"Take my hand and let us dance till our feet get tired, not at each other."

The cerulean skies and the white fluffy clouds fit today's afternoon weather. [Name] invited Yashiro and Hanako on the rooftop to eat lunch together and hang out. The three of them are seated by the picnic blanket with [Name] between Hanako and Yashiro—she was looking over to what her friend was reading which is a book full of handsome guys.

"I wish that there will be a boy falling from the sky!" Yashiro dreamily sighs while hugging her book. [Name] could only nod in agreement while sipping on her tea listening to her friend's delusions for handsome boys. Hanako tapped her shoulder and whispered something to her.

"Is she always like that?" Hanako asked.

"Yep." [Name] answered with a shrug while pointing at Yashiro who is now fawning over the boys in the book. "That girl's a sucker for handsome boys." Although [Name] is like that too except that most of her crushes are fictional. "Sometimes, I daydream about my nonexistent anime crushes to come out of the screen one day and marry me—of course I do know the difference between reality and fiction."

"Besides, you don't need day dreams like that."

[Name] was chuckling about her fantasies until Hanako grabbed her face using one hand, squishing her cheeks together which surprised her. "When you have me~" He said while lowering his voice and moving closer to her.

"I've finally found you evil spirit!"

Followed by a loud sound of stomping on the roof, the three people glanced up to see a tall blond haired boy with bright blue eyes, a traffic earring attached to his ear while he was holding an umbrella. [Name] tilted her head to the side in confusion because first of all, how did he climb on top of the roof and second of all—'Mary Poppins, who?'

"A boy from the sky." Yashiro says.

"No, a boy from the roof." [Name] corrected.

Yashiro looked at the boy with sparkles all around her while hugging her book. The blonde boy hopped off the roof landing in a dramatic Spiderman pose. Now this is the third question, how the hell didn't he get hurt from that? The building he stood on is high as hell. "I am a Third Year in the Kamome Academy in the Junior Highschool department, Minamoto Kou." The blonde boy introduced himself. "Hehehe!"

Yashiro felt the fading attraction towards the guy while [Name] casually poured a cup of tea from her container and took a small sip. Hanako was just standing there like a bystander. [Name] pointed at Kou as she looked at Hanako. "You know him Hanako-kun?" [Name] asked. "He can see you as well."

"We never met in person though, but I think he is a member of the Minamoto Clan, so no wonder why he can see me." Hanako replied while looking at Kou, he tells them a little backstory to fill in the word count where long ago supernaturals were called youkai because they used to have stronger powers. One of the three most feared supernaturals were slained by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, a brilliant exorcist who is Kou's descendant.

"I see you know your stuff. So I'm gonna exorcise you!" Kou raised the umbrella getting ready to hit Hanako. As Kou was about to hit Hanako, the apparition boy held the umbrella with one hand and smirked at the blonde exorcist.

"I doubt you can pull that off." Hanako says with a smug.

'Lmao, this is like watching shounen anime but in real life.' [Name] thought while pouring another cup of tea while slowly sipping on it watching the scene in front of them unfold. Then again she knows where this is going, two people fighting in an anime and the end is them getting along for plot purposes. "I bet 100 yen these two will end up being friends."

Kou suddenly electrocuted Hanako from his umbrella that made the apparition boy in a shocked state with electric buzzes around his body. "That was shocking." [Name] told Yashiro until she realized that she needed to be a good person and stop them from fighting. "Oh wait! Hanako-kun is shocked!" She exclaimed. "Yashiro, look after Hanako for me!"

"This is the end Hanako!" Kou raised his staff to finish off Hanako once and for all until [Name] slides in the fight while raising her hands.

"Stop!"

Kou almost loses his balance when [Name] got in between them which made him annoyed. "You moron! Warn me before you butt in—" [Name] raised her chin, crossing her arms while furrowing her eyebrows at Kou, despite having a cute face she was never taken seriously when she gets mad, that is until you piss her off further. "Umm, and you are?" Kou stumbled upon his words.

"My name is [Name] [Surname], a first year in highschool. I'm Hanako-kun's assistant and friend." [Name] says while putting a hand on her chest as if she was proud to be the apparition's friend. Two of Hanako's haku-joudais were trying to wake Hanako up.

"And who is that?" Kou pointed at Yashiro.

"I'm Yashiro Nene, I'm [Name]'s lady friend." Yashiro says with a smile.

"May I ask you something, why are you being mean with Hanako-kun?" [Name] raised her eyebrow at Kou as she had an intimidating aura around her. "If you keep being mean to him, I swear—" [Name] warned as a shadow casted upon her eyes with an intimidating expression, rolling up her sleeves.

