"Are you aware that you are dead, Miss (Y/n)?" Kiku stopped before he cleared his throat and finally composed himself. "Can I ask you for a favour before I leave?" A chilly breeze that could send shivers down a dead man's back, somehow burnt Kiku's heart, wrenching it. The evening streetlights gradually turned on as darkness slowly touched every corner of the twilight sky. (Y/n)'s lips turned into a half-hearted smile. The inexperienced boy woke up from his array of thoughts and gave a small nod. "Are you hear to take me? Haven't I died?" Judging from his unworldly attire, he definitely was not a human, that she concluded. Kiku stared at her bewildered while (Y/n) looked him up and down curiouly. On hearing her name being called, the girl turned back and for the first time in his short career, Kiku saw a pair of such bright innocent eyes. Slowly approaching her, the newly-appointed Spirit Guide made sure not to startle her since new spirits tend to be in a state of ignorance of their own death. That's the spirit he needed to guide, (Y/n). When Kiku reached the scene of the accident, he found a lost girl wandering around the street. "What did you expect? Kiku, you should forget bringing the girl back to life," she said. Letting out a deep sigh, Mei looked at the boy. Finally, he shook his head and the girl widened her eyes, already knowing what the outcome would've been yet still hopeful of the situation this time. Kiku, with a solemn face, lowered his head in a crushing defeat. "What did the old hag say?" she insisted. One of the Spirit Guides named Mei rushed up from her seat and without any warning, pulled Kiku away with her till they reached the end of the corridor where not a soul was. But now I'm free," he replied, thinking best not to tell her. Looking at her like this, he nearly forgot about the disastrous encounter he faced a few minutes ago. Sliding the paper door all the way, Kiku watched with a smile as (Y/n) laughed and smiled with the female Spirit Guides of the department. Stopping in front of a paper door, Kiku called out. Had he known that the old lady would react like that, he would've sneaked (Y/n) out from here by himself. Walking through the narrow, dimly-lit corridor of the same building, Kiku exhaled a good amount of breath. Kiku stood up and with a quick bow, hurriedly left the room. Gushes of wind upheaveled the place, making all decors and artifacts fall down and breaking into millions of pieces. The walls shook as if an earthquake had struck. "I said.LEAAAAVEEE!!!" A thunderstorm emerged within the room. His throat dried on imagining what consequences his pleas would lead him to. "Please give her a chance to return back to her world and her family―"Ī loud thud from the other end caused by the old woman's sudden slamming of her fist onto the floor, made Kiku stop. The old woman rested her chin on her hand and rolled her eyes in annoyance. Her death was a tragic accident caused from saving a child's life from a car." "(Y-Y/n).she is a kind soul whom her current family needs more than the afterlife. The raven-haired boy lowered his head, till his head touched the floor. The sterness in her voice made a few antiques at her room shake, as if showing their concern for the poor Spirit Guide who dared to enrage their meticulous owner. You want her to return back to her own world, correct? Can you explain to me why?" The demon curtly smiled from the other end. "(Y-Y/n)," Kiku replied, his heart about to leap out of his chest. You want that girl.what was her name again.?" None of them can see each other's expressions but they could well identify one another's level of anxiousness and intrigue. The boss and subordinate sat on the exquisite cushions and the barren floor, respectively, with a paper screen barricaded between them. Kiku, on the other hand, was a freshly-promoted Spirit Guide, whose strength laid in his righteousness but weakness arose from his naevity. The boss, an aged fox demon, was disguised as a wrinkly old woman with a face that upheld the expression of knack for many things. The Spirit Guide, Kiku, and the boss of the Otherworld Transfer Department, sat in the latter's eloquently furnished room.
