Yumeno Kyusaku: The Diary of a Monster

8

Today is adoption day.

Natsuchi was sad when I told her I had to go use the bathroom, but she said to be careful not to be seen that way I wouldn't be adopted.

But I don't get what's so bad about being adopted.

I don't want to ask Natsuchi because I think it will make her uncomfy, but who else can I ask?

Maybe I can ask Kyoko? Still though, there is no guarante she'd know.

I.... Refuse to talk to their brother. We aren't on the best of terms.

E-San caught me on the stairs so I have to go down into the parlor now weather I like it or not. I'll be back.

I'm back now, I'm sitting in a corner in the parlor as adults walk around and stare at the children. I heard someone whisper to someone else that it gave the adults pleasure staring at us.

I don't like the sound of that.

There is one man in particular who I've noticed a few times. He's wearing a big white coat. And his eyes are a dark pink color from what I can see.

He has a blonde girl with him. She looks fancy and sort of like a prick.

Natsuchi taught me that word this morning, "prick." It's an insult.

The blonde girl keeps eyeing me and looking away, almost like she's pretinding not to stare because she's trying to hide something.

She is being obnoxious. (they meant to say obvious but they got the word wrong)

I don't like it.

E-San said I had to stay here the whole time or I would get punished, but at this point, I don't care. The stares are giving me a bad feeling.

I am back once more now. I left and ran back to Natsuchi and I's bedroom. Natsuchi was sitting on her bed, reading a magazine. There was a naked man on the front. You could see his lower half.

"What are you reading?" I asked.

Natsuchi looked at me, smiled, and put the magazine down. "Hey, you're finally back! Took you a while, huh? Are you alright? Didn't have an.... Emergency, did you?" She asked, looking down somewhere.

I felt myself turning slightly pink and so I did the only thing I knew how to do. I hid in the corner.

She giggled and sat next to me. "I'm sorry, I was joking. It's adorable how you get so flustured though."

I told her how E-San had seen me on my way back from the bathroom and how she'd made me go downstairs. I also told her about the two people staring at me constantly and how I felt like I'd seen them before.

"It's probably some old pervert with a big dark secret who wants to rid you of your freedom and hold you locked up in his basement and his dumb daughter who he calls his wife and she helps him with things because she's not actually his daughter but something more valuable to him than that."

Natsuchi wrote that part.

"That's probably not it," I said.

"How could you doubt me? You love me," Natsuchi replied.

"Well, you're right on that."

"I know. I'm irresistible!"

"That could be concerning depending on how you look at it," I told her.

"Yeah well it's not like we're together or anything. But it is fun to imagine you being jealous."

"I never get jealous," I answered.

"Yeah and you'll also never be adopted."

"Good. I don't ever want to leave you. You're my best friend."

"Ouch. Friend zoned. Oh, the pain!" Natsuchi said dramatically.

"You know what I meant."

"Yes but I also know what you said."

"True, but still, you know what I meant. One day soon we'll get to be more than that, but not right now. We're too little."

"If we were ten years older I'd kiss you!"

"We have to wait ten years to kiss?" I asked surprised.

"Well, we could do it now. But if we were ten years older, we'd be able to tell people about it. If we do it now, it'll have to be our little secret."

"That's fine. I'm great at keeping secrets," I said.

"Good then."

After she said that, Natsuchi looked at me and leaned forwards. And then, she kissed me. Just like that!

I'm not sure what I was supposed to feel in that moment, and I don't think I'll ever figure it out, but I still felt something. It felt kind of nice, but also wrong at the same time.

Oh well, it's not important now.

Anyway, we spent the rest of the day talking and Natsuchi told me about sandwiches and the body parts of a male as they age. It was all very interesting.

And now, it's nighttime and we're both in bed. I have a really bad feeling about tomorrow, but maybe it's nothing. Hopefuly it's nothing.

Do I like Natsuchi? I think she likes me, but I can't tell. There's this small feeling of happiness I get around her, is that liking someone?

I don't know, but I'll have to save my questions for tomorrow. E-San is checking on the kids and I'm supposed to be asleep. Goodnight!

A note from the publisher: After this part, a few sections of the diary were damaged severely, and it has appeared to be on purpose. I was able to recover most of what was written, but not all of it. I do hope you understand.

Author's Note:
Emo Girl by MGK is stuck in my head.

Also, Sunday I have a family get together thing so I probably won't have service all dang day. Sorry.

But anyway, to the important stuff, I want to know something.

What are your opinions on Natsuchi?

I ask this as I'm well aware only one person will most likely answer this question and everyone else with just ignore it ;-;

But anyway, WC- 1000 words

Now goodbye, weirdos.

(Also this is random but if you enjoy music then please go check out the kids in Junior Eurovision this year because they are unbelievable!! -Video above is one of them- and there's only sixteen, with maybe a four minute video each if you're pushing it. We have ten year olds representing entire countries here, so just cheer them on a bit. Junior Eurovision is December 11th btw (as far as I know))
