Hide lived the first 10 years of his life in Japan, but only a year after his best friend's mother dies, he's forced to move to America with his family. Unfortunately, his best friend, Ken Kaneki, is left to finish grieving alone.
Years later, America's at war with Japan, & Hide is drafted into the army. He doesn't want to fight his old country, especially with the chance of fighting his own old friends, but he has no choice.
Will he end up meeting Ken on the battlefield? Will Hide be able to kill his former friend like he's supposed to? What has happened to Ken in the past 6 years anyway? Follow Hide as he makes friends in America's army and fights for his life on the battlefield, and you'll be allowed to find out.
By the way, Japan's population has more ghouls than humans, & America's population has more humans than ghouls. Also, America's more advanced than Japan (for convenience purposes and because the CCG). This is in no way related to real life. I merely used America & Japan for country names (the real anime/manga DID take place in Tokyo, and Hide WAS interested in English and everything) & gave them military-related attributes that were convenient for this story. I mean come on, America's based off of the CCG. Just as with my Tarnished Angel Hide story, the situations are very different from real life.
America's considered safer for humans, & Japan's considered safer for ghouls. This is why Hide's parents move to America.
Warnings: yaoi, torture, possibly the whole bundle.
Disclaimer: I don't own Tokyo Ghoul (:re). I also don't own the cover picture clearly, but Hide's so cute~~
Spoiler alert for this story: (It's for my own personal use.)
Ok, here's my plan: Hide & Ken are gonna be in the army. Rival armies. Then Ken's gonna be captured by America, & Haise Sasaki appears. Could be for the reason in the manga, a way for America to be unable to get info out of him, could be that America tortured him that badly, or something else.
