"By The Way"
Chapter 1 of Part 2


When Yuske came back to school, everyone reacted like he was some kind of
monster. But you couldn't blame them. He did use to be dead.
"Yuske! How did you come back? Who kissed you?"
Keiko asked him. Before he could answer, I broke in.
"His mother. I walked in as he was waking up. He sure was lucky."
I smiled nervously. Keiko believed me.

After school, I finally got Yuske alone.
"Now, tell me straight! Did you see me do anything the day of the fire? And
don't play dumb either! I saw you in the corner of the room near the ceiling."
I demanded of him. He was quiet for a moment. But before he could answer. Some
woman came up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. She had blue hair and
was wearing a school uniform.
"Yuske, I need to talk to you! It's urgent!"
She said. I stepped forward.
"I need to talk to him right now, so wait."
I said flatly. She backed off.
"Answer me, Yuske. Did you or did you not see me doing anything the day of
the fire?"
He crossed his arms and gritted his teeth.
"I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT! BUT JUST DON'T DO IT
AGAIN!"
He yelled, while blushing. I was a bit taken a back by his tone. The woman behind
Yuske came in front of him and smiled at me.
"So you're the girl! That was a sweet thing you did for Yuske!"
I blinked.
"You- you mean you- saw too?"
"Yup! Oh my! Forgive me, how rude! My name is Botan!"
She said cheerfully.
"I'm Patches."
"What an interesting name."
"Enough! What did you want to tell me that was so important?"
Yuske broke in. Botan looked back and smiled at Yuske.
"Oh yes! That!"
She glanced back at me, and then shrugged.
"Hmmm… why not? We could use extra help."
I gave a confused look. Botan moved Yuske next to me and clapped her hands
together. The she began to prompt us on some kind of mission that had to do with an
old psychic named Genkai.
"So let me get this straight… Yuske and I are going to go make sure a thing
named Rando doesn't get her powers?"
"That's pretty much it in a nutshell."
Botan said.
"Alright, I'll do it."
"Great! How about you Yuske?"
He was quiet for a minute.
"I don't know... I got a three day weekend."
"YOU'RE CONSIDERING CHOOSING VACATION OVER
MANKIND?!"
Botan yelled at him.
"WELL THEY'RE EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO ME, OK?"
Yuske yelled back. Botan frowned, then got a sneaky smile on her face.
"Well, if you do decide to take this case… there is a special bonus if you
succeed."
"What kind of bonus?"
Botan then held up a ticket of some kind.
"A front row ticket to the main event fight at Tokyo Dome!"
She said triumphantly. Yuske immediately got really excited.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's get going!"
He shouted happily.
