Kaneki's promise

Sayori: we're counting on you Kane-kun! or i should say Hero! you better keep your promise OK!!

Sayori jokingly said.

Monika: you know you shouldn't joke about him not keeping his promises you know? you might jinx us.

Sayori: you worry too much Monika!

Kaneki looked at Sayori and Monika with a smile.

Monika: what're you looking at Kaneki-kun?

Kaneki: oh nothing I just like it when people smile mostly people who suffered through a lot?

Monika: really! why?

he was a bit hesitant but Kaneki told his new friends his story.

Kaneki: alright then I'll tell you why and why I want power.

it happened 8 years ago at spring of 2030 I was 3 years old at the time i didn't always listen to my parents, I was very curious as for a 3 year old at the time and I could open doors very easily despite being small because when I was small I was very good at jumping.

one night I was quite curious about what the whole town of Shimotsuki would look like at night. so i tried to go out but my mom saw me and stopped me when she stopped me she told me: "Kaneki-chan don't you go out at night without your Mommy and Daddy you should never go out on your own EVER!" i should have listened to her.

A few nights passed and my curiosity was getting stronger and then on the 6th night i waited for my parents to sleep.. then I quietly went out.

Sayori: huh? then what happened next?

Monika: don't ask him! can't you see he's having a hard time right now?

Sayori: oh yeah! sorry!

Kaneki: it's alright anyways.

when I went out i walked around but ever since I went outside I felt like I was being watched... then after an hour of walking i got lost and was desperately trying to find my home then... a black showed up and some guys took me in it and knocked me out.

The next thing I know is that I was in a room full of walls and a door and I was completely tied up There were at least 20 people in it they kinda looked like Arch Demons I don't remember much but i think they were saying something like "when will she get here", " just wait she's weak right now and with her child in our hands she'll definitely come here we will definitely be able to k**l her this time!" i didn't understand it at first but i figured out these people are moms enemies.

i didn't know why mom has enemies but either way I knew I had to escape there were no guards in the room so I tried biting the cloth in my mouth i had really sharp teeth at the time so I used them to chomp through the cloth after that i chomped on the ropes it has disgusting but I was free from the ties.

Monika: you were pretty smart for your age, interesting!

After that i put my ear on the door to listen for someone that might be outside but there wasn't anyone nearby so I tried to open the door. it was high but it was a handle type so I just jumped and I was able to open it quite easily so I went out.

once I was out of the room I saw a hallway with multiple doors but i decided to go for the door straight ahead but when I reached it I felt like someone was behind me and when i took a look I saw a really big guy it was an arch demon.

Sayori and Monika: !!!

The Arch Demon took me by the legs and brought me to the main hall I was crying really hard and the people that kidnapped me started laughing they even mocked me saying "this kid is so weak!", "how can a human kid like you be so weak despite being half demon!?" they kept mocking me then.. she came.

my mom came and she was holding a katana the large Arch Demon threw me across the room and everyone attacked mom I was barely unable to move because of it and mom was completely mad she tried to fight but she got beaten to a pulp.

Monika: kaneki.. maybe you should-

after that I was crawling to my mom I tried to wake her up but she didn't respond and those guys just laughed and mocked me and mom at that moment something awakened inside me I was full of rage so I took moms katana and sliced them all. after i killed them all mom said her last words to me I was not able to hear most of them because of my crying but she mutter the words...

"If you want us to be together again you must get stronger and more powerful so two trees would grow, once they grow... eat their fruits so I can come back"

Kaneki: those were her last words before she died at that moment i responded by promising to her that I'll make those trees grow. and that's why i want more power and strength I use them so people can be happy and so I can help people that suffer I may do those in secret but seeing people smile makes me happy.
