TOKYO TENTACLE 12
Rabbit Love Arc - EP2
Kaneki was sitting in a bench, his fingers intertwined and trembling, his legs were shaking and his foot tapping restlessly on the ground. Anxious to meet with his old friend that he haven't seen for so long.
"Kaneki you moron!"
"Hi-"
Kaneki was surprised to receive a fist that lands on his cheek. He staggered backwards but the person who punched him helped him back up, now hugging him tightly.
"Do you have any idea how worried I was?! You only decided to call today?!"
Hide pulled away from the hug and ruffled Kaneki's hair. Kaneki massaged his cheek but was still smiling. Thanks to his A-cells, he also gained the ability to heal. So the pain won't be long. "I'm sorry."
"Where have you been?! You literally dropped out of school!"
"I- I've been working at CCG and-"
"Whoa wait timeout man! WORKING at where?! You went MIA," he playfully hits Kaneki by his arm, "on me for months just to work at CCG?!"
Kaneki blocks the light punches. "It's a long story."
"Well I'm here until you finish your story, speak to me man! I had to leave the girl that I really liked for this so don't waste my time and start talking!"
"Wait, you were talking to Touka? She's that girl who doesn't talk but stare right?" Kaneki said, remembering the face of his classmate that he last saw months ago. Hide's brows furrowed and hits Kaneki again.
"Yes that's her but she's not like that. She's actually really cute when you get to know her more." Hide bragged.
Kaneki wasn't impressed because every time he looks at that girl, she'd stare him to death. But if his friend said so... "Then why'd you leave her then? Why are you such an idiot?!" Kaneki played along, also hitting his friend.
"I honestly cannot weigh the importance of my friend that I haven't seen in months, not knowing if he's alive or not, against the girl of my dreams. That's a pretty heavy dilemma and trust me, it pains me to leave her but I need to know how you are." Hide replied with a smile.
"Alright, I promise to return you to her after we talk." Kaneki says and the two sat down the bench.
Taking in the view, feeling the cold air... they were silent for a moment.
"Hide..."
"Yeah?"
"I.. I'm no longer the Kaneki you once knew. I had an accident and when I woke up, I was turned into a half-tentacle. CCG helped me control my urge for now and I volunteered to work for them. I didn't know what to do, I was scared that I had no home to return to because I-"
Kaneki didn't finish his speech when Hide began to laugh. Making Kaneki wonder what was so funny.
"You haven't changed a bit Kaneki." Hide says as he attempted to suppress his laughter.
"What?"
"So maybe you grew a tentacle or two but you're still the same idiot I know." he continued. Hide's smile never left him. And Kaneki could never understand how he can be so jolly even at times like this. "You're still my best friend."
"Hide, do you really...?"
"And besides, the only reason you might not have a home left to go to is because you've been evicted." Hide joked. "Pay your rent you idiot!"
Kaneki couldn't help but join Hide in this little joke. It was true. He was renting an apartment and haven't paid his rent for months since he was missing. This is why Hide was the best friend he ever had.
[Anteiku - 20th Ward]
It was a quiet hour whenever it reaches 4pm. Everyone in Anteiku can rest a bit. There are only very few customers around.
Touka was still bothered at how her conversation with Hide ended up in. She enjoyed the conversation and he's been an amazing company but why did he have to leave like he was about to lose someone very important to him?
She sighed while wiping one of the tables.
"Touka-neechan, are you okay?"
"Uh Hinami, yeah I'm fine. What's up?"
"M- My A-cells are acting up again... I don't know why but I think the adrenaline of working earlier got me." Hinami said shyly. "I couldn't tell the manager because he might tell... to.. you know..."
Touka got the message clearly and smiled. Hinami didn't want to have the manager tell Yomo to pleasure her again.
'I haven't experienced doing any /it/ with females.'
In her time at Anteiku, whenever she was in need, she'd go to the 'karaoke', where tentacles will wear masks and meet a random tentacle in need as well. Hinami didn't have a mask yet and there will be a lot of procrdures that needs to be done before Hinami can go.
Troubled by the complicated requirements if Hinami were to do it that way, Touka gulped and decided to be a big sister and solve Hinami's prpblems. Hopefully she won't regret it.
"Alright, let's get busy."
