A/N : Hi~~ Chapter 1!!!!
Starts here!!!!! I'll do my best to make it good!! If it's a bit weird, please tell me~~ enjoy~~~~ XD

Kaneki was tied to a chair with iron chains. A man was walking toward him, holding a big plier.

"Ah... let's begin... shall we?" Said the man. Kaneki was trembling, crying. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't.

"Let's start with the toes..." He grabbed Kaneki's foot. "No...no... NO... NOOOO!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!" He screamed.

Clink!!!

"AAARRGGGGHHHH!!!!!" Kaneki woke up, sweating, panting. He was in his room, in his bed. He turned on his lamp, and saw the DVD he was watching earlier, 13's Jason. It was about an imaginary creature, Ghoul, and the main story was about a psycho ghoul torturer named Jason.

"I shouldn't have watched that before I went to bed..." Muttered Kaneki. Someone knocked on his door. "Ken, are you alright? I heard you screaming." It was Kaneki's mother.

"I'm fine, Mom. I just... had a nightmare." Said Kaneki. His mother opened the door and walked in. "I told you not to watch horror movies before you sleep." Said his mother softly.

"Yeah, I know, sorry." Said Kaneki. His mother hugged him, and walked away. "Mom."
"Yes, dear?"
"Are you... overworking yourself again?" Asked Kaneki. His mother walked back and sat down beside him.

"Ken, don't worry, I'll be fine. A little work won't do harm to me." Said his mother, smiling weakly. "But it's three in the morning now! Mom, please! Take some rest! I'll go find a job tomorrow. I want to help." Said Kaneki. His mother smiled, and patted his head.

"No, Ken. This year is your third year of high school, focus on your exams. Get some sleep now, tomorrow is the first day of your third year. Thank you, Mom will be fine, okay?" Said Kaneki's mother, and he nodded.

"Good boy. Good night, Ken."
"Good night, Mom." His mother went back to her room, and Kaneki lay back down to his bed. "I will find a job and help Mom, and I will do my utmost to study and get in Kamii!" He thought.

The next morning Kaneki woke up very early, and he couldn't go back to sleep, so he decided to do some studies. When it was about time to leave, he went to the living room and saw his mother sleeping on the sofa. "Have a nice dream, Mom." He covered her with a blanket and left.

After about ten minutes of walking, he saw a familiar, dark blue haired girl walking out of the cafe, Anteiku. She was his best friend, Touka.

"Touka-chan!!" He waved at her, and she waved back. "Hi, Kaneki!" Said Touka. "Nice to see you again." Said Kaneki, waking beside her. "Yeah, well, how do you feel?" Asked Touka. "What?" Asked Kaneki, a bit confused. "The third year of high school, of course." Said Touka. "Hm, it's fine, I guess." Said Kaneki, scratching his chin.

"KANEKI!!!!!!!!!!!" They heard someone yelling Kaneki's name. A boy with orange hair wearing a red headphone around his neck ran toward him and wrapped his arm around Kaneki's neck.

"Hide!! You're strangling me!!" Said Kaneki, pulling Hide's arm. "Hey, Hide." Said Touka, smiling. "Good morning, Touka-chan!" Said Hide cheerfully.

"Why didn't you oversleep today??" Asked Kaneki, massaging his throat. "You guess." Said Hide, grinning.
"You fell off your bed, or your mom poured cold water on you." Said Touka. "Wow Touka-chan, you really do understand me and my mom! Both happened!" Said Hide, the two laughed. After another ten minutes they reached the school gate.
