⸺ Mitsuba Sousuke
Woah!! I saw ur Minamoto HCS post, can u do mitsuba hcs when he met a supernatural (reader) that actually cares and understands him ? :3 nothing too specific, I js need some fluffs for my boy mitsuba !!
A.N: Of course! Mitsuba might just be the most underrated tbhk character😭
Mitsuba with a supernatural reader who understands him
Good lord you must have a lot of patience/hj
You both either met through Kou or just ran into each other
Okokok x lalalala type of ship
At first he thought you were just a weird apparition and kind of left you be
He had to admit he was curious about you
Then one day he saw you by the garden picking at the flowers
Normally he’d yell but something in him stopped himself
It was HORRIBLY awkward
Thought you were too nice like you were faking it
Soon enough after sometime it was clear that you were truly a kind person
He felt safe around you
So he decided to spend more time around
And since you’re both ghosts that’s basically a lot of free time to hang around with
You were interested in his passion for photography and even chose some pretty places for him to take photos
He felt like he’s been understood by you
You made sure that his mind was always on the right track and never pushed him to do things he didn’t want to
Used you as a barrier for Tsukasa
Tsukasa DOES not fw you
You made stuff boringgg
Sakura fw you tho, so that’s cool
Overall Mitsuba is very grateful for you and hopes that he does the same for you that you do for him💕
Chapter 7 — “Forbidden.”
Summary : Days pass from the Hell of Mirrors incident, you can’t stop thinking about it. Hanako is no help, so what better option than to drag Kou with you!
Warnings : Not much, minor cursing here and there, reader going a bit manic and expressing signs of PTSD at some point, obvious implications that reader is female (ex. Use of she/her pronouns, etc.), mood swing-ish reader.
( A / N ) : I tried not to procrastinate but I got busy with work and stuff so I didn’t have much time. I didn’t let myself sleep tonight till I got this out. I will try my best to be more consistent with chapters and at least get these things posted every other week. This is proofread so enjoy!
Prev. >>> Next (not available yet)
A couple days have passed since the Hell of Mirrors incident, and you’ve tried to find for another way back in. You tried every mirror possible, but none would budge. Hanako didn’t care much either, he said to just leave it alone for now and they’d figure it out another time.
Even Kou seemed a little odd about it. He wanted to see Mitsuba too, but it was like at the same time he was avoiding it. Part of you understood him though, you knew what it felt like to be forgotten before, and it was certainly not a good feeling.
“Can you hand me the sugar?” Satou asked, looking over at you.
You finally had snapped out of your thoughts, “Sorry, what was that?”
Satou chuckles “The sugar, can you pass it to me?” He repeats.
“Oh, yeah.” You nod, eyes scanning over the counter before finding the sugar. “Sure.” You grabbed the bag of sugar, and a measuring cup.
“We need one and a half cups of sugar.” Kou mumbled, eyes scanning over the list of instructions.
You nodded, and scooped up a cup of sugar.
Satou looked over at Kou, and Kou only shrugged.
“(Y/N), are you okay? You seem a bit zoned out..” Satou finally spoke.
“Yeah, just tired.” You excused, pouring the sugar. It was more than just being ‘tired’ — you were anxious. You wanted to see Mitsuba again, talk to him. But you didn’t know where to find him — and the Hell of Mirrors was not an option anymore because you couldn’t get in. Maybe you could ask Yako again?
“(Y/N).” Satou panicked “T-That’s too much sugar.” He yelped, quickly taking the measuring cup from your hands.
Flinching, you snapped back to reality “Shit— I’m sorry..” You muttered, pinching the bridge of your nose with a sigh.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Satou frowned, putting a hand on your shoulder “Usually you’re the one who’s the most focused out of all of us.”
“Yeah, I am, don’t worry about me okay?” You assured him with your signature smile “I’m just tired.”
Satou eyed you suspiciously, then glanced over at Kou who in turn only shrugged his shoulders. He then sighed, letting his hand drop back to his side.
“We’re your friends, don’t forget that okay?” Satou offered you a smile “So don’t feel like you have to hide anything from us. If you’re not feeling good you can tell us.”
“I know, I know,” You sighed, leaning forward and propping your elbows on the counter, burying your hands in your hair “—I’m okay, I promise. If I’m not, you guys are the first people I’m going to.”
Satou was skeptical but didn’t push the topic, nodding and going back to the batter. “We need to put in a little bit more of each ingredient to make up for the extra sugar.”
There you stood, in front of the mirror in the girl’s bathroom. Your hands holding onto the sink, staring into the mirror as if doing so would magically bring Mitsuba back.
“How long has she been there?” Yashiro asked, walking in through the bathroom doors and setting her bag down by the entrance.
“A while.” Hanako shrugged, he’s too busy playing hanafuda with the mokke again to care.
“Well you’re no help.” Yashiro sighed, walking behind you and placing a hand on your shoulder.
Your gaze didn’t falter, staring intensely at the mirror. “You think Yako will help me get in again?” You asked before Yashiro could get a chance to speak.
Yashiro raised an eyebrow “Again? By yourself? I-I don’t think..”
“I dunno, I don’t think so.” Hanako shrugged a second time.
You frowned, finally turning around to look at Hanako instead “Are you sure?”
“I doubt it but you can try.” Hanako simply replied, glancing up from his cards for a second to look at you before focusing back on his game. “She probably will if you keep asking her to the point of annoying her, go give it a try.”
Yashiro looked between the both of you “I.. um.. she shouldn’t be going alone, if that Tsukasa guy shows up, she could get seriously hurt or something.”
“Then get the kid to go with her.” Hanako suggested “I’m sure she’ll be fine. That Mitsuba.. (Y/N) was the only one he was trying so hard not to hurt.” He noted, “So I’m sure she’ll be fine. Worst case scenario, Mitsuba will probably just send her out again.”
“But—“ Yashiro tried to protest, concerned for your safety.
“Okay, thanks Hanako, bye.” You shouted as you grabbed your bag and ran out the door.
Yashiro frowns “Hanako, and if she gets seriously hurt?” She would feel responsible, having gotten close to you since the whole spiritual thing, she saw you as her younger sister.
“She won’t, she’ll be fine.” Hanako assured, placing his cards face down onto the space next to him and standing up “Now come on, you have to get to cleaning toilets!” He beamed, teasingly nudging her.
Yashiro’s frown deepened.
“Kou, Kou, Kou!” You called out, running up to said boy, who was currently with Satou and Yokoo.
“Oh, hey (Y/N)!” Yokoo hums, smiling at you with his signature smile.
“Hey Yokoo, Kou, come with me I need to do something.” You grabbed the sleeve of his shirt, tugging on it.
“(Y/N), are you okay?” Satou asked, raising an eyebrow at your eager.. whatever it was.
“Yes, yes, I’m fine.” You half heartedly answered, brushing them off. “Now let’s go!” You began practically dragging Kou with you, who in turn yelped.
“Oh okay..” Yokoo muttered, glancing at Satou.
“No idea, she was like this earlier, except zoned out.” Satou shrugged. “And she wouldn’t budge when I asked her what’s wrong.”
Yokoo pursed his lips, obvious concern written all over his face. “She.. it’s gonna affect her not letting anyone know.”
“Yeah.. I know. I tried getting her to open up but she kept saying it was nothing. It may just be nothing, but we’ve known her for a while to notice this pattern.” Satou mumbled. “I just hope it doesn’t get as bad as last time..”
“Let’s not look too much into now though. If she’s not okay, we have to trust she’ll come to one of us or all of us. And if she says she is we have to trust her on it, even if we think she isn’t.” Yokoo shrugged, fidgeting with his sleeves.
“Yeah I guess you’re right,” Satou sighed “I just wish she’d tell us what’s going on.”
.
.
“So what are we doing exactly?” Kou asks, trying to keep up as you sped through the halls.
“Yako, we’re going to Yako.” You look behind at him for a moment before looking straight ahead again “I wanna see Mitsuba again.”
Kou flinched and froze in his tracks, making you stop as well. He pursed his lips.
“What’s wrong?” You asked, you didn’t try to pull him along — not wanting to force him.
Kou frowns, looking away. “What’s the point if that guy won’t remember me anyways?” He mumbled, pulling his sleeve from your grasp.
Your gaze softened “Kou.. just because he didn’t recognize you doesn’t mean he doesn’t remember you.” You sighed, moving to wrap your arms around his torso.
Kou went stiff momentarily, then relaxed, his arms coming around to wrap around your waist as he buried his face into your shoulder, trying his best not to stain your school uniform with his tears — his shoulders trembled.
“I’ve got you.” You assured, leaning your head on top of his. “I promise, we’ll get him to remember you.”
Kou chuckled dryly “You can’t make that promise you know.”
“I know,” you smiled “—but I sure as heck can try to fulfill it.”
