Here's the first mini-chapter I decided to write, to showcase Haise and Roma just shooting the shit while talking about Shirazu. Let me know what you think, and what else you'd like to see in the future lol.

Anyways, thank you and please enjoy this short chapter!


Underneath the winter night sky, the dark waters of Tokyo Bay seemed to dance as the glimmering moonlight's gentle light cascaded down on the waves below. Standing side-by-side with Roma, the chilly sea breeze caressed Haise's cheeks as he leaned his arms on top of the metal railing separating them from the edge of the observation dock, located on the very top floor of the mega yacht that was lit up like a Christmas tree.

Showered, fed, and clothed, Haise felt refreshed as he took in a deep breath of the salty Pacific air through his nostrils. Staring outward with a sense of clarity in his head, Haise watched the rippling seas moving with the direction of the air. In that very moment, Haise felt a kind of cathartic peace that was brought on by having to accept his loses, while he reminisced about the years he had spent with Shirazu as his squad's deputy.

"... One time, back when I was an investigator, I had us all disguise ourselves as women," Haise said aloud with a sense of nostalgia, while Roma casually took a puff of her joint as she tuned into the one-eyed ghoul's ramblings. "There's more to that statement, don't worry; it was for a covert operation, and not just because I thought I looked stellar in a dress, haha, ha…"

"... Go on~," Roma said with a wide smile on her face, while enjoying the smoked cannabis that filled her lungs.

Snickering to himself at just how ridiculous the idea had been in the first place, Haise grinned back sheepishly at the leader of the Clowns before continuing on with his story. "Anyways… Yeah, so basically we cross-dressed in order to get that one ghoul, what's her name…? Erm… 'Nutcracker'? Yeah, her alias was 'Nutcracker', I think…?"

Letting out a throaty hum, Roma nodded her head to show that she knew who Haise was talking about, before passing the lit joint over to him. "Yeah, yeah, yeah; I know who you're talking about…! Her name was, umm… Mayu? She's the one that would bring us vulnerable women to auction off during our 'events'... What, did she end up literally busting your balls or something~!?" Roma asked with a morbid look of curiosity in her eyes.

Recoling with a mixed expression of disgust and amusement, Haise flashed Roma a grimacing grin on his face before shaking his head. "Heck no, techno; having my unmentionables crushed would devastate me forever…!" Haise retorted, before cringing at the idea of what it would have been like to have Mayu stomp down on his genitals. "No, no, no… Although, funny enough that you mentioned it, Shirazu was the one who ended up almost getting his 'family jewels' stomped on by her. I remember him telling me that on the car-ride home, after CCG's reinforcements came in to relieve us."

Having been on the business-end of CCG's 'Auction Mopping-Operation', Roma rolled her eyes and watched Haise taking a few tokes as she was reminded of that very day. "Ah yes… I remember that day being one of my worst ones; I'm sure glad one of us has fond memories of it. Unless you were purposefully trying to rub that in my face, 'little boy'…?"

Unintentionally making a funny face after having accidentally inhaled too much, Haise began to violently cough and hack his lungs out, all while trying to defend himself from Roma's accusation. "N-No…! I-I wasn't trying to- Hold on...!" Haise wheezed out, before leaning over the railing to spit out a wad of saliva, while Roma giggled at the sight of seeing the one-eyed ghoul's struggling to handle what he referred to as 'the Devils' lettuce'.

"Alright, alright, arlight; that's enough for you tonight! I'll be cutting you off now, sweetie~!" Roma said in a sing-songy voice, before reaching over to take away what remained of the joint from Haise's hand.

Putting out the lit-end of the joint on the railing, Roma reached back into her bra to pull out the ziplock bag. After sealing the joint into the plastic bag, Roma stuck it back into her cleavage before beginning to pat Haise on the back to help him catch his breath.

After spending a few minutes of his time gagging and spitting off of the side of the yacht, Haise was finally able to catch his breath enough to recompose himself. "Oh wow…! Was I supposed to smoke that much of it…?!" Haise asked with a slightly worried look in his eyes, as he rested his chest against the top of the railing while staring down at the flowing waves, four-stories below him.

