I am back from the dead, well that is what it feels like. I have just read all of Tokyo Ghoul and inspiration hit me from nowhere. I will not stop working on In Search of the Heart but the person I had working on it with me has left town so I may be a bit longer on the next chapter. Anyway this is not a Harry is Kaneki or any such nonsense. I will be working on this for a little while and I hope you enjoy as I have.

I do not own anything from Tokyo Ghoul or Harry Potter.

Thanks and please review, I enjoy all criticism.

My name is Karasu Rei and I live in the Twentieth Ward of Tokyo Japan. I have just entered my freshman year at Kamii University, to be honest I am rather nervous. Just recently I moved from the First Ward of Tokyo and have no idea where anything is located. I found a magnificent coffee shop called Anteiku, the people within are a little eccentric but their coffee is divine. I have been frequenting the little shop for the past month only sampling their coffee and while I sip at the nectar with a different book in front of me each day. I do not realize how my life is about to drastically change.

A young man of eighteen years of age sat down at a table, his hand swiftly opened a book labeled De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem.

"Hey Kirishima-san, can you get me a coffee, black today please." The young man requested.

"Yeah I'll prepare one for you." A younger girl with dark blue hair that covers the right side of her face says. "Is today the day you will actually get something other than coffee?"

"No. No thanks I mean. Well I would but I am not that hungry. Maybe tomorrow, right?"

"Keep this up and your blood will have more caffeine then our coffee." The waitress walked away in order the bring the jet haired teen his drink.

The young man who sits alone reading an obscure medical book is none other than Karasu Rei, when standing he stands at 1.83 meters and weighs 83 kilos. His hair is untamed, shoulder length, and jet black. Eyes of emerald stare intently through round framed glasses at the slightly archaic but still relevant marvel of medical knowledge. His pale skin was in sharp contrast to the molted blue scarf he wears on top of a pitch black shirt.

"Here you go." Kirishima set the coffee on the table before walking to another table to deal with a strange blonde haired kid and an introverted black haired teen.

He takes the coffee and sniffs at the scent before taking a sip. 'As always this is fabulous,' he thinks before calling out. "As great as ever, thank you Kirishima-san." The girl looks his way before walking off.

"So, what is your name?" A young woman about the teen's age sits in front of him. She has long royal purple hair and wearing some unobtrusive rectangular glasses. She is wearing a blue sleeved shirt underneath a simple yet elegant white dress.

"Oh…um…sorry. My name is Karasu Rei; might I ask your name." at hearing the name the girl's eyes widened a bit in shock but any motion was replaced with curiosity.

"Hello, I am Kamishiro Rize." She extended her hand and Rei took it in a lighthearted handshake. "I'm sorry but I saw you were reading De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem and I knew I just had to find out more about the person reading it." Shock was in Rei's eyes as no one had ever approached him in such a manner.

"Oh no…your quite fine…I mean it's alright…I am so sorry, I'm horrid at first impressions." Rei bowed his head only to look up when he hears the melodious giggle of Rize. He sees her amused and he thinks to himself, 'well I guess as first impressions go, it has not been my worst.' She stops laughing lightly and turns to Rei.

"Why don't we go out tonight; I know of a good restaurant not too far from here. It has some great food and we can learn more about each other. So, what do you say?" She looked expectantly at Rei who choked on some coffee he was drinking.

"Yeah, I'd love to."

"Great, you know what it is almost four o'clock, let's go now." Rize stood up and grabbed Rei who only had enough time to through more money on the table than was due before he was dragged out of Anteiku, leaving behind his book.

Rei who was struggling to keep up with Rize missed the apprehensive looks on the face of Kirishima. When Rei finally regained his composure he stepped in line with Rize as they walked to the restaurant. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, they arrived and were seated in the slightly overpriced eatery. Rize ordered a small salad whilst Rei ordered some coffee and a sandwich. They spoke amicably about each other and the books each other had read, comparing list of books and pastimes.

Rei learned that Kamishiro enjoyed learning from obscure text but also loved fiction. Whilst Rize learned is that Rei has just started school at Kamii and is going for degrees in chemistry and physics as well as the fact the Rei is left hand dominant.

At the end of the night all food and drink was devoured by both, Rize however suddenly stood up. "I'm sorry but I will be right back." She walked briskly towards the bathrooms leaving behind a slightly confused Rei.

"Well that was unexpected." He spoke to himself before realizing that it was already getting dark outside. Checking his watch, he seemed shocked at the time. "I can't believe it has been four hours." He looked up and saw that Rize had returned.

"Sorry about the abruptness. It's getting late shall we leave." She said in a joyful manor.

"Yes, if you don't mind, would you…would you let me walk you home?" Rei asked uncertainly, hoping the beauty would say yes.

"Oh my, what a gentleman, of course I don't mind." I don't liven to far from here but we will have to take the train to get to there." She smirked at his gleeful look.

"I guess we should leave now." Rei responded, they walked out of the restaurant and Rei soon found Kamishiro on his arm, leaving the teenager redder than a pomegranate. They soon made it on to the train and once again in comfortable silence they waited. Not long after they departed and Rize led Rei to a fork in the streets.

"So which way do we go?" Rei asked seeing the two paths, one well lit and to the left while the other is dark, dingy and to the right.

"My house is not too far from here it is just faster if we cut through here." Rize said pointing to the dark alley.

"Um…ok, well come on then." Rei led the way down the alley but noticed that it was slowly fading into a construction site. He then noticed that the constant pressure on his right arm was gone. "Um Kamishiro-san…" He looked around but did not see her, "AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Rei felt pain in his left arm like he has never felt before. It felt like plunging several serrated knives into his skin before ripping them out. The next thing he realized was that Rize no longer had brown eyes but her pupils are crimson and her sclera are ink black. "I should have known…a ghoul…I thought maybe you were decent…but no, you had to take a bite out of my arm…Damn that hurts."

"Really you are not running in terror or screaming about how unfair life is or even begging for your life. I really like the begging you know." Rize said in a blasé manor. Rei just stared at the female ghoul. "I guess that is what I should expect from the brother of the White Reaper Kishou Arima. You taste wonderful by the way."

"Well I guess there goes my background, though why me Ms. Binge Eater? I am no one important, not even my brother cares enough about my wellbeing beyond simple the extent of my own self-protection." Rei despite the strong words was completely terrified, he could not fight the S Class ghoul on his own, he could try though.

"You had such a delectable scent on you at the coffee shop that I could not resist meeting you, but when you told me your name I knew I just had to have you. I was not wrong, you are delicious." Rize licked the blood off of her fingers and her lips. "You know if you…" Before she could finish what she was saying Rei charged Rize quickly and kicked her in the stomach, it did not do anything besides annoy her. As was relevant when each of her six rinkaku speared Rei through the stomach. "I was going to kill you quickly, but now…" Once again she gets cut off but this time it is not from Rei. Steel beams from over one hundred meters fall on top of her at terminal velocity fatally wounding her. This is the last thing that Rei sees before he passes out.

"Step aside girl, I will not kill you if you hand over the child."

"Stay away from him, I would never give you Harry."

"Very well. Avada Kedavra!"

Well I hope you all enjoyed chapter one of the Emerald Ghoul.

Please review and I hope to finish chapter two sooner rather than later.
