Exploding Through Dimensions

Chapter 17: Tokyo Ghoul

"Well unlike the whole damn universe apparently...she happens to be the one person who is blind to it." He exhaustingly raised his hands up. He took a moment to look down at his cup before quietly confessing. "I was going to tell her alright so stop looking at me! But then you idiots decided to slither yourselves in like a couple of annoying slugs!"

"That is no excuse." She sternly wiggled her finger before dramatically waving her hands. "Am I going to have to do everything around here?!" When her voice rose Bakugo's eyes widened as he frantically looked around.

"Keep your damn voice down Pinky!"

"You're unusually quiet today. Even for you." Touka said as she continued to help Kaneki wipe down some of the tables. "Don't tell me it's about those people who came in today." She nodded in their direction.

"I don't know." He softly smiled, glancing down at the table. "I guess... it's been a while since I was able to just have a normal conversation with non-ghouls other than Hide. It feels nice."

"Well, got riddance. We don't need any more of their kind around here anyways." She bitterly spat as she walked off.

"You don't really mean that Touka." Kaneki allowed his eyes to follow her until she stopped walking. "If you did, you wouldn't still be going to school with them or have a friend like Kuroiwa."

"You don't know what you're talking about." She mumbled before she walked back over to the bar just as the front door was slammed open. "Nishiki you're late."

"Well hi to you too Touka." He brushed off the remains of blood on his right shoulder as he looked down in disgust. "Blame it on that damn ghoul that tried attacking these five humans I came across earlier. If it weren't for me, they'd be in someone's stomach by now."

"Um Nishiki-"

"Don't really know who they were but I made sure there was nothing left of the guy to find."

"Nishiki!"

"Don't worry I didn't eat them!" Nishiki angrily barked back at Touka while Kaneki shook her head and Yomo who was still observing everything from his spot by the bar frustratingly covered his face. Once Nishiki realized they weren't alone he quickly added. "Because that's not how we do things here..."

"Idiot." Touka irritatingly spat. You could have heard a pin drop if it weren't for the slow sound of scraping chairs.

"No? Not convincing? Alright." Shrugging his shoulders Nishiki waved before casually walking towards the back to prepare for work like he hadn't just blow their secret.

"Um..." Vigorously snapping his head from where Nishiki stood only seconds ago, Kaneki's gulping was the only other sound that could be heard now.

"So, this was nice." Mina forcibly grinned as she along with the others quickly placed their money down on the counter and began slowly heading for the door.

"You don't have to worry about that." Kaneki tried to reassure them that they really didn't mean them any harm as he took a step forward. "Mr. Yoshimura said it was on the house."

"Yeah I bet." Bakugo glared right before opening the door in hopes of rushing out but had to stop when his friends beat him to it while slightly pushing him aside. "The hell?!"

"Not good." Kaneki worriedly looked over his shoulder to see Touka already making a beeline for the door.

"Not this again!" Mina cried as they began sprinting away, giving Zenitsu a run for his money. "Kaminari?!"

"I'm trying I'm trying!" he quickly tried getting his quirk to work as they turned a corner.
