Sexy Toilet Boy

She Shouldn't Mean Anything to You

"Hey, you're in this conversation too!" Hanako looks dead at you.

You shrug as the daikon-legged girl begins to make her way over to you.

"Are you okay?" she asks.

"I don't know..." shaking your head you sigh "No."

"Kou, do you know what happened?" he looks over to the blonde.

"No..." he murmurs back.

"What do you mean...?" she looks at you with concern in her big magenta eyes.

Kou moves in closer "I don't get it. Why is
Y/N running away?"

"I think it's because she's embarrassed. If I go talk to her, will you two knock it off?" she crosses her arms.

"Well..." the apparition scratches his chin as his eyes dart away.

"Well what?" she glares at him.

"Fiiiine. I never get to have any fun..." he pouts.

"Starting fights with people is not fun. It's immature." she flips her hair dramatically and exits the bathroom.

"If it weren't for senpai, I would exorcize you." Kou stares at the spirit sizing him up.

You anxiously and awkwardly pace the halls muttering things to yourself.

"What is wrong Y/N? You're acting kind of strange..." she reaches for your hand.

You explain everything to her as she listens closely, throwing in some advice every now and then. She is sweet, cute, and would probably make a good friend. Too bad you gave her the wrong impression. 

"Oh... Well I'm sorry." she frowns a bit as she reaches into her side pocket and pulls out a small pouch. "I have some of those rice cakes left over... Would you like one?" she smiles softly as she hands it to you.

Nodding your head, you pull one out and nibble on it.

"Is everything ok?" Kou exits the bathroom and begins to make his way over to you and Yashiro.

She looks at you and then walks over to Kou. "Uh, well Y/N is pretty distressed about what just happened."

"Ok, I see... Well Hanako thinks it's all his fault." he points to the bathroom.

"What?" she looks at him addled.

"Go see for yourself..." he gestures to the door as you turn to leave. "Hey Y/N, I'm not going to bother you, but if you need anything, just call me." he raises a hand to his ear making a telephone sign. His earing gently swings as the knuckle of his index finger lightly taps against it.

"Sure, thanks."

"Ok! But you know where Hanako is, so you should be just fine!"

"Hanako?" scowling you cross your arms. "He is the last person I want to see right now. I just made a complete idiot of myself!"

"I'm sorry... I was just trying to help." looking away he takes a step back, hurt at how upset you sound.

"Come here..." sighing you softly smile at him.

Without hesitation he sprints towards you.

Wrapping your arms around him you bury your face into his chest "I just needed one of these..."

Nodding, he returns the hug softly rubbing your back.

You pull away slowly "Thanks, Kou."

Placing a firm hand on your shoulder, he gently raises your chin so that both your eyes meet.

"I believe in you, Y/N. You will win Hanako over." he beams at you while giving a thumbs up.

Blushing you freeze and quickly avert your gaze from his.

Nodding he returns his hand to his side and turns to leave.

His words of encouragement ring inside your head as you hastily shove the heavy doors open and trudge outside. "Hah, yeah right. I'm nothing like Nene..." twirling a piece of your H/L H/C hair between your fingers you begin to make your way off the campus. Deciding you caused enough trouble for a day; you conclude it's best to just go home and forget any of this ever happened in the first place.

Stepping into the bathroom, Yashiro spots Hanako sitting in the corner of the windowsill muttering things to himself. His hat is strewn on the floor and his knees are pulled up to his chest.

"Hanako-kun, are you ok?"

"I made her mad!" he springs off the ledge into her arms.

"She's not mad." softly petting his head she embraces him.

"Are you sure?"

She smiles reassuringly "Yeah."

He looks at her with hopeful eyes.

"But she is not exactly happy either."

"Oh..." looking away, he lets go.

"Hanako-kun, do you really like me?" blushing she nervously fiddles with her thumbs.

'Well..." his cheeks turn bright red as he sheepishly scratches his head.

'Well, do you?!" she takes a step forward.

