Kiyoshi Mitarai a seventeen years old second year high school student of Mesei high, he was also known as Seaman by those people who knew the incident almost two years ago, it was all that revolves around of certain people who try to dissolve the barrier between the demon world and the human world and bring chaos to the world of the living and the one behind this is none other than Shinubo Sensui an ex detective of the spirit world and Mitarai is one of his henchmen getting influenced by the Black chapter tape and also by his own hatred towards humans convinced that humans itself that are plague deserve to be eradicate, but it was almost two years ago after the incident with the help of the current spirit detectives that he became friends with he's now living a normal and newly reform life that no need for the use of his psychic talent and any bloodshed.
Everything was normal; he make up new friends that is willing to accept him, but the sudden arrival of his a new student makes him remember what he tried to put at the back of his mind, he doesn't know who she is or what is her motive but her mentioning of the name of the same person who lead him to hate humans before, shaken the wall that he tried to build up for almost two years.
His trying himself to sit still while his foot has been tapping the floor since he arrive, he decided to attend school early for two reasons first, to talk to her before everyone arrive since he thought the girl was an early student but to his chagrin it will be minutes right now before the bell rang and there's no slightest hint of her arrival and lastly it was just to get over with the Issue afraid that to his nervousness he might passed out anytime, and what may come is it's up to above now (literally).
He can still remember the looks of Koenma that day, truth to be told that was the first time he saw the toddler form of the young lord since the first time they meet he was in his Teenager form it was quite a shock that after Botan opened the monitor his been greeted by a toddler with a pacifier on his mouth, and much to Koenma's rage that causes him to scold Botan on why calling him suddenly without a further warning which was countered also by the blue haired ferry saying that there's no time to waste with his childish act and explaining on why he was there, while his been became more uncomfortable because of what's happening to them, which the lord shifted his attention to him, it seems like the Young Lord of the spirit world is not comfortable talking outside of the detectives circle in his toddler form.
When he told him of what happen (which is not that much to say), Koenma decided to investigate the girl and wait for him to contact Botan the same day, when the afternoon comes he contacted Botan and ask him to bring the girl to Genkai's, five days from now in which he will come Personally, that confuses all that has been present and asked why? The young lord didn't answer yet the look of his face was something to be worried about.
She doesn't want to leave her mother while she's suffering from pain but it was just she's as stubborn as her telling her that she will be fine,
"How can she be fine when she passed out because of the extreme pain of his head last night?" her growl to herself while walking towards the school gate of Mesei High, it wasn't that long when she came back to school that her mother feel the extreme pain of her head and since last night she stayed to her side not when she got woke up when her mother called her name because she has still class to attend with,
every step that she take feels like there's an unknown force pulling her back to the train station and back to the Manor but she knew what would her mother feel about her not attending school, the Older woman was so happy when she heard her daughter want to attend school with other people around her, she always let her to make her own choice, she sigh heavily the only way she can go back home is hoping that school ends as early as possible….
the sudden slide of the door caught his attention from the note that his friend Mikagi that lend him because of his two days of absence and before the bell rang the person that he has been waiting for, came to view,
on the other side Sierra was so earnest to end the day sooner she hasn't even notice the occupied seat nearby that has been vacant for two days ago, just after sitting on her seat that Mr. Furushima entered the room.
Every minute feels like an hour has passed counting every second waiting for another subject to end it wasn't that long when she realised that Mitarai has already present since Mr. Furushima with his thunderous deep voice called the boy asking on why he's been absent without notice, Mitarai answered that he has been sick and forgot to ask for excuse, after that their sensei accepted the lame excuse, thinking 'why would the good Mitarai would lie about such things?' while she decided that her mother is Important than anything right now and not to interrogate the boy specially that the only thing she want is to end the day and back to her mother's side..
