AruxYuki=KennyxHide or TsukiyamaxKenny? Kaneki has the appearance down ghoul wise but Ken would have Yuki's expression if Tsukiyama were to force a kiss out of nowhere like Aru
Imma walk away now...
CCG headquarters...
"Who is this guy?" wonders Shinohara raising an eyebrow.
"This is the human male that had the white head until a little while ago." says Juuzou grinning.
"Amon told us Hide was keeping an eye on the white haired ghoul." says Shinohara confused.
"That is true. The white haired teen this man and his girlfriend that confuses marriage and merely being lovers took off forcing Hide away from the parents. So, I have been keeping an eye on them." says Juuzou.
"My girlfriend seems to believe your crazed son and the teen we took in are brothers. Not literal brothers as in blood related but if you put them side by side, you'd think half brothers at best." says Yuki hesitantly.
"It wouldn't be to farfetched for humans to go mad when living around ghouls but in your case-"
"Yuno has had a rough childhood with only me to lean on. You can call it deranged pity on the ghoul but we know more about him than you and your goons will ever know if you were to keep Hide from him." says Yuki trying to sound sincere despite the fidgety voice.
"Goons? We arent the villains in this scenario. And what do you mean by if we were to keep Hide from the ghoul?" says Shinohara.
"What's a good way to put it without murdering brain cells?" wonders Yuki pondering.
"Hide's best friend was assumed butchered by the female ghoul. After a year of drifting from happy go lucky at the start to doom and gloom praying for a way to see his only best bud again...- You already know how crazy my mind gets when cluing things together so this shouldn't hurt your brain anymore than it already has when hearing me out." says Juuzou.
"How am I supposed to react if I don't know what you are telling me?" wonders Shinohara.
"More or less speaking, Hide feels like he partially belongs in this world now that Ken hasn't been proven dead or alive by the paramedics and you guys. The ones who are supposed to be geniuses at ghoul murders." says Yuki.
"There hasn't been any proof the college student Ken Kaneki has been in public." says Shinohara.
"Hear us out. I don't know if this makes sense to you or not so bear with our reasoning." says Yuki.
"I'm listening." says Shinohara.
"Lets say, Hide seemed fine the first few months after Ken's supposed demise. Ok? After the first 3 or 4 months, Hide started getting worried but didnt want to show it around you guys. During those months and possibly the next few months at most, Hide has been mentally scarring himself over trying to figure out why things had to end up this way as you all know by now. Atleast the most of you that actually notice Hide going about this place." says Yuki.
"I'm following." says Shinohara nodding.
Yuki sighs before focusing his sights back on Shinohara.
"Silly as it sounds, Hide unconsciously has probably been praying to whoever the god of this world is to bring back Ken Kaneki." says Yuki.
"Yeah?" wonders Shinohara.
"Said Ken Kaneki you remember to be dead due to no body at the site...the gods that formed this world didnt exactly hear his pleas yet did at the same time. Ken and Hide wanted the same thing resulting in me and Yuno appearing in this world with another version of Kaneki you guys are currently suspicious of. The white haired ghoul your estranged halfa variants were sent after, he's technically the black haired teen Hide has held onto since childhood." says Yuki frowning.
Shinohara stared at Yuki keeping quiet unsure of how to react to the news.
"Its no wonder Juuzou took to a couple like you. Crazies stick together." says Shinohara huffing.
"You have to believe that might possibly be the case since he is happily hanging out with their Ken, whatever it is he dragged the renewed Ken into doing with him." says Juuzou.
"And what is the white head compared to the Ken that was known to disappear and come up as dead?" wonders Shinohara.
"Remember our conversation with Amon?" wonders Juuzou.
"Half ghouls being a thing is still farfetched." says Shinohara.
"Its rare all on its own. We know." says Juuzou.
"How would you answer to the fact the Ken that appeared with us out of the blue for Hide's sake-whatya say to the teen being an artificial half demon-a human that was forced into being a demon in his sleep at the hospital as in a surgery that murdered all chances of a normal life?" wonders Yuki trying to look serious.
"That's a fucked up way of looking at Hide's friend." says Shinohara.
"It is undoubtedly the truth. The gods pulled a sick and twisted joke or so that's what I think the more I look at our situation. In the old earth that was looked over by the previous god, there was a helper that could live on earth with the earthlings of that earth. That teenager was named Aru Akise. Instead of gray hair and pink eyes that Aru was created with, the Ken that appeared with us gained white hair and still technically had his human form's eyes except he gets the horrific honor of having one reddening ghoul eye from the previous cycle he got corrupted in. Yes, Ken is what the previous god would call an observer of the earth's traitorous actions. How cruel fate must be to gain not only the new gods' personalities and lifestyles sorta speak but end up partially becoming an observer who represents both humans and ghouls due to what the ghouls did to the college student on the earth he was born on." says Yuki shaky eyed.
