Soraru was still staring at the brunette in confusion. Sakata was looking back and forth between his hand and the brunette.

"Hey Soraru, am I the only one able to change him?" Sakata asked the raven-haired.

Soraru shrugged before deciding to try, he poked the brunette's tattoo, only for his finger to go through Urata. This made the three of them become even more confused.

"Why is it just me?" Sakata asked in curiosity.

"Guess we'll have to ask sensei."

"Should we go right now after school?"

"Probably."

"The others are probably wondering what's taking so long." Sakata stated as the other two remembered that the guys were waiting for them.

"Let's go~"

Urata floated in front of them with a grin on his face. Soraru rolled his eyes at the brunette's childish action while Sakata watched the brunette. The redhead was still wondering why he seemed to be able to turn Urata back into a human.

They walked back to the gates, Soraru was happy that they didn't run into the third-years. He glanced to his side to see Urata tease the redhead. He smirked to himself, Sakata was pouting and glaring at the brunette with a faint blush on his face. They made it to the gates and Sakata was immediately tackled by Luz and Mafu.

"E-Eh?" Sakata let out a startle cry as the two males giggled.

"I think you're suffocating him guys." Senra stated.

The two let go of the redhead, who took a few deep breathes to recover from the sudden death hug.

"What took you so long?" Nqrse asked, though he knew what it was.

"Just had to make sure we didn't bump into one of the bullies." Soraru said as he glanced at the redhead.

Sakata noticed the glance and nodded his head in a way to confirm the raven-haired's statement. Nqrse, Luz smiled pitifully at the raven-haired while Amatsuki saw the sakura tattoo on the redhead's neck.

"So Sakata died next."

The redhead flinched at hearing the red eyed brunette's voice. He looked at Soraru, who mentally facepalmed himself for forgetting to tell the redhead.

"Telepathy," was the only thing he said as the redhead made an 'o' expression.

"Nqrse, Amatsuki and Luz died before you so they have an ability too."

"R-Really?"

Sakata was a bit disturbed at the fact that his friends had died before and he didn't even know. The brunette seemed to notice his discomfort and lightly patted the redhead.

"Oi. They're fine now, no big deal."

"How can he be so carefree?" Luz questioned to himself as the others shrugged.

"Well let's go, I want to go home already." Amatsuki said as Soraru rolled his eyes.

"I said you guys could go on without me."

"Yeah, but nah." Shima said as he grinned at the raven-haired.

Soraru sighed and walked with them. He just watched them all laugh and joke around as he followed behind them. They get to live their life without having to remember the terrible things that happened to them. Soraru smiled sadly before he heard the redhead talk

"I feel bad for you Soraru."

"Huh?"

Soraru looked at the redhead that was walking next to him. Sakata gave the raven-haired a small smile.

"You have to suffer and remember all of us dying while we're just hopeless about it."

"Eh?"

Soraru then noticed that the sakura on Sakata's neck was red instead of pink. That means that he's using his powers, but he doesn't even know how to.

"My tattoo is red? And I'm using my powers?"

Sakata looked at the raven-haired and titled his head in confusion. Urata just stared at the redhead in surprise.

"Seriously?"

"What?"

"He can read minds."

"I can?"

Sakata stared at the brunette, who shook his head at the redhead's denseness. Urata then pinched the male's cheeks as he spoke to him.

"How much of an idiot can you be?"

"H-Hey! O-Oww. S-Stop that!"

Sakata was complaining to the brunette, who smirked as he continued to pull the redhead's cheeks. They're squishy, what a fatty.

"I'm not fat!"

Soraru watched the two in amusement and sighed at their pointless banter. He gave the two an annoyed glare.

"Oi. Quit it. Both of you are giving me a headache."

Urata let go of the redhead's face as he pouted at the raven-haired. Sakata rubbed his cheeks to ease the small pain.

"So this idiot can read minds, then we don't need to visit Akimasa sensei now."

"No we still are."

"Why?"

"To ask about your situation, like how Sakata is the only one able to change you back?"

Urata was silent as he pondered on a possibility, Sakata was still curious on that. They continued to walk until the guys parted ways. Mafu noticed that Sakata and Soraru seemed to head towards the same direction.

"Eh? Don't you live over there Sakata?"

Mafu pointed at the opposite direction as the redhead began to think of a believable lie. Urata found it funny how Sakata seemed to struggle coming up with one. Soraru swiftly replied to the albino for the redhead.

"He wanted me to tutor him so we're going to my house."

Mafu looked between the two males. He didn't know why but he felt uneasy after hearing the raven-haired's words. Why do I seem upset at that? Sakata unconsciously heard the albino's thoughts and widened his eyes before grinning to himself. Is Mafu finally..... The albino shook his head and smiled at them.

"Okay! See ya tomorrow guys."

Mafu waved goodbye to them and he walked away. The raven-haired lazily waved back before walking towards the therapy building. Sakata was tempted to poke the brunette's neck again but chose not to because he didn't want to face an annoyed Urata. They arrived at the building, the same greeting as usual, and found themselves back into the older albino's office for the fourth time.

"So Sakata has the ability to read minds." Akimasa stated after the three told them what happened.

"Seems so." Soraru said as the older male smiled.

"But why did you come here if you already know?"

"Cause we have questions~"

The older male looked at the brunette and noticed that there was a tattoo on Urata's neck. He then looked at Sakata before realizing what they meant.

"So Sakata and Urata have gained abilities."

"Yeah but why sensei? I mean they only gain an ability once they die, but Urata didn't die."

"What's my ability?"

Urata was more curious on his ability rather than why he got a tattoo. He didn't really care at all. He just wanted to see what ability he would get now.