Kou took a deep breath, smiling. “So then what’s holding us up?” He asks, wiping the last of his tears with his wrist “Let’s go find us a kitsune.” He grinned.
“Nope, nuh uh, I won’t do it.” Yako frowned, crossing her little fox arms across her chest. “I only did it for number seven because it was emergency — I’m not gonna do it just say cause you say so.”
“But this is an emergency.” You insisted.
Kou joined in “Yeah, we’re on a mission to—“
“Find that ghost boy friend of yours? If he doesn’t wanna let you in you know he’s not gonna.” Yako sighs, trying to make herself comfy in the bookshelves.
“Yako, please. I.. I know you probably wouldn’t understand but this is important.” You pleaded, “All we wanna know is if he’s okay.”
Yako paused for a moment, thinking deeply on whether she should or shouldn’t. “Hmm..” she hums, her eyes shifting from you to Kou and then back to you. “Fine, but this is the last time I help you.” She sighed, finally giving in.
You and Kou both smiled widely, glancing at each other and looking at Yako again. “Thank you so much!”
“Don’t mention it, but this is the only time I’ll be helping you out!” Yako insists, when really she has a soft spot for the two and she definitely would do it again.
.
.
“Well, here we are.” Yako hummed, back to the liquid mirror-like portal from before.
You brought your hands up to slide them across the surface, watching it create ripples under your fingertips. “Last time we were here I got sucked in.” You mumble, dipping your hand in the mirror and flexing your fingers before removing your hand and letting it rest at your side again.
“Not this time, fortunately for you.” Yako pointed out, you hadn’t gotten forced in.
“So..” you turned your gaze to Kou “Here goes nothing, right?”
“Yeah.” Kou nodded, taking a deep breath in.
Three…
Two..
One.
Suddenly you were falling, reflections all around you with people — no, they weren’t people — entities of people you both knew laughing and mocking you both. Kou reached for you, holding you close to him as he protected your head. It started to get brighter and it felt like you were getting closer and closer to the bottom. That was what it felt like, until..
“Jeez, are you trying to get yourself killed?” A familiar voice scoffed.
You both found yourselves caught in the hand of a bony limb as it moved you towards one of the floors, and that’s when you saw him.
“Mitsuba!” You immediately cried, running towards him and throwing your arms around him.
“H-Hey, I get I’m cute and all but there’s no need to cling to me you perv!” The boy in question yelps, but there’s no denying the way he reluctantly wrapped his arms around her waist and the flush of his cheeks.
“He didn’t hurt you did he?” You asked, bombarding the poor ghost with loads of questions “Why didn’t you let me back in you jerk.” You pouted, punching his shoulder.
“Ow, ow, ow! I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Mitsuba laughs, feigning hurt. “And no, I’m not hurt.”
“Good, you better not be.” You sighed in relief, letting yourself relax a bit.
Mitsuba looked behind you to Kou “Oh.” He muttered, making eye contact with the other “It’s you again.”
“Yeah, it’s me again.” Kou repeated, shifting from one foot to the other a bit awkwardly.
“What.. what’re you guys even doing here?” Mitsuba asked, gently grabbing you by the shoulders to push you off a bit.
“I dunno, we just wanted to visit I guess?” You shrugged, it was an obvious lie and a good cover up but Mitsuba seemed to buy it.
“Visit the Hell of Mirrors? Really?” Mitsuba lets a laugh-like scoff slip past his lips. “Yeah this isn’t really the type of place you’d want to visit.”
“..definitely.” You nod, “Okay fine, truthfully we just wanted to see you.”
“We?” Mitsuba inquired, raising an eyebrow as he looked between the two of you.
“You remember Kou, right?” You asked, grabbing Kou’s arm and linking it with yours. “He was your friend too.”
Mitsuba narrowed his eyes at Kou and frowned “Sorry, doesn’t ring a bell.”
Kou sighed, rubbing his forehead “Figured.”
Boy.. this might take a while.
.
.
The three of you ended up talking to pass the time, flipping through the pages of the yearbook from which Mitsuba had photographed the pictures within it, all that he did not seem to remember.
“Hey um.. earlier you guys mentioned something about Tsukasa doing something bad to me.. what’d he do?” Mitsuba asked suddenly, making the both of you look at him. “I mean, he’s the one who brought me back here so I wouldn’t disappear.. he can be mean and scary sometimes but he won’t hurt me.” And then at each other.
“Um..” you looked a little uncomfortable, shifting around in your spot. “It’s complicated I guess.”
“It’s really hard to explain, I have no idea how to put it in words.” Kou was equally uncomfortable.
“What? It can’t be that bad?” Mitsuba laughs, but his smile faltered as he realized you two weren’t joking. “Was it?”
You decided to be the one to tell him, taking a deep breath. “It was just after I got you to remember me, the day after, actually.” You began, fidgeting with your sleeves. “We were altogether trying to figure out your ‘unfinished business’ as Kou called it.”
“To help you cross over to the afterlife.” Kou added.
You nodded along “You had told us it was a probably a picture, so we got your camera and we went around different parts of the school to take pictures.” You continued “It was funny, especially since most of the time you were basically just bullying Kou.” You giggled.
Mitsuba smiled, yeah that did sound like something he would’ve done.
“I think I have the pictures? I don’t think I ever gave them back to Kou.” You admit, fishing into the pocket of your shirt, and there were the pictures in question. “Here, see for yourself.” You hand them over to Mitsuba.
Who in turn tenderly grabs them, looking at each of them individually.
The pictures varied. Some were genuinely beautiful, and the ones he took when he was messing with Kou made him have to stifle his laughter.
Mitsuba laughs “Yeah you’re right, I probably did bully him. And had a blast doing it.” He smiles, showing you guys the photo where — he assumed — he was trying to take a photo of some kittens and Kou ended up getting attacked by their mother.
You giggled at the memory, while Kou only pouted.
Mitsuba froze as he saw the picture of you and Kou, and his gaze softened. You looked so pretty to him, and.. there was Kou too, I guess. He stared a bit mesmerized but then cleared his throat, handing them back over to you. “A-And then what? You two didn’t do anything dirty to me did you?” He teased.
“No you pervert, we didn’t.” You sighed, but smiled fondly nonetheless. “We ended up going inside cause it started to rain, and probably gonna leave at that point since school had already finished by then. But that’s when Tsukasa found us.” You had to clutch onto your stomach to prevent yourself from throwing up, the nausea already settling itself in. “The rest of it was a blur. All I can remember was feeling a bit scared. No, that’s an understatement.”
“I was absolutely terrified.”
“He said something about how you left without his ‘permission’ and you looked scared too.” You continued, feeling your hands start to tremble, to which you clearly balled them into fists to stop them from shaking. “He..” the squelching noise and the sound of Mitsuba’s cry rung in your ears. “He hurt you.”
Mitsuba flinched “Hurt me?” He repeated in question, reaching forward to try to hold your hand, seeing as though you were shaking and you looked like you were about to cry. The second his fingertips brushed your knuckles, it all flooded back to him. The empty feeling he felt, the pain, the shock, the fear. It was drowning him. He quickly stood up. “No, no, no that’s not true, not true.” He mumbled to himself, backing up as he buried a hand in his hair.
“I blacked out after I yelled at him, he knocked me out when I tried to attack him.” You admit, voice trembling and small.
Mitsuba’s head whipped around to Kou, eyes watering. “Is he gonna hurt me again?”
“No, don’t worry Mitsuba.”
The two of you froze, Mitsuba flinched.
“I’m not here to hurt you, remember? I brought you back so I could grant your wish.” Tsukasa grinned from ear-to-ear, swinging his legs as he sat on top of the railing. He hopped off, inching closer to Mitsuba.
You stood up immediately, though your legs were shaky, willing yourself to stand next to Mitsuba, stretching out an arm in front of him. “I won’t let you hurt him again.”
“(Y/N)..” As much as Mitsuba admired your bravery, if Tsukasa was really as dangerous as you two claimed he is, he doesn’t want you to get hurt either.
“That’s funny,” A child-like giggle left Tsukasa’s lips. It didn’t last long though, quickly etching into a frown. “What makes you think you’re strong enough to stand against me?” He asks, crossing his arms over his chest. “Mitsuba, kick them out if you don’t want me to deal with them.”
“B-But Tsukasa..” Mitsuba protests.
“Mitsuba.”
Without another word, Mitsuba did as he was told, sending you both away. Just like the first time, you were dragged out through the mirrors. Yours and Kou’s protests fell on deaf ears.
“From now on, you can’t talk to them, ‘kay Mitsuba?” Tsukasa spoke commandingly, frowning upon said boy like a mother scolding her child.
Mitsuba flinched, mouth agape “But—”
Tsukasa didn’t let him finish “No buts. Do you understand?”
Mitsuba hung his head low in response. “Yeah, I got it.”
