Chapter 614 - Yuzuki Shoujo (1)

As Kaneki was strucked by the purple lightning containing his Senpai's memories, he began to the memories quietly.

(Author: The one who will be narrating for now will be Yuzuki Shoujo)

Yuzuki: Come here Querxes sensei!

After I met that Higanbana Kaneki kid, I immediately confronted Querxes sensei who was responsible for sending him to me.

Querxes: I'm sorry! I didn't have a choice! He wanted to learn how to use his gun!

Yuzuki: Why would you do that?! The only guns he's allowed to use is toy guns!

I was very furious at him, sending a kid to train under me? An assassin?! What a stupid joke!

I chased after him shooting many bullets at him until I ran out.

Click! Click!

Yuzuki: Tch! You really are an irresponsible adult.

Querxes: I'm sorry okay! Kaneki would have ambushed me again if I didn't tell him! He'll probably do the same to you now that you refused.

Yuzuki: Ambush me? Please I'll see him before he could see me.

I already knew what that kid was going to do, he'll ambush me over and over until I accept him.

Yuzuki: I'll just shoot him over and over until he gives up.

Querxes: Yuzuki... Don't be too rough on him okay?

Yuzuki: Whatever, I'm going to make sure he gives up.

As I was leaving, I whispered to mysel saying "I won't let him the path I chose".

After this I carefully planned on how to deal with that kid.

Yuzuki: These toxins will hurt a lot but it won't kill him, and from the information I have about him. His regeneration is very strong compared to others.

As I was making plans I noticed a picture frame containing the picture of me with my family and friends.

Yuzuki: ... I won't let that kid end up like me.

Although we were very different, I feared that kid would end up like me. That is the last thing I would want for that kid.

After making preparations, I began to hunt that kid until he gives up.

Bang!

Kaneki: AAAAARGH!

Yuzuki: Hurts doesn't it? You better give up now because that will be the least painful-

Kaneki: NOT YET! I AIN'T GONNA GIVE UP YET!

Yuzuki: Heh good luck with that.

Even though my first attempt was a fail, he was temporarily paralyzed, every time he gets paralyzed I bring him to a safe area until 2 hours past because at exactly 2:00 a.m he would return home.

Kaneki: Tch! I'll get you next time Senpai!

Yuzuki: don't count on it kid.

I was very confident that he would give up very soon.

Yuzuki: This is for the best, you don't need to do this anymore kid. Your mom would want you to live in peace.

But that confidence didn't last long.

Bang!

Kaneki: Not yet!

Bang!

Kaneki: Is that all you got?!

Bang!

Day after day I shot him over and over again, but he never gave up. He continued to try to ambush me and one day...

Yuzuki: Where is he-

Kaneki: Senpai!

Yuzuki: AHH!

Bang!

Pierce!

Kaneki: Hey it no longer hurts!

Yuzuki: You little! Just give up already!

Kaneki: No way! Teach me how to use guns!

His tenacity was insane, not only that he had gotten used to the toxins I've put into the bullets and became completely immune.

Kaneki: Teach me Senpai!

Yuzuki: No!

After this had happened I never got any rest, even though I was still able to ambush him he would just run straight at me begging for me to teach him.

This continued for months up to the next year when he turned 5.

He never stopped attempting to ambush me until one night.

Yuzuki: Okay! I'm prepared!

1 hour later*

Yuzuki: What? He's supposed to be here by now.

He didn't came, I thought he would have given up but considering that he went months not stopping it was obvious he hadn't really stopped.

A few more nights went by without him attacking, so I decided to ask the only person I could rely on.

Robecca: Oh hey Yuzu, what brings you here?

Robecca sensei, I liked her more than the others. Mostly because she was a sentient robot and she agrees with me most of the time.

Yuzuki: Hey sensei, I have something to ask.

Robecca: is it about Kaneki?

Yuzuki: Yes, that kid hasn't tried to ambush me for a while. I know very well he hasn't given up, could you tell me what he has been up to?

She was one of 2 members of the council who were watch over the Higanbana family so she probably had known why that kid hasn't attacked me yet.

