I had leaned up against one of the sheds walls and eventually fallen asleep. I had dreamed about the man in the trench coat and his crimson eyes beckoning to me. I was standing on the plank of a ship. And instead of it being in the water, it was in complete darkness. But he, the man in the trenchcoat was gliding through the darkness. He told me it was safe to jump. And if i did i wouldn't regret it. He seemed happy in the darkness, so i too jumped. But i didn't fly like he did. I fell, and i wouldn't stop falling. Eventully i woke up. I woke up with crusty eyes and a sore throat.

I wandered through the darkness of the shed, finding my way by the feel of the walls. Maybe i should have just gone outside with him. Maybe i could have seen where we were. Maybe i could have escaped by now.

I reach the door and place my hand on the knob. If only it would open. What if it did open? Then what? Where would i go? Where would i end up? Would i live? Would i die? If i died would people miss me? Would my classmates miss me? Would my dad cry at my funeral? Would my dad even show up at my funeral? Whould i get to see mom again. Would i be happy?

Tears fill my raw eyes. Well now see what you've done, Nanami. You thought too hard and made yourself cry.

The knob in my hand turns, and i jump back. Then i see him. Bandages on his face and forearm. A fresh, clean outfit. The moons light tracing his slender body. An odd expression on his face, one i've never seen before. One i cannot explain.

"Seems that you're awake. Sleep well?" His voice echos in the scilence

"Fine actually. Not that it's any of youre business." I think of when he apologized.

"Well aren't you a character." He replies smugly. "Are you prepared to have a change of scenary?"

He said he would be back, to bring me somewhere more suitable. Where could that be? Before anything else i need some answers.

"What are you gonna do with me? Why am i here? Where's the man with the blonde hair and red eyes? Also, who are you, really?"

I burst with questions and he just stands there. Damn him.

"Youre so tense, perhaps relax a little? You'll be here for a while, afterall."

That's what he thinks. God, i can already tell i hate him! Why can't he just answer my questions! Why is he being this way?! Oh right. Maybe because i brutally attacked him with a peice of glass.

"Just answer me! PLEASE?!" He stares at me with what looks like pity. And those cold eyes of his cause me to shiver. At least it feels that way. "Please! I just wanna know what's happening" i try again.

"Very well." He leans against the door frame, crossing his arms. "I feel as though it would have been obvious, but you must be a slow one"

COME ON! I swear im gonna strangle this guy before he tells me what i need to know!

"Your father owes some one i know an abundance of cash. And until your father can repay that cash in the exact sum, you will be held here. And as for the man with red eyes, he's... gone for a bit. And i'd rather him introduce himself before i blabber off to you about him."

Of course that's why i'm here. The trench coat guy did mention my father when we spoke that night. But i don't remember much. It's a bit hazy.

"Also," he starts again. "We needed to take you unconcious so we do of course apologize for your body aching. You also may have a bit of memory loss." His eyes glint with humor. Now he tells me. What a jerk. But he did try to help me earlier. No, he was just doing what he had to. What he was told to.

"And what about you? You work for this guy and he puts you in charge of me while he's gone?" His eyes narrow Oh no. I think i made him mad.

His eybrow twitches just like it had during the door incident. And once again he glares at me through his silver bangs.

"He is not my boss. I am free to do as i choose. I'm just repaying a favor i owe him from long ago." I know there's something more to this, i just can't put my finger on it.

"And as you re probobly wondering, I am Tomoe" he points his finger at his face.

So that's this mans name. Tomoe.

"Well? Are you ready?" He does the same stance he did earlier, his arm up in the direction of the path. Stars lit above him, and nature behind him.

I look him up and down. To his frosty eyes to the bottom hem of his kimono. I will escape. I will get away from here, and as if my father would come anyway. Like he cares.

He looks to my eyes, seeing how i was looking at him, and in a second he's an inch from my face. And then he speaks using a tone cold as ice.

"I hope youre not sizing me up, because that would just be embarrassing." He pulls away.

My face turns hot. Oh, i'm gonna smack him. I'll do it. I'll really do it.

I walk forward only to see he's already ahead of me. Of course he doesn't wait. I could make a break for it when he's not looking. But how fast can i run. I suck at running.

"Also, don't think about escaping, there's no way you could get away from me. Before when you attacked me, i had no intention of hurting you, you could have at least heard me out. How idiotic of you, really"

Guilt washes over me. Why am i feeling this way? Maybe I should apologize like he did for me. What if he was telling the truth about not wanting to hurt me. I attacked him, so i'm the one in fault. No, i won't apologize, i'll leave things how they are. Well, i guess we'll see what happens? Won't we, Tomoe?
