A/N: Hey guys! Another update, YAY! I wanted to ask y'all something: Do you think it's better to update faster with shorter chapters, or do you think it's better to update slower, but with longer chapters? Let me know in the Reviews or just PM me.

Kaneki poked Emily in the side, hoping to wake her up. She just laid there, breathing slowly in and out. He couldn't help but smile at the sight, even though he knew he shouldn't since the person that was taking care of him basically fainted from fright, but he thought that was beside the point. Lifting his hand, he gently stroked her hair, waiting patiently for her to wake up. Something about this act caused nostalgia to run through him, an image at the back of his mind slowly coming forth. Taking it as a sign, he focused as much as he could, whatever it was becoming more and more clear. He almost had it until the door creaked open. Snapping him out of his mental focus, he looked towards the door. In the doorway stood a pink haired, short woman with a purple cape and skirt, and a white blouse.

"Is he awake yet Ms. Emi-" she cut herself off, staring at Kaneki with eyes the size of dinner plates. He was sitting up, something that was supposed to be physically impossible with how injured he was and the amount of time he had to heal, and one of his eyes had completely grown back, something in and of itself should never have down, she saw the nurse, Emily, still passed out on the side of the bed with his hand in her hair. Louise thought he had attacked the poor nurse, but after getting a closer look, saw that her body was rising slowly. She loosened a bit, but was still on edge. She had heard of minor body parts being regenerated with water magic, but to completely heal a completely missing organ was basically improbable in the fields of magic.

"H-how…?" She whispered, her only response being a head tilt from Kaneki, "how is your eye completely healed!? It's basically impossible for someone to regain something completely destroyed, even with the help of water magic!" She basically screamed. Kaneki only looked even more confused.

'So my eyes were completely gone? That explains the weird depth perception, but I thought that only part of the bandages were off...' Kaneki put his finger to his chin, losing himself in thought, all while a certain mage kept fuming off about the impossibilities of regrowing an eye. This went on for more than a few seconds, until Louise just stopped everything and let out a sigh of frustration.

"Look, I don't know how you got your eye back, but one thing's for certain, we need to cover up that gaping hole in your other eye, otherwise you're going to cause me and the students here some problems."

Louise grabbed the roll of gauze out of the nurses hand and began to unroll it, lacing one end on the top of Kaneki's head. He shifted slightly, feeling very uncomfortable at Louise's presence. With one last tug, she admired her handiwork and stood back up at her full height, which wasn't much considering she was barely above eye level with him.

"Now let's hurry up and get you out of bed. If you're well enough to sit up and look around, then you're well enough to serve me." She stated, Kaneki mentally questioning her meaning of 'serve'. She grabbed Kaneki by the wrist and pulling him towards the door. He resisted, Louise turning her head towards him in annoyance.

"I need to put her in the bed. She'll only wake up with a sore neck if she slept like that." Kaneki stated, pointing over to the sleeping form of the nurse. Her breathing becoming more noticeable and her body twitching every now and then. Louise only puffed once and walked out the open door. Kaneki moved quickly towards Emily, picking her up and gently placing her on the bed. He made sure everything was in order before turning around and walking towards the door. At least, that was the plan until he caught a glimpse of something dark on one of the desks. It looked like a pair of clothes, but he felt they were much more than that.

Kaneki picked up a piece of it, holding it out to its full length. The cloth was tinted completely black with open areas to allow greater movement. Strangely, he felt that it belonged to him. 'Might as well test my luck' He thought as he took off the loose pieces of clothing.

The clothes fit him perfectly. Each scrap perfectly aligned with his body and the amount of comfort it brought him was heavenly. 'Yup, this is definitely mine.' Kaneki gathered his old clothing, and placed them neatly in a pile before walking out and greeting the impatient Louise.

"What took you so long!?" She yelled, stopping herself as she took a good look at what he was wearing. "I see you found your clothes…" She said, looking very uncomfortable. She definitely didn't need to be reminded of what happened at the summoning ritual, and the closer she got to forgetting about it, the better. Kaneki only shook his head in response, waiting for his master to take the lead. Louise turned on her heel, walking through the corridors.

Kaneki couldn't believe his eyes. The lush green and the vibrant blues stood out so much, that it hurt his eye. It was simply dazzling to him that such colors could become reality. He looked around, filling his mind with as much information as it could before he lost the opportunity. Many of the students dressed in cloaks similar to Louise were out and about, either talking to each other or spoiling their familiars. For Louise, the sight was anything but pleasant, but she needed to keep up appearances. After all, that is what a noble does.

Kaneki matched her speed, but kept himself a short distance away as to not invade her personal space. Some of the students turned their heads towards him, but the majority were either too wrapped up in their familiars, or in each other. Hushed whispers reached his ears, but he didn't care at all. He just wanted to find a way to get his memories back, and that ticket lied solely in the hands of Louise.

Louise found an empty table, stopping right next to a chair. She just stood there, staring at Kaneki while tapping her finger. "Well?" She questioned, annoyance slipping into her words.

