Youkai, Japanese spirits and monsters there all around us, you just can't see them. And trust me you wouldn't want to. Remember when you were young and you heard all the stories of the monsters hiding under your bed, well nothing is scarier when the monsters really there and no night light can ever get rid of it.

I was five when I first started to see them, at first they left me alone until they realised I could see them. Some played with me and told me stories but others chased me around claiming I "looked tasty" but no matter who I told no one believed me and I had long since learned to shut up about the monsters and spirits which surrounded me afterall what good would it do to tell anyone anymore?

Im twelve now and living in a care home, after an incident when I was six and a monster followed me home and tore up the house I was labeled a "problem child" by my parents and left abandoned in the care home, but it didn't bother me much they had never felt like much of a family and even before I started seeing the youkai they had called me a cursed child though I never knew why, I never would know now I suppose.

But life wasn't all bad and I had grown used to my life in the home, I was avoided by most of the tenants due to the odd paranormal events that happened around me but I enjoyed school and I had long since learned the routes I needed to take to avoid the youkai around town. However everything changed on that one day....
