After getting back from the camping trip Kaneki and his classmates went back home early in the morning and prepared going back to school.
Kaneki wasn't fully turned back to his original looks, his right eye was still completely red and his arm was still in its monsterous form with the stinger.
So he covered them all in bandages before leaving to go to school he was greeted by a certain someone.
Shino: hey... Kaneki...
Kaneki:...
He didn't respond but before leaving he looked back again, then ran off.
Shino's thoughts*
(Alright even though the camping trip is over i still have a chance! Since we did won the fishing competition I get to treat him with premium crepes, I just hope we could actually talk though)
30 minutes later*
???: hey Ryueki-kun how was the camping trip?
Ryueki: it went well (but I can't exactly tell anyone what happened I don't want to look pathetic)
???: hey Itsuki-san! Keiko-san!
Itsuki: hmm? What is it?
???: is it true that Higanbana went to the camping trip?
Keiko: well.. yeah he did.
???: really?!
???: i can't believe that anti-social power hungry guy actually went with them.
Everyone in Class 1-C were being asked Questions about the camping trip.
???: hey! Tanaka-san! Did anything cool happen your camping trip?
Shino: well not really...
Shino's thoughts*
(We must not tell anyone)
A few hours earlier*
Kaneki: oh yeah, everyone I have a request.
Shino: hmm? What is it?
Kaneki: can you guys not tell anyone about... You guys know the incident?
???: what?! Why?
Yuuka: i understand I won't tell promise.
???: what why should we not tell anyone?
Itsuki: well, you guys know how much he hates being bothered and if we tell about his abilities he would get bombarded with questions.
Kaneki: and also if any of you actually tell anyone you will owe me 1 million yen.
Everyone: Huuuuh?!
Kaneki: I'm joking, but seriously don't tell anyone I don't want to cause problems for my family.
Flashback end*
Shino's thoughts*
(I just hope no one actually tell anybody)
???: hey look! Its Higanbana-kun!
???: woah, what happened?
Kaneki finally arrived at school, and when he arrived some tried to get close.
Kaneki: Sigh~
Kaneki unsheathed Sword-san.
Kaneki: don't even think about it.
So he was left alone.
???: looks like he's in a bad mood.
???: yeah, and his right arm and eye are covered in bandages what happened?
Principal: Students go back to your classrooms Lessons are about to start!
After the principal made all students to go back to their rooms lessons were about to start.
Mitsuha-sensei: Good morning everyone how was your camping trip?
Yuuka: it went well sensei!
Mitsuha-sensei: good now before we start our lessons I want you all to meet one of your new teachers.
Ryueki: really? We got you new teachers teach?
Mitsuha-sensei: yup be nice to him alright? Mostly you Higanbana-san.
Kaneki: wha-? Why me?
Querxes: because I'm your new English and P.E teacher Kaneki!
Kaneki: Querxes-senseeeeeeiiii?!
Querxes: hehe~ surprised?
Kaneki: since when-
Querxes: before you ask i became a teacher here a few days ago.
Kaneki looked embarrassed.
Mitsuha-sensei: alright then we'll see you later Querxes-sensei.
Querxes: alright see you later Kaneki.
Querxes left the classroom.
???: really? Higanbana-kuns teacher is going to be our English and P.E teacher?
Everyone: looked at Kaneki.
He felt embarrassed.
They all then went with they're school activities for rest of the day.
Ding dong! Ding dong!
???: finally!
Yuuka: hey Shino! Wanna go shopping?
Shino: sorry! I can't i have to treat Higanbana-kun now!
???: why now?
Shino: the premium crepes will be sold out today.
Everyone: oh understandable.
Shino: but where is he?
Querxes: he immediately went home.
Shino: i better go now! See you guys later!
Shino rushed to find Kaneki.
Itsuki: smart move.
???: why?
Keiko: last time we promised Kaneki premium pudding but gave him normal pudding he slaped our faces.
Everyone: ohhh.
Ryueki's thoughts*
(Well I don't really care as much although there is a higher chance of him becoming my rival if someone he gets close to Natsuki because of those sub-heroines than there's a problem)
Somewhere near school*
Sword-san: [are you going to train again?]
Kaneki: nope, I'm taking a break, well until I turn back to normal at least.