“Dude, you’ve got to be fucking kidding me right now.” You groaned in frustration, standing perched up on the sink and slamming your fists into the mirror.
“Hey, hey, let’s calm down a bit okay?” Kou yelped, “If we break something, Hanako will be upset.” He warns.
“Like hell if I care,” you frowned, turning around slightly to glance at him.
“Kid, what the—“ Hanako stood there dumbfounded. He sighed, floating up behind you and picking you up from under your arms.
“Put me down!” You protest, squirming in his hold.
Hanako dragged your squirming figure to a corner, setting you down. “Time out.”
“Time out?” You scoffed “I’m not a kid.”
Hanako hugged you, ruffling your hair. “You’re not, I know. Just cool off.”
You huffed, crossing your arms.
Kou frowns “He’s right, just sit still. Don’t do anything stupid.”
“This is stupid.” You retorted.
.
.
It wasn’t long before Yashiro arrived for her daily bathroom-cleaning duties, setting her bag down by the door. “What.. happened.”
It was definitely a strange sight. Kou and Hanako were just sitting with the mokke and playing hanafuda, and you were sitting in the corner just drawing shapes on the floor with your finger.
Kou sighed, setting his cards down for a moment. “Long story short, we got Yako to take us back into the Hell of Mirrors, we talked with Mitsuba, and just when he finally realized Tsukasa came back and forced him to kick us out. (Y/N) got on the sink and starting banging on the mirror again so Hanako put her in time out.”
Yashiro gave you a pitiful look. “(Y/N)..”
“I need to get back in there, there’s no telling what that thing might do to Mitsuba.” You speak before she could get a chance to.
“And there’s no telling what he might do to you if you’re not careful.” Hanako frowned “Kid, I care about you. Don’t go doing anything stupid that can get you hurt or possibly even killed. You can’t go up against a supernatural as dangerous as Tsukasa.”
You groan in frustration, burying your hands in your hair. “It’s all so infuriating. I want to do something about it, but I can’t do anything. I feel so useless.” You mumble.
“I know the feeling.” Hanako replied sympathetically, putting his cards down to put a hand on your shoulder. “I was scared too, when Yashiro got dragged into the Hell of Mirrors. I felt useless because I couldn’t get in, I couldn’t do anything, really.” He rambled on. “If you’re going to get into trouble like that, at least have a plan, and an exit route.”
“You didn’t have a plan going to save Yashiro.” You scoffed, but a smile found its way onto your lips.
“You get what I meant.” Hanako pouted, playfully shoving your shoulder. “Don’t dive head first into danger. Make a plan and then you can.”
“But you did it.” You quipped with a smirk, nudging him.
“Cause I can’t technically can’t ‘die’ a second time.” Hanako frowns, ruffling up your hair “You can. Be careful, figure something out and then you can try, okay?” He sighs “That boy will be alright, Tsukasa probably won’t destroy something that has the potential to destroy us.”
“Probably? That’s reassuring.” You snort sarcastically.
“I’m serious. Focus on one thing at a time.” Hanako groans, scolding you.
“Hanako’s right, you two could’ve gotten seriously hurt going in there alone without a plan.” Yashiro sighed, leaning on the bathroom stall door. “Tsukasa is dangerous from what I can tell, there’s no way you can beat him if he was able to kill number 3 in his own boundary.”
“I guess..” you mutter, standing up and crossing your arms.
“You guess? He knocked you out when you tried to interfere with him and Mitsuba.” Kou narrowed his eyes down at you, “They’re both right, no more dragging me with you if you don’t have a plan. I don’t want you getting hurt.”
“Fine, fine, jeez. I’m not a baby.” You whined, a pout resting on your lips.
“No but you are reckless, and incredibly selfless.” Yashiro smiles.
“Uhh thanks?” You trail with an awkward smile.
“I don’t think that’s a compliment.” Hanako snorts.
As you both quickly got into your usual playful banter, Yashiro turned to Kou.
“Hey, keep an eye on her please.” Yashiro asks, her voice spilling with concern “I don’t want her to get hurt. I’m sure none of us do.”
Kou nodded “I will, I promise.”
.
.
It was getting harder and harder to sleep at night. Tossing and turning in bed, trying to get Mitsuba off of your mind but it wasn’t easy. He’s okay, they assured you, but why did you feel like he might be in deeper danger than he started? You need a plan, and fast. But what can you do? Tsukasa won’t allow you near him, and Kou will probably keep an eye on you for awhile to make sure you don’t go manic from the whole ordeal. But.. Kou’s not watching you at night, is he?
( A / N ) : Finally got this done!
Tag list : @tr-mha-fan
Chapter 6 — “Is it really you?”
Summary: After finally finding Mitsuba, all hell breaks loose. Between fighting Hanako though failing miserably and replacing the Hell of Mirrors No. 3 of the Seven Mysteries, but that isn’t half of the chaos just waiting to unfold.
( A / N ) : I can’t believe it’s been so long since Act I was released. I really liked working on it and lately I just didn’t have the time or motivation to start Act II, but I’m using every small break and rest time that I have to write this. :> I hope you guys like it!! Also from the middle of Act II to the and of Act IV, it’s going to go waaay off plot and onto a different plot that I thought of. I lost my original ideas for all the acts so I’m trying to remember bits and pieces and work from there to remember the rest. So far so good!
Prev. >>> Next
Kou luckily rushed in front of you before Tsukasa could get any closer, but you wish he hadn’t. It’s hopeless, but if you were any stronger than that deathly apparition, you would’ve killed him a second time. After assuring himself that Tsukasa wouldn’t attack if he turned his back on him, he whipped around to check if you’re okay.
“Are you okay (Y/N)? Did he hurt you?” Kou worries, checking your arms and legs—you’re like his little sister after all.
“N-No,” you managed to choke out, trying both not to throw up and cry at the same time “..Kou, I—“ you hiccuped.
“It’s okay, I’m here now.” He assured.
“Kou,” you tried to make your tone sound stern, but with the tremors in your voice that was near impossible. “Behind you.” You just barely managed to croak out.
Reluctantly, Kou turned behind him.
And what he saw shocked him.
No, even shocked is an understatement.
There wasn’t any words to describe the feelings he was feeling. Relief? Guilt? Happiness? Distress? No, it was all of them. A wave of emotions crashing down onto him and he was almost scared he would drown in them.
“You..” he paused, dropping his staff which he held in his hand and standing up “..how are.. but I thought you were gone for good.” Kou’s usually confident voice seemed to tremble.
“Mitsuba.” He called out, still in disbelief. “You’re really okay? You’re not hurt or anything, are you?” He reached for him, but Mitsuba seemed to flinch away. Kou didn’t notice though “Huh?” He then reached for Mitsuba’s hand “Why is your hand like that? What’s wrong?”
“What happened to you.”
“Uh..” Mitsuba didn’t know whether to feel awkward or uncomfortable. ‘Who is he?’ He wondered to himself.
Hanako pursed his lips, sensing some was amiss. His eyes expertly scanned the room for anything that looked even slightly out of place.
Well, No. 3’s dead body on the floor was an obviously noticeable sign.
Hanako’s eyes widened and he sighs “Is that.. Don’t tell me.” He had to make sure, narrowing his eyes down at the corpse. He looked back at Mitsuba, and he froze.
“Kid, get back!” He warns.
Kou looked confused, turning his head to glance at Hanako over his shoulder.
Large arm-like structures seemed to sprout from behind Mitsuba. Trying to attack Kou, or at least that’s what it seemed as they thrashed around.
Mitsuba flinched, shaking his head. “No, no! I’m scared.”
Your eyes widened. You always hated seeing Mitsuba cry back when he was alive, him being dead didn’t change a thing. “Help me.” Mitsuba whimpered, shutting his eyes closed tightly. And covering his head with his hands.
You got up on your shaky legs, with the intention of going to comfort Mitsuba, but you tripped over your own feet and stumbled back to the ground. Which was very lucky for you.
One of the arms, threw itself in Kou’s direction, which if you hadn’t fallen back down; you would’ve gotten hit. Hanako stepped in, slashing at the arm with his butcher’s knife. Pieces of the arm shattered and scattered around the floor.
“You okay kid?” Hanako asked, to which Kou nodded.
“Uh.. uh-huh.” Kou confirms, pursing his lips as he looked at what looked to be Mitsuba.
The cluttered pieces trembled, inching closer to each other till they reformed, standing tall behind Hanako.
You couldn’t warn them, your throat felt too tight. But for some reason, as you glanced at Mitsuba’s usually confident rose-colored eyes, you could see he was really scared. He wasn’t trying to hurt them on purpose, it was almost like an impulse.
“Watch out, behind you!” Kou gasped as he saw the hand getting ready to slam down on both of them to hopefully crush them underneath it.
