(A/N): Oh dear, I feel guilty writing this but I enjoyed writing it too xD It was quite fun heh heh. So guys, PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR AN EXTREME OOC TOUKA XD

Sweet as Tequila

Tick, Tick, Tick.

The scribbling of pens could be heard. The summer wind blew from the window where I sat, but my concentration did not waver. I sat writing the last question of my literature exam – the last question of the last exam of the year, to be exact. I hated the subject but after this last exam, I'd be free and I could finally rest, well, until the results come out, that is. There were five minutes left to the bell and I could see that everyone was wrapping up. I wrote the last word of the answer with flair and began checking my answer sheet to see if I missed anything – not that I had enough time to write anything else, though. I felt content with my answers so I wrapped everything up and began to feel the Cheshire cat smile spread across my face as I mused over the thought of summer break. I looked around over to Yoriko and caught her Cheshire cat smile plastered on her face, as well.

Briiiiiiiinnng~

The bell rang and everyone finally let out a sigh of relief. I handed my paper in and was greeted with a huge hug from Yoriko as soon as I turned around. "It's finally over! ~" Yoriko cooed and I just nodded with a wide smile.

We grabbed our belongings and walked outside the entrance door of the school. Groups and bunches of students were gathered here and there. It was what was expected to happen as today was the last day of school. Not only that, but today was the end of our finals, too.

"Nee, Touka-chan~ Let's go to the zoo someday! Just the two of us!" Yoriko pleaded while tugging on my arm. "Alright, alright! We'll go someday during the break, but right now all I wanna do is go home and sleep, sheesh! All those nights, staying up and studying, ugh, I feel so tired." I said dragging my feet.

That's right. Though, I found it easy to learn science and after learning the theory part of math, it was really easy to solve problems, but literature…Ohh, literature…It was terribly tiresome studying for a shit subject like Literature. Sheesh, that kind of subject is only good for shit like him. My mind wanders over to thoughts of him – Kaneki Ken. The thought left a disdainful trail of memories. I wince slightly as I remember his innocent smile. His black hair slowly and painfully turns white and that same smile twists into a frown. His natural and seemingly unharmed nails shroud black from repeated torture. And his warm eyes turn into a cold stare, narrow and impassive. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO.
He is NOT him.

"Touka-chan?"

I snap my head towards Yoriko, immediately removing myself from my thoughts. "A-are you okay?" I nod and give her a smile, a forced one. Yoriko's face settled into a frown but she decided not to go further into the subject. Why can't I just forget him? Why can't I just accept that he's never coming back? Ugh, this is all so frustrating!

We were walking through the crowds when I heard about some gossip that almost everyone was talking about. The words 'Hey, have you heard about the party?' and 'Did you get the invitation text?' seemed to be floating around throughout all the conversations. Yoriko looked at me curiously, but I just shrugged saying that I didn't know anything.

That was when we both got a message from a certain popular guy – Kentaro Eichirou. How in the world did he even get my number?!

YOU are invited to my party.

This party is limited to only a selected number of 12th graders including YOU! So consider yourself lucky

12th June, xxxx

Blue Moon Club

Please keep this message as verification that you were indeed invited to this party.

I frown at the message. This guy sounds real smug. How the hell does he even know me? More importantly, how does he know MY number?! There is no way I'm going to sacrifice my one week of rest just for this party. Yoriko beamed at me and my heart sank. Here we go.
"Touka-chan! Let's go to this party!"
"No."
"Come on, it'll be fun~"
"No."
"Touka-chan~"

I sigh and finally gave in to her pleads. Well, there goes my uninterrupted week of rest.

The sun was already setting and I parted ways with Yoriko. I better hurry up and make it to my shift.

The evening was quite uneventful, just the usual at Anteiku. It was just gloomier without Kaneki. Not only that; but a girl named Roma had replaced him. Even though she's clumsy and really annoying sometimes, I felt that it's way better than having that shitty bastard here.

