What lies inbetween (Touka x Kaneki)

Chapter 8- reunion

(KANEKI'S POV)
A woman's scream filled the room I was in. Touka Kirishima. Her name echoed through my head as tears formed around the rim of my eyes. Why did it have to end up like this?
All I wanted was to save her, protect her but now look.. I really am a sitting duck. The door opened, I could only assume it was Juuzou.
"don't worry about her screams, she's not dead... yet." the same mysteriously happy voice went through my head.
"Please, you can beat me, hurt me, kill me, but for the love of god," I gulped, "please, don't hurt her anymore." I found myself begging towards a merciless person. He sighed then his feet edged towards the bed, a large square of flesh landed in front of me. It smelt like no one else but Touka. Rage filled my body and my ghoul eye came into contact.
"Well, it's not fair to starve you, " Juuzou mumbled, "sooo, have this!"
I scowled as he pushed the flesh towards me...I promised that I would have no more ghoul flesh after Jason, I don't need a kakuja transformation constantly threatening me. I don't want to loose my sanity. However, if I'm going to save Touka this needs to happen. I breathed in her scent and allowed my kakugan to take over as Suzuya pushed the food towards me, I can't believe they don't even know what happens when a ghoul cannibalises.
"mm, interesting." the enemy spoke as i engulfed the flesh, "so, if ghouls will happily eat each other as well as humans - Why do they still insist on killing us?" he held a hand to his forehead and rubbed it.
I felt movement from my twin centipede tails as I finished chewing the flesh and gasped as a beak formed over my face. Memories flew through my head. Jason. The accident. Mother. An excruciating pain travelled through my body as the large centipedes pushed out of my back, I managed to hold back a scream. Juuzou was facing the other way, giving me an even better advantage towards my transformation. I licked the remaining blood from around my mouth but my stomach still begged for more.
"This," I slashed through my leg restraints with both centipedes, "Is why we don't cannibalise more than needed." I finally broke through my hand restraints and tugged at the leather around my neck. Juuzou did nothing but stare- his eyes opening wider and wider. I smiled and felt excitement rush through my body, causing my Rinkaku tentacles to appear as well. Luckily, they didn't quite neutralise my sack. The young investigator edged backwards and his hands fumbled for the door - I wanted to kill him but something pulled me back, making me rage inside.
Two tentacles ripped the door off its hinges and a hysterical laugh escaped my mouth. Touka's light scent filled the air, causing my body to track her down, I wanted to eat. I ran through four corridors before I reached the room she was in. Before breaching the door, I pushed my ear against it; Two voices, the same ones I heard before spoke to each other. I wanted to break open the door and eat but something in the back of my mind held me back,
"We should leave now." is all I managed to make out from a woman. Panic filled my chest as I tried to find a good hiding place- the only decent one was a beam on the ceiling. I used one of my tentacles to boost me up towards the beam and I gently perched on it as the door opened. Of course, two investigators strolled out: i recognised the man as Amon from our previous conflict but the woman was unfamiliar.. However, she looked similar to Mado.

After the investigators had gone, I managed to open the door using my hands this time. I walked in and breathed in the sweet smell of Touka, I edged over to bed then wrapped my hand around one of her arms, pulling slightly. My mouth watered as I stared at the open wound on her back. She gently opened her eyes but as she saw me panic filled them. A memory of her smiling at me in Anteiku blocked my vision and I groaned at the pain which filled my head. I tried again to grab an arm but something stopped me. All I wanted was her blood in my mouth but the same pain held me back every time I tried. She stared deeper into my eyes making my whole body numb.
"Kaneki." Her voice controlled me, I began to loosen her leg restraints but was interrupted by another pain in my back. I screamed as one of the centipedes began to push into my back. I snapped back to reality and saw her eyes relax slightly. Halfway through her second leg restraint, the door began to open.
"Hold on Touka-Chan, I won't let them hurt you again." I whispered into her delicate ear whilst reassuringly rubbing her shoulder. The woman walked in as I hid behind a table with tools resting on it.
(TOUKA'S POV)
"Glad to see your conscious already, we will be neutralising your pouch in a few days.. gives you cha-" I cut her off by implanting the back of my heel into her head. Kaneki stood up. He walked over to my bed again then undid the rest of the restraints, the woman on the floor was stirring gently.
"Thank you," I mumbled as i tried sitting up, "How did you," a cough interrupted my sentence, "how did you manage to escape?" He helped me sit up then pulled me into his arms, I inhaled his sweet smell.
"I'll tell you when we're out of here." He whispered into my hair as I buried my face into his chest. The woman was now stood up, with a radio in hand. Before she could summon her CCG friends, one of Kaneki's red tentacles wrapped around her wrist then aggressively pulled the device out of her grasp. She looked into Kaneki's eyes and slowly backed up. I tried to summon my kagune but was to weak however, Kaneki seemed already on task.
"No no no..." the blonde haired investigator then grasped for the door; as she turned around to begin running, the same red tentacle which stole the radio wrapped around her ankle. She let out a pathetic screech as her body hit the ground. A slight chuckle from Kaneki made the atmosphere slightly lighter, making me laugh as well. We knelt down next to the blonde investigator and turned her over I wondered where she came from, how she became an investigator, if she really was Mado's daughter. Her almost innocent eyes were filled with fear. I could tell Kaneki felt as bad as I did but neither of us really cared. Besides, a ghoul needs to eat and after what she has done to me and Kaneki, who cares anymore? One of his red tentacles gently traveled towards Akira's stomach, urging to break through the skin. Just as Kaneki was about to impale her, I gently drew a hand across his cheek.
"Let me, please." I almost whispered. He gave me an uneasy glare before halting and allowing me to do the rest. I summoned bright kagune, stared down at Akira then finally forced mesmerising crystal shards down into the woman's chest. A sinister scream followed by a gentle sigh indicated that she was dead. I looked around once more before snapping off a hand from our victim and bringing it towards my mouth. I felt Kaneki look away. He's been a ghoul for about two and a half years and still can't handle the feeding.

I finished my meal then gently wiped the blood from around my mouth. Although Akira tasted awful, I didn't say anything because I needed food. Kaneki still had an arm around my waist, it was a shock considering no other CCG members had swarmed in on us. I felt the wound on my back heal slowly, it still ached where the scalpel fist pierced my skin but I ignored it. Akira's hair gently blew her face, I gently forced my hands towards her still open eyes and pushed down her eyelids with two fingers. A slight cracking sound could be heard as they closed because of how silent the corridor was.
"We should go..." I mumbled.
