Quick disclaimer: Yato belongs to the creator of Noragami, Handa belongs to the creator of Handa-kun/Barakamon, and any characters that are not OCs or made up characters to spread rumors, belong to the creator of Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun. The only one that belongs to me is my OC, school mystery no. 8, Kitsujito Mezuteiji.

After searching for several hours, neither Yato, nor Handa found the key. So they decided to try searching for it the next day, and called it a day, for now.

Handa quickly made his way home, meanwhile Yato heads back in to find his stuff that he dropped earlier on his way out. On his way in, he sees someone heading up the stairs. He tilts his head before following them.

'There shouldn't be anyone left in the school....' Yato thinks, climbing up farther, until the third floor, finally seeing the back of the person.

"Hey! Who are you?" Yato calls out to the person.

They turn around, and look at him with a slightly scary look on their face.

"Who am I?" A boys voice sounds from the person, "You know, it's impolite to ask someone else's name before providing your own." He says reaching his hand into his old middle school uniform.

"You're a little cheeky, aren't you? Fine, have it your way. I'm Yato!" Yato says with a big grin on his face, "Who are you?" He asks with a raised eyebrow, still grinning.

As if satisfied with his quick response, he responds cockily, "I'm Hanako, Hanako of the toilet."

Yato's eyes widen in realization, "So, you're the seventh school mystery that I've heard about."

"The one and only." Hanako says taking a small bow.

"Then, I assume you know of the eighth school mystery, right?" Yato asks, his eyes slightly becoming a little dark with anticipation.

"Yes, I do. What of it?" Hanako asks with clear annoyance dripping from his voice.

"Do you know where the key to the janitor's closet is then?" Yato asks, his childishness slipping out in his tone.

"No, I don't. Try finding it yourself. I have things to do." Hanako says, lying hardcore through his teeth, starting to turn around.

Yato, unsure if Hanako is lying or not, doesn't buy it, closing the space between two, grabbing Hanako's wrist. He pulls on it, making Hanako turn back around and look at the serious gleam in Yato's eyes. His facial expression showing that he doesn't believe what Hanako told him.

"You sure about that?" Yato asks, his eyes giving away how serious he really is.

Hanako, unphased by his look, stares back as he responds, "You sure are persistent to find mystery no. 8 aren't you?" Yato just nods, causing Hanako to sigh, "The mystery wants no visitors, but if you want the key, I'd check outside the room or in the bushes and trees up to five meters away from the building. It should be there." He responds, then yanks his hand away from Yato.

Yato's serious expression changes to a big grin, eyes shining with glee, "Thank you Hanako!" He then dashes away, leaving Hanako to stare in wonder, blinking.

'How did he touch me? I didn't sense death from him, or anything....' Hanako thinks before shaking his head to clear his thoughts, 'It's not my problem. She can handle herself. It's not like she's going to lose that key in her pocket. Whatever, time to plan what to have Yashiro do tomorrow!~' Hanko thinks as he enters the bathroom, a big grin on his face, eyes beaming with excitement and enjoyment of his teasing.

Meanwhile, as Yato gathers his stuff from downstairs, his thoughts are whirling with pure excitement about finding the key.

'Gonna find the key tomorrow~' His mind repeats as he quickly heads home.
