When he came back around, what Shigeo did expect was to be surrounded by the telepathy club eating snacks and playing games. He expected to be flat on his face and a bit cold from all the sweat that soaked through his clothes. What he did not expect was to be floating fifty feet in the air. It was actually kinda comfortable like laying on the perfect bed but he wasn't doing this himself. He could stop it if he wanted to, just had to put more pressure on his body than the other esper… but it was nice so he settled into it and started to drift back to sleep. But then there was that horrible screeching.
"Another esper!? Oh my! I have been blessed. It must be fate that you join our club and make us official again! My luck is finally turning around."
"I joined Body Improvement Club."
"YOU TOO?! But why? You have a great body! An amazing body! Look at your shape. Your flat tummy. Your beautiful, shapely thighs. Your BOOBS are even nice!"
"Uh… do you want me to leave?"
"DON'T BE PERVERTED!"
A slap.
Shigeo sighed and shifted on his telekinetic bed to peek down at the others. Garnet was back in her sailor uniform and was casually allowing herself to be gripped up by Tome. The girl was only inches from the other's face and holding her so tight it was possible that Garnet would bruise.
"Uh hello everyone. Do you mind keeping it down?" Shigeo asked politely then laid back down. He was still in his gym uniform which was good. He didn't want someone dressing him. Of course that brought up the question of when did Garnet get changed and how long he'd been unconscious. He's never made it that far before and found himself quite impressed with himself. He made a promise to get the same distance but stay conscious next time.
Then it occurred to him just who had to be the one to carry him back. It was Garnet. Which meant that she had seen him faint right in the middle of the club. And there went the comfortableness of his telekinetic bed. The teenager sighed and rolled off the fake bed and landed steadily on his feet with a bit help from his own power. Then he collapsed bonelessly into a chair. Not as nice. But it allowed him to bury his face and contemplate if he was super embarrassed that he fainted or that Garnet had been the one to carry him.
"Keep it down?! Why didn't you tell me that one of the new girls was like you?!" Tome shouted directly above him. Shigeo forced himself to sit up and look at the girl.
"I think they're all espers," he answered casually.
"WHAT?!" So many questions flew through Tome's head. Like why did he say "think". He said he could sense others like him from even far away. And where were the other transfer students because one of them had to want to join them. And since when did three espers just appear outta nowhere like these girls. That was a bit weird right? Tome had gone her whole life wanting to meet real espers, attempting to be a real esper and giving up on either and then four of them are just there. Well Mob always existed. She just hadn't known what he was. But these three came out of the blue… Tome also put in her list of questions about the new girl's hair dye. It looked extremely natural.
"Yeah. Both Quartz-kun and Cheena-kun were using small illusions to cover jewelry," Shigeo continued, unaware of the inner turmoil going on with Tome at the moment. He looked to Garnet who's mouth was slightly open in surprise, "Garnet-kun is hiding one too on her left hand."
"Close," Garnet spoke up and she held up her hands. Shigeo blinked. There were two. Two pieces of jewelry in the palm of Garnet's hands. Why? Another question that needed to be answered. The telepathy club duo looked but they saw nothing but smooth flesh. Maybe Mob was losing it.
"You sure you won't join our club?" Tome tried once more, this time in the sweetest voice she could muster. She had been so shocked by the sight of Mob casually floating above the foreign girl that she attacked her with desperation. Well she did get overboard with the objectification of the girl's body and the touching but she promised to not do it again.
"You should try Amethyst. She is the most likely to join," Garnet suggested. Tome was out the door before the other could even say where Amethyst was or what she looked like. Well, Pearl and Amethyst looked much different than the other students so it wouldn't be hard finding her in a crowd but it would have been easier if Tome had waited for Garnet to speak.
"She is determined," Garnet noted with a chuckle.
"She gets like this when there's new hope. Hopefully this Amethyst girl will join then we will be a real club again. By the way I'm Inugawa. Saruta and Haruto are running a little late," the blond haired boy smiled. Garnet smiled back.