Hanako whipped back around, ready to attack but instead of hitting him, it grabbed him. The hand was so big, Hanako looked like a plush in its palm. Thankfully he was only stunned for a moment, quickly breaking out of its grip. He smirked “He’s surprisingly quick.”
THUD!
One of the arms had unexpectedly slammed Hanako into the wall “Wha..?” He gasped, clearly caught off guard.
“Hanako!” Kou panicked, failing to notice the hand creeping behind him and slamming him down into the ground.
“KID?!” Hanako yelps, wincing as he saw the force of the hands attack.
Surprisingly, they didn’t seem to be attacking you. More like they were avoiding you, scared to touch you—almost like they were scared they might hurt you.
“Uh..” Mitsuba’s anxiety only seemed to get worse “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” He panicked hands gripping onto his hair “Stop it.”
“Mitsubaa..”
Oh no. Not that voice again.
Just hearing his voice made anger bubble up in you, and knowing there was nothing you could do about it only made it worse.
“Did you finish eating?” Tsukasa asked with a smile only that of an innocent child would bare, but he was far from it. He sat perched up on the railing-like structure above the mirror behind Mitsuba. He jumped down.
“Uhh..” Mitsuba trailed, you didn’t miss how he didn’t seem to tense or freeze around him now like he did then.
Just what did he do to him?
Mitsuba then stood up up, scrambling to hide behind him like a scared puppy would.
“Hm?” Tsukasa hummed, glancing over his shoulder to look at Mitsuba who was trembling behind him “Oh?”
“What..” Hanako froze up, in what looked like fear, no. What was it? “What are you doing here, Tsukasa?”
Tsukasa turned to look at Hanako, and when he saw him he instantly beamed. “Aaah!” He squealed, rushing over to him with quick steps “Long time no see!” He giggled, hugging Hanako tightly, clinging onto him like how a koala would. “Amane!”
“Just wait a second!” Hanako yelps as he nearly stumbled back from the force of his brother’s embrace “Come on Tsukasa, listen to—“ he didn’t get the chance to speak.
“Amane, Amane!” Hanako’s words only went through one ear and out the other, Tsukasa listened to none of it.
Tsukasa looked so innocent, almost childlike. Which made you think, if you didn’t know any better, you’d think he was innocent too.
The hand whipped around to shove them tossing them across the room.
Tsukasa was somehow flipped upside down, sliding down the wall “Oof—“
Hanako groans, but let his pain last only a second before standing upright again. “H-Here it comes again!” He warns.
Tsukasa frowns, groaning in annoyance, “You’re getting in the way.” It doesn’t take him that long to stand up again, and not upside down, effortlessly dodging the arms that would swing at him with ease.
Suddenly, as another arm reached to attack him, Tsukasa quickly grabbed it, also holding another that was sneaking up on him nearby “Mitsuba..” he sighs, almost like a disappointed mother would to a child.
“What.. what’re those?!” Mitsuba panics, “W-What’s happening?” He whimpers, tears threatening to spill from his eyes.
“Now, now,” Tsukasa smiles, leaning forward to wrap an arm around Mitsuba, “there, there.”
Mitsuba flinched, but then relaxed in Tsukasa’s hold.
You wanted so badly to push him away from Mitsuba, but you could only stay frozen in both fear and shock.
“These things’re here to protect you,” Tsukasa assured him “Calm down so you can keep them under control, okay?”
“O-Okay.” Mitsuba sniffled, using his sleeve to rid his eyes of tears, taking a deep breath “..okay.” He mumbled, hugging Tsukuba to comfort himself.
“There we go.. just like that.” Tsukasa whispered, rubbing his hand up and down Mitsuba’s back “Very good.”
“Hey,” Kou spoke through gritted teeth “Damn it! What the hell did you do to Mitsuba this time?”
“Oh?” Tsukasa mused, a smirk gracing his lips. He glanced over his shoulder to look at Kou, almost as if to mock him.
“I granted his wish.”
“You didn’t grant his wish, you did the complete opposite!” You choked, getting up on trembling feet. “He just wanted a friend, and he had two right with him, but you just tore it all away.” You tried taking deep breaths, but it helped nothing. “You made him people fear him, how is that granting his wish?” You scoffed, glaring at the ghost with teary eyes.
Tsukasa frowns “But I did grant his wish.” He insisted crossing his arms over his chest “And the price of that wish was his mind, in other words, a part of his soul.” He explained, but still, it didn’t seem right at all. “When you last saw me,”
The memory alone made you feel sick to your stomach, your hands immediately flying to clutch your stomach and to hold your mouth. You didn’t even want to remember it, the squelching sound that sounded like it tore through human flesh even though Mitsuba was a ghost, the sick look in Tsukasa’s eyes. No, you can’t throw up here, not now.
“I removed a part of his soul; his mind.” Tsukasa’s lips then twitched up into a smile “The rest is simple!”
“I collected low level spirits that were already fading away and used them to make a spirit body.” Tsukasa patted Mitsuba’s head, ruffling his hair. “Then I added the piece of Mitsuba’s soul to it!” He then grabbed his shoulders, patting them. “And then, all done!” He giggled like a boasting child who just finished all his chores.
“It has the same soul at its core, so it probably looks and acts just like him.” Tsukasa continued to explain “But this is something totally different! I mean, of course it is.” He looked at Mitsuba, then directly at you “The Sousuke Mitsuba who lived and sided as a human..”
“Doesn’t exist anywhere in this world anymore.”
Tsukasa then looked back at Mitsuba “But the weird thing is.. because of that, he should have no recollection of his past life. Or even when I collected his mind that day. Yet it’s like you’re now engraved in his memory.” He mumbled, it was barely audible to anyone except for the ones who stood close to him. Like you and Mitsuba.
Part of that reassured you, but it wasn’t enough to cover up the fact that what he did was still as sick and unforgivable as before.
“Why?” Kou spoke again, his hands were balled into fists and trembled at his sides. “Why would you do that? It’s your fault Mitsuba is gone in the first place.”
“Hm?” Tsukasa’s amber eyes wandered the room, as if he was seriously thinking about it. “Just because, I guess? I’ve always wanted to try making one.”
“An artificial human.”
You all stood there in disbelief, and his words only proved to further anger you. He has no right to be talking about Mitsuba as if he were nothing but an experiment, a test subject.
Even Hanako was shocked. “What..” he mumbled.
“Amane and I saw one a looong time ago.” Tsukasa beams, “There was a movie with an artificial human that attacked everyone!” He giggled. “Oh.. but this..” he then looked down at Mitsuba, placing his hand on his head “This is a ghost huh? So I guess it’s an artificial ghost then, huh? I didn’t count on it being such a weakling that it can’t exist in the mortal world, though.” he moved so he was now holding Mitsuba’s head against his shoulder, propping his chin atop his head. “Pretty cool, right?”
Kou suddenly slammed his staff into the wall next to Tsukasa, it stabbed into the wall. Mitsuba flinched at the noise but Tsukasa remained as calm as ever—completely unfazed.
“You creep.” Kou scoffed, in all you’ve known Kou, you never saw him this angry. “You’ve got to be kidding me..” his shoulders were trembling, his hand whipped up to grip the menacing ghost boy’s uniform.
“Hm?”
“Mitsuba, he isn’t..” Kou choked “He isn’t your toy!”
There was this unsettling look in Tsukasa eyes as he said that, and he tilted his head “So..” he looked back at Mitsuba who was now sitting on ground behind him. “You’re saying I shouldn’t have made this thing?”
“He’s not a thing, he’s his own person!” You finally managed to shout “Dead or not, he should still have a say on how he wants to spend his time in the afterlife!”
Tsukasa only brushed you off, taking Mitsuba by the hands. And suddenly, they were gone.
Your eyes quickly scanned the room, and you found them floating not too far away — a few floors up.
Mitsuba yelped, clearly panicked. But it made you wonder.. he’s a ghost too, can’t he float?
“Don’t worry Mitsuba,” Tsukasa’s voice was gentle, like a child’s “I don’t hate you!” He beams.
“Waaa!” Mitsuba looks from Tsukasa to the ground that looked so far below them. “I’m gonna fall, I’m gonna fall!” He cried, clinging to Tsukasa.
“So, Mitsuba.” Tsukasa didn’t care to calm him down, letting the boy cling to him. “You’re just a baby with only one memory.. but no powers or anything else. Nothing.” He smiles down at Mitsuba “But now you have No. 3’s core inside you, now you do have power.”
“What do you wanna do?”
The question should’ve been heartwarming, to Mitsuba’s ears it was but it somehow planted an unsettling feeling in your gut.
“Do you wanna let them take your new power from you and just disappear?” Tsukasa’s gaze didn’t falter, staring straight into his eyes. Mitsuba flinched at those words, and it also scared you. You didn’t think you could go through losing him again. “Or do you wanna take School Mystery No. 3’s seat and become the ruler of this boundary? Tell me,”
“What do you want, Mitsuba.”
