Chapter 1:

The day it all started was when I was turned into a ghoul.

The day was September 14th 2009, 12:20 A.M.

I was on my way back from baseball practice when there was an explosion toward where the CCG's headquarters was.

"What was that?" "There was an explosion at the CCG headquarters?" "Is everybody alright?"

All that was going on was people panicking over the explosion. Everyone was running over there to see what happened. I didn't want to go see, but before I realized it I was already headed over there.

As soon as I got to the scene, something jumped out of the bushes and grabbed me and pulled me back. It had its hand over my mouth so I couldn't scream for help. It obviously knew what it was doing. Then before I knew it blood was all over me.

2 days later-

I woke up and I had no idea where I was. I looked around for something to recognize but couldn't see anything that would spark my memory. "What the FUCK! Where the fuck am I?"

"Now, now. Calm down. You're at Anteiku, and my name is Touka Kirishima. Can you tell me what you name is?"

"Yeah, I'm… SHIT, I can't remember."

"That's ok, I'm sure it will come back to you soon."

This girl had such a nice smile, she was also pretty. I couldn't help but smile.

She started to smile back at me. When she did my face turned red.

"We washed your clothes, they were kinda covered in blood so…"

"Wait, then what am I wearing?"

"You're wearing some of my clothes, and no, we did not look at your stuff."

"Oh, thank god."
"But I really would have liked to."

When she said that my face turned even redder, but that wasn't the worst of it, she put her fingers in her mouth like you would see in a porn video. I then fainted.

I woke up a few minutes later. "Are you ok?" Touka kept asking.

I then got up and responded with a head node.

"Ok then. Well why don't we head down stairs to the shop."

"Ok." I said.

As I got out of bed, I felt hungry, but then I dropped, fast to.

"Are you ok?" Nouka asked.

"I..do..don't…know." I said.

Nouka helped me up and asked if I was hungry.

"Yeah."
"Ok then. Well you can't eat normal food.."
"Wait what? What do you mean?"
"Oh, you don't know then. Well why don't I explain it to you. You're a ghoul. Well to be more precise a half ghoul. When the ghoul took you he bit into you and you tasted bad, so he spit you out. But all ghouls like human flesh, which leads me to suspect that you weren't a human at all and that you were a ghoul to begin with."

"What?"

"Yeah, I know what you mean. We had a person that was just like you, but he had ghoul organs transplanted into him. You should go talk to him, but first, you need coffee, because all ghouls like it. Its one of the things that we can have that actually tastes good. Oh and also before I forget, hear. Eat this."

Nouka handed me a yellow envolope that had something that smelt good inside. I opened it to see human flesh.

I then said "What the hell is this? Why the fuck would you hand me a human body part? Why Nouka-san, why the fuck would you do that.?"

She was quiet at first and the answered "Well ghouls can only have human flesh or their entire immune system shuts down and fucks them up. You don't want to end up like that do you?"

I was silent after she said that, then the room went into utter silence. It started to freak me out, so I got up and walked out of the hallway that we were standing in, to go into a room that was nicely lit, with just a few tables. I looked around to see a nice family drinking coffee and just sitting there talking.

After seeing that I started to get my memories back, but I didn't know why this made it happen.

I looked at Touka and said "I remember my name now. I'm... Ren.. Ren Kaneki."

"Wait, what?! Are you sure that your a Kaneki."

"Yes I am."

"Then do you know Ken Kaneki?"

"Yes I do. He's my dad."
