Chereads / Tokyo Ghoul: The Diclonius Queen / Chapter 10 - 10. Reap and Tear

Chapter 10 - 10. Reap and Tear

"Gagi, Guge you can eat her."

As soon as those words left Naki's mouth the twin made strange gurgling sounds of understanding, their sclera became black, and their iris a red nearly as intense as the girl's own.

The two heavily muscled ghouls moved in perfect sync, gloved hands wide open to grab the pink-haired girl.

She cowered in terror but her eyes and smirk indicated the exact opposite, they felt something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint why this was the case. This confused the twin even further but it didn't stop their charge.

As Gagi's right and Guge's left hand were going to grab the pink-haired girl, then something unexpected happened. A sharp pain was felt around their respective wrists, then all feelings of their hands that tried to grab the girl completely vanished.

Before their disbelieving eyes, their respective right and left hand flew off as if a monomolecular blade cut through their arms, an intense pain followed as blood spurted from the unnaturally clean cut that was already very slowly healing, their body trying to clog the hemorrhage. 

A simultaneous groan of pain escaped each causing Naki to stop and slowly turn around the smell of his henchmen's blood freezing as his eyes locked onto the scene unfolding before his widening eyes.

The girl's body language shifted to something more correlated with her ever-present smirk and eyes full of something that sent shivers of primal terror down the three ghoul spine. Something that shouldn't be possible.

"Owww… Sorry not sort for your grubby man-eaters' hands, it's in self-defense so you can understand how a small girl like me in this dark alley may be fearful. Let me help you to become somewhat symmetrical again for your help though.", Kaede said, tone mocking to the extreme with an innocent giggle ringing out of her, it felt good, it felt amazing, it felt right. Anything else at that moment was of little importance.

Another two hands flew, snapping the now handless twin back to reality, but it was too late, the next instant they lost the feeling of their legs from right to the middle of their calves. 

This time they let out a bonafide scream of agony as they fell to the grim ground of the alley, their blood in both stench and liquid tainting the air and concrete. 

Another scream escaped as they tried to crawl away using their bloody stumps at their wrist, the constantly regenerating skin and bare flesh rasping against the concrete as they did.

But the girl only giggled at the sight, it was so much fun! Her very being ecstatic about it all. 

And how amusing was the way she twisted their arms as one would for a chicken leg popped right off from their shoulder, taking their entire spatula (the bone behind the ribs) with it, and exposing the back of their ribs in the process as it came with the skin and flesh tearing like paper. 

If one looked carefully some of the internal organs could even be seen, only their biology as ghouls let them be conscious and alive as blood kept flowing in abandon.

"Still no kagunes out? Am I not worth it? Are you both defective even when you have an RC level of 3800-ish or what? So sad so despair.", the pink haired spoke with childlike interest, her moving around from the middle of her back and invisible to anybody but her.

It flowed through the two's insides, uncaring if could be counted as a violation of the highest order, scanning everything up to the cellular level and not forgetting to leave grievous lacerations behind while at it on their oh-so-precious soft internal organs.

The damages were to such an extent that even a ghoul of their level couldn't survive without immediate hospitalization from an expert doctor in ghoul biology. If only one such person that was close by could help with this specific kind of injury.

As their diminishing scream of agony entered her ear the pink-haired girl slammed her fist into the palm of her hand in an over-exaggerated and dramatic motion as if she solved one of the grand mysteries of the universe.

"Oh! Truly fascinating! I see… Poor both of you, both of your flow of RC cells of your kagunes are blocked around your kahukous by the organs themselves. Why? Maybe caused a birth defect due to a grave mutation? High chance, it's common within your species.", she spoke to herself at the end she mumbled but it was loud enough for everyone close to her to hear.

Naki hearing those words, the clear amusement at the pain she was causing, how she was killing his two henchmen before his very eyes, Gagi and Guge at the moment were no more than limbless barely living torsos.

The ghoul considered them as friends and brothers in all but blood, they were dying, no they were going to die. All of it sent his mind moving from shock, comprehension, and anger to full-blown mindless fury. 

His eyes turned pitch black, pupils glowing red as spider web-like cracks pulsed all around them. His kagune, a koukaku type, pierced his right shoulder destroying his white suit, the blue insectoid-like limb of RC cell flexing as the claw grew twice the length of the blond ghoul's arms.

"AAARRGG!! I'M GOING TO REAP YOU FUCKING GUT OUT AND EAT THEM IN FRONT OF YOUR DYING GAZE!", he yelled half of the words unable to be understood by Kaede who cutely tilted her head to the side in confusion at the rapidly approaching ghoul.

"Oh! Fascinating to see the formative and fixative stages of a kagune in real life! The videos and paper I have couldn't quite catch the ent-*BANG*-proce-*BANG*. Can't yo-*BANG* see thi-*BANG*- getting you nowhe-*BANG*-re? Or are you also defec-*BANG*", her calm amused voice was drowned by the repeated and desperate bashing of Naki against her comparatively smaller form.

Each of her vectors moved instinctively to catch the kagune's every movement while only small consciousness movements of her four vectors caused the man to waste more energy with each move. Only frustrating the aggrieved boss of the White Suit further and further.

This little game continued for a minute and a half as Naki progressively slowed down, tears flowing out of his maddened eyes as his face was contorted in a mask of anger. 

A squelching of metal penetrating flesh and bone resonated as faster than Naki could process in his state his two barely holding-in henchmen were held in front of his easily telegraphed hit and his koukaku penetrated both of Gagi and Guge's heads like a hot knife through butter.

'Double kill!', Kaede thought and mentally mimicked the deep voice of those commentator voices in video games. 

This caused a barely audible giggle to escape her, this is why her instincts screamed at her to kill and cause pain. 

Just like all animals, humans and ghouls included she craved this little droplet of dopamine that makes you feel GOOD and she could get them this way. This was worrying but again at the moment, she couldn't care less.

And anger, what a fascinating emotion it is, the realization of the consequences of one fit of anger even more so. When you are not directly concerned of course but the same goes for most things.

Naki froze, his gaze completely focused on his claw and how it pierced the head of his friends, thought of rage vanishing as they muddled transforming into incoherent gibberish as he tried and failed to process what was in front of his very eyes. 

"No… Nononononono… This can't be real, can't be real. No no no… This didn't happen this can't happen…", he babbled incoherently, his kagune dissipating into the air as he silently fell to his knees, both his eyes back to normal but empty and unfocused. 

The blood of the dead twins slowly dripped on the ground and streamed on his hands and painting his white suit a dirty red.

"Did I break it?", she said with disappointment as she snapped her finger in front of the ghoul's eyes, her vectors working behind as she cut the unique kagunes of the twins.

And cleanly displaced the two apple-sized organs, the kahukou,  into their respective transparent seal bags before putting them in her backpack. 

No blood was spilled into her belongings as much as her body thought of the smell as VERY, VERY pleasant, not the appetizing kind though. It was a pain to clean and her Mom didn't need to know she started this young.

Sighing at the man going around in circles denying reality, vectors moving she mowed his internal organs from the chest cavity to the ventral cavity in a whole fell swoop.

Except for the kahukou, this led to the ghoul seizing up as he died mouth 'puking' unrecognizable pieces of tissue and blood. His own species' biology rendered the entire process agonizing to the extreme as the body tried in vain to heal itself.  

"Ah, it felt like scratching an itch, an impossible itchy one that kept going and going and going on…"
