I Wouldn't Change A Thing

Ryouko

I continue to stay with at the café, but soon ask to go to the back so I didn't attract attention towards myself. Of course Mr. Yoshimura agrees. I slowly get the twins to settle down while I set Kou down. I had them some scratch paper that I found along with a small box of crayons. I gently brush my hands over the top of their heads. Why couldn't this seem to be something that could last, and publicly. I knew that I would have to make sure that they would be safe. They need to be.

It probably wouldn't just be the four of us if Kaneki wasn't off work nor had Hinami and her Mom left earlier. I continue to watch them coloring. Some of the designs were just scribbles and lines, others were shapes like circles, triangles, squares, etc. 

Soon though, I feel my heart beating rapidly, like I was having an anxiety attack. Except, it wasn't. It wasn't from me. I try and take deep breathes, before I can't see the correct scenery anymore.

Suddenly, I'm not seeing anything from Anteiku's anymore. It's a drizzle outside and in front of a white-haired man holding some sort of spiky kagune. With the bring walls close, I'm assuming it's an alleyway. I watch the white-haired man slash the kagune across me. I catch out of the corner of my eye, there's blood quickly seeping onto the pavement below me. With my vision being straight, I now take notice of the white jackets that he's wearing. Dove! My mind screams at me.

Soon the scenery changes once again, but not very different from this last one with the alleyway. I feel like I'm trying to hide. Partly in my vision, is a paved wall, and you're looking down the alleyway and I see the backs of the man in white and grey coats. I seen the person: Hinami's Mom, Ryouko. She was decapitated from her body.

I feel my hands trying to shake. Something warm was rolling down my face. I soon feel hands moving over my face. My eyes move their gaze to see who was there, it was Nishiki. Shit! I disrupted him from working today. I shouldn't have done that.

I want to say sorry to him, but I couldn't. I quickly move my head and bury it into his chest, quickly wrapping my arms around him, clinging to the back of his uniform. How was I suppose to tell him that I saw someone die? When his arms wrap around me, I could stop the on-coming flooding tears. I can't hold in the feelings anymore. I just can't. We stay there for awhile until I can manage to calm down, which isn't a short period of time. He continues to rub my back. Slowly, my arms wrap from around him. I slowly look up towards him.

"What happen?" Nishiki ask, this worry clinging to his facial features. I shake my head slightly at that. I couldn't say it, not right now. Especially not now.

"Nishi, I," I start shaking my head slightly as I feel more hot tears rolling down my face. "I saw it. All of it," I say looking at him.

Nishiki moves his hands to my face, brushing just below my eyes. I feel the salty warm water being erase off my face. "Take your time," he whispers as he continues brushing my face. My hands slowly move to hold over Nishi's.

"It's Ryouko," I whisper.

"What about Ryouko?" I hear someone from the doorway say. My attention turns towards the source, there I see Yomo was the one was that spoke. Standing beside Yomo was Koma. The kids were standing right behind the two older males, a worry expression holding on their faces.

I shaky my head slightly as I feel the tears threatening to spill again. I lean my head into the crook. My hands reach up, gripping onto his shirt. "Doves," somehow the word is muttering pass my lips.
