After Kamakura told the story and revealing Kaneki had the blood of the Demon Knights flowing in his veins him and all his classmates were in shock.
Itsuki: no way, so does that mean?
Everyone: he has to marry the next Demon Knight?
Kaneki: You guys stupid?!
Everyone: eh?
Kaneki: I mean, there's no way in Hell I am related to that farmer and plus why would I marry a demon knight?!
???: but what about the unfulfilled promise?
Kaneki: so what?! I'm not the one who made that promise so I don't care.
???: but-
Kaneki: no buts, I'll live the way I want I don't care if my ancestors promise doesn't get fulfilled plus i doubt the Demon Knights even exist anymore ever since Demon Knight Hiragi disappeared.
Shino: I agree with him, and besides knowing Kaneki he'll probably just try to fight.
Chikao: umm... This is kinda off topic but why are you suddenly calling Higanbana-kun by his first name?
???: yeah, that's strange
Shino: O-Oh well its because i consider him as a friend after he saved me so i decided to call him by his first name.
Kaneki: oh great your becoming these 2 idiots.
He pointed at Itsuki and Keiko.
Itsuki & Keiko: Hey!
Ryueki: that's understandable (shit! My plan failed and she considered him her friend at this rate he might become close to Natsuki! And become my rival!)
(Author: too late for you)
Ryueki: (that doesn't matter as long he doesn't do anything particularly good for Natsuki she won't fall for him so its alright if he's close to the pathetic Sub-heroine) but what about the War Para-jellys? They might still be around.
Kaneki: that won't be a problem, I notified Querxes Sensei about the incident just now and he's probably at the site by now.
???: SERIOUSLY?!
Kaneki: yup.
Natsuki: but isn't that too dangerous?
Kaneki: don't worry my Sensei is very strong.
???: but even you struggled against.
Kaneki: you guys are dumb, I was half unconscious and I was crazy if I was conscious and was sane i would've won easily.
???: really?
Kaneki: yeah. But a weird thing is before i became This I felt Shita-chan's presence.
Natsuki: really?!
Kaneki: yeah I don't know why too but I guess it was because Shita-chan did send the Spider Sword to help.
???: wait so does that mean she was nearby?
Kaneki: no, I don't know why but I'm glad it did got summoned.
Yuuka: yeah, true but seriously! This camping trip was fun until what happened just earlier.
Kaneki: wait? What day is it?
???: why do you ask?
Kaneki: don't we have school activities?!
Yuuka: don't worry Higanbana-kun today's- Oh Shit!
???: what's wrong?
Yuuka: today's Sunday! And tomorrow we'll have school activities!
Shino: What?! But i thought there wasn't enough staff!
Chikao: wait a minute.
Chikao pulled out her phone to see the messages.
Chikao: Mitsuha-sensei texted!
???: what did she say?!
Chikao: she said "we have enough staff to do all our class activities we'll be resuming lessons at Monday, July 14th.
Itsuki & Keiko: Wait isn't that tomorrow?!
Everyone began to panic.
Everyone: we should go back home!
They all wanted to go home. But.
Kaneki: Wait! Everyone!
Kaneki stopped them.
Ryueki: what is it?!
Kaneki: we should all go to sleep first.
???: what why?!
Kaneki: considering what happened tonight you guys might not be able to sleep once you get home and considering its Dark we might get attacked again.
???: he's got a point.
Kaneki: we can just leave at 4 A.M and take a short sleep when we get to our homes.
???: but who's gonna wake us up?
Kaneki: Ku-kun!
Ku-kun: KUWAGATAAAAAAAA!
Everyone: Loud!
Kaneki: yeah Ku-kun will wake everyone up and he knows what time it is all the time so he'll wake everyone up.
???: I don't know about this.
Itsuki: he does have a point and we all do need to rest mostly Kaneki.
Keiko: I agree.
Yuuka: I have to agree too right now is too dangerous to leave.
Shino: then its decided lets all go to sleep.
Everyone: sure...
With that everyone went into their tents to go sleep.
30 minutes later*
With everyone asleep there was only 3 who were awake.
Rustle rustle*
Natsuki's thoughts*
(It looks like Kaneki is still awake I should go talk to him now)
Natsuki quietly got out of her tent and checked on looked at Kaneki's tent.
(Huh? Where is he going?)
She noticed Kaneki leaving camp and going somewhere.
She did follow him a bit far distance.
He walked for 7 minutes he stopped at the river that they've went to 2 days ago.
Kaneki: Haa~ so peaceful.
He spread his wings, spider legs and tentacles out.
Splash!*
Kaneki: aahh~ relaxing~
(Oh he's relaxing, well he probably couldn't sleep so this might actually help him)
Kaneki: how long are you going to hide?
Natsuki: !!! How did you-
Kaneki: i could sense you okay.
