Chapter 3

Kaneki woke up and looked around the room, his silver eyes landed on Hide who was sitting beside him. He was back in his cell, hooked up to an IV and lying in bed.

Hide gently kissed Kaneki's forehead. "You okay?"

"Yeah…. What happened?"

"The CCG took you away for surgery and I was questioned again. After they returned you to the room, they brought me here so I can see you."

Kaneki looked around, he was still weak from his surgery. "We need to get out of here." Kaneki ripped out the IV from his arm and sat up.

Hide supported Kaneki. "Take it easy. You shouldn't be up. Your body is still healing."

"My body is fine. Now let's go."

A random CCG member entered the room. "Return to your bed Centipede."

Kaneki glared at the CCG member.

Arima entered. "Calm down everyone."

Kaneki protectively stood in front of Hide.

Arima adjusted his glasses. "At ease Centipede." Arima looked at the CCG member. "What is Centipede doing in this room?"

The CCG member was confused.

"Move the Centipede and his mate to S block cell 1."

The CCG member saluted and handcuffed Kaneki who refused to struggle.

Kaneki walked with Hide noticing an anklet attached to his own ankle.

They walked down the hall, following Arima who stopped at a door and unlocked it. He held the door open for the two. "This room will be both your new residence."

Hide and Kaneki entered and gasped. The apartment looked just like their own.

"Please relax. Miss Akira will aid and assist you in any way you need all you have to do is call her." Arima handed Hide a cellphone. "That phone will only call Miss Akira and no one else."

Hide stuffed the cell into his pocket.

Kaneki felt weak.

Hide supported his husband when he noticed Kaneki's knees began to wobble. "You okay?"

"I'm not feeling too good." Kaneki admitted.

"Let's get you in bed. You need to heal."

Arima led Hide down the hall and opened the door; a giant king-sized bed awaited inside. "This will be your new room."

Hide helped Kaneki lay down.

A scientist rolled in an IV drip and connected Kaneki back up to the device.

Arima watched as Hide made sure his husband was comfortable.

Hide fluffed a pillow and set it behind Kaneki's head. "You okay?"

Kaneki kissed Hide. "I'm okay, I love you." He said softly.

"I love you too, Ken."

Arima situated his glasses. "I will leave you and Centipede alone." Arima said to Hide.

Hide watched the two CCG members leave. He looked around the apartment, knowing they were under surveillance. He curled up beside Kaneki and held him close to his body. "Are you sure that you're okay?"

Kaneki kissed Hide's cheek. "I will be fine."

Hide kissed Kaneki. "I promise we will both be fine. I won't let them touch you."