Shigeo stood up finally. It was getting late and he didn't want to keep Reigen waiting. The spiritual psychic had texted him earlier about a low level spirit he wanted Shigeo to hone his skills on. Shigeo didn't quite know how to describe how he felt about those spirits but he supposed he could settle for bored. They offered not a single bit of challenge and no effort meant it was over in a second and he was walking back home in another second. Yeah, boring was the word. But Reigen was wise and knew what was best. If he thought that defeating boring spirits was the way to help Shigeo and his control then he would do it a hundred times over.
"Are we going to see this man now?" A picture was shoved in his face. Shigeo stopped short mostly because he was in his locker room and his shirt was halfway up his body thus he was exposing his entire torso to an indifferent Garnet. Shigeo looked around and noticed that half the Body Improvement Club were also in the locker room and their faces looked very odd. He didn't understand but he did recognize the man in the picture.
"That's Reigen-sensei. I'm going there now," Shigeo answered, taking off his shirt and starting with his gym shorts. Garnet hummed and took a seat on the nearby bench, presumably to wait for her tour guide.
"KAGEYAMA-KUN HAVE YOU NO SHAME!?" Musashi burst out, his shirt held over his chest tightly. His face was bright red and it looks as though the vein in his forehead was going to burst any second. Shigeo frowned and thought about what was happening and couldn't really find anything to cause such an outburst. So he continued to pull down his shorts only for strong hands to grab him and he was in the air in a tight embrace.
"THERE'S A GIRL IN HERE!" Musashi continued. Shigeo looked around and saw that Garnet had pulled a book out of her bag and was now reading it, obviously with great concentration because she didn't look up until several throats were cleared. And when she did look up, Garnet took in the scene quietly then looked directly at Shigeo in question. The esper couldn't quite shrug but he did try to communicate his similar confusion.
"Get out of the boy's locker room!" Onigawara finally roared from his curled up, naked position. Garnet frowned but she got up and left without a fuss. Shigeo was gently placed back on his feet to continue his task but he was still not quite sure what the problem was. She hadn't been staring at them, she was just reading her book silently. It looked like their history homework in fact. He sighed.
"I just don't get it," Shigeo muttered, buttoning his shirt. He tapped his tip of his shoes against the ground and scooped up his bag. As he left, he made sure to say goodbye to everyone and thank them for a good meeting. He opened the door and paused as he noticed that Garnet was talking to… oh no. Shigeo felt a small blush start on his cheeks as his entire vision narrowed onto the most beautiful girl in the entire school.
Takane Tsubomi.
A big smile was lighting her entire face, in fact it seemed that it was lighting all of her surroundings. It put her in a spotlight that was only for her. He noticed that a dimmer but still distinctive light was shining out the corner of his eye but he ignored it for the beauty of Takane Tsubomi. Her big, round eyes were sparkling like a thousand stars and her delicate, soft lips were moving and her voice rang like gentle bells or like a song he never wanted to stop hearing.
"So if you need any help here's my number. Or if you want to have girl chats. Or I can show you around town. I would love to, in fact. I've never been further than a town or two," Takane held out a piece of paper in her clean and nicely shaped hand and Shigeo wished he was the one who was getting the paper. He didn't have Takane's number. Well that wasn't the truth. Her home number hadn't changed since they were kids but she had a cell phone now and he got too nervous trying to call her home without invitation.
A dimly lit hand entered her bright domain and caught Shigeo's attention a little bit. That hand too was clean and nicely shaped but much darker compared to the paleness of Takane. He liked that hand. He turned his eyes to the dimly lit person and saw… oh, it was Garnet. She looked down at the number before putting it in her pocket and giving the slightly shorter girl a smile. The smile lit her face and the dim light shining above her brightened just a bit. It was enough that Takane was not the sole person in his vision.
"Thank you Tsubomi… would I say chan?" Garnet hesitated. Shigeo had noticed that she hadn't been using honorifics but he wasn't offended by it as it was obvious that it just occurred to her. Takane suddenly grabbed Garnet's hand and nodded rapidly.
"Yes, yes! Although you can call me by my first name. And remember, when in doubt use san," Takane giggled with a cute wink. Garnet nodded seriously as she tucked the important information in her head. Then she noticed Shigeo. And with her attention leaving Takane and going to him, Takane now noticed him. And with Takane's attention on him the floor was very interesting and his cheeks were hot.
