Chapter Three: Process Of Elimination

Kodia smiled. “You’re a terrible liar.”

Amon’s gaze narrowed on Kodia. Juuzou had seen many a man melt under that very stare but Kodia was unphased. Instead he or she turned their attention back to Kaneki. “How’s the coffee? Alright?”

Kaneki nodded as he swallowed a mouthful. “Yes, thank you. I hope Juuzou doesn’t mind…”

“Meh,” Kodia shrugged, “blame me.” Kodia winked at Kaneki earning another small chuckle.

Something bubbled up from deep down forcing Juuzou forward. He had an appointment to keep.

“Oi! There you are! I was beginning to think you stood me up. Then again that tracks with you being rude and all.” Another bite of cake disappeared.

Amon blinked then turned to find Juuzou next to him. “You should wear a bell or something.”

Juuzou stared. Two people were talking to him? At once?

“Amon?” Akira Mado, Amon’s partner, approached carrying a classified file. He instantly recognized it as the White Knight’s started yesterday. “Kaneki. And you are?”

“Kodia.” The two shook hands briefly before Akira turned her attention back to Amon.

Kodia’s face firmed up as he or she looked at Akira. It was good forty-five seconds before they spoke. “Is everyone around here rude?”

This gained both Amon and Akira’s attention. “I beg your pardon?” Akira’s face was unreadable, then again that was nothing new with Juuzou.

Kodia folded their arms over the table. “It’s not my pardon you should be begging for.”

“What does that mean?” Akira’s tone was flat.

“You said ‘ello to everyone here, including me and you don’t even know me except for him.” Kodia nodded in Juuzou’s direction.

What was Kodia doing?

Chapter Three: Process of Elimination

---

“Ofh!” The stranger and Kaneki collided knocking both to the floor. Paper went everywhere with a small curse from Kaneki. “I am so sorry!” The stranger said as they scrambled up to help Kaneki. “I dear say I have tunnel vision when it comes to coffee and anything with sugar.” The stranger handed Kaneki some papers with a smile. “Do you drink coffee? Would you like to join me for a spot and cake?” The stranger stood with a ringed hand held out to Kaneki.

Kaneki blinked and took the offered help. “Um, I don’t eat cake.”

“Well that’s a bloody shame.” The stranger walked up to Sweets with Kaneki following. The stranger braced against the counter, the other hand on their hip. “Are you a diabetic?”

“Huh?”

“Cake.” The stranger said. “Is that why you don’t eat cake? Ohhhhh!” The stranger pointed a finger at Kaneki. “Are you one of those gluten free people?”

Kaneki blinked a few times and looked from the stranger to Daniel. “No, I’m a ghoul.” He said as if to answer the stranger’s question and clarify everything.

“Aw, well through the process of elimination that makes sense.” The stranger smiled and held out their hand. “Hello, I’m a ghoul, Kodai, pleasure to meet you.” Kanaki shook Kodia’s hand. “So, coffee then?”

“Juuzou!?” Kaneki’s scream rung in his ears. “Get up!” Juuzou groaned, the grit under his cheek felt like sandpaper. “Juuzou!” Kaneki screamed again.

A loud ominous crunch sounded all too much like concrete giving way under a ghoul’s kagune.

Juuzou forced open his eyes to find the nearly destroyed city block half in flames. “Ugh…” His head hurt and blood dripped from his chin. Heat from the fire finally registered over his skin.

A manic laugh drew his attention. The Ditch Digger towered above Kaneki, his wing like kagune pulsed with intent. “Too much, too much.” The ghoul said with a smirk.

Juuzou swallowed and reached for his quinque to use it as a crutch to help himself up. Pain zapped down his neck but he had to stand up.

Aogiri Tree surrounded them, perched everywhere like red crows watching The Ditch Digger torture Kaneki. They had walked right into an ambush like damn fools. Worst yet, neither suspected a thing.

The Dith Digger’s gaze found him and so did that insistent smile. “Such stamina for a human.” He said as he stalked over.

“No- Aw!” Kaneki tried to get up but a flex of the Digger’s kagune sent shards through his gut.

Juuzou stood, frozen, it wasn’t Kaneki on the ground but Shinohara… It was all his fault.

“I think I just might eat all of you.” The Ditch Digger flared his kagune with a murderous smirk Juuzou knew all too well.

He had to move.

Fight back.

Now!

But Juuzou was frozen. The moment he lost Shinohara seared into his mind.

“Aww,” The Digger said, ”here I was hoping for more of a fight.”

Juuzou closed his eyes against the coming death blow. He deserved this after his mistake just over a year ago. Afterall, Shinohara’s condition was his doing… He wasn’t strong enough. Besides if he died no one would miss him or care. All he’d get was a wooden box in a field of other unclaimed souls.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five…

Chapter One: Rude Little Thing

---

This person’s hair was shorter in the back and longer in the front, it fit his or her face well. It appeared black but when the light hit it shined a deep blue. Green eyes moved over the paper and several rings decorated their fingers, some sat at their joints. This person wore a light grey hoodie under a black suit jacket with tight dark jeans and dark green boots. A discarded pile from the paper sat on the table.

He or she turned the page and flicked it to get just so. Their rings caught the sun from the window and a flash of silver shot straight to his core. The room was dark, the scraping of metal against metal grinded his nerves. A flame of light, a candle, caught the silver instruments Momma hung on the wall…

Juuzou stepped backward but came up short when the wall smacked his shoulders, jarring him back to the sweet shop. His hands shook. He clenched both into fists to hide it. Luckily, like always, no one seemed to notice him at all.

Code Name: White Knight Outline

Is complete at 18 chapters. My hope is to write this fic along side RH Null after the first of the year. This fic will not center on Kaneki like so many others but Juuzou and his journey to becoming whole.*

Here’s a sneak peak at one inspiration pic of the White Knight’s mask, sadly it was not made by Uta.

*Reminder: this fic is my take on what happens after the season two anime, some elements from the manga will appear but this is my vision
