" . . . . . "

The girl with black colored hair is currently having a staring contest with the blonde-haired male with a fact that couldn't be denied by you nor the others; he is much taller than you, making you forced yourself to look up every single time you would talk with him.

The main reason that was caused to this unpeaceful scene is that because she was bumped against him in her way towards their classroom.

"Gosh, "You grumbled underneath, sending him a piercing glare, "This is why I hate to have a contract with someone. Now any peasants can easily make physical contact with me with their filthy body parts. Much to my dismay."

"I could say the same to you too, "He let out a dark chuckle escaped past his lips, staring darkly down to your smaller figure than his, "If there is such thing as 'Good Supernatural' . . . but- ah. . . That would be impossible."

You spare him a glance with an unknowing look but before he could realize the meaning behind your gaze, you quickly put a bored look displayed across your countenance.

"Huh, am I a joke to you?"

"Hmm?"He raised an eyebrow, now amusing with your just stated sentence, "So you prefer yourself to call as one?"

"Please forget what I just said then."You exhaled a low sigh while shaking your head softly before continue walking in your tracks that was halted before, "Anyway, we should go now or we will be late."

"I guess so."

You would've brushed off the presence next to you but how hard you try or even force yourself to, this you couldn't ignore it as it was nothing and glanced up at him,

"Why are you walking next to me?"The female inquired rather plainly, hearing the male replying to her question while humming.

"Well . . . It's better to walk together than walking alone."He exclaimed as if it was a small matter.

"Your fans would think something-"

"I don't care what people say."He cut you off nonchalantly, giving you his infamous radiating smile that could melt any girls' and even boys' hearts, "There's nothing wrong if we walk together from now on."

"You don't have to . . ."You reassured once again, starting to get annoyed with the feeling that kept appearing in your heart when you were around him but seeing he is not going to give up with his decision, you couldn't help but to unconsciously sigh at his bold attitude.

"Good grief. Having to see your face is the first thing I see this morning . . . Can my day get any worse?"You mumbled to yourself, making him grinned softly and sliding open the door of the classroom like a gentleman he is for you as the two of you greeted other students.

Both your and his head perked up due to the commotion in the classroom; precisely around our president's seat- once the two of you stepped inside the classroom.

"Mornin' everyone."Both you and the male send each other a narrow glance, turning each other heads in disgust after accidentally stating the simple sentence in unison.

"What's the commotion?"Both of you said it simultaneously, giving the same gesture to each other as they did earlier. Yep, frenemy indeed.

"Ah! Tsubasa-san! Minamoto-kun!"

"Hey, Minamoto! Check this out!"

"There is something on your desk, Minamoto-kun!"

Your human classmates called out for the male and being a curious supernatural you are, you make your way towards where everyone gathered around. As soon as you casted your gaze on his desk, you burst out laughing, receiving the attention from the blonde who seems confuse with your reaction.

The blonde blinked his eyes twice before produced a frown on his lips, "What is it?"

"O-On your desk . . . !"You barely managed to utter the sentence out between your laugh, couldn't contain the fit of laughter from escaping your mouth.

He went over to his own desk to see what is the reason and he is kind of . . . surprised? Of course, he is. Never once in his life or the thought of this would happen to him or even went across his mind. Should he feel ecstatic with a genuine gesture from the sender?

Who wouldn't be ruckus over the strange occurrence?

"Remember when I said 'if my day could get any worse'? Now, I take that back. This is one of the most priceless moments in my life. Seeing this . . ."You paused your sentence to laugh at his unamused face, nudging his side with your elbow while giving him a taunting smirk and peeling of the heart-shaped card from his desk surface, "Did you save a raccoon or something to receive those vegetables?"

"No . . . "He simply stated quietly, making you cracked out another laugh and patting his back in sympathy but it was more like in pity with a hint of mocking manner.

"My, what kind of idiot who would do . . this . . ."You trailed off once you caught a glimpse of the duo at the back of the door where you entered earlier who are peering over you with different kinds of expression.

