Chapter 3: To Become a Human…

Mikado's POV

I didn't know why I felt more excited today. Maybe it was because I was actually going to be hanging out with someone for a change. Of course, they were spirits so everyone else would think I'm crazy.

I didn't have that many good clothes to choose from since my wardrobe was limited to mainly my school uniform. I only had three pairs that included the top and bottom and a few pajamas and that was practically it. I wanted to go shopping with my parents at least once but because they're so busy, they would send their son to school wearing the same thing every day.

Looking into my room again, I only took the necessities. That included my bag with my textbooks, my favorite pen, some paper and the two Magician cards.

"I'm leaving you two here." I told the Devil and Strength arcana. "I want to test these two cards right now."

"You sure?" Izaya asked with another cocky grin. "You won't regret it?"

I sure hope I wouldn't. I think it would be better for these two to be left at home. I don't want them causing problems outside of my house…

"You two ready?" I asked.

The two still wore their identical outfits. Heart looked ready to go while Spade didn't seem to want to go into the spring sunshine.

"Let's go on the adventure of a lifetime!" Heart declared in English.

Ignoring him, I proceeded to go downstairs. My mom was still asleep but my dad was walking around trying to get a cup of coffee. Didn't my dad read that coffee couldn't get rid of a hangover either?

"I'm going to the library now." I told my dad as I reached the door.

"This early? That's unlike you." My dad commented. "You usually cramped in that room on that stupid website until noon."

I clenched my fist again when he insulted the Dollars website but my response was. "I just have an urge to study."

I quickly left the house before my dad could ask another question.

The morning air didn't suit me at all. I had to shut my eyes as the sun looked down upon me, shining its bright rays in my direction.

Heart acted like it was his first time out in the open. The minute we were a couple of blocks away from my house, he was already floating in the air and swirling in joy yelling more English words that I wasn't able to make out. I admit it was kind of cute but very childish.

Spade on the other hand didn't look so happy. He looked like he just wanted to go back inside my house and hide.

"This is incredible Mikado!" He exclaimed. "I hadn't felt this good in a while!"

"You make it seem like you haven't seen the sun before."

"When you're kept underground, it's understandable." Spade told me.

I was rather shocked by this information. Did their previous masters not let them out for sunshine?

"Hey Mikado, wish for us to be visible to humans!" Heart begged. "I want to feel the sun on me!"

I was going to say no but then I saw the pleading gold eyes. I was not use to people giving me the puppy dog looked. I avoided eye contact with him only to see that Spade was also giving me the look. His looked different from Heart's anticipated one. Spade's looked more desperate…

"…I wish for you two to be visible to the human eye." I wished.

Heart cheered as a small gust of wind blew. With the wind, his body seemed to become more visible but I couldn't tell because I could see him. The same thing happened to Spade. Now, there weren't any bystanders nearby, so they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

"This is great! Thank you Mikado!" Heart thanked as he hugged me tightly.

"Y-Your welcome. Now get off!"

I was surprised by my strength when I was able to force him off of me. I couldn't even do something as simple as that when Aoba and his thugs harassed me. Maybe it was because he was a spirit and light as a feather.

"So, where is the library you speak of?" Heart questioned.

"From here, it will take half an hour." I told him. "I usually take the bus, but I'm fine with walking today."

Truth be told, I ran out of extra change so I couldn't take the bus even if I wanted to. Heart didn't seem to catch on but Spade did.

"Alright, let's go that way!"

As Heart walked in front of us, waving his arms in the air like he didn't care, I noticed a little tug on my sleeve from Spade.

"Thank you…" He managed to stutter.

I felt my cheeks getting hot for a second before I turned away. "I-It's nothing. Heart-kun wouldn't shut up if I didn't do it."

It felt different walking through the streets of Ikebukuro with someone. I was so use to being alone that I never experienced this feeling that I'm feeling right now.

Because of Heart, people actually noticed us. I was surprised that people looked at me and remembered me as the quiet honor student. Now with Masomi around, they took one glance at me before ignoring me.

"Hey, what's that place?" He asked pointing to a huge restaurant.

"That's the Russian Sushi." I told him. "It's not that popular sadly. The owner has been trying to recruit someone to give flyers out outside of the restaurant but everyone always bails out when they find out they have to do that for the entire day."

Heart kept on grinning. "This place would be perfect for Simon!"

"Simon?"

"He's the Hierophant spirit. If you use our powers wisely, you'll be able to find more of us by coincidence and then you can make him human and then he'll make many people happy!"

He was getting ahead of himself. I didn't know who had the endurance to stand outside of a restaurant and hand flyers all day.

The minute we got far away from the restaurant though, I wanted to turn tail and run. In front of us were Aoba and his gang of thugs. They just happen to spot me…

"Oh look, it's Mikado-sempai!"

