Entangled Strings

"Well, that confirms my suspicions." The man answered. "Thank you or your information."

"It's part of the deal, no need to thank me."

Kaneki nodded as he left the small alley. "If you could find more information about that organisation, it would be very helpful and also, try not to get caught."  He warned.

Touka sighed in relief as she and Ayato finally arrived at their apartment. The siblings took off their jackets and collapsed on the couch.

"That the hell is with that old man?" Ayato grumbled. "Maybe his age finally caught up to him."

"Thanks to that old man, we are able to live undisturbed!" Touka reminded him.

The boy ignored his sister and turned on the TV. 'Another body of a CCG officer has been found in the 11th ward. People are getting worried that...'

Ayato quickly zapped to another channel.

'Try our new pocky with caramel flavour!'

He zapped again.

'And this concludes this match in a draw!'

And again.

'Buy one now and get the second one for free! Only for...'

And again.

'ONE OK ROCK will hold a concert in Tokyo, on the 15th of February! Buy your ticket now, before...'

And agai...

"Stick to one fucking channel!" Touka yelled angrily as she tried to focus on her homework.

The boy shot a glare to his sister, but did as she said. There was nothing to see anyway, so better to listen to some Japanese rock band.

After hours of cramping and trying to understand her homework, Touka decided that she had enough for today. She went towards the kitchen to make some coffee, only to find nothing. "Ayato, did you get more coffee yesterday, like I asked you?"

"You didn't ask me anything like that, stupid! Besides, I was out most of the time!"

Touka growled as she stared out of the window, looking dreadfully at the pouring rain. "Fuck!"

Knowing that her brother was in no mood to go out and mingle with humans for today, not even for the only thing they could drink, she grabbed a raincoat and put on her shoes again. "I'll be right back, don't even dare to try anything, you hear me?"

"Tche, as if I would want to do anything in this shitty weather." The boy answered and continued to watch television.

What Touka hated the most about winter season was the cold. Snow, rain and that annoying feeling of needles piercing your skin repeatedly whenever a gust of wind blew in your face. Which is why her mood worsened when she noticed that it began to pour even harder.

"It will definitely snow tomorrow..." The teen mumbled in disgust.

The girl opened her umbrella and quickly ran through the streets on her way to the store.

She sighed in relief when she finally entered the building and a wave of warmth hit her body. She closed her umbrella and took off her hood. She quickly rubbed her hands together and breathed on them repeatedly, hoping for them to warm up.

"Who would have thought that we'd meet again so soon?"

The blue-haired girl looked up to see the strange white-haired ghoul from before. "... Kaneki... Right?"
