my childhood friend's secret (1)

after asking how long he was training Kaneki said "since my mom died"

Shino knew she messed up.

Shino: oh I'm sorry.

Kaneki: it's alright... You know Tanaka-san i... actually feel pain when i transform just like earlier.

Shino hearing that was a bit In shock.

Shino: what do you mean by.. you feel pain?

Kaneki: I am an artificial ability user.

Shino: What!

Kaneki: yeah just not like the ones made in hell during the war in hell 6 years ago.

"wait why am i telling her this?"

Kaneki: i wasn't born with abilities I was fine with that at first but since my mom died i had to train myself very very hard.

Shino: how hard?

Kaneki: you could say near death.

Shino: (he's been near death multiple times?!) what type of training do you do?

Kaneki: should I even say it? i doubt you'd believe me and might call me a chuunibyou.

Shino: I won't!

Kaneki: okay there's no need to yell seriously. well anyways. the type of training I do varies from doing certain tasks to fighting creatures like a dragon.

"seriously why is my body not listening to me?! i shouldn't say this information to her!"

Kaneki didn't know why he started telling Shino his secrets.

Kaneki: these trainings can be drowning myself, burning myself, getting stabbed, and getting my organs removed.

Shino: (organs removed?! how are you alive?!) I can't believe it! how are you even alive?!

Kaneki: you saw him yesterday right? Querxes Sensei? after I left you saw him right?

Shino looking back at that day, she remembered the man that Kaneki fought and almost brought out his Demonic powers.

Shino: yeah i remember.

Kaneki: that was my first Sensei Querxes Preston he is very strong he beat me up so much when i first started training.

Shino: that's horrible!

Kaneki: don't worry it's not his fault I forced him to train me.

Shino was puzzled.

Shino: Forced??

Kaneki: Yeah when I asked him to train me combat without holding back I kept ambushing him and gave him hell.

"so that's what you've been doing when i wasn't able to see you back then"

Kaneki: at some point of my training he beat me up so bad I was near death, i would be lying i said he was ruthless.

Shino: he.. regretted beating you up?

Kaneki: yes, but after he beaten me up, my body started fixing itself and i acquired my first ability: Regeneration.

Shino: (Regeneration? is that how he's still alive?) I see you kept training and got more and more abilities, must be painful huh?

Kaneki: yeah but I didn't mind even though my reason is to bring back my mom because of my promise to her.

Shino: (he really is a man of his words and he still wants to keep his promise with his mom... i wish i could be like him) I see so that's your reason for wanting power.

thought she finally understood why Kaneki wanted power.

Kaneki: Not really it's not my only reason.

"no stop! you're just a stranger in her eyes if you say THAT she'll think you want her! and she'll hate you!"

Kaneki: my other reason is my 4 girl friends. i don't remember most of their names but I do remember their nickname.

Shino: Girlfriends?! (wait did he think of us as his Girlfriends!?)

Kaneki: no, I said Girl-friends.

Shino: oh I see (what was i thinking?)

Kaneki: well they are: Sachi Saki my childhood friend, Miyu-chan my best friend, Miha-chan the one i consider a sister and Shita-chan my other childhood friend who i sometimes think of as a mother.

Shino: as... a.... Mother?
