Hello again! READERS! YAS! I'm back! And so happy about last chapter! It made me feel tingly inside when writing it! It's good to know that people liked it. The feels in last chapter may be satisfied, but there is more to come later. Maybe even a lemon or two! Sadly, I will not be replying this time to any reviews, as I want to make this fast and quick. I really want to do this chapter.

Also, this chapter it proudly proof read and edited by SomeRandomGuyOntheNet. All editing credit goes to him. Other than that, everything is good! On with chapter 9!

Kaneki was wide awake in bed. He couldn't sleep. He wouldn't sleep. He felt he didn't need too. He turned over in his bed, and faced another body. He gently smiled at the rise and fall of her chest, telling him she was asleep. It had been two weeks since he rescued Touka, two weeks since she watched the video, two weeks since he could've killed Uta, but he knew better. Touka couldn't sleep at all. The video of the first day had been to terrifying, even for a ghoul. Kaneki watched her for a bit longer before he clutched his head. A sharp pain seeped into his head as he squirmed and fell off the bed with a 'thump'. It was getting worse, his hunger. The noise seemed to have woken up Touka, as she sat up with messy hair. Kaneki tried to tell her to get out of here, but nothing came out. The pain was enough to make him unable to do anything other than sit and cower. Touka finally looked over at where Kaneki SHOULD have been, and gasped when she saw him on the floor.

"K-Kaneki-kun?!" the purple haired ghoul gasped out. All the boy could do was groan. Until he gasped himself at what he heard.

You have food right in front of you, what will you do now?

He started to panic. He was going to turn into a kakuja. He was going to kill everyone in this building. He tried to get up, but the pain was too great. Suddenly, he couldn't see Touka anymore. She was now in front of him. The girl leaned down, the two only a breath apart, as Kaneki kept grunting in pain.

"G-et… a-wa-y…" Was all he managed to get out, but Touka just grinned a bit. And soon enough, she placed her lips on his. Suddenly, the pain disappeared. It vanished, and he felt like he could breathe again. When she was finished, she departed and looked at the white haired boy through the dark room.

"What was that, Kaneki-kun?" The girl asked, her voice shaking with worry. She had never seen one of his melt downs before, so she was worried sick. The purple haired girl was shaking in worry and fear,

Kaneki felt at first, a little bad. "I… have sharp… pains every now… and then…" Kaneki told her, his heavy breathing only allowing a short amount of speech. Kaneki suddenly felt dizzy, his vision started to fade. Touka must've noticed this, as when he began falling back, she quickly grabbed him. The last words that left her mouth before passing out were ones of worry.

Hinami was crying again. She had been crying a lot lately, and hadn't left her room other than to eat and clean herself. It was almost the same way she acted when her mother died. As she was sitting in her room, she heard a knock at the door. She just looked up at the door before whispering, "Come in…"

The man at the door opened it, and standing there was Uta.

"Well, hello Hinami." The man greeted the girl. She just sat there and didn't reply, too sad to do so. Uta smirked at this, as this would turn to his advantage. Kaneki didn't deserve the love of this girl, so why not crush it right here and now. 'I'll be luckier if she kills herself out ofdepression…' the man thought. He was going to cause as much pain to Kaneki as he could.

"I have some news about Kaneki and Touka…" he stated in a fake tone of sorrow, Hinami perking up.

"Onii-chan and Onee-chan?!" Uta nodded and Hinami became more engrossed. She wanted to see them again.

"Apparently, Kaneki hasn't been…eating his 'food'." Hinami seemed to sadden at the thought of Kaneki being sick, if that's what he meant. But no, it wasn't.

"He has been eating other ghouls…" and those were the words that lit her ablaze. Tears brimmed at the edge of her eyes, knowing what was going to come next.

"He has been seen as a kakuja…"

"HEY! I FOUND SOMEONE!" as they dug up the person under the rubble in the 13th ward. The most recent site of a ghoul attack on a CCG building had been undergoing a search and rescue. They had only found five people so far, four of them being on the list of most recent CCG trainees. Akira Mado had survived surprisingly. They were now getting yet another out of the destruction, it being around two weeks without any luck of survivors.

"Nope, he's dead. Damn bastards. They took us completely by surprise…" one CCG investigator stated furiously. This had taken the CCG's numbers down by about 50. And they were hunting them down, believing they were somewhere in the 13thward. The CCG had gotten information regarding their attackers, mainly the Eyepatch. Being a one eyed ghoul, they had learned a lot of things. He could potentially eat human food without being sick, it might taste bad to him, but his stomach could tolerate it, allowing him to blend into human society better. He had an advanced healing power, probably as good as Noro's from Aogiri. That, and he could get past the sensors in any CCG building.

