I woke up to the sound of some one creaking the door. My eyes made a great deal
of opening, until I heard the sound of glass chattering by my bed lamp. I woke
up and saw Glenn, she had brought me breakfast or at least that what I thought
it was. I quietly rose up and itched my back.
"You really can sleep". Glenn
muttered as she poured the tea out the kettle into a cup.
"how long was I out? I asked and she scoffed. "A while…maybe, six or seven hours". She mumbled and handed the tea cup to me. I accepted it and drink it, telling her thank you. I
opened the covered plate to see a unique dish. It was basically made out of human flesh but either way, it was not like I had a choice.
I slowly munched it down but the taste was
remarkable. Absolutely stunning and I kept eating more and more. Glenn stated
at me from where she stood and giggled.
"guess you did a lot of work last
night". She muttered and I heard her. She basically heard the whole noise me
and Yumeko made from the fighting yard.
"Yeah, it was a messy fight. Guess I
didn't win". I replied and scoffed. "oh am sure you did". Glenn giggled again and I felt a bit of sarcasm uprising. I glared at her red cheeks and I immediately understood. "what do you mean? I asked and she scoffed.
"You got this". She mumbled again and moved by the side of the curtain, staring out into the
courtyard.
I squeezed my face in awkwardness and soon I remembered. We had slept with each other, me and Yumeko. After the match, Yumeko turned the lights off and took off her
clothes, mine too. Honsetly, it was passionate, from the kiss to the sex. It
was romantic, smoking hot and lustful. I blushed as I remembered the sweet
memory.
"Hey dumb dumb" Glenn said and I
realized myself. Clearing my throat and sitting upright again.
"what? I said in a commanding voice. She smiled shortly and moved away from the curtains.
"Eat fast…got a job in like seven hours". She snapped and turned to leave the room.
"wait…! What…! Four hours? But it's like 10am". I stuttered in confusion. "Stupid…I
knew you weren't clearly awake. Time is four pm, by Eleven we move out". She
snapped again and pulled in closer to me, I shifted back a bit.
"Get it together husband, you are an elite now. Things like this, is normal". She
snapped again and turned to leave.
"Hey dumb dumb! I snapped back with a
straight face. Glenn turned and looked at me in anger.
"Don't ever call me husband. The word is prince or Ichigo". I muttered and looked her straight in the eyes. She smiled a cold and short one. "of course! Prince". She muttered
and did a dramatic leg drop before leaving and slamming the door behind me.
I laid down a bit after eating
then went to have my bath. Afterward, I grabbed my suit attaching it to my
body. I spent a lot of time to mansion's library, writing and reading amazing
stuffs. I wanted to write a letter to my parents but its not like they was a
post man around. I made my way outside the hallway after a while and stumbled
into a boy in a white shirt, black tie and plain trousers. "Hey? You're the one
eyed-ghoul right? I hear you're the strongest". The boy said and I glance at
him. He had brown eyes, full black hair and held a book over his face. "who are
you? I asked and he giggled like a girl. "Lets battle, me and you". The boy
offered and I smirked. He was certainly a ghoul but there was something strange
about him. As though he was proving weak when strong. "who told you am the
strongest? I asked with a bit of excitement. "I can't tell you". He whispered
back and giggled again, with the book over his face. I looked in detail at the
book cover, it was written "Hobbit". I let out a smirk as I remember reading
one of those books as a kid.
I heard a footstep approaching behind me, it was followed by a voice.
"Ready to go? I turned to see Rin. He had his hands in his cloths and gave the boy a
death stare to leave. "Who was that kid? He seems nice". I smirked and avoided
eye contact with Rin.
"you fought well yesterday, so I thought it's best we got this job". He said and turned as though he was leaving. I followed his trail
with my eyes but weaved it away at a point.
"Every ghoul here have a reason to
fight and survive, we ghouls are nothing but monster to human. We have tried to
negotiate and talk but no one listens to an animal". He muttered as though he
was soliloquizing.
"here, memorize it". He said and handed to me a photo of a prisoner. I glared at it and looked back at him. The picture was of a man in
his late 30s, shark teeth, crazy hair and serious face. He was handcuffed and had the same cuffs to the neck as I did, back in the man hunter jail.
"who is he? I asked and looked up at Rin. "Name's Jester. He is a Aogiri tree member
but tonight determines if he is still a member of the crew or not".
"what? I gasped in a bit of confusion.
"We intercept the convey transporting him then he find him, question him and either we bring him back or we kill him". Rin snapped in a bit of a heist.
"why kill him? I asked and heard Rin exhale.
"Either he's a traitor or another puppet". Rin snapped and snatched the paper
off my hand.
"Are we the only ones going, on this mission? I asked and he
paused to glance at me.
"you want to be strong? This is the road to being
strong. Besides why waste the foot troopers when you have strong ones like us".
We both step outside and both got ready to
move. I made my way to the front gate, bracing up from this mission. Me and the
annoyingly complicated Rin. Things could get a whole lot worse from here on
out.
"You'll be fine". A voice snapped from behind and turned to see the same
boy as earlier. He was hanging upside down from a tree branch and had the book
over his mouth again.
Because of his attitude of book over to mouth, I couldn't
hear most words he muttered. He had a weird attitude and felt like a stalker at
some point, but maybe he could be sweet. Perhaps one of those party kids, that
get attached to you.
"Why say that? I asked as I understood that he clearly eavesdropping
on the conversation between me and Rin.
"Because you're the new prince. The old
ones gone, new ones are always strong". He muttered and I paused, my brain felt
like it was recycling the words, he just said. "a new prince? Was there a old
one and who? The use of puppet by Rin as a word". I thought and looked up at
the kid but he vanished in thin air. Clearly must have jump away as Rin made
steps towards me.
"ready? He asked and I stared at him, with my
brawls up. "I was born ready".
