First thing to pop in my head
It's gonna be hell of a ride watching Satoko take over Rika's role in Sou Higurashi and now Satoko as Hide and Rika as Ken is implanted in my mind with how the end of the previous season went *_* A triggered Ken who is part Rika part Satoko in this scenario
Rika's cycle views+Satoko's asshole aunt/uncle turned only uncle Satoko and Satoshi had to bear with living alongside due to killed parents='anime' albino Ken Kaneki story view =_= I'd include brother disappearance but that leans more toward Hide vision
Considering RE is when Ken is 21 as Haise the meh anime visual*no offense Ken*, that only gives me some time to tease Hide and Ken for s2 pov, Black hair Ken will be 19 as the anime claims. An angry mother will do anything for her family blood related or not in Yuno's case. Just need to envision it to place everything together before I transition to school days HideKane
Given how I went about things here, debating between early access to college or a not so exciting icecream run if I have Juuzou and Yukiteru spot the boys. If there is coffee icecream itd be perfect for Kaneki but ghouls would puke instantly :/
Ken was back on the couch staring at the pages he left off on, attempting to ignore the excitement in his pants.
"Stupid...stupid...stupid..." mumbles Ken to himself, "Maybe I was wrong to choose both. Yeah...living in a dug up hole is sounding amazing right now. We lead each other on and now I'm in this predicament."
Ken started picturing himself as Rika being killed by Hide as if he were the one possessed. Ken and Hide acting normal around each other like they used to. Instead of Hide looking like a deer in front of headlights, Hide begins looking like an enraged dove gunning Ken down out of nowhere. A crying out of desperation Ken with a Hide not taking any chances as Ken let himself be killed with a sad smile on his face. Hide out of breath dropping the gun before freaking out by what he had done. Haha...Higurashi way of slaughter fests go either way. Yet as the cycle goer, he'd be dead regardless of how Hide pulled it off before coming to in a different view.
"How should we go about laying on the couch? You on the inner side or me? Regardless you'd use your tentacles to wrap around me. It is my warmth you enjoy out of all of this." says Hide walking up to Ken.
Ken shuffled around to get comfier so he could focus on the manga.
"I bet my aunt never batted an eye when watching the news. Seeing the news claim my unofficial death with Centipede all over the news should've triggered something in that bitch. Even my cousin should've brought something up. She and my cousin visiting me at Anteiku and meet everyone there all but wasted the moment I ended up with this god awful Marie Antoinette syndrome appearance. She was most likely thrilled to know of my possible death and finally never having me visit the house ever again. The likely hood of me crashing into my aunt's place and eating them is high. Crazy Centipede albino would do it in a heartbeat without a regretful thought in mind. Who knows how many humans I ate alongside ghouls after escaping the weird torture circus place? I cant readily say I could very well dig graves for them all and chant 'Sorry I'm a monster.' when all of Japan never took notice of black hair boy that seemed fine turned albino savage ghoul forced to take on the country's doves. Only Hide would've and that's a far cry from being the reality of the situation I was dug deep in." murmurs Ken not facing Hide.
"We can chat about other stuff. That was a mere out of the blue thought that triggered you into assuming horrible timing. Let's get into gear for your arrival at Kami university." says Hide sweat dropping.
"There are pros and cons to that dumbass." mutters Ken.
"And? You know never to feast on humans so going back to uni isnt as bad as you think." says Hide scratching his head.
"Showing up with your fat ass would cause rumors." says Ken.
"Who gives a damn? Has Higurashi been messing with your mind? What kind of friend would I be if I slaughtered my only friend? Haven't we had this conversation at Anteiku? Only the gods Yuno and Yuki can change things for better or worse depending on how this world shifts to their whims. Since they're on earth, everything up to this moment is set in stone, so why envision what may or may not happen?" wonders Hide cheekily.
"Don't bring Yuno and Yuki into this! I would-I...if your fat ass cant move within a few months of me appearing. I am your chef after all and all students need a thinking mindset for homework and studying. If anyone were to come into my dorm room if given one, what would I explain to the staring gossip prone eyes of student or teacher?" growls Ken eye twitching unamused.
