Sakamoto crew

I watched them running of as I fell over to the floor. I glaced at vision got blurry by the second. I groaned and gnashed my teeth, morning in silence.

"I know the feeling kid. Trust me I know. To them every ghoul is a monster". A voice said and I struggled to look up, seeing my old figure in front of me.

"who are…you? I muttered in a low whisper and apparently that was all I saw.

I woke up with my hands cuffed to my bed. I glanced around the room which looked like a Vatican city church house for nuns. I coughed out a bit as I felt the sharp pain in my head. I heard the door creaked and a mid aged man walked in.

"Hey, who the hell are you? I muttered as he ignored me and walked down to roll up the curtains. He let out a smirk and muttered to me.

"glad you are awake. I'll inform the master immediately"

I watched him walk away and close the door. I struggled to get the chains off as it felt hard to go off. I felt weak and a bit tired as I had used a lot of my strength last night. The fight was intensive and the revelation of me as a ghoul to my own parents. They called me a monster and ran away from me.

"Why? Why? I muttered to myself. But there was some one there right? Somebody walked up to me,, just before I went light out. An old figure, who muttered words. Did he take me up or something?

I exhaled largely as I felt I had broken my promise with Yumeko. Not like I cared but I couldn't consider going back if these guys plan to jump. The door creaked open again to the sight of the old man, probably in his late 70s. He let out a warm smile and offered to release me.

"Who are you? I asked immediately, the cuff was off.

"At least, well you walk with me". He offered and I decided to do it. As we walked, behind us was the butler from earlier. He kept his hands behind him. Wearing a suit, golden and black coloring of his long hair and decoy eyes.

"I am Sakamoto. Leader of a small ghoul unit. We prioritize on safety of other ghouls and training of the young ghouls. Not like we are big but we try to live a calm normal life. Away from people calling us monsters or whatever, we tend to blend in among the society of humans and suppress our fondness for human blood". He said and barely had his eyes open. He kept smiling constantly and kept his hands behind him as well. He had a light grey hair and dressed as a priest with the big gown.

"So why bring me here? I asked immediately.

"Because you had no where else to go and clearly, you fought well. One eyed ghoul". He said and opened his eyes to give me a death stare. I staggered backward and apparently fall down, it was as though he eyes were an epitome of fear. They were green but I eat they turn red when he transforms.

"Yeah, my parents called me a lot of things but monster was the heart breaking one of all". I muttered as he assisted me up my feet.

"indeed. This is Rafael by the way, He's a member of the family. He also had issues when he was young and came here, but after some years now. He's all grown up and doesn't care about eating humans as much as you do". Sakamoto said and I saw Rafael smile.

"What family? I muttered as I heard children laughing outside.

"I'll show you". He muttered and pushed forward. I followed with Rafael tagging along.

There was a door, which was basically the entrance door. Just as I thought it was a church and across the halls were children toys, which was picked by Rafael.

"I told her not to leave her dolls around". Rafael muttered and offered to get the old for us.

As we push a door open to the sight of children of a supposed orphan home, about to have breakfast. They all say around this long dinner table, with tables and spoons. I gasped as the sight was a beautiful.

"are they all…?

"No! They are humans. I might be a ghoul but I'll still carry on the works of God and help these poor children. Saving them from poverty everyday might just have him finally forgive me". He said and looked at me.

I gasped again as I covered my mouth with palms. I scoffed and enjoyed the view again, something about his words were passionate and true. I was start to feel a little at ease and I never felt any better.

"You are in luck, Ichigo. We are just about to have breakfast, care to join? Rafael asked and looked at me.

"Sure". I muttered and he smiled. I assisted in setting the table and offered food.

Apparently, Sakamoto wasn't joking when he said he was a priest as he went on to pray before we eat and that pretty much almost caught me off guard as I was the first to take a bite of my food. I learnt to pray from him and surprisingly, met someone even more interesting.
