A/N: Hello my fellow readers, I have started a new crossover between Tokyo Ghoul and Percy Jackson. I know some you will think this is gonna be another story I will abandon, but I promise I will try to stick with this story. Probably this story, will only have at least ten chapters but each chapter will be longer than 2,000 words. If time permits, I will try to update once a week, or once for every two weeks since I'm not done with school.

As of the story, the story will be focusing more on family-themed as well as a new beginning to our beloved Kaneki/Sasaki. We'll get to see of what really happened to Kaneki's father, and the true form of Kaneki's father. The title itself may give you hint of who is Kaneki's god parent. Well enough with ramblings. Enjoy this spin-off of the first chapter.

Chapter 1: The Young Man

Loneliness is all I could think of. Ever since my memories came back into this cruel head of mine, I realized I wasn't treated the same as before. My squad refuses to look or interact with me for they fear for the worst. The whole CCG, even the death god himself, had given me that look of disappointment and considered me as a failure.

I clutched my fully-colored white hair, and laughed to myself.

"Why am I even here?"

My name is Sasaki Haise. I am 22 years old and I have no home. My parents are dead. I have no one else to turn to. I don't know where my friends are, but I can tell you this: If you were to write a story about me, it would certainly be a tragedy because I am a ghoul.

When I was released by the CCG, I decided to run away. With all the savings I saved, I decided to escape this wretched city of Tokyo and start anew in North America. Without any trouble, I safely reached the city of New York, specifically Manhattan. Once I arrived, I realized the population itself is tremendous. In the streets, all I could see are yellow taxi cabs as well as the people of New York.

"Perfect. I can finally blend in." I thought to myself.

I decided to stick with the name Arima had given me but I know it would certainly bring back horrible memories. With the luggage I was carrying, I proceeded to walk. As I continued walking, the voice in my head came back to haunt me.

"What are you going to do Haise? You have nowhere to go. And besides, you're new to this place, how are you going to find a new home?"

I stopped in the middle of the crosswalk, and for once, the voice inside was right. Where am I to go? How am I supposed to live in this new city? I shook my head and proceeded to walk on.

From behind, I heard a little girl asked something to her mother, "Mommy, why is that man's hair white? He looks awfully young to me."

"Now, now Lily. You mustn't judge other people okay?" the mother replied.

"Ok, mommy."

I smiled. Just hearing the little girl reminded me of Hinami and her mother. A tear escaped from my left eye for I truly missed my so-called little sister.

"Maybe someday I will see them again."

As I walked through the streets of Manhattan, I heard a commotion that is coming from one alley. I stopped to look into the dark abyss of the alley as if I was expecting a ghoul or one of the CCG investigators. Without further ado, I went into the alley to investigate the noise. With my kakugan activated and with my kagune behind me, I proceeded with caution. Because of my enhance smell, I smelled a very different scent. It is definitely not a ghoul or a human. It is not an animal too.

Curiosity stricken me as I went deeper into the dark alley. With one more step to reach the end, I noticed a growl of some creature is directing at me. I turned around and all I see is a tall bull-looking creature standing above me. His red eyes are locked into mine, and his nostrils are producing with intense steam. I gulped with no satisfaction since I never faced such creature. With a huge roar, the bull-looking creature charged at me with his horns. I managed to block his move with my kagune but I never realized he was this strong. Not too long ago, I know I've read something about this creature in one of the stories that had innumerable strength but clearly he was defeated by some great demigod in Greek mythology.

A light bulb came out of my head as I realized it was a Minotaur that I'm fighting with.

"Wait, a Minotaur? How are they real?"

I dodged the Minotaur's attack again and this time I fought back. The Minotaur seemed confused for he had never seen a kagune before. With my kagune, I jumped and attacked the Minotaur with all of my strength. The bull-looking creature seemed to block it again and again every time I attack.

"Why is it not working?" I thought with frustration.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a man that is about the age of 18 with jet black hair and sea-green eyes attacked the Minotaur with a bronze-looking sword. The Minotaur was caught in surprise for he never expected the young man. The man in the orange shirt seemed to know what he is doing, and thus I tried to give much space as possible for him to charge the Minotaur. I watched the whole show and out of confusion, I noticed one hand is raised from the young man and it is pointed at the Minotaur. He started to chant something and I realized water pipes from the building started to burst. I gaped at the sight of the water swirling around the young man and eventually shot the Minotaur with incredible power. I regained my posture as the Minotaur was thrown into the wall. The young man approached the bull-looking creature and stabbed the Minotaur, turning him into dust.

"Whew! Glad that's over," the man said while wiping his brow.

I remained silent and watched him turned his attention to me. My kagune is still out in the open and so is my kakugan. The young man seemed amazed of my power and for the first time, relief washed over me.

"Wow, that's some pretty sick power you got there," he said.

"Thanks," I replied simply, "Anyway, I also want to thank you for defeating that creature for me. For some reason my powers cannot defeat the Minotaur. Why is that?"

"Wait, how'd you know it was a Minotaur? And to answer your question, only weapons made of celestial bronze or imperial gold can defeat such creatures."

"To answer your question also, I read a lot of Greek mythology."

