A/N: Tokyo Ghoul fanfic here I come

Expect OC's and setting to start somewhere else in the world (because they do)

1st Person Fanfic

Hi, my name is Sora Chao. It's a weird name, I know. I have a weird family. My parents were both huge fans of the Kingdom Hearts series, so they ended up naming their child after the protagonist. Go figure.

But the weirdness of my family doesn't really start there. It actually starts wayyy back on my mother's side. Why? Well, I'm 1/16th ghoul.

I have no idea how it started. All I know is that one of my great-great-grandparents was a ghoul. Don't ask, I don't know which one. Either way, the ghoul side of my family continued to mingle with regular humans until eventually it got down to the most recent generation: Me.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in existence that's 1/16th ghoul. We've kept pretty quiet about it though. No need to alert the CCG to the existence of our family. It's actually been pretty easy adapting to this. My grandfather was the first part-ghoul to not have to worry about only eating humans. He could eat like anyone else and absorb nutrients the exact same way as humans. The slight downside being that he discovered that he didn't have a kakuhou. Makes sense, I guess. There's gotta be a point where dilution happens and we lose some ghoul traits

While that side of our family was part ghoul, we were essentially human. Traces of the kakugan that you usually see in ghouls slowly disappeared. As of now, the only trace of a kakugan in our family is me. And that's just my right pupil. Not even my entire eye. Which anyone can attribute to heterochromia. We don't have any kagune, kakuhou, that kind of stuff.

Granted there's also the ghoul side of my family. We actually keep in touch pretty often. They're all good people. The younger ones are a bit wild, but they grow out of that over time. The ghouls in our family also does a whole bunch of stuff for the community. They're actually the reason that most people don't notice suicide victims in our city. Mostly because they eat them, but yeah. Convenient way to avoid any the law. And it helps to clean up the city.

But I think that's enough about my family. As much as I don't like the attention, this story is pretty much my story. And how I became a… well, 9/16th ghoul. It's kinda weird.

As I said earlier, my name is Sora. I'm a 19 year old guy with somewhat messy black hair, egg-shaped face, and a pair of mismatched eyes. But you guys knew about the mismatched eyes already. Oh, and I don't really have any muscle. Gotta remember that for when people ask me to play basketball with them. Tennis is ok-ish.

Right now, I'm a student studying biology at MIT, with a minor in East Asian Languages. Yeah I skipped a couple grades. I don't really like mentioning it. I'd like to say that I'm an average student. Unfortunately, I can't, seeing as I'm one of the younger guys in my classroom and the professors seem to love me. I don't understand why. All I do is just ask them questions about the occasional thing that doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't almost every student do that here?

That aside, I'm actually studying biology to see if I can find a connection between ghouls and humans and where the split between them happens. Maybe even find a way to make a synthesized meat that can be consumed instead of humans. Because let's face it, coexisting is a tad bit tough when the people in question happen to be predator and prey. One of the upsides of being part ghoul is that I get an interesting perspective on life, looking at both sides of ghouls and humans.

At the same time, being part ghoul does have its downsides. Not socially though. The big problem with being even a teeny bit ghoul is that you smell weird to other ghouls. Which usually means that they want to eat you. Ah the problems of having a unique flavor. Goddammit.

I didn't even know the guy was a ghoul. All I knew was that he was a new student at the start of the semester. Next thing I know, the guy, Sosei, was asking me to work with him for a group project. Normally I'd say no, just because I have trust issues when I work on group projects. One time, my economics grade almost became a B because my groupmates were downright terrible at presenting the project. However, Sosei was pretty smart, so I figured we could work together on it. Unfortunately for me, he decided the moment we were done for the day, he would drag me out to the backyard and stab me right through the stomach. Yeah sue me, I know. I should've seen it coming. Only reason I managed to survive that was because one of my ghoul cousins happened to be nearby.

Andy was always one of the smarter guys in our family. He managed to kill Sosei quickly and then make it look like it was an accident. A few moments later, the ambulance arrived and took me and Sosei's dead body to the hospital. At that point, I was pretty sure I was dead no matter what. Somehow, I managed to survive, and that's where this story starts.

I blinked for a few moments before my eyes adjusted to the light. I groaned. Light adjustment was always tough for me. Especially because my eyes are particularly sensitive.

"Oh good you're awake." A voice said.

Sitting up, I turned to the source of the voice. Andy was sitting in a chair nearby, relief written all over his face. He may have been a ghoul, but the way he acted was just as human as the rest of us.

Oh yeah. Maybe I should describe Andy so you guys can follow. Andy's this pretty tall guy, about two years older than me. He's one of those guys that girls always seem to want, with the way his eyes almost always seem to sparkle. He almost always has this really nice smile on his face. And yeah, like I said earlier, he's a ghoul. I think he's a… Bikaku? Was it? I don't remember which type he was exactly. He's actually a biology student like me as well.

Looking around, I noticed I was in a hospital bed.

"When did you get me to the hospital?" I asked.

Andy almost frowned for a moment. "After Sosei had his…accident," he said, choosing his words carefully (I knew he killed him, but we needed to be careful in a public place), "I found you guys, called 911 and they rushed you over here as quickly as possible."

It made sense. But that also brought up another question that I felt needed answering.

"How am I alive?"

I was pretty sure I was dead no matter what. Getting stabbed through the stomach like that isn't exactly beneficial to my health, and I'm pretty sure Sosei ripped out a couple of organs while he was trying to figure out what to eat first.

Andy shrugged. "You actually got pretty lucky there. You remember Doctor Kanou? The guy who gave that lecture about organ transplants last week?" I nodded, remembering that lecture. "He actually did some last second miracle and managed to save your life by transplanting some of Sosei's organs into you. I didn't see the actual process itself, but what he did saved your life."

My eyes widened for a second. What the heck? I didn't know people could pull off stuff like that. It was weird though. My shoulders felt kind of weird, but I figured that was alright. Come to think of it, the area where I was pierced feels kind of weird also. Although that might just be from the organ transplant.

"So," Andy said, "how are you feeling for a guy who just missed death?"

I frowned. "Well, my shoulders feel kind of weird, as well as the back of my waist. It's like there's something repositioning itself at my shoulder. I have no idea why though. It kind of feels like there's something that could burst out at any moment."

At those words, Andy's smile completely disappeared, being replaced by a completely serious face. I knew that face. It usually meant something bad was going on.

"Oh no. Oh no no no. He couldn't have, could he?" Andy muttered. "I knew Sosei was a ghoul, but for him to have that?"

I was confused. What was Andy talking about? Seeing my questioning gaze, Andy sighed and handed me the answers, leaning in close so no one else would hear.

"I think Dr. Kanou did more than transplant your organs. I'm pretty sure he implanted Sosei's kakuhou's, both of them, into you. Maybe by accident. It doesn't look too different from a kidney. The feeling you just described? That's what a kakuhou feels like."

"Both of them?" I asked.

Andy frowned. "I think Sosei had two. Usually ghouls only have the feeling you have in one area. That's the only explanation I can think of."

…Well… that happened.

So apparently, I'm a ghoul now. With two different kagune apparently. Time to go have a talk with the rest of my family. Hopefully we can figure something out.

New fanfic!

Tokyo Ghoul is sucking away my life away (manga, not anime). The only cure… is to write.
