Chapter 2: The Echizen Secret

The next day, I woke up only to find that I was alone on the bed.

Where's Ryoma?

I abruptly got up and saw Ryoma had just finished getting changed. Or so it seemed…

"Your up." Ryoma stated (rather then asked).

"Yeah…" I mumbled.

Ryoma approached me and dragged me, to where I believe was, to the bathroom.

"Ryoma?" I asked, uncertain if I liked this predicament, though I put a poker-face.

Ryoma didn't answer and just pushed me into what looked like a…it couldn't be! It was a faux body!

My spirit drifted inside the thing – faux body – and I slowly opened my eyes to see that it indeed was a faux body. "Where did you…get this?"

"The Echizen family isn't just good at tennis. We're one of the great divine families after all…"

"So that's why… But I thought the great divine families have their own assigned areas. This area is the Fuji family's, isn't it?"

"Yes but it just means that they have more competition." Ryoma said turning around and slowly leaving the bathroom.

"Whatever…" I sighed. I fiddled with what the faux body was wearing. A sailor outfit with a white blouse, pastel pink tie, pastel lime green skirt and sailor-style collar. A school uniform?

Divine families…Supposedly their ancestors made a contract with God to give them powers; in return they're supposed to help the spirits… But I wonder why they couldn't find me?

If my information is correct then about 10 percent of Japan can see me, with only 3 or 4 normal people that can too. Most divine beings pair up with another to get the job done quicker. They have the power of elements and some have a hypnotising stare. I should've known Ryoma was a divine being! His eyes a dead give away!

I hastily stood up and followed to where Ryoma went. I walked out of his room and saw his family doing what a normal family would do – in modern days.

"Oi! Seishounen, you got yourself a great catch!" A man in a muddy-brown monk clothing exclaimed rather pervertedly.

I bowed and said, "Sorry for the trouble. My name is Yukiko Suzugawa."

"Well, you're no trouble at all! Anyway, you don't mind going to school do you?" A woman with brown hair said.

"No, I don't."

"Good." The man said.

"Come on, or we'll be late." Ryoma said rather impatiently. He was waiting for me at the door.

"Ok!" I answered. "Good bye." I said bowing before following Ryoma to – where I guessed was – the school.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When we arrived to school, Ryoma told me not to worry over the application forms and gave me a bag. Inside, there were stationery, a map of the school, note books, display files and paper. He also handed in my timetable for the year.

"You'll be in class 3B," Ryoma said. "And be careful when moving around, you'll feel pain in that faux body."

"Ok." I replied.

"See you." Ryoma said as we passed the gates.

"Bye."

I took out the map and started to try and find the classroom. I didn't notice that someone was in front of me and…

Crash!

I feel backwards, on my bottom. "I'm sorry, are you ok?" I asked, getting up and picking my things up and examined the boy I ran into.

He had a lean figure, a feminine like face and chestnut-brown hair. I couldn't see his eye colour as he had them closed.

"I'm fine." He said. "My name is Syuusuke Fuji. You haven't seen someone by the name of 'Yukiko Suzugawa', have you?"

He's a Fuji? One of the great divine beings… "Oh, I'm Yukiko Suzugawa. Nice to meet you."

"Oh? Well, anyway, I'm here to guide you for the day, so just follow me, okay?" Syuusuke said.

"Alright."

"I have to go get changed for tennis practice," Syuusuke started. "You don't coming with me, now do you, Miss Spirit?"

"N-n-n-o." I replied, taken aback. He's a lot sharper then he lets on!

"Then this way!" Syuusuke said, practically dragging me to the courts.

This is going to be a hassle. This body's arm feels like it's going to brake off!

To be continued.

A/N: Sorry! I would've posted sooner but I accidentally closed the word document, forgetting to save, making me type half of it again.
