~Y/n pov~

I was walking down the hallways afterschool.

I didn't feel like going to see Amane so instead I decided to take a long walk.

On my walk, I stopped by the garden for a few minutes before wandering the hallways of the old building.

Then, I bumped into someone and fell to the floor.

I should've been expecting that, I wasn't looking where I was going.

When I looked up, a boys face was hovering over mine as he leant over me.

I flinched, almost whacking my head against his.

This boy looked identical to Amane but I knew it wasn't him.

The boy was dressed in a Kimono and had a black seal on his cheek.

"You alive?" He poked me.

When our eyes met, he back away and then a startled look appeared on his face.

I got up and dusted clothes off.

"N/n!" The boy exclaimed, flinging himself at me.

Luckily, I caught him.

He nuzzled his cheeks against mine and he hugged me tightly.

"Who are..." I cut myself off as my head started pounding.

More memories came back to me. Tsukasa...was that his name?

Him and Amane are twins and we were all...... friends?

"You okay?" He tilted his head to look up at me.

"Y-yeah...sorry."

"Great." He grinned and then whispered, "I really missed you."

"Tsukasa?" I asked.

He nodded eagerly, "You remember?"

"Memories have started coming back to me. But there are still lots of gaps in my memory."

Tsukasa was silent for a few moments, "Have you seen Amane?"

I nodded.

He grinned, "I wanna see Amane too."

"Maybe some other time." I told him.

I wasn't sure what kind of relationship him and Amane had.

Did Amane hate his brother? Or were they really close?

He finally got off me and instead held my hand, dragging me somewhere.

"Where are we going?"

He turned to me and smiled, "You'll see."

The walk would have been silent if Tsukasa wasn't whistling to himself.

It was nice to listen to.

Despite Tsukasa basically being a stranger, he didn't feel like one. I felt comfortable around him.

The same way I felt comfortable around Amane but it was slightly different.

I'd only just met Tsukasa but I could tell him and Amane were different even though they had lots of similarities.

We finally stopped in front of a door.

Tsukasa proceeded to fling the door open, "I'm
back!"

Two people turned to face him.

"Who's that?" The girl asked.

"I'm Y/n, nice to meet you."

She nodded, "I'm Sakura and you can ignore the boy over there."

Sakura pointed to the brown haired boy sitting near her.

I nodded.

"Oh, that's right." Tsukasa tugged on my hand, pulling me towards the sofa.

He plopped down and pulled me down so I sat beside him.

Tsukasa was sat extremely close. It was like he didn't know personal space.

His leg was pressed against mine as he leant into my side.

Our hands were still connected, resting on my leg.

"Sakura, bring me muffins." He demanded.

Sakura sighed and put down the book she was reading.

She reentered the room a few moments later and set the tray off muffins down on the table that was in front of the sofa.

Then, she went back to her spot and picked her book back up.

The brown haired boy kept trying to talk to her but she flat out ignored him.

Tsukasa grabbed a muffin and shoved it in his mouth. He grabbed another one and pushed it into my hands.

"Oh, thanks."

He nodded and proceeded to stuff another muffin in his mouth.

I took small bites of the muffin.

"Hey, N/n?"

I hummed in response.

"How's Amane doing?" He's asked excitedly.

"He seems to be doing well." I replied unsurely.

"I heard that he's a school mystery."

"Yeah, Number seven."

We continued to talk about random things for the next few hours.

I decided that I should leave.

"I think I'm going to go now."

As soon as those words left my mouth, Tsukasa cling to me, "No."

"I'll come back later."

Tsukasa stared at my blankly for a few minutes, "Promise?"

"Yeah, I promise."

"I guess I'll let you go this time."

The next day, Nene dragged me to the library.

Kou was there when we turned up. They told me they were searching for the four o'clock library.

We wondered around the library for a while.

A butterfly appeared and Nene followed it.

When she reached out to touch it, there was a poof and a door appeared.

"Could this be the 4 O'clock Library?" She asked.

I nodded, "Seems like it."

Then, I pushed open the door with no hesitation.

Nene stood slightly behind me, using me as a shield.

Kou walked next to me as we entered the other part of the library.

There were bookshelves everywhere. The only light source was the lamps hanging from the shelves.

The walls and ceiling were covered in cobwebs.

"It's dark."

As soon as Nene said that, a lantern lit up and was handed to us.

"Thank you." I gently patted the Mokke's head as it nuzzled into my hand before hopping away.

"We're looking for a black book, right?" I asked.

Nene nodded.

I felt a bit uneasy. Of course, I didn't want to look for Amane's book and read it because it felt like an invasion of his privacy.

They probably won't find it anyway because they don't know his real name. And I'm certainly not going to tell them.

But if they find out they find out.

Another butterfly floated past and Nene was quick to follow it.

Me and Kou followed her.

The butterfly stopped and landed on a book, Nene's book.

I actually wanted to try and find my own book, though I wasn't sure whether it would be black or white.

~*~

After twenty minutes of searching, I found it.

Looking around, I noticed I'd got separated from the other two.

My book was black....so I'm really dead? If so why am I in a human form and why didn't I remember?

I quickly flicked through the book. Most of the entries were about me hanging out with Tsukasa and Amane.

A lot of them were about me going to school too.

I continued flicking through, when one page caught my attention.

