Kanako’s Diary

Entry Date: Unconfirmed

“The doctors say you’ll be fine in a few weeks. Is there anything I 
can do for you while you’re here?”

That Shinobu-chan…it’s nice of her to volunteer to take care of my 
affairs while I’m stuck in this damn hospital but personally, I’d 
prefer to keep an eye on how she handles them. I insisted on her 
calling me on my cell phone for every major decision to be made. It’s 
not exactly the control I look for in such things but I don’t really 
have much of a choice, having a broken leg and arm. It’s a good thing 
my internal bleeding has been fixed.

I’ve only been able to get the strength to move myself about recently, 
after that little incident. Aoyama…I hate being hammered like that. I 
hate her even more. Her bitter insistence on getting rid of me is 
completely insane. She broke my leg, my arm, caused various internal 
organs to bleed badly. I don’t have the strength to fight back, not 
yet anyway. I’ll have my revenge soon enough, I just need to get my 
strength back. At least she didn’t break my favorite naginata.

She broke my right arm but at least I can still write with my left. I 
never thought I’d be so thankful for being ambidextrous. I will have 
my revenge, you mark my words. I’ll make her know what it is to call 
out for, to beg, to pray for death. I still can’t open my left eye, 
damn glass hard must have got to it somehow when she blasted me out 
the window. Oddly enough, I am sure she was out to kill me that time. 
I could almost see that light at the tunnel people say you see before 
you die but…I’m alive.

I guess whoever is up there doesn’t think I’m done yet. Or whoever is 
down there is afraid I’ll take over.

I have entrusted the renovations of Hinata Sou to Shinobu-chan, 
hopefully it doesn’t keep her too busy. If anything though, it’ll help 
Miho-san spend some time with her own son. Shinobu-chan says 
Shinji-kun spends too much time with her so this’ll be a good 
opportunity. Damn bloodstains. I have an eye that is temporarily 
blinded and my other seems capable only of seeing red. I hate red. 
I’ve always hated the color red, the color of passion and of love. Two 
things I never had in my life.

Aoyama…she’ll pay, I swear it.

I hate feeling like this, being like this, I have being vulnerable. It 
doesn’t feel right, my body being incapable of fending off attackers 
by itself. I half-expect Aoyama to come charging in with her katana, 
ready to send me to the next world. Damn it. My kidneys are still 
healing but at least they’re functioning properly. There was something 
strange about those two, I was certain Aoyama would have killed me 
then and there until Shinobu-chan stood in the way, if I wasn’t 
hallucinating from blood loss.

There was that look in Aoyama’s eyes, something I couldn’t quite 
place. What it is, I have my suspicions but I’d rather not inform 
anyone of them for now. For the time being, I have to keep a lot of 
things to myself. The past seven years, my suspicions, my secrets. I 
hate to say this, to even think this, but I have to find Kana again. I 
have to be sure that what he said wasn’t just the ranting of a madman. 
Why am I obsessing over this? It makes no sense. Why do I feel so cold 
towards every other kill and yet my conscience won’t let up on this 
one? Is it because he was connected to…Shinobu-chan?

I don’t understand it. Why do I feel so…alive when I’m around her? I’d 
wake up in the middle of the night with the insane desire to hold her 
in my arms, to just hold her to me. Why do I feel so alive when she 
visits me in the hospital, with those red roses? I hate red, I don’t 
like roses too much either. Why do I feel this way? Why do I want to 
be around her? And that time in the park…my arms around her…I almost 
drew myself in…I could see her going the same way…damn it! What is 
wrong with you Kanako!

Bah! I need my painkillers. I still have a revenge to plan…
