"You're falling asleep again!" someone yelled and I jumped up to see Kosugi standing there.

"Do you have to yell" I muttered and then yawned. I blinked a few times to see everyone getting ready to go. Did I sleep through the whole rehearsal? I am probably never going to hear the end of this. I just want to go home. Luckily Uncle said I do not have to come in. More sleep for me!

Then again I am also behind on some school work.

So this makes not much of a difference.

"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Emiko asked walking toward me with Kaiji following behind.

I sighed, "yes I am fine. I just did not get much sleep last night."

"Having trouble sleeping?" Kosugi asked.

"No" I sighed, "I have been working."

"Where?" Emiko asked.

"No where important" I responded as I stood up and stretched, "is the meeting over? I really should be heading home now."

"Fine, but tomorrow you have to stay behind to make up on your time sleeping" Kosugi yelled as I left the room. I walked into someone while walking down the corridor.

"Sorry" I said as I looked up. My eyes widened as I looked at the man. The man standing in front was tall with black hair and matching eyes, he had a slight tan, and was wearing a nice suit. He had a serious expression, which I guessed he hardly ever changed. To sum it up quickly, he was incredibly hot.

"It was my fault" he said awkwardly, "sorry… I am actually looking for two people. Emiko Yamazaki and Kaiji Akizuki." Why is he looking for Emiko? Does it have to do with the bodyguard thing? I should not really care…

"They are just down the hall, last door on your right" I responded trying to keep my voice under control.

"Thank you" he said before heading down the corridor.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" I asked.

Without changing his expression he turned around and answered, "Daichi Katsuragi, thank you again." Daichi walked away before I could say anything else. A sigh slipped my lips, why is Emiko lucky enough to be acquainted with him? I turned around and continued to leave the school building.


I stared at the stack of papers I just wrote for school then at the time. It was nearly two in the morning and I had to wake up at seven. I groaned as I quickly went to take a bath then to bed. As I layed in bed I heard my phone go off. I sat up annoyed and picked up my phone. Who is messaging me now? I looked to see it was from Emiko.

Why is she texting me this late at night? It was nearly three now.

"Naomi, can you please meet me asap" the message said with an address. She would not normally do this unless it is important.

I replied with, "okay, going now." I quickly changed and left my apartment. I made sure the door was locked and exited the building. I felt a shiver go up my spine as I took my first step into the cold night. I should have brought my jacket, but I have no time to run back up. I can always run to keep warm. I began to jog toward the address that was a few blocks away. Once I arrived I realized it was a kids park. What is Emiko doing here so late.

"Naomi?" a voice asked and I looked around toward the voice. It was a woman I never seen before. She walked toward me and I realized I was wrong. It was some man in a dress.

"Who are you?" I asked. I never seen this man before. He took out a phone and I quickly recognized it. It was Emiko's phone. How did he get it? I backed away nervously and hit a tree. "Where is Emiko?" I asked.

"Probably home in the Prime Minister's residence" he said walking toward me, "she is unavailable at the moment, so I need a substitute… you." What did he mean by Prime Minister's residence? I cannot think about that right now.

I turned away and began to run away from him. I heard the man chase after me, and he was gaining speed fast. The street was empty, all the stores were closed, and my apartment was still a while away. I became lost in thought and tripped.

Stupid! This is what happens in every horror movie before they…

I stood up and turned around to see the man running toward me gaining speed. I pulled out my phone as I continued to run. I called the last number, Kosugi.

Please answer…

"This is the voi-"

I hung up and tried calling the police this time. Some woman answered and I was able to say "help me" before I was tackled to the ground.

"Got you girl" he said laughing as I watched my phone slide across the ground and into a ditch. I tried to scream for help but he covered my mouth with a sweet smelling cloth.

Why did this have to happen…

I slowly began to lose consciousness.


I open my eyes with a dull ache in my head. I looked around confused. I was in a small room with no windows and one door that looked as if it was just painted on the wall. Where am I?

I sat up and tried to stand but I felt instantly dizzy and fell back down. I felt the urge to cry. I stood up again, this time successfully, and banged on the door.

"Is someone out there?" I cried to no response. The only response I received was silence.

It was too quiet.

The only thing I heard was the sound of my own breathing.


"My phone is missing" Emiko said as she went digging into her bag. Drama club was on break and everyone was either eating, talking or on their phone.

"When was the last time you saw it?" Kaiji asked looking over her shoulder into the bag.

"Yesterday before…" Emiko began and went pale, "before the attack. Could he have stolen my phone?"

"We can track it down" Kaiji responded, "it will be ok-"

"Have either of you seen Naomi?" Kosugi interrupted.

"No" Emiko said putting down her bag, "she did not come into class today."

"She called me last night when I was sleeping and she is not answering her phone" Kosugi stated.

Emiko paled as Kaiji responded, "maybe she is just sick? We can go check on her after." Emiko nodded her head with the feeling that Naomi was not sick, and something bad happened. Kosugi's phone began to ring and the display showed the name "Naomi".

"NAOMI WHERE ARE YOU!" Kosugi yelled, "did you sleep in again."

"Umm… who is Naomi? I just found this phone on the street and I am looking for the owner" the female voice responded. The three of them went silent.
