The city of Tokyo was quiet. For once, there were no news reports of missing people, ghoul attacks, or any destructive events that could interrupt the evening. Instead, the city was full of lights and wonders that could garner the attention of many with its festive signs and symbols. Promoting the holiday joy of the season and the special day of Christmas. With most prepared for the upcoming event with presents and homes decorated, Kaneki hadn't bought one gift for his girlfriend.

"The one holiday that I chose to be late on, and it's the most important one to her. Life choices… I'm not good with them," Kaneki finishes the last phrase with a sigh.

There were very few shops that had closed so far, but time was not his friend. In just a few more hours everything would be closed, leaving him without a gift.

" I need a plan." Kankei eyed the closest building, a clothing shop that had, what he would consider 'unique' choices just from the window displays.

"What do you think of the store, Noro? Should we go inside?"

The man offered no response besides a slight head tilt.

Abnormally silent, the man never talked and didn't need to. He understood and followed without complaint. If only a few others could take an example from Noro. Kaneki shook his head and walked with the man, "don't know why I brought you along, but I'm glad that you came." No one would bother him with the man following him, he was definitely intimidating, and that was putting it lightly.

" Welcome to Meiji, how can I help you young men today?" The older woman asked, flashing a friendly smile that made Kaneki reflect one of his own.

" Does she not see the big guy beside me?" Setting aside his thoughts, Kankei focuses, "I am looking to get a gift for my girlfriend. Do you have any recommendations in particular?"

"Young love is always sweet. I'll have my granddaughter come and assist you, it is all she obsesses over."

The older lady straightens and yells, " Yukimura, a young man needs your help with finding a gift for his girlfriend."

In a blur, the girl was in front of him, he could have believed she was a ghoul at the speed she appeared.

"Hi! What kind of things does she like?"

"Is this a Christmas gift? You know it's the holidays."

"An anniversary gift? If so, that would be totally adorable."

"An, I'm sorry, gift? You better have not done that woman wrong."

"Perfume?"

"Makeup?"

" Fashionable outfits?"

" Bondage?"

"Uhh…" Kaneki's face turned red at the last question, " what do you suggest?"

" How about I take you around the store and we'll go from there?"

He agreed, there was not much else he could say to the eccentric girl. Looking back he saw that the shopkeeper and Noro had disappeared. " Please don't eat her."

" My aunt likes a man that can eat well, and so do I" Yukimaru responds to the out-loud statement, smirking as she takes the man to the first section.

The girl was flirting, but he had someone, not just someone, nor was he interested in her.

"This is our jewelry section. Do you like a particular stone or type of accessory that you think would be good?"

"I'm looking for something that she will always remember. Something important to signify our history."

"We have a large collection of stones, each with a story of its own." Revealing her necklace, an inscribed necklace with a small ruby. This was from my mother, it was the first time I had visited the mines with her and she found me this gemstone. Just like this gemstone, each one of ours has a story and I believe you just need one to start that story."

"Can I ask how you two met? And her name? That can help me curate from these stones one that you might like."

"Her name is met at a book signing from our favorite author. From there we had some encounters and experiences that led us to this point."

"That sounds romantic Mr…"

"Kaneki."

"Kaneki. How would you feel about a necklace with this stone?"

From her collection, Yukimaru revealed a pale translucent stone that reminded him of the moonlight.

"It's a moonstone. This stone represents healing, passion, and dreams," Kaneki had heard her say.

The vividness of the stone and its appearance were alluring. The physical manifestation of passion and dreams that they shared with one another, formed into a single gemstone.

Yukimaru placed the gemstone in his hand and he felt the hard, but soft, stone in his hand. Delicately handling it as if it was a newborn life. He had to have it. This was the item that would represent their new life together; the one they always dreamed about under the stars.

Kaneki could remember such a moment, smiling as he thought about that day.

What would you do without me? She kissed his head. I have something I want to tell you.

He looked up into her green eyes that held stories that would terrify and traumatize, but to him. It was at that moment that I fell in love with you.

You're going to be a father, Kaneki.

"You there, Kaneki?"

" Huh?"

" Since you blanked out, I take it that you like my selection?"

" I do like the gem. How much will it cost me?"

"The stone itself is quite rare for that variation and luminosity; with the necklace to adorn it, I would say around 200,000 yen would be a fair price."

Anything for her. If she didn't like the gift, she might just rip his arm off again. Shuddering at the thought of his arm having to face that again. " I'll buy the gem."

"Excellent decision. I'll ring you up and then we'll go to the back for the process."

"Okay."

With the transaction being done, Kaneki followed Yukimaru to the back room. It was filled with machines that he had little idea how they worked and boxes pushed together in a corner.

" I'm going to bind the jewel to the necklace and then it's all yours."

