"One flower, that's all it took"

More friends!?

||Y/n||

Another day started, and another student needed someone to listen to them.

A kid with blue hair came to me wanting to let out their family issues, I had searched their mind and witnessed their pain, their parents wouldn't respect them, and they were degraded constantly, like any decent person would feel I felt bad for them but I wasn't shocked with the news, it wasn't the first I've heard this.

In this day and age, I've seen how parents treat some of their kids like absolute garbage, how friends backstab other friends, and how society treats you for your looks and not personality wise.

I know how it is, I've gone through it too. We all have.

The student broke down into tears, I outstretched my arms letting them choose whether or not they wanted comfort, they came towards me and sobbed into my chest, slowly I kneeled to the ground helping the student lower down too, I gave them a gentle hug and rubbed circles on their back, they were in pain and had been hiding it for a while, they needed this.

I waited there until they felt they were done, they looked at me and gave me a weak smile, they were relieved of some of their pain. We waited there for a few more minutes before the bluenette stood up and thanked me, they bowed as another way to show thanks to me. I chuckled at the gesture, they weren't the first to do this.

They stood up straight and looked at me, relief in their eyes, I grabbed a handkerchief from my pocket and placed it in their hand before disappearing...

. . .

"Y/n where have you beeeeeeeeeen!" The apparition whined fake tears in his eyes with a shit grin plastered on his face

Please kill me...again

It had been a week since I had met the duo. One painful, yet fun week it was. I learned about how different life is now, and how it had changed since my departure from the world. Although I hadn't died long ago it seemed like many things were different, it's fascinating how quickly the world can evolve in a matter of years with the technology we have.

I looked at the apparition and sighed, "Well if you must know, I was fulfilling my duty as a mystery, unlike you I actually do my job." A dramatic gasp left him "I do, do my job! Every day somebody summons me and I go meet them! Just ask Yashiro!" He retorted, I nodded my head not really caring. As if on command Yashiro came through the door, and another person with orange hair and a strange staff followed.

"Oh Hanako give it up, I'm the only person who's summoned you in the last few years," Yashiro responded waving her hand at him in a carefree way, another gasp came from Hanako as he went to crouch in the corner. "And here I thought you'd have my back Yashiro" Nene ignored him and turned to me. "Anyways, Y/n I brought a friend of mine, meet Kou Minamoto!"

The said boy revealed himself from behind Yashiro, he flashed me a wide smile, and I did the same. "As you already heard, I'm Kou Minamoto!-" He said pointing to his chest, why did that name sound familiar? In a blink of an eye, he grabbed his staff which was disguised as an umbrella, and pointed it towards me, sparks coming out of it "-Member of the Minamoto clan!" Oh, that's right, Minamoto, one of the most powerful exorcist families, that would explain the staff then. 

I jumped at a spark that hit me and backed away, Kou noticed and immediately retracted the staff, reverting it back into an umbrella "Ah! Sorry, I was just trying to make a good impression, I hope I didn't hurt you." I waved my hand and smiled signaling I was fine, he sighed in relief before having a look of fear from the smirk I had put on, I disappeared and reappeared behind leaning on him, my arms slinking through his torso, and around his stomach letting them roam around his chest, causing him to blush hard. 

He radiates switch energy

He looked back towards me and our eyes locked, I searched his mind but unlike how I did with Hanako and Yashiro, I made sure to be discreet, he was a simple soul that just wanted to do good, he had a powerful brother who I know I should steer clear from and many friends, but a particular one stood out, it was a boy with pink hair, he seemed familiar to me as if I'd seen him around before, after looking more I found nothing worth interest and stopped and continued to examine him, his blush still remaining on his face. "Well nice to meet you, Kou, I'm Y/n L/n, it looks like we'll become good friends." He looked away, definitely a tsundere.

Our little moment was cut short before Hanako had coughed acknowledging his existence he kept his eyes to the ground, he looked annoyed, we looked to see Yashiro on the floor nose bleeding at the free yaoi scene in front of her. Kou immediately left my grasp to check on her, since I had been leaning on him I didn't have enough time to stand and started falling forward, I shut my eyes not wanting to see the ground meet my face. 

Then suddenly a pair of hands grabbed onto my torso and repeated the same thing I had done to Kou, seeing as how I didn't fall I took a breath of relief and looked back to see who had caught me, it was Hanako, my face heated up the same way Kou's did once I realized the position we were in, well...guess I was getting a taste of my own medicine.

"You should be careful of who you lean on," Hanako said, giggling at how flustered I looked, repeating the same thing Kou did, I looked away. Funny how the same scene was recreated twice.

I looked at Yashiro who now looked like she was gaining consciousness, Kou helped her sit up, and not even a second later she was back nose bleeding on the ground again once she caught sight of the scene with Hanako and me. 

"SENPAI YOU'RE LOSING TOO MUCH BLOOD!!"

. . .

The bell had rung signaling classes would be starting soon, the second Yashiro woke up Kou helped her get to class before running along to his, leaving me and Hanako alone. 

"Aww, and we were just having fun too," Hanako said, I mumbled out a sarcastic 'yeah' still looking away. Minutes passed before Hanako turned to face me, "So, what do you wanna do now?" I looked back and shrugged my shoulders, unsure of what to do I walked out of the bathroom without a word, hearing my feet hit the cold floor, Hanako's following soon after. 

We walked all around the school in silence with me as the leader and him as the follower, occasionally Hanako would ask where we were going to which I would respond with "I don't know yet." I figured if we walked around the complex we would find something or someone to talk to.

Sadly that wasn't the case, seeing as how there wasn't anything inside for us we went outside. We walked all around the area admiring the small fragment of the world we were able to see within the school's barrier. Eventually, we sat down under a tree surrounded by patches of flowers.

I lay down and gazed up at the sky "Ah yes the wonderful life of being a ghost. Constantly being bored out of your mind, and unable to leave the school" I said, a small chuckle leaving Hanako's lips, "Yup, pretty much, but it's not so bad when you have someone to spend it with," He looked at me, I sat up in a crouched position and looked at him and smiled, "Yeah you're right."

. . .

We spent the next few hours talking about how the world had changed, and the different times we lived in, of course leaving our deaths out of it, neither of us want to share.

Eventually, school ended. The sun started to set as we watched the students leave, Yashirou and Kou walking side by side talking about who knows what, before looking our way and waving their hands. Minutes after the gates were clear I stood up and walked towards it. I looked out to see the small piece of the world that was given. I outstretched my hand towards it, we could easily leave...

Zap

But we couldn't...

I grabbed my hand soothing it from the sudden shock, anger making its way to me.

Hanako came up to my side and put his hand on my shoulder I looked at him, his calming smile never leaving "Let's go back inside, there's nothing out there for us anymore, anyways.." I stood there, looking out again before looking back at him, "Okay.."
