I walked into the fancy hotel. Everything inside was glass and silver decorations filled the lobby. I looked around at the other souls and watched their jaws slowly extend at the beauty in front of them, when suddenly a butler walked up to us – ah, no – me.

"Welcome home master," he spoke with a deep bellowing voice and bowed handing me some clothing.

"Master?" I heard Kyungsoo speak in an invidious voice.

"Yeah, I lived here when I was a kid." I said, trying to sound natural with my words.

"Ah~ that's right." Kyungsoo said adding some attitude to his words.

"Lover's quarrel I see." The maid snickered while still in a 90 degree bow. "No need to worry now, I'm a personal butler, or should I say, nanny?" 

"You can rise, and stop faking it; you're making me seem like a bad guy. Introduce yourself properly." I said smacking his back, "and I hate your style, I don't need clothes from your eyes."

The butler stood and smiled at the souls. His face was in perfect proportions with flawless skin. His eyelids folded perfectly over his eyes creating a galaxy in the iris.  Colors blazed and spiraled in the cornea. A cool dark aura passed his face creating a slight cloud around him. His hair swished just right over his eyebrows leaving the beautiful eyes showing. The jet black hair shines with all of the silver around us.

"Hello, I am East, Keeper of the gates. Let me just say..." he paused and looked around, "I am stronger than him." He pointed at South and gave a dark crooked smile.

"Ah~ don't get on his bad side, It takes several centuries to regain his trust." South said, "I've had experience." His voice was a lot calmer and nicer when talking to East, and didn't seem like the same loud gossip filled person.

"You're doing it now aren't you?" I asked, getting a slight chill wherever my body made contact with him.

"Observant as always, well then, let us disappear together. Kyungsoo, don't worry," East patted my back with his iced hands, "Jongin here loves you very much. He won't even let me, someone stronger than him, touch you." Ease smiled and we disappeared.

We stood by the riverbank under the starlight. Now it was really noticeable that East was transparent. "Essem isn't getting any stronger, but you aren't either." East said, "Have you any clue where your stone is?"

"No, but have you found Earth?" I asked furiously, "I told him I know exactly where it was and we'd go get it tomorrow morning."

"I never taught you that." Darkness spread across his face. East wasn't what you'd call a heartwarming person. He had the power to be in multiple places at the same time, as a ghost. He also was the only immortal with a second dominant power: memory. His ghost self was always dressed differently and a lot more cheerful than the original East himself. East was one of dark feelings and never showed his real self to anyone.

"Sorry." I said bowing my head.

"The stone is in your hotel room. Just go somewhere random and say you found it." East said. Moonlight sprinkled across the phantom.

"Where?" I asked.

"School." East replied. In a flash a set of clothing appeared in his hands. I took the uniform and looked at the emblem: Azabu High School for Boys.

"This, It's one of the most prestigious schools in Japan!" I said overwhelmed.

"Yeah, I'm admitting 6 of you in. You, Zitao, Kyungsoo, Sehun, Jongdae, and Baekhyun." East glowed in the reflection of the water, "You will all be admitted to the same class as the same age of 16. There will be uniforms in your rooms when you get there. I'll drop them off."

"How will we get there?"

"I'll pick you guys up tomorrow morning. I'll have everything prepared, just bring yourselves." East said then disappeared. I did the same and reappeared in our hotel room.

"Where have you been?!" Kyungsoo shouted with worry and anger.

"We're going to school tomorrow. Just half of us." I said trying my best to sound cool and ignore his worry.

"The clothes are in the bathroom. Your stone, it's at one of the most prestigious high schools of Japan." I said putting my hand into my pockets. I felt an angled object in my pocket. The stone. How did East manage everything so smoothly behind the façade he shows everyone?

"I'll shower first," I spoke starting to unbutton my shirt and walk into the bathroom. Kyungsoo started holding his foot in great pain. "What's wrong?"

"Energy surge." Kyungsoo said. I felt my pocket, the stone had heated up.

"Use your power somehow." I said in panic and took my hands off of the stone. I backed away in fear that being close to the owner it might give him too much power.

Suddenly outside the window trees and grass patches were floating around the city. I ran to the windows to see that all of the people were frozen, not in shock, but time had froze. Zitao was always good with timing.

Kyungsoo fell over and I went to catch him. "I'll call Yixing over," I said putting him on the bed. I rolled up his pants and cuffed the ends. The tattoo on his ankle was glowing bright blue. I disappeared and reappeared with Yixing. He quickly started healing. I backed away from Kyungsoo still in alarm from the stone in my pocket. I moved the stone from my pants to my school bag. Zitao slammed the door open with Yifan right behind him.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SHOWER! YOU KNOW HOW CREEPY IT IS FOR ME TO SHOWER AND YOU DARE PULL A STUNT LIKE THAT?!" Zitao screamed, his hair was still bright red. A white towel was strapped tightly around his waist. Yifan was panting behind him with only a towel on his hips. "I finally made Kris decide and you made me use my powers!" He shouted without opening his eyes to see the scene.

"Tao," Yifan said, trying to calm him down, "open your eyes."

"His stone it near." Yixing said, turning around to face to door. Silence filled the room.

"I know where it is, it's in the school. We're going to school tomorrow. I forgot to say." I murmured.

"What?" Yifan questioned, "is that why we were told to bring a uniform."

"Ah~ East brought us clothes." I said.

"But there was only one set in our room." Tao said.

"Only half of us are going." I started, "Zitao, Kyungsoo, Sehun, Jongdae, Baekhyun, and I are going."

"What?" Yixing and Yifan said in sync.

"East said to." I said.

"So you listen to East, but no one else? He looks like a young child, with his colorful 'butler clothing'. How do you trust him?" Yifan spoke, his voice reaching its peak.

"STOP JUDGING HIM!" I shouted.

"What's with all the noise?" Luhan and Sehun entered the room.

I picked up my bag and disappeared. I've had enough of this damn life. Never had I gone through this many feelings. I reappeared at the same location where East had brought me. Across the lake was a silhouette. A very familiar silhouette. Essem. Next to him was another familiar shadow. East.

---

I disappeared and re-appeared in the hotel room. Everything was calm and no one was there. Kyungsoo was in the shower. I went into the bathroom and undressed. Kyungsoo looked over with a blank expression.

"When do we leave?" He asked calmly.

"I'll wake you up." I said.

"I don't trust you waking up." Kyungsoo said and smiled.

I laughed, "7:30" I said, "East, will pick us up."
