Animation academy

Kira opened the door to room 105 and saw a room that was surprisingly big for 2,000 Yen a month cheap rent for such a big room that didn't seem to have anything wrong with it.

(A.N: 2,000 Yen is $12,97 USD)

The room had tatami mat flooring and a single window that could be opened. The room didn't have any amenities, such as a bed or desk, but that didn't matter much to him. He had been in worse sleeping conditions when he had sleepovers back in his previous life.

"Ok, let's unpack my stuff to start." he cracked his knuckles and with a click on his system's item box out popped his suitcase. His suitcase was very large, much larger than any kind of carry on. "Ha, take that TSA life hack...I don't know why I said that I took a train." Kira unzipped the suitcase and got out everything he had in it, clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, and a single blanket.

He placed the clothes in the room's small closet and opened the window to let some fresh summer air in. Sitting down; leaning against the wall he looked out the window and smiled. It was something simple but he felt accomplished, he was 18 in his old world and 16 in this one so he had never lived away from his parents, even if the people in this world weren't the parents that raised him it still was a new felling compared to what he had experienced in the past two weeks

Kira closed his eyes the wind gently blowing in his face and said the words, "Status"

"Wait, I've only met two people, who the hell is the third? Oh, it's the cat. Since this world is full of things from anime I wouldn't be surprised if that cat was a cursed person or someone who ate an odd fruit or they could just be a cat person that's always an option." Unbeknownst to Kira, someone was watching all of his actions. Floating above him was the spirit of a girl. She looked to be the same age as Kira–16–She had long silky white hair and contrasting Red eyes. Wrapped around her head was a triangle shaped cloth, floating above her head was a blue wisp. She wore a white yukata with a red kimono over it. She listened to his words and then in a panic flew through the ceiling of the room up to the second floor and rushed to Sagiri Ameno's room.

3 minutes earlier 

"So what was that about?" Ameno asked the cat in front of her. The cat just looked at her with a bit of an angry glance. "Don't give me that look. ...Okay, I'm sorry for picking you up." The cat just continued to glare at Ameno, giving her the equivalent of a death glare. The cat blinked it's golden eyes and then a puff of smoke appeared around it covering the cat in the thick smoke it became unseeable, and by the time the fog had disappeared the cat was gone and it's place was a girl with seaweed colored hair. She looked up at Sagiri with her golden cat-like eyes and opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Ameno "Sorry, but could you put something on first?" She said, looking away covering her eyes from seeing Yaya Fushiguro's naked body. 

"..." Yaya didn't say anything, but did put clothes on though they were Ameno's clothes. Ameno looked after hearing the clothes stop rustling and asked again,

"What was that about? You hate it when people touch you." Yaya looked at her lazily, and then laid back on the ground. 

"He's…warm." She said before falling asleep. Ameno sighed and before she could get to do anything a white haired spirit rushed into the room. 

"Ameno! Ameno! He knows! He Knows!!" Yuuna said, panicking and moving her arms at a rapid pace.

"Yuuna, calm down or else you're gonna-" Suddenly Ameno was cut off due to the fact that she was lifted up into the air by Yuuna's poltergeist ability, telekinesis. Ameno and Yaya began to float off the ground along with all the items Ameno had in her room. "Yuuna calm down!" Ameno yelled and her words reached the panicked Yuuna. She calmed her self and soon after everything and everyone fell back down to the ground. Despite all the chaos Yaya had managed to stay asleep. "Thank you, now what's the problem?"

"The new resident, he was talking to himself, and after a while he somehow figured out that Yaya was the cat." 

"What?"Ameno's face gained a serious look and Yaya opened an eye that stared at the fading sunlight, as a smile curled upon her lips.

"Haha Mom this is amazing!" A young voice echoed out and the image of a woman whose face was hidden by a shadow appeared in his eyes.

"I'm glad you like it," The voice said before distorting like static. All that could be heard were the words "I love you, son."

A tear fell down the cheek of the asleep Kira as he slowly opened his eyes, looking out the window that was still open he saw the darkness of the night and the light from the moon shining down lighting up the dark night. 

"...Mom…" A somber voice left his lips before he pushed the feeling away and stood up to walk out of his room. He had no idea of the time, his room had no clock. Walking through the dark halls he got to the kitchen. The kitchen was a wide room with a decent sized circle table in the middle with about 8 chairs around it. In the corner was a Kotatsu that wasn't being used but they must have kept it out for when it did get cold. Next to it was a TV stand with an old model flat screen on it. 