"Does the youngsters need any help?" Koma said as he approached them, his smug grin still present, his hands on his chin. "The Devil Ape is here to-"
"We're good Koma-san, thank you. Can you take over for a while? We'll be back!" Touka said and grabbed Hinami's arm, leading her upstairs to her room. Leaving Koma heaving a sigh of frustration.
He walked back to the counter where Irimi was brewing some coffee.
"The kids doesn't like me very much." he says. "Is it because I'm single?"
"No I don't think that has anything to do with it. Young girls are just really secretive."
"Hmm maybe. Speaking of being single, I was wondering. We've known each other for a long time now. Did you ever... like.. consider me as a mate?" Koma asked, curious to know what his friend thinks.
"No you're a good friend, Koma."
"Well I'd like to confess something."
Irimi stopped what she was doing and looked for Yomo in the area. He was outside the shop wiping the glass. It took her this long to figure out what was wrong earlier. Koma must've said something like this to Yomo that made him jealous. Quiet Yomo was actually the jealous type. When she's solved the problem, she knew she had to put an end to it.
"Me too." she says and turned to Koma. "In fact, let me go first."
"O- Of course, what is it?" Koma gulped, excited to hear what she had to say.
"You owe me a hundred bucks for the broken pot last year," but the first sentence felt like a bomb just exploded right in front of him, "and you did not respond to my call when I was asking for a favor to exchange shifts,hmm did I miss anything out? You also borrowed my mask and returned it broken... oh and not to mention, you're still a good friend even after all that. Because you still have the courage to face me like this." when she finished, Koma gulped. "Whew, it was good to let that out. You were saying?"
"I- I'd like to confess that... I'd pay my debts another time. Hehe. Bye!"
Koma excused himself and pretended to be busy as he went away. Irimi sighed and smiled to where Yomo was working. 'Problem solved Renji, no need to be jealous over anything.'
Koma and Irimi then saw the manager talking to Yomo about something. They can easily guess it must be for another hunt.
Meanwhile...
"Aaaaagh!"
"Sshhh Hinami!"
"I'm sorry nee-chan... it's just that.. you're really good." Hinami said while moaning. Her legs were spread apart, and Touka was licking in her clit to tease her. Both of their eyes were red. Whenever they were in heat it was hard to hide their red eyes.
Touka has two tentacles and Hinami had four.
One of Touka's tentacles caressed Hinami's face before slowly crawling to her mouth and Hinami began to suck on the tip of Touka's tentacle. "No Hinami, I did that so you won't scream. Don't... mmhmm.. aah.."
Touka's second tentacle wrapped around Hinami's waist, gently entering under Hinami's clothes to caress her small breasts. Hinami moaned once more and sucked on Touka's tentacle. Her own tentacles was keeping her arms bound from touching anything.
"Almost there Hinami." Touka said and licked again. She can see Hinami's opening was moving and that she was dripping small drops of liquid. Touka licked again to drink it, making Hinami shiver.
Moving her second tentacle down on Hinami's private part, Touka sat up and unbuttoned Hinami's clothes.
"We're doing this once and never speak about this again. Okay?" Touka's tentacle in Hinami's mouth was pulled away.
"Y- Yes."
Touka's tentacle crawled closer to Hinami's clit and teasing her opening. Hinami moaned again. The teasing went on forever but it felt good. The young tentacle liked it.
[Academy - 7th Ward]
"Huh? A winner in every sparring match?"
"Yeah. They said he's a champion. Unbeatable."
"He can take on five guys at once."
"Whoa that's a monster!"
The rumors was spreading but he didn't care. He will always casually walk in the hallways and enter the classroom like he was a loner and a loser. The rumors was talking about him but it didn't matter. He didn't care if he was number one.
He just casually read a book in his seat, waiting for the instructor to come.
"Furuta."
When he heard his name being called, he closed the book and turned to the person behind him. "Yes?"
"You're being summoned to CCG Headquarters." the instructor tells him.
"CCG Headquarters? But that's in the 20th Ward." Furuta said, scratching his head.
"You're being transferred. They need an extra helping hand, and you happen to be the top here. You and everyone within the top 5 of 7th Ward's Academy will deploy you to HQ."
"I'd be honored."
"Then pack up. You're about to become a real investigator."
"Yes sir."
[On the way to Anteiku - 20th Ward]
"So this is a shortcut, huh?" Hide said while following Kaneki lead him through.
