Suicidal Ghoul

Chapter 3

Kaneki's Apartment

The ivory head emo opened his freezer and saw human body parts inside it. He picked up a small one before swallowing it whole.

Kaneki went back to his living room and turned on the news before sitting down on his couch. It was a lousy rainy night for him and he didn't turn on the lights.

He suddenly smelled a familiar scent. He was sure that he smelled this person before. This person is on the other side of his door right now.

This person knocked on his door and Kaneki walked towards it before opening it.

As he opened it, he saw a masked man pointing a two barrelled shotgun on him. The man fired two times at Kaneki's face.

The bullets shattered on impact from Kaneki's face but the force made him stumbled backwards as he felt like he was being punched in the face by Touka so hard.

Kaneki held his head as he began cracking his fingers before disappearing from the man's eyesight.

The masked man blinked. He just lost Kaneki. His eyes scanned throughout his surroundings as the man cursed under his breath. Where did that emo go? He was just there and now he's gone? Where the hell is he? How can he moved so fast?

He turned his head around and saw a white haired monster standing behind him from the dark. It had two red tentacles on it's back. The man froze in fear at what he saw. The monster's left eye is black and red while his other is just a normal grey. The monster was smiling and cracking his fingers.

The man suddenly realized that he had already dropped his gun out of fear. He took a step back while his legs were shaking. He's f****d! There's no way he can defeat that monster.

The monster stepped forward, revealing himself to be the white haired teenager that he was suppose to spy then kill. He is Ken Kaneki. The new recruit of Task Force X.

The masked man screamed in pain as he saw Kaneki punched his chest so stong that it went inside. Blood began dripping on his nose and mouth while Kaneki pulled out his still beating heart before crushing it in front of his eyes. The man gives out his final breath as Kaneki ate the crushed heart.

Kaneki's neighbors heard the man's screaming from Kaneki's apartment and they were too scared to intervene or go out to find out what's happening in there.

Kaneki needs to get away from here. He has to. He realized that this was one of joker's men. That's why he smelled familiar.

He needs to clean up this whole place before finding a new one to stay. But where?

An idea suddenly popped up in his head as he started cleaning.

Rick suddenly heard a knock from his door. He sat up on his bed before proceeding to the door and opening it.

As he opened it, he saw Ken Kaneki on his usual black attire. He was wet because of the rain and he had blood all over his face.

"What the hell?!" Flag exclaimed.

"I got attacked by one of joker's men in my apartment. They knew where I live. I have already called Amanda to cover up my apartment and create a convincing story to the news. She told me that I can stay here for the meanwhile until she finds a new place for me." Kaneki informed.

"No! Get the f**k out of my house! Get out!" Flag refused and slammed the door shut. Why would he help a dangerous man-eating monster that looked like humans? He doesn't want a ghoul living in his house. He might try to eat June and him when they are sleeping.

Kaneki looked down and stared at the wet ground. "Understood." With that, he turned around and slowly started walking away in the rain.

Kaneki suddenly heard a strong voice from behind. "Hey! Get inside before you'll get a cold."

He turned around and saw that it was Flag. The soldier has changed his mind. He was standing by his door with a young woman. Kaneki smiled and started running towards Flag.

All of them got inside while Flag closed the door and walked towards Kaneki.

"Don't do anything stupid. You got that?" Flag threatened as he grabbed Kaneki's hand.

"I do. Now, let go of me." Kaneki replied.

Flag let go of his hand while Kaneki looked around.

"You can sleep in the couch. But no TV." Flag informed.

"Fine." Kaneki agreed as he leaned against the wall while cracking his fingers.

Rick looked at Kaneki's fingers and saw his blackened nails. Kaneki was cracking his fingers as Flag continued staring at it while June walked up the stairs to her bedroom.

"I'm going back to sleep, Rick." June informed as she opened the door and went inside to their bedroom.

