Rating:

Rated T for violence and possible suggestive content. I'll try as hard as I can to keep a T rating, but I may have to change the rating later on.

A/N

Hi, peeps! This is my first fanfic for both the Toukyou Kushu (Tokyo Ghoul) and Rosario + Vampire fandoms, so please don't hesitate to review and tell me what you think. All reviews are appreciated and will help me decide if I want to write anything else in either one of these fandoms. Also, this is a spur of the moment story that I probably wasn't even going to post for a while. There's a chance I won't continue and might possibly delete it unless you guys like it. So, please, tell me if you do or don't like it.

To set the scene, this story takes place right after the Aogiri story arc in Toukyou Kushu (because I haven't finished the next story arc yet *sobs hysterically*) and at the beginning of Rosario + Vampire. Kaneki battled Yamori and Ayato already, but Yamori was not found by Suzuya. Also, I have not seen hardly any of the Rosario + Vampire anime and only clips from the Tokyo Ghoul anime, so you can probably guess that I'll be using the manga versions for both. They can also get away with more violence. I'm looking straight at you, freakin' 103 bones scene that was removed from the anime!

Now, without further ado, here's chapter 1!

Chapter 1:

Unseen Attacker

Kaneki halted once he reached a small clearing in the trees, with Uta, Yomo, Tsukiyama, and Nishio following his lead. Thick, the forest brush concealed them from any unwanted eyes – be it Aogiri or the CCG. Yomo, relaxed for the time being, took the opportunity to lift Touka off of his shoulders and set her down. She had still not recovered from her encounter with her brother, and was lucky Kaneki arrived when he did. If he would have been any later, who knows what would have happened.

"Kaneki!" called Banjou, jogging into the clearing and carrying one of his three followers who had been wounded on his back. The other two followed close behind. "… Looks like… your work's done here."

"… Yes…" Kaneki replied. As he began to realize this, it felt as though a weight began to lift off his shoulders. Yamori was as good as dead, and Ayato was half dead after Kaneki broke half of his body. And although this was a victory for him, Kaneki knew that this was only the beginning. Three other leaders of Aogiri still lived, so Kaneki's work was far from done. Ultimately, he would have to face the one-eyed king.

Yomo noticed something missing in the air. Glancing around, he located the difference: silence. Besides the small sounds of the CCG and forest creatures, nothing disturbed the nighttime air. He then spotted the Aogiri headquarters through a gap in the trees. His suspicions were correct.

"Seems like it's over," he voiced, nodding in the direction of the once chaotic battle scene. All eyes followed. Sure enough, the CCG were the only ones still standing, hauling away the dead bodies of numerous Aogiri ghouls. The battle was over.

"… I can't believe I almost died tonight… and I can't believe I have to go back to the university," mused Nishio. "There's also work at Anteiku…" Touka glanced over at Kaneki upon hearing the coffee shop's name. Had it only been a few weeks since he was last there? It felt like months. Without him there, it just wasn't the same. But now, he was finally returning home.

Even though he would return home, Touka worried that not all of him would. He changed. Through his eyes, she saw weariness and pain. He had been captured, saw who knows what, and had who knows what done to him; they took some of his innocence away. When he fought her brother, Kaneki seemed like a completely different person. Suddenly, Kaneki – like a switch had been flipped – acted cold and merciless. Even though she was mostly incapacitated, Touka heard everything. Kaneki was different, from his expression to his white hair.

Touka suddenly had a realization.

"Kaneki…" she started. Kaneki lifted his gaze off the aftermath of the battle and gave his attention to Touka. "When we get back to Anteiku, we'll have to change your hair. It'll really stick out." Kaneki looked surprised at first, but his expression was quickly replaced by his kind smile.

"I won't be—"

Crash!

A sudden noise cut Kaneki off before he could answer, alerting the group of a new presence. Though it sounded from afar, smaller crashes rapidly grew closer and louder – heading straight for the clearing.

"Everyone, split up and regroup at Anteiku!" Kaneki ordered as he turned to face the entity. "I'll hold it off."

"Kaneki, I'll stay and help," said Uta. "Yomo will, too."

"Wí, I'll stay at well!" added Tsukiyama, preparing to fight along with Uta and Yomo.

"No, it'll be safer for everyone if I do this alone. I just need to hold it off, and I'd be slow to escape if I have anyone else to worry about," explained Kaneki. "Trust me, please."

