Paige McCarthy - You are totally right I got the last names mixed up. I went back and fixed it. I'll try and remember those tips for Sir Henry. I don't know about the kettle thing, I know in Japan tea is drunk often. So they might have a proper kettle or teapot.

Kizuna Hikari - You are right too, I messed up the name. I've gone back and fixed it, hopefully, got them all.

This is Lotus

This is Saiki

This is Saiki and Lotus

Psychic Medium! - Ghost are Everywhere! Don't Forget Guardian Spirits Too!

"Saiki!"

Saiki turned around and saw a fast pink blur hurtling towards him.

"Is that Lotus?"

Lotus reached Saiki quickly and hid behind the boy. She was panting and sweaty, her faced flushed, clearly from all the running. She was looking around the area nervously while using Saiki as a shield.

"What are you doing and why are you so out of breath?"

"I was attacked by some weirdo!" Lotus exclaimed

"Attacked?"

Lotus nodded her head quickly, "Yeah! It all started when I left my house…."

Flashback

Lotus walked out of her house saying goodbye to her family as she left. As she made her way down the street she spotted an elderly woman.

"I was just walking to school when I saw this old woman. She looked confused like she was looking for something."

Lotus stopped walking and made her way over to the woman.

"I decided to stop and see if she needed any help."

"Excuse me, mam. Are you okay?"

The woman turned to Lotus looking a little worried but gave her a kind smile. "How kind of you young lady but I'm quite alright."

"Are you sure you look lost. Do you perhaps need some directions anywhere?" Lotus asked

"No no. I'm just trying to find my grandson."

"Oh! Well, maybe I can help. He could go to my school. Maybe I know him." Lotus said

"That's very kind of you but I'm sure that will take up too much of your time."

"It's no problem at all. I'd be happy to help." Lotus smiled

"Such a kind young woman. It touches my heart really."

Lotus giggled rubbing the back of he head. "Thank you, mam."

"My grandson often visits this game store in town. Do you think you could give me some directions there?"

"Of course."

"So I gave the woman the directions to the store, and we said our goodbyes."

The woman thanks Lotus and bowed. Lotus smiled and bowed back in response.

"As I went to walk away I remembered that the bus station was close by and that she could just a catch a bus into town and that'd it be much quicker than walking."

Lotus turned around to tell the woman, but she was gone.

"But when I turned around she was gone. She must have been a really fast walker, but that's when I spotted him."

Lotus turned to go back on her pathway to school but across the street, someone caught her eye. Staring back at her was a boy her own age but his mouth was agape and his eyes were wide. He looked really surprised staring at Lotus.

"I didn't know what was wrong with him. So I just smiled and waved. I guess that was a mistake."

The boy took one step forward to Lotus, and she watched him confused. Then all of a sudden he started sprinting towards Lotus at full speed.

Lotus's eyes got wide as the boy dove at her. She let out a cry ducking down allowing the boy to fly over her crashing into the wall behind her.

Without a second thought, Lotus's started sprinting towards school.

Present

"And that's what happened. I don't know how to teleport yet, so I just ran." Lotus finished her story.

Saiki listened feeling a sense of aggravation wash over him. "Don't tell me…." Saiki reached into his bag pulling out a letter handing it over to Lotus. "Here read this."

Lotus tentatively read the paper her eyes scanning over the words. When she was done reading she looked at Saiki.

"So some guy knows about your powers? And he wants to be your apprentice...or is it servant?" Lotus said

"Forget that part."

"So are you going to meet up with him?" Lotus asked

"He came to my house last night after I got the letter."

"That soon? Then why send a letter in the first place."

The two walked into school sitting at their desks and Saiki was about to tell Lotus about the guy and how he was the one that tried to tackle-hug her this morning, when a classmate spoke up catching the twos' attention.

"Hey did you hear about the new transfer student from the class next door?"

