-psst... there's crying in the next chap-
-carry on-
The morning came and stirred Natsumi from her warm dreams. She whimpered angrily at the sunlight. She heard a deep chuckle from the corner of her room. She peeked from her covers and saw Ganrougel standing by the window.
"Come on, your alarm clock is about to sound off." Ganrougel pointed to the device which displayed 6:13.
"Why do you care if I get to school on time?" Natsumi groaned as she sat up and stretched.
"Because it would make you angry and you would be grumpy all day." Ganrougel smirked.
"That's true. If there's one thing I can do right it's be a student." Natsumi nodded and threw her covers off of herself. "Is Fuyuki up yet?"
"Yep, he, Kurse, and Taiki are all downstairs already having breakfast." Ganrougel answered.
"Wait so who made breakfast?" Natsumi asked after pulling out a clean uniform.
"Kurse. I know he doesn't seem like the type but he's very good around the house when he gets motivated." Ganrougel explained.
"Sweet, I wonder if I can ask him to help around this place." Natsumi smiled.
"I don't know if he's that motivated." Ganrougel chuckled.
"I'll just ask if he likes being exorcised. I'm sure even my mom would agree to let him haunt our house if he helped keep it clean." Natsumi grinned.
"I love you." Ganrougel muttered as he admired her. He liked the way she thought things through.
"I know. Could you please leave so I can get changed?" Natsumi pleaded with soft and still tired eyes. It was like a soft coo.
"S-sure." Ganrougel stuttered as he walked out. His cheeks lightened as he thought about her odd need to change privately. It's like something I have to earn. This must be something humans crave so much they treat it with respect and sensitivity.
When Natsumi arrived downstairs Ganrougel was leaning on his wall and Fuyuki ran out of the house, nearly running her over. "What the heck Fuyuki! Why is he in such a rush to get to school? It's not like he's got something to be excited about. I'll see you later." Natsumi waved to Ganrougel.
"Have a good day." Ganrougel nodded to her and was soon left completely alone.
"So what are we gonna do today?" Kurse asked as he hovered over Fuyuki's shoulder.
"I'm gonna introduce you guys to my paranormal club. It'll be awesome!" Fuyuki's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.
"What about when you're not in club?" Taiki asked from Fuyuki's side. He hid flat against the wall to disguise as Fuyuki's shadow.
"Well I have classes but I'm sure you guys can find something to do." Fuyuki smiled. The excited fourteen year old happily trotted to school.
Kurse floated casually alongside Fuyuki as they entered the school halls. "Look at all these poor suckers. School of the modern age seems so organized like an army."
"There's more people here than that concert we snuck into years ago." Taiki looked around exited and almost flustered.
"Careful guys we gotta make sure no one sees you. They'll freak out and I might get expelled for necromancy or something." Fuyuki whispered urgently as Kurse walked upside down on the ceiling.
"Dude relax~ Only you can see me because of my awesome ghost mojo and our little imp friend will just have to keep sitting like your shadow." Kurse grinned.
"Oh... ok." Fuyuki nervously agreed and went on to his first class.
"Why do I have to be the shadow?" Taiki grumbled to himself.
Fuyuki spent his day distracted and trying not to laugh aloud as he could see Kurse fiddle with someone's hair. The student was trying to ignore it thinking it was just the kid behind him. Taiki ruffled through another kid's bag and became a school legend of the possessed eraser.
After the last bell, tolling for after school activities, Fuyuki threw his notes into his bag and dashed on down to the room designated for his paranormal club. Kurse and Taiki darted behind him eager to finally be included in something. Fuyuki opened the doors to the empty room and dropped his things.
"Alright guys, stay in here. I'll quickly spread the word and try to rally people together." Fuyuki ran back out before they could respond.
"There's nobody here." Taiki glanced under the desks.
"Do you think he even has anyone in his club?" Kurse frowned as he realized just how friendless Fuyuki was. "Poor kid."
"Hey wanna doodle on the board?" Taiki smiled deviously and held up a piece of chalk.
"Yeah, let's draw something super spooky~" Kurse chuckled and began scribbling on one end of the board.
Meanwhile, Fuyuki was running through the halls; stopping every now and then, chatting to each group of students he ran by. He held out the pins he made for his club and exclaimed of all they would talk about but so far none were interested. Fuyuki smiled politely as he was turned down each time and ran off to find someone else. Anyone who would listen and enjoy the subject of para-normality of their world.
Fuyuki didn't notice the girl around the next corner and crashed into her. They fell to the floor, with hands slightly intertwined. Fuyuki quickly pulled away from her extremely embarrassed.
