15.1 twisted green

Furukawa Ibara—

She had been born to a good family. Parents were loving and cared greatly for her, her cousins were nice and the rest of the family wasn't that bad either. Despite being gifted with the sight to see apparitions and the supernatural, Furukawa Ibara had somehow always yearned for more.

"She's growing and learning rapidly. Sometimes it's hard to tell what she's thinking."

Her parents had complained about this to her grandfather once. He was the head of the Furukawa clan, something she hadn't learned of until she was old enough to read properly. It was then that she had also been given lessons about the supernatural and how to properly deal with them.

The Furukawa's had once been part of the prestigious Minamoto clan before officially branching off into their own family clan. The rich history that had preceded them was not continued.

As the Furukawa clan had decided to take care of the vampire clans, once they were all gone, so would the purpose of the clan. And yet,

"Noooooooo! I don't wanna see those things! They're weird! My classmates call me crazy cuz I tell em there's a ghost there."

As a child, she hated being able to 'see'. She couldn't turn it off and she had been the unfortunate child to receive this gift. Her older brother had been lucky enough to not receive it. As the family no longer dwelled into supernatural affairs, there was never any formal training after their grandfather had undergone training. Thus, her parents had never gotten training much less asked their children to undergo it either.

However, because of the long history the family had, they still held sight towards the supernatural.

That had undoubtedly not disappeared and it created more problems for the children who couldn't ignore the extra things they saw. Ibara had always been a curious child but even these things, they were far too much for her.

That is, until she heard about a certain distant relative of hers. A certain Minamoto prodigy who could easily take down strong supernaturals despite being only a child himself. She hated him, he was praised for practically nothing and she, she was called crazy for pointing out what others could no longer see.

She was envious of him, putting it shortly. How could someone her age be so powerful while she was so, so weak.

Throughout her elementary and junior high years, she would constantly change schools. The stress of having sight to see supernaturals but not having enough willpower to ignore them made her an easy target not only for apparitions but for her human classmates too.

It was why during her enrollment into Kamome Academy was such a big deal to her. She'd finally be able to see the person she had to surpass and maybe also surpass him, even if just in academics.

However, contrary to her expectations of herself, she could not reach his level... This was a rather heavy blow to the young girl. At the time, before Yumeko's transfer, she had pulled Teru aside to confront him about the issue, wanting to put her intentions clear however,

"Um, I'm sorry but I'm not interested in dating right now. I also have someone I'm already interested in." He rubbed the back of his neck, without even having allowed the girl to talk. In his hands, he held a cute, pink envelope. Oh, wait--

With a bow in apology, he turned and left not even allowing Ibara to explain that wasn't why she was here for. From that day on, she wanted nothing more than to take down the eldest Minamoto child a peg or two. She scoffed when she heard people talking about him in the corridor and even in class.
