Chapter 7: You Guys Said "Seal"?

(Your POV)
I finished taking a shower and put on a white t-shirt with some paint stains on it and a pair of pajama pants. I walked out of the bathroom with The Circle Act 1 following close behind, I wanted to see if anyone else could see it, so I walked by the laundry room and dumped my wet clothes in the dryer before turning it on and walking out of the room. I walked into the living room to see Miu was holding her phone in a disappointed manner while Kaede was working on our project with a somewhat red hue on her face. I sat down at the couch close by and began helping out with the project.

"So we're supposed to be writing about historical figures for this project?" I asked two girls, both of whom just nodded in agreement. "So why not start off with someone everyone knows...Rasputin!"

"It would be easy to search for sources about him, but there is no part of his history that was NOT messed up, he's so bad that the Korekiyo is convinced he's the antichrist." Kaede informs me, which surprised me because it's Korekiyo for crying out loud, he looks like a BDSM Orochimaru had sex with a nazi.

"Why not Lovecraft?" Miu suggests before taking a seat next to me, which honestly didn't sound like a bad idea until you remember...

"Lovecraft was incredibly racist, even by 1900's American standards." I educated the two girls on the figurehead of horror literature. "It was so bad, he was scared of everything and everyone, a technique he managed to weave into his novels."

"Geez, how about Joseph Stalin?" Miu suggests, gaining looks of irritation from both me and Kaede because neither of us wanted to do a project about a guy who pretty much destroyed an entire country out of spite. "Okay, maybe not."

"Why do most of the well known historical figures have some sort of dark secret about them?" Kaede sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "George Washington had a slave farm, Christopher Columbus was a mass murderer, and Funny Valentine was obsessed with the corpse of Jesus Christ."

"Maybe it's because we're judging them with today's standards instead of standards back then, plus we need to remember that these people were still human so we can't go around idolizing them." I suggested, making everyone go silent because I wasn't wrong.

"Shut up nerd." Kotori appeared behind me and karate chopped my head with her hand, making me jump a bit because of the suddenness of the action. "By the way, Tohka's going to be staying with us now."

"This isn't something you can just say 'by the way' and expect it to work!" I shouted at my sister, who merely rolled her eyes from the kitchen while Reine sat around too because I guess she made herself an official member of our household. "So why is she living here of all places?"

"Well aside from all the apartments close by being taken up by high school students like Kaito, Rantaro, and everyone else, we need to keep Tohka in a good mood." Reine informs me, which is confusing because I didn't exactly seal Tohka's power. "From what I'm able to tell, her power went into you for some reason."

"Oh I know, I stole her power like you guys told me to." I answered bluntly, making everyone around me freeze, did I say something wrong? "You guys did say 'steal', right?"

"(Y/N), we said seal, S-E-A-L." Kaede informs me, which makes so much more sense now that I think about it, wait, am I the only one who thought they were saying steal? "Is there anything you'd like to admit?"

"Well if anyone in the audience can read kanji or japanese, they'd know I wrote 'steal' on Tohka's body, so I kind of have all of Tohka's power in my body right now." I deadpanned before remembering a good idea for our project's main focus. "Oh hey, Steve Iriwin isn't evil in the slightest and we can do our project about him."

"As much as good news as it is that we finally got a person of focus, I'm still concerned as to how you're alright." Kaede worriedly says as she began checking my neck and arms for any sign of something. "Wait, can you die if you absorb too much energy?"

"Yes you can." Reine informs me, causing worry to spread to both Miu and Kaede's faces. "Just absorbing a fraction of a spirit's power can result in the person's body exceeding a temperature of 60 degrees celsius, like a fever, except this fever cooks the person alive. However, absorbing all of a spirit's power caused the fever to shoot up to 120 degrees Celsius and tears the person's body apart, piece by piece."

"(Y/N), please don't die!" Miu desperately screamed before grabbing some duct tape from her bag. "Quick, Kaede, help me wrap (Y/N)'s body up so he doesn't explode!"

