It's been a while since Y/n has heard about the two kids, but she knows it was that Kaneki and Rize. It was just a guess, but a good one. Because not long after she heard from Touka that the kid Kaneki was now working at Anteiku.

Y/n walked through the doors of Anteiku, ready to get more coffee since she ran out this morning. The smell of coffee beans and the chatter of customers filled the air, Y/n smiled as she walked up to the counter where Touka resided. "Hey Touka." Y/n's smooth voice caught the attention of Touka, who smiled at the H/c-ette.
"Hey Y/n! Run out of coffee?" Y/n nodded as Touka went to the back to retrieve Y/n's special order. She then noticed Kaneki and his friend, Hide she thought, talking over the counter. Y/n decided to go over and talk, because why not?

"Hey guys." She said slipping her hands into her leather jacket pockets. Hide and Kaneki turned their gaze over to Y/n.
"H-hi." Kaneki said, slightly scared of Y/n's appearance. Y/n had a black beanie over her h/c hair, a f/b t-shirt, f/c skinny jeans, and black converse. Y/n didn't think she looked scary, but she guess she did to him.

"No need to be afraid," Y/n laughed. "I'm Y/n, nice to meet you." She held her hand out to Kaneki, who hesitantly shook it then to Hide who shook it firmly.
"I'm Hideyoshi Nagachika, but you can call me Hide!" He states proudly. "This is my friend Kaneki!"

Touka then came out with Y/n's special order, which Kaneki cringed at when he saw it. "Thank you, Touka-San." Y/n winked as Touka laughed.

"Hey, Touka?" Y/n asked. "Do you think I could get a job here? It's getting really hard paying my bills."

"Sure, I'll go get a résumé!" Touka then left again as Y/n turned back to the boys.
"So Kaneki works here, what do you do Hide?"

"Well...nothing yet." He nervously laughed. "But I'm working on it!" Touka then returned with the résumé and handed it to Y/n.
"Thanks."

<><><><>

When Y/n finished the résumé was when it wasn't so busy anymore. Mostly everyone had gone home besides the employees and Y/n. "Well I took longer than I thought..." Y/n laughed. She then handed the papers to Touka who took it to the boss.

"So Kaneki," Y/n said when it was just them two in the room. "You're a new ghoul, right?" He nodded as he swept. "That means you need a mask."

"That's a great idea, Miss. L/n." Came a voice next to Touka, who just walked in. Yoshimura!
"A mask?" Kaneki says.

"Yes," Yoshi, Y/n's nickname for him, said. "I think you should have one."
"I see." Was Kaneki's response.

"Touka-chan," Yoshi says as Touka walks by. "Do you mind taking Kaneki down to get a mask made for him tomorrow?"

Her face turned angry. "What? But tomorrow's my only day off! I don't want to spend it with this loser!"
Y/n got a little angry at how insensitive she was, didn't she know the Doves were investigating the 20th ward?
Y/n started think, then it hit her.

"Touka," Y/n smiled. "I could go with you and Kaneki. Besides, I need a mask myself!" Truth is, she already had a mask she made herself, the one that Anubis wears. But, just in case, she should get another one. "That's a good idea, Y/n." Yoshimura complimented.
"Fine!" Touka said with a sour tone.

<><><><>

As they all walked down the damp streets weird sounds were heard, bottles broken and people screaming. Y/n had to hide the disgust from her face. After a while they finally made it to the HySy Mask studio and all walked in. While Touka called out for Uta, Y/n looked around.

All sorts of masks covered the grey walls, black and white checkered floor held golden pedestals held black manikins with all different masks on them, but one had a white tarp covering something. Kaneki walked over to it and lifted it up, only to be scared by Uta. Touka and Y/n laughed as Kaneki fell back and screamed. Uta's and
Y/n's eyes met for a second. 'Oh shit,' she thought. 'It's him...I've seen him before.' As Uta thought of where he'd seen Y/n before, Touka cut them off from their staring contest.
"Well, uh." Touka coughed. "Uta, this is Kaneki. He needs a mask. And so does my Y/n."

"Alright." Uta says with a blank face. "Kaneki, go sit over there so I can take your measurements." Kaneki does as said as Ita follows him. I zone out as Uta starts asking Kaneki questions.

Flashback:
Y/n was on one of her assassination missions. She was hired to kill a certain ghoul who was eating other ghouls for sometime now. Y/n's client promised lots of money, who wouldn't take the job? The only thing wrong with the job was it was a set-up, a trap to get Anubis killed. Y/n had to find a place to stay, and then luckily found Uta's studio. She literally ran into Uta, who probably smelled knew her scent now.
Flashback over.

Y/n heard Uta call her over. Y/n sighed and sat down in the chair Kaneki used to sit in. He started asking questions from "Allergic to any metals?" To "do you have a boyfriend?"

"Uh...no. I don't have one." Y/n answered. 'When you're an assassin it's really hard to love. I don't think I can love anymore...'
"What about Kane-"
"The death of a bachelor~ Letting the water fall, the death of a bachelor, seems so fitting for-" Y/n chuckled nervously as she pulled out her phone. "Sorry." She said, pressing the answer button.

"Hello?" Y/n asked into the phone.
"Hello, Y/n. It's Brian, we have another client." Y/n sighed.
"Can it wait or-"
"No. Y/n, trust me. It's a big paying job."
"Fine," she sighs, looking at Uta apologetically. "I'll be there soon."

"Sorry guys, I have to go."
