Chapter 666 - Kaneki Vs Kotori: Kizuna No Ai (Bond of Love)

Kotarou: Let go of me!

Kotori: Haha~ This body is so cute~ to think that my little brother made such a cute body on his own.

Kotarou: Hey Me! HELP PLEASEEEEE!

With the Beast Knights now out of the Battle, only Kaneki, Akuma Castle, his Second Body Kotarou, his other selves and Kotori remains.

Kaneki: 10 Minutes huh? That's not enough time at all...

And afteri being drained during his fusion with all the Beast Knights, Kaneki only had 10 minutes left until Kaneki goes unconscious and unable to fight.

Kaneki: No matter. Henshin!

Boom!

Even with the time limit, Kaneki didn't hesitate and once again transformed into his fusion form with the Beast Knights Called: Omega Knight-Oh.

Kick!

Crash!

After transforming he went to save his second body and kicked Kotori away.

But there was a problem.

Kaneki: Haa~ Haa~

Kotori: What's wrong Kaneki-chan? Getting exhausted?

Kaneki: Hehe~ this is way worse than I thought!

Kotori: Come here!

Blast!

Kotarou: Run!

Kaneki: You got that right!

With his energy and strength nearly depleted, Kaneki is barely able to hurt Kotori now.

And with Kotori immediately knowing this after receiving that kick, instead of ending it all right and there.

Kotori wanted to play.

Shake~!

Kotori: Come here little brother~

Kaneki & Kotarou: THIS FEELS SO WRONG!

And by playing Kotori was treating Kaneki as a baby playing tag, with her chasing after him as an 8 Meter tall giant.

Splash!

Kotori: Boo~ He retreated. Eh no matter it's now a game of hide and seek. Where are you~

Kaneki his second body then teleported away using Darkness travel prompting Kotori to start and play "hide and seek".

Meanwhile in the Higanbana residence*

Kotarou: Well now that's embarrassing.

Kaneki and his other selves retreated to the Higanbana residence where they regrouped.

Kaneki: Yup. Man fusing with everyone was not a good idea on our part huh?

Kotarou: Man and it sounded so cool too, so uh... What now? We don't have anything in mind.

Kaneki: I'll be honest, same here there's nothing coming into my mind right now and I only have... Crap 8 minutes left before I'm out.

Zap~!

Azuna then took over and began to use Kotarou's (Demon Knight Yurei) ability to try and give Kaneki a bit more energy to give him more time.

Azuna: here this might give you some time.

Kaneki: Thanks.

Pierce!

Zap~!

Kaneki: Haa~ that's better, but... I guess it was useless.

The energy given was still not enough to recharge Kaneki.

Kotarou: So what are we going to do? Onee-chan can do whatever we can, and she doesn't seem to have a time limit to how long she could copy us.

Kaneki: Sigh~ is there anything we can do? So much for being called Omega Keizer.

Kaneki was feeling hopeless, even though there was no life on the line. Kaneki wanted to win so he could show how powerful he has become.

As he was feeling hopeless.

Flashback*

Kaneki: A better world shall be born, from the bond we share. I make this world for you."

Flashback end*

Kaneki suddenly remembered what he had done when he first transformed into Omega Keizer, when he kicked Ryueki.

Kaneki: Huh? Did you guys see that?

All 6: Yeah.

Kaneki: Heh I guess we know what to do right?

Kotarou: Yeah! Let's end this show with a bang!

With a plan now in mind, Kaneki and his other selves are ready to face Kotori and end their battle with her.

Meanwhile back at the Stadium*

Keiko: Yikes so much for a power up huh?

Querxes: I already expected this, but wow it's so shocking that happened so quickly.

Everyone was very shocked to how quick Kaneki had been beaten after his energy was nearly depleted by the combined attack he did with the Beast Knights.

Yuuka: Man it was going so well too.

Miku: it's honestly embarrassing to see Onii-chan run like that, but where could he and his other selves go?