"Hello Shigeo-san. Are you ready to go?" Garnet inquired. Shigeo nodded shakily, trying to pull his eyes off the floor. It was rude to not look at the people you were talking to and he didn't want Takane thinking he was rude on top of thinking he was weird. It was hard but he managed to take his eyes off the floor and turned them slowly but surely towards the two girls.
"Hello Mob-kun. How are you today?" Takane asked, leaning in slightly. Shigeo flushed darker and forced himself to look in her face only to freeze under her gaze. Her eyes… her eyes were so beautiful. They were looking at him, actually looking at him. They sparkled with interest and he was happy.
"Happy? Oh that's good. I'm happy as well. Garnet-chan, would you like the tour now? I know this really nice cafe you'd love!" And just like that her interest was elsewhere and her gaze gone. Shigeo sighed a bit under his breath and started to walk away. He was no longer needed.
"I would love to Takane-chan but I can't. Shigeo-san and I have destiny. Wait for me Shigeo," Garnet called out as she noticed his form retreating. The teenager paused and turned in enough time to see Garnet lean in and kiss Takane. Twice. On both cheeks. Takane appeared just as baffled and a small blush was starting to overtake her face.
"That is how we said goodbye to our friends," Garnet explained then she looked between her new classmates and seemed to notice their expressions. She began to bite on her bottom lip and shift from foot to foot, "I'm sorry. Did I… offend either of you?"
"No!" Takane shouted, waving both her hands frantically and trying to cover up her completely red face, "No no! I um I just was not expecting that and your hair smells really good and your lips are really soft and oh my Gosh I gotta go!"
"I never seen Takane-chan so… flustered," Shigeo was wowed. He was beyond wowed. He's seen boys throw themselves at Takane and she didn't give them the time of day but here she was… running away with a red face. Like he did whenever he saw her surrounded by the vegetables. Well they weren't vegetables but it was too hard for his brain to process other girls and Takane at the same time. He liked her so much.
"I chose wrong. It was silly of me," Garnet rubbed at the back of her head, a half smile on her lips before it turned into a brighter smile, "But she is very kind. We were talking while I waited for you."
Ah yes. Garnet had been waiting for him. She had been in the locker room and then outside. To wait for him. But why? He should ask her. Shigeo turned his head, mouth open only to nearly be knocked out by the picture being shoved in his face. What picture? The hand drawn picture of Reigen-sensei that he actually really liked. He would have to ask Garnet to show it to the brown haired man.
"How did you come about this?" Shigeo asked, taking the paper from her. He didn't need to look to know where he was going as he could sense the people around him and walking to the office was like knowing the back of his hand.
"I drew it from sight. You called him sensei… he's another teacher of yours?" Garnet asked with such interest in her voice. She was looking at him too, he could feel it. Shigeo get a little flutter in his chest and he wondered what it was and why it was happening. He continued to ponder this in silence until something soft and warm wove themselves between his fingers. He looked down and saw that Garnet was holding his hand.
Progress towards Mob's explosion: 23%
His hand and her hand. The first thing he noticed was that the gem in her hand was hard and warm to the touch. Very warm actually. Like it held a small fire in it. But it didn't burn. It was nice. And her hand was so soft and slim in his old. Another nice thing. Their colors also contrasted so very nicely. He wondered if his face was as pink as he thought.
"There you are. You left me there for a second Shigeo-san," Garnet murmured. Shigeo raised his eyes from the hand in his and found himself transfixed on her lips. The same lips that had kissed Takane. Shigeo shook his head again to clear it out. He thought back to what Garnet said and provided an answer to take his mind off whatever it was doing.
"Yes but he's more than that. He teaches me to control my powers and be better as a person. He's very wise." Yes, Reigen-sensei was a good topic. A much better topic than their hands pressing together and their fingers intertwined.

"He sounds amazing," Garnet replied and their walk continued in comfortable silence. Because he had spent most of the day with her, Shigeo could say that he was very sure that Garnet was a naturally quiet person. But this was a bit different now because she was humming. It sounded like it would be a lovely song and he suddenly hoped he could hear her sing it. Also something new, Garnet seemed to be in her own world, her shoulder brushing against his as she failed to walk completely straight or a stray rock would trip her up although she did not make a comment on it. She just walked and hummed and held his hand.
