Twisted Wishes

Coffee Shop

_________2 years later_________

Kaneki methodically wiped his rag on the dirty table. It had been a few years since he and Hinami awoke in the cold. After finding "food", a rather unfortunate individual who seemed to have committed suicide, to appease their hunger, Kaneki and Hinami made their way out of the frozen forest. They managed to find civilization, and luck was on their side as they could understand the local language. The dialect was different, but still understandable, so Kaneki set to learning about their knew home as Hinami waited outside, begging for money. Neither of them wanted to do so, but it was their only chance at earning money before Kaneki could acquire the proper paperwork and a job. Kaneki had concluded that he and Hinami were in a different dimension or an alternate realty or universe. This was quite obvious do to the lack news regarding ghouls.

Kakashi and Hinami traveled the world on search for familiarity or answers. The duo had landed on this strange Earth in a place called Aokigahara, or Suicide Forest. Kaneki had found a recent victim and he had scavenged it for them.

But now they were in Manhattan. A city full of crime, and apparently, superheroes. Kaneki was startled from his thoughts when a beautiful woman with red hair bumped into him. She immediately turned and an apology shot out of her mouth as she rushed off with her coffee cup and phone in hand. Staring after her, he couldn't help but feel as though he had seen her somewhere before. Shaking his head the white haired man went back to work. He was employed at a small coffee shop in the middle of the city. Dressed in his employee uniform, he made coffee, served coffee, and cleaned the tables.

"Kaneki, your shift is over go home already!!" his boss called out exasperated.

"Fine, don't accept free labour!" Kaneki jokingly called back. Sighing, he headed into the break room to grab his bag and hang up his apron before he left. The short walk to the apartment that he shared with Hinami was uneventful, save for a small dog trying to attack him again. When he arrived at his home, he was greeted with a warm smile .

"Onii-san!! Welcome home!! How was work?" Hinami spoke quickly.

"Good. Anything interesting happen today?"

"Nope!" She exclaimed, popping the 'p'.

Toeing off his shoes and setting down his bag, Kaneki walked into the kitchen to "make" dinner. After completing the simple task thawing and cutting meat for Hinami, he set the table and sat down with her. He had just taken a few bites of a thick thigh muscle on his plate when the front door burst open.

"Freeze, put your hands in the air, you're under-" the mans loud voice choked off as he saw just exactly what they where doing, or rather, eating. Hinami was frozen in place behind Kaneki with a piece of flesh halfway to her lips and blood dripping down her chin. Her kakugan stared at the stunned humans pointing pistols at them. Turning around Kaneki got a good look at the man and his partner. He was average height and build with brown hair and eyes. Generic. The other had dirty blond hair and piercing blue eyes. When he had turned Kaneki accidentally gave the police officers a full view of his own plate. The officer looked nauseous as the poor man stuttered out the first thing that came to mind.

"A-a-are those FINGERS?!????"

Kaneki simply watched as the officer fainted, his partner not to far behind. Sighing, Kaneki picked him up and set the poor man down on the couch, before repeating the process with his partner. He should try to finish dinner with Hinami in relative peace.
