I really want the Qs to discover Shirazu’s body in Kanou’s laboratory

You and me both.

“What is this place?” Saiko blinks slowly. She takes in the sterilized slabs, the air so frigid she sees her breath, the smell of cleaning fluids and the scalding blue light above.

“Where is the science?” Hsaio adds with a frown.

“Clearly you all haven’t watched enough police procedurals. Saiko, I’m disappointed.” Higemaru steps forward. With a roll of his eyes, he reaches for a steel drawer and yanks.

Urie swears as legs slowly roll out. A corpse, of course.

Mutsuki says nothing. He’s been quiet since his return to CCG. But Urie can see the perturbations in his eyes.

Aura stiffens suddenly as the body finishes rolling out.

The hair is orange. The face familiar.

Saiko tries to scream, but no sound emerges.

Urie’s blood drains from his face. Higemaru shakes. Mutsuki begins sobbing. And Hsaio rushes forward, because she needs to be closer, close enough to see –

It’s him. Shirazu Ginshi.

“Kanou was going to revive him?” Saiko cries.

“No!” Hsaio shakes her head. “It’s impossible, Saiko.”

“Don’t make the same mistake Ui did,” Urie says.

“But – but – I just want to go back,” Mutsuki protests, moving closer. Aura follows, like a shield.

“We can’t!” Urie yells. “We can’t go back! He’s dead, all of you: He’s dead and gone!”

He hangs his head as Saiko rushes closer. He’s all alone on his side of the room.

When he looks up, Higemaru has glided to his side.

“It’s okay to be upset.”

Urie swears again, but allows his subordinate to pat his shoulder.

What if Shirazu survived and became best pals with higemaru

You mean this isn’t canon?! :O

“All right!” Urie stumbles out of his room, soaking wet from the bucket that just fell from his doorframe. “Which one of you was it? Which one?!”

Higemaru and Shirazu blink innocently.

“I would never hurt you, Squad Leader,” says Higemaru.

“We just want to support you,” adds Shirazu.

“Like hell you do!” Urie splutters. “It’s cold!”

“Aw.” Higemaru wraps an arm around Urie. “Here’s a warm hug from a friend.”

“Saiko! Mutsuki! Someone!” Urie fumes.

“What?” Mutsuki appears and tries not to laugh at the sight of a sopping wet Urie.

“Looks like the mischief twins struck again,” Saiko says sweetly. Hsaio smirks.

“I’m cold.”

“Let Mutsuki warm you,” Aura grumbles, shuffling out of his room.

Urie gasps.

“Sorry, Urie. We won’t do that again,” Shirazu assures him.

“We’ll think of something else, right?” Higemaru grins at Shirazu.

“Absolutely, pal.” Shirazu holds up his hand, and Higa slaps him high-five.

“I can’t handle you two.” Urie bolts into the bathroom, shaking his head.

The aot cast but as ghouls (obv the Ackerman Clan is basically the Washuu Clan so that’s out of the way)

Higemaru Touma – Little Drummer Boy

Hakatori x Higemaru. Romance and then maybe some nsfw interrupted by Aura.

Higetori is my crack OTP.

“Bet my bikaku is stronger than yours,” teases Higemaru.

Hakatori’s eyes sparkle. This pretty Quinx calls her Tomoe and helps her learn about quinques. He feeds her corpse meat and Rc cells.

“Not a chance, kid.”

“I’m older than you!” Higemaru, the personification of the pink lemonade he’s always drinking, wraps his arms around his goth girlfriend. She’s sprawled across his bedroom floor, flipping through his monster drawings with interest. He’s just finished painting his nails black to match his girlfriend’s.

“Do you think your parents will accept me?” Hakatori knows a bratty teen with a terrorist organization on her CV probably won’t blend with one of Tokyo’s wealthiest families.

“They like you already, because you make me happy.” He kisses her cheek.

Hakatori shakes her head. “Maybe they just like that I calm you down.”

“I smudged my nail polish,” he whines.

“I told you to wait at least ten minutes, Higa.” Hakatori rolls her eyes.

Higemaru lights up one kakugan and lifts her from the floor of his room onto his bed. “Battle of the Bikakus, Day 149: I win.”

Her bikaku shoots out and tackles him before dragging besides her by his ankles. “Guess again.”

