Tokyo Ghoul Fanfic

No Face

The ghoul introduces himself and sweeps a hand through his hair.

"Thank you so much for helping me."

"My pleasure."

"I'm Uta. The doves call me No Face," Uta outreaches a hand to shake with mine.

"I'm Azumi," I shake his hand and get a good look at him. His facial expressions remain the same. He's tall and has lanky arms and legs. He's wearing a used to be white collared shirt and black jeans.

I can tell he's evaluating my appearance too. I'm a short girl with long dark brown hair. I'm in my school uniform of a white shirt and black skirt with knee highs and dress shoes. A stupid school uniform that doesn't fit my style at all. He probably thinks I'm some goody-two-shoes who is class president and is in every school club.

"I'm so sorry for being a bother to you. I just smelled a ghoul was nearby and I needed serious help."

"It's fine. I'm glad I could help. What happened to you anyways? Was it a dove?"

"No I was just hunting in a place I wasn't supposed to."

"I'm glad you're okay. I hear territory fights happen all of the time, but I've never seen the aftermath damage in person."

"Well, thank you for helping me. I probably made you late. Sorry."

"It's okay. I'm just going to school. It's not even worth it if I'm late."

"You don't want to end up going to cram school. Don't your parents want you to go to school?"

"My parents died. And before that, they didn't even care much about me."

I can't believe I am just spilling my life story right to a random ghoul I just met. Uta is just making it so easy to open up to. I can't help it. My thoughts are interrupted when he starts talking.

"Want to come back to my house?" Uta's face blushes red and he waves his hands up to prove he's innocent, "not to sound like a creeper at all, but I mean you helped me and I want to return the favor."

I feel my stomach drop. I should just skip school today. It'd be pretty easy. But I barely know Uta. How could I know he won't end up torturing me or killing me. He couldn't. He wouldn't do that to me. He isn't in the shape to do it, and I just saved his life almost. But there's something about him giving me attention and wanting to get to know me better that makes my inside tingle and fill up with happiness.

"Sure, I'd love to."
