I do not own Tokyo Ghoul.

Touka awoke from her dream. It was the same one she had been getting ever since Kaneki had come back. She wanted to talk to Kaneki about it, but never got the chance to. He was always going outside before Touka awoke, and coming back when she fell asleep. Touka was beginning to wonder if he really loved her at all. He didn't pay attention to her at all. He just walked past her like she wasn't there.

Touka got up, dressed, and went outside. Kaneki was lying on the couch, blood staining his shirt.

"Kaneki?" Touka rushed to his side. She lifted his shirt to reveal a deep wound on his chest. She gasped.

"Touka?" Kaneki asked weakly.

"Shh. Let me clean this." Touka got a first aid kit and cleaned it and wrapped it in bandages. She then rushed to her refrigerator and got a package of meat. Touka tried to give it to Kaneki but he stubbornly refused. He opened his mouth to say something but Touka just shoved it down his mouth. Kaneki's eyes widened, but he started chewing. He devoured the whole package and sighed.

"Thanks." He reached for Touka's hand.

"Hey, Kaneki. Why have you been going out everyday?" Touka was curious.

"... To get stronger. I've been training. I don't want the same thing with Arima to happen again." Kaneki tightened his grip on her hand.

Touka took his hand. "Why have you been ignoring me?"

Kaneki looked confused. "I have?" He rubbed his eyes. "I must be not getting the amount of sleep I need..."

Touka remembered why she wanted to talk to Kaneki in the first place. About her dream. "Kaneki... I've been having this dream..."

Touka explained the whole dream to him.

"That man that stabbed me... Could you describe him again?" Kaneki looked troubled.

"He had jet black hair, pale skin, white, emotionless eyes, his nails were red, he was barefoot, he wore shorts and a hoodie, and he had a kagune kind of like Tsukiyama's kagune."

Kaneki's eyes widened. They had something in them... Fear?

What could Kaneki be afraid of?

"If you ever see that guy in real life, come see me. After Arima, I was tortured by him... I almost died, if it wasn't for some of my friends that came to help. They didn't kill him though. He had run away." Kaneki's voice shook. "It was like Yamori all over again, Touka-chan! I felt so helpless. I felt so weak. I was unable to stop being captured by him; I walked right into his trap... and he tortured me."

Kaneki put his head in his hands, his eyes wide. His whole body was trembling in fear. Touka put her arm around him. "It's fine. I'm here."

Touka tried to comfort him, succeeding.

"Thanks." Kaneki looked up sadly. He pressed his lips onto hers gently. He slowly deepened the kiss and slipped his tongue into her mouth. Their tongues danced around, fighting for dominance. They broke away, panting.

Kaneki looked away. "Sorry... I couldn't stop myself-"

Touka reached for his hand. "It's fine. Didn't we confess to each other a while ago?"

Kaneki looked at her and smiled. "Yeah. I love you, Touka-chan."

"I love you, Kaneki." Touka smiled, happy to see Kaneki smile.

"Don't we have work?" Kaneki asked suddenly.

"Yeah, but you are not going to work until you're healed completely." Touka said.

She got up and headed out of the door. Before she closed it, Kaneki called, "Thanks for taking care of me."

Touka smiled and closed the door. She headed down where everybody asked where Kaneki was. She just told them and shrugged when they asked what caused the wounds. Several female customers asked where Kaneki was. He usually served them, causing Touka to have a weird feeling. She would watch them try to get him go on a date and growl to herself. Kaneki always refused kindly, saying he was seeing someone else. That didn't stop them from coming and trying over and over again. Every time, more and more females came to see him. They had good business, but it didn't stop Touka from having the weird feeling. She shook her head and started working.

After a week, Kaneki's wounds still didn't heal. Touka ended up dividing his shifts with everybody.

"Hey, Kaneki." Touka wanted to ask him something. "Who gave you those injuries?"

Kaneki looked away. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes."

Sadness clouded his grey eyes. "It was the person from your dream. His name is Daiki."

"Oh." Touka said in a small voice.

"He used to be my best friend. He really just wanted to torture me... He set up a trap which I walked straight into, not suspecting anything. That day when you found me... He encountered me again and gave me these..." Kaneki gestured at the wounds.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have asked." Touka apologized. She saw the look in Kaneki's eyes as he struggled to explain who gave him the wounds.

"It's fine... Come here." Kaneki held out his hand. Touka accepted it, smiling.

"What?"

"Come closer."

Touka went closer until their faces were just inches apart. His breath tickled her neck. Kaneki moved forward, kissing her.

"Thanks for taking my shifts. I'm going to start working." He said after they broke apart almost unwillingly.

"Are you sure? Are you done healing?" Kaneki could hear the concern.

"Yeah." He lifted his shirt up to show his wounds. He saw Touka blush at the sight of his well toned body. Kaneki tore off his bandages to show her the cuts that were already closing up. "See? I'm fine."

Touka ran her hand over his cuts then realized what she was doing. She looked away, her face red. "Sorry."

Kaneki caught her hand and kissed it. "Stop saying sorry."

"I'm going to take a shower."

Kaneki got up and headed toward the bathroom with a spare set of clothes that Touka bought for him. He was out none too quickly. He hadn't showered in a week. Kaneki realized that even with Touka feeding him meat, he was hungry for some freshly killed humans. Kaneki got his mask and headed out after tellling Touka. He tracked a human into an alley, where the human turned around. Kaneki froze. It was really a ghoul and he looked angry with his kagune out. He then realized he knew this man.

"Daiki?"