(A.N: a 2010 model)

"Such an old model, It's kinda nostalgic. Looking at it I can almost hear the Disney fast play. Speaking of old times, what year is this? The story of Sakurasou takes place in the early 2010's but in the time I've been in this world I've seen some characters from series that take place at later and earlier dates. Calendars are no help, every year's just marked as '20XX' helpful I know." Kira said, talking to himself as he looked in the fridge for something to eat. Browsing for a minute he landed on a drawer full of fruit, looking through it he landed on an apple. Kira brought it over to the sink, washed it off in the dark kitchen and looked at the clock on the coffee maker. 

[12:48] 

"I got here at around 8:00 so I slept for" He counted on his finger 8-12 coming up with the result of, "5 Hours. Guess I'm not getting any sleep tonight." He turned off the sink and dried off the apple with his shirt and walked back to the hallway, as he was walking the lights to the kitchen turned on and in walked a young man with light purple hair and eyes. He was wearing an outfit that fit his playboy persona and he also had glasses. The man walked right past Kira and to the fridge looking inside for something to eat. Kira watched as after a minute or so the man closed it, not getting anything. He then turned to the left and opened the door to the pantry. He walked in and turned on the light.

"Wow, there's a walk-in pantry here too." Kira said, biting into the apple.

"!!" Jin Mitaka's heart almost jumped out of his chest as he was surprised by the person he didn't notice. He turned around to see Kira standing behind him looking around the pantry. 

"Who are you?" Jin asked a bit weary

"Oh, I'm Kira Vallery, I'm a new resident here. Nice to meet you." Kira held out his free hand for a handshake and it was reciprocated by Jin.

"I'm Jin Mitaka, Room 103"

"Oh I'm room 105" Kira smiled and was about to return to his room before Jin made a weird noise

"Ugh, you're in room 105?" He asked in a foreboding tone. 

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Kira asked, biting into the apple again.

"Well it's just that the room is…haunted?" 

"You sound uncertain, is it haunted or not?"

"I don't know, weird things happen in that room, and no one ever stays in it long." 

"I see, well let's find out how long I can last in this haunted room." Kira smiled a cheeky smile and headed back to his room,

"...?" Jin was confused, he had just told him that his room was haunted and instead of being scared he was fine, in fact he seemed to be having fun at the idea of a ghost roommate. "He kinda reminds me of Misaki." Jin recalled how when he and Misaki first moved here and she heard about the ghost she tried to befriend it, but she couldn't see it nor did she have any physical evidence other than a candle blowing out. Kira popped his head back into the doorway and asked Jin a question

"Oh right I have to ask, it's almost one in the morning so why didn't you just stay wherever you were?" 

"Her husband was coming home." A sly smile smeared on Jin's lips as Kira gave a knowing nod and left.

'I should probably take a bath,' Kira thought when he re-entered his room He immediately left his room again and walked across the hall to the bathroom, he knocked on the door and heard no response, he hesitantly opened the door, he knew this was a world of anime, and he knew what to expect.

"who's to say that a woman won't be in there, and had just not heard my knocking." He opened the door and was surprised to see…it was a broom closet. "When did I turn left?" He hadn't, he had angled himself to the right and then walked straight, the bathroom was the next door over to the right. After another failed attempt to find the bathroom–this time he just walked into a room with a ping pong table and other games–he finally found it. He knocked again just in case and got no response. Walking into the bathroom he found that the lights were on, but he didn't see or hear anyone, he walked forward past the laundry room that connected them and stopped at the foggy glass door. 

"Fog? Someone has to be in there," Kira knocked on the door waiting for a response but all he got in return was silence. He slowly opened the door and saw sleeping in the bath with a bottle of liquor in her hand, a pink haired woman, Nonko Arahabaki.

Kira stared at the woman who was asleep in the tub. Her hand was draped over the tub and held loosely in it was an empty bottle of alcohol. She smelled of alcohol and not at all of the soap that was still floating on the surface of the water.