Saiki quickly got up from his seat and walked out of the room heading to class next door, with Lotus trialing behind. As he opened the door Lotus gasped and stepped out of view.

"Saiki it's him!"

The guy Lotus spoke of was indeed Toritsuka Reita surrounded by a group of his new classmates. Spotting Saiki, Reita stood up greeting the psychic by calling him, Master.

"Could this be any more cliche?"

Saiki, without drawing attention, was able to drag Reita off to a more secluded place in school, the boys' bathroom. Lotus nervously waited outside the boys' bathroom patiently.

After a while Saiki and Reita walked out, Reita looking rather gloomy.

"I just feel like I got beaten up by the school bully. I don't get why you hide your powers. If you show them off you'd get so much attention." Reita said

"That's exactly why."

Lotus joined the two standing on the opposite side of Saiki.

Reita grinned and slid up next Saiki. "Saiki there's this really sexy ghost that's been following you for a while. I think she might have been a student at this school or something. I saw her this morning too."

"What?"

Reita pointed to the other side of Saiki gesturing to Lotus.

"Her? She's not a spirit."

"She's not!" Reita shouted. He turned to Lotus. "I saw you talking to a ghost this morning!"

"I was?" Lotus questioned

"Yes, that old woman you were talking to this morning," Reita said

"Well, how was I supposed to know she was a spirit?" Lotus said

"So wait, you're a Medium too!" Reita got a lecherous smile on his face. "Hey, if you'd like to have some discussions over Psychic Medium stuff I'd be glad-"

"Nope."

Reita was quickly shot down.

Saiki explained to Lotus all about Reita and when he finished Lotus nodded her head understanding why he had jumped at her this morning.

"Ooooh, I see. He tried to hug me because he's a Class A supernatural perv." Lotus concluded

Saiki nodded his head, "Yup. Right on the nose."

Reita frowned with a dismal expression. "I'm right here you know."

"So you're a psychic too huh?" Reita asked Lotus.

"Keep your voice down."

"And it's not that I'm psychic exactly but I have the supernatural ability to copy people's skills automatically. Being around Saiki I just sort of copied his psychic abilities." Lotus explained

Reita looked upset at Lotus's words. "This is so unfair! Having your power to copy people would have been perfect for me. I could copy Saiki's powers and achieve my goals."

"You mean those goals of seeing through girls clothes and predicting lottery numbers."

"Gross."

"Hey," Reita looked at Lotus. "Does that mean if you hang around me you'll be able to see ghosts?"

"I guess so. I mean I did see one this morning." Lotus said

"But I don't think I wanna spend too much time around the boy who wants Saiki's powers, so he can see what color underwear girls are wearing."

"Hey." Saiki got Reita's attention. "The same rules for me apply to her too. Remember the toilet paper."

Lotus looked confused but Reita looked terrified.

The three supernatural powered teens walked heading back to class.

"I can't believe there are two psychics that want to hide their powers. Then again I guess it's creepy to know that someone's peeking into your brain. You can peek at other body parts too. That means you can see all the girls naked anytime you waaaaannnnttt….." Reita's voice trailed as a sparkling Teruhashi glided by.

He blushed as Teruhashi turned giving a giggle before she continued on.

"~Yup another boy in love with me.~" Teruhashi confidently thought

"That girl's vanity could be a supernatural power of its own."

"Who was that angel that just passed us?" Reita asked

"That's Teruhashi. She just walked by you for no reason whatsoever. You should thank her."

Reita grabbed Saiki's shoulders and started shaking him. "Did you see all the nooks and crannies of her body?! Come on give me some details!"

"Please don't be weird."

Reita let go of Saiki but then paused glancing at Lotus. "Saiki! I get it! You hang around this busty beauty and peek at her all day, don't you! What color underwear is she wearing today?"

Lotus felt a vein twitch, and she gave Reita a swift chop to the back of the head. The purple haired boy gave an "Ow!" grabbing his head.

