"Rise and shine, love birds."

Not exactly a pleasant wake-up call. ESPECIALLY when said by Nishiki. I'm never going to live that down…

Touka was fuming in her room. Shitty Nishiki… Shitty Kaneki… The thought of the white-haired man sent blood to her face, given the fact that they were more or less 'cuddling' on the Anteiku seats the night before. Heck, when she woke, she had her hands around Kaneki, leaning into him, while he was asleep, while NISHIKI was WATCHING. WITH AN EVIL GRIN. Not exactly what you would call a good start to a day.

Despite that, she was satisfied, happy even. Kaneki is back. That idiot took WAY too long. Despite her annoyed look, she was smiling. It was a good sign. Kaneki was the sun that parted her stormy clouds, ending in a great rainbow. Leaning out her window, she breathed in fresh air. It was sunny out. Her shift starts at noon. She has 4 hours to relax. That's plenty of time to catch up on some school work…


That was a pretty shit way to start a day. Waking up to Touka's fist colliding with his face. He may be able to heal, but that still stung. What stung more was the fact that NISHIKI was the first to see them. He had no idea what they looked like when they were sleeping, but if Nishiki found it hilarious, it would probably be embarrassing beyond belief. He decided that ignorance is bliss, and excused himself before Nishiki could say a word.

Reaching home, he dumped his body onto the bed and whipped out his phone. Missed calls from Banjou. He called.

"Hey dude, where have you been man? Did you go take a break or something?" Banjou answered immediately.

"Long story." Kaneki answered, monotonous.

"If you say so man. Have you heard? Some Dove met an SS-rated ghoul yesterday. And he claims that the ghoul let him off! It was you, wasn't it?" Banjou queried.

"So what if it's me?"

"Guess what? The CCG are on the search for you." Well shit. Kaneki cursed. If the damn dove described him well enough, they would know it was the infamous 'Eyepatch'. And that would be trouble. Now they knew he was situated in the 20th ward. If didn't see his face, HE would be fine, but Touka did not have a mask on, and that spelt trouble for her.

"Hey Kaneki," Banjou's voice snapped him from his thoughts. "We kind of require you at the 11th ward right now. We have a ghoul over causing big trouble. One of our guys was injured badly, and it wasn't even him who engaged first! C'mon dude, we need your help."

"Alright, I'll be over by noon, k?"

"Roger captain. See ya." He hung up. Back into the saving the world again huh? He got ready a bag, preparing to take the train to the 11th ward…


It was 4 pm. Anteiku café was slowly thinning out, as the customers slowly exited one by one. Touka was more or less alone in the café. The other staff went to run errands, leaving her to take care of the shop. She breathed a sigh of relief. The day almost over, and she could not wait to take a damn nap. The bell rang. "

Hello! Welcome to Anteik—" Touka's words got stuck in her throat. Doves. What are they doing here?

"Ahh, the sweet scent of coffee! Isn't this the best café in town? Can't wait to try it out!" The dove walked in. She froze. Is it, THAT dove?

"Yeah, you bet." A deeper voice appeared behind the first dove. Dove Amon? "A treat to help you get over that 'traumatic experience' yesterday. You should take it easy first."

"Hey, I'm fine! I said nothing about trauma!"

"Well you sure sounded traumatized…" Stay calm. Put on the poker face you practiced.

"Ah yes, Hello Miss! Table for two please!" Amon requested. Touka jumped a bit. "Sure. Over here." She got them seated. "May I take your order?"

"Yeah sure! I'll have a…"

The coffee was ready. She brought them to the two doves. "Gosh darn, you are right! This is good!" The unnamed dove exclaimed.

"Told you." Amon replied. "Say, why do I think that I've seen that waitress before?" Touka almost tripped. SHIT.

"Hey, Miss, have I met you before?" The dove asked.

"U-umm, no?" Her poker face was there, but she was sweating. A ton.

"Hmmm… Ok then." He replied suspiciously.

"Ah, excuse my friend here, he is relatively impolite."

"Hey!"

"Anyways, thanks for the coffee. We will get going now. Here's the cash, keep the change." Amon handed her a note.

"T-thank you." She stuttered. Grabbing the money a little bit too hard, she went to the register and deposited the cash. "Have a good day!" She waved goodbye. Phew. Too close…


"Heh, that coffee sure was good…" Wait… The dove's eyes widened. "I remembered now! She was the one I attacked yesterday. S-she's a ghoul?"

"Don't spout such nonsense Seidou."

"I swear!" The dove, now known as Seidou, replied. Amon grew serious.

"If that's the case, then it would be a serious problem…"


It was 8. Kaneki was back home, the 20th ward house. The troublemaker had been taken care off. He wouldn't cooperate, so he had no other choice… His own fault. Kaneki shrugged. He usually tried not to kill, unless it was necessary. That guy had it coming for himself. At this point in time, his biggest worry would probably be the CCG.

Ah crap. Was I supposed to give Hinami lessons or something? I may be late…

Speaking of lessons, he wondered how school was. Hide's probably having fun as always. After a shower, he made his way out and towards Anteiku. Hinami better be ready…


In CCG HQ

"Are you extremely sure?"

"Yes Marude. According to Seidou Takizawa, the girl from Anteiku was definitely a ghoul."

"Hmm… proceed with investigations surrounding Anteiku and its ghouls. Find whatever you can. If they are a secret ghoul organization, we cannot let this pass."

"Yes sir." Amon exited the room. Anteiku heh? Marude thought. Might be a jackpot.