Spade gave me a quick glance. "Is he your friend?"

"Hardly. Let's take an alternate route and-"

It was too late. They were already in my face and surrounding me. Aoba already had his arm around my shoulder like we were best buddies

"I don't see you around these parts in the morning. Where are you heading?"

"Nowhere in particular."

"Ah, come on. You can tell your friends Mikado-sempai. Especially me."

His other two friends were laughing at me as they waited for an answer. Luckily for me, Heart made himself known, as he seemed to be the type that didn't like to be ignored.

"Hey Mikado! Who are these people?"

They took notice of the two blondes and the nice act disappeared instantly.

"And who are these two?" Aoba asked still keeping his smile.

"These two are my…" I stopped mid sentence. I didn't know what to label them as.

"We're Mikado's friends!" Heart exclaimed. "I'm Kida Masomi! And that beautiful look alike over there is Kida Masomi. Together, we are both Kida Masomi!"

"He's Heart, I'm Spade." Spade corrected as had to stop Heart from flapping his arms in the air and hitting someone with them.

Aoba didn't seem pleased when they addressed themselves as my friends. "I see...how long do you know Mikado-sempai?"

"Today!" Heart declared.

I officially declare Heart a dumb blonde.

Aoba's two thugs looked at Heart and then back at me and just laughed like the hyenas they were.

"Oh, that's a good one!" The muscular thug began as he kept eye contact with Heart. "How are we supposed to believe that you're not lying?"

"I'm not." Heart continued to grin like the idiot he was. I don't think he could understand the serious of this situation.

"What's the proof?"

"We met in front of the Russian Sushi." Spade answered. "I think that's all we need to tell you since you three don't appear to be Mikado-sama's friends."

I froze. What was with the sama?

Now it was Aoba's turn to giggle. "Sama huh? Damn Mikado-sempai, your family already ordered a servant? Can I join and at what price?"

"It's priceless." I growled. "Now can you do us a favor and leave?"

"Now why would I do that Mikado-sempai? My favorite passing time is being around you."

That sounded creepy in context. I would have stepped back but I was paying more attention to the two other thugs. They were a bigger threat than Aoba was in my opinion. I especially didn't like the thinner thug who was licking his lips when he took a glance at Spade.

"Hey," he began with a purr, "Why are people like you hanging out with this loser? We can show you the highlights of this city."

Both spirits were not amused.

"I would go with you guys," Heart began, "but there is not hot babe with you, so I'll have to decline sadly."

"Why would I hang out with jerks like you?" Spade asked him darkly.

Spade was being a little too honest. The bigger thug didn't take that response well.

"You think you two are too good for us."

Aoba glared at his muscular friend. "Stand down."

This was great. Aoba didn't have control of his friends this time. I shouldn't be happy though because the muscular thug laid a punch on Heart. My first reaction was to cover my eyes but I didn't. To my surprise, Heart simply moved his neck slightly to avoid the blow. His eyes drooped though as he kept his focus on the muscular thug.

"Violence isn't a good thing." Heart reminded him as he laid his own punch on the thug. It sent him flying into the streets. Bystanders turned our direction seeing someone who was twice Heart's side being punched into the street.

I was stunned. Even if he didn't look like it, Heart had the strength to back up his idiot nature.

That could not be said the same for Spade though. He shrieked when the thinner man seized his arm.

"Are you going to punch me into the street to?"

Heart was going to slug the thinner man too but I didn't expect Aoba to go over to him and catch his arm.

"My, you sure are strong, friend of Mikado-sempai."

"That's Kida Masomi to you." His voice became a little deeper. "Now let go of Spade."

My focus was on Spade too. Why wasn't he fighting back? He was a spirit so he could probably best him like Heart did to the muscular one. Checking his expression, I saw a familiar expression that I saw on people that were harassed by Aoba. Fear.

I should have wished for either of them to get rid of these jerks. I couldn't bring myself to use a wish for a petty reason. Instead, I did something I thought I wouldn't be able to do. I laid a blow on the thinner guy's face. For a second, I thought my knuckles would crack but the rime I heard must have been his face. He released Spade and unconsciously I caught him in my arms. Let's just say, Aoba was…surprised.

"I don't care what you guys do to me," I preached, "but don't drag my friends into this!"

Aoba was stunned that I stood up to him after all of these years. He glared at me and then back at Heart who was preparing to use his left fist to punch him. He then looked at his thinner friend who was glaring daggers at me and his muscular friend that was still recovering from the blow.

"Takuto, Myojin, we're leaving."

"But Aoba."

"Now!"

The big guy Myojin didn't need to be told twice before he was at Aoba's side. The thinner one Takuto, had a slower reaction time.

"Don't think this is the last time." He snarled. "I'll get back at you and blackie over there."

