Log 12 - Night 6

Today's events were less than promising.

Breakfast started out fine. I wanted to acquaint myself with Omi's friends, so I approached the blond one named Yohji. I've seen him around quite a bit, so I believe he's been here about as long as I have. In hindsight, I realize if I had come clean then about what Omi had told me, I might have avoided this situation entirely. Funny how hindsight works...

At any rate, I spoke to Yohji for a few minutes before Omi showed up. It seemed to me that Omi seemed apprehensive about telling Yohji that I had forced him to talk. So, I kept quiet about it for the most part. Except for a few comments that I could have done without. My youkai nature has been acting up lately... Looking back, I think I wanted to see just how far I could press the issue. Well, I found my answer, didn't I?

I approached Yohji again during lunch. I'd seen a bulletin board post involving him, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried. But when I asked him about it, he refused to tell me anything. I thought this was because he was protecting his secret, so I informed him of what Omi told me. The surprise, I had expected, but not the anger. Or Yohji believing that Omi was trying to test him, despite whatever I said afterwards to dissuade him.

It was alarming how easily I had broken his spirit. I had no idea that a few words would result in an outcome of that magnitude. If I was any less human, I might have taken advantage of his mental state, but I couldn't do it. He's Omi's friend. Hurting him meant hurting Omi, and I'd already done enough damage, however unintentional.

And speaking of Omi, he seems less than pleased with me. I wonder why.

Sarcasm aside, I need to fix this somehow. It was my mistake.

'Florist assassins'. Quite possibly one of the most interesting things I heard today. I finally managed to get Omi to talk to me about what he did, and jokingly, that was his response. That he headed a group of florist assassins. I'm not sure if I'm inclined to believe him or not. He seemed to be joking, teasing me, but that would be one of the perfect ways to throw someone off if I were in his place.

It's not necessarily ridiculous. And I'm not one to judge, considering I belong to a group of teenagers that defend the human race from demons. I think anyone reading this journal would really think I was insane.

Anyway, I didn't get a chance to talk to Hisoka. He seemed busy. A little downhearted, but there were others talking to him. Instead, I found myself talking to Ginji again. I was glad to see him. People have been disappearing right and left. Apparently, they can't play with us for quite as long anymore, now that more patients are coming in every other day.

At any rate, Ginji informed me that he's been trying to organize some kind of resistance. It's a good idea, and I told him I would offer whatever assistance that I could. The sooner we brake their control, the better...

Log 7 - Day 4

Morning again. We got a bit farther than the previous nights, but nothing to brag about.

I saw that psychotic woman again, but Ginji took my hand and ran. I don't mind, but I wish we could have found Kuronue. It's been a full day now since I last saw him...

Still, I learned something interesting about Ginji. Apparently, there's someone inside him. He only comes out when he's in danger, but from what Ginji told me, he seems mercilessly protective. And those damnable doctors toyed with him, bringing this person out over and over again.

Ginji said he was frightened of him, so I told him of my own inner demon, Youko. I also promised to keep my distance if I should notice the change.

I never want to see Ginji that vulnerable again.

As for today, there seems to be some changes. It's still the same room, but somehow, the layout has changed. It's rather disturbing. There's also another bed, but I don't believe anyone has slept in it. And then there's the visitors that were mentioned... I can only hope that no one will be 'visiting' me.

I haven't seen Kuronue. I looked for him all day, but he's nowhere to be found. I don't know what to think. I hope he's alright.

I promised Ginji this morning I would go to his room tonight instead. I don't want him running into any other monsters. I shouldn't have made him come over here last night in the first place. Just because I didn't want to pass by Karasu's room again...

Apparently, there is a person who wishes to meet with me in the Sun room this evening. S/he seems to have questionable intentions, but it wouldn't hurt to hear them out.

I also met 'Zelos' and his traveling group for the night. He seemed a rather amusing person. It's a shame I couldn't go with them, but I wouldn't leave Ginji by himself. Still, I added their names to the list that I have.

None of the names I know were called tonight by the man over the intercom. This is good. Though it's still disquieting to know that others are being... experimented on as I write this.

