Kiiro Sakura, almost fourteen but was somehow bullied to the point of committing suicide.
Thanks to that I was summoned back, see Sakura and I are actually the same person. When my time to return to earth came I split my soul into two, now the other half has been swallowed by these crippling (when a person naturally feels a certain way for an abnormally long time those feelings end up manifesting a spirit form and will actively influence that person to their death like Sakura who has quiet a few).
I had 24 hours before I could lose my memories and completely become Sakura, but before that time approaches I must prepare a few things to ensure I do not end up like my weaker half.
Time left until memory loss-18hours. Current time 1600hrs
Wakes up, looks to the side and sees a familiar yet strange face.
‘’You look like a yakuza member from the eighties”
“Your tongue is as sharp as even Kisa-chan,” the guy with rocking the Elvis Presley haircut said as he chuckled in relief.
“And to what do I owe the pleasure O-kun?”
“You know that you can at least pretend to be happy to see your childhood friend”
“Is your princess not going to be pissed at you for coming to visit me?”
Onizuka threw himself back on his chair and with huge blush on his face said, “wha…what the hell are talking about!”
“If you have nothing better to do, then hurry up out of my house I have things to take care of”
Onizuka’s face went back to its originally terrifying expression and said, “You know that you will not make any friends with that attitude right?” Black got off the bed and walked past the boy and stopped at the door to look back at him.
“That’s right, I almost forgot that you are always around because you feel obligated”
“Obligated! I came here because I was worried about you can at least say thank you.”
“Thank you then. But I would have appreciated it better if you helped me when I needed you the most”
“There was nothing I could do, I’m a delinquent at school the teachers would have ignored me”
Black ignored and walked back into the room and started to undress. Onizuka tried his best to this but ended up failing and ran out the room. Black looked into the mirror to see how he looked in Sakura’s grandma clothes, and that is when the crippling showed themselves.

(Noderabou depression yokai according to google) Norabu showed himself behind Black, started rubbing on his shoulders and stuck out his tongue to lick his/her cheek.
“You look ridiculous. They will eat you alive, stay inside. Where we, ye we, will be free from their judging eyes,”
Black was completely terrified, not because of Norabu’s ugly appearance but because they were more of them. At this moment Black could only imagine how much they weighed down on Sakura after she was framed and suspended from school, he too would have took his life.
“Honey come down here and walk Oniuka, please. Thank you.”
Black ran from the mirror and went downstairs, but while halfway there,
“(In a calm sexy womanly voice) they think you are a fool, they just want to use you. Where do you think you are going it is not safe out there! (Frantic screaming) Not safe! Not safe I say (voice cracking down as if crying) stay inside please, we belong in the darkness.”
She had finally showed herself, crippling anxiety and this was only one of her many faces Anzy was her name and was the sole reason why Sakura had a sharp tongue.
Black closed his eyes and relying only on luck sped down the stairs.
“How cute you think you will be able to avoid me for much longer (taunting voice)”
Black looked to the kitchen and screamed yet again as he saw a snake spirit on top of Onizuka’s head, but he knew not to point this out for poor Mrs Kiira’s sake who almost lost her daughter.
Because nobody heard him scream Black slouched back on the last stair too calm down, while he was calming himself he thought fight. Fight I need to fight back, I cannot end the same way I will prevail. I will stand on top.
“Are you still walking me back?”
Black looked up at Onizuka, the yokai was still there but it seemed harmless because it was not yet influencing Onizuka’s behaviour. He reach for Onizuka,s hand to get up but pulled him down instead.
Awkward silence
“I want to lose weight” Black’s face turned red as he said this, he could not believe that he went from heaven’s most respected publisher to a girl with insecurities that talk back.
“I think you are fine the way you are.”
“I’m doing it for revenge.”
“Whoo, well that changes everything.”
“Will you help me?”
“Who do you think I am? Of cause I will.”
Lack hugged Onizuka in excitement and immediately realized that they were in an awkward position and quickly threw him away while screaming, “PERVERT”
“What did I do?”
“Do not say anymore, I might fall pregnant.”
“That is a bit much don’t you think.”
They continued to argue as they walked out of the house and then the yard, as they were walking they ran into a young girl crying by the road. She appeared to be an elementary scholar, she had one ponytail and blonde hair. She also had a dark shadow leaning over her, it did not appear to be a yokai but at the same time how would a kid this age get a crippling.
“Oy kid are you okay.”
The little girl cried harder after looking at Onizuka who really looked like a gangster. He jumped back and said “I did nothing I swear.”
“Are you okay?” Black repeated the question stroking the little girl on the back and ignoring the shadow which glared upon realizing that Black was able to see it.
Shook her head
“Well what’s wrong?”
“I can’t find my way home”
All the while Onizuka was shakking in the background, he was sensative about having a scary face.
"aw dont worry big sis Sakura will help you out"
"Really?"
"Yeah, you can count on me. Now wipe those tears and tell me your name."
