Yoko sat playing with simple playdoh, something she highly enjoied playing with, in the house she shared with Yojiro. A woman sat nearby reading a book, commenting every so often to Yoko. "Hai, hijo ni kireidesu Yoko.(1)" She said as Yoko showed her something she had made from the stuff, a little camera like the disposables that Yojiro used sometimes. "Ani.. Watashi wa ani o minogasu..(2)" She said softly as she began to sob, rather sudden as a change of mood it was the female only patted her on the back and let her hg the young girl. "There there dearie, I am sure Yojiro-sama will be back soon and then everything will be as it was." She said and Yoko sniffed, it seemed to comfort her that this woman said Yojiro would come back soon. "I miss him.." She said in that soft, ghostly little voice of hers.<br/><br/>Later in the evening as Yoko was getting out of the tub and dressing for bed, the older woman called her. "Yoko dear, I've got a surprise for you!" Yoko smiled and came down, looking curios at the small package she held. "What is that Ms. Hinageshi?" She asked, her voice still soft and ghostly, though almost of a normal pitch now. "It's from your brother dear, He sent you a present." Yoko's eyes lit right up as she was told this, and she eagerly took the package nad opened it, only to seem confused at the contents. "A dairy?" She questioned, but she held it tightly. "mm Well maybe he thought you'd like it dear, it is old and rather pretty looking, why don't you go write in it and I'll lock up the house for bed." the older woman said as Yoko headed upstairs to bed.<br/><br/>During the night she was plagued with dreams, dreams of Yojiro actually..<br/><br/>"Josei.. Kimono no josei ga.. Yoko.. Tasukete!(3)" Yoko sat up in bed, nearly screaming: "Ototo!(4)" She panted, she saw her brother runnign for his life while something. a kimono.. chased him.. then.. then.. It was gone.. "ototo.. Where are you ototo?" She sniffed and looked at the diary, which was suddenly open despite the fact she knew she had closed it.. Even stranger was the fact that her handwriting was in the book, her kind of sloppy script, with her full name and everything, exactly like she would write if she ever did write. Yojiro always used her full name on papers too.. "Brother.. what is this thing you've sent me?" She whispered, though the older woman came up just a moment later. "Yoko dear! Are you alright?" To which Yoko nodded at the concerned woman. "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare again.." The woman smiled at her and sat on the edge of her bed. "Now daerie, remember what I told you to get rid of those aweful bad dreams?" Yoko giggled. "Laugh at them and they will hold me no sway." She said as the woman made funny faces which made her laugh happily, and afte a round of laughter, the woman kissed her forehead and tucked her back in. "Now you get back to sleep, and save writing in that book for the morning alright?" She said in a playful little scold, closing the diary. "Yess Ms. Hinageshi, Good Night." She said as she rolled over and fell asleep.<br/><br/>Though she woke up again early that morning, she dreamed of Yojiro again, the same scene once more, something was going on adn she had to find her brother.. 'Something terrible has happened I just know it..' her mind whispered to itself. She grabbed a simple backpack, stuffed a couple of things like a flashlight and the entire contents of her piggybank (all 54 Yen of it) and the Dairy, she tiptoed downstairs in that silent way she had, grabbing some snacks from the fridge in a surprising amount of coherence for her. Though one could argue that her worry for her brother was actually allowing her to focus on this task. Yoko knew how to drive and she actually had a motorized scooter, for her good days when Yojiro would let her drive around or go to the store. She took her cell phone and the keys to said scooter. Ms. Hinageshi would wake up later to a note that said that she was going to take the book to a shrine in town and would return later. As the note appeared coherently written the older woman just sighed, Yoko had her moments so she wasn't that worried. "I will pray for you dearie, get home safetly." She said to thin air.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Translations</div><div class="spoiler_body">Yes yoko, that's very pretty.<br/><br/>Brother..
