Part Three

SLIGHT ANGST WARNING FOR THIS PART. GETS WORSE IN FUTURE CHAPTERS, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN TOKYO GHOUL AND DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED, STOP READING NOW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

     Since then, that date that Kaneki went on... It went well until he was walking Rize home. She was secretly a ghoul.
Yep, a ghoul.
Then she tried to kill Kaneki, but ended up getting crushed by something.
Kaneki got injured pretty badly and had to go to the hospital, and also had to get an organ transplant, but the organs he got were Rize's. Now he's got ghoul organs.

(A/N: Forgive me if that's a bad transition, I haven't watched TG in like 2 month and I have bad memory qwq)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Now the CCG had put their top priority as a mission to kill The One-Eyed King. That's exactly what they were going to do.

    Yomo had gotten Touka and Hinami to a safe place while Koma and Kaya stayed at Anteiku to protect it from the CCG. What did The One-Eyed King do? He went and faced the CCG.

    Kaneki stood on the rooftop of a building, watching everything below.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    A drop of blood fell onto the floor as Kaneki winced in pain, snapping out of his daydream.
     Clink
    Kaneki's head quickly turned to the side, looking to where the noise came from.
It sounded like something was being poured...
    Then... Footsteps...?
    He could see a shadow figure, but couldn't make out who it was. The person started walking over to him as he watched, eyes locked on the figure.

    "It's surprisingly hard to make coffee, isn't it?" The figure said, stepping into the light. Kaneki's eyes widened.

    "Yo, Kaneki," Hide said, smiling.

    "Hide..." Kaneki said quietly, staring at his best friend. After a few moments, he realized that his ghoul eye was visible and quickly put his hands over his eye, looking away. Hide looked at Kaneki, then looked down at the floor, frowning. Kaneki held his face, looking away from Hide, hand still over his eye, which was covered in blood.

    "Kaneki... I knew," Hide said confidently, his tone laced with warmth and acceptance. Kaneki looked up slightly.

    "Yeah, I knew." He said again, as a few drops of blood hit the floor. Hide walked over the one of the tables and set the cups down as more drops echoed in the otherwise quaint café.
    "This is lousy. Must not have been ready yet." Hide said as he sat down, picking up one of the cups with coffee. He took a sip, then instantly got a disgusted look on his face.

    "Ugh... Sorry, Kaneki. This one's lousy too." Hide said as he looked at Kaneki, smiling a bit. Kaneki stood there, his hand still over his eye. Hide looked at Kaneki, then down at the coffee.

    "I guess it couldn't be that easy, huh?" Hide said with a light, quiet sigh. As soon as that happened, the figured of a female appeared in the doorway and she walked in, the lights shining on her hair. Hide looked to her as she walked over to the two.

"Yo, (Y/N)." Hide greeted, wrapping an arm around your waist.
"Hey, Hide, Kaneki," She smiled. "Catching up on some things?" She asked. Hide nodded, smiling, then turned back to Kaneki with his arm still wrapped around (Y/N)'s waist.

"Oh, come to think of it, Kaneki, do you remember? The time I got the crap beaten out of me by Mr. Nishio?" Hide asked. Kaneki's eyes widened a bit as (Y/N) frowned, giving a soft squeeze to her lover.

"Yeah, to be honest, I thought I was dead. I tried playing dead to get through it, but that guy shows no mercy." Hide said, glancing toward the floor. He then looked at Kaneki, scratching his head with his free hand, then gave one of his signature grins.

    "Well, I guess it's no use." Hide smiled, then looked out the window.

    "Kaneki... " He looked back inside and down at the floor for a second before looking back up and at Kaneki. "Thanks for going all-out trying to save me back then." Hide said, squeezing (Y/N)'s waist gently as he watched Kaneki. Kaneki closed his eyes, tearing up, then uncovered his ghoul eye, looking at the two.

More blood then dripped onto the floor, making a small splash noise, yet no one acknowledged it.

    "When I looked at the folks of Anteiku," he continued, "I thought, it sure is nice how they're all full of life, huh? And there you were, among them." He said, looking at the bae area, having a bit of a flashback to when they were sitting in Anteiku, drinking coffee, everyone smiling, talking and having a good time. "It kind of felt like (Y/N) and I were the only one's being left out." He said, glancing down again as the flashback slowly faded. "And so I... I decided to do whatever I could." He then looked into his coffee cup. (Y/N) kept close to Hide, listening to every word he said. "But with things finally ending up like this, there wasn't anything I could do on my own, huh?" He said, as Kaneki watched, his blank, expressionless face turning into a slightly surprised one, then into one of regret.