He smirks "Why yes, of course I do. After-all, you're my adorable little daikon-legged assistant." he pokes her nose causing her to stumble back.

"Oh... So, you don't have a crush on me...?"

"Well...not exactly..." he looks away, his face growing more red.

"EH? What do you mean? I thought you did?!"

"Ok. Yes. Yes, I have a crush on you Yashiro!" he covers his mouth.

"Hanako-kun..." she pulls him into another hug.

He hesitantly returns it.

"Like I said, she's not mad." letting go, she smiles. "But you seem popular, because girls seem to like you!" she giggles.

Grinning he leans in closer "Are you jealous?"

Pushing him away she shakes her head "No!" she looks extremely flustered.

"So, where is the kid?"

"I'm not really sure. Last time I saw him, he was talking to Y/N."

"I'm here." the blonde interjects.

"How long have you been there?!"

"Long enough..." he mutters then rushes out, leaving the two alone once more.

"Hanako-kun, I-I might like you too but..."

Reaching the school gate, you suddenly turn and freeze as a stranger approaches.

"Hey there, Y/N~" he winks.

"Huh? Do I know you?"

"Well..." he shakes his head then flashes a seductive grin. "No, but I know you."

Studying him you take a few steps back "Uh, ok..."

"So, you like that Hanako boy, hmmm? I never understood why such pretty girls such as yourself would ever be interested in such runts. Especially, when you could have someone much better."

"Wha-what the hell are you talking about?" you almost choke.

"Oh, no need to be so flustered, Y/N. I know~" he steps closer.

You momentarily go silent, desperately trying to gather your thoughts. "May-maybe I do! What's it to you?" gritting your teeth you glare at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just couldn't help but notice how upset you seemed earlier in the hall. All over an immature, unattractive, short boy." he swiftly grabs your hand, interlocking his fingers with yours.

Eyes widening you try to pull it away "He-hey!"

"You really shouldn't be jealous of a daikon being his assistant~ " he purrs as he leans in closer.

"Shut up! Shut up before I punch you!" you snap, clenching your fist at your side.

Using his free hand, he pulls your face closer to his so that your lips are only inches apart "I could make you feel so much more important. I'm much, much, better."

"Shut it! Just let me go dammit!"

"Sorry, but I can't do that, princess." yanking you forward he easily tosses you over his shoulders.

A boy who looks exactly like Hanako appears. "Oooo~ So you're the new girl who's been causing trouble!" he grins, two small fangs reflecting the fear in your eyes as he places a thumb to your forehead. "Time to go to sleep."

You pass out.

"Y/N!" the blonde shouts while darting towards the scene.

"Stay out of this kid." Natsuhiko warns.

"Oi? Did you want to play again?" Tsukasa floats towards him.

Kou tries to snatch you from Natsuhiko but is blocked by the spirit.

"I warned you." he rushes off with you as Tsukasa prepares to keep Kou busy.

Sniffing the air, he floats upside down "Hmm... You smell like Amane~"

"What have you done to her?"

Placing a finger to his chin he stares at him quizzically "Hm? All I did was put her to sleep. Don't worry. Mitsuba will have a playmate soon!" he smiles.

"Mitsuba! You have Mitsuba too?!"

"Of course, I do. Remember, I made him a powerful supernatural being. Which made me think... Couldn't I do the same to that girl too?"

"Tsukasa, if you put a finger on Y/N, I will make you pay!" he wildly swings his staff around.

"Don't worry. I won't make her suffer. Well...too much!" his smile turns to a demented grin as his kokujoudai start emitting a glow.

"Shut up!"

He giggles "How do you want me to kill her? I could stab her...slit her throat...drown her... Hey! I have a fun idea! What if I drowned her in a puddle of her own blood?!" He waves his hand dismissively "Wait no... I'm getting too excited... You decide!" he lifts him up.

"You bastard! I'll exorcise you first!"

Hearing the commotion from outside, Hanako and Yashiro decide to go check things out.

"KOU-KUN!" Yashiro shouts as her and Hanako rush over.