I sat on my bed looking at the keychain he gave me. Shitty bastard. You could have just given it to me in person…

I groaned as the dreaded day finally came – the friggin' party. Ugh. I stood there awkwardly as Yoriko straightened out my halter neck dark purple dress. The dress showed a bit too much skin to my liking, but to Yoriko, it suited me very well, it seems. The dress only came to just below my knees and I had to wear those freakishly high heels. Yoriko was busy adding the finishing touches to my hair which was held in a side bun with a purple studded clip. I'm pretty sure she would have added a bunch of other ornaments to my hair if I hadn't said I wanted to keep it simple.

Just another light touch of makeup to my face and we were both ready to go. Sheesh, it's been so long since I've worn lipstick, let alone mascara or all that other girly shit. I grab my leather black clutch and look up to Yoriko. She was wearing a cream colored strapless dress, with a red sash wrapped around the top half. Her dress also came up to just her knees and she wore long high-heeled boots. I grin to myself. Wow, she really knows how to dress up.

We hop into the cab and make our way to the nightclub. It was already 10:30, but aren't parties best enjoyed late at night? "I don't even know why I ever agreed to this. All I'm gonna do there is probably eat or drink a cup or two."
"Touka-chan! C'mon, it's the last year of high school; let's just have some fun for once!" I sigh. It can't be helped. Yoriko's not gonna let me go tonight.

We were walking up the stairs of The Blue Moon Club. Muffled sounds of music could be heard coming from inside. We got through security and stood before the door of probably the greatest and worst party of my life.

"Ready?"

We open the doors and there it was. Music blaring in my ears and flashing lights colored green-red-blue-yellow. Who knew this guy could rent this club for his party?! "C'mon! Let's go, Touka-chan!" Yoriko squealed in excitement. Before I could stop her, she grasped my hand and pushed through the huge mass of sweaty teenagers. Yuck.

I've been nudged by way too many sweaty bodies for my taste. "Let's go grab a drink!" Yoriko shouted but I couldn't hear a single thing through the music blaring. "Huh?!" She just shook her head and made her way to the bar. She says something to the bartender but I couldn't hear anything. Oh dear God, is she ordering something alcoholic?!

Yoriko hands me a cup and takes one herself. "Don't worry, it's non-alcoholic." Even though she said that, something about her look seemed off. I stare inside the shot glass. I couldn't really tell the color due to the flashing lights and all I could see were some ice cubes floating on it. To hell with it. I drank its contents and felt the liquid burn down my throat. I gasp. "What was that?!" Yoriko winked and handed me another shot of this non-alcoholic drink. I could feel every drop leave a flaring trail from the tip of my tongue, down my throat and finally inside my belly. To be honest, the kick was amazing. I have never felt anything like this.

I was desperate to find out what it was and I was already downing my fifth shot when Yoriko finally decided to confess what the drink was, to my despair. "It's Tequila," the girl muttered, slightly wincing from my reaction. "What?!" I gasped and got up from my chair immediately, but my feet failed me. Whoa, head spin. I felt way too dizzy to be standing, let alone walking. I held on to the bar stool and felt woozy. "I'm really sorry, Touka-chan. It's just that you were really depressed and I wanted you to just have some fun once in a while. Ever since, your boyfriend—" "He's NOT my boyfriend!" "Ever since, that guy left, you were really out of it, so I just wanted to help you…"

I didn't bother listening to Yoriko after that, my focus was wavering from all that alcohol. I try to stand again, only to fall down...or not? Two large hands hold my shoulders, supporting me up. "Ah!" I look behind and see brown eyes staring back at me. Kentaro? "Whoa there, are you alright?" He sat me down on the bar stool and sits on the adjacent one. Yoriko smirks. What the hell is that vixen thinking of now?! "Kentaro-kun~ Even after the exams are over, she's being such a sourpuss. Can you teach her how to have some fun?" I scowl at her but Kentaro took my hands and I suddenly direct my attention towards him.

