He... said he loved me... while drunk, but if what Yuuji said is true, then...

It's been a few days, but I still kinda can't believe it. I hope he comes back soon. I didn't say anything else on the journal because I didn't want to make my own confession that way. I'd prefer to see him - face to face. Hopefully... it wasn't just a spur of the moment kind of deal. If it was... I'm not sure what I'd do.
[/Private]

Osamu, Kenya, and Yuuji - Thanks for your... sentiments. Though there were... embarrassing at first, when I look back, they are still embarrassing but amusing as well. Though can I hope that there will be no more in the future

The days have gone by so fast that I don't even know how long it's been. It's probably pessimistic of me to think that nothing's going to change, but I just can't help but feel that way sometimes...

Fortunately, I've been finding ways to occupy my time. Namely work, playing the piano, and... tennis. I never would have thought playing tennis again would help me forget, if only for just a little while. I've been playing almost everyday now and I'm slowly building myself up again. Most likely not as like I used to be, but it's a start. There's a little part of me that doesn't want Yukimura-kun to have an easy win. So, I've been practicing almost every chance that I get.

And playing again... is making me remember why I wanted to play in the first place. Maybe - hopefully - it won't fade away this time...
[/Private]

Osamu - Mom had a feeling that you weren't properly eating, so she's made food for you. Don't ask how or why... you know she has that sixth sense about these kinds of things. Anyway, I'll be coming by to drop the food off.

Kenya and Yuuji - I'll be coming to visit you guys. How the both of you got sick... do I even want to know? Anyway, I'll bring soup or something to help.

I haven't felt this sore in a long time... even while dancing... For the first time in a long time, I played tennis today.

I need to soak...

[Private]
I went though all of my old tennis things yesterday. It brought back a lot of memories whenever I held onto my old racket. I stared at it for the longest time, and wondered. Wondered about the "what if's" and what exactly made me stop. And as I really thought about it, I think it was after that time... back in freshmen year in high school. Sure I still played afterwards, but it wasn't the same as before. The feeling wasn't the same.

And as I looked back at old team photos and all the awards we won, it brought back all the better things that I'd forgotten over the years. And then, I guess out of pure impulse, I wanted to play again. So, I did. Went to the nearest court and did stretches that had come almost second nature to me, like dancing has become. I could tell, as I used the pitching machine, that my technique had rusted over the years of not playing. But as time went on, I felt it slowly return to me with each ball I hit back.

I'm still rusty... horribly so. And I'm not sure if I still want to continue playing regularly... but maybe once in a while won't be so bad. It certainly helped me keep my mind off of other things today. Tennis and the piano... and dancing. Along with everyone else who was there for me, those were the main things that kept me floating that year and years after.

Maybe it'll help again?

Finals... are finally over. I still need to pack few things for home, but.... I think I'll put that off for later. Right now, I just want to sleep.

[Private]
I don't think I had a decent night's sleep the whole week... maybe not even since I came back from home that one time. I nodded on and off, but most of the time I was either studying or... worrying. Things are taking their toll on me again, but I'm glad that the term is over. And that I get to go home for the break.

Getting away from here... will be good for me. Even though my parent's house isn't that far from here, I still won't be staying here... where the memories continue to haunt me. I know I said I'd wait, but how much longer can I last? I guess only time will really tell...

Finals are coming real fast and I've been studying like crazy for them. Usually I would have taken time off from work to study, but I think taking the break from studying would be a good thing. Wouldn't want to overload my brain too much. Besides, I've been using part of work time to practice with a small group that I got together for the cosfest that's supposed to be on Saturday. Which reminds me... Yuuji, I kinda need to see that costume you were going to get for me so that I can see if I can actually dance in it... it better not be pink or purple either...

And it seems that everyone's going to some exciting places for the break. As for me, I'll most likely be just going home (which isn't that far from here actually) and spend the break there along with working at the studio. Should be a relaxing break, I think.

For now... I think I'm gonna play the keyboard a little...

Imagine my surprise when I bumped into a familiar face last night while I was getting something to eat at the school's cafeteria. I'd never imagine Oshitari Yuushi working behind the counter and serving up dinner like it was the most casual thing in the world. He and I did a little catching up after his shift and it was just nice talking with him in general. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to snap a picture of him with my phone, but if anyone wants to see him in full decked out cafeteria uniform, then just stop by~ I'm sure he'd be happy to ~~serve~~ see you there.

