Okay, here's the actual story. Yay!

"A-Ah, uh, I- GULH!" Hide's hands instinctively wrapped around Kaneki's, trying to pull them off of his throat, "A-Ah, K-Kaneki, Kaneki, that hurts, sto-stop it, w-we're all safe n-now, c-calm down!" Hide choked out, but Kaneki didn't let up. The Anteiku members tried to pull Kaneki off of Hide but failed. {I don't know how, considering therE ARE LIKE FIFTY OF THEM.}

"WHY ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR CHAIR, HIDE?" Kaneki repeated demonically, "WHERE ARE YOUR CENTIPEDES? WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE CLOTHES FROM? YOU'RE BREAKING SO MANY RULES RIGHT NOW, HIDE."

"K-Kaneki! Th-Those rules aren't-" Hide hacked, "They're inv-valid! Your Master i-is dead! No more rules, no m-more pain! Please, K-Kaneki! Please stop ch-choking me!"

"Bad bad bad baaaad, Hide, don't break rules, I have to punish you now, Hide," Kaneki's hand trailed to Hide's nether regions, and Kaneki slid his hand into Hide's pants.

"Ah! N-No, Kaneki, n-nah-" Kaneki admired the bruises on Hide's neck while his finger pierced Hide's a**hole. "Aannhh.. st-stop.. St-Stop, Kaneki..." Kaneki put his kagune in beside his finger. "I-It hu-hurts.."

"Good. This is a punishment after all. Where are my centipedes?" Kaneki looked around, but he blinked when he was in unfamiliar territory.

Actually..

This wasn't unfamiliar territory at all, was it?

"An..teiku..?" he looked at the people trying to pull him off, "Touka-chan..? Yoshimura-san..? Nishio-senpai..? Yomo-san..? Hinami-chan? Irimi-san, Koma-san? Daichi? Kuki? Mizu? Kasai? Hakai? Jiko? Hidei? What..?"

"That's not my f*cking name, Kaneki!" Hidei growled, "It's Ryou! Ryou Itsuwaru! Say it, you b*st*rd!" Ryou's kagune sneaked out and started pushing with him. The other six followed.

"Ry.. What are you talking about, Hidei? I've told you not to deny the truth. You're breaking even more rules than Hide!"

"My name is Reidon, you little f*cker! Say my name!" Hakai snarled.

"My name is Kenta, you psychopath! Say it! Kenta!" Jiko growled.

"My name is Michi, you little b*tch! Say my name!" Kasai yelled.

"My name is Shun, you a**hole! Say it! Say Shun!" Daichi shouted.

"My name is Hiroshi! Say it, you sex-crazed lunatic! Hi-ro-shi!" Kuki argued.

"My name's Takumi, you jerk! Say it! Say my name!" Mizu demanded.

"Wh-What? Y-B-Yo-Br-! S-St-Stop breaking rules! M-Master will get angry! -- WHO SAID THAT?!!"

"Kaneki! Kaneki, please, you have to calm down!" Hide cupped Kaneki's cheeks into his palms, "It's okay. Okay? Everything's okay. You don't have to follow those rules anymore. Okay?"

"B-But.. But my Master.."

"Your Master is dead, Kaneki."

"But.. the Master.."

"You can think for yourself now, Kaneki. You don't have a Master anymore."

"B-But! But I don't know how to do that!!"

"? Yes, you do, Kaneki. You used to, before that guy kidnapped you, remember?"

"B-But.. But I don't know.. ho-how to do that anymore.."

An idea popped into Hide's head, "How about this then, Kaneki- Since I'm the one who killed your Master, I'm your new Master. That works, doesn't it? That makes sense, right?"

"Oh.. Y-Yea, I guess.. So.. So you're.. my new.. Master?"

"Yup. So you better do what I say, and I command you not to enforce Rules. Okay?"

"...Um..okay.."

"Great!"

'Okay, now we just have to get Kaneki to slowly integrate back into his normal life.. Eventually, he should be able to think for himself again..' Hide thought.

"S-So.. wh..what should I do..?"

"Hm? Ah, uh.. Let's see.. For now, why don't you just calm down, and uh-" Hide froze, awkwardly/nervously smiling when he saw the seven's expressions. "O-Okay, Kaneki, from now on, I want you to have specific names for people, okay?"

"? Like what, Master?"

-u-'

"L-Like, I want you to call me Hide."

