Previously,
"You are? Great!" He smiled. "I don't want Amane's girlfriend dying." He patted my head with his non-bloody hand. He get up and continued walking. "Still, Mitsuba... You really are hopeless. You can't do anything on your own." He told Mitsuba. The pink ghost started crying. "There, There." Tsukasa pats Mitsuba's head.

"What is going on?"

-Hell of Mirrors and Insecurities Part 2-

Warning again! Suicide!

~Review~

Y/N- Hello! This is your eight out of ten Irritating Senpai heroine Y/N L/N.

Hanako- Eight?

Yashiro- You are like a twenty!

Kou-Yeah!

Y/N- A mysterious hand pulled me into the Boundary of Wonder Number Three, the Hell of Mirrors. There, I was rescued by a rat named Tsukasa. Even though he tried getting rid of me and Nene before just because we are Hanako's assistants. What is going on?

~~~~~~

I turn to the dead bird. Weren't they supposed to be unbeatable in their own Boundaries? "You know." Tsukasa got up. I turned to him. I felt my heart trying to leap out of my chest. "I did tell you. You're so weak you can't stay in the living world Mitsuba. So, unless you want to disappear, you have to work hard and get stronger." He walked past me and examine the body on the floor. "Hmm... I think it's around here. I told you if you want to get stronger..." He dives his hand into the corpse.

I cover my eyes. I felt my legs giving up on me. I wanted to leave. Where is Hanako? "...you've got to beat a strong apparition and eat it," Tsukasa said. I widened my eyes under my hands.

~~~With the boys and Nene (Hanako's Pov)~~~

"So, why did you come to me?" My former Professor named Tsuchigomori said. "I mean, it's been two hours since my princess was kidnapped but, I can't go into Number Three's Boundary!" I explained. Yashiro and Kou agreed silently. "Me, the boy, and Yashiro tried prostrating ourselves and begging it to let us in, but it didn't work," I told him. "We are begging you! Mr. Tsuchigomori!" Yashiro pleaded with her hands together.

"Listen..." Tsuchigomori started. "If Y/N... Got hurt or anything, I would never be able to forgive myself." I felt my dead heart sink. "She's my girlfriend. So tell me, Tsuchigomori. Please?" I prayed. "Each of the Seven Wonders' Boundaries has its own function. My library is the 'School Records." Tsuchigomori throws me another Wonder.

"Number Two's is 'Space.' Meaning that you can reach almost anywhere in the school through her Boundary," Tsuchigomori told me. "What? But I thought we destroyed Number Two's Boundary along with her Yorishiro!" Yashiro stayed by Kou's side. "Oh, that just took away her authority over it. The Boundary itself still exists, although I'm sure it's falling apart without anyone to oversee it. Isn't that right, echinococcus?" The spider smirked at the fox. "Quiet, gloomy spider! Why should I help, anyway? I could care less what happens to your girl-"

"Kitsune Udon." I bring out my kitchen knife. "I have nothing to-"

