Chapter 396 - Miku's reassurance

After escaping from the base of the Clad of black wings, Kaneki and Miku was supposed to get very far but suddenly, they crashed.

And now, Miku watched as Kaneki started repeating the same words over and over.

Kaneki: Must go home! Must kill them all! Must go home! Must kill them all! Must go home!

Kaneki was holding his head as he said those words as if he was in pain.

Miku: Onii-chan?! What's wrong?!

Miku was worried about Kaneki since they just crashed.

"Miku, Kaneki doesn't know what to do now"

Miku: Mo-chan is that you?

"Yes, I'm talking to you telepathically"

Miku: what's wrong with Onii-chan? Why is he acting this way?

"Like I said, he doesn't know what to do right now"

Miku: be more specific!

"... He doesn't know whether he should kill those people or go home with you"

Miku: what?

Miku was shocked to what Mo-chan said.

"His original intentions for coming here was to save you and to kill all of the Clad of black wings"

Miku: then why didn't he killed all of them when he got there- No! Why didn't he kill anyone on his way here?!

"... I convinced him a little but... The real reason was because he was afraid"

Miku: afraid? What could he possibly be afraid of?!

Miku couldn't believe that her brother could possibly be afraid, because.

Miku: Onii-chan is fearless! He can't be scared!

In her eyes, Kaneki was someone who doesn't know fear.

"You're wrong Miku, he was afraid... Of you"

Miku: H-Huh?

Miku was shocked after hearing Mo-chan say that.

Miku: me? Why?

"He thought you would be afraid of him"

Miku: why would-

"He doesn't want you to see how scary he is because he thinks you'll be afraid of him and hate him"

Miku: ...

Miku was speechless.

"So right now... He wants go home with you but... He also wants to kill of those people"

Miku: and those two desires are in conflict...

"Correct"

Miku: ... I know what to do.

Miku stood up and got closer Kaneki.

Kaneki: Must go home! Must kill them all! Must go home! Must kill them all!

Miku: Onii-chan.

Miku called out to Kaneki and

Kaneki: ?!

Kaneki looked at her with a scared face.

Miku: Onii-chan, you want to kill them all right?

Kaneki: ?!

Kaneki's face changed from scared to confused.

Miku: If you want to kill them... Then it's alright, there's no need for you to hold back.

Kaneki's face went back to being scared, and then he started talking.

Kaneki: No... I can't... I don't want to...

Miku: why?

Kaneki: you'll be afraid of me, you'll hate me... After all, who would want a murderer as their bro-

Hug*

Miku then came in and hugged Kaneki before he could finish what he wa saying.

Miku: Onii-chan... You idiot. Didn't we told you we'd accept you no matter what you are?

Kaneki: !!!

Hearing his sister say those words, Kaneki remembered a memory from 6 months ago.

Flashback*

Kaneki: ...

Sachi: what's wrong Kaneki?

Shino: you're spacing out, what's wrong?

Yuuka: do you have something in your mind?

Miku: Please tell us Onii-chan!

Kaneki: no.. it's nothing... It's just I'm really surprised.

Yuuka: surprised? On what?

Kaneki: all these years, you all still hang around me even after witnessing all my act violence and me being crazy for attain more power.

All 4: yeah so?

Kaneki: well any normal person would be afraid or avoid me all together, yet you guys do-

Smack!

Kaneki: Ow! What was that for?!

Sachi: that was for thinking we're normal, you know best that we're not.

Shino: that's right, besides unlike everyone else we understand why you're a bit violent at times.

Yuuka: and we know you wouldn't hurt us, so why would we be afraid?

Miku: that's right! We'll accept you no matter what!

Yuuka: be it your form.

Sachi, Shino & Miku: or how you act.

Kaneki: but why?

Sachi, Shino & Yuuka: because you're our friend!

Miku: because you're my Onii-chan!

Flashback end*

Kaneki: ... Do you accept this murderer as your family?

Miku: of course, and don't call yourself a murderer Onii-chan, you're not a murderer to me. You'll always be my sweet and gentle Onii-chan.

After hearing her say that.

Kaneki took off Miku's arms from him.

Kaneki: stay here.

And he stood up.

Miku: Onii-chan.

Kaneki: if anyone gets close to you call me.

Miku: okay...

Kaneki then looked at the direction of the base of the Clad of black wings.

Kaneki: I'm off-

Miku: Onii-chan!

Before Kaneki would leave, Miku called out to him one more time.

Kaneki looked back at her and Miku said.

Miku: good luck.

Kaneki: thanks, I'm off.

And so, Kaneki left to finish what he has started.

But will he be satisfied?
