August 11, 2042*
Miku: Hey Onii-chan! Let's go!
Kaneki: just a moment, I'm just preparing Sword-san!
Miku: okay, I'll be waiting in the front door.
Kaneki: sure.
Miku left Kaneki's room and went their house's front door.
Kaneki: how did it end up like this?
Kaneki and Miku were both going to school together? How did that happen? Let's rewind to last night.
Last night*
They just finished washing the dishes and they both sat down to watch some T.v and suddenly Miku made a request.
Miku: Hey Onii-chan, let's go to school together tomorrow.
Kaneki: huh? Why?
Miku: well it's been a long time since we last walked to school together so it wouldn't really be bad to do so again.
Kaneki: yeah but, what would everyone think?
Miku: don't worry, we can just make an excuse that we just saw each other we just decided to walk together.
Kaneki: there's no way anyone is believing that.
Miku: it's worth a shot.
Kaneki: well don't say I didn't warn you.
Present time*
Kaneki: is this even okay?
Sword-san: [it's alright Kaneki-chan, your her brother after all]
Kaneki: am I?
Sword-san: [c'mon you know she didn't mean that, why would she call you "Onii-chan" then?]
Kaneki: I don't know...
Sword-san: [just go to Miku-chan already]
Kaneki: yeah yeah.
Kaneki sheathed Sword-san and got out to his room and went down stairs.
Miku: c'mon let's go!
Miku was urging Kaneki to be quicker.
Kaneki: I still don't know about this, our classmates might get the wrong idea.
Miku: pout* I seriously don't understand Onii-chan at all.
Kaneki's thoughts*
(She's pouting... How long has it been since I last saw her do that?)
Miku suddenly smiled.
Miku: well let's get going we don't want to be late.
Kaneki: yeah, let's go. House lockdown!
After locking their house the Higanbana siblings got out the front gate.
Kaneki: that's strange.
Miku: what is?
Kaneki: Sachi isn't outside, she usually waits for me around this time.
Miku: oh she already left 5 minutes ago.
Kaneki: seriously? Well I guess she really didn't want to be late.
Miku: yeah, alright let's go!
Kaneki: let's go.
They then started walking to school.
Miku: so Onii-chan, I know we're taking a break in our cooking class but in case we do go back to cooking what are we going to make next?
Kaneki: hmm. I know, why not Hamburg steak? It's really good we should make curry with it too.
Miku: that sounds delicious.
Kaneki: I know right? Let's do our best with cooking.
Miku: yeah!. Also did you enjoy my the bento I made for you a few days ago?
Kaneki: yes.
Miku: hehe~ be sure to eat the new one I made for today.
Kaneki: I will~ your egg dishes are really good~
Miku smiled more which made Kaneki smile as well.
Miku: Oooh? Onii-chan is smiling!
Kaneki: yeah? So?
Miku: nothing, it's just really good to see you smile. Seriously you have a killer smile.
Kaneki: that's an exaggeration.
Miku: by the way, I heard from Sachi-Oneechan that in your route to school you meet up with Natsuki, when will we meet her?
Kaneki: we're still a bit far but we'll eventually run into her.
Miku: I see... Hey Onii-chan, when you and Natsuki actually became friends how did you feel about it?
Kaneki: what made you ask?
Miku: I'm just curious.
Kaneki: well... I felt a bit uncomfortable, I mean she did stalk me and suddenly asked to be my friend.
Miku: I can see that, becoming friends with your stalker isn't really normal.
Kaneki: yeah, but she showed me I can trust her so I don't feel uncomfortable anymore. Also she's really fun to be around.
Miku: I see...
Kaneki: speaking of her, you two get along really well huh? I didn't expect that you two would get along.
Miku: neither did I, she was annoying at first but she really was fun. We have the same intereste and we just get along really well.
Kaneki: you two have some good chemistry.
Miku: yeah, I'm thankful you became friends with her.
Kaneki: same here she really is fun to be around.
???: ehhh?!
Miku: oops, she heard us.
Kaneki: this... Is really embarrassing.
Both Kaneki and Miku looked behind them and saw.
Natsuki: really?! Its fun to be with me?! I'm so happy!
Natsuki was somehow behind them and she heard their talk about her.
Miku: hehe~ yeah it's true, being with you is honestly really fun.
Kaneki: yup, to be honest I'd probably still have been pretty gloomy. So thank you for being my friend.
Miku: yeah, thanks for being Onii-chan's friend.
Hearing both Higanbana siblings being thankful to her for being their friend, Natsuki couldn't help but tear up.
Kaneki: you crying?
Natsuki: of course I am! I haven't heard anyone being grateful for me being their friend so hearing you two made me really happy!
Miku: there there.
Miku began patting Natsuki's back.
Kaneki: c'mon keep walking. Let's chat while we're at it.
Miku & Natsuki: okay!
The 3 of them began walking to school again and talked a bit.
When they got closer they decided separate.
Natsuki: well, it's been fun. Let's have some more fun after school alright?
Kaneki: sure.
Miku: see you later.
Natsuki then left.
Kaneki: well, shall we?
Miku: yeah, let's go.
Kaneki and Miku then went to school.
