Hitomi woke with a start, it was the first night in a week that she'd slept well. She was in a different room than the night before. ' How'd they move me without waking me up?' she wondered. For some reason Hitomi was totally relaxed, the most relaxed she'd felt in a while.
She stood up and found some of her own clothes in a suitcase waiting for her, ' How nice of them,' she thought sarcastically. She took out some clean clothes and went into her privet bathroom. She took a hot shower and got dressed. She came out to find food set out for her. It couldn't have out long for it was still hot.
She sat down to eat it. The food was great, 'It must be around lunch time,' thought Hitomi. She took some time while she was eating to go over everything that had happened over the last few days. More than any thing what had happened in the last twenty-four hours. She turned it all over in her mind and looked at it from all angles, but it still didn't make much sense.
She finished her food and set it off to the side. Then looked the room over again. it reminded her of a guest room, with a bed, a sofa, a TV, a small table, and a chair.
Hitomi laid down on the sofa and turned on the TV to see what was on, but she found nothing worth while so she relaxed and continued to try to figure the drastic turn in events out. Maybe If she could figure it out she could find some way to remove herself from it.

Yukari finished the meal Alex had made for her, and cleaned the dishes. Now she couldn't find anything else to get her mind off Hitomi. Then she remembered the diary, She ran into her room and pulled it out of one of her many clothes drawers. As she walked back to the living room she passed by Hitomi's open door, ' Hum? That's strange I thought I'd closed it after the police left?' mussed Yukari, ' I must be losing my mind,' she thought as she closed the door.
When Yukari got into the living room she stretched out on the couch and began to read:
It's not quite clear how it all started, I guess it began that day that I learned that Amono was moving. . . .
Yukari read Hitomi's account of her vision of a person she called Van, of her confession to Amono. Suddenly Yukari perked up:
Then the weirdest, and probably the most importain occurrence in my life happened. The stangest thing though is that Amono and Yukari have no recollections of it. Maybe it's best that way?
Then Yukari read of the dragon slaying, ' Has Hitomi lost it? If something like that happened I think I'd remember,' thought Yukari, ' What did happen that night?' She could remember up until Hitomi started her run, but she couldn't remember what had happened afterward. Right when Hitomi said the dragon had appeared, ' How strange. There's got to be a logical occurrence after that. There had to be something?'
Yukari picked up the phone and dialed a long distance call to an old friend. Yukari waited as she heard the phone on the other end ring, ' Please be home,' begged Yukari
" Mushi-Mushi," answered a male voice on the other end.
" Mushi-Mushi Amono," Yukari replied, " It's Yukari."
" Yukari it's great to hear from you, we haven't had a chance to talk for a while!"
" Well, I don't have much time now. I was just wondering about something," said Yukari trying to figure out how she was going to ask the question, " Remember when we were in High School?."
"Yeah?"
" Well, the night before Hitomi disappeared do you remember what she asked you?"
Amomo thought for a second, "Hai, she asked if she did the hundred meter in under thirteen seconds, would I give her her first kiss."
" Do you remember what the time for her run was?" asked Yukari holding her breath.
Silence for a second, "Nai, I don't, isn't that strange? I have no idea what the time was or weather I kissed her or not."
" I'm not sure she finished the run," whispered Yukari under her breath.
" Nani?" asked Amono.
" Nothing, thanks for everything," said Yukari.
" Sorry I couldn't be more help."
" That's okay, Syonara."
" Syonara." Yukari hung up the phone.
