IDENTITY

We came to return the boy's I.D to his address.

"He lives in this apartment? It looks like a dump."

"The only problem we have is to know which room he lives in."

We knocked on several doors, in hope they know something about him. We knocked on a mother's door. "Oh, that's Fukushi-san. He lives in the room above me. Causes a ruckus every night." She said then slammed the door shut.

"What are these people's problems?!"

"What's important is that Fukushi-kun's room."

We took the stairs to the second floor and knocked on room 203. Fukushi-kun's room. "Hello? We came to return your property. We're the people from earlier. Mind letting us in?" Matsumoto-kun said.

A sound of scream was heard inside his room.

"IT'S NOT YET READY!"

I was certainly frightened. I was shocked. Was that the airhead we met earlier, or is it someone else? "Fukushi-kun?" Loud footsteps were heard from the inside towards his door, then it silenced down. "Fukushi Shiro, that's you right?" I said. The door slightly opened, letting the cold air from his room out to us.

"That's not my name..."

He completely opened his door, and everything was a mess. Papers were scattered everywhere, juice was spilled on the floor. Laundry were on the ground. "I'm Fukushi, but I'm not Shiro." He creepily said. "Do you mind letting us in? We returned your I.D." I said and handed his I.D to him.

His creepy face altered to something cheerful.

"You were the people earlier! Nice to have you here. Come!"

Matsumoto-kun and I went inside and he slammed the door behind us. "I do not get enough visitors since dad has died." Fukushi-kun said. "Who was your dad?" Matsumoto-kun asked, but Fukushi-san frowned. "Want some juice?" He asked and regained his cheerful smile.

As long as it's not his personal life, he's calm.

The moments pass by, and I'm curious about Fukushi-san. Why did he tell us that 'Shiro' wasn't his name? What does he call himself? I should ask that. But, if I ask it, wouldn't he cause some ruckus again? It shouldn't be that painful. I have to take the risk.

"Fukushi-kun, what is your first name?"

"Odd question, but it's okay if I tell you...probably."

He sat down on the couch with us and sighed. "My name is a blessing given to me by my father. He tells me everytime it's my one and only name!" Fukushi-san was back to his creepy state.

"What is it?"

"Zero~!"

Instead of us finding him, he found us instead.