"Udon," I repeated. "Udon." I smiled and I played with my knife a bit more. "Fine." She whispered. "Yay!" Yashiro cheered. "All right!" I put away my weapon.

~~~~~

"This is the place right?" I asked. "Let's go." Yako started jumping on the stairs. We got transported to her old Boundary and Yashiro gasped as she looks around. "Wow." I look around. "It's gotten a lot prettier!" Kou said. "Be quiet," Yako demanded. "I'll lead you to Number Three's Boundary." Yako turned to her human form. "Don't wander off," Yako ordered. We follow her silently until Kou said something.

"Hey, fox." Kou began. "What is it, stupid brat?" Yako said. Yashiro was trembling at the sight of how high we were going. "Someone changed your rumor, so you went way off the rails and attacked us, right?" Kou asked. "I see you like to dredge up unpleasant subjects. So what?" Yako turns to us. "Oh, well... I just wondered what that felt like." Kou confessed. "Excuse me?! What do you want to know that for? How boorish!" She shouted. "I knew Misaki was one of the only good humans!" She yelled turning in front of her.

"You see, the boy can't get over his ghost friend who disappeared after someone changed his rumor. A little bit like you, huh?" I tried explaining. "How so?" She turned in our direction. "I see...It wasn't a nice feeling, looking back on it now. But, that was definitely me. I was out of control, but I didn't turn into something else. It was just that a side of me I normally conceal was forced to the surface." She clarified. "I see..." Kou looks at the journal he brought. Yashiro yelled and Kou took her hand.

"So, if you said anything to your friend, maybe it reached him, even if he didn't understand. After all, no matter how twisted he was or what shape he shifted into, your friend was still himself." Yako added. I held my left cheek. "We've arrived. This leads to Number Three's Boundary." She showed us a huge mirror. "Is this... A mirror?" Yashiro asked.

"Isn't it kind...sinister?" Kou added. I poked the purple portal. "Just so you know, this is as far as I'll take you. Figure out how to get back on your own." Yako warned us. "All right!" Yashiro said excitedly. "Thanks, for-" Before Kou can finish, Yako goes to her fox form and bites the side of his head. "Don't call me fox!" She demanded. "Call me Yako-neesan!" She added.

"Y-Yo, Neesan!" Kou studdered. "That's better." She said. "Is it really?" I asked. "All right. Are you ready?" I asked Kou and Yashiro. "Yes!" Yashiro nods her head. She looked terrified at the sight. "It's okay Yashiro-Senpai. I will protect you." Kou reminded her. "We'll show that damn mirror who's boss!" Kou added. I pulled out my kitchen knife. We then, dashed inside.

~~~With Y/N~~~

I was sitting on the ground, terrified at the sight before me. Tsukasa was trying to force Mitsuba to eat Wonder Three's heart. "Cool, huh?" Tsukasa asked. "Apparitions have hearts, too," Tsukasa told the pink spirit. "Hang on!" Mitsuba pleaded. "Please stop."

I got up. Tsukasa forced Mitsuba's mouth open. "Now say 'ah." He requested. I pull his arm back. "Stop! Please!" I begged. "Y/N-Chan..." He whispered. "H-He doesn't want to eat it Tsukasa," I told him. All of a sudden. He went to slam my head on the floor. I close my eyes but, to my surprise. I didn't. "Oh." He lifts me back up and carries me. "I'm supposed to be gentle with girls." He told himself. I felt a few tears still flow on my cheeks. "Sorry." He pats my head. "There, there. Be a good girl and keep quiet." He smiled as he touched my forehead. I felt my body weaken as my eyes closed.

~~~Y/N's Dream~~~

I barely open the door to my room. "Mom?" I mumbled. I walk out of my room and go into my siblings. "Hey..." I chuckle and I wall further into my sibling's room. "Where are you?" I asked them scanning the dark room. I try turning on the light but, I was too short. I rush over to their lamp and turn it on. The lampshade has stars cut out so when you turn it on, it looked like stats were lighting on your room. They loved space and taught me a lot. Even at the age of seven, I knew a lot about stars and the moon. "Hey, (Sibling's name), where are you?" I look around... Then I saw feet. "(S/N)... Why are you floating?"

