What if Kaneki was crazy since he was little and was turned into a half ghoul when he was a lot younger? What if he was kept in one of Kanou's laboratories and if the CCG finds out about the lab and raided it only to find the young ghoul turned human child trapped in a cage with no memories. Read as chaos ensues at the CCG with the arrival of their new potential weapon.
Or is he?

The Start of a New Life

Number 240's (Kaneki's) point of view:

BOOM!

"Ah!" I was startled awake from inside my cage. Looking around I realized nobody was standing guard. 'Where'd the guards go, and what was that noise, an explosion?' I thought, but deciding it was probably one of the failed experiments that escaped confinement again, I allowed my tiredness of being tested on for 6 hours strait lull me back into my dreamless sleep, but just as I was about to nod off, a certain creepy girl rapped in bandages barged into my prison.

"~Hello again number 240! ~" She said in a creepy voice. It sent a cold shiver down my spine.

"Eto." I greeted coldly. The expression on my face clearly showed my displeasure at her presence in the same room as me. I could see that unsettling grin of hers from behind the bandages, and was beginning to dread whatever was coming next. Every time I see that ugly grin of hers, something goes terribly wrong for me, and I mean every time.

"What's wrong Number-chan? You look a little pale. Are Kanou's little sessions that bad? Or is it that your still to human to activate those ghoul perks? How can we fix that? Hehe, I wonder." She said with the same creepy grin.

'Ugh, what I would do to smack that creepy grin off her ugly head.' I thought, but then I remembered the last time I tried. She had insulted me on my "pathetic attempt at writing" after reading my diary wearing that same grin and I felt my blood boil. It was one of the few things I was allowed to have for myself other than clothes and she violated that. I wasn't even allowed a pen; I had to steal one from Kanou's desk when he wasn't looking. (Thankfully I still remembered how to write, though I have some trouble with kanji, because that was my only way to vent without getting punished.)

When my hand reached out to smack her ugly little head, she disappeared from my line of sight and I suddenly wound up on the ground. When I managed to wrap my head around what just happened I realized she had torn off my arm. She (the little *itch) said "Oh no Number-chan, you can't do that. Now we have to send you to Jason for re-education again." I silently cursed my stupidity for letting my anger get the best of me but then decided I will forever hate the little sh*t when she had the nerve to say "You must really like him, you wrote about him a lot in your pathetic attempt at writing? Haha, I never took you to be such a masochist!" I growled at the memory.

Her grin grew impossibly wider, as if she had read my mind because she said, "No need to catch feelings for events of the past, surely you're mature enough for that, or am I expecting too much from a tiny 9 year old child?"

My eyes narrowed at the way she emphasized the word "child", we're the same age and yet she acts otherwise. I was going to comment but the explosions outside distracted me from our little spat. "What's going on out there?" I glanced at the door.

"The Doves have discovered us. My Aogiri forces are fighting them as we speak." She said nonchalantly, the insufferable grin finally left her face only to be replaced by a mask of indifference.

"What!?" I yelled turning back to look at her sharply. "If that's true what are you doing here? Shouldn't you care more about your precious Aogiri? You're their leader aren't you? And the, oh so powerful One-Eyed-Owl. Shouldn't you be out fighting instead of making small talk with a nameless experiment of Dr. Kanou?" I said in a shocked tone that molded into a more mocking one.

"Oh hush," She clipped. "I only have a small number here, all A and B ranks anyway, and I have Noro helping out." She brushed me off. The way she acted, not caring about the lives of those who would give themselves up for her, it was, it was, "You're disgusting. How could you treat your comrades like fodder? They're giving up everything for you!" I snapped. "I truly despise you." I growled, emphasizing the word "despise" and filling it with all my hatred, anger, and frustrations toward her, and what was her response? She shrugged. Well then, F*ck her.

Her indifference wasn't helping the situation; I could hear footstep and voices coming closer. Doves. I had never encountered them being locked in a cage and all, but I'd hear stories of them from the ghouls on guard, and slight panic ran through me.

Surely they wouldn't kill me. Right? I mean, I was born a human. But then again I might as well have been born a ghoul because I can't remember anything from my past, and from what those voices say, good riddance, an abusive mother and a father who walked out didn't seem like something I'd want to remember. But that wasn't helping me now was it.

They were outside the door now, thankfully, Eto remembered to lock it but I could hear them saying "Brake it down, he's probably in here!" What? Maybe I heard it wrong. Glancing back at her from the door, she stared at me for a moment longer before explaining that the CCG had managed to hack into one of the online Aogiri data bases I found out about Kanou and his experiments.

