Chapter one:
A young man with bright blue eyes and black hair looked out over Japan from an airport window. He took a deep breath and sighed,
"Man, I haven't been in here since I was little."
He picked up his bag from the ground began to look around. He spent five minutes looking around before spotting his aunt and cousin standing by a pillar. He shouted out a greeting and made his way over to them.
"Hey Dai! It's been a while." His cousin hollered back waking.
They hugged and made their way out of the airport and to their car. They drove out in the country to a small town where Ryou and his mother lived. They had moved there about a month after Ken's death. The clean, fresh air felt good on Daichi's face when he stepped out of the car.
Ryou swiped Daichi's bag out of his hand. "There isn't much out here. There is a cafe that recently opened up though and it's great. Aw man I'm so happy you are here."
Daichi was lead into the house and to the room he would be using while he stayed there. Ryou set the bag down and left to room so Daichi could unpack. When he finished he sat on his bed and began to think about his reason for coming to Japan. His thought were interrupted by the ringing of a phone. Daichi grabbed his phone off the table. It was his old friend Yui who was calling, she had heard of Daichi's return and eagerly awaited his arrival. She lived in the same town as his aunt and couldn't wait to see childhood friend again.
"Hey Dai, I'm so glad your back! We need to meet up. How about that cafe that just opened up? We have a lot of catching up to do. I'll meet you there in an hour." Before Daichi could even reply she hung up the phone.
'Well, I guess I'm going to the cafe' he thought as he grabbed his coat and left the house.
...
Daichi got the the cafe and looked up at the sign that read "Anteiku". It was a little cafe that seemed rather formal. He walked in and sat down and was approached by a girl with short brown hair with a ribbon in it to one side.
"Welcome, what can I get you." She sounded shy at first.
Daichi ordered a tea and when she brought it back she spoke again.
"I don't think I've seen you around town, I'm Hinami."Her voice was soft.
"I just moved here actually. I'm Kaneki Daichi."
As soon as she heard the name Kaneki, she froze.
"You wouldn't happen to be related to Kaneki Ken would you?" Her voice was trembling, as if she wanted to cry.
"Ya, I am" he looked down at the tea in his hands, "He is...um...I mean was my brother."
Hinami I looked at him with sad eyes. She could help it, 'he is his brother' she thought as she stared at him. Now that she really looked at him, she could see the resemblance. She walked over to the counter rubbing her eyes. All the workers were now looking over at Daichi. They all knew ken and they couldn't help but all become gloomy at the sound of his name.
When Yui arrived she ran straight over to Daichi and gave him the biggest hug she could muster.
"I'm sorry about what happened to Ken. I can't believe he is gone." Yui didn't know him well, but she used to see him around when she went to the city.
"It's alright. I just wish I could have gotten to know him better. I mean, we were separated when we we little and I barely saw him. The last time I saw him was at our mother's funeral." Daichi was staring out the window.
He never really knew his brother. His brother was the older of the two of them. They were twins, a rare thing in their family. Their grandmother had taken Daichi when he was three, separating him from brother and mother. He grew up with his grandmother and when he had turned twelve, they moved to America. Although Ken and Daichi looked alike when they were young, they were very different personality wise and didn't always see eye to eye. Daichi was outgoing and loved to be outside and play sports. It wasn't until he was ten that he got glasses. By sixteen Daichi was a black belt in karate and tae-kwon do and had changed his hair to be different from what he had seen of his brother in pictures. He grew his hair and and started to like different from his nearly identical twin. He always wanted to see his brother and catch up with him but was too far away to see him. He would try to call him but he would rarely pick up the phone. It wasn't long before he stopped answering completely. It was two years ago that he got a call from his aunt. He just started his new job and was exited about the call until she told him about his brother's death. Apparently he had gone missing and they believed he was killed by ghouls. Daichi was devastated he had fainted after hearing the news. It was not long after that that he started saving up to go back to Japan to visit his brothers grave.
The workers at Anteiku listened intently to Daichi's as he spoke with Yui and when they were finished with their catching up Yui left. It wasn't long after Yui left, that Daichi was approached by a girl with long black hair with bangs to one side.
"So you are Kaneki's brother." Her voice was cold but tears welled up in her eyes. "He used to work with us when our cafe was in the city, he was great." A tear rolled down her cheek. "My name is Touka." Her voice shook as she spoke.
Daichi stood up and hugged her. It wasn't long after that that Hinami could be heard crying in the back. Although he didn't know why, Daichi felt a tug at his heart when he went over to give Hinami a hug. He listened to them speak about Kaneki's time at the shop before he said his good byes and started home.
"He smelt just like big brother." Hinami rubbed the tears from her eyes
