Spider Lilies (彼岸花)
A/N It's been a while since I've read Tokyo Ghoul and I've only skimmed through most of Re:. I got a lot of this information from wiki and skimming so feel free to correct me if I have anything wrong and just know that I will likely be editing chapters once I finish reading. Also I reeeeeeeeally suck at writing battle scenes so ^^;;
Prologue
Red…and the deep voice of a man.
Those were the first things she remembered greeting her as she was birthed into the new world.
At the time, she hadn't known where she was or how she'd gotten there. All she'd remembered was the face of a tired looking woman and the soothing lullaby she sang.
Her new body was sticky and hot while her vision was so blurred, she couldn't even make out most of the colours surrounding her. She tried to scrunch her eyes to see better but, just as she did, a pale white colour blocked her vision. She waved her arms feebly in an effort to clear her vision but again something stopped her frail attempts.
It was after another failed attempt that the deep voice began to chuckle before mumbling something as if to calm her.
"Now, now koibito-chan. Papa just wants to see your face."
Though it took some time she was able to realise that the deep voice was coming from her new father. For months, until her vision cleared, she found herself being drawn to his voice and listened carefully to each and every word he whispered to her.
"I've heard most babies your age aren't as calm as you, koibito-chan. You really are living up to your name, aren't you?"
"Maa, maa Nagi-chan. Already trying to make your old man bald, are we? We can't have that now, can we?"
It was through his whisperings and the raw strips of meat and organs she was fed that Nagi made the connection between her universe and the manga Tokyo Ghoul.
A normal person should have freaked out and may have even tried to deny their cannibalistic nature but Nagi had never been 'normal'. Her apathetic personality had many perks and not caring was one of them. Be it cannibalism, adultery or any other thing religion and morality restricted she didn't care as long as she was left alone.
Also, why bother going through an identity crisis and denying herself when she had a whole new life ahead of her. Being a ghoul, there were already people out there who wanted to kill her just for what she was. Why waste that time breaking down when she could use it to learn how to survive.
That being said she snuggled deeper into her father's warm chest and let his heartbeat lull her into a slumber.
