"Damn this place," I muttered as I lay on my back, observing the stars through my broken roof and dangling a small windchime over my head. Dozens more hung all over the small room that I callled a house.
My roof used to be whole and my home used to be nicer, but then something happened in the human world and the whole place crumbled.
"Humans," I scoffed and laughed. Such fascinating and ignorant creatures!
Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shadow, rolling through my window like some drunken man.
I sighed, "What?"
I heard a faint, "Deserted Hotel. Go." inside my head. I couldn't quite manipulate shadows yet but I could communicate a little.
Shaking my head, I slipped off my ratty bed and stood unsteadily on my feet.
Then I walked out into the world outside, to the hotel.
I saw others walking that way too but kept my distance. Unnecessary conflict was something to be avoided. I reached into my pocket and pulled out an apple to munch on.
When I got inside the hotel, I noticed most waiting for the elevator, so naturally I took the stairs all the way to the top.
"I hate stairs," I grumbled as I started up.
True, I hated work but taking the stairs sounded better than the possible fight with the others in the elevator. In a way, it would be less work.
Then a boy fell in a heap before me. A human boy with blonde hair dressed in a long sleeved black and white shirt, black jeans, black knit hat, and black scarf.

"Hey! Oshiro!" called someone, but when I turned to see them, someone else tripped me, sending me sprawling on the sidewalk.
I heard voices laughing, but I simply picked myself up and kept walking. I was used to it.
"You know, if you lost the hat and scarf, they might go easier on you," commented a voice next to me, "And cut your hair!"
Lowering my head a bit more and pulling my hat further down, I replied, "I don't care what they think, Kouji."
"Aren't you sick of them tormenting you?" he asked in disbelief.
I shook my head, "It doesn't bother me that much."
My friend shook his head in disbelief and sighed, "At least cut your hair?"
I was about to answer when another voice came out of no where, "Yes! Come on, Izou! I wanna see you with shorter hair!"
Turning to my other side to face a girl with long golden hair, I answered, "I'm not cutting my hair, Akemi."
These two were odd. They had remained my friends through all my weirdness.
"Oh! But I bet you'd be cute!" she cried and then reached over to sweep my bangs to the side.
"Hey, Akemi!" I cried, startled.
She and Kouji stared at me until I pushed my hair back and pulled my hat lower.
"Izou! You're so cute!" cried Akemi as she shook my shoulders.
"Um, not really," I told her uncomfortably.
"Yes you are! Kouji, don't you agree?" she asked while still staring me in the eyes. When he didn't reply, she asked again, "Kouji?"
We both turned to see him staring at the old abandoned mansion.
"There's soemthing weird about this place today," he stated as he walked towards the door.
"Kouji!" called Akemi as she raced towards him, "What are you doing?!"
i followed as Kouji led us blindly into the house.
We had never been inside before althogh we walked by it everyday.
The inside was creepier than the outside and it reminded me of those cheap haunted houses at fairs.
Kouji went off in one direction with Akemi clinging to his arm. She cried the whole time, "We shouldn't be in here!"
"Izou," I heard a faint whisper.
"did you call me?" I asked but neither Akemi or Kouji answered.
"Izou!" came another whisper, more urgent this time.
Going against my gut, I followed the sound to a half open door.
I peered inside to see steps that led down, probably to a basement.
"Hello?" I called as I opened the door wider.
"Hello there?" I called again and took a step forward.
Instead of my foot meeting the step I had expected, it kept going and I fell into a nothingness.
I fell for quite some time then collapsed in a heap before a ginger boy who was munching on an apple with a windchime dangling from his finger.
He stared at me for a little then laughed in a crazed way.
"A human! you're a human!" he laughed and pointed, then stopped abruptly and looked around him.
"And you aren't?" I asked but he put a finger to his lips and grabbed my arm.
He then pulled me up to the next landing and onto that floor. We seemed to be in a destroyed hotel.
Pushing me against the wall, he hissed, "You're not mine. I know that. And I have a...fascination, if you will, with humans, so I won't sell you out. Find an empty room and hide there."
With that, he lept back to the stairwell and continued on. How odd.
i didn't really understand but I decided to take his advice and went into an empty room where I hid beneath a bed.
