The knock was heard, and we all looked towards the door.
"Hey kid, looks like, your guests are here. It would be wise to answer the door." Yasuharu stated.
"Yeah come on Kazu-kun!" Yuri chirped happily
"Kazu...kun?" I asked looking towards Yasuharu.
"Its a nasty little habit of hers. She's always giving her superiors, as well as people she just met, nicknames." he explained.
"Hey! Kazumi! Answer!" a familiar voice shouted from outside.
"Hiro!" I shouted quietly. "Coming!" I ran to the door to be greeted by two very familiar faces. The first: Male, thick, short black hair, green eyes, dressed in a black t-shirt and blue jeans. The second was Hiro's girlfriend, Nami. She was shorter than him, with long dark brown hair and light blue eyes, she was wearing a black skirt, almost mirroring Yuri's, except Nami's had an intricate pattern on the bottom hem.
"Hi Kazumi!" Nami shouted throwing her arms around my shoulders.
"I thought you were with me." Hiro stated walking past me. Nami let go and pranced over to Hiro. Yuri was already standing behind Hiro with her hands on his shoulders.
"Aww! Is lil Hiro jealous cause his girlfriend's hugging another man? I'm here if you need anyone." She let her arms flop to his front and nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck. Nami pulled her off him as Hiro started to blush.
"Hey! He's mine back off!" a slightly angered Nami shouted. Yuri simply nonchalantly walked away a few steps, then walked back and pulled Nami into a huge hug.
"Oh, I know we're gonna be good friends!" Yuri yelled as she shook Nami.
"Um, okay, My name's Nami, and yours?" Nami asked as she offered her hand.
"I'm Yuri! And that stuck up guy over there is Haru, he can be a stick in the mud, but once you get to know him, hes pretty good to be with." she continued as Yasuharu just stood there, his anger probably growing. Hiro moved away from the giddy girls and approached Yasuharu.
"So, your name is Haru?" Hiro asked as nicely as he could.
"Yasuharu actually. So, your Hiro?" Yasuharu asked in return.
"Yeah, so how'd you meet Kazumi, he isn't exactly the most social."
"Knowing that information, I could ask the same of you couldn't I?" Yasuharu asked in return.
"Ah so true, we actually met on a bus ride. I heard him listening to a band, that among the people at our school, weren't very popular, but I liked them, so being the more social one, which I didn't know at the time, I asked him about it. We got to talking, and as it turned out, we had a lot in common, been best of friends since then. That was about four years ago, the end of junior high." Hiro concluded and looked over at me, when I was in the middle of a joint hug from the two girls.
"Maybe when talking about me, you might want to make sure I can't hear it." I said, prying the girls off me.
"If you heard everything then you know we said nothing wrong." Hiro said turning towards Nami.
"Yeah I know, but its still rude." I turned towards Yasuharu. "And you. From now on, I'm calling you Haru from now on." I said with a smile.
"Ah, Yuri got to you. To be honest, I don't care anymore. Shes been doing it ever since we met. Remember though, you can't tell anyone about your powers as a Guardian. If you do, we'll be forced to eliminate them. Also, never remove that bracelet, things will happen, that you WILL regret." the way he said it all made a wave of cold come over me causing me to shiver. "Strange ain't it?" he walked over to the door to let more people in.
"Yeah I get it."
The rest of the night went pretty well, nothing bad happened, except the odd way Saaya, the girl that I like, fell on me. Everyone had left, except Haru, Yuri, Hiro, and Nami.
"You still have to admit, they way she fell was funny." Hiro said, holding in most of his laughter.
"I'm gonna half to agree with him Kazu-kun." Yuri said, her arms draped over my shoulders.
"It was not funny guys!" I shouted, blushing.
"I thought it was funny." Haru said, chuckling a little as he sat on the arm of the chair Nami was sitting in.
"Didn't think it was possible for this guy to show emotion." she said looking at him.
"Well whether funny or not, you two can discuss it Monday at school." Hiro added
"What're you talking about?" I said whipping my head towards him.
"I heard, your new lab partner in Chem. class, is Saaya." Hiro said calmly. I sat on the floor, staring blankly, my blush deepening.
"Oh my, that sounds like fun! I wanna see what he does!" Yuri chirped
"As do I. I wanna see how he anti-socialite acts in the world." Haru stated. I simply glared, with light pink cheeks.
Once Hiro and Yuri left, I went back to the living room to talk to Haru and Yuri.
"Okay, guys, I don't have a guest room so-" I looked at them to see Haru asleep in the chair and Yuri asleep on the couch. "Never mind." I walked towards my bedroom. 'I wonder when all this stuff with the Shinigami is going to start. I pray I survive my future adventures as a member of the Hogasha.' I felt a strange, almost evil energy fly past me in waves. I looked out my window and saw nothing but black night. 'Must've been the wind, or the Shinigami activity has begun.' I walked down the hall to my room, and went off to bed.
