Third person POV
Later, while walking home, Hoshi asked Saki where her house was.
"It's just 2 blocks from our school," she replied.
"Wow, a bit closer than ours," Bokuto responded back. "Mine is an entire compound."
Saki was very stunned to hear that. "What? Is your family rich or something?"
"No, it's a ninja clan, Saki-chan?"
"Oh, so you're a ninja, right?"
"Yes, I am."
"He's shy though," Hoshi responded, "and was reclusive."
Bokuto admits it rather than denying it.
But then, before crossing an intersection, they saw an entity behind a city bus. That entity was almost like a façade or a shadow.
"Guys, what is that?" Hoshi asked his friends.
"It must be just a shadow," Bokuto responded.
But then, the entity grinned at them with an evil smile, sending shivers down the three youngsters' spines.
And then, the bus moved, prompting the entity to grab on the back of it and leave.
Alerted by it, the three youngsters tried to chase it, but to no avail due to the bus's speed.
Eventually, they give it up and resume walking home while wondering in their minds who or what was that entity who grinned at them moments ago. They had no idea what it was. But, only Sha knows that.