In any seconds, Yashiro would be crying mess while Hanako only giving you thumbs up, flashing you a confident smirk.

Your smile still remained across your feature but it didn't hold any meaning, slowly looking back down at the card in your grasp with an unidentified look across your feature and thought,

I found the raccoon.

───────────────

"Something in your mind, [Y/N]?"

"Stop that."The said female grimaced at how he addresses her with her first real name instead of the usual 'Tsubasa', "You have been calling me that since I laughed at you. I'm sorry okay?"

"That's not the reason. Don't you like me calling you that?"His smile turned into a frown, his whole demeanor turned gray. You were hella confused. He was never like this. They would always be bickering like cats and dogs sometimes when there is a purification of understanding happening between them.

So why so sudden?

"No, it's not like that."She shook her head while mumbling underneath her breath, not stopping from her track as if she is in a deep of thought before her eyes shone in rhapsodic due to one thought went across her mind. The female glanced up to the male, now calm and collected after thinking through this situation deeply, "Is this because of your siblings?"

The frown disappeared from his face, his face now stoic and he would be lying if he is not surprised at your correct guess with only one try. Was this because he was being too obvious that you could detect it easily?

Seeing the reaction that you received from the male, you only hummed with a hint of triumphant though the smile is not visible on your face when the matters about his siblings were bringing up and it looks like he is in the same situation with yours as his body slightly stiffened.

"Thought so. "You sighed softly before etching a smile across your visage, "You know, I actually appreciate it that you tolerates with my presence until now because of Kou and Tiara loves me. "

Turning your head to look at him, "But I gave you my special permission to exorcise me anytime and anywhere unless we are at the public. Consider this as a training method."

You showed a sincere expression until it fades and was replaced with a cocky smirk instead, "It's not like you could exorcise me for real though."

"Oh, reeeeaaally?"He finally spoke up after silencing himself from talking as he is now irritated because of your last sentences. This caused you to burst out laughing, stomach still aches due to still not recovering from the last laugh that you had earlier and flashed him a soft grin.

Somehow it managed to wash away his anger.

"I could read you like an open book. You are the same as ever since I first met you . . . Teru."

He chuckled at the memory and how you try to force his first name from your lips.

It sounds melodic in his ears.

Yes . . . He is not going to lie about it. So his thought of making you say his first name was right after all . . .

"Oh, your button's gone."You pointed out, making him to look over his wrist while you unconsciously jumped when hearing stomping and foot screeching against the hard surface of the wooden floor.

"You are right. Wonder how can this happen."He mumbled but you currently are not paying him any single of your attention, now focusing on something more important.

Whipping your head over to look swarm of students running over to where you are standing, immediately moving out from the way as they are coming closer.

"Minamoto-kun! You can use my button!"

Pluck!

"No, use mine instead!"

Teaar!

"No, mine!"

Riiiiip!

"What's up with those sound effects?"You mumbled, gripping the book tightly in your grasp.

Currently, you are using a textbook; that was dropped by one of those lunatics students who gathered around that blonde with him at the center- to concealing your face from getting hit by flying buttons. You would've fleeing yourself from this fanaticism scene that was presented by them with our favorite student council president as a protagonist when you suddenly felt something solid in your palm, making you look at it.

Only to see Teru's original button.

"Since when-"

"[Y/N]."

Oh god-

You could feel a menacing aura and a piercing gaze that seems to cut right through you from behind. Tilting your head to look behind, your face color drained into white before slowly looking over your shoulder and saw the intimidating menacing aura that was coming from the male.

Unconsciously taking few steps behind while slowly keeps making closer to the poor spirit that have her back making a contact with the wall behind her, leaving almost no space between the two of you.

"T-Teru, let have a small talk, ay? It's not me, I swore."

"After all we did together, how can you do this to me? Ahhh, I feel betrayed."He said with a hint of sadistic in his tone, trapping you between the wall with both hands of his at both sides of your face as if doing kabedon.

