Slowly, Himeko began to gather herself as she got up from the floor, the image she saw earlier not leaving her mind. In fact, she wasn't sure if it could leave her mind now.
"I'm going to tell Yuki about this in the morning. I'll do that first thing when I wake up." Himeko thought, heading to her bedroom.
She got changed for bed and climbed in. She laid down, closing her eyes.
"Can we get you back to normal, Kira?"

Yuki's POV
The next morning came. I was already up, dressed, and watching TV in the living room. As I watched TV, the house phone rang, so I got up to answer it. I walked towards the phone while another ring emitted from it, and once I got close enough, I picked the phone up to my ear and I heard Himeko on the other end.
"Yuki, I have something REALLY important to tell you!" Himeko said, a frantic tone in her voice. This could only mean one thing.
"You found Kira?"
"I did! Last night I took a walk. I don't know why, but I walked into the woods, and when I did that I came across a lab. I walked towards the back of it and saw Kira."
"That's great!" I said, my smile getting bigger. My wife will be home soon!
"No, Yuki....there's one problem. Kira's gone now. Completely."
"There's still hope left. I know it!"
"I really want to believe that, Yuki...but I can't. I'm sorry. I can't believe that after what I saw last night." Himeko said, her pitch softening now.
"So what did you see?" I asked, my hopeful attitude not waning. Not yet.
"Kira's hair and eyes changed color right in front of my eyes. Her hair became black and her eyes became red. She looked like she was in pain until it ended."
"Oh...but maybe there's still time left! We just have to get to her quickly."
"Why are you so hopeful?"
"I'm hopeful for the sake of my family and myself. We can't leave Kira to succumb completely to the serum. I'll think of a plan and tell you later. Thanks for telling me about this, Himeko. Good bye for now."
"Yeah....sure. See you then. Yuki, I don't want to fight her now, but I'm going to lead you guys to the base she's in."
"That's fine. See you later."
With that said, the both of us ended our call. Then I called Kori and Neon.
"Yuki?" It was Neon.
"Neon, Himeko said she found Kira last night."
"Really?! That's great! How's Kira doing?" Neon said, an excited tone in her voice. This made sense because Kira is Neon's best friend, but I'm not going to like what I had to say next.
"I'm sorry, Neon, but Himeko said she saw Kira change last night."
"Change? Change how?"
"Himeko said her hair turned black an her eyes turned red. Said she looked like she was in pain until it was over."
"...Oh..." Neon spoke next, the tone in her voice dropping from excited to more neutral.
