Preview; Haise and Ayato reunite after a years waiting.

A loud sigh along with a cold exhale of air flooded out into the midnight sky, which eventually faded out into nothing. Dark piercing eyes scanned their surroundings, below and around, before looking up at the night sky. Another sigh followed as the stars twinkled and reflected into those grievous dark eyes that shared the same colour as the sky. Clutching their fist, those eyes shot downwards to the mask they held in their hand, with a deep inhale; they reached up and clasped the mask around their face.

"Oi! Hurry up and go, their already there! The Serpent is distracting them, nows your chance! We're gonna stay back and join later!" A loud booming voice exclaimed causing those dark eyes to roll from annoyance. 'Just shut up moron, I know what I'm doing' they thought before jumping off the rooftop that they were taking watch by and sprinting off into the direction of police sirens and the flashing colours of blue and red.

Their hurried footsteps abruptly stopped, their boots skidding against the floor from the sudden stop. The night sky was lit up by a various number of flashing lights coloured red and blue, police sirens echoing in the city. Narrowed eyes searched around for a particular ghoul and a group of investigators named "The Quinx" and when they finally laid eyes on them, they clutched their fists, their teeth grinding together in annoyance.

They stood back, hiding themselves in the shadows waiting and watching for the right moment to take action. "Ayato-san?.." a soft feminine voice ringed in Ayato's ears, focusing more so on the scene below him, he responded with "What is it Hinami?", "I'm going to tell Nish- The Serpent to retreat, then you can go do your thing." Hinami replied, Ayato only giving a grunt in response. "Are you sure you're going to be okay, I can see Hai-", "Fuck off." Ayato abruptly interrupted before running from to the other side of the roof top to prepare to jump.

'Don't let your emotions get the best of you, don't let everyone see how pathetic you are. He doesn't care anymore so why should you.' Ayato thought in an attempt to comfort himself as he locked eyes with The Serpent. With confirmation through a nod, they two males went off in different directions.

As The Serpent ran off, the investigators "The Quinx" yelled out and ran after him, they briefly stopped in their tracks as Ayato jumped down and landed in front of them with a thump. "There's another one! who's that?!" A green haired, white eyepatched member breathlessly called out who hid behind their other members whilst doing so. Narrowed blue eyes stared into bright grey widened ones, the two men staring at each other intently. "Stupid half-breed." Ayato hissed underneath his breath as he felt emotion start to build up, going to distract himself: he ran forward. His shoulders pulsing and throbbing as his ukaku burst out, his wings flaming out behind him threateningly.

'What is this feeling of familiarity?' The man that stood in front of Ayato thought, Ayato's presence bringing a strange sense of familiarity to him. Smirking under his mask at how valuable, distracted and exhausted the man -Haise- was, Ayato ran at him. His kagune wings stretching out behind him as he threw a kick to the distracted white and black haired investigator's side, his body crashing into a nearby concrete wall. "Sensei!" The man that yelled out from in horror before charging at Ayato despite being sore from the beating he got from The Serpent. Ayato tched underneath his breath, shoving his hands into his hoodie's -that was wrapped around his waist- pockets whilst flexing out his wings and shooting his RC shards at the young investigator. Ayato sighed 'they're so weak but what do you expect from him as their leader." he thought, rolling in eyes.

"Ah!" The greened haired male yelped out as he used his sword to try to block the shards aimed at him but unsurprisingly failed. The man fell onto the ground and cried out from pain, the other members shook themselves from their shock to quickly go aid him. As his head spinned and throbbed,  he managed to watch through blurry eyes just as Ayato impaled his trainee with his kagune shards. Watching Tooru collapse to the floor and hear him let out a pained yell enlightened a fire in him. "Don't.." Haise started as he stumbled to stand on his feet, "You dare lay a finger on my subordinate!" Haise finished with a scream of anger, he sprinted towards the unaware Ayato, his quinque aimed directly at him; the tip shining tormentingly. Ayato -who saw Haise move in the corner of his eye- quickly jumped up and twirled around; kicking Haise's handle away during. Just as he landed, he quickly jumped up and over Haise's extended and pointed quinque sword.

"You...actually care for them? Why?" Ayato thought to himself in confusion.

Whilst mid-jump Ayato pulled his legs to his chest before extending them and kicking at Haise's head, Haise groaned out as he was thrown away, his back and head slamming against the concrete wall.
Despite the throbbing pain in his head; he forced himself to stand but as soon as he did a statically voice and sound rang in his ears. "You're weak Haise, you can't even take on two ghouls. You need me." They called out, Haise's vision slowly faded out into a checkered coloured floor room, a familiar disturbing presence standing behind him. One that always put the cheery and bright investigator on edge. Noticing Haise sudden stop and look of uneasiness and distress, Ayato paused; watching him closely.