However, your gaze now fixed on the familiar duo behind the crowd when the older Minamoto was drawing unnecessary attention from his fanatic fans' and yours. Yashiro was trembling in disbelief at the sight in front of her while Hanako was trembling in anger, pulling out his knife. You caught a glimpse of the sewing kit in one of the ombre haired grasp.

This was also their doings?!

Feeling his face is inching closer, with your sudden instinct, you shoved the book that you were holding to his face, hard. A sharp gasp escaped out from your mouth and slowly moving the book from his face, showing a red bruise in the middle of his handsome feature.

The crowd slowly dismissing themselves when they felt the unpleasant aura was getting stronger and not wanting to get caught themselves in this situation.

"How bold of you to do that, [Y/N]."

Suddenly, you felt something was wrapped around your wrists as if cuffing you. Looking down on it, you saw his bracelet was binding around them.

"You could consider this as a payback."He continued and tugging you closer to him, now towering over your small figure. Curse to your height that is shorter than him, "Couldn't exorcise you? Well, we will see that in the student council room. You also need to sew my button back."

With that he dragged you across the hall to the said destination, you even clinging onto the open window or wall for your dear life but in your disguised form, he is much stronger than you.

"Wait! Wait! WAIT!!"

───────[ The next day ]────────

The maiden slumped on her desk after greeting the students including her classmates and almost immediately burying her face into her arms, totally tired due to the yesterday event in the student council room. It was considered herself lucky as her brother arrived right on time after seeing her being dragged by their president.

Exhaling a low sigh, slowly glancing at your side and finally noticed the bento presence on the desk of his; since your desk was next to him. Raising an eyebrow at it, you only brush the thought of looking inside it off, obviously respecting their privacy.

Well, that's it until he would open the bento later or during lunch. He was quite famous, no doubt that.

You heard the door slid open, your whole face scrunched when your gaze landed on the blond-haired devil. Heart beating like crazy and buried your face once again in your arms.

"Mornin'."

Speaking of the devil.

"Morning Minamoto!"

"Kyaaa~! So handsome!"

The male greeted everyone with a smile before casting his gaze on your figure. He let out a small sigh though his smile remained and heading towards you. Placing a hand on your shoulder, he softly smiles when he could feel your whole body stiffened.

"Good morning, [Y/N]."

"Mornin'." He smiled at how your voice was muffled by your arms but the smile disappeared when you continued, "Someone gave you a bento lunch. Maybe from one of your fans?"

Or from the same radish legs girl.

His frown immediately disappeared when you look up to his desk, not making any eye contact with him, even. He placed his bag on the side and untying the knot of the fabric that has love shaped patterns around it before opening it.

Peering over, you saw the sender made a horrendous looking character bento that looks like ghost characters instead. He quickly re-closing the bento cover and tying it back, now on his two feet.

"I think someone lost it. I'll give it to the lost and found."

Looking over at his retreating form as you currently in a deep if thought, you would have laughed at his comment but knowing who would be the sender, you felt sorry for her.

She certainly overdid it.

───────────────

"[Y/N]-senpai!" A familiar masculine with a cheerful tone of voice called out from you, making your lips curling into a wide smile and spun yourself slightly around to look at him.

"Ah! Kou—"You caught a glimpse of two blonde-headed males which one of them flashed you an enthusiastic smile that would always make your day twenty-percentages brighter which soon disappeared when your eyes were casted to the other one, kind of giving you unpeaceful smile that makes you squirming under his gaze.

When Kou running over to where you are standing and catching up on you before abruptly engulfed you in a hug, which surprised and dismaying his older brother who had his face darkened though his smile remained as he walked over.

"Seeenpaaiii!!"He sang, hugging you closer which you willingly returned and snuggling him with a content smile.

"Koouhaaiii!"You replied with the same tone of his with your heart starts melting due to the cuteness and heartwarming of his which reminds you of your past when you hugged Shinto when the two of you were alive.

"Stop it."

The two of you abruptly shot your eyes open and look up at the tall male, resentment flashed in his eyes and was shown on his shadow casted feature. Seeing his reaction, an amusement smirk was produced on your lips and spun the younger Minamoto around so he would have his back pressed against you, his face flushed in embarrassment at the realization.

