Miku was in a dream of the past, in this dream she saw many memories that happened a long time ago; the reason why she was in love with her brother, her brother's death, and the separation of her parents.
And right now, she is watching one of the most important memory she ever had...
The moment her "Onii-chan" saved her.
Miku's thoughts*
(When I ran away after dad said those mean things I went to this alley way to die, but then out of nowhere he came.)
Kaneki: hey~ c'mon please respond, why are you crying?
Miku: ...
Kaneki: ... Fine then.
Crunch*
Because she wasn't responding, Young Kaneki sat beside young Miku who was still crying.
Miku: !!! What are you doing?
When he sat down young Miku gotten concerned, so she questioned him.
Kaneki: I'm sitting here what else?
Miku: but it's really cold! You'd freeze to death!
Kaneki: then what are you doing?
After hearing that hard question young Miku answered honestly.
Miku: !!! I'm... Trying to kill myself.
Even though young Miku wanted to end herself Kaneki wouldn't let her, so he asked her another question.
Kaneki: really? Why so?
Upon hearing that young Miku didn't answer.
Kaneki: hey~ please responded~
Although Kaneki pestered her until she answers.
(Hehe~ Onii-chan was really concerned here, he really is a busy body but that's one of his good sides)
Miku: ... I killed Onii-chan.
After being pestered a lot young Miku answered.
Kaneki: kill? How?
Young Miku was hesitant but he told Kaneki her story.
Kaneki: I see, so that's how it happened. I'm sorry for your loss.
Miku: it's alright...
Kaneki: so why are you here? Shouldn't you be with your mom?
Miku: why? I doubt she would want to see a "bad girl" and I want to be with Onii-chan.
Kaneki: but, from what you said in your story, the only reason why your mom couldn't take care of you was because of work right? And you also said that when she's home she takes care and plays with you a lot. She definitely loves you. She'll be sad if she loses her daughter as well.
Miku: why would she be sad if a bad girl dies! I've killed Onii-chan!
Kaneki: ... But what would your Onii-chan would feel if his sister dies?
Miku: !!!
(Onii-chan hit me really hard with that question, because of that I didn't know what to do)
Miku: No.. no no no! I don't want Onii-chan to hate me! Please! Onii-chaaaan! Please don't hate me!
(I called out to my brother despite knowing he wouldn't answer. At this time I thought Onii-chan hates me)
Miku: Onii-chan hates me huh?
(I was confused I didn't know what I was thinking... Well until...)
Kaneki: your Onii-chan doesn't hate you.
Miku: huh?
Kaneki: he has been taking care and protecting you for these few years and even when you ran away he chased after you because he was worried, you wanna know why? He cares about you.
(Onii-chan... He tried calming me down with those words)
Miku: huh?
Kaneki: you two are family, you had each other, I bet being with you was the happiest moments in his life.
Miku: But... I killed him.
Kaneki: I know, I'm in a similar situation as you.
Miku: huh?
(At this moment he told me what happened to his mom in the previous year)
Miku I'm... So sorry.
Kaneki: thanks, but you know both your Onii-chan and my mom tried to protect us. And they definitely don't regret saving us.
Miku: but why?
Kaneki: isn't it obvious? It's because we're their family. Family has each other's back and they would protect each other.
Miku: ...
Kaneki: your father may have abandoned you but your mom hasn't right?
Miku: Mom...
(Yes... Mom didn't abandoned me)
Miku: yeah you're right...
Kaneki: you still have your Mom. You can still have somewhere to go to.
Miku: but... Will she accept me?
Kaneki: of course.
Miku: but what about Onii-chan?
Kaneki: he'll watch over you, until you can move on.
Young Miku: but I don't want to forget Onii-chan!
Kaneki: you don't need to forget him to move on, you just need to be happy, if he knows that you're happy, he'll also be happy. That's just how it is I guess. Your big brother will always be your big brother no matter what, even if you were a "bad girl" he would definitely still protected you.
Miku: I-I see...
Kaneki: so what are you going to do now?
Young Miku then stood up.
(And now this happened)
Miku: I'm going back to mom now.
Kaneki: good.
Young Kaneki then stood up as well.
Kaneki: good luck.
He then began to walk away.
Miku: thank you... Onii-chan.
Kaneki: no problem!
With a smile he left and Young Miku went back to her mom.
(That was the first time I called him Onii-chan)
After that Young Miku went back to her mother and apologized. Many things happened after her brothers funeral.
First her parents divorced, then her mother got fired from her job which made them live in an apartment with little to eat.
At some point her mother Aiya Tachibana and a man named Atsuo Higanbana met shortly after the divorce. After a while Miku saw "him" again after her parents remarried.
(I remember this!)
Aiya: this is your new father Miku say hello.
Miku: H-Hello.
(I was so cute, when I first met dad I was really nervous)
Atsuo: Miku-chan is really cute, I hope we can get along as father and daughter Miku-chan.
(I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid of dad but he really wasn't like my father, he was gentle and loving)
Aiya: by the way, didn't you said you had a son? Where is he?
Atsuo: well, you know training...
Aiya: he really wants his mom back huh? Are you sure he isn't against our remarriage?
Atsuo: trust me he was actually really happy for me.
Aiya: but are you sure about this?! What if he hates me?!
Atsuo: I can assure you he's very kind.
Miku: ...
Atsuo: don't worry Miku-chan you'll definitely love your new big brother.
Miku: ...
(I haven't moved on from my brothers death yet but I was rest assured when I saw Onii-chan)
Kaneki: I'm home~
Atsuo: Kaneki, you're late! Didn't I tell you to come back early?
Kaneki: I'm sorry dad.
Atsuo: now sit down and greet your new Mom and little sister.
Young Kaneki then sat down and looked at young Miku and her mothers direction.
Miku: !!!
(Hehe~ I was really surprised when i found out "he" would be my brother)
Kaneki: hello, my name is Kaneki Higanbana, it's a pleasure to meet you Mom and little sister, I hope we get a lot and I promise to protect you two.
Aiya: oh my, thanks Kaneki-chan, but can you not use your sword when you're near Miku please?
Kaneki: okay~. You're Miku right?
Miku: Y-Yes!
Young Kaneki smiled.
Kaneki: I'll do my best as your Onii-chan!
Miku: T-Thanks Onii-chan! I'll do my best as your little sister!
Once again young Kaneki smiled.
Kaneki: yeah... Welcome home.
And then the scene ended and everything went dark.
Miku: Onii-chan... He was always there for me when we became family. He even introduced me to my "Onee-chans". Being with him and the others were the happiest days in my life. I will bring back those days I'll be his sister again or even more when I fix my relationship with him.
Miku was more determined to fix her relationship with Kaneki.
Miku: after all I love him a lot, not as a big brother but more than that... I'll move on from my original brother and I'll dedicate myself to Onii-chan, not because he's my brother but because ever since that day he saved me I was in love with him
After saying that she decided.
Miku: well... Time to wake up.
And so Miku woke up.
Miku:Yawn~ that was a long dream. Good morning everyo- huh?
When she woke up, Miku noticed nobody was in the room and what's even more strange.
Miku: why am I in my room?
She was sin her room.
But what is going on?
