September 4, 2042*
4 Days after the W.S.S.F had concluded the time for Kaneki and the Higanbana girls to return to school has arrived.
Aiya: You two ready to go?
Kaneki: Yup.
Miku: All ready.
Atsuo: Good luck Kaneki, Miku.
Kaneki & Miku: We will.
Kaneki: By the way, where's Onee-chan?
Miku: Yeah I haven't seen that idiot since breakfast.
Aiya: She's buying some stuff.
Miku: Ahh I see, good I don't want to deal with her first thing in the morning.
Kaneki: Wow you really don't like her huh?
Miku: She's very annoying always treating me like a kid.
Yesterday~
Miku: Alright time to watch some Knight rider-
Flash!
Miku: Huh?! What are you doing?!
Kotori: Hehe~ Nothing just taking a picture of my cute baby sister watching her favorite show.
Miku: Shut up!
Kotori would treat Miku like a baby at almost everything she ever does. From taking pictures of her while she watches her favorite shows.
Miku: Eh?
Kotori: Hey Miku-chan want your Onee-chan to clean your body?
To trying clean her body in the Bath.
Kotori: Want me to brush your hair?
Miku: Leave me alone!
To trying to do her hair.
Present~
Miku: Seriously! That idiot won't leave me alone!
Kaneki: Hehe~ well she does want to be accepted by you.
Miku: Heh! I doubt I'll open up to her as much I did with Natsuki.
Kaneki: Speaking of Natsuki, she's probably waiting for us at the gate so we should get going.
Miku: Yeah that's right. We'll be on our way now.
Kaneki: We'll see you two later.
Atsuo & Aiya: Safe travels.
And so Kaneki and Miku got out of their home and met up with Natsuki at the other side of the gate.
Natsuki: Good morning Kaneki, Miku.
Kaneki & Miku: Good morning Natsuki.
They all happily greeted each other before walking up to the front of Sachi's house.
Kaneki: I'll go wake Sachi up and help her get ready, you two stay here.
Kaneki then went inside to wake and help Sachi get ready.
Natsuki: Hehe~ I'm so excited!
Miku: Hmm? For what?
Natsuki: Well we'll no longer need to separate when going to school, we can finally walk to school together normally.
Miku: Yeah you're right. I'm looking forward to it as well.
Natsuki: It's a dream come true~
Natsuki was very happy being able to walk to school with her friends without separating from them anymore, so much that she started to do a little dance.
Miku: Let's have some fun walking then-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
A loud scream then came out of Sachi's house.
Miku: Well I guess it won't be long till we depart.
A few minutes later~
Sachi: I'm so sorry for making you guys wait for me.
Natsuki: No need to apologize, anyways let's get going!
With Sachi now with them the four of them began to walk to Mato High.
Natsuki: Walking to school with my friends~♪ Walking to school with my friends~♪ I am so happy to be walking to school with my friends~♪
Kaneki: You really seem very happy Natsuki.
Natsuki: And it's all thanks to you Kaneki, I can't thank you enough. Now that I'm no longer "that" trash's "Childhood friend" I can do things that I actually like now without hiding it.
Miku: Man you really had it tough huh?
Natsuki: Yeah and I'm not the only one who was freed by Kaneki, Many others as well.
Miku: Really?
Natsuki: Yeah You, Shino, Yuuka and Many others too. By exposing how horrible he is many and those they are close to will no longer suffer because of him.
Kaneki: I still have to keep my end of the contract though so I still have to get stronger and powerful so I can make the second tree grow and bear fruit.
Sachi: And with your new powers maybe once you mastered them you'll make the second tree grow.
Kaneki: Yeah!
???: That's right or maybe even by overcoming something in you that the next tree would grow.
Someone's had suddenly joined in their conversation and after looking around for a bit they found who the voice belonged too.
All 4: Yuuka!
Yuuka: Hey everyone.
Yukka had came across them as they headed to Mato High.
Natsuki: Hehe~ could this day get any better?!
Natsuki was overjoyed seeing that more of her friends were coming together as they walked to school.
30 Minutes later~
On their way to school Shino and Chikao had joined them and they all had successfully got to Mato High without any trouble.
Natsuki: Hehe~ this feels so good~
And after arriving Natsuki was fully dazed after her dream of walking to school with friends had been fulfilled.