“Okay, okay, truce?”

“Nope.” Hakatori kisses him, and Higa squeaks with surprise.

Not that he’s complaining. He digs his lips into hers and allows her to roll atop him. “Tomoe.”

“Is this okay, Higa?” The grave robber grins down at him.

He nods, suddenly very aware that they’re on his bed. Not that he wasn’t thinking – but – he’s never – oh dear. “Have you ever – done anything like this?”

She shakes her head, avoiding his eyes. “You?”

“Nope. But I, er, borrowed some stuff from Urie’s room. Just in case! I wasn’t expecting anything, I promise.”

“Did you now? That is so sexy.” Hakatori blushes slightly. “I know you wouldn’t expect that, Higa. I know you.”

Higa’s face melts as she lifts his hands to her chest.

He kneads her breasts, his face awestruck. “Whoa.”

She snorts and kisses his neck.

“Are you a vampire or a ghoul?” Higemaru jokes as she sucks on his skin. He’ll have to wear a scarf when they meet his parents tomorrow. No matter. He’s happy to do so if it means more Hakatori.

His door slides open. “Higemaru, would you like to join Saiko and – and I – uh -”

Aura looks like he’s seen the dead.

If the dead is the notorious Grave Robber kissing Higemaru’s neck and Higemaru’s hands sliding down her nicely sculpted rear end.

Higemaru freezes. “Ack! Don’t tell Urie!”

Aura’s not sure he’s going to tell anyone, because he’s certainly going to die of horror right here and fucking now.

Hakatori’s bikaku reaches forward and shoves the door shut.

Released from hell, Aura stumbles down the hall. “Tooru! Tooru! I need eye soap!”

“You’re flawless,” Higemaru purrs, looking at Hakatori through his lowered eyelids. “Now, where were we?”

( a continuation of the mutsuki and touka reunion? at the ccg) The whole time mutsuki is flipping out, touka is just calming drinking her decaf coffee (cause i don’t think pregnant ladies can have caffeine) and says “man, i always heard about people hating their inlaws but this just takes the cake” which is overheard by several q-squad members and just adds to the confusion

Touka sips the terrible decaf coffee Hide brewed just for her. “Man, I always heard about people hating their in laws but this just takes the cake, you know?”

“You can eat cake?” Saiko asks.

“In laws? You mean, you really are married?” Takizawa laughs. “Holy shit!”

“Does that make you my mother?” gasps Higemaru. “Because I am down with that. She’s a badass.”

“I hate her! I hate her! She’s not our mother!” cries Mutsuki. “She – she stole Sensei away! That slut!”

Ayato rises, but Hinami yanks him back.

“Touka is actually pretty cool for the rabbit who killed my dad,” Akira says, tossing her a wry smile. Akira keeps her hands massaging Mutsuki’s shoulders.

Aura spits out his coffee. “She what?”

“Say it, don’t spray it,” says Nishiki with a glare.

“Oh come off it, we’re all killers here.” Kurona primly lifts her mug.

“Mutsuki, Kaneki left you because he couldn’t face himself,” Tsukiyama says quietly. “He’s never been good at that. Not that I have either. He craves a family but fears the hurt that comes with love. It was his failing, not yours. Not Touka’s.” He smiles slightly. “He told me the list of people he cared about once. Believe me, you Quinx were included.”

Mutsuki sniffles. “Really?”

But I am awful. I kill families. But Akira is rubbing his back, and Urie has approached him, and Saiko looks at him with kindness he doesn’t deserve. Did he leave the Quinx home, too?

“Really.” Tsukiyama nods.

Mutsuki lets out a little sob, and that does it. Saiko springs up and embraces him. Even Touka has to smile.

“Wait, wait, wait!” Ayato stands up. “Touka! Does that mean you really are – the rumors – the decaf -”

He turns purple. “I CAN’T HELP HIM!”

“Sit down and shut up,” Yomo mumbles.

Ayato sits.

hide rounded up those who wanted to help kaneki and they were all in a separate meeting room. In stumbles mutuski and Aura who iare late don’t really know what is going on, they see touka and just intensely stare (cause they’re like “wtf is she mocking us or just has mega lady balls”) And touka is all like “are you finally gonna be joining us” (definitely mocking) and mutsuki flips out much to the confusion of everyone else (pls include multiple pov if you can) thanks!!!!!!!

