Kaneki & Natsuki: Slurp~! Mmmh! Soo~ good!
After playing with the kids Kaneki sometimes visits at the park, Natsuki and Kaneki continued their date at a Ramen Shop.
Kaneki: Hey Natsuki doesn't it feel like there's a lot of eyes staring at us?
Although the two were happily eating, some customers and passersby were staring at them, or more accurately at Kaneki.
Natsuki: Yup and the reason is quite obvious.
Kaneki: ... Me? Seriously?
Natsuki: Of course! Your identity as the Hero of Hell and Atlantis was revealed and the secret of you being a Demon Knight as well.
Kaneki: Yeah... Man I wish people would just stop staring though, it makes me so uncomfortable.
Natsuki: Oh yeah you had stage fright back in the W.S.S.F.
Kaneki: Don't remind me of that!!!
Natsuki: Hehe~
Kaneki: Slurp~ Ahem. On another topic, once we're done visiting Akuma Castle what should we do?
Natsuki: Hmm~ Since the movies are out of the question... I know! Let's go to a Karaoke box! You do love singing after all.
Kaneki: Woohoo! Although I only know Tokusatsu songs and a few of Onee-chan's songs.
Natsuki: I'm pretty sure Project Kizuna might have some songs in there too.
Kaneki: Really? I'm not really sure if we allowed out songs to be distributed though.
Natsuki: We'll find out later. Slurp~
Kaneki: Yeah. But we'll have to go to Akuma Castle first.
Natsuki: Yeah! Let's hurry then! Slurp~!
Natsuki began quickly consuming her bowl of ramen.
Kaneki: Heh! You can't beat this glutton! Slurp~!
Kaneki followed her lead and began eating fast as well.
A little while later~
They eventually finished their food and left the ramen shop with their belly's full.
And were now ready to head to Akuma Castle.
Kaneki: Alright so do you still want to ride me as Omegasaurus?
Natsuki: Yup! But please don't go too fast, I don't want to throw up.
Kaneki: Okay!
Hop!
Boom!
Now that he made sure that Natsuki was still okay with her riding his back, he turned into his Omegasaurus form.
Hethen lowered his huge body so Natsuki could ride.
Kaneki: Alright get on.
Natsuki: Thanks!
Grip!
Natsuki grabbed onto his Osteoderms and used them to climb up his back.
Natsuki: Alright! I'm here!
She then positioned herself by his nape, and for extra safety Kaneki grew out two boney tentacles for Natsuki to grab onto.
Creak~
Natsuki: Hmm? What are these?
Kaneki: Bone tentacles, hold onto them so you wouldn't go flying.
Natsuki: I see, you should probably even wrap my legs for another safe measure as well.
Kaneki: Oh you're right.
Following her suggestion, Kaneki grew two more bone tentacles that wrapped Natsuki's legs and secured them in place.
Creak~
Wriggle~
Natsuki: !!! Hey my feet are ticklish!
Kaneki: S-Sorry. Well it's down now.
With her safety now secured, the two then started heading to Akuma Castle.
Kaneki: I'll make this ride as smooth as possible! Alright!
Thud!
Natsuki: Woah!
Kaneki: Let's go!
Swoosh!
Kaneki then began running to Akuma Castle very fast, but not too fast so Natsuki could keep her lunch.
He also made sure to not hit anyone while he ran.
20 minutes later~
After navigating through the city and suburbs of Shimotsuki, Kaneki and Natsuki had reached the outskirts and also.
Natsuki: There it is!
Kaneki: Akuma Castle!
Akuma Castle.
It stood alone in the middle of a field completely unbothered.
Natsuki: Okay Kaneki, you can undo your transformation now.
Kaneki: Okay.
Poof!
Natsuki: Woah!
Catch!
As Kaneki undid his transformation, Natsuki started to fall but luckily Kaneki was underneath her.
Natsuki: A-Ahhh....
And caught her in his arms in a princess carry which made Natsuki flustered.
Kaneki: Wait why is your face red? Wait is this something that would make girls flustered?
Natsuki: Y-Yes... You're carrying me like a princess.
Kaneki: Really? I don't really understand it, but do you like it?
Natsuki: Yeah...
Hop!
Natsuki hopped off Kaneki's arms and they both headed to Akuma Castle's doors, and upon reaching them they were greeted by Akuma Castle.
"Pleasure to see you again Kaneki-Sama and Milady."
Natsuki: Woah! It actually spoke!
Kaneki: Hey Akuma Castle! First of all please drop the "sama" and formal part when you're addressing us?
"I apologize but I have to decline as that is what I prefer to call my lord and his friends"
Kaneki was a bit irritated but since there was probably no way to convince Akuma Castle, he didn't forced it.
He then started to apologize to Akuma Castle.
Kaneki: Okay I guess... And second of all, I am very sorry for not visiting you since we first met.
"There's nothing to apologize for Kaneki-sama"
Kaneki: But you must've been lonely right?
Natsuki happily watched as Kaneki talked to Akuma Castle and expressing his concern for it.
