Apparition 9: The Rumor

Tsukasa's POV

"Hey Daikon!" I greeted her with a hand raise, but she returned it with a flying shoe on my face.

"Don't you dare call me that again!" I was on the floor as she frowned at my greetings and I stood up.

"Come on, I've received a complain from you. You weren't mopping the floor in our promised time. You left it in the midway" when I said that her face responded with widened eyes.

Suspicious.

"Ain't I right?" I stepped closer to her, she was scared by my mean look.

"Because... I finished early. And I received a call from my home" she lied, which was easy to catch.

"But number 2 told me that you stopped at ground for a long while?" I took my Koku joudai in hand, making her sweat in fear.

"For my plants!" She answered as my eyes went wide.

"You know something strange happened at the meeting. I've gotten a glimpse of those white orbs" when I said that, her eyes went wide and she started watching me.

"Yes, in the meeting I just went at the left side of table to fill my o-choko (sake glass) and then I saw the white orb having green center, but suddenly he fled out of the room" I told her.

"But he was with me in the ground!" The sentence slipped from her mouth and she grabbed her mouth in shock.

"I-I mean"

"So you know him, Amane is with you" I went closer, and grabbed her cheeks using my fingers.

"N-No Tsukasa kun" tears started flowing from her eyes which went through my fingers. I caught the suspect.

Tsuchigomori's POV

That drink is hard. When I was alive the sake never kicked in that hardly. It needed me to being carried by other Akane to my underground room.

"This brings up memories" I told Akane, the servant of no. 1 who carried me to here.

"Come on, you drunk so hard and they forced me to pick you. Even Mokke didn't help me" he said with narrowed eyes, still moving his shoulder joints by the pain.

"Not about that brat. I'm talking about the one who was supposed to me my leader..." My eyes filled with memories of that lost child.

"Oh sorry... I saw him once.... In the devil's court"

"Yes, that injustice is the reason why we call it devil's court" I rested my head in my arms.

"Can you tell me why he's so close to you? I mean if you're okay with that" he asked, with a gentle smile I pulled a rock, it's something more than a rock.

"Hm... I will. I wanted him to be with me, but due that one decision... That brat is gone... Forever..." I almost lost in my thoughts, the nostalgia to take his care.

"Ok. So..." I coughed once and started telling the story.

*Hanako's Past*

"So that's why you're so close with him Spider San?" Akane asked.

"I'M TSUCHIGOMORI. He died at a very tender age. I wanted to see him become a teacher... Like me" my voice was trembling by the memories.

"The only historic thing he did was changing his future" I added, as his lips formed a smile.

"He was on do or die situation. No. 7 barely handled to win the case, and he won that's why Amane needed to leave this place otherwise he'd be the number 7" Akane tried to heal my mental wounds as I smiled at him.
