My Precious [Kaneki x Reader]

Chapter 26 - Confusion

(Y/N) POV:

"Mommy! S-Slow down!!" Yuki called out from behind me as I ran down the street holding her hand. One could say that I was practically dragging her after me. I didn't answer, nor did I slow down. Gotta get her out of here... I thought to myself as I tightened my grip on her hand and turned towards the train station. 

"M-Mom! Watch out!" I looked back at Yuki in confusion as she quickly pointed in front of us. I immediately turned my head and looked right in front of me only to catch a glimpse of something green before slamming into it. "Mommy!? Are you okay!?" Yuki panicked behind me as I laid with my face to the ground. What... Happened..? I slowly sat up as Yuki stared at me worriedly at me. 

"I'm sorry... I didn't look where I was going--?!" A woman with long, messy, green hair and green eyes said as she began to pick up the things she dropped. 

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't look either! It's my fault for running like that when I wasn't looking!!" I apologized to her and bowed my head as Yuki quickly did the same. I then quickly helped her with picking her things up, there was an awful lot of books. 

"M-Mom! That's Sen Takatsuki!" Yuki cheered behind me and ran up to her, gazing excitingly at her. The woman just tilted her head slightly to left and gave Yuki a troubled smile. 

"Guilty..!" Sen Takatsuki chuckled and picked up another book and showed it to Yuki. "You know this one?" She asked as Yuki quickly nodded with excitement.

"That's one of my favorites!" Yuki said and looked at the book as Takatsuki pulled out a pen and opened the book.

"What's your name sweety?" She asked and looked up at Yuki with kind eyes. 

"I'm Yuki!" Yuki cheered and watched as Takatsuki nodded with a smile, signing the book and handing it to Yuki. Yuki took it as squealed in happiness as she opened it and saw the autograph. "Thank you so much, Miss Takatsuki!!" Yuki then quickly turned around and showed me the autograph as I just sat there on the ground and looked at them. What..? What's going on..? I blinked a couple of times as I then looked at the book, 'To the lovely miss Yuki! I wish you good luck in the future, sincerely Sen Takatsuki!' 

I then looked at Takatsuki as I realized we were still sitting on the ground. What were we doing..? Where were we going... I slowly stood up and put my hand out to Takatsuki and helped her up.

"I'm still very sorry for running into you like that... Are you okay?" I asked and looked at her as she just continued to smile. 

"It's nothing (Y/N)! Don't worry, plus! I got to meet my biggest fan here!" Takatsuki smiled and pated Yuki on her head. My heart seemed to stop for a moment, stop... Don't touch her... I unintentionally glared at Takatsuki as she and Yuki just chatted we each other, not paying any attention to me. Takatsuki then suddenly brightened up as she excitingly turned to me with a big, kind smile.

"Idea~!! Why don't we go grab a cup of coffee somewhere? Oh! I know the perfect spot!" Takatsuki smiled and looked down at Yuki. But it's night..? All the shops and cafes closed a long time ago... Yuki quickly agreed and looked at me with hopeful eyes. I don't trust her... Sen Takatsuki... W-Who are you? 

"Please mommy!!" Yuki pleaded and threw herself at my feet, asking for my permission. 

"I... Uh, y-yeah... I think we have some time to spare... I don't really remember what we were doing up till just a moment ago... Must have hit my head harder on the ground than I thought!" I laughed and took hold of Yuki's hand as we walked with Takatsuki to a nearby cafe. But... Something about this doesn't feel right...
