Hunger.
All she wanted.. was something-no-someone to feast upon.
Emerald optics slowly but surely opening, her ankles and wrists harshly bound with rusted metal stomach aching with such immense pain the rather miniscule female groaned loudly as saliva oozed from her gapped mouth making its way onto her exposed flesh.
Sakura.
Thats it,
That was her name, but.. the train of thoughts abruptly halted to a stop.
"We send her to the 20th ward. She's nothing but another hunger crazed Ghoul, no good would come of her anyhow."
"But-"
"Send her back. Those are my orders."
Sakura's vision soon vanished as she once again passed out.
...
The hunger was gone, though.. she knew it would return.
Sakura arose from her slumber eyes lazily dragging upon the water soaked concrete, the sound of humming motors to squealing tires soon caused the petite girl to look up as she was greeted by blinding amounts of lights, blue and green hues melting into the musky atmosphere..
Where was she?
What was she?
She questioned herself.
By her understanding the voices she had picked up during the time had pronounced the maiden to be a Ghoul? It carried no sense of memory, nothing did.
So lost and dazed she hadn't even took notice to dark haired male that stood before her, shifting her optics she locked gazes with him.
He jumped slightly quietly choking out simple words,
"Are.. you alright..?"
"No."
She bluntly replied.
"..u..m.. do you need help?"
"..."
Sakura did need help..and as hell if she wasn't going to take it.
Downcasting her optics, she only nodded.
"..a..lright.. I'm Kaneki Ken.. what about you?"
"Sakura."
"Do you not have a last name?"
"I have no memories."
Kaneki stiffened quickly though he quickly decided to dispatch the train of thought.
"This can wait.. we need to get you out of here before a Ghoul finds you."
Sakura's orbs widened at the word, "A Ghoul?"
"Ghouls yes- you.. you don't know what a Ghoul is either?"
She shook her head no, instead of questioning the girl further he only sighed in relief, 'good-' his mind rang out, 'that must mean she's not one of them..' 'even if she was.. she looks pretty beat up.'
Extending a hand the boy shot her a warm smile, "I don't have much knowledge on them, but I can try my best to explain them to you."
Gently taking a hold of the offered hand her body was hoisted forward.. Knees fairly weak as they buckled underneath her weight, "I've got you.." he grunted lowly hand gripping the girl's waist.
...
Why..
Why did she trust him?
Why was he so kind to her?
Questions.
Questions..
Only to be unanswered.
Though she thanked him for being so,
Kind.
A L?
"..ghouls," "are a carnivorous and cannibalic species that are only able to feed on humans and/or other ghouls. They are as close to humans as possible: They normally have the same physical appearance and intelligence as a human with the exception of diet, mentality and inner biology. If certain rare conditions are met, ghouls and humans may even be able to have offspring.." Kaneki paused, inhaling sharply,
"There's more I can read you.." he offered, Sakura only sat there dumbfounded, her lack of memories now really starting to bug her, before she knew it a throbbing pain ignited within her head- Great, just what she needed a headache.
"I think I understand now." Sakura lied.
Kaneki just nodded, "Is there.. anything you need? Food? Something to drink?"
"Sleep." Aggravation was all she felt, Sakura wanted to cry out, pull her hair, punch something..
She felt trapped, alone, confused.
What was she?!
What the hell was a Ghoul?
All she wanted now was something to rest on despite the awful scent she carried due to the lack of bathing, she really stunk of old clothes and rotted flesh that's when she turned her gaze toward Kaneki, had he not noticed it? Or had he just kept quiet for her well-being?
The boy had been lost in thought, "A.. place to rest.. uhm.. I only have one bed, I-"
"And one couch, I can sleep there."
He inwardly sighed, "Okay, I'll grab you a blanket." he sat up then and started toward his room.
'Oh.. God, what have you gotten yourself into this time Kaneki?' 'A complete stranger in your house..' 'possibly a Ghoul.' Every time he looked at her, he couldn't shake that unwanted vibe that lingered upon her.. A Ghoul.. What if she was one?
Soon returning he handed Sakura an old blanket he managed to find, "I'll be in my bedroom.. If you need anything.. I'll be here."
Sakura only stared blankly, "Thanks.. Kaneki."
...
...
"You're welcome, Sakura."
...
No last name.
No memories.
Nothing.
That word though, that one word, a Ghoul?
Was she really a Ghoul?
A/N: OOKkay wow I actually finished this.
As this story continues I'm slowly going to morph Sakura into a really-lets just say- mean character, very blunt and smart-assy.
VerY OOC.
Ok OK
Now to the important part- Romance.
I prefer Sakura to stay single, but I actually want to add a little romance not too much though.
IF Sakura was to be paired with someone who would you like? I honestly have no clue.
ANYWAY, I hope you enjoyed my Fic.
Until next time,
