Spider Lilies (彼岸花)

A/N It's been a while since I've read Tokyo Ghoul and I've only skimmed through most of Re:. I got a lot of this information from wiki and skimming so feel free to correct me if I have anything wrong and just know that I will likely be editing chapters once I finish reading. Also I reeeeeeeeally suck at writing battle scenes so ^^;;

Prologue

Red…and the deep voice of a man were the first things she remembered greeting her as she was birthed into the new world.

At the time she didn't know where she was or how she got there. All she remembered was the face of a tired looking woman and the soothing lullaby she sang.

Her new body was sticky and hot while her vision was so blurred she couldn't even make out most of the colors surrounding her. She tried to scrunch her eyes to see better but just as she did a pale white color blocked her vision. She waved her arms feebly in an effort to clear her vision but something stopped her and the deep voice began to mumble something as if it was trying to calm her down.

"Now, now koibito-chan. Papa just wants to see your face."

Though it took some time she was able to realize that the deep voice was coming from her new father. For months, until her vision cleared, she found herself being drawn to his voice and listened carefully to each and every word he whispered to her.

"I've heard most babies your age aren't as calm as you koibito-chan. You really are living up to your name aren't you?"

"Maa, maa Nagi-chan. Trying to make me bald, are we? We can't have that can we now?"

It was through his whispering and the raw strips of meat and organs she was fed that Nagi made the connection between her universe and the manga Tokyo Ghoul.

A normal person should have freaked out and may have even tried to deny their cannibalistic nature but Nagi never was normal. Her apathetic personality had many perks and not caring was one of them. Be it cannibalism, adultery or any other thing religion and morality restricted she didn't care as long as she was left alone.

Also, why bother going through an identity crisis and denying herself when she had a whole new life ahead of her. Being a ghoul, there were already people out there who wanted to kill her just for what she was. Why waste that time breaking down when she could use it to learn how to survive.

That being said she snuggled deeper into her father's warm chest and let his heartbeat lull her into a slumber.