But to my surprise.

Robecca: Oh that's because He made a new friend.

I didn't expect that would be the reason he would stop attacking.

Yuzuki: What? That's the reason?

Robecca: Yup, and those two are getting along pretty well they are even researching books from the Demon Knights to find the Liberator.

Yuzuki: What?! But isn't that?

Robecca: Correct, although they made a promise though. Every relic they would find will belong to his friend.

Yuzuki: so this new friend is using him?

Robecca: Nope, surprisingly Kaneki was the one who made this promise.

Yuzuki: No way. That's strange... Why?

Robecca: I don't know. But you can rest easy for the time being, since he's very busy with his friends and the relic you don't need to be on edge.

Yuzuki: Yeah... I guess you're right.

I was relieved that I could finally take a break from that kid but... There was something bothering me.

"Senpai!"

Yuzuki: AHHH!

I kept having nightmares about that kid, in these nightmares he would come to save me but get killed in to process.

I've grown very worried about him because of these nightmares that happened for a few days, and one day I went to watch over him for no reason.

Yuzuki: ...

I was far and he didn't noticed me but.

Sachi: Tag you're it!

Miku: come get us Shino-Oneechan!

Yuuka: you two can't catch us!

Kaneki: Let's get them Shita-chan!

Shino: Yeah!

I watched him play tag with his friends and they were all happily playing and that Higanbana kid was so different with his friends.

Compared to the tenacious kid who wants to get stronger, the one I saw was a playful and innocent boy.

Yuzuki: this is what you should be doing instead of searching for power kid.

As I left I remembered his words when we first met.

"of course! I have a lot of people to protect!"

Yuzuki: so these are the ones you want to protect huh?

Since then the nightmares I had stopped but something else replaced them.

"Great Job Yuzuki!"

"You were awesome back there!"

"That's our Yuzu!"

Memories of my friends and family.

I didn't understand, but these memories began coming back to me after I watched him and his friends.

Many different memories played in my head.

Memories of playing together, sleeping together, bonding and many more good memories.

But also bad ones.

"XXX-chan took my lunch!"

"Yuzuki why would you like to us?! Don't you know lying is bad?!"

"Yuzuki you should go apologize to XXX-chan now"

"I can't believe my daughter is a lier"

I lied about one of my friends stealing my lunch during summer break, I thought it wasn't a big deal because I would be forgiven but...

"No I hate you!"

Because of that lie all of my friends no longer trusted me and started avoiding me.

My parents did forgive me for lying but... I had to apologize to my friends. Considering I did wronged them I was planning to apologize to XXX-chan.

I know it wouldn't had been much but I made everyone some delicious food for when we return to school...

And when the day came.

Boom!

Our school was attacked. Before I could even talk to my friends and apologize those flying monkeys came in, destroyed the school and killed everyone.

My friends, my family... Every one else... Everyone had died in that attack, except for me.

The only reason I'm still alived was because the Demon Knights, Yurei, Shimo and Shin came.

Although they were supposed to be retired they came in Hiragi's place.

They were able to kill many of the flying monkeys and drive some of them including the ones who killed my friends and family away.

The scene where my friends, their families and my own family getting killed haunted me for a long time.

I was trapped in my home drinking milk and eating nearly spoiled food and occasionally fermented apples.

Yuzuki: I'm sorry... I'm sorry that our last interaction was a fight...

But one day as I was crying and blaming myself. He came.

At first I was confused and yelled at him, I thought he learned about my home because of Querxes sensei. But he quickly told me he found my home himself.

He then looked at the T.v, it was playing videos from my childhood. Before that day.

He looked at me with a face filled with concern and asked what happened to me, he wanted to know more.

I knew I shouldn't be telling this to a kid but that innocent look on his eyes made me breakdown.

I told him my entire story and he comforted me.

He told me everything would be alright and he'd bet my friends and family had forgiven me.

Hearing those words made me cry even more, I couldn't help but hug him very tightly and cry out, and he stayed until I had calmed down.

