September 1, 2042*
After the W.S.S.F a new day has arrived and the beginning of a new life for Kaneki Higanbana with the addition of one new family member.
That being his long lost A.I older sister, Kotori Ai Higanbana.
And with her now returning to his family.
Kaneki: Thanks everyone for coming to help, we really appreciate it.
A bedroom was now needed for her, so the rest of the Higanbana girls came surprisingly early in the morning in order to help them out.
Shino: No problem we're happy to help, besides Sachi here was the most excited about this.
Sachi: Of course I am! Ai-chan promised me we would stream together!
Kaneki: Of course.
Natsuki: I'm surprised you three got here early.
Shino: well my home is nearby, we're practically neighbors.
Yuuka: yeah and my home is kinda close too.
Chikao: anyways where's Kotori-san? I would've thought she would get involved.
Kaneki: Onee-chan is... She's still sleeping in my bed, she's very much tired after yesterday. As for Miku, she couldn't sleep until around 3:30 so she's gonna need a lot of rest.
Natsuki: Eh? Really? How come?
Kaneki: well...
Kaneki partially explained what had happened during the night.
Natsuki: Hehe~ why am I not surprised?
Yuuka: Speaking of which how come you didn't overslept?
Kaneki: Drugs and also I ate a huge breakfast so I'm pretty much filled with energy right now.
All 5: Oh... Okay?
Kaneki: Anyways let's get to cleaning Onee-chan's room shall we?!
All 5: Yeah!
Kaneki, Natsuki, Sachi, Shino, Yuuka and Chikao then went to the unused room to clean it up.
Natsuki: Woah...
Chikao: this is a lot more than I expected.
To their surprise the room was filled with so much cobwebs, dust and boxes.
Kaneki: Don't worry about the boxes I'll deal with them myself, you girls just prepare yourselves because once I get all the boxes out you all should start cleaning.
Shino: Got it.
Natsuki: Roger!
Kaneki: Alrighty then, let the cleaning begin!
And so they started to clean up the empty room.
30 minutes later~
Kaneki: Well done guys, this place is practically shining now.
After Kaneki had moved the boxes and sorted their contents. Sachi and Shino brushed off the cobwebs and dust on the walls and ceiling.
Natsuki, Chikao and Yuuka sweeped the floor clean and after all the dust were gone they mopped the floor.
Kaneki also used his powers to quickly dry the floor so they could apply floor wax, and once applied he once again used his powers to dry it up as well.
Yuuka: This room is looking very good already, although... It really needs some furniture.
Kaneki: Yeah, I hope Onee-chan wakes up soon so we could buy some furniture like a bed and stuff.
Kotori: Indeed this room is very empty, a big bed would be very nice right?
All 6: Yeah that would be- Kotori-san/Ai-chan/Onee-chan?!
To everyone's surprise Kotori had appeared behind them.
Kaneki: You're awake?! Wait we're we too noisy?
As Kaneki was getting worried that they had woken her up, Kotori immediately calmed him down.
Kotori: No no. I was awake before you guys had started, but I didn't want to disturb you all so I took some food and ate in Kaneki-chan's bed.
Kaneki: Eh?
Kotori: it's alright I made sure to not make a mess, thanks for the Breakfast Kaneki-chan. It was very good.
Kaneki: Good.
Kotori: Also thanks girls, I appreciate that you all came to help us out. Also I'm sorry for sleeping so late.
Sachi: No no. You don't need to apologize, you did do a lot of stuff yesterday so you are very tired.
Natsuki: Yeah plus you did saved Kaneki yesterday so think of this as us repaying you.
Shino: Yeah if you didn't bring Tohru-san to Kaneki who knows what might've happen.
Yuuka: Yeah seriously we can't thank you enough.
Chikao: we are eternally grateful.
Getting so much grateful thanks from Kaneki's friends made Kotori very happy.
Kotori: Hehe~ I'm being praisef by my brothers friends~
Sachi: Ai-chan looks so cute when she smiles.
Kotori: Well then with you guys now done cleaning, you all can go and relax. As for you Kaneki-chan, let's go to the department store
Kaneki: got it.
Natsuki: I'll come with you two, I do have some recommendations for what kinds of furniture you'll need.
Sachi: Same here! I know some very good computers that would help you for streaming.
Chikao: Can I come? No particular reason I just want to come with you guys.
Kotori: Sure, what do you say Kaneki-chan?
Kaneki: đ
Kotori: Alright then let's get going!
Kaneki: Shino, Yuuka watch over the house and Miku okay?
Yuuka: Yuu can count on us.
Shino: Did you just try to make a pun with your own name?
Yuuka: Hehe~ I always wanted to do that.
