Shake~!
Kotori: Heh the world is still shaking a bit huh?
Grip!
Kotori: ready whenever you are Kaneki-chan.
After being in the receiving end of Kaneki's most powerful attack one that could be called the "World Splitter Kick".
Kotori stood up on the snowy ground, facing her brother Kaneki who was unconscious but still capable of fighting.
And his second body Kotarou that was barely awake.
Back in the Stadium*
???: Wow even when unconscious, he's still capable of fighting?
???: It doesn't look like he'll hold up for much longer though.
???: Compared to him, Ai-san seem to have the upper hand.
Everyone watching were all anticipating on who would be victorious in their last stand.
Natsuki: Go Kaneki! You can do it!
Sachi: you can't lose now after showing us such a beautiful display!
Yuuka & Chikao: Go get her!
Miku: Don't let that homewrecker win!
Shino: Show her what you got Kane- wait what do you mean homewrecker?
The Higanbana girls were all cheering for Kaneki once more after seeing him stand back up.
Tohru: [Kaneki-chan is winning?! Go Kaneki-chan! That's my boy!]
Meanwhile~
Atsuo & Aiya: Kaneki! Kaneki! Kaneki!
And their parents were cheering for Kaneki as well.
Back at Mt. Fuji*
Raise!
As if responding to everyone cheering for him, Kaneki raised his right arm up alongside Kotarou.
Swoosh~!
Kotori: Huh? Again?
Hundreds of fireworks flew up high and lit up the sky around Mt. Fuji and then music slowly started to play.
♪♪♪~
Kotori: Wait... This music, it sounds familiar.
At the Stadium*
Sachi, Shino, Yuuka, Miku & Chikao: Wait isn't that?
Natsuki: Hmm?
But the music that slowly beginning to play sounded familiar to Kotori and most of the Higanbana girls.
Back at Mt. Fuji*
Burst!
Kotori: What is he doing now?
Swoosh~
Kaneki's second body, Kotarou had suddenly turned into flames and started covering him.
Darknen~!
And after the flames of his second body was completely absorbed by him, everything turned to complete Darkness and the music stopped.
Kotori's thoughts*
(Alright it's about to begin)
Knowing that Kaneki is about to make his move, Kotori braced herself.
And Kaneki, began to sing a song he would never forgot.
Our Bond by Project Kizuna*
When we are together we have the power to change the world~
When I was little I felt something that made me want to sing, little did I know, it was because of all of you.
Everyday with you~ was the most important moments in my heart.
I want to sing and dance with you, be it at this stage or home.
The fog in my head seems to fade~ whenever you're by my side.

Doubt creeps into my mind.

Because we have each other always~
Nothing will ever tear us apart~
Song end*
Swoosh!
Kotori: !!!
(I knew it!)
As soon as Kaneki began to sing he moved quickly, and with Kotori now powered down she can only rely on her physical strength to defend herself.
But that alone was difficult, at the every start of the song after Kaneki had charged and swung his sword at Kotori.
His entire body turned into flames and split apart into five balls of fire.
These balls of fire had immediately formed into 5 different bodies, and these bodies were.
The original five members of Project Kizuna; Sachi, Shino, Yuuka, Miku, and Kaneki/Kotarou.
These bodies all attacked Kotori in unison, each one wielding their respective Demon Knight relics.
The Dragon Scythe, Spider Sword, Kabuto Shield, Higanbana Blade and Liberator.
After splitting into these five bodies Kaneki began to sing "Our Bond" through these bodies, using their relics and their voices.
Each movement he made with these bodies resembled dance moves, ones that only he and the rest of Project Kizuna can do.
(This is so difficult!)
And with these movements Kotori couldn't predict, leaving her with many openings.
Burst!
Slash!
In addition as the song continues, the attacks were getting stronger and stronger.
Thwack!
Crash!
Kotori: Rage Cannon!
Blast!
Even when she uses copied powers.
Swoosh~!
Kotori: Really?!
They would be easily countered.
Thwack!
Crash!
Slash!
Crush!
Kotori endured as many attacks as she could but each time she was hit.
Kotori: Haa~ Haa~
Her energy was seemingly being drained.
(This is bad something is happening to me)
All 5: I would be lying if I said I never had fears about our future, I always fear of losing you.
(Heh I wish I could see them preform this song together, maybe even an updated one as well)
Though she was getting tired Kotori was still enjoying her fight to Kaneki, and the song he was singing in particular she was enjoying the most.
(Kaneki-chan... I won't lose to your love!)
Kotori: Fine! Let's end this!
Burst!
Kotori once more copied Kaneki's powers and concentrated them on her arms, engulfing them in colorful flames.
All 5: More and more-
Burst!
Kaneki: I want to be with you!
And at the same time, the five bodies had turned into flames, combined and turned back into Kaneki.
Swoosh!
Clash!
Slash!
Kaneki and Kotori began to exchange powerful blows with their sword and fist.
Clash!
Shake~!
Their clash shook the entire volcano, with each hit they made dealt huge damage to one another.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Burst!
But as Kaneki was reaching to the end of the song, he began to move faster and faster reaching the same speed he and Kotori had reached to travel around the entire world.
