Tohru: [Thank you for being friends with my baby, Natsuki-chan]
Natsuki: N-No need to thank me Higanbana-san!
After Kaneki left to prepare himself for his battle with his older sister Kotori, he left his Mother with the Higanbana girls.
And Natsuki was the one currently holding onto her.
Tohru: [Man I really want to see you girls, but i can't see anything]
Chikao: What is Higanbana-san saying?
Natsuki: She wants to see us, but can't see anything.
Yuuka: She doesn't have eyes so she definitely won't be able to see anything.
Tohru: [Well I was able to regain some of my power now because of Kaneki-chan, so what about we all have a nice girl talk?]
All 6: Huh?!
Flash!
Suddenly the sword that Tohru was in flashed a bright light that covered the entire room.
All of the Higanbana girls closed their eyes due to the bright light, but after they opened.
All 6: Huh?
Tohru: Nice to meet all of you, Wow you're all so cute.
They saw Tohru in front of them.
Sachi: Aunty... It's been so long.
Shino's thoughts*
(Aunty... It's been so long)
Both Sachi and Shino stared at Tohru, someone they haven't seen in a long time.
Tohru: Hey Sachi-chan~ wow you've grown very big since I last saw you, you look so cute.
Sachi: Hehe~ thanks.
Swoosh~!
Squish!
Miku: Eh?!
Tohru: So you're Miku right? Wow Aiya-san has a cute daughter.
Swoosh!
Touch*
Chikao: Eh?!
Tohru: So you're Chikao huh? You have such beautiful hair.
Swoosh!
Tohru was inspecting all of the Higanbana girls.
Tohru: Hehe~ My son's friends are all so cute.
Chikao: Kaneki's Mother seem very proud of him.
Miku: Yeah.
Tohru: anyways, pleasure to meet you all.
Chikao: Um... Nice to meet you Higanbana-san.
Tohru: Please, just call me Tohru-san. But Miku can call me Mommy.
Miku: I am not calling you that.
Sachi: Aunty what did you do to us by the way? Where are we?
Tohru: oh you're here in my mind, we Demon Knights have some degree of telepathic powers so we can do stuff like this.
Yuuka: Really?
Tohru: Yes. Well then can you girls tell me how you all met my Baby Kaneki?
Natsuki: Eh? Baby?
Tohru: Ara~ that was embarrassing hehe~ sorry but even if Kaneki's bigger now I still consider him my baby.
Seeing how Tohru was treating Kaneki like a baby-
Natsuki: Wo~ah! Tohru-san is so sweet!
Natsuki couldn't help but find her cute.
Tohru: Hehe~ am I really? Looks like I still have that charm for someone of my age.
Yuuka: wait how old are you exactly?
Tohru: Oh me and Atsuo are around the same age, so around 31 years old.
All 6: THATS SO YOUNG!
Tohru: Hmm? Really? How old are your parents though?
Sachi: Oh wait... Actually my parents are the same age as you.
Miku: Same with my mom although she's slightly younger by 1 year.
Shino: Yeah my parents are the same with Sachi's parents.
Yuuka: mine too.
Natsuki: Really? Most of your parents are around the same age?
Chikao: Why? How old are your parents?
Natsuki: My Mom is 39 years old and my Dad is just turned 40 three months ago.
Tohru: Nice. What about you Chi-chan?
Chikao: I rather not talk about my parents, besides I don't really know anything about them.
Tohru: it's alright Chi-chan, I'm pretty aware of your circumstances.
Chikao: you are?
Tohru: Kaneki-chan always talked about his friends for most of his life, of course he'd tell me everything about each and every one of you. Speaking of Kaneki-chan, you're all in love with him aren't you.
Steam~!
The faces of the Higanbana girls all went red as Tohru said that.
Sachi: H-How did you know?!
Yuuka: did you read our minds?!
Miku: AHHHHH!
Tohru: Hehe~ I knew it.
As the Higanbana girls were all flustered, Tohru was enjoyed watching their reactions.
Natsuki: H-How did you know?
Tohru: Oh when I possessed Kaneki-chan's body and saw all your faces. The faces you made were the same face I made when Atsuo almost died for me.
Miku: Wait Papa almost died?
Shino: Higanbana-san? Really?
Tohru: Yup, I won't go into complete details but many years ago when I was still active my parents and aunty got kidnapped by the Clad of Black Wings and we're used as batteries for a weapon. I tried to save them but I ended up getting defeated when the weapon was about to be fired at me-
Yuuka: A young boy with a Sentai mask came and pushed you away from the blast.
Tohru: That's right, heh looks like that event wasn't forgotten huh?
Yuuka: So that young man was..
Tohru: Yup Kaneki's father, Atsuo.
Natsuki: Amazing.
Tohru: I know right? Atsuo is such a cool guy. And we actually knew each other for a long time too.
Chikao: really?
Tohru: Yeah, we're childhood friends.
Shino: Really?
Tohru: Yup, Dear Atsuo would always say he would protect me when we were kids. But I'm the one who protected him the most hahahaha~
All 6: Eh?
Tohru: it was so funny seeing him picking fights with bullies, I got to admit he is quite brave for standing up to them. Haa~ so nostalgic. I hope he's doing well right now.
Miku: Um...
Tohru: you have something to say? Miku-chan?
Tohru couldn't help but ask if there was something wrong with Miku as her expression was worrying her.
Miku: How do you feel about... Papa being with my Mom.
Even though Miku was expecting a sad answer.
Tohru: a bit sad, but mostly grateful.
Natsuki: Grateful?