"Well I can't really tell, did you try to use it?"

"Nope."

Akimasa gave the brunette an 'are you serious' look as Urata pouted at the reprimanding gaze towards him. Soraru rolled his eyes before going back to talking to the older male again.

"Also something strange happened."

Soraru looked at Sakata, who understood what the raven-haired meant and went to poke the brunette's tattoo. Urata was now standing on the floor, no longer transparent. The older male looked at the brunette in shock before smiling.

"I see now."

"So what's my ability?" Urata asked as he crossed his arms, it felt weird to have a body, to actually be alive again.

"Your's is immortality."

"Ooh~ cool~"

The brunette was impressed at his ability. Sakata giggled at the brunette's boasting. The redhead's giggle sounded like music to his ears, Urata blushed a bit before looking away from the redhead.

"But how could I use my power?"

Urata titled his head, he was wondering if he could control whenever he wanted to be a human or ghost.

"Let's try something, Sakata can you leave the room?"

"Eh?"

The redhead was confused by the request. He wasn't the only one, Soraru and Urata were also puzzled by the older male's request. Akimasa just gave him a warm smile, Sakata then walked out of the room leaving the brunette and raven-haired alone with the older male.

"Try using your powers." Akimasa said to the brunette.

Urata concentrated but nothing happened. He looked confused as Akimasa went to let the redhead back in. Soraru and Sakata were wondering what this had to do with Urata's ability.

"Now try again."

Urata gave him an annoyed expression.

"If it didn't work before, why would it work now?"

"Trust me, try again."

Urata saw no point in this but tried again. He concentrated but had doubts of it working at all. However, he was able to become a ghost without the redhead poking his tattoo.

"Eh?"

"So it's just as I thought, your ability is linked in a way with Sakata."

"What do you mean sensei?" Soraru asked as the redhead was also visibly confused.

"Did anything occur when Sakata died?"

"No." Urata said before remembering about the redhead's death.

"Well actually I touched him while he was drowning and I felt like I was drowning too."

"Well that answers your previous question Soraru."

The raven-haired looked at the older male in confusion.

"Urata experienced Sakata's death so he did die in a way."

Urata looked towards a wall, not wanting them to see his tensed expression. Sakata felt bad that the brunette experienced an almost death because of him.

"Seems like it linked your souls." Akimasa said as he smiled at the brunette.

"Huh?"

"Basically you can use your ability whenever he either touches your tattoo or is close by in the area."

"WAIT?! WHAT?! MY ABILITY MEANS I HAVE TO RELY ON THIS IDIOT?!?"

Soraru and Sakata winced at the brunette's shouting. Soraru glared at Urata, who was still staring at Akimasa in shock.

"Oi! Don't shout!"

"Shut up!"

"You can still change on your own, as long as Sakata is close by. Or you can be forced to change to either form by your tattoo being touched by Sakata."

Urata crossed his arms in irritation. No way am I letting him poke my neck anymore. So I have to be with this idiot whenever I want to use my ability.

"Stop calling me an idiot!" Sakata shouted at the brunette as he glared at him in annoyance.

"You are one!"

Soraru just sighed in frustration as the two began to bicker. He was on the verge on hitting them but restrained himself as he looked at the older male. He spoke to Akimasa, ignoring the bickering between the redhead and brunette.

"Is that the only reason?"

"I think it also has to do with the book. You said the story was a lover crying over the death of their loved one."

"Yeah."

"Well if I remember correctly, the story continues with the lover giving up half of their soul to bring the other back. After all, they were destined to be together by the red string of fate."

"How fitting, seeing as Urata loves Sakata." Soraru mumbled to himself while the older male chuckled.

"No matter what happens they will always have each other's back. One can't be without the other."

"Well thanks for everything sensei." Soraru said as he turned to face the other two.

He saw that Urata was about to smack the redhead. Soraru sighed as he walked up and smacked both of them. The two stopped bickering as they held their heads in pain.

"Quit it."

Urata glared at the raven-haired, who just stared back at him with a nonchalant expression. Sakata was rubbing his head before hiding behind Soraru as a way to defend himself from the brunette.

"Urata is so mean, how did you manage to deal with him for that long?"

"I ask myself that everyday."

"Oi!" Urata shouted in irritation as Sakata stuck out his tongue like a child.

"Let's just go home now." Soraru waved goodbye to the older male and walked out of the room. Urata and Sakata followed behind him.

They were walking towards the raven-haired's house. Urata was still getting used to walking after being a ghost for so long.

"Ah~ I can't believe I get to talk to your parents again." Urata said with a smile before he felt himself get pulled back by Soraru.

"Oi. What are you doing?"

"Walking." Urata replied, Soraru gave him a blank expression.

"Turn back to a ghost."

"Eh? Why should I?"

Soraru then grabbed the redhead's hand and made Sakata touch the brunette's tattoo. Urata was now floating again, he gave Soraru an annoyed look.

"Why'd you do that?!"

"You're forgetting the fact that my parents have seen your dead body, they know you died so how are we going to explain things when they see you alive and well?"

Urata made an 'o' expression before pouting like a child. Sakata found the action to look cute of the brunette. He blushed after he realized what he thought and looked away so the other two wouldn't notice the blush.

"Then what's the point of being able to turn back into a human."

"You still can, just not when we're at my house or Luz's house. They'll definitely freak out if they see you look like as if nothing happened."

Urata sighed before nodding his head.

"Fine."

"Well my house is around here, see ya guys." Sakata said as he walked away.

Urata watched the redhead leave, he then touched to where his tattoo was and unconsciously smiled. Soraru noticed the action and smirked as he teased the brunette.

"Now you can finally talk with him instead of just watching him."

"Oi! Shut it!"