Shigeo pulled himself out of his observations and pulled his companion to a stop. They had arrived. Spirits and Such Consulting. Garnet continued to hum to herself and sway just a bit on her feet. Shigeo gave her hand a squeeze and suddenly the girl stopped humming and a shiver raked through her body. If she didn't have those glasses on, Shigeo could imagine her blinking rapidly as she looked back and forth then up at the sign.
"Oh we're here," She noticed.
"Yes. Yeah. We um… we are. And… hands," Shigeo stuttered and his embarrassment skyrocketed. Why was he stuttering? What was wrong with him? Garnet didn't seem to have noticed the hostage in her hand because she dropped his limb like hot fire and bowed at the waist. Shigeo immediately got a face full of hair. Wow. Takane was right. Her hair smelled very good. Like coconuts and flowers and other good things he couldn't describe. And it was soft and he could make out spiral curls here and there.
"I didn't mean to hold your hand for so long. I get… distracted. I am sorry," Garnet came up from her apologetic bow and began to rub at the back of her head again. Shigeo imagined if he had hair like he too would rub at it.
"No need for all that! I didn't mind," Shigeo reassured the embarrassed foreigner. He would go as far as to say he enjoyed it but not out loud. He had a feeling that it wouldn't be well received. Garnet paused and stared at him for a bit, for a long bit. Then she turned on her heel and made a beeline for the door. It was time to go in.
ReggityReiRegennitty
Unlike a lot of people, Reigen had no problems being obvious about his curiosity. He was nose to nose with the girl Mob had brought with him. In his mind Reigen wowed again. A girl. With Mob. He couldn't even believe it. And she didn't seem to be under any influence to come here nor did she seem to care that a someone was violating her personal space. He squinted a bit to see if he could catch a glimpse of her eyes the scooted to the side to try that way. No luck. Who in the world wore such thick glasses? He backed up a little and started to circle her like a predator would its prey. She was a regular teenage school girl by appearance as far as he could tell. Her stance was relaxed and her mood unbothered. He could tell that he would be using those descriptive words very often for this girl.
"Is Shigeo-kun aware that you have no actual psychic power?" The girl finally spoke. Reigen jumped as he had not heard her voice since she stepped into his office moments ago. Mob had introduced them before trotting to the kitchen to make tea. After all you couldn't have guests and not give them tea. Even though they were supposed to be on their way to exorcise a demon.
"Who told you I didn't have psychic powers?" Reigen demanded with his arms folded, "I am the best psychic around to teach young Mob."
"Hm," Garnet hummed. And what was with the name? Garnet. Fyre. Who had such a name? And he didn't even want to concentrate on her hair. Actually he wondered just how soft it was.
Reigen was now behind the girl who didn't seem inclined to follow him with her eyes and it was the perfect chance the dig his hands into that colorful cloud. It was so dense he'd doubt she'd even feel him. With an internal chuckle like a child about to steal a cookie the brown haired man reached forward. He was going to do it. Nice and slow then once it was done he was going to pull away quickly. She'd never-
"I wouldn't do that." the tone was light and casual but when the girl turned her head (at what Reigen was sure was an unnatural angle) the smile on her face was big and sinister and he just knew that her eyes were big and wide and probably full of insanity and probably staring directly into his soul.
Oh shit.
Reigen was now in the kitchen. Casually leaning on the counter close to Mob. The sweat that had been collecting on his brow cooled as he observed the boy. He had already set up the cups with tea bags and additions inside. The plain one was Mob's. The one with maybe a scoop or two had to be Reigen's because there was no way the last cup was his.
"It's practically half sugar," Reigen gaped.
"Garnet-chan said she had a sweet tooth," Mob said as explanation. So it was chan was it? Did… no this couldn't be the girl Mob wanted to improve for. He swore that girl's name was more traditional and definitely not foreign. Then again Reigen didn't exactly always listen when Mob said something boring. And a teenager's live life was very boring to him.
"Speaking of which this Garnet girl… she's pretty odd, right?" Reigen probed. The boy turned his head quickly but it wasn't fast enough to miss the pink dusting on his cheeks. Hm, the first crush (Takane!) might have a bit of competition. Which was not good… for Reigen. It was obvious that Takane was way out of Mob's league and wouldn't look at him at least until after high school or maybe never. But this girl (this Fyre Garnet) was sitting behind the kitchen door and seemed just as weird as Mob was. Which meant that she, despite being very pretty and probably very smart, was probably closer to Mob's league. Which meant that they could get together and that would lead to Reigen most likely losing Mob. Which was not good. For either of them.
