Chapter 612 - The Senpai Who Sacrificed herself for her Kohai

Flashback cut*

All 6: W-WHAT?!

Kaneki: I know... I was very shocked when I saw this, I don't know what exactly happened because I was knocked out. But one thing was clear Senpai continued the fight whilst protecting me.

Flashback*

When I looked around I saw what was left of the flying monkeys base, it was all engulfed by fire and the smell of burning bodies filled the air.

But Senpai...

Kaneki: Senpai! W-What happened to you?! You're bleeding everywhere!

As I said I was in complete shock and I was also in the verge of crying, seeing her in that state caused me to remember when Mama "died".

Yuzuki: It's alright Kaneki, they won't come for us anymore.

Compared to me who was panicking, Senpai was calm and... Happy.

Kaneki: But we need to get you help! You're losing so much blood!

Yuzuki: Kaneki...

Kaneki: I can't... I can't lose you too... C'mon get up!

I desperately tried to help her get up but she was too heavy for me at the time.

Kaneki: PLEASE JUST GET UP!

Yuzuki: it's pointless.

Kaneki: Please... Don't say that...

Yuzuki: Kaneki... My body is damaged beyond repair, and with so much blood I lost... I only have a few minutes left of living.

Kaneki: No... NOOOOOOOOOO!

Drip!

Kaneki: Sob~ no... I can't... I don't want to lose you too...

I couldn't help but cry, even though it was a short time with her I've gotten attached to Senpai, you could say she was like an older sister of some sorts...

But even though she was dying in front of me, she was still willing to help me.

Yuzuki: I only have two regrets Kaneki... The first that I wasn't able to achieve my dream and... I wasn't able to help you.

Kaneki: What? That's not right... You did help me Senpai... Even if it's just a little you helped me a lot...

Even though she was right, I still think she helped me a lot. I didn't want to listen to her anymore because it would hurt but she continued to talk.

Yuzuki: Kaneki... I have someone important to tell you.

Kaneki: ...

Yuzuki: I will leave everything I have for you, everything that I own will be yours.

Kaneki: What?

Yuzuki: I knew I was not coming out of this mission alive, so I prepared a will for you to inherit everything I have including my house.

Kaneki: Why?

Yuzuki: who else would take care of my home? You can do anything with it, even give it away if you want to... Anyways that's not the important thing I wanted to tell you.

Kaneki: What is it?

Yuzuki: there is a way for you to learn how to use guns on my level very quickly, you want to get more powerful right? To bring your Mama back to life... Cough! And to protect your friends and family right?

Hearing her say that, I looked at her with tears building up in my eyes.

Yuzuki: Kaneki... If you want to wield and use guns on my level, you have to eat my eyes, arms and legs. So please do it once I've passed away.

Flashback cut*

All 6: EAT HER WHAT?!

Kaneki: I know it sounds bad but-

Miku: HOW DOES EATING HER EYES, ARMS AND LEGS HELP YOU AT ALL?!

Natsuki: YEAH?! THAT IS VERY DISGUSTING!

Sachi, Shino, Yuuka & Chikao: DON'T TELL US YOU ACTUALLY ATE HER?!

Kaneki: Well...

All 6: YOU ACTUALLY DID?!

Kaneki: Well...

Flashback*

Kaneki: What? No... That's disgusting Senpai, how does eating you help me at all?

I didn't quite understand it myself, why would she make me eat those specific parts of her body? She then explained it to me.

Yuzuki:Cough! you're half Demon right? You should know when Demons eat the flesh that came from other sentient Cough! Cough! beings like Humans, they can inherit their skills. So I'm offering to give you my skills.

What she was saying was from a myth, no one actually knows whether demons could actually do that, and I was half human so there was a chance that it wouldn't work.

Kaneki: No! What you are saying is from a myth! And even if there's a chance of it working in half human as well! It might not work!

I didn't want to eat those body parts, the chances of it working was near impossible but...

Yuzuki: Cough! Please Kaneki... I want to help you... Even if it's just a little... Cough! And I'm sorry I have to put you through this...

Seeing her body getting more pale and coughs increasing, there was no way I could refuse Senpai's wish.

Kaneki: Fine...

Yuzuki: Good... At least I could be of help even in death... Cough! Kaneki...

As she called out to me one more time, she stared into my eyes as I did the same to her. And she told me.

Yuzuki: Thank you... For saving me. I'm happy to have you as my Kohai...

After she had said this... She closed her eyes forever.

After this, Querxes sensei and the others came after 3 hours, they retrieved Senpai's body and brought me to their base, some of them stayed to make sure that there was no survivors.

Blast!

Burst!

After we had gotten into their base, I told them everything that Senpai had told me. Including her wish for me to eat her eyes, arms and legs.

And surprisingly.

Robecca: I understand, I'll go prepare her body now... I'm sorry you have to go through this Kaneki...

Robecca sensei, understood and immediately went to remove Senpai's eyes, arms and legs.

Well...

Robecca: Why did you do this Yuzu? I was planning to celebrate your retirement...

It was also hard for her, even though she was a robot she seemed very close to Senpai.

After she had successfully removed both eyes, arms and legs from Senpai's body they were given to me and my Sensei's were the ones who buried Senpai's body.

Flashback cut*

Kaneki: and since I was in position of those body parts I had to eat them quickly so they wouldn't end up bad. So I did not eat anything besides Senpai's body parts for two whole nights.

