Kaneki POV:

I leaped on top of the nearest building and ran as fast as I could. Hurry god dammit! She's going to lose conscience soon, and if that happens there's a high chance that she might never wake up. I thought and looked down at her, she had closed her eyes. 

"(Y/N)?" I called out to her carefully. No answer. She isn't asleep, is she!? "(Y/N)!!" I yelled at her, but she wouldn't open her eyes. I kept calling her name, but no matter how many times I called out to her, she didn't answer. God, she didn't even show the slightest sign that she could hear me! (Y/N) please... Stay with me! I thought and forced out my kagune out to go even faster. There it was! The hospital! 

I leaped down behind a building and forced back in my kagune, I had gotten better at controlling it after... I mentally slapped myself, there's no time!  I ran into the hospital and made sure to keep my ghoul eye shut. I've dropped my eyepatch while fighting that bastard who hurt (Y/N). God, I should have killed him slower and much, much more painful, but I had no time, (Y/N) was critically hurt. 

"Please, I need a doctor for her! She's been seriously wounded and is bleeding out!!" I yelled in a panic and immediately caught everyone's attention. A team of five doctors quickly came running towards us with a hospital bed. I gently laid her down on it, but she was still clinging to my hand. It's like she's holding onto it for dear life. (Y/N).... I looked down at her pale face with sorrow filling my eyes. 

"What happened to her?" One of the doctors asked me, bringing me out of my thoughts as I ran beside the hospital bed. 

"She was attacked by a ghoul." Was all I said and saw the all the doctor's eyes widen, what the hell was I supposed to say other than that? I couldn't tell them how I got her out of there! "Please help her..." I begged the doctor who had asked me. He looked at me for a moment then at (Y/N).

"We'll do out best sir... But you'll have to come with my colleague over there, we gotta get you checked for injuries too." He said and pointed in the direction of a woman in a white nurse uniform. I looked back at (Y/N) and our intertwined hands. 

"I have no injuries..." I said and stared at the doctor as we stopped in front of a big door. He looked skeptically at my bloodstained face and clothing. 

"I think it would be a good idea to get you checked, just to be sure." He said and removed my hand from (Y/N)'s. I don't know why but my heart stopped for a moment and then began to ache. "We'll take good care of her." They then took her with them and closed the doors behind them. The little green sign over the door turned red, and I slowly backed away from the door. (Y/N)... I looked back in the direction of the nurse, she was sending me a reasurring smile and I walked towards her.

"Right this way, Mr. ...?" She said and looked at me curiously.

"Ken Kaneki." I said and looked back over my shoulder, at the closed door which (Y/N) was behind. The nurse looked at me and softened her eyes.

"Mr. Kaneki. Don't worry, your girlfriend is going to be just fine. They just gotta operate a little on her stomach and shoulder... I need you to tell me what happened, and where, so we can call The CCG." She said firmly while guiding me into her office. The CCG huh? Bastards... I thought, then something stopped inside my head, ... did she just say... Girlfriend!? I looked down at her in shock and shook my head furiously. 

"S-She's not... Not my... Ummm..." I stuttered and looked away from her in a panic, a slight blush forming on my cheeks. She looked at me in surprise and then bowed her head in an apologetic manner. 

"O-Oh I'm sorry! I just thought that-- It was just the way you held her hand and the way that you called for help and and and--!" She panicked and apologized. I couldn't stop smiling a little at her reaction. 

"It's okay." I stopped her and sat down in the chair which she had pointed me to. (Y/N) isn't my... I bet she hates me anyway... I just left her behind for so long... I betrayed her by staying away, but I was only trying to protect her and then I saw what that asshole was doing to her and--! I was brought out of my thoughts by the nurse.

"Okay then, if you just start telling me what happened from the beginning, then I'll check you for wounds in the meantime." She smiled and stood in front of me. I nodded and stood up to remove my clothing so she could check me. 


~Time skip - three hours~

I sighed and looked in the direction of the operation room again. They've been in there for three hours now and I'm only getting more and more worried by every minute that passes. Twice, I've heard them yell about her heart stopping and every time, I think mine is too. I don't want her to die like this, she is one of those who I wish to protect the most. If she dies, it'll be my fault for being late when that ghoul attacked... Honestly, what was she thinking walking around alone at night like that!? 

I looked down at the fresh clothing that the hospital gave me. A dark blue shirt and white pants, they also gave me an eyepatch like the one I used to use back at Anteiku... I wonder how they're doing back there... I felt my stomach growl and a slight pain coming from it. I sighed yet again and stood up, my hunger is driving me crazy... I haven't eaten for almost two months... I'm beginning to reach the limit, coffee can't help me out of this one and being in a freaking hospital doesn't really help that much either! The smell of blood and flesh and death was all around me... It smelled delicious, I just want to walk straight into that operating room and take a big bite of (Y/N)... I bet she has a very good taste judging from the scent she has... I bet no one would mind if I just-- My eyes widen in shock over my own thoughts, how the fuck can I even be thinking this!? I held both my hands to my head as if trying to keep the thoughts out. Oh, come on... You know you want to... 

"NO!" I yelled in frustration and shook my head, earning a few patients and doctors to look at me. "... I'm sorry." I apologized and quickly walked toward the exit.
