Chapter 1 - First Dates Can Be Bloody

Tokyo, Japan's capital, is famous for its vibrant blend of ancient traditions and modern innovations, including iconic landmarks like Shibuya Crossing, the Tokyo Skytree, and the Imperial Palace, as well as its thriving culture of anime, manga, and electronics. 

However, it is infamously known for housing various districts inhabited by ghouls. At first glance, a ghoul's external appearance is identical to that of a normal human, however, internally, it's another story. However, even the weakest of Ghouls possess an innate physiology that enables them to vastly outclass that of a normal human.

Ghouls possess enhanced physical abilities, regenerative healing factors, and an invulnerability to conventional weapons, however, the power scale varies from individuals, mostly depending on how well-fed the ghoul is. All ghouls possess a kagune, a biological organ unique to their physiology that serves as their natural weaponry and or armor.

But what they're most famous for is being humanity's only natural predator, as they can only survive by devouring human flesh. Despite all the evidence, a large majority of the population doesn't believe ghouls to be real, as they have not personally met them.

One such human ignorant of the existence of ghouls is currently sitting at a table in a café named Anteiku. He is a male with black hair and eyes and an average Japanese male physique. Across from him sat his best friend, a boy with blonde hair and golden eyes named Nagachika Hideo.

Who wasn't paying much attention to what his best friend was telling him as he was busy trying and spectacularly failing to flirt with a waitress? The waitress has blue hair with bangs covering one of her blue eyes and possesses an attractive, athletic physique, an overall Japanese beauty named Kirishima Touka.

Touka: Will that be all, sir?

Hideo: Yeah! Kaneki sighed, embarrassed by his loud and obnoxious best friend. He truly respects the girl for being able to remain stoic through all that.

Kaneki: Please stop badgering the poor girl, Hideo, she clearly isn't interested.

Hideo: Fine, fine! Anyway…. Is that her? The girl you're so in love with sitting over there?

Kaneki: Hide! Shh! Shh. But he was right. Although it wasn't love per say, but it was closer to an innocent and pure admiration towards the woman Hideo was pointing at than love. She is a mature beauty with purple hair and eyes of the same color hidden behind the red-rimmed glasses she wears. She held in her hands a book titled "The Black Goat" Her name is Kamishiro Rize.

Hideo: So she is the reason you come here so much? Is that why you called me over? Hide smirked, I'm impressed you finally grew some balls to ask her out.

Kaneki: No, it's not that. It's just… My cousin is going to visit, and I wanted you to meet him.

Hideo: You mean that asshole with a horse face, Jean Kirestin?

Kaneki: No, not him, my mom has another sister, but they don't live in Tokyo.

Hideo: Why is this the first time I've heard about this, I thought you trusted me. He then grabs Kaneki and starts shaking him while pretending to cry like some anime character, causing Kaneki to cringe.

Kaneki: Yeah, he graduated from high school not long ago.

Hideo: Really, which school did he graduate from?

Kaneki: He graduated from Hakoniwa Academy.

Hideo: WHOA! Your cousin must be some kind of genius!!!! Wait Are you sure you're related?

Kaneki: Yeah, he really is... Wait, what's that supposed to mean!?

While the two were talking, Rize was listening carefully. What the two were unaware of was that Kaneki's crush was a ghoul, along with almost everyone else in the shop, as Anteiku was a hotspot for ghouls.

She had her eyes on Kankei for a while now. He could be a good snack, she thought to herself while licking her lips sensually. Suddenly, she was pulled out of her thoughts and froze, along with every other ghoul in the shop.

What…..

Is that divine smell they all thought in their heads? Their question was soon answered as the source of the smell entered the shop. A male with blue eyes and dark hair, equipped with a swimmer's build, entered Antiku named Kumagawa Misogi.

Hideo: Kaneki that guy that just walked in he's your cousin right?

Kaneki: Yes. Kumgawa soon, upon entering Kumgawa he noticed his cousin and one of the few normals, possibly the only one that he liked as a friend.

Both Kaneki and Hideo waved their hands at Kumgawa to get his attention. However, he stopped on the way as he noticed Rize.

Kumagawa: "Excuse me, isn't that one of Takasugi Sen's books." Unlike what some may think, Kumgawa didn't solely read Shōnen Jump.

Rize: Oh? How interesting, I don't meet many people interested in it.

Kumagawa: Maybe we can talk more about it. Rize: How about four?

Kumagawa: District center?

Rize: It's a date. She then finished drinking her coffee, followed by packing up her book, and left with a cheerful smile on her face.

As Kumgawa came closer to the two boys, Hideo put his shoulder on Kaneki, with a small smirk on his face, looked him in the eyes with pity.

