Aaaaand here we are with the first official chapter of the very first Tokyo Ghoul and Code Geass crossover! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of mature ages, I welcome you to Tokyo Ghoul: Requiem for a Demon! The pairings are Lelouch X Eto, Ayato X Hinami, and Touka X Kaneki! Oh, I should explain something first though... Kaneki won't be the one becoming a One-Eyed Ghoul.

Episode 1: An Unwanted New Life

The moment Lelouch vi Britannia, otherwise known as Lelouch the Demon, closed his eyes, he felt his body being submerged in water. He couldn't see anything, but he felt stark naked due to the chilliness that passed through his body. The water around him was clear blue, but below him was a black mist, swirling and tangling around itself as it tried to reach him. 'Where...' the king thought, confused by what was happening. He could hear voices, muddled and blurred. He could only catch a few bits of their conversation.

"Without permission...next of kin?"

"He'll die...this rate!"

"...take full responsibility for this!"

"Doctor...?!"

"Our priority...save his life...it's useless to...she's already..."

'What's going on...?' Lelouch questioned. The water was slowly becoming tinted red, cool blue becoming bloody crimson. 'What are they talking about...? I should be...'

Then, he felt something soft pressing up against his back, a strange warmth beginning to surround him. As embarrassing and perverted as the thoughts and ideas were, Lelouch could already tell what had been pressing against his back, but strangely, he found the feel unfamiliar. He felt arms beginning to crawl his body, slender fingers gliding across his skin before finding his eyes. The darkness below them was slowly dispersing, moving away as the water finally became nothing but red, as if they were within an ocean of blood.

Then, as the hands fell from his eyes, a soft, velveteen voice whispered in his ear. Her voice was smooth, and calming, and yet... he could only feel a sense of wrong from it.

"It's time to wake up..." the woman told him. Lelouch's eyes twitched, and slowly opened. His right eye was rich and deep amethyst, a shade equally as beautiful was the luster of a gem. However, his left eye, which had been cursed with an avian-like mark, was now gone. There was no white sclera, nor a beautiful shade of purple to compliment it.

His left eye was now black, like charcoal, and in the center was red.

TOKYO GHOUL: Requiem for a Demon

When Lelouch awoke fully, he found himself in what looked like a hospital room. There was nothing but white around him, the ceiling white pristine with curtains drawn back to block the sunlight. A curtain to his left was also drawn, though he could faintly see the outline of a bed through it. A soft, yet sharp beeping sound could be heard in the room, along with the sound of breathes being exchanged.

It took him a moment to realize that there was an oxygen mask strapped over his face, his right eye bandaged, along with a large majority of his upper torso, and his right arm. It took him another few minutes to realize something, something that made him horrified.

He was still alive.

'No... why...?!' he thought in panic, shooting up straight before agonizing pain erupted all over his body, most of it focused along his chest and arm as he removed the oxygen mask, causing the machine to start crying out in alarm. 'I shouldn't even be alive right now!'

The door to the room was thrown open, a couple of nurses barging in. They were already trying to restrain Lelouch as he made a move to get out. This was not what was supposed to be happening. He was supposed to have died at the hands of Zero, thus bringing an end to the Zero Requiem. He shouldn't be alive. If he was, then everything would be ruined. Suzaku would be found out, and everyone would think he gave up his throne to Nunnally. Chaos and anarchy would start to run rampant, shattering whatever hopes of peace he and Suzaku had sacrificed so much to achieve.

"Someone, get the doctor!" the nurse holding his arm shouted. They were having a hard time keeping him down. Lelouch was thrashing around, trying to break free, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from their grip. "Please, calm down!" one of the nurses told him, keeping her arms on one of his legs. "Sir, calm down, please! You're going into shock!"

"D-dammit, let me go!" Lelouch shouted, his efforts fruitless. "I've got to-I have to-!"

"Keep him restrained!" a male voice shouted as footsteps hurriedly shuffled into the room. A middle-aged man rushed into the room, holding a syringe. "Sir, this will help you calm down." Lelouch did not listen. He continued to struggle, his arms already beginning to break free. The nurses were getting tired. However, just as he was about to get free, the needle pierced his skin, and was shoved in.

It only took about five seconds before his body finally started to go numb, his legs and arms and eyelids heavy. "Y...you don't..." Lelouch started, but his consciousness was starting to fade away. The nurses were panting while the man held his shoulder gently, smiling gently. "It's alright..." he told Lelouch as the last traces of him were ebbing away. "You're safe now..."