Shino: Well you heard her. We'll protect this place while you're all gone.
Kaneki: Okay then, alright let's get going.
Natsuki: Bye guys.
Sachi: we'll see you two later.
Kaneki: Oh yeah don't forget to tell Miku about breakfast okay?
Shino & Yuuka: we will.
Kaneki: Okay bye bye~
They then left leaving Shino and Yuuka in the house while they left to to the Depot store
Miku: Hey you two.
Shino & Yuuka: Miku? You were awake this whole time?
Miku: Yes... We have something important to discuss.
Meanwhile~
Kotori: So which Depot store should we go to?
Natsuki: there's one in the outskirts of Shimotsuki, when I was moving here it's where my parents got my current bed and it was so good at an affordable price too.
Sachi: Nice! We'll easily find good stuff for Ai-chan!
Kaneki: And once we get back we can prepare Onee-chan's bedroom before Papa and Aiya Mama return this evening.
Chikao: Let's throw a welcoming party as well.
Kotori: Oh stop you guys, there's no need for that.
Sachi: Of course we need to, you said you were apart from your family for so long. You returning is something worth celebrating.
Kaneki: I agree with Sachi.
Seeing that they were looking forward to the party, Kotori just caved in.
Kotori: Fine then, if that's what you kids want.
Sachi: Yatta!
After that they all headed straight to the Depot store.
Kaneki: Woah this place is huge.
Chikao: Yeah it'll take us a while to find what Kotori-san needs.
Natsuki: In that case why don't we do a competition?
Kotori: Competition?
Natsuki: Yes! And you'll be the judge, we'll find you with the stuff you'll need and you'll judge our suggestions. Whoever gets the most approvals from you wins.
Kotori: Sounds fun. I accept, I'll be a fair judge.
Kaneki: Count me out though, I'll monitor Onee-chan so she wouldn't get lost. You three can have fun though.
Chikao: Alright then shall we get started?
Sachi: 3!
Natsuki: 2!
Chikao: 1!
All 3: Go!
And so the three went off to find everything Kotori needed for her room.
"Kaneki-chan you wanted to talk right? That's why you didn't joined in"
But after they left Kaneki and Kotori started to communicate to each other telepathically.
"Yup. It's regarding thos three"
"What about them?"
"You've been watching us right? You definitely know the situation by now"
"Yes I do"
"Well you see, with Papa and Aiya Mama coming back it might be a problem."
"Oh yeah that's right, they know about their real identities and if we introduced them to Natsuki... Yeah I see the issue now"
"Yeah if they were to meet and tell Natsuki about Shino, Yuuka and Miku she might tell them of what they did. As much as I would like to tell the truth they aren't ready yet, and knowing Papa he would be very pissed and scary"
"Yeah that is a problem, but I can fix that"
"What? How?"
"I'll use hypnosis on them"
"Hyp- what now?"
"Hypnosis to put it simply it's type of mind control. You know like how you can control people with your tentacles?"
"I see but will that work? And how do you plan on doing that?"
"After we're done finishing my room, I'll go to our parents and stop time. After that I'll Demonize and use my wings"
"Your wings?"
"Yes. My wings can emit light which I can control, I'll be showing them a light show with my wings that will slowly hypnotize them."
"I'm confused"
"Well you'll just have to trust me Kaneki-chan, as for our Grandparents you don't need to worry about them"
"Wait our Grandparents?"
"Didn't I already told you they know about your situation?"
"I don't remember anything about you saying they about my situation"
"I'm pretty sure I did... Wait did i?"
"Well at least I know now, again?"
Kotori: Man out fight really took a toll on us huh?
Kaneki: Yeah haha~ well since those three are still finding stuff, I'm gonna go look for some ingredients.
Swoosh!
Kotori: Get in then!
Kotori suddenly had a big shopping cart with her.
Kaneki: A shopping cart? Hmm~ I wonder what it's like to ride on one of these?.
Kotori: I know right?! Get in and I'll push!
Clang!
Kaneki: Okay then just don't hit anybody.
Kotori: Roger!
With Kaneki getting on the shopping cart, Kotori smiled.
Kotori: Here we go!
Swoosh!
And she began to push Kaneki, bringing him to several aisle so he could check out ingredients for food they'll eat at her welcoming party.
30 minutes later~
Kotori: That's so much stuff Kaneki, you sure we'll be able to eat everything?
Kaneki: Yup and besides with Papa returning it's going to be a breeze.
Kotori: Haha~ like father like son.
Kaneki: By the way those three are sure taking their time huh?
Kotori: Yeah I haven't seen them during our rush, I hope they're okay.
Natsuki: Kaneki! Kotori-san?!