"However, (Y/N)'s body seems to be different compared to most people." Reine informed me as Miu already had duct tape encasing my entire arm, it's amazing how fast she can move when she wants to. "His soul looks like a chip of a broken plate, yet it's fully capable of containing the power of several spirits."

"Oh, then we have nothing to worry about." Miu tossed her duct tape back in her bag like nothing happened, but my hand was still covered in tape, so there was that. "Anyways, we still have a project to work on, so let's hop to it!"

"Oi, I still have tape on my arm Miu."

"And everything was right with the world once again..."

"MIU!"

"EVERYTHING WAS FINE AGAIN!"

After the rain cleared, Miu and Kaede went back to their apartments and left me alone with Kotori, Reine, and Tohka. Boy did Kotori have a lot of fun with that. Apparently it was training regimine that forced me into embarrassing situations with Tohka for some reason. The worst part was my friends were able to pick out what kind of situations I was forced to go in. Gonta, Rantaro, Angie, Kaede, Kirumi, and surprisingly Tenko didn't suggest anything lewd/embarrassing enough for Kotori. While Korekiyo's idea was way too kinky, and there was no way I was doing that with Tohka, I must protecc her innocence. So all their ideas were

Kaito's idea was for me to land on top of Tohka, classic anime cliche style. So Kotori placed some soap in front of my room, which I slipped on when I walked out. Coincidently, Reine called Tohka to the kitchen, making her get out of the guest room to see me slipping on the soap towards her. Tohka was frozen as I barreled towards her on the bar of soap before landing atop of the poor girl. I also noticed Kotori snapped a picture of us.

Next up was Ryoma's idea, which was actually pretty tame considering it came from a guy who committed murders outside of the killing game. His idea was for Tohka and I to kiss accidently, which didn't happen until dinner officially came around. As all of us ate a plate of waffles, cause I was lazy, Kotori suddenly swapped our cups for some reason while Tohka had her eyes closed. I did not drink from my cup because I was suspicious of my little sister, but Tohka didn't know and drank from my cup. Kotori then decided to reveal her scheme to Tohka, something about an 'indirect kiss'? Does that count?

Rantaro's idea on the other hand was a little more extreme, I was on the couch, painting on a scroll with black ink. Suddenly the TV turned on an adult movie, and I couldn't find the remote. I could hear Tohka's footsteps coming from behind the wall, so I started panicking. I turned up the couch cushions and even flipped the table to find the remote. When I heard Tohka's humming right around the corner, I panicked and used <The Cirlce> to prevent Tohka from seeing, hearing, or even knowin about the TV.

However the worst one was Kokichi and Miu's combined idea. As I got ready for bed, I opened my window to ensure that the smell of paint doesn't end up filling my room while I slept. I crawled into bed but then I felt a warm and soft lump joining me. So I lifted the covers to see Tohka, wearing only her undergarments sleeping next to me. I groaned in annoyance before weaving a series of paint strokes around Tohka's body to weave a black nightgown for Tohka to wear. Once I was done and Tohka was wearing the nightgown, I left my room and crashed onto the couch in the living room.

(Timeskip, brought to you by Tohka walking out of the bedroom to see (YN) covered in scrolls, using them as a blanket)

It was lunch at school, and I was currently eating from my bento while my friends did their own thing. Gonta was sitting behind me, reading a book on manners fitting for a gentleman. Angie is preaching about Korekiyo and Kokichi about Atua, with Korekiyo trying to figure out who the hell Atua is. Tenko was praising Kirumi for her cooking skills, since Kirumi usually makes some lunches for those of us who can't cook. Ryoma was watching a boxing match on his phone, with Rantaro watching the screen from the desk behind him. Tohka was sitting directly next to me with her desk pressed against my own while Origami was pressing her own desk on my other side.

"So (Y/N), are you comfortable there?" Kaito asked with a smirk on his face as he sat in the chair in front of me, eating a sandwich as he spoke. "So what's it like having such an effect on women?"

"It has just occurred to me I haven't done a single job since I started working for Ratatoskr." I dodged the question with a shocking revelation, I NEEDED to paint a building.