"But that's impolite, Master."

"But I want you to call me Hide. So."

"...A-Alright.. Ma-er.. Hi..Hide.."

"Great! Now, let's look at your friends then. This is Touka-chan, this is Hinami-chan, Yomo-san, Irimi-san, Koma-san, Nishio-senpai, and Yoshimura-san," Hide went through the workers of Anteiku, pointing to each one as he said their name. "Do you got all that?"

"...Y-Yeah.." Kaneki nodded.

"Okay, great! Then, we have your other friends," Hide got horrible glares from the seven for that term, "Here is Ryou, that's Kenta, this is Reidon, then you have Michi, and Shun, and Hiroshi, and finally, Takumi," Hide gestured to each of the seven as he named them. "Right?"

Truth be told, Hide himself had been reprimanded many times last night over calling them their names given to them from Kaneki. So by now, he had the names practically branded into his mind.

"U-Uh, what? M-Hide?"

"Okay, I'll go slower this time. Repeat after me, Ryou. You used to call him Hidei."

"R-Ryou.."

"Kenta. You used to call him Jiko."

"K-Kenta.."

"Reidon. You used to call him Hakai."

"Rei..don.."

"Yup. Then we have Shun. You used to call him Daichi."

"Shu..n.."

"And here is Michi. You used to call him Kasai."

"Mi..chi.."

"Yup! And here we have Hiroshi. You used to call him Kuki."

"H-Hi..roshi?"

"Yup! And finally, here is Takumi. You used to call him Mizu."

"Ta..ku..mi?"

"Yup! Great. So, just call them that, and-"

"How about he calls us Ryou-SAMA. It'll be payment for what he did. Punishment, as you would say," Ryou smirked.

"Now, Ryou, he doesn't have to add -sama," Hide scolded.

Ryou scoffed, "Like you're the boss of me?"

"Dude, you know I got you out of a lot of trouble."

"Stop acting like you're my guardian."

"That wasn't my intention."

"U-Um, Ma-Hide?"

"Yes, Kaneki?" Hide looked at him.

"... Can I call you Hide-sama?"

.

.

.

"No."

"..." Kaneki looked down. Presumably in shame. "A-Are there any other r-rules I sh-should know, Ma-Hide?"

"Eh, I don't know. I'll come up with them as I go along. Oh! But no killing. Or torturing. Or any of the sort. You got that, Kaneki?" Kaneki frowned.

"But then who will follow you under my lead?"

"Nobody, Kaneki. The only person I want to be a Master to is you. Okay? And as for the seven, they have graduated your class. Okay?"

Ryou snorted, "'Class.' You're an a**, you know that?"

"You shouldn't speak to Ma-Hide like that.." Kaneki gave a deadly cold glare to Ryou, sick of him insulting his Master.

"Now, now, both of you, cool down. Now. You do not have to have subordinates, okay, Kaneki? So no killing, no torturing, none of that. Okay?"

"..." Kaneki frowned but nodded. "So.. will I eat suicide victims like I used to? Or will I eat off of you, Maste-Hide?"

"... Let's give you suicide victims. Alright then, now that that's settled," Hide stood up and stretched. "_I_ have business to attend to."

"? What business?"

"Well, Mado-san'll have a fit about me being a ghoul and running like an outcast with a bunch of ghouls, most of which were very well known, dangerous ghouls. So, better to solve that sooner rather than later because otherwise, I will not be able to live my life as a human. Mado-san would be on my a** if I don't go to the CCG, I tell you!"

"B-But you're a ghoul now, Hide!!"

"Yea, so. Anyway, hopefully I'll come back in one, whole, living and loving piece. If not, Kaneki, I declare Yoshimura-san as your new Master."

"Wha-?!! Hide!!"

"See ya," Hide waved as he left the place.

Touka and Nishiki exchanged glances. "There's no stopping him."

"HIDE, DON'T GO!!!" Kaneki rushed after him, but Hidei grabbed his arm.

"We. Are not. Finished. With. You."

And wow I have finished my weekly update before the day has even really started, but it's after midnight, so it counts.

I had no idea this goal of updating weekly was so achievable. Is it because I'm on break? Maybe I should change it to once a day.. And then if my mom makes plans, and I'm unable to update, oh well. Plenty of people have gone out of whack in their updates, and I'm new to this whole 'update schedule' thing. I've always been out of whack with that.