As Kaneki and Kotori were wondering where Natsuki, Sachi and Chikao went to Natsuki came running running to them clearly out of breath.
Natsuki: Haa~ Haa~ finally I found you two- Kaneki why are you riding that shopping cart?
Kaneki: It looked fun.
Natsuki: ... Anyways Kotori-san we found the stuff you are going to judge. But why did you moved?
Kotori: I wanted to help Kaneki-chan buy ingredients for our party so I accompanied him.
Natsuki: I-I see we should have thought, just a moment.
"I found them their at XXX"
Natsuki took out her phone and messaged Sachi and Chikao so they could meet up.
Natsuki: Now let's wait for Sachi and Chikao, once they get here you can start judging.
Kotori: Okay and I'm sorry for making you three find us.
Kaneki: Yeah we should've notified you.
Natsuki: it's alright.
After a while Sachi and Chikao was able to get to them and once they were together again.
They brought Kotori where their picks of furniture for Kotori to pick.
And first off was Natsuki.
Natsuki: Here's my pick.
She found a display of a set for bedrooms.
The Furnitures shown were a bed a computer desk, a mirror and small bed.
Natsuki: so what do you think?
Kotori: I don't really like it.
Natsuki: Eh?
Without a second thought Kotori told her she didn't like anything that was being displayed.
Kotori: For one that desk looks too big for me, and the mirror is too small I want to see my entire body when I use a mirror, and as for the bed it's too big and the mattress looks kinda small I probably won't feel comfortable if I played down on it.
Natsuki: But these were very nice...
Kaneki: Natsuki did you try to offer the same stuff you had in your room.
Natsuki: Hehe~
Chikao: Well it's my turn then!
Up next was Chikao.
Kaneki: ...
Kotori: ...
Natsuki & Sachi: ...
Chikao: So? What do you think?
All 4 of them were speechless upon seeing Chikao's suggestion.
Kaneki: Chi-chan... This is only a bed.
Chikao's suggestion was just one big bed.
Chikao: Yeah! It's big it can fit in your room and you can use your computer on it.
Kotori: Disapprove!
Without any hesitation Kotori rejected her suggestion.
Chikao: Ehh?! Why?...
And now only Sachi's suggestion remained.
Kaneki: I hope you found some decent stuff Sachi.
Kotori: Yeah it's not looking too good with the previous suggestions.
Sulk~
Kaneki: It's alright it's alright I'll treat you guys to some cake later.
Since the previous two suggestions were rejected it wasn't looking too good, but luckily the last one to suggest furniture for Kotori's room was her Number One Fan.
Sachi: So what do you think?
Sachi's suggestion was a medium sized bed with a Mattress that was as thick as Kaneki's Mattress, a Wardrobe big enough to fit many clothes in it, a full body mirror and a decently sized desk with drawers.
Kotori: Woah I actually like these ones they are decently sized, affordable and.
Bounce! Bounce!
Kotori: This Mattress is bouncy! I approve!
After looking and testing everything on display, Kotori liked Sachi's suggestion and approved of it.
10 minutes later*
After the competition, Sachi ended up as the winner and they bought everything that the display showed alongside some soundproofing.
Kaneki: Good job finding these stuff Sachi, what made you suggest these?
Sachi: Well since Ai-chan has a new body and she did bought a lot of clothes yesterday I thought she needed a Wardrobe and a full body Mirror. And with her sleeping in your bed I had to find one that was similar.
Kotori: And the desk was for easy management right?
Sachi: Yup.
Kaneki: Should I use Darkness Travel? I mean we wouldn't want to break these by accident.
All 4 : Yes please.
Kaneki: Okay then.
Splash!
Back at the Higanbana Residence*
Splash!
Shino: Oh their back.
Kaneki: We're back- Good morning Miku.
Miku: Woah you guys sure are early to buy supplies.
Kaneki: Yup anyways, I'll go finish up your room now Onee-chan.
And so Kaneki began to work on Kotori's room.
And very quickly.
Kaneki: Alright done.
He finished.
Kotori: Already?!
Kaneki: I used my powers to make it easier, go check out your room-
Swoosh!
Kotori rushed towards her room after Kaneki had finished.
Kotori: EEEEEEEK! MY VERY OWN ROOM!
And she was very satisfied.
Bounce! Bounce!
Sachi: She's really enjoying her new room.
Natsuki: So what do you think Kotori-san?
Kotori: I love it! Thank you all for helping out!
And so Kotori's room was now complete.
Shino & Yuuka's thoughts*
(Kaneki...)
With the two now learning that Kaneki knows about their plan, how will they apologize to him with Miku? And how long will it take?