"Am I just supposed to believe this off the bat? If Juuzou claimed what you said, I wouldn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes." says Shinohara.
"I can't show you the proof now but Ken is pretty much an updated Aru Akise. The gods didnt form him in the space where they live while keeping an eye on earth. He was born a black haired taupe eyed boy with the same hairstyle as Aru Akise eerily enough. Like the female god, his life was hell even when he wanted to keep thinking positive by blocking out the bad times he had with family. The female god had a cruel mother who caged her up when she lived on earth and creepily enough, Ken's mom beat him when she let her anger out. Like the male god, Ken is insecure about how life is treating him and hates fighting and killing even though that's all he knows to do now." says Yuki.
"I think I heard enough. It sounds like gibberish yet your eyes show no lies." says Shinohara.
"It was either we tell you or the blonde woman hanging around the grouchy short guy and the black haired guy who means well yet follows orders. Judging by the way the men are acting." says Yuki.
"In the case of cycle 1 treatment, would Ken be Arima's half brother since they are both albinos who look like family?" wonders Juuzou.
"A..rima and Kaneki as family? For Arima to take in Kaneki would mean they are similar to one another. Arima is a human albino like yourself so there shouldn't be any reason for Arima to keep Kaneki and become an instant father figure. If Arima becomes a substitute family member then who would the rest of the ghoul killers be to the albino half ghoul if he were to keep his appearance? Ghoul killers keeping a half ghoul in their ranks sounds suspicious. That's a whole other ideal life that makes sense yet doesnt." says Yuki reverting his eyes wearily.
"Wouldn't that still count if you and Yuno weren't involved?" wonders Juuzou.
"Living a life where you never know your friends if any are around seems cruel if he were to become part of the staff. We could still be around but it would be to complicated for you guys if we popped up out of nowhere to check on Ken as if the gods were gonna send us here anyway." says Yuki nervously.
"Albino Ken made a deal with the gods and there's only so many crazy ways to go about the gateways to better lifestyles." says Juuzou chuckling amused.
"If Arima really wanted to see the half ghoul albino in the flesh, he wouldn't have anyone send those oddly placed halfas the ghoul hunters seem to use as backup." says Yuki elbowing Juuzou.
"It's hard to read Arima though. He's hardly ever out murdering ghouls, always in his office doing who knows what. Wouldn't be that surprising if word got to him before the cycle switch." says Juuzou grinning evilly.
"if word got out here, Arima would be the uncle of Kaneki since he already has foster parents." says Yuki leaning back.
"That's if you two don't die first." says Juuzou.
"There are pros and cons to every cycle. Don't create anything rash that will result in a detrimental con that forces the ghoul inside to come out. Ghoul killers wouldn't harm Hide to benefit themselves over a human loving ghoul. Seeing Hide bloodied and bruised-on the verge of death would cause Ken to create havoc that would harm everyone in his path." says Yuki fearing the worst.
"Yuno would create havoc at the thought of such a scheme. She's a one woman killer if there ever comes a time." says Juuzou snickering.
"We as a family could benefit the ghoul killers if you let us become part of your squadron. Ken slaughtering CCG left and right over any deadly injury to Hideyoshi and everyone's a bloodied battered mess would make him a true villain he doesn't want a repeat of." says Yuki shadow eyed.
"But all I can turn to are Shinohara and Akira but would Akira listen to reason like Shinohara does me? Should we risk it?" wonders Juuzou growing serious.
"We were hoping to find someone here who would be in the same position as Hide and Ken. Starting with you and Juuzou given how you treat eachother regardless of past traumas." says Yuki.
"Is that all you need me for?" wonders Shinohara.
"Yeah. We said all we could. Whether you side with us due to Juuzou or your own reasons is up to you. Let noone get into your head. It's hard trusting ghoul killers in an unjust world when we should be thinking up ways everyone can be happy unless its a truly evil ghoul masquerading as a good citizen." says Yuki.
"I'd say 'Any friend of Juuzou's is a friend of mine' but never have I predicted this result." says Shinohara scratching his head getting up.
"He needs more friends than Hideyoshi anyway. Why not a crazy family he can be himself around?" says Yuki.
"I do have some concerns based off what Amon tells me. Amon has it in his head that you guys are the villains." says Shinohara sheepishly.
Juuzou broke out laughing like a hyena,
"Amon thinks they will put you and Hide on the opposite side." says Shinohara.
"Oh my fucking...that's rich. You all think according to every subordinates safety so its only fair to worry. If Ken or Yuno were gonna butcher us over crazy mindsets controlling their outlook on life, then, of course the CCG would search them down to kill." says Juuzou chuckling away.
"I don't know how safety for the staff is hilarious." says Shinohara.