Everyone stood frozen in shock, anticipating his reply.
“I’ll.. I’ll do it.” Mitsuba’s voice came out trembly, but sure. “I’m not ready to disappear.. not when I still have nothing.” He glanced over to you, and then back at Tsukasa with tears in his eyes. “So if that’s the only option, I’ll be anything! I’ll even be a school mystery if I need to be!” He cried.
Tsukasa smiled eerily “Very good, if that’s what you want, then I will grant your wish.” He looked down at Mitsuba “From this moment on — you are now No. 3 of the school’s Seven Mysteries, Mitsuba.”
Mitsuba beams brightly — so bright it nearly rivaled the sun. “Woah, really? This is so cool!” He laughs.
“Yup, this boundary belongs to you now.” Tsukasa confirms.
You were all for it as long as he wouldn’t disappear again, but at what cost? What was the twist that Tsukasa was hiding? What’s the catch? So many thoughts in your head, you couldn’t help but worry something may go wrong.
“What kind of supernatural do you wanna be?” Tsukasa asks, a smile gracing his features. “You can be aanything!” He giggled, spreading his arms up high to emphasize this.
Mitsuba turned to look down at you, who is looking right back at him with a storm of emotions in your eyes. Relief, disbelief, worry, fear. He smiles at you reassuringly. “Anything?” He echoes.
If it meant he could be with you..
“Then I want to be normal.” Mitsuba uttered softly. “I want to be human again.”
“Can I?”
“Yup, you can.” Tsukasa nodded, holding his hands behind his back as he grinned at the pink-haired boy.
Your heart fluttered. Human, you mean. With us again? The thought of it gave you hope.
“NO!” Hanako’s voice echoed, rattling the entire boundary. It seemed to tremble at the mere force of it.
The haku-joudai’s swirled around the two ghosts, startling Mitsuba — but leaving Tsukasa as calm as ever. Maybe even a little amused.
Both you and Kou exchanged looks, then looked back at Hanako in disbelief.
Hanako pursed his lips, pointing his butcher’s knife at them. “You cannot be allowed to live on the near shore as a human,”
Just that sentence alone made you want to tune everything else into white noise, but it confused you — and even angered you, too.
“And why can he not?” You snapped, finally finding the courage to speak with all the chaos going on.
“Yeah, why can’t he Amane?” Tsukasa mocked in a sing-song voice, folding his arms over Mitsuba’s head and laying his chin on them.
“Because,” Hanako began, clearly frustrated. “A creature that has come to live on the far shore as a supernatural cannot be allowed to live on the near shore as a human!” He spoke through gritted teeth. “Mitsuba, you were ‘born’ a supernatural, which means you cannot be allowed to become human. That seat number is not yours.”
“And I’m taking it back.”
Mitsuba looked down at the four three of them of you as if you guys were only bugs under his shoe. Not with disgust, but with something more. Disappointment? Confusion? Even he couldn’t tell.
“..Mitsuba?” Kou called out to him, his hand tightly wrapped around his staff.
A childlike laughter echoes throughout the room, the sound is bouncing off the walls — Tsukasa’s laughter — is ringing in your ears.
“Are you sure you want to do that?” Tsukasa asked with a smirk, crossing his arms over his chest “Mitsuba’s pretty powerful now, don’t think he’s the same ghost weakling he was before or SCRUNCH!” He made an effort to clasp his hands together as if crushing something between them. “That’ll be the end of you.” He says with that sickening smile, letting his hands fall back down to his sides. “This boundary belongs to Mitsuba now, in here, no one can beat him!” He cheers, “Go on Mitsuba, scrunch ‘em.”
..
Except that Mitsuba was now trying to flee.
“Huh?” Tsukasa turns his head around to confirm that Mitsuba was indeed missing. “Mitsuba?” His eyes darted around the room, it didn’t take long for him to find him — Mitsuba couldn’t exactly hide all that well with the mirror’s reflections acting as cameras. “There you are!” He exclaimed, rushing over to him. “What are you doing?” Tsukasa asked, tugging on the hem of Mitsuba’s sleeve.
Mitsuba yelped, “Stay away from me!” He squealed in panic, lowering his voice to a whisper — he continued “What does it look like I’m doing, I’m running away!”
“Why?” Tsukasa insisted, a pout marring his lips.
“Why?!” Mitsuba whisper shouted, pointing his thumb back at Hanako “Look at that guy! He’s got a knife, there’s no way I can beat him!”
His words almost made you laugh if not for the severity of the situation.
“Aww, you’ll be fine!” Tsukasa assures with his signature childish grin, ruffling up Mitsuba’s hair. “Just scrunch him with your new powers!”
“I can’t do that,” Mitsuba whined, swatting his hands away “—don’t be crazy!”
“Come on, come on!” Tsukasa pouted, nudging his shoulder persistently.
“Noo! Nope! I don’t wanna!” Mitsuba was stubborn, he wasn’t as scared of Hanako as he was of Tsukasa, but to him he did look pretty intimidating.
“Uhh..” Hanako trails, freezing momentarily.
“Kind of feels like we’re interrupting something, huh?” You joked with a nervous chuckle, eyes flickering from Mitsuba, to Tsukasa, then to Hanako.
A loud noise — like something hitting flesh — rung in the room making you flinch at the sound. Tsukasa frowned, Mitsuba’s cheek was now reddened “Do it.”
“Eek!” Mitsuba squeaked, backing up and nodding “I will, please let me do it.” He panics as he scrambled back up to his feet. “So uh..” he looks around at the four of you, eyes lingering on you for a moment longer than the rest. “Here I go.. you four!” He looks over at you, then at Yashiro “Three? She’s unconscious, so does she count? Uh..” he trails “Right.. I don’t know any of your guys’s names.. besides (Y/N). And that other girl.” He mumbled, perking up after a moment. “Okay, I’ve got it! I’m calling you crazy knife,” he announces, pointing at Hanako “..and you.. hella-lame-traffic-safety earring!” he smirks, then pointing at Kou.
At any other time, Kou would’ve been irked to hear that nickname, but he only flinched. It hurt that Mitsuba didn’t remember him. But before either of you could speak, Hanako spoke up.
“What do you mean ‘crazy knife’?” Hanako frowns, pointing his butcher’s knife at Mitsuba.
“Eep!” Mitsuba squealed, floating backwards. “Don’t point that thing at me!” He glanced back at Tsukasa, who is looking right back at him expectingly. “Anyways, this is my turf now! So I decide whether you live or die!” He stammered, turning back to the four of you.
“Isn’t that a bit dramatic?” You teased, “Oh no, please don’t kill me.”
“(Y/N), this isn’t that time to flirt.” Hanako frowns, looking back at you.
Your cheeks flush. “I-I wasn’t..”
Mitsuba’s cheeks also flushed “Yeah! She wasn’t!” He pouts “But anyways.. if you surrender now, I might let you guys go!” He crosses his arms with a ‘hmph’, turning his head the opposite direction “I’m in a pretty good mood, you know?”
Hanako just pursed his lips, watching Mitsuba with a blank expression. Mitsuba on the other hand stared back at him, and if ghosts could sweat — he would be sweating buckets right now.
“You wanna do this?” Mitsuba finally speaks up, through his voice is a bit shaky “Well if you insist, I’ll use my Seven Mystery.. you know my like.. super-powerful powers!” You could tell he didn’t know at all what he was doing, and although he did technically have all the power to defeat Hanako, he wasn’t at all sure how to make his ‘power’ work. “To.. to do terrible things to you, so go away!”
“Like in porno?” Tsukasa teased, obviously baiting Mitsuba.
“I- uh! Yes! Just like in porno!” Mitsuba exclaimed quite loudly, looking smug as always before the realization of what he just said dawned on him and his cheeks flushed bright red.
“Porno?” Hanako mumbled, moving to wrap his arms protectively around Yashiro.
“Hey! What are you making me say?!” Mitsuba yelped, whipping around to glare at Tsukasa “I will not!”
You couldn’t contain it anymore, bursting into a fit of giggles, holding a hand over your stomach from how hard you were laughing.
Kou began walking towards Mitsuba, and before Mitsuba could register that someoen was behind him, Kou grabbed his arm, and pulled Mitsuba down so now they were eye-to-eye. He frowned.
“Um.. can I help you?” Mitsuba muttered, obvious confusion marred his features.
Kou’s frown deepened, and he looked away — squeezing his arm.
“Just— what? Are you enchanted by adorable visage or something?” Mitsuba mocks, trying not to show his confusion. Kou’s silence only proved to confuse Mitsuba even more. “Come on,” he insisted “—that earring is so lame.” He hoped by mocking him, he would reply — even if it was out of annoyance or frustration. Why wasn’t he talking? And what was up with this kid clinging onto him? Does he know him or something? Mitsuba had opened his mouth to tak again, but Kou beat him to it thankfully this time.