"From my experience the bubbles still being in the bath means she hasn't been in long so the water should still be warm, though I have to ask why is she down in the boys bathroom…or did I end up going into the girls one by accident?" Kira walked out and looked at the door that said 'Men's bathroom'. "So I'm in the right bathroom but she's not…I feel like this is a first in anime." Kira grabbed a warm towel from the laundry room section and walked back into the bathroom. He touched the shoulder of Nonko and attempted to wake her up but all he got in response was,

"Mmm~ Booooze~~zzz~" She smiled a dopey smile and lifted up her arm lazily before putting it back down. 

"Ugh, The water's going to get colder by the minute, she could just get a cold or she could get hypothermia or pneumonia and die. So it's justified to take her out of the water even if it means touching her naked body…right?" He reached his hands into the water and tucked them under her torso and legs, picking her up from the water. She slightly opened her eyes for a second due to the difference in temperature but when a warm towel was wrapped around her she closed her eyes again only catching a glimpse of Kira's figure. Nonko was laid on Kira's lap as he grabbed another towel and began to dry her hair. She gave a dumb smile as she rested in Kira's lap as he dried her off. After drying her off to the best of his abilities he picked her up again in a princess carry. She was wrapped in a towel that exemplified her curves but Kira's main focus was on, 

'I hate to think about it, but she's heavy. You never really see it in anime's but people fucking weigh a lot. Damn you authors for not mentioning this.'

(A.N: I did)

'Shut up you idiot.' Kira responded to the author as he carried Nonko to the couch in the living room. He didn't know which room was hers nor did he want to invoke the wrath of Kunai girl for going upstairs. So left with no other option he brought her to the living room and placed her on the couch. He then took off the wet towel and wrapped a soft blanket around her instead. He then put another blanket over her entire body, other than her face. He placed a pillow underneath her head and looked at her still asleep. 

"Is this fine? I mean I would have liked to put clothes on her but I don't have any girls clothes for her to wear, I guess this is the best I can do. Wait right I have large shirts." He went back to his room grabbed one of his shirts and returned to the sleeping Nonko's side. He undid the blankets, put his shirt on her and then wrapped the blankets back up covering her again. "This was definitely better than leaving her in the bath. Good night Pink haired lady." He whispered before returning to the bathroom to turn off the lights and then returned to his room. Kira closed his window and then laid down on the tatami mat flooring and looked around at the suitcase that was now empty he laid against the wall and the clothes he stuffed in the small closet. 

"It's weird…I know that I decided to come here but it's still weird. My entire life I've lived pretty normally. This is the first time I'm living without…anyone from my family…it's…weird" Kira mumbled before opening his system to check something; then he fell asleep despite his earlier claims.

*Bang Bang Bang* 

A loud knock was heard on Kira's door. Kira opened his eyes to the ceiling he still wasn't used to and got up to answer his door. He opened the door and the fist that was banging on the door ended up knocking Kira straight in the face.

"Ah." The slightly short girl banging on the door said watching as her fist collided with his nose

"Can I help you?" Kira had a tinge of anger in his voice and more anger evident on his face.

"Did the ghost show up?" Misaki Kamiiagusa asked, completely ignoring his angry look with a stary look in her eyes.

"What?" Kira asked groggily, rubbing his nose.

"Hehe," Her eyes shined brighter, "I see you don't know but you see this room is haunted!" She declared holding her finger out with a smug smile like a cat on her face.

"Uh, yeah I know, I'm sorry who are you?" Kira asked, still half asleep. 

"You can call me Misaki, Junior." 

"Okay, Misaki, why are you here?" Kira asked, barely awake.

"To see the ghost," she said, like it was the most obvious answer.

"...Ok, come on in." Kira stepped aside and let Misaki into his room.

"…Wow thanks." She was surprised a little by his willingness to let her in. Before Kira about 4 other people had lived in room 105 but none of them had stayed longer than two weeks and every time a new person was here Misaki would always come in on the first morning to ask whether or not the ghost appeared, most of their reactions were either closing the door in her face or letting her in with other intentions. Though they never got far with her, they always got repelled by some mysterious force.

"So what's this ghost even like?" Kira asked, stretching his arms and showing a little of his stomach as he did.

"No idea, I know they exist though." She smiled, eyeing Kira's stomach.

"I see, so you have no idea what she's like. Do any of the other residents know anything?"

"No, though I think a few can see them. They talk to themselves sometimes almost like they're having a conversation with someone."

"Hmm, I see. So some of the other residents can see and hear her." Misaki's ear twitched at his words,

"Her?" Misaki asked her face plastered with a smirk.

'Shit, I fucked up.' Kira thought.