Normally, I would be freaked out by now. His tone of voice made him sound like a predator, but I decided to stand my ground. "I'd like to see you try it."

Aoba had to drag Takuto away before causing a bigger fuss. For the first time, I had managed to chase Aoba away without getting injured.

"Yeah, you better run! Mikado and I will kick your butts any day!" Heart yelled despite them being out of hearing range. He turned to his other self and only sighed. "Why didn't you follow my lead?"

"…I froze up…"

"Obviously! If you let that happen again, you might have a red mark on that beautiful face of yours. And since you have my face, I don't want to see it tarnished."

"…Sorry…"

Now I was starting to feel bad for Spade. Heart was going too far with his lecture but there might have been a reason why he did not fight back. I wasn't going to pry now though. Not in the open streets where people were still watching us.

"The library is a few more blocks from here." I interrupted the two. "Let's go there and talk."

The two spirits had no choice but to comply to my consent. It was silent the rest of the way because of that.

Finally making it to the library, the first thing I did was look for the librarian assistant. She always had a spot reserved for me because I was a regular.

"Unami-san, are you here today?" I asked calling out to her.

The lady at the counter eyed me as she told me to shush.

"Unami Nodoka will come to your aid soon. Oh, here she is now."

The librarian's assistant made her appearance. I could see Heart was drooling over her but I couldn't blame him. She was a unique girl with medium length hair and blue eyes. Her overall figure was slim and her breast size was small compared to other woman I've seen. From experience, I'll tell you not to comment on her chest size. She's very sensitive about her buxom. Unami was a girl that never smiled. She always seemed to be looking in the distance even when arranging the books in the library or helping out children.

"Did anyone tell you that your hair is as dazzling as the ocean?"

Already Heart was hitting on the librarian. His comment about her hair was dead on. Unami was unique because she had blue hair. Now, she never told anyone why her hair was an unnatural blue but I think she bleached it despite her saying one time that it was indeed natural. I couldn't believe that though.

"I am not interested in kids."

Oh, rejected in ten seconds flat. Spade was cackling at Heart's failure as he crouched behind me and sulked.

"Are you studying again Ryugamine Mikado?"

Did I mention that she has a tendency to speak like a robot? I wonder why she's practically emotionless unless it came to reading really good books.

"Ah yes…"

"The middle table in the back is available." Unami told us as she went back to the fiction to rearrange the book…and removing a series called Twilight off the shelf and putting it in the trash can that was labeled BOOKS TO BURN.

Spade and I went over to the back. We both had to drag Heart from the hood to stop him from hitting on another girl.

"This can't be…how could a beautiful woman like her reject a handsome bishounen like me?"

"Because you're underage." Spade said rather harshly as he helped me get my books out. "And you're not that attracted."

"Oh, how could you say that when we share the same face?"

"Because we have different personalities and you act like a kidanova."

Wow, that was actually a good word. Combine Kida with Casanova…

"My cruel self is just so cruel…"

"To be fair Heart, Unami hasn't had a date for twenty-four years." I began explaining.

"That's why she's perfect-"

My face must have been serious because both of them had different expressions…

"They said seven years ago that the person she had feelings for died."

Spade turned to Nodoka who had her back turned to us. He gave her a sympathetic look. Heart on the other hand had other ideas.

"They say that a second love can heal the broken heart."

"…You're missing the point." I didn't like to gossip but this story was all over the news seven years ago and is still in the old newspapers that my dad used to get. "They never found the body of him and his friends. Because of that, they couldn't give them a proper burial or a final farewell…"

I swear that Heart had the inability to feel sadness because this information seems to bounce off his head. However, Spade was taking in the information. I soon remembered that the two were one person. Maybe one of them was incapable of taking in negative emotions while the other one held everything in. If I thought about it this way, it would make since why Heart wouldn't take no for an answer.

"I think Nodoka-chan needs a little sunshine in her life." The blonde grinned. "And that sunshine will be me."

I could only watch as Heart left the table to try and hit on her again. I was planning to get up and bring him back so he wouldn't cause a scene.

"Don't worry about him. After a few more rejections, he'll come back and complain."

Spade knew what he was talking about, so I decided to open my books and start studying.

We ended up spending six hours at the library. Normally, I would stay until closing time to avoid speaking to my parents or starting a conversation with random people on the streets. Reading the same text over and over allowed me to understand the material completely. The reason I do so well is because I didn't have anyone to interact with. If I was confused, I would ask Unami for help. She apparently was the smartest student at Raira Academy during her years there. Her best subject was math and as a result, she understood how to do every problem.

This time though, I couldn't ask for her help because Heart was too busy hitting on her. She was not pleased with the attention she was receiving from the blonde. The bluenette ended up avoiding my table entirely and focused on work.

