What is up my dudes?! Back with the next chapter! Please enjoy! ~FangirlFrenzy (ᵔᴥᵔ)

Yuu finished frosting a cupcake, and put it on a display shelf. "Good job, sweetie! They all look great!" Her grandmother said, coming down from the stairs and observing them.

Smiling, Yuu thanked her.

Her grandparents owned a small bakery, and Yuu sometimes helped out. Someday, she hoped, she would take it over. She loved anything that had to do with baking. Be it frosting, piping, she loved it all.

"Oh. Yuu, dear, tomorrow would you go to the grocery store? We are almost out of eggs and cream.."

"Yeah, of course, grandma."

"Fufufu, you are such a good kid.. Now, you'd better get to bed so you won't be tired in the morning." Her grandmother pulled up her bangs and gave her a light peck on the forehead. "Good night.. I love you, Yuu."

"I love you too, grandma."

"Make sure you say goodnight to your Grandpa."

Yuu laughed. "I will." And with that, she headed upstairs to go to bed.

Kaneki's shoulder banged up against an alley wall.

God, I'm hungry. I don't know how much longer I'll last..

Memories of Anteiku popped in his head, some of him learning how to make coffee, others laughing with his friends.

He grimaced. His white hair fell, covering his eyes.

Sliding down into a crouched position, cradling his head in his hands.

Just what did I do to go through all this pain?

The early morning of a chilly December came by. Yuu woke up, stretched, and headed to the bathroom to get ready.

Pulling on a plum colored sweater that her grandma knitted her, she quickly combed through her medium length brown hair, that was almost the color of a nice dark chocolate glaze.

Walking downstairs, her grandparents greeted her.

"I'm off to the store! Need anything else than eggs and cream?"

"No, we are good on everything else. Thank you again, sweetheart."

"Yep."

Yuu walked out the door, feeling the bitter wind hit her pale face. She blew warm air into her hands, taking in the beauty of the early winter morning.

Somehow, she had a feeling that this was going to be a good day.

She walked into the store, enjoying the warmth of the heater. Yuu grabbed the items she needed, and walked towards the check-out.

When she walked out of an aisle, two men came out at the same time and accidentally bumped into her.

"Oi! Brat! What do you think you are doing? Watch where you are going!"

"I-I'm sorry."

"Ehh? What are you going to do to make it up?" One of them reached for Yuu's arm.

Another arm stopped the man. It was a popular boy from her school, one with a kind smile and warm face. A rare person, Yuu thought, one that didn't tease her.

"I think that's enough.. It was just as much of your fault as her's." He smiled.

The men clicked their tongues and left.

"Thank you so much! How could I repay you?" Yuu asked.

The boy smiled again. "Haha, there's no need to repay me. It was the right thing to do."

Yuu gave him the best smile she could manage. "Well, thank you again!"

He waved to her and left. This had to be the first time someone from her school actually helped her instead of hurt her, so she was very happy.

Bubbly, she walked to the counter, paid for the items, and walked home.

She didn't even notice the man sitting near an alley, about to die of starvation.

A young woman passed by Kaneki.

He sniffed.

Aah, fresh meat.

He couldn't even begin to imagine how nice it would be to bite into a young person, their flesh warm, soft and juicy..

He began to drool.

My god, the next person who comes near me will get eaten. No doubts.

When Yuu walked into her Grandparents bakery, she breathed in a wonderful smell of freshly baked goods and- wait. A faint smell of an animal?

She put the grocery items into the fridge and walked into the living room, where her grandparents were.

"Grandpa? Grandma? Why does it smell like an a-"

She paused. On the floor, a red ribbon tied beautifully around the neck like a collar was an Irish wolfhound puppy.

"Merry Christmas, Yuu!" Her Grandparents said in harmony, releasing the dog. It scurried over to Yuu, where she crouched to meet it and it licked her face, tail wagging wildly.

"O-oh my gosh! A puppy!" She held it up, and hugged and kissed it. "Thank you so much! I love him!"

Her grandparents smiled and held hands. "It's a bit early, but we figured that we should give him to you now."

"What are you going to name him?" Yuu's grandpa asked.

"Hmm.." Yuu pondered. "What about.. Ah! I got it! Ill name him Kouta!"

"Yes, I think it will fit him." Her grandmother agreed.

"Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!" She said again, running over to hug them.

They chuckled. "I'm glad you like it, Yuu. Later tonight, let's go out to eat. A special Christmas dinner."

And with that, they sat on the couch, hugging each other and enjoying the company of one another, not knowing that this would be the last peaceful time of their lives together.
