A New Beginning

Chapter Twenty Three: Finding Eto

~~~~

I had come back from hunting and my clothes were stained with the blood of about seven ghoul victims.

"How many did you kill Alecxis?!" Aidan freaked when he saw my clothes, hands and face. All of which, were covered in blood.

"About seven. Why? You took me away before I could kill last time. So technically, this is your fault." I said, pinning it all on my brother.

He just glared at me then told me to change. I did have spare, dark clothes so I was good. I was just going around wearing my main mask, the mask of the SSS rating ghoul, Unknown Mystery.

"Hurry up. We have to get moving." Aidan told me.

"Then turn around."

"Why?"

"Jeez. Can you not see that this building is basically just one big room? A girl needs her privacy." I said.

"Oh! Sorry. I'll turn around." Aidan closed his eyes and faced the wall that he was previously leaning against.

I got changed very quickly, not trusting my brother. Well, I do but I just didn't feel comfortable taking my time in a ghoul infested ward and the fact that we are in an abandoned building that can crash down on us at any moment.

"Done." I announced, pulling on my navy hoodie.

"Good. Let's go."

I followed Aidan out of the building. It was about midday and the streets were packed.

"Where are we going now?" Aidan asked.

"Wait, you didn't know where we were going?! Why did I let YOU lead?!" I face palmed myself.

"Hey. Don't be mean. I don't know my way around Tokyo!" Aidan argued.

-No One's P.O.V.-

Up, sitting on a roof close by to the two bickering siblings, was a ghoul. She laughed at the two who were fighting over a small thing.

"This will be easy." she said in a sing song voice.

Behind her, another ghoul stood watching the busy street slowly empty.

"Don't count on it, Eto." he warned the childish girl.

"Fine. But you have to agree, this will be some fun. And I'm sure Ayato won't mind us doing this.." the girl known as Eto said in a creepy voice.

The male ghoul behind her responded by staying silent.

"When will we strike, Tatara?" she asked Tatara, the male ghoul.

"Only time will tell, Eto." was all he said before disappearing. The girl followed after.

-Alecxis' P.O.V.-

"Aidan! Listen to me!" I yelled. Not many people were around now.

"What?" he asked, clearly frustrated with me.

"We're heading to a safe haven for ghouls. We're heading to Antieku."

I opened the door of the small cafe.

"Hello miss- Alecxis?" a girl with short, dark blue gasped.

"Hi Touka." I greeted.

"Why are you here?"

"Well, my and my.. Friend here need a place to stay for a while. I was kinda hoping that my room was still available." I stated.

"Oh. Yes, the room is free. You know where to go. Yoshimura is currently out but he'll be back soon." Touka informed me.
