Calm before the storm

After finishing interrogating the Private investigator Eguchi Adachi, Kaneki destroyed his blood clone and continued house work with his sister before going to bed.

Kaneki: hey Miku, let's start our cooking lessons tomorrow after school.

Miku: it was supposed to be today after all!

Kaneki: I know, I'm sorry but do your best tomorrow.

Miku smiled and replied.

Miku: thanks, I will.

Seeing her smile made Kaneki happy, it even made him smile as well.

Miku: Onii-chan looks so happy!

Kaneki: of course I am, anyways go take bath and go to sleep.

Miku: yeah... Hey Onii-chan what about we bathe together?

Miku suddenly made a sudden request to Kaneki to bathe together.

Kaneki: huh? Why?

Miku: I mean we used to bathe a lot back then.

Kaneki: Miku, were kids back then, when we entered middle school we stopped doing that.

Miku: I know, I just want to have a bath with my Onii-chan again after a long time.

Kaneki: I'm against it, but knowing you you'll still bug me until I agree right?

Miku: yup! You know me very well!

Kaneki: I guess I have no choice huh? Fine.

Miku: yay! I'm going to prepare the bath.

Kaneki: okay~

Miku then went upstairs and started preparing the Bath.

Kaneki: seriously, what's with her recently?

Kaneki was still puzzled with Miku's current behavior, to him it's as if he's seeing the old Miku before meeting Ryueki.

Kaneki: well whatever, it's great to see her happy.

20 minutes later*

After finishing the bath, Miku came down stairs to call Kaneki.

Miku: Onii-chan, the bath is prepared you better come in soon.

Kaneki: I will, I'll just go get my clothes.

Miku: I'll be waiting.

Miku then went to the bath.

Kaneki: alright, time to get my clothes.

Kaneki then went to his room to get his clothes.

In the bathroom*

Miku: hehe~ I can't wait.

Miku was patiently waiting for Kaneki to come in.

And then.

Kaneki: I'm coming in.

Miku: enjoy the bath Onii-chan.

Kaneki came in the bathroom without clothes.

He first rinsed himself and after that he joined Miku in the bath.

Miku: Onii-chan can you wash my back?

Kaneki: yeah sure.

Kaneki took the soapy cloth and began washing Miku's back.

Miku: Haa~ it's so relaxing, you're really good at this Onii-chan.

Kaneki: thanks, umm.. you can wash your lower parts and front now.

Kaneki handed Miku the cloth.

Miku: thanks.

Miku then cleaned the parts Kaneki left out.

Miku: you want me to-

Kaneki: No.

Miku was going to wash Kaneki's back but Kaneki immediately rejected her request.

Kaneki: okay, here then wash yourself.

Kaneki then started washing himself.

Miku: I'm going to drain the water.

Kaneki: huh? Why?

Miku: well the water is really soapy now, it would be better if it wasn't.

Kaneki: Ahh~ I see. Okay then

Miku removed the bathtub's plug and removed all the water, she then turned of the warm water and waited it to fill up the bathtub.

After 5 minutes the bathtub was full again.

Kaneki: Haa~ this is relaxing.

Miku: yeah, it is.

Kaneki: hey Miku.

Miku: what is it?

Kaneki: I forgot to wash my hair, can I get out of bath and was it?

Kaneki forgot to wash his hair and he really wants to clean it.

Miku: sure, you do have long hair after all.

Kaneki: thanks!

Kaneki got out of the bathtub and began washing his hair in the shower with warm water.

After washing it he join Miku in the bath again.

Miku: you take really good acteof your hair huh?

Kaneki: yup, I use your shampoo after all.

Miku: what?! Is that why my shampoo runs out all the time?!

Kaneki: yeah, sorry.

Miku: no wonder everyone mistakes you for a girl you use girls shampoo.

Kaneki: shampoo is shampoo if I see it I'll use it.

Miku: really?

Kaneki: yup.

Miku: hey Onii-chan.

Kaneki: what is it?

Miku: I'm honestly surprised when you used that gun yesterday, seriously and it wasn't like guns that look high tech or anything it looks like a real gun.

Kaneki: that's because it is.

Miku: eh? Seriously? Well you did say it was from your senpai but who exactly is this senpai?

Kaneki: oh she's... I don't want to talk about it.

Miku: huh? Why?

Kaneki didn't respond.

Miku: oh... I see, sorry.

Kaneki: it's alright, anyways do you think mom and dad will bring souvenirs when they get back?

Miku: probably, also it's great to see you call them mom and dad now.

Kaneki: what are you talking about?

Miku: well you have been calling them mother and father all the time since Sachi-Oneechan left.

Kaneki: for real?

Miku: yup.

Kaneki: ... I have to apologize to them when they get back.

Miku: yeah you should.

Kaneki and Miku the went silent for a while and then.

Miku: hey Onii-chan.

Kaneki: hmm? What is it?

Miku: thank you for being my brother.

Kaneki: oh you're welcome.

Miku: you've been taking care of me this whole time and always helped me, thank you.

Kaneki: well I am your Onii-chan so of course I'll help even now I'm helping you by finding that bully.

Miku: yeah, thank you... Hey Onii-chan.

Kaneki: ?

Miku: I-

Before Miku could tell Kaneki something she got up.

Miku: I'm done I'll be going to dry up and get changed for bed.

Kaneki: oh okay.

Miku got out of the bath and dried herself and got changed.

Miku: well let's do our best tomorrow in our training.

Kaneki: let's do our best!

After that, Miku got out of the bathroom and went to her room.

Kaneki: what's with that kid? She's acting strange.

In Miku's room*

Miku: Ahhhh!

(I can't believe I almost confessed to Onii-chan!)

Apparently the reason why she left early was because she almost confessed to Kaneki which made her embarrassed.

(Now isn't a good time for that! Thank goodness I was able to stop it)

Miku: sigh~ what do I do now?

Miku was wondering what she'll do so she could get closer Kaneki so she could apologize.

Meanwhile in the bathroom*

"She got the information"

Kaneki: good, now go get me information about her and her family.

"Got it"

With getting notified by Eguchi, Kaneki began talking to himself.

Kaneki: this is a horrible plan but I'll do anything to help Miku and I'll make sure they don't get hurt too.

What is Kaneki's plan? And what is he up to?
