Finally able to update this for you guys! Anyways, as usual, I do not own the amazing series Tokyo Ghoul or you.

Chapter 5: A Ghoul's Misconceptions

(F/N) had been seeing Kaneki for a few days and it never once occurred to her that he might not be human. She actually found his presence to be relaxing and felt safer in his arms. However, recently he started to act a bit clingy but she wasn't sure why. She also began to notice that he stayed longer at her house each time he walked her home.

'He's only looking out for me like good friends do.'

Kaneki realized that the day of the CCG raid was getting closer so he decided to spend more time with (F/N) before then. With him around, it seemed other ghouls were too cowardly to face him. Little did he realize that he was in for a rude awakening in the coming days, both for him and (F/N). So the night before the raid he stayed the entire night at (F/N)'s house, not caring what Ayato or the others would say when he returned the next day. He liked to watch (F/N), it made him feel relaxed as he stroked the strand of hair covering one of her cheeks as she slept. However, with him being half-ghoul he managed to retain some of his human qualities, which was something he was glad to have. He smiled a little at her cute sleeping face and gave her forehead a kiss before climbing out her window. Kaneki gave her one last glance and closed the window behind him before finding his way back to Aogiri Tree's HQ.

The night of the CCG raid...

The Aogiri Tree members were preparing to take a huge hit on the CCG headquarters in order to free ghouls being held there and figuring out just what the humans were doing in there. Kaneki still wasn't too keen on leaving (F/N) by herself but he told her to go straight home after she was finished with school for the day, promising to come see her the next night. He was quite relieved that she didn't press him for information and simply agreed to what he asked of her. To Kaneki, (F/N) was worth more than his allies and possibly everyone at Aniteku, except Hide and Touka of course.

Ayato, on the other hand, was still agitated at the fact that he was unable to lay a single finger on the human girl Kaneki was seeing. He swore that after the raid was over he was going straight to that house and claiming her before Eyepatch.

'I won't let that damned Eyepatch beat me.'

However none of them were prepared for what was going to happen that night...

The next night with (F/N)

'I understand that Kaneki-kun wanted me to hurry on home after school but Hide invited me to coffee...what else was I supposed to do? He's too much of a nice guy to turn down.'

(F/N) had disobeyed her friends wishes the night before and felt guilty over it, but figured she would have felt worse if she hurt Hide's feelings. She never really dealt with boys growing up so this was a huge dilemma for her.

'I wonder where Kaneki-kun is now?'

As soon as she thought that, she heard what sounded like a large gust of wind behind her. Her first thoughts were hoping it was Kaneki but quickly shook it off and started to walk faster in the hopes that the creature would leave her alone. (F/N) had gotten used to Kaneki's behaviorisms and this was definitely not like him since he usually let her know of his presence first.

'I'm almost home, just gotta...'

Before she could finish her thought she felt her body being effortlessly tossed onto the ground and the weight of someone holding her down. Whoever this was was not Kaneki, that much she knew. She started to shake beneath this strange person that violently approached her, not knowing what he'll do to her next.

Ayato chuckled to himself as he mercilessly picked the girl up and threw her down like she weighed next to nothing. This of course wasn't a problem due to his ghoul strength, which was something he was grateful for. After pinning her down to ensure she couldn't escape his grip he looked into her (E/C) eyes, only to find that they were glassy and dulled over as if she were...

'Blind?'

The teen watched the trembling human below him stare blankly up at him, seeming as though she were studying him, only without being able to see him. Ayato did want to taste this girl, but something in his body held him back from doing so. He didn't like this feeling at all as he clenched his jaw in anger, which caused him to growl.

(F/N) gulped quietly at the sound of a growl coming from her attacker, causing a slight whimper to escape her throat. After what seemed like forever she finally gained enough confidence to say something.

"W-Who are...you?"

All Black Rabbit did for her answer was huff angrily, muttering under his breath as he got up off the girl and dusting himself off before deciding to answer the girls question properly.

"Well I'm not that damned Kaneki if that's what you're wondering, GIRL. I go by Black Rabbit, don't forget it human, for I will be back...sooner than you think."

(F/N) felt the weight atop her vanish as she slowly sat up, blindly looking in the direction she thought the masculine voice was located. True she was frightened over what just happened but she couldn't help but notice the hesitation in the boy's actions and words. Or at least, she assumed the person was a boy since they were able to toss her around like a sack of rice. After hearing a large whoosh she slowly stood up and leaned against the nearest wall she could feel for. She definitely preferred Kaneki's company over that mysterious boys.

"I think it's best that I not tell Kaneki-kun of this encounter, I might worry him more than I usually do."

(F/N) decided to keep this from her friend as she went into her house and locked it, doing her usual routine before going to bed.

Meanwhile at Aogiri HQ...

Ayato slammed his fist against a wall angrily, cursing to himself quietly before giving the wall a decent pummeling. He was pissed at himself for letting such a decadent specimen slip between his fingers.

"I was so close! If only I hadn't have been so soft...next time I won't be so nice, you lucked out this time, human."

He continued to curse to himself until he tuckered himself out and decided to hit the sack.

With Kaneki...

'DAMN IT! DAMN IT! JUST STOP ALREADY!'

Kaneki was struggling to control his newfound kakuju abilities, which appeared to cause him a lot of discomfort and pain. He didn't want this to begin with, but he wanted to be strong enough to protect everyone he loved and cared for. His mind wondered to (F/N), which seemed to have put an eerie grin on his face.

'Yes...I need to protect her, she's mine and only mine. I won't let anyone or anything take her away from me...'

Whew! Another chapter done, and with a twist! What do you think will happen next? Hopefully I'll have the next one posted up soon. Until next time!