"You don't have anything to worry about that Kaneki-sama, the Beast Knights would regularly visit from time to time so I was never truly alone"
Kaneki: Really? Ku-Kun and the others would visit?
"Affirmative. Speaking of the Beast Knights they are currently residing inside"
Natsuki: Wait really?!
"Affirmative. They had shrunk to an optimal size to fit inside, do you two wish to come in?"
Both Kaneki and Natsuki were surprised to learn that their friends the Beast Knights were currently in Akuma Castle.
After a few seconds the two immediately accepted Akuma Castle's invitation.
Kaneki & Natsuki: Sure!
Creak~!
As the huge doors into Akuma Castle began to open, they were greeted by Akuma Castle's hologram avatar, but compared to when it first version.
Natsuki: Wait is that a maid?
Kaneki: Eh?
The avatar was now that of a beautiful yet short victorian maid.
Kaneki: Wait why is your avatar a maid?
"I've gained access to the internet and I've discovered this is the most appropriate uniform of a servant, so as your servant I figured this would be the most appropriate way to present myself in front of my lord."
Kaneki made an awkward smile as he found it kinda embarrassing that Akuma Castle did all that to serve him as his servant.
But as for Natsuki.
Natsuki: Woah~! Kaneki you now have a maid!
She was quite excited that Kaneki now has a maid.
Kaneki: Natsuki, Akuma Castle's hologram avatar can't leave Akuma Castle so she can't be my maid. Also why are you so excited over a maid? We've been to the Shirogane household and even walked with their maids a few days ago, yet you never had this much excitement for them.
Natsuki: Hehe~
With Kaneki pointing out her lack of excitement regarding the Shirogane family's maids, Natsuki told him in complete honesty.
Natsuki: Well... They didn't look as cute!
And embarrassment that they weren't what she expected.
Kaneki: Huh?
Natsuki: The maids I've seen in many of the manga's I read were all so cute!!! But the ones in your cousin's family were nothing like I expected!
Kaneki: What... What kind of manga's do you even read? Huh?
Kaneki was very confused by Natsuki's explanation.
Natsuki: Blush~! I can't believe I've said something so embarrassing to Kaneki...
Natsuki was so embarrassed for that she turned her gaze away from Kaneki.
The atmosphere turned awkward as the two went silent until Akuma Castle broke it.
"Looks like my lord and his bride are getting along really well"
Kaneki & Natsuki: Huh?!
"Am I wrong? It may not look like it, but it's quite obvious you two have feelings for each other"
Natsuki: Eh???
Kaneki: Seriously?
Both Kaneki and Natsuki covered their flustered faces after hearing Akuma Castle's words.
"Any how, please follow my avatar to the throne room where the Beast Knights are currently residing"
Kaneki: Y-Yeah we should go.
Natsuki: Yeah... Let's go.
The two then entered Akuma and followed it's maid avatar.
Natsuki's thoughts*
(She called me Kaneki's bride!!!)
But as they walked to the throne room, Natsuki was now imagining herself in a wedding dress and getting married to Kaneki alongside the Higanbana girls.
(Hehe~ Kaneki looks so handsome in a tuxedo, and everyone looks so cute in their wedding dress as well.)
Natsuki: Hehe~
Kaneki: Natsuki are you imagining us getting married?
Natsuki: Eh?! Was it obviousl?!?!
Kaneki: Yeah. You were giggling not too long after Akuma Castle called you my bride.
Natsuki: Blush~ I'm so embarrassed.
Kaneki: It's alright, it's alright.
Natsuki: Wait you know what a bride is?
Kaneki: I've been to a wedding before, of course I'd know what a bride is. Also I've seen weddings in some Tokusatsu's I know.
Natsuki: Of course it's from Tokusatsu haha~
Kaneki smiled now that he and Natsuki can now talk to each other after being awkward just moments ago.
Kaneki: By the way, Akuma Castle should be given a proper name.
Natsuki: Really? Why do you think so?
Kaneki: Well since she is a sentient, I think it would be better to give her a name.
Natsuki: Hmm~ Yeah giving her an actual name does sound good, hey Akuma Castle do you want an actual name?
"I'll accept any name given to me"
Kaneki: Nice! In that case.... Hmm... Actually I can't think of any name.
Natsuki: What about Kagemi?
Kaneki: Kamegi... Yeah that actually sounds like a good name. What do you think?
Kaneki faced the avatar and waited for her response.
Kagemi: Kamegi... I'll wear this name proudly.
And she accepted her name.
Kaneki: Nice! Good thinking Natsuki!
Natsuki: Hehe~ Thanks!
Kagemi: We're now approaching the throne room.
Kaneki: Oh nice.
Creak~
After arriving at the throne room door, it began to open.
Buzz~!
Hop!
Ku-Kun & Batta: Kanekiiii!
Thwack!
Kaneki: Argh!
Thud!
Immediately after fully opening, Ku-Kun and Batta had flew/jumped straight towards Kaneki and knocking him down.
Natsuki: Kaneki?!
Kaneki: I'm alright! Hey Ku-Kun, Batta.
