I'm going to say this once I don't have any claim over Tokyo Ghoul.
Warning this is a tragedy so there will be a lot of sadness.
"I'm sorry Yuki", Kaneki mumbled next to me.
Cold and empty that is what I felt as I sat in the middle of the road holding him close to me. Snow had started to fall but I paid it no attention. I stared down at his peaceful form, tears cascading down my face to land on his cheeks. Why did it have to turn out like this? The one person that I had fallen in love with was gone. "You promised me Hide. You promised me that you wouldn't get hurt. You said that once this was over we could be together." I desperately wanted this to be a cruel joke that he was playing on me, waiting for him to start moving any minute now and kiss me. Reassuring me that everything was okay, but I knew I was lying to myself. His heart had stopped beating for quite a while now. He was never going to open those warm kind eyes again. Those same eyes that had shown me another brighter side to life. Why does this always happen to me?
14 years ago…
In the 20th ward late at night two people were running for their lives. They had luckily only seen the woman and not her daughter. Seeing a small dark area near a wall with a whole bunch of wood panels the woman picked her daughter up and carried her over and placed her down.
"Mama! What's happening?"
"Yuki you're going to have to be a good girl and stay hidden here okay. Just like how those guys were chasing daddy they're chasing mama."
"She went down this ally," a loud gruff voice said.
"Stay quite. I'll be back before the sun is up." Quickly placing a board of wood over her daughter's hiding place she took off again.
"There she is, the Butterfly!" They ran right past without giving a single glance toward the girl's hiding place. Soon the sound of footsteps slowly started to fade away before the alleyway became silent. Doing exactly what she was told to do Yuki stayed there all night in silence waiting for her mother to appear again but two hours after the sun had risen there was still no sign of her.
"Mama", she sobbed. "Where are you?" Yawing in exhaustion after having stayed up all night she soon fell asleep. However what the mother and daughter didn't know was that the wood panels were a part of a construction project that was going on in the building that Yuki was currently lying beside. Too deep into dreamland the girl never heard the footsteps approach.