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!" He exclaimed, whispering in Haise's ear while running his hands over the investigator's shoulders, leaving a cold and disturbing aftertouch. "No! I won't let you consume me" Haise whispered confusing all that heard him, Unexpectedly a dark red coloured rinkaku creeped out of the investigator's back, peeking over his shoulders. Looking up through his multi-coloured hair he locked eyes with Ayato, his eye transforming into their kagune form.

Haise smirked before sprinting towards the younger male, who twisted his body around and kicked the investigator back. Expecting Haise to give up he tensed as Haise jumped up his rinkaku shooting down; aiming at Ayato. Quick on his reflexes Ayato shot side to side, somehow managing to dodge Haise's quick hits. "Shithead!" Ayato hissed out as he moved swiftly, he jumped back and sent down a float of shards onto the half ghoul investigator.

Using his kagune as a shield, he covered his upper body with his 'tentacles' before swinging them around and hitting Ayato with full force. Grunting out Ayato fell to the floor momentarily before jumping up, his blood now boiling from rage. "Oi! We're here!" The voice from earlier called out successfully catching Ayato off guard. Taking advantage of that, Haise impaled one of his 'tentacles' through Ayato's chest. "Gah!" Ayato yelled out as more impaled him over and over again.

"Oh well he can deal with that himself, the asshole deserves it" The man -Naki- exclaimed with a shrug. Naki's eyes glinted with excitement as a grin made its way on his face at the sight of the three other Injured but determined members of The Quinx squad running at him."Come on Guge and Gagi! That's show them what we've got!" He laughed charging off with the two following, his kokaku kagune glowing threateningly in the dimly lighted city road.

"You're...a fucking asshole...ken." Ayato gasped out between coughs, blood spitting from his mouth with each word and cough. Haise quickly pulled away, his rinkaku doing the same causing Ayato to collapse onto the floor, his mask falling off whilst so. Ayato's head slammed onto the concrete road, his ears and head throbbing and ringing from the impact.

"Ayato.." Haise gasped, 'Wait! Ayato?! Who the hell is Ayato?!' He thought as he stumbled back, gripping his hair tightly. Ayato's eyes widened in surprise, his body frozen in shock, his heart sped up as his eyes teared. He hissed as he forced himself onto his hands, lifting himself up to look at Haise, the look of surprise and confusion quickly faded into concern as Haise started to let out screams. "Kaneki!" Ayato screamed out, reaching out towards him but the sudden shock of pain coursing through his body stopped him from getting very far.

Haise dropped to his knees burying his head, his hands tugging his locks viciously as his kagune swirled out of control. His body and kagune thrashing and shaking. His loud continuous screams echoed in everyone nearby's ears, it haunting especially in one's. Naki who heard sirens suddenly go off again and saw 2 police cars coming into view at full speed; kicked back the dark haired investigator -Urie- he was fighting before running off to Ayato's side. Leaving his teammates to take on all 3 of the injured investigators Urie, Tooru and Shirazu that seemed to never backdown.

Naki reached down and shook Ayato's shoulder erratically, "let's go!" He yelled into his ear, snapping Ayato out of his daze. "We need to go!" Naki yelled as the police cars stopped and floods of investigators came running out and towards them. Ayato looked away from Haise, fighting off his annoying urge to help him; he stood up hissing as he felt his skin tear open again but ignored it. "Gagi! Guge! Let's go!" Naki yelled out as he ran forward to grab Ayato's rabbit mask.

"Here!" Naki yelled out throwing the mask into Ayato's chest, Ayato quickly caught it and attached it to his face before stealing one last glance at the pained Haise and running off. Naki looked behind him and waved his hand back signalling the twins -Gagi and Guge- to follow before sprinting off, following Ayato's lead. "No! You're not getting away!" An newly appeared investigator yelled out, him and his 4 teammates chasing them closely behind.

Another group of high leveled investigators saw what state haise was in and prepared to do what they were told to do if this were to ever happen; stabilise haise or kill him. "This mission is over, but for now, prepare to take out SS rated Haise Sasaki" The group leader said before he and his 3 members ran at Haise. Mutsuki Tooru -the green haired injured investigator- gasped and his eyes widened at the rating Haise was given. 'He's SS rated?! How the hell is he so strong?!' Urie thought, glaring at his leader with a look of jealously and envy as he watched his leader lose more and more of his self control.

Sensing the oncoming investigators, his kagune reacted negatively; thrashing and expanding, trying to fight them off. Despite how rushed and erratic his movements were the group managed to cut off Haise's tentacles as he struggled to stand and defend himself. Doing so left Haise defenceless on the floor, the leader of the group sighed at the sight of Haise and pressed his earpiece and starting to talk into it. "Akira" he called out connecting to another investigator nearby, to one that was standing on a close by roof watching everything through her sniper rifle. Knowing exactly what he was asking she replied with "He's in my sight" as she positioned herself, after deeming the position perfect she released the trigger and the bullet went straight into Haise's forehead.
