YOOOOO Sorry for the late update! Here is the new chapter! Enjoy it ^-^

Chapter 10

Kaneki passed out the coffee cups with a smile on his face.

"Enjoy your coffee, Sir." He bowed backing away. He sighed, still feeling anxious when talking to random people. He looked at the corner where Tsukiyama normally sat seeing it empty. It was strange not seeing him everyday. He hadn't been in the cafe for about a week since he had to leave.

Kaneki sighed again, but put on smile as he heard the door ring signalling there was a customer here.

"Good afternoon si-"

Kaneki paused looking surprised The same detective before entered looking at him with blank expression.

"Table for one." He muttered, continuing to stare at Kaneki. Kaneki nodded numbly looking for a place to seat him. The only place available was Tsukiyama's chair he left empty on purpose.

"Umm I-I we don-"

"There's a seat over here sir just follow me." Touka said coming from behind Kaneki causing him to jump. She gave him a weird look showing the man to where Tsukiyama sat.

Kaneki tried hard to not say anything to stop them, but that would be rude. Amon seemed to had noticed the dilemma and sighed with defeat.

"You know what? I believe I would prefer a seat at the bar thank you." Amon said showing himself the way.

Kaneki was slightly confused at the change of location, but he wasn't complaining. Touka motioned for Kaneki to follow her. He nodded walking into the back room with her.

"What is wrong with you? You work with a pout with on your face like a sad little puppy. Did something happen? Did something happen between you and that jerk?" Touka asked. She was hoping that they had broken up.

"He…. He hasn't been here for almost a week. I tried to contact him, but he never answers. I'm worried that something had happened." Kaneki whispered.

Touka wanted some much to blurt out what he might be doing. Being a killer that he is. Can she risk that with the threat Tsukiyama has made?

"Listen Kaneki… with Tsukiyama...he-"

The bell rung, signalling that a customer came in.

"We can talk later, sorry Touka?"

Kaneki quickly left the back. He then smiled brightly to see who had came in. He then glanced at the detective that was looking at him with calculated eyes. He gulped and Touka came back looking at him.

"I got this guy. Go talk to your lover." She said with a frown. Kaneki nodded, and gave a small smile to Tsukiyama.

"Good afternoon, Tsukiyama." Kaneki said in a formal tone, not knowing how to react when the detective was watching.

"Hello to you too, Kaneki. Just my usual for today, please." said Shuu.

Kaneki was confused. Why was he acting like a stranger? Then it had hit him that the detective was watching the purple haired man like a hawk.

Shuu took his usual seat, noticing the officer a few feet away from him. He had his eyes on him until Kaneki came to his table.

"I will take a cup of coffee, black please?" Tsukiyama said looking at the detective as well. They were having a staring match basically. Kaneki looked between them worried. He nodded and hurried back to get the order. Touka had already served the detective Kaneki saw. He made the coffee quickly wanting to hurry back, but he was stopped by him.

"You said he comes here often right?" He asked now staring at Kaneki questionly.

Kaneki nodded slowly, "Yes he is a regular."

Amon nodded slowly. He sat his cup down setting down the money and tip and got up.

"Thank you for the coffee. I will be back soon." Amon said nodding to Kaneki. Kaneki stared at him until he left through the door. He hurried back to Tsukiyama who was looking at him with a slight angry expression.

"What did he want?" Tsukiyama demanded stopping Kaneki in his tracks.

"H-He asked if you c-came often. I said you were a regular, then he left." Kaneki stuttered. Tsukiyama seemed to stare at him for eternity until he spoke.

"I don't want you to talk to him anymore. Do you hear me?" Tsukiyama snapped making Kaneki flinch.

"B-But he was a c-customer. I-"

"Did you not hear what I said? I don't want you talking to him. Do you understand?" Tsukiyama whispered harshly.

Kaneki gulped, tears forming in his eyes. He had never seen him so angry before… it was scary.

"I..I-I-"

"Kaneki I will serve him. Go manage the front." Touka said, glaring at Tsukiyama. Kaneki whispered a yes before walking fast to the bar. He sniffled holding his tears back. It was scary being in a situation like that, he didn't want that to ever happen again.

He looked over to see Touka and Tsukiyama arguing with each other until Tsukiyama slammed his hands down on the table causing everyone to look at him. He met Kaneki's stare, making him shrink back at the anger he radiated.

He put down the money, giving Touka one last glare. He made his way to the front stopping in front of Kaneki making him freeze.

"We will talk about this later. I apologize for scaring you." He said before leaving the cafe.

"That son of a-" Touka began, but was cut off by the manager now walking their way.

"Touka. Kaneki. Come to my office. Nishki, please manage the floor for a bit while we're gone." Nishki groaned at the thought of doing more work.

The three of them walked to the second floor of the cafe into his office, closing the door after them.

"Explain what had just happened." Yoshimaru said sternly. He was not one to get angry, but that scene downstairs had him curious, and a bit angry that his two best employees caused a commotion.

"W-well-" Kaneki began, but got cut off by Touka.

"A regular customer was rude to Kaneki, and I defended him. It was my fault." Touka said calmly, trying to hold in her anger.

"Is this really the truth?" The manager asked, knowing it wasn't the complete truth.

She sighed knowing he won't stop asking until she tells the truth. "There was this detective that asked Kaneki if Tsukiyama came here often, and he said yes. But then Tsukiyama got all angry with Kaneki, and was really angry with him. He made him start to cry and I told him to manage the front while I spoke with him, but he was nothing but rude and angry at me for intervening." She explained.

Yoshimaru thought for a moment.

"A detective was questioning Tsukiyama? Is our loyal customer someone we should be careful around?" He asked.

"No he isn-"

"Yes." Touka cut Kaneki off again, to his dismay.

"Why so?" He continued to ask.

Touka thought for a moment. She didn't want to risk everything so soon.

"I just heard so really bad rumors concerning him. I don't want him bother Kaneki like he did." Touka stated. Kaneki sighed, and looked at his manager.

"Sir please, Tsukiyama didn't mean any harm. He was upset that the detective was bothering me. He is my boyfriend, and he doesn't act like that at all… I've never seen him angry before." He whispered. The manager looked at him and sighed.

"I will give him one more chance. If he makes a commotion like that again he will not be allowed back here. Do you both understand?" He asked looking at both of them.

Kaneki nodded nervously while Touka looked dismayed.

He needs to talk to Tsukiyama very soon.
