I may shape the direction of the story differently than how the original is, because i want to have as many good characters in as i want.
Wait why am i telling this, it's my story, Buuhuu, Chaotic's Note~~
As the morning sun began to shine upon Lastation the only thing that could be heard was the still breeze that occasionally swept over, in the morning it seemed the clockwork city of Lastation wasn't as loud and operational as in the latter of the day.
The sun's rays of light slowly began to fill and warm the bed Noire was in, ever feeling the warm ray onto her cheek, she felt as if held by a person dear to her.
''Kaneki...'' Noire quietly mumbled in her sleep, and a while later the sun began to become a pain for her, as the rays began to shine at her eyes she couldn't help but slowly rise herself up in the tiny bed.
Noire rubbed her eyes a little before opening them.
Of course, it was the sun's light from the tiny window in the room that had awoken her from that wonderful sleep, but she noticed something, a breathing.
As she tried to locate where the breathing came from her eyes widened, there was Kaneki on the floor snoozing away with his mask in his right hand.
Noire slowly arose herself from the bed and crouched down, examining Kaneki, he seemed fine now...did he really eat a person?
She shook her head.
''This is how ghouls are, he told me it himself, it's not his fault it's like this'' she thought picking his head up slowly and placing it in her lap, he looked so much at peace.
She began brushing her hand through his hair, it was thick yet so smooth and a pleasure to the touch.
Kaneki mumbled something Noire couldn't hear, and interrupted to his sleep, Kaneki slowly opened his eyes, the two of them stared at each other, before Noire's face became a deep crimson red color.
Noire almost at lightning-speed removed her legs and stood up facing towards the window at the end of the room, opposite to Kaneki's direction, Thump.
''Haha, ow that kinda hurt, Good morning Noire'' Kaneki quietly greeted lifting his head, touching his back head, and smiling radiantly at Noire.
''G-good morning'' Noire replied, she had one question on her mind and steeled herself to say it, she turned around, sat her arms in a cross and tightened her grip.
''So...is it done? did you eat?'' she asked seriously, the curiousity got the better of her, but she wanted to know for sure if Kaneki had done it, if he'd avoid food anymore it'd really make Noire worried.
Kaneki lowered his head so his face wasn't visible and answered ''Yes, it's done, i had to eat a corpse as cannibalistic as it sounds it's what i had to do to survive, but i upheld our deal, i said my prayer to the unfortunate victim'' inside Kaneki it was still a battling conflict if it was okay to eat people or not.
Since before he came to this new world he'd have to eat to survive, to become strong, but as Kaneki met Noire, Compa, Neptune, he began to question it, if it was really necessary to do these frightening things in a place with no bloodshed?
''Don't say it like that'' Noire slowly turned around looking at Kaneki with a determined stare, he lifted his head and their eyes met.
''As long as you're safe and sound then...the deal is trivial, your life is important'' her stare was like a harmonic peace that easily made Kaneki comfortable.
He lifted himself from the floor, placing his mask in the back-pocket and smiled at Noire.
''You have no idea how much that means to me Noire'' he said chuckling abit, despite Noire's best she snapped and couldn't look at Kaneki anymore, her crimson blushing made it easy to see she had it hard, kaneki was happy.
But one thing Kaneki didn't understand was a weird feeling in his stomach, like the night earlier he got a warm and fuzzy feel inside himself, he hesitated but discarded the thought of them yet again.
''Should we go down the stairs and take a look to Compa and Chian?'' Kaneki asked, opening the door and smiled.
As they slowly ventured down the stairs no one was there, Kaneki and Noire through base logic deducted they were probably in the other rooms on the 2nd floor and didn't want to disturb them.
So they each took their seat in the cafeteria, and waited.
about 30 minutes later, Kaneki heard the creaking of floorboards from the stairs, when the appearence came into sight, it was Compa!
She was still sleepy and rubbed her eyes slowly, but her face gained a giant smile as soon as her eyes set on Kaneki.
''oooooh, Itsh Kanekiiiih'' she loudly mumbled while running over to him and hugging him.
