Part Six

ANGST WARNING:
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN TOKYO GHOUL AND DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED, STOP READING NOW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Hide then looked at Kaneki, grabbing his shoulder again.

"Let's go home..." He said softly. Kaneki watched, slowly realizing what was happening, and his eyes widened slightly. Hide's grip then tightened on his shoulder as he trembled.

"Let's go home..." He repeated, then slowly faded out of consciousness with his hand sliding off Kaneki's shoulder. Kaneki had a single tear fall from his eye, as (Y/N) closed her eyes, silently sobbing. Everything got darker around them as the two sat there, feeling their hearts shatter.

Kaneki got up, picked up Hide, and looked at (Y/N), motioning for her to follow, so she got up, and they left.
Anteiku slowly fell apart, as was on fire now.

Kaneki started walking away from Anteiku, Hide in his arms and (Y/N) by his side.

Touka watched from a distance, only realizing what had happened as she saw Hide in Kaneki's arms, and a very upset, even depressed (Y/N) by his side.

Kaneki continued walking with (Y/N), walking past the CCG members and further on. He kept Hide close to him, occasionally looking down at him. After what seemed like forever, they reached a massive group of CCG members, mixed with Aogiri Tree members.

(Y/N) looked at Kaneki, tear streaks on her cheeks, as well as tears still sliding down. He looked at her, then all of the people around them before kneeling down and very gently lying Hide on the ground.

He then stood up again, only to feel someone hugging him. He looked down, and watched (Y/N) hug him, burying her face in his chest as she sobbed her heart out. With that, Kaneki hugged his other best friend close to him, stroking her hair gently and let a few of his own tears fall.

And even as Hide had left, his life having bled out of the wound in his stomach, as Hide had fallen off the face of the earth to never come back, even as Kaneki and (Y/N) were slowly breaking because of it, they both knew that Hide was now free, as a bird, calling to them. They had lost Hide, but he had gained something himself - the wings of a bird to fly freely for eternity until they joined him.