"Sorry. Sorry. You of all people should know I'd defend Hide if Ken and Yuno were to attack us out of nowhere. Yuno with a sword or hatchet and Ken with his ghoul appendages...would end up a hell of a killing spree with that duo teaming up if aggression takes charge. Ken and I are Hide's bodyguards, Ken as batman and me as Robin turned Nightwing fending off devious ghouls protecting him as Deku whoever that sunshine wonderment is." says Juuzou coughing from so much laughter.
"Sunshine wonderment? I'm not fluent in manga characters teens are into these days." says Shinohara.
"You are Juuzou's angel from above since you took him in after whatever happened that involved him and ghouls. If Ken were to take Juuzou's place and become a savage ghoul after any days of being experimented on...then tortured for days on end, Hide would still be there for Ken regardless of looks. You see Juuzou as the son you never had so why can't Hide still have Ken as a friend turned brother. You could also claim them as lovers since they are practically made for eachother." says Yuki.
"That's way to much information to think over. I'll be having headaches for days trying to fathom everything you claim." says Shinohara.
"You trust Juuzou like Hide trusts Ken. There's no in-between for ways to compare you 4." says Yuki.
Ken and Hide...
"3 or 4 shirts is just fine for me. How badly do you like those shirts that you can't choose?" wonders Ken to himself.
Soon, Ken turned his head hearing a door close and footsteps head out of the dressing room and Hide had decided to keep half the shirts being; the bunny ears Hip Hop DJ shirt, the Music is my happy place shirt, The Good Time Hits shirt, the cute bunny rabbits musical notes shirt and the positive uplifting Be the Sunshine shirt. The rest were set on the lone rack outside the dressing room.
"Felt like forever since you went in there." says Ken.
"You're just saying that." says Hide folding the shirts he wanted over his arm.
"Where can we find proper cosplay attires in stores? Batman doesnt fit the villain life and I need to fit the anti hero-villain life. Your growing form wont be able to handle cosplay attires for much longer so its a huge if on whether cosplay can be in your size." says Ken.
"Alternate cosplay wear so you have something normal to wear?" wonders Hide.
"Pretty much. I need a batch of attires that would make me feel human again." says Ken.
"And Batman doesnt scream that?" wonders Hide.
"Batman is supposed to be my human life yet ended up my ghoul life. I need an alternative for what should be my human self yet with this appearance instead of my black haired self. That sort of something that easily fits my new parents' lifestyle. That guy...Aru Akise that they used to hang out with and practically butchered in their previous life, I need to look similar to him yet not. But I don't know what he looks like without a picture to go by." says Ken unamused.
"Wanna search em up?" wonders Hide taking out his cell.
"As if pictures of that guy can be obtained in this world." says Ken grumbling.
"What about characters I could be?" wonders Hide.
"Tokyo is supposed to have every cosplay imaginable. If you can find pictures on the guy you feel most like, then its somewhat possible. Seeing is believing." says Ken uneasily.
"I know I am Deku aka Midoriya's smiling sunshine and you are the dark knight that keeps getting mistaken for a villain. Who else screams us to a tee also?" wonders Hide tapping his cell on his chin.
"Think Hide. If your sunny personality is Deku then who fits the rest of your qualities? It would be freaky if you found a rabbit boy that is oddly like you." says Ken.
"Your demon side is Batman and ought to be human self is this Aru Akise from your parents' world so who can I claim as my other half that fits everything I do?" wonders Hide.
"GET TO SEARCHING AND IT WILL DAWN ON YOU!" yells Ken.
"Moody as ever." grumbles Hide.
"You have all of the mangas you ever read and you cant think on the spot?" mutters Ken.
"Well, there's so many people I could be. I could have Sousuke's military armor but murder and me dont synchronize well. Then there's Momiji from fruits basket who is also a yellow rabbit but we aren't in highschool anymore. I am Holmes like Shinichi but Vermouth would be perfect mother material. Dunno how well Sousuke and Vermouth would look side by side since Sousuke is a highschooler too. Fake parents aside, if Vermouth can become anyone and blend in with society tricking people then that leads me to Kaito kid. A magician who looks like he's getting married. Capes and tuxedos look silly together but he makes the girls go gaga for him when he appears." says Hide.
"If Momiji is you in another universe, you can't become him. If this Vermouth woman was to be your fake mother, that leaves your detective ways and if your disguises will fool ghouls and humans alike." says Ken.
"It should be easy picking but I'm stuck between the Holmes of detective conan and the sneaky magician that can fool everyone by becoming anyone he sees." says Hide.
"You are a sneaky sly fun loving detective than can fool anyone with a smile when around others. Does that sound more like Kaito kid or Shinichi?" wonders Ken.
"A high school detective who knows things before its even noticed or magician with a groom tuxedo that can disguise himself as easily as Vermouth. My detective skills are amazing but I have to lean toward Kaito kid. But should I go by my usual attire colors or the cosplay colors?" ponders Hide.
"Like I care at this point." says Ken reverting his eyes frowning.
