When Yuno thought back to the previous day, there were two thoughts which were the most prominent in her mind, and neither involved the crazed serial killer who had chased them down.

The first?

'He... held my hand...' It had been when Amano had extended his hand and wrapped it around her own to help her up, after heroically saving her. It had been warm and a bit shaky, and the tug he had given her was strong enough to get her back onto her feet, but still gentle. She kept playing that moment over and over in her mind's eye when she had returned home, and reading the entry in her diary about it. She was grateful that the diary had written about it by itself, she was too swept up in the moment and probably wouldn't have gotten it otherwise.

The second had been about the meal they shared together afterwards. Amano-kun stopped by a fast food restaurant on the way home, and they had both sat together at a small table by a window. Amano was too scared to go home until his mom returned - he didn't tell her so, but her diary did.

"You were really brave today, Amano-kun." She tried to reassure him, but he just shrugged it off. She tried to broach the subject of what he thought the diaries were for, but he didn't want to talk about it. It was a quiet meal, mostly, but even sharing a meal with him was further than she had ever gotten with him. It would definitely become one of her most treasured memories.

In the face of two very special events, was it any wonder that a serial killer out to kill them took a backseat for her?

"Still, I wonder what you're actually for." Yuno asked her diary outloud. She was very curious about it. She had thought it was something only she owned, yet Amano had one too? What were the chances? But she was happy that they shared something so unusual together. It was almost like fate was binding them together. Oh, but that serial killer had one too... and hitting it with a dart had killed him. Would her own do the same?

"Ah, I'm glad you asked that question!" A familiar voice said. Yuno yelped, startled, and jumped off her bed. A certain tiny, silver haired imp had appeared on the bed next to her.

"Murmur?!"

"Hey, you remembered my name! I'm surprised." The small girl grinned. "Well, the time's finally come to tell you guys about the diaries. We've let you have fun on your own for long enough, so just come with me."

"Where are we going?" Before Yuno knew it, both she and Murmur had been transported to a huge room. Yuno was standing on a platform, second from the left, and there were shadowed figures all around her. She had so many questions to ask, but Murmur was floating away from her, towards the figure of a rather huge creature in a throne who was making his entrance into the room.

"You must all be wondering what the meaning of this meeting is, and about the natures of your diaries. Allow me to explain..."

A/N: Sorry about the shortness of this chapter, but that seemed like a natural cut off point. The next chapter will be out shortly!
