Tokyo Ghoul: one shot

Tokyo Ghoul

That took forever. I bet Hide got worried. I don't know exactly how long that took, but it seemed to be a very long time.

I walk in my house and slowly shut the door. I needed some rest.

I can't believe I was so stupid! I've been looking down this whole time, and when I finally look back up, there's Hide sitting on my couch.

"Oi! Kaneki! What, are you yaoi now?" He asked.

"What makes you think that?" I snapped.

"Well, your hair is dyed white and your nails are black. What were you doing?"

"T... Touka tricked me into getting all this done!"

"Are you sure? You stuttered there."

"I bet it was from all those fumes."

"Ehh. Ooh! While you were gone, I made something!"

"What?"

Hide gets up and starts walking to the kitchen. "Come see!" Great! He made food, didn't he! Now he's definitely gonna find out. He gestures towards a pot. "I made soup, since I thought you were sick. Here, eat some before it gets cold." He lifts up the lid of the pot.

The horrible odor of that soup Hide made almost made me throw up. I had to tell him now or eat food and then have him find out. But how can I? He's my best friend. Anyways, if I tell him, he'll think I'm kidding. Do I show him the eye? Or what about the ghoul claws? No, the claws will scare him half to death. I'm still kinda a newbie at this eye, so I can't really control it quite yet.

I had made up my mind; I'll eat the soup, and hopefully I can make it look like I can eat food. Hopefully it works, I haven't practiced that much. "Ooh," I say as I cringe a bit, "smells good."

"I knew you would be happy! Here, I got you a bowl," he said as he pours some of the soup into the bowl. I almost start gagging at the sight of it being poured into the bowl. "Eat up!" He shoves the bowl to me and drops a spoon in it.

With a shaky hand, I grab a spoonful of soup and put it in my mouth. Keeping a straight face was nearly impossible. The texture was like chunky, expired mayonnaise and all the different tastes of the meat and vegetables were colliding to form an even worse taste. I gagged and dropped the bowl. I tried to seallow it, but then I spit it out all over my floor. Then it came to me that I swallowed some and jump up then race to the bathroom. Before I knew it, I was throwing up and Hide ran after me.

"Are you okay!?" He asked. I look up at him when I finish and he gives me the most terrified look. "Y... Your eye!" I look back at the mirror and realize that my ghoul eye is showing. "Y... You're a-"

"A ghoul? ... Yes."

"But w... We've been friends for as long as I can remember! H.. How come you've never told me before!?"

"Because I'm not all ghoul. Remember that girl, Rize?" Hide nods, "well, she was a ghoul and when we were found, they transplanted some of her ghoul organs into me. Ever since then, I've been a half ghoul." I could tell Hide was speechless when he didn't say a single word for two whole minutes.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Hide finally asked.

"Touka said she would-"

"Touka!? She's a ghoul too!"

"Yes," Touka said, as she walked in. Touka is always doing that. Her eyes turn black and red and she gives Hide the death stare. "And now. I must kill you!"

"Woa! No! I told you, we are not killing Hide!" I snapped at Touka.

"But a deal's a deal! Remember?" She snapped back at me.

"But... You have someone you don't want to kill! Just like Nishiki!" I said.

She sighs and pauses. "Well, I guess that... I will spare you, Hide. But! If you do anything that I don't aprove of... I will. Rip. You. To. Shreds!"

Hide gulps then nods, "yes! I... I won't dissapoint you! I promise!"

And, with that, Hide eventually got used to the fact that his freinds were ghouls. He hasn't told another living soul our secret.

Jeez! I've been dying to write one of these! I'm surprised that I didn't add some gore in there, since that is what I obsess over!
