I know I said I will be back in three days. But I got some free time and finished my new chapter. Let's see Naruto will react to her or not. Maybe he will hate her forever. Almost everyone will disagree with me if I let him hate her. Amn't I right? Well, whatever, Let's find out they will become couples or just ... friends.
I don't own Naruto.
I don't own Tokyo Ghoul, too. ;)

Chapter 4: Friends or more than Friends?
"T-Touka ...-chan?"
The purple haired girl then looked up only to see her human friend. Her body started to tremble as she saw her friend. She was starting to get afraid that he will hate her for being a ghoul. Her eyes returned back to her pure purple eyes. Her wings also disappeared from her back into thin air.
"N-Naruto?" she asked as she still can't believe that her friend saw her true nature.
"You alright Touka-chan? You are trembling" he asked worriedly.
'I-I have to kill him. I have no choice. If he informs CCG, we all will be dead.' thought Touka. Her eyes then turned into black and red eyes. She started to punch him simultaneously.
"Why are you attacking me?" asked the confused blond as he try to avoid her punches. Suddenly a wing appeared behind her back. Naruto fell back a little. And he was wide open. She aimed her wings to his heart. But before her wing could pierce his chest, it stopped.
A single lone tear, escaped from her eyes. She couldn't kill him. He was precious for her. He was her ... friend.
"Why did you start attacking me, Touka-chan?" asked the confused Naruto.
She was surprised by his question. 'Is he an idiot? Doesn't he know that I am Ghoul?' thought Touka.
"Don't you afraid of me? Don't you afraid of a GHOUL!?" she shouted and asked.
"Why do I need to afraid of you? You are my friend. I don't care if you are a ghoul or not." said Naruto. "But a ghoul doesn't mean a ghost right? I am only afraid of ghosts." he whispered the last part into her ears.
"Do you even know what a ghoul is? We can only feed on humans. We can't eat any other thing" she said.
"As I said before, I don't care you are a man-eating thing or whatever it is. What matter most is that you are my friend. I will never abandon my precious people. I promise you that I will never leave you. And I never break my promise." said Naruto with a thumb up.
Tears started to well up in her eyes. Those words mean a lot for her. She hugged at him while crying. Soon his jumpsuit was now soaked with her tears.
"You have no idea how much those words mean to me."
"Don't worry Touka-chan, I will always be there for you. And I will never leave your side." he said as he returned the hug.
"Thank you." she whispered to him.
"You don't have to thank me. That is what friends are for. Amn't I right?"
She just nodded feeling sorry that she almost kill her friend.
"Come on! Let me lighten your mood." he said as he picked her up bridal style.
"HEY!" she shouted at suddenly being carried.
"Don't worry, I won't drop you." he said as he smiled at her.
He started running across the city and stopped in front of a tall building.
"Close your eyes. And don't open whatever it happens." said Naruto.
"Why?" she asked.
"Trust me."
"Okay..." she said hesitantly. She then closed her eye. After she had closed her eyes, he tightened the grip on her. Then, he started running vertically up the building. She could feel that gravity is pulling her body down but she trusted Naruto and continued to do as he said. After a minute later, Naruto dropped her down and told her "You can open your eyes now."
She then opened her eyes only so see that she was on the edge of the roof.
"H-How did you get up here?" she asked.
"Well, I have my own ways." he said with a smile. He then look at the city.
"We can enjoy the view of the whole city from up here. It is ... beautiful" he said.
She then looked at the city beneath her, then she said "Yeah" with a smile.
Two of them enjoyed the view in silence until Touka broke the silence between them.
"Hey, the first day you came. You didn't tell anything about yourself."
"Oh yeah, I didn't want to share about myself to the whole class"
"Why don't you want to share?"
"Well, It is a little complicated. If you wanna know, I can tell you ... a little"
"Alright, tell me something about you"
"Well, I came from a village called Konoha. It means Hidden Village in the Leaf. It was a pleasant village. You might not have heard about it because like its name, it is hidden." He then stopped remembering his village got destroyed by Pain.
"People from our village train how to use chakra. Chakra is basically a form of energy. It is the combination of two types of energy, Spiritual energy and Physical energy. It allows us to do extraordinary things like I did before. Everyone has chakra but we have to train to use it."
"Do I have chakra, too?" she asked.
"Yeah, I see it in you. But, only a small amount." He then did a ram seal and blue energy started to coat around his body. "Chakra is normally blue." 'Although I saw black chakra inside you while you were in that ghoul form' he thought.
"Why don't you tell me about your family?" she asked.
"Well, I am an orphan. I didn't even know who my parents were until I got 16" he said.
"Oh, ... I am sorry"
"It is okay. Why don't you tell me about you?"
"Well, I have a younger brother. Although I don't know where he is right now. My dad ... he has been missing for years by now. I don't even know he is alive or not." she said with a sad expression.
"Don't worry Touka-chan, I believe that you will meet them again. Never lose hope!"
"Thanks Naruto"
They are both now facing, looking into the eyes of each other. Their faces were only inches apart. Their lips almost hit each other. Their faces becoming closer and closer until a door opened and the two policemen came in. They parted from each other as they heard a shout. "HEY! It is that boy from yesterday."
"Oh crap" Naruto said as he picked her up and jumped from the roof.
"What the hell? He jumped again!" said one of the policemen.
Touka was expecting that they would be dead if they jump from that height. Instead Naruto landed softly on the ground. "H-How do you do that?"
"I used chakra from my feet. So I didn't crash on the ground."
"Let me walk you to home." he said as he put her down. They have been walking in silence. Touka has been thinking about chakra that Naruto told earlier. She still couldn't believe that chakra can do such incredible things. She also has never heard that someone tell about chakra. After about 20 minutes of walk, they reached her home.
"I didn't know that you live near the place you work"
"Yeah, manager of the Anteiku adopted me since my dad left"
"See ya tomorrow Touka-chan" he said as he waved at her and left her.
She then went inside her house. And laid onto her bed. She was thinking about Naruto. Just thinking about him put a smile on her face. "You really are full of surprises, Naruto" she said to herself. She then fell asleep.
Naruto just walk back to his house after taking Touka back to her house.
"Hey Kurama, I think her chakra turned black because she was in ghoul form."
"Yeah, I know, kit. Her chakra became blue again after she turned into human form."
"What do you think about it? Why do ghouls have black chakra?"
"Kit, We are in a different world. Maybe that's why they have strange chakra."
"I hope you are right, Kurama"
Author's Note:
There goes another chapter. I will pair them up later. I will just let them be friends for now. I also have reveal a little more secret about their ghoul mode. What do you think about black chakra? You will learn more about ghouls of my story in later chapters. See ya later in next chapter.
Ja né!
