Two weeks have passed since Hollow's fight and Urahara's visit. Nothing's changed from there except that Yui returned home, and V came back after two days of disappearing. He asked what kind of person Tatsuki is, as if I knew that, dumbass.
Also, around that time, I started to sense a little bit of reiatsu around me. Kasami told me that it was a great improvement, but I don't think it's that big. And Ichigo started accompanying me and teaching various things about being a Shinigami and Hollows kind.
Right now, I'm at the school roof eating my lunch before Naoya comes in and sees me sitting alone.
Naoya: "Still not comfortable with the group?" he said as he sat beside me.
Hoshito: "What do you think? It's not easy to get an introvert like me into a group of high spirits."
Naoya: "Heh~ so you admit to being an introvert, mister I'm cool but dumb at the same time~."
Hoshito: "What did you say?! When did I do anything dumb?!"
Naoya: "When you sometimes walk while lost in thoughts, or that's what you claim, and when you trip off none exist rock." He said with a fox smile on his face.
I had no words since they were all true. Clumsy stuff happens to me around the school. The student's glance was puzzled, and it's pretty understandable, even I was puzzled by this.
Hoshito: "Give me a break, it's not like I'm doing this on purpose."
Naoya: "I know, and that's what makes this funnier. Hahaha."
We then started arguing about that for a while until Ichigo and his male friends came in. Keigo jumped at me, telling me to stop running and join them. Mizuiro sits beside Chad and tells Keigo to calm down. Ichigo sits down with his lunch, and Ishida stands near us.
The moment wasn't bad; it made my mind relax for a moment, but then suddenly a fake memory came to my head. This time, the memory was about me shouting to become a hero when I was a kid, and obviously, Tsukishima was there too.
Hoshito: 'Damn it! Not again..! not now…!' I thought while showing a stiff expression on my face.
Mizuiro noticed the change on my face.
Mizuiro: "Yuru-Kun, what's wrong?"
Hoshito: "Hmm…? Ah, well, I kind of feeling unconformable right now." I said while hiding my pain from others.
Mizuiro: "I see, Yuru-Kun, you are just like Ichigo back in first year." He said while smiling.
Hoshito/ Ichigo: "We don't…!"
Keigo: 'Whoa, perfectly synchronized.'
Chad: 'They actually do.'
Ishida: 'Both of them somehow give a familiar vibe.'
I saw Naoya chuckle while covering his mouth. Out of frustration, I got up and left the roof. After a few steps, Chad came to me with concern expression.
Chad: "Yuru-Kun, please don't think badly about Kojima- kun didn't mean-"
Hoshito: "I don't care and let him say whatever he wants."
Chad took back from me, interrupting him. He came close to me with heavy eyes.
Chad: "Yuru-Kun, can I ask you something?"
Hoshito: "Is it about Tsukishima?"
He nodded to me.
Chad: "Yuru… you got cut from Tsukishima, am I right?"
My eyes widened when he said that I never expected him to figure it out, but then again, he and Orihime were the ones who cut by Tsukishima's fullbring.
Hoshito: "That's right… he cut me, but he didn't actually cut me, he only stabbed me from behind."
Chad's eyes were wide, and he put his hand on my shoulder.
Hoshito: "Don't say anything, you and I both know, no one can overcome this ability of Tsukishima's." I said and gave him cold eyes before he said anything about helping me.
Chad: "Yuru-Kun, how did you-?!"
I brushed him off and walked away. Chad was stunned by the fact that he didn't follow me.
Hoshito: 'Shit. I slipped up! I hope he doesn't ask more questions later.'

After school, I went straight to my house, and I didn't wait for Ichigo this time. The fake memory was stuck in my head, and it's bothering me as I start recalling some of what I was saying back then.
Tsukishima: "Hoshi, what did you wish for your birthday?"
Hoshito: "I wished to be just like those heroes who stood up against evil."
Tsukishima: "Is that so? What a great wish." He said while patting my head.
I clinched my teeth, and my expression changed to a disgusting one. I punched the wall near my house before arriving.
Hoshito: 'What a disgusting way this ability works.'
I entered the house and didn't find Kasami in the house, so I went to my room and didn't leave for a while.
I left the room after calming myself and went to the kitchen to make some tea. After that, I went to the same back door that was destroyed by Hollow's attack. The door was fixed as if it wasn't broken before.
Hoshito: "That's Urahara for you, genius but goofy at the same time."
At that moment, I found two people standing in my backyard, and they both wore the same black kimono. One of them was a young girl who was shorter than her friend; she had black hair hanging on her face and violet eyes. Her face was cold and elegant, showing that she was from a noble family.
The other one is a tall guy with long red hair; his eyes are narrow, and he wears a headband. He has brown eyes, and he is a muscular guy.
They were both looking around and talking to each other about something.
Rukia: "Strange, there was a fight here, but there are no traces of it. Do you think it's because of Urahara-San?"
Renji: "It's possible, but that doesn't answer who was fighting here; obviously, it wasn't Ichigo since it wasn't his style."
Rukia: "Then who could it be? The traces show he hasn't experienced one, and it wasn't long of him being Shinigami too." She said while putting her fingers on her chin
As they talked, the red-haired guy noticed me staring at them. My expression was natural, and I was drinking my tea.
Renji: "Hey, Rukia, that guy was staring at us for a while. You don't think he can see us?" he said while pointing at me with a puzzled expression.
Hoshito: "Hey, don't mind me, continue your investigation, and for your information, you are trespassing on my house."
