Arriving at the Swimsuit store, (Y/N) took a deep breath before entering- It'd been a while since she'd been surrounded by so many bright, neon colors.

"Nee~ (Y/N)-y, what d'ya think of this one?" Touka said with a wide grin. She held up a thin panther patterned bikini that had a huge glittering pink bow on it up for (Y/N) to see.

". . .what in the actual name of god is that?" (Y/N) said worriedly.

"What I'll be gifting you for your birthday"

". . ."

". . ."

"You mean what I'll secretly burn after the cake has been cut and the goody-bags handed  out"

Touka sighed "You never live before trying on one of these (Y/N). . ." (Y/N) just sighed back "Well then Touka-nee, you must have lived a lot of 'Life' by now- that boy- Kaneki, right? He like your 'Life'?" Touka gasped "That little twat?! You're going to ship me with that little coconut-for-hair, naive-to-the-core, no-logic, girl-look-alike, nerd-ass-" 

"Yup, that's him"

". . .And you'll be out for my brother I trust?"

"Him? I'd leave him for a chipmunk"

"Sure you would" Touka said, pushing a bunch of clothing articles into a changing stall along (Y/N) "Which color do you think suits me best?" she asked, flipping close the curtains and turning to the variety of swimsuits she'd picked for herself. (Y/N) glared at Touka, then back to her pile of clothes. They were all a deep Violet. Every single one of them. ". . .Purple?" Touka smiled "You know me so well" she said, trying on the first of her pile.

(Y/N)'s eyes- being accustomed to scanning everything around her, trailed to the bluenette's backpack- which was open, and revealed a white rabbit mask laying softly on the heavy amount of schoolbooks. Touka noticed, and took it, placing it on her "Neat right?"

". . .Why does it have a pink wig attached to it?"

"Doves won't figure me out as quickly"

"Doves are stupid. There are ghouls running around with masks that only cover from their chins up to their noses- and yet for some ungodly reason they still can't seem to figure their identities out"

"Do you like it or not Douchebag?"

"It's Hideous. Get yourself another one"

"Say's the broke one"

"-Said the one who'll be paying for a new mask not only for herself but also her broke friend" (Y/N) wiggled her brows, the rest of her face still emotionless. Touka frowned "Go get a job for Fuck's sake" (Y/N) shook her head "that's what I came to do you blithering fool"

"Fine, because I don't have to be a total jerk to you, since your not a total jerk to me- and because I have a heart of gold, we'll go buy your fucking mask" Touka clicked her tongue. (Y/N) gave a light grin "Thank you Nee" Touka shook her head "Just get yourself a suitable Swimsuit First" (Y/N) rolled her eyes. 

Touka was a ghoul, but one could barely see her out as different to a human- such childish things she played at.

(L/N) rammed through the pile, until she found a blue bikini that came with board shorts. After checking the size to make sure it fit, she shrugged, throwing it over her shoulder "that'll do" she said, leaving the pile a mess. "Just because it's blue?" Touka asked, giving her swimsuit to the casher- purple board shorts and surf tops "Because it's not as much sexualized" (Y/N) said ". . .and it's blue"

Touka payed for the pieces, and the two were off once again down the streets of Tokyo. "Uta's place?" Touka asked, stopping before an alleyway. "Hm" (Y/N) gave a nod, leading them to the large room decorated in masks of all kinds. 

A humming came from a not-so-distant table. "(Y/N)~ so nice of you to visit again" the familiar voice chimed, as he lay down his charcoal pencil and blending stump. "What will it be this time?" 

"I need a mask of my own, now that i'm entering  unmarked territories, and Touka desperately needs a new one- the one she has now puts a five-year-old's paper Mache mask to shame" 

Touka squinted, her fists clenched. She hated to show inferiority in front of others. Alone, (Y/N)'s insults were laughable remarks, but embarrassment tinted her pink ears once in front of the tall tattooed ghoul. Uta chuckled, his black and red eyes gleaming over the two.

"Understandable" he said, motioning to two chairs beside him. (Y/N) sat down, letting him take measurements. "Anything you'd like on the mask? anything you like? special to you?" the older male asked, his fingers delicately searching (Y/N)'s skin. "I don't care- just make it so the doves won't find me that easily" 

Uta hummed in response "Perhaps Moons? You love them- I seem to recall" (Y/N) avoided his glance "Doesn't really matter"

"Or a black cross? For you know what. . ."

"I'm not addicted to that sigil- unlike a certain someone. . ." (Y/N) said softly. "Yes, more Iko's thing, no? A tragedy really" he muttered, starting a sketch. Touka furrowed her brows "Tragedy?" she repeated. "Nothing big Touka" (Y/N) muttered. Uta widened his eyes ". . .Oh" he said, catching on "-By the way (Y/N)-chan, since you're here. A Job just came in"

(Y/N)'s eyes narrowed

Already?

"Cool" She said plainly, as Uta finished on Touka "Can you run me over the infos quickly?" Uta smiled "Of course"  he said. "Tou, sorry, could you do me a favor. . ." (L/N) said, looking at her bags. Touka sighed "Fine- you owe me a meal" she said, taking the bags "Don't come back too late" she said opening the door. "I'll be back before dinner, no worries" (Y/N) said, giving Touka a final peace sign before the door shut.

She turned to Uta "So where is he?"

Uta rested his head on his hand, looking at her in amusement "You'd be surprised; 11 ward. . ."

(Y/N)'s eyes widened. Him? That small fluffy boy? Uta's voice rang in her ears

". . .In Aogiri"