"H-Huh?" Kou asked her in confusion, he tried to talk to [Name] as calm as possible even though he was shaking because of how she was glaring. [Name] may look mean at first glance but she's actually nice, unless you're a jerk and get into her nerves then you can perceive her as mean. "B-But he's a super evil apparition, and ummm... I have to exorcise him for the sake of the school."

"Hanako-kun is not a bad apparition!" [Name] blocked an arm to protect the fallen Hanako from Kou. "He saved me for like two times—how can you say that he's an evil spirit. I don't understand!" She said while trying to defend Hanako, then again looking back she barely even knew him more than just the seventh mystery, at least that's what Hanako wants her to know only.

Kou grabbed her by the shoulders out of instinct. "That's nonesense [Surname]-senpai!" He says while looking at her [eye color] eyes in a serious manner. "He's not just any bad apparition, Hanako-san of the bathroom is a wicked spirit that it took all of my grandma's strength but she barely sealed him away." Kou explained in hopes that [Name] would understand as to why he needed to do this.

"He has a kitchen knife as a weapon, that's proof that he used it as a murder weapon when he was alive. He killed someone using that knife, Senpai." [Name] stepped back in utter shock from the information. Yashiro, who was listening to the whole thing, was shocked on what Kou told [Name] to wake her up. When [Name] realized that Kou was actually serious, she wanted to ask Hanako all about it.

As if he would ever give her an answer. "W-Well, he must have done that for a reason right?" [Name] stuttered nervously, there's no way Hanako would do something like that in the past.

"You're being tricked, Senpai!" Kou added while shaking her a bit to shake off her denial to even trust Hanako at this point. "You can't trust him!" He added. [Name] wondered where was this kid when she was dating Souho, if only he was there to pull out that one liner then maybe it would be more believable.

'I-I have trust issues...' [Name] wanted to blurt out. Hanako interrupts them by pointing the edge of his knife near Kou's neck while wrapping an arm around [Name]'s shoulder. His eyes changed into a dull color where the shine had faded away, it turned hollow.

"The cat's out of the bag now." Hanako remarked. Kou immediately moved away from Hanako to avoid being stabbed by the apparition himself. "Man, I wanted to keep it a secret for a while longer." He pouted with a shrug. [Name] gives him an 'are you fucking serious?' look when Hanako stepped back.

"Come, haku-joudai."

The two tsueshiros swirled around Hanako to transform him to have a cape. [Name] thought it looked good on him rather than having a plain ass gakuran uniform—at least Hanako has fashion sense, something tells her that he would look good in anything. "It is true that I murdered someone. But God told me that if I could fulfill this role, my sins would be absolved."

"So I won't let myself get exorcised." Hanako pointed his knife at Kou. "I'm sorry about that."

Kou tries to attack Hanako with his staff which is a raiteijou, a family relic of his that releases the power of lightning, but it was useless because Hanako is smoothly dodging his attacks until he held his spear. Kou's eyes widened in shock when Hanako pulled his arm to examine his bruise—a chance to electrocute him...or not.

"You never learn. Disappear for good this time!"

[Name] puts her hands on her face, sighing that she can totally see a resemblance to those fight scenes in the anime she watched. 'God, I've been watching too much anime...' She was thinking about watching another series when she gets home from cleaning the bathroom or doing club activities.

Hanako managed to grasp Kou's lightning staff with a menacing look on his face. "Hey boy, I want this staff." He said while looking at the staff in curiosity. "Give it to me and I'll let you go."

"I'm not gonna run." Kou simply tells Hanako.

"Fine then," Hanako raised his hands to let go of Kou so that he falls down flat to the ground with a thud. Hanako takes his knife, raising it above as he was about to stab Kou—[Name] was about to push the ghost out of the way from hurting the boy, instead Hanako flicked him on the forehead. "Got you!"

'Jeez, I thought you're going to stab him Hanako-kun.' [Name] takes a breath of relief, just as she thought that Hanako wouldn't kill him that easily, it would create a lot of trouble if he did so. [Name] puts her hand on her chest because of nervousness.

"I win~!" Hanako cheerfully smiled at Kou who was on the ground helpless. The apparition boy grabbed the staff from Kou's hands and puts a seal on it. "It won't hurt anyone, anymore!" He declared.

Kou's eyes widened in disbelief, snatching the staff from Hanako's hands to take a look at the family relic that is now sealed. "What the hell do you think you're doing from my staff?!" Kou tried to scratch of the seal using his finger, [Name] finds it relatable since she struggled a lot from peeling off the tape with her nails being cut. "I-It won't come off!"

"Take it off!" Kou commanded.

"I don't want to." Hanako covered his ears. He walked towards Kou, taking his hand to inspect his bruising arm. "I knew it, you haven't mastered that staff at all." Soon, his clothes went back to normal and gave Kou a piece of advice. "No need to rush. One day, you'll become a great exorcist—good enough that exorcising a little ghost like me would be a snap."

"I have high hopes for you."
