I died.

Crushed to death under piles and piles of scaffolding, but I awoke in a room.

The white walls around me seemed blinding after the long darkness that I had been through.

I'd been told that dying felt like falling asleep, but it wasn't.

You sit, in blackness, and wait, and wait.

And you slowly go insane.

Your thoughts are twisted, all you want is to go back.

Thoughts of loved ones.

Thoughts of your future.

That you'd never see.

However when I awoke in this bright room, all my thoughts seemed to shut up.

All I could think was: how.

I'd spent the past few hours, or days, or however long it was preparing for the worst... now this!

I found myself sat on a wooden chair, there was no arms and it seemed like it would break at any moment, creaking at my slightest movement.

Once I'd finally calmed down my heartbeat I stood up.

"There is no need to move, my love." A female voice, one I fondly recognised.

"Mum?" I called out but nobody stood around me.

"Son, you're dead." A male voice, this time it was my father.

"Dad, what's happening." I asked, but I got no reply.

"You're better off dead." A third voice shouted to me.

"Y/N, you deserve your fate." A fourth.

"I would've killed him myself." A fifth.

Laughter filled my ears, I couldn't make out anymore words.

Now, was this what they called insanity?

Am I actually sat home, am I dreaming?

...

No this is real.

Slowly, my mind started to turn.

Days passed.

Weeks came and went.

Nothing ever changed.

The laughter, the snide remarks.

On what I assume was the 30th day, I snapped.

"WILL YOU ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP! OR I'LL COME BACK TO LIFE AND EAT YOU ALL."

I was after all, a ghoul, eating humans was my forte.

"Y/N, you're dead, you can never reach us." A voice spoke before laughter erupted again.

I took out my Kagune and smashed through the wall.

I stepped into the opening I had opened up and the voices were silenced.

I laughed historically myself.

"Is this all it took, to return to the world of the living. Be prepared, you're all going to die."

Touka POV

I slowly lifted my head up from my desk, removing the hairs from my mouth.

It was 6:00 am, I'd been up most of the night studying for an exam that was happening soon at my school.

I must have fallen asleep at some point...

I shrugged off my sleepiness and headed towards the bathroom to have a shower and get dressed.

~~~~~~

Today was Saturday, other than working at Anteiku I didn't have much planned.

Luckily, living right above the coffee shop meant that being late was almost impossible, unless I over slept.

I headed out of my room and down the stairs and I found myself in the back room, the entire shop seemed to be empty, which wasn't entirely unusual but I expected Mr Yoshimora to be at least setting up as we opened at 6:30.

I checked my watch, it was 6:15 right now...

Maybe I should just get started, a lot of people stop off her on their way to work so I wouldn't want to let them down.

With that I started the morning chores.

~~~~~~

Y/N POV

I counted sixteen dead bodies, lay spread out on the floor.

Whether they were the voices or not.

I killed them all.

Now for my feast, I'd been dead for 2 weeks in human terms.

How I came back to life was a complete mystery, I just don't think I ever truly died.

Fuck it, I'm starving, I'm digging in.

However, I never got to start eating.

"So, you're the person everyone has been screaming about." A tall man in a suit stood behind me, he looked like a waiter of some sort.

"Do you mind, I'm trying to eat." I could easily tell that this man was like me, a ghoul, however he was insanely strong...

"Yes... you killed sixteen people and for what, breakfast?" He retorted calmly.

"Yes." I ripped the leg of one of the men and started to eat his thigh.

I'm not sure why but I feel like Women's thighs taste a lot better than mens.

"Then, come with me." He reaches down gently to grab my should but I activate my Kagune and stabbed his wrist without removing my food from my mouth.

"I'd appreciate if you left me alone, lest you get yourself eaten too." I smiled like a psychopath and removed my Kagune.