"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry! Let me help you up!" Fuyuki held out his hands to the flustered girl. She held her hands clasped over her thudding heart. After a moment she accepted his gesture and let him pull her back onto her feet. "I really hope you're not hurt."
She couldn't keep her eyes on him without turning completely pink. She straightened her light blue hair and dusted off her skirt. "Oh no, I think I'm fine."
"Thank goodness." Fuyuki sighed. He took another look at the girl and realized he actually knew her. "You're Nishizawa, Momoka right?"
"Oh you remember me?" Momoka turned bright red. Our hands totally touched! Oh my dear Fuyuki~
"Yeah, you're the richest student here; and I think we have a class or two together." Fuyuki smiled. "Please don't sue me by the way."
"It's alright, I was actually looking for you." Momoka grinned. Don't mention the stalking. Don't mention the stalking. Don't mention the stalking. "I was reading up on this old story about a woman who stalked- I MEAN fell in love with a guy and she used this magic artifact to grow closer to him. I heard you like historical pieces like this so I brought it for you."
"Oh wow! That sounds fascinating!" Fuyuki perked up, completely tuned into the artifact. Momoka pulled a small stone from her bag. It was wrapped in a soft cloth and shimmered with a small heart in the middle. Fuyuki looked it over. "Why don't we go check it out in my club? To be honest I don't have any members so it'll be a great opportunity to study it."
"Sure." Momoka nodded and placed the stone carefully into her bag. Fuyuki and I get to be alone in a room talking about an artifact that helps find true love~ I'm in heaven.
Upon entering the room the two students were greeted with floating chalk and dust as Kurse and Taiki eagerly erased and re-scribbled on the large chalkboard. Fuyuki froze when he saw the mess he would have to clean. Momoka was stunned to see a ghost and a talking shadow of a boy.
"Guys..." Fuyuki groaned. "I have to keep this place cleaned or they'll totally close down my club.
"Dude, it's not a club if you don't have members." Kurse stated as he casually finished his masterpiece.
"Harsh." Taiki added. "So who's the girl?"
"Oh." Fuyuki looked to Momoka having just remembered that she didn't know she would be meeting supernatural figures. "This is Momoka Nishizawa. Momoka this is Kurse and Taiki."
"It's a full body apparition!" Momoka blurted as she looked over Kurse. "He even recognizes and responds to current events."
"Wait, what?" Fuyuki was surprised.
"Sorry, I forgot to mention that I studied paranormal stuff too." Momoka blushed as she explained her sudden outburst of nerdy information.
"Really?" Fuyuki grinned wide. He fumbled his hand through his pocket and pulled out a small alien head pin. "Here, you should totally join my club!"
Momoka held the small pin in her hand carefully, as if it would shatter if she let it go. She felt bubbly inside from his invitation. "You really want me in your club?"
"Why not? We both obviously enjoy paranormal." Fuyuki couldn't stop the sparkle in his eyes.
"Ok, I'll join." Momoka grinned. Fuyuki looks so happy. I'll do anything for him.
"I sense internal monologues." Taiki chirped. He squished down to his small and fluffy size.
"Oh my gosh you're so cute." Momoka looked over Taiki. "I don't think I know what you are though."
"I'm an imp!" Taiki happily explained. He loved being the center of attention. "You're the first human to think I'm cute."
"How many have actually seen you though?" Momoka asked.
"Not that many." Taiki admitted with a small laugh.
"I think you'll be good friends with everyone. There are more than Kurse and Taiki." Fuyuki stated.
"Oh wow. Your life must be so fun and exciting Fuyuki." Momoka couldn't even begin to think of other monster possibilities.
"You can come to my place sometime and meet them." Fuyuki scribbled on a small paper on the desk and handed it to her. Momoka gushed when she realized it was his address and phone number.
"I'll give you my number too." Momoka almost dropped her bag as she reached for her phone without risking the note. She wrote her number on a small paper and gave it to Fuyuki.
"Cool." Fuyuki slipped the note to his pocket. "Now let's get a good look at that stone you have."
They studied each crevice and sparkle of the gem with articles online. Kurse and Taiki continued to play around on the chalkboard having easily lost interest in the gem. After the research was made and farewells were given, Fuyuki walked home. He opened the door to find Natsumi tapping her foot and her arms crossed.
"Hey sis I-" Fuyuki began but wasn't given a chance to finish.
"So I just found out you brought Kurse and Taiki with you to school?!" Natsumi yelled. "You're already too close to failing you don't need those distractions. What if someone caught you hanging out with them? They would totally outcast you even further!"
"Sorry sis." Fuyuki apologized. "I made a friend though."
"Just don't do it again or at least out of habit, ok?" Natsumi sighed as she marched into the kitchen.
