It stormed heavily outside the cave that he had taken refuge in, the body of a still breathing mobian panda at his side, his other companion having gone deeper into the caves to look around. Kaizo, the only human of the group, frowned as he recalled the events of a few hours before.
'Zombies'... Living beings without a soul, driven only by the instinct to nourish their bodies with anything. He sighed, poking the one beside him, currently completely limp with dazed eyes having its stomach filled, before frowning. Not much to do but wait for this rain to stop... He needed to get somewhere...
Where that was, the human boy did not know.

Lightning crackled outside.
The sound of the rain echoed within the cave. Then something like a voice barely loud enough to be heard over the rain came to him.
The cave is empty, your friend is searching fruitlessly. The rain will likely last over the night. You are stuck here for the night.
Then there was a dry laugh. Lightning crackled and for a moment there seemed to be someone standing outside. Someone covered head to two in clothing. Then it was gone.
Stuck in an empty cave. Atleast you still have a soul to enjoy...
Well most of you do.
It laughed again.

Kaizo jumped at the thunder, straining his ears as he heard something similar to a whisper. Looking out of the cave, he squinted, a figure appear, then disappearing. "What...?"
Was it an illusion? Or inferior senses being unable to see?...

You heard me human.
Human... An interesting creature, but mortal.
It laughed.
Mortality, that is the reason your panda friend is a zombie.
And I am still here.
Suddenly the figure from before was standing right beside Kaizo. He was dressed in much clothing, so much cloth that the only thing revealed was his left eye, and it was a glowing red coming from an empty darkness.

Kaizo kept himself from jumping, instead looking to the side with half-lidded eyes. "...Who are you...?" It was odd... Recently, he'd been able to tell what had a soul and what didn't thanks to this 'ability' of his... In fact, it saved him from the 'zombie' earlier.
But the one before him still had one. "The difference between mortals and immortals... Am I to believe that even you are spared some grim fate?"
(Kaizo's so gloomy... D: )

"Because I am a demon. We are creatures that entire existence is at as soul. We form our bodies from a portion of our soul." He chuckles. "So when our soul is stolen we do not simply become like your friend their. A remnant of it exists within our bodies. We are still ourselves, only less so."

"Hmp. Another things that make 'us humans' inferior..." Kaizo turned, staring out at the rainy forest with dimmed eyes. "At least that one's alive... If a human were to enter that state, they wouldn't have the instinct to move... they simply eat away at themselves until the brain rots.." It was quite clear that Kaizo was not in the most positive of moods at the moment. Turning back to the so-called 'demon' he narrowed his eyes.
"Though I would like to know what a demon finds worthwhile in speaking to one of those mere mortals..."

"Humans... Mortal creatures." It chuckled. "Why I talk to you? Oh simple."
It dissapeared.
Like you I am stuck in this cave, I have been so for much longer however... Far much longer. FAR MUCH LONGER!
The cave seemed to shake for a moment.
Betrayed by my own brother. He stole my soul, and left me here to proverbial rot.
And now you are here, and I am no longer left to my own consumming thoughts.

Well- Wasn't that a sad story; Almost sounded like him and- ....Nevermind. Kaizo lay back, his sweater cushioning the fall against stone as he sighed. Staring at the dull, damp ceiling of rock above him, he slowly chose the answer the 'cave shaker'. "I affect your thoughts? Hmph."

I am not alone. I do not have to talk to myself. That is assuming you are not just figments of my imagination.
It laughed.
But I do not recognize you... No, you couldn't be a figment of my imagination could you?
The thing appeared before him again, he reached out a hand, the hand that reached out from his long sleeves had long clawed fingers. He reached as though he wanted to caress Kaizo's face, but held it just out of reach.
"You are not are you? Tell me that you are not of my imagination, lest I destroy you in my rage. My thoughts can be consumming on me, and I destroy the dangerous ones to keep myself in sanity. Tell me you are real. TELL ME OR BE DESTROYED!"

"Hnm!" Rather than be frightened, Kaizo almost seemed to be slightly amused by this. He sat up, a cold look upon his face.
"Tell me if you could imagine a boy who could reject the soul from another's body, and, when attempting to summon it back make a mistake... Or if you can imagine someone who can move from body to body out of their own will... I do not believe I am a figment of imagination; But how would an imagination know they are or aren't?" The teen smirked again. "It's a bit of a connundrum, neh?"

"I have a big imagination." The one eye shifted and looked from him to the panda. "I imagined you two didn't I?" He turned and walked towards the cave entrance, looking out at the lightning and rain.
"I am talking to myself again... Once again..."

"KAAAAAAIIIIIZZZOOOO~"
Before the named teen could even respond to the strange, unnamed demon, a small green wasp flew in from the other end of the cave at high speed, rocketing into him and pushing both into the rain. "NGH!!!"
The wasp, however, seemed to not notice. "Kaizo~ Wasp find nothing in cave except lots of hot springs! Come swim with Wasp~"
The boy beneath him proceeded to push the mobian rather roughly off of himself. "I will probably have to so I don't catch a cold now... Wasp...." That voice... Was full of tension...
(ALRIGHT UNKNOWN. YOU CAN'T BE CRAZY ENOUGH TO IMAGINE WASP. YOU JUST... CAN'T.)

The demon had vanished the moment Kaizo's sight left him.

Kaizo sat up, looking around for the demon and frowning. "Hn.. Gone." Walking back into the cave, he rapped a hand on Wasp's helmet. "Come on.... We mind as well be warm and wet instead of cold and wet... Show me the hot springs..."
"Ahh!! Of course Kaizo~" The green wasp (Who was, as it seemed, rather accurately called by that name as well) flew up ahead, leading his 'friend' down in to the caves, said friend grabbing the brain dead panda on the way.
Briefly, Kaizo turned back to see if the demon would perhaps reappear. "...Hm..."
