SLIGHT SPOILERS!

Yashiro wistfully stared outside of the window, her toilet stall right beside her, making her think how much she started to get annoyed by the view. A lady forced to be trapped in a boys' toilets isn't really a pleasing title she'd want to stick with her.

A hum left her mouth, followed by a small giggle when she noticed a boy with tied hair trip and fall over a rock because he was too busy taking pictures.

The door creaked open.

Alarmed, Yashiro quickly trudged inside of her toilet stall and patiently waited for the person to either go away, or do his business.

"H. . .Hanako-san, Hanako-san—"

Yashiro mentally cursed, not expecting someone to summon her after all of those years. She felt pity for those who try to summon her but never got to see her—

"Are you. . ."

It's been like, what, 5 years since she last interacted with a student? Maybe 10. Who knows, no one's keeping count.

"Are you there?"

Suddenly, Yashiro got this strong feeling wash over her. There was a tug, on her chest and her whole body. As if there was a sensation forcing her to go outside of the stall and take a look at the boy.

She rarely got this feeling, which means—

The boy is close to the far shore.

Yashiro's eyes widened in panic when she heard the boy sigh in disappointment and his steps slowly faint away.

"Why did I even believe that stupid rumor anyway?" The boy sighed. And Yashiro really liked his voice.

Yashiro floated behind him and lightly blew his ear, watching the way the boy shivered. "Who says that it's just a stupid a rumor?" Yashiro asked, a smirk on her face.

The boy turned around, not realizing the alarmingly close proximity between them — their noses could've touched, had it not passed through her body because she's a ghost. Ghosts are transparent, unfortunately.

Yashiro also liked his eyes. Wide and golden, so pretty.

"A-Are you. . .?"

Yashiro chuckled shyly and tipped her hat. "Yes. Seventh of the mysteries, Hanako-san of the toilets." She met his eyes once again, and she smirked, causing the boy to flush red. "Nice to meet you." Two floating creatures surrounded her, as if they're guards.

"Then. . . why are you a girl!?" The cute boy exclaimed, a faint dust of red on his cheeks. "The rumors said all those stuff that you grant wishes and all, but you're supposed to be a boy!"

Yashiro hummed and inched her face closer to his. "Why? Would that be a problem for our business?" She smiled, amused when the boy frantically shook his head. "So—"

"My name is Yugi Amane! I am a first year highschool in Kamome Academy, and my wish is to have a friend!"

Yashiro was left speechless for a moment. Not only did Amane look so flustered for absolutely no reason, but his wish (for someone who has little time left) is pretty odd.

Yashiro just blinked. "You just wish for a friend? Not, like, high grades, money, or a girlfriend, maybe a—"

"A— A girlfriend!?" Amane jabbered out.

Yashiro smirked. "I can volunteer as tribute."

Amane blushed furiously, but for some reason, Yashiro noticed a glint in his eye. His posture became calm once again. "Well, in that case, I don't really mind." His voice still wavered slightly, but it came out rather smoothly, much to Yashiro and Amane's surprise.

It was Yashiro's turn to blush. "Gosh, you're such a flirt!"

Amane glared at her half-heartedly. "You're one to talk."

Yashiro just laughed. "Alright, alright then. Now—" her face became serious, yet a smirk graced her lips— "how about we go back to business?"

Amane nodded, elated with the situation. "Okay."

Yashiro placed a finger on her chin. "A friend, huh. Say, Amane, does that mean anyone can do?"

Oh, this will be fun.
