My apologies for the late update. An unexpected situation happened in which my laptop developed a problem and subsequently CRASHED, and though I was able to save my files, the fanfics that I last saved were corrupted, and while the fanfics I've typed were among those saved, 50% of the progress was affected, hence I had to restart working on the chapters, hence I was unable to meet the deadline which the next update was supposed to be the last week of March.

So now I'm working on the next chapters and if this fic gets a review, I will have the next update ready. Now that I finished my explanation…time to get down to business…

Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the things get tense as Miko and Yuria are making a mad dash to find Hana and Kyosuke…

Well then, read on and enjoy!


Ch. 4: 2Tsu no tāgetto no kensaku

The scene shows that Miko's classmates are unaware of the SUPERNATURAL situation that is happening, and had no idea that both Hana and Kyosuke are in potential danger as two spirits are stalking the two, a female showing interest in Kyosuke and the male seemingly have lusting interest in Hana.

As Miko and Yuria are compelled to leave and look for Hana and Kyosuke, Miko's classmates began pestering her, asking her out of curiosity on whether there is a possibility of a ROMANTIC MOMENT between Hana and Kyosuke, as they find the situation exciting at the thought of a younger boy wooing an older girl, which recently became a trend in media such as light novels, manga and anime.

"Hey, Miko..."

"Does your brother like Hana?"

"Is he going to woo her?"

"Why is he hugging her so affectionately?"

"Does he like older girls?"

"Will you approve?"

"Are you open to become an in-law to Hana?"

"Tell us…"

Miko was so preoccupied that she couldn't come up with an alibi so as to leave the scene, but Yuria whispered to Miko and asked for her home address,. Saying that she will go to the Yotsuya house and see if the two spirits are there and she will tell her if the two spirits are up to no good, which Miko nodded, and sent a text message to Yuria's phone which has the address.

As Yuria leaves, Miko is being bombarded by questions from her classmates as they asked her if Kyosuke is in a stage of puberty, jokingly suggesting that he is at the stage where he can MAKE OUT with a girl, with Hana possibly becoming Kyosuke's FIRST, which Miko stared wide-eyed at hearing this.

"Hey, Miko...could you tell us…?"

"Does your brother really like Hana?"

"Is he really like…going to woo even if she is four years older than him?"

"Why is he hugging her so affectionately? They looked like they are an ITEM..."

"Does he have a THING for older girls?"

"Will you approve if they become a couple?"

"Are you open to become an in-law to Hana?"

"Tell us, tell us…"

Miko sweat-dropped at the questions being bombarded towards her and she had to think of a way to make them stop so she can leave and help Yuria in finding Kyosuke and Hana, worried that the female spirit might do something bad to him, unaware that Hana is also at risk as the male spirit is also following Hana and just as Miko is about to come up with a way to leave, her classmates began asking her some silly questions on whether Kyosuke would be SEDUCED by Hana's charms, much to Miko's annoyance and dismay.

"Hey, Miko...could you tell us…?"

"Does your brother really like Hana?"

"Is he really like…going to woo even if she is four years older than him?"

"Why is he hugging her so affectionately? They looked like they are an ITEM..."

"Does he have a THING for older girls?"

"Will you approve if they become a couple?"

"Are you open to become an in-law to Hana?"

"Tell us, tell us…"

Several minutes later, Yuria arrived at the Yotsuya house, and using the house key that Miko gave her, Yuria entered the hius and looked around, using her abilities and see if there are any PARANORMAL activities happening here, and so far she detected nothing, which made her quite relieved.

She then checked the bedrooms and noted that neither Kyosuke or Hana are around, and she further check the other areas and confirmed that the house is empty for now, and she wondered if Kyosuke and Hana are running late or took a detour, which made her sensed that something may have took place unexpectedly.

She uses her smartphone and contacted Miko, just as the latter managed to get away from her classmates and there Yuria told her of what she deduced so far, which made Miko feel worried, as she has no idea where Hana and Kyosuke went to, until Yuria asked where would Hana frequently hang out at.

"Tell me…where would Hana go off too during her free time…?"

"Lets see…"

"…"

"I know! Ms. D! Hana always go there!"

""

"Are you sure?"

"No doubt about it!"

"Okay…"

Both Miko and Yuria agreed that they should meet up at Ms. D as the former believe that Hana and Kyosuke would go there as Hana is a frequent customer there and probably took Kyosuke there as a chaperone, as Kyosuke would frequently complain about Hana always dragging him there to accompany her.

"Really?"

"Yes, Yuria."

"…"

"I'm sure that Hana would go there and probably took Kyosuke with her…"

"Okay…we should meet there…"

"Right…"

"Then we better move."

"Got it."

After that Yuria leaves the Yotsuya house as she is heading to Ms. D, hoping that Hana and Kyosuke are there, and at the same time she would try out a new prayer bead she recently bought and see if it works on any kind of spirit that seek to harm a victim.

Meanwhile, Miko sagged as her classmates caught up with her and once more pestered her with questions regarding Kyosuke and Hana, which Miko was getting weary of their constant queries.

"Hey, Miko...could you tell us…?"