~~~~~~

~~~Hanako's Pov (again)~~~

We fall through a broken mirror and land on the ground. Kou helps Yashiro up. "Is this it?! Where's Y/N?!" Yashiro asked. "Calm down! This is the place." I informed them. I didn't have room to talk though. I was terrified of the fact Y/N could be hurt...or worse, dead.

I look around to see Y/N passed out of some rocks. "Y/N!" I shouted. We rushed over to her. "Y/N! Y/N! Please wake up!" The Daikon cried. "Y/N! You stupid tomato! Wake up!" Nene threw light punches at Y/N's arm. She was still breathing, thankfully. I pulled her close to me. "She's just sleeping." I smiled. "Thank goodness," Kou said. Kou soonly left my vision. I held Y/N as tight as I can.

"No way, are you..." I heard Kou. I turned in his direction to see Mitsuba. "Mitsuba?" Kou questioned. "How?" He walks closer. "I mean, you disappeared back then. Mitsuba! Were you all right?! Are you hurt or anything?" Kou asked. "Huh? What's with your hands?" Kou asked. I let go of Y/N and kissed her forehead. I told Nene to to sit with her and I noticed the skeleton and I connected the dots. "Boy, get back!" I told him. Before he can do anything, he got attacked. "Where...did that come...from?" Kou asked. I watched claws tower over Mitsuba. The claws started attacking us. "He's surprisingly fast, huh?" I asked myself. I slice the talons with my weapons.

"Mitsuba!" I heard the last voice I wanted to hear. "Are you done eating?" He asked. "Wh-What are you doing here?" I asked my brother. "Tsukasa..."

~~~Y/N Pov~~~

"Oh? Oh! Long time no see!" I heard voices as I woke up. "Y/N! You're up." The teary daikon hugged me. I rub my head. "Amane, Amane!" Tsukasa cheered. "I'm so glad you are up!" Nene told me. "Hi, Nene. My head hurts." I tried smiling.

"W-what are these things?" The pink ghost asked. I looked next to us. "Mitsuba?" I whispered. "What's going on?" Mitsuba was crying. Tsukasa reached for him and the ghost backs away. Tsukasa lays his hand on the spirit's shoulder. "Whoa there. There are for protecting you, Mitsuba. Calm down and control them." Tsukasa ordered. "O-Okay." Mitsuba barely said. "That's it. Great job." Tsukasa pets the new Wonder. The tentacles calmed down. "Tsukasa..." Hanako mumbled. Kou held Hanako's shoulder.

"Damn you. What've you done to him...to Mitsuba this time? Tell me!" Kou asked. "I made Mitsuba's wish come true. The price was his 'reason', a piece of his soul. Back then, I took out a piece of Mitsuba's soul, his 'reason', and held onto it. After that, the rest was easy, I just made a body by scraping together lesser spirits that were about to vanish and stuck Mitsuba's soul into it. See? Instant Mitsuba!" Tsukasa smirked.

"But he's a totally different person. I guess he'd have to be. The Mitsuba Sousuke who lived and died as a human no longer exists in this world." Tsukasa explained. "Why?" Kou gripped his staff tighter. "Why would you do that? It's your fault Mitsuba is gone."

"Hmm... I guess I always wanted to try making an artificial human! Oh but he's a ghost, so I guess that makes him an artificial ghost? I wasn't expecting him to end up so weak he couldn't exist in the living world, but isn't he kind of cool?" Tsukasa ranted. Nene held me tighter. Kou almost hits Tsukasa with his staff but barely misses. "Damn you!" He cursed. "Cut the crap! Mitsuba... Mitsuba's not your toy!" Kou yelled.

"Oh... Should I not have made this one, then?" They disappeared and I look around. I get up to see them floating. "I'm gonna fall!" Mitsuba yelled. "You were just born with nothing, but now you have Number Three's power. What'll you do? Let your new power be taken away and disappear? Or steal a position in the Seven Wonders and take over this Boundary? What'll be, Mitsuba?" Tsukasa got quite close to Mitsuba. "I'll go it. I don't want to disappear yet. If the alternative is disappearing while I still have nothing... If that's my choice, I'll become a Wonder, or whatever it takes!" Mitsuba confessed.

"I see, If that's your wish, I'll make it come true." Tsukasa changes Mitsuba to make his clothes different. "From now on, Mitsuba, you're Wonder Number Three," Tsukasa told him. "Mitsuba..." I mumbled.

"What is this? It's fun!" Mitsuba asked playing with his skeleton tentacles. "This Boundary is yours now, Mitsuba. What kind of apparition do you want to be? You can be whatever you want!" Tsukasa announced. "Whatever I want?" Mitsuba repeated. "Then... I want to be normal. I want to be a normal human. Can I?" Mitsuba wished.

