Tittle: Life with demons.
Mystery 3: Place to shelterI saw lights on the ceiling and that collided really hit me hard. That boy is not an ordinary boy; his body is too strong to be just a boy. I heard voices, there weren't clear but I saw the boy's face in front of my eyes, but it was fading. "Are you all right, nee-chan?" He asked worriedly with sweat drops; "I didn't mean to collide onto you." "Detention all week, Mr. Son Goku," I heard Ryoko's claim above and saw her look in anger.
"Hold on, Sakura," I heard Hitori's voice and I blinked my eyes trying to make a better sight. I hold on my head and I felt dizzy. "Are you sure you all right, Ms," Hakkai sensei asked politely, "You were hit hard." I stood up holding my head and nearly lost balance, luckily Hitori caught be from behind. "I am so sorry..." Goku apologized and I forgave him. "It's okay... everyone slips here..." I smiled and Hitori bought me away.
"Okay monkey, what did you do to a pretty lady like her?" I heard Gojyo's voice from behind. "I didn't do anything!" He replied, "I was running and I slipped..." He had red cheeks innocently, "I hope she's all right."
...
"As I thought, that collide got you good," Hitori said sitting in front me as Hakkai sensei, the new doctor in school, checked my head. "That collide was nothing. Don't blame Goku," I replied and suddenly I saw a light occurred on Hakkai's palm. Hitori couldn't see it but I could. Hakkai saw me looking at it and the light stopped. What was that? And why do I feel much better now? I held on my head, I don't feel dizzy anymore. "That's done... you're okay now," He washed his hands, "Goku, come out now, she won't bite you."
Goku walked out from his hiding place innocently; "I am really really really sorry, nee-chan. I didn't mean to hurt anyone." "In his first day of school," Gojyo added and Hitori pushed him out when he was heading towards her. "It's okay, I don't mind..." She said back and headed out. "She doesn't even smile at me!" Goku complained pointing and looked back at Hakkai; "Hakkai, I want Erika nee-chan now! I want to go away from this creepy place." "Goku..."
...
I was on the roof school enjoying the cold breeze and was greeted by Hakkai sensei. "Hakkai sensei?" He was smiling as usual, "What are you doing here?" "Enjoying the wind..." I replied not to have any eye contacts. "Oh I see..." I heard him, "You know, Goku is a lonely boy." I turned to him, why do he have to tell me? But at least, someone is talking with me instead of Hitori and Mr. Tsuki. "Since you're the first one he collided, why don't you get along with him?" He suggested but I refused. "Sorry but I want too yet I don't know how," I replied innocently, not even a smile. "Well, you know he loves eating. Give him a treat, he'll love it," That was his last words and when I turned he was no where in sight. Who is he? Do I know him? Do I have to listen what he says? Well, yes I do want to make friends but what if he'll be insulted to be befriended me? I don't want him hurt. I decided. No, I won't do it.
...
I brought a drink from the Machine Drink and turned. I saw Goku at the end, he was hiding from someone and he had red cheeks. He spotted me and ran towards me. "Nee-chan, I wanted to say I am sorry again," he apologized bowing, "I am to be blamed." He is so cute... what am I talking about? I am not falling in love... I know that is not love yet but I feel annoyed... yet I like it... somehow... I looked at my drink and remembered what Hakkai sensei told me. I tried to make out small smile to him and handed out the drink to him, "For you..." His eyes widen, "Gee... me? Thanks!" He grabbed the drink and opened the can. Before he drink, he took a look at me. I had a questioning look. "That smile is pretty on you..." He praised and I felt that I had a little blush. No one ever praised me before except Hitori, who I think he was kidding all the way but the boy's expression showed that he was honest. "... and very familiar..." He added and I felt my brain reacted with it.
"Saru!" I snapped and saw Sanzo sensei with his gang out the school. "San~zo~" Goku jumped up and down and headed towards him. Sanzo... that name is the most familiar name, is he my brother? Cousin? Or could be my father's name? "Nee San~zo, I made a friend," Goku said with red cheeks and pointed at me; "I am her friend now!" "Friend or pet?" Gojyo overruled and Goku kicked him off.
