Kaneki opens his eyes as light seems to invade the darkness of his room, jerking him awake. His current room at Anteiku was just the same as when he went to sleep, a relief considering past events, but the events of last night in particular he just couldn't forget.

Touka just sleep walking into his room and doing all sorts of things to him. Touching him, kissing him…

Kaneki shook his head in frustration. What did those events even mean? Anyway, he had things to do today. And that first thing was getting out of bed.

Kaneki slowly but surely moved his legs to the side of the bed, straightening himself, although his body begged him to stop. The events of the previous day at the chapel had caught up with him and he was exhausted. He stood and redressed himself into his casual clothes and went down stairs where he found the manager, Yoshimura. While Hinami while down there as well, as well as Kaya and Enji, Touka was nowhere to be found.

'Onii-chan!' Hinami said, already out of her chair on her way to Kaneki, leaping into him, wrapping her arms around him into a furious hug.

This resulted from a small grunt and smile from Kaneki, 'GRUNT… morning Hinami, good to see you too.'

'Onii-chan, I hope you're okay and recovered from the events last night!'

'I'm fine Hinami…' Kaneki replied, smiling slightly, reaching down to ruffle her hair. Kaneki looked over to the manager, who with Kaya and Enji were also smiling at the affection Hinami was showing to Kaneki. But Kaneki realised Nishiki was nowhere to be found.

Perhaps anticipating his question, Yoshimura said, 'Nishiki is in another room, his wounds being checked by a doctor. He took quite a beating.'

'Where's Touka though?' Kaneki asked in reply. Kaya and Enji looked and each other and then back at him. It was there they were doing their conspirator look response.

'She's not coming out of her room,' Kaya replied.

'We even tried using Hinami to try and get her out,' Enji added, chuckling slightly, causing a smile from both Yoshimura and Kaya.

'Yes, Onee-chan was quite set on not coming out of her room,' Hinami interjected.

'And when using Hinami fails, you know that there's not much left.' Enji continued.

Even Kaneki had to smile at that, 'It's true… she can be quite stubborn when she wants to be…' But at the back of Kaneki's mind, he was thinking, 'Why was she being stubborn about talking to people TODAY in particular, after last night? It can't be a coincidence….'

'Kaneki,' Yoshimura said, getting Kaneki's attention. 'You've been through a lot, you've got today off,' Yoshimura said with a smile.

Kaya and Enji both laughed at that and Kaneki couldn't help but join them. 'Oh that's right… my shift was today.'

'You should probably go get some rest back at your house, and have some rest in a familiar background. Maybe see your friends at school. Until you've got your strength back, you got time off.' Kaneki couldn't believe it. So much time off… 'And don't worry about being any danger, we've got agents in the background that while watch you until the attention dies down.'

'Thanks Yoshimura.' Kaneki said as he turned to leave.

'You're too kind Yoshimura…' Enji said to Yoshimura as Kaneki started his way home.

Yoshimura chuckled and said, 'I know, Enji… I know.'

Although Kaneki had wanted to talk to Touka about last night before he went home, he really did want to rest some more. He had some food back at home as well as coffee and once he had his strength back, he had to visit Hide. After what had happened last night, he needed some stable normalcy… Kaneki continued down the road as his continued towards his house when he decided to cut through the park. He wanted to enjoy the day after all, especially after last night. He just wished Touka could explain last night to him…

Touka wished she could explain last night to Kaneki but she just couldn't. She had decided to forget about the dream from last night for now, but she knew that Kaneki could want some answers. While she did acknowledge that she liked Kaneki, she didn't know how to deal with those emotions and how to tell him about it.

She had heard Kaneki pass her room and she went to the door and was about to open the door when she realised what she was about to do. She then almost through herself away from the door and onto her bed. She just wanted to leapt into his arms and have him embrace her. But the other part of her wanted to hit him in embarrassment of last night. All of her knew that she wanted to get back at him.

She heard the conversation between Yoshimura, Kaneki and the others and heard him leave the building. Suddenly, her mind thought of something, 'This is my chance!' Touka thought. 'I can do… something…' Touka was now unsure. What did she intend to do to him when she caught him? Punish him but how? But she knew what she was going to do for now, so she opened the window and leapt down to the floor below and sprinted to the front of Anteiku and after Kaneki.

Once she found him, she slowed down to a walk and stayed in the shadows, following him wherever he was going. She still had no idea of what she was going to do when she got to him but both her heart and mind told her to do something, just they were telling her different things… Then she saw him enter his house… and she moved to follow him.

Kaneki sighed as he closed the door behind him, entered the living room of his home and sat on his couch. The walk over was actually surprisingly tiring needed some relaxation, or maybe a nap, first. Then he would head over to Hide's.

Kaneki heard the creak of the door opening and closing quickly. Kaneki became confused.

'I wonder who that is?' he thought. 'Nobody else should be allowed in. So who could it be?'