“You..” Kou’s gaze drifted back to the floor. “..you really don’t remember me?”
Mitsuba pursed his lips, he couldn’t help but feel even just a little bad for him. Of course he didn’t remember him, he didn’t even know why he was so hurt by it. Were they friends or something?
“Huh?” Mitsuba raised an eyebrow “What are you talking about, that doesn’t make.. any sense.” He frowned, tugging his arm away from Kou — and instinctively, Kou reached for his arm again.
“Who are you?”
Three words. Three words that stung Kou like needles. He glanced up at Mitsuba, then back down to the floor.
“Are you done?” Mitsuba asked, already starting to feel a bit awkward from the situation. “You’re done, right?” Kou was still not responsive, keeping his gaze on the floor; but he didn’t loosen his grip or even dare look back up at the boy. “Let me go.” Mitsuba frowns, tugging his arm away a second time.
This pulled Kou out of his trance, “Oh..” his eyes immediately darted back up to Mitsuba, and an image of his ghost friend’s old self flickered before him. Hallucination or not, it was enough for Kou to grab onto Mitsuba’s arm a third time. “No,” he stammered “—wait a minute!” This time, he pulled him even closer, his hand coming to grab Mitsuba’s chin, his fingers covering his mouth a bit.
“Ack!” Mitsuba yelped, clearly — and very reasonably — shocked. “What do you want?”
“I am..” Kou looked into Mitsuba’s rose-colored eyes “My name’s Kou Minamoto, remember it, stupid girly face!” He pursed his lips, letting go of Mitsuba. He walked towards one of the mirrors where he had dropped the old gardening club records, picked it up and walked back to Mitsuba to shove it in his arms.
“Huh?” Mitsuba was still clearly confused “What.. what is this?” He frowns.
“Just shut up and take it, fake-nice guy!” Kou spoke through gritted teeth.
“Wha—?” Mitsuba had literally zero idea on what was going on, why you were looking at him expectingly now, why this guy claimed to know him when Mitsuba was sure he’d remember someone as stubborn annoying as the boy who stood in front of him. “I really don’t get what you’re trying to get at! And man is that earring of yours lame..”
“Now, now,” Tsukasa came in between them, pushing them apart; and smacking either one in the face in process of it. “That’s enough of that.”
“Hey—what was that for?!” Kou yelped, pinching the bridge of his nose. It stung a bit.
“You have more important things to do, huh Mitsuba?” Tsukasa smiles, completely ignoring Kou. He grabbed Mitsuba by his shoulders, and guided him so he was right in front of Hanako again. “Here.” He beams, dusting off his shoulders.
Hanako didn’t even do anything, but as soon as he looked up at Mitsuba.
“Noo! Knife!” Mitsuba panics, backing up. He lost control of his arms again, and they whipped at Hanako.
Hanako quickly grabbed Yashiro — and before you could process anything — he shoved you over away from harm, turning to Kou as well “Watch out!” He warned “This is bad..”
“No kidding..” you panted, barely being able to catch yourself from falling.
“Hey Hanako, what do we do?” Kou gasps, just barely able to block the slap of one of the arms with his staff.
“Kid!” Hanako panicked. He pursed his lips, looking down at Yashiro “The thing is, if we want to get the school mystery’s seat number back, we have to destroy the source of power.”
“You mean the yoshiro or whatever?” You ask, one of the arms narrowly missing your legs to trip you up.
“S-Sorry!” Mitsuba yelps, trying to get them under control.
“Yeah! And for some reason, nothings waking her up!” Hanako frowns, gently smacking the girl’s cheeks “Yashiro, wake up!”
“And as for the yoshiro?” Kou asked, looking around.
Your eyes darted to the center of the ceiling. “Yeah, there’s no way we’re reaching that! It’s way up there!”
“So then,” Hanako’s eyes flickered from the yoshiro, then to Yashiro, then back to Mitsuba “—first things first, we’re gonna need to make him behave.” He let go of Yashiro, running off towards Mitsuba.
“Wait, Hanako!” You and Kou both panicked.
In just a blink of an eye, Hanako was right behind Mitsuba, his knife up against the other ghosts’ neck.
“Hanako, stop, what are you doing?” You yelped, rushing to the edge of the railing, there wasn’t much you could do — but you did know you would never forgive Hanako if he hurt Mitsuba.
Kou grabbed your arm, holding you back with him. He was scared too, but he knew Hanako wasn’t going to hurt him.
Mitsuba kept completely still, well, he did — but his arms didn’t. Frantically thrashing around.
“Mitsuba, you aren’t even the spirit of someone who once lived on the near shore anymore,” Hanako frowns. “You’re purely supernatural, your connections with the mortal realm are as weak as can be, and that means.”
“You can never be human.”
Those words stung Mitsuba, especially since he knew, inevitably that was reality. “No!” He weakly argued, one of his arms whipping at the floor above Yashiro. All of you turned around in horror and panic. You managed to run — while the rest were frozen in shock — shielding Yashiro’s body with your own. You shut your eyes, anticipating the weight of the floor above you crashing down. But it never came. You pulled away from Yashiro’s body, opening your eyes only a small pebble managed to hit her head.
And that seemed to be enough to wake her up.
“(Y/N)? Mitsuba?” Yashiro mumbled, her eyes slowly fluttered open.
You sighed in relief, letting your body fall back — and luckily for you — one of Mitsuba’s arms wrapped itself around you from behind to make sure you didn’t hurt yourself.
“Ouch..” Mitsuba groans, his eyes shut tightly as rubble slid off his body and he sunk back down to his knees.
“What’s going on?” Yashiro panics, looking around a bit frantically. “Hanako? Kou? (Y/N)? When did you guys all get here?” Her gaze then returned back to Mitsuba “Hey, you okay?” She scanned his figure up and down. Did he change while she was unconscious? “And what.. are you wearing?”
“So Hanako grabbing her and tackling her to the other side of the room didn’t wake her, but a tiny pebble did?” You sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose — this logic made no sense. You feared you might turn as dumb as them.
“I got stronger!” Mitsuba beamed like a little boy searching for praise from an older sibling. “I’m the ruler of this place now! A-And I became one of those seven mystery thingys!”
Yashiro didn’t look afraid, but she didn’t look to happy either. Her eyebrows furrowed as she glanced behind him and saw Tsukasa was still there, staring back at her. That was enough to send a shiver down her spine.
“So this is my boundary?” Mitsuba asked “Is that what you said it was called?” His excitement was short lived, as he could feel Tsukasa practically burning holes into his skin. “So.. I mean..” his eyes darting around from person to person until his gaze was focused on you again. “And I can’t let you destroy it.” He frowns, glancing at Hanako. “So.. uh-“
“Just get outta here!”
Suddenly, various arms sprang from the wall behind you. They grabbed the four of you — though they were much gentler with you for some odd reason — and forced you guys out.
“Stop that! Don’t grab my ankles!” Hanako yelps, trying to dig the blade of his knife into the floor to ground himself.
“Whoa?!” Kou gasped.
“I’m getting sucked into the mirror!” Yashiro panics, grabbing onto the frame of said mirror. “What are you—why are you doing this?”
“Just go with it,” Mitsuba smiles. “See you later.”
This whole time, you were surprisingly calm. The three of them were dragged out through the mirrors, but one of the arms kept you from fully going back through. So many thoughts running through your head, so many questions, very few answers. You had so many things you wanted to say, to ask.
“Mitsuba.” Tsukasa frowns.
“Oh, right..” Mitsuba mumbled, sighing. He didn’t want to, but he knew if you stayed there’s no telling what Tsukasa might do.
“Don’t you dare hurt him!” Was all you managed to say before you too were dragged through the mirror. An arm placed you down gently on the floor before retreating back into the mirror. You stood up on shaky feet, glancing down at the other three who were huddled together on the floor; presumably unconscious or something. You slammed your fist into the mirror, over and over again. Just when you found Mitsuba, you had to say goodbye again. The mokke tried to console you, huddling around you as you fell down to your knees helplessly. You were scared for Mitsuba. You didn’t trust Tsukasa at all. One thing was for sure though, you had to find Mitsuba again. And this time;
You wouldn’t let Tsukasa take him away this time. .
( A / N ) : I have not been able to find the motivation to write for the life of me. 😞 First chapter is finally done tho, hopefully I didn’t miss any spelling or grammatical errors, if so please let me know.

Sakura was doing a little research about you after Mitsuba mentioned you, honestly she thought it was weird, someone who nobody could see even apparitions and exorcists that's truly something odd what are you? Are you even human? Or are you even an apparition? Eventually Sakura decided to google your name and found something interesting, something that terrified her a little... saying a little is probably lowering her fear it's straight forward scares her.