"First off don't call me that and never speak of my underwear! And secondly, Saiki's not that kind of guy who'd do that to girls. Thirdly even if Saiki was that kind of guy it wouldn't work because I absorb his powers so anything he tries to use on me doesn't work." Lotus said

Lotus's words don't seem to fully resonate with Reita, and he just grabbed his head shaking it. "But still it's so unfair he gets to hang around such a cute girl like you."

Typically, Saiki would have denied that but for some reason he didn't. Lotus was smiling on the inside glad that Saiki wasn't objecting, the two had slowly gotten closer and closer the journey of friendship becoming less longer.

She didn't know if Saiki did it on purpose or not, but he no longer made her walk behind him when they walked places and actually let her walk next to him, although he still made her talk to him with telepathy if they're around other people. But she still saw that as a big step forward.

"There he is!"

Suddenly a large group of girls appeared surrounding Reita.

"You can see guardian spirits right?"

"Tell me about mine!"

All of the girls smiled and chattered loudly at Reita.

"Well, I guess I can make do with this." Reita smiled putting thumbs up.

"You're terrible."

"Ladies I'll get to each of you one at a time," Reita said

A brown-haired pixie cut girl spoke up. "Hey, so what is a guardian spirit?"

"Just like it sounds. A spirit that watches over and protects you." Reita said

"So can you tell me what mine is?"

"Your spirit is a Samurai. Who looks like he can really keep you safe," Reita said making the girl smile. He went around the girls telling them their guardians spirits. "Yours is someone from Europe or another place with lots of blonde people."

A long-haired brunette popped up. "Do me!"

"Your is-ah!" Reita froze seeing the spirit next to the girl. It was a rather rough looking unkempt man. "He's ah barb maybe uh could be from France." Reita lied

"Oh my," The girl grinned

Reita sweat dropped staring at the spirit. "Might be in his 20's."

The ghost left the girls side appearing next to Reita getting rather close to the boy. "You see me right?"

Reita struggled to talk while avoiding eye contact with the spirit. "He's really handsome."

Lotus, who could see the spirit now, was chuckling behind her hand watching the ghost pester Reita, while he lied to the girl.

Just then a group of guys appeared in front of Reita all asking about their guardian spirits too.

"Hey tell me about mine!"

"Yeah me too!"

"No me first!"

Reita bluntly ignored the group of guys. "Alright ladies, who else wants to talk to me?"

"Hey what about us?!"

Reita cut his eyes looking bored as he glanced at the male group. "Let's see now. Old dude, old hag, old hag, really old hag," Reita quickly told the guys before turning back to the girls. "Now ladies-"

"At least pretend to care!" The guys yelled

Suddenly Reita gasped and walked over to Hairo and his friends. "Ah man your guardian spirits incredible. He's an intensely passionate man and plays tennis." Everyone thinks Reita is talking to Hairo until the Medium points at him indicating he thinks Hairo is a ghost. "He's got boundless energy! I think maybe his name-!"

"He's not dead." The two pink heads cut in.

"Guardian spirits. Sounds dumb." With those words, Kaidou arrived on the scene. Even though he had a mocking tone, once again, his face betrayed his words. His blush was a clear signal that he was indeed interested in finding out about his guardian spirit. "Still suppose it'd be rude to not here you out." Kaidou pointed at himself. "So tell me about mine or whatever I don't care."

"He totally cares."

Reita faced Kaidou. "Your guardian spirit, oh wow it's kinda abnormal."

"Huh?!" Kaidou gasped looking rather pleased.

"~What does that mean? Is it some kind of demon or monster or dark spirit!~" Kaidou thought excitedly

"So what is it-?"

"It's a chihuahua," Reita stated

And just like that, a small barking dog sat on top of Kaidou's head wagging its tail fervently.

"Yup that's Kaidou in a nutshell. A small cute animal that acts bigger than it is."

"A Chihuahua!" Kaidou gasped

All the girls around gasped and gushed over how cute that was.

