I do not own Tokyo Ghoul
Kaneki's eyes opened. He smiled. He was back. Back to Anteiku. Now he could see Minato. Minato and Touka. His heart warmed at the mention of Touka.
"Kaneki are you awake?" It was Minato.
"Yeah. Coming." Kaneki sighed. He got up and dressed then got out. Minato had started to get up earlier than Kaneki.
"Oi. Minato. Were out of meat. Go hunting today. Don't get caught." Kaneki ordered.
"What?" Minato never went to hunt without Kaneki. "Can't you come with me? I might get caught."
Kaneki watched Minato amused. "Your old enough to hunt by yourself. If you want, I guess I can watch from a distance."
"Okay!" Minato cheered. He was scared to hunt without Kaneki.
"I'm going to work now. You can go out if you want. Or you can stay and read." Kaneki announced. "Oh and Minato. Pretty soon, you will be able to go to a school!"
"REALLY?!" Minato couldn't believe it.
"Yep." Kaneki left. He went downstairs and started working. The door opened.
"Welcome!" Kaneki yelled.
"Ah. The smell of coffee in the air, it is truly something to behold!" Tsukiyama took in a huge breath.
"What do you want, you monster?" Kaneki's eyes narrowed.
"Ah. Kaneki. Can't we just be friends?"
"No. You tried to kill me last time. Aren't you supposed to be dead, anyways?"
"I ate myself." Tsukiyama replied casually.
"What do you want?" Kaneki repeated.
"It's simple. I want you dead. I want to eat you. I want to harm everyone that is close to you." Tsukiyama smiled evilly. "I have gotten stronger since last time. Watch out, Kaneki. Until next time." Tsukiyama walked out.
"Kaneki. Who was that?" Kanek jumped. He had forgotten about Touka.
"My enemy. If he tries to do anything to you, tell me. Watch out." Kaneki resumed working, like nothing happened.
Later, Kaneki crashed onto his bed. He couldn't sleep. Couldn't rest. He had to watch for Tsukiyama. He was dangerous. Slowly, tiredness made him close his eyes and sleep.
Kaneki woke up. Minato didn't wake up before him. Strange.
He dressed and mentally made a note to go hunting for Minato. He had forgotten yesterday, and Minato told him he hadn't gone. As Kaneki closed the door to his apartment, he noticed a small piece of paper stuck to the door.
Kaneki. I have decided to take Minato. He's where you died. Come, or he will die.
-Tsukiyama
Damn him!
I warned you.
Shut up old man.
Kaneki went inside and quickly wrote a message telling anyone that he had gone to save Minato. He stuck that onto his door and left.
Kaneki arrived at the warehouse. At the same time, Touka had saw the note and alerted the manager. Yoshiruma decided to help Kaneki.
"Tsukiyama! I'm here. Now let go of Minato!" Kaneki strolled in when he saw the open door.
Light's turned on. The door closed. In the middle of the room was Minato. He was held by Tsukiyama. His body was filled with cuts and bruises.
"About time you came, Kaneki. I really want to eat you, but I also want other to enjoy your meat! Look around." Kaneki did just that. Surrounding them were ghouls with there masks on.
"Just give me Minato." Kaneki snarled.
"I want you to be full when we eat you. You are going to eat Minato." Tsukiyama stabbed Minato right in the eyes, then moved down to the chest. He killed Minato swiftly, cutting of his head.
"Minato!" Kaneki shook with rage and fury. Just then, the door opened.
"Kaneki!" It was Anteiku's team. They saw Kaneki and Minato's head. And Tsukiyama by Minato's body. They pieced the three together and formed a complete puzzle. They moved on to kill the ghouls surrounding them.
"I'm going to kill you." Kaneki lunged toward Tsukiyama. He dodged it easily. Kaneki didn't care about Tsukiyama. He picked up Minato's body and head then ran out of the door, leaving Anteiku's team. He headed to the woods where Kurosaki and Daiki were buried. It was time for one more to join them. Kaneki gently put Minato on the ground and started digging with one of the shovels that he always left lying around.
Kaneki quickly finished and set Minato into the grave.
"You will always be my little brother. No matter what, you will always be alive with me in spirit." Kaneki tried not to cry. He lifted a shovel of dirt. "Good bye, Minato."
Kaneki buried Minato and carved his name into a stone. MINATO. On a smaller stone, he put: LITTLE BROTHER.
Kaneki walked back to Anteiku, where everyone was waiting in the break room.
"He's dead, isn't he?" Touka was the first to speak.
Kaneki nodded sadly. "What happened to Tsukiyama?"
"We killed every ghoul but him. He fled." Yoshiruma said.
Kaneki gave a sigh. "That's good. Then I can kill him myself."
Kaneki walked out of the room and retreated into his apartment, where he cried into his bed.
The next day, Kaneki woke up and worked like usual. Touka could tell something was off, though. All emotion had been sapped from him. His eyes that used to be kind and happy, were now dull, lifeless. He worked without a question and followed orders. This happened for many weeks. During those weeks, Tsukiyama didn't appear once.
Touka decided to try and do something. She had heard that Tatsuki Sen was doing a signing at a bookstore nearby. Kaneki like Tatsuki Sen. He like reading.
"Hey. Kaneki. I'm going to a Tatsuki Sen signing." Touka said.
"Have fun." Kaneki replied without looking up from his work.
"Bakaneki. You're coming with me." Touka punched his stomach. It was hard.
Kaneki looked up. "Fine. Let me get a book." Touka smiled. Maybe there was hope after all.
Kaneki was ready in a few minutes and they left for the bookstore. The walk there was awkward. None of them said anything. They got in the line.
"Oh? You don't have a book with you."
"Idiot. This was for you." Kaneki just looked at her. It was soon there turn and Kaneki gave Tatsuki Sen his book. The Black Goat's Egg.
"Can you write, For Minato? Thanks." Kaneki said. They walked out of the bookstore together. "You go back. I'm gonna visit Minato."
He walked to the woods. Touka followed him, making sure he couldn't see her.
Kaneki stopped in front of the graves and Touka dived behind a bush.
"Hey Minato. I got your favorite book signed by Tatsuki Sen. Sensei told me it's really boring up there, so I'm going to leave it here so you can read it up there." Kaneki crumpled to the ground, where his tears stained the dirt.
"Why did you guys have to leave me behind?... I'm so lonely... I just wanna join you guys..." Touka couldn't take it any longer.
"Kaneki. I'm still here." Touka burst out of her hiding place.
"Touka. I already knew you were there. Why did you follow me?" Touka walked forward until she was in front of Kaneki. She bent down and wrapped her arms around him.
"When you died, you said you loved me. If that was true, then stay alive. I... I can't live if you die." Touka buried her face into his chest. Kaneki lifted her face. They locked eyes. Kaneki pressed his lips onto Touka's. The kiss was slow and gentle. They broke away for air. Kaneki looked at her sadly.
"I just want to die... Even if you're here. They... they left me behind... I became lonely... I thought it was bad when Kurosaki and Daiki died. I didn't think it be this bad if one more left..." Kaneki sighed and buried his face into the crook of Touka's neck. Touka's nails dug into Kaneki's back.
"Stay alive for me. Please. Don't try to kill yourself." The two cuddled together and enjoyed it. Meanwhile, Tsukiyama watched from a distance smiling. In his mind, he was forming a plan.
Please tell me if there are any mistakes.
