After school Kaneki invited Sachi to his house to celebrate her return also with the intention of introducing his secret friend Natsuki.
Chikao also joined in which led to a little confusion but all has been resolved. Now Sachi is going to show Natsuki pictures of Kaneki when he was a kid.
Sachi: you ready?
Natsuki: yeah!
Sachi: alright here's the first pic when Kaneki was a baby!
She showed a a picture of Kaneki as a baby
Natsuki: so cuuute!
Sachi: just wait until you see the others!
They began scrolling through the album for 5 minutes.
Sachi: the smell of the pancakes! I want to eat now~
Kaneki: sorry but you have to wait I'm not finished cooking yet.
Sachi: Okay~
Natsuki: hey Saki-san?
Sachi: you can just call me Sachi.
Natsuki: um okay. Can I ask you something Sachi-chan?
Sachi: what is it?
Natsuki: what was Kaneki like back when you were kids?
Sachi: well, he... Was completely overprotective.
Natsuki: what do you mean?
Chikao: well you see... Kaneki's only friends back then we're Sachi, Shita-chan, Miyu-chan and Miha-chan so he really disliked anyone who hurts his friends.
Natsuki: really?
Sachi: yup! I do like that he cares about us but his overprotectiveness gets him into trouble a lot. Its seriously bad
Natsuki: how bad exactly?
Sachi: well, one time when Miha-chan was getting bullied by a boy in grade school he beaten that boy up to the point he was sent to the hospital.
Natsuki: seriously?!
Sachi: yup, then his 16 year old brother tried to beat Kaneki up as revenge but...
Natsuki: but?
Sachi had an embarrassed look on her face.
Sachi: he also sent him to the hospital.
Natsuki: really?!
Sachi: yup.
Natsuki: but wouldn't he get punished by the kids parents?
Sachi: he was able to avoid getting punished actually.
Natsuki: what?
Chikao: it is very surprising isn't it?
Natsuki: but how is he avoided getting punished?
Sachi: well that is actually a mystery.
Natsuki: really?
Sachi: yeah, Kaneki is very attached to us he so he'd to anything to protect us, I do appreciate it but I'm afraid that he might go down a path that not even we can save him.
Natsuki: that's tough.
Sachi: yeah, but Shita-chan always scolded him so he did eventually stopped with the beatings.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(Of course)
Sachi: you know just looking at how he reacted after seeing me does make me a bit sad.
Natsuki: because he was lonely?
Sachi: yes... You see when he doesn't hang out with at least one of us he would get depressed and sad.
Natsuki: you really care about him do you?
Sachi: of course! He's a precious friend of mine. Although I wish i could at least see everyone from Project Kizuna.
Natsuki: yeah that would be- wait... Project Kizuna? What is that?
Sachi: oh I see Kaneki and Chi-chan haven't told you yet.
Natsuki: yeah, but why does it sound familiar?
Sachi: of course! Its the name of our group when we joined that worldwide online competition 3 years ago.
Chikao: and I'm a fan of Project Kizuna.
Natsuki: really?!
Chikao: yup!
Sachi: the group is comprised of Me, Shita-chan, Miyu-chan Miha-chan and Ko-chan.
Natsuki: Ko-chan? Wait do you mean Kaneki's other body? Kotarou?
Sachi: he showed it to you?
Natsuki: yeah we went to the arcade using that body.
Sachi: cool!
Natsuki: but why did you guys named your group Project Kizuna?
Sachi: Project Kizuna is a name that i thought of because we had bonds that are special to us and us alone me, Shita-chan, Miyu-chan, Miha-chan and Kaneki.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(Special bonds?! But those 3 have abandoned him!)
Sachi: although I don't know why those 3 left Kaneki all alone though but they probably have their own reasons.
Natsuki: what do you mean?
Sachi: i don't know but once I find them we'll form Project Kizuna again.
Natsuki looked a bit upset.
Sachi: why do you look upset?
Natsuki: what if? They were tired of him and they just wanted to abandon Kaneki?
Sachi: that won't really be the case.
Natsuki: why do you think that?
Sachi: Kaneki... He has helped the 4 of us so much. We care about him a lot he was the only one kind to us despite most of us are weird.
Natsuki:...
Sachi: and besides i doubt they would get tired of him. Why? Because our bonds with Kaneki cannot easily be broken.
Natsuki: really?
Sachi: yes, they might have left him but if i gotta guess they probably didn't realize they left him all alone.
Natsuki: really?
Sachi: yeah, they are probably hurt right now if they learned of how lonely he was because of them.
Natsuki: why?
Sachi put her mouth near Natsuki's ear and whispered something.
Natsuki: really?!
Sachi: yup! Oh by the way can you not tell Kaneki?
Natsuki was a bit shocked from what she heard but she nodded in response.
Kaneki: alright everyone the pancakes are ready!
Sachi: yay! C'mon you two! Let's eat!
Chikao: sure!
Natsuki: yeah... Sure.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(Why do I have this feeling? What is it?)
After they eaten the pancakes they played more video games with punishments Kaneki was the one who got the most punishments.
And after that Chikao and Natsuki went home.
Natsuki: see you guys tomorrow.
Chikao: don't worry your secret is safe with me.
Sachi: see you guys today was fun!
Kaneki: see ya, and Natsuki! Chi-chan!
Natsuki & Chikao: what?
Kaneki: stay safe!
Natsuki & Chikao: we will!
Then they left.
Sachi: well then I'll be going home now too.
Kaneki: alright but don't stay up too late okay?
Sachi: I won't!
Kaneki: well see ya tomorrow buddy, its great to have you back.
Sachi: same here.
Sachi then went into her house.
Kaneki: alright then, time to make more pancakes I'm sure she would want some when she gets back.
Miku was at Yuuka's house at the time and she's coming back.
30 minutes later*
Miku: I'm home~
She went to his room.
Kaneki: Snore-!
Miku: good he's sleeping peacefully.
Miku's thoughts*
(Its been a while since I last him being that happy)
She then went to the kitchen.
Miku: hmm? What is this?
She saw the pancakes Kaneki made for her with a letter saying.
"I know you would feel left out so I made extra pancakes for you, enjoy! From: big brother"
Miku: he's... still acting like a Onii-chan... Thank you Onii-chan...
Meanwhile at Sachi's bedroom.
Sachi: I see... Thank you For telling me.
Ku-kun: Ku!
Mo-chan: momo!
Yanma: Yaya.
Heike: kehei.
Sachi: I see so that's what happened...
Miracle. Mira? Le Le Ra?
Sachi: don't worry, if that's what happened between those 4 than I have to ask those 3 directly tomorrow.
Ku-kun: waga?
Sachi: don't tell Kaneki alright?
Nods*
Sachi: good.
Sachi's thoughts*
(Why did you three do that?!)
Sachi was a bit mad
