Ohno's diary

8th July:
Today has been a very special day. This morning, when I was decorating my latest resin figurine, I suddenly felt very strange and awfully dizzy. I think I probably fell unconscious to the floor because the next thing I knew was that I was laying near my work desk. And the oddest thing was that when I woke up and opened my eyes, I saw him: small, thin, with dark hair and furtive eyes. I greeted him and he seemed to be extremely surprised when he realized that I could see him. I must say that his shocked expression was quite endearing… and his stunned face when we both felt that strange tinkling sensation while shaking hands was even cuter. I was really curious and wanted to know more about him (after all it doesn’t happen everyday that you are able to see the ghost that live in your house) but he could only gave me his name: Ninomiya Kazunari. He is sure that he had been a human before his death, but he doesn’t remember anything of his past life.

14th July:
Ninomiya or Nino, like he likes to be called, is still mystified by the fact that I'm able to see him. He has told me about his 'Last Chance To Scare The Intruder (that's me)' and the strange effects that his trick has had. It seems that he had used this trick on other intruders before, but never with this result. He keeps touching my face or my hands with light shy touches and, every time, his eyes widen with surprise when both felt that warm sensation.

16th July:
Today I have woken up with Nino sleeping beside me. I was surprised but he has told me that this has happened a few times already, and usually it's me who sleep-walk to the room where he is resting. I remember having woken up in other rooms instead of mine before, so perhaps this is the reason... well, I don't really mind waking up with him by my side.

4th August:
Nino has become really friendly now and insists in calling me Oh-chan. He usually spends his time chatting or playing with me, and when I'm working in my studio, he lets me concentrate in my art and keeps me company. Moreover, now that he has gotten used to interact with me, he has shown his mischievous side again: he enjoys playing jokes on me and likes to touch my butt by surprise. I think he thinks of it as a game or perhaps he has some kind of obsession with it... and he blatantly ignores me when I ask him to stop!... Well, to tell the truth it’s not like I really mind, the sensation isn't unpleasant and I like his impish smile and his happy (but evil) laugh when he succeeds in pranking me.

~~

Ohno woke up feeling refreshed and stretched his arms lazily. When he slowly opened his eyes, he found the little ghost sleeping beside him. Ohno smiled drowsily. He had gotten used to the ghost's presence and didn't question anymore why he was there or who had moved in the night to sleep beside the other one.
He took the chance to observe the ghost's face carefully. He had delicate features, pale skin - well, he was dead after all -, long and black eyelashes and soft lips. Ohno slowly extended a hand towards Nino and gently caressed his cheek, smiling widely when the asleep ghost leaned a bit on his touch like a contented cat.

Some minutes later, Nino slowly opened his eyes to find Ohno smiling and looking at him with his head resting on his left hand.
"Good morning!" the young man greeted him.
"Hmmm?"
"Go-oood... moor-niiiing!" Ohno hummed merrily and poked the ghost playfully.
Nino laughed happily and hastily floated far away from Ohno's reach. Ohno scrunched his face to show his discontent, glared at the laughing ghost and finally stuck out his tongue at him.

~~

Nino stealthily popped his head in Ohno's studio trying to avoid being detected. He smiled evilly when he saw the young man intensely focused in his painting. Those were the best moments to attack him.

Since the day of the possession trick, the young man had become more and more skilful in detecting him. Likewise, his latent powers seemed to have intensified greatly too.

Nino recalled the conversation they had had that eventful day about Ohno's latent powers:
"Perhaps it's something related with my ancestors being priests in the past," Ohno had mumbled thoughtfully.
"Priests? What kind of priests?" the ghost had asked with curiosity.
"I'm not really sure, but once my mother told me about it. She said that our family came from a powerful and famous lineage of priests. In the past, some of them were responsible for the spiritual welfare of the Emperor and his family, and they made significant exorcism ceremonies related to evil spirits endangering them. Others were clairvoyant and were able to see the future. They gave advice to the Emperor in important country related matters."
"THAT must be the reason I couldn’t scare you!" had exclaimed the ghost excitedly.
"But that happened centuries ago... and my mother didn't tell me anything about my family having powers nowadays..." the young man had said insecure.
The little ghost had dismissed his weak protests and doubts. After all, he was an experienced ghost with years of success backing him… It was obvious that the problem behind the failure of his tricks must have been in the other person, wasn’t it?