"... and she just says she'll do better which I find to be admirable. She's also an esper," Mob continued. Reigen blinked out of his thoughts and fully focused on the young teenager in front of him. Esper? Oh great! They had something incredible in common! Wait!
"She's an esper you say?" Reigen tapped his chin. Weren't they just attacked by a group of espers like last week? It was kinda odd that this girl just popped out of the blue all interested in Mob and with powers.
"Yes. Of course you couldn't tell because she's using some kind of technique. I can't sense it either but I've seen her use her powers. But there is something…" Mob trailed off in thought. Reigen perked up. Something about this strange girl was putting Mob on edge. But what could be it the power psychic on edge?
"What is it?" Spit it out.
"Well she and the other transfer girls have gems. Garnet has two on her hands. It's very… I don't know but when she was holding my hand her gem was warm and… nice." There goes the pink cheeks again. Reigen quickly processed his words and threw out the unimportant bit and latched onto the major detail.
"She held your hand?" Reigen tilted his head and a furrow came to his brow. They met today. What was this girl doing holding a boy's hand? Especially Mob's. That's it. Reigen knew it. That girl was up to no good. She was trouble. And he had to tell Mob as quickly and efficiently as possible. So he grabbed the boy by the shoulders and shook him hard enough to hopefully get that naive brain up and running.
"Mob! Listen to what you said. A pretty foreign girl comes out of nowhere with psychic powers and she's all on you. She's holding your hand and saying things to impress you. I bet she's trying to seduce you into a trap. That weird little redhead is probably a friend of hers. Or she could have been one of those kids from that weird cult place. Mob you have to be more cautious!"
Mob appeared very confused, trying to comprehend exactly what his teacher was saying to him. Garnet was dangerous or trying to bring him harm?
"Shigeo-kun?" The soothing voice of the girl drifted to his ears, "My moms are almost here and I want you to meet them."
"You hear that? Meeting her mom already? Who introduces their parent so early on?" Reigen figured that the girl's Japanese wasn't perfect going by that horrible accent. He turned to the boy who still seemed to be processing what he had been told. And it looked like he wasn't coming to the same conclusion just yet.

"Here I come," Mob called back. Reigen frowned a bit but decided not to stop the boy. If he pushed too hard… well, he didn't think Mob would leave him but it might make him start to second guess him. Then again Mob wasn't that socially bright so he wouldn't know who or how he was being manipulated. Not that Reigen was manipulating him into the wrong thing. He only wanted to protect Mob and that meant guiding and pushing him in the right direction. And the right direction was very, very far away from that strange girl.
Shigeo walked behind Garnet with purposeful steps, his mind in a whirlwind. He couldn't take his eyes off of the bouncing cloud of hair as his heart kept doing a weird, painful pattern. Reigen would never lie to him. He would never lead him wrong but Garnet… then again he had just only met her. They had only spent one day together and all these weird things were happening to him around her. Was she using her powers on him? He had allowed her into his mind when they were speaking Mind Speak. But she said that wasn't reading his mind, he had to project back to her. But she could have been lying. She didn't seem the one to lie though. She was so honest with everything she did and she didn't make excuses. She was so nice but was she too nice? Her light shone almost as brightly as Takane's and yet she had no problem being with him all day. Was-
An icy chill went up Shigeo's arm through his hand and he looked down to see Garnet holding his hand again. Why was her hand so cold now? He felt the gem on her hand and it was like a block of ice. It wasn't the worse thing he ever felt but nothing like the warmth she displayed earlier. And her smile was it a real smile or one to trick him? Shigeo never got an answer because the girl took one look at his face and immediately the bouncy excitement was gone and replaced with still seriousness.
"Shigeo… are you alright?" She tilted her head curiously. Shigeo shook his head to clear it. Reigen was being paranoid. Garnet wasn't going to use him for anything. She didn't care about her own power much less his.
