"Ahhhh!!! Just leave me alone will you?! I have family!!" Covered in sweat and tears, a man was clumsily running for dear life down a dark alleyway filled with trash bins every corner and puddles that had the color of sewer water.

The man continued screaming for dear life as he looked behind him with eyes popping out of his skull and pupils rapidly shaking from terror when suddenly he tripped over a garbage bin and fell onto the dirty alleyway ground.

A crack sound came from his ankle from fracturing it due to the fall. To frightened to scream from the pain he bit down on the crevice of his hand, breathing hard and clenching his eyes shut hoping for this nightmare to end.

Footsteps slowly began approaching him from the darkness of the alleyway. The man immediately opened his eyes with pure terror while trying to quiet his breathing.

He stared where the footsteps came from as they began getting louder and closer, gradually.

"Listen..don't take this personal. I just gotta survive." A voice from beyond the shadows said before coming out of the darkness and staring down at the man.

The teenager had white hair, pure silver eyes, along with ripped jeans that had a chain hanging down them, and hoodie, all black. "I'm sure yo understand, right?" The boy with white hair said before walking up to the man slowly with his hands in his pockets.  - Karuzo Chifuyu

The man scurried backwards while facing the teenager that was approaching him intimidatingly. "L-Look!! I have a family, a wife, two amazing daughters..just please!" The man pleaded as he snatched his wallet from his pocket and show the teenager the picture.

The teenager stared deeply down with an emotionless expression while the man below him shook with fear.

The boy sighed in tiredness before turning around and walking back down the dark alleyway.

"T-Thank you!! Thank you so much!!" The man yelled out to the boy as he bowed down to him

Gratefully.

The teenager walked out of the alley and made his way all the way on top of a building. He squat down at the edge of the building as his hair and clothes blew from the wind.

He looked down and noticed that his stomach was growling. "I need to eat soon.." he thought as he stood up slowly, staring at the big city.

"The ghoul know as Tiki has been on the move for awhile now. He's incredibly hard for the police to catch, we may have to use other measures to capture him." A man on the news station said as they showed a picture of Masahiro Chifuyu on the screen. Everyone knew him as Tiki.

"This is ridiculous..this world has gone crazy, I remember when I was a kid. Stuff like this would only be seen in fairy tales but now it's apart of your everyday life!" A woman said in annoyance and slight fear as she put dishes up and cleaned around the kitchen.

A teenage girl on the couch looked down a bit with her knees up to her chest. - Lisa Chiyo

Lisa, I want you to promise me that you'll never go by those things and avoid them at all costs.." Lisas mom said in worry for her daughter as she stared at her for a response.

Lisa felt pressured however decided to promise her mom anyway. "I-I promise Ofcourse." Lisa said with a forced smile before looking back at the Tv and staring at Tiki.

Meanwhile in the night time in the middle of the city, there were police officers and military forces swarming the city, trying to locate someone.

"We have eyes on our Target." A officer from inside a helicopter said as a bright light shined on Tiki who was trying to sprint away as fast as he could.

"Damn it damn it damn it, I got careless. I stopped eating now I'm too weak to handle these pests." Tiki said to himself as he began turning quick corners and jumping on top of buildings. Police officers began shooting at him from afar, causing sparks to hit the ground where he was running however, he didn't let that slow him down.

As he continued to run away he eventually found himself backed into a corner inside a dark alleway. He looked around desperately for a way out until he heard the sounds of guns point at him and the bright light from the helicopter beam brightly on top of him.

"Put your hands up GHOUL!" An officer yelled out to him, causing Tiki to slowly put his hands up. He clicked his teeth in annoyance as he did. "What to do..what to do..my powers won't be strong right now considering I'm too weak from not eating." He thought to himself as he looked around for clues of anything. "The helicopter is gonna track me wherever I go, and these officers got guns on me..hmph, I got one shot at this.." he thought deeply to himself quickly.

"Turn around now!! And don't make any sudden moves!" The officer said when Tiki slowly began turning around.

Tiki smiled a bit before chuckling, causing the officers to flinch slightly. "What's so funny?!"

"...bad idea.." Tiki said as 4 big tail like objects emerged from his back rapidly, causing him to slouch over some as it tore the back of his clothes. They were black with a silver tint to them that matched the color of his eyes, along with small arched spikes connected everywhere on them.

