FNF 1

I do not own Tokyo Ghoul.

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Kairi sighed as she stared out of the window of her family's small car. They were moving again. Her parents were investigators for the CCG, they hunted Ghouls. And they just got moved to the 4th ward. "Are we there yet?" She asked as they turned down another road. A lot of the houses seemed to be falling apart, but they were still livable.

"Just a few more blocks." Her father noted as the houses started to look better and better. "We got a house this time."

In the 15 years of Kairi's life, she had lived in 15 different parts of the city. And she could only remember 3 houses. "Yay." She cheered half heartedly. "Lots of Ghouls here?" Her parents were a strong team, they usually only got sent to wards that really needed their help. But they usually lived one ward away.

"No, they are spread out in the area." Her mother stated while looking back at her. "But we still need you to be careful. Okay?"

"Yeah mom, I get it." Her parents had been teaching her about Ghouls and the dangers of them all of her life. She could probably spot a Ghoul before some of the newbies out of the academy. The only difference was that she didn't have any way of fighting off a Ghoul.

"Here we are." Kairi hopped out of the car at her father's announcement. She stared up at the normal looking house. There was a 6 foot high wall around the house with an iron gate around it. It looked just like all of the other houses on the block. "Let's go take a look. Everything should have already been brought in." Kairi followed her parents into the house.

Inside the house was rather normal looking. All of their furniture had been moved the previous day while they were staying with friends. And now it was all here. "Home." Kairi stated as she climbed the stairs to find her room. Her room ended up on the other side of the house from her parents and near the bathroom.

"We're going out to the store." Kairi heard her mother call from downstairs. Then the sound of the door shut the house into silence. Kairi waited till she heard the car drive away before heading back downstairs. She pulled her shoes on and headed outside.

The sun was still up and it looked like she had at least 4 hours of sunlight left. "Let's see what this place has to offer." Kairi smiled as she took off at a run down the road. She came up to a dead end, but that was fixed as she climbed up onto the wall. Kairi looked around and smiled as she found a path along the tops of the walls. She ran for at least an hour, climbing, and jumping till she ended up on top of an apartment building. "Not bad."

"What have you been doing?" Kairi spun around and stared at a boy leaning against the water tank. A tall boy with short blond hair watched Kairi with curious eyes. "Not many people come up here." He slowly walked over to her and looked down at her. "Who are you? Haven't seen you around here before."

Kairi took a deep breath as she stepped away from the boy, he had gotten really close. "I just moved here. I was just looking around. If you want me to leave I-"

"Stay." Kairi stared at the boy as he sat on the edge of the building. "You're probably better company than the other person that comes around." The boy patted the spot beside him. "Sit down. You're still catching your breath."

Kairi froze at his statement, a human wouldn't have known that. "I should get back. My parents don't like me being out." She turned to leave, but stopped when she noticed another boy, this one with white hair. "Hi. I was just leaving."

"You play with food now?" Kairi froze at the white haired boy's words. He basically confirmed that they were both Ghouls. "She's a bit of a twig."

"She's not food." The blond boy stated as he rested his arm on top of Kairi's head. "I was having a conversation with her." Kairi looked between the two boys as they glared at each other.

"You two don't get along do you?" Kairi asked out loud. She froze as they both stared at her. "It's kind of obvious, but at the same time, you two tolerate each other."

"We share a roof." The white haired boy stated as he walked past the two. "And who are you?"

"Name's Kairi." Kairi stated while trying to get out from under the blond's arm, but he just moved with her. "Can you please take your arm off of my head?" She glared up at the blond boy. Her face blanked as she noticed his eyes had changed. They were no longer white with blue irises, they were now black with red irises. 'Beautiful.' Was all she could think of as she stared at his eyes.

"See something you like?" The boy teased, causing Kairi to blush and look away. "Your head is comfy. My names Uta, Kairi-chan." Uta smirked as the girl crossed her arms and chewed on her lip, she was kind of cute when she was angry. "And that stick in the mud is Yomo-kun."

"Who said you could give her my name?" Yomo growled at Uta. "Who's to say she won't go the the Doves and tell them about us?" He walked up to the two and glared down at the girl beside Uta. "It's safer to just get rid of her."

