SINCE I MEET YOU

DATE

"How long have you known Takatsuki-sen?"

-Ore?... etto... a couple of years, when I started reading his works everything took an unexpected turn, I only have a few books in my apartment... do you live alone?
-h-hai...I don't like companies very much, I feel more freedom that way.
-what about your family?
-You know I like to be independent, onnii-chan are busy with their work somewhere and...I don't want to interfere.
-...yamette (stop).
-nani? (pulled my hand) hey...
He covered my mouth-shhh...
I muttered-nani?
-... (she released me, sighed) she was close,we must hurry.

"What's going on Kaneki?"

-...nanimo(nothing)...why don't you want to interfere with your brothers?
Confused-etto...ore...I had bad experiences is all.
-as which?
-...they have made lives,once...etto..(annoyed) agh I said that I no longer wanted to remember;We're close,it's this way.
-and what do you do?
-ore wa...study, just that.

"How can you get your food then?"

-...ottoo-san and onnii-chan from time to time send me money,at least enough.
-ahhh...they appreciate you a lot then.
-h... hai, demo, I feel that sometimes I'm a nuisance for them, that's why I moved, if I stayed there it would only prevent them from carrying out their plans, onnee-chan told me that they were looking for another child... I'd be glad to know they get what they want
-ah...it's nice to have a family like yours, or so it seems from the way you talk about them,(laughs) except for onnii-chan.
I laughed-...hai...they are,my life and...if I manage to form one of my own, I would like it to be with someone special.
-nande?
I nodded-hmm, I see myself in the future with someone who...(my head shook) agh.*get out of there, who are you?*

"d...daijoubu?"

-h...ha...n-it's nothing; as I was saying, I see my husband and father of my children... as ottoô-san, responsible,honest, respectful, loving...that he is a great father,husband and...lover.
Surprised-oh...lover?
-hai...(I looked at him) huh?! Gomenne,I didn't want to sound so... etto...
Laughed-shinpai shinaide (don't worry), it's supposed that... a husband's duty is...to please his wife.
-h-hai...well, that's enough to talk about me,etto...and...y-you have a girlfriend?
-Iie, I also live alone.
-demo,that girl... the one from Anteiku...
- "Touka-chan"? She's just a friend, there's nothing between us and I haven't seen her with another boy either.

"...do you think she's...?"

-ore wa shiranai,demo,I would start to get suspicious.
I laughed-there's Kaneki, if you try to find out,I don't think I'll make it so easy for you.
-I know,she's very intense,demo...she might be worried about onnii-chan too.
-Do you have brothers?

"Hai,just one,demo...if she cares."

-What's her name?
-Ayato,Kirishima-Ayato.
-"Ayato-kun"...and what about him?

I can't say much.

"Then how do you know about him?"

-It was an accident, I saw his name in Touka-chan's bedroom when he lived in Anteiku...later I met him,demo,it wasn't in a nice way.

"Ah... Hinami-chan,doko desu ka? (Where is she),I didn't see her in the cafe."

-Etto... she must be in her bedroom,there aren't many places where she can be alone.

"Does his parents know about him?"

-this...

* she has no parents *serious-gomenne,I didn't know.

-shinpai shinaide...she doesn't like talking about them at all.
-What happened to you?
-etto...they killed them.
-who,Why?
-etto... do you live around here?
-Oh,hai,this is the building and...my apartment is on the 5th floor,demo,you were telling me about Hinami-chan to... ryôshin (her parents) (I touched my chin) what do you think? I offer you something? And...so we continue with this. (I smiled)
Impressed-that...
I reacted-to,I mean,w-with the conversation,maybe...with a coffee or something...
He smiled-hai,you know,you look kawaii (adorable) when you blush.

FLASHBACK.

onnee-chan, you're really kawaii...i'll miss you.

You must leave?

It won't be for long, demo, when I get back we'll get married, I promise I'll leave her to marry you.

In that case, I'll wait for you.

She closes her eyes, when you open them it will be as if you had never seen me, and when you grow up repeat the same thing, then we will already be married as if you were dreaming.

Hai, sayonara.
E

ND FLASHBACK.

Distraught-onnii-chan.
-etto,daijôubu?
I shook my head-hai,arukku.

Entering the building everyone looked at me strange,perhaps because it was the first time I had entered accompanied by a boy;I ignored them continuing on my way,arriving at my apartment I started to heat the water for the coffee since once again it was the only thing he asked for Meanwhile,I went back to the living room,I saw him very attentive to every corner,even though he didn't have much of a thing,he liked the decoration.

-you like them?
-oh,hai...you have nice paintings,demo,no photos,nande?
-I decided to leave all of them at okaâ-san's and ottoô-san's house,so they have something to remember me with;in the same way I have one of them with onnee-chan in the bedroom.

"Don't you think it's better that you go back with them? These streets are too dangerous for you to walk around alone."

-If you say it because of the ghouls,I'm not afraid of them, besides,I know that if I don't mess with them I won't take any risk.
-Even though that's true,I don't recommend going out alone.
-Not even my parents took care of me that much when I was a child,it's okay Kaneki,I'll be careful...do you think the ghouls have killed...?,I mean...
-Iie...I was present when Ryôko-san was killed demo,I don't know what happened to Asaki-san.

"Then you know who killed her."

-Something like that,do you have other plans for the future?

"...just get married,maybe get a job, have a family,that's all,of course after finishing school."

-What do you want to work on?
-Yes,my husband lets me...maybe Criminology,deductive analysis...but,I just want to help him,he doesn't care what he does.

"Hmm,the man who marries you will be very lucky."

I whispered-how lucky was onnii-chan.
-nande? (what)
-Oh,nanimo,you're right,it would be a great fortune for both of us...and for our children.
-Do you want to have children then?
-hai,I don't want such a large family either,with two I'm happy.*Do ghouls have families,what will happen to a ghoul and a human...or half-breeds?*
-two kids.
-hmm,or girls,whatever kamiisama (god) sends me,I am willing to sacrifice my self if necessary.
-You will be an exemplary mother.
-So you think?
-hmm...just enough to hear how you express your self so well about your whole family and your plans for the future.
