Kaneki heard chatter all around. It was lunch time in the 104th squad. Hide was talking to Marco Bott, a brown haired, freckled boy. Kaneki just kept reading his book until he looked on the edge of his book and saw Rize, a girl with purple hair and glasses, looking right back at him.
"…Right Kaneki!" asked Hide.
"Huh?" yelped Kaneki.
"Ghouls are basically just small titans."
Kaneki thought for a moment before answering. "Well," he whispered quietly "the only similarity between ghouls and titans and ghouls are that they both eat humans. Ghouls eat humans to survive while titans do it for no reason. No normal blade can cut a ghoul's skin. Titans don't ha-"
"Ok, ok we didn't need a whole lesson." Hide interrupted. Kaneki looked a little annoyed. "Hide you should really learn more about ghouls and titans. After all they both are humanity's enemies.
Marco just smiled on while the two were arguing. The food hall was noisy. Kaneki made some friends, but he liked hanging out with Hide the most. Kaneki finally sighed with defeat and let Hide and Marco continue their discussion. Everything was normal. Eren was talking about killing all the titans to Armin, Touka was talking to Mina, Reiner was joking with Connie and Sasha and, Annie sat alone. Since Kaneki spent his time reading instead of eating he was left behind by Hide. Most of the cadets were going to bed. Kaneki thought it wouldn't hurt to read one more page. He was about halfway through the page when Rize accidently knocked Kaneki's book over. "Oh! I'm very sorry!" she stammered. She bent to pick up the book. Then she saw the cover. "Hm? You like Sen Takasuki too? She asked. Kaneki smiled. "Y-yeah!". They discussed their favorite books for a while. Then they headed outside. Out of the corner of his eye Kaneki saw Touka, the girl with short purple hair covering her right eye, frown at them. He didn't think much of it.
They walked a few steps when Rize suddenly said "Kaneki, I'm really not that good at the balancing for 3dmg. Can you please help me?" she muttered quietly. "Um, sure" he said. They walked into the woods and started to practice. She did seem to get better. "Thank you Kaneki! Now I feel very confident for tomorrow!" se happily breathed with a twinkle in her eyes. Kaneki felt butterflies in his stomach. He started to blush. "Oh it was nothing really!" He nervously muttered. He noticed she was walking closer. He was getting more nervous. "Kaneki," she breathed "I know you like me. I've seen you looking at me," she was now hugging him, "and the truth is, I've been looking at you too." ,she whispered in his ear. Kaneki was happy. He smiled. But only for a few seconds before he realized something was wrong. Horribly wrong. He saw four red tentacle-like things coming from her back and he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He fell down on the dirt."She … she bit me!" he thought. He was panicking. He started to run but those damn things, her kagune caught him. She started laughing. "Oh Kaneki! You've never felt a ghouls kagune, have you?" she asked with felt Rize's kagune stab through him. Her eyes were black and red and she was totally un recognizable. "You know I like bodies like you not to tough but not to soft either." She giggled. Kaneki screamed in pain.
She was walking closer when there was a groan and a thud. Kaneki saw a big ass tree ( I couldn't help it XD) fall on Rize with her kagune fade away. He heard shouts from a voice he recognized as Reiner. "H-Hey! Kaneki and Rize are hurt!" He felt himself being lift up. Then he fell into an unconscious slumber.