"Does your brother really like Hana?"

"Is he really like…going to woo even if she is four years older than him?"

"Why is he hugging her so affectionately? They looked like they are an ITEM..."

"Does he have a THING for older girls?"

"Will you approve if they become a couple?"

"Are you open to become an in-law to Hana?"

"Tell us, tell us…"

-x-

A few minutes later, Yuria arrived at Ms. D, where she noted that while there are customers, Hana wasn't there and neither is Kyosuke, and now she is wondering if Hana is running late or she took another detour, and now she is starting to get worried now that she is running out of ideas on where would Hana and Kyosuke head off to.

Miko arrived a minute later, panting and sweating as she had a bit of difficulty in trying to get away from her annoying classmates who were constantly bugging her with questions regarding Hana and Kyosuke, and there Yuria told her that she asked the cashier if Hana came here, in which she said that Hana hasn't appeared yet.

"Eh? So Hana and Kyosuke are not here?"

"That's what the cashier said."

"…"

"Maybe they went somewhere else…"

"Where would Hana and my brother go…?"

"Calm down, Miko...we'll find them…"

"…"

"…"

As the two girls are wondering on which places they should go next, as they are figuring which places Hana would frequently hang out, someone passed by and greeted the two girls. It was Romm Shindou, and there Yuria is quite relieved as she felt that he could help her and Miko find Hana and Kyosuke.

As Yuria showed Shindou the picture, he sensed that the spirits that are trailing Hana and Kyosuke are not malevolent, just…NAUGHTY. Nevertheless, he told Miko that he is willing to help in their search.

"Really?"

"Yup."

"So you're going to help us?"

"Of course."

"Thank you…!"

"Now then…we're going to start by using this…"

"?"

"…"

Shindou then took out what appeared to be a device that there he said that this device would help in tracing any spiritual energy, and believed that it would lead them to where Hana and Kyosuke are, and Miko pleaded to Shindou to find the two, and he assured to her that Hana and Kyosuke will be okay.

"Shindou-san…please…"

"Hmm…?"

"Help us find Hana and my brother…"

"Calm down…we will."

"I…"

"We will find them…just leave it to me."

"…"

"You have nothing to worry."

Yuria nodded and tells Miko that things will be okay as Shindou will lead the way, and he smiled at Yuria, telling her that she is an amazing girl, which Yuria felt flattered, though Miko whispered to her and told her not to get carried away, which the two girls started to bicker.

"Why not, Miko?"

"Because…"

"Shindou is an amazing person…!"

"I beg to differ…"

"Hey…you're the one begging him for help…"

"But…"

"Just leave it to him, okay?"

"…"

Seeing a nearby McDonald's restaurant, Romm told the two girls that they will stop by there as he is going to do a QUICK research on the two spirits by using his smartphone and try to IDENTIFY the two spirits and figure out why they were fixated towards Hana and Kyosuke, and if there is any connection whatsoever, which Miko reluctantly nodded, as Romm assured to her that her younger brother and Hana are not in danger.

Yuria is curious as to what Romm has in mind and wondered how he would be able to identify the spirits and how to get them to leave Hana and Kyosuke alone, and there the three went to the nearby McDonald's restaurant and Romm told the two girls that it will be his treat and they should order something.

Nodding, Yuria and Miko told the cashier their orders which the cashier nodded when told of their orders, and is preparing to have them ready while the two girls await their food.

"Your orders?"

"Burger McDo, Fries and a Sprite."

"Burger McDo, McSpagetti and a Sprite."

"Any additionals?"

"No."

"No."

"Here's the amount. Please wait for a while…"

"Okay."

"Okay."

-x-

At the other side of town, Hana and Kyosuke entered what appeared to be a sushi restaurant where a 50% off promo is being displayed, and Hana was enticed and wanting to take advantage, and Kyosuke sighed and wondered if she really has a high metabolism as he noticed that she never gets fat no matter how much she ate.

He also wonder why he allowed himself to go with her, as originally they are supposed to head to the Yotsuya house but Hana saw a flyer about the sushi restaurant and the 50% off promo and he ended up getting dragged by Hana and now they are here.

"Are you really sure you want to come here?"

"Yup."

"We're supposed to come at my house? Why do we have to…"

"But the flyer says this place offer 50%...so it'll be a waste…"

"Can't we just do a take-out order from home…?"

"The flyers says take-out orders don't offer discounts, so…"

"Oh man…"

"Don't worry. It'll be my treat…"

As the waitress accommodate the two teens and led them to a table near the wall, both sat down as they glanced at the menu, the two spirits that are following the two teens are glancing at them before glancing at each other, surprised to see one another, showing that they know each other and it turns out that they have known each other when they were still alive.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Billy?"

"Nikki?"

"Its you! I can't believe that I would see you here!"

"Same here!"

"What a coincidence…"

"The feeling is mutual…"

To Be Continued...


Hope you liked this chapter, as Miko became worried that Hana and Kyosuke might get harmed, and Yuria was unable to help much until Shindou showed up…

And the two spirits appeared to be human in appearance and seemingly know each other. What business do they have with Hana and Kyosuke?