Lacking any other option, Kaneki got up and moved to check on the door. The door was still there… a good sign at this point! Structurally sound, it had just been opened and closed. 'I must've forgotten to open it.' Kaneki thought. Though now alert, Kaneki walked back the way he came back to the living room. Fate it seemed had other plans…

Within moments of entering the living room, a figure pushed him to the ground, now sitting on his chest. Kaneki looked up and it was… Touka? Now what was she doing here?

'We've got to stop meeting like this Touka…' Kaneki said smiling at her.

While flushed, she generated her Kagune from her left shoulder, her beautiful black wing, and ready for combat. Kaneki for a second was entranced by her Kagune, Kimi (Nishiki's girlfriend) was actually quite right… it was quite striking. Kaneki groaned, for many reasons. Firstly, this was the second time she just sat on his chest, and having someone sit on you was actually quite heavy. The other main reason however, was the bulge in his pants.

'I bet you're wondering why I'm here Kaneki.' Her weight, as well as her hands on either side of his body, kept him quite pinned to the spot.

'Yes I am a BIT curious about why you're here. So… why are you here? I mean… apart from wanting to sit on my chest two times on one day.' Kaneki asked her with a conceited attitude and smile.

Touka seemed to get angry at that. It was not the response that she had expected from him. 'Well, you kissed me last night… and nearly had your lustful way with me…'

'Now hang on a minute!' Kaneki responded. 'YOU came into MY room Touka.'

She seemed to disregard his last statement. '… So now it's time for your punishment Kaneki.' She smiled at this. Her Kagune seemed to move closer to the both of them after that. Kaneki sweated a little at that. 'And do you know what your punishment is?'

Kaneki, unsurprisingly, did not know what his punishment was. 'No Touka, I do not know what my punishment is… why don't you enlighten me?' Kaneki was feeling surprisingly cocky with the intruder just being her and not another enemy. This was, however, all an act. Inside, Kaneki was feeling quite nervous about how Touka planned to 'punish' him. He knew, however, that he would never be respected if he did not 'fight back' some of the time and he wanted to show her that he was every bit as cocky as she was.

Her gaze changed from playful, to silently furious at that. Using her left hand, she punched him lightly in the ribs, drawing a cry from Kaneki at the slight pain. But Touka's punches, her punishments, were horrible and were only going to get worse…

'Did that hurt Kaneki?'

Kaneki was slightly surprised at how this was playing out. She seemed to be having fun on how to punish him and was doing it playfully! When he didn't respond within her time frame, she punched him again.

'OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, TOUKA! That…'

'Hurt?'

Kaneki didn't respond.

Touka pressed her lips next to his ear, surprisingly close, and said, 'That hurt, didn't it Kaneki? The punishment hurt. Say it.'

Knowing her reaction, he spoke up, 'Yes Touka, it did hurt.'

With her lips still next to his ear, she said, 'Do you think you should be punished more? Punished for kissing me while I was sleeping?'

'But you were…'

Another punch.

'OWWWW.'

'Answer the question Kaneki.'

'No, I do not think I should be punished Touka,' Kaneki said, with a slight ironic meaning.

'And why's that?'

Touka keeping her lips next to his ear for so long was punishment enough. It wasn't helping his thought processes and the bulge in his pants. Trying to ignore all of that, he replied, 'Because you slept walked into my room and, even if you were dreaming about whatever it is you WERE dreaming about, you got me to do it. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't have stopped you.'

'So you did want it… you did ENJOY it…'

Kaneki flushed at that. He hadn't wanted to annoy Touka by waking her up. But he hadn't ENJOYED USING her had you? No he had just… enjoyed…

'Come on brain! Get to the point!'

He had enjoyed… being with her. He had enjoyed kissing her and wishing she had been awake. That she treated him like that all the time, instead of with hostility. This had been one of the nicest moments she had been, if you discount the punches…

'Yes, Touka… I did enjoy it.' She seemed to flinch a little at that, not expecting his response Kaneki guessed. 'But I enjoyed BEING with you, you treating me nicer than you have ever before!' Kaneki replied.

'I think you've been punished enough physically, both by me and others…' Touka said, blushing furiously. 'I think it's time for mental punishment, a test of your willpower.' And with that, she brought his lips from his ear and pressed her lips to his. Touka kissing HIM, willingly… Touka, the woman who had be quite hostile to him, and had punished him mercilessly… was KISSING him. After a few seconds, Kaneki having her lips pressed to his began to respond. He pressed his lips back with just as much willingness and passion as she was. Touka seemed to groan in surprise but moan in response. Moan in desire for HIM.

'So… there's much I didn't know or anticipate about Touka-chan…' Kaneki thought with a smile.

Touka suddenly ripped her lips from him, leaving Kaneki left feeling incomplete with her lips pressed to his. But she, then ripped his shirt in half, leaving his stomach and abdomen exposed, something Kaneki was surprised to see. Touka then rubbed her hand along his abs, moaning while she did so (his abs were quite improved with his becoming a ghoul and the requirements he needed to survive).

Kaneki smiled and laughed and Touka replied, 'What are you laughing about Kaneki?'

He looked her dead in the eye, still smiling, and said, 'I thought I was just coming home, but I think I've walked into the lion's den.'

Touka blushed and laughed.