"Considering it's your first time smoking weed, I probably should have mentioned to you that the recommended puffs you were supposed to take should be around one or two," Roma mused nonchalantly, while taking pleasure in seeing the wide-eyed look on Haise's face after hearing her bringing that tidbit of advice up. "It's gonna hit you hard in about fifteen minutes; that'll be fun to see! But you know what? I say 'let's celebrate like today's our last night to be alive'! Plus, haha… You're pretty entertaining to watch, Sasaki; it's probably what I like most about you."

Still appearing to be shocked, Haise eventually began to erupt into a quiet fit of laughter after a few moments of suddenly remembering what he had wanted to tell Roma. Due to the heavy amounts of THC in his system, the one-eyed ghoul's silent laughters eventually escalated into Haise becoming red in the face while howling with amusement. Laughing out loud into the night sky, Haise slid down from against the railing until he was sitting down on the wooden deck.

Finding Haise's hysterics to be infectious, Roma soon found herself snickering uncontrollably, and before she knew it, she was sitting by his side with her back up against the metal railing. "The hell are you laughing at?! I didn't even say anything remotely close to being funny!" Roma asked in a bewildered and entertained voice.

"N-No! It's- It's nothing you said…!" Haise stuttered out while still trying to catch his breath, before letting out a delighted exhale out of his sore lungs. "It's just, like-?! Apparently people get off on what Nutcracker does, and like, when Shirazu found that out, he showed me!"

Biting down on her lower lip at the mental image developing in her head, Roma giggled before asking Haise, "What~? Did he show you some 'cock-and-ball' torture porn, or something~?! Did you like it, or something...?"

"Pfffft, hell no; I'd never want to get myself involved in that sort of stuff!" Haise retorted, while finding the idea preposterous. "No, no, no… So what did happen was that Shirazu actually ended up printing about twenty pages of 'CBT' pornography, and placed them underneath Mutsuki's laptop during one of my routine room-inspections I used to conduct…! I mean, Mutsuki was embarrassed and pissed off after I confronted her about it, rightfully so, but like…! Once I found out it was a prank, I was laughing my ass off~!" Haise explained, before once again finding himself giggling out loud, while Roma chuckled at how cute he looked.

"Oh my God, that actually does sound awesome," Roma mused with a pleased glimmer in her eye, while quietly shaking her head at him. "Hold up... Why are we talking about cock-and-ball torture again? Are you trying to imply something, or…?"

Chuckling at the way Roma sounded, Haise shook his head again before replying to her question. "No! I was just, like, look… The point I was trying to make was that Shirazu was a great kid; truly a man's kind of man… But like, he was a mischievous little shit sometimes; pardon my language, but hey... He always knew how to make me laugh, that was for sure…" Haise explained with a wavering smile, as he thought back to how simple things used to be for him, back when he and the quinx-squad lived at the Chateau. "... I miss him."

Resting the back of her head up against a metal rail, Roma smile turned into a frown after she began to take notice of the tears developing in the corners of Haise's eyes. "Hey now! No tears, okay, little boy?! If Shirazu was with you right now, do you think he'd want to see you crying like a little baby; especially after he sacrificed himself to save your ass?"

"... P-Probably not," Haise replied back with a quiet chuckle, after momentarily imagining what Shirazu would have said if he saw him needlessly wallowing in his own pity party. Smirking to himself, Haise let out a loud breath as he raised a hand up to wipe away his tears.

Recomposing himself, the one-eyed ghoul nodded a few times before sighing. "Eeyup… Is it me, or is it super cold outside…!?" Haise asked while raising both his hands up to his mouth to warm them up in his breath, all while silently hoping that they would change subjects.

"... No shit, Sherlock; we're out in the ocean at the ass-end of winter… Of course it's cold," Roma muttered sarcastically back in response to Haise's less-than astute observation. Seeing Haise flashing her a smirk while silently thinking to himself about how much his life had changed, Roma found herself staring at his facial features.

Blushing at the thought of her remembering how he looked when he was naked, Roma thought to herself for a moment before finally building up the courage to make her move on him. "... Hey Sasaki~?" Roma asked in a low and sultry voice, as she turned her body around so that she was sitting down while staring face-to-face with the one-eyed ghoul.

"... Hmm?" Haise asked with a bit of confusion in his voice, after being caught off guard by Roma's sudden change of attitude. Looking down at the blushing woman who was slowly leaning her lips closer-and-closer to him, Haise found himself growing stiff and gasping, after feeling her warm breath against his neck.

