How to Christmas with ghouls? Mind switched to possible Centipede sightings

'They're leaving us behind.' says Urie begrudgingly.

'Good thing is we can head back to HQ now that the eeriness stopped. Bad thing is the enemy is slipping out of our sight.' says Mutsuki hearing the door close.

"Two half ghouls who the woman sees as sons with the man following along. Reporting to headquarters with a monster of a mother like that got turned down." says Urie.

"Anteiku raid...is it worth it?" wonders Mutsuki.

"HQ has their reasons despite the truth spit out." says Urie.

"With the information we were forced to hear, we should check in with headquarters to tell about it." says Mutsuki, "Dunno how to simplify that though."

"We can leave as we please so lets get Amon's thoughts over with." says Urie.

"If we see everyone scrambling around what then? They're notorious for the most part but they don't want their kids to die like any other parent." mumbles Mutsuki.

"We wasted to much time here. We're late on telling what we learned regardless of HQ getting ready to take them on." says Urie growling.

Urie and Mutsuki fled the house now that everyone left the premises. What was awaiting them, was thanks to Ginshi and Saiko talking to the wrong workers; Yukiteru tried to appease them worker by worker and failed horribly given the reactions and sudden spur to ready themselves.

Anteiku...

In the time the Kaneki twins left to bring back black haired Kaneki's clothes, Hinami happily grabbed at leftover cakes to feed Hide as an appetizer feast while Touka was upstairs talking over the party with the rest of the staff and manager. When Touka came downstairs, her eyes were focused on the empty spaces on the display case before spotting the plates on the table Hide was sitting at. Did whitey talk Hinami into this or the idiotic chubby bunny? She mentally shook her head knowing those two wouldn't suggest such a thing; Hide would though with Hinami happily agreeing.

Touka sighed dramatically before looking at the teen and young adult angrily.

"WHAT THE HELL HINAMI!?" wonders Touka staring at Hide and Hinami.

"I'm giving Hide treats on the house. Its not fair that white hair brother gets to feed human brother." says Hinami giddily.

"IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT, FEED HIM THE LEFTOVERS! NO SCRATCH THAT! Hide needs to know that we don't give food for free to whiny gloomy moochers!" says Touka.

"I'm not a moocher." says Hide.

"You will be now that your ghoul mate is going to start working here." says Touka gritting her teeth.

"We haven't officially-"

"NO OTHER OPTIONS RABBIT!" yells Touka.

"I can't hide all day while he works." says Hide.

"How's he supposed to pay for the food Hinami is letting you eat?!" wonders Touka.

"No free room and board?" wonders Hide.

"THAT'S FOR WORKERS ONLY!" yells Touka.

"You're afraid Hinami will be a cute feeder." says Hide smugly.

"HINAMI ISN'T A FORCE FEEDER YOU SHITTY RABBIT!" yells Touka.

"I can't say no to a cute teen that willingly feeds me fork fills of cakes." says Hide.

"Your stomach is fine. No more feeding him." says Touka.

"Awww, you're no fun Touka." say Hinami and Hide.

'Humans aren't trash bags for foods about to go stale Hinami.'

"We can just make more for the customers." pouts Hinami.

'We can't have him to big for Christmas sweater shopping.'

'I expected to see a big squishy belly on Hide.'

'Hey, he's already 100lbs heavier. He's not ready for buffets or feeding tubes.'

"A prince having a helper sounds sinister but not if the teen enjoys it when it should be dragon prince." says Hide slyly to a reddening awkward albino.

'This dragon prince is doing everything he can to not make it look like chaining you to a bed to never be seen outdoors again.' grumbles cycle 1 Ken walking up to the table.

"Touka would do that not you. She prefers me locked away until your shift is over." says Hide frowning at Touka.

"What shift? We one sidedly agreed to partying here to keep food in your yacking mouth." growls Touka.

"Does white hair brother shove food in your mouth to shut you up?" wonders Hinami.