While that was happening you and Mitsuba were walking around the school ground taking pictures or just talking about random stuff, for example Mitsuba told you more about Kou and you found out that Daikon leg was some nickname for a girl named Nene, honestly if you never saw her you would thought that Nene is a supernatural that has daikons for legs, thank god you didn't thought that and actually knew they were just shapped like that, honestly daikon legs are cute in your opinion it reminds you of a chibi...maybe you should draw it? Meh you see later on if you will have the energy to do so.
You didn't tell Mitsuba that but recently you were getting a bad headache, sometimes even fainting and not knowing what happened before though it never happened around Mitsuba so you decided not to mention it after all you both were happy and that's what matters... as for Mitsuba he was also happy and cared for you the same amount as you did, while walking Mitsuba suddenly hear a voice in his head it sounded a bit glitchy but he also could hear you voice in it sounding sad and angry.

Honestly Mitsuba was confused what were you saying? And you didn't seem sad nor angry? Did it have something to do with your past and if so why did he hear it? It just doesn't make sense to him but you were happy so he decided to not be bothered by it as long as you are happy so is he.
That's what matters the most doesn't it?
While Mitsuba was being happy Kou was getting curious about the full situation, Kou was in the bathroom helping Nene clean while still thinking about the conversation he and Mitsuba had about you
୨⎯ "3 months before" ⎯୧
"Alright I think it's about time you tell me something about that crush of yours Mitsuba"
"I already said you don't need to know"
"come on Mitsuba I have been your friend even before you died, please tell me or at least let me see them"
"you won't be able to see them"
"why? They don't go here?"
"no,no they do you won't see them as in if they stand next to me you won't see them"
"...are you sure you not delusional?"
"I already said I'm not!"
"Alright Alright, I'm sorry I believe you I guess"
"ugh that's why I didn't tell you"
୨⎯ "Now" ⎯୧
"Hey kid you good?"
"ah yes I'm fine"
"you sure? You seem a little out of it?"
"yeah Yashiro right on that you seem to be thinking about something"
"Hanako are they any supernatural and I mean any that nobody can see except one person?"
"that would be being delusional not a supernatural"
"... alright thanks for answering that"
"Kou is something up?"
"it's about Mitsuba, A few months ago we talked about his crush"
"Mitsuba has a crush?!"
"I mean had, from what I know they are dating now but back then he said I won't be able to see them if they are next to him"
"are you sure your friend isn't pranking you?"
"Hanako do you really take Mitsuba as someone that jokes around?"
"now that I think about it, no I don't but then what could be going on?"
"well maybe we can try to figure it out? I know! We try to help Mituba's partner become visible so they could have a happy ending!"
"...Yashiro trust me I don't want to shatter your dreams but for me it sounds like Kou's friend is just delusional"
"but there's no way it could be that, how does that even make sense"
"Kid trust me even as dead people we can still be delusional, and for me it sounds like your friend is just that, there's about 99% chance his 'partner' isn't even real"
"They are real but not an apparition"
"huh who are you"
"I assume you might not know me, my name is Sakura Nanamine as for what I was saying Mitsuba partner is a real person that existed"
"huh what do you mean by that?"
"Kou I suppose you used to know someone under the name of [Y/N] [L/N]?"
"firstly how do you know my name secondly yeah and how do YOU know them"
"I was watching you before I entered and heard your names, and as for how I know them I don't I only know about they case"
"They case?"
"Case of [Y/N] [L/N] junior student of Kamome academy who died from a car crash after trying to save their friend those who used to know them knew one thing, no matter what they won't be separated"
"...they were also my friend you know"
"of course I do, you all three were really close when one was alone the other came and helped you used to be an amazing trio to bad two died one was forgotten the other wasn't"
"damn that sounds like a sad romance book"
"you and your romance books and mangas"
"oh shush you said there's a 99% chance Mitsuba's partner isn't real and here we go they are"
"people can be wrong you know"
"you especially"
"Hakujoudai I think we should go get some fish food"
"ahhh I was just joking hehe you know a friendly joke"
"alright then I guess"
"anyway I came to say that even this [Y/N] can be considered a delusion they aren't really more of they have a chance to become one"
"what do you mean by that"
"[Y/N] has to remember their past if they won't and will be killed before that they will disappear as if a real delusion"
"so they will disappear if they don't remember their past?"
"indeed and as long as I'm aware, someone or something is after them to kill them"
"well then we should help them remember their past!"
"Yashiro reminder that our new friend just told us something is after them and once again a little reminder both you and kid are humans and you can get killed"
"ahh you have a great point... honestly I didn't think about it"
"As I said it's after them it's most likely it won't hurt anybody but them"
"so it's only going after them to kill them nobody else will be hurt?"
"indeed whatever it is going after [Y/N] is only after them nobody else"
"shouldn't we tell Mitsuba about this then?"
"he doesn't remember them even if they remember you, they need Mitsuba to remember them too"
"well if we tell him about [Y/N] he should remember them"
"he will only know that he knows them not who they were to him"
"heyy m'lady"
"Natsuhiko what are you doing here?"
"is it the wrong time to tell you that Mitsuba heard you and currently is trying to remember that [Y/N] person and I just saw a huge bug like thing chasing him"
"...what did you just say"
"we should quickly find him!"
"yeah Natsuhiko go and make sure Tsukasa won't stop us"
"are you trying to kill me?!"
"you will live, anyway let's go!"
୨⎯ "After a few hours" ⎯୧
Sakura,Hanako,Kou and Nene were inside some kind of domain, they could find TV everywhere replaying the news of your and Mitsuba death, Nene was disturbed like everyone about it worried what will happen to you and if that thing might kill you or maybe even them, eventually they found Mitsuba having his hand up as if he's protecting someone, and behind him was you who in their eyes was flicking once they saw you and once they didn't.
It looked like Mitsuba was scared and so were you, Mitsuba was trying to protect you from whatever tried to harm you, the rest of the group was looking until Kou realised something was about to attack you a bug like creature, before he could warn you and Mitsuba the bug caught you and before Hanako could use his knife to save you...you were stabbed by it.
"I-I so sorry Mitsuba"
Mitsuba watched that happen and quickly ran to grab you but before he could, you disappeared and you were replaced with flower petals, lilly petals the group was looking at Mitsuba who was crying from losing you, all the TVs that were around started working and red spider lillies appeared on them, all of the group looked disappointed knowing they didn't save you...they failed...
୨⎯ "Time skip" ⎯୧
It's been a few weeks, Mitsuba has been spending on the roof going through your notebook seeing the stories you wrote and the drawings you made, especially when he realized most of the stories you wrote were just memories you actually remembered...but hey at least you got new happy memories and may you say if god ever lets you become a supernatural you gladly join Mitsuba as for now... Death do us part

― ʚ words ɞ ― 2k+
― ʚ warning ɞ ― designer found no danger in her creation
― ʚ author note ɞ ― This is part 2 of the Mitsuba story here you can find part 1 here so please read it before you read this
It's been about a week since you started writing that story, the one Mitsuba gave you the idea for yet when you try to write something on it, you can really do it you keep trying to imagine a life before you death yet there's nothing so you decide to try bring Mitsuba into your story and it's starts working out, you write about you both going to a park him taking pictures and you drawing or writing you kept writing you were actually surprised at how much you were writing, it felt nice writing something like this what's more interesting after you met Mitsuba those voices stopped, it's was more quiet and peaceful when Mitsuba isn't around interesting enough Mitsuba started hanging out around you more often and talk to you about some stuff going around, even mentioning someone with stupid earnings, which honestly could be anybody, while you writing you start adding silly characters which words Mitsuba gave you, daikon legs, weird earrings and crazy knife so you drew few characters with those words in mind, honestly it's making you wonder if there's any words that Mitsuba describes you as other then idiot or dumbass.
"Then what the hell are they if not an apparition"
"that's what I'm trying to figure out with you Mitsuba, they can't be an apparition since there's no rumor going around about them nor can they be alive since nobody can see them and that they see you"
"for me it sounds like Mitsuba is in love"
"Shut up dog face I'm not!"
"I can certainly agree on the shut up part"
"hah?! What are you saying m'lady you don't want me to speak ever again?"
"I never said I want you to go mute, I only agreed for you to be quiet since we are trying to figure out about Mitsuba new friend"
"why won't we ask Tsukasa about that"
"oh hell we are not, that guy is scary"
"well you are not wrong on that, actually where is he?"
"problem going around killing Mokke"
"damn poor Mokke"
"indeed poor Mokke, while Tsukasa may be scary he's still useful"
"you're right about that"
"Can we go back to the [Y/N] situation?!"
"ah right, as I said there's literally nothing that they can be, they are definitely not an apparition,a human,a ghost there's completely nothing that they can be"
"I still think Mitsuba is either in love or delulu"
"I already said I'm not in love, and I'm definitely not delusional!"