Spade was helpful though. No, I did not wish for him to help me out with studying. I learned that if you want something, you're going to have to do it yourself and this is one of those things. However, that didn't stop Spade from helping me out. I learned that he was really good at language assignments but he did horrible in history. He didn't seem to grasp the concept of World War II (which by the way was our next topic of the year). I had to remind him that our country was messed up back then and took over the Asian nations back then. Heck, Japan attacked China while it was in a civil war with itself. Judging from Spade's reaction, he must have thought we were America or something...

Anyways, I packed my books up early. Spade seemed interested in checking out shounen manga though. Luckily I had my library card on me so I let him check out a book as a reward for helping me out…even though it would be easier to wish for the desired manga.

I had to monitor what he was checking out though…and of course I should have predicted that he check out the ecchi series Negima. Every guy's dreams is inside the book. Choose one of the thirty-one plus girls that will be the one you jack off to and then go find hentai doushinji about them. Very effective method that I should try one day…

"My friend Yumasaki showed me this book during the time when we were both together," Spade began, "I got into the series…but I could not get to volume five because that master when crazy…and we got separated. I don't think he or his friends have seen the light of day ever since that master was dead…"

He was talking about another one of the spirits. I wonder what arcana he was supposed to be. In the end, I had to wish for Heart to come with us because he tried again to persuade Nodoka to go out with him. I wonder if this was what he was alike when he was still alive.

I was tired of studying per say and even when I studied for so long, I knew I wouldn't do well for the upcoming test or at least meet my parent's standards. Being exhausted resulted in me forgetting that Heart and Spade were still visible to the human eye, so when we got back home, I was greeted by both of my parents who were stunned that I brought someone home. If only it was a girl would I get more respect...

"And who is this?" My father asks glaring at both blondes. I guess from the human eye, they were twins.

Heart grinned as he was going to introduce himself again. "I'm Kida Masomi. The handsome devil behind me is Kida Masomi. Together, we are both Kida Masomi!"

"It's just Heart and Spade." Spade murmured.

"Tell them to go home." My father ended up responded. God, he was such a jerk to the guests.

"Father…they have nowhere to go…" I tried to make up a story. Maybe if I played my cards right, he would give them sympathy points and let them stay for a while. "They've been living in a worn out apartment for a while with no parents…and they really need a place to stay."

"There's no room." This jackass is making it harder than it is.

Spade stayed quiet like he should but Heart didn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

"Yes, the apartment is filled with horrible rats and a leaking roof. Could you spare us a room with Mikado? I don't think my beautiful self could tolerate an environment like that."

Heart was pushing it. I was about to say that I would handle it but Spade tugged on my sleeve.

"It will be okay…he's the spirit of persuasion." Spade told me.

Persuasion huh? So far, I've seen him do anything but persuade…

Then, I felt the atmosphere in the room lighting up. So he was using his powers to get my dad to agree.

"Give me one good reason why I should let you stay? This is the first time I have ever heard of my son having any friends because he doesn't have any."

Best father in the world indeed.

"Because we're poor souls that will die if you don't let us stay here; our lives are now in your hands."

My dad grumbled. Heart gave him the bad conscious speech. If he didn't let them stay, he'll regret it. I saw my mother was already heading upstairs. She was still getting ready for work after all. Finally, my dad let out a sigh of defeat.

"Fine, I'll give you one week to stay here and then you're out of here."

I didn't realize that I was smiling but my father must have caught it and continued.

"Just this once I'll let you have these street rats over. You need someone in your life…"

"T-Thank you..."

That was probably the first time I had ever thanked by father and I don't think it will be the last. Heart cheered as he led me up to my room. Spade followed closely behind me. Maybe today was a good day after all because all the things I couldn't do before, I finally did. I wonder if things will go this smoothly at school tomorrow…

Me: TBC with 4792 words. Sorry it took a while but school is actually starting out hard for me...heh heh...here are things to know or pay attention to.

1. Take note to how Spade reacts compared to Heart.

2. Nodoka may seem weird but her role is actually important. I won't say anything about her or who her friend was. But the seven year incident is very important and will be brought up frequently.

3. Now Masomi, Izaya and Shizuo all have a unique trait about them. Masomi is known for persuading people with his powers. Izaya causes fear within people because of how crafty he is and Shizuo can make most items seem like poltergeist which is a different type of fear. These abilities need to be kept an eye on as it affects who can grant what wish to Mikado if it's a powerful wish.

4. Don't ask me about the Negima thing...because I look at the hentai doushinji for Kaede. -guilty pleasure-

5. Best dad in the world. Watch Umineko and you'll get the joke only replace dad with mom or grandfather. LOL

That's it. Reviews make me update faster but I'll be busy with school and I'm starting pre collage the week after. Ja ne!