Other news, I received one of the best gifts this morning from Ryoma-kun and Akazawa-kun. Never in a million years did I ever imagine myself being the owner of a Yamaha keyboard. Now I get to play whenever I get in the mood to, without having to go to the campus' music room or home. Thanks a lot you two! I'll have to remember to bring some music sheets the next time I go home...

Everybody else who gave me something on my birthday or within the last few days, I really appreciate it~ ^__^

[Private]
He told me that he wanted to talk, but it doesn't seem like he's quite ready yet... Otherwise we would have talked already, right? But I did say that I would give him all the time he needed, and I will. But sometimes I can't help but wonder.... How much longer is he going to make me wait?

I don't know what I'll be doing for the break that's coming up after exams... Most likely I'll be staying at home and working or something... A little boring, maybe, but it would be relaxing... albeit lonely. *sigh* Well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

So, it's my birthday today... and the Shitenhouji tradition still lives on...

I swear I'm going to get you guys back for this. Out of all the things you guys could have done, you had to dye my hair, huh? And did it really have to be green and pink? I feel like a walking watermelon... seriously. I didn't even go to classes this morning, deciding that it was time to invest in some beanies... At least I was able to get some new things along the way. ~~This better wash out soon.~~

Besides that, I woke up to Kin-chan with cat ears and the biggest smile on his face... and then he proceeded to yell (very loudly) happy birthday to me and unbirthday to himself, ending up in waking probably everyone else in the suite and possibly the whole dorm... I apologize to everyone if he did. ~~But he seemed so happy that I didn't have the heart to tell him to keep it down...~~

Are there anymore "surprises" that I should know about?

Forty-seventh

2008-04-10T02:29:22Z

I've returned to the dorms~

And I've brought back a lot of my mom's homecooking, so if anyone's hungry just come on over. Oh! And she gives her regards to everyone and don't be surprised if she pops up every now and then using my journal... >>;; She also wants to know when everyone will be coming over to visit her. I told her I'd get back to her on that.

Other news, I know I'll have lots to make up since I missed two days. Hopefully it isn't too much...

Kenya! I saw those vids! Your mom particularly enjoyed them as well~

[Screened to those who spoke with my mom and/or know about what's been going on with me]
Sorry that I just disappeared out of the blue like that. I guess... I just needed a small break, is all. If my mom hasn't told you already, I just slept for the most part while I was at home. And while I wasn't doing that, mom was shoving food in my face and making me eat.

But no worries~ I promise I won't do that again and will tell someone if I do plan on disappearing...

[Private]
The trip home... was something I definitely needed. The suite holds a lot of memories that make this time a lot more difficult than it probably should. I think I slept for 24 hours straight... the longest I've slept in a good while. At least my body is well rested now, though there are still slight shadows under my eyes.

Another thing that helped was being able to play the piano again. I haven't done that in a long time... and when I sat on the bench in front of our piano, I just started to play. Thankfully no one was home as I practically butchered any piece that came to mind. But after I familiarized myself with the piano again, the melodies came out more smoothly, key strokes more fluid...

It was therapeutic in a way. I feel better after playing then talking with mom. As always, she's the ever understanding one and just told me to keep on waiting if I love him as much as I say I do. So... that's what I'll do. I'll just have to try not to do what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks. Cause I know that the others will definitely tell my mom if I go downhill again...

Hello~!

2008-04-08T00:09:52Z

Hello everyone~

This is Shiraishi Nadeshiko, not Ku-chan. ^__^

I doubt he'd actually let me do this but I know he probably didn't tell anyone where he currently is. Imagine my surprise when he came home a few hours ago and not even saying a word to me. Just went straight to his room. He's been sleeping all afternoon...

Now, as a mother, I'm naturally worried. He usually doesn't come home like this... much less during the weekdays. He hasn't said much to me (which is a first), so I don't really know what's going on with him. I just hope everything's all right. My baby boy's been through enough as it is...