"Touka-chan, is it? C'mon, let's dance!" My eyes widen at his courage to even ask me that. Not many guys had the balls to approach me because of my usual cold personality. Or is it just easier to ask because I'm drunk? Well…I guess it's not too bad to have some fun once in a while. After all, it's not like Kaneki would ever have the balls to do this. Yosh! I take another shot and take his hands into mine. "Let's dance." Yoriko shows me a thumbs up and mouths the words 'Good Luck!'; her mischievous smirk clearly shown through her innocent smile.

A certain dark figure stood above the roof of the adjacent building to the nightclub. It vanishes in an instant as the wind blew.

I almost forget about my identity as a ghoul. What if something happens which lead to everyone finding out about me? Kentaro notices the discomforted expression on my face as he turns back while taking me to the dance floor. He frowns immediately. "Touka-chan? Are you alright?" he cups my cheeks affectionately and I quickly jerk my face back from his touch. "I-I'm alright! J-just feeling a bit thirsty." I shoot a weak smile at him. He smirks and takes my hand, pulling me back to the bar.

I start to feel light headed upon seeing all the drinks stacked on the showcase behind the counter. The bartender hands us two large colorless drinks with ice cubes floating on top, the white lights overhead the bar helping me identify the color of the drink. Wait, when did he even order?! "C'mon, drink it, it's water." I smile and smell the drink. Smells too sweet to be water. "Kentaro Eichirou-san, are you trying to get me drunk?" He widens his eyes, probably surprised that I found out it was alcoholic. To his surprise, I squeak and laugh out loudly. "Cause it is totally working! ~" I take the whole drink in one swig and snake my arms up to his shoulders. Hmph, if Kaneki were here I bet he'd be jealous~ Heh, to hell with Kaneki. To hell with being a ghoul. I'm here to have some FUN! ~

"Take me away and show me how to have real fun~" I cheekily say, unclasping the clip on my hair letting it flow freely down to my shoulders. Kentaro smirks and takes a sip of vodka, the colorless drink - which I later find out the name of; before obliging. He takes my hand and we are soon on the dance floor where I spot Yoriko having fun with a bunch of other guys on the other side. She waves to me before getting swooped off her feet and giggling like a little school girl. I wave back and laugh at her being carried like that when I notice Kentaro staring at me. I give him a weird look and pat his back. "Is the drink getting to you or something? You're looking at me as if you're looking at a delicious fish fillet!" I laugh as he looks away and blushes.

"It's just that you look so stunning, I can't keep my eyes off you." I'm completely confused. Is he flirting with me?! "I guess you're quite the stalker. How did you know my phone number?" I ask him, shrugging off what he just said. "I asked around." I raised my eyebrows in disbelief. "Okay, I asked Yoriko."
I knew it!

Sean Paul's "Temperature" was blaring in my ears and the alcohol brought out moves that even I didn't know I could pull off. I was literally laughing my ass off; the fun I was having was incomparable, well until that happened.

Kentaro's eyes soon started to turn grey and his hair turned white. My smile dropped as I looked at Kaneki Ken in the eye, or at least at my hallucination of Kaneki Ken in the eye. I wasn't sure whether I was hallucinating because I was drunk or because I missed Kaneki that much, or because of both! If it weren't for the alcohol, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have been able to have said such ridiculous things. "Ken-chan~" Kentaro responded, thinking that 'Ken-chan' was probably some nickname I made for him. There was no way he would have thought I was addressing this to my hallucination of Kaneki Ken!

"Why did you have to leaaavve? ~" Kentaro looked at me puzzled, but I didn't leave him time to respond. "Well, who the fuck cares! I'm having so much fun without you!" Kentaro just smiled awkwardly and didn't mind my ramblings. I threw my head back and shouted as hard as I could – "FUUUUCCCKK KANEKI KEN!" A bunch of cheers were heard afterwards. Clearly they didn't know what the fuck I was going on about, but a bunch of others also shouted the same in their own distorted way.

