Chapter 5 - Kaneki's reason to live

Kaneki: seriously Mizutani-san you almost blew it we're lucky we were able to fool them.

Natsuki: sorry it won't happen again, I'll keep our secret in mind.

Kaneki: good.

After what happened earlier we needed to talk so at lunch break me and Mizutani-san went to a room where no one goes into to prevent anybody discovering us in there I told Mizutani-san to whisper when talking.

And if someone is going enter the room I would randomly disappear to keep our secret.

Kaneki: anyways what did you need to talk to me about earlier?

Natsuki: I wanted to thank you for agreeing to be my friend.

Kaneki: well like I had any choice? you were planning to end it all if I said no, am I wrong?

Natsuki:..

Sh*t I messed up! I shouldn't have said that.

Kaneki: oh.. sorry I messed up I shouldn't have say that.

Natsuki: it's alright Kaneki-kun the thing is you're right I was going to end myself if you declined but I'm quite surprised you knew.

Kaneki: well I know what's it's like.

Natsuki: wait you also wanted to end it all? how did you get through it?

Kaneki: well it's thanks to my 4 hero's.

Natsuki: 4 hero's?

I explained to Mizutani-san what my 4 hero's did to "save" me and told her that they were 4 of my friends.

Natsuki: I see, so when you were a kid when you were training you on the brink of losing your mind and started to be blinded by power but then 4 "hero's" as you call them came to you and because of their involvement with you, you gain control of yourself to so you can protect them?

Kaneki: yes.

Natsuki: who were they?

Kaneki: 2 of my childhood friends, my best friend and one who I thought and still think as a sibling.

Natsuki: really! but what happened to them and you didn't you say you were with them your entire life?

Kaneki: well My other childhood friend went to a different school and the other 3.. well they estranged me.

Natsuki: What! that's horrible why would they do that!?

Kaneki: well they had their reasons. I was hurt at first but I decided to respect their decision and support them.

Natsuki: why?

Kaneki: well-

Natsuki: why would they estrange you, you were so nice and caring why would they do that? after all 5 of you vowed to stay friends no matter what... I'm sorry Kaneki I overreacted!

Kaneki: it's alright I'm still supporting them until now by not interacting with them. but if there's one thing I regret is not being able to thank them maybe if I told them that I was thankful to them my entire life maybe they wouldn't have estranged me.

Natsuki: why don't you tell them?

Kaneki:... honestly it's probably because I'm a coward, but as long they don't hate me I will still have my reason to live

Natsuki: you...want a hug Kaneki-kun?

Kaneki: no need I'm doing good I'm strong after all.

Natsuki: yeah...

Kaneki:...

it was so awkward for Natsuki and Me that we didn't talk for 10 minutes until.

Natsuki: hey Kaneki can I go to your house lat-

Kaneki: sorry you can't.

Natsuki: why!? you don't want me to be there?

Kaneki: it's not that it's because my parents are going to the airport because they are going on a trip to Hawaii they won't be back for 1 month and 2 weeks plus after they depart I'm going to the forest to train to get stronger and get more power.

Natsuki: I see, Kaneki why do you want to get stronger and get more power? I know it has something to do with your dead mother but what is it exactly? I heard the girls talk about your promise to your dead mother but I couldn't hear it clearly because of the girls looking at me.

Kaneki:... well I don't like talking about it.

Natsuki: eh! sorry-

Kaneki: but I'll tell you. do you know the murderous child incident that happened 12 years ago?

Natsuki: I heard rumours but I doubt a 3 year child was able to kill 20 kidnappers?.

Kaneki: well those rumours were true. because I was that 3 year old that killed those 20 Murderers.

Natsuki: What!

Kaneki: yes, I'll make it short basically I got kidnapped my mom tried to save me with this very katana but she got shot I took her katana and killed all 20 Murderers, when I came to my mom she was bleeding I knew she was dying but, she said that I must get stronger and more powerful so 2 tree's would grow with fruits I must eat to bring her back so I promised to her that I would get stronger and get more power to bring her back.

Natsuki: wow. I can't believe it you experienced something horrible like that I'm sorry for your loss, you know I'm surprised your not cry-.

Kaneki: "sniffing and tearing"

Natsuki: sorry I shouldn't had asked about your promise.

Kaneki: thanks for your concern but you know if it wasn't for those 4 I would have ended up as a bad person. they are the reason I am who I am today and they all gave me reasons to live that being to make sure those 4 are happy and keeping my promise to mom.

Natsuki: you really love them that much huh? well in that case I'll support you and remember I will never leave you I promise.

Hearing those words was really tough for me it reminded me of those 4 I was barely able to hold my tears at that moment I knew she really is a good person... I really am sick of myself for deceiving her acting like a really nice, good, and kind person infront of her.