"We havent even gotten there and already you're picturing me being 500lbs within two months tops of staying at the college." says Hide.
"Whatya think the inevitable would be? I dunno what everyone's kinks are there but it'd look suspicious staring at a immobile Hide, who went from looking normal for chubbiness to being unable to leave the room?" says Ken quietly.
"Your mind is like a rollercoaster. It goes back and forth on the way we got to this point yet at times its all over the place giving you thoughts that are unneeded. Scrambling your mind until you give in. We need to work on that." says Hide thoughtfully.
"Like you're one to talk." says Ken.
"It's all a matter of opinion." says Hide.
"Opinions are shit. We agreed that this hellish manga was us in a sense so of course I'd start imagining these scenarios as us. I can see Mion and Shion as me and my doppelganger but its plain as day to see Rika as my cycle searching self and Satoko as my parentless bitch of an aunt childhood. Except I disappeared on Hide instead of the other way around." says Ken.
"You claimed me as Keiichi. Is it going well for you?" wonders Hide grabbing the manga to check out the manga pages.
"Keiichi gets fucked over every time but hes good hearted so not much to complain about." says Ken glaring at Hide.
"So he's my exact copy?" wonders Hide.
"Y..yeah, his fears are Yukiteru's but his admiration for his friends leans in your direction. I'm not sure which he is overall." says Ken motioning for the manga.
"Yet your assumptions stem from this manga the more you read over the moments." says Hide.
"Give me the manga Hide. I'm not finished with the scenario." says Ken.
"Yet you see yourself being slaughtered in Rika's place with someone from cycle 1 slaughtering you with no regards to your statements." says Hide.
"Hey...there has to be a happy ending at some point." says Ken.
"But will there?" wonders Hide.
"That's what I wanna find out." says Ken.
"Maybe you should've been the fat one. I'd be able to enjoy myself around an awkward fatty you. The moment in the bedroom would be so different." says Hide slyly.
"As if ghouls could gain weight. You wanna be a murderer just to enjoy some pudge on a friend who feels insecure?" growls Ken taking the manga away.
"So this is the better outcome?" wonders Hide.
"You're already all over me. Sweets are the better version of corpses." says Ken setting his sights back on the manga.
"A table's worth of desserts for me to chow down or having to slice up a few corpses that will turn into to many bags to carry home?" wonders Hide envisioning his gluttony before Kaneki's gluttony.
"This is 1,000% better than the place smelling like rotten flesh. Both options are a horrible outcome for humans. Thinking thoroughly, being your chef has its drawbacks buts its less suspicious to come across a ghoul that wants humans for food than seeing a human killing for said ghoul as if he or she were forced into doing it. Tell them you wanted it that way, and they think you were a liar. What people see with their eyes is what they perceive as the one and only truth." says Ken.
Headquarters...
Going eerily silent, Juuzou walked away from the group, the excited killing spree thoughts all but depleted from his mind.
"The creepy teen is leaving our sight." sighs Takizawa in relief.
'Hide dying...not my only friend within this place. No-one touches the ones I hold dear.'
"You shouldn't have told him that. Waiting for him to skip away with a crazy expression would've been the better option.." says Takizawa wearily.
"He would've overheard it eventually." sighs Akira walking away.
"Hey! I'm a fragile person!" says Takizawa chasing Akira.
"Now what?" wonders Ginshi.
"I'm staying in my room. Screw this." says Saiko leaving Ginshi's side.
"Let me stay in there!" says Ginshi noticing noone was around him.
Juuzou was passing the investigators roaming the halls, focusing his attention on grabbing his scythe. Where had he set his Hidan inspired scythe? His mind was to clouded with thoughts of a murdered Hide and new demon buddy alongside that peculiar human looking half ghoul that resembles the albino. Yuno will be fine out of all of them with Yuki and the albino barely hanging on. Crazed killers always one up the norms in battle. Juuzou just needs his favorite weapon and get Yukiteru out of there to hightail it back to the house to get Yuno's attention on the sudden matter.