Lelouch didn't say anything, as the tranquilizer finally claimed him. The darkness overtook him, and he once again fell back into a deep sleep.

~~~Requiem for a Demon~~~

"You're sure you want to go through with this?"

"Everything has been set according to plan. Now, Lelouch vi Britannia has gathered all of the world's hatred upon his shoulders. All that's left to do now... is to erase my existence."

"Yes, after all... that is the Zero Requiem."

"You know, Geass is something like a wish, don't you think?"

"Huh?"

"You can't do things on your own, so rely on the power of others. That's why I'm willing to place my faith on the wish known as Geass to grant the peace everyone deserves."

"..."

"Suzaku... you'll slay the Demon Emperor of Britannia, and become a hero... you'll become Zero. Do you accept that fate?"

"...Yes, I do."

"You know, it's strange... we were always at odds with each other since Shinjuku, and now here we are, about to pull off the greatest miracle Zero has to offer."

"Do you ever regret it?"

"Hm?"

"Do you ever regret possessing Geass?"

~~~Requiem for a Demon~~~

The next time Lelouch awoke, his limbs were no longer burning as if he had been skinned and tossed into water. Rather, he felt slightly relaxed, and above him was the doctor from before. "Oh, good, you're awake." Lelouch frowned. He hadn't noticed it at the time, seeing he was fraught with panic, but now that he listened... the man was speaking Japanese. Was he still in Japan? "My name is Dr. Kanou. I'm the one who saved your life."

Lelouch's eyes widened slightly at this. 'He saved me?' he thought, bewildered by this information. That didn't make sense. Surely, this man should know who he was. There wasn't a single person in the world who hadn't seen what crimes he had done, how many he people he killed for the sake of a better future. 'Maybe he doesn't know who I am? No, that wouldn't be possible. Surely, the other doctors would recognize me... Actually, where the hell am I?'

"You're Lelouch Lamperouge, correct?" Kanou asked him, causing his eyes to widen slightly. He hadn't heard anyone call him by that name in a long time. "I have to say, you either must have some sort of guardian angel at your side, or you've got the devil's luck. It's not everyday a person survives having their lung punctured and their shoulder smashed to bits. It's also astounding that you're kidney was still working, if only barely."

'Wait, what?!' Lelouch mentally screamed, trying to keep his poker face on. 'T-that can't be right! Suzaku stabbed me in the chest!' "We were able to save your lung, but the kidney wouldn't last, so we had to use one of the organs from the woman with you. Was she you're girlfriend, by any chance?"

Wait, girl? What? "What do you mean by, girl?" Lelouch asked curiously before he found himself blinking. He was speaking Japanese fluently? Sure, he spent three months in Japan, and still practiced it since Suzaku, until he met him seven years later after the war, didn't know any English. "What the hell happened?"

Kanou blinked, surprised before he donned his smile again. "I suppose I should have mentioned that you were also suffering from some brain trauma as well, so I suppose amnesia is also another problem." Amnesia? Head trauma? "It should clear up in a few days. Anyway, a bystander found you bleeding and wounded at a construction site, and a girl in front of you buried in steal beams. According to the report, it says that they fell from atop the building, killing her almost instantly."

'Construction site?' Lelouch frowned. 'But, I was in the homeland on the way to the Black Knights' execution... what's going on? And where am I, anyway? Since we're both speaking Japanese, I can tell that we're in Japan. But, an Eleven doctor? There's no way the hospital would allow that. Is it... in the ghettos?'

"Oh, that reminds me." Kanou snapped his fingers, his head lifted up with the expression of someone who just recalled something. "Those friends of yours, Hide and Kaneki I believe they were called, they came around last week to visit you."

'Hide? Kaneki?' Lelouch delved into his memories, and tried to recall anyone by those names, but he eventually came up with a blank. He acted out the part he had been placed in, and nodded in understanding. After Kanou explained a few things, Lelouch was finally left to himself, and sighed in frustration, a hand at his forehead.

