Guest, Well you know Ghouls basically eat humans to survive so that's what Mikisew and that other guy in chapter 1 was doing.
Genesis-777, I thank you for the nice comment even though it's my first time trying to write a fanfiction about a show I liked but I guess I gotta get used to it. Now onto the story.
-The Life of A Ghoul-
~~~~6:03 AM~~~~
I opened my eyes slowly from not drowsiness but barely even slept, there was a lot on my mind right now, some not too pleasant. kept trying to think that this was a dream, all an illusion, but no matter how much I see think of myself I still couldn't believe it
'Who is this Renji person?' as said to myself while looking at the ceiling, I check my Ipod like the 200th time already, '6:04, all this thinking in bed can make time go fast' I set my device down looking out the window it wasn't that dark like before but enough to see a little bit of blue sky over the sleeping neighborhood.
I didn't feel doing work at all, didn't feel like making new decision on the building they told me to do, 'I wonder what can I do when I activate my kagune?' I think for a few second then realize something "If other ghouls have kagune like me, then they could bring out of there bodies like nothing" I got out of my bed and make a stance trying to bring out my powers.
"Alright come on you can do it" after a few struggle still no good "Come on!" one final push and I felt something fuzzy in my eyes, "oh crap what did I do now?!" I look straight to my bedroom mirror and saw that I have now a different eye color. "Oh okay" I looked a little closer "I know ghouls have these so I must've past the first step" I said
I gave a big steady breathing and took a few steps back "Alright, now draw it out" I concentrated trying to focus on my whole body, releasing of whatever is inside of me 'I'm feeling something at my lower backbone" I just had to do what comes naturally.
I opened my eyes and looked at the mirror in astonish "No way" I looked at my very own kagune it was two dark red almost tail like, it was a little thin but not that much and it stood 8 ft. long. I looked at the whole length and it separated from each other not even a chance of merging "Wonder what kind of technique I can do with it...guess I better not rush" I then concentrate trying to release it and put my body back to normal "Well that's that..." I looked myself in the mirror once again "...Am I really related to him, can I be faster then him?" that thought was stuck at the back of my mind Just thinking about it just makes me think that I have a death wish.
~~~~At work 7:37 AM~~~~
I was very bored staying in bed and decided to clear my mind while I work, I was the only at the construction site, and made last minute review on the building and let the builders do their work on the suppose to-be skyscraper, I got about three more buildings but that's why I love my job. So I can put my art in the blueprint and everyone can see it for many century.
"Hope I don't walk into the same man yesterday, I don't think he'll let me get away a second time" I said as I slump in my work chair. "...Hisashi, what caused you to walk down this path?" I stood up from my seat and head to an open window for a breathe of fresh air, it's a calm cold-ish breeze that hit my face. It makes you forget for awhile and relax once in awhile, I smiled once again thinking that life could've different if I was with my father, think he could kill me on the spot for disobeying him.
~~~~Somewhere else~~~~
"CCG Base to 203, trespassers reported 20th ward of the aqua building, Trespassers are believed to be ghouls- repeat, ghouls. Proceed to location immediately." a man said
A female ghoul with purple hair what appears to be eating two humans acting like it was a gourmet dinner "It looks like they weren't kidding when they called a binge eater" a man wearing a hockey mask said casually walking to the now bloody scene, the women halted her actions dropping the head
"I hate being interrupted when I'm eating" she said without looking turning or looking at him, "You don't know me, do you?" the man not even replying to eachother's question till she did "Yes I do. Your a joyless fellow that enjoys bothering others" the man laughed
"I got orders from above, I'm suppose to take you alive" he look down then looked at her with red eyes "but before I do, let me take a finger or two, an arm, or your leg!" he clench his weapon what appears to be pliers.
without even looking she made a mockery of his choice of weapon "A small toy for such a big body, I bet you like playing house, how adorable." she smiled almost close to a laughter. the man then flew right behind at amazing speed and said "Let me take then from you" and at in instant he activate his kagune trying to immobolize her, so that she won't escape. but she disappeared from his sight and broked the aquarium that was besides using her rinkaku, distacting him for her to escape.
