Sorry for long update...?
I do not own Tokyo Ghoul.
Kaneki woke up. His heart still ached. Minato was gone. And it was forever. With a groan, Kaneki got up and dressed. He went to work. Touka wasn't there. Then he remembered it was her day off.
Maybe I'll see her at the grave. I really need to give that place a name.
Before Kaneki knew it, his shift ended. He left and was soon at the grave. There lying on the ground, was Touka. She was covered with cuts and bruises. Just like Minato when he died...
"Touka...?" Kaneki ran towards her and bent down to check her pulse. It was faint. She needed meat. Fast.
"Kaneki?" Touka asked weakly. "I feel like I'm going to die."
"I'm not going to let you. I've lost too many already." Kaneki rolled up his sleeve. He put his arm into her mouth. "Eat."
Touka shook her head. Kaneki sighed.
Thought she would do that.
He forced her to close her mouth. Once she bit his arm, she didn't stop eating. She licked every last drop of blood she could drink. The taste... It was surprisingly sweet.
Touka got enough. She didn't want to stop...
"Sorry."
"It's fine. I'll heal." Touka sat up. Kaneki hugged her. "Don't die on me."
"I won't. You made me eat. I'll heal." Touka hugged him back.
"Who did this to you?" Kaneki asked. "Was it Tsukiyama?"
Touka nodded. Kaneki's eyes narrowed. "I swear... I'm going to kill him..."
"Can you stand?"
"No..."
"That's fine. I'll carry you back to Anteiku." Kaneki scooped her up and started walking back to Anteiku. Somewhere along the way, Touka fell asleep lulled by Kaneki's warmth.
Kaneki carried her into his apartment, where he set her on his bed. He went and got a first aid kit. Kaneki worked putting disinfect and bandages on the cuts. All the while trying to to wake Touka. The disinfect had a really sharp sting. Touka cried out on cut one million.
"Ow..." Touka complained.
"Sorry. I need to finish though..." There were about a billion cuts left.
"Where am I?" Touka watched Kaneki work.
"In my apartment."
"Sorry about eating you earlier..." Touka couldn't get rid of the taste. It was strangely satisfying...
"It's fine." It was then, when Touka noticed the bandage on his own arm.
"Are you okay?" Touka asked, touching the bandage delicately. Kaneki winced when she touched it.
"I said, I'm fine. Now let me finish. I'm almost done." Touka shut her mouth letting Kaneki finish in silence.
"There. I'm done." Kaneki said after a few minutes.
"Thanks. You didn't need to do that you know."
Kaneki's expression hardened. "I'm not going to let anyone else die because of me."
Touka tried to sit up.
"Don't sit up. You can stay in my bed for the rest of the night or as long as you need to. I'll sleep on the couch." Kaneki turned to leave.
"Wait. What time is it?" Touka wanted to know how much time passed.
"It's 10. Sleep. You need it. Good night." Kaneki left.
Touka watched him leave and close the door. She sighed.
He's right. I should sleep.
Touka buried her face into his blanket, inhaling his sweet scent.
Kaneki woke up the next day. He was on the couch.
Why am I on the couch?
Yesterday's events came back.
Oh. I should go check on Touka I guess.
Kaneki got up and walked over to his room. He cracked the door open. Immediately, Touka woke up.
"Sorry. I just came to check on you." Kaneki sounded apologetic.
"It's fine."
This went on for another month. Kaneki worked Touka's shifts for her. He went home into his apartment tired. Sometimes he forgot to even feed himself. Touka reminded him when he checked on her.
"Touka. I'm gonna leave for a couple of days to find Tsukiyama and kill him. Irimi-san is going to take care of you." Kaneki said one day.
"Okay... Wait. Don't leave me!"
"Sorry...? You'll be fine." Kaneki closed the door.
Where would Tsukiyama hide? Probably at the warehouse. Where I died.
Kaneki walked past his table, only to notice a letter with a rose on it.
Only Tsukiyama would put something like that... What did he do now?
Kaneki. I'm where you died. Fight to the death here. Get over here, or I will kill her.
-Tsukiyama
Damn you. You really know how to persuade people, don't you. Sensei. Are you there?
Yes. What do you want?
Tell me if I die. I want to be ready.
Fine. You don't die. Actually. You end up killing Tsukiyama.
Thanks...
Kaneki ripped the piece of paper and headed towards the warehouse.
"Tsukiyama! I'm here. Now let's fight!"
"Kaneki. Ready as always." Tsukiyama smirked. His kagune was out, curling around his arm. "Let's fight."
Kaneki ran forward and punched him.
"My. How about I show you how to fight?" Tsukiyama punched him, hard. "That is a real punch."
He then kicked him, making Kaneki fly to the other side of the large room. "And that is a real kick!"
So he got stronger huh.
Kaneki got up. The punch and kick hadn't done anything to him. "You're a disgusting piece of trash. You killed Minato. And you hurt Touka. I'll make sure you don't get out alive."
Kaneki wiped his mouth a hour later. He had killed Tsukiyama and ate him. "I avenged you Minato."
Kaneki got up and headed for Anteiku.
Home.
Kaneki headed up the stairs to his apartment. Irimi was inside. "Oh. Kaneki. I thought you would be back in a couple of days."
"Tsukiyama sent a message to where he was. I ate him." Kaneki walked to the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."
"I'm going to get out of here. Unless...?"
"It's fine. You can go. Thanks." Kaneki closed the door and took a long shower.
Oh shit. My clothes are dirty and I forgot to get clean clothes... They're in my room, but Touka is in there. I'll just go into my room and change. I hope Touka's asleep.
Just in case, Kaneki put on some pants and walked into his room.
Touka was not asleep. She had woken up and decided it was impossible to go to sleep. She was to awake. With Irimi's help, she managed to get into a sitting position. She sat staring out the window.
If only Kaneki could put a T.V or something...
Suddenly the door opened. It was Kaneki... His upper half was naked...
"Kaneki?" Touka quickly looked away.
Dang. He really has muscle.
Touka wasn't kidding. Kaneki had a perfect six-pack and his body was muscular but not too muscular.
"Sorry. I just needed to change. I'll take my clothes and get out..." Kaneki wasted no time doing just that.
Damn it. So she was awake.
Kaneki quickly changed and went to get some human meat. He walked into his room.
"Are you hungry? I saw that Irimi didn't touch the meat from my stock..." Kaneki offered her the block of meat.
"Thanks." Touka hungrily reached for it and shoved it into her mouth.
"Did Irimi change your bandages...?" Kaneki already knew. It wasn't much of a question.
"Yeah. I'm almost done healing. Then I can get out of here."
Kaneki grabbed a chair and sat by her. He reached for her hand. "Your hand's cold."
"Is it?" Touka tightened her grip on Kaneki's hand. "Well, your hands warm."
Touka hugged him. "Stay with me."
Kaneki hugged her back. "Yeah, sure."
Touka fell asleep and Kaneki soon did the same.
Tell me if there are any errors.