Chikao: Yeah he only has a few minutes left until he goes unconscious.

Shino: I guess he can't win all his battles huh?

Natsuki: Yeah, I'm a bit sad to see him lose.

Sachi: Same here, he's probably gonna be so sulky after this loss. Ai-chan is just so strong.

The Higanbana girls were pretty much sure that Kaneki was going to lose since the odds were completely against him now.

But as we know even with the odds against him, Kaneki wasn't to back down.

Swoosh~

Boom!

Everyone: Huh?

Out of nowhere many fireworks were being launched to the sky creating a beautiful display of colorful lights.

"Hello! Hello World! This is Project Kizuna's very own Kotarou"

"And her real self Kaneki!"

Followed by a Broadcast of Kaneki's and his second Body's voice.

"And we have a special announcement!"

Kotori: This is getting interesting.

"Considering our time is now limited I made a decision TO CELEBRATE!"

Natsuki: Eh? Celebrate?

"I'm very thankful for everyone who helped me throughout the years, I wouldn't have gotten this far with out you all!"

"Seriously each and everyone of you guys helped me out so much, even today when I was in despair you guys reached your hands out to me. I don't know how to repay you guys"

Natsuki: Hehe~ Kaneki you don't need to do that.

Sachi: Even when he's losing he says stuff like that.

"This may not be much but I made a song, although I'm not exactly confident that it would sound good haha"

(Author: Same here Kaneki, Same here.)

Everyone: A song?

The Higanbana girls: A song?

Kaneki's decision to make and sing a song was a bit sudden that no one knew how to react.

Flash!

Kaneki & Kotarou: Let's start the climax!

Kaneki and his second body reappeared at Shimotsuki Park.

Kotori: Found you!

Swoosh!

As soon as they reappeared, Kotori charged straight towards them.

Kaneki & Kotarou: Huff~ Haa~

They both took a deep breath, a melody began to play and... They began to sing.

Kizuna no Ai by Kaneki Higanbana*

Song end*

Swoosh!

Once Kaneki and Kotarou began to sing they emitted a bright colorful glow from their chest and suddenly flew towards Kotori with immense speed and force.

Crash!

Kotori: ?!?!

This launched Kotori far away and upon crashing back to the ground, Kotori found herself in Korea.

Kotori: There!

Crack!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Upon seeing the two coming towards her Kotori launched her long-ranged counter attacks.

Swoosh~

But all of her attacks were being cancelled out as Kaneki and Kotarou got closer and closer.

Kotori's thoughts*

(What's going on? My copied long-ranged abilities aren't affecting him? In that case)

Seeing this Kotori decided to go physical.

Grip!

Kotori: Bring it!

Crash!

Thwack!

Punch!

Upon reaching her, Kotori started to punch the two but as they continued to sing her punches wasn't affecting them one bit.

Crash!

Kotori: Arrrgh!

Kotori them found herself in the other side of the world, in Egypt.

Kotori: Crap I need to do something.

Swoosh!

Seeing that her attacks were no longer working, Kotori began to try and outrun Kaneki and Kotarou in order for them to run out of energy and go unconscious.

Swoosh!

Kotori: Crap!

Despite being near their speed, Kotori couldn't get away from them.

Continuing to sing, Kaneki and Kotarou launched countless attacks at her, all made of a colorful flames.

Swoosh!

(This is going to be harder than I thought. although I have to admit I really like this song Kaneki-chan is singing.)

Kaneki, Kotarou and Kotarou all flew around the world very quickly.

Swoosh~

(Huh? Where is he going?)

Swoosh!

(Focus! He might be going for an ambush!)

During their chase in the sky over the Pacific Ocean, Kaneki suddenly flew off and separated from Kotarou leaving it to chase after Kotori while singing.

But where exactly was he going? Well..

Meanwhile*

Aiya: I can't wait to see our kids again.

Atsuo: Kaneki's new song is kinda relaxing isn't it?