"Fascinating, you're so dense that you're unintentionally dodging the question, a sign of any harem protagonist!" Kaito announced enthusiastically as I began remembering the events of last night.

"Oh I am aware of my effect, I just don't care." I corrected the astronaut, who nodded in understanding before turning around and Origami asked the question I hoped no one would ask.

"Hey (Y/N), Origami and your bento boxes look pretty similar to one another's, don't you agree?" Origami pointed out, putting me in panic mode because she was right, I made Tohka's lunch today.

"That's because I made their lunch." Kirumi stepped in with her hands in their usual maid position, all while glaring at Origami with her visible eye. "I had to make them some time after I made Tenko's and my own, so their lunch will look a bit different compared to ours."

"Though that doesn't explain why you and Tohka appear to be living together." Origami monotonically said, making everyone go silent, god dammit we forgot Origami is weirder than Korekiyo and stalks me.

"Um, I have no idea what you're talking about." Tohka seemed to be reading off a script, so I turned my head to see Korekiyo was holding a whiteboard with Tohka's exact sentence on it.

"But I peered through your window and saw you two sleeping together?" Origami tilted her head to try and show confusion, but wouldn't have Origami seen me leave the room?

"That's because we wanted to hide the truth from you..." Kokichi came in with tears overdramatically seeping from his eyes as he clenched his fist. "You see, Tohka is my secret older sister, and she was there when the fire burned down our old family home. I was taken away by a secret organization, and Tohka feels as though she failed to protect me, so she often needs to sleep with someone incase she has a nightmare of the memory."

"There's no way anyone's gonna fall for that li-they're buying it." Ryoma stared in disbelief at all of our classmates, who started crying because of the bullshit that Kokichi said. "Well they do look similar, I'll give him that."

(Anyone else notice that Kokichi and Tohka looked somewhat alike, especially the hair+eyes? Just me? Cool, cool.)

"That's so gentlemanly of you (Y/N)!" Gonta cried as he pet my head, which honestly felt rather nice, I guess everyone could go for headpats from time to time.

"You are aware that it's a lie told by Kokichi right?" Kaito deadpanned at the gentle giant, who stopped patting my head, allowing me to fix my hair. "His entire existence is a lie, I think? I have no idea what his deal is."

"No one does, isn't that what makes a good liar?" Rantaro asked, which I'm not sure how to answer because I'm a fucken painter not a philosopher, but then again I could be both...nah, I'm gonna focus on painting.

"Wait, you're my long lost little brother?" Tohka asked with tears comically streaming down her face, please don't tell me she bought it. "I'm sorry I don't remember you!"

"It's okay dearest sister, we're together now!" Kokichi and Tohka were now hugging each other with tears streaming down their face, while a wall of us stared at them in a deadpan manner and the extra classmates no one cared about cheered the duo on.

"The power of human ignorance never seems to fail to surprise me." Korekiyo says with a hand on his cheek.

"Bro you're a yandere for your dead sister."

"Shut up, Painter Boy."

After Korekiyo said that, a spatial quake alarm was triggered, making all of the students evacuate the school to heads towards the spatial quake shelter. However, none of my friends were having it, so all of us made up excuses while dashing out of the room. However, I made sure to tell Tohka to stay safe and kiss her forehead as gently as I could before running out, saying I had to use the washroom to get the stains out. 

"Gotta go, the paint stains are finally causing an Issei for me!" I dashed out of the room with Amaterasu in my clasp.

"I told you so (Y/N), and I understand they can be annoying." Ms.Tamae nodded in understanding. "Stay safe and come back to us quickly!"

"I must follow (Y/N), he might burn a hole in his jacket." Kirumi bowed quickly before our teacher then left.

"That's not a lot of faith to have in your friend." Ms.Tamae brushed off Kirumi's comment.

"Gonta saw a new beetle, so Gonta must meet it!" Gonta rushed outside the door with his net in hand.

"S-Sure thing Gonta..." Ms.Tamae was honestly scared of Gonta, so she didn't stop him from doing this kind of thing.

