"Are you sure you want to do this?" Rob said to me, his face concerned. He held the syringe in one hand, but he looked uncertain.

"Well," I said. "Since the alternative is death…"

"Whatever, you're so dramatic," he replied, popping the safety cap off the syringe.

I sat up and extended my arm. "Whenever you're ready…"

He slid the needle into my skin…and Daisuke and I woke up at 2:45 AM. He was in my room in a nanosecond.

"Was that…for real?!" he exclaimed.

"Um…" I replied. "I thought I was going to die! Just forget it, it's not something you really needed to know anyway."

"Then why…" he began, sitting down next to me. "…are you having nightmares about it?"

"The serum was a cure serum," I said. "But the other one…the one that can fix my symptoms…so I can touch people again…that one…the company has it."

"Then I'll get it for you," he said.

"What?" I looked up. "Are you kidding? They'll kill you!"

He laughed a little. "Um…yeah, of course! I was only kidding."

"Good," I said, sighing a little, and laying back against a pillow. "No cure is worth losing you."

I clamped a hand over my mouth. "Did I just say that out loud?!" I ran from the room and locked myself in the bathroom. I didn't go back to bed until I heard Daisuke go to bed.

But I can't forget the look on his face when he said 'I'll get it for you.' He seemed…like he really would do it.

Dark came back today, by the way. To my window, I mean.

"What is…the Nexus?" he asked me.

I narrowed my eyes. He's not supposed to know about that. "I can't answer that. You'll have to figure that one out for yourself."

"Fine then," he said. Then he got close to me and whispered in my ear. "Choose quickly. You're running out of time."

Then he was gone again.

What will I do (sarcasm)?

January 10, 2009

Today I accidentally took too much medicine. I felt really dizzy and then I started to do weird things.

Like, I was walking back to my room, and I started walking sideways. I started running into things.

Suddenly, Daisuke was there. He caught me!

"Wh-What's going on?" I asked him. He was holding me up.

"Kuri-san, are you okay?" he said.

"Daisuke, I…" I began, and then my head started spinning again, and I grabbed onto him. I was so close to him, and everything was spinning. I kissed him, something I've never done to a boy. I've been kissed, but I've never kissed someone else (not forcibly, anyway).

His eyes got huge. He pushed me off, gently, but abruptly, and ran to his room.

"ROBERT!" I yelled, running upstairs.

"What happened?" sighed my older brother.

"I-I just randomly kissed Daisuke!" I said.

"You didn't," Rob said, sighing again. "I'll go talk to him. You probably scarred him for life, with your kissing."

"Hey!" I protested. "I'm a good kisser!"

"Says you," Rob said. "I'll go ask Daisuke."

"Wh-What?" suddenly I got dizzy, and reached out and hugged my brother.

"Hey, Kuri-san!" exclaimed Rob. "Why are you hugging me?"

My voice got all high pitched. "Cuz I love you, silly!"

"Whoa…good thing you got away from Daisuke," said Rob. He threw me over his shoulder and carried me to bed.

"What are you doing? I love you, now put me down!" I yelled, in the same high pitched voice.

"Stay here!" Rob said, setting me on the bed.

I could here him as he went to talk to Daisuke in the next room.

"Hey, Daisuke," he said.

There was no response.

"I know you're upset," Rob said. "But she doesn't force herself on guys like that. She was under the influence of lots of medicine."

"I-I didn't even kiss her back…" Daisuke said in a voice I could barely hear. "I wasn't expecting it, and so I just ran…she's probably mad at me."

"First of all," Rob said. "I doubt she'll be feeling mad for a while. She loves everyone. Second, if you had stayed, you would have been taking advantage of her nearly intoxicated self. Then I would've had to kill you."

Shortly after that, I went to my birthday party, and afterwards me and my friends watched The Happening, which did not bother the guys-my brother, Daisuke and Satoshi (he came with Tiffany), but my friends and I kept screaming, except Amanda, who just sat and watched it like it was nothing. Which is creepy, if you think about it.

Daisuke didn't even sit near me, by the way, he sat on the other side of the room, with my brother.
