My Precious [Kaneki x Reader]

Chapter 8 - Busted

~  Time skip to the next day ~ 

Kaneki's POV:

(Y/N) and I had made an agreement since no one could know that I was alive and she still had school to take care of. She was to go to school every day as usual and I would stay at her apartment. 

"Okay, I'm leaving now Kaneki, I'll be home at 3!" She called from the front door as she took her backpack on and shot me a smile. 

"Just a moment (Y/N)," I said and walked to her. She gave me a questioning look and waited for me to continue. I pulled her close as we shared a kiss, "If you see any doves just come straight home, okay?" I said and looked into her (E/C) eyes. She nodded and gave me a reassuring smile.

"I'll be okay Kaneki, and besides even if I saw them they wouldn't have any reason to hurt me." She smiled and with that, she left. I just stood there and looked at the door, ... They don't need a reason (Y/N), that's why I'm worried... 

~ Time skip to Kamii University ~ 

(Y/N) POV:

I arrived at Kamii as I heard a familiar voice call out to me. 

"(Y/N)! Over here!" I looked up to see Hide waving excitingly to me, his usual smile on. "I heard you were in the hospital recently?" He questioned as he began examing me, searching for signs of injuries. Good thing I'm wearing a sweater today, I thought and shot him an innocent smile.

"Hide I'm fine, it wasn't THAT serious so will you stop examing me?!" I said a bit annoyed and pushed him away. He gave me a small laugh and took my bag for me. I looked at him in confusion.

"Let me help you with that, no reason to push yourself (Y/N)!" He joked and began walking off. I quickly followed behind him and sighed, there's no reason to try and get it back, he's too determined right now... I rolled my eyes at Hide and decided to let him be. 

We arrived in class and sat down in the back of the room. I looked up at the clock to see that it was only 10 AM. I sighed, this is going to be a long day, I thought and looked out of the window. 

~ Time skip to 2:40 PM ~

The class had just ended as Hide and I was walking down the hallway, chatting with each other as always. I can't wait to get home to--

"Kaneki!?" I heard someone yell from the other end of the hallway. I turned my head slightly and looked back to see a man searching through the hallway, calling out Kaneki's name. He had orange hair and was wearing glasses. He had a rather angry look on his face as he walked through the crowd, pushing those aside who didn't move on their own. "Show yourself!" He said in a raised voice as Hide and I had stopped up, looking at him with widened eyes. I moved aside for him to pass by, but just as he passed me he stopped and looked back at me and Hide. 

"Nishiki? What are you doing?" Hide asked and glared at him, standing in front of me. Nishiki looked at Hide and then at me. 

"... Who's your friend?" Nishiki asked as he kept looking at me, I just looked back at him. Where have I seen him before..?

"My name is (Y/N)." I introduced myself before Hide could. Nishiki looked at me a little longer, then turned his attention back to Hide. Wait, Nishiki works at Anteiku doesn't he? And that means... My eyes widen a bit as I quickly looked away from them and took my bag from Hide. "I'm gonna head off alone today, see you tomorrow Hide!" I smiled at them and peacefully walked away, pretending that nothing was wrong. I could feel their stares on my back but I just kept walking, now I really wanna get home.
