My Precious [Kaneki x Reader]

Chapter 9 - The promise

(Y/N) POV:

I carefully opened the door to my apartment and turned around to look at Nishiki. 

"Thanks for walking me home, but the next time you want to ask me something, just ask okay?" I laughed an innocent laugh and began closing the door. Nishiki then stuck his foot in between the door and the doorframe, so that I couldn't close it. I opened it slightly again and shot him a confused look.

"Not so fast (Y/N)... Let me help you with your scratches, it was my fault after all." He said as he pushed the door open and entered the apartment. I panicked a little inside, good thing Kaneki isn't here... Wait, where is he? I followed Nishiki to the living room, as he had stopped and was looking around him. I tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, but I couldn't really keep my mind together. Kaneki isn't here, what if he left me when I was in school? I wettened a towel and began cleaning my hands with it. Nishiki walked over to me, eyeing me suspiciously as I just kept looking at my hands, avoiding eye-contact.

"(Y/N) I know he was here so you can drop the act." He said and I felt my heart stop for a moment, what am I gonna do? I just kept my mouth shut and kept cleaning my hands from the blood. Nishiki looked at my hands too as he continued: "Where is he now?" I finally looked up at him, feeling kinda empty inside.

"I don't know." Was all I said and then looked back down at my hands. My heart ached and I felt like crying. I'm alone again... He left me, again... Nishiki observed me for a moment, then sighed.

"I'm sorry for doing this (Y/N)." He then whispered as he grabbed my wrist. I looked at his hand on my wrist in confusion. 

"What are y--" I began but Nishiki quickly cut me off as he put his other hand on my neck, pushing me into the wall, hard. At the very moment, blue flashed throughout the room as he used his kagune to destroy the vase that was standing on the counter. He then let go of my neck as I fell down on my knees, coughing a bit. My knees now hurt even more than before when he had thrown me onto the ground. Nishiki then sat down in front of me, his kagune wrapped around his leg. 

"I'll ask you one more time (Y/N)," Nishiki put his hand on my chin, forcing me to look up at him. "Where is Kaneki." I slowly shook my head as tears began to roll down my cheeks. I then heard my bedroom door flung open as I saw something red fly through the apartment, wrapping itself around Nishiki's neck, forcefully pulling him away from me as it sent him flying into the wall in the other end of the room. 

I snapped my head up and looked in the direction of my bedroom. Then another red tentacle leaped out of my bedroom and joined the other one, in holding down Nishiki. I slowly raised to my feet as my knees kept hurting. Just as I was about to walk to the bedroom, Kaneki came walking out, his attention on Nishiki. My heart leaped in relief as Kaneki shot me a look of concern, eyeing my condition. 

I put my hand out to him and gave him a relieved smile. "Kaneki..." I whispered as he walked over to me and put his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him. He turned his attention back to Nishiki, who struggled a bit to get free of Kaneki's kagune. Kaneki's face held no emotion as he glared at Nishiki and wrapped his other two tentacles around me in a protecting manner. His kagune didn't touch me though, but it was very close. 

"What did he do to you..?" Kaneki asked as he took my hand in his and inspected it, seeing the blood of course and then looked at my knees, which were shaking a bit. Kaneki narrowed his brows and glared daggers at Nishiki. Before I could say anything, Nishiki interrupted as he gasped a little from the tentacle around his neck. 

"All I did was to lure you out and it seemed to work.." Nishiki said as he quickly used his kagune to break free from Kaneki's. Nishiki slowly stood up, keeping his guard up as Kaneki returned the two tentacles back to us. I looked at Nishiki for a moment then up at Kaneki, they both looked rather irritated now. I rubbed Kaneki's hand a bit, letting him know that I'm okay and I'm right here at his side. Kaneki looked down at me for a second, then back at Nishiki.
