A/N: It comes with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye to my fans.

Y/N: Say it isn't so!

A/N: Indeed, it is so, Yukari... You see, I finally gave in on these urges that my fiction have given me, and cannibalized my neighbor. The police are currently dealing with Rumia to get in, but have called in steak support, so as to bribe her.

R/N: That is so~!

Y/N: ...Okay, I've heard some bad jokes in my time, but that was a truely horrible April Fools.

R/N: That is so~!

A/N: W-well, it was on short notice! My watch had March 31st on it for some reason...

Y/N: Well, it's not as if I expected better from you...

R/N: That is so~!

A/N: ...Rumia, saying that isn't particularly needed, after the first one. Also, this doesn't mean that I'm going to stop being curious about the taste of human flesh. On the contrary, this actually made me start to wonder again!

A/N2: Sorry the chapter came out at about 20 minutes before midnight, my time. Again, my date was off...

Once more opening my reading material, I instantly flipped to the correct page, due to my little black plastic bookmark. With everything prepared, I sat the mark on my nighstand, and climbed into bed. Once settled, I began to read more of my memoir.

Okay, I can hardly understand my drunken rambling. Let's skip to after that...

Today, I woke up in the same bed as Kurumi! Ohh gods, what happened last night? I remember accepting some sake, and then nothing! Needless to say, I quietly removed myself, and picked up my clothes from the ground. We were holding eachother's naked bodies. I had heard of doing things you might regret while drunk, but I never expected for them to happen!

I couldn't help but cringe a bit at the memory... To this day, I still haven't a clue as to what we did.

Although, I must say, I was really impressed with how much sake Kurumi downed before I had any... She out-drank an oni! Vampires are really a bit scary just due to the fact of them not even having to try to do amazing things...

On the note of oni, we met the four devas. It was... a rather interesting experience, as only two of them were familiar to us. Kasen the Wise, and Suika the Skilled. But those, of course, weren't the only two. There were two others by the names of Ota the Endurant, and Sazanami the Strong. Ota was... well, surprisingly gangly, and slender. But he was as strong as any oni! Well, not the Deva of Strength, but still. Sazanami was so... well, muscular, for lack of a better word. She was the largest of the four, looking like a bodybuilder. And judging by her title, that made her stronger than any of the other oni. Heck, I'm sure if she simply tensed her muscles against you, she'd be able to send you flying! Anyways, Kurumi managed to beat the Deva of Wisdom in a drinking contest, but only because she was too smart to drink any more. She gave the victory to Kurumi, and with it, the honor that came with drinking an oni- and a Deva at that- under the table. So now we're buddy-buddy with both the tengu and oni, which got us a place to stay.

And then I decided to try a sip of sake, and, well, that's the last thing I can remember.

Note to self: Never drink the sake of oni ever again. I've had a taste of regular sake before, but it hardly did a thing. Oni sake, on the other hand, seems to be comparing a firecracker to a stick of TNT.

Words to live by, dear. Last time I drank oni sake, I nearly swapped borders not meant to be swapped! ...Hardly remember which, though. But still, it was terrible! Happened over a thousand years ago, so it's not the easiest of things to recall. Getting back to my reading, I banished the pointless side-tracking from my mind.

Hrm... But, after the bit of a story, there's really nothing interesting... Maybe if I just start skimming a bit again.

Aha! Another 7 years in the future, this time.

Well, we've decided that it's best we split up. I don't really want to, but Kurumi wants to explore the entire ancient world, while I'm happy to live among the tengu, and train myself for the coming test of my abilities. Only 21090 years untill then, after all.

You know, actually writing out the amount of time I will spend untill I can save Sanae is just a bit

Will I even remember by then? I'm not even a 20th of that age. In comparison to it, I'm still quite young, in fact. Will I forget Sanae, and simply live life as an ancient youkai? On that note, I wonder how ancient youkai manage to not act old? Don't their joints ache? Sanae started to complain of joint aches as she aged... Do youkai never truely age? I mean, Rumia never seemed to grow any more than she let herself...

But still, I have to train. If I give up before I even start, I'll never save Sanae! If Yukari was unable to save her, I have to save her myself this time around! When time loops around, I shall have to thank Sakuya again. Although, first she has to be born, and grow into a fine young woman, followed by not growing at all in various ways.

I should really stop insulting the person who made this possible, shouldn't I?

Ohh, she doesn't particularly mind, young me. She has even said herself that the pads are strictly under the order of her mistress, you know? ...Wait, am I trying to talk to my past self? Mentally? I mean, yes, she too can read mind, but still.

Chuckling at my odd train of thought, I replaced to bookmark, and set the book to the side, before just about burrowing into my comfy silken sheets.
