I try to punch the man in his face. He avoids it. I try again and again but I get the same outcome.

"You know...your going to end up exactly like your little friend... Dead and in the gutter!"

"You can't talk about him like that!" I yell at him and start throwing punches and kicks like crazy

As I'm about to kick him he takes my leg and grabs it. He throws me but I'm still able to land on my feet.

"That's what I wanna see..." The man says

What is he talking about? You know what I don't care... I don't give a rats you-know-what about that right now!

"Heh..." He smiles "I'm gonna make your friends suffer and writhe in pain!

"No!" I yell "Your not gonna be doing anything!"

My anger builds up and spills out of me.

I feel as if something has been lifted off my shoulders... As if I've straightened... As if...I've released something from within me...

Scaly dark purple tentacle like objects emerge and grip the man.

"It's about time you started acting like a ghoul!" He says

Acting like a ghoul?

"I knew that you were a ghoul. It just seemed weird to me that you haven't used your kagune yet..."

That's...me...

"Don't try to change the subject!" I yell and try to tighten my grip on the man. He winces so it must have worked. " ...Your lucky that I'm not like some of the other ghouls... Otherwise you'd be dead already."