Kaneki: Okay okay let's head to our classroom now.
Natsuki: Okay~
Kaneki then began to drag Natsuki to their classroom while she was still in a happy daze.
Shino: Wow she really is happy with just walking huh?
Chikao: Don't blame her she never experienced something like this before, I actually felt the same way in middle school.
Sachi: Yeah you did have that same face when you walked to school with us, it was very cute.
Miku: C'mon guys let's go.
Sachi, Shino, Yuuka & Chikao: Okay.
And the rest followed.
Itsuki: Yo Kaneki!
After arriving to their room Kaneki was greeted by Itsuki.
Kaneki: Yo.
Once he and the Higanbana girls all got in, he separated from them and went to the back corner of the room where Itsuki and Keiko were at.
Itsuki: So how're you now Kaneki?
Kaneki: I'm doing quite well my parents are back, Onee-chan and look at Natsuki she's very happy now that she can walk to school with me with no worry.
Both took a look at Natsuki and her joy was very visible.
Natsuki: Hehe~ I'm so happy~
Keiko: Wow she really is super happy.
Itsuki: I've never seen a girl that happy for just walking.
Kaneki: Yeah but seeing her so happy is making me happy too. Hehe~
Kaneki made a warm smile as he looked at Natsuki again.
Itsuki: On another note did you get any stares when you got here?
Kaneki: What do you mean?
Keiko: Well with pretty much the whole school's female population being you know obsessed with "that guy" and you know...
Itsuki: Exposing him, ruining his face and pretty much destroying his entire reputation you were bound to get stares.
Kaneki: Oh yeah!
After hearing the two out Kaneki finally noticed the stares he got when he arrived.
Kaneki: Yeah I think I did noticed it, but unlike before they weren't staring at me with Malice but more of fear.
Azusa: Could you blame them cousin?
Kaneki's cousin and her boyfriend, Azusa Shirogane and Emi-kun had arrived in their classroom and joined in the conversation.
Emi: That's right after they somehow realized how messed up they treated you they felt guilty and after seeing how furious your mother was and how brutal you were they think that you'll do the same thing to them what you did to Ita- "that guy".
Upon hearing Emi-kun's explanation regarding the fear many of the female students in Mato High, Kaneki couldn't help but pity them.
Kaneki: Seriously? Yikes that is horrible I should definitely do something about that.
Itsuki: I disagree! You should-
Swoosh~!.
Itsuki: And~ he's gone.
Chikao: What were you going to suggest to him?
Chikao came up to the group while glaring at Itsuki.
Sensing her anger and knowing lying would be pointless he told the truth.
Itsuki: I was going to tell him a joke about using the fear they have of him to make them do his bidding.
Chikao: Keiko-
Smack!
Itsuki: Ow!
Keiko: Done. Seriously why did you think that was a good idea.
Just as Itsuki was smacked in the head Kaneki made his move.
"Hello hello this is Higanbana Kaneki speaking"
???: Shit! It's Higanbana!
???: He's going to punish us!
After taking control of the whole school's P.a system he began a Broadcast that immediately made most of the female students in his school to panic.
Each one of them thinking that he was going to punish them painfully.
"This is a message to most of the female students. It has been brought to my attention that you're all afraid of me which I can understand. After all you all attacked my friends a couple of days ago just because you were obsessed with some guy"
???: Crap!
???: We're so screwed!
They were all so afraid.
"But please be reassured, I have no intention of harming any of you"
But their fear soon turned to confusion.
???: What?
???: What is he talking about?
"You all may have brought harm to my friends and even brought me to the brink of s*icide but I can forgive you all since you showed guilt upon realizing that what you had done is wrong"
???: We're forgiven? Haa~ good-
"But please keep in mind I'm still kinda angry that you all attacked my friends so please do consume punishment slop and post it in the internet"
???: Eek!
???: looks like we're not coming out unscathed.
???: Well this is aot better right?
???: I guess he really is kind huh?
As Kaneki finished his message the female students all began to calm down, and he returned to his Classroom.
Kaneki: Yo I'm back.
Shino: Was that really necessary Kaneki?
Kaneki: Well I rather not have anyone be afraid of me, plus it would be a pain getting stared at all the time.
Shino: Fair.
With that now out of the way, it won't be long till their class starts.