~~~~At other end of the building~~~~
I see a commotion at the building in front of me but it better not be people tresspassing their I just kept watching till I realize, it was a ghoul fighting against another ghoul "What sure what their fighting about but I hope it's not trying to have the first bite" my father said 'it's not nice to disturb someone who is starving, it could only mean your death'" I sighed
"Well it will be on the news later" I yawned quite heavily "guess I'm already sleepy now, I already got my work finished I guess it's alright that I take few hours of nap before the guy that's working on the building comes" I sat on the chair once again and pulled down my cap that has the white bold words 'Hollow' to cover my eyes and fell asleep very quickly
~~~~6 Hours later~~~~
I finish one building the one I've been doing for 3 days now, and I have a lot till I go to the next one and decided to walk around the city for now, I still remember the time at the aqua building 'Live is sure different when someone tries to be at the top of the food chain, wonder if you gotta watch your back 24/7 trying not to get killed but if your that skilled and no one messed with you then your probably okay' I was absorb in thought that I accidentally bump into someone. I saw only a couple of things fell a purse and a book "Oh sorry I wasn't seeing where I was going" I kneeled down to picked up a book, then she replied "It's okay don't worry nobody got hurt" she joke causing us to laugh
I looked at the title "Egg of the Black Goat by Sen Takasuki?" she nodded "Yes it's a very good to read, do you read any book?" I looked and return her book back and shook my head no
"Used to read a lot of books that's till then I got a job and ain't got enough time for myself, but now I'm finish for now and don't got any books to read to clear my mind" I smiled while she nodded "well their a local library just a couple blocks down that way, I'm sure there's a book you like" I replied "Oh okay I'll be sure to check it out, thank you miss...?" she smiled
"Rize Kamishiro" I nodded "Well Rize-san I hope to see you around" I said taking my leave "You too" and she turned to where ever she's going 'I know my nose don't lie, she's a ghoul but judging how strong that smell is, she must be strong' I had to get away at least.
I took a few steps at the opposite direction till I heard my phone ringing, I fished it out of my pockets and answered "Hello?"
Hey son, it's me" Joe said through the phone, me and him had a small chat before he went unto to the point why he called "there's a place that someone wants to meet you, it's the same person that told me, to tell you not to go there" I nodded in curiosity "Well where is this place?"
~~~~Tea Shop, Anteiku~~~~
"This must be the place" I looked at the sign in front of the local tea shop as I was about to go inside I heard someone from inside said "Good luck, delusional Kaneki!" I walked past a young man with orange like hair I didn't want to open my mouth since it would be wasting my time trying to get inside.
I opened the door only to be introduce by someone working here "Welcome!" I nodded at her and walk to the counter with the guy that looked around 50 years old, I sat down at the stool just wonder if I could fake myself drinking tea or coffee but not right now "Hey, I was told to come here, uhh Joe sent me" I ask the old man behind the counter the man smile and nodded "It is so good to see you again, it has been a long time, right?" I was confused but nodded. the man then chuckle "Well my name is Yoshimura, Mikisew-kun" I was suprised that he knew my name but not shocked since my father told me to come here at this tea shop
Well Yoshi-san I am please to make an unexpected appearance at your shop, but I hate to ask you, have we met in some timeline" trying to be honest with him without trying to offend him or anything He nodded "Why yes we have, but it was so long ago that you were just born so no worries" I sigh in satisfaction "Would you like some coffee or tea?" I tense a little bit knowing that I might make a scene that will end up of me getting caught by a someone else in the shop. I then said to no his offer "No it's okay I'm not really that thirsty now" I looked at him and he was still smiling
"It's on the house" He brewed me a cup of coffee by hand, I watched him using the old technique that was used for many years now. after he was done he pour in a cup and gave it me "Don't worry just drink it" I nodded and picked up the handle of the cup, and took a sip... I was very suprise that it taste good he told me that it's regular coffee but I never expected it guess I gotta buy some coffee for myself
I smiled at him "It's good thanks for the coffee" he nodded his head once again and went to the door next him that said staff only "Well you mind we mind if we talk in private" I took on his gesture and followed him to where ever it is.
~~~~Upstairs~~~~
I sat across him while there are two small cups at the middle 'this must be his room where he'll talk to others in private' I thought while I looked around the room "umm, now that I'm here my father told me that you needed to speak to me"
"Yes, I rather just stay and chat but a lot of things is happening ever since 'White Noise' came here, and after you found out the truth we had no choice but to help you so you can protect yourself" He said "your parents are sorry that you were hidden away from the truth, and all of us were very sorry also for not being able to assist you in your early time"
I nodded but replied "I know and it's okay I never had that much experience of being a ghoul or act like one, but I know I'm at peace with myself but I know a lot of people can be very hostile when you provoke their territory" I scratch at the back of my head knowing how silly that question at fact #1 then my mood changed "How do I beat my father?" as I said that question he remain quiet for awhile "You can't beat him" he replied bluntly
'Of course' I sigh "alright, how strong do I gotta be, enough to stand my ground against him" I looked at him hoping for him to give a honest answer "Not that much but there is still a lot to do, now that you just realize that your a ghoul" I looked at him a little bit annoyed 'all this ghoul, ghoul, ghoul, ghoul is getting to me' I said then I heard the door opened.
