Insomnia - 7 Weeks [Love Live! Sunshine!!]

Log 5 - Kurosawa Ruby and Takami Chika

"H-hello... It's Ruby. Welcome to Log 5. Dia doesn't seem to be alright. Nightmares seem to be haunting her and she seems like she's about to loose her mind. She's constantly scratching her neck, which caused it to start bleeding.

She's afraid of looking in the mirror, so she avoids it at all costs. She's really tired. She constantly falls asleep, only to wake up shortly after due to a horrible nightmare. I can't stand to see my sister like this..."

"Don't cry, Ruby. We'll get through this. I'm sure... We won't leave Dia hanging like that!"

°•°•°•°•°

"Kya!" Ruby woke up due to a loud scream. It was the 7th time now. Her sister was in the bed nearby, crying. Dia was constantly waking up screaming. The horrible nightmares didn't seem to come to an end.

Hanamaru walked over to Dia this time. She sat on the bed. Dia rested her head on Hanamru's lap. Hanamaru was very tired but still managed to sing Dia to sleep while gently petting her head.

"I'm sorry, Hanamaru." Ruby tiredly said as her sister had fallen asleep again. "It's fine." Hanamaru simply replied. She was to tired to reply. Ruby understood that.

She was awake all night. Dia would constantly scream and woke the others up. The other 6 members must've heard it too. The outside walls may not let sound get through them, but the walls inside the building were thin.

It was morning now. It was Chikas and Rubys turn to make breakfast. "I need to get Chika now." Ruby said. Hanamaru knew that it'd mean that she had to be at Rubys side while she was going to Chikas room.

Chika and Ruby then lead Hanamaru back to her room, forgetting that Kanan would be all alone now in Chikas and her room.

Ruby noticed that Chika was just as tired as her. She didn't seem to have slept at all. "I'm sorry for Dia." Ruby quietly said as they prepared breakfast.

"Don't worry. She'll be fine. We'll get through all of this." That's what Chika said all the time. But will it actually be alright?

They were finished and placed everything on the table. They knew they'd all come now. They made a plan that everyone should be there at 9 am every morning.

Everyone arrived with their partner, except for Kanan, since her partner was gone. "Shit! I forgot about Kanan!" She face palmed herself. "Hanamaru, come with me." Hanamaru just nodded as a reply and followed Chika to the room.

To their surprise, Kanan wasn't okay at all. Just like Dia, she had been sitting on the bathroom floor crying. But unlike Dia's injury, she got a scratch on her face. It seemed fresh, since it was bleeding.

"Oh jeez." Chika kneeled down to Kanan and took a wet towel to clean the wound a bit. "Hanamaru." She faced Hanamaru and had a very serious expression on her face. "Riko and Yoshiko are in charge for the healthcare today. Shout for them to get here." Chika commanded.

°•°•°•°•°

"What happened, Kanan?" Mari asked with a worried look on her face. Kanan told them almost the same story as Dia. "I felt like throwing up, so I went to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror, when suddenly all my facial features where gone!

I then felt a sharp pain on my cheek, only to see a big, bleeding scratch on my completely white face." She cried.

"She looked at me in my sleep!" Kanan was hyper ventilating by now. Theg tried to calm her down but it wasn't really easy.

°•°•°•°•°

"Wait... where's Dia?" Hanamaru looked around as the drama about Kanan was over. "I got here with her together, I swear!" Ruby was quite startled. Her sister had been here just a second ago.

"Shit!" Chika shouted and ran out the room to find Dia. "Dia! Where are you?" She screamed for her, but didn't get an answer. "Chika, wait!" You catched up behind Chika. "Don't run off alone!" The rest was behind her.

"Who cares about that stupid rule?! We're only imagining things! We can be all alone! There's no one here! It is their plan, don't you get it?!" Chika shouted. This was driving her insane.

They soon found Dia, all crumpled up in a corner in the music room. "From this day on, everyone will sleep in their own rooms again!" Chika shouted at the crowd. "And I don't care if anyone goes anywhere alone! That rule is gone now too!"

°•°•°•°•°

With that, the next morning had arrived. No log was created that evening.

It was now Sunday. Dia was in horrible conditions, so we decided on letting her stay in her room. They'd bring her her food and all that.

It was too dangerous, so they locked her room.

It was Chikas turn to wake up Dia that day. The door was wide open when she went to take a look inside the room. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Dia went to the kitchen during night time. Somehow, she must've gotten out of there. Maybe the manipulator let her out to see what happens.

However, Dia seemed to have gotten a knife. The walls were scratched, sometimes there were words like "Help" or "Die" carved into the wall.

Dia was nowhere to be found. Chika already expected the worst to have happened. She walked around in the building. She walked up the stairs to the music room, when she heard someone rush up the stairs behind her.

She quickly turned around and blocked the attacker. It was Dia. As Chika pushed away Dia's arm, Dia began to laugh in an insane way.

"You think you can win this against me?" She had a cracky voice. She then let out another insane laughter as Chika ran up the stairs. Dia slowly walked up and let the knife scratch the wall.

"Stop it Dia! We're here for you to make it all better! " Chika shouted as Dia stood only a few steps of the staircase underneath her. Dia chuckled before her expression turned dead serious.

"Help me? I don't need any help!" She broke out in insane laughter again. "I'm completely fine."

"You're insane Dia!" Chika shouted. "Insane... Haha... Hahaha. Hahaha! HAHAHAHA!" Dia laughed as loud as she could.

She then held the knife directly at her throat. "I'm feeling perfectly fine! I'm so thrilled I could slit my throat open!" Chika quickly ran towards Dia. She wanted to get the knife quickly so Dia couldn't do anything to herself.

"I'm sorry, Chika." Dia said with a faint smile and tears in her eyes. "I can't go on like this. She's... haunting me!" Dia was going insane again. "She's behind me, in my dreams... and she won't leave!"

"Farewell, Chika. Take good care of Ruby for me, okay?"

Dia screamed as loud as ever. "STOP HAUNTING ME!" With that, Dia stabbed the knife right into her throat.

Blood splashed onto Chika. Chika couldn't move. Couldn't scream. Dia's knees then let go and Dia fell down the stairs.

That's when Chika screamed from the top of her lungs, louder than she ever did before.