"Yes… which one is your mom?" Shigeo looked over the girl's shoulder. There were two women standing a few meters away. They were both short and had skin as brown as Garnet's. One had hair as thick and gravity defying as Garnet's but hers was a dark brown and pushed out of her eyes with a headband. Her arms and legs were muscular and being shown off due to her lack of sleeves and love of shorts. As they neared he noticed that her eyes were colored red. Huh, foreigners were odd. He turned his attention to the other woman and immediately noticed the long, straight blue hair that traveled down her back and covered her eyes. It was the same soft shade of blue Garnet had in her own hair. Unlike the other woman she wore a long, dark blue dress that was fluffy at the end.
Shigeo found himself confused now. They both looked like Garnet. The blue haired one shared Garnet's lips and chin while the red eyed one shared her nose and hair. But they were both women. Only one could be her mom, right? Wrong!
"Oh, both. This is Ruby Fyre," Garnet gestured to the red eyed woman. She immediately stepped forward and grabbed Shigeo's hand out of Garnet's and into her own. The first thing he noticed was the gem on Ms. Fyre's hand was very hot. Hot enough to burn through his single layer shield and cause him to pull his hand back almost immediately.
"Nice to meet you kid! This is my wife, Sapphire Fyre," Ruby declared with such pride in her voice it was like there was nothing else she would rather say. Sapphire. Ruby. Garnet. Amethyst. Pearl. Hm. Was it just Shigeo or were all foreigners named after jewelry? He turned to the other woman and held out his hand only for her to keep hers folded in front of him and give a short, proper bow.
"It is my pleasure to meet you. Thank you for befriending our daughter," Mrs. Fyre murmured. The red eyed Mrs. Fyre laughed loudly and gave Shigeo a little shake not unlike the one Reigen had given him but a moment ago.
"You two better keep it at befriending! I don't want to have to give you The Big Talk young man," she elbowed him. Garnet immediately began to sputter and wave her arms in embarrassment.
"Mooooooooom! Don't say things like that!" Garnet wailed, shoving herself between her mother and Shigeo. Wow. This was the first time he seen her truly flustered and shocked. Mrs. Ruby Fyre only laughed more and caught her daughter in a tight hug, lifting the girl into the air and giving her a twirl.
"Why not? Anyone would want to date my cotton candy fluff!" Mrs. Ruby Fyre gushed, making kissing noises at the struggling girl, "Oh I remember when you were just a baby and you loved cotton candy so much. It would get in your hair, your face-you even got it in your diaper! We had to wash you up quickly to stop you from still eating it."
"Oh my… mama. Mama. I have died of embarrassment. Just… just carry me home mama. There is nothing else you can do. Sorry I can't stay Shigeo-kun. My mothers will send funereal details. Goodbye," Garnet sighed in defeat, going limp in her mother's arms. The woman crowed in victory and began to smother her daughter's face in kisses much as Garnet had done to Amethyst at school. But Garnet had given up completely and allowed not only the attack but allowed herself to be carried off. Shigeo blinked. There was that feeling again. The warmth that radiated from Garnet that was something he knew but couldn't put a finger on. It came off Mrs. Ruby Fyre like waves and surrounded everything in a comfortable blanket.
As they began to get further away the warmth was replaced by something cold and unforgiving. It seemed into his bones and filled his heart. He wanted to wrap his shields around himself like a blanket but he didn't work like that. He looked back to Mrs. Ruby Fyre and Garbet. They had made it quite the distance and didn't seem to be affected by this cold and Mrs. Sapphire Fyre was…
"You will stay away from her," a chilling voice growled in his ear. Shigeo stifled a yelp and whirled around to see Mrs. Sapphire Fyre right next to him but taller, much taller than him. The short woman was off the ground, levitating gracefully but the anger that twisted her face was anything but graceful. It was harsh and mean. It caused Shigeo's insides to freeze and his protection to come up. But she was not interested in harming him physically.
"You will not speak to my daughter. You will not be around her. You will not hurt her. I know what you are capable of. I know the things in your heart. The evil inside you is ugly and you will keep it away from Garnet," Mrs. Sapphire Fyre pressed close enough to be nose to nose with him, her bangs separating to reveal her eyes. Eye. A eye so icy and blue and an empty hole. Shigeo felt real terror claw at his throat.
"If you come near her again. I. Will. End. You."
Then she was gone.
