Mirai Nikki RP

That hug... There was something conveyed in it, that forced the switch in Yumiko's brain to turn off.

"Th-that's never happened before. Whenever my PTSD tripped, I was always hated and shunned. This is the first time anyone, other than my first family, has shown me this type of kindness. It is almost as thrilling... as playing with my fake family.", Yumiko had thought in that brief moment of the hug.

Yumiko grabbed onto the clippers numbly, and set about following Katsuro's instructions in disarming the bomb. But she didn't immediately take off the bomb. She thought for a few seconds, whether to scare the crap out her brother for when he woke up, or not. She decided against it as it might lead to problems she didn't want to deal with. This was already so much to take in.

After receiving the paper with Katsuro-chan's phone number, and mutual agreement of sorts, Yumiko was pretty much back to her normal self.

"Mm. I promise that I will try to make it to where it's just you and me, onii-chan. And you always know where you can find me, if you have trouble as well. I'm not allowed outside because of my PTSD, but I can always try to help the best I can.", Yumiko said with a smile on her face.

Thinking of how sweet the hug was, Yumiko dropped the cattle prod and stun gun and hugged Katsuro-chan again.

"You're the only person who's shown me this type of kindness, other than my first family.", Yumiko said softly while hugging him. Yumiko then jumped a little and pecked a kiss onto Katsuro-chan's cheek.

"You should come back some time. I've had fun today, and maybe we might be able to play a less... strenuous game next time.", Yumiko said as she started to clean up, giving the hint that she didn't want to talk anymore.

**As Yumiko pecked his cheeks with her lips, admittedly his face flushed redder then they normally should have and the 17 year old teen shook his head. 'No, that's so totally wrong of me to think for even a second!' He reprimanded himself 'I'm 9 years her senior!' 'Yet, if one were to take away age...she's so refined as a woman you wouldn't believe the hardship she's had to go through.' And her saying "You're the only person who's shown me this type of kindness, other than my first family." It made him feel, special, wanted and warm.

There are two days before the Survival Game, in these two days there's no reason for anyone to fight. He walked to the door, with his intelligence he understood the hint that she didn't want to talk anymore and heck, she could change her mind if she wanted to.

"The same goes for you, Yumiko. You're the first person I've met that truly understands my dark, psychotic nature and who embraces it. You believe in me and you make me feel special. You're right, we don't always have to play the Survival Game." He smiled and he hoped that they wouldn't have to play that Game until they had to.

He then walked out of the door in the thick of night, making his way home and ignoring the criticism from his mother about being late and he plomped into the bed. Thinking about the day's events and specifically about the close call he had with Yumiko. "She specializes in Stun Weapons, close range combat. Meanwhile, my bombs take time and planning to prepare. And I myself am not overly strong and physical. And she can't leave her house, that's actually a strength for her. Whose going to bother looking in a house for a Diary Owner? Honestly, she's my worst opponent. But then again, I summarize that she'd be many players worst opponent. It might not be hard for her to keep up her end of the bargain. The problem is he, himself. He needs to find ways to compensate his weakness against close-range combat. "

He fell asleep thinking about it, letting the thoughts drift once again into his subconscious..

End Day 1 for Katsuro Kaneko.

After Yumiko had finished cleaning the mess, she went to her room, exhausted. She had left a note for her fake parents, saying that their son was studying in his room, and that the both of them had already eaten. Since it was close to 8pm, and her fake parents weren't home.

"They do this every day. After that first incident one year ago, they stopped coming home when I was still awake, and left before I got out of my room.", Yumiko said to herself.

Yumiko laid in her bed, set her alarm, and went to bed crying and thinking about her family. Her true family.

Arika flopped down onto her futon, dead tired from all the training that she had participated in during the day. She knew that she had pretty much gone off the deep end with her training, but she didn't care. All for the sake of preparedness, after all.

She sighed softly as the darkness in her room began to cloud her sight. Maybe she was overreacting. Maybe the text message was just a prank and nothing more. Still, it wouldn't hurt to be prepared, right?