On a lighter note, I hope I get to meet some of Ku-chan's friends~ He speaks highly of the people at the university, so I hope I get to hear from some of you. ^__^

[ooc: Received permission from mods to post this~ And Shiku will make his own post sometime this week. ^^]

I feel like cooking... for some odd reason or another. And Kenya knows that when I get like this, I have a tendency to make a lot of things... So, although I feel like cooking, I don't like the idea of wasting all that food.

And since Kenya seems to think I need to get out more, he's going to drag me out sometime this weekend... He even suggested clubbing. I think I died for a second there because he never suggests going to the clubs. It's always me dragging him along. It must be really bad if he's doing that though...

[Ryoma-kun]
Thanks for talking with me earlier this week. I think... I really needed that. The assurance that things between us won't change because of what happened and whatever will happen.

[Private]
I saw the meme that was floating around... and decided not to do it this time. It brought back unpleasant memories, things that I'd rather not recall again... Especially with the recent happenings.

Restless and mostly sleepless nights... I'm still apprehensive about what he'll say. But if Ryoma-kun talks to him, then he'll know the absolute truth... What'll happen then, I have no idea.

I don't want to lose him... but if it comes down to it, I'll let him go... no matter how painful it may be...

Last night I told Ryoga-kun what happened Monday night between Echizen-kun and me... And he didn't take really kindly to it, and I didn't expect any less from that. I mean, okay, we were drunk but I didn't stop it until Niou-kun said something. What would have happened if we didn't stop...?

And not to mention it was with his younger brother, who is rooming with him. I wouldn't be at the dorm at the moment if it weren't for that fact... who knows what Ryoga-kun would do to his brother. And Echizen-kun still doesn't even know! But I plan on telling him soon as well. Maybe tonight... no, tomorrow. Right now I can't handle anything more...

He asked for time... and I will give it to him. All the time in the world. And, if it turns out that he... doesn't want to see me anymore, then I'll respect that...

Trust. That was what I suggested would be our first step. He trusted me with something of his and me, my past. And it was because of the trust that we're working on that I told him. I didn't want to keep that secret from him. I won't hide it. And even though the kiss happened because we got drunk, that doesn't stop it from being the one thing that I asked for to not happen in the beginning of this relationship... betrayal.

Some people may think that I'm being overdramatic, but they wouldn't understand unless they knew. I can't stand the thought of him hating me, but I did do something to warrant it. And I did take full blame for it too...

It hurts... Probably hurts more than it should, but... I love him. And I don't want to lose him...

Ugh... I don't even know what the hell I'm doing out of bed... Major hangover... Didn't I tell myself "never again"?

[Private]
One or two drinks, I said... and how many did I have? Didn't help that I agreed to the competition in the first place. And Marui-kun wasn't holding back on the vodka on most of those drinks. And I don't even remember much of last night... other than the competition and just throwing back the drinks that Marui-kun made. Hope I didn't make a fool of myself...

Feel like shit.... I should probably go crawl back to bed... after I take some painkillers...

The other night, Echizen-kun and I did some stargazing. It was a lot of fun~ I haven't properly stargazed like that in a long time. I'm not even sure what time we got back in, but it was pretty late. We should do it again sometime, Echizen-kun.

[Private to Echizen-kun]
It really was a lot of fun, despite how it started out. Though, I don't regret telling you about my past. Or anything else that happened to be told. Namely about your brother and I. At least, let's keep that one to ourselves, ne? I don't know what he'll do when he finds out you already know... And I'll be keeping my promise of not telling Kenya, so no worries on that.

Oh! And are we still on for clubbing tonight?

[Private]
I didn't think the night would start out that way... honestly didn't. But Echizen-kun was curious, and... it felt good to be able to talk about it to someone else besides Kenya, my parents, and Ryoga-kun. Maybe it'll help me in the long run? I hope so.

Oh! And Akazawa-kun? You can officially settle in now. You don't have to sleep on the couch any more. Sorry it took so long!

Happy Birthday Kenya~

Hope you like what I got you: New drumsticks,
gloves, and some grip tape.

[Private to Kenya]
I also got you this from that shop we found. There's an engraving on the inside too..."Always" You know that I've always got your back~ And thanks, for always being there for me... Through the good and bad stuff. Hope you have a good one~

I'll stop by, with dumplings, to save you from boredom.

Happy White Day everyone!