" Alright," Kaneki said, where did Noro go? Did he eat that woman? Fuck.

He looked more intensely at the room, analyzing it for oddities. There is no way that woman took down Noro. Unless…

" Here is your necklace sir," she handed him a case that protected the soft gemstone.

" Thank you. Do you have any idea where my friend went?" Pocketing the case into his pocket. "I can't seem to find him. And he's pretty noticeable, despite the quietness."

" No idea, but" she paused for a moment, " my offer still stands."

" What offer?"

" I'll gladly eat you up," Yukimaru comes close enough to press her large breast up against the man. Her hand moved downwards towards the now growing bulge.

" I have to decline. My girlfr—" his statement was cut short when the girl began sucking his dick.

She sucked his shaft up and down, teasing the man. Using different strokes of her hand to harden his erection. " No one has to know Kaneki, just enjoy fucking my mouth."

He could only groan in response. Warmth captured his cock as she deepthroated him. The time passed by he was lost in pleasure, this woman was different. She was amazing, but she was dead once Eto found out.

Just the thought of her savagely ripping the woman apart was turning him on more. Was it the ghoul side of him? He didn't know, but the thoughts grew darker and went with his actions.

Kaneki grabs the pink tufts of hair and shoves his cock down her throat. Watching the tears form as he violently and viciously fucks her mouth repeatedly.

" Fuck. I'm gonna cum down your throat, slut."

The crying-mumbled gasp was all he needed, a face of sadness and terror as he unleashed his load inside her throat. Her hands held onto his pants as she was forced to swallow the load without fail.

Yukimaru backs away coughing at his sudden change of attitude and action. " Why did you do that!?" Anger in her voice she wanted nothing more than to kill and devour the boy with her aunt. The scent he gave off was so tempting to attack him earlier on. But she was patient. Now she is pissed. Nobody called her a slut.

" I did what you wanted me to do," Kaneki retorted back, fixing his outfit to its original state.

The girl's eyes turned red and she launched herself at him.

CHOMP!

Her body disappears into the kagune-mouth of Noro. The woman was devoured and gone within seconds, and he simply stood there waiting.

"Thank you, Noro. I assume that the aunt tried to eat you as well?"

"…" Noro said nothing and checked his watch, then started his walk and grabbed Kankei.

Kaneki didn't bother to resist. He knew the ghoul was stronger than him and faster. At least I accomplished my goal. Thinking to himself.

The first signs of snowflakes began to drop, the cover of the night making their travels easier. It would soon be Christmas and he had his gift.


Noro had taken him to their current hideout, before freeing him of his grip.

Kaneki was just glad to be home. While the CCG was mostly on holiday, he did not want to stir any problems; especially with the shop incident taking place already.

"You made it home." Kaneki's ears' perked up, it was Eto. He smiled and ran as fast as he could to the woman, picking up her shirt frame as the green hair covered both him and her.

" I have missed you, Eto. And I even brought you a gift." Hugging the woman carefully, her stomach is showing signs of pregnancy.

" I missed you too, Kaneki-kun. You fed Noro as well, you're a good boy; aren't you?"

" I try to be," he kisses her ear, taking in the aroma of his lover.

" Why is there a woman's smell on you?" Eto whispers to his ear. " You've gotten tired of me already?"

"I and Noro had a minor incident at a shop, but it's all taken care of now." Kaneki kisses her head and sits them down in their bedroom.

" I just want you to know that I can never grow tired of you. Your sadistic manners have rubbed off on me, and I'm here to stay. After all, you're mine." Kaneki bites into her shoulder, tasting the blood of his girlfriend.

Eto smiled, he was clingy and possessive. I'm not letting him go anywhere. The stinging pain from her shoulder was nothing worth mentioning, but the feeling of emotional weight behind it was memorable.

" The next person or ghoul that touches you, their body will be shredded and discarded across the entire 13th ward. Do you understand me?" Snatching his head up from its current position, looking into the grey eyes of her lover.

" I understand."

Eto licked her lips. Dominance was in her blood and watching his eyes shrink back in terror made her happy. She owned him and dominated him, and she craved it.

" Good boy. Do you want to show me the gift now?" Releasing his head from her titanic grip, matching her smile with his to give him some relief.

Kaneki nodded, retrieving the case from his pocket. Opening it to reveal a beautiful necklace, but more importantly the gemstone that luminosity could be compared to the moon.

" For me?" Eto feigned ignorant, pale cheeks gaining a slight red hue.

"Just for you," placing the necklace around her neck.

"A reflection of you, our passion, and our devotion to one another."

Eto could only smile, "It is perfect. I love you Ken Kaneki."

I love you more, "Yoshimura Eto," embracing his girlfriend.

"Together forever." She places his hands on her enlarged stomach.

"Always, Eto."
