First off I do not own Tokyo Ghoul or the Characters except the OC that will be in later chapters. This first chapter is just for progressing the story, and I would love constructive criticism. The relationship will develop soon but I do not wanna rush it honestly cause that isn't how love works really :D

The sun rays beamed down piercing through the window landing on a raven haired boys face. The radiant heat caused the boy to stir from his slumber suddenly jumping up frantically. Fear painted his face as memories flowed into his mind recalling the previous event that transpired before he awoke in this room. The main thing on his mind though was where his best friend Hide was and if he was alright.

A creek coming from the entryway startled the boy out of his thoughts as Yoshimura made his way into the room. " Ah so you are finally awake. You can relax Kaneki. Touka carried both your friend and you here to Anteiku. If you would like I can lead you to the room we put your friend in to recover?" The elder ghoul question to relax his guests nerves. Letting out a sigh Kaneki replied in great joy " I would like that." as he rushed up to follow behind the old man.

After a little walk walk down the hall Yoshimura paused in front of a door to open it revealing Hide resting in a bed. At the sight of his friend tears began to flow down Kaneki's face as he remember how useless he was against Nishiki senpai, and the need for Touka to step in to save them both plus prevent him from losing to starvation. Between sobs he managed to stutter out " It's all my fault Hide got injured" as he lowered his head in shame. Calmly Yoshimura cleared his throat as he began to speak " Compared to the injuries you sustained his were minor, and even if they were more severe I doubt he would let them keep him down. All he said in his sleep last night as we treated him was how he couldn't leave you alone", the old man paused as a smile appeared on his face before finishing " Human sure are interesting."

Kaneki was puzzled as to what Yoshimura meant by his last statement, but was interrupted before he could dwell on it longer " You are lucky to have such a good friend, and I would suggest you keep by his side no matter what path you choose to live." Yoshimura chuckled after saying this recalling his past when he was close to a human. Kaneki was caught off guard by the old ghoul, but began to frown as he spoke " There isn't a place for me to belong as human or ghoul." he began looking down on the ground condemning his options. Yoshimura began frowning before speaking " Your wrong Kaneki you are the one person who can belong in both worlds. Your place of belonging as a human is next to him, and as for a ghoul Anteiku could always use help. However, it is your choice." Yoshimura put on a smile waiting for Kaneki's response. "But if I stay close to Hide it would only put him in unnecessary danger, and thats why I must distance a monster like myself away from him" said Kaneki as his frown deepened at the thought of Hide being in another voice broke in " Rabbits die from loneliness Kaneki" shocking the raven as he recognised it as Hide's voice.

Thanks for the read, and it would be helpful for constructive criticism. Anyhow I promise that not all the chapters will be this boring/bad I just need to get past the starting progression then the fun will begin.(^_^)