Batta: Hey Kaneki, how're you doing?
Kaneki: Doing well, on an outing with Natsuki.
Ku-Kun: Really? Oh hello Natsuki!
Ku-Kun waved at Natsuki with his little front legs, and Natsuki waved back.
Natsuki: Hello Ku-Kun.
Buzz~
Very soon the other Beast Knights came to greet them.
All Beast Knights: Hello Kaneki/Young Kaneki!
Kaneki: Hey everyone, what are you all doing here anyways?
Heikei: We were discussing about how we should combine with you.
Mo-chan: That's right, last time was a huge mess.
Miracle & Yanma: So we came here to talk about it with Akuma Castle.
Kagemi: My name is now Kagemi.
Takoyaki: Kagemi? You two gave her a name huh? A very good one that.
Dagon: As expected of Natsuki.
Natsuki: How did you know I was the one who suggested it?
Kamakura: We were actually watching you two when you arrived, as expected of one of Kaneki's brides.
Natsuki: Hehe~
Kaneki: Haha~ real funny Kamakura.
Thud!
As they were talking, one of the three Ancient Beast Knights, Hegon had came up to Kaneki and whispered in his ear.
Hegon: They are ready~
Kaneki made a satisfied smile after hearing this.
Kaneki: Good.
Glance~
Natsuki: Hmm?
While he was satisfied, Natsuki who glanced at him had a surprised expression on her face.
(Kaneki?)
She didn't know why but she felt like Kaneki was hiding something from her.
Natsuki: Hey Ka-
Kaigon: So do you two want to join us on discussing the design of our fusion with you? Young Kaneki?
Kaneki: Sure!
She was cut off by Kaigon, and Kaneki joined them in their discussion.
(I'll just ask him later)
But seeing that it wasn't the right time, she decided to ask once they were done.
Natsuki: Hey can I join too?
So she decided to join in as well.
A few hours later~
After a few hours of discussing and simulating the new design, Kaneki and Natsuki had left Akuma Castle. Using darkness travel to get back to Shimotsuki.
Kaneki: Haa~! Man that took so long!
Natsuki: Yeah but at least we made a new formation and design for your Omega Knight-Oh form.
Kaneki: Yeah. And I have to admit you are kinda good with designing Natsuki. You'd make a good designer.
Natsuki: C'mon Kaneki that's a bit of an exaggeration.
Kaneki: No seriously, compared to the original forms we took the one you helped with looks a lot cooler.
Natsuki: Hehe~ Thank you.
Natsuki felt very proud as Kaneki praised her.
Kaneki: Your welcome, so what now? Wanna hit the arcade?
Natsuki: Nah I think I've had enough for today, it was seriously exhausting making your new form.
Kaneki: Oh really? Hehe~ sorry.
Natsuki: It's alright, spending time with you was so much fun.
Natsuki smiled as she told Kaneki spending time with him was so much fun.
Kaneki: Hehe~ Same here.
Kaneki smiled and said the same to her.
Natsuki: Well then since we have nothing else to do anymore, it's alright if I went home right?
Kaneki: Yeah. But we can always go out another time, maybe next time we can go to a theme park.
Natsuki: Yeah! Why didn't we think about that?! That would have been a better first stop!
Kaneki: Hehe~ Yeah.
Natsuki well then I'll be going home now.
Natsuki turned around as she was ready to leave.
Kaneki: Okay then, see you tomorrow at school Natsuki.
Kaneki said his goodbye's to Natsuki still having a smile on his face.
But Natsuki didn't leave.
Natsuki: Kaneki... You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
Kaneki: Huh?
She turned back at Kaneki, staring directly into his eyes.
Kaneki: W-What are you talking about?
Natsuki: Don't act dumb, I saw Hegon-sanwhisper something in your ear earlier.
Kaneki's thoughts*
(Oh crap she saw that?!?!)
Natsuki: Hey Kaneki, you can't lie to me so tell me what exactly did he tell you?
Because of their contract, was forced to tell the truth.
Kaneki: S-Shino, Yuuka and Miku... Are ready...
(Craaaaap! This is bad! If this continues I will have to reveal their identities!)
Kaneki panicked inside thinking that he might end up revealing their identities too early.
Natsuki: Oh really?! Thank goodness! I thought it was something serious?
(Huh?)
But Natsuki completely misunderstood.
Natsuki: So they told Hegon that they're ready to accept your feelings? That's great!
She thought he meant that Shino, Yuuka and Miku were ready to accept hjs feelings.
Natsuki: Well that was reassuring! I thought it was something serious, but I guess I got worried for nothing! Well then see you tomorrow at school Kaneki!
Swoosh!
Natsuki then ran off home leaving Kaneki behind without him explaining everything.
Kaneki: Phew~ She left before I got to talk more. That was so close.
Kaneki was relieved that Natsuki misunderstood, if not he would've revealed their real identities.
Kaneki: I can't tell her their real identities, not yet. Once Shino, Yuuka and Miku apologizes then I can tell her.
After saying this to himself, he started heading home.
(I hope you guys really are ready.)
