Taking a first glance at Tokyo, it seems like an ordinary civilization, thriving like the rest of the world. However through observing closely Tokyo is everything except normal. Along side Humans walks another race known as Ghouls. The origin of these beings is unknown but their way of life is disrupting Human society. Like anything that threatens the existence of the Human population, steps were taken to eliminate these threats.

This organization is known as the Commission of Counter Ghoul, or CCG for short. Battles between the Ghouls and the CCG have been going on for quite awhile and things are escalating quickly with the birth of another organization known as Aogiri Tree, a group dedicated to giving Ghouls freedom through whatever means necessary. Members of both races are in a fight for survival however there are a few rare incidents when a being of both races is born. This being is a Hybrid of the Human and Ghoul Race, otherwise known as a One-Eyed Ghoul. These beings are the bond between the Ghouls and Humans. This is the story of one of those people. His name is Akimoto Jinto and this is the story of his legacy.

Chapter 1

Akimoto Jinto, December 12th

I stood on a the balcony my apartment complex, letting the cool afternoon breeze blow across my face. I inhaled deeply through my nose and exhaled slowly through my mouth. As I gazed out at the vibrant sunset of orange and red, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small business card. My good friend Hide had recommended me to a small Cafe not far from my apartment. I flipped the card over to the back, reading they closed at 7:30 p.m. . I shook my sleeve down my forearm and checked my wristwatch. It was only 5:47 p.m. so I had time to check the place out.

I walked back into my apartment, closing the balcony door behind me and walked over to my bedroom. I tossed the business card on a night-stand and took a seat in my computer chair. I slid across the room in my chair to the surge protector I'd plugged my phone charger into. I grabbed my phone off the charger and called Hide. After 3 beeps, he finally picked up the phone.

"Sorry man I was scrolling through this article and didn't even realize you were calling but anyways what's up" Hide said.

"Remember that Anteiku place you were telling me about"

"Yeah, what about it".

"Well they don't close until around 7, so you wanna check the place out"

"Sure, I'll pick you up in about 15 minutes" he paused, "And if you're not ready and when I get there I showing everyone that embarrassing rejection that girl gave you" Hide threatened jokingly.

"Whoa there bud, I'll be ready. No need for such rash decisions" I joked back. We both laughed and then I abruptly hung up the phone, something that got on Hide's nerves. I grabbed a fresh outfit from my clothes and took a quick 5 minute shower. After I had done everything and freshened up, I grabbed my phone, headphones and house keys. I walked out my apartment and locked the door behind myself before I walked outside the apartment complex.

As I walked outside, I noticed the sunset had become even brighter and had even more color to it. I became lost in thought as I stared at the sunset and before I realized it Hide had pulled into the parking lot and was honking the horn at me. I jumped and turned to see where the sound had come from, only to see Hide laughing through his car window. I narrowed my eyes at his as I walked over to the passenger's seat and got in. Hide turned on the radio and the news station had interrupted with a warning, "Any civilians in the 20th Ward, take extreme caution and alert authorities of any suspicious activity. There have been reported sightings of the Binge Eater in the 20th Ward...".

Hide and I looked at each other worryingly. "Well isn't that some news" I said staring out the window at the passing buildings. Hide nodded in agreement as the Emergency warning had ended. The normal station had started playing various songs from underground artists. Majority of the songs were pretty good and I made a mental note to add them to my playlist later.

About 5 minutes after the end of the Emergency warning, we'd arrived at Anteiku. It was a small modest establishment that I found visually quite appealing. As we walked through the entrance doors, a wave of warm coffee scented air hit me. The smell of the coffee made me anxious to try it so I rushed Hide over to a seat. Hide being Hide was preoccupied checking out some of the girls around us. I shyly glanced around at some of the women in the Cafe.

While Hide was still looking around, our waitress walked up to our table. She had dark hair straight hair with part of her hair covering the right side of her face. She was very attractive and I only briefly made eye contact. "Hello, my name is Touka and I'll be your waitress for today" she said curtly. As she said this Hide snapped out of whatever daydream he was in and glanced up at her. I already knew what he was gonna do but I prayed he wasn't going to do it. Before he could say anything else I quickly gave her our order of two Lattes. She quickly wrote down the order and was heading back to the front counter to give the order when Hide called out to her.

"Hey excuse Miss" He called out. She turned around and I shot Hide a look. "You better not Hide" I said but was only responded with a devilish grin from Hide. I let out a deep breath as the waitress, Touka reached out table.

"You don't mind if I ask you two very quick questions, do you" Hide asked her innocently. She shook her head, "Ask away".

"Alright so question one, who old are you".

"I'm 17".

Hide glanced over at me still grinning, "Good. Question two, would you by any chance be single".

She blushed lightly before quickly answering, "Yes, I am", and with that she walked back to the counter to put in our orders. Hide turned his head and we made eye contact. He laughed at the glare I was giving him and I just flipped him off. He leaned forward slightly, "Come on man she's perfect for you. She's your type dude". "She may be but still" I stopped for a moment and chose my next words carefully, "After the little 'incident' with the last girl, I just want a break". He nodded understandingly and leaned back in his chair. I slid on my headphones and played my music. It'd been about 5 minutes before Touka had came back with our Lattes.

The coffee was some of the best coffee I'd ever tasted before and I enjoyed it so much that I almost ordered another but I controlled myself. Hide and I both finished our drinks and got up to go. Hide payed for the drinks while I left a tip on the table. Hide chuckled to himself as he saw me lay down the tip. It was a bit more than what I usually gave as tips and I wasn't sure what made me give the extra but I ignored the thoughts. We walked out the Cafe and Hide took me back to my apartment. I waved him goodbye and unlocked my apartment door. As I closed the door, I emptied my pockets onto my bed and walked back out to my balcony.

As I stared out into Tokyo I felt my thoughts wander off to what I'd heard earlier. The Binge Eater was out and about in the 20th Ward, but why, I asked myself. The 20th Ward was no special place by any means and the only thing out of place was me. Being a One-Eyed Ghoul, I was a Hybrid of both races. I might taste different, I thought jokingly. I thought of plenty of little consiparcy theories in my head but was interrupted by a sharp scream that was cut off abruptly and was followed by crazed laughter. I spotted the general direction of the noises and leaped off my balcony and into the night. My Kagune pierced through my skin and the wing-like structure extended gliding me through the air onto a nearby roof.

I jumped and glided from rooftop to rooftop until I heard another scream from the same general area. I quickened my pace as I heard the crazed laughter so close it was as if it were right below me. As I thought this I glanced downward mid-flight and saw the source of the noise. Kneeling on the ground beside a decapitated corpse was a purple haired woman who closely resembled... I froze as I landed smoothly on the ground. "The Binge Eater" I muttered, fear layered throughout my voice. The purple haired woman slowly stood as I said the nickname the people of Tokyo had given her. "Pleasure to meet you, Night Angel. I am Tokyo's one and only Binge Eater" She said dramatically, giving a mocking bow. Her crazed eyes were fixed on me as she inched closer to me, step by step.

I back away not only from fear but common sense. I stood no chance against on of the strongest ghouls in Tokyo. We stared each other in the eyes as her Kagune tentacles crept around from her back and all of them pointed at me. "Let's have some fun, pretty boy" she said before dashing at me, her Kagune aimed at my gut.

To be continued in Chapter 2...
