Thanks For Protecting Me . . .

Chapter Sixteen

Kaga is best boi

Shin POV

I can't believe that Hana apologized! I excepted it, of course, everyone makes mistakes. But I never expected her . . . Oh well. Me and Umeji hastily made our way to one of the storage closets and opened our lunches. 

"Hey can I come to your house? I kind of wanna talk to the possible ghost that showed you the knife." I requested.

"Oh sure! Do you have things like spirit boxes?" Umeji gushed. (said with exaggerated excitement just in case you don't know)

"Ok Thank you" I thanked him. He opened the lunch I had prepared him. It was very simple, just some rice, sushi, and konbu. He scarfed it down as if he hadn't ate in months. (konbu is kelp)

"This is soooo good Shin! Did you cook this?" Umeji questioned.

"U-uhm yea" I nervously laughed. He looked so shocked and surprised. 

"You're really good! I LOVE it!" He rambled on and on as if it was science and he was a chemistry student that truly loved chemistry. We ate and talked with each other, theorizing what the spirt would say. The bell rang and class started. It was truly boring, just her babbling about math.

"So does anyone know what this equation means?" She pontificated. I wanted to raise my hand and crack a joke but I didn't out of fear of the teacher giving me detention. No one answered so she called on me.

"Higaku do you know?" I stammered and said.

" I would crack a chemistry joke right now but the good ones argon" I had embarrassed myself! I hid my face waiting for the teacher to give me detention. Kaga laughed and soon the other students joined. I peaked out from behind my hands and saw the teacher laughing too. 'Was she not going to punish me?' I thought to myself. I pulled out my book and hid my face while reading. 

"Okay I have to admit that dad joke was really funny" The teacher laughed. "But we have to stay on topic ok?" 

"oookkkk" I whined. I had to keep this persona up so the other classmates wont think I'm weird. Class went swimmingly after that. The bell rang, signaling cleaning time had started. Kaga walked up to me! THE smartest student walked up to me! I felt my heart leap to my throat as he came closer.

"I really liked the joke you said during class! I didn't know you liked chemistry!" He ran his words together as if he was in a hurry. "OK I have to go now! Bye Shin!"

I mean he wasn't wrong I did in-fact like chemistry. Once cleaning time was over me and Umeji walked to my house so I could get the spirt boxes and stuff, then we walked to his house. 

"Hey where's you mom?" I asked.

"Good question. Ill text her- Oh she's at the store getting food" He responded as he opened his phone. I nodded as we walked inside his home. I Immediately put my stuff on the table and picked up the spirit box. It was quiet for two seconds until something said 

'You're here to see if its me who lead Umeji to the cabinet. The answer is yes. yes I did. I was burtally murdered with that knife. I only remember her last name, it was Saikou' Me and Umeji stood their, silent, and shocked. The name Saikou rang in my head. No way someone from the richest family in the world murdered someone. Then it spoke again . . .

 'if I say her nickname she'll come and I don't want her to do that'

"How? Is she still alive?" I asked

 'Yes you just can't see her unless you are apart of the Aishi family, then you can see her' It responded. 

"Hmm so did she do something to have that be possible?" 

'Yes she did a ritual so no one knew her name or face and it made her invisible, she did the ritual when she was 16 to 17. She was also12 when she killed me, I'm 18. She is very strong.'

"Oh I know that one, Its the Falusa ritual, one so overpowered you cant undo . . . not to mention it should be illegal" I sighed, this was going to be hard. The police would never find this killer if she was invisible! I could ask the Aishi's, that live right next to me, to help this investigation since according to the spirt they were they only ones that could see this killer. Umeji stood there like a statue, a mixture of shocked, scared, intrigued, and success was on his face.

"Can you spell her nickname out?" Umeji asked.

'F-U-N-space-G-I-R-L'  I quickly wrote that down. Fun Girl. Sounds like a child made that name up. I thanked the entity and turned off the spirit box. I looked at Umeji, nodded, and headed down to the police department. Umeji handed them the paper and texted them something? I looked over his shoulder to find out he had recorded it. 'Smart' I thought. A smile grew on my face, not a gentle one, a determined one. One of a detective that wouldn't give a case up no matter what cost, even if it cost their death.

(SORRY ITS SHORT I WANNA LEAVE IT ON A CLIFFHANGER THOUUU)