"Yep. I learned it from CCG's route book." Kaneki tried to brag.
"They make you read stuff like that?" Hide teased. "So it's like attending school too."
"Only because I am a third class investigator."
The two were taking a shortcut back to Anteiku so Hide can reunite with Touka again. But as soon as they stepped into a certain territory, Kaneki was surprised to find himself flying midair, propelling to the walls behind him. His back lands on the wall making a crack.
"Kaneki!"
Hide ran to his aid. Again, thanks to Kaneki's healing abilities, he'll be fine.
"Hey, Kaneki are you okay?"
Kaneki held on his stomach, it pained him to touch it. It must've bruised that badly. "I think so. Hide step bac-" Kaneki quickly pulled Hide behind him as a tentacle stretched towards them for another punch. Kaneki used himself as shield to protect Hide from the force.
"Kaneki!"
Out of the shadows, a guy with orange hair wearing glasses revealed himself. He has three tentacles around him and it seems that it can stretch far. He had red eyes as well and he was growling angrily at them. "This is my territory, humans."
"W- We're sorry we didn't know that. We were just passing by." Hide tried to converse as he helped Kaneki up.
"DIE!"
Without warning, three of his tentacles were in a rush to smash towards Hide. Kaneki was able to stop two of them but one tentacle made it passed him and smacks Hide in the head, knocking him unconscious.
"HIDE!"
The three-tentacled opponent of theirs didn't care less who was hurt, he attacked again and began to beat Kaneki over and over. His tentacles felt like fists as it made contact with Kaneki. Kaneki was lying down on the floor, covering himself from the relentless punches.
But as he was getting beaten, he turned to his unconscious friend.
'I want to protect you... but... I'm weak...'
Kaneki focused on ordering his tentacle to come out. Slowly, it grew out from his back and protected him from the punches. The guy began to laugh.
"What do you plan on doing to me with your one weak tentacle?!" he mocked.
'I want to protect. Protect. Protect. What's important to me! I'm not like Suzuya who can use multi-daggers at once, I'm not like Akira who can put on a brave face when I'm sad... I'm just Kaneki.'
The guy walked towards Kaneki and began to stomp on him. "You like this you weakling?! HUH?!" Getting tired of beating Kaneki to nothing. He turned to Hide. "Maybe I can hurt you more if I hurt him, right?"
"NO! Leave him alone!" Kaneki crawled to embrace the orange-haired tentacle's ankle. "Please don't hurt my friend!"
"Get off me you filth!"
Hitting Kaneki again with his hardened tentacles, Kaneki still did not let go. The guy raised his free foot and kicked Kaneki's face over and over until his nose bled, one eye was closed and his face was bruised.
'Please give me strength...'
When the guy kicked him for the last time, Kaneki's grip on his ankle weakened until he let go. The male tentacle stomped on his head angrily. "How dare you touch me you filth! Trash! Trash! Tra-"
CRASH!
The male tentacle finds himself lying down the ground after getting hit by something hard. He coughed and forced himself up to see what he was up against. He sees that Kaneki's eye was red and the other was also red but it was brighter. His expression had changed and he was smirking now.
But what frightened the male tentacle was the fact that the former one-tentacled weakling he was kicking earlier now had eight tentacles.
"W- What are you-?"
"You don't call my Kaneki a piece of trash, you trash!" he shouted before dashing towards the male tentacle with incredible speed. Eight of his tentacles' tips grew sharp and hard and each of them landed directly on the male tentacle, impaling him. "Tell me who's trash now!"
Blood splattered all over Kaneki's face as he continued to stab and jab on the male tentacle's body.
Hide on the other hand slowly opened his eyes. His sight was very blurry, his hearing was hazy but he can see Kaneki's figure. "Kaneki?"
When there was no struggle from the male tentacle, Kaneki stopped and the gruesome smile on his face was wider. "DIE!"
"KANEKI!"
Kaneki did not send the final blow as his body froze. The male tentacle took the opportunity to escape before it was too late for him. Hide did not know what was going on but he needed to make sure his friend was alright.
"Kaneki I'm okay!" he called out while forcing himself to stand.
"H..ide..." Kaneki muttered weakly, his voice sounded afraid, the confidence earlier was gone. He turned to Hide and ran towards him to help him up. "Hide."
"Kaneki what..." Hide saw the blood stain all over Kaneki. "...what have you done?"
