What the Hell Happened to Us?

*Taro*

Itï¿½s been really strange lately. Iï¿½m not talking about that lady either. There is something more happening around us. This has more to do with the Hidden Realm in a sense, while it also doesnï¿½t. I donï¿½t know exactly how to say this.

I see it everywhere. No one really notices anything, but they can somehow tell that something is about to give here. Makoto, Masayuki, Miyako, and even Michiro can feel it too. To be honest, this makes us all uneasy. We arenï¿½t the only ones either. Baby Doll, as I have noticed, keeps looking behind her at all times. I have only met her once and I can tell that she is not really human. I donï¿½t really know how to describe what she is, but there is something rather off about her. I think she can see it in me as well. Then, there are all of her roommates. I havenï¿½t met them personally yet, but I did hear a couple of stories about them from Masayuki.

ï¿½She says that they are all angels,ï¿½ he told me after school a few weeks back.

ï¿½And you really believe that?ï¿½ I asked. He only shrugged at me.

ï¿½Iï¿½m starting to,ï¿½ he replied. ï¿½Canï¿½t be too sure just yet.ï¿½ If this was a normal situation, I wouldnï¿½t believe what I heard. But after everything I have seen, I cannot be too certain. Then, thereï¿½s that woman.

I still canï¿½t figure her out. She wonï¿½t tell me anything about herself. Iï¿½m getting tired of her games to tell you the truth. However, I am running out of ways to avoid her. I have talked to my dad about what I should do.

ï¿½Why not try to ask her some questions back?ï¿½ he offered me in his study. I blinked at him.

ï¿½Huh?ï¿½ I asked. ï¿½Why would I do that?ï¿½

ï¿½Has she done anything to hurt you?ï¿½ dad asked.

ï¿½No,ï¿½ I said.

ï¿½Has she made any threats?ï¿½

ï¿½No, but she is getting to be rather annoying. Ignoring her doesnï¿½t really work either; sheï¿½ll just keep following and trying to talk to me.ï¿½

ï¿½Then, try to ask her some questions. Maybe sheï¿½ll go away after that.ï¿½

ï¿½You sure? And what do I ask?ï¿½

ï¿½Anything, I suppose.ï¿½

I wasnï¿½t too sure about that, but by that point I just wanted that woman to just leave me alone. I forced myself to smile and nod at my dad.

ï¿½Thank you,ï¿½ I said. Iï¿½m still not sure, but anything just to get her to stop following me around, I suppose.

I happened to pause and look out my window. Funny. Now why does everyone have their lights on at this time of night?