This caused the officers and military to all freeze before they all immediately started shooting however Tiki used his power as cover as it blocked all of the projectiles flying towards him.

Once Tiki realize they were out of ammo he began sprinting towards them all quickly with the sharp ends of his tails aiming directly at the police. They were all frightened as they began reloading their bullets but Tiki didn't even aim for them.

Jumping on the wall caught them all completely by surprise as he began running on the wall. He then jumped towards the opposite side and used his sharp nails to slash through the humans, trying not to hit any vital spots.

As Tiki continued being shot at, he used his tails as cover and as a way to attack, along with punches and kicks towards all of them.  It wasn't long at all until all the police and military forces were all on the ground in pain.

They were bleeding but and grunting in serious pain but not from anything that would kill Them. Tiki stood over them with an emotionless expression as his power slowly vanished. He then turned around and took a run for it, the light then beamed on him again, causing him to shut a eye and move his hand up from how bright it was.

"Damn it I thought this was over...I'm all out of power now." He said to himself, not knowing what to do when out of nowhere the helicopter exploded.

A bunch of helicopters parts came falling onto the city streets, causing Tiki to quickly take cover along with the cops that were still alive.

"What the hell was that?" Tiki said as he looked up at the sky, noticing a dark cloud from the explosion.

"Hey!!" A loud voice came from behind Tiki, causing him to quickly jump forward and dace the person. Tiki was shocked when he saw the person was wearing a weird clown mask and standing in a super hero pose.

"U-um...you okay?" Tiki said with a raised eyebrow as he stared at the person confused.

"Ofcourse man! You liked that explosion? Pretty cold huh?!" The guy said before taking off the mask. He had a big smile, dirty blonde hair, and green eyes.

Tiki questioned in his head as he looked at the sky before looking back at the guy who seemed about the same age as him. "You did that?"

"Yup, that's my ability..the names Ezume, Ryuji Ezume. And I just wanna say that I knew I'd be the first to find you!" Ryuji said with a exclaimed expression as he began laughing.

"Find me..? What do you want with me?" Tiki asked before slowly putting his guard up.

Ryuji noticed as he put his hands up nervously."I'm not here to fight you...I'm sure you heard of a group called the Taka..we're a group of ghouls that come together to stand up to humans who mean harm..we've had our eye on you considering how strong and popular you are." Ryuji explained as Tiki listened.

Tiki stood still and put his guard back down. "So by first, you meant?"

"Yeah, we've been searching for you for days. You're hard to track but when I saw a helicopter and military I just knew it was you! So...what's your name?" Ryuji said as he began walking and humming to himself with his hands placed on the back of his head.

Tiki began following on the side of him with his hands in his pockets. "You know my name don't you? You already pointed out how popular I was." Tiki said while looking over at Ryuji.

"Pshhh I meant your real name dude." Ryuji responded.

"I'll stick to Tiki for now.." Tiki said back as they walked throughout the city to get to the Taka hideout.

"So I have a question...why were you wearing a clown mask?" Tiki asked, confused.

"Haha oh that? I wore it 'cause I lost our group mask, and I thought it looked cool. Wouldn't ya' agree??" Ryuji said with a optimistic expression. "Huh? Huh? Huh? I can't hear you...Tiki dude." Ryuji continued on.

Tiki sighed in a small bit of annoyance. "You're gonna be reallll energetic huh?" Tiki said. He wasn't really annoyed and felt pretty comfortable with Ryuji.

As they made their way to the hideout, the atmosphere around them started getting more serious and Tiki didn't know what he was gonna be up against. They made their way to a small alleway that most people have never seen before, as they made their way to a wooden door with graffiti painted all over it.

"By the look of it, these people don't have much of a budget. I wonder how many members they have, however joining them, I'll be getting closer to my goal." Tiki thought seriously to himself as Ryuji slowly opened the creeping door.

Tiki followed behind Ryuji. The room was lit up by a bright lamp on the ceiling. It had stone walls with drawings and lines covering them.

"I told you I'd find him!!" Ryuji yelled out in a bragging and boasting type of way.

Tiki looked at Ryuji before facing forward. He saw a bunch of members of all types and sizes. Some of them looked calm, however others seemed to surround themselves in an intimidating aura. Ofcourse their were the cheery ones. Tiki took a step forward in front of Ryuji, standing in front of the Taka members.

"This is it...I'm finally here." Tiki thought to himself as he stood their confidently in front of everyone.

To Be Continued