Atsuo and Aiya were finally heading back to Japan after their long honeymoon while watching Kaneki and Kotori's battle.

Knock! Knock!

Atsuo: Huh? What was- Ehhh?!

Aiya: You're kidding right?!

Atsuo & Aiya: Kaneki?!

The place where Kaneki went to after separating from the battle was the plane his parents were in.

He noticed them as he chased Kotori.

Atsuo: My boy...

Atsuo couldn't help but be fascinated by his son who was beside the window.

He was glowing with many beautiful colors whilst still singing his song with such a beautiful voice.

Wave~

Swoosh!

Aiya: Hehe~ there he goes.

Atsuo: Go get her Kaneki!

After waving to his parents, Kaneki quickly went back to the fight.

His parents were overjoyed seeing him after so long.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

After reuniting with Kotarou, they were reaching the end of the song and began to slow down as they continued to fly around the world.

Glow~!

As they slowed down Kaneki's right leg and Kotarou's left leg began to glow as their powers were being concentrated around their legs.

(Now's my chance!)

Sensing that Kaneki was about to do something, Kotori began to concentrate all of her copied powers into her arm.

And was slowing down as well.

As they finished slowing down and preparing their attacks, they floated above Mt. Fuji.

Glow~!

Kaneki and Kotarou's were glowing with so many bright colors, and Kotori's arm was glowing a scarlet red.

Kotori: Omega Blast!

Beam~!

Kotori made the first move and shot a a scarlet red beam of power straight to the two.

Blast!

Swoosh~!

Kaneki and Kotarou was hit by the powerful beam, they were barely affected as they were slicing the beam using their legs as they were heading straight to Kotori in a kicking position.

Glow~!

Kotori: What?!

Getting closer and closer golden light began to emit from their body.

Swoosh!

"Woah~!"

And as they got closer, Kaneki's form began to be stripped off his body including Akuma Castle which was sent flying away.

Kick!

Kotori: ARGH!

Glow~!

Swoosh!

Upon kicking Kotori countless glowing golden lines began to shoot out of her back.

Kotori: Wait this is?!

Back in the Stadium*

Natsuki: Wow~

Sachi & Chikao: So beautiful.

The countless glowing golden lines all formed giant Higanbana flower, and inside these lines were visions of other worlds.

Kaneki: I'll love you for all eternity~

Boom!

After delivering this powerful kick, what followed was an explosion that consumed Kotori, Kaneki and Kotarou.

Crash!

And all 3 of them crashed down to the snow filled peak of Mt. Fuji.

???: Who won?

???: Hey look one of them is getting up.

As everyone was anticipating who had won.

Rise~

Kotori: Haa~ Haa~ wow that really hurts.

Kotori had gotten back up more physically tired.

Miku: Now way.

Yuuka: Not yet! Look!

Rise~!

Glow~

Kotori: Heh! Even with your energy completely drained and you becoming unconscious, you can still fight...

Kaneki and Kotarou both stood back up, with their eyes glowing a red and blue light.

Kaneki & Kotarou: ...

Kotori: Let's end this then, Kaneki-chan!

(Author: Hey everyone sorry it took so long for me to upload this chapter.

Thinking about the song I wanted to write for Kaneki to sing was honestly very difficult despite me already thinking about it already years back.

Yeah the song in this chapter "Kizuna no Ai" was already in my mind I think around 2 years ago? I don't really remember how long since it had been a a long time.

But I do remember it being around the time where the anime Kizuna no Allele had it's second season.

"Kizuna no Ai" was inspired by the song "Dive into 'i' from Alleles Project the same project where the anime came from.

Kizuna no Ai is definitely my favorite song that I've ever written, but even so I will still give credit to everyone in Alleles Project and the Vtuber Kizuna Ai for it because they are so awesome (my personal opinion)

You guys should listen to their songs too, I'll put a link to their YouTube channel on Author's thoughts so you guys could check them out.
