He looked at the well, and looked at the sign by the well. Both sign and well were obviously old, but had been kept in pretty decent shape. Vines lazily crawled up the bricks of the well, but the wooden sign looked as if nothing but time had ever touched it. It read, "Wishing Well. Throw a coin in to the well to have good fortune for a day. Throw two coins, good luck for a week. Throw three in, and get a wish granted."
Doumeki, the only character in this story so far, just blinked after he read the sign which coincidentally had a butterfly on it. He pondered throwing some coins in the well, but decided against it, seeing as he had no coins on him. He turned around, and started to walk away, and promptly tripped face forward. Doumeki opened his eyes (which he had closed when he had started to fall) and lo and behold, he saw a stone bowl, with three coins in it, and a scrap of paper in it. The paper read, "If you are in need of coins for the wishing well, use these coins."
Doumeki slowly picked himself up, and ignored the coins. What if someone else with horrible luck needed them?
He tripped again as he started to walk away, and saw another smaller piece of paper in the bowl. "Take the coins damn it!" Doumeki, one not to go against fate and people tripping bowls, promptly grabbed the coins up, and then stood up gracefully.
He dropped all three coins in the well, and then started to walk away when… "Asshole! Get back here!"
A boy who looked to be in about his teens, around Doumeki's age perhaps, was struggling to climb out of the well, and seemed to be twitching sporadically. "Bastard! You fucking dropped coins on me!"
"…" There was an awkward silence.
"Damn it! It's not my fault I was in the well! Now say something! Who are you, anyway?!"
"…Who are you?"
"Watanuki Kimiharo! Spirit of this Wishing -oof-Well that the damn Witch of the Dimensions put up! And I asked you first!" yelled the potentially schizophrenic well dweller as he attempted to get out of the well.
"Doumeki Shizuka."
"Doumeki…" Watanuki said thoughtfully. "You bastard! What do you think you wre doing, leaving without making a wish?! Wait… you can see me?! And hear me?!"
"Why do I have to make a wish? And yes, I can see you," is what normal people would have said, but Doumeki was not normal (and still isn't) so he gave Watanuki a, "What are you, stupid?" look.
The more then likely schizophrenic spirit glared at Watanuki, and started flailing his arms frantically. "If I don't grant your wish, it's extremely bad for my health if you go far away! And normal humans can't see me, they just hear me, and think they've gone crazy, and half the time, theydon't even hear me! And you bastard, come back here! Don't you dare leave while I'm still explaining things!"

"…You followed me home," Doumeki deadpanned.
"That's not my fault! I have to follow you, 'cause it's painful otherwise, and that's really not fun or good for my health, so just make your damn wish."
"…I'm hungry." And with those elegant words, Doumeki left the entryway and walked over to his kitchen.
"Microwaveable ramen?! What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"…It tastes good?"
"Out! My inner chef is dying! So don't enter this kitchen till I tell you, Doumeki-bastard!"
A few hours later, Watanuki left the kitchen carrying a plate of steamed rice, with some green tea. "I'll be right back."
Watanuki reentered the kitchen, and came back with a cooked fish with sauce to the side, and some steamed vegetables. "There! The only reason it took me so long was because you had so many expired foods, and I can't stand disorder, so…" Watanuki rambled on and on about the cooking, until…
"Itadakimasu (I receive this food)." Doumeki quickly wolfed down the simple but delicious looking meal.
"What do you think?" Watanuki asked smugly. "Good, isn't it?"
"…"
"ARGH!"
"How come you aren't eating?"
"...I don't eat. After all, I'm just a spirit. Not a human being. I get my nourishment. So eat it, and be thankful Doumeki! Oye, are you even listening to me?!"
Doumeki smirked. This spirit would stir things up, wouldn't he?
