I wave hand to Keisuke as I go to the bus stand. I can't help but worry about Keisuke. He always gets into trouble no matter what, almost like a magnet. He still even thinks that yo-kai does not exist but at the same time, he does agree that yo-kai exist. When will he even make up his mind? Seriously. I hope he does not get into trouble again.
"Hey, Natsume. Good morning." A voice called out to me. I turn around to see a girl of my age wearing the same uniform as me and having greyish hair cut in the form of a bun. She was also carrying a bag with a bunny key chain. She has been my best friend for a long time. I almost tell all my secret but there is one secret I cannot tell her.
"Good morning, Saki" I answered. We were lost in our conversation most of our way to school.
As we made our way to the entrance after exiting the bus, Saki asked," Is something troubling you?"
I snapped out of my Keisuke worrying thoughts, "Wa..H-How did you know?"
"Well for one I am your best friend and second you are carrying a very weird face which may be almost invisible to all." I quickly touched my face.
"Re-Really I am. You know what you really are good at reading people."
"Yeah, I know. Now tell me why are you carrying that face?" I then go on explaining what had happened in the morning.
"That brother of yours is really troublesome, isn't he?" she chuckled
"Ya, he is almost all the time."
"Oh come on, he i-" Saki gets interrupted by that one of the most annoying yo-kai in his human form, Haruya Sakami a.k.a Shutendoji.
"Princess, I heard you were in trouble. Do you want to eradicate someone please tell me, princess?" Oh no. Not this again. Ever since I transformed into whatever I did, he as not left me in peace.
"Natsume, what is he talking about?... And why is he calling you princess?"
"Don't you dare talk to the princess li-"
"ENOUGH, Haruya I order you to leave and held to class NOW"
"But-"
"I THOUGHT I SAID NOW"
"I-I understand princess. I will head on over to class." Oh, thank god he is gone.
"N-N-Natsume, you ok? I have never seen you that anger."
"Oh, Saki." I forgot Saki was here what do I do?...Eh..Eh...
"I won't ask for details as it seems that you don't want to tell me." Oh, thank god again." And I do know that you are hiding something." I do not like how this is going." But I won't also ask for details about it. I want you to tell it to me yourself ok. I should get going teacher had asked me to meet him when I come to see you in class."
I stand there very still absorbing whatever she told. I never knew that she knows that I was hiding something. This just reminds me how much I appreciate her being my friend.
"You have a nice friend there." A light-skinned boy with short dark green-toned hair and brown eyes said. He wore a uniform consisting of a white shirt, a blue tie, black pants, and shoes. Next to him was a girl with light-brown pigtailed hair how was one of the most popular girls in the school. She also wore a uniform similar to her.
"Hey, Good morning, Touma, Ayame."
"Good morning." "Good morning Natsume"
Just then the bell rings." I guess we have to hurry to class" Then all three of us went to our respected class. The whole day I was thinking about Keisuke. For some reason, I have a very bad feeling about today.
At lunch, I told them about Keisuke and his weird behaviour.
"Hmmm... There is definitely something bothering Keisuke maybe we should ask him after school." Touma suggested
"Ya, let's ask him after school."
"We should call Akinori also. Maybe he knows what is happening." Ayame said worryingly.
"Ya. We may need all the help we need." I said as I fell the bad feeling I had in the morning grow as if telling me something is going to go terribly wrong.
"I think we should head to class. Lunchtime is almost over." Touma said as we both nodded our heads. " Bye see you after school."
After school I, Touma and Ayame went together to go to meet Akinori at the agency. But suddenly I felt a very weird feeling in my gut that Keisuke was in trouble.
"Guys I think Keisuke is in trouble. I have to go."
Touma stopped me. " What do you mean?"
"I do not know why but whenever Keisuke is in big I mean huge trouble I have this weird feeling. I have to go."
Ayame Intervented." Then let us go with you. I call Akinori to come on the way."
I smiled," Thanks."
We ran as fast as we could to Keisuke's school. On the way, Akinori with his bike came. When we came to the school suddenly the whole scene changed. Gears started to show up and the air started getting chiller and chiller but he did not notice until it started to freeze.
"What is happening?" Akinori exclaimed.
"I-I don't know." I shuddered.
"It seems as if we appeared in an area made by a yo-kai."
"Whisper." Just then up ahead I see Keisuke but a lady was right in front of him with her face dangerously close.
"Keisuke." I shouted and went to my pocket where I kept the watch."Whisper, please give me the arks." I said to Whisper as I reached to grab the watch.
"Right here." Whisper came near me to give the ark. But then I panicked.
"Natsume, what happened? Why are you searching everywhere?" Touma asked.
"I-I-I cannot find my watch."