Miku: Really? Why?
Tohru: Well yes I was sad, but I was more worried about Atsuo and Kaneki-chan. Without me those two had been depressed but after I heard from Kaneki-chan about Atsuo getting remarried I was glad because he and Kaneki-chan would have a happy family again.
Miku: but that didn't stop him from.
Tohru: Yup... Sigh~ well then enough about me, and once more. Can you all tell me how you all met Kaneki-chan? Oh and Sachi-chan you don't need to tell me anything.
Tohru really wanted to know how the Higanbana girls met Kaneki.
And so they did.
Yuuka: Well...
Each one of them told Tohru how they met Kaneki, with only Yuuka and Shino altering their stories.
Shino: I haven't really interacted with Kaneki, but there was this one time I think two months ago where I lost my bracelet and after school Kaneki came to me and handed the bracelet before leaving.
Yuuka: me and Kaneki hadn't really interacted as well but we did got closer when we were hunting for the Crown of Urizen.
Tohru: I see, nice, quite nice. Now then the last one.
Natsuki: Me?
Tohru: yes, I think Kaneki-chan told me how you two met or I could be wrong. I don't really remember hehe~
Shino: Yeah, I did see you stalking Kaneki before you two actually became friends.
Yuuka: and Kaneki was seemed like he was trying to avoid someone a month ago.
Natsuki: Well hehe~ so.
Natsuki started to explain how she and Kaneki met.
Natsuki: well most of you already know how I didn't really have any friends right? Because of "that" guy?
Sachi: Trasheki? Yup.
Natsuki: all of you also already know about my ability to see the colors of a persons soul.
Tohru: Colors?
Natsuki: I'm sorry but I can't really explain my ability well but it simply helps me to see someones emotions, condition and character.
Tohru: I see, a useful but painful ability.
Natsuki: Mhmm, I never really tried to interact with anyone because of "that" guy. He would make rumors about me, yell at others for just looking at me and... You all get the point it was not easy.
Miku: I'm sorry you had to go through that
Natsuki: No need to apologize, well then. When I ended up in Mato High I thought I would be stuck with no friends forever. Until I saw Kaneki, he fought off bullies in school with no regard to himself at all. And what's more the colors of his soul was the most beautiful colors I've seen.
Tohru: That's my boy!
Natsuki: He even helped others like Itsuki-san and Keiko-san in their relationship.
Tohru: Oh? He helped make a couple?
Chikao: that's right, hmhe made those two confess to each other and now they're a couple.
Tohru: Hehe~
Natsuki: i couldn't ignore him, but I know I shouldn't do anything stupid because if I make the wrong move it would just cause trouble for Kaneki.
She explained the possibilities of Kaneki getting in trouble if she were to interact with him.
The possibility of him being harassed, bullied, expelled from school etc.
She then told them about her plan to interact with Kaneki without anyone seeing them.
By stealing his bag after school and hiding in the classroom closet.
Natsuki: and when he opened it and saw me, I jumped onto him and played my fingers on him and when I looked into his soul to make sure and when I saw his soul up close I knew he was special.
Tohru: EEEEEEK! This is so cute! A cute girl wanting to get close to my son is so cuteee!
Tohru was naturally thrilled hearing this story.
Natsuki: and after that he was scared of me and pretty much avoided me until I followed him home and he confronted me then we talked in a cat cafe and there we became friends.
Tohru: Hehe~ I loved hearing all of your stories, although there were definitely parts left out but that's alright.
Natsuki: you really enjoyed talking about Kaneki huh?
Tohru: Getting to know a bit more about Kaneki-chan by hearing how you girls met him is very enjoyable for me. Haa~ I'm so happy my son has made very good friends.
Natsuki: Thank you.
Chikao: we're honored.
Sachi: We should be thanking you for bringing Kaneki into this world.
Shino, Yuuka & Miku: ...
While Sachi, Natsuki and Chikao we're replying with happy faces, Shino, Yuuka and Miku were all filled with shame.
Tohru: anyways, let's do some love talk.
All 6: !!!
Tohru: so how far have you all went with Kaneki?
Yuuka: EEEEEH?!
Sachi, Shino, Miku, Chikao & Natsuki: What do you mean?
Most of the Higanbana girls were oblivious to what Tohru meant, besides Yuuka.
Tohru: wait how do you know what I meant?
Yuuka quickly explained before Tohru gets the wrong idea.
Yuuka: Keiko gave me a book that is uhh...
Tohru: oh I see, that's normal.
Yuuka: wait you-
Tohru: I was a teenager too kid, I've read my fair share of those kinds of books too. But please for the love of all that's holy do NOT show it to Kaneki-chan or your friends you're all not ready for that kind of stuff yet.
Yuuka: Yes ma'am!
Miku: I'm confused.
Natsuki: same here.
Tohru: you kids will know when the time has come, anyways I think we should talk another time.
Natsuki: really?
Tohru: Yeah, you all still have to get to Shimotsuki Stadium remember?
All 6: That's right!
Tohru: well then I'll put you all back in your bodies, let's all talk together another time.
Flash!
With a flash of light the Higanbana girls were sent back to their bodies.
Shino, Yuuka & Miku: huh?
Well half of them at least, Shino, Yuuka and Miku were left with Tohru.
Tohru: Now then, with the other girls out of the way. Let have a short chat.
Shino, Yuuka and Miku: ...
Tohru: You three already know what I'm going to talk about right?
With them now alone with Tohru, she was about to confront them.
Tohru: You three have hurt my baby, so you all have some explaining to do.