"How dare he insult me like that. This guy's a fraud." Kaidou mumbled

Now the day wouldn't be complete if there wasn't an appearance made by the one and only Nendou. The tall scar eyed teen smiled walking over.

"What going on here? A festival?" Nendou asked

"Now here's someone abnormal."

"This guy here says he can see guardian spirits. But he lies," Kaidou told Nendou.

"Oh, whoa what's that," Nendou said walking over to Reita.

"Now now no pushing. Everyone just wait their turn-"

Nendou popped up in front of Reita. "Hey what's my guardian spirit?"

Reita looked a bit surprised staring at Nendou.

"Nendou's guardian spirit. Now that I'm curious about."

"I'm rather interested in finding that out too."

Instead of answering him Reita turned around facing another girl. "Okay let's see your guardian spirit is a politician."

"Ah, denied."

Lotus smiled giggling a bit at Saiki's comment.

School came to an end, so Saiki and Lotus were walking home but with two extra guests with them.

Reita yawned stretching his arms. "You know I gotta say I'm happy I transferred to this school."

In the background, Nendou was following the three asking Reita over and over about his guardian spirit.

"I'm gonna tell I'm gonna have an awesome time here. Say would either of you liked to hear about your guardian spirit?" Reita asked Lotus and Saiki.

"No need to tell me. Being around you means I'm gonna find out sooner or later. Let's let it be a surprise."

"Me, I couldn't care less. But could you tell him he's getting really annoying."

All of the sudden Reita snapped turning to Nendou. "Just shut up! I told you not to follow me around everywhere! I hate you!" Reita screamed

"Whoa what got into you?"

"That was an unexpected outburst."

Reita took his school bag and swung it full force at Nendou hitting him in the shoulder. Reita appears rather surprised when the bag hit Nendou. He reached up grabbing Nendou's face and squeezing it.

"Uhm what is he doing?"

"What your not a ghost!?" Reita screamed

"You really didn't know?"

"He did think I was a ghost too."

"But all this time he's been following us neither of you once acknowledged his presence. I thought you couldn't see him!" Reita panicked

"I see him I just ignore him."

"I tend to take Nendou in small doses. So there are times I just let him talk and just tune him out."

"Hey what was that all about?" Nendou shouted

Reita slid up next to Nendou. "No way. It's true I can see an old hag behind you!"

"It's true. He can't tell the difference between the living and the dead. Psychic Mediums sure have it rough."

Those words made Lotus hang her head a wave of depression flowing over her.

Saiki sighed mentally. "What's wrong now?"

"That's gonna be me real soon."

After the whole "Nendou is real and not a spirit" incident Reita brought Saiki and Lotus to his temple/home to explain himself for his earlier actions.

As soon as the three entered the temple grounds Lotus's eyes widened, and she froze staring at an empty space in front of the temple home.

"What's got you so shocked?"

Lotus just reached over and grabbed Saiki's arm before placing it on Reita's shoulder. His psychometry powers activated, and he could now see what the other two could.

"Is that?"

Sleeping on the ground was Nendou's ghost father.

"Allow me to introduce my guardian spirit," Reita uttered intoned.

"I'm sorry, you really do have it rough."

Lotus let out a happy sigh closing her eyes, as she was currently soaking in a nice warm bath.

"Ahhh this is what I need after a long day." Lotus sighed, "All this talk about ghost can be really taxing. I wonder when I'm gonna start seeing them on a regular basis? I better be careful who I talk to from now on. Don't wanna look crazy in front of others because I'm talking to thin air."

Lotus rubbed her fingers together feeling the skin a bit wrinkled. "Guess I've been in here longer than I thought. Guess it's time to get out."

She opened her eyes sitting up in the tub, she stepped out of the tub grabbing a towel. Lotus walked to her room and as she opened her door she froze.

"W-What?!"

"Violet! Ethan!"

Lotus came running downstairs still wrapped up in a towel.