"Alright, Alright your not"
"I'm going to go now"
Mitsuba then leaves the broadcasting room and starts walking towards the rooftop, what does Natsuhiko mean by in love? You are only his friend and nothing else, though if he had to be honest you pretty cute wait what is he saying?!
"Alright maybe I am in love, that sounds so weird coming out of my mouth"
"heh you in love?"
"What the?! Kou what are you doing here and how much did you hear?!"
"number one I go to this school so I'm obviously here, two I heard everything and yeah that sounded weird when you said it, anyway who is it?"
"oh right...as for your question, I'm not telling"
"why not? maybe I can help you"
Mitsuba thought more about it, he wanted to tell Kou but for some reason he didn't, I mean you told him nobody could see you even an exorcist so there's no way Kou could see you, and probably like Natsuhiko would call him delulu... Damn maybe he is delulu.
No there's no way he's delusional I mean he saw you and held your hand there's just no way everything was his imagination.
"who they are doesn't matter anyway I should get going I... I want to take a few pictures around the school"
"I could go with you"
"there's no need I can do it by myself, see you around"
Mitsuba then walks away, while he originally wanted to see you he decided to actually go and take some pictures for inspiration since he thinks you need them,do you need them? Maybe who knows
While Mitsuba was taking pictures he looked up towards the rooftop and saw you there writing something,he couldn't help but to smile happy he met you and could call you his friend, if he had to be honest while he desires to tell you about his feelings, he's just concorned yeah you knew him for a month or two but what if he destroys you guys friendship... He doesn't want that, you are one of the few people that can see him and is his friend, did he really want to risk it? Did he want to risk the chance of you starting to hate him and tell him you never want to see him again?
That would probably be one of his worst nightmares...you hating him and not wanting to see him, maybe even forget him.he certainly didn't want that Kou already forgot him before and started remembering him a few months ago, yes Kou is important to him but you? You are different he doesn't know why but you seem a lot more different when Mitsuba thinks about you he can't help but see you as some kind of goddess, beautiful in every way even the things that you think makes you ugly makes him love you even more, he loves you in every shape and form you like the sun to his moon he wants, no needs you to shine, when he looks through his camera he can only see pictures he took for you or genuinely you, looking so pretty and majectict even if you do some kind of a stupid pose you still look beautiful...absolutely amazing
Was it your looks or the mystery you hold maybe even both? You certainly took this ghost heart, a heart that will beat for you and only you his dear beloved...wait you not even dating him why did he call you his beloved damn maybe he is delulu
Well who knows maybe you will be his beloved when he will get the confidence to finally confess his love to you, when will this day come? He doesn't know
୨⎯ "One hour later" ⎯୧
"Heyyyy [Y/N]"
"oh hi Mitsuba you here early do you ne-"
"I have feelings for you"
"eh?! Wait could you repeat that?"
"I said I have feelings for you"
Well that was surprising and something you didn't expect Mitsuba THE Mitsuba telling you he loves you?!
Either your delulu or that's actually happening... Holy shit you didn't expect that, I mean I don't think it's a bad idea for you to date Mitsuba, yeah he can be a dick but come on he's silly, just a silly little guy so it's understandable that you will say yes isn't it?

Those voices...they back why? Ugh that doesn't matter Mitsuba just confessed to you and you love him back, so just say yes and ignore this damn voice
"I feel the same way Mitsuba, I like you too truly"
"wait really?!"
"yeah really,you may be an idiot but you an adorable one"
"...now I don't know if I should be mad or embarrassed"
"based on your face, you both at the same moment"
"you just had to ruin the moment..."
"did I really"
Before Mitsuba could reply you pecked him on the lips and laughed at how red he was, honestly he looked idiotic like that but still cute, well what can you say you got yourself a cute boyfriend with a very high ego which can be annoying but who isn't annoying in this era?
After the confession you and Mitsuba got even closer and the voices stopped again,you didn't know if it was good or not I mean they stopped earlier but came back just how they didn't bother you back then now they seem to be the most annoying thing ever, but who cares about those voices you were enjoying time with your boyfriend even sometimes drawing corny stuff just to make him embarrassed or write something like this, for some reasons when you wrote them he kept caring you a pervert, meh you know he doesn't mean it he's just embarrassed just like the little shit he is, you can't help but look at the notebook and see drawings and short stories about you the more days passed the more cuter the stories were...it brought you comfort,but how could you feel comfort if you don't remember it? It's honestly scary... feeling comfort as if it was your most important memory...if it was why can't you remember it? It was important but it seems like it wasn't at the same damn time.
Honestly you hope that mysterious memory that you can't remember will eventually disappear...

Death... that's all you remember, you remember a sudden light thinking it's heaven... It wasn't you ended up waking up in your old school Kamome Academy, yet you don't remember anything of it you don't remember your classmates,teachers you don't even remember your life in it, except an odd feeling like you know this place before you became an apparition, you didn't really bother doing anything you just sat under a tree and wrote some stuff in a notebook you found laying on the ground, you usually wrote some silly stories or drew stuff you saw around you.
During your first week as a ghost you realized that nobody could see you, which was obvious but there were also other supernaturals that couldn't see you which made you very confused and upset?

Ah them again, just ignore them it's not like you can hear what they are saying plus who needs company you better alone, with nobody to judge you...
You were on the roof top drawing some frogs, until you heard a sound of a camera click and noticed a boy behind you with pink hair and pink eyes, you weren't really bothered with him after all nobody could see you why would he be different.

You returned to drawing before a shadow hit your notebook you looked behind and saw the same boy looking at your drawing,
"can I help you?"
"ah sorry I just, got curious why you are here alone"
...what he can see you, well that's certainly a surprise, you been here for a while and nobody noticed you and suddenly he did.
There's no way, are you losing your mind or something?! Wait can you even lose your mind when you are already dead...? Ehh who knows
"hey are you listening? You look really stupid like that"
"and who's talking, you are literally a human version of pinkie pie"
"Excuse me?! I'm way cuter than that"
"yeah yeah sure pinkie"
"you little...ehhh anyway what are you doing here?"
"is it not obvious? I'm drawing"
"yeah I know but why here?"
"nobody really comes here, and even if they did they probably wouldn't see me"
"what do you mean by that idiot?"
"...idiot? Really? Can't you be more creative?"
"hey! I don't want to think about some damn nickname for you"
"alright then, as for your question nobody can see me even supernaturals"
"alright now that's delusional, I'm sure they can see you"
"trust me they can't also, if they could see me the council president would have exorcised me ages ago"
"you do have a point dumbass"
"...I give up on even trying to mention the nickname, anyway who even are you?"
"My name is Mitsuba Sousuke, and you?"
"[Y/N] [L/N] it's a pleasure to meet you Mitsuba"
"I guess the same here"

This time when you hear that voice you cover your ears for some reason, this time the voice sounded more disturbing?
"Hey are you alright?!"
"yeah yeah, I'm fine you don't have to worry about that, it's just ehhh it doesn't matter"
"actually I got a question for you Mitsuba"
"question? What is it?"
"have we met before? I mean did I know you before?"
"I...I don't think so?"
"hmm alright thanks for answering it, if you want you can sit next to me"
"Alright then..."
After your random question Mitsuba started thinking more about it, I mean he does remember knowing Kou but you? He didin't know you before did he?
After the meeting Mitsuba started going to the rooftop more often to see you, to watch you draw or write sometimes finding inspiration for you around the school, even after some time he didn't know if knew you before, he would be a liar if he said that wasn't bothering him.
"oh hi Mitsuba you here early aren't you?"
"ah yes, yes I am..."
"is something wrong? you acting odd"
"Odd? What do you mean by that?"
"well firstly you didn't call me an idiot, second you here earlier than usual and lastly you don't have that stupid face"
"I don't have a stupid face! I have a cute one"
"sure pinkie... Anyway is there anything you want to talk about?"
"not really, I just thought maybe I should sit here with you and see what you like so much about this rooftop, which is idiotic"
"well then feel free to do so,I will return to drawing"
"You've been drawing a lot more recently, did you forget how to write?"
"I didn't I just don't have any ideas"
"hmmm, well have you thought about writing about what if you were alive?"
"I don't remember anything when I was alive"
"I'm sure there's something you remember there's no way you don't"
"trust me if I did I wouldn't be on this rooftop, I would be somewhere else"
"I guess I understand that, well you can write how you wish your life was before you died, that's an option"
"True...well I guess I could try that,hmmm well then I guess I could try"
Mitsuba looks down at the paper you are starting to write on and sees you writing the title "Yearning for change"
"yearning for change? Why that title?"
"I don't know, it just feels right, I guess?"
Mitsuba just nodded his head at that, wondering what was up with you, I mean he remembered his life before he died yet you don't remember yours? I guess that's what drew him closer to you, closer to that mystery