"Not when my parents are Doves." Kairi muttered loud enough for them to hear. "And recently relocated to boot." She noticed the two boys tense almost instantly. "But you don't have to worry, I won't tell. Then I would be alone again."

"You don't have friends?" Uta asked as he took his arm off of Kairi's head. She looked so sad, and she was very calm for being in the presence of two Ghouls. "But you know what we are and what we can do, why aren't you scared?"

Kairi shrugged as she walked over to the edge of the building. "I've met Ghouls before. All they ever wanted to do was be normal, fit in with everyone else. One of my best friends was a Ghoul, I invited her to my house once. My parents went on a raid that night. Her parents were killed while she was sleeping over. My parents rushed home and sent my friend away. I never heard from her again."

"They killed her." Yomo stated as he glared at the girl. "You sent your friend to her death."

"I was 5!" Kairi shouted as she spun around. She froze as she found Yomo right in front of her. "I knew what happened to her the moment my parents told me she was a Ghoul. I've lived with that!" She glared up at the boy that was nearly a foot taller than her. "I may not know what your life has been like so far, but neither do you."

The two stared at each other before Uta pulled Kairi away from the edge. "I think we've socialized enough. Shall I walk you home? The sun will be setting soon." He kept himself between Kairi and Yomo, Yomo seemed a bit tense. "You better be gone when I get back."

"Bite me." Yomo stated as he sat back down on the edge of the building.

Kairi looked away from Yomo as Uta lead her down the side of the building. "Do you live around here?"

Uta nodded as he jumped down to the ground. He looked back up the two stories he had fallen. "Not far. You coming?"

"Are you kidding?" Kairi asked as she stared down at him. "If I try that I'll die, or break something."

"I'll catch you." Kairi stared at Uta in shock. "Trust me." Kairi looked around to try and find a route down, jumping would certainly be the fastest way down. "Kairi, trust me." She met Uta's red eyes and took a deep breath, then jumped off of the roof. She shut her eyes the moment her feet left the concrete. She opened them when she landed in a pair of arms. "See, easy."

Kairi let her breath out when she saw Uta had indeed caught her. She looked behind him and spotted claw-like things coming form his back. As well they were falling back to the ground, but Uta landed as thought he had just taken a step down.

Uta chuckled as Kairi stared at his kagune. "Never seen a kagune before?"

"Not like this. It's amazing." Uta set Kairi on the ground as she continued to marvel at it. "I've seen kagune before, but that's after they've been manufactured into a Quinque." She ran a hand over the claw shaped appendages.

"Nice phrasing." Uta commented as he retracted his kagune. "Which way to your place?"

"This way." Kairi began walking along the road she had followed while running along wall tops. It was fairly easy to get home. She stopped just before they turned the corner. "I'm just around the corner. Thank you for walking me home."

"Don't want me to see your house?" Uta asked in curiosity. So far Kairi had been fairly open with sharing things. "Scared I'll come eat you in the middle of the night?" It chuckled as Kairi's face reddened as her head snapped up to look at him. "Perverted much? But if that's what you want-"

"It's not!" Kairi shouted while turning away from the Ghoul. "More like my parents screen everyone I try and make friends with. I don't want you getting caught." She looked back at Uta and saw him nodding with an amused look on his face. "I'll see you around?"

"Count on it, Kairi-chan." Uta gave the girl a wink. "Now run along home little bird."

"I'm not a dove." Kairi gave Uta a small glare. He just chuckled and ruffled her hair. Once he was done she sighed as she fixed her hair and finished her walk home. Looking back she noticed a figure standing on the roof across the street. It was gone in a blink, leaving Kairi wondering if it had really been there.

Kairi shook her head as she walked into her house. She found her parents in the kitchen making dinner. "Hey, what's cooking?"

"Curry." Kairi's mom stated while she dished out rice. "Did you have a nice walk? What's the neighborhood like?"

"Just like every other neighborhood mom." Kairi helped her father set the table while her mother finished serving the food. "And the walk was very nice. I think I'm going to like it here."

And there is the start. Let me know what you thought of it.

And feel free to ask questions if you would like me to explain things.

And yes I made up Uta's kagune, because it is never shown. Or I haven't found it yet. So any help with that would be lovely. Thank you!
