Chereads / Natsuki-chan likes the power hungry Kaneki / Chapter 10 - sibling and Secret friend part 2

Chapter 10 - sibling and Secret friend part 2

After clearing the misunderstanding between the 2 step-siblings they began to talk although they were quiet for a while, till Natsuki asked a question.

Natsuki: so.. uh Kaneki?

Kaneki: yeah?

Natsuki: why do you have 2 ribbons on your hair when you go anywhere?

Kaneki:... it's a secret.

Miku: that's strange you usually don't say "it's a secret" when someone is asking about why you're carrying "Sword-san".

Kaneki: that's different. these ribbons are as important as Sword-san.

Natsuki: why?

[Hey Kane-kun let's go to Japan when the War is over]

[Yeah let's go to the place we were taken from]

Kaneki: I promise I'll take you there.

Natsuki: Kaneki...kun? why are you talking to yourself?

Kaneki: I'm going to the basement I'll be there for like a few minutes you two talk ok. and get along and most importantly don't FIGHT!

Natsuki & Miku: um... ok?

Kaneki went to the basement after the two kept asking him about the ribbons 2 ribbons with a very stressed yet sad face.

Natsuki: did you see that?

Miku: yeah... it looked like Onii-chan was sad and he talked to himself

Natsuki: those ribbons might be tied to something, do you have any idea?

Miku: no but he came home with those very ribbons six years ago he never told us anything about them and he takes really good care of them. and then he wears them everyday.

Natsuki: wait six years ago? wasn't that the time when the War of Hell ended?

Miku: yeah but it might be a coincidence I mean the only humans that can access Hell are the ones with portal making abilities.

Natsuki: Yeah you're right but.. maybe Kaneki had some friends that were kidnapped and used as experiments during the war.

Miku: that's impossible Kaneki never had any other friends besides me and some other people.

Natsuki:(those other people must be the 3 who estranged him and Sachi) I see.. I think we should stop talking about his ribbons.

Miku: yeah he looked sad what ever the reason it must be really bad for Onii-chan to make him have a sad face.

Natsuki: yeah, anyways why were you named Miku? Miku-chan

Miku: heh!? you're already using first name basis?

Natsuki: yes.

Miku: man I'm still wondering why Onii-chan agreed to become friends with you. no offense.

Natsuki: non-taken.

Miku: alright the reason why my name was Miku was because my Mom was an otaku she loves anime specifically a girl named Miku so she names me Miku after her.

Natsuki:... hahahaha~ seriously your mom is hilarious!

Miku: don't laugh!

Natsuki: I can't help hahahahaha!

Miku: don't be mean!

Kaneki: you two sure are getting along.

Miku: Onii-chan! since when were you here?

Kaneki: I just got back I had to do something in the basement. and don't ask you know everything I do in the basement is a secret to everyone even our parents.

Natsuki: hahahaha~ haa~ that was a good laugh but wait did you say a secret to even your parents?

Kaneki: yup!

Natsuki: how did your Parents approve of it!?

Miku: he just asked.

Natsuki: wait! seriously you seriously just asked them!!

Kaneki: yup I just asked dad that I'll use the basement he agreed and changed the lock for it also I have the key to it.

Natsuki: then what about you show us you--

Kaneki: no.

Natsuki: why not!?

Kaneki: you guys ain't ready. when you are ready I'll let you guys in the basement.

Miku: seriously what's in that basement that you don't want to show us?

Kaneki: fine I'll tell you two what's in the basement.

Miku & Natsuki: really!

Kaneki: Yeah but I'll just give a small description. what's in that basement is stuff from my dark past that no one knows about.

Miku: that's a horrible description.

Kaneki: I know.

[ when we finally go to Japan after this war let's eat some ramen you say it's good after all Kane-kun.]

Kaneki: argh!

Natsuki: what's wrong? you looked stressed!

Kaneki: sorry I just remembered something sigh~ I'm going for a walk. Miku you're in charge while I'm out remember to lock the door ok.

Miku: ok but why are you going out for a walk?

Kaneki: I have my reasons. I'll also go get some groceries to cook later. I'm probably going to cook some Tortang Talong later.

Miku: really!? Yay!

Kaneki: well see you two later.

Miku & Natsuki: have a safe trip!

Kaneki left for a walk and to buy groceries and ingredients for lunch. meanwhile the two girls started to talk to each other..l

Natsuki: so...uh what's Tortang Talong?

Miku: oh it's Eggplant omelette.

Natsuki: really? where did Kaneki learn to make that?

Miku: from our aunt.

Natsuki: wow amazing! anyways I have to ask you something.

Miku: what is it?

Natsuki: um..can you keep my and Kaneki-kun's relationship a secret? please.

Miku: *soft sigh~* sure I already promised Onii-chan I'll make a promise to you too.

Natsuki: Yay! pinky promise.

Miku: sure pinky promise.

Mizutani-san and Me became friends she doesn't know about what I did to Onii-chan but I hope I can apologize to Onii-chan.. when I'm ready I'll apologize to Onii-chan maybe he'll spoil me again like back then till then I must do my best I won't let Onii-chan's help go to waste and... I don't want to lose him.

Natsuki: alright! promise has been made this is great! oh yeah I have another question about Miku-chan.

Miku: what is it?

Natsuki: why do Miku-chan and Kaneki-kun have different surnames?

Miku: well you know how Onii-chan is power hungry right? well because of that I used to get bullied though Onii-chan always protected me, so to ensure that I don't get bullied because of him, Onii-chan told our parents for me to use my old surname before my mom got remarried to Dad.

Natsuki: I see, you're so lucky Miku-chan you have a loving brother who deeply cares about you. not only that he treasures you a lot I can tell just by looking at him.

Miku: really?

Natsuki: Yeah I have the ability to see people's true selves and the color of their souls. I can tell just by looking at him earlier he treasures you a lot and wants you to be happy and the reason why I became friends with him was with my ability.

Miku: so you're an ability user.

Natsuki: yeah seeing people's true selves was pretty depressing I can control it but I chose not to use it anymore because seeing people's true intentions and thoughts about me made me anxious.

Miku: oh I'm sorry.

Natsuki: but when I saw Kaneki-kun I saw hope so I wish to connect with him because maybe I'll get more friends because of him! my dream is to get true friends that I could get along with.

Miku: I see. then I hope you achieve your dream.

Natsuki: you're just like your brother, I'm really glad I met you Miku-chan.

"How nostalgic" was the thought Miku had in her mind after hearing "I'm really glad I met you Miku-chan" it reminded her of the first time she met Kaneki and made her a bit happy and sad.

Miku: let's play some video games shall we?

Natsuki: sure!

The two girls started to play video games.

but at the park Kaneki stands motionless with a face full of guilt, anger, and sadness.

Kaneki: I'm sorry, I'm sorry for not being able to save you guys.

As Kaneki was crying with no one seeing him he started to remember his dark past.
