[center][h2][b]Ward 3, Minato, Tokyo[/b] [color=yellow][b]Hana Kurosawa[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [hr] Hana eyed the situation carefully. One of the kids was red as a beet. Maybe because of the room wreck?. The corpse she had brought was there, displayed for everyone to see. But Takumi and Rin were displaying all sorts of reticence towards the catch. [i]Corpses don't grow on trees, you know.[/i] She sighed, sadly, seeing how that after 8 years, the catchup she was hoping to have would never happen. Asoka had grown tired and was sleeping. But well, that seemed for the best. She had only displayed her bad traits as an adult. She had even called them degenerates. Where was the old Asoka? The one who clung to the old man so adorably? Everything changed. Takumi, the clumsy, clueless boy turned ghoul was now a grown man. Physically unrecognizable, but Hana was glad Takumi's mind seemed somewhat...familiar to what he used to be. He hadn't done a total flip. But he was still... somewhat reticent on some regards. Rin seemed to pick that up, and like a cat wanting for cuddles, had stuck on him like glue. It was good...except it wasn't. Takumi's condition. Hana really wanted to study him. How much could one blur the line between human and ghoul, exactly? [i][color=yellow]You teasing little...[/color][/i] Hana thought for the briefest moment, as Rin surprised everyone by telling Takumi to flat out cuddle with her in her apartment. The nerve of some people! And she wasn't even talking to Hana. Nor asking for the cup of coffee. She was offering her best hospitality, damnit! [color=yellow]"You know Rin, I am reluctant to see you off. I mean, this ward might be my home quarters, but for someone like you, there's a lot of things to watch out for. Like the russian and Chinese ghoul gangs, on top of the CCG."[/color] She let that phrase with hopes she'd stay the night and save the sleepover, but it was faint. [color=yellow]"Be careful, okay?"[/color] The twins seemed to flinch upon the mention, eyeing Hana quizzically...fear was patent on their eyes. Mii displayed a very different scowl. Indignation. Probably feeling betrayed. It was really hard to please everyone... [color=yellow]"Don't worry my sweeties. Hana-chan is more than enough to protect you. Now, let's eat, shall we? Takkun... it's a shame you don't want some. Still, you might learn instead of Hana-chan's craft!" [/color] She addressed the other adult, before turning to the epic sulking expression Mii had. [color=brown]"What?"[/color] [color=yellow]"Ukaku. I'm the same as you. So watch intently, okay?"[/color] Hana blurted out, before flickering her kakugan, signaling the activation of her kagune...except it didn't, instead she cupped her shoulder blade, as her eyes turned normal after a fraction of second, producing one of the shards that usually were sent high speed towards targets. [color=yellow]"These are sharper than knives. It shall do."[/color] It was then when the spectacle unfolded. Hana's supernatural speed was revealed, as the corpse suddenly was filled with cuts, faster than the eye could see. Guided by the hand of a knowledgeable medic, with the lightning speed of a ghoul. before long, the abdominal cavity of the corpse was revealed. And not a single speck of blood had been spilled outside the bag. The twins were positively agape. "THAT WAS SO COOL!" [color=yellow]"Male, age 23. Cause of death, massive hemorrage produced by gunshot in the small intestine and spleen. Fortunately, all other major organs have been spared."[/color] She paused. [color=yellow]"I really should thank that Carrion Beetle. He really knows how to find these yakuza wannabe corpses who tried to live hard and died fast."[/color] She clasped her hands.[color=yellow]"Itadakimasu!"[/color] With an equally swift movement, she set aside five plates. First, the liver, it was split into two parts, one for Kazuya and one for Takeshi. Mii got the full set of Kidneys. As for the twins, they held their plates impatiently, before Hana, using her Kagune shard cut the cranium of the man open, scooping up the brain and dividing it by half. [color=yellow]"Eat up, eat up! Innards are the most nutritive, but they go to waste first. We can always eat the other meat later!"[/color] Hana chided, as she dug deep into the cavity, ripping the corpse's heart and happily setting it on another plate. Her plate. [color=yellow]"Ukaku perks. They really combine well with Hana-chan's medicine."[/color] She finally ventured to say, eyeing Mii. [color=yellow]"I could teach you guys."[/color]