The door was barely hanging on its hinges before she got up and walked over to a wall on the opposite side of the room and pressed a hand on one of the cold white bricks. A hidden passage way I didn't know exist appeared. 'Well it's not like I could have broken out of this cell to find it now could I? Ah is she abandoning me like the others, can't say I'm surprised though.' I thought to myself.

She stepped through before saying something I would have never expected to ever come out from that mouth of hers. "Don't die before we meet again. I think I have grown some feelings towards you so it would be a shame if you died too soon." She said as the wall began to close up behind her. I think I just barfed a little, but then laughter erupted from me. Eto? Emotions? It was all so funny! 'A sick joke.' She turned around to look at me wearing an unreadable expression from behind the bandages. What was she expecting?

For me to care and say what I feel towards her? I already did that. When I cooled down I looked at her strait in the eyes and said "I hope you die the worst death imaginable," and the walls closed up.

That was when the Doves finally managed to break down the door. 'What terrible timing. It got away.' I thought bitterly. They ran into the room pointing their guns at everything before point at me.

Shinohara's point of view:

"Everyone's unsettled by this operation."Amon said as we got into our positions to raid the Aogiri base.

He was right. I mean, who wouldn't be after finding out that Kanou Akihiro, a former CCG coroner, was doing a bunch of human experiments. What kind of sick bastard turns humans into ghouls, and child no less? Kaneki Ken, a victim of his experiments, was only 6 years old when he was kidnapped by Aogiri to be experimented on.

Not only did they kill his mother, but they turned him into an artificial half-ghoul. According to the Aogiri database we managed to hack into, he has been the only successful experiment of the thousands of people experimented on because of an extremely rare genetic mutation that allows the body to adjust to the implanted ghoul organ without any trouble.

"Indeed. Even I am a little shaken about this. Kaneki Ken may have very well abandoned his humanity. After all, he was only 6 years old at the time he was kidnapped, I can't help but pity him." I replied with a troubled expression.

"It's been 3 years since he was taken, I don't you think he cares about whether he was once human. Why should we care? He can't eat human food, he has a kagune, and that makes him a threat to humanity. He should be eliminated like the rest." said Juuzou. He was right about him not being human anymore but killing him would be out of the question. 'I guess Juuzou still has a lot to learn,' I thought.

"Kaneki Ken may not be human anymore, but if the public caught wind of the fact that we did indeed treat him like any other ghoul and kill him, it would put the CCG would be in a bad place." I explained.

"But what will we do with him? We can't let him live as a human, like Juuzou said, he can only eat human flesh and he has a kagune. He is a threat to humanity." Seidou asked. That was another point. What would the CCG do with a now 9 year old child who is by all means a ghoul?

"We can make him into a ghoul investigator." It was Akira who answered his question. Ah, ever the inquisitive woman. She figured it out.

"What?! That's crazy, why would we do that?" Amon yelled while Akira rolled her eyes.

"Idiot Amon, isn't obvious? The only other half-ghoul we know about is the One-Eyed-Owl, and the only investigator that stands a chance against it is Arima Kishou, The CCG Reaper." She explained. Juuzou seemed to get it but Amon and Seidou were both lost.

She sighed and explained further. "Oh god you both are unbelievably dense. What I'm trying to say is that if we can get Kaneki Ken who currently a half-ghoul on our side, we stand a much better chance on the war against ghouls."

"Oh." was Amon's only response. I shook my head as Seidou and Akira argued over who was right and focused on what was in front of me.

'Kaneki Ken huh.' I thought as Marude sent the order to move out through our ear pieces.

Sometime later...

We had gone through the entire building and had yet to find Kaneki Ken. As I entered the last hall way I found a locked door and yelled for the others to break it down. The boy was probably in there. I hoped and prayed to God that the child was not in a bad state when we found him.

The door finally broke down and we raided to area behind it. It was bare and had a prison cell within it.

It had a toilet and a bed. I couldn't even call it a bed; I'd call it a cement slab stuck to a wall. That didn't matter though, for there sat a child with snow like hair and black nails staring at us with an unreadable expression. No what were looking back at me weren't the eyes of a child, but the emotionless eyes you'd find on a corpse. It was terrifying, but what he did next, I think shocked everyone in the room. He stuck out a hand for a hand shake and said,

"Hello. Welcome to my humble abode. I'm Number 240, who might you be?"

Authors Note:

Hello again! I know it hasn't even been a day since I posted chapter, but I had some more extra time and I didn't want to forget my ideas for how he gets found by the CCG. If you're wondering why I have so much time on my hands, it's because March break has started and now my mind is no longer occupied with school. I hope you like this chapter; I made it a lot longer just like I said I would. I can't wait to get started with chapter 4. I'll call it "Who am I?"
