Hide and touka entered the pet shop with Kaneki resting against Hide's chest.
"I'll go look for cat food, you go look for a collar and a cage since he is your cat" Touka said whilst going down the isle to the left.
"Oh ok" Hide said spinning around trying to see which isle has collars and cages.
He raised Kaneki a bit so they where eye level with eachother and he sighed.
"What colour collar do you want mr?" He said.
Kaneki just plainly started at him. It's not like he can respond.
"Black? Red? Pink? Any colour?" Hide was talking to Kaneki like he expected to get a response.
"Mm...hold on" Hide places Kaneki back onto his chest and walked over to the worker sitting behind the till.
"Hey, umm excuse me?" Hide said quietly.
"Yes dear?" The elderly lady looked up from her book and smiled at the ginger haired boy.
"Um, what colour collar do you think will suit my cat Kaneki?" Hide said holding him out to show the lady.
The lady looked a bit startled as hide held Kaneki like simba from the lion king.
"Maybe a dark colour would suit him since hes such a white little kitty isnt he?" The older lady said stroking Kaneki on the cheek.
"Thanks" Hide said with a smile.
He put Kaneki back onto this chest and ran over to the isle that seemed to be full of collars.
Hide tried to find a black one with Kaneki's name on it but obviously they didnt have one.
"Hey Hide!" Touka said making her way back towards him holding a bag of cat food and two bowls one inside the other. "I picked a food and water bowl for him as well so you dont have to use they nasty ashtray anymore"
"Oh right, thanks" Hide said still looking at the black collars. "Hey touka?"
"Mm?"
"Which one?" Hide held two collars in one hand. One black with metal spikes on it and the other with cat paws printed on to it.
"The hell? Do you want him to be in a rock band or something? Put that one back and take the one with the cat paws" Touka said flicking Hide on the forehead.
"Hey! I thought he'd want to look cool thank you very much" Hide said with a pout.
The two teens looked at Kaneki and giggled a little.
Hide and touka both went to go pick a cage together and they decided on a white and grey one that came with a little cushion inside for Kaneki to sleep on. Once they where done they walked over to the elderly lady from before and placed everything on the counter.
"You two are such a cute couple y'know" they lady said whilst scanning their items.
Both of their faces turned bright red as touka waved her hands in front of her and hide just looked down and Kaneki.
"Yeah no, we're not a couple" Touka laughed nervously. She poked hide in the cheek whilst looking at the old lady "you see, this ones a big gay and a weirdo so hes off my list" She said.
The ladies eyes widened. "Oh my I'm so sorry to assume such things" She apologised.
"N-no it's fine" Hide said embarrassed.
"Anyway, take care of the little one and stay safe you two. Come back soon" The older lady said with a smile.
"Thank you and we will" They said in unison.
As they walked out the store the placed everything on the ground and opened the cage. The put the pillow in place and put Kaneki inside it.
"He dun look very happy" Touka said tilting her head to the side.
"Maybe her just ain't used to it" Hide said, lifting the cage by its handle. "Come on we gotta get back so we can sort all this stuff out"
"Mm, yeah"
~~~~~
Once the two returned back to Hides house, they had filled the cat bowls and cleared a space for the cage. Hide decided he wanted it in his room so he can keep Kaneki close. Touka thought that he was being a softie.
They let Kaneki roam around a bit in Hides house so he can get used to the surroundings. Hide kept plopping kaneki on the carpet telling him to explore it like it was a jungle on something. Touka hit hide in the head telling him to leave the poor thing alone.
After a Hide made food for the three of then Touka decided she should go home since it was already getting late. She said bye to Hide with a punch in the shoulder and cradled Kaneki before leaving the house.
Hide plopped on his sofa once again and let Kaneki sit on his chest.
"Her punches hurt y'know" He complained.
Kaneki meowed in response.
"You should become human one time and experience it yourself" He said stroking the ball of floof.
Kaneki decided to take a nap on Hides chest whilst Hide just took a bunch of photos of the kitten then sending them to touka to make her jealous.
Hide decided he should get some sleep for today and headed off upstairs with the kitten still sleeping in his arms. Hide placed Kaneki in his cage leaving the cage open just in case Kaneki wanted some water during the night. Hide tucked himself into bed and finally dozed off.
Hide slowly opened his eyes and rolled onto his back, trying to focus hiz vision as it was still blurry as hell. He decided to close them again.
"Good morning kaneki" Hide could feel a slight dip next to him so he put his hand out to the side to try and stroke his new kitten.
Ok. That's a little different. His fur felt a little...off? Maybe he just drooled on it or something. He thought
He turned himself to the side and slowly opened his eyes...
"Kaneki...did you drool or someth-....
WHAT THE FUCK??!!" Hide screamed.
He kicked around in his blanket before falling onto the floor.
"WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU" Hide said pointing at a boy who he had never saw in his life.
The boy was sitting on his bed with nothing on but some pants. He had pure white messy hair that seemed to stick up all over the place. Next to him was the kittens black collar.
"OH HELL NO DID YOU EAT MY CAT??" Hide said standing up.
"KANEKI??? WHERE ARE YOU???" Hide shouted.
The boy followed Hide with his eyes.
What Hide hadn't noticed is that the boy sitting on his bed was different.
Hide spun back around and stared straight into the boys eyes.
"Who. Are. You. And. What. Are. You. Doing. He-" Hide paused. He saw something white fling around behind the boy.
Hide blinked a few times before slowly moving his head behind the boy.
"I-...WHAT?" Hide said grabbing what seemed to be a tail.
"AH!" The boy squealed.
"AHAH SO YOU DO TALK!" Hide said still grabbing hold of the tail.
"P-please let go off m-my tail..." the boy said quietly.
Hide looked at the boy and noticed he also had animal ears that seemed to droop down when he talked.
"No, not until you tell me who you are and where my cat is" Hide said poking him in the chest.
The boy winced.
The white haired male looked around the bed and picked up the collar that belonged to Kaneki.
"Yeah, that's Kanekis collar. Where is he?" Hide said sternly.
The boy pointed at the collar and then pointed back at himself.
"M-me..." He said quietly.
"You?" Hide said back.
"...me..." the boy said.
Hide slowly let go of the boys what seemed to be tail and sat in front of him.
"Yeah, no. I don't think so" Hide said frowning.
The boy pursed his lips and stood up.
Suddenly a white cloud appeared in front of the boy and he disappeared.
"Oh my god I'm going CRAZY!" Hide said smacking his forehead.
And the out of no where, Kaneki had fallen out of the cloud.
Hide just stared at the ball of fur.
...
"Turn back I dare you" he said.
And so the kitten did.
Once again the white haired boy was sitting in front of hide.
"Yeah hold on lemme just call Touka"...