"OH! Amane!" dropping the boy, he floats over to his brother and hugs him.

Yashiro dashes to the blondes side. "What's going on?"

"He took her... He took her. I let them take her! I didn't even put up a fight..."

Kou falls to his knees in defeat.

"Wait what?" She takes a step back, her eyes widening. "They took Y/N? I knew I shouldn't have left her alone. I forgot that anyone who knows Hanako-kun gets into trouble..."

He looks away ashamed.

"It's not your fault, Kou-kun! She just knew too much...but..." clasping both of his hands in hers she deeply looks at him. "We will get her back."

"Tsukasa..." Hanako whimpers as his eyes widen with guilt and fear.

"Amane, guess what?!" he beams with excitement.

"What are you doing here?" pushing him off, he glares at him. He is not interested in his little brothers sick and twisted game.

"Well... I came here to snatch up that broad that won't leave you alone~" flicking his nose he giggles.

"Y/N?"

"Awww, are you not happy? She seemed kind of annoying..." pouting he floats higher.

"Tsukasa, bring her back!"

"But whyyyyy?" he groans. "I went through all this trouble to get her. Besides...you don't want her~ You can have that girl!" he points to Yashiro. "I'll take the new one~"

"Tsukasa! She has nothing to do with me!" he spits.

"I'm sorry Amane, but I can't do that. I need her."

"For what!?" Yashiro shouts.

"He's going to do the same thing he did to Mitsuba!" Kou snaps.

"I'm going to make her into a supernatural! But she won't be like Mitsuba. No...no...no... She'll be far more superior...because I'll kill her myself!"

Hanako's eyes widen "What did you just say?"

Smiling, he floats closer to him "I just said I was going to make her super powerful, and that I'd kill her!"

"Tsukasa, you're stepping on my bad side."

He cocks his head to the side "Why do you care so much? She shouldn't mean anything to you~"

Looking away from his brothers cat like eyes, he clenches his fist "I care because she's my friend. And she's a person, not a toy!"

"And I was your brother..."

A pained look etches its way onto number sevens face.

"Ah, yes. I love that look!" softly caressing his cheek, he rubs his lips. Slightly parting them, he gazes sensually at them. Hanako is speechless.

"You know, Amane...that girl you like... Have you ever kissed her? I heard kisses taste like lemons! Don't you want to find out?" he leans in closer.

"Do-don't change the subject!"

"It's not changing the subject! It's part of my plan. I'm going to destroy that girls reality. I'll make her think I'm you! I'll make her fall for me too. Then, I'll shatter her." he grins, disappearing into a puff of thick black smoke.

"We have to do something fast!" Yashiro exclaims.

"I saw the guy that ran off with her go this way!" Kou points behind him.

"Then lets try the basement!" Hanako adds.

The three take off running into the building.

You start to stir as you feel something cold and wet drip onto you.

"Wake up sleeping beauty~ Or shall I perhaps wake you with a kiss? "

Slowly opening your eyes, you begin to take in your unfamiliar surroundings. "Where am I...?"

Natsuhiko walks over to you. "Oh, you're finally awake." he pets your head. "I'm sorry princess, but Sakura said I had to do what the runt said..."

Looking down you notice that your clothing is different and that your usually braided hair is loose. "What the hell? What are you talking about?"

"As soon as Tsukasa gets here, we can get started." a girls voice says.

You quickly shift your attention to the strangers "Who the hell are you people? And what the fuck is going on here?!"

"I am Sakura, and this is Natsuhiko." she stares back with a deadpanned expression.

"Are you proud of me, my lady?" he rushes to her side, kneeling to kiss her hand.

"Personal space." she moves slightly, letting him fall to the floor.

"Aww, but princess..." he whimpers.

"Sakura...Natsuhiko...and Tsukasa..." you repeat over and over so you wouldn't forget them. But don't worry, you're not going too.

"Honey! I'm home!" another boys voice rings out from beside you. "So, Y/N? That's your name, right?"

