CHAPTER 8

"I can’t believe it! He was asleep! ASLEEP!" Nino knocked down furiously another table in his way out of the library. "What kind of person is he?! Is he even a human?!... because he doesn't behave like a normal one at all, that’s for sure!" he ferociously frowned. His rage grew even stronger when he remembered his concern about the intruder... and the young man's calm slumber in exchange for his worries, "For God’s sake! He was sleeping in that locked room like he didn’t have any worries in the world!"

He made some corridor's paintings fall with a satisfactory loud noise, "I can almost imagine what he was thinking,” and he sarcastically mimicked the young man blank expression “‘Ah! I've been locked inside a dark passage without exit... oh my god, what am I going to do now?... mmm... perhaps sleep?’" However, he was secretly relieved that the man was unharmed when he had found him, though he didn't want to recognize it even to himself.

Finally, when he was able to calm a bit his fury and his indignation, Nino decided to go to the library and release the intruder from the secret passage. "I’m still doubting if I should left him locked all the night or not! To tell the truth, the idea is really tempting." When he entered the library, he discovered surprised that the passage's door was already open. He looked into the passage and found it empty, "Darn! Where is he now?" The little ghost exited the library and began to search for the intruder.

When he was passing near the first floor's bathroom, he heard the sound of water running and someone whistling a happy tune. Nino frowned getting angry again with the intruder, "It’s obvious he doesn’t consider me a serious threat. I wonder if I have been too soft with him... Is leaving him locked in a dark room a "soft" threat?" he tilted his head pondering the idea and rubbed his chin. "Well, I don’t know and I don’t care. I’m going to end things here and now!” he raised his fist with renovated energies.

The little ghost walked through the wall and found himself in a bathroom covered by a tick steam cloud, "Damn it! I can't see anything inside all this steam... Aha! There he is!" He fathomed the intruder's figure in the shower and began to approach him slowly and menacingly, with an evil smile plastered in his face and his arms outstretched in front of him as if he was going to strangle the young man. “You’re going to know how much of a treat I can be!! Mwahahaha!” Suddenly, the fog became a bit clearer and Nino got a clear view of the intruder. The young man was facing the wall with his head under the hot water… and obviously he was completely naked.

When the ghost looked at the slightly tanned intruder's body under the hot water, an unexpected burning feeling spread throughout his entire body and he suffered a sudden dizziness. Although the intruder didn't seem to do a lot of sport, he had a well-toned body with firm muscles that undulated under the wet skin when the young man began to soap his hair. Nino felt his eyes bulge and his jaw drop making him look like a fish out of the water. Without even notice it, his arms fell limp at his sides.

The stunned ghost admired the young man's slender body from head to toes and finally fixed his gaze in the intruder’s butt. Nino swallowed hard and slowly began to move towards his new found target with a hand unconsciously extended, all thoughts about scaring the persistent intruder already forgotten.

Suddenly, the young man turned around with his eyes strongly closed and his hands still in his soaped hair.
"Is someone there?" he asked as if he had felt the near threat.
Nino took one step back, startled by the sudden movement, and quickly led his gaze to the intruder's inquiring face. At that moment, a few drops of water fell from the young man’s round face and began to slide down his chest. Nino‘s eyes were immediately attracted to them. His gaze followed them as they slowly run over the intruder’s abs. As the drops slid even lower, Nino’s eyes glazed over and he almost felt like it was a struggle to breathe, even as he knew he didn't really need to do it being a ghost.
"Hello?" the young man repeated trying to clean the soap from his eyes. Ohno’s voice snapped Nino out of his trance and he felt utterly mortified when he realised what he had been doing. With his cheeks burning with embarrassment he decided that he couldn't take it anymore and hastily disappeared through the bathroom's floor just a second before the young man opened his eyes.

Some minutes later, Nino was hidden in a remote bedroom, trying to calm himself. "What's this feeling?" he touched his face and felt his skin hot, though he knew that the sensation was just a remnant from his past life as human. "Have I felt something similar before?" he pondered and desperately tried to recall having a similar sensation during his 'life' as a ghost. "No, I’m sure it’s the first time… Maybe… when I was alive?..." frowning with doubt he made a great effort to remember anything from the time when he was still alive but, like every time he had tried to remember his past, he couldn't recall anything, even his death. He knew he had been human before becoming a ghost, but apart from that … nothing. Therefore, the little ghost was a bit freaked out by the current situation... in reality, more than a bit.

He vehemently shook his head trying to clear his thoughts and rubbed furiously his eyes to remove the scene of the shower from them... but all his attempts were futile… The image seemed to be fire-engraved in his mind. "What was I doing?... What was I thinking?! ... I should be trying to scare him, not ogling him!" he muttered bitterly.
He decided that the best course of action would be to “sleep” for a while. Maybe that way he could convince himself that all had been some kind of odd dream… maybe.

Three hours later, he woke up startled noticing the intruder's presence again by his side. "What… Again! Why is he able to find me wherever I sleep?... In the shower it looked as if he was able to notice me in some way... Is that true? Can he feel my presence?" Wanting to verify his idea, the little ghost floated over the bed waiting a few minutes in each side, and every time the young man changed his position on the bed to face him.

"So he CAN notice me! It wasn't my imagination!. And his ability must be stronger when he's asleep because he seems to be able to find me in any place of the house," the little ghost checked the barrier he had put before sleep and couldn't find it. "He is really weird... and powerful too!. He's the first human who is capable to break down my magical barrier...Who are you exactly?" Nino frowned with his mind full of questions.

The ghost observed the intruder carefully for the first time, decided to find a clue that could explain his strange powers… but after a few minutes of intense contemplation he felt irremediably enticed by the young man's face and forgot his initial purpose. The intruder had delicate, almond-shaped eyes, puffy and soft-looking cheeks and pouty, sultry lips forming a little smile. Feeling an overwhelming necessity to touch that gentle face, the little ghost hesitantly extended his hand and slowly passed his fingers over the intruder's lips, caressing them lightly. He felt slightly disappointed, though not really surprised, when he couldn't felt their softness. "Am I stupid? Why do I care!? As if I didn't know that being a ghost I can't really feel anything even if I try to touch it!" he angrily reprimanded himself.

"Well, I was here first and this time he isn't going to throw me out the room!" he lied down on the bed and turned his back to the young man, completely decided to ignore him. Purposely, he began to check all the tricks and pranks that he had used with previous intruders and just when he was about to fell asleep, he remembered a particular trick that he hadn't used with this intruder yet.
"Possession..." he murmured.
