Kaneki felt his body slam into the wall and tried to desperately hold on the thin threads of life. He felt the blood pump through his sweater, staining it, while he breathed heavily.

Kaneki Ken did nothing wrong. What in the world did he do to deserve this? He just wanted a date with a seemingly normal girl that liked the same books as he did.

"Oh, you're dying already?" That female ghoul teased. "Quite a shame. I actually liked you."

Just as she was about to close in, a loud rattling came from above. Kaneki looked up to see steel bars falling from the sky. Rize gasped as the rods pierced her body.

"Why... You..." Those were the last words spoken by Rize. Kaneki was too tired to react to any of this. He just felt... Himself... Slipping away...

The sight of his bloody crush impaled was the last sight Kaneki Ken had before he slipped into darkness.

"Perform the surgery, immediately!" Doctor Kanou had called out. A group of nurses had put Kaneki on a gurney and rushed him to the operation room.

"Doctor," one of the male nurses had started to say. "Do we have an organ to transplant?"

"Yes, I have selected a liver to replace the one that had been affected in the accident," Kanou had replied. "It seems to be heavily damaged due to the stabbing." He handed a clipboard to the nurse that asked.

"The donor according to this chart is a... 'Bruce Banner'? This is a foreign name, are you sure we can use this organ, Doctor?"

Doctor Kanou stared at the nurse. "Your job is to save lives, right?" He queried in a stern voice.

"Y-yes."

"Then do not question me. Do as I tell you to do."

"Yes, Doctor."

The nurse kept quiet as they went ahead, with Kaneki's limp and unconscious body being wheeled to the operation room.

Where am I? Kaneki thought.

He opened his eyes to find he was in a different place than the construction site. It was simply white. He noticed that he was completely bare, but he didn't feel vulnerable.

Kaneki felt lethargic as he walked. And as he did, the floor transitioned, with ripples, from white to dark green with every step.

The color spread until everything was painted green and suddenly he was surrounded with a lime green fire. Kaneki stuck his hand in the flames only to find he didn't burn. Instead he felt a pleasant, warm feeling as he ran his hands through them.

Suddenly, what seemed to be a man had started to materialize in front of him, but separated from him by the green fire. Slowly his features became more visible and defined.

It was a man with emerald green skin. His eyes were a brighter shade, but his hair a darker shade. He only wore what seemed to be torn pants. He had a lean but muscular frame and was exceptionally tall, taller than anyone he's met.

"Me Hulk..." The green guy bellowed. "Hulk put into you, now you is Hulk too..." Kaneki didn't understand what this Hulk was saying, it just didn't seem to click in his mind.

The Hulk roared, and Kaneki slowly closed his eyes. He felt the sound waves of the roar flow through him. For some reason, it felt like he was slowly changing.

Then everything felt numb.

Suddenly, there were voices.

"What room is this boy supposed to be in?"

"210, I think."

Kaneki's eyes darted open, revealing his irises had become a bright, radioactive green. He didn't see or hear much before he fell asleep, once again, not knowing that the vision he had would soon be forgotten.

Kaneki Ken heard what seemed to be dripping.

His eyes fluttered open while sunlight filled his vision, causing him to rub his eyes a bit. He noticed he was wearing a hospital gown and an identification wristband but still felt the need to ask, "Where am I?"

Thankfully a nurse was in the room. "Oh, you've awakened! You're in the hospital, Mr. Kaneki." She put on a gentle smile. "I'm Nurse Kimira. I'll get you some food and ask Doctor Kanou to check on you." She left the room.

The sounded of liquid dripping still resounded in Kaneki's ears, so he was slightly determined to find the source. He realized it was from a blood dropper, transfusing blood slowly into his system. Their was a label on it, and Kaneki was curious to see what it says.

"'Source of blood: Banner, Bruce'," he read.

Nurse Kimira returned with a tray of food. "Here you go Mr. Kaneki," she started. "Doctor Kanou should be on his way but in the meantime, please eat!"

"Uh, what time is it, Nurse?"

"Hmm, abut 2:15 in the afternoon. I'll see you later," she had said before walking out to another patient's room.

Kaneki stared at the tray before him. A slice of salmon, a bowl of rice, a bowl of miso soup, and a side of tofu and bean sprouts. He took his first bite of salmon and his eyes widened.

"Hello, Mr. Kaneki?" Doctor Kanou called out to him a few minutes later right outside the room door. He walked inside and found Kaneki with puffed cheeks filled with food and the plates and bowls more than halfway done. The doctor grinned.

"Mm?" Kaneki said in a muffled voice. Quickly, he swallowed the food in one gulp. "Ah, sorry Doctor. I don't know what's gotten into me. I don't usually eat like that, but this food tastes really good!"

Doctor Kanou pulled a chair next to Kaneki's hospital bed. "I see your metabolism is quite higher than normal."

Kaneki swallowed more food. "Is... Is that bad?"

"Oh no. It probably is good. The cause of increase is probably a side effect of the surgery we had to do on you."

"Surgery?" Kaneki was obviously oblivious.

"Ah yes," Doctor Kanou started. "If you lift up your shirt, you can see the stitches we did. We had to transplant a new liver since yours was damaged after some kind of impalement to your abdomen."

Kaneki lifted his shirt and there is was, stitches on the right side. He rubbed it a little. "When will I be able to go home?"

"Ah once we do some more tests, which will probably take until later today. Now if I may do a physical check on your body..."

Doctor Kanou left after the check up, leaving an unusually energetic Kaneki Ken alone to finish his food.
