I do not own Tokyo Ghoul

Kaneki was eating. He hadn't eaten for some time and was hungry. He had quickly found a ghoul and ate her. He knew someone was watching him. Suddenly, a voice came.
"Kaneki. You're a hybrid?" Touka asked.

Kaneki wiped his mouth. "Thought you knew."

"No, I didn't. Hybrids are rare anyways. So which one was the human, your mom or you dad?"

"Neither. I was born a full ghoul." Kaneki answered.
"Then how... how?" Touka gestured toward his eyes. One was normal and the other was black and red.

"I was mad at my mom. My dad had left us when I was 3. My mom did nothing to try and stop him. She didn't try to find him. I was close to him... When he left, I felt like the world was punishing me for being this monster that ate humans and didn't care." Kaneki looked away sadly. "I was 4 when I pulled out my eye. I found a human that had the same eyes as me, and pulled out one of his eyes. I ate him afterwards. I then put his eye where my other eye used to be. My mom got mad, of course. She did nothing about it though. This made me angrier, and I ran away, hoping she would finally see how much she cared about the ones that were close to her. She didn't do anything, and after about a year, I went back to check on her. Arima, the dove was there. He had cornered her and he lifted his quinque and quickly finished her..." Kaneki looked at Touka sadly.

"She was too weak. What did you do with your other eye afterward?" Touka sounded bored.

Kaneki narrowed his eyes. "My mother was not weak. She was the one who made me ready for the world. By not caring about me, I was ready to live without her. She was the one who made me strong. She made me strong by... To put it simply, I ate her."

"You ate your own mother?!"

"I ate her." Kaneki confirmed.
Arima, look out. I will kill you, no matter what it takes.

The next day, Kaneki quickly finished his shift. Before he could leave, Touka tapped his shoulder.

"I'm sorry what happened with your mother. I didn't get to say sorry yesterday. You left so quickly."

"It's fine." Kaneki said gruffly.

"Where are you going now?"

"To find Arima and plan my next move." Kanek replied.

"Oh. Good luck then." Touka silently screamed at herself.
'I need help with English Literature. Can you tutor me?' How hard is it to say that?

Kaneki left and he walked to his apartment. He already knew where Arima was. He just needed to know what to do next.
I should find him and kill him.

That sounded so easy, and yet... It wasn't easy.

The plan actually needed something else... but what?

Kaneki thought about it for the next hour and finally came up with a plan.

He would leave for the 18th ward and start killing ghouls and humans. Once the doves started going there, he would kill the doves. (All the doves, but one.) That should lure Arima there. When he got there, he would use the dove he didn't kill. He would have a ghoul torture the dove, he would "save" the dove, best of all, he would become the dove's god. He would do anything to help his "god". He would have his dove contact Arima, asking him to meet him in an alleyway and show him some evidence, that Centipede had been there. Before showing Arima the evidence, they would go get a cup of coffee or something like that. The presented drink would have a poison in it that would make Arima paralyzed. Kaneki would then kill Arima's after the poison started taking effect. He would kill Arima the same way he had killed his mother.

Mother. Revenge is coming.

The next day, Kaneki went to work early. He talked to Yoshiruma, his uncle about his plan, and got excused for the next month.

When Touka got to work, something was off.

Let's see. Enji's here. Manager is upstairs. Irimi's shift is until later. Kaneki isn't here yet... I still have to ask him for help.

Touka decided to wait for Kaneki and worked her shift while waiting. He never came.

"Manager, where is Kaneki?" Touka asked.

"Touka. I assume you know about Kaneki's mother. Kaneki is leaving for the 18th ward to avenge her." Yoshiruma answered.

"When will he be back?"

"About a month later. Why?"

"I need help for a subject." Was all Touka said before leaving. Her shift had ended.
Let's see. He had about a day head start. Where would he be? The 18th ward. I should head there.

Touka had made quick trips to the 18th ward before. It wasn't far. About a good 30 minutes train ride away. She purchased a ticket and got on the train.

Soon, they were arriving and Touka got off, wondering where Kaneki would have went. She sniffed the air. She couldn't smell anything at all. Suddenly, someone tapped her shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" It was Kaneki.

"What are you doing here?" Touka asked.

"Let's see. I came to avenge my mother. Need a dove so I decided I might find one here. Surprisingly, I found you instead. Now answer my question. What are you doing here?"

"I came to find you." It was a simple answer that raised many questions in Kaneki's head.

"Why? Need something from me?" he frowned.

"I'm struggling in English Literature and I need help. Will you tutor me?"

"Seems like an excuse, but fine. This plan needs time anyways."

They got on the train back to the 20th ward. Kaneki was silent the whole way.