"Oh... I haven't known your name yet. What's your name anyway?" Hakkai sensei turned to me smiling. "Sakura... Sora Sakura..." I replied. I was hesitating. Would they say my family name is strange? No, they are nice people and I don't think they'll insult me. But then I saw them looking at each other with a serious look. "Sakura..." Sanzo sensei looked at me that gave me goose bumps. He harrumphed and turned away. What's that all about? Does he know me? "Sakura, very pretty name," Hakkai smiled and gazed at me; "And that family name of yours, Sky, fits with your eyes well." I had a little blush, no one did say that to me all my life. Sky... yes, I know it's a beautiful name but really, it does sound strange. Even to me, it's very strange. Who is this people and why am I starting to like them?
"Qyu~" A small animal passed by me and I saw it landed on Hakkai sensei's shoulder. "There you are, Hakuryu. Did Ryoko-san found you?" He asked to it and I looked surprised. "Is that your... ... pet Hakkai sensei?" I asked and I felt my heart beating. I usually never asked but that's the only animal that is the same as Kira. He turned to me and nodded, "Yes, I have raised him for a long time. I know it's frightening..." I corrected; "I didn't stay it's frightening..." "Huh?" They all looked at me.
...
We were at my part-time work and Goku was eating fast while the other three were drinking alcohol. "This is your treat, right?" Sanzo sensei looked at me and I just winked my eyes. I couldn't react but when my boss said that my month's salary would be decreased, I sighed. There goes my salary.
I sat down as every customer had gone out but my senseis and Goku were still there. "Excuse me," I said politely; "But this restaurant close at 9 p.m." "So early?" Gojyo sensei overruled annoyed. That's what I hate when customers reply to me like that. Don't blame me; blame my boss. I don't own this restaurant, he does. I just work here for my errands. I turned and washed the dishes.
"Gojyo, let's go. We can't force her to stay here all night. She has to go to school tomorrow," I heard Hakkai sensei corrected. "But I don't want to sleep in the Jeff again!" Goku whined in chibi, "It's not comfortable enough." Gojyo sensei agreed, "We rather sleep on a couch or maybe a sofa." Sanzo sensei tsked.
"Are you looking for a place to stay?" I turned. What am I talking about? I don't have a house; I have a room. Am I this nice? They looked at me. "I have a place for you but can you afford it?" Maybe I would let them pay for staying in my room, this way I can earn more money to buy more food for Kira. "I'll pay 5 times more if I could sleep with you," Goyjo sensei pointed and the boys behind him crashed down as I had sweat drops all over. As I expected, he is as perverted as Hitori. A huge sweat drop formed behind my head when I saw Sanzo sensei whacked Gojyo's head with his paper fan. It sounded like a thunder though.
...
I locked the restaurant door with the help of the boys and headed to the apartment. They followed me from behind. "Sakura!" Hitori jumped out from his room; "Did I surprise you?" I gave him the same look. "Not good, huh?" He sighed and I pointed to the boys behind; "But they did." Gojyo and Goku were holding their chest with sweat drops with a shocking expression. "What are they doing here?" Hitori pointed with his jaw dropped. "I'm sleeping-" Gojyo sensei stopped when Hakkai shut his mouth. "Oh, nothing. We decided to visit her room." Hitori had dotted eyes and itched his head; "Huh?!"
I opened the door and switch on the lights that Kira jumped to me. "Yes. I missed you too," I cuddled him back and Hakuryu qyueed at her. Hakuryu knows Kira, how? Are they related? "This is my room," I showed my room. "We'll sleep on the sofa," Hakkai sensei suggested and Gojyo sensei was heading towards me. "I'll sleep with you," I sweat dropped and Sanzo threw a boomerang paper fan that my expression changed. Their friendship is strange. Maybe as strange as me, I don't know yet very familiar.
...
I whacked Hitori near my bed on the window and the boys were curious that they peeked. "I told you stop doing this!" I whacked him again and again and the boys had sweat drops. Hitori spotted the boys and healed fast. "What are they doing here?" He pointed with his jaw dropped. "It's non of your business," Gojyo overruled back. "This is the only place for their shelter," I replied back and threw him off the balcony, "And I want to earn some more money." I shut the window and looked at them. "Don't get me wrong to hurt my own cousin. He usually does that every night." Kira nodded and Hakuyu qyueed.