Passing out those gifts that I got everyone who had given me something on Valentine's Day wasn't so bad, since most of the people are in my classes. I'll just have to wait tonight to give out the rest (mostly to the kids in my dance class).

Miyuki-chan: I got this for you. Hope you like it~

Speaking of tonight though... going to do a little club hopping~ It's been a while since I did that.

Ryoga-kun: I got this for you. Thank you for the chocolate covered strawberries~ I loved them. ^__^

Somehow, Kenya managed to drag me out and play a game of tennis yesterday... It felt weird and nostalgic at the same time to play on the courts again. It's been years since I picked up my racket and played my tennis... And though I somehow managed to win 7 games to 5, it shows how diminished my game really has become.

I never really liked my tennis... "Perfect" is what people called it since I'd mastered the basic forms and fundamentals of the game. "The Bible of Shitenhouji" is a name I heard often while I played. But my tennis, "perfect tennis", is rather silly I think. I've seen the various forms of tennis that people have here... and their tennis amazes me. Always evolving and improving.

Can my tennis be like that? I used to always ask myself. It's already "perfect" however silly the thought is...

Maybe I should try and see...? But, do I really have the drive and determination to pick up my racket again and go beyond?

I'm just not so sure...

[Private]
The match yesterday wasn't the only thing that unsettled me... Despite Kenya being there for me, the dream returned. Or should I say nightmare?

I don't want to remember that time... It's the past where it should stay. How is it that one touch can make them come back so forcefully?

Maybe I wasn't as healed as everyone said I was...

So, yesterday, last night, Kenya and I just went driving around (mainly cause we were bored) and was able to find this accessory/jewelry shop that we hadn't seen before. We went in and they have the most amazing selections. I think I'm going to be their number one customer if they always have awesome merchandise like they did yesterday.

Although I knew I probably shouldn't have, I did buy this, but it has a tanzanite gem instead. No doubt I'll be going back when I get the chance.

[Private]

That second shop really unnerved me... Well, not the shop so much as the proprietor of it. He... ugh, touched me. And in a not so nice way either. That triggered unwanted things from my past that I'd rather not think about. I'm debating whether to tell Ryoga-kun about this, but I'm probably not going to. It's nothing for him to worry about. Though I still get chills just thinking about the creepy old man and his shop...

No doubt everyone's heard about what happened from Kenya, so I won't be repeating it here... Although I was there, I'm still having a little trouble believing that it was real...

But good news, for me at least, is that I finally learned Kenya's mom's dumpling recipe~ I made a batch yesterday and they taste exactly like hers. And yes, Kenya, I will share. Echizen-kun, Ryoga-kun, help yourselves to them.

Echizen-kun - I got you your new set of keys. And also this little keychain charm...

I saw it in the shop and thought it kinda looked like your cat, Karupin, so I thought you might like it.

[Private]
I didn't go to class today. I couldn't. Not when I saw him in that condition...

He'd come in at around 3 or 4 this morning. I haven't exactly been sleeping well since he'd left and last night was just the worst. I was just lying in bed, just waiting for sleep to come when I heard something coming from the common area... I went to go see and I couldn't believe it...

Black eye, bruises, split lip... I dragged him to my room so that Echizen-kun wouldn't have to see his brother like this. And I just couldn't leave him here by himself. So I stayed and watched over him. He mostly slept the day, which is good. I only stepped out to get some groceries and Echizen-kun's keys. Otherwise I've been here...

I'm still worried about him, but at least he's here instead of out there... But, I'm sure he'll be fine... hopefully...

2008-02-29T19:43:20Z

Miyuki-chan, I talked to the instructors... If you're free tonight, then they'd like for you to come in and show them what you can do. But it's only a formality... The job's pretty much yours~

[Private]

I'm worried for him... I know he said that I shouldn't but I can't help it. There was just something in the tone of his message that makes me feel apprehensive. I hope this bad feeling isn't as bad as I'm making it to be...

But at least I was able to spend some time with him the other day. He was able to get me to just forget everything and relax... I mean, the others are able to do that as well, but they way he did... I don't know. They just seemed to work faster than what the others do... which more times than not involve nagging and forcing me to stay in bed.

Melisande and Anafiel have spent the night with me and they've been a huge comfort. Though they do wander back to the other room during the day, but I don't mind since I'm usually busy.

I just hope he's all right...

