Entry 4

.. 1 Month 1 Week

I met some new people today; Yako-nee took me to her detective agency, and I met the people she worked with. I could see their faces, which seemed strange to me. I couldn't see anyone else just a week ago, but I could see them. I wonder why. Why couldn't I see the other humans, but I can see these people?

The first person I met was an irritable guy named Godai, who I first saw yelling at someone else. He seemed really angry, with super-short dyed-blonde hair and lip rings and a red shirt that hurt my eyes. When we walked in he turned around to snap at Yako-nee and saw me. It was strange how he acted; his whole body seemed to freeze and he looked scared. After a bunch of stuttering I couldn't make out, he suddenly pushed past Yako-nee and left the room, shouting something about investigating over his shoulder.

He seems like a really uninteresting person. Hm… I can't remember his face right now beyond the blonde hair and lip rings. I'll have to try and remember next time. Not that I care if I remember, really; I just know it'll make Yako-nee happy.

But then I met Neuro.

His face had been totally blank, like an idiot, while Godai yelled at him, but when he saw me… His eyes narrowed and I could tell that he wasn't any kind of an idiot—I could sense strength and intelligence from him unrivaled by anyone else I had ever been around. It made me feel strange—like I wanted to withdraw from it, be cowed by it, but at the same time jump head first into that strength and claw my way through until I was on top. Neuro was interesting.

"Ah, Yako-sensei!" he said, the sudden power vanishing like mist. I couldn't help but blink in surprise. Gone, present, gone. Neuro was amazing. To be able to hide his power so perfectly… Neuro was very interesting. "Who's this you've brought with you today?" He stood up, showing off an electric blue suit with triangle buttons. Neuro was certainly unlike anyone I had ever seen, what with his blonde hair that looked natural and purple bangs, but that excited me too. Neuro wasn't like anything I'd ever seen. He was different. He stood out from the other useless human rabble I'd seen on the streets and through the window and on the television. I have to know more about Neuro. I want to learn everything about him there is to know—what makes him so different?

"Ah, Neuro, this is my little brother Sai!" Yako said, with that voice that said she was acting. I didn't mind though—instead it made me more excited. Neuro knew who I was then. Neuro knew more about me than I knew about him, and that meant that knowing him would be a challenge.

I want to learn everything about you, Neuro. Who are you? What are you? Why do I feel more kinship between you and me than I do with my own sister?

"Sai, huh?" he repeated, looking at me. The powerful feeling came back, and he glared at me with a smile on his face that can only be described as evil. His eyes glowed in rings, and his teeth weren't like a human's anymore—they were pointed and separated, like a shark but with fewer teeth. I didn't know why he felt this malicious air towards me, but I found myself smiling back the exact same way.

I've never been so excited in my life, Neuro. It's a pleasure to meet you.