Uta, Yomo, and Tsukiyama hesitated before turning around.

"Alright, but call us if you need help," affirmed Yomo as he disappeared into the forest.

Kaneki turned his attention back towards the direction of the entity. Almost instantly, he noticed a shadow darting around in the underbrush. One thing became disturbingly apparent to Kaneki: it moved much faster than him. He glanced around, trying his hardest to follow it with his eyes. Then, it fell out of sight. Kaneki scanned the tree line, hoping to find any signs of it. He got his wish, but in an unwanted way.

A swift blow pounded into Kaneki's back, sending him flying into a tree and leaving a trail of destruction behind him. He jumped back up, looking in the attack's direction only to find nothing. Listening hard, he took a step back. This thing was strong. Another blow to his back confirmed this statement and sent him crashing into another tree. As Kaneki picked himself up, powerful hands encircled his neck and squeezed. Kaneki, choking, thrashed with all his might to escape. And when one hand let go, Kaneki thought he had a chance – until the hand returned and stabbed a hypodermic needle into the inner corner of his left eye socket. While it injected an all too familiar fluid into his bloodstream, Kaneki screamed until the other hand returned to his throat, effectively knocking him unconscious from lack of oxygen. Everything went black.

Kaneki never even saw his attacker.

The entire world appeared to spin as Kaneki awoke. Jumping up, he immediately took in his surroundings. Kaneki, half expecting to be back in Yamori's torture room and strapped back down to that chair, sighed in relief when he realized his location. He stood on a dirt road in the middle of the forest. Kaneki noted that the trees looked different, yet he didn't think anything of it at the time. All he cared about was finding his friends and making sure they were safe. Did they make it back to Anteiku?

So, with no greater plan, Kaneki began his trek down the dirt path. Animals scuttled around in the brush, yet they sounded different from last night. The nocturnal animals must all be asleep, he thought.

"Touka! Yomo! Uta! Is anyone there?" Kaneki called into the forest. "Heck, I'll even take Tsukiyama or Nishio—"

Kaneki stopped dead in his tracks when a smell met his nose. Now, Kaneki's ghoul hearing and sense of smell were not that amazing. He could not hear a bird flying five miles away or smell a human with a paper cut ten miles away. But, for some reason, he could smell something coming. It didn't smell quite like a ghoul or a human – too weak for a human and too strong for a ghoul. Whatever it was, it smelled interesting and rich. Kaneki would have felt hungry if not for eating Yamori's kagune… and most of Yamori.

He only had a moment to react in the next few moments. Quickly moving towards him from behind, a loud rattling and little bell grew louder, followed by a voice.

"GYYAAAA OOOHHHH NOOOOO! COMING THROUGH!"

Kaneki dove out of the way to avoid getting smashed by the out of control bicycle and its rider. Standing up and dusting himself off, he turned to face the wreck. A broken bicycle lay next to a high school girl, who sat up, brushed a few strands of her pink hair off her face, and rubbed her eyes. Kaneki's heart ached, with him feeling responsible for the accident. What kind of a horrible person makes a girl crash on her bike?

"Hey, I'm so sorry for getting in your way," he apologized, sprinting over and kneeling down in front of her. "Are you okay?"

"…Oow, I'm sorry… I got dizzy from my anemia…" she moaned. "Oh no, blood… you're eye's bleeding."

"What?" Kaneki asked as he touched his face below his left eye. When he raised his hand, he did in fact see the bright red smear of blood on his hand. "Wha—oh, I remember. There was this person, we had a fight, and he had a needle." The pink haired girl took a handkerchief out of her school uniform's jacket and reached up to wipe off the blood. Almost as quickly as Kaneki became uncomfortable, she looked like she was going to faint.

"Oh… the scent of… blood… I… I… can't… I lose control when I smell that scent," she breathed, collapsing onto Kaneki. Needless to say with his past experiences with women, his face flushed bright pink.

"W-w-what? A-are you s-sure you're okay?"

"I'm sorry, but… it's just 'cuz…" she whispered as she leaned in close to his face. Kaneki's heart pounded violently against his ribcage in both fear and anticipation of what he thought would follow. When their noses almost touched, she quickly dipped her head down and sunk her fangs into his jugular. "I'm a vampire."

He did not expect this.