"Sorry, but I'm not taking no for an answer." I didn't have time to react before I'd been knocked unconscious...

~~~~~~

"He smells... like blood... a lot of blood."

As I slowly started to regain consciousness the first voice I heard was female, not one I recognised at all.

I opened my eyes to find myself lay on a sofa, the woman I heard was sat on a sofa on the other side of a table with the man that knocked me out stood right behind her.

"Old man..." I said groggily whilst sitting up. "I thought I told you to leave me to eat."

"I had a proposition for you, but you wouldn't listen. So I had no other choice." His voice sounded strong but with a hint of sadness.

"I don't care, I'm going hunting since I have no food now." I jumped to my feet and started to head towards the door, however some sort of blood lust coming the behind me caught me off guard for a moment. "Which one of you wants to kill me then?"

"Me." The female voice called out to me with her head down.

"So what's your name beautiful." I asked and the girl showed me her face and even if my retort was joking she really was pretty.

Her hair was a sort of purple ish colour and her eyes were red, her Kagune was out so I assumed this was just her ghoul eyes. Her real eyes must be a different colour.

"You won't need to know my name when you're dead!"

Death, eh.

"You know nothing of death." I said simply before leaving, however I simply found myself in a coffee shop.

The tables were empty and the entire place seemed closed.

I headed straight for the exit and tried to open it up, and it was locked.

"Fucking brilliant." I muttered under my breath whilst looking around, I was literally trapped inside of this coffee shop.

I wasn't lost in my thoughts for long because Touka came running through the door and pulled me down to her.

I was quite a bit taller than her.

"I'm going to say this once, and I'm not going to repeat myself. You're going to work here for the rest of your life, no killing anyone you're to act like a human all the time. Got that?"

Her intimidation tactic wasn't working that well as I got into her face and felt her breath on my face.

Her face went red and I was inches away from her lips. "Now you listen to me, love, I'm going to do nothing of the sort. Now be a doll and open up the door so I can leave." I could feel her shaking as I spoke and it left me feeling rather embarrassed myself.

Damn, this girl was beautiful and thought she could be alpha, that's adorable.

Hmm, I might just be falling for her...

Touka refused to pull away from me, and I didn't move from her.

Time just kept passing by as we stared at each other.

Until a bell rang, it was a quick chime but it pulled us both back to reality and I stood myself back up straight, my back cracking from the subdued angle I was at.

The one who had rung the bell was a boy with black hair and an eye patch over his eye. "I hate to break this up but the store is about to open."

Bingo, that meant the door was open.

I turned my back on Touka and headed towards the exit again.

And simply left, nobody stopped me this time.

The old man was nowhere to be seen, the boy probably had no idea what was going on and Touka was to in shock.

~~~~~~

Minutes turned into hours, hours into days.

I hadn't been to that coffee shop in just under a week and I felt something in my chest for the entire time.

It hurt like hell, it felt like there was a hole, and no amount of eating could heal it.

Every night I lay in bed and I couldn't get my thoughts away from the girl.

I wasn't even sure what colour her eyes were, but I knew that they'd be absolutely gorgeous...

Why am I thinking about this?

I gave up arguing with myself and realised the truth, I was in love with this girl.

Touka...

~~~~~~

So here I am, at Anteiku, the coffee shop where I had first met her.

I walked inside and took a seat at the window.

Nobody seemed to acknowledge me entering, except for one person.

"Hello, what can I get you?"

"Old man." I looked at him and he knew exactly who I was. "I'll take a coffee please."

"Right away." That's all he needed to say, but I understood that he knew what I was here for.

"Thanks."

I waited a while, just staring out of the window and wondering how I was going to say what I needed.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice The old man walking back towards me with a to-go coffee cup. "Back room."

I took the cup and without another word sprinted towards the doorway and into the room.

If I hadn't run, I probably would've turned back, and regretted it.

As I stepped inside the back room I found it empty except for one person, the exact one I wanted to meet.

"Hey Touka." I say awkwardly, all my preparation and charisma left me the moment I saw the girls beautiful eyes.

They were purple, not a usual colour, but a beautiful one.

"What is it..." She seemed rather embarrassed by me walking towards her.

I sat directly next to her so our shoulders were rubbing together. Despite her obvious nervousness she didn't move away.

"I have something to admit... and I never thought I'd be here doing this..." I took a deep breath before continuing. "Suppose it's now or never. Touka... I have no idea what your last name is... I think I'm in love with you."

She gasped and moved away from me ever so slightly before turning to look at me dead in the eyes. Not the best start to my first ever confession.

"Think?" She asked after a moment of silence.

"I've never experienced love before... so I'm not sure what the feeling is. But I cannot get you out of my mind no matter what I'm doing. All I can call that is love."

She seemed genuinely suprised by my words but seemingly happy at the same time.

"I see... if that's the case..." She paused and looked down her face bright red. "Then I think I'm in love with you too"

It was my turn to gasp, as I moved closer to Touka's face. This time instead of intimidating her it was to kiss her.

However I paused just before I reached her lips, and whispered lightly. "Ready?"

I didn't give her chance to reply before I pulled her closer to me and our lips connected.

She tasted like blood, and it was the best tasting thing I'd ever had.

Neither of us wanted to pull away, we just kept kissing for a long time.

"I really love you." Touka spat out inbetween breathes and I smirked lightly holding this dear girl close to me.

I found someone to actually love me.

"I love you Touka."

~~~~~~

This is my first ever one shot so sorry if it isn't great, I just wanted to keep writing and writing once I started so I think a tokyo ghoul x male reader will be coming after I finish the RWBY one.

Leave requests for anyone you want a one shot of in the comments and I'll get it done (fingers crossed)

Oblivion, fading out.
