Stuck between worlds (Tokyo ghoul fanfic) [Book One]

Chapter 16

I rolled over and Arima was still sleeping next to me and I freaked out. 'Why am I sleeping with him again? and why is my shirt off?' I sat up on his bed 'Jeez I got drunk off of like 4 glasses of champagne and I smell like shit' A huge headache came over me 'And now the hangover begins' I climb out of his bed and I fell over a few time well just about before I made it to my room down the hall. I walked to bathroom and got in the shower to try and get the stench off of me. I let out a yelp when I enter the shower but I was fine after a while. I got into my uniform and made my way down stairs and Arima was sitting there

"Morning sunshine" HE said with his stupid smile "Why did you let me drink 4 glasses of champagne for the second time of drinking?" I yell at him "You're a big girl. I cant control your life" He says giving me a drink "But you should know I don't drink. Speaking about drinking what is this" I pick up the glass "Its something for this hangover I think you have" He said "I don't have a hangover" I walk over to him "Sure my love. Just drink the drink Yasha" he passed me the drink "Fine but you owe me later" I drink the drink . I feel like vomiting "What the hell was in that?" I yell at him "You don't want to know" I punch him "I hate you so much." I say and he laughs "You know you love me" He walks out of kitchen and in the lounge room. I made myself some toast then made my way to the lounge room "See I'm alright Arima san" I trip over the floor and he comes over and catches me "The position we're in says differently, Oh everytime you call me 'Arima san' I'll kiss you in front of people" I look at him "You can put me down and what could you like me to call you then?" he stands me up straight "Arima, My love, Anything along those lines." I look at him "You couldn't be anymore full of yourself could you" I say sitting on the couch "Only the best for you my love" He kissed me on the lips "I' dropping you off at the café and you can spend a while there but I want you to call me when you want to be picked up" he said "Alright Arima" he picked me up "Arima put me down!" I yell "Why do you always pick me up lately" I ask "OK one no and two, I love you so much plus you have a tendency to hurt yourself lately" He walked out to the car "Ok I know you love me lover boy but, tone it down a little" He sits me in the car and walks over to his side and starts the car and drops me off at Anteiku I lean over and kiss him "Leaving you is always the hardest thing to do" "I love you too" He said as I left the car "See you later My love" I say and walk into the café.

I took a seat at the bar. It was empty because it was early "Morning Natsumi san" I look up and its Irimi "Oh hello Irimi san. Good morning to you too" I smile at her "What may I get you today?" she asked "A latte no sugar please" I say "Coming right up." she walked to grab some coffee beans "So Natsumi how have you been lately? After everything that's happened I think you should spend some time with friends and family" She said pouring the hot water over the coffee beans "I lost my family to the CCG then to ghoul when I was a child but I spent the night with my boyfriend and some work friends and I ended up getting drunk and apparently I'm a weird drunk" she chuckled "I'm sorry about your families but its sounds like you had a good night" she placed the coffee in front of me "Thank you Irimi san" I took a sip of the coffee "How do you make such amazing coffee here?" I look at her "Well Yoshimura taught us that coffee is filled with love and without it, coffee isn't coffee. 'Even the cheapest coffee beans can be taste amazing if made with love but even the more expensive beans can taste horrible' he said that to all of us when we first started" she wipes down the bench "That's really beautiful" I took another sip "It was and that's why I love working here" "I understand why. May I ask what its like to be a ghoul?" she looked over at me "Any reason why?" I shook my head "No reason" she turns back "Well its hard for us to live with humans but we manage. When I was younger here in the 20th I was reckless and ruthless but after the doves came in and took back the ward after they killed the Queen on the 20th ward the 'Flower queen' we all became scared and Yoshimura asked Koma and I to work with him and we didn't want to, to start with but we came to not hate each other and became friends. but that's beside the point. Being a ghoul doesn't have perks except the kagunes and little things like that but its hell" "I'm sorry to hear that. I never want that to happen to any ghoul" "Don't apologise for things you haven't done" she says taking my cup to wash it "But I'm part of the blame." She lifts my head up "No you're not" "Hey Irimi can I tell you something?" I ask her "Of course Natsumi san" She looked at me "I'm a semi ghoul" she looks at me "Pardon?" "I was raised by the flower queen and was injected with RC cells and well I heal with human flesh have a kakugan and kagune but I don't know how to release them" Her mouth was open "I knew something about you was off and you had a familiar smell but, I wouldn't ever thought of this" She came over and gave me a hug "I wont tell anyone" She says "Thank you Irimi san, It was nice bonding with you but I have to go for work. Tell Hinami I said hi" I pull out my phone and text Arima "Thank you for the coffee" I smile at her "Anytime Natsumi san"

I wait outside for Arima and he picks me up "Yasha you look said" HE said "I feel like I need to go to the Cochlea today but I feel like I need something to protect me" He looked at me "That's weird but ok. I heard Amon and Akira are going there to talk to an prisoner and I think I have a spare quinque you can have" he dives off to the 23rd ward and I get out of the car and Arima grabs a quinque out "This is the Flower queen's. Quite powerful and is a shield type with an sword" he passes it to me "Are you sure Arima?" I look at him "Of course My love." I saw Amon and Akira and walk over to them "Hey Amon. Hey Akira" they look over at me "Oh hello Yasha. How'd your morning go?" She asked "Found myself shirtless next to Arima, still have to ask him about that but fine" SHe giggles "OK that's interesting. So why did you decide to come here today?" "Well I had a feeling that I needed to be here today so I followed my instinct and Arima gave me this quinque in case anything went wrong" I lift up the case "Wonderful Natsumi, Do you want to stick around with us or your boyfriend?" Amon asked "Well my boyfriend is leaving to do some of his work so yeah I'm chilling with you" I say walking next to him "So why are you two here" I ask "We need information on some ghouls so we came to ask someone here" Akira said and her sternness returns "Well I hope you find what you need but I would keep your guard up" I say and they nod then I hear some sirens blaring "Oh great my gut was right" Algiri was getting some more members from here
