Unlikely Meeting

It was weird really, feeling so hungry. He hadn’t felt such a strong urge to eat in months; it was tearing at him, weaving through his thoughts and eating at his resolve. The only time he remembered being quite this hungry was when he first turned into a ghoul. When was the last time he even ate? What, a month or two ago? He wasn’t even sure why he hadn’t eaten yet, usually he’s smarter about things like this.

 

He also realized it probably was a really terrible idea, having not brought his eyepatch with him while out in public being so damnhungry. He could smell everyone, the hundred’s of enticing scents around him, taunting him. He figured he could probably kill any of them right here too. After all, they were just defenseless humans, and he was a powerful ghoul, and he was so damn hungry...

 

He shook his head, trying to clear his minds of such dangerous thoughts. Yet as he continued walking through the streets, he couldn’t help it. All the alluring aromas were distracting him, taking his mind elsewhere. He glanced over and saw a little girl playing with her dad, both laughing. Both looking incredibly tempting.

 

“Snap out of it Kaneki,” he hissed to himself, snapping his head forwards. He had to get back to Anteiku or something, have some of those ‘‘sugar cubes’’ to curb his appetite.

 

There were moments that blurred together as he walked back, and he even felt confused and found any control he had before was quickly dissolving. Within little time at all he felt the innate urge to eat consume his body and his mind, “I have to eat...” He mumbled, walking through the darkening streets as he drew closer and closer to Anteiku. “I have to eat...”

 

His kagune sprung out and coiled tightly behind his back as he walked through the shadows, until he smelled something so deliciously familiar and sweet, that he just gave up hiding completely and ran around the corner to find the source of the smell.

 

“Yes, finally!” He cried out, his kagune enshrouding him, a steady stream of drool coming from his mouth. He ran forward and pinned the man in front of him, his thoughts consisting of only one thing; I have to eat.

 

“Kaneki, stop!” The man gasped, struggling and failing to break free of the kagune that were pinning him to the ground. “It’s me! Your friend, Hide!”

 

“Hide...” Kaneki breathed, some of his senses returning to him. He shuddered and got up, fighting every urge to eat.

 

“Yeah, it’s me,” Hide said, shaking a little. “Glad to see you’re alive man. Haven’t seen you in months!”

 

“I...I don’t...” Kaneki couldn’t finish his sentence, the urge to eat so overwhelmingly strong that he had to hold onto the side of a trashcan just so he wouldn’t launch himself at Hide. All he could smell was the tantalizing flesh and blood in front of him, all packaged into one delightfully brightly colored person. “Hide...you have to leave.”

 

Hide rolled his eyes and said, “I’m not going to leave you. Besides, Anteiku is only across the street, so I’m sure we can make, can’t we?”