"Time to show everyone what true fear is like from a female's point of view." thinks Juuzou grinning evilly.
After some searching, Juuzou spotted his upgraded scythe then with the scythe screeching the floor with the metal part, headed back to where he last saw Shinohara and Yukiteru. Once there, without warning, Juuzou grabbed Yukiteru's collar and left the facility with a quiet Shinohara still baffled by Juuzou's logic when it came to the albino.
"Yuno, your precious albino and human brother are in deep trouble after all I spat out." says Juuzou.
"What did you tell them?" wonders Yuki turning his head.
"That Hide and Ken have a right to love eachother. Hide does give off lover vibes when he talks and Ken cant figure out how to reciprocate those feelings. Now Akira wants everyone here to hunt down you guys but most importantly my only friends who cant visit and prove Hide is ok." says Juuzou shadow eyed.
"You have poor timing." says Yuki.
"I got caught up in the excitement. Don't worry about it. Yuno will have her ways with the other two quinx." says Juuzou.
"If she hasnt killed them yet." gulps Yuki.
"One has to make those two hear her side before the uncaring and fidgety quinx duo get a slice of bloodshed." says Juuzou.
Hide's place...
"I have a quick question too. Considering your actions in the bedroom, do you prefer the taste of ghouls or just your version of me?" wonders Ken.
Hide stared blankly wracking his mind of every dumb out of place thing he did with the black haired half ghoul.
"Didnt we have a similar conversation?" wonders Hide blinking in confusion.
"You don't have to answer. With you doing what you did, your feelings would've been known straight away by my double yet you both continue to feign ignorance. What things did my other self do to your body as he let it grow?" says Ken.
"That's all in the past. Highschoolers do stupid shit that doesnt need to be brought up." says Hide.
"Your dad told you other me force feeding you is what caused the urge for your weight loss. Yet seeing you two in your room doing a certain thing that doesnt involve gaming or reading your odd yet similar feeling of choices manga would fairly well cause a commotion if your dad spotted you two." says Ken sitting up after setting the manga down pages facing the couch.
Hide began sweating wondering back to what all his dad could've saw when they least expected him to appear and shook it away.
"Now you have to finish what you started even if I detest the timing." says Ken bitterly, "Your magic hands is all it needs unless you prefer a different way."
Hide sweat dropped laughing nervously before awkwardly nodding.
"I was hoping to lean toward college sight seeing or going out for icecream since we havent gotten the chance but your moodswings really take a toll on you. If you are wracking your mind of what ifs between me and double you, that's old news. Lets focus on the now like we have been somewhat. Cosplay doesnt really suit you so lets hang out on college grounds or see what icecream shops are open." says Hide gulping.
"Dont change the subject Hide! We can delve into those thoughts after whatever your high brain was heading towards with me leaning on you." says Ken.
"Y...yeah. With you in this mood, getting you to urge for me is the least of my worries." says Hide.
"It's either you do it or I let my kagune do it. Both are disturbing thoughts human turned demon in the sheets as you claim to be." says Ken.
"It's your body. It wasnt the greatest of timing but...how would I respond to what you keep going on about?" wonders Hide mouth twitching.
"Going with the flow gives little relief. I may seem calm and collected one moment then get uneasy the next. Icecream sounds amazing yet even if you buy me coffee icecream, it would be inedible. Nice try though." huffs Ken.
Ken's place...
"Get the picture bastard of a halfa subordinate and finicky halfa subordinate eyepatch wearer of a female that prefers acting male?" wonders Yuno glaring at the duo, "If your cronies so much as touch a hair on those delicate hearted boys, your heads will be chopped off by yours truly."
"Doves arent cronies!" growls Urie.
"You had all the time in the world to injure me with the fun of it wasting away. Head back to headquarters and tell whoever sent you." says Yuno bitterly.