"Ara ara, is our Kaichou is jealous that his precious otōto is hugging someone else that is not him?"Your smirk grew wider as he is now hovering over the two of you.

"You are spewing nothing but crap."

"Oi."His reply resulted for you to get irked and not wanting to worsen the situation, you released your grip around Kou and spun your heels around to walk away towards the library, "Anyway, see you later."

「❀」「❀」「❀」

Walking out from the library with a low tired sigh at the small piles of books in your grasp and was about to continue walking when a familiar voice piped in, making your eyes snapped wide open.

"Let me carry those books for you."

The female glanced up at the owner of the voice in bewildered but before she could refuse, he quickly took those books away from her grasp which startled her.

"Wha—! Hey!"She called out for him when he quickly walking, not even waiting for her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes before catching up for him with Kou tagging along from behind.

"You two followed me here just for that? What a gentleman you are. "She chuckled but he only smiled.

"I know."

"I was being sarcastic."She sighed with her eyes closed before tiredly looking back at the siblings, "But why so sudden?"

"Because!"The younger one started and turning himself so he would be facing the female who is slightly shorter than him with a wide grin, "Teru-nii is always bullying [Y/N]-nee! That's why I'll protect her with all my might!"

Stating the words with his chest puffed with pride, receiving different expressions from both human and the supernatural.

"You are being paranoid, Kou. I've never bullying her."Teru muttered, not liking his brother seeing him like that while your whole face lit up in happiness.

"My, you truly look like samurai in shining karuta armor. This is why you are my favorite Kouhai."You praised with a wide smile that managed to makes the boy's smile even brighter as he shot you another enthusiastic grin.

"Of course! I'm your samurai, [Y/N]-nee! I'll always protect you not just because you are short."

That word hits you like a bullet as you got shot by an invisible one while Teru, who is currently trying his best not to burst out laughing with his palm was clasped over his mouth, his whole body is trembling at the amusement of his younger brother's obliviousness.

You did a good job, Kou!

Kou blinked his eyes in confusion when the whole demeanor the two of you abruptly went opposite 360 degrees. The female supernatural then cleared her throat and parting her lips slightly to continue their conversation,

"Kou, my dear. Let me clear all this misunderstanding. I'm only an inch shorter than you—"

When a new voice interrupted. Precisely; shouting.

"Now!"

Your eyes snapped wide open once again when you heard stomping sound against the wooden floor is coming over to your way. Before you could fully alerting yourself and the males, someone who looks like they intentionally colliding themselves onto Kou which resulted for the two of you got the same impact since he was standing in front of you hard and knocking you the air out from your lungs as you was sent into the air along with the younger blonde and . . .

Stairs, why do you have to be there?

Kou crashed onto you as the two of you fell down from stairs with weight increased when the anonymous accidentally bumping themselves against you and the male and leading it to another complete mess that was caused by them with you on top of the male, eyes swirling in dizziness from bumping your head against each of the staircase and on the floor from a quite high place.

And quite hard.

"[Y/N]?! Kou?! [Y/NNN]!! Kouu!!!"The older Minamoto rushed over to the scene obviously ridiculously concern when Kou already passed out while you barely managed to keep yourself conscious.

You barely caught a glimpse of white hair and assumed it was the same girl, "Kami-sama. Can I really lead myself out from this madness?"Letting out a bitter laugh before pitch black invades your vision.

"Hey! Someone just went flying!

"They fell down those stairs! Are they okay?!"

"Tsubasa-san?!"

"Wha— Nee-san!"Your brother who happened to be there ran over to your unconscious figure, not knowing what to do when he is in a panic state.

"Huh? Who did I run into?"The Daikon girl mumbled, adjusting her blurry view but after seeing this devastating sight, she immediately freaked out along with the Minamoto Teru.

"Ambulance! Call an ambulance!"

"I'm so sorry!"