"... Wanna head back to my bedroom," Roma whispered in a soft and seductive voice, as she leaned ever so closer to Haise, until her lips were practically pressed against his earlobe. "... And check out my vinyl collection~?" Roma asked in a friendly voice, before pulling herself away from Haise to smile brightly at him.

For Roma being an extremely powerful and very feared individual, Haise couldn't help but find her eagerness in wanting to spend time with me doing trivial activities to be endearing. Seeing how he had nothing better to do, other than just soberly reminisce about the past memories he made with Shirazu, and even Urie, Haise decided to accept the offer with a wide grin on his face. Of course, now without making a pun.

"I'd love to! Just so long as there's not too much SAX and VIOLINS~!" Haise said with a dumb smiile on his face, as he watched Roma's eyes bulge after hearing his terrible pun. "... Get it? It's like 'sex and violence', but instruments instead."

Moments after hearing Haise's cringey sense of humor, Roma was soon busting a gut, as she laughed hysterically at just how bad his pun was. "Jesus Christ…! No wonder fuckin' Yoshimura wanted you all to herself; you're a fun guy to bne around, Sasaki~!"

"Thank you, it took me two weeks to think of that pun," Haise said in a serious tone, while sporting a deadpan expression that caught even someone like Roma off guard. "It's my most prized pun."

"Wait… Really?" Roma asked with a baffled look on her face, before Haise leaned in close to her ear to seductively whisper out his response.

"Pfft…! No!"


I'll summarize what I've read from the reviews, but just know that I love and appreciate what you guys wrote, and usually re-read them while writing new chapters.

The general census I'm getting from the reviews is that Haise and Roma should eventually have sex later on, once they get to know each other better. After Eto and Haise smash, of course.

And as of right now, their future sex scene will be Roma wanting to have Haise play into her mommy kink. Let me know what you guys think of that, lol.

As for Haise seeing Hinami naked, it was just what he imagined her to look like. I think I'll write that lemon pretty soon about Hinami fantasizing about Kaneki, and having a scenario play out where she's picturing herself walking into him showering and then getting touched by him. Let me know what you guys think about too, lol.

I'll tell you what, I think I'll end up having Shirazu come back in a similar way as Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 4. He'll have his body reconstructed to be a cutting-edge piece of technology by CCG, who will rely on him to battle GOAT. Because as far as CCG knows, Shirazu almost died while fighting for them. That way, he can be reunited with his little sister.

Haise getting pussy everyday sounds fun, I might be able to do it, so long as it doesn't break the flow of the story.

Also spoilers: Karren will be coming back. And next chapter will be Yusa, Arima, and Hinami at the Mt. Fuji manor. It'll be about Arima passing down his plans to Yusa, while showcasing Hinami having developed a bond between her and Yusa, as well as Arima.

While she was forced to join GOAT as a way to have her be a future bargaining chip, I think Yusa (aka the Persona 5 protagonist) would probably feel sorry for her, and look up to her like a big sister. Arima would see her like a daughter, especially since she has a connection with Kaneki/Haise.

Haise being with Ihei is a win, but considering she's Ihei (the merciless reaper) it'll be tricky.

Eventually, Haise will gain all of Kaneki's memories. As of right now, Haise remembers about 80% of his memories of being Kaneki.

Urie is most definitely going to die before Arima. Arima probably already peaked, but he'll probably be around for at least five or so years. Urie, on the other hand, will probably die in a few months or so, if nothing else happens to him before then.

Matsumae joining Team Haise would be fun, but I honestly think she'd be a better fit for like, Tsukiyama. Let me know what you guys think of that, lol.

Roma isn't necessarily trying to develop a relationship with Haise like Eto and Touka are trying to do, but rather she's just seeing what happens. Roma would honestly probably be bisexual, or even pan.

And I, like many fanfiction writers, would love to see their fics become doujinshi! Although, to be honest, mine might be a bit too long for that lol. So far, I got two major arcs down, and at least two or three more to go. But don't worry, there will be plenty of filler. I hope to at least get to one-million words by the time this fanfiction is complete.

Anyways, jout down any ideas for filler ideas you'd like to be played out, or just about anything really. Thank you, and have a great night!