"Never mind that, I'm sure everything will be just fine!" she told herself brightly. Choosing to remove her thoughts from the subject, she thought about the other things that had happened during the day that were slightly more pleasant.

"I wish my first duel with Silmeria hadn't been interrupted by the Kendo Club advisor... now that I know that she's skilled, I'm just itching to finish what we started! Hopefully she won't be too busy tomorrow." she murmured, recalling how she had chanced upon Silmeria practicing alone in the Kendo hall the other day, despite that Silmeria wasn't in the Kendo club. One thing led to another, and suddenly they were being thrown out of the kendo hall just as their duel started, and just because neither of them were actual members.

"I really hope she's free tomorrow. I want to see just how strong she is." she mumbled lazily as she slipped into unconsciousness.

Kishimoto Arika - Day One END

2/1/2012 7:00 A.M Tokyo, Japan(Home)--

Katsuro woke up and he followed his daily routine of kissing his black flower and admiring his room, his bed's red sheets and black blanket. "Darkness will protect me, it'll love me." Katsuro affirmed to himself and he smiled as he replied back to himself "And I'll protect and love Darkness."

Katsuro then got in the shower and he turned the nozzle as the Shower head began dosing him with hot water as he continued to think back to yesterday and how much fun he and Yumiko-neechan had together. "When have I ever had fun like that when my trigger is switched?" He asked himself. "If anyone else knew I had a trigger like that, I'd go in a mental hospital for 'observation' or rather my death. Since staying in a virtual prison isn't really living."

'Yes, it'd be living death. Perhaps that's why we were both chosen for the Survival Game. Since neither of us can live in the real world, we can live in our world that's secluded to ourselves to fulfill our fantasies and our dark desires.' Katsuro thought about himself and Yumiko nee-chan, a thought that became particularly nagging at him. It wasn't just because she had the same kind of switch he had, but because of her eloquence as a woman. It's wrong, but sometimes fate has a weird way of bringing certain people together.

He got dressed in a black suit with blue ties and matching dress shoes as he shook his head. "It's still crazy, there's no way that Yumiko nee-chan could look at you in the same way. Besides the fact that you're 9 years her senior, her dream and focus is on her older brother. She doesn't look at you in the same light, Katsuro-kun." Katsuro began talking to himself in the third person.

He tried distracting his thoughts by logging onto his computer and opening up some hacking and phishing programs and he had fun, this was his second adventure other than the Survival Game. The thought of just annoying fellow hackers and competing with them. Of course, he could lose too but it doesn't happen often.

"Katsuro-chan, breakfast is ready!" His mother called out and he frowned, turning back on his security system and he took out his suitcase with his bombs and he got to work on making adjustments for his bombs, changing the wires and even adding a fourth wire to the bombs. Making them more complicated for his opponents and especially for Yumiko-neechan.

"I'll be finished by tommorrow morning, just in time for the Survival Game." He remarked to himself and wiped some sweat. Those adjustments will help, but it still doesn't solve the question of what he can do against those who fight in close range combat. Yumiko-neechan still has the upperhand, he thought. Then he got a bright idea.

"If I can't fight in close range combat, I'll just keep my opponents away from me." And he started ordering some dynamite explosives and firecrackers. "These will help keep those who want to harm Katsuro-kun away." He clicked on one-day shipping even though it'll cost even more.

"KATSURO-CHAN!" His mother screamed and he got out of his psychotic trance "Hai~" He called out sweetly and he walked out of his room with his heavily armed suitcase and walked to the kitchen.

Silmeria worked to improve herself all day. After school, she went to the music room and did piano playing practice, violin playing practicing and even the flute. She then went out of the premises and bumped into some more girls who seemed to only slow her down... 15 minutes late. Now she had to practically yell at her driver to have the car go faster to her destination to her balled lesson. An hour or so after, Silmeria finished with her lessons. Next up was Math tutor, who was supposed to be coming at home to teach her.

She was late for this too, by the time she reached home, she was 2 minutes late. This was an example of absolute failure and imperfection. She made a busy person wait for 2 minutes... how inexcusable. It was disgraceful.