''where did you go yesterday? we weresh shoo worried...ZzZz'' while still hanging onto Kaneki with her hug, she fell asleep.
He laughed sheepishly, taking hold around of Compa, holding her in his arms, and placed her slowly on a chair making her lean her head and arms on the table infront of it.
Kaneki smiled at this and turned to return to his seat, but was surprised to see Noire glaring at him.
''What's wrong Noire?'' he asked while slowly taking his seat, leaning back.
''You're awfully familiar with that girl aren't ya? now that i think about it, when we fought that monster she came out of nowhere and tended to you'' she said in an annoyed tone still glaring at Kaneki.
Kaneki shrugged, ''i honestly don't know, she told me she saw our fight from afar, that was after i suddenly went unconscious because of, you know, my hunger'' Kaneki looked at Noire, she continued to glare at him.
''C'mon Noire don't give me that look, her intentions are only meant in a kind gesture, and i don't know why she would help me but i'm grateful for it, maybe you were also worried about me when i passed out weren't you?'' he smiled at Noire.
She slowly closed her eyes and gradually her cheeks became red, she turned her face as to not look at Kaneki anymore, holding her arms at cross around her bossom she said.
''H-hah! a-as if i'd be worried about someone like you, i already knew at that time you'd survive with that skull of yours!'' she sharply retaliated not wanting Kaneki to know she actually went into a panic while he was out back then.
Kaneki laughed ''I already know you worry yourself about me Noire, i also worry about you, you're a precious friend''
Noire's cheeks became even redder ''D-don't be an idiot! like i'd worry after everything that happend yesterd...'' as she said this sentence her voice grew more and more silent until it was inaudible, Noire just sat there with her face down while blushing, and Kaneki thought this was a nice relaxing moment.
Some time went on until a person entered the Cafeteria door.
It was hard to describe the person as they had a cloak around their entire body that was followed by a hoodie covering their face.
''Who are you?'' Kaneki asked in a voice that neither sounded angry nor friendly, rather a neutral voice, as he assumed Chian was still sleeping on the 2nd floor, he had no idea if this person knew her or how business would go on here.
The cloaked person hurriedly raised their head and looked in Kaneki's direction.
''Oh you're already awake? that makes this even faster'' they said walking towards Kaneki.
The voice was familiar for Kaneki and he sighed ''why do you walk around looking so suspicious, Chian?'' he recognized her voice.
Chian removed her cloak and took a seat near the table Noire and Kaneki sat at.
''I have great news to tell you all'' she said with a smile.
As Chian sat down she noticed Compa at a table nearby was sleeping, she reached her hand out to wake Compa up but Kaneki interfered her.
''Whatever this great news is, tell me and Noire it first, i'll explain it for Compa later'' he suggested.
Chian nodded and began fiddling in her pocket, when she found what she was looking for she tossed three small paper applications on the table.
''Chian, is this what i think it is?'' Kaneki asked, taking one of the applications and read it.
*Kaneki Ken newly-appointed guest worker* is what the application paper read.
''After you went away to who knows where, i used the night to forge my way and your way mind you, into the clutches of Avenir, starting later today you'll be working with them from within'' she smiled.
Kaneki sighed ''While i don't like the idea about this application having my real name i guess now it's not something i can change, so i'll go with it'' deep inside Kaneki was kinda excited, again he knew where he had to go and was motivated.
Noire stood up from her chair and shoved the application in her skirt pocket.
''Well time to do this, time for us to countermeasure those scums, you all ready?'' Noire asked, stretching her hand out.
''Count me in!'' Chian replied, placing her hand on Noire's.
Now they both looked at Kaneki and he smiled ''Well at this point i can't do anything but agree'' he said, placing his hand on Chians.
''Let's infiltrate Avenir and get Lastation back!'' Noire announced boldly.
''For one and for all, and all for one!'' Kaneki, Noire and Chian yelled in agreement.
A small scream came from the table next to them.
''I'm up! i'm up! what's happening? what's going on!? why are you all so loud!'' Compa yelled in an almost sad/irritated manner having been waken from her sleep.
Kaneki couldn't help but laugh, this is finally their time to shine!