Kuronue still hasn't shown. As much as I want to, I can't wait any longer. I don't want Ginji to wander off alone. I can only hope I'll see him on the way... I'm off to M51.

...Didn't get much farther than my own room last night. Kuronue came first. Ginji never did. I hope he's alright. I should have gone looking for him.

Still, I can't help but feel a sort of relief after last night. I finally received the chance to explain to Kuronue the guilt I'd been feeling since the day he died. It was quite difficult, and took nearly everything I had in me to keep from breaking down. I can't even put into words how much I've missed him all these years.

But it was all worth it. He doesn't hate me like I thought he would. He doesn't blame me at all. If I were in his place, I wouldn't want him to feel bad either... So, I promised I wouldn't dwell on it any longer. Or rather, that I would try, at least. This is the last time I will speak of it.

I want to try again tomorrow night for Kuronue's pendent. He deserves to have it back. I think I have the system figured out, but I'll have to find Ginji first and see if he's still up to it.

Log 4 - Night 2

Well, I found Ginji. It's seems he was one of those taken last night. Something horrible happened to him, but he won't elaborate. I don't blame him, really. I got his institution name, though. As well as a few others. I still need to find Sora, Luffy, and Adelheid, but I suppose it'll have to wait. No names were announced tonight, but the Head Doctor mentioned something about 'special nice ones'... There was talk on the board about brain-washings. I can only hope they haven't happened again.

And Kuronue... I never thought I'd see him again, but he's here. He came here just after he died all those years ago... But why? Why him... If I ever get my hands on the person responsible, I swear... They will know agony before they die. He has been through more than enough... The very least he deserves is a peaceful afterlife. Not this hell.

...Ginji and I are going to help him find his pendant tonight. I've scouted most of the first floor, but there's a little left just past the doctor's offices, and then the rooms opposite to the Sun Room. I haven't been to the second floor at all, yet, though. I'll have to see what Kuro and Ginji wish to do...

...Goals for tonight: Weapons and Kuro's pendant.

((Found on back pages of journal. I swear Kurama's writing is neater than mine.))

The day passed rather uneventfully.

I met Ginji, a rather cheerful and pleasant boy, exchanged room numbers. He's new here, like I am. I plan on meeting him later tonight.

I also met Adelheid and Luffy, two of the older patients, I would guess. They knew more about this strange place than I did, at least. Apparently, this place is much more dangerous at night, and I'm inclined to believe them after that less than innocent anouncement from the Head Doctor.

I currently have five seeds at my disposal. A decent amount if I had enough energy to make my whip, but I think I'll only be capable of forming the darts for now. I'll need a better weapon than that if I'm to defend myself against the creatures I was warned about. Perhaps I could find something in the kitchen.

But first, I need to locate Ginji. Room M51, he said.

Log 1 – Date Unknown (Henceforth known as Day 1)

2006-09-28T03:08:22Z

I seem to have found myself in a rather peculiar situation. Waking up this morning, I discovered I was in a strange room, rather than in my own bedroom. I have no recollection of how I got here.

I was informed by a woman in a white uniform that this is a mental hospital of sorts. She called me 'Skylar Moore', and said that I’d be staying here until I'm 'better'. She ignored any attempts I made to correct her. I’ll play along for now; otherwise I doubt I’ll learn anything about this strange place or how I got here... Or how to get out, for that matter.

After an initial search of the room, I discovered this journal among other things, which were apparently left for my use. I find it hard to believe that these people would respect my privacy after that nurse's rude intrusion this morning, so I’ll have to find a better hiding place for this journal. Shoving it back into the desk drawer won’t do. I plan to keep my thoughts here, either to sort things out, or prove my own sanity...

On that note, I’ve discovered my demon energy is distinctly lacking in this environment. I’m as of yet unsure whether it’s merely the building, or if these people have done something to me. It’s a rather frustrating detail, but I should be able to get by as I am for now. At least my abilities have not been taken from me completely, as they were during that one match of the Dark Tournament... I’ve worked hard these past seventeen years to return to the level of expertise that I was before I died in the demon world. I will not allow these people to set me back again...

I can only hope that my mother is alright, as well... I don't know what's become of her since my absence, but I intend on returning home as quickly as possible. Just as soon as I figure out how...