After a while he had to leave, and the "body" he was using will be destroyed as it was a clones body he was controlling.

But before he left, he told me that we're putting our "training" on hold.

He offered to help out on cleaning my home, he was worried I would get sick and even said that my parents would be sad if they see me like this.

And he then left.

Yuzuki: ... Has my home really been this dirty? The 5 years I was alone in my home, I didn't even noticed it was filled with trash. Sigh~ That's kid... Well better get started.

Seeing that concerned kids face, I suddenly felt like I shouldn't worry him so I began to clean myself. Although it was easier said then done.

Crash!

Yuzuki: Ughhh~ this is so disgusting... Have I really been living in a dump for 5 years?

There was so much trash and it was difficult to clean up the piles of trash because they would collapse.

When the sun rised I tried to clean again but the same results.

Crash!

Yuzuki: I really do need help...

I couldn't clean my home alone so I waited for nighttime, and then.

Kaneki: sorry for the intrusion! Cleaning Kaneki is here!

Yuzuki: what are all this?

Kaneki: cleaning tools, but before we could use them. Let's take out all of the trash!

Yuzuki: and how do you plan to do that? Those piles are huge and they would collapse when you take one part off.

Kaneki: that's easy for me!

Crack!

Kaneki: I can just take from the highest part and go down slowly.

He had turned into his Demonized form, after all he was half human and half demon.

Kaneki: alright I'll get started! I'll put the trash in the trash bags and you put them outside, also tell me what's trash and what's not okay? I don't want to accidentally throw away any of your important items.

Yuzuki: Got it.

On our first night of cleaning we were able to clean the first half of one of the huge trash piles before he had to leave.

Kaneki: Sorry senpai I have to go again.

Yuzuki: you have school right? Don't worry go back to your main body.

Kaneki: Hehe~ thanks! I'll be back tonight! Maybe I should bring some snacks too.

Burst!

Yuzuki: ... I didn't even get to thank him.

We continued to clean up my home night after night, and each time he visits he would bring a lot of food too.

Yuzuki: Nom! This is some good food.

Kaneki: Thanks! I heard from Querxes sensei that you'd only eat food from the convenience store. I heard from dad it's not healthy to always eat food from there so I brought the food Aiya Mama made.

Yuzuki: your step mom huh? Who do you like more? Your step Mom? Or your Real Mom?

Kaneki: What are you talking about? They're both my real Mama.

Yuzuki: Heh. Good answer kid.

Kaneki: My name is Kaneki you know? Can you just call me by my name please?

Yuzuki: Yeah yeah, whatever Kaneki.

Kaneki: Yay! Senpai likes me now!

For weeks we cleaned up my home and bonded at the same time, I've grown to like the kid.

But even then I still didn't want him to train under me.

But when I asked about his reason for wanting to get more powerful.

Kaneki: Yup, once I get powerful enough trees of powers will grow and when I eat their fruits I'll gain the power to bring her back to life! Oh maybe I could do the same for your friends and family.

He said it happily and I thought it would be good but... Would they even want to see me like this?

He did quickly apologize for saying something he shouldn't have.

But... Just by hearing his reasons. I noticed how big of a difference we have.

Compared to me who is filled with vengeance, Kaneki was more focused on bringing back his mom. All because of a promise.

I know deep down he wants to avenge her as well, but that was the last thing in his mind.

Out of nowhere I told him to not end up like me, he was confused but he said he'd tried his best.

Then out of nowhere he asked me what my dream was, I told him I wanted to be a teacher but that dream is down the drain.

But he encouraged me to follow my dream.

After I said I would think about it, I accidentally told him that we would get back to training. And that he needed to lean how to use guns.

He was very overjoyed by this, and it was around the time he would leave. So I couldn't take it back.

After seeing that happy face, I made my decision.

Yuzuki: He and I are vastly different, he probably won't end up like me. He wants to bring his Mom back... In that case... I will help him.

I would help him achieve his goal, but...

Yuzuki: I have to eliminate them first. Better get started then.

I needed to eliminate the biggest threat.