By the time her math teacher left, she was done sulking within her mind. Later at night, she felt too tired, perhaps her mind over-thought about the failure of today. She simply decided to go to sleep after looking at the entries of her diary.

Morning had came sooner than Yumiko thought, and she didn't like that. She had spent all her time asleep, dreaming of her Onii-chan. She dreamt all of the fun they would have, had had, and him becoming God. They were good dreams, but reality was terrible. Nonetheless, Yumiko raised up out of her bed and shut off her alarm. It was 8am, and everyone was already gone, so she stumbled out of her room to the bathroom. She took a look in the mirror, and gave a small yelp. Her hair was a monstrosity.

"Aww. Look at all of these knots and stray ends. I must have slept really soundly in order to get my hair this way.", Yumiko said to herself in the mirror. She thought back to yesterday, and she remembered that was the reason.

Yumiko gave a little giggle as she undressed. "So it was because of all the fun I had yesterday with Onii-chan.", Yumiko said as she started taking a shower and washing herself. It took a little longer than she had planned, as the knots in her hair were really difficult to get out.

Yumiko was in a happy mood that morning, because of yesterday. So much so, she decided that running around the house stark naked was the perfect response to how happy she was. Of course, she closed all the curtains as she didn't want anyone to look at her naked. She wasn't that happy. She made some quick breakfast, made from cereal and milk. She took them to the living room and sat on the couch. The fabric seemed quite different than when she wore clothes. It felt... good, to her.

Yumiko giggled again as she ate her breakfast. "I should do this more often. It feels so good to not have any clothes on, Onii-chan.", Yumiko said to no one in particular. After she had finished her meal, she took out her diary and flipped through the pages to the latest entry, and read it.

"Hmm. This is different from the last entries. I wonder why... but it says here that Onii-chan didn't have too good of a morning. He felt down and miserable. Aww, I better go cheer him up.", Yumiko said as she stood up quickly.

Yumiko hit the couch as fast as she stood up, clutching her head. "Aw geez. Head rush.", Yumiko said awkwardly. After the feeling subsided, Yumiko made her way to the entry way and was about to open the door. "Oh yeah, I haven't dressed yet.", Yumiko said as she headed back upstairs. Yumiko put on her most favorite clothes and underwear. ((OoC: The outfit in the picture of her.))

Yumiko ended up leaving at about 9am. She took care as she exited the house, after cleaning up her mess and hiding her diary again. She locked the door, and put the key in her hiding place, and then started walking towards where the Academy was. Or where she thought it was, at least.

2-1-2012 7:45 A.M. Kitchen(Breakfast)

Today they were having curry for breakfast, curry was one of Katsuro's least favorites ontop of that it's a heavy dish anyway you slice it. "I know it's not your favorite dish, but today is Lili's day for her breakfast." His mother lectured as he ate the curry, slowly and surely.

"Gomen nasai, Onii-chan." Hearing his sister say that made him think about Yumiko-chan again and how Yumiko-chan said that because of her PTSD, she doesn't get to go out often. 'come to think of it, when's the last time Yumiko-chan had a true girl friend she could talk to? Katsuro questioned to himself as he finished the meal.

"Lili-chan", Katsuro called out to his sister. "Yes?" She replied back. "Would you like to make a new friend?" "A new friend? Who?" She called out all excited. "New friend", "new friend", "new friend!"

"Her name is Yumiko-chan, she's a real sweet girl like you. But Yumiko-chan's been alone for a long time. I just made friends with Yumiko-chan yesterday, and I think she'd like another friend, a fellow girl friend." '

"If Yumiko-chan's been alone, then she'd like some toys." Lili-chan called out and went into her room and Katsuro smiled. Lili isn't like him, a stuck up intellectual genius with a psychotic side. She's purely sweet and wonderful and kind. The Survival Game though, took him away from this life.

He'll have to be wary of Yumiko-chan eventually. Hopefully they could fulfill their promise and only fight when it's just the two of them. Katsuro smiled though. For now, the Game hasn't started yet and Yumiko-chan needs love and affection and I want to give her both.

