Panic. Starvation. Lust. That's what she was feeling.
Kamishiro Rize
She couldn't recognize him over her hungry, desperate state. Yomo was keeping her hungry on purpose, preventing her from breaking her restraints.
Seeing her in such a state, depressing, pitiful. She has tried to kill him in cold blood, devour him, end his life. Yet why couldn't he rid of this feeling he clung onto.
I still love her.
How stupid could he get? She sees him as food, no different that Tsukiyama did. But he was a ghoul now, was he not? He wouldn't have to worry about her feeding on him, he could be with her. But what chances could he take?
Rize…
Kaneki lowered himself to his knees, staring, observing her. He could feel his former self start to return to him, as tears began to form in his eyes. What reason did he have to cry? Why weep for her?
But he still found himself scooting closer to her. She raised her head, drooling, blood lust overtaking her features. She didn't care. She wanted to eat him.
Closer.
Closer.
Before he could realize it, Kaneki was already inches away from her. Rize's kakugan had been activated before he had even started to move. Her body twitched, spazzing almost, eyes wide with pure bloodlust. Almost like lightning, she jumped on him, pushing Kaneki back, arms wrapped around his shoulders, face buried in his shoulder. He knew what was coming.
An outsider would mistake them for being in a lovers embrace; but that was not the case. No, she bit into his shoulder, breaking the skin, crushing muscle in between her teeth, biting deeper and deeper, not bothering to lift her head to chew. It hurt. It hurt so much. But he didn't fight.
Deeper.
Deeper.
By now, Kaneki's screams had died out. But Rize paid no heed to his pain and continued to feast.
"So delicious."
By now, Kaneki had shut his eyes, waiting for the pain to stop.
"More!"
"More!"
He moved his weakened arms to wrap around her waist, bringing her closer.
It's better to be hurt than to hurt others.
"Kaneki-saaaan~! Let's be together...forever."
She had regained her senses and finally recognized him.
As dazed and exhausted as he was, Kaneki dropped his forehead on her shoulder, exhausted.
This will heal
She bit deeper.
