A/N: Hey everyone, this is my first fanfic. As many have noted, Tokyo Ghoul is a deeper, darker type of Anime/Manga. Pssssh, I'll make it work.
This takes place post-Kaneki's transformation into a "heartless bastard (beginning of Aogiri Tree Arc)". This is going to switch between Kaneki & Touka, as this is a fanfic about the two.
Multiple chapters will come hopefully to hook more people onto this ship 3
Enjoy!
Kaneki has changed.
Many say it was drastic, but Kaneki only now feels stronger.
He certainly isn't lonely, considering he has a new pack now.
But something was missing.
Beneath all the grittiness of his new transformation, he still didn't feel at home.
Damn, he never would have thought he would miss them this much.
To save them, he would have to become stronger.
Touka...
Pushing off the thoughts, he headed back into the cold world.
Damn it! That idiot!
Touka had never thought it through before, but deep down she wanted Kaneki to come back to Anteiku.
Silently, she was cursing him out in her head.
That white hair... what the hell did they do to him?
And... those god awful black nails... they don't suit Kaneki.
Get him out of your head, he's gone, she silently thought
Plus, what was with the finger cracking? It made her cringe everytime she played it over in her head.
She could still sense him in the distance. Maybe it was an illusion. At least she still had Hinami...
"Touka-Chan! Stop daydreaming, silly!"
Hinami.
She always put a smile on Touka's face, usually a rarity in prescence of other people.
"Hey, Hinami. What have you been up to?"
"Uh, nothing Touka-Chan! Just thinking..."
Touka studied her closely. Her eyes were more moist than usual, probably crying.
"Is anything wrong?"
"I, I miss hi-"
"Don't think about him. It worries me too, and I feel the same way. Just put it off for now, please?"
With a nod of her head and a cherry smile, Hinami slowly walked out the door of Touka's room.
Why does it have to be like this? Everything was... almost perfect with him around...
Eventually deciding to leave it be for the night, Touka fell into a deep sleep.
Hunting is natural now to Kaneki.
Whether it be Ghoul or Human, he can make it work.
Picking off the last of the flesh from his last victim, he silently wondered this.
Why am I a Ghoul? Why me?
Coincidence is the best option.
Kaneki accepted the terms when he joined Aogiri Tree, now knowing he is a full on Ghoul.
Just because Kaneki is a high rank in Aogiri Tree doesn't make him any less lonely.
Yes, he is slowly developing mental instability, being separated from the ones he trusts.
His eyes don't suit him anymore, all clouded and deceiving.
AS new physical and personality traits develop, the more he wonders if he will be accepted back.
This is neccessary to get stronger. To protect Anteiku.
And Touka...
Nobody knew, but Kaneki had more feelings for Touka than anybody else working at Anteiku.
"I hope she understands this was for the best..."
(Crack)
When he thought about her, he cracked his fingers more.
Another habit he picked up from...
No, don't think about it.
Being tortured was the worst thing that could happen, but finally unleashed his inner Ghoul.
Maybe it wasn't the worst. Being lonely was worse...
"Just finish your job, and come back to them...," Kaneki whispered to himself, "I will see them again. All of them. Just wait a bit longer, Touka..."

A/N: Yes, it does get a bit uh, off topic at places, working on this in the next chapter.
Remember, this is my first fic, so I'll develop better writing in the future!
