Thud!
Kaneki: this game sucks~
Yuuka: Don't be such a sore loser Kaneki.
Glare!
Kaneki: this is my 555th loss! Ever. Since. I. Started. Playing this damned card game!
After the girls had finished cutting and cleaning the grass that was growing around the Higanbana household.
They went back in to play Cinco with Kaneki.
And as usual Kaneki lost.
Kaneki: I'm not playing this damned stupid game again.
Kaneki was upset after losing again and sat down on the sofa with a amd face.
Natsuki: Don't give up Kaneki, you'll probably win one day.
Kaneki: doubt.
Yuuka: Don't try to force him, even when we tried to let him win just now he still lost-
All 5: Yuuka!
Kaneki: You guys were letting me win?! No fair!
Pout!
Kaneki was even more upset after learning this and began pouting.
Chikao: calm down Kaneki, it's alright.
Shino & Sachi: Yeah! There's no need to be upset!
Miku: Calm down Onii-chan.
Natsuki: Calm down Kaneki.
The girls were trying to calm him down but.
Kaneki: Wa-
Sachi, Shino, Yuuka, Miku, Chikao & Natsuki's thoughts*
(Oh no he's going to cry!)
The girls thought Kaneki was going to cry.
But to their surprise.
Kaneki: Got ya! Hahahahahaha!
Kaneki was laughing.
All 6: Huh?!
Kaneki: did you girls really think I would cry over a game? I ain't a kid you dummies.
Smack!
Sachi then came in and smack him.
Natsuki: Sachi?!
Kaneki: Don't worry I deserve that hehe~
Kaneki said happily.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(Wow it's like Kaneki acting like a child, I wonder what the state of his soul is right now? I better check it's colors)
Natsuki then used her ability to see the colors of people's soul to see the state of Kaneki's soul.
And when she looked she was a bit saddened to see it's state.
(His soul is still mostly dark, only little of the bright colors full of life are visible. Everything else is just sadness, guilt and self-hatred. Even with our help, it will take a long time for Kaneki to fully heal. What can I do to help him heal faster?)
Natsuki.
Natsuki was thinking of a way to help Kaneki heal faster but.
Kaneki: Natsuki.
She doesn't have time to think because Kaneki was calling out to her.
Natsuki: hmm? What is it?
Kaneki: hide.
Natsuki: what?
Natsuki was confused so she looked around and saw the others on the stairs.
Yuuka: Hide quick!
Shino: we're going to hide at Kaneki's room so be quick!
Natsuki: what why-
Ding dong!
There she suddenly heard, the doorbell.
Kaneki: that's why! Now hide in my room with everyone else!
Natsuki: Okay!
Natsuki then stood up and went up the stairs and to Kaneki's room with the other girls.
Sachi: is everyone here?
Shino: I'm here.
Yuuka: same here.
Chikao & Miku: I'm present.
Natsuki: I'm here too.
Sachi: good.
Natsuki: is there someone visiting?
Sachi: I don't know?! My parents don't usually visit this house unless they have nothing to do!
Chikao: is it by chance Both Kaneki's and Miku's parents?
Miku: No no that's impossible! They won't be back until next month after the W.S.S.F!
Yuuka: then who could it be-
Huuuuh?! What are you guys doing here?!
Shino: I wonder who it is?
Downstairs*
Kaneki: How did you guys find this place?!
Itsuki: oh we followed you yesterday.
Keiko: Yeah, we were worried so we followed you here.
Itsuki & Keiko: so don't mind us barging in!
Why did Itsuki and Keiko visit Kaneki? And what is their intentions?