───────────────

"Just a little bit more . . .and there. All done."Tsuchigomori muttered before closing the first aid kit, finally done placing a band-aid on the bruise on the forehead of yours.

"You can go now."The man with two-colored hair sighed after treating your wounds and bruises on your head from the impact that you received, having some bandages and band-aids on here and there.

. . .

Yeah, nothing serious . . .

"Thank you, Tsuchigomori."You muttered bitterly, rolling down the sleeve of your uniform carefully and standing up from the bed to your feet, "Nonetheless, this would heal soon. I'm a spirit, you know. You don't need to bandage the injuries like these are serious."

Both of you exchanged a farewell wave as you began walking through the corridor but when you felt a presence in the corner, you let your guard up.

You abruptly stopped when the male; who Nene confessed one month ago- making a turn to see you before his whole face flushed red while holding something in his hand.

Thinking it was nothing, you were about to walk straight past him when he stopped you,

"Ano, Tsubasa-san."The unfamiliar voice called out for you, halting your movements and lifting your gaze to meet his with a questioning look.

This guy knew me? I don't even know him.

"C-Can you please meet me under The Confession Tree after school? There is something that I need to tell you."He exclaimed sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck with his palm. You pondered about it for a moment and hesitantly nodding your head before the unknown male flashing you a charming smile that failed to make your heart skip a beat as you watch him leave.

Unknowing to you there is a certain human male who watches with face showed only scowl and discomfort before leaving the hallway to leave you alone.

───────[ Later ]────────

A field was quite windy as a warm breeze hits your skin, blowing through your hair and the sight of you are totally mesmerizing in the eyes of everyone especially the males as you saw the same male earlier was waiting for you, moving back and forth as if in anxiety.

Knowing where this would lead to, you took a deep breath and a script of rejection but not too hard was noted in your mind before slowly taking steps forward to the anxious boy.

He finally noticed your presence as you draw closer and couldn't help but noticed a sign of relief was shown across his visage, making you formed a small frown.

Was he thinking that you wouldn't come?

You would have left this situation if you can. Shaking your head softly to shaking off the thought and gives him a small wave, now standing in front of him while he averted his gaze everywhere but you.

"L-Listen, Tsubasa-san. A-Actually . . . I've been liking you ever since you helped me with math! So please, be my girlfriend!"He shouted with his right hand extended out, bowing his head down 90-degree angle with his eyes screwed shut.

What should you do?

You don't even know him.

Helped him? You have been helping everyone with math recently, that would be one of the reasons why you don't remember him. The image of his was completely blurry in your mind as you search for him in your memories but no avail.

And the worst part for him is . . .

He is not really your type.

Clearing your throat after realizing you still haven't told him the answer and manifestly none of those alternatives in your mind you would choose, substantially the last one. Parting your mouth and was about to say something when someone beats you to it.

"She clearly has no interest in you."A masculine yet soft voice piped in as the owner must be standing behind you as you heard footsteps were drawing closer to where you are standing. You would've turned your head behind but by inhaling their scent, you unconsciously displayed a grateful smile to your savior.

And it looks like his words angered the other male who snapped his head upwards to look at the certain anonymous who is standing next to you with a furious look, "Who the hell are you to interrupted us?!"

"A screw loose and short-tempered man like you doesn't deserve to be my sister's boyfriend. She deserves someone better."It was Aishi turns to spat, giving the chills running down to the male's spine when he sends a narrow glare.

"You bastard-!"The man was about to charge towards your brother who is only waiting for him to come closer so he could send him to his boundary and devour him there when a kokeshi doll comes flying from the sky and hit the back of his head, knocking him out simultaneously as he fell on the ground with a 'thud'.

Aishi and his sister blinked their eyes twice before he picking up the item in his hand, both of them tilting their heads to the side.

"A flying kokeshi doll?"

Before looking up to the sky, and saying simultaneously,

"From the sky?"

───────────────

Teru watched the scene from the window of the school building with a soft smile of relief, wrapping his blade back in the black fabric. It looks like he is not going to show any action to you but telling your brother about your situation is one of the best choices that he did.