This gave him the upper advantage. Their informant? Akira. Apparently he had come in under the name Haise Sasaki, and had been 'Trained' under Akira.

"Sir, from what we see here, Eyepatch is more dangerous than we thought." One CCG investigator told another, or other known as TakeHikaro. The man had seen the battle with the Eyepatch and Arima. He then started walking away, but before going out of sight, he gave an order.

"Classify him as an SSS-rank ghoul…"

Kaneki awoke very suddenly amongst his bed, sweat beads coming down his face. He felt tired, yet he was on full alert. The boy sat there for a minute, trying to slow his heart beat down. Soon, the door opened, and Touka walked in with a black shirt and shorts. She sawKaneki awake and gave him a small smile.

"Well, look whose awake." The purple haired girl said as she walked over to the bed.

"What…happened last night?" Kaneki asked slowly, earning a surprised look from Touka.

"I'm surprised you remember. You were on the ground having an attack of sorts…Ken…what's going on?" Kaneki looked down. He wanted to answer honestly, but if he did, he didn't know what she would do. Kaneki sighed, this was a tough answer. He decided to roll with it.

"Nothing really, just haven't been eating right." Touka seemed to believe this, as she seemed to calm down at this.

"Don't make me force feed you like last time!" She suddenly shouted. This allowed Kaneki to chuckle a bit.

"Like that would happen…"

"Oh it will, Bakaneki! If you keep it up!"

Hinami was crying again. She had just heard from Uta the possibility of Touka being eaten by Kaneki, him being a cannibal and all. Also, it was nearing her birthday, and the two wouldn't be there. The ghoul wept on her bed, Nishiki had come in earlier to try and cheer her up, but it didn't work. She just sat there. Sat there and cried.

"Why, Onii-chan…don't eat Onee-chan…" Hinami squeaked to herself, the thought being too much for her to handle. Soon, she cried herself to sleep.

Kaneki walked out of his room, dressed completely in his normal attire, AKA his battle suit. He grabbed his mask off of a desk and looked at it for a little while. Touka came out behind him, a questioning look on her face.

"What's with the battle suit?" The girl asked Kaneki, who just glanced at her before looking back at his mask.

"I'm returning you back to the 20th ward. It's too dangerous for you here…" before he could finish, Touka suddenly hugged him from behind, clutching him tight. He felt her shaking a little bit, and asked what was bothering her.

"I don't want you to leave…" Kaneki stiffened up at this, realizing how this scenario had become reoccurring. He didn't know what to think. He just sat there before saying anything else.

"This is my last act of protection Touka-chan. After this, I will be hunting some people down…" Touka flinched a little at those words. This hurt her. She might not see him again.

"Don't worry. Just because I won't have your back doesn't mean you won't see me, Touka-chan. The people I'm after are closer than you think." Now Touka wanted to know. As she was about to ask, Kaneki squirmed out of her grip. The boy was on the other side of the room, staring off into space. Touka just stared at him with a sad face.

"Who," Touka started, catching Kaneki's attention, "Who are you after?"

Kaneki just smirked at her curiosity. He found it amusing, "I won't tell who, but what they did."

Touka perked up at this. Anything to help Kaneki, she would do it. She wanted to help. "They took my humanity from me." Touka seemed to know what he meant, as they had been on this subject in the past. The fact that he had found out wasn't something she expect. Toukawalked over to him and looked at him in the eyes. They held a longing for revenge. A thirst even. As she stood there, they seemed to draw closer. It was hard to tell, but soon enough their lips met. It felt exactly like last time, except it was longer. After about what felt like years, the two backed away from each other to breathe again. They both looked away, avoiding the others gaze, a blush filling their cheeks.

"Come on, Touka-chan. We're leaving now." And with that they headed out the door.

NOW! Woo! More Touken! Yay! Gotta say this one was nice and Touken filled, with more of a trust relationship developing. Again. Thank you SomeRandomGuyOntheNet. Your proof reading skills are helpful! So, Kaneki's now an SSS rank ghoul. Touka is REturning to Antieku. Hinami is upset. and Uta is trying to hurt Kaneki anyway possible. man, lots of crazy! Thank you all for reviewing and such. It means lots to me~
