Hey, Everybody, Bropower125 here and welcome to Ukaku Chapter 2, I'm sorry for the kinda late update but I was getting a co-author and so I kinda wanted to wait a little bit, anyways as a shout-out to him, his username is Nightwalker935 so go check him out! Mind you he doesn't have any fics on this site but I once collaborated with him before on a fic that I'm too embarrassed about since I mucked it up since I was still kinda new to writing back then and plus I was like only 14 when I wrote it... Also I'm training him by forcing him to read Tokyo Ghoul so he might not know everything as we go along but that will slowly be fixed. Also the TouKen will come later. Also sorry for the chapter being so short and late, Life was being a douche...
I, Bropower125, do not own Tokyo Ghoul, Sui Ishida owns it
Kaneki and Mr Yoshimura picked up Touka's limp unconscious body and took her up to one of the back rooms in the ghoul cafe. Once in the back room they laid Touka's body on a messy-looking bed and waited for her to wake up.
-VvX125XvV-
A couple hours later Touka woke to see Kaneki sitting on an antique wooden chair next to her. That's when she noticed she wasn't on the ground but on a bed. The bed had white satiny sheets and a nice warm white comforter, that's when Kaneki finally noticed that Touka had woken up.
"So, you're finally up?" said Kaneki with an innocent smile on his face. Touka looked straight at Kaneki with a look of embarrassment and said,
"You didn't have to do that." with a look of discontent on her face. Kaneki now had a look of puzzlement on his face.
"Didn't have to do what?" asks Kaneki obliviously.
"You didn't have to help me..." Touka says slowly trailing off.
"I wouldn't have felt right just leaving you on the floor" Kaneki says matter-of-factly. Touka got up and started beating the shit out of Kaneki for helping her since she needed to maintain her tough girl attitude. Touka then walked out of the room and had a slight smirk on her face yet she felt somewhat guilty for what she had done to Kaneki and she had no clue why. Fifteen minutes later Kaneki walked out of the room with a black eye, a broken arm, two broken ribs and a fractured leg bone. I might as well have been hit by a truck made out of quinque steel thought Kaneki. Soon enough the natural ghoul healing process began and Kaneki looked as good as normal, the only thing that would tip people off is a slight discoloration in his skin. Kaneki went downstairs and found Touka waiting patiently for him to come down. Seeing Kaneki poke his head out Touka went over to him and dragged him over to the door by his ear and said,
"Lock it!" with a demanding tone in her voice. Kaneki did as instructed and locked the door. He then asked her a random question out of the blue.
"What does cake taste like?" asked Kaneki with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
"Well...uhm...it tastes different for everyone" says Touka.
"Why?" asks Kaneki. Touka looks at him like he was stupid and punches him straight in the nose. She then begins to explain.
"Well, everyone's 'taste buds' are different and because of this something can taste like anything, the only difference is, is that people will tend to find that some things will taste the same as other things... ever heard the phrase 'tastes like chicken' ?" Kaneki was surprised at Touka making a reference to something he couldn't eat and then remembers that she was once human.

The next day Touka went back to school and pretended as if nothing had happened. She also didn't have to worry about having her kakugan showing since her hair covered it and it only showed when she was really hungry.
-VvX125XvV-
Touka watched the clock on the wall tick down closer and closer to the end of period five. As soon as the bell rang indicating that school was over Yoriko got up and walked over to Touka.
"Hey, Touka" Yoriko smiled and then continued on, "Why don't you come with me to pick up the notes you missed?" Yoriko smiled, she was very ditzy and had no clue what was going on with Touka... and Touka was glad that was the case, either way it helped with Touka's new human facade. The two then made their way over to one of their classmates. The girls name was Nakajima, Suki Nakajima to be precise. Touka upon seeing her immediately recognized her from the cafe. Touka was not used to seeing ghouls being around her all the time. Taking a more thorough look at the girl she saw orange eyes with a hint of hazel, next she noticed that the girl liked old fashioned Victorian clothing. She also looked deceptively innocent, a good trait among ghouls, and hard to find too. She was a bit shorter than Touka and was actually slightly muscular. She had blonde hair which looked so bright that one could mistake it for being dyed. Touka remembered overhearing the other ghoul talking to another ghoul about how she killed two CCG investigators, so because of this Touka decided to go along with Yoriko as soon as she heard Suki say that she had left her notes at home, in fact Touka was sure that Suki didn't even have a home, and if she did it was probably some rundown apartment building full of other ghouls.

As soon as Touka and Yoriko came upon a warehouse like building Suki led them in. It was full of ghouls. Touka was scared for her own life just seeing the sight of all those kakugan which caused her to shudder uncontrollably. Just as soon as Touka and Yoriko noticed the haven for ghouls did they notice the door to the warehouse had been slammed shut. God only knows what happened next.

Kaneki looked at the calendar; this was the 3rd day that Touka and her human friend had been marked Missing In Action (MIA). It had been disconcerting the moment Touka didn't show up to work. In fact that day was the day he was going to start training her which made him feel like he would have to go save her. Kaneki frowned and began to think, I wonder if a ghoul organization got to her, it would make sense as to her disappearance, in fact the four-no five organizations going around with their supposed one-eyed leaders probably wanted to take her out because she would be a threat to their supremacy. Kaneki sighed... it was going to be a long day, indeed.
Well there you go everyone, I know it's a shorter chapter than I promised but I have had a lot going on recently and didn't have a chance to write until now, plus obviously as I already mentioned, I got a co-author, and I'm sorta' training him. My Co-Author will show up in the next chapter, it actually probably seems like the Co-Author showed up in this chapter since I've never been this in-depth but the truth is that I completely did this chapter myself. Honestly I just read a lot of fanfiction in between this chapter and the last chapter which may or may not have had an effect on my writing skill (I got that as a writing tip once).
Heh, I think I outdid myself... See ya next chapter (.^_^.)
