GHOUL / KANEKI KEN

II.

it was again another dark autumn night, and you had to work late at the university with some other classmates. there was a project due in a few days, and you guys were running out of time. so you all decided to take this night to work late on it and hopefully get in finshed.

and that led to you heading home at three am in the morning. but you didn't mind, you liked the night time.

as you were walking home, your mind slipped back to kaneki. again recently he had been on your mind. maybe it was because of those missing posters, or the news about ghouls attacking more humans.

the night was silent, yet peaceful. until you heard a scream, it shook you, your body shivered. the sream sounded painful and heartbroken.

your eyes started searching, trying to find something, anything. your heart raced, some part of you wondered if maybe it was kaneki. you knew how stupid the idea was, but some part of you hoped.

the screaming became slightly louder. and without thinking, you ran towards the direction of the sound.

then your body came to a stop, you saw a boy all beat up. his hair a deep black, and he had a mask on. it covered his month and his right eye, yet his left wasn't normal. the eye was black, and the iris of it was a crimson red.

'is this what a ghoul looks like?'

your eyes widened, body stiff and unmoveable. then a tall man appeared, this hair white and dressed in a long coat, he also had on a crow mask.

the boy then ran to him, his mask falling off and a red long tentacle came out from his back. it then stabbed the tall man in the stomach. the man still standing, he didn't seem in pain at all. but there was a lot of blood dripping from him.

the boy's face was now clear, and he looked an awful lot like kaneki. your eyes couldn't peel away from him. you really wanted to know, was it really him?

then the tall man's face turned slightly towards you, you realized that you might be in danger. you forced your body to move away from the area. you tried to make it to your apartment, but your body gave out before.

you dropped to the ground, your mind replaying the scene you had just witnessed. yet it aways ended with his face.

you coughed, feeling as if you were going to puke. body still unbelievably shaking.

"kaneki, is that really you?" your eyes glanced down, tears forming in your eyes.

if it was, did hide know about this? you remembered he started leaving early, going somewhere in a rush.

you had so many questions, and no answers at all.

you picked up yourself, trying to make it up the stairs to your apartment. your legs shaking, as you took your steps. "damnit," you muttered as you unlocked your door.

after you settled down, you made food and turned on the tv. it was another program about the study of ghouls. you normally turned this stuff off or changed the channel.

but tonight it was different. you keep it on and watched.

as morning rose, you planned on making a cup of coffee for yourself since you didn't get much sleep. only to realize you ran out of coffee.

"great, i guess i'll go to a coffee shop then," you spoke to yourself as you messed with your hair.

you got dressed in warm clothing, and headed out.

as you were walking, you saw there was a sigh for a cute coffee shop. so you went up the stairs and into the shop.

the place was quite peaceful, and sweet bitter coffee smell filled the air.

"welcome," a girl with purple hair, she gave you a small smile and a menu. "thank you," you said as you walked to a table.

as you were walking, you took a look at the menu. not realizing someone was in front of you. you then bumped into someone, you looked up to apologize.

but you then stopped, month agape, as right in front of you was kaneki ken.

"ah . . . kaneki?"