“Ar you sure this is a good idea?” Urie mutters.

“I think it’s fantastic.” Saiko beams at Touka, who feels a strange fondness for this other blue-haired girl.

“I think it’s necessary,” mutters Serpent. Nishiki, he calls himself.

The Gourmet giggles besides a goateed ghoul who calls himself Banjou. A short woman, Three Blades’ Miza, swats Tsukiyama on his shoulder. Higemaru looks at Akira and Amon with wonder, his heroes finally within reach. Hsaio and Hakatori exchange tentative smiles. Yomo Renji, still dazed, leans on Fueguchi HInami and former Aogiri executive Kirishima Ayato for support. Takizawa Seidou, Yasuhisa Kurona, and Urie sulk in their own respective corners.

And Hide is charged with controlling these crazy messes.

“Hi,” he croaks out, for once understanding Kaneki’s shyness.

The door bangs open. “We came as quick as we could!”

Aura Shinsanpei hurries in, Mutsuki Tooru behind him.

Yomo groans. Not again.

Mutsuki stares at Touka, who refuses to budge from her position besides Hide, at the head of the table. She won’t give him the satisfaction.

“Is this mockery of CCG? And everything we stand for?” Aura clenches his fist.

“So good of you to finally join us,” Touka says stiffly.

Mutsuki’s mouth opens and shuts without a word. He wanted to help Sensei. He came to help Sensei, not to see her. “She isn’t helping Sensei!”

He’s jealous of her. Urie tries to push the thought from his mind. No, Mutsuki can’t be.

“Mucchy, why would you say that? They’re married!” Saiko claps her hands.

“I’ll beat your asses again,” Miza warns them.

“You did this! You made sensei into this!” screams Mutsuki.

“Furuta did, which means technically, your CCG did, on the bodies of a hundred little kids,” Akira snaps.

He looks hurt.

“Look, this isn’t easy for me either, considering you razed my family,” says Tsukiyama. “But we all love Kaneki, and we all have to work together if we want to save him.”

“She took him,” whimpers Mutsuki, tears in his eyes.

Akira frowns. Mutsuki isn’t well. Maybe – maybe he didn’t turn on her as easily as she thought.

“Mutsuki, this isn’t like you,” she says. Amon tightens his grip on her arm.

“Pah,” says Seidou.

“Helpful,” Kurona shoots at him. He rolls his eyes.

“Mutsuki?” Akira stands and approaches him again.

Urie’s hands sweat. He should be the one comforting Mutsuki. Asking the hard questions.

But because he’s Urie Yuki, he can’t do it in that order. “What the hell is going on?!”

More sin! Are the guys of Tokyo Ghoul a boob man, an ass man, or a leg man?

Kaneki Ken – boobs. They’re so squishy.

Nagachika Hideyoshi – like his BFF, he also prefers boobs.

Nishiki Nishio – ass, probably

Tsukiyama Shuu – ass. He does envy boobs, however.

Koma Enji – all about them legs

Yoshimura Kuzen – He’d probably be more innocent, like a “smile man.”

Yomo Renji – ass, but ashamed of it.

Uta – ass and totally proud of it.

Tatara – strong legs to kick the enemy.

Kirishima Ayato – boobs, but they also make him laugh so…

Noro – boobs kinda fascinate him

Yamori – he’ll beat your ass

Naki – shapely legs are delicious in many ways.

Mado Kureo – legs. They’re useful.

Amon Koutarou – boobs. They’re cute.

Takizawa Seidou – ass. It’s sexy, unlike how he views himself.

Urie Kuki – strong legs. make yourself useful.

Mutsuki Tooru – finely sculpted legs.

Shirazu Ginshi – boooobs

Higemaru Touma – quite an ass fan.

Aura Shinsanpei – boobs but like…he’s resigned himself to never seeing them in person.

Washuu Matsuri – Urie’s ass

Washuu Yoshitoki – rather fond of boobs himself

Arima Kishou – boobs both fluster and excite him

Ui Koori – boobs. How do girls move with them? Why are they so pretty?

Take Hirako – legs are beautiful.