"Here you go sir" A women with black hair walked in, I was amazed how pretty she looked she sets down the two cups of coffee and take her leave. I just kept looking at the door to where she lefted "You like don't you" Yoshimaru said while he took a sip
I smiled and said "She's beautiful" I looked at the coffee and pick it up to only for now "Don't worry I know she likes you also" I fidgeting with the coffee in my hand I blush a little "H-how so" I stuttered
"It's because she was looking at you for quite some time the moment when you sat by counter" he smiled while I blushed at the thought of that
"What's her name?" then he replied "why don't you ask her yourself" I cough "I-I-I can't do that, I mean I'm not sure how to approach her" I was saying stuff knowing that I like her but not sure how to strike a conversation with her
I took a sip of the coffee hoping to calm me down, then it hit me "Yoshi-san, who is this Renji Yomo that I'm suppose to train with me?" he set the cup down
"Renji is my good man so do not worry about him, but he will help you. only for two weeks and you gotta develop most of your strength on your own"""nodded at the wise thinking"but first let me see your kagune" Yoshimaru said
"Alright" I set the cup down and stood up trying to do what I did last night, after a few attempts it was getting easy releasing of inside me. and it was still fascinated as usual at the beauty of my Kagune, the 8 ft. long red tails, as I was looking at it I was moving it around like was my own body...but you get the point
I saw Yoshimaru nodded his head "Very good Mikisew-kun you have Bikaku" I looked at him once again"so this is bikaku huh, What type of powers do others have beside bikaku Yoshi-san" I said as I grab a hold of my tail letting flow around my wrist.
There four to be exact each of them as a place in the back: like Ukaku belongs in your shoulder area almost feather-like that let's move at top speed, and the Koukaku that belongs in the shoulder blades but they have the density then all of then top four so be careful around when encounter with one, and the Rinkaku is a deadly one it belongs around the waist, like Rize for example-" I cut in on the conversation
"So Rize-san is a ghoul too, glad my nose don't lie" I said
"So you met Rize in person?" I nodded "Yeah I bumb into her just half an hour ago but I know she seems strong" I said
"Be wary of her, she intend to kill anyone if provoke"Yoshimaru said know that's why I was trying to walk in another direction hoping I don't run into her at night, oh can you continue to your about the Rc Types?" then Yoshi nodded
"As you know Rize she a total of four scale like muscle with her, so you gotta be alot more faster then her, and for the last one is your Bikaku, it's probably the best you had and it's not your only main weapon but your skills and agility is of course inhuman, so I know there's someone that will be willing to teach you once your training with Renji is done" I nodded and release my bikaku and sit down finishing my coffee "But why can't I start now is he here?" he shook his head no "No I'm sorry but he'll be back later tonight, if your interested in staying here for now" I thought for a moment and accept his offer
"Yes of course, I'll stay here" then I see Yoshimaru smiled "Is it because that the girl you like is working here" I blushed once again for the thought of seeing her again but I had to be honest to him "I forgot about her for a moment but yes, I do" I scratch at the side of my head "She's too pretty to be alone"
~~~~Back downstairs~~~~
I walked back downstairs hoping to find something to do when he gets here, I did a scan around the floor and only saw a few people, there's four workers here, and five people and young man with...Rize sitting at the table 'Yep, he's gonna be food tonight' I thought of realizing there's no hope helping this guy with a hungry killer, or ghoul to be exact.
I sat down at the far end of the room trying not to be caught by her, I don't want to butt into the conversation, I ask a waiter for a big cup of coffee since I was very thirsty at the moment but what I didn't expect to see was the women with dark hair, the same women who served us at the room with Yoshi-san "Hello, may I take you order sir?" I saw her blushed a little while I looked away trying to hide my blush
"Umm, O-one coffee p-please" she wrote it down on her pad
"Alright I'll be back for your order" as she was about to leave I had enough courage to ask for her name "Wait, may I ask for your name?" I said as I blushed a little harder 'god damn my hands are getting a little sweaty'
"Irimi Kaya, and yours?" I smiled that I got to know her name but I know that I can show my last bio name "Mikisew Minasuki" "Alright Mikisew-kun I'll be back for your order" she went back to brew some coffee, while I looked at myself smiling like an idiot
she came back, I felt like I was falling in love with her, she's like a thousand beauties mixed into one. but I know I need to for her to like me more "Here you go Mikisew-kun" as she sets the coffee in front of me "Thank you Irimi-chan, but do you mind sitting next to me while we get to know each other" I said while I was gaining more confident then ever, she smiled more widely "I would love that but I'll be back for a cup of coffee for me" I nodded knowing that we might have a connection here
~~~~Half an hour later~~~~
Me and Irimi was talking most of the time having laugh getting to know each other more, I heard that she was a leader with a group of ghouls known as 'Black Dogs' and the mask that they wore was a dober mask in black, me and had a fun to be honest but I know it was getting late and she had to work "Well I'll see you around Irimi-chan" I said while I was still smiling, she gave me a wave and head off. as I was looking at the half empty cup I knew that life as a ghoul wasn't going to be that bad.
A/N Alright I need to end it here, thanks to my notepad while the internet was off. it messed up a whole lot of words and places for them, It's like all scrambled around and I add to spent 15 mins trying to put them at the right place do that's why it looks a little different but until I had my stressed away I'll continue on chapter 4
But I'm glad I got up to over 3k words in this chapter it felt like a new record, and about Irimi, I gotta be honest with you she is very beautiful with that long brunette hair she have there, I still need to make changes to my story and it's still going well but now I'm still stress and I'll see you all later bye bye!
