CHAPTER 5

Later that night, Nino was still fuming about the young man's reaction to his efforts. Recalling again the man's timid attempt to introduce himself, he felt surprised by the warmth the memory seemed to spread inside his chest. Nino frowned, not wanting to deal with the possible meaning of that feeling, and walked furiously around the room. "If everything else fails, I can always lock him up in the hidden passage. I'm sure the darkness, the claustrophobia and being locked up without exit will make him more respectful!... He should start running for his life right now!"

Feeling a lot more focused, he decided that the best thing he could do was "rest" a bit. Not in vain, all that screaming and moving things had reduced his energies. Moreover, he needed to think up new tricks to use on that guy... who till the moment had proved to be a bit difficult to scare. "Well, it doesn't matter. I'll think of it as a challenge, so it'll become infinitely more rewarding when I finally succeed!" he thought with an evil smile.

The ghost lied down on his room's bed with a contented sigh. To tell the truth, lying down on a bed wasn't necessary for him, since he was a spirit without material body and couldn't feel if the bed was soft, hard or comfy... but he liked it anyway, to tell the truth it felt right.

He closed his eyes and let his mind drift reaching a mental state similar to a trance, where he was relatively unaware of his surroundings. He didn't know why, but the last thing that came to his mind before "sleeping" was the smile of the young man.

~~

Nino woke up from his "slumber" with the unnerving impression that something out of the ordinary was happening. He slowly opened his eyes... to find the delicate, smiling face, with puffy cheeks and pouty lips, of his new "house-mate" only a few centimetres away from his own face.

"EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!" in a reflex act, Nino abruptly moved backwards through the bedroom's wall.
"WHAT... what is happening here?" he stuttered utterly confused, with his eyes fixed on the corridor's wall wide open in surprise. "It can't be real..." he shook his head, "... I MUST have imagined THAT!".

Wanting to make sure that he was imagining things, the little ghost glimpsed inside the room popping his head through the wall. Surprisingly enough, the young man REALLY was sleeping peacefully in his bed. He was still facing the wall but now he was frowning slightly, as if something was disturbing his slumber. "What is this guy doing here?... and how has he managed to enter into my bedroom?" Nino crossed the wall and floated over the bed. "Perhaps I forgot to put he magical barrier blocking the door this time?" he inquired observing the intruder's back.

At that moment, the young man sighed softly and changed his posture on the bed, turning around to have his back towards the wall.  A few seconds later, he smoothed his frown and smiled a bit, showing a happy expression again. Nino stared at the intruder in stunned disbelief with his mind full of questions. "When I began to recharge my energy he CLEARLY wasn't here... and the bedroom where he slept last night is rather far away from this one."

The ghost moved away from the bed towards the door and discovered surprised that there wasn't any magical barrier blocking it. "Perhaps I forgot to put it last night..." he tried to convince himself, though he was almost positive that he had put it on the door before going to rest. When he turned around to watch the intruder again, he was shocked to find that the young man had changed his posture again into one that looked almost as if he was trying to reach for him.

"That's definitely weird... HE is definitely weird..." Nino slightly shivered averting his eyes from the intruder's pouting face. After some minutes pondering the situation, Nino decided to leave the bedroom to prepare his next prank... and think about the night's strange events far away from the confusing young man.

Ohno slowly woke up feeling the warmth of the sun beams on his face. With his eyes still closed, he stretched himself enjoying the relaxing feeling. He rubbed his eyes and looked around sleepily. All of sudden, he sat up and carefully inspected his surroundings with his eyes wide open in astonishment. He was in an unknown bedroom, decorated in yellow and orange shades and with a big, oak wardrobe. "I don't remember seeing this bedroom before when I first explored the house... perhaps it's the locked room?"

He got out the bed, put his slippers on and left the bedroom to check if it really was the room he had found locked the first night. "It's strange, I recall falling sleep in the blue bedroom... and now I'm in the locked one, which is situated far away from the other room. How did I end here?" he pondered walking through the corridor towards his bedroom. "Could it be the ghost's doing?" he pensively scratched his chin thinking about it.

He changed his clothes, and then went determined towards the kitchen in search of his breakfast. An hour later, with his stomach pleasantly full, he decided that he was going to spend that day looking for a room suitable to be his new studio.
