Ken, wake up it's feeding time."
Kaneki grunted and further buried his head on the soft cloth of his pillow. It was far too early and the Half-Ghoul just wanted to sleep some more. He heard the human sigh and once again told him to get up. Kaneki peeked up from his pillow to glare at the intruder. He grunted and slowly sat up while rubbing his eye to rid the drowsiness away. He tilted his head as he caught the scent of sweet, delicious meat that rested on a metal dishware held in the hands of the man.
"Alright, here you go. Try not to make to much of a mess," said the raven haired human. He opened a smaller gate next to the larger gate of Kaneki's cage to slip the meat inside. Kaneki heard a small 'click' from the man's hand and the metal bars of his muzzle slid back into its compartment to let the him gain access to his mouth. The Ghoul cautiously approached the food and crouched down in front of the meat. He picked it up and gave it a testing sniff before opening his jaws to chomp away the meat. Kaneki felt his vocal chords vibrate as he purred in satisfaction.
Amon got chills up his spine as he watched the Ghoul eat. Years in the CCG and it still made him uncomfortable to witness such savagery of Ghouls feeding. He studied the Ghoul's appearance once more. It's bleached hair looked pretty soft to the touch and its skin was pale. For some reason, its nails were black, or was it a darker shade of purple or red? The Ghoul also wore a skin tight long sleeved shirt with silver metallic accents around the torso and stomach area. He was told that it was laced with quinque steel to prevent its Kagune from breaking out. The Ghoul also wore baggy pants with its feet bared. Ametal collar was around its neck, but inside the collar were wires that makes it spike with electricity with a single button press. There was also a muzzle with bars that can be retracted if he pressedthe button on another device that was given to him. The muzzle makes it easier for the Ghoul to eat and to restrain it from eating Amon himself.
The investigator then left the Ghoul to continue eating while he gets ready to work. Recently, he was transferred to Mado Squad to work with Akira and Seidou. Before leaving his house, he checked in on the Ghoul to find it curled up on its bed.
'Asleep already?'Amon let his gaze linger on the Ghoul for another few seconds then left, knowing that the Ghoul won't be doing much.'Maybe I should buy something to make it occupied...'
'Where... Where where where?'Kaneki grunted as he paced back and forth around his cage. His black nails scratched his white hair in frustration.'Where is he...?'
Even though it hasn't been a week, Kaneki was attached to the human. He gave him meat! The humans back at old place didn't give him anything for hours, days, weeks! This man was nicer, Kaneki liked him already. As long as the man didn't do anything bad to him, then Kaneki will play nice in return. He huffed and sat in front of the metal saucer. He picked it up and started to chew on it to keep his mind away from the man. Plus, it felt nice to chew on something. He took a nap after every hour then resumed back to chewing on on the saucer.
After waking up from his nap, Kaneki yawned and turned to look out the window and saw dark sky and sprinkles of stars. He tilted his head and glanced down at the destroyed saucer.'Night already?'
He sat up from his position when his enhanced hearing heard the door open.'He's back!'
Amon stared down at the plastic that held a few stuffed animals and a chew toy. There was also a Sen Takatsuki book too. Seidou recommended them to him when he learned that Amon was having problems with his pet.
"Well what about a book?" Seidou recommended as he stretched his straining arms from hours of doing paperwork and Ghoul reports.
"A book? Why?" Amon asked with a curiosity.
Seidou just shrugged, "Who knows, maybe some Ghouls enjoy reading? I don't know if all they know is kill and eat."
'Kill and eat, huh?'Amon shifted his brief case and the plastic bag as he opened the door. After locking up, he entered the Ghoul's personal room to find it looking up at him with its wide mismatched eyes. He shifted his attention to the completely chewed up saucer he used to feed the Ghoul. He sighed,'II forgot to shut its muzzle. Well then, it really was a good idea to buy these.'
Amon crouched down in front of the Ghoul and took out a chew toy and cautiously held it in front of him. He let the Ghoul sniff the object and successfully caught the toy in its mouth when Amon threw it through the bars of the cage. He watched the Ghoul happily chew on it, then tapped the cage to gain its attention.
"Do you... know how to read?" Amon asked rather dumbly. But who could blame him, though? Ghouls were known to be killing machines, not studious scholars. The Ghoul, with the toy still in its mouth, tilted its head curiously. It crawled towards him and plopped down, slowly chewing on its new toy. Amon took his cue and brought out the book and slid it through the bars. The Ghoul also sniffed the object before taking it with its pale hands. Amon was still curious on how it hadblack nails.And from the looks of it, the color was either a mutation or hereditary.
Amon was surprised when the Ghoul flipped through the pages and hummed through its chew toy (that was still in its mouth) and began to skim through the words with eyes filled with happiness and wonder.
The investigator took the time to observe the Ghoul with an uncharacteristically fond expression.'I guess I'm going to the bookstore tomorrow.'
