The Torture I Go Through

Chapter 3 : The Missing One

3rd POV
* * * At Aogiri * * *

Authors note : I'm sorry if I put the names wrong in this chapter and the others. I'm still not so sure about the naming yet. (First and last names) So I apologize beforehand. Also, some of the characters that died in the anime or manga are most likely still alive. Also, Ayato is two years older than he actually is.

A boy of the age of 18 was sitting on a old and slightly broken chair. His face was cupped in his hands, his elbows resting on his knees. He felt tired and lonely. A certain someone had dissappeared without a trase, not even the smallest clue left behind. The boy sighs, raking his hand through his purple indigo colored hair.

"Where did you go?" He says aloud. Ayato sighs again. He had fallen in love with that person who had dissappeared. They had fought each other may times, but Ayato always made it seem like he hated Kaneki only because he was in love with him. He didn't mean to fall in love with him, but it just happened. He loved Kaneki's style of fighting, his personality, voice (when he would actually use it), and especially his gorgeous eyes. Even though he was a half ghoul, Ayato had still fallen in love with him.

Ayato lets out a loud groan and slightly pulls at his hair. Why didn't he tell Kaneki how he felt about him? Why did he have to be so stupid? He really did love Kaneki and now he had dissappeared. Ayato was extremely worried about him. He wanted to know if he is safe.

He stood up and walked to the wall. His fist flew through the air and lodged itself into the concrete wall. He repeated this action until his fist was bloody and his arm ached. He felt so angry at himself for not telling Kaneki. He didn't know where he went, but he had to find him and keep him safe. He had to make sure he was okay.

Suddenly, Ayato thought of his sister and Anteiku. Maybe they would help him try to find Kaneki. He had to ask them. Grabbing his leather jacket, he walked out of the room and out of the building. He had stayed at Aogiri, but now he had a new plan. He wanted to be protected and to protect others, like Kaneki.

He walked in the shadows, walking through the secret passages, making sure not to be seen. He didn't want to be involved with anyone right now. The sky was a dark purple with sparkling stars. The cresent moon aluminated the sky amongst the stars. It was a beautiful winter night.

Sparkling white snowflakes, that resembled silver glitter, started to gently fall from the sky. The wind blew gently, rustling Ayato's hair and leaving little silvery sbowflakes into it. Ayato sighs gently and tightens his purple scarf around his neck and mouth. The air clouds up when he sighed. It was slowly, but surely getting colder, the temperature dropping.

Walking for what seemed like hours, which was only 45 minutes, the Anteiku coffee shop appears in Ayato's line of sight. It seemed so long ago when Ayato had come here to capture Kaneki and not to save him.

There was a soft yellowish glow coming from other side of the windows. There was a very small amount people sitting at a table, drinking their coffee. There was also two people working inside the shop.

The bell chimed as Ayato opened the door and entered the small coffee shop.

"Welco-" a gasp interrupted the person's welcoming. Ayato looks up from the floor to see Roma who had dropped the tray she was holding. The porcelain cups crashed onto the floor, shattering into pieces as the dark brown liquid painted the wooden floor. Roma's eyes were wide and Ayato could see a slight hint of fear in them. Enji looked up from the coffee he was brewing and Nishiki looked up from serving a customer.