"Yup. You can." Tsukasa said. "No!" Hanako shouted as the Haku-Joudai circled them. "Apparitions born in the land of the dead are forbidden from living as humans in the land of the living. I'll need to give back Number Three's position." Hanako told them. Kou stood in front of me and Nene. Tsukasa laughed. "Are you sure? Mitsuba's gotten pretty strong, you know? He might squish you like a bug!" Tsukasa replied.

"This is Mitsuba's Boundary now. Mitsuba's unbeatable here. Come on, Mitsuba, squash 'em!" Tsukasa commanded. "Huh? Mitsuba?" Tsukasa noticed he left. "Oh, there you are!" Tsukasa cheered. He looked like he was trying to leave. "What're you doing?" Tsukasa asked while floating to him. "Stay back!" Mitsuba then whispered something to Hanako's brother. "Why?" Tsukasa questioned. "Why?!" Mitsuba repeated. "Just look at him! How am I supposed to beat a guy with a knife?!"

"What? It'll be a piece of cake. Just squash him with your new power." Tsukasa advised. "Don't be ridiculous! Look how cute I am!" Mitsuba argued. They disagreed until Tsukasa punched him in the face. "Do it." He said. "I-I-I'd be happy to." Mitsuba gets up and takes a breather. "Okay, here goes." He mumbled. "You four. I already know Y/N-Chan. Let me think... Got it! Crazy Knife, Daikon-senpai, and... Lame-ass Traffic-safety Earring!" He smiled at himself. "Who are you calling Crazy Knife?!" Hanako asked. Nene was still. "Nene, don't take it seriously." I smiled. "Okay. Does your head feel any better?" She asked. I shook my head. "Don't point your knife at me! A-A-Anyway, this is my place now! Your lives are in my hands!" Mitsuba declared.

"Like in (Close one. I am not putting the full word.) po-" Tsukasa asked. "Yeah, just like in po- what'd you just make me say?!" Mitsuba yelled. Hanako came over to hug me protectively. I grew even more tired as my head pounded. Kou stood in front of Nene as a way to protect her. He squeezed me a bit but I just smiled weakly. Kou grabs Mitsuba by the arm. "Umm, excuse me?" Mitsuba mumbled.

Kou didn't say anything. He just squeezed the Wonder's arm. "H-Hey, what do you want? Are you captivated by my cuteness? Well? What's your deal?" Mitsuba invited him to reply. "Your earring's super lame," Mitsuba added. "Hey, don't you remember me?" Kou questioned him. "Huh? What are you talking about? I don't get it. Who the hell are you?" Mitsuba asked.

Kou stared at him a bit more. "A-Are we done? We're done, right? Let go." Mitsuba takes his hand away. "Hey! Wait a sec!" Kou grabs Mitsuba's hand again. "Whoa! What's your problem?!" Mitsuba yelled. Kou took Mitsuba's face into his hands. "My name is Kou! Minamoto Kou! Remember it, you girly-looking dummy!" He lets go and walks away. He grabs the Activity Log and shoves it to Mitsuba. "What's this?" The ghost examines the book.

"Shut up! Just take it, you faker!" Kou said. "Excuse me?!" Mitsuba shouted. Tsukasa shoved them away. "Okay, that's enough of that." The rat told them. "What are you do-" Before Kou can finish, Tsukasa was already dragging him away. "You have better things to do, right Mitsuba?" Tsukasa asked him.

Hanako gets up and kisses me on the forehead. I put my hand where he kissed me and blushed. I look at Nene and she looked upset. I hug her with my other arm. "Here." Tsukasa puts Mitsuba in front of Hanako. "No! A knife! He's gonna kill me!" He takes his talons out in defense. He grabs me and Nene and starts running. "Watch out!" He warned Kou. "Wow!  I'm impressed!" Tsukasa said. "Hey Hanako, what do we do?!" Kou said, preparing for a fight. "To take back his position as a Wonder, we need to destroy his Yorishiro, but Y/N still doesn't feel well, so we'll have to start...by keeping him under control." He sets us down and charges Mitsuba.

