Wassup everyone! Name's Shiki and I'm American (I dunno why I told you that). I'm new to this site and all so Imma get to the point... Shout out to Azumiya Satsuki. I was reviewing on her book 'You never knew me, neither did i' I wrote something about me always thinking of Karma Akabane as a ghoul sooooo I thought, 'Hey Imma write about that! So first fanfiction on this site! Please read! And check out my wattpad, my username is derpfacesbeawesome. Anyway (enough of being weird)... Welcome to Ghost!

It was a calm, cool, autumn afternoon. The tree's leaves were blowing in the wind, the sun was setting on the horizon. It was a perfect afternoon. Or it would be perfect... If a certain redhead wasn't so hungry. He couldn't eat at school, that's give him away, and he doesn't want to eat his friends. It was too lively at this part of town, there was bound to be witnesses. He knew he'd have to wait if he wanted to eat, so he decided to go to Anteiku. It wouldn't completely satisfy his hunger, but a cup of coffee would make him feel a little better.

'Starvation is utter hell for ghouls'. He knew this as all other ghouls did, too. Those words replayed in his mind over and over again. If he didn't eat soon he'd go berserk.

"I don't want that," He whispered to himself. The boy sighed. "Why is hunger such hell..."

He opened the door of the coffee shop, Anteiku, and walked in. The waiters/waitresses greeted him kindly, and the smell of humans hit him. To him it smelled good. There was lots of people there today, but he had to stay calm and under control. So he took a deep breath and looked around for a place to sit.

He found a spot next to a purple-haired girl.

"What can I get you?" The waitress, Touka, asked him. She was a friend of his, as well as the other employees and manager.

"Um, a coffee, please," He replied.

"Hmm, okay, Karma." Her face tilted to the side in confusion.

"What is it?" Karma asked.

"Nothing, it's just... Have you eaten anything yet? You're looking pale." She whispered that last part.

He shook his head. "No, I'm going to eat something tonight, though."

As Touka walked away a certain scent hit him. It was blood. He glanced over to the girl next to him. It was coming from her. Why does she smell like blood?! He took in a deep breath to keep himself under control. Then the coffee he ordered was put in front of him. He released his breath and took a sip. The smell of blood never left. To be honest it got stronger. He covered his eyes in case they changed color. What the heck?! He sighed and took another sip of his coffee. But he couldn't take it anymore. He could snap at any moment. That smell of blood could trigger his eyes or kagune, and he just couldn't risk it. The hungry redhead immediately left money at his seat and left without further trace.

Once he had gotten out of that shop he had stopped to catch his breath in a nearby alleyway. He was knelt down covering his eyes and praying that nobody would come down here. But that pray was apparently overlooked.

"Whatcha doing in here?" a voice called out.

He turned his head to find the host of the voice. All that was found was that purple-haired girl from the coffee shop. Of all the people in there it just had to be this one? He didn't answer, out of fear. Fear for what could happen to this girl if she came any closer.

"Hello?" She asked walking up to him, "Are you okay? You look kinda pale..."

She just had to walk closer, huh? Am I being ignored? He knew if he didn't say anything she'd start suspecting him, and well... We couldn't have that, now could we? Karma took in a deep breath and stood up from his spot to look at the girl.

"I'm fine," He said with his usual smile, "Just hungry."

Her face perked up at the word 'hungry'. She smiled. "Oh, really? Hungry for what? Flesh?" She asked sadisticly. Karma nodded involuntary. The minute he did his eyes changed and widened.

"You're a ghoul, aren't you?" She asked pointing at his eyes , "Me too." Having said that her eyes changed, too. Seeing the evidence, Karma immediately calmed down.

"So the blood I smell from you isn't because you were human.. It was because of the humans you've consumed earlier.."

She nodded looking at her arm. "Guess I didn't get all the blood off." She put her arm down and looked up at Karma. "You're really sharp, y'know? Most ghouls wouldn't smell it so easily.."

"Some ghouls can smell it when they're on the brink of starvation," Karma said looking really ticked off.

"Oh," The girl whispered, "Oh! That means the reason you took off back there was because you needed to keep yourself under control, right?"

Karma nodded, irritated. "I thought ghouls could tell if there was another ghoul nearby."

"If that's the case how come you didn't know I was one, hm?"

"My senses are all jacked up. I'm hungry, remember?"

She sighed. "Well then I guess I could help you.." She stuck her hand out and smiled, "I'm Rize Kamishiro, and you are?" Karma stared at the girl named Rize. Are you serious? He thought, You've got to be kidding me. He sighed. What could go wrong?

"Karma Akabane. It's good to meet you... Rize."

Few months later (HUGE timeskip)

The bell had rung in it's usual tune, at it's usual time like it has all day, every day.

"Karma," a voice said, "Karma, wake up!"

Karma's head perked up off his desk. A dark-haired boy stood next to the redhead's desk.

"Oh, hey Isogai.. Was I asleep again?"

Isogai shook his head. "No, but you were about to. I'm glad I said something before you could, though."

