Kiyoshi Kaneki was living his best life....or so he thought.
Everything changes when his brother gets into an accident. He life is soon engulfed in the world of ghouls...but that's not even the worse.
He's only Ken's half-brother.
And he's not even...
When I wake up, everything was fuzzy, nothing really jotting the memories of the night before. I slowly realize that I'm under a comforter. My head slowly moves to notice the surrounding walls. I'm in my room? I slowly sit up. I look down seeing I'm in a strange shirt...wait, no. It's not strange, it's just not mine. It's Nishiki's.
I slowly start to sit up but wince for a moment. A pain shoots through my body. I slowly move back on to my side curling up. I look over at me side to see a glass of water and a few pills on my night stand.
I slowly move towards them and slowly took the pills, drowning them down with the water. I lay down for a moment before I get up. Kids. I have to check up on my kid. I move towards the twins room looking but not seeing them. My chest starts racing so fast that it causes my chest to hurt. Quickly, I race to my son's room and see the crib empty.
My hands start shaking as I race back to my room. I scram to find my phone so that I can call someone, anyone. By the time I find my phone, it rings. Nishiki. I answer the phone call, my breathing shaky.
"Kiyoshi, what's wrong?" He ask.
"No-nothing's wrong Nish-Nishiki," I stutter.
"You can be honest with me," the voice sounds through the phone.
"I....,"my voice cracks as I choke out a sob, "Kou....the twins....gone," I manage to let the words leave my trembling lips.
"Kiyo, calm down. They're with Kimi, remember?" Nishiki says with a calming tone.
"Kimi?" My friend's name leaves my voice.
"Yeah," Nishiki says. "Hey, they're okay. Calm down and relax."
Somehow, I listen to what he was saying. I start taking deep breathes. I start to slowly wipe the tears away off my face.
"There you go," Nishiki says. "Just get some sleep. You must be really tired," he adds.
"But-"
"No buts! Just rest well and I'll make sure the kids get home safe and sound, I promise." My body relaxes at that, but he promised....something he only does when he means it.
"Alright," I sigh. I heard a faint snicker in the background. "Hey! No laughing!" I say as my lips poke out.
"Sorry, Kiyoshi," the ghoul replies.
"It's alright," I say with my lips still poking out.
"I'll see you later, okay," he says.
"See you," I mutter back. The phone line then goes dead with the end of the call.
I slowly lean my head forward and feel the exhaustion hitting me like a truck. Not only was there exhaustion, but I was little sore in weird places. I manage to crawl back into my bed and curl up under the covers. Before long, I feel weightless and free.
**********
Sun shining through my curtains is what wakes me from my sleep. I slowly sit up and feel refresh and completely awaken. I pull the covers off of my body before I decided to go and get dress.