And his body burning with colorful flames.
Kotori: I won't lose that easily!
Kotori had caught up to Kaneki's speed and when it looked like they were even.
Kotori: It's my win!
Punch!
Swoosh!
She delivered one last powerful punch that sent him flying away.
Burst!
Kotori: Heh. You're kidding right?
But the flames covering Kaneki had turned into huge wings preventing from getting farther away.
Swoosh!
And they propelled him towards her, with Kaneki aiming his sword at her.
And at that moment.
(That's my little brother!)
Slash!
Boom!
Back at Shimotsuki Stadium*
???: Hey! Hey! What happened?! Who won?!
???: there's so much snow, I can't see anything!
Everyone watching was watching carefully, they didn't know who had won.
Swoosh~
Everyone: they're still standing?!
As the wind blew the snow away it revealed the two Higanbana siblings standing still.
Thud!
When suddenly Kotori had collapsed to the ground.
"Haa~ man that was rough"
Thud!
With Kaneki also collapsing as well.
Natsuki: Wait so who won?
Back at Mt. Fuji*
Kaneki: Uhhhh~ man I'm exhausted... Why is my back cold?
After falling onto the snow filled ground Kaneki had woken back up.
Kotori: Hey Kaneki-chan good to see you're conscious again.
Kaneki: Onee-chan? Um... Did I lose?
Due to being completely unconscious, Kaneki was very curious whether he won or not.
Kotori: Hehe~ nope you won while being unconscious, seriously you fought me while being asleep.
Kaneki: Hehe~ loser~
Kotori: Oi don't call your Onee-chan a loser! I fought with everything I got!
Kaneki: Just kidding~ hey what happened to my second body?
Azuna: Oh we've absorbed it, it's now technically part of our body now.
Kaneki: Really Azuna? Well that sucks. it was my greatest treasures.
Kotori: Well it's better than being stored in a basement for who knows how long, beside it gave you a new look too Kaneki-chan.
Kaneki: in another note... Onee-chan can you move?
Kotori: Hehe~ nope! My joints are completely locked in place!
Kaneki: Well crap me too!
Kaneki & Kotori: Hahahaha~!
The two siblings laughed at their current situation.
Kotori: Congrats on winning Kaneki-chan, also those were some nice songs you sang.
Kaneki: Thanks. But anyways, seriously we need someone to get us right now and unlock our bodies.
Kotori: yeah we need to get back home to Shimotsuki.
At Shimotsuki Stadium*
Chikao: Hey Querxes sen-
Swoosh!
Sachi: looks like he's on his way to get them now.
Keiko: that last song was amazing! But... Who were those girls that Kaneki turned into?
Itsuki: Yeah they seem very familiar.
Sachi: those four girls were me and the rest of Project Kizuna.
Natsuki: !!!
Immediately after Natsuki heard this she listened closely.
Keiko: really?
Sachi: yup. Although I'm quite surprised that Kaneki preformed it on his own, and it has been a long time since he last sang it. But I'm happy he hadn't forgotten about it.
Natsuki: So those girls are... Shiita-chan, Miyu-chan and Miha-chan?
All 7: !!!
Sachi, Shino, Yuuka, Miku, Keiko, and Itsuki were a bit frightened by Natsuki's unfriendly tone.
Sachi: Y-Yeah.
Natsuki: I see... When I see them I'm going to to rip em apart.
Shino, Yuuka and Miku: !!!!
Natsuki at that moment was very scary, she very dislikes those 3 names without knowing that those very girls are right by her.
Natsuki: Haa~ calm down Natsuki, remember your contract with Kaneki.
Natsuki calmed down after reminding herself of her contract with Kaneki.
"Hey you two."
"Hey Sensei"
Natsuki: well I guess Kaneki will be coming back soon, let's greet him when he returns.
Shino, Yuuka & Miku: ...
Shino, Yuuka and Miku all stared at each other with very stressed faces.
Crack!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH"
Sachi: Ai-chan?!
The tense atmosphere quickly disappeared with Kotori's loud agonizing scream.
At Mt.Fuji*
Kaneki: So how was it?
Kotori: My body feels like noodles~
Querxes: Heal! There that would soothe you for a while, now then you two let's head back to Shimotsuki
Kaneki: I can't wait to go home~
Kotori: let's go then.
Kaneki: Wait up I'm going to get Akuma Castle.
With the battle now over, Kaneki and Kotori prepared to go back to Shimotsuki and return home.
(Author: Hey everyone it's your boy again and this is technically the end of the W.S.S.F arc
Ngl this was the longest arc that gave me the most stress lol
The song in this chapter "Our Bond" was inspired by the song ShiningI by Pathlive from Alleles Project and they deserve all the credit. Seriously go check out Alleles Project they have a lot of good songs in that channel on YouTube.
And just like with the previous Chapters song "Kizuna no Ai" it was a song that thought about for a very long time.
Also last thing pretty sure I think ll be able to return to my old release schedule in the upcoming days.
And speaking of which the last remaining chapters of will be back to somewhat slice of life and probably even hint to a future arc as well.
Anyways thats all I have to say thanks for the continued support. Love y'all)
