Ummm I know I haven't updated in a long time and I wish I can make it up in some way. I have been extremely busy with Regent exams so I haven't been able to update. To make this up, I wrote a long chapter for both my Tokyo Ghoul stories. I hope you guys enjoy! Disclaimer: I don't own either series P.S.: Please go to bottom for important notes.

Chapter 2: Arrival

In a distant world, there stood a kingdom, the last human-ruled kingdom that is. Considered a safe haven where the last of humanity still stands, this kingdom is surrounded by huge, towering walls of brilliant white stones. The perfect image of a peaceful, prosperous nation, is it not?

This assumption couldn't have been more wrong. Behind the three grand walls, a dark and twisted nature resides within. This nation is built on cruelty and divine selfishness.

And deep inside the walls, a young man sat with his head down, in a wooden chair. From the angle we see him in, it is quite clear that his hair was a brilliant white. Oh wait, let there be a correction. This young man was not exacting sitting, as in leisurely relaxing, no, he was unwillingly strapped to it.

This man, whose name we all know as Kaneki Ken, is currently unconscious. Judging from the slight bulge on the back of his head, we can guess how he came to be in such a situation.

What a silly man, to mess with the Military only lands you stuck between a rock and a hard place, many thought. But there is, as always when it came to this man, a catch. He came in, knowing he could easily get out. It all depends on his choice, does it not?

A light groan escaped Kaneki's mouth. His eyes fluttered open as he stirred awake. As his eyes took in his surroundings, he allowed himself a little chuckle. Had he been hanging around Tsukiyama too much? It wasn't like him to underestimate humans to the extent that he would actually allow himself to be captured.

Of course Kaneki had pondered about what would happen if this did happen, but he hated to admit that he did not actually think too much into it.

So what move do I make now? Kaneki furrowed his brow. Perhaps he really should have thought deeper into the consequences of his actions if he just went around carelessly flashing his kagune like it was some holiday.

Should I play human or just bust out? No, he couldn't play the role of an innocent human, they have already seen his, ah, "extra limbs".

But he couldn't just bust out either, as much as he hated being in this same goddamned chair from the pits of he -. Kaneki quickly shut out that thought. Instead he focused once again, on whether to get out this very moment and just rampage out of this prison or not.

He never got the chance to.

The large iron door that was clearly the exit creaked open. Kaneki quickly wiped his face of all emotion, his face morphing into a stone mask, and lifted his head up. A tall man with a ridiculous mustache along with a short, black-haired man strode in with an air of importance.

Kaneki made no comment or indication that he had registered their appearance. His eyes were stony cold and devoid of anything, to be honest. The black-haired man's eyebrows twitched upwards slightly, as if he was surprised about something. It, however, went unnoticed by most as the movement was ridiculously miniscule.

"Before we begin your interrogation, I highly suggest you cooperate with us. I do believe you know what the consequences are if you do not?" the short man said in a bored manner. His hands held a two-page document that was most likely the list of questions he would be asked.

Kaneki sharply nodded his apathetic expression still present as ever. Well, it appeared apathetic to his interrogators. He even showed no fear or nervousness as a metal tray was wheeled in.

A wide assortment of "toys" were present. Kaneki was briefly reminded of the bloody tray Yamori had showed him to install fear in him. The ones presented before him now were still not as frightening as Yamori's by a whole lot.

"Since you will most likely be dead by the end of this conversation, I'll introduce myself," the shorter of the two men stated as if he was reciting lines. Kaneki thought that this man was quite like him in some ways. He was also short, cold, and poker-faced practically 24/7.

"I am Squad Leader Levi Ackerman of the Survey Corps and this thick-headed dolt behind me is Vice-Commander Kitts Woerman from the Garrison," he looked up to meet Kaneki in the eye. Woerman gave Levi a hard look in response. Kaneki suppressed a laugh from exploded out. (I have no idea about the spelling of his name or rank please excuse me if it's wrong)

"Shall we begin?"

Whoop whoop. Did I mention I love cliffhangers? This was one looong chapter (for me to write). It may seem a bit sort because of the way I formatted the chapter, I'll take care to fix that a bit so it's easier for you guys to read. I have also to write small omakes that while they may seem irrelevant, I can guarantee that it WILL hold a huge role towards the path Kaneki takes. No, they will not be funny as I have been told over and over to have a twisted and horrible sense of humor. They will hold some dark themes that may not always be apparent. That reminds me, the next chapter is going to have quite a lot of blood and gore in it. Brace yourselves. [Review answers down below]

I want to write Akaneki scenes so I'll probably start a Tokyo Ghoul one-shot collection sometime.

Omake 1: Glass Breaking

It was a dark night. The stars where overridden by the street lights, a lone motorcycle zooming down the road outside.

I couldn't sleep.

I rolled over to my right side, trying to get comfortable. A moment later, I twisted left to stare at the clock. 3:00 A.M.

I groaned as I rose into a sitting position. Something wasn't right. I didn't know what, but nothing felt right.

I slipped out of bed to gaze out the glass wall on the far right of my room. As I approached it, I laid a single hand on the brilliant glass.

In an instant it shattered. I fell backwards, eyes snapped shut, my arms raised to protect myself from any stray falling shards.

When I opened my eyes once more, I found that I was unharmed. But I wasn't happy at all. Why did it hurt so much?

Then I realized what had happened. There was glass in my stomach but no matter how much I wanted it to go away and sleep, I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried.

Answers to reviews:

.73: Thank you for the constructive criticism! I tried to work as you suggested I should do. I am not exactly good with fight scenes as I make up quite the complex ones but I'll try my best to write satisfactory fight scenes for everybody! I want to take character development a bit slow so I think I might speed it up a little seeing as it doesn't seem to be successful at this pace. And the fast pacing this is a habit I'm trying to break. I used to write only short stories you see.

Anon: Thank you for the feedback, I think I'll fix the first chapter to make things a bit more clear. I was a bit exited at the time and wasn't thinking too clearly so I suppose it reflected onto my writing. No, I am not trying to make Kaneki overpowered or happy-go-lucky. I apologize if I didn't really show his inner feelings too much but I'm planning an omake chapter about his inner feelings and whatnot. As for the overpowered thing… you'll see in the next chapter XD.

Kaioo: What I am going to say is the same as what I told Anon above, I'm re-planning and fixing the first chapter. It won't affect the storyline too much, seeing as how we are only in the shallow waters of the story now. The summary also states that this story is a little AU so you'll have to wait until next chapter to see. XD

Tontonte: Your wish has been granted. XD