[ooc: I know some of you may find this situation between them a little familiar~ For those of you interested/curious, I wrote a fic not too long ago that was actually pretty similar... You can read it here if you want~ ^__^]

I'm tired...

These past few days are taking their toll on me. I care about Kenya and Hi-chan a lot, but I have my limits too...

And somehow my mom knew... I fear her sixth sense. Either that or mother/woman's intuition... One call home and only a few minutes in, she tells me, or rather orders me, to take it easy and rest for the remainder of the day. But unfortunately I can't... I already missed work yesterday because of Kenya and his threat to sit on me if I didn't stay in. While I don't think my boss would really mind me missing another day, I just hate to disappoint the kids when I don't show up...

So, I'm gonna go in a bit. Gotta stay strong so that the others don't worry about me too much... I can do this...

Tonight's gonna be an all-nighter again, but I'll deal with it.

... Apparently I have the potential to be a model... At least that's what Yuuta says, though I'm not too sure myself. I doubt I'd get very far in that industry...

I didn't think Valentine's Day was as bad as I thought it would be... Certainly not as bad as others, I think. I did receive a lot of chocolate, but I don't think I'll be able to give them anything for White Day since majority of them didn't have any names... Though the ones that I will be giving a White Day gift will be for those who I know from classes and whatnot. Thankfully, it's not that long of a list~

The total lunar eclipse is Wednesday and I'm looking forward to seeing it. Jirou-kun, you'll still be seeing it with me, right?

Kenya - Remind me to thank your mom. One of these days, I'm gonna have to figure out how she makes those dumplings~

[Private]

I had a very pleasant evening with Ryoga-kun on V-day. It was just your typical date and some people might think it rather boring since it was just a dinner and a movie. But I wouldn't trade our first date for anything~

Ryoga-kun was very sweet. Although there were times I noticed that he was acting a bit... odd. But I guess it's because this is still new to him. Dating a guy and all that.

In the end, the night was as perfect as could be~

On a side note... I'm not sure how to make having Ryoga-kun and Echizen-kun's father here teaching. And I don't think Ryoga-kun has told his father about us either... I don't think even Echizen-kun knows, and he lives with us....

I guess I'll leave it up to Ryoga-kun to spill the beans.

I think I'll go take a nap before my next class...

Ryoga-kun and I talked and I'll honestly admit that it didn't go the way that I thought it would. I mean, honestly... Could I really have turned a straight guy?

But... somehow it ended the way that I dreamed that it would... We're together, nothing more and nothing less. At least... not yet anyway. I'm hoping that things will turn out all right. I don't know what I would do if something like the last time happened again...

Anyway, I emailed Kenya about Ryoga-kun the other day. Surprisingly, I haven't gotten a reply back as quickly as I normally do. I just hope he didn't flip out or anything when he read that I'm in a relationship again after six years... I know he's rather protective of me.

Well, as Ryoga-kun and I decided... one step at a time...

My professor had told us of a total lunar eclipse that's happening next week, February 20. If I remember the times right, it's supposed to start at around 7:45 pm. The total eclipse of the moon should go on from 9-10 pm, approximately. It should viewed in the eastern direction.

So that'll be interesting to see~ I'm definitely going to hang out on the rooftop to watch it. Bonus is that my professor is offering extra credit to those who do see it. Not much, but at least it's something.

[ooc: I've talked to the person app-ing Kenya and I've got the okay to post that bit of him. ^__^
Another thing is, the total lunar eclipse is actually going to be best viewed in the North America/Canada area~ Sorry to those who won't be able to see it! But it's all right if I do a little fib here, huh? XD]

I'm kinda wishing I was in Antarctica right now... There's an annular solar eclipse that going to be happening there tonight. If it were possibly, I'd definitely want to see it. But unfortunately, I can't.

However, the last couple of very early mornings have made up for what I can't do tonight. I've been observing Venus and Jupiter, both of which have been in view together these last couple of mornings before sunrise. And just recently, the moon has been joining them to make a triangle. I've found the sight very beautiful, but just a little tiring. It's worth it though~

Other news, it seems that someone has moved into the suite... who happens to be Ryoga-kun's brother if the resemblance is anything to go by...

I've also joined in with the Big Brother project. Hopefully I'll be a good big brother~
