The Next Day

On their way to school, Yato and Handa meet up and begin to start talking more about where to find the key. Yato telling Handa that he ran into someone who gave him a hint about where the key might be.

"Hopefully we can find it during lunch or after school." Handa says with a smile on his face as they enter the school grounds.

Yato nods, smiling brightly, but then his smile falters for a moment as he feels a slight chill run down his spine. Immediately he stops walking, and begins to look around the school, searching for something. Soon, his blue eyes lock with someone's dull amber brown eyes with pinkish flecks. Just about 100-200 feet away is the person he saw yesterday in passing. Them having shaggy short dark sky blue hair with bright red tips, only going to the base of their neck.

"Hey! It's you from yesterday!" Yato beams quickly rushing to be in front of them.

They don't show any emotion of being surprised, but their mind begins wondering about the boy. Kitstujito just stares at Yato, not blinking, or doing anything. Yato awaits for a response, but Kitsujito will never respond.

"Where are you from? Do you go to this school as well?" Yato continues after not getting an answer.

He still receives no response from them. Though, their mind is definitely not silent.

'Just who is this person? Why can he see me? How can he see me? Why is he even bothering to talk to me?' Kitsu's mind buzzes, trying to figure out the answer to the questions.

"What, cat got your tongue? Or do you just not talk? You gonna ignore me like my girlfriend?" Yato asks childishly, moving around to observe them.

Kitsu turns their head to follow him, then they hold up their hand and pushes him away.

"Oh, so you are alive!" Yato says relieved that they moved.

Kitsu raises an eyebrow and begins to sign, "Why were you in the old school building yesterday?"

"So that was you! Me and my friend were looking for the locked janitor's closet of the school's forgotten mystery no. 8!" Yato answers with excitement emanating from him.

"Why?" Kitsu signs, tilting their head.

"Because we want cats to follow us until we graduate high school!" Yato beams happily in response.

"But cursing is bad, why would you want to find that useless person?" Kitsu signs, frowning a little bit.

"Well usually, yes it is. But, this involves cats. Cats are so adorable! I met my girlfriend because of one actually. And useless person? No one is ever truly useless. Why would you call school mystery no. 8 that?" Yato asks tilting his head, confused.

"Because they are. Why else would they be forgotten?" Kitsu signs back, frowning a little bit more.

"That's probably because people are always easily forgettable. Trust me, I should know." Yato says, his face darkening.

Kitsu blinks, their face becoming neutral again, "You can believe that all you want, but they are useless." They continue putting themselves down.

"It's not that I believe it, I've lived it." Yato says staring directly into Kitsu's dull orbs.

"This is going nowhere. I'm leaving." Kitsu signs and begins walking away to find the broadcast room.

"Wait! At least tell me what your name is!" Yato hollers causing them to stop and turn to face him.

"My name doesn't matter. But, if it makes you happy, I'm Mezuteiji Kitsujito. It would be better to just forget about me though. It'll be the best for the both of us." Kitsu signs back before turning back around and walking off.

Yato stares, then looks down, spotting something on the ground. He squats down, and picks up the item to examine it. It's a simple looking silver key, directly where Kitsu was standing. His mind begins racing with thoughts about who the boy might be, assuming it's a boy.

'Just who is that boy? What does he know about the school mystery no. 8?' Yato's mind thinks as he stands up, and stares after the boy before realizing that class is about to start. He then rushes into the school building, and straight to class.