"It does appear that way right tentacle boy?" says Hide.

"Shut it." says cycle 1 Ken.

"Which of us will be to sensitive to go all out? Sucking on my flesh is barely done with you worrying about the rumors and eyes staring at the monster that is you." says Hide.

"Hubbies to be and self conscious thoughts still attack." says Yuki shrugging.

"Go yandere and let those senses take over you jitter bug." says Yuno.

"Jitter...bug?" wonders cycle 1 Ken eye twitching.

"Is this everyone?" wonders Touka displeased.

"Minus the rest of the staff yes." says cycle 2 Ken.

"Super." huffs Touka.

Touka dragged Hinami away from the table grumbling over how working hours should go and if Hide ought to appear bedridden.

"Touka!" says Hinami.

"Don't let your foodoholic rabbit poison the staffs' minds." growls Touka tossing Hinami her coat.

"Scrooge and grinches. Nice." chuckles Yuno.

"WE'RE LEAVING NOW!" yells Touka slamming the door.

"Oof." says Hide standing up.

"Ms Scrooge and the Grinch twins." says Yuki looking at the Kaneki duo.

"Centipede would be thrilled to hear that." says cycle 1 Ken sarcastically.

"You're starving right? Living amongst humans again? Let Centipede see Hide too." says Yuno.

"That's better said than done. There's no telling what that side will do." says cycle 1 Ken hesitantly.

"Show your double what ghoulish evil looks like." says Yuno.

"No...to risky." says cycle 1 Ken shaking his head.

"Your husband deserves a taste of the dark side." says Yuno smirking.

"You said no killing around christmas." says cycle 1 Ken.

"And showing your kakuja shouldn't hinder anyone to much. You need to prove your yandere kakuja is sane too, mister insecure." smiles Yuno touching cycle 1 Ken's chin.

"You're in control of killing timings not Centipede." says Yuki.

"A crazed bug in a store is a bit estranged when others are shopping." says cycle 1 Ken sweat dropping.

"You need to look the part for the doves in question. It'll give Murmur something to watch if he hasn't gotten bored of staring at the orb." says Yuno nodding.

"Even if you cuffed Hide and me together, he will dig into him once we try on clothes." says cycle 1 Ken.

"There's no way to be sure than to change at this moment." says Yuno.

"You're insane!" says cycle 1 Ken.

"Insanity is my best friend. It should be yours too." says Yuno proudly.

"I dunno..." says cycle 1 Ken wearily.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." says Yuno.

"Y-yeah..." says cycle 1 Ken.

"Crazed Centipede mindset needs to appear doesn't he? Murmur won't have to huff and puff watching Centipede attempt mingling the human way." says Yuno.

"You're asking for to much Yuno. I can't randomly-"

"You did it in cycle 1." says Yuno deviously.

"Oh my fucking...fine, whatever. Centipede can come out until the party is over. I'd prefer the bug mask around Halloween so walking around with it will be a put off." says cycle 1 Ken.

"It only covers your head and kagune right? As long as crazy doesn't bring out the kagune in public, he can take part in the party." says Yuno.

"He'd do it regardless. I'm not starved yet so don't expect much from crazy Centipede." says cycle 1 Ken.

"Is that short for something?" wonders cycle 2 Ken wearily.

"I only have two ghoul names; Eye patch through medical eye patch and leather mask. I've used the name until the kakuja overtook me. There is no full name for my armor that I am aware so everyone calls me Centipede now-as far as cycle 1 went. The mask helped with the one eyed ghoul shtick while the head piece-mask covers the eyes yet doesnt. I never heard of Centipede bird beaks but it fit my crazed hunger to a tee." says cycle 1 Ken.

"You're doing a swell job keeping your armor at bay. Centipede is the side I will always love unconditionally. So give it time to breathe Kenny. You can't let Yuki side have all the fun." says Yuno.
