Chapter 1: The Black Hole

Kaneki's POV...

It was a fierce battle, between me and this ghoul investigator, whom I had remembered, spared him at our first fight. As usual, during this battle, my goal was to destroy his quinque, as a result in making him defenseless in the process, but he seemed to know what Im after and tried his best to use it well and not let it get destroyed. But that wont stop me from doing it.

'There's alot of wrong in this world..and scum like you are the reason for it all!'

I remember the exact words he told me, but I doubt he can remember what I responded that time at the bridge. Not like he knew anything about me and the other ghouls who've been through alot of hardships.

Amon's POV...

'Ghouls aren't the only things wrong with this world..Its you too..'

I remembered clearly of what he told me that time. But even so, I could not understand him. Normally, Ghouls only cared about killing instead of talking, especially to a CCG investigator. He is one weird ghoul.

With these thoughts, as I looked intently at the ghoul. Something caught my attention. Behind him was a corrupted debris. He looked without turning around to look at it and for some reason, as he sliced it off with his rinkaku. I wondered why he did this and waited to reveal the reason of his reckless actions. As the mist clears, I saw my comrades laying there, behind him with the sliced up object beside them. I gave a shock expression.

He saved them..?

Then, I let out a small smile. But I doubt the ghoul could see it.

Just what are you up to..?

With my heavy quinque lowered due to the sight, my hands ended up shaking them in process. But I finally took my stance to face the ghoul bravely.

What are you even fighting for?

But before I could even find a rational answer, his words shook my thoughts out.

"..If possible, I'd rather not wish to fight you.." he closed his eyes as if having thoughts of his own. Then let out a word, "-However.." No matter how many times I looked at him, I cant even find a slightess mercy in him. Just then, a sudden mist swirled around him. Through my instincts at the sight of it, I took my stance to protect myself. Not knowing what attack he'll use next.

Out of the mist, in high speed, where I could not hope to see it, I saw the ghoul raised a kagune at me, sending me further away from a distance as he succeed in seperating my quinque and breaking them that time. I lay there for a minute, at the cold floor. Thinking. Till I had no choice but to use it.

Kaneki's POV...

I stood there for seconds, waiting for the investigator to stand up. I might have succeeded in breaking his quinque, but that didnt stop him as he stood up holding the said object. As he did, I instinctly readied myself as I watch closely at him. Waiting for his next move.

He looked at it for some time then he press something that made his quinque stood out. It changed. Instead of his usual cylinder like hammer, it turns to a sword like spear. Looking at it with a surprised look, he attacked me with the now new improved quinque in his hands. Attacking it and while defending myself from it, I ended up having a slight slice from my shoulder. I took my hand over to my wound and do a back flip, to distance myself away to regenerate it.

Damn, I have to get rid of him! But it'd be probably best to run without fighting him. And yet, he keeps blocking every possible path for my escape. Eventhough I told him that I dont want to fight him!

Damn it. I have to get out of here!

As this thoughts crossed my mind, I felt my eye go all enraged, like it has a mind of its own. Due to the pain, breathing heavily, I took my hand to my kakugan eye. Pressing it tightly, in hopes to endure the pain or at least cease it a bit longer. But that didnt help anything. My eyes went wide, and in latter screaming my lungs out. I could almost feel myself go numb, and felt something forming near my eyes. I knew this. It was the same thing that happened that time during the Colchea raid.

I lowered myself, as two sets of kagune popped rapidly behind me. I screamed once again. Knowing what could happen next, at this rate, I might go crazy again. But, just then, a flash of memory drifted in my mind as the monstrous mask slowly formed at my face. The memory, of what I saw was during the time at the Colchea raid.

'That's all ,right? You're just an ordinary ghoul, right!?'

Amon's POV...

I stood there from mare minutes, as it took a turn of my enemy. The ghoul, aka, Eyepatch, was just screaming awhile ago, not to mention, forming another two sets of kagune behind him. But what I dont want to know was that same kagune mask. Remembering the time that day, he was impossible to capture and he even almost killed Shinohara sensei! Yet, fighting him at the same time, puts a shivers down my spine. I also almost felt like I died there. But for some reason, he turned back to his original form. He even cried that time.

The roaring screams echoed to where I stood, as Eyepatch was almost reaching his limit. His yell wasnt normal the least, it was like a crumbled feelings mixed together: Pain, Fear, Anger and Lust. Observing Eyepatch from afar, the last scream was heard, then followed a humane breaths at the end. Expecting to fight the rampant ghoul. Which I knew was called a Kakuja. Instead, the same face, faced me bravely.

Not knowing what to do in this situation, Eyepatch caught me off guard. Attacking me from afar, his still aiming at my new improved quinque.

Still the same, huh?

Kaneki's POV...

As things go on, with having four sets of kagune, I had no choice but to use my other two sets kagune, to push myself from midair and attacking him one by one with all the strength I have, as one of my advantages, to end this endless fight. Thats what I thought at least, but it seemed to got the wrong result.

We both fought bravely and have the equal abilities to compete eachother. Yet, every time we attack one another, we both equally share the instincts to dodge it. Though, we both mostly ended up with slight bruises and small wounds.

With heavy up and down breathes, I felt myself tired, after defending myself equally at my opponent. The same to that CCG investigator. We both were drained at the process. Sharing the same instincts to rest a minute, the CCG investigator smiled that moment, making me, for some reason, smiled in return. But since I wore a mask, I closed my eyes then opened them in return as a response.

"I really dont wish to fight you" I then said, sitting coldly at the cemented road, staring intently at my opponent, without letting my guard down. The man closed his eyes, "I'm afraid thats unavoidable.." he simply replied, I closed my eyes.

But then, I found myself opening them, as a sudden force fields the air. A hole- no. To make matters worse, its a black hole. It stood there proudly, sucking everything near a radius and we seemed to crossed near it, sucking us both inside the dark abyss.

To this sudden events, I lost the ability to concentrate and drift off to a dreamless sleep.
