Searching - Fourth Day

Ooh, I bet you weren't expecting that last part! I love new characters, and there are going to be even more as I go! Hopefully, if things go good, I will introduce new characters for the next five to six chapters. They're important!

(Yes, this is jimin's 'serendipity' image that I am using)

NORMAL POV

The odd events of the morning seemed to be just the beginning of the rest of the day. Aoi decided it would be a good time to go and find the spirit that they had met, the one called... Jimin was it? Uruha was sure that was it. Did he want to go or did he want to stay? Neither knew because he was rather elusive.

But it made him wonder. What was he being warned about? Who was this person who he was supposed to avoid? Another demon that was even scarier than Aoi? Somehow that seemed hard to believe, but then again the raven was only a third level, and from what he understood, the second and first level demons are known as the Demonic Seraphims, or direct messengers of Hell.

So if it was any of those, they were surely screwed. How did that boy know about that anyway? How long has he been stuck here? Back then he didn't catch it, so maybe it was time to go looking for him. Hopefully, he would come back here soon, he didn't feel like confronting those demons in the other room. 

Aoi had gone off to find more places to safely go without interacting with the other demons, and Brianna was still asleep in her room. Ruki figured it was a good idea to let her sleep in and went off on his own as well. Which meant that besides Brianna, he was alone. When was the last time he was alone here? He didn't even remember anymore. He hadn't even seen or heard from Kai in while, and Reita was as sulky as ever, having been gone for the last few days.

Now, Uruha was not one to jump to conclusions, but he knew that it had something to do with Ruki. From what he understood, the two had a once romantic past but due to unknown reasons, they split apart. Rather bitterly too. Every time they were in the same room, the air around them crackled with tension thick enough to suffocate in. Yet Uruha knew that for Reita it was more personal than that. Reita's problem was that he was jealous of the girl for taking away Ruki's affection and attention. Ruki's problem was that Reita was too immature and needed to seriously move on. 

It was all just a jumbled mess of emotions and drama, both good and bad. He did not much care for any of that. Ruki's irritating attitude was going to rub off on him soon. 

He didn't even realize he was making a scowl until a sudden voice was snapping him out of it. 

"Your face isn't that flattering when you're scowling."

Uruha jumps in surprise, feeling his heart leap into his heart. 

"Whoa!"

He nearly faceplants on the floor, barely catching his balance just in time to grab onto his bed posts. That boy from before is there, hovering in a lounging position just over the black lounge situated near the bed. 

"Are you done?" he asks in a bored tone, still with that same lollipop in his mouth. 

"Where did- No, nevermind," Uruha growled and laid back on the bed. "Do you ever stop sucking on that thing?" 

The popping noise of the sucker leaving Jimin's mouth echoes in the room and he sighed. 

"No. Apparently I'm stuck with it since I died this way. I get sick of it too."

Somehow, the almost playfully irritating tone of his voice made Uruha want to believe otherwise. Scoffing he sits up and properly regards the boy, now able to see all his features even in such terrible sunlight.