Hideo: "Kaneki you just got NTred." Hearing this Kaneki began moaning in depression. Your cousin is really smooth. I already like him. Again are you sure you two are related to Kaneki?

Kaneki's face began too twitch in annoyance upon hearing this.

Kumgawa: Yo! Kaneki snapped out of his depression upon hearing Kumagawa's voice.

He then quickly recomposed himself and then introduced Kumagawa to Hideo.

Hideo: Mad respect for what you just did! Although, Kaneki isn't so thrilled about it. He said with a mocking smile.

Kumgawa: Ehhh Ken-chan liked her?

Kaneki: It's alright…. Before Kaneki could finish his sentence, Kumgawa quickly interrupts him and changes the topic, not wanting to be bothered with it.

Kumagawa: Maybe my little present will cheer you up. He then proceeded to hand them two pieces of paper to his cousin and his friend. Seeing the gift, both of the boys stared at Kumagawa in shock. Kaneki: T…T…..T….this….

Hideo: You got tickets to Kiyoterae!?

Kumgawa: Yes, let's just say I have a friend.

Kaneki: Are sure this is alright, wouldn't it be better to take Rize there? 

Kumgawa: No, it's fine. Rize-chan doesn't seem like the type to enjoy noise, to begin with.

After a while, the time for his date came along. As it turns out, Rize came earlier than him. First, they went to dinner to eat, where Rize refused to eat, saying she was on a diet. 

They talked about books and while he did like Takasugi Sen's book, he admitted he liked the foreign writer H.P. Lovecraft. Rize said she also liked his work, as she managed to read some of his books. The two even went to a movie overall, a pretty successful date, and right now they were walking down a dark alley.

Throughout the whole date, Rize never once took her attention off him. Her bloodlust was directed at him the entire time! If he were more emotional, his heart might've fluttered! 

Rize: This was a great date, Kumagawa-san! Yeah, I enjoyed it as well. Her voice took a more sinister tone, truly…..?

Rizes eyes then suddenly changed, the sclera became black while the pupil was red. Four crimson tentacles popped out, a Rinkaku Kagune sprouted through her back, revealing her identity as a ghoul. 

Kumgawa: Ugh! I expected this to happen, but I hoped that you were referring to my dick.

Hearing this causes her to stutter and falter at the unbelievability that this guy was thinking of getting a blowjob from her, despite the fact she's about to kill and eat him. 

During this brief pause, Kumgawa moved at a speed faster than anyone she'd ever seen, so much so that even with her enhanced senses she failed to track him. 

Kumagawa appears in front of her and begins to aggressively kiss her while groping her breasts with one hand and the other rubbing her pussy.

She experiences a burst of pleasure as she moans erotically, the pleasure is so sudden and intense that she orgasms a little bit.

kumagawa is able to know weakness of any person he sees, and yes that includes sexual weakness as well.

He then suddenly stops his assault and jumps onto her face and uses her as a launching platform and backflips several meters, and in the process staggering Rize.

He's incredible, it seems to be a waste to kill him. Should I keep him alive and use him as a pet and just eat him later when I get bored?

These were the current thoughts plaguing her mind. Before Ultimately deciding to just eat him.

One of her tentacles rapidly stretched out and bound Kumgawa's leg all while having a deranged smile 

Kumgawa: The date was good, but…... .Now this is my type of fun!

He pulled his wrapped leg back and swung her right through a cement wall face first through the cement. 

Seeing no other option she released her kagune which was still wrapped around his leg and go and she was thrown aside. However, Rize quickly recovered from this attack and smiled at him.

I have to say I never had prey fighting back…..

This is a good change of pace, she said with a sinister smile on her face. 

Rize performed a series of jabs with her Kagune, yet Kumagawa dogged them all with ease. As she saw his fist raised, she pulled back her kagune as a shield, no longer underestimating his strength.

As the punch connected with her Kagune her body was blown back dozens of meters till she crashed right through a brick wall. 

When she got up, she saw Kumagawa not paying any attention to her, enraged that she was being looked down on by a human.

She launched her Kagune and pierced his chest. However, he didn't seem the least bit bothered, in fact, a sinister smile came on his face stretching far beyond what should be humanly possible as a dark aura erupted from him.

This was the moment when she realized she wasn't the predator, she was the prey. He gripped her kagune and yanked her all the way into his arms. 

Confused by his actions, she was unable to attack him and then placed her on the ground, much to her confusion. That was until she saw steel bars falling from above them. 

Her life flashed before her eyes she closed her eyes and waited for the imminent impact, only it never came as he protected her using his own body. The minus pulled the bars aside and emerged rubble completely unharmed, shocking her. As she tried to make sense of what was happening, he smiled at her and simply said 

So….. will there be a second date he asked.

Eh??????