Kentaro took the chance to slip two shots from a server and handed me one. I gulped it down at one go and felt the liquid burn familiarly down my throat. "Tequila~" I gasped and smirked at him. "Let's go somewhere private, shall we?" Kentaro whispered playfully in my ear and took me away from the sweaty bodies on the dance floor.

He stopped at an unpopulated corner. The music wasn't so loud here and there were only a few people standing around. My supposed hallucination disappeared in thin air and Kentaro reappeared before me. "Touka-chan. Listen, I've always wanted to tell you this…" He took another swig of alcohol from a cup and threw it aside. "I really, really like you. The dress you're in is extremely sexy and I'm very happy that you came to my party." Did he just say what I think he said? My eyes widened. He held my shoulders and dipped in for a kiss. I shifted in his hold. Shit. "K-Kentaro, let me go! N-No!" I freed one of my hands and tried to slap him, but my vision was blurred and I missed completely.

His face tilted and he closed his eyes. I knit my brows together and kneed him right in the jewels. He let out a high-pitched scream, both his hands going to the 'affected area'. At that moment, a black gloved hand tapped him on the shoulder and my eyes widened at the person who was behind Kentaro.

"Kaneki?"

Kentaro turned around only to get punched right in the nose. He was knocked out cold and I gulped as the white haired young man made his way to me. What is he gonna do to me? Punish me or something?

"Tsk, Touka-chan, what the hell have you gotten yourself into?" the man said, his face impassive. He finally had that wretched mask off and he wore black slacks along with a white collared shirt, the first few buttons unbuttoned and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

I grit my teeth. "I'll do whatever the fuck I want! It's none of your fucking business!" I shout at him almost throwing a punch at him. He stopped my fist with his palm and to my surprise, uncurled my fingers and intertwined his with mine. He pulled me closer to him and sniffed slightly. "What the hell is a 17 year old doing with the stench of alcohol all over her?" I scowled at him but he only smiled. I tried to pry my fingers from him but he was too strong. He pulled me to the bar and sat me on one of the stools.

"Here. Drink."

I looked at the cup, slowly inspecting it. "It's water." I drank it cautiously, but surprisingly it was water. He held my hand and squeezed it. "Are you alright?" I nodded, still holding the scowl on my face. I caught him do a ghost of a smirk. Kaneki Ken, are you smirking at me? He grasped my hand and pulled me off my seat. "If you agreed to dance with that snob, then I'm pretty sure you'd agree to dance with me." He smiled at me as he took me to the dance floor.

I saw Yoriko sitting at one of the booths with a few girls and some guys. I guess she was just taking a break. I wish I was there with her, ugh. I focus my gaze back at Kaneki and gasp as he looks at me with dark eyes. They were so intense that even though different colored lights flashed on his face, I couldn't take my gaze off them. I shivered as he pressed my body against him and moved his face closer to my left ear.

I shuddered as I felt his warm breath against my sensitive skin. He holds my hands and slightly moves from side to side – supposedly dancing. I found myself suppressing my laughter at his slow dancing. "Kaneki, this is a club not a friggin' prom dance!" I teased between my laughs. He removes his head from the dip of my neck and frowned at me.
"Talk about ruining the mood."
We both laugh and I find his warm smile coming back.

I didn't even realize that we were even close to a wall until he shoved me against it, pinning both of my arms at either side of my head. He grabs a shot from a server and downs its contents in one go. Whoa, Kaneki is drinking. He dropped the glass and looked at me with those same intense gray eyes as before.

"So…Fuck Kaneki Ken, eh?" he whispered into my ears, his voice was so low but I could still hear the words clearly over the music. I gasp and my face turns several shades of pink. Holy shit, how long has he been in this club?! He even heard me shouting those ridiculous words?!

His arms snaked around my body and his breath gasped around my collarbone, sending shivers down my spine. I swear, he probably would have fucked me right up the wall if it hadn't been for the nauseating feel that was slowly riding up my throat.

"K-Kaneki?"

"Mm?" His voice was husky and I could smell the sweet smell of alcohol.

"I'm going to puke!"

"G-Goddammit, Touka!"
