Chapter 50 - Dissentious
"You guys can go back if you want, it's safer that way," Shino said grabbing his bag as he walk to the other corner.
There was silence between the other bio-genetics. Ten's eyes shake as his fist tighten.
"He's such an idiot" Kaneki murmured to himself, but then his eyes sadden remembering his words.
"What is left of us if we don't do a damn thing?"
His teeth clenched.
Shino sat at a corner away from the others, lost in thought, if it came down to it, he would have to finish the mission alone.
"Shino-san" Ten said walking up to him.
Shino raised his head at the sound of Ten's voice.
"You should head back with the others," Shino said as he began loading his gun with bullets.
"It's almost sundown, we can all head out at dawn, the rest of you can head back to base, I will complete the mission," he said cocking his gun.
Ten's look darkens at his words, his fist clenched tightly.
"That must be a joke" he began with a strong voice.
Shino paused his action facing him.
"Leave you here all by yourself? Those things will kill you before you even get a chance" he spoke up.
"Forget the guns, those things are faster than we are".
"Still.." Shino said.
"I can't just sit back and do nothing"
"No one wants to do nothing, I don't wanna do nothing," Ten said sternly.
"I'm going with you Shino-san" he adds with determination in his eyes.
Shino froze at his words.
"Ten," Shino said.
Ten adjusted his glasses.
"I too am also uncomfortable with all this and I wanna find out the reason for all this too. There's too much of a mystery going on here, the world is my personal knowledge book and I have no intention of backing down now like II said I can't just do nothing" he said sternly.
"I will follow you, and complete the mission".
A small smile found Shino's lips.
"Thank you Ten," he said sincerely.
"For always taking my side, but I have to do this alone, for the safety of all of you" he adds sternly.
"Shino-san!" Ten hissed.
"Trying to be a hero all by yourself huh?" Fujio said stepping in.
"Fuijo" Shino said as he froze.
"Well, that's too bad because I'm coming too," he said too.
Shino abruptly stands to his feet about saying something.
"Hope there's room for one more," Haya said cutting Shino off as she steps forward.
"You're not the only one who wanna complete the mission" she adds.
"Me too!" a boy called Yajima Mizuki spoke up, he had navy blue hair and cherry red eyes. A smile against his lips.
'Why is he smiling?' Ten thought sweat dropping behind his head, he recognized the guy and come to think of it, he always smiles, even during their training when setting his gun, a peaceful smile was against his lip, this boy was odd to Ten, a skeptical look formed on his features.
"Why are you guys doing this... we might not survive," he said faintly but they heard him.
Sumi watch with a dark expression, her jacket torn at where she was wounded as she tired her wounded arm with a white bandage.
She ticks her tongue gaining their attention.
"You all must surely have a death wish," she said in a bored tone, done with the bandage, she grabs a snack.
"No one's your asking your opinion," Ten said with a frown not ready to deal with her sick dilemma.
She ignored him, just making a hmm sound.
"Even after experiencing several deaths and monstrous creatures you call the kaiju's, try to eat us, you still wanna go out there and finish the mission," she said sarcastically biting down on her snack
"I'm impressed" she adds before chewing on her snack, splitting it out.
"Gah! That tastes awful, what did they put in this?" she said with a frown assessing the snack yellow in color
"Ignore her," Shino said with dark looks.
"Definitely," Ten said as his glasses shinned white.

Yuki ventured into another part of the building they hid in, the rest of the place was destroyed covered in building blocks, a ray of sunlight from outside reflecting in, she halts as her fist tighten remembering Haya's words.
"Everything must be a joke to you... even when you heard about Hiro's death you didn't even shed a tear, weren't you the one who always stuck by him? Well, then Hiro is a liability too!"
'Hiro's not a liability' she thought with a stern look, before continuing her walk but then she halts, seeing a plate signboard 'Takada Dojo'. It was on the ground covered in dirt. She blinked, her eyes scanning the area.
"Mirai-chan your family-owned this Dojo?".
She heard Yumi's voice, she turned, at a corner both Yumi and Mirai were present, Mirai assessing the wall like she was familiar with it.
"Our family owned this dojo under our care... I didn't even recognize the building... it's all in ruins now" she said sadly.
Ignoring them Yuki continued her walk, just assessing the place but a way of avoiding everyone, what she needed right now.
Her eyes landed on rubble, her eyes caught something beneath, she reach for it by removing the small rocks, and then her eyes lands on two katana swords
"A Katana..." she said assessing them, they were both in poor shape but one was still looking usable, to Yuki, it was better than a gun that wasn't useful.
She reaches for it, taking one, suddenly the moment she took one, she gasps with widening eyes.
*Heart Beats Slowly*
*
A memory flashed in her head, but Yuki couldn't see herself, just eyes blinking from her point of view. it was foggy and dull, the area she was, was unidentified but she knew she was in bed.
Her eyes caught toys scattered on a bed, ninja toys. And then her view turned to a man, but his face couldn't be seen only his lip, as he smiled warmly.
*
"Yuki!" Mirai called.
Yuki quickly let out a gasp like she was drowning, she was already on her knees, her hands against the dirt floor, Mirai squatting beside her wearing a worried look.
"Are you okay? I saw you stiff, I was beginning to wonder" she said worriedly.
Yuki held her head as her nose trailed blood, Mirai gasps at the sight.
"My purpose," Yuki said with shaky eyes.
"I can't remember my purpose".