Nodding you scoot away from him.

He holds out a hand "My name is Amane too, just like my brothers! But unlike him...I wont hurt you~" he smiles, flashing his fangs.

"You...you wont...?" slowly reaching for the hand you look at him with pleading eyes.

Meanwhile the trio starts to hear voices coming from a nearby room.

"I think I hear them..." the silver-haired girl says.

"Just wait." Hanako replies.

"Why?!" the blonde shouts.

Reaching into his uniform he glares at him. "His guard is up...."

"But if we wait too long, he's going to hurt her!" she yelps.

Kou runs off ahead of them to find you himself.

Tsukasa floats down to the floor, still holding your hand in his. "My brother is so naïve. Having a human girl liking him and doing nothing about it."

You slowly nod "I guess so...but he likes that Yashiro girl..." you trail off. Your eyes widen with fear as a hand quickly makes its way around your throat.

"SHUT UP! Don't mention her..." he growls.

"Ok..." clawing at his hands, you desperately gasp for air.

He momentarily disappears then reappears looking exactly like Hanako.
"Look Y/N. Do you like me too?"

Frightened you scramble back.

"Hey! I found you!" Kou chimes.

"Lets take a walk, dear." he picks you up bridal-style and disappears.

"So persistent." Natsuhiko smirks. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you interfere."

"Then I have to go through you!" Kou roars.

"Anything to protect my beloved!" Natsuhiko looks to Sakura.

Kou easily tackles him to the floor.

"Stop getting in the way, kid!"

"YOU are in MY way!" he smacks him across the head with his staff then runs back out of the room to search for you again.

You find yourself at the top of the school building, Tsukasa still carrying you in his arms. Before you can even register what is going on, you're tossed off the roof like a rag doll. Screaming in horror as you see the ground grow nearer and nearer, you shut your eyes tight preparing for the impact. This is it Y/N. This is how the story ends. There was never a point in putting your nose where it doesn't belong. This is what happens to people who search for answers. You don't get to graduate from high school. You don't get to see your friends again. You don't get to get married. You don't even get an open casket, because once your head hits the ground...its going to be one hell-of-a mess. Well, you wanted to die anyways, right? Just embrace it. It will all be over soon... Your life seems to flash before your eyes. "GAH!"

"See? I told you I wasn't going to hurt you..." he cradles you in his arms, smiling down at you sickly.

Your heart races with fear and anticipation as he swings you onto your stomach and dangles you from your ankles.

"Isn't the view much better from here?" he giggles.

You don't know if he means the view under your uniform or of the view from the roof. Before you can object, you're once again tossed. This repeats itself quite a few times. Each time you think you're going to die, only to be pleasantly surprised and horrified that you haven't.

"What are you doing?!" a startled Yashiro shouts.

"Hm? Can't you see I'm playing a game with Y/N~" looking down at her, he demonstrates by throwing you further than ever. "I'm my big brother, Amane, coming to the rescue!"

"You're...that's..." she stumbles over her words as she carefully backs away, now fearing for her own life too. "That's so twisted!"

Hanako appears beside her, his cloak billowing in the warm breeze.

"Hanako-kun, you've got to do something!" she looks at him with hopeful eyes.

"Oi! Amane!" his brother waves. "So glad you could finally join me again. Watch this!" with another swift motion he tosses you from the school building one final time.

"Y/N!" Hanako shouts as he lunges forward to break your fall. "Are you ok?!" he looks down at you, panting heavily as sweat drips down his face.

"Don't hurt me anymore!" you scream, bawling your eyes out as you try to break free from his embrace.

"Hey! Stop crying..." he descends to the ground, softly setting you down beside him as he starts to pat your head.

Shaking from the trauma you have just experienced you look up at him defenseless with tears streaming down your cheeks. "Yugi...? Is it really you this time...?" you manage to shakily ask through sniffles.

Giving you a pained yet relieved expression, he softly smiles "Of course." he then swiftly pulls you into him holding you tighter than ever before. "It's ok."

