Hello, I'm Kurai.
These past few days, I've gotten over my sadness about her dying soon, I shouldn't dwell on it much, it still hurts tho, but I made my current father help me out with learning days, weeks and more, I need to keep track of time if I'm figuring out how much time she has left.
Anyways, this morning, me and Aiko were talking as usual, randomly, the topic of boys came up, it was mostly slander, since I'm not a fan of boys, and so was Aiko, or so I thought.
In the middle of our conversation, Ryota came in and interrupted us.
-Well hello Kurai, hello Aiko.
-What do you want Ryota?
-What's wrong, my Kurai...
-Don't call me that! you are not allowed to call me that!
-Woah, calm down girly, you really have a problem with me, ever since you transfered, you would not acknowledge me once.
-Why do you think you deserve my attention?
-Well, usually, no other boy would give you a spec of interest like me, but since I'm kind, I decided to be your friend, humble yourself.
-As if, no one asked you to be my friend, right Aiko?
When I turned to Aiko, she was smiling at him with a slight blush on her cheeks, I can't believe my adorable Aiko goes through stupid teenage feelings and thoughts as well, I didn't want to ruin her moment, so I turned to Ryota.
-The only way to by my friend is to be Aiko's friend.
-That's not a problem I suppose.
-But if you hurt Aiko, I'm turning you into paste.
-That's a sight to behold, see you at lunch.
He walked away with that stupid smirk on his face, his head is too high for his own good, my biggest fear is that he picked up on Aiko's subtle body language and is using her to bother me, anyways, I grabbed Aiko's pen to write the lesson on her notebook, and I felt my brain about to explode, all her thoughts came rushing in, they are loud and unorganized, she is thinking about Ryota, complimenting everything about him, it's stupid, but got to give it to her for being able to find compliments for someone as bad as him.
At lunch, we sat with him, he kept talking to Aiko, but well, I refused to acknowledge him, he kept calling out my name, he tried to call me "his Kurai" or something, but it just pisses me off so I shut him up before he can finish his sentence.
Well, Aiko was called in 6th period to go home, and as usual, I just have to leave in spirit form and let another spirit borrow my body, I've gotten close to that spirit that possessed me the first time, he was from the many spirits that forgot their names and origin, so, I named him Renji, he is chill and all, he gets me straight A's and a B in PE since I'm lazy and he is not energetic.
But today something was odd, Renji refused to take over, he is a straight man by all means, but apparently, when I leave with Aiko, he sits next to my body and flirts with me, probably trying to get me to say something stupid, Renji said he'd rather watch over Aiko instead, but I refused, I won'tlet a man, alive or dead, see her in a vulnerable state in the comfort of her home.
I'm quite lost, so I don't really know what to do, I am Aiko's guardian spirit, I need to watch her, but also I don't feel like forcing Renji to do anything, although I also fuel on spirit's despair, might be relaxing to recharge a bit, but not today, he is a good guy.
At first, I thought it was an issue, but then I remembered, I'm a dragon with a shaman bloodline, I am powerful as hell, I have a unique ability, selective deafness, it's supposed to be a curse, but it can be of use, I'll just put a curse on this body, to never hear the voice of malice, and Ryota is for sure malicious, so I probably won't hear him.
I entrusted Renji with my body before rushing after Aiko, I almost missed her getting in the car, and of course, when I'm near her, my spirit is in dragon form.
I don't fully admit to being a dragon because of my mother being a shaman, usually, dragon genes in the first born are almost guaranteed to pass on fully without any other genes, like cloning oneself, however, somehow, my mother's spirit was infused with the black dragon equally to make me, so I'm more powerful than the black dragon since I have all his powers and all the shaman spiritual powers.
Anyways, the ride was uncomfortable since the fated spirit was no longer cowering from me, he is sitting next to me as I clung onto her, but I figured out that we have something mutual, our hatred for Aiko's type in the male gender.
We kept slandering Ryota the whole ride, it was so relatable I almost forgot I'm chatting with my enemy, so, we are on good terms, so I guess.
When we went to Aiko's room, apparently, she had a secret pocket in her wheelchair, it held a digital camera, I looked at the screen with the fated spirit, she was taking some sloppy discreet photos of Ryota.
I can understand her feeling, she wants to engrave him in her memory and soul, I myself used to paint Qinglan when he was asleep during our engagement, I didn't tell him of course, it would be too awkward, he found the stash of paintings after I died, so secrets come out even if you aren't alive to expose them, but out of all people, why Ryota!? there are much better options, even necrophilia would be more logical than this, Ryota is dumb, rude, arrogant and a fascist, the only redeeming quality he has is his appearance.
He is trying so hard to have a goth style, but all black clothes and a white foundation with his blonde hair just looks weird, I'd rather wear a tuna can on my head and run nude in the streets.
But maybe it's because Ryota isn't an ablest (surprisingly), I am not an ablest, so if I became a dude she would fall for me? but also I don't blame her, physically challenged people aren't socially normal, they are the same as everyone else, but humans hate the unusual, no matter how kind they are, they will never fully acknowledge the disabled until they have a related situation, so these challenged people jump at anyone who is willing to acknowledge them as a normal human being.
Ryota is a lot of things, but a discriminator ain't one of them, the reason he is even trying to pick on me is because he likes pranks, he does it to everyone, I guess if you don't single out someone, no one will think you are discriminating them since you hate everyone equally.
When Aiko fell asleep, I grabbed the camera and deleted the photos, I don't care if he was her soulmate and the only man she can love, she needs something better, and a better camera since this has to moving object focus mode, you can only see more of a color palette than an actual person.
Also, remember the spell I put on my body this morning? it said to not hear the voice of malice, well, this evening, I called the black dragon to check up on Gina, and I couldn't hear a single word he said, well, I guess he is still up to some weird stuff.
At least I got to relax talking to Gina without his lousy voice,
