Chapter 2//

(This keeps popping up here for some reason. So please read this then go to chapter 3(which is above this along with chapter 4 and 5 for some reason))
"Kaneki, are you ok?!" The young girl asked her friend.


"I'm fine y/n! I just fell." The black hair, young boy tried to calm her down. "Y'know you worry too much." He laughed at his friend's worrisome manner.


"I don't worry too much! I just don't want you to get hurt. You could get seriously hurt one day!" She retorted, trying to talk some sense into her black haired friend.


"I understand, it's just that you're worrying way to much."


"Bestie-shut up and except my help." She spoke, pinching the bridge of her nose.


"Let's keep going idiot." He laughed and grabbed her hand, leading her away to their desired destination.


Hours later, they were sitting in the park. It was dark and the park was almost deserted, but the beautiful shiny stars that decorated the lovely night sky kept them company.


"Hey K?" Y/n turned to her friend who was looking through his phone.


"Yeah?" He looked up from his phone before turning it off.


"...When we get older.....Will you forget me? Or when you get a girlfriend, will you forget about me?" She asked.


"Y/n you idiot!" He laughed. "I'll never forget you. I mean, it's not exactly easy to forget your best friend. Why would you think that?!"


"Just got lost in my thoughts. And the idea popped up." She confessed.


"Don't think that I'd forget you that easily. You're forever engraved in my brain."


"Haha! Promise?" She chuckled at the choice of words used by her friend and then held up her pinkie, requesting for a promise to her. "Pinkie promise?"


"Ha, sure." He intertwined his pinkie finger with hers. "Pinkie promise."

"Liar." The girl whipped away tears as the memory of their time at the park occurred.

"You should be discharged. It's time to get you out of here. Who do you live with so we can give them a call?" Professor Kanou asked the boy, he was put in normal clothing, instead of the hospital gowns they'd make petients wear.


"I live alone...But." The boy thought about the woman who he would announce as aunt Maranda since childhood. She would always love to have him over, and help him in any case that seems to bother him. She had even instructed him to call on her whenever he would have trouble. "Could you please call Mrs. L/n? Her number is-" The boy gave the doctor Mrs. L/n's phone number, which she had him memories since childhood along with Y/n.


"Ok, go wait in the waiting room 'till she comes to pick you up." He spoke with the intimidating voice that would never fail to startle the young boy.


"Yes sir!" Her dashed out of the room and rushed to the waiting room where he saw other patients or friends and family members waiting to see A hospitalised patient.


He sat down at an empty seat and patiently waited for Mrs. L/n's arrival to the hospital.

No more than thirty minutes later, Mrs. L/n burst through the hospital doors. "Kaneki!"


"Aunt Maranda!" The boy caught her attention. She wasted no time in running to him and engulfing him in a tight embrace.


"You had me so worried Kaneki!" She spoke, ignoring the judge filled stares and whispers among the others in the waiting room.


"I'm sorry." He apologised.


"Don't be. But I'm glad you've regained your memory now, Y/n will be so happy!" She smiled.


'Y/n?' He thought but didn't have time to ask questions, for Mrs. L/n carefully pulled him up, avoiding any of his injuries and lead him to her car.


"You'll be staying with us for a while ok sweety?"


'Us?' He wondered. "Did Uncle James come back?" He asked.


"Oh no, it's just me and y/n." She replied. "Let's go now, y/n has been locked in her room ever since she came back from that visit. Thank goodness for the school holidays." She chuckled and started driving into the direction of her house. Kaneki laid his head on the car seat and shut his eyes for some rest. The ride back home took no more than about twenty-five minutes. "We're here. Wake up sweety." She gently shook the boy awake.


"Oh. Ok." She yawned before stepping outside of the car. Mrs. L/n lead him inside the house.


"Head over to the living room, I'll got get y/n." She walk off, into the direction on y/n's room.


Kaneki walked to the living room and looked around, everything was the same as he had remembered.


"Y/n?" Mrs. L/n knocked on Y/n's bedroom door, receiving nothing but silence from the other side of the door. "Y/n, please come out. Kaneki's here. He's ok." She received a sudden clicking sound and the door flew open, revealing a very puffy eyed y/n.


"R-really?" She asked, her slightly swollen lip quivering. She hopped that her mother was being serious and that this wasn't some sick joke being pulled on her.


"Yes dear!" The mother hugged her daughter. "He's back and he's ok." Y/n hugged back, happy to hear that this was actually taking place.


"Where is he?!" She excitedly asked but her excitement soon turned to panic. "And....Won't he panic when he sees me?"


"It's ok dear! He remembers. He remembers us again!" Her mother cheered happily. "He's in the living room.


Y/n wasted no time in running off into her living room. She saw a thick head of black hair. He was facing the wall, staring at the panting hung onto it. "Kaneki!" Immediately she ran up to him and engulfing him in a tight embrace. "I missed you!"


"G-get away from me!" He pushed her away roughly, he stared shocked at her. How had the girl who claimed to know him in the hospital end up here? "What are you doing here? Did you break in?!" He interrogated.


"Kaneki please! Snap out of it please!" She pleaded.


"Y/n? What's going on?" Her mother's voice rang through her ears.


"Aunt Maranda!" Kaneki called and ran up to hide behind her. "Aunt Maranda, it's an intruder!" He glared at the girl standing before him with wide eyes, which contained hurt in them.


"Mom!" Her eyes glossed over as she looked to her mother. She took a glance at the boy who was still glaring at her and ran to her room.


"Kaneki, what's the matter? Do you not remember Y/n anymore?" She asked once she turned to face him.


"Aunt Maranda! I've never heard of a Y/n." He responded, so fused as to why Mrs. L/n would allow a stranger to live in her house.


"Sweety, that's my daughter. You've know her since you were still little kids. You've been best friends for so long. Don't tell me you forgot." She frowned her eyebrows, and a small from dropped on her lips.


"I'm sorry Aunt Maranda but I really don't remember meeting her, let alone being best friends with her." He explained, looking off into the distance as he tried to remember anything about Y/n, but nothing came up. No memories of you came to mind.


"Oh dear. This is quite the dilemma indeed." The woman admitted. "Why don't you get some time alone with y/n. To get to know her?" She suggested.


The boy looked quite hesitant but soon agreed in order to please Mrs. L/n. "I'll do it."


"Good boy." She ruffled his head. "I'll lead you to her room. Then I'll be off. I've gotta get some more flower seeds for my garden." She explained. Her garden has grown over the time. It had turned from a simple flower pot on the windowsill, to a large greenhouse just behind the mansion.


"Ok." Kaneki was then lead to the room that Mrs. L/n had fetched y/n from.


"Good luck ok? I'll see you soon." She gave him a forehead kiss and left the house.


Kaneki looked at the door, which on the other side was a (hair colour) hair and (eye colour) eyes. He took a deep breath before slowly opening the door.


"Get out mom." The girl's voice echoed.


"Y/n?" He called.


"Kaneki?" She looked up and indeed saw the familiar black haired boy. She tried to keep a distance from him, trying not to alarm him. Though it hurt for her to have a best friend back without all the memories they've made. Tears were slowly pouring done her face but she would wipe them away instantly.


"Uhm..."


Also, I'd like to clarify that Y/n's mother is NOT actually Kaneki's aunt. I just made him call her 'aunt Maranda' since they consider each other family and have know each other since Kaneki was still young.
