Hey. Sorry for the wait, lovelies, my brain does this thing where it things NOTHING IS ENTERTAINING AT ALL, and it makes it hard to write.
So, sorry!

Chapter 2
Kaneki shut the door quietly behind him; if Touka was sleeping, he sure as Hell didn't want to wake her.
Perhaps she'd sleep for the next year or two.
Or eight. Or twenty.
He was in the living room when a voice started up from the couch.
"I have to ask you something."
Touka's voice. Blank. Pushed-back anger. It hadn't taken long living with Touka to discover that she was a very anger-driven sort of person.
"What?" Asked Kaneki nervously, starting towards the kitchen in search of tea; his nerves were frayed, and his eyes hurt from the hosiptal's lights.
Touka sat up on the couch, looking half at the ground, and half at the kitchen doorway in which Kaneki stood.
"Did you put me on the list?" (This is actually a real thing, by the way.)
It was silent until Kaneki, head tilted curiously, spoke up. "The list, Touka-chan?"
"Yes. The list. The one where you put the people who shouldn't be informed about why you're at the hospital, you ignorant shithead!"
Silence again. "I didn't want to worry you." He said meekly.
"Worry me?!" Touka yelled. "You haven't been answering your cell, the hospital banned me, you little shit, I've been worried, Hide's been worried-"
"You met Hide?"
"DON'T INTERRUPT MY TIRADE, SHITHEAD KANEKI!"
Kaneki flinched back; this wasn't first time he'd seen her lose her temper, but this was certainly the first it's been directed at him. "Touka-chan . . . " he said weekly.
She was looking at the ground, shaking with rage. "I'm gonna be at Yoriko's for the next two days. I didn't call Hide yet. Tell him your back, he promised if he didn't get a notice he'd pee on the hydrangeas."
"Since when did we have hydrangeas?"
"Since Yoriko gave them to you because you were in the hospital!" She growled, and grabbed a bag from by her feet. "I'll be back in two days; I'll pay the light bill while I'm out. I'm hungry, anyways."
It took until she slammed the front door behind her that Kaneki conjured up his voice.
"There's food here. . . . "
I have a feeling chapters are gonna be really short until we get into the plot. So sorry again, lovelies.