"Yeah I've gotta go too, I accidently built a bomb in the science lab and it's probably gonna go off soon!" Miu ran past the teacher with a wave of her hand.

"I'm sorry Miu, what?!"

"Forgive me Ms.Tamae, but I need to go somewhere right now." Kaede apologized before leaving the room.

"At least she's polite."

"Gotta go, Teach, a tennis match is gonna happen soon." Ryoma ran out with his tennis bag slung over his shoulders.

"The Luminary of the Stars has business elsewhere!" Kaito didn't even use the door, he just flung himself out the nearest window that led to the hallway.

"Is that a guy staring at a girl's skirt?!" Tenko followed Kaito by kicking through the window and hitting the guy in question square in the jaw.

"I have to go somewhere, I have business with someone." Korekiyo pulled out a knife and began running out the door like a normal person.

"Sorry Teach, but I hate being left behind." Rantaro gave a two fingered salute before jumping through the window like Kaito did.

"Hey, I bet you wished you were a teacher everyone respects." Kokichi guessed as he stood innocently in front of Ms.Tamae, who blinked at the small boy.

"Y-Yeah, I just want to be someone people can like." Ms.Tamae Admittedly sweetly, making Kokichi's signature evil smile appear on his face.

"Like that'll ever happen." Kokichi then ran out of the room to join the rest of us, I guess it'll be up to me to cheer Ms.Tamae up later because Kokichi is good at hitting insecurities.

"Kokichi, that was a bit overkill don't you think?" I asked the student, who smiled innocently and shrugged his shoulders. "Also, don't you guys think we should bring Tohka along with us? I can possibly give her some of her power back and she can help me."

"What's wrong with us?" Rantaro asked curiously, as if the answer wasn't already obvious.

"It's cause y'all have no supernatural abilities, powers, or anything other than your talents." I reminded the students. "Sure Gonta and Tenko have above average strength, and Rantaro has a higher survivability rate, but all of you are still 100% human. It doesn't matter how well you guys are, spirits always surpass humans."

"Aren't you human too?" Ryoma reminded me, but then I summoned The Circle and grabbed Amaterasu.

"I'll be alright because I have my relic and stando powah, <The Circle Act 1!>!" I did a weird pose with my free hand as I ran, confusing everyone. "Oh right, you all can't see it. Is there anything no one cares about that's currently with them?"

"Kokichi." Kaito quickly pointed to the short liar behind us, making me sigh and use the Circle to make him undetectable to everyone except for me. "Holy crap he disappeared! Today is the best day of my life!"

"Wow." Kokichi sarcastically remarked with an annoyed look as he glared at Kaito.

"He's still here Kaito, I just removed everyone's ability to detect him with any of their senses, for that is The Circle Act 1's ability...vanishing!" I finished the pose before deactivating my stand's ability, making them all groan.

"WOW." Kokichi remarked even louder and even more annoyed with everyone's reactions. "You guys act like I'm the devil incarnate!"

"You are." Kirumi deadpanned with a scowl before focusing on Miu. "As for you, don't scare our teacher like that. What if she called a bomb squad about some lie you told her?"

"Wait, you all are lying?" Miu asked, making all of us except for Gonta and Kaito nod. "Well I think we should leave. Like, right now."

Then all of us felt the building shake a bit and heard a loud boom fill the halls, making all of us turn our attention to Miu, who looked away sheepishly.

(A/N: I'mma be real with you Kings, but all of you are great to say the least. I know this is coming from a random stranger on the internet who none of you have ever met, but I just wanted to tell all of you hard workers out there that I'm proud of you. Some of you are struggling with work, college, high school, family issues, all that Jazz. You don't have to tell me about stuff if you don't want to, but still, the fact that you're willing to put effort into your goals proves that you've got what it takes. So once again, all of you who are struggling deserve the entire goddamn planet. Someone told you otherwise? Well they're small smooth-brain fools who think the earth is flat. All of you are amazing people and have amazing stories, and I know you'll find someone someday to share that story with.
