SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

He didn’t know if the ghoul had finally smelled him, or if he had made a noise that was barely audible, but they turned to face Motochika. He could see the red glow of their eyes behind the lace fabric of their mask, blood covering their face as a terrified sneer came across their face. His quinque was knocked back by the ghouls Kagune, three thin red whips coming from the center of the flower like koukaku on their back.
 
Nana’s heart beat wildly in her chest, how had an investigator snuck up on her like that, had she really been so careless? She got to her feet and parried the second strike, moving to strike him with her Kagune, but froze when she saw his face clearly. It was Motochika, what was he doing there, and why did he have a quinque?
 
Nana was nearly crushed by the weapon, diving to the side with a grunt before springing back to her feet. She had to run, if Motochika was a Dove, that meant more Doves were bound to be coming. She’d have to abandon her meal, using the thin whips of her Kagune to strike the ground hard and stir up dust between them as a cover before running. He hadn’t seen her face, so she was fine, as long as she got away.
 
She was fast, but he was still able to keep up with her. Nana did everything she could to stop Motochika without hurting him- using her Kagune to try and trip him, targeting only his weapon, but he was on her like a bloodhound.
 
Nana went down hard tumbling roughly before she was able to manage to get herself upright once more.
 
Nana froze where she was, breathing hard, a cold sweat dripping down her face. He couldn’t make out any features, only her mouth and neck exposed.
 
Nana clenched her teeth, she had no choice, she had to fight back against Motochika, even if she hurt him a little. She used the back of her hand to smack the quinque away, taking a step forward and punching him hard in the gut.
 
He wheezed and coughed before grabbing her by the throat and ramming his knee into her sternum. He dropped his quinque so he could slam his elbow into her jaw as hard as he possibly could, wanting her to be at least dazed so she wouldn't struggle before he killed her.
 
When he slammed his elbow into her face, it knocked her mask off her face, a pained expression in the familiar face of Nana, his classmate. She was stunned alright, seeing stars and unable to take a breath, not realizing yet her mask had come off.
 
Nana’s entire body went rigid when he said her name, eyes widening in fear as she looked up at him in horror. Her hand moved over where her mask should’ve been, before she knocked his hand away from her throat. Her Kagune broke apart and disappeared as she fled, grabbing only her mask before she did.
 
She was much faster now with her koukaku gone, and it only took her one building to scale up to lose him. She disappeared from his line of sight once she reached the rooftops, leaving Motochika by himself. She had looked so scared, and even after trying to kill her, she hadn’t actually tried to kill him- why? It would’ve been easy for her, yet she left him alive.
 
He just wanted some answers. And yeah, he tried to kill her, but he wouldn't now that he knew it was her. He exhaled and moved back to get his quinque, heading home for the night.
 
He could simply get the answers he wanted from her tomorrow at school, he would confront her there and demand the answers that buzzed in his head.
 
She couldn't hide from him at school, not a chance. The next day, he actually showed up to look for her, the other students and teachers surprised to see him.
 
No matter how hard he searched, he didn’t see a single sign of her at all, the spot where she usually sat remaining empty, and soon classes were coming to an end. Of course she didn’t show up, she was a ghoul who had just been found out, but how else was he supposed to find her?
 
He would have to talk with the teachers and her friends to get her address, but surely they could talk such a thing out, she could explain why she had killed and it would fix everything, right?