Karma sighed. He had nearly fallen asleep in class again. Rize and him had been going out late, so he hasn't gotten any sleep. Karma was hungry again. It had been two months since his last meal with Rize. Rize wanted to eat today anyway. He could eat something when they went out, so he decided to come out of his hunger, not his worry.

"Hey, Karma!"(Wow, is he hearing things or what? :-P)

Karma turned his head towards the crowd of students next to his desk. The one speaking to him was Nagisa.

"Oh, 'sup Nagisa," Karma replied with a smile.

"Listen, we're all going to go eat at Isogai's cafe. Want to come?"

Karma smirked. "Sorry I already have plans to eat with a friend of mine."

Rio broke through the crowd the minute she heard that. "A friend, huh? Is it a girl? Are you going on a date?" She said smirking.

Karma sighed. Typical Rio. "Yes, a girl. Her name is Rize. And no it's not a date."

Karma and Rize were definitely not dating. They were just... Hunting buddies. Is that a good way to describe it?

"Rize, huh? Is she cute?" Maehara popped in.

Typical Maehara. Flashbacks of her eating replayed in his mind. Cute? It wasn't cute, but it wasn't scary either. It was just... Weird. Binge eater.

"Sure..." Karma replied with a sigh.

"Oh, well, where are you two going?" Nagisa asked clearly worried about his friend.

"We're going to a restaurant near the Aqua building. Why?"

Nagisa blushed at Karma's question. "Well, I'm your friend. I don't want a friend of mine dating just anybody.."

"It's not a date, Nagisa. Trust me, we are definitely not dating."

"Yeah... Sure." And with that Nagisa walked away. Soon the others went and joined him.

"Have fun on your date, Karma!" Isogai said before going on his way.

Karma laughed. "It's not a date!"

Once everyone had left, Karma had to be sure Rize didn't trick him (Because she had a habit of doing that). He decided to call her before showing up, just in case. She picked up after the second ring.

{Oh! Karma! What's up?}

"Can you remind me where and when we're meeting up?"

{Why? You don't trust me?}

"Not fully.."

{Fine,} She laughed, {We meet at the back entrance of the Aqua building at four o'clock tonight, okay?}

"Yeah, thanks.. See you then."

And with that he hung up. He only decided to do this with her because she had a habit of getting into trouble when he wasn't around. He felt as if she was more of a sadist than he was. But then again, she was a binge eater, it's kinda her thing.

"Karma.." (More voices! XD).

Karma looked up from his phone and found Korosensei looking at him. "Oh, 'sup Teach," Karma said putting his phone in his pocket.

"Karma, have you been eating well lately?"

That question left Karma confused, but he didn't show it.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, you've been looking a little pale, Nagisa and several others had even complained about it. So... I was just wondering if you were eating right."

Nagisa thought I was pale? Am I? Was I really that noticeable?

"I'm fine Korosensei. Quit worrying about me."

Korosensei nodded and left his desk to go back to his office. That was close. He kept wondering why Korosensei and Nagisa thought he was pale. Has it really been that long since he had eaten? He had lost track.

It's a good thing I'm eating tonight, huh. Karma left without any other distractions and by the time he got to his house it was around 3:20. I should get ready to go. Karma didn't wear nor have a mask to cover his face like most ghouls, he just wore a cloak he had stuffed in the back of his closet.

"Rize, please don't make a mess.."

Time skip (Like about 30 minutes, or something)

Karma found Rize waiting by the back entrance of the Aqua building, just like she said.

"Well, hey," She greeted, "Ready to eat?"

Karma nodded. "I'll kill them and eat what I need to, then you can come in and do your thing," Karma said sighing.

Rize pushed the door opened and stepped aside so Karma could enter. Hesitantly, he did. Once Karma was inside he was quickly noticed by guards standing by the door.

"Hey kid, you're not allowed to be in here!"

"Yeah, get out before we call your parents!"

Karma sighed and released his kagune. He had quickly impaled the two and went for the guests inside. Once Karma had done what he needed to Rize had entered.

"Good job!" She praised.

"I'll go keep watch, come and get me when you're done, okay?" Karma said walking out.

"Ha, they call you the Ghost for a reason, huh? You're just like others describe you. In and out.."

Karma walked up the flight of stairs to get to the roof. Him and Rize had similar kagunes, so she could handle herself in times like this. Once he had gotten to the top he quickly spotted a metal beam hanging off the edge of the building's roof. He had walked across it to overlook the ground below. There was blue and red lights flashing everywhere along with the lights of the city. Pretty...

The redhead sighed and sat down on the metal beam watching over the city. He kept wondering why did it have to be this way? Why couldn't ghouls and humans just get along? Why were ghouls the way they were? As Karma looked down at the ground he saw chaos.

People running out of the building, police cars driving and parking at the building, and... Another ghoul?

Who the heck is that?

Karma couldn't see much from where he was. He leaned over the edge a little bit more. Dang... The prick already went inside. Karma jumped off the metal beam to the roof's floor. He dashed his way down the flight of stairs, and kicked open the doors in his way. He had to check on Rize. This time it was because he was worried.

Weird? Yeah, thought so. Please keep reading! Comments (Reviews), favourites, and follows appreciated! Peace! XD
