A/N: So, Kogasa, what do you think of the past?

K/N: Well, it's really tasty.

A/N: The past, not how easily frightened the humans are.

K/N: Well... it's very magical.

A/N: Is that so?

R/N: That is so~!

A/N: Shush, Rumia. I'm busy interviewing Kogasa on what the past is like.

R/N: Aww...

K/N: Well, the past is very... old.

A/N: You don't say...

K/N: I-I'm not very good at describing things!

A/N: Ugh... What about you, Kurumi?

Ku/N: ...

A/N: ...Kurumi...?

Ku/N: ...

A/N: Kurumi! Stop writing, and respond to me, dang it!

Ku/N: ...? Hmm? Did you say something? I wasn't listening.

A/N: Graaa! Nevermind! Let's just get on with the show...

I sat down on my bed, and once more began to get some before-bed reading in. Let's see... Where was I in this old thing? I looked through the pages, and eventually stopped on the entry after the last, which I began to read.

I sure am writing a lot these days. It feels so strange to have so much free time, in all honesty. Kurumi's been writing non-stop, and has only taken breaks to feed on those I surprise by way of bringing them to her. On the note of feeding, we were set upon by a hunting party meant to kill us. Seems they don't take too kindly to being whisked away from the flock, and eaten. Of course, they failed, but we decided that it was time to move on to the next due to that. As such, we're currentl~

Well, that hurt... While I was writing, I flew into a tree...

I began to giggle at that memory a bit. Ahh, the good old days... With that quick chuckle out of the way, I continued to read.

I wonder how Kurumi so easily flies and writes at the same time...? I'll continue this later, when it's safer.

With the page cutting short, I flipped to the next entry, on the next page.

Ahh, now that we've made camp, I can finally get back to writing. ...But what's there to write? Ahh, I know! We moved from Japan, and went over to what would become China. Although, as we didn't have the coordinates down, and could have ended up fused with a tree due to this, we decided to fly. Although, Kurumi said that I could try if I truely wished to. Needless to say, I took that as a warning not to, and simply flied alongside her. Took us a full day's flight to arive at around where Shanghai will some day be. The magical density has really helped our flight speeds, we've found, not that we were particularly slow before.

As we flew, I saw tengu! They were surprisingly advanced, although that might be due to the kappa. Contrary to popular belief, humans have only somewhat recently caught up with the standard kappa things. ...Or, I suppose they will in 22,000 years. It was actually a bit funny, when Kurumi saw the kappa and tengu. She immediately said that we would have to investigate them, when we return to Japan. Yes, I know what you're thinking, book. "Ohh, so you plan on returning?"

I couldn't help but snort at the fact I has begun to act like the book was actually listening. I had been rather exausted from all that flying, if memory serves...

Short answer is yes. Long answer is Wait, I've started to talk to a book, haven't I? I need sleep.

I giggled a bit, and flipped to the next entry, but frowned when I noticed that it was utterly boring. With that noticed, I began to skim along untill I came to a more interesting entry. I want to relive the excitement of the past, not relive the boredom. When I stopped, a few years had passed, and over one hundred entries had gone by.

Well, that could have gone better. They treated us as threats, and captured us. Sure, we could easily get out of this forcefield, but we have a reason to be here. The tengu and kappa are the first signs we've seen of sentient youkai. The rest have been, well, feral. Not a one has done more than try to kill us for simply being near it. After all, although we may not smell human, we are the only ones that look human. Well, us and the tengu. Even the kappa still don't seem to value the human form, and how it can help one blend in. Three metre tall turtles do rather stand out, you know? Although, I'm surprised they didn't take my diary... Ohh, some's comi

Heh... I had forgotten that part.

Well, that was surprising. Before I knew it, the white wolf tengu had my diary in her hand, while peering through that tengu mask of hers. Never understood why they love those things, honestl

I began to giggle at the sight on the page beside the text, and turned the page.

Well, that's starting to get annoying now. This time she drew a flower on the page! A rather photo-realistic flower, but a flower none the less. She's as fast, if not faster, than Aya! The paper was smoking with the speed at which she drew the thing... I'm going to end this here, before I end up having it snatched from my hand agai

I grinned at the memory of how I met the leader of the tengu. Quite the curious one, she was. And then, after that, there was...

Great, seems that, as an apology, the oni are throwing a party in our honor. This can only go well... Although, I do wish they'd let us out of this cell before the party. Was already hungry when we got here... Are they trying to starve us to death before th

Well, seems I spoke too soon. They just brought us some food to tide us over. Although, going by the look in her eye, Kurumi is even more irritated than I, so I suppose I should count my blessings. After all, we flew for a day strait to get here, thus meaning she hasn't fed in that amount of time. I'll write more after I eat.

I let out a sigh at the nostalgia of the events that had long since passed. As I was done, I grabbed a bookmark from my nightstand, and slipped it in. Had grabbed the thing before I got to bed, as I knew I had been meaning to for the last couple nights. With the bookmark in place, I gently closed my diary and placed it in a gap for safe keeping.

With that done, I leaned back in bed, and drifted off to sleep.