Violet looked up from a book she was reading. "Lotus what's wrong?" Violet adjusted the reading glasses on her face. "And why aren't you wearing any clothes? There are perverts about."

"There are ghosts in my bedroom!" Lotus exclaimed

"Oh, so you can see ghosts now?" Violet asked as if it was the most normal question in the world.

Lotus nodded her head. "Yeah, a psychic medium goes to my school now."

"I see I see, then there's only one thing that must be done." Violet got a serious look on her face. She closed her book and threw off her glasses. "Off to the nearest temple to buy spirits wards!"

"You just broke your glasses."

The next day Lotus dragged her feet to school walking with Saiki.

"You look tired."

"I feel tired too. Seeing ghost now is not fun. Violet had to take me to the nearest temple to get spirit ward to send off any negative spirits. But there are plenty of benevolent spirits too, and they can be just as noisy. A group of geishas spent some time gossiping in my room. I think I might have to start sleeping with earplugs. I was only able to get a few hours of sleep. Oh, but while I was at the temple I got you something too. It's supposed to symbolize a growing relationship and bring good luck. Since we're becoming friends now I thought it'd be perfect. And don't you try to deny it. You know I'm slowly becoming your friend." Lotus said

Lotus reached into her bag pulling out a small wooden pendant on green beads.

Saiki didn't deny it but instead stared at the small gift. "You got this for me?"

Lotus smiled nodding her head. "Yup!"

Saiki gripped the pendant in his hand, and he got that strange feeling again, that he only got around Lotus.

"We're going to be late for class." Saiki sped walk away and Lotus sluggishly jogged after him.

School came and went rather quickly and soon Lotus found herself back home. She entered her room excepting there to be a group of spirits hanging out in there.

"Hello there!"

"Holy-!" Lotus shouted jumping startled.

"Welcome home Lotus! It's very nice to meet you!"

"Uhhh what?"

Sitting on Lotus's bed was a rather tall man at least six foot, wearing medieval silver armor. His hair was bright orange and choppy cut. Strapped to his back was a large claymore sword. He was smiling brightly while waving at Lotus rather enthusiastically. Lotus could only think that the man was a spirit or a crazed cosplayer who had snuck into her room. Let's just go with spirit. He was the only spirit in the room which surprised Lotus.

"I am Helios Ward the third!" The spirit greeted

"That's one fancy name."

"I am your guardian spirit and also your 6th great-grandfather!" Helios announced

"You're my what now?"

Lotus sat before Helios as he gave her a little breakdown on her family history.

"I see, well mother did say she had some European roots in her bloodline. Also, you have the same bright hair color. So are you the reason why there aren't any spirits in my room?" Lotus asked

"That's right!" Helios gave a salute and a wink. "I could feel your distressed emotions with all the spirits flocking the place where you dwell for relaxation, so I came to aid you."

"Well….that's nice thank you," Lotus said

"It's so wonderful to be needed once more. Do not fret my young little descendant I, your faithful guardian and ancestor will watch over you!" Helios declared

"It's nice that he'll help keep the spirits at bay but….he's pretty loud too. He's starting to remind more and more of Mom and Violet with that bold boisterous attitude."

Suddenly Helios got this gushy look on his face, and he started blushing. "It'll be just like when I was protecting my precious Tsukiyama!" Helios reached into the breastplate of his armor and pulled out a very worn out looking piece of parchment paper. "Cast your gaze upon the beauty of my wife and your 6th grandmother."

On the paper was a sketching of a beautiful woman wearing a kimono and that woman looked just like Lotus.

"Why and how does a ghost have a picture?"

"You look just like her! That's why your so beautiful my little descendant." Helios started tearing up. "It brings tears to my eyes knowing that my precious Tsukiyama's beauty and grace lives on through you!" Helios threw himself at Lotus but since he was a spirit he fell right through her.

"Y-You are just like mom and Violet! So you're the source of their crazy personalities!"
