Make Them Hate

Kaneki POV

"Are you going to give up now?" I asked, blocking another attack from Mutsuki, who had a very agitated face on, sweat glazed on his forehead.

Urie runs around me, swinging at me from behind, but I wrap my kagune around his sword and fling him into some brush. Shirazu yells and swings a large arc, but I easily side step it, and charge him, ramming my fist into his stomach and making him puke.

I stand there, staring down at him. "Is that all you've got? You haven't even used your kagune." I said, provoking him, making him angry.

I will make them hate me. That way, they can let go of Sasaki Haise. That persona was gone, he gave up willingly, and accepted everything. That is who I am.

Akira was catching her breath and began to get ready to attack once more. She ran at me, then swung her whip, I try to jump away, but it wraps around my leg, and brings my to my knees. I quickly twists around, and pull the whip with all my strength, pulling her forward.

I grab her neck when she close enough, and lift her in the air. "Give up, and I will let you live." I mumbled.

Akira grit her teeth, and choked a bit. But I suppose this was the time to talk.

"You hated me, didn't you?" I suggested.

At this Akira flinched and her eyes became wide. I squint at her, trying to guess what she was thinking.

"I was the one who last fought Amon, the man that was your partner. And I also was the one who presumably killed him." I said, she was beginning to shake; I couldn't tell if it was from fear or anger.

I brought her close to my face, though it was still covered by my mask. "This is the face of the man who took him away from you. Face it. You hate me." I said.

She closed her eyes and choked more as I squeezed. I sighed, a bit disappointed, and threw her across the yard, smashing into the concrete wall.

Urie was helping Mutsuki up, and grit his teeth, glaring at me. "Stop this. Let us pass and we'll let you go." He said.

I laughed at this. "You mean, you'll leave and I'll let you live." I corrected.

Akira got up and coughed a bit, looking me in the eyes. "Last chance. I will use my trump card against you, Sasaki." She said.

"Trump card? Against me? And what would that be, Mado?" I asked, walking towards her and stopping just a mere few feet away.

For awhile we stood still while glaring at one another. Then, something unexpected happened. Something came out of her mouth that sent my entire mind going into haywire.

"Hideyoshi Nagachika." She mumbled.

What... who...?

Levin POV

I stopped a few meters away from Arima. As usual, he just stood there with a blank expression. The expression that he had when he destroyed my home, and nearly killed me back in the Auction raid.

I hate that look.

"Tell me, Arima... why did you join V?" I asked.

Arima's eyes flashed a bit at this. "So, you knew about that." He mumbled.

"Vincent gave me all the knowledge I need to know. About how V hides in the CCG." I said, unzipping my jacket and throwing it off, leaving only my t shirt on. I release my kagune, quickly forming into large talons.

Arima clicked his briefcase, his black sword coming from it. The same sword that nearly killed me and Kaneki. And my father.

I know for a fact that right now I'm not skilled enough to kill him, but hold him back? I can do that. As long as I'm not reckless like last time.

I can go full out!

My back comes to life, my Kakuja coming free and I feel my Kakuja mask forming around my face. Talons form around my arms, and giant wings form on my back.

"This time will be different." I said, my voice sounding demonic, chilling. But as obvious Arima still stood with a blank expression, only tensing a bit, getting ready to attack or defend.

Seeing that he rushed forward, he was attacked first. His first attack was a quick jab at my leg, but I quickly push it out of the way, and swing my taloned arm at him.

He ducks, and slashed my knee. I back up a bit, but he doesn't give me any breather time, he jabs and slices over and over again. I block and back up.

I then jump up on a truck, smashing into it on purpose to make the glass shatter, making him block his eyes. I lunge at him, he side steps me and uppercuts my shoulder, I then grab his sword.

I got him-! Never mind.

He twists his arm holding the sword, and stabs it into the ground. I quickly jump back, avoiding the large quinque spike coming out of the ground.

That sword has a special ability of sorts. It sends the tip of the sword through the ground and impale targets from underground. I read up on what he used just in case something like this happened.

I stand once again, and we stare at one another. A question comes to my mind, and I decide to bring it to his attention.

"Arima... what is life's purpose?" I asked.

Arima raised an eyebrow at this, but didn't say anything.

"And... I've always wondered something. Do you live anything? Or are you really an empty shell?" I asked, squinting at him. Arima stands there, not saying a word.

On my comms I hear a voice ring out. "We're escaping through the back, the resistance is low. But we can't get an old of Kaneki." Said Rize over the radio.

I don't reply, as Arima is in front of me and I don't was to be distracted. But the questions and hate sit bear in me for this man I don't really read into what she said through the comms.

"Talk you bastard. It's not fair if I can't destroy the things you love. Because you destroyed what I loved." I said, my voice becoming more and more dark.

Arima tilted his head. "You mean your mother?" He asked, finally saying something.

"And my father!" I yelled, gritting my teeth.

Arima, for a long time, just stood there. Then he said something that I couldn't quite comprehend. Something that made my mind go blank and made me feel lost once again, just like I had been when this all started.

"Who said, that your father died?" He said.

What?

(Another cliff hanger! Don't impale me with pitchforks just yet! Nonetheless I hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful day!) - MnMs171