Natsuki: No way...

Kaneki: When night came I went to my sensei's base and ate her eyes arms and legs. It was both slow and agonizing, after all I was eating Senpai who I was very close to.

Sachi: poor Kaneki....

Kaneki: I made sure to not leave any piece, I consumed everything including her bones. After I consumed everything I didn't eat anything for four days since I needed time to absorb everything.

Miku: so the time when you were "fasting" was really...

Kaneki: yup, I was really digesting.

Yuuka: Ugh.

Sachi: so? What did Shoujo-san tasted like?

All 5: Sachi?!

Kaneki: Sachi! Why would you ask that?!

Sachi: Oh sorry, I've gotten curious.

Kaneki: Well... Disgusting, since I ate everything raw. I almost vomited a lot. And probably the most disgusting body part I ate was Senpai's eyes! They were very slimy and when I bit into them fluids bursted out!

Chikao: Oh my, I think I'm going to vomit.

Kaneki: Yeah same... Ughhh~ after I had fully digested everything I went to train with Senpai's guns.

Flashback*

Bang! Bang!

And surprisingly.

Robecca: Good job Kaneki, you took out the Targets in very little time!

I was actually able to inherit Senpai's skills.

Kaneki: AGAIN!

I used her guns and Moms web gun very well, no matter what gun I used I was able to use them perfectly.

And one they when I was walking the area where me and Senpai used to play/train, I saw a target I didn't really have anything with me ag the time so I made a finger gun.

And when I pointed it at the target and said "bang".

Crack!

My arm suddenly turned into a thing that looked like a gun.

Flashback end*

Kaneki: After some inspection from Robecca sensei, we had found that it was actually an ability that came from Senpai, we didn't know how this ability came to be. One of our theories is that my desire to get stronger might've affected the skills I had inherited from Senpai so the skills manifested as an ability.

Yuuka: Wow that was unexpected.

Miku: Even in death she actually helped you to get stronger huh? I wish we could've met her.

Sachi: Yeah! I wonder if she actually retired and became a teacher, would she be working at our school?

Kaneki: that would be nice, and kind of awkward too haha~ thanks for listening guys, although I'm sorry for not giving complete details because I'm saying the things from my perspective.

Natsuki: It's alright, we're glad to help.

Chikao: you probably have a lot more to tell, but it's alright we're here for you.

Shino: I honestly respect Shoujo-san, yeah she was a bit mean to you in the beginning but she did helped you and became nice.

Yuuka: yeah, it sucks we didn't get to know more of her though because of your limited data about her.

Kaneki: Yeah... Wait actually I forgot to mention one thing that bothered me when Senpai died.

All 6: which is?

Kaneki: there was actually a huge amount of glowing molten metal around her.

Natsuki: Huh? What?

Kaneki: I'm being serious, there was a a large amount of molten metal around her. I didn't quite understand where these metal even came from, and more surprising is that the metal actually didn't burnt her one bit.

Yuuka: that does sound strange.

Shino: by the way what did she look like Kaneki?

Kaneki: well, she was around our age, 15. And well Shino's actually kind of similar to senpai.

Sachi: Shino?

Yuuka, Miku, Chikao & Natsuki: How?

Kaneki: well they are nearly the same height and they both have big chest.

Shino: ...

All 5: ...

Kaneki: What? Oh yeah girls are sensitive about those stuff, I'm sorry.

Shino: it's alright Kaneki, you don't even understand why we're sensitive about our chest anyways.

Kaneki: Hmmm~ oh wait! I actually have a photo of her, you guys wanna see?

All 6: yeah sure.

Kaneki: okay I'll be right back!

(Author: Hey Narrator where are you? The flashback has ended already it's your time)

Oh sorry I'll get back to work.

After hearing the Higanbana girls wanting to see the photo, Kaneki went to his basement to fetch the photo he had of him and Shoujo Yuzuki.

He then returned with it and showed it to the Higanbana girls with a happy face.

Kaneki: Here it is! Feast your eyes on Senpai!

He placed the photo on the table, and as the Higanbana girls looked at it they were surprised.

All 6: Wait isn't that?!

Kaneki: Hmm? What's wrong?

Kaneki didn't understand why they were shocked until.

Yuuka: Kaneki... This Senpai of yours... She looks like a Demon Knight you had summoned when you used Grand's power.

Kaneki: What? C'mon you guys are joking right? Senpai is not a Demon Knight, she was just a human like all of you.

Natsuki: We're not saying she is, but there was a Demon Knight who looks a lot like your Senpai when you unleashed the powers of the Demon Knights.

Kaneki: R-Really?

Chikao: Yeah! She even had gun for arms and even her wings looked like guns.

Kaneki: ... This is unbelievable... Sigh~

Sachi: hey I think we shouldn't have said that.

Kaneki: no no, it's alright. I'm very surprised but wow, there's no way... Maybe Senpai was like me? Wait no that's not possible, apart from My Grandparents, Great Aunt and Mama. There weren't any other Demon Knights around, so how?

Yuuka: yikes we're sorry for making you-

Kaneki: It's alright... Know what? I'm gonna go visit Senpai's grave, you girls wanna come?

Natsuki: are you sure?

Kaneki: Yup, I'd bet Senpai would be happy to meet you guys.

Sachi: in that case, lets go.

Kaneki: alright.

Splash!

Kaneki then used Darkness travel to send them to Senpai's grave.
