Homesick symptoms.

I stood there glaring at him as he walked away. My mind fixated on a certain thought. The monster who attacked Suzame's family is in our community and high on ranking as well. Wears a blue…

"Blue? Blue? Blue?...Blue? I kept stuttering the words as I remembered a member of Yumeko's men on a blue cover all. It was none other than him.

"So Suzame, you are saying that the ghoul who murdered your family is Blue bird".

I gasped as my eyes wandered what his Kagune will be like. I have never seen him fight, he was always with Yumeko. They spend more time together as though he was her husband or something. I sighed and turned my back to leave, then stepped on something in the sand. I scratched my fingers against it, clearing the sand away. It was a phone, perhaps Suzame's. I wanted to hand it back but I had other ideas, plus, Suzame was out of reach.

I put it back in my pocket as I felt with this I could call my family, check on them and be more connected. First I would need to unlock it, then come up with a good excuse for being away. I sighed one of relief and heard rustling, footsteps and figures in the smoky cloud.

"Rin?! I called out and heard nothing back. I hurriedly hid the phone unto my cloth, after deactivating the sound system.

"What the hell happened here? Rin muttered and I looked at him. Looking around to see the bizarre destruction our fight had cost.

"lets go…now! Rin ordered and I got up immediately. We both made it out the building, meeting Glenn at the left alley. From there, we dashed back home to the mansion outside Shibuya.

After a report review to Yumeko who was excited that I was actually starting to leave it up, we made our way back to our various rooms. I laid on the bed tired and glaring at the ceiling fan.

The room was quite fancy, filled with classic furniture's and big bed. I laid there tossing and turning as the god of sleep refused to visit me. I sucked my teeth in frustration and got up to my side drawer. I pulled it out and there it was, Suzame's phone. I picked it up and attempted to unlock the phone. The password was a four key passcode, that even my brain couldn't think of. I itched my head a bit and perhaps thought it was wrong of me to bring it.

I hissed and attempted to drop the phone back but paused. I drew it back out and glared at the wallpaper. It had a picture of a manga character, a demon lord to be precise. I knew him, he was like a terror in the city, funny yet dangerous, a complete character. I scoffed as I remembered my manga reading days and let out a sigh of relief.

I suddenly heard a footstep approaching and dunked underneath the bed sheets, sticking the phone underneath my pillow. The door creaked open and my heart race, when from the rear view of the mirror, I saw Yumeko standing. She wandered into the room and glaced around it. Sniffed her nose and stood staring at her beautiful reflection in the mirror. She then smirked warmly, looking at me.

"you should have offed the light, Ichigo". She muttered and sighed. She then moved and turned off the light.

"Hey, Ichigo are you sleeping already? She asked but I didn't respond. I kept my eyes shot and suddenly fake a snore to have her leave the room.

"You're fast asleep huh? Well if can't hear…then…" I didn'thear any other voice but felt her breath against my face. My heart skipped a beat and could hear it beat out my chest. I wanted to push back immediately but it was too late, I also didn't want to blow my own cover.

"you did well today, Ichigo. Am proud to be your wife". She muttered and looked at me. I was still faking a sleep, I felt a brush of her lips against my cheeks and heard the door creak again.

"good night, Ichigo". She muttered and I heard the door slammed behind her. I opened my eyes and exhaled heavily, imagine if she actually caught me with a phone. I would be toasted, killed maybe. Despite her love for me, which I high doubt. I am only here because I certainly don't have any where to go and a fight with other ghoul communities, might as well kill me.

I rested my back against the bedroom and lifted the pillow to figure out that phone was already unlocked. I gasped as I wandered how and what the password was. Perhaps, the fact I had my head pressing the pillow, must have pressed a few keys to unlock it. But what keys exactly, I groaned and figured as best use this opportunity to change the password.

I located setting in the device and changed the passcode to something I can relate with. I decided to instead of calling my mother or home, I best text Eugene. She usually spend most time on social media, like instagram and tik tok. So it's best I create an account and chat her up. I glanced around the phone, to locate instagram and divided into it. Apparently, he already had an account there, so I thought it's best to use Suzame's name and chat her up.

I heard the searched around the web and her username popped out. "EugeneIchi01". I smirked as I remembered her calling me "ichi". I hesitated a bit but finally texted her, as I took my time stalking her Instagram account. Viewing her pictures, videos and followers. It felt a bit creepy but I didn't care less of it, among one of her posts was my picture.

"Come back, big brother". Was the caption and my photo was there, it was clear to me now. They all think I went missing.

I let out a soft moaning and felt my eyes watery again. I cried that night, so harder that I felt my eyes would fall off.
