So, here I am, posting my first Tokyo Ghoul fanfic here and of course it has an OC as the main character. I do not like making this easy for me. Also I have to say that I suck at naming my characters, I mean, no names actually feel fitting to the characters in the end. But without furthr delaying, here it is, my try at writing something in an hour or two...

A ghoul, what exactly is a ghoul? I guess the definition would be a being that has the appearance of an original human but has no other way to ease their hunger than eating people. Yes, that covers everything a ghoul is, nothing more, nothing less. No matter what a ghoul does, they will have to hide themselves from the public so people don't hunt them down. A sad excistence if you stop to think about it. Still, ghouls exist and they walk side by side human beings. That's why I think that a future where human and ghoul would coexist is not impossible.

I guess this is the time I introduce myself. My name is Kazuki Ikehara and I was on my last year of high school. I had a family of my older brother and my parents. Oh, and one thing, we were all ghouls. My other family members had accepted the fact that ghouls have to think of humans as livestock to survive. I, on the other hand, could not stand killing others and eating something that was once a living human made me feel sick. I wanted to live like a human, that is why I kept going to school even though my brother dropped out as soon as he could. I just wanted to live without the blood of others on my hands. Was that really too much to ask?

I woke up that Monday morning at the same time I always did. The house we lived in was nothing special, just an old, a bit broken down, house. It was few miles to the city which was completely fine by us. A delicious scent reached my room, making my mouth water. It was something I had not had for ages. A raw piece of meat, just for me. Just for me to eat, to devour the flesh. No, I could not eat it, I would not become a monster who enjoys eating dead people. I walked down the stairs, every step took me closer to the source of the scent. My hunger grew with each passing second, I could feel it drilling a hole into my stomach.

"Hey, just in time Kazuki, we just found this dead corpse out there from a dark alley. Want a bite?" My brother asked, having already started eating his part of the flesh. His lips were bloody as he greeted me with a smile.

"No thanks, I am not hungry..." I lied, going into the small kitchen to get me a cup of coffee. Coffee was the only thing that let me keep my hunger in check, at least for the time it took me to drink it and leave for school.

"Kazuki, you know you have to eat eventually. I know how you feel about eating humans but it's not like you have any other chance, now do you? You have to eat to survive, for a ghoul to survive is to devour." my brother said, having gotten tired of trying to make me eat. My family had tried talking to me about how humans are here only to be devoured by us. It was a lie and they had nothing against humans, they were not that into killing either. They said that just to make me eat, they indeed were the best kind of family a ghoul could have.

"I said I am not hungry!" I said, going into the bathroom. I looked at the mirror, noticing my eyes that had turned into their red and black form. Those cursed eyes that were a sign of a ghoul. They were a pain to hide in public once they appeared. I looked at my face on the mirror until my eyes slowly returned to their normal brown color. I step out of the bathroom, walking out of the front door holding my breath so the delicious, no, disgusting, smell wouldn't reach my nose.

When I arrived to my classroom, I took my usual seat next to the door. I noticed some of the class, I believe the correct word is bullies even though I prered the wors assholes, walking into the classroom. They laughed loudly at something, probably at someone else's suffering. They looked at me and sneered at me.

"Hey Kazu dude

, we are all out of money, could you lend us some?" the biggest asshole of them all, Takeshi said with a smile that had no good intentions behind it. The other three of the group were the school whore Yuzuki, the dumb one with an IQ of a shoe Kaito, and of course the guy who does nothing but muscle training Akira. I usually did not think bad about other people but over the years these four had gotten the whole class into trouble more than once. Truth to be told, after evading other people since my earliest childhood, I was quite shy.

"Don't have any." I said and looked Takeshi's face with an unsure expression. I was not sure how to act when someone I didn't particularly like approached me. I prefered observing the high school life far away from other people not to get attention drawn toward myself. And if I got into a conflict with someone, I would just try to solve it with words. I did not like violence at all.

"Sure you have, you just don't want to give it to us!" he said, his words cold almost to the point of threatening me. I looked at him, thinking of something to say. It was true, I had no money with me, after all, ghouls got their food by killing others so buying it was unneeded.

"Nevermind, whatever you little shit" Takeshi finally said abd dropped the matter.

"What a little prick, no wonder he's always alone" Yuzuki said, earning a laughter from the rest of the group. I felt slightly insulted by the comment. The teacher closed the classroom's door, signing that the class had officially started. He walked to the front of the class and said in a matter of factly voice: "It has come to our attention that there have been multiple reported missing or dead persons around the school area. We think we may have a ghoul somewhere along us. So as your teacher I have to tell you to be careful not to get into any situations where you would be alone with anyone, even your best friend."

The whole class was shocked. Of course they didn't think that a ghoul might be in the school area. Humans generally think of ghouls as lesser beings with no right to live so why should they ever fear that something like that might appear in their lives. That's how I thought most of my classmates thought at the time. I was shocked to hear that they are already looking for a ghoul. If they went deep enough, they would find out about me and my family and... No, they wouldn't be able to do that, I didn't stand out at all. But if they were able to do it, what the hell would happen then?

It's simple, I should kill them

A thought ran through my head, making me forget anything else. What the hell was that, I didn't think like that, I could never kill anything! I was human for fuck's sake! At least, that's what I wanted to believe.

I have to say, I am not entirely happy with this start... Writing from the first person's view was a challenge of sorts and some other things just bother me with this. I hope I can fix those things for the next chapter.