When she entered the room he already notice the shallow eyes of the girl that it feels like her body was there but her mind was out of nowhere, the noiseless tapping of her foot to the floor while looking at the clock above the blackboard, he knew she's already aware of him across her desk but it seems like it wasn't her primary concern now, but he's also well aware that he needed to talk to her for his own to ease the nervousness he felt, that's why when the last bell rang he approach her before she completely hop out of the room,
"Clark-san" that was the first word that he let out and not letting his own nervousness succumbed upon him, the girl shifted her gaze to him with the same blank eye that she has been wearing since the start of class, when he's sure enough that she's just waiting for him to continue he close his eyes and let out a deep breath then look back at her "it's about Sensui" it feels like it was just yesterday when he last utter those words (which he does),
Her eyes widen upon hearing that name there's a hope lingering in her heart, of course searching for Sensui is as important as being on her mother side because she's doing it for her Mother, while the guy in front of her tried his best to act normal with every syllable he says "there's...there's been someone who've been meaning to talk to you, compare to me he's more knowledgeable about Sensui, he told me that he'll be meeting you this next Wednesday after class I'll escort you to your meeting place" he look at her with pleading eyes "everything that you wanna ask, he can answer it for you, I hope I—" "okay" she smiled at him knowing what he really mean is "I'm not gonna ask you anything about Sensui or how did you two meet" she stand up and gave him one more smile while skipping out of the room, determined to catch the last train to home before evening, the truth of not asking him wasn't about for the guy, but for her not that willing to tell what is her motive.. but it seems like someone already knew.
Leaning back to his seat while massaging his temple and sucking his pacifier furiously he didn't see it coming but why now that he notice it? Of course Sensui didn't just pop out of nowhere, he had already let his people Investigate him before he became his Detective but there's nothing much to say since it was reported he was living alone while her mother has gotten married to someone else, after all Sensui is a child of her mother when she's still a young and because of his Incredible Spirit awareness that he chooses to live on his own, he didn't inspect further since what's more important is he's human and all; then he eventually forgot all of it, but when Kiyoshi told him about a certain girl asking about Sensui, does he realize how someone knew his existence and of course where should the searching better start than to his parents which to Sensui's case is to her mother who is certainly still alive up to this day,
'I'm such a fool' he cried to himself, it was learned after the battle that Sensui didn't mean to open up the barrier between human and demon world for the destruction of the human world but rather so he can die in the world of the demons he killed mercilessly, and of course there's more reason for it than meets the eye..
"Lord Koenma Sir" hushed by the blue haired ferry in front of him whose been pestering him for a while now, and of course he already knew that this ferry girl in front of him won't stop until he answered her question, "keep it Botan, I'm gonna tell you when the time comes" still massaging his temple he didn't dare to look at the Blue haired Ferry "Bu-" "Botan here is the list of souls that you need to ferry, here" Botan was about to appeal more when Ayame arrived on time to give Botan a job she should be doing rather than pestering him, 'good thing Ayame is not as talkative as botan' he talk to himself he opened her eyes and straighten his sit as he look of the disappointed eyes of the Blue haired ferry while saying thank you to Ayame, she then turn her back but look back at him one more time before opening and closing the double doors of his office,
He sigh heavily "thank you Ayame, I don't know what would happen if she continue more of it" the Black haired Ferry beside him smile "it's fine Koenma sir, but don't you think it would be alright if you tell her?" he shook his head "no, not yet Ayame, she will find out soon but not until I meet the human girl" the girl look at his Boss "but I think that's the reason why Botan was so confuse on why would you need to meet a human girl no less" the toddler lord just smile sadly below his pacifier "I know" then suddenly he became serious "is there any lead yet?"
The assistant ferry who recognize what he's talking about shook her head regrettably "none yet sir" once again the Young spirit lord slump back to his seat "ow" he cried again while looking at his piles of paper that needed his attention.
A/N: this is by far the longest chapter that I have written, I tried to re edit the chapter, though just thinking of how long this is, my laziness strikes and specially since it's not my type on reading my own story (I admit it's a bad habit since you'll never know what's your mistake when you don't spend time rereading the story but I just can't, I feel embarrassed 😣) criticisms are always welcome anyway, there's so much flaw on this chapter and to the story itself (that I will 'try to mend?', I'm not sure though).. Writing deep English words is not my style so you will notice repeating of words in any part of the chapter…
All chapters of White Rose (except the last two chapters) are under re editing nothing will change to the story line, I just hope to improve my writing skills (if I have one lol) and will be publish before first week of August (I hope)..
I have been reading too much KxB stories (it influenced me so much to write longer chapters)
Thank you for Reading : )