Itou Kuramoto – asses are attractive. if you have it, might as well flaunt it.

Suzuya Juuzou – he likes how smooth legs are.

Hanbee Abara – boobs, but they also intimidate him

Mizurou Tamaki – ass

Miyuki Mikage – legs, legs tall enough to reach his height

Keijin Nakarai – ass and boobs. he chooses both.

Kuriowa Takeomi – asses fascinate him

Kuriowa Iwao – his wife’s boobs

Shinohara Yukinori – all about those long legs.

Mougan Tanakamaru – he appreciates a finely sculpted ass. His own, specifically.

Furuta Nimura – Boobs. Rize’s boobs. His own lack of boobs. Boobs.

Instead of running away from them, Kaneki talks with the Quinx about what he is doing and what he discovers (that the CCG are the biggest hypocrites, sunlit garden and everything they were taught a complete and total lie), and they make it clear that they will support him always.

“I don’t believe you,” Urie snaps.

“Why not?” Saiko fires back.

“Sensei? How do you know?” Mutsuki leans forward. The Quinx have gathered in the Chateau for a meeting with Sasaki Haise, though he now wants to be called Kaneki.

Higemaru interrupts. “There’s actually … I’ve studied the history of CCG some. Everyone who’s come from the Sunlit Garden has passed away by 35.”

“So you believe him, too?” Saiko asks.

“Why don’t we ask or resident Garden kid?” Aura points at Hsaio. “Tell us he’s crazy.”

Hsaio stares at the floor. Her voice sounds dead. “He’s crazy.”

“You’re a terrible liar,” Urie says, his stomach sinking.

Hsaio looks up at Kaneki. “You can’t fight them. You’ll lose.”

“You’re going to die early? No! I refuse!” Saiko shrieks. She wraps Hsaio in an embrace.

“If – if everything is a lie, how do we move forward?” Mutsuki waits anxiously for Sensei’s answer.

“I don’t know. I think joining with the ghouls already against the Washuus is a good first step,” says Kaneki.

“No,” Aura says. “I can’t betray my aunt.”

“In a way,” says Higemaru, “You’d be betraying her if you let her fight for a lie.”

“But I don’t have anyone else,” Aura whispers.

“You have us,” Kaneki says. “For what little I’m worth.”

“You’re worth a lot to me,” says Mutsuki.

“And me!” cries Saiko.

“We’ll support whatever you decide,” Urie says, nodding at Kaneki. For some reason, that warms his heart the most.

They’re his family.

Saiko and q-squad are preparing to fight the dragon thing when they run into touka’s squad in the battlefield. After realizing they were from GOAT, Saiko frantically asks for any news regarding Haise Sasaki, his whereabouts and if he is safe. Touka understands she means well and with a heavy heart has to say that the giant thing they have to fight is him.

“You’re GOAT? So you’re not behind this?” Saiko cries. Hsaio and Higemaru aim their kagunes towards Touka, the tearful Gourmet, Yotsume, and Serpent. Dawn emerges, and no one has a handle on this giant creature yet.

And now – now ghouls are coming to help, and as momentary leader of the Quinx Squad, Saiko is perfectly willing to accept this.

“Furuta was behind this,” Touka says furiously. To her surprise, none of the Quinxes seem all that shocked.

“Have you seen Haise Sasaki? Where is he?” demands the blue-haired girl.

Touka’s face falls. This girl must be… “You’re Yonebayashi Saiko.”

“How do you know me?” Saiko scowls.

“I’m close to Kaneki,” Touka says, her eyes filling with tears.

“So where is he?” asks Higemaru.

“Is he safe?” Saiko asks.

The Gourmet lets out another wail, and Yotsume begins crying, too.

“That is Kaneki.” Touka’s voice is fierce. None of the Quinxes think to doubt her.

Saiko catches her breath. Her voice trembles. “I don’t…I said I don’t want anyone to die anymore.”

“We rescued Urie. We can do this,” Hsaio says. Sure, this thing is nothing like a framed-out Urie, but bring Urie back to sanity was supposed to be impossible too, right?

“Please let us help,” whimpers the Gourmet.

“We call can. Because we’re going to rescue Maman,” Saiko snaps.

Touka smiles slightly. She likes this girl. And, just maybe, she feels a spark of hope.
