Chapter: seven
Japan's POV
The meeting was finished for the day, so I was talking with some of my friends over in a corner. When it was time to leave for dinner however, I noticed that there was something wrong. To be more specific, I had lost track of Koneko. The last time I saw her was not too long ago; she had gotten herself off the desk and was crawling into my briefcase, most likely to take a nap. But she was not there.
"Has anyone seen Koneko recently?" I decided to ask the people remaining in the room. Soon afterwards, they began helping me look for her around the room and in the nearest hallway. We must have looked for her for over an hour, practically tearing the room apart, but we found no trace of her.
As we looked and failed to find her, I could not help but become more and more worried about her. Once we were absolutely certain that she was not in the room, I could not help but think of all of the horrible things that may have happened.
Koneko's POV
I had spent the second part of the day asleep in the briefcase, but had awoken when I heard everyone else moving. So I got out of the bag to see what was happening, where I found the others talking to one another or leaving. What worried me though was the fact that I did not see Otousan or Pateras.
Looking over the room, I noticed several of the people leave through the tall doors. Thinking that maybe they forgot me and left, I got out of the briefcase and ran out of the door; following the other people.
The next thing I knew, I was outside the building, and completely exhausted. I sat down on one of the stone steps and watched as the people continued to walk down the street. My rest did not last too long however, because I soon found myself having to watch out for other people stepping on me.
As I dodged the people, I moved farther and farther from the building. The next thing I knew, I was surrounded by people not watching where they were stepping and I had no idea where I was.
After several minutes, I had finally gotten myself to a safe place by the edge of a stairway. Even more exhausted and scared then before, I sat down and tried to force tears back. All I really wanted right now was for someone to find me, especially since this was my first time away from either Pateras or Otousan. Where could they have gone?
The next thing I knew, I saw a couple of the people in the room looking at me. The smaller of the two then picked me up while the taller of the two, a man taller probably then even Pateras, told me, "Look what we found!"
The two of them then continued to walk down the street, farther from the building while still carrying me.
