"Hey wake up!" Y/n rubbed her eyes and saw that Natsuhiko was infront of her. "Good morning, princess!"

      Y/n immediately punched him on the face. "What the hell are you trying to do you pervert of a simp?!"

      Natsuhiko held his face. Y/n was stuck between saying 'sorry' and 'what the fuck' so she said something else. "Are you fucking sorry?!" she asked.

      "You really are the foul mouthed Y/n." Natsuhiko tells her. Y/n scoffed as she stood up and looked around to see a lot of doors.

      "Guess I have to tone down my swearing." Y/n sighed. "But fucking Tsukasa though——"

      Natsuhiko stood there as Y/n cleared her throat. "The room sank." she told him. "Is this a boundary?"

      'It has a lot of doors though, and the little mokke.' Y/n thought to herself.

      "I don't think it's quite the same as a Boundary."

      Y/n's eyes widened as she recognized the voice. Her heart was pounding when she realized who it was.

      Hanako-kun.

      "Where are you?" she asked while looking around hoping to find the apparition boy in the place.

      "Over here!" a Mokke carried the radio towards Y/n, it's ears struggling to carry it until she took it from it so he won't get squished.

      "Hey there Y/n!" Hanako greeted her. "Given where you are, I guess you got tricked again."

      Y/n sighed in frustration. "Honestly, the instant I take my eyes off you, you go straight to apparitions."

      "Then, you shouldn't take your eyes off of me then." Y/n told him while chuckling softly at his scolding.

      Hanako chuckled from the other line. "What a hopeless assistant." he said.

      Y/n started to tear up. "Hanako-kun." she said while holding the radio. "I got fucking kidnapped and then they had this fancy ass tea party so I tried to be careful, and then this little rat shit started to sink me and this simp next to me!"

      "Do you have something to say to me, Y/n?"

      Y/n sighed as she placed the radio to the floor. "I'm sorry for getting tricked, I would do whatever the fuck you want just help us and don't think about unholy thoughts."

      "Good." Hanako says while holding the telephone from the other line. "I don't know how long this signal would last, so I'll make it short."

      "The place you are in now isn't the world of the living or the dead, or even a boundary." Hanako explained to them. "It's nowhere."

      "Nowhere?" Y/n questioned.

      "That's right. It's both everywhere and nowhere." Hanako continued. "You can reach anywhere in the past or future from it."

      "I'll try to save you by relying on our bond and having haku-joudai look for you. I'd like you to do your part, Y/n."

      "What should I do then?"

      "You can see a lot of doors, right?" Hanako asked her.

      "Yeah." Y/n replied.

      "Each of those doors connects to a different place and a different world." Hanako tells her. "There should be one that connects to the original world somewhere. I want you to find that door and open it."

      "So I'll just open some doors?" Y/n asked the radio.

      "Doors that you can recognize, some doors connect to dangerous places, though." Hanako warned her. "So you better be careful though."

      "I really wish you had.... with me... Then I..." the radio started to lose signal that made Y/n feel worried.

      "Hanako-kun?"

      "No... of time... Good lu...." the call ended just like that. Y/n looked at the radio and sighed.

      "It cut off." she said.

      "Are you done?" Natsuhiko asked her.

      "Yeah, he told me to just open some doors that I recognize." Y/n explained to him.

      "If one of the Seven Wonders said it, then it's right." Natsuhiko stated as he went to a random door and knocked. "How about this one?"

      Natsuhiko opened the first door which revealed that there were two men talking to each other with headphones on, one with blue hair and the other one with long brown hair.

      "Yah! Bubble tea! Tapioca Pearl!" the blue haired guy yelled at the person infront of him.

      "Butterfly effect?" the brown haired boy answered. The blue sighed in defeat as the boy infront of him turned around to pass the answer to the next player.

      "Wrong door but it ain't dangerous." Y/n closed the door. Natsuhiko went to the next door and knocked.

      "Oh and also he said to be careful since some of them lead to dangerous places!" Y/n reminded him.

      "Anyone home? Just kidding——" Natsuhiko casually opened the door to reveal a large green figure.

      "Yes, I'm home." it answered as Y/n squeaked and backed away a little. Natsuhiko turned around and made eye contact to the monster and slowly closes the door as his heart raced in fear.

      "You can scream, I won't judge." Y/n tells him as she puts her hand on her waist.

      "Let's pretend that didn't happen." Natsuhiko tells her. Y/n sighed as the two of them went to the next door which turned out to be full of Mokkes.

      "Third times the charm!" Natsuhiko opened the door to reveal a skeleton drowning in lava with a thumbs up.

      "I'll be back." it said.

      "Then it must be this one!" Natsuhiko opened the next door which was full of flames which made him scream. Y/n facepalmed as she opened the door next to her.

