Now to fathom how end of s2 and s3 pans out before the release of RE Merging s1 and 2 concept has its pros and cons but don't expect much for a day to day life at the moment.

I never think to rate these...I have to smack myself a thousand fold for putting up chapter 10 with how I wrote how I'd envision AU Ken in Chapter 9. After seeing that the follow stayed put, up went chapter 10 and I went to focusing on giving Ken something he deserves even if he's broke and homeless.

Chapters 10-12 were published during February on Deviantart and once 12 was finished, I only managed uploading the 10th chapter on here beginning of March; start of episode 4 concept since chapter 3 was grouped with chapters 1 and 2, chapters 4-6 were oddly placed yet worked out more or less as its own episodic entity, leaving chapters 7-9 as the third episodic concept that would've worked better as episode 2. Depends on how you guys perceive this but my mind went into episode format mode grouping 3 chapters each.

I am still figuring it out as I go, posting on Deviantart app to edit on desktop version thanks to eclipse mode through Wix. Not sure what to claim this as overall. So it will be switched to T for the time being given the chapters 10 into 12? more so 13-24 as of end of May into start of June that I am transferring from said alternate writing site.

Was aiming for Hidexwhite haired Ken only but now that black haired Ken is in the mix, thinking of trying out black hair KenxTouka.

CCG headquarters...

Amon had taken the four qinx into his office to inform them on their current duty they will have to fulfill.

"We aren't here to become fake friends Mr. Amon." says Mutsuki.

"We should be his real friends. Can't say much for Urie though." says Ginshi.

"What's the point if we get dragged along to benefit their fun?" wonders Saiko.

"If I could do this myself, I would but the ghoul would be suspicious so seeing new faces will give him more chances to open up." says Amon.

"We have never set foot outside this building and now of all times you shove this onto us with the delusion that we are to cooperate with the new family. Only Juuzou and Hide know where he lives." says Urie.

"You can't be cooped up here forever." says Amon staring at Saiko.

"Don't stare at me. Its creepy." grumbles Saiko.

"This is your first task so don't blow it." says Amon.

"You heard the man mister unamused for life." says Ginshi looking at Urie.

"Will we be acting like humans or ghouls?" wonders Urie looking emotionless.

"Treat the ghoul like a quinx if you prefer that. I don't care how you make the ghoul feel as long as we get more information on the teen." says Amon.

"Kill or be killed will have to wait then. You can never tell what goes on with Juuzou entertaining himself." says Urie leaving the room.

"You can't just leave in the middle of him giving orders!" says Ginshi chasing after Urie.

"Don't blame us if we start to enjoy the teen's company." says Mutsuki.

"Getting on the ghoul's good side won't be problematic as long as Urie controls his anger. Let's get those two before Urie gets into a fight with Ginshi." says Saiko leaving the room.

Mutsuki stared at the door with Saiko inches away from the door on the other side before turning back to Amon and nodding wearily. Mutsuki bowed her head in an apologetic way and took off after her only friends.

Outside Kaneki's place...

The family and friends were standing outside the house nodding to each other at the plan. Ken moving out was bound to happen since he was technically old enough to be on his own like he has been used too. Juuzou was ecstatic at the idea of Ken and Hide faking their 'friendship turned love' but it didnt last long with realization that his favorite parents were living alone with cycle 1 Ken seemingly moving into Hide's place hitting him hard.

"Once I become a crazy chef, there's no turning back so I'd prefer to take things slow in that department. If he is that desperate to hug my kagune or whatever, he would have to eat everything I put in front of him. It would ultimately endanger myself and him in the long run yet in this house as long as everyone knows each other, anything goes." says cycle 1 Ken half teasingly.

"Let's start small like me eating two slices of cake when we head to Anteiku again." says Hide itching his cheek chuckling.

"Pretty sure Touka claimed restraining order against us." says cycle 1 Ken frowning at Hide.

"Did she? I was to busy being amused by her screeching about the photos." says Hide looking at the sky smirking.

"Human food can't go to waste and this will damage more than just our friendship the more I get entertained." says cycle 1 Ken forming a frown before snickering.

"We can still toy with how the CCG see us and Hide's the perfect prey to start with." says Yuno happily.