"Just what the hell is going on here?"

~~~Requiem for a Demon~~~

After another week in the hospital, Lelouch was finally allowed to leave. He was no longer dressed in the white yukata that the patients wore, dressed in a gray t-shirt with a black hoodie and gray jeans with combat boots, a bag slung over his shoulder. "Hm, not a bad choice in clothes..." he idly muttered as he walked for the door.

During his time here, he had been recovering and learning as much as he could. It only took him two days to figure that that wherever he was, it was Japan... but there was no Britannia. In fact, the Empire didn't even exist. Washington's Rebellion, called the American Revolution, had succeeded, and eventually in place of Britannia, there came the United States of America. Knightmares also did not exist, and Sakuradite was missing as well.

He also looked into his personal life. In this world, he was Lelouch Lamperouge, born in Great Britain that moved to Japan when he was six. His father was Charles Vermillion, a wealthy business man that was good at what he did, earning a steady paycheck and enough money to support his family, but he strangely decided to take on the name of his wife, Marianne. She was a former member of the military, earning the rank of First Lieutenant, and before she quit the military, she was honored with the rank of Brigadier General.

Unfortunately, whatever happy Lelouch must have had soon died out when they were killed in a terrorist bombing incident, which claimed the lives of several hundred people, his parents included. He was left an orphan, but was later adopted by the Kaneki family, thus becoming Ken Kaneki's adoptive brother, older by two years. He had already graduated high school, and passed all of his exams at the top of his class. He was also in his final year at Kamii University.

However, there was one particular detail about this world that caught Lelouch's interest.

"Ghouls, huh...?" he muttered under his breath as the doors opened. "What are they really, I wonder..."

"Yooooo, Lelouch!"

The raven-haired king snapped back to reality when he saw two people standing at the steps of the hospital. One was a boy with blonde hair with a dash of black at his scalp, wearing a yellow and black jersey sweater with headphones around his neck, and the other was the same age with dark hair and soft brown eyes, wearing a blue hoodie that matched with Lelouch's black one.

'They must be Hide and Kaneki...' he thought before he slipped on his poker face, and greeted the two casually as best he could. "Sorry about all of this." he apologized, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "Did you guys wait very long?"

The black haired boy, Kaneki, shook his head and smiled. "No, not really. Still, I'm glad you're okay, Aniki!" Lelouch froze for a second. Hearing someone calling him "big brother" other than his little sister and Rolo was very strange, almost foreign. "But, I heard about what happened to Rize-san... I'm really sorry. I know you liked her."

'Did I?' Lelouch mused in his head. 'There's still so much I still don't know about what happened that night. Why were we at a construction site in the first place, anyway? And how did I end up with severe injuries?'

"Knowing prince charming, he'll get over it soon." Hide shrugged his shoulders before grinning. "But, never mind that! Did you get to meet any cute girls while you were in there? Nurses?! Patients?! Spill the beans man!"

Lelouch chuckled awkwardly, scratching his cheek. 'So, he's this world's Rivalz, huh?' he thought, sweat dropping. "Actually, no, not really." he admitted. "I was just cooped up in a hospital room for a long while."

Hide's attitude deflated at this, but to Lelouch's amazement, he suddenly popped back up, cheerful grin and all. The three left, engaging in small talk while Lelouch took the time to take in the sights. Truly, Tokyo was much more beautiful in this world. 'I wonder how everyone else is doing?' he wondered thoughtfully. 'Is Nunnally okay? Is Kallen still alive? Is Suzaku still acting as Zero?'

He gave a long, silent sigh. 'I wish I knew...'

~~~Requiem for a Demon~~~

"..."

"Ne, why are you looking at that guy, Tatara-san?"

"..."

"Ooh, does he interest you?"

"...He is interesting."

"-giggles- Wow, I never you were into that kind of stuff..."

"It... is not that."

Standing atop a large skyscraper, two figures watched the trio make their way home. The man, Tatara, was an imposing figure with white hair and beady, cold eyes, wearing a bloody red mask that covered the lower half of his face, wearing a white coat that hid a vast majority of his body. Beside him was a small petite girl with bandages wrapped around her entire body, almost like a mummy, wearing a purple jacket with a hood, carrying floppy ears at the top.

"Lelouch Lamperouge..." Tatara hummed the name, looking at the boy with interest. "I wonder... just who are you?"

The girl, Eto, giggled at his remark, but she herself had a strange fascination with the boy, though why was anyone's guess.

Either way, Aogiri Tree, courtesy of Tatara, marked Lelouch as a person of interest. The fact that he had the interest of one of one of the organization's Top Executives, and even the infamous One-Eyed Owl was certainly enough to wonder who Lelouch Lamperouge was to catch the eye of two powerful Ghouls.

Whatever the case may be, the world was about to spiral out of control, and while some believe it would be at the hands of Aogiri Tree, they are wrong.

After all, only a true demon can create chaos... and a demon has arrived in Tokyo.

A demon named Lelouch vi Britannia.

Next Time: Hellish Existence

If Lelouch seems out of character, I apologize. However, I should warn you, he will start to get worse in the next chapter, but will recover. I think we can all agree that waking up in a world you know nothing about, and now a being that must devour humans to survive is certainly a cause for fright and panic, even for someone that is as calm and composed and meticulous as a certain glorious bastard.

Anyway, tune in next time for another chapter of Tokyo Ghoul: Requiem for a Demon!