Sword-san: [good you do deserve that]
Kaneki: yeah, but what was that strange voi-
Shino: Kaneki!
Kaneki: Tanaka-san?
Shino stopped after getting near him.
Shino: c'mon! We need to go!
Kaneki: hmm? Why?
Shino: the premium crepes are gonna run out soon!
Kaneki: wait seriously?!
Shino: yeah! We need to go now!
Kaneki: Roger!
They began running.
Shino: how many do you want?!
Kaneki: huh?
Shino: how many crepes?!
Kaneki: I want 6!
Shino: alright!
They then got to the shop and bought 7 premium crepes.
Shino: haaa~ that was tiring~
Kaneki: lets take a seat.
Shino: yeah that was tiring!
They took their seats.
Kaneki: itadakimasu~
Nom!*
Kaneki: Mmmh~ its good!
Shino: good glad you like it, so uhh how are you?
Kaneki: my head does still feel a bit light but other than that I feel great.
Shino: thank goodness. So uh thank you for saving me yesterday.
Kaneki: no problem... You know I should be the one thanking you.
Shino: huh? Why?
Kaneki: i don't remember if i told you this but you reminded me a lot of Shita-chan.
Shino: your childhood friend?
Kaneki: yeah, you know she always helped me when I was feeling down like this one time when I got sick for weeks she took care of me and she even helped me with homework too.
Shino: she sounds really nice.
Kaneki: but anyways I have a question.
Shino: really? What is it?
Kaneki: do you want to be my friend?
Shino: yeah.
Kaneki: you do realize that if you become my friend I'll only cause you and your friends problems right?
Kaneki avoided looking at Shino's face.
Kaneki: unlike you I am someone who is willing to hurt others and has abilities that can kill just for the sake of wanting more power. A "bad guy".
Shino: that's not how I see you.
Kaneki: what?
Shino: the way I see it you're someone who likes to sing and dance, someone who wouldn't hurt anybody unless you have a reason and someone who really cares about his friends and someone who's willing to let himself get hurt for others. I don't think your a bad guy Kaneki i think your a good guy.
Shino's thoughts*
(I know this won't necessarily mean we'll go back to what we used to but I'll take it slow.)
Shino: so I don't really think its a bad idea if we became friends.
Kaneki: b-
Shino: and before you say it i already told Yuuka and Miku.
Kaneki looked Shocked.
Shino: they said they don't care if rumors about them are made because you became my friend so its alright they don't care.
Kaneki's thoughts*
(Oh yeah... I remember now they don't care about rumors about them even back then)
Doki! Doki!*
Shino: so let me ask Kaneki will you be my friend?
Kaneki was hesitant but.
Kaneki: well... I think it wouldn't hurt to have a friend I guess? But I am afraid that you might replace Shita-chan.
Shino: don't worry I can never replace her she has a special place in your heart so don't worry about it!
Kaneki: well... I guess I'll accept your request then.
Shino's thoughts*
(He... He accepted?!)
Kaneki: hmm? What's wrong? Friend.
(He really did!! This is great! We're not what used to be but this is good progress!)
Kaneki: well with that out of the way I'm heading back home see ya.
Shino: Oh-! A... See ya!
Kaneki then left.
Shino's thoughts*
(He really accepted but its not over yet i haven't apologized yet but when the time comes I'll give up on Itadori-kun and apologize to Kaneki and maybe tell him how feel about him...)
20 minutes later*
Kaneki: so goood! I should give some to- wait what?!
Kaneki reached the gate to his home but he saw.
Kaneki: oh... Someone is moving to Sachi's old house....
He saw a moving truck putting things inside his childhood friend Sachi Saki's house.
Kaneki: sigh~
He looked at the house again and said.
Kaneki: I really miss you Sachi, please come back.
Kaneki was about to go back in his home. Until...
???: la-la-la hmm? Oh! Hello there neighbor!
Kaneki: huh?
Kaneki saw a girl around his age with long blue hair greeting him.
Kaneki: uhhhhhh.
Slam!
He went inside and slammed both Gate and doors shut.
???: my my, that's kinda rude well we'll see each other tomorrow anyways. Its going to be fun!
In Kaneki's house*
Kaneki: who the hell is that?!