Natsuki: oh yeah. Sorry.
Kaneki: did I woke you up?
Natsuki: nope don't worry I just couldn't sleep.
Kaneki: surprising, everyone else is asleep now so i thought you'd go to sleep too.
Natsuki walked closer to him.
Natsuki: well i would be lying if I said i wasn't worried.
Kaneki: oh sorry for worrying you.
Natsuki: its alright, but I have a question.
Kaneki: hmm? What is it?
Natsuki: how did you find us when we were in trouble earlier?
Kaneki: oh... I think its because i sensed my friends in danger. You and Chii.
Natsuki: Chii as in class-rep?
Kaneki: yup (and those 3 as well)
Natsuki: I see... So you have a new friend now right? Tanaka-san? She did consider you her friend.
Kaneki: I don't think I can accept that.
Natsuki: Huh? Why not?
Kaneki: you already know.
Natsuki: oh yeah... She reminds you a lot of Shita-chan.
Kaneki: yeah... Plus I don't want to cause her problems, you know make some talk bad about her, I'll only cause problems for her and her friends.
Natsuki: I don't think she would care about that.
Kaneki: how would you know?
Natsuki pointed at her eyes.
Natsuki: forgot? I can see others colors, their true selves. And Tanaka-san's colors shows she wants to be friends with you even if it means others would talk bad about her.
Kaneki was speechless.
Until he said.
Kaneki: but still I don't know how to act "friendly" to other people (mostly to former friends) and to you.
Natsuki: well you won't learn if you don't try.
Kaneki: you know I find it strange that you want me to be friends with other people.
Natsuki: well you used to look really miserable before i became your friend and your still depressed even with me as your friend so i thought getting you new friends would help.
Kaneki smiled and patted Natsuki's head with his tentacle.
Kaneki: i appreciate it but i might not enjoy-
Natsuki: then try tomorrow after all you and Tanaka-san did won the fishing competition yesterday.
Kaneki: oh yeah, the reward for winning... I'll think about it.
In Kaneki's head*
Tomo: this doesn't sound like a good idea.
Kozo: agreed she probably hates us after what I've done today.
Quan: i think we shouldn't try.
Shitsuren: well it might not hurt if we try.
Quan: are you being serious?!
Shitsuren: well we'll eventually get invited to get treated by her anyways since we did win.
Tomo and Kozo were stressed.
Quan: sigh~ i hate to say it but I'm right I'll still get invited since we did win.
Shitsuren: so its settled then?
Tomo: Fine!
Kozo: but just so I know I'm only doing this for the Crepes!
Shitsuren: good! We all agree.
Back at reality*
Kaneki: well I guess you're right maybe i should try tomorrow.
Natsuki: Good! Well I'm starting to get sleepy now so I'll go back to my tent.
Kaneki: alright don't wake anyone up alright?
Natsuki: I won't! Well goodnight and see you tomorrow!
Kaneki: goodnight! See ya! tomorrow!
With that Natsuki walked back to camp and slept inside her tent.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(Good! He might get a new friend soon!)
30 minutes later*
Kaneki dried himself and went back to his tent to sleep.
And he finally went to sleep
Rustle*
Low unzipping sound*
Shino who was still awake and went inside Kaneki's tent.
Peck*
She gave a little peck on his cheeks that was covered by the mandible.
Before saying.
Shino: lets have some fun tomorrow.
Before leaving his tent and closing it
Next day 4 A.M*
Ku-kun: KUWAGATAAAAAAAA!
Ku-kun sounded the alarm waking everyone up.
???: its so early!
Yuuka: alright everyone clean up we're going back home.
Everyone began cleaning up their campsite.
10 minutes later*
After cleaning up their camp Kaneki started to lead them back to Shimotsuki.
Kaneki: alright! Everyone! Lets go back!
After a while they finally got back to Shimotsuki and all of them went back to their homes and after Getting back to their homes they all went to sleep for a little while.
A few hours later*
Knock! Knock!*
Miku: hey! Onii-chan! Get up its almost time to go to school!
Miku opened the door to see.
Miku: Onii-chan!
Kaneki: what is it?!
Miku: we need to go to school soon so get out of your bed now!
Kaneki: oh yeah!
He got out of his bed revealing.
Miku: Onii-chan!
Kaneki: what is it?!
Miku: you're still partially in Shin-ken Kumonos form!
Kaneki: seriously?! Oh well, I'll just cover my arm and my right eye with Bandages you go ahead.
Miku: umm. Okay. But don't be late.
Kaneki: Yeah yeah.
Miku then left.
After Kaneki covered his right arm and eye that was still transformed he made a sandwich and got out of house then locked it.
And when he got out he was greeted by a certain someone.
Shino: Hey... Kaneki.
Kaneki:...
He didn't respond and left.
Will he get along with his old childhood friend once again?