"Keeping a clear mind is gonna be hell." groans cycle 1 Ken bowing his head in frustration.

"Faking it or not, still creepy to do." says Yuki shuddering.

"Better now than never." says Yuno.

"Like they say, no matter how fucked up it seems, anything goes when ghouls prowl for prey. Or any yandere that's in this city." says cycle 1 Ken glaring at Yuno.

"I have to question Yuno and Ken's logic stand points but it is to make it seem real. I would have to leave the headquarters if things become to much for us." says Hide pondering.

"He makes it sound like Hide should pretend to be his slave." says Juuzou cackling.

"Things only seem to be funny for you and maybe Yuno but mostly you Juuzou." huffs Hide.

"I'm the only other friend you got. You barely hang around the quinx and you're supposed to be the people person." says Juuzou smugly shrugging.

"Shouldn't you get your clothes?" wonders Yuno tilting her head.

"Those clothes aren't technically mine." says cycle 1 Ken waving it off.

"What about your batman attire?" wonders Yuki.

Cycle 1 Ken cringed at the thought of wearing that again.

"You have one attire you know is yours." says Yuno.

"Wearing it once was enough." says cycle 1 Ken reverting his eyes.

Juuzou was about to say something when cycle 1 Ken interrupted him.

"DC hero fattening Manga hero leaves a cringe filled weird vibe in a roleplay sense." says cycle 1 Ken grabbing Hide's arm.

"This Robin says 'Don't knock it till you attempted it." grumbles Juuzou.

"You're the sweet fanatic not Hide." growls cycle 1 Ken.

"Crazies don't care about factors as long as they laugh about the amusements the things they do lead toward. Right Yuno?" says Juuzou.

"Can't deny what the crazy mindset desires at the randomized of timings." says Yuno.

"Just give me the damn costume so we can hightail it away from you guys. We can still be a crazy family but this crazy teen does things on his own terms." says cycle 1 Ken hmphing.

"Once you start, there's no stopping till you snap back to your senses." says Yuno.

"Hide's place sounds homey but Juuzou would lead the subordinates to us and that can't be an option. An abandoned house seems creepier yet would help keep us out of sight. I only know my way around alleys and the woods so we will have to agree on something since Juuzou and Yuno keep bugging me to act like I'm torturing my only true friend." says cycle 1 Ken displeased.

"You don't have proof." says Juuzou.

"With you popping up out of nowhere, I need to be on my guard at all times." says cycle 1 Ken.

"Private matters for a private couple sounds enticing." says Yuno.

"I only run up to Hide if I spot him where I spy on people." says Juuzou annoyed.

"I'll get your costume." sighs Yuki heading into the house.

"Batman keeps silent and never fattens anyone that I am aware of. We are going to royally fuck this up as quickly as we get started. Nibbling Hide here and there doesn't sound so bad though. I needed a sane mind not a crazed urges one. I blame Yuno and Juuzou more than myself but I'd be the guilty one overall. I'm not to thrilled about this logic." groans cycle 1 Ken to no one in particular.

Within minutes, cycle 1 Ken carried Hide away piggyback style since he was holding the bags with the costumes; one bag each to tell them apart. Finding a hideout that felt like a home away from their homes was gonna be tricky.

"No leisurely walk? Wouldn't the humans think it peculiar for a ghoul to carry a human?" wonders Hide.

"I have other worries on the mind that I need to get over fast." says Ken.

"I could pretend the Batman attire is my battle suit. Putting the attire over my battle suit will help a lot. Did Yuki give that attire to me too? I never needed it for anything. A hideout would be appropriate for the usual ghoul but since its me with him, what would Hide say to checking out my *shudders in disgust* battle suit from my cycle? I wouldn't mind covering it with my Batman attire...more so my shirt than having to wear a pair of pants over what supposedly looks like pants under a top without a back. Ill have to tear off the sleeves though." thinks Ken.

"Kaneki?" wonders Hide.

"I'd have to switch into the only other attire I have. The attire I am as grateful to have as I do detesting who made it. We will stare at the stars on random roofs while you eat in peace then sleep at your place." says Ken.

"God, that sounds boring when saying it. Even worse envisioning myself carrying Hide with the help of my kagune." thinks Ken huffing.
