The spirit stared blankly at Hasunumas question. It seemed as though it was caught in a tight spot, and didn't expect the question. Mitsuo looked down at his new found love and smiled. His face slightly turned red as the words slipped out of Hasunuma's mouth. Every time that he had been possessed it was as if Hasunuma knew. He was always there; always saving him. He was grateful, but yet embarassed too.
"I don't know what you're talking about," the spirit said trying to fool him. He glared at it for a moment before turning into the other room as the spirit followed nonchalantly. Mitsuo could hear mumbling from the room; he could hear the spirits voice getting more nervous than it was before. Mitsuo drifted over to the room peering in contently.
"What is your name!" he heard as Hasunuma slammed his fist into the wall nearly denting it. Mitsuo's eyes' seemed to expell from their sockets as the spirit clenched it's eyes shut do to the loud noise of the bang. Mitsuo floated in the air, his cold body useless to help either of them.
"M-Mitsuo," Hasunuma's anger grew as the spirit told another tale. Deep inside Hasunuma felt panic for his true love. He didn't know where in the house he was or if he had even been in the house at the moment.
Mitsuo could feel his body getting weeker as he watched the spirit use more and more of his strength. Mitsuo could see the anger deep within Hasunuma's eyes growing deeper and deeper. Soon it would probably be of no return.
"Say you're Mitsuo ONE MORE TIME AND I"LL-"
"Fine! My name is Riku. Riku Ichiteru," Riku commented shamefully. A slight smile crossed over Hasunuma's face. He felt quite pleased with himself. He was sure of it.
"Why are you here, and where is Mitsuo?"
"I saw you two and I was envious of your happiness together. I'll return Mitsuo."
Mitsuo could feel his spirit being pulled back into his body. The warmth returned to his fingertips as he through his arms around Hasunuma. Hasunuma smiled looked down at him as he held him up. Without that Mitsuo would have fallen to the floor. He buried his face within the creases of Hasunuma's shirt before saying anything to the spirit who kept repeating his apology.
"It's okay...I guess," Mitsuo said as Hasunuma looked around to see if he could guess where Riku is, "Mmm-hmm...yeah. But you don't have to take it out on me!" Hasunuma pressed his forhead against the wall as Mitsuo talked to Riku. A one way conversation to those that didn't know him.
"What's he saying?" Mitsuo put a finger up hushing Hasunuma.
"He died two years ago due to a motorcycle accident. It was a head on collision. But before that- yeah I'll tell him Riku-" Mitsuo said looking to Riku and back to Hasunuma, "Anyway, his girlfriend broke up with him a month before because she thought he was cheating, but in truth he wasn't. Thats haunted him since." Hasunuma looked at him in disbelief, "Oh, yeah and he says he's sorry." Hasunuma shrugged and walked out into the living room of his old house.
Mitsuo felt bad for Riku, but followed contently behind Hasunuma as he headed out the door of his house locking it shut. He looked up at the sky placing his hands in his coat pockets. Mitsuo looked behind him to find Riku following them. Mitsuo complained loudly as he argued with the invisible spirit.
They walked for about a mile. Hasunuma not saying anything the whole time, while Mitsuo never stopped yelling at the spirit. Hasunuma couldn't get mad at Riku, thankfully he couldn't hear him. They crossed a bridge that stood over water. Their reflections reflected back at them as Hasunuma smiled as he grabbed onto Mitsuo and pulled both into the water.
"What the heck was that for?" Mitsuo yelled as Hasunuma swam up from the water.
"You were too loud. Did you know you look cute when your hairs' wet?" Hasunuma teased as Mitsuo crawled out shivering. Hasunuma followed closely behind and pulled Mitsuo close to his body. Mitsuo blushed as he weakly tried to pull away, but in reality hoping that Hasunuma wouldn't let him go that easily.
"Come on. Let's kiss and make up," Hasunuma whispered in Mitsuo's ear. He smiled as he watched Mitsuo's expressions' change numerous times before he elbowed him in the waist causing him to fall back in the water.
"Not here, and definately not in front of Riku!" Mitsuo said trying to hide his disappointment at the offered kiss that he had just turned down. Hasunuma shrugged as he squeezed his hair letting all the leftover water fall on top of his feet.
"So...Mitsuo, how are we going to help Riku?"