      "O-RAN-GE-A-DE!" the same brown haired man yelled at the platinum blonde haired boy infront of him.

      "Orangeaaaaa"

      "YAH! ORANGEADE! ORANGEADE!"

      Y/n closed the door awkwardly and looked at Natsuhiko. "Some of them have men playing the whisper game, if you know that is." she told him.

      Natsuhiko closed the door. "I got it, I'll be careful." he said.

      Y/n sighed. "Why am I stuck with you."

      The two of them walked to the next door. "Sorry about that." he said scratching his hair. "I'm with a cute girl so I had to show off."

      "Did anyone tell you on how much of a simp——" Natsuhiko cut her off by opening the next door which was a chameleon wrapping it's tongue at the simp and screamed.

      'I guess Natsuhiko-senpai is just trying to cheer me up but it isn't working, he's such a dumbass.'

      "Aren't you mad at Nanamine-senpai? Who just betrayed you and brought us here?" Y/n asked the brown haired senior.

      "Not a bit!" Natsuhiko assured her. "Besides, she didn't really betray me, you could say this is her way of showing her love."

      Y/n wanted to smack the hell out of him on how much of a simp he is, but she held back because it will waste her energy. Natsuhiko reached over to the door handle. "So basically, this is a test of love." he said.

      "Oh my god, can't you just take this thing seriously——?" The large green figure caught Natsuhiko and dragged him inside the door.

      "Y-Y/n-chan!" he called out. "Good luck."

      The door slammed shut leaving Y/n by herself and the Mokkes. She was glad that he was gone, it's not like she's gonna miss him anyways since he's working for Sakura and Tsukasa.

      A Mokke rested on top of her head as she leaned against the close door. "What should I do." she sighed. "I miss Hanako-kun, so badly."

      Y/n looked over to the Mokke and brought it to her hands. "You're not gonna say a thing to him, okay?" she told the Mokke. "It's just that, Hanako-kun is not that bad, he's just holding back things sometimes. I'm not saying that I'm going to force him for telling me his past."

      Y/n rubbed the Mokke's head and sighed hopelessly. "I miss his hugs, you know."

      Just then Y/n heard a familiar sound. She shushed the Mokkes to listen to the familiar tune. Y/n saw the old classroom door, she cheered as she opened it to reveal a classroom.

      Y/n stared at the old classroom. "It is now 5:30. Children playing outside please take care and return home."

      Y/n brushed her hair off her face and entered the classroom. Her shoes clicking at every step until she heard something.

      "W-Who are you?" a boy with black choppy hair and amber like eyes with a bandage on his left cheek asked her. Y/n recognized the boy immediately.

      "Hanako-kun?" she asked then shook her head.

      'No this is Yugi Amane, the past Hanako-kun, the person whom I saw in the library last time.'

      Y/n crouched down to his level as she looked at his bruises. "Are you okay?" she asked him with concern. The boy blushed a bit as Y/n gently grabbed his hand to check the wound.

      "I know you don't know me, but I know you Amane-kun." Y/n tells him with a reassuring smile. "My name is Y/n."

      Y/n checked his wrist. "It looks painful. What happened to it?" she asked.

      "N-nothing." he answered with a shaky breath. Y/n knew what this person had been through.

      Y/n reached over to his face to wipe Amane's tears. He flinched at her touch and eventually let her do it. Y/n didn't even hesitate as she hugged him. She felt the urge to comfort him as she rubbed circles behind his back.

      Amane slightly pushed her away. "I-I need to go! Goodbye!" he said running off.

      "Wait!" Y/n called him. A key with a rocket keychain fell from him as he ran off to the door. The girl picked the key up and examined it.

      Y/n stood up. "Hey, isn't this——?"

      Just then a haku-joudai appeared as hit circled around Y/n. "Found you!"

      "Amane-kun!" Y/n reached for the running boy until her vision got blurry.

      Y/n was launched out of the third bathroom stall. Just as she was about to hit the ground, Hanako caught her. "And you've arrived!" he announced.

      "Hanako-kun?"

      Hanako placed his hands on her shoulders. "Why are you wearing weird clothes?"

      "No idea." Y/n shrugged.

      "Excuse me for a sec."

      Hanako immediately hugged her tightly that made Y/n's face heat up at the sudden action. "Sorry." he told her. "I've been wanting to apologize for ruining your donuts the other day."

      "Will you forgive me?"

      Y/n smiled. "Yes."

      "Great." Hanako sighed in relief.

      In a blink of an eye, Y/n's clothes were back to her uniform. "There, I like you better like this." he grinned.

      "I like me better when I'm with you." Y/n smiled still holding to the keychain that she got.
