Sophia sighed as her alarm clock rang. It was seven o'clock in the morning and Sophia had to get ready for school. Her Yo-Kai friend Esmeralda was still asleep, she was currently hovering above Sophia's dressing table. Sailornayn was laying on Sophia's rug.
"Sophia, are you up yet?" her Mum asked.
"Yes. I'm up" Sophia answered.
"I've ironed your jeans for you. They are on the clothes rail in the spare room" Sophia's Mum said. The young girl got her favourite pair of blue skinny jeans and returned to her bedroom.
Sophia found a pink top to go with her jeans and put it on. She also chose a pair of black boots.
"Good morning Sophia," Esmeralda said.
"Morning, I'm going to school now. See you later" Sophia said as she picked her school bag up and left her room.
"Wait for me Sophia," Esmeralda said as she followed Sophia out the door.
"Do you have to follow me all the time?" Sophia asked.
"Yes. It's part of my job description" Esmeralda said.
"Ok," Sophia said as she walked into school. Her friends Leah and Megan waited for her outside the school gate.
"Hey Sophia," both girls said.
"Hey," Sophia said. "Did you enjoy your weekend?"
"It was good," Megan said. "Leah and I went to the library to do some research. We found something really interesting"
"What did you find?" Sophia asked.
"We will show you at lunch time," Megan said. Sophia nodded in agreement and the three girls walked to their classroom.
At lunch time the girls sat in their usual spot under the tree.
"So what did you find?" Sophia asked.
"A book about ghosts and strange things people have seen around Japan," Leah said. "It says that our school is one of the top places for strange things to happen"
"What strange things?" Sophia asked.
"Well first it mentions a moving skeleton in the science lab, then there is the music room where the piano plays music on its own and then there are the strange floating blossoms that cover the school playground but this only happens at night time around midnight," Leah said.
"Really, that's interesting," Sophia said.
"Megan and I plan on investigating the mysteries tomorrow night," Leah said.
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Sophia asked. She was worried about her friends doing something that could get them into a lot of trouble.
"It will be fine," Megan said. "So, will you come with us?"
"Ok, I will" Sophia agreed.
The following evening, Sophia told her parents that she was going to stay at Leah's house. Her parents, well it was only her Mum. Sophia's dad always seemed to be busy at work and was never home. As agreed, Sophia meet Megan and Leah outside the school. It was dark now and Sophia had a bad feeling about this adventure. Esmeralda and Sailornayn followed behind Sophia.
"I'm not sure that we should be doing this. What if we get caught?" Sophia asked.
"You can go if you want to," Megan said. The girls walked into the school. It was dark, only the hall lights were switched on. Sophia followed behind them. She turned to look at her two Yo-Kai friends.
"I don't think that we are the only ones here. I can sense other Yo-Kai" Esmeralda told Sophia.
"Great. So this means that Megan and Leah could be in danger." Sophia said.
"Maybe, Sophia I think that you should go with your friends just in case," Esmeralda said.
"Sophia, come on. We might miss something" Leah said.
The three girls went to the science lab first. They walked in and went over to the skeleton in the corner of the lab. They waited for a few minutes
"There's nothing happening," Leah said.
"Yeah, come on. Let's go to the music room next" Megan said.
"Should I try using the Yo-Kai watch?" Sophia asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea. Megan and Leah will get suspicious about why you took so long in getting to the music room" Sailornayn said.
"Ok then. Let's go the Music room" Sophia said.
When they got to the music room, Leah and Megan sat on the chairs watching the piano. It was playing by itself.
"Oh, this is so strange," Leah said. "I feel like I want to stay here and listen to the music"
"They could have chosen better music" Megan complained. "
"Sophia, I think you should use the Yo-Kai watch now," Esmeralda said. "Point it at the piano."
Sophia pointed the watch at the piano and found an egg-shaped Yo-Kai with two arms touching the piano. It also had a swirl of pink hair on its head.
"Who's that?" Sophia asked.
"I'm Cupistol. " The Yo-Kai said. "I wasn't expecting an audience, especially one that makes fun of me playing"
"I'm sorry about my friends. They can't see Yo-Kai" Sophia said.
"Well now that someone is here that can see me, I have a favour to ask," Cupistol said. "Could you get me some music sheets from the library at the end of the hall?"
"If I go and get your music, will you let my friends go?" Sophia asked.
"Yes, I will" Cupistol said.
"Ok, we have a deal," Sophia said.
Sophia and her two Yo-Kai friends went to the library and looked for the music section. They carefully looked through it and found the music sheets.
"Let's take these back to Cupistol," Esmeralda said.
Sophia made it back to the music room and gave the sheets to Cupistol.
"Thank you," Cupistol said as he started to play. The girls clapped.
"Come on, let's go home now," Leah said after they left the music room.
The girls managed to get out of the school without getting caught by anyone or any more Yo-Kai hiding in the school. Outside the school, the girls were greeted by falling pink petals but there were no trees around them or flowers.
"This is so pretty," Megan said, "but it's also strange."
"Let me guess, another Yo-Kai is causing this" Sophia said.
"Whats a Yo-Kai, Sophia?" Megan asked.
"Oh, nothing. I was thinking out loud" Sophia said. She didn't want to tell them the truth about Yo-Kai right now.
"I think that your right Sophia" Esmeralda said.
Sophia used her Yo-Kai watch and looked around them.
"There's nothing here," Sophia said. "Wait.."
Sophia pointed the light in the corner near the playground and she found a Yo-Kai that resembled a flower pot. It had legs that were shaped light roots and arms that looked like leaves. It also had a face on the pot.
"Ah, this is Blossom. She's a Yo-Kai that make's petals fall in front of people even there are no flowers around." Esmeralda said
Name: Blossom
Tribe: Heartful
"Did you like my show?" Blossom asked.
"What show?" Sophia asked.
"The petals," Blossom answered.
"Yes. It's very pretty" Sophia said. "Why do you only do it at night time tho. I think it would look much better in the day time. It would make so many people smile."
"When I was a normal flower, a student at this school took care of me, she watered me and made sure that I had plenty of sunlight but like most flowers when winter came I died. I came back as a Yo-Kai and I guess I stayed attached to this place" Blossom said.
"That's such a sad story," Esmeralda said. She had tears in her eyes.
"I agree," Sophia said. "You sound lonely here. Would you like to be friends?"
"Really, you would be friends with me," Blossom asked.
"Of course," Sophia said.
"Thank you," Blossom said as she glowed, causing her Yo-Kai medal to fall into Sophia's hand.
Note:
So this chapter is loosely based on some of the quests from the Yo-Kai watch game. It introduces Cupistol who appears in the game and Blossom and OC Yo-kai made by the author.
So I'm planning on having Sophia meet her first Legendary Yo-Kai soon and I would like people to come up with ideas for this Yo-Kai. If you have any suggestions for a Legendary Yo-kai then please leave them in the review section. I am still accepting normal Yo-Kai as well.
