A/N: Yo, quick warning, I'm completely new to writing. This account was set up a while ago and I've actively strived to ignore anything that involved publishing. I've also been avoiding reading any Tokyo Ghoul fanfics purely out of fear that it's all going to be super angsty. I'm gonna check it out now that I've thrown this under the spotlight, but I'm still anxious about it. Still, I've enjoy what I've read of RWBY fanfiction so this should at least be comforting.

Now, as this is a first story, I'm not expecting much. It's been in my head for a while lately but I'm not sure how others will react. Then again, the main point of this account was to practice writing in general.

I'm not gonna keep you longer than necessary, but I have to get this out of the way first. Just once because these thing are annoying:

RWBY is owned by RoosterTeeth Production and was created by the late Monty Oum (Rest In Peace)

The Tokyo Ghoul Manga was written by Sui Ishida and published by Shueisha and Viz Media

I own nothing but this story.

There were a lot of Grimm.

Emerald found the sheer amount of Grimm mildly disturbing. It didn't help that they were all Beowolves, and that there was literally one other person who was apparently homeless, unarmed an insane.

"Sorera wa nanidesu ka?"

So she may have decided to sneak out without telling Cinder. But why should she need to? She hadn't hurt her, or anyone else. Cinder hadn't specifically said not to. And Mercury went out as well! What he went out to do she didn't really want imagine. Whatever it was, a walk in the forest would be much more wholesome. Why there were Grimm in the forest, she had no clue. There had been no earlier sightings, and considering the close proximity to the city, any pack should have been destroyed by hunters stationed long before they got this close. Yet a pack as large as this got through somehow.

"Karera wa monsutāte imasu ka?"

"Would you shut up! There's lots of dangerous monsters around us, and I can't concentrate while you speak in some made up language!" He was two, maybe three years older than her. All he wore was a dirty black t-shirt and some dirty white shorts. He didn't even have shoes. That fact did, however, reveal that the nails on his toe were as black as those on his fingers. And it wasn't paint. It appeared to be just the natural colour. That, and his white hair similar to that of an old man, seemed to be due to high amounts of stress. The only thing he had on him besides his clothes was some small leather satchel.

"Shitsureina koto suru hitsuyō wa arimasen." Maybe he was messing with her. Why you would mess with a huntress with a bunch of Grimm surrounding the area? Emerald would have left him to deal with them himself. Then again, that's probably why she wasn't a huntress.

"Look, could you please just stop talking and let me take care of-" suddenly, a large Beowolf, most likely the leader, charged at them from the front, snarling. The thief readied herself to retaliate, maybe clear a path to get to the safety of the city.

As the Beowolf neared, the babbling dude started walking nonchalantly towards it. "Wait! What are you doing!? Get behind me, moron!" Maybe he was suicidal. It made sense with lots of stress and all. Maybe he was incredibly depressed and had just found the perfect opportunity to kill himself. And frankly, Emerald didn't need to see someone mauled to death as of right. But he was already to close to the Beowolf to stop any kind of long term damage. Well the least she could do then was save-

The man's left arm suddenly shot forward. Aimed at the Grimm who had leapt at him. Within a split-second, he had knocked it's head cleanly off, sending it flying and bouncing of a tree while it's body flopped to the ground. The man crouched down over the headless corpse, his front obscured, He held onto one of it's shoulders and ripped it off with his free hand. He then brought the severed limb to eye level.

A distinct sound could be heard. It was the sound of something being bitten off savagely.

The man spat chewed up Grimm to the side, his face a grimace, making gagging noises.

Emerald really didn't know what was more bizarre. The fact he punched a Grimm's head off, or the fact that he tried to eat it's corpse.

"...What the fuck?"

"Watashi wa dochira ka korera no koto o taberu koto ga dekinai to omoimasu." The man said something else in his gibberish. It didn't really matter what he said. It wouldn't remove the insanity of the situation. "Mā, watashi wa-" Five more Grimm charged him from the left and right flanks. Completely ignoring the thief in an attempt to neutralize the bigger threat. Picking up what was left of the husk before him, he threw it at the two coming from the left. The force the corpse hit them at caused the ever audible sound of bone breaking. The other three were virtually upon him. He stiffened his right palm and cut through them like they were air. He took a moment to examine his hand, which appeared to only be somewhat bruised. The pack began retreating. She couldn't believe her eyes

"watashi wa tonikaku kūfukude wa nai nda."

He turned towards her. She backed away slowly, slipping accidentally and landing in the dirt. She quickly scrambled backward until the back of her head hit a tree.

His approach was slow, casual. It only took him about ten seconds to reach her. He crouched down to her eye level. His face seemed soft. The damage he was capable of made her weary of it.

"Anata no namae wa nan des ka?" It sounded like a question. It always did when that 'ka' sound at the end. The actual question was a mystery to her though. The man pointed a finger at his chest. "Kaneki. Boku wa Ken Kaneki des." That must have been his name. It made sense. In a strange way, it sounded like one.

He was asking her name.

"Emerald. Emerald Sustrai." She said nervously. He smiled warmly at her.

"Hajimemashite." His smile was very...comforting somehow. "Emerald-San."

A/N: Well this is actually a thing now. I can really only see things going bad. But hey, I'm pretty self critical when it comes to writing,

I've written quite a lot more than this. Mostly due to lack of internet connection for unimportant reasons. This is really one of the shorter chapters, most will double this. I'll upload weekly (not at a specific time, just on whatever day this ends up getting uploaded on) if I don't start procrastinating.

If you'd like to point anything out, or have any form of criticism (constructive or not) please leave a review.

See you next week.
