AN: The next chapter! Thank you all for your patience, and I really appreciate all the reviews you guys write, they encourage me! ^_^ This was episode 10, but don't worry, I won't make his diary continue all the way to episode 24! :P You'll see how it'll turn out, I already have ideas!

I hope the next chapter will be up soon!

Today was rather unexpected. The worst thing is that my brother Yuuki is in the hospital right now. But I couldn't believe it… Kotoko saved him. It was with help from me, but if she wasn't there, I don't want to think about what could have happened. It all started when I was just at college like usual, and suddenly got a phone call from home.

But it wasn't my mother, my father or Yuuki. It was from Kotoko. First I was really shocked that Kotoko was at my place, so I yelled at her, making everyone around me look at me. But then it became serious… It seemed something was wrong with Yuuki. Kotoko was really panicked, and explained Yuuki had thrown up twice since she arrived, and seemed to be talking about his stomach hurting. I explained everything she had to do, and she obeyed.

After that I hurried to the hospital. When me and my mother were at the hospital we were told that it was ileocecal intussusception, and Yuuki had to go through with a surgery. I had never heard of this ileocecal intussusceptions before. It seemed to be a kind of intestinal blockage. That really bothered me.

Actually I'm not used to not knowing something, and with that I'm not trying to show off, but it's the truth. I found out how scary it is not to know something. I went to Yuuki's room and sat down beside him. Kotoko was there too, and I talked a little to her. When she told me she was going to call her dad and ran away, that's when I realized how upset she was.

I didn't realize it earlier, but then it was all obvious. When she stood in front of the door, with her back towards me, rattling on about forgetting her phone and being an idiot, that's when a desire of wanting to hold her overwhelmed me. And this time I couldn't stop it.

That's when I also realized that whenever she cries, my emotions get stronger too. I wonder, if she hadn't cried back then, would I have resisted from kissing her? Ah well, it doesn't mind anymore. This time, I gently pulled my arm around her, held her close to me and thanked her for saving Yuuki. That's when she couldn't hold it anymore. She turned around and grabbed me around my middle, and she cried harder than I had ever heard or seen before.

I held her in my arms and comforted her, this felt so strange. I could feel my heart beat faster than it normally does. And a similar feeling returned. It was the same feeling I had after I had kissed her at our graduation day.

After she had calmed down, my mother called Kotoko's father. Her father came to pick her up, and then they went home. I went back with my mother, and had to hear her say how she wanted them to come back with us. Of course I wouldn't tell her I agree with that. That comment only will hunt me down forever. Well the comment wouldn't, but my mother would, you know what I mean.

I'm back home now, and ready to go to sleep. It's now even emptier at home without Yuuki. It's now just me, my mother and my father. I wonder how it is with Kotoko and her father, living there alone, just the two of them

Naoki

I spent the past few days mostly at college and at the hospital. Kotoko is there often as well. I'm actually glad that Kotoko is as stupid as she is. Her stupid words and actions make my confusing feelings fade away for a while.

She wanted to tutor the boy who's sharing a room with Yuuki. Non-chan, he's been admitted for a long time because of his illness. She didn't even realize how bad idea it was for her to tutor someone. A stupid person not noticing her own stupidity!

Normally I return on my own or with my mother, but this time I walked back with Kotoko alone. I think it'd be an uncomfortable situation, but we had something to talk about, so it wasn't much of a bother. In fact, she gave me an idea of what I could do with my future. And I have a feeling that this is what I'm meant for. First she started to cry because she pitied Non-chan. Just a few tears, so nothing to make my emotions overflow, hehe.

And then she suddenly was happy again, exclaiming that I could be the one who could help people like Non-chan. She said that I'm capable of becoming a doctor, and help lots of people. Now that isn't a bad idea at all, for someone so stupid. Tomorrow we'll be visiting the hospital again. Oh dinner's ready, gotta go.

Naoki

That's when everything started, Kotoko thought. Only those few words from her mouth, and look where they've stranded! Naoki is the best doctor in Japan (she was fully convinced of that), and she was finally capable of becoming a nurse, even though she had been a Class F student.

Today was Yuuki's last day in the hospital. That also meant goodbye to Non-chan. It's not that I like the fact that Yuuki had to stay in the hospital, but to be honest, I had a wonderful time these few days. Tutoring Non-chan, seeing him, Yuuki and Kotoko having fun. Even though they sometimes caused trouble.

For example Non-chan having a fever just because they had too much fun, or Kotoko and Yuuki having a kind of food fight. It felt disappointing when we were leaving. Ah well, everything will finally come to an end. But this is the first time I've seen Yuuki so sad. He hasn't had many friends, and leaving Non-chan was a hard thing. He cried a lot. And now, putting Yuuki's discharge aside, the biggest news of today. Kotoko and her father are moving in again. I can't believe it!

After dinner Kotoko went to do the dishes, and I went up to my room. I actually wanted to talk to her, so I waited till I heard her coming upstairs. When I heard her footsteps I opened my door (and startled her). But when I saw her, I just didn't know what to say. I ended up saying "What is it?", as if she was the one who wanted to talk to me. Finally the only words I could say were: "Don't cause too much trouble".

Actually they're words with no worth, but I could see that Kotoko could see the meaning behind them. I guess because I smiled. But she smiled widely and blushed. So I guess she knew the positive meaning behind my words.

Now off to bed, I'll write soon again.

Naoki

"Hey Kotoko! Will you come eat something with us? It's been a while since you ate today" Chris asked. "Sure! But I want to finish reading today, I'd like to go home tonight if possible.." Kotoko said softly. Chris smiled. "Of course! It won't take long!" Kotoko nodded, and followed her friend.