It read : started dating both Amane and Tsukasa.

Both of them? At the same time?

Is that why both of them acted so clingy when they saw me?

I skipped a few years past that and what I saw make me freeze.

Found Amane and Tsukasa's dead bodies.

My head started to pound and I felt sick. Pictures flashed in my mind.

Their bloodied corpses lay next to each other. There was a bloody knife in Amane's hand.

What the hell? I felt bile rising up my throat as my legs gave way.

I pushed the bile down and tried to regain my senses.

Hurriedly, I flicked further through the book and found the last entry, which was a week after I'd discovered their dead bodies.

Jumped off the roof of Kamome Academy.

The rest of the pages of the book were blank.

With my shaking hands, I placed the book back onto the shelf and just sat there.

I was shaking and my face was pale.

Some where creature that seemed to be make out of sand appeared and charged at me.

But in my state of shock, I didn't seem to realise.

There was a slashing sound and the sand collapsed into a pile on the floor.

Amane knelt down in front of me, "N/n? Are you okay?"

He grew worried when I didn't answer.

"N/n?" He shook me gently.

Amane looked around and noticed the book that was not properly on the shelf. He read the title and froze, looking down at my shook state.

"You read it, huh? So you know the truth?" He pulled my onto his lap and wrapped his arms around my tightly.

I nodded, sniffling, "I'm really dead..."

"The book is black...I guess that means you are." Amane nodded.

Since he was already dead and it seemed like he hadn't read my book, he probably wasn't aware I was dead or how I died.

I rested my head on Amane's chest, clinging to him.

He hummed a soft tune, gently rubbing my back in reassurance with one hand, his other hand tangled in my hair.

"Are you..." his voice died out and he gulped, "Are you afraid of me?"

I shook my head, "Of course not."

My voice came out quiet, hoarse from all the crying.

By now, my cried had turned into small sniffles.

"I'm glad." Amane pressed his cheek against the crown of my head.

I just laid in his arms for a while. It was so comforting.

With Amane, I felt complete but at the same time....I felt like something was missing.

Tsukasa...

I pulled my head away from his chest to look up at him with my watery eyes, "I love you, Amane."

A shocked expression appeared on his face before he smiled, "I love you too."

I placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

A slight blush covered Amane's face as he smiled softly at me.

I shot up with realisation, "Kou and Nene are still in here."

Amane stood up too, "We should go find them."

I turned to look at him as he started walking.

He stopped when he realised I wasn't following him.

Amane came back towards me and gently wiped the tears off my face, "C'mon."

He gently held me hand in his and started leading me along.

When we found them, there was a sand monster attacking them. At least I think it was sand.

"Wait here." He whispered to me, pulling out his knife and slashing at the monster.

This monster as crumble and disappeared into the air.

Nene perked up when she saw me.

She ran towards me and engulfed me in a hug.

I hugged back, feeling relieved she was okay.

Nene pulled away from the hug and then frowned, "Have you been crying?"

I'm so glad she asked me quietly so that Kou wouldn't hear aswell.

"Yeah...I'll tell you about it later." I looked away.

Could I even tell her about it? Maybe not now but later...

The girl still looked worried but nodded anyway.

As soon as Nene had let go, Amane wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly from behind.

Nene stared at him and I'm assuming he stared right back.

Kou looked at us all and tilted his head, "What?"

"Nothing." Amane huffed childishly, resting his head on my shoulder.

"You okay?" He whispered into my ear.

I almost shivered when his warm breath hit my ear.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I whispered back.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?"

We all turned our heads as a new voice spoke up.

There stood Tsuchigomori, a teacher at our school.

"Sensei." Nene yelled in worried as one of those monsters crept up behind him.

An arm came out of his back and squished the creature. The only thing left behind was a purple goo.

Probably blood.

"Quit your yapping. Damn, this is why I hate kids." He grumbled.

He looked up from the book he was holding and looked at us all.

A look of confusion appeared on his face as he stared at me.

He then shot a look at Amane who shrugged in response.

Is he a mystery too?

"What's going on?" Kou asked.

Amane pulled me over to Tsuchigomori and floated next to him.

"I forgot to introduce you. This is wonder number five, the 4 O'clock library." He pointed to the Tsuchigomori.

"A teacher...is a wonder?" Nene asked.

"It's pretty common. We apparitions can't exist if rumours about us die out." He puffed out some smoke, "Some of your friends might not be human either."

At the last part, he shot me a quick glance.

That made me wonder, do I have a ghost form?

Amane told Tsuchigomori he was taking away his Yorishiro.

The wonder sighed before taking Nene to it to get it destroyed. And when he came back, he was holding an unconscious Nene in his arms.

~*~

I sat next to Amane on the windowsill.

"Amane?"

The boy in question hummed.

"I got all my memories back."

His head snapped to me, "Is that so..."

I decided not to bring up meeting Tsukasa for now.

Today had been a long day. I felt tiredness wash over me as I leant on Amane, drifting off to sleep.

~*~

~Amane pov~

I smiled, looking down at the cute sleeping girl in my arms.

Shifting, I pulled her onto my lap and wrapped my arms around her waist.

Her back was pressed against my chest as she leant her head back comfortably.

I sighed softly, resting my head on her shoulder and succumbing to sleep myself.