Hesitant at first you freeze, but feeling his secure frame cradling yours makes you unable to resist. Digging your nails into his back you pull him in ever deeper. "Ok..."

Finally, Kou arrives.

"Kou-kun! Are you alright?" Yashiro says, running over to his side.

"Yeah, he was nothing!" he replies confidently, obviously not telling the truth.

"Have you silly kids forgotten that I'm still here~" Tsukasa appears in front of his brother. "Give her back. Now." he outstretches a crooked hand, reaching towards you.

"No! Why would I?" Hanako shouts through gritted teeth as he pulls you in closer.

"Because..." he tries to snatch you back. "She's...mine!"

"No, she's not!" reaching for his knife he tucks you into his other arm.

"Yes, she is! Give her back! Give her back! Give her back!" throwing a tantrum, his kokujoudai attack from every direction.

Slicing through each attack he glares at him. "NO!"

"I don't want to go back with you!" kicking at his hands you scream as he keeps trying to pull you away.

Hanako starts to play keep away.

"I'm getting tired of asking you, Amane. I'll ask one more time. Give me the girl..."

"I'm getting tired of telling you, Tsukasa. You can't have her!"

"Fine. Then I'll just have to take her!" leering at him he lunges forward.

As things start to really heat up Kou and Yashiro discuss a plan.

"Kou-kun. I don't know if he'll give up, so we need to get to someplace safe."

"Do you know if Hanako can get rid of his seal?"

She shakes her head "No, I don't know anything about theirs. But I think they are the only ones who can remove them. Our best bet would probably be to hide for now."

"What? Senpai, I'm sorry, but we can't just leave Hanako to defend Y/N on his own."

Sighing she rubs the temples of her head "Right. What was I thinking...?"

"It's ok."

"Then I have another idea, but it's much riskier."

"I live for risks."

"If we can distract Tsukasa, Hanako can probably take Y/N to an undisclosed boundary. I'm not saying it's going to work. All I'm saying is, it will definitely buy them some time."

"Hanako! Can you take Y/N to a boundary?"

"Well..." he falters, averting his eyes.

"It's alright, I'm sorry..." you mumble while burying your face into your hands. You feel like you're such a burden.

"We will distract Tsukasa in the meantime!"

Nodding his head, he encases you into his cloak and runs into the building.

"Huh? What happening?" unable to see what was taking place you were curious and fearful.

"Shh... Don't worry, you're going to be ok. I'm taking you someplace safe."

"Someplace...someplace...sa...fe..." cold fingers softly press against your temples as you drift off.

The blonde fumbles his hands along the ground, searching for something to use. "Ahah!" picking up a decent sized rock, he chucks it at Tsukasa.

"Oh, you want to play too?" he sings.

Yashiro joins in by also throwing various resources she can find strewn about the grass. "Just give up, Tsukasa!"

"Whatever but make this quick. I need to get my new toy back~" grinning at the two he attacks.

Kou responds by throwing bigger objects.

"Hang in there Kou-kun!"

He tries to dodge the attack, but it is too fast. "AGH!" he hits the ground with a thud, rolling halfway across the field.

"Kou-kun!" she reaches for a large stone, launching it at her opponent.

Blood starts to trickle down his forehead and to his neck. "Stupid girl...I'll make you pay!" glaring at her with crazy eyes he charges straight at her.

"STOP!" Kou commands as he rams him into the dirt. "Senpai, are you ok?!"

Catching her breath, she nods "Yea... Let's get out of here!"

"And don't call Yashiro-senpai stupid!" he punches him.

He laughs manically fading away into another cloud of thick smog.

Pain shoots through his hand. "Is there more we can do?"

"No, we just have to get away! C'mon!" grabbing his hand, she pulls him up and heads towards the school.

"Right!"

"Hanako-kun?"

"Over here!" the spirit shouts, but they aren't able to quite pinpoint where the voice is coming from.

"I don't know where you are...but just get
Y/N someplace safe. We'll find you later." she shouts back.