Returning to the present moment, Nino fixed his gaze in Ohno with the intensity of a predator. He slowly approached him through the floor, with only the top of his head visible. Strangely enough, the menacing tune of a shark’s movie he had seen years ago, keep sounding inside his head.
Ohno, completely engrossed in his painting, didn't seem to notice him. Nino's smile widened broadly resembling that movie's shark grin.

Suddenly, Ohno turned around with his eyes full of suspicion, but it was too late: Nino's hand had reached his butt and was groping it enthusiastically.
"Nino!" the young man protested loudly.
The little ghost laughed evilly, delighted with his success, and left the room with the young man's disapproving gaze fixed on him.

~~

That day, Nino had convinced Ohno that it would be much more enjoyable to spend the afternoon watching an old horror film with him, than working in his latest painting. That type of films was quite boring in Ohno’s opinion, but Nino seemed to enjoy them a lot. They were gathering the things in the living room - a beer and some snacks to keep Ohno awake at least till the hero’s blonde brainless girlfriend was kidnapped by the monster - when the doorbell rang.

“Who could it be at these hours?” Nino asked a bit surprised.
“No idea. I wasn’t expecting anybody,” Ohno hurried towards the hall when he heard the doorbell ringing again.

"Good afternoon," Ohno greeted the old man dressed in a black robe that was in front of his door.
"Good afternoon. I'm the village's priest. I'd like to ask you some questions if you don’t mind."
"Ehh... all right. Please come in."
Ohno let the priest enter in the house and led him to the living room where Nino was waiting with an expression of curiosity in his face.

"Well, I'd like to ask you if you have had some kind of problem settling in our village," the priest asked with a face slightly troubled.
"No, everybody has been really kind and helpful with me since my arrival," Ohno answered offering a glass of water to the priest.
"Thanks. I'm glad to know it... and did you have any other kind of problems?" he looked furtively around him with a hint of  apprehension in his gaze.
"Other kind of problems?" Ohno looked at the man with a puzzled expression.

Nino, bored and slightly annoyed by the priest’s interruption, chose that moment to make an experiment. He had been wondering if the strange sensation he felt whenever he touched Ohno, would happen too if he touched other people.
He slowly approached the old man and tentatively touched his arm but he didn't feel anything. A bit worried, he hastily extended his hand towards Ohno's and smiled relieved when he felt again that warm sensation, "So, it only happens with Oh-chan?"

The conversation kept flowing with the priest's vague questions about the possible existence of vengeful ghosts in the house, and Ohno's answers reassuring him that he hadn't had any problems.

"Well, that's because you has never gotten scared by my pranks not because I haven't tried," Nino thought a bit bothered. Suddenly, an idea popped in his head and he smiled mischievously.

He situated himself behind the priest and began to make funny and mocking faces at Ohno, who looked at him for a few seconds with a bright glint in his eyes but didn't change his expression at all. The little ghost frowned and decided to play more seriously.
With an impish smirk plastered on his face, he menacingly approached Ohno. He blatantly ignored the warning glare the young man gave him, and began to molest him quite enthusiastically. Ohno squirmed slightly but didn't make any other sign of discomfort in front of the priest. Nino's smile widened mockingly and groped Ohno’s butt again.

Some minutes later, the conversation with the priest finished - speeded up by an uncomfortable Ohno - and the old man left the house.
Ohno hastily turned around to look angrily at Nino. The little ghost was laughing so hard that he seemed to have problems to even float in the air.
"Nino! Don't you ever do that again!"
The little ghost could only laugh louder in front of Ohno's furious pout and his adorable frown.

When Ohno finally forgave Nino, who was still chuckling secretly to himself, they sat in front of the TV to watch the promised movie.
Suddenly, the telephone rang.
