     "Kaneki, when I was in the Aogiri, I learned a lot of plans and such. We need to begin preparing, the Aogiri wants to launch a full on attack on the CCG, they plan to breach cochlea and kill any other human or ghoul that stand in their way." I explain. Our anti Aogiri group was gathering information aboutt the upcoming war. On our way back I began to explain both sides. "The CCG, already wanting most to all ghouls exterminated were thickening up their mix of doves, spreading them everywhere. Though they were becoming more dense in the 20 th and 11 th ward's not to mention 13 and 14." I pause to gather myself. "Not only that but both sides plan to bring in as many troops in as possible. They also want to lure other groups and ghouls so they can be annihilated in one fatal swoop." I finish off as Kaneki nods. Even though we were together we were more like comrades than lovers in the moment. Which the current situation we were in didn't give us all that much time for romance. Though we did bask in each others company.
     I sighed and leaned on him. After he had fallen asleep, I stayed awake, unable to sleep, and began to research. It was somewhat easy for me to hack into the CCG system as I was an Ex. CCG investigator. I read through the current cases and plans, not to mention the new squads and recruits. Carefully checking background, ranks, quinque. With current cases I read, i did something similar, checking kagune type, rank, etc. The current buzz of the CCG was of course Aogiri, owl, and the current activity from a new ghoul eyepatch. The gourmet and binge eater were nothing but that of the past.
    "Are you ok?" Kaneki asks me quietly. I nod silently as I buried my head in his side. I was incredibly tired, I was working myself to hard and I knew it, but at that same time I didn't care. I needed to help, help is what I would do. I sat up and smiled at him. He wrapped his arms around me. "I love you sunshine."
     "I love you too darling." I replied, I stood up and stretched, I needed to clean this place up.
      "What are you doing?" He asked me. 
     "I'm just straightening up before it get too late. While I'm at it you should have hinami get ready for bed and continue with the others." I shot him a caring smile.
     "Don't work too hard please." He begged. After that night I learned he lost his mother that way.
    "I'll try, but I have you know I work a lot and I'm used to it." I chuckle kissing the snowy top of his head. Other than Kaneki, I knew I should be working so much. I needed to be well rested and strong for the upcoming war. I needed to be able to protect everyone, all of my friends. Despite me being ghoul, I still cared about my friends from the CCG. Suzuya, Akira, even Arima I considered to be good friends of mine. They're the reason I'm still alive, they didn't kill me that day. I don't know if it was out of pity, pity if being turned into this monster all for science, or compassion and trust, for the fact we had all worked together and trusted each other's abilities. I had to wonder, what would they do if i were to return? Would they kill me? Give me a chance and let me work with them again? Or would they lock me away within the depths of cochlea? I hadn't realized I was staring at my hands with disgust and horror.
    "(y/n) are you sure you're alright?" Kaneki questioned me. I nodded and laughed.
     "Of course, I'm just tired." Tired of this big jumbled war in my head~ I thought annoyedly. I continued on and picked up the dishes, and placed them in the small black dishwasher, began folding laundry after that. Hinami was helping of course. She had just barely gotten out of the shower and dressed.
    "(y/n)-nii-Chan, you seem sad, is something troubling you." I looked over at her from the towel I was folding.
    "There's a lot of things troubling me, Hina-Chan, some of them are just a little too complicated right now. I wouldn't worry about it though. Thank you though, for asking." I said gently and hugged her. She immediately hugged me back.
    "You remind me a lot of my mom (y/n)-nii-chan." She said hugging me tighter, "please don't leave me, please take care of me!" She cried into my shoulder. I felt a pang of guilt ring through me. I hugged her closer.
    "Of course I will my Hinami." I wish I had known my future, because if did, I wouldn't have made that promise. If only I knew.
