Later that day, the manger asked Touka to take Himika to get a mask, and possibly bring Hinami along if she wants to come.

Touka knocked on Himika's door, hearing the quiet chatter from the two girls.

"It's open!" The bright voice of Hinami called out.

"I'm coming in." Touka replied before opening the door and walking in.

Touka walked over to Himika's bed and sat down between the two girls.

"What's up Touka?" Hinami asked.

"Mr. Yoshimura told me to take Himika to go get fitted for her mask." Touka answered. "He also said that you could come if you wanted to Hinami."

"I want to come!" Hinami exclaimed.

"Then go put on your disguise." Touka said, pushing Hinami towards the door.

Hinami quickly rushed out of the room to get ready. Himika stood up from her seated position on her bed and adjusted her scarf, also taking time to check that her sound headband was still tightly tied around her waist like a belt.

"I've been meaning to ask," Touka said, catching Himika's attention. "What is that strange thing you're using as a belt?"

"It's a long story," Himika sighed. "But the short version is; in my dimension everyone was organized into villages, a headband that could be worn anywhere, was used to show loyalty to you're village. The headband I'm using as a belt is the symbol for Otogakure, the village hidden in the sound, but that isn't the village I was from originally. Although everything is still really fuzzy and hard to recall..."

That brought a new thought to Himika's mind.

"Do Jutsus work here?" She mumbled to herself.

"What are Jutsus?" Touka asked.

"They are basically elemental attacks using chakra, which is your body's spiritual and physical energy combined." Himika replied simply. "Kaneki and I were able to do almost any jutsu with a little practice."

Touka only gave a puzzled look.

"Let me see if I can show you." Himika said.

She tried her hardest to remember the hand signs she had learned and her few weeks at the academy. She quickly did the hand signs.

"Clone jutsu." Himika said, helping herself to remember.

She smiled a little when she heard the satisfying 'poof'. She looked over and her grin widened when she saw two replicas of herself.

"That," Himika exclaimed. "Is a jutsu."

Touka gaped at the clones and reached out to touch them, but the moment her hand touched them, they dispersed in a cloud of white smoke.

"They're only illusions." Himika said. "I never learned to create solid clones because I never used ninjutsu much."

"Still, that's freaky." Touka said.

Himika shrugged and was going to reply, but the door swung open.

"Ready to go!" Hinami exclaimed as she burst into the room.

"I'm ready as well." Himika agreed, tightening her scarf and flipping her hood up.

"Alright then let's go." Touka said, giving Himika a quick glance saying, 'we will continue this later.'

The three girls left Antieku together and began heading to what Himika could only assume was a mask maker's shop.

They hadn't walked long, and already they had come to a slightly darker part of the city. Touka led them down the darker street until they stopped in front of a staircase, leading down to a black door. Touka went down first and opened the door for them, pushing them lightly inside.

"Uta!" Touka called.

Himika began wandering around the shop admiring the various masks that hung on the walls or stood on pedestals.

"Uta!" Hinami yelled out.

"Where the hell is he?" Touka mumbled.

Himika continued to wonder around the seemingly abandoned shop until she came across a pedestal that had something covered by a sheet on top.

Curiosity definitely got the better of her when she made the split second decision to pull the sheet off. Once the sheet was pulled off she was staring into red and black eyes again.

"Boo."

"Boo?" Himika repeated, clearly confused.

"That wasn't the reaction I was hoping for." The man squatting on the pedestal sighed before getting off. "Kaneki got really scared."

Himika was going to ask what happened to Kaneki, but Touka interrupted.

"Uta!" Touka exclaimed. "There you are."

"What can I do for you?" The man named Uta asked.

"The girl you were trying to scare needs a mask." Touka replied, pointing at Himika.

"Alright, take a seat." Uta said, pointing at a stool.

Himika sat down as Uta began gathering tape measures.

"So, what's your name?" Uta asked as he unrolled a take measure.

"Himika." She replied.

"So Himika, are there any boys you like?" Uta asked.

Himika was confused as to what these questions had to do with mask making, but replied anyway.

"Not really, I had one friend I was really close with but I'm having a hard time remembering him." She replied.

"I see," Uta hummed. "You seem like a serious person."

"I guess I am kind of serious." Himika sighed.

"Can I make your mask weird if I want to?" He asked.

"I suppose, you're the one making it." Himika said with a shrug.

Uta paused what he was doing to pop an eyeball into his mouth, he glanced at Himika before picking another one up and offering it to her.

"Thanks." Himika said, accepting the snack and putting it in her mouth.

"What about the eyepatch?" He asked. "You want to stick with it?"

"I don't care." She replied. "I feel like eyepatches mean a lot to me, but I can't exactly remember why."

"Alright." Uta said, going back to writing measurements.

After Uta placed his pen down he closed his note pad and stood up again.

"Well I'm done with the measurements. I'll give Mr. Yoshimura a call when the mask is done." Uta said.

"Bye Uta!" Hinami said as they walked to the door.

"Bye." Himika said.

"Bye, see you all in a few days." Uta replied.

The girls left the shop together and Touka led the way back through the darkening streets of Tokyo.

"We should hurry, it's getting dark." Touka warned, speeding her pace. "We don't want to run into any Doves."

"Yeah, let's get going." Himika agreed, Hinami nodding her head.