"Well what?" Kaneki asked as he raised an eyebrow. If she expected him to pull out her chair, then she was sorely mistaken. Louise just kept tapping her finger, their internal battle rising. Eventually, Louise sighed for the umpteenth time and pulled her chair out. She mumbled something that sounded like 'A noble shouldn't have to do this if there is a servant around', to which Kaneki just rolled his eyes and left to go look around.

He really was amazed at how big the school was. It was like one of those castles he heard about that were supposed to be in England. He didn't even get to relish in details before something both hard and soft bumped into him with an 'ah!' He could tell right away who it was, if the 'ah' was any indication. Looking down, he saw Siesta on the ground, no doubt because of him, and was trying to regain her bearings.

"Need a hand?" He asked, reaching out said appendage in an attempt to help her onto her feet.

"Oh Kaneki! Glad to see you up and walking, but isn't it far too early for you to be up and walking about?" She asked, worry evident on her face. He smiled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head.

"Well, yes, but trust me when I say I feel fine."

"But you still have bandages on!" She pouted, causing Kaneki to blush a bit at how she looked. He quickly regained his composure, taking note of the slight sweat glistening on her brow.

"I see you've been working very hard lately, huh?" he asked, a sly smile playing across his lips. Siesta, picking up what he meant, blushed. She held a metal tray, hiding behind it.

"You really shouldn't comment on a girl's appearance while she's working, it's very embarrassing…" Kaneki only chuckled a bit at the act, causing Siesta to pout even more.

"Seeing as how you're working right now, I'll leave you alone. It was great actually being able to see what you looked like." He said as he made his way back to Louise. He had no doubt that she was most likely throwing a fit.

"Alright then, Kaneki. Have a great day."

He found Louise not to far from where he was, sipping tea and rubbing its side. He felt a bit guilty at this, so he decided to make it up to her later.

"I'm back." He said, pulling out one of the chairs. Louise looked up, eyebrows furrowing as she prepared her little speech. Before she could even get a word out, someone from across the field was yelling at one of the maids, his towering form encompassing her. Upon closer inspection, Louise recognized the man. It was Guiche de Gramont, a player who always toyed with many of the girls here even though he was already engaged. Deciding to ignore it, she turned back towards her familiar, only to notice that he was no longer staring at her, but Guiche.

Kaneki stood up and walked towards the scene. Louise, noticing this, attempted to grab his attention.

"Oy! What do you think you're doing? There's nothing you can do, so don't go over there." She stated, but that wasn't enough to grab his attention. Instead of outright screaming at him, she pulled onto one of the sleeves on his shirt. Clearly, that was a very poor choice of action. Kaneki looked down at her with what could only be said as a murderous stare. Louise stood stock still, no longer attempting to grab his attention, only watching as he went towards Guiche and the black haired maid.

[Scene]

"How dare you speak such lies and try to sully the name of Gramont!" Guiche screamed while pointing his rose at Siesta. She couldn't believe what was happening. One minute she was giving back the perfume Mr. Gramont threw away, then the next he was outright screaming at her. Calling her a liar and that she would be imprisoned for life. She could feel the fear welling up inside her as she just laid there, taking the abusive words of the noble. Her tears were beginning to pour down her cheeks, greatly wishing for anything to stop him, even if it meant disappearing.

"I swear on my family name that I will have you han-' Guiche was cut off as a sliver of white appeared in his line of sight.

"Siesta, are you hurt?" Kaneki asked as he lifted the maid onto her feet, her tears stopping instantly as she looked up to see her friend.

"K-Kaneki..?" She asked, hardly believing it was really him. The man in question looked at her with a gentle smile as he led her away, but didn't get more than two feet before Guiche started up again.

"Are you that actor that Louise paid off during the summoning? You must definitely have no manners or pride to show your face around the likes of me. Especially since you're getting in the way of me putting that commoner in her place." He stated with gusto, waving his rose around while placing a hand on his head. Kaneki paid him no mind as he continued to walk away. Guiche, noticing his failed attempt to gain his attention, placed a hand on Kaneki's shoulder.

"Remove your hand if you don't want to lose it." Kaneki said in a voice that sent a chill down Guiche's spine. His instincts were telling him to do as he said, but his pride was overriding him.

"You dare threaten the great Guiche?" He said, smiling, "Fine, then I challenge you to a duel!" He practically yelled out the last sentence. The group that had formed when Guiche was having his little show all gasped in unison. Duels were forbidden within school grounds, and yet here he was, challenging a commoner to a duel. Guiche's smile never left his face, for he expected the commoner to shake in his boots and beg for forgiveness.

"Okay." Kaneki said, catching Guiche off-guard. This had turned into the worse possible outcome for him, but he knew that if he showed any hesitation, his honor as a mage would be completely tarnished.

"Then I will meet you at Vestri Court!" He yelled before leaving the area.

A/N: And that's the end of Chapter four! Yay! Alright, so I know you guys are excited for the fight between Guiche and Kaneki, and just a little head's up: I'm going to try and put in as much detail as I can in the fight, however, don't expect something very grandiose since I've never really written a fight scene. Any feedback or tips would be very helpful, so please PM me or write a review :D