"W-Wait Hanako!" Kou shouted. Hanako puts Mitsuba in a chokehold with his knife next to his throat. "Mitsuba, you aren't even a dead person who once lived in the living world. You're a pure apparition, the furthest thing from a living human. That means...you can never become human. Give up." Hanako told him. "No!" Mitsuba resisted. Some of his tentacles grabbed onto the wall. "Nene!" I hug her and I protect her head. We were about to get trampled by some rocks. I started to cry.

"Mitsuba?" I questioned. "Ow ow ow... Senpai!" He got up. I kept Nene in my arms. "Please... If you destroy the Boundary it would be a problem for me. So I mean... Go home for today!" He commanded. "What?" I stood up a little too quickly, making my vision dizzy. I heard mirrors shake behind me. I turn around to see hundreds of hands pull all of us inside mirrors. "Oh no!" Nene shouted. "Let go!" I cried. "I'm being pulled into the mirror!" Nene added. "Stop! Don't grab my ankles!"

"Mitsuba! Please! Why are you-" I look at the ghost? "Shh... Don't struggle. See you." He gave me a warm smile. That was the last thing I saw before I got consumed by the mirror.

~~~~~~

"Are they dead?" Someone said. "Let's wake up Y/N!" Another said. I felt something pull my hair gently. I open my eyes and gasps. "Mitsuba!" I sit up as I look around. "Y/N!" Pink bunnies surround me. "Hey..." I mumbled to them. I try getting up put I tripped backward instead. I was so close to landing on Hanako but thankfully. Only my legs dangle on his waist. Leaving me on the floor. I move a bit and I get up, using the sink as support. "Damn my head hurts," I mentioned to no one in particular.

I pick up Nene and I put her on the window. I left Kou on the floor and I put Hanako on one of the toilets. I grab a blanket and I wrap Nene in it tightly. I shake Kou. "Kou! Get up!" I yelled. "Y-Yashiro-Senpai?" He opened his eyes halfway. "No. It's Y/N. Is it okay if you take Nene? I can't do anything with this pounding headache." I told him. "What do you want me to do?" He asked. "I don't know. Take her back to her house. Also, call Yashiro's mom to tell her. Include the underclassman and friend part." I suggested. "I mean. I guess." He scratched the back of his head. "Great. Don't hurt her. I don't want to explain to her how she got hurt by her prince charming, right?" I smile as I hand Nene to him. I saw his blush through the darkness.

"O-Okay." He left and I waved goodbye. I collapse on the floor and smile. I could finally lay here without any worry about my life being in danger. I am not strong so carrying Nene and Amane was a lot for me. "Hey, you okay?" One of the pink mokke asked me. "Yeah. I guess." I tried smiling. I heard the Mokke leave so I just left with my thoughts.

I replayed what happened and it got my crybaby tear to come back again. I was about to cry. "Hey! Aren't you supposed to be at home?!" I heard an adult ask. I slowly sit up to see my spider teacher. "Where's Number Seven?" He asked. I point to the stall next to me. "Are you okay?" Yako in her human form sat down in front of me. Mr. Tsuchigomori checked the stall. "Number Seven! Wake your ass up!" Mr. Tsuchigomori shouted. "Aww poor girl..." Yako pets my head.

"It will be okay." Yako picks me up and sets me down on the window. She sits next to me as I bring my legs closer to my body and bury my head into my arms. "Are you tired?" Yako asked. "Yes." I replied. "Hey Spider Legs! The girl is tired! Where is the blanket?" She asked. I heard the bickering get more silent as I cover my ears. "Guys! Behave!" Hanako ordered. "She had enough of that at her last home!"

"Yes, sir." They said in sync as they left. "Are you okay princess?" Amane asked. I heard his voice come closer. I didn't respond. I just wanted to rest. I few minutes later I heard Amane shout. "Where did my blanket go?!" He looked everywhere in the closet. "I swear if that boy took it."
