, was captured in the easiest way possible.

That was a little embarrassing.

She took a look at Kaneki to notice him staring right at her, eyes full of fear. She smirked and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not going to hurt you, kid."

Kaneki seemed to not change from his tense state, but nodded anyways.

"False," Tsukiyama sang, "you will be fighting each other in a battle of death! The winner gets to join out feast!"

Y/n glared up at Tsukiyama. She replied with a simple, "Fuck you," and a bird in his direction. The purple haired male just laughed even more.

Tsukiyama went on with the whole explanation of the game and that if they didn't play, they'd both die by the hands of Big Madam's henchman.

"Why don't you just come down and fight us yourself?" Y/n taunted, smirking under her mask. She was sure he could sense the cocky attitude from her, and she knew that angered him.

"I don't get my hands dirty with peasants," was his response. Okay, that kinda pissed Y/n off.

"Then fight us, because I assure you we're not peasants." An idea then flashed in her head. "You know, I think you're too scared to fight me."

Tsukiyama's smirk fell and was replaced with a look of anger. "Nonsense!" he replied.

Y/n smirked. She found what got on his his nerves. "Oh, yeah! You're scared to fight a well-known ghoul like me. If you need to be reminded, I did kill over 100 agents in the CCG, freed over 90 captured ghouls that were worth a damn, and can juggle a normal life on top of that."

That just pissed him off even more.

The crowd booed as Madam Big's henchman, that giant guy, jumped into the arena on Tsukiyama's signal.

Y/n hopped over his first attack, which was a simple ambush. She then proceeded to use her rinkaku to stab him through the chest, earning a growl from him and a boo from the crowd.

Tsukiyama jumped down in the ring himself, ready to battle.

This was going to be fun

Omg I'm sorry for leaving on a cliff, but it's 1:37am and I have school today XD Sorry

Sorry this is kinda (a lot) off from the anime. Like I said, it'll still follow the storyline in its own way. If I could get my hands on the manga it'd be much easier XD

Anyways, have a good day!
