Chat and Fishing with Childhood friend (1)

After making his Fishing rod Kaneki and Shino walked back to camp but then.

Kaneki: thank you for the help Shita-chan.

Shino: hmm? Did you say something?

Kaneki: N-No! I didn't!

Shino: you sure? I think I heard you call me Shita-chan.

Kaneki: shoot! Sigh~ sorry about that I don't know what's with me recently i sometimes see or hear my old friends and for some reason you remind me a bit like Shita-chan.

Shino: maybe I am Shita-chan hehe~.

Kaneki: don't joke around like that i hate it when someone makes jokes about my friends.

Shino: sorry~.

Kaneki: well I'll let it slide for now.

Kaneki's thoughts*

(I'm still confused why did i say that?)

Kaneki: can you please not tell anyone about that please?

Shino: don't worry I don't plan to.

Kaneki: thank you!.

Shino: you're welcome, so what are you going to do with the fishing rod after using it?

Kaneki: I'll be keeping it considering it won't decay.

Shino: wait really? Are you going to take care of it and turn it into a tree? Hehe~.

Kaneki: haha, nope it won't decay so i might use it again sometimes.

Shino: this is surprising you seem to be enjoying this chat.

Kaneki: well like I said I have no idea what's wrong with me recently.

Shino: yeah yeah. So um Higanbana-kun i have a question.

Kaneki: what is it?

Shino: earlier when I was frozen in fear you told everyone to not bother me why did you do that?

Kaneki: well, you looked scared like you saw someone you care about die in front of you so i thought it was best that you need alone time.

Shino: well thanks for your concern.

Kaneki: well you're lucky you have some friends to calm you down.

Shino: yeah thanks friend.

Kaneki: who said we are friends?

Kaneki's thoughts*

(She's still trying to use me huh? Well I don't wanna get involved with that).

Kaneki: don't be mistaken I am NOT your friend i only have a habit of trying to help people.

Shino: well thanks for your help friend.

As she said that she walked faster ahead of him.

Kaneki: can you seriously drop the friend thing?

Kaneki's thoughts*

(Acting all friendly and calling me your friend don't give me false hope there's no way we can go back... Although I wish it was genuine)

Shino's thoughts*

(That was a great chat even though he kept rejecting me calling him friend i definitely saw a small smile on his face even though it was small it showed me hope!)

Shino: well lets head back to camp!

Kaneki: we're already here.

Shino: Heeeh!

Kaneki: yeah we walked 8 minutes away.

8 minutes later*

Yuuka: welcome back you two!

Kaneki: yo!

Keita: that's one cool looking Fishing rod Kaneki!

Kaneki: thanks.

Itsuki: woah its all made of wood! How did you you two made it?

Kaneki: we used dryad wood.

Ryueki's thoughts*

(What!)

Everyone' Dryad's wood?!

Shino: correct!

Yuuka: where did you get it?! Dryad's don't usually live around Shimotsuki!

Natsuki: yeah! How did you two got your hands on Dryads wood?!

Shino: to put it simply He Turned into a Dryad.

Yuuka: Huh?! He can turn into one?!

Ryueki: that's impossible Dryads are exclusively a female species!

Kaneki: well I have a Dryad sensei so it makes sense that I can turn into one.

Ryueki: but its still impossible! How can you turn into one?!

Kaneki: like I know! I don't understand my own body!

Shino: alright alright! No need to argue you two.

Ryueki: sorry i didn't mean it.(seriously! I'm the protagonist but how?! First becoming a spider next summoning a demon knight relic and now becoming a Dryad?! At this rate he'll become my rival!)

Kaneki: sorry I just didn't like yer tone.

???: but its still hard to believe you can turn into one.

???: yeah it really is.

Natsuki: Higanbana-kun what about you show us?

Kaneki: why? Mizutani-san?

Natsuki: well they might bug you if you don't show them.

???: Huh?! What are you talking about Mizutani-san!

Kaneki: yeah she's right well in that case. Dryad Style!

His body turned into his Dryad form.

Kaneki: there now can you guys not bug me? Hmm? What's wrong?

Shino: they looked Shocked.

Everyone: Haaaa!

???: Kaneki did turn into a Dryad!

Miku: is it just me or he looks cooler in that form?

Natsuki: yeah he does.

Kaneki: Sigh~ t'is a pain in the ass.

???: why their just praising you.

Kaneki: No i mean this is quite literally a pain in the ass! And other parts of my body seriously hurts! I'm turning back!

He turned back.

Natsuki: are you alright Higanbana-kun?

Kaneki: argh! Yup! It's just been a while since I last used Dryad Style. Well when are we gonna start the competition?

Shino: be patient Higanbana-kun are you excited?

Kaneki: yeah I am i want some crepes for me and my sis of course!

???: wait you have a sister?

Kaneki froze after realizing what he just said... Then.

Kaneki: I'm out!

Whoosh!*

Shino: there he goes again.

???: yeah he's off again.

Shino's thoughts*

(Well I'll be seeing him again later so its alright but something feels off about him recently).

Natsuki's thoughts*

(Strange his colors are acting very strange recently)

At a cave nearby camp*

Kaneki: what the hell... is going on... with me?!

Something is happening to him and he doesn't know what it is.