Lili: "So, you'll bring Yumiko-chan over?" He thought about it, Yumiko-chan said that if she left her house, her PTSD would trigger. "Most likely, we'll be going over to Yumiko-chan's." Katsuro answered back.

He then left the house and he began walking over to the Academy, making it inside the school by 8:30 A.M.

Yumiko had gotten lost, and stumbled her way to the shopping district. There she was able to get directions from the store clerks on where to go to the Academy. She had to make up a reason, so no one got suspicious. And there, she bought some food for her Onii-chan.

It is about 9:45am at this point, and Yumiko had finally made it to the Academy. It was a little scary at first, but she made her way to the main building. She didn't know where she was supposed to go, but she decided to just wander the first floor for a bit, and see if anyone might be able to help her.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the hallways at this time, and she just sat against the wall and waited until someone came into the hallway. Fortuitously, after a few moments, a student exited one of the classrooms, and she got up and went over to them. She asked where the Principal's Office was, as she knew he'd know where her Onii-chan is.

The student told her, and she made her way there, and knocked on the door. She was told to go in, and then told the principal her reason why she was there. She didn't tell him that she was looking for HER Onii-chan, but for Katsuro Onii-chan. She told hime something along the lines of having an urgent message for him from their mother. The principal said to wait, and used the intercom to call Katsuro to his office. It was going perfectly, except the getting lost and waiting part.

Arika had spent her morning training intensively, buying groceries for her parents, cleaning the dojo, and running laps around her house for stamina exercise. It was a wonder why she wasn't exhausted by the time she arrived at school. But then again, she really hadn't done anything more than she could handle; after all, a sensible martial artist pushes his or her limits without overexerting themselves.

She cheerily greeted a few of her classmates as she entered her classroom and sat at her desk. She opened the bento box that contained the last half of her breakfast and began eating with reserved gusto.

"I have to remember to ask Silmeria-san to a rematch today... Maybe during lunch." she mumbled to herself as the rest of the class began to trickle in for homeroom.

Principal: "Katsuro Kaneko, you have an important message from your mother " Important Message? He opened up his Computer Diary to try and make sense of what the hell was happening, mother didn't have anything urgent happening did she? His Diary told him that the best solution would be to go to the principal's office Sometimes I wish my diary could do more than tell me the answers to my problems Katsuro exclaimed in his mind as he jolted up and he asked the teacher for a hall pass. "But of course, Katsuro-kun" the teacher replied and Katsuro left the classroom, slightly wary of the fact that he couldn't carry his suitcase out of class.

It's okay, right? It's nothing to worry about. Then as he walked through the principal's office, he saw her...The little girl that captivated him, that was more of a woman than her age suggested and the girl that deserved in his mind all of the affection a young maiden needs in life.

"Yumiko....chan?" He stuttered, his face flushing a bright red as he looked at her. Because of her personality he could see both a child and a woman, no matter how illogical and stupid it is. Then, realizing the gravity of the situation he hugged her protectively "Are you okay? Didn't you say you couldn't go out of your house?"

Yumiko giggled a little. "I'm fine Onii-chan. Mom wanted me to give you a message. She said it was urgent, and that it was private.", Yumiko said as she got out of the hug. "Once we're somewhere private, I'll tell you the message. Okay.", Yumiko said with a large smile on her face and her eyes closed.

A Private message? For me from Mom? Katsuro thought, he then shook his head. In the first place, while he suggested Yumiko-chan playing with his sister, they didn't really know anything about Yumiko-chan and she shouldn't know anything about his house. But what is this private message? More and more, he was wishing he had his suitcase. Sure, they made a promise and he wanted to keep it with all of his heart. But did Yumiko Nee-chan want to keep it? As a fellow psychopath, he knew. That what we agree to one day we can easily reverse our decision the next if we wanted.

