"After you devour him, you will be alone, consumed with regret. In a sea of blood and guts."
She stopped for a while to observe some kind of reaction. The only thing was again those mindless sound of a wild beast.
"That's a ghoul's hunger. That's our fate."
Now she too, took some kind of battle stance as she was also prepared for a fight. She knew that Lucien was watching so it was impossible for something to happen to her.
"I'm fed up with it. So this one time, I'll save you from that."
She rushed at him with fast speed, swiftly delivering a precise kick to his abdomen, which sent him flying to a nearby wall, where he crashed. Thanks to his rinkaku kagune, which provided stronger regenerative abilities he still managed to get up and tried to attack Touka again, this time with his kagune.
But all of his efforts were in vain, as Touka appeared quickly behind him and knocked him out. He was still only newbie ghoul, who can't fight or control his power. What's more, he is in berserk mode, so he can't even think clearly.
Lucien looked at Touka and this entire mess they had created here.
"What to do now?"
Asked Lucien as he was scanning entire area. Everything here was destroyed and soon it would attract the attention of people, living here. Maybe even some doves would fly here, so they need quickly go away.
"We need to bring both of them away, best would be Anteiku. And leave that four-eyes here."
Said Touka in a somewhat bossy tone. But Lucien didn't mishear certain word, and that word was 'we'. 'Wasn't Kaneki her problem? Why it became us?'. Thought Lucien in his mind.
"When it became we? Wasn't that half-ass your responsibility?"
Asked Lucien in a curious voice, when they actually started to share duties and responsibilities.
"From the moment, you appeared here and knocked out that four-eyes."
Answered Touka with a faint smile. Lucien nodded his head and called his loyal henchmen for help and car. He always told them where would he be, so they could be nearby when he needed them. But he never told them the precise location, only ward.
Soon two Hummer H3 arrived and several men exited cars, which gave Touka rather shock, to see so many people here. They all arrived before Lucien, giving him salute and then they began clearing surrounding and loaded both Kaneki and Hide into the car.
"These are mercenaries I hired. All of them are around A-rated ghouls in strength."
Explained Lucien current situation to Touka. She nodded her head and then both of them got into a car and left for the Anteiku. Lucien secretly ordered one of his people to bring away even Nishiki, he wasn't a bad person only a little arrogant.
=============================================
Anteiku
Lucien was sitting behind the bar inside Anteiku and before him was Yoshimura. Cause of his visit and many people he brought with him cafe was closed for some time. As mercenaries were all ghouls their consumption of coffee was huge. And it was showing even today.
"I must say Mr. Yoshmura you have brought coffee making to an art."
Smiled Lucien as he complimented his coffee he was drinking.
"Secret is in patience, love, and accuracy."
Explained Yoshimura as he was preparing other cups of coffee for mercenaries here. They actually drank coffee like water. One after another.
"I must thank you for help her deal with this issue. I let her observe that young man because I felt something bad would happen to him. He is unstable and can't decide to which world he belongs."
Lucien nodded his head in approval. He admired old man Yoshimura. He was somewhat kind and caring person toward other ghouls, who needed help. Maybe it came from his personality or from his tragic past, who knows.
"Mr. Yoshimura, from my respect to your person I must warn you that Washuu Clan is scheming something. Something big and extremely dangerous for us."
Said Lucien with a serious voice, to which even Yoshimura opened his eyes slightly, even though he always kept them closed.
"I wish I could help you, but I was only cleaner in Vasuki, we were tasked by eliminating and killing targets, we didn't have access to confidential pieces of information of the organization itself."
Stated old man. Cleaners were at the very bottom. They just killed targets that they were told and that's all. They didn't have access to any secret information or something like that. They were just weapons in hands of Vasuki.
"You should be careful these times. I am preparing to move against Washuu Clan soon."
Yoshimura wasn't surprised from his claim, cause he was aware he had enough power to back up his word. Only those with supreme strength could say something like this. It was common knowledge that attacks against Washuu Clan were nothing more than some form of suicide.
=============================================
On the second floor of Anteiku
This room looked very comfortable at first look. In the center of the room were two sofas facing each other and television at the wall. At one of those sofas, young black haired Kaneki was sleeping, no no was waking up. When he woke up he looked through the window, surprised from change and waking up in an unfamiliar place.
"You're awake."
Said the elderly voice behind him. It was old man Yoshimura who was standing behind him and observing him. When Kaneki turned around to him, he continued explaining the situation to him.
"You're on the second floor of Anteiku. Touka and Lucien brought you here."
To this, he was shocked. Firstly because Touka that apparently hated him, actually helped him. Secondly, it was the name of the man, whose he didn't recognize. But he could deduce he was probably a foreigner, from his non-japanese name.
"What about my friend?!"
Screamed when he finally remembered the situation.
"... Come with me"
Then Kaneki stood up and followed after Yoshimura to another room where his friend Hide was sleeping currently. From conversation they had with Yoshimura Lucine could think that it wasn't anything good to hear for Kaneki.
=============================================
"Touka-san I think you would have a new colleague."
Said Lucien with a mischievous and teasing smile to Touka. He was calling her by her name because she was doing the same. As he wasn't Japanese he wasn't very comfortable with this style of addressing so they both called each other with their names.
Touka to this gave him a very unpleasant look before turning away. She swore to herself she would try hit Lucien as hard as she can when they would train together tomorrow. She knew that he was from some noble family and he seemed to be a gentleman so he won't be using his full power when they would train against her.
