Reo watches Kuroko before he leans to Kasamatsu and Imayoshi. "We must watch him closely. His aura. It's starting to turn like his."
"No. He had so much hate. Kuroko has forgiveness in his heart." Kasamatsu whispers.
"So did he until he continued to watch." Imayoshi whispers.
"Then we need to send him back soon." Reo whispers. "But how?"
"We have to try to convince him that he should go back." Imayoshi whispers.
"He really wants to see them change though." Kasamatsu whispers as he turns to look at Kuroko only to see him gone. "Eh? Kuroko?" Kasamatsu looks around.
"Yes Kasamatsu-san?" Kuroko appeared in front of him, Imayoshi, and Reo who all gave him a surprised look.
"Don't do that dear." Reo sighs in relief.
"Sorry but you three were talking about me. Who am I turning into?" Kuroko asks.
Imayoshi sighs. "I guess there's no point in hiding it. There was another spirit with us. Another person with you all."
"Another person?" Kuroko looks at them confused.
"Yes. His name is Shogo Haizaki." Reo says softly.
The rest of the guardians look at him.
Kuroko's eyes widen. "Haizaki-kun but he's not dead. He just called me a few days ago."
"It was his spirit." Kasamatsu explains, "You remember your second year right? Right after Kise came?"
Kuroko nods. "Haizaki-kun transferred to another school at the end of the year due to his mom's work."
"That's what he told you, but in reality he was kinda forced to leave." Imayoshi says.
"Sei-chan made him leave and well he was fighting and got himself in a coma too." Reo says sadly.
Kuroko's eyes widen. "W-what? But how? But he's called me. He's messaged me!"
"His spirit was able to take control of phone. This is because he's a vengeful spirit. He wants to get back at Akashi and Kise for making him leave." Kasamatsu says.
"But I don't get it. Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't he-" Kuroko's eyes widen before he looks at Kagami. "That day. He was trying to warn me."
Kagami nods. "Yeah."
Kuroko looks down. "I ignored him. I didn't listen."
"You didn't know." Kagami says. "He didn't tell you."
"But I should have looked into it. I didn't want him to go." Kuroko shakes his head. "Is he..."
"Dead? Technically once you become a vengeful spirit your body stays in a coma. Unless someone pulls the plug or you get your revenge." Imayoshi explains. "But he's not dead yet."
"Where is his guardian?" Kuroko asks.
"He's locked away." Himuro sighs. "When your human becomes a vengeful spirit, we get locked away for failing."
Kuroko looks at his old friends. "I need to find Haizaki-kun. I can't let him stay like that."
"Kuroko we can't let you go near him." Reo says.
"You can get some of his negativity. No you need to return to your human body. Maybe you can help them." Kasamatsu says.
"No. I won't leave without him." Kuroko disappears.
Reo sighs. "Kagami go find him we can't let him lead Haizaki back here."
Kagami nods and disappears.
"You guys shouldn't have talked about him." Takao says. "This time you guys messed up."
"We know." Imayoshi sighs. "We better see if we can get him out."
"I'll go." Reo says before disappearing.

Kuroko looks around. He was at a burger joint. It was closed and dark but he could see. This was the last place he saw Haizaki. 'Maybe he's here?' Kuroko looks around. "Haizaki-kun! Are you here?!" He calls out.
"Tetsuya?" He heard a familiar voice behind him.
Sitting on a booth was a tall, messy grey haired man with sharp grey eyes. "Is that you?"
"Haizaki-kun." Kuroko says and goes to him. Kuroko could see a dark aura surrounding the spirit. "Haizaki-kun why didn't you tell me?"
Haizaki blinks before laughing. "We're both in spirit form and that what you ask?"
Kuroko looks at him a bit annoyed. "You were the one who lead me to believe you were still alive. What were you going to do if I had asked you to hang out?"
Haizaki looks at him and smirks. "I don't know but I would have come up with something. Now the real question is why are you here? What happened?" He motions him to sit with him.
Kuroko looks and sits down. "A car hit me."
"That doesn't explain why you're here."
"You were right." Kuroko looks away. "I didn't listen to you. You were right."
Haizaki looks at him. "Did they cause this?"
Kuroko nods.
Haizaki growls. "I'll kill them."
"No! There regretting it. Well I think they are." Kuroko says.
"They don't regret anything Tetsuya." Haizaki says as he pulls him close.
"What do you mean." Kuroko looks up at him.
"Here let me tell you what happened." Haizaki holds him