"Why do you have black nails? Why do you always crack your fingers? Why is your hair white?" Flag questioned. He noticed that he was always cracking his fingers ever since they met. He also noticed that his fingernails were black. People don't have black fingernails. They don't. Also, why is his hair white? His white is not dyed and people don't have white hair unless they're old. It doesn't make sense.

Kaneki sighed and looked up before staring at the cold white ceiling. "Trust me. You don't wanna know." He doesn't want to talk about how Yamori tortured him while Rize played with his mind. He doesn't want to bring that subject. He just had enough.

"Well, I don't trust you. So, can you please tell me?"

Kaneki took a deep breath before looking at Flag with his cold piercing grey eyes. "It was a ghoul. A ghoul named Yamori. He captured me. And he.... Tortured me. He tried to break my mind and will. He was making me his play thing. He enjoyed it. He changed my spirit. I longed for death at that time until I realized he will never stop torturing me. So, I escaped and defeated him. After that, I ate him."

"You're really are a cannibal." Flag commented, "You still didn't fully explain why do you have white hair and the black nails."

"You see, my hair was once black but it turned white when I accepted I was ghoul and that I must do anything to survive so that I can protect my loved ones. My nails became black because Yamori pulled out my fingernails with his damn pliers and everytime my fingernails grow back, he would just pull it out again, over and over." Kaneki explained, "I developed some of his traits after the torture. Yamori made sense of what he did and said. So, I killed him before eating his filthy corpse." He gritted his teeth in anger. He doesn't like to say anything about the torture that Yamori inflicted upon him. He hated that memory every f*****g day.

Flag sighed. He was wrong about Kaneki. He didn't became a monster because he wants to. It's because he was forced to and he had no choice. "Well, I'm sorry, Kaneki. I misjudged you."

Batcave

Bruce leaned back on his seat before typing on his computer. The wide screen suddenly showed about Ken Kaneki. Bruce was researching Kaneki because Joker just tried to kill him. His full attention was focusing on the screen. Why? Why Joker tried to kill him? What did Kaneki do to interest him? Bruce was brought back to reality when a familiar voice interrupted him. It was his butler. Alfred Pennyworth.

"Master Wayne. Amanda Waller requests your presence. She's outside the living room right now, sir." Alfred informed.

"Noted, Alfred." Bruce replied.

~~~

"What is it, Amanda?" Bruce asked as he placed his hands on the table.

"Kaneki needs a place to stay. The Joker knew where he lived." Amanda informed as she leaned back on her seat.

"I see. You want me to live with the white haired emo. But first, I want you to tell me everything about him. Who is he? Why is the Joker interested in him? Everything."

"Sure." Amanda agreed.

~~~

It was a bright sunny morning outside as Kaneki clenched his fists before opening his eyes. He was lying on a couch while he just remembered about the agreement that he made with Amanda Waller.

"I want you to help us find The Joker and Harley Quinn. Your fighting style and abilities are very remarkable. I need you to remain at Task Force X. I have already dicussed this with the goverment. Now, do you agree to this conditions?"

"As long as you provide me fresh corpses. Sure."

He sat up and held his head before cracking his fingers.

"What the hell?!" Flag exclaimed as he saw Kaneki's kakugan eye. He almost dropped his coffee that he was holding.

Kaneki turned his attention to Rick. He doesn't know that his Kakugan eye was showing. "What?" He asked.

"Your left eye!" Flag informed while pointing at Kaneki's left eye.

"Oh, sorry about that!" Kaneki pulled out his white medical eyepatch from his pocket and put it on.

"What was that?" Flag questioned as he lowered his hand and began walking towards the white haired emo.

"That was just my kakugan eye. My eye will become into that if I'm in a lot of pressure and stress or for unknown reasons. I can't control it since I'm not a full ghoul." Kaneki informed.

They suddenly heard a knock from the door. They wonder who it was.

"I'll go." Kaneki declared and with that, he walked towards the door and opened it.

The white haired emo widened his eyes as he saw who it was. It was...