His nervousness showed as a drop of sweat ran down his face as he held Yumiko-chan's arm slightly. "If you don't mind sensei, I'll take my little sister out to the football field to talk." We had gotten permission and we had walked to the football field where it was just me and Yumiko-chan.

"What's up, Yumiko-chan?", he was surprised with how calm his voice sounded given how worried he was on the inside.

"Wow. This is what the Academy is like?", Yumiko giggled as she danced a bit.

"Oh. The message? It was just a lie. I just needed to get you alone, and cheer you up, Onii-chan.", Yumiko said with a wink and smile on her face.

"Oh, I also brought these here with me. I didn't know what you liked, but I just got what was cheapest., Yumiko said as she held out the bag she was carrying.

**As Yumiko -chan winked and smiled, he blushed a bright red again and he took the bag and he felt flattered and humbled** "You didn't have to do that for me" Katsuro said, trying to sound and look like the big responsible brother but he knew he was failing miserably."

"Did your Diary tell you the reason I'm upset, Yumiko-chan?" He thought that since they were alone and in private his hope was that even an 8 year old can bitchslap this stupidity out of him. Worse however, is if this got the authorities involved or something. Why is a 17 year old intellectual like me, so obsessed with an 8 year old kid!? Katsuro cried out in his mind, trying to fight against these irrational feelings.

[size=12]The rest of Dominic's day passed without much interest, the hours blurring into each other until he found himself in bed, staring at the ceiling. He fidgeted, tying his fingers in knots as his brow furrowed. Somehow, he felt exhausted. He sleepily opened his planner, trying to read the new entry, but he dozed off with it on his chest.

I want to hurt them.

The next morning went as any other. He greeted his mother passively and she hugged him tightly like he'd disappear. He ate toast. He unchained his bicycle. He rode to school. Despite these ordinary occurances, his stomach churned. Something wasn't right. Wait, did I check my plan -- He pressed the brakes on his bicycle, hard, his eyes widening at what he was seeing.

Shuuji with a group of guys. The others were laughing very hard, but Shuuji looked pissed. Yayoi stormed away from the group with watery eyes, a bruise on her cheek.

She spotted Dominic, her hands flying to her mouth. She ran over to him and her expression faltered, obviously on the verge of crying. Dominic put a comforting hand on her shoulder and sent a stony look over to the group, who had apparently seen him when Yayoi ran to him. They were still laughing.

"Yayoi. What happened?"

"Hmm. Yeah. It said you where upset because you didn't like having curry for breakfast. And it also said that Onii-chan was still worried about people like me. I don't know what specifically, but that's all it said.", Yumiko said bashfully.

She suddenly perked up and beckoned to Katsuro. "Ney, ney! I got something to tell you.", Yumiko said secretively, beckoning to whisper it in his ear.

He laughed and sighed and blushed at the same time I never thought Yumiko-chan would worry that much about me Katsuro thought and as she perked up and beckoned to him, his heart started beating doki doki and it got on his nerves and yet excited him at the same time. "What is it, Yumiko-chan?" He asked as he leaned down to her head so she could whisper in his ear.

"I hate curry too.", Yumiko said quietly. After which, she suddenly grabbed Katsuro-chan's head and gave him a kiss on his lips. It didn't last too long, but felt like an eternity to her.

She let go of his head, and started laughing. "You're the color of beets, Onii-chan!", Yumiko said as she was holding her sides.

His face blushed an even deeper red as she kissed him on the lips. What...? What's happening? My head suddenly feels dizzy. I wasn't even sure of how to go about these feelings for Yumiko-chan or if I should even tell her. But now....now it feels just right to tell her. He returned the kiss softly and as she said that about him he also laughed.

"Yumiko-chan...I love you". There, he finally admitted the most irrational thing that ever came into his head. The girl's 9 years younger than him, and heck she tried to kill him. But to be fair, he thought he also tried to kill her. It was in that moment of ectasy yesterday that aroused these feelings in him.

"I don't know why, but I can't see Yumiko-chan as a little child. You're so refined for your age it's unbelievable." He went on "And, you're the first person to ever accept my psychopathic side." He smiled.