The young man in the orange shirt smiled at me. Eventually, he told me his name is Percy Jackson and said that he lives around here. He asked me if I was staying at someone's house and I replied with a no. With the joyful expression upon his face, he invited into his home. Gradually, I met his mother, Sally Jackson, and just the sight of her reminds me of my mother.

"Hey mom! I'd like you to meet Haise. Do you mind if he can stay for a couple of days till we go to camp? He just moved here from Japan, and he has nowhere to go," Percy asked his mother.

"Sure why not. Plus it's a perfect timing for you guys to arrive and enjoy some delicious meal," his mother said, "Haise, I'll be readying your room while you're eating your dinner."

"Oh no it's okay, I'm not that hungry. I just ate on the plane and I'm still stuffed from the plane food," I replied while waving both of my hands.

"Are you sure?"I nodded in response with a smile on my face.

"Alright then. Percy, do you mind if you help me with the guest room for just a moment?"

"Sure," Percy said while chewing on his food.

While they readied my room, I decided to look around. I realized in all of the family pictures I've seen, Percy is only living with his mom. Eventually, I see myself in him. As I continue to browse through the shelf, I came upon another picture frame. On the picture was a man, probably in his thirties or forties, with jet black hair, sea-green eyes, and was wearing a beach-themed shirt.

"I assumed this was his father."

While my gaze is still upon the picture, a voice called out from behind

"That's my father Poseidon," Percy said with his arms crossed.

"Wait, Poseidon? You mean the god of the seas?" I asked.

"Yup! Since you figured out that the Minotaur you fought back there was real, I might as well tell you my story."

I was quiet and just looked at him as if he was crazy.

"I know, I know. You think what I'm saying about my father being a god is crazy and not real, but to tell you the truth, the stories from the Greek mythology and the gods and titans are all true and real to be fact. The Olympian gods reside in the top floor of the Empire State Building."

I sighed and responded back to the young man, "Alright, I believe you. Now tell me your story."

Percy beamed, and we all sat in the living room, sharing our stories to one another. Maybe for the first time, I can trust him.

"So, Haise, now that I have finished my life story, care to tell me yours?"

I hesitated at first but I decided to share my life as a human and my life as a ghoul.

"Well first, since you have seen my powers, might as well tell you what I am really. I am a ghoul, an artificial one-eyed ghoul. And I eat humans to preserve my hunger – "

"Whoa, hold on a sec. You eat humans?" Percy suddenly asked with astonishment on his face.

I nodded in shame and I continued, "Well before, I used to be a human. But then an accident occurred in which I damaged my organs. Apparently, a doctor, or should I say a mad-doctor, successfully saved me, but at the same time, he experimented on me and turned me into a ghoul."

Percy relaxed back into his chair and looked at me with sorrow.

"While I was a human, I lived only with my mom. My father died when I was about four years old, so I never really remembered anything about him nor his appearance, but one thing's for sure is that I inherited his love of reading books."

I stopped for a moment and looked at Percy along with his mother who happens to be listening to my story.

"As of now being a ghoul, I'm all alone. I lost my friends, the CCG had abandoned me, and I don't know what to do. I have no home," I whispered at the last sentence.

Mrs. Jackson looks like she was about to burst into tears, but Percy just looked at me with a questioning look on his face.

"Haise, you said you're father died when you were very young?"

"Yes, that's correct," I eyed him.

"Would it be possible that he's still alive, or rather the fact that he is actually alive?"

My eyebrows rose when he mentioned this.

Percy continues, "Think about it. When I was young, I was told that my father had died at sea, but apparently he's not. He just so happens to be god."

"So, are you saying that my father is a god?" I asked. "I see where he was going with this."

"Well, we don't know yet. We can find out once we get to camp."

"Wait what camp?" Percy started walking, and then he stopped to turn.

"A safe haven for the demigods. It is called Camp Half-Blood. In the west of the United States, there is also another demigod camp which is called, Camp Jupiter, but that was the Roman counterpart," He said.

A few days have gone by since I first fought the Minotaur. Over those days, Percy and I have encountered many monsters and we have to fight them off. Percy did warn me that the monsters will come and hunt for demigods based on the smell. Apparently, more monsters will come, if any child is a child of one of the Big Three, and as a result, we encountered more than ever since Percy is the child of the Sea. When it comes to fighting these guys, my kagune is no of use since only celestial bronze or imperial gold can puncture these creatures. I felt guilty for the most part since Percy had to fight for my battles. It was truly embarrassing for a guest.

Once we're done fighting, Percy asked me something out of the blue,

"Why is your hair white?"

"Huh?" I turned to him while I was sweating from all of the fighting.

"I said why is your hair white? Does it resemble anything?"

"O-Oh no. My hair used to be black, but then during the torture of Yamori, my hair turned white because of heavy stress and burden. I guess it did resemble something. On that night, I lost my innocence when I first killed someone and feast upon his flesh. My hair is the evidence for that."

"Ah. Well, I like it. The symbolism itself reflects truly upon your hair."

I smiled, "Thanks."

As we finished the business with these creatures, we packed and headed to the safe haven in which Percy described as a second home.
