"Where the fuck have you been?!" Himika raors, making Hinami and Kentaro flinch.

"Look Himika, I'm sorry, but we can talk about this later." Kaneki calmly replied. "I came here to help Koma and Irimi."

Himika's clone stepped out from behind him and shrugged.

"I couldn't really stop him. We need the help." The clone explained.

"Whatever, just go stand watch outside." Himika sighed.

Normally Kentaro would laugh at Himika literally arguing with herself, but he was terrified of the newcomer.

The boy, Kaneki, approached Koma first, laying his hands on Koma's bleeding side. His hands glowed with a pale greenish blue light as he moved them along the injuries, slowly healing the large wound on his side.

Hinami and Kentaro sucked in a breath while Himika clenched her teeth.

"You know medical ninjutsu?" She hissed out.

"Yes, I learned a bit of it just before we got sucked back here." He replied, moving to heal Irimi's injuries and not looking away.

"Do you have any idea how worried we were?!" Himika yelled, something burning out of her eyes. "Do you have any idea how much we all cared!?"

"What do you mean cared?" Hinami asked.

"I recently stopped caring about him." She answered.

Kaneki stood up and finally turned to face them, a small smile on his face.

"Good for you, Himika." He said.

Himika twitched, a hurt look on her face. "What?"

"You relied too much on me." He smiled.

Himika's face contorted into rage. "That's why you left?!"

"That's only part of the reason." He explained. "I've got to go."

He turned and left. A part of Himika wanted to chase after him and drag him back to Antieku, but she stayed rooted to the spot.

A cough was heard off to the right and their heads snapped to Koma, who was waking up, along with Irimi.

"Was that Kaneki?" Irimi huffs tiredly.

"Yes, it was." Hinami replied for the now silent Himika.

"And you have a... Human with you?" Koma asked.

"Long story short, this is my informant." Himika spat, still bitter.

"Calm down Himika." Hinami said, a little more bite in her voice.

"Sorry," She sighed. "I'm being rude."

Kentaro rolled his eyes.

Hinami crawled over to Irimi and Koma. "How are you feeling?"

"Better." Irimi and Koma sighed.

"That's good!" Hinani smiled.

They would have continued chatting, but a bright flash and the electric sound of lightning interrupted; followed by the sound of a scream.

"Seems like my clone has been destroyed." Himika said, turning towards the broken window. "We have a visitor. Stay here."

"No way!" Hinami pouted. "I can help you!"

"Maybe I could help too?" Kentaro shrugged.

"How?" Himika asked both of them.

"I'm stronger than before." Hinami replied.

"I may know something about whoever's outside?" Kentaro answered.

"Let's go then," Himika said, heading to the broken window. "Just don't complain if you die."

"But, I'd be dead." Kentaro mumbled.

"Even better, let's go."

Kentaro chuckled nervously and followed after them. They climbed through the window and were greeted by a particular investigator, who is.... Questionable in their techniques.

"What a pleasant surprise!" Mado cackled. "The Kunoichi Ghoul and the one that got away!"

His eyes shifted from the two girls over to Kentaro, who's head was wrapped in a red scarf.

"Another ghoul perhaps?" He asked.

None of them replied.

"Well I suppose it doesn't matter." He sighs. "Not reporting ghouls in punishable by death anyway!"

Kentaro flinched and backed up.

"You'll be fine." Hinami smiled through her mask at him. "We'll keep you safe."

"Hate to say it, but I couldn't just let you die here. I may joke about it, but in the end I'd save your ass." Himika scoffed.

That was about as touching as she was going to get. But it's the thought that counts.

"Thanks." Kentaro smiled.

"Now that's out of the way, let's begin!" Mado exclaimed, clicking the button on his briefcase.

Hinami's knees shook. She'd seen the weapon before, but it still traumatized her.

"Isn't it nice to see your papa again?" He grinned.

Hinami just glared at him, still shaking.

Himika clicked her tongue once in annoyance before taking off at record speed. She brought her leg up to kick, but was intercepted by his quinque. She pushed off of it and rushed in again, this time releasing her kagune.

Two tendrils shot at him, grabbing his quinque and squeezing. The quinque came to a halt.

"My, my, quite strong aren't you?" He chuckled.

Himika responed by sending the two other appendages at his chest, which were blocked by the weapon, the end darting back around to intercept. The two forces battled against each other until they eventually pushed away, sending Mado sliding back the furthest.

They nimbly lept away from each other, staring down their opponent.

Seeing that Himika wasn't getting anywhere, Hinami stepped forward, glancing back at Kentaro.

"Don't get hit." She warned, a grin on her face.

Her eyes turned black and blood red as she turned to face Mado. Giant cream coloured wings sprouted from her back, along with two bone like tails which pulsed red. The wings resembled a butterfly, each wing having a glowing red eye, along with each segment on her tails.

Kentaro couldn't help but gasp. "Beautiful..."

Hinami spluttered into her fist, but tried to ignore him, stepping into the fight to aid her friend.

"And so their was two," He laughed. "Key word being was!"

He lunged at them with a crazed grin, winding back his arm and striking. Hinami's wings moved to block it, making an opening for Himika. She jumped in, and with the percision of a surgeon, landed a precise slash to his knee, effectively crippling him. Mado stumbled back a few steps, but never stopped grinning.

"That tickled." He giggled.

"Hurry... Up!" Hinami panted, her grip slipping as she flailed her twin tails around.

Himika raered back all four of her purple tentacle like appendages and her face contorted into a look of determination.

"I'm not going to rely on anyone anymore!"

The sickening sound of flesh being peirced graced their ears, as Himika's kagune speared through his torso. Hinami's wings fanned out, making sure they blocked Kentaro's view.

"Himika, could you.... Get rid of him?" Hinami quietly said.

"P-please..." Kentaro agreed, a cold sweat covering his face.

He slowly unwrapped the bloody scarf from around his neck.

"All I can smell is blood..." He shivered.

"Give me a minute." Himika replied, wrinkling her nose at him. "I'm a little hungry, but I'm not that desperate."

"You should find something to eat..." Hinami said. "Especially because of what happened last time."

Himika paused, still holding the body's legs. "Last time?"

"At Tsukiyama's..." She cringed.

"Oh." Himika replied. "That wasn't a dream."

Hinami just nodded and Himika got back to work, disposing of the body. Normally she'd eat him or burn the body to ashes. However, one detail bothered her; he wore a wedding ring. His gloves were fingerless, exposing his wedding band.

She dragged the body into an alley and left it there, just in time too. Because yelling came from the direction she'd come from.

"What now?" She groaned, running back towards her group.

A girl covered in bandages and a magenta cloak stood there, a single eye glowing through her bandages.

"Why, hello there."
