Welcome to an Endless Sleep...

Wednesday... Sushi! YUM! happiness.. is fingertips that smell like mackerel. Shrimp seems to be only a memory *sniffs fingertips* oh that was good ^__^
Now um.. on other news.. not much really c.c funny how I have nothing to say.

Oh, I can stare at Shinji and Sengoku while i,M in front of my computer ^^ my bromaide cards are now protected safely and standing a few inches from my keyboard. Yay.

Yes, a ficcie that's very random. am totally improvising as I write. Do look back if it appears unfinished, as I have to restart my computer very often. it apparently can only download a few files before not cooperating *grumbles*

This sunday...

"Why did he use a lob then?" Kamio asked, seated on railing, seeming not to mind about the 20 foot drop that could await him if he stumbled backwards. "I still think a smash would have been better" he glanced towards the courts, blinking slowly.
"I don't think so" Sakurai shook his head. "Yoshido-san is one of the best at his level, so a mistake.. it sounds impossible... What do you think, Shinji?"
The group of three were in a heated conversation after witnessing a match that would remain engraved in their minds. They all thought that they could be playing here a few years from now, observed by many people, showing their fully bloomed talent.

"...I wonder if the other match ended.." was what Shinji murmured.
"Tachibana-san and the others went to see it, so they're probably going to tell us how it went" Kamio assured him.
"Two promising matches in the same timeslot... I guess we had to choose which to watch" the brown-haired one mourned. "I'm not dissapointed in Yomiyama gakuen's players, though. They did show us great matches" he nodded to somehow emphasize his point.
"...it wasn't a mistake, that lob." Shinji murmured. "Sugimoto shouldn't have been able to return it properly from where he was... that point was just luck, you know?"
"Exactly as I thought!" his companion nodded, still on his perch.
"..and it's hot. I'm thirsty" a slow mumble. "...where are vending machines when you need them?"

They all planned to come and watch this tournament today, looking forward to it since last week. It was what their thoughtful captain arranged for them all to get ahold of their dreams. Not that they wouldd ever let it fly away.
"Tachibana-san!" having spotted him, Kamio waved them over, and the group of three got twice as big. "What took you all so long?"
"It's his fault!" Uchimura pointed an accusing finger at Ishida, who immediately retorted the opposite. "Ishida! you're the one who gave the wrong box to Mori!"
"...aren't you the one that put a handful of anchovies in it?" There seemingly was no way to make the blame fall on the tall youth.

Watching the scene, Shinji commented "That's karma, isn't it...?" in the back, Mori was avidly drinking from a large bottle of water.
"It had to happen someday" Tachibana shook his head. "In any case, everyone! Let's find a spot in the shade to eat!"
"Hai, Tachibana-san!" they all answered in one voice.. except for Mori who was still seeking to put an end to the fire in his throat and hope to rehydrate it one day.
They ended up around one of the picnic tables which sat under the small roofs, protected from the sun's glare.
"I still think no one can compare to Yaminori!" Uchimura insisted before going on a long commentary of the seemingly flawless play put by the school's players. "It's not that their opponents were weak, but these guys were just too amazing!"
"..hm... I'd have liked to see them too.." Shinji was apparently slightly envious.
"I don't think anyone comes up to Yoshido-san's ankle" Sakurai's belief was unshakeable. "His topspins are really something else!"
"It seems like both these school's matches were as equally pleasing and entertaining to watch" Tachibana commented. "...Mori, you might want to eat..." he sweatdropped lightly, the dark-haired youth still attached to the can of energy drink he had gotten after running out of water. "This is not proper food"
Uchimura looked down, bending his cap over so it his his eyes. He didn't intend for it to happen this way. It seems sunday pranks were never as sucessful as other days.

Mori finally ate some onigiri only because Sakurai continuously insisted for 10 minutes. When everyone was satisfied with their meals, they decided to split up and check out the various schools that were present.
Shinji and Akira decided they were going to follow in Tachibana-san's footsteps, and so stuck with him as he went from one team to the other.
Ishida and Sakurai decided that they would play as doubles, and so hurried to try and get ahold of Yaminori and Yominama's doubles players.

As for Uchimura and Mori, they decided to would be better for them to try and go where their pranks wouldn't get them in trouble.
They had a lot of searching in front of them...

um, yeah.. did it appear sorta weird? That's it though. Um... yeah. My last one was better, but it's probably because that one's inspiration contantly got killed by stuff happening x.x;

I found the coolest tachibanapic ever but the link won't work for some reason.. poke me on AIM if you want *.* This here only because some may want to entertain episode 64 flashbacks
Wow, Jiro's awake again.. wonder how he'd look with glasses
Aww... is that some after-Tachibana grad drawing? Sorta.. sad but cute too.
Aw.... poor Uchimura ;_; He does look like a dwarf when close to a certain giant ._.

Under the Wet Leaves part 2

"...whoa....." Uchimura was frozen, staring in awe at what was before him.
Beside him, Mori was leaning against a trunk, smiling lightly as he observed the smaller one's reaction. The rain didn't fell as much, the countless tree leaves protecting the ground from most of the water drops falling from above.
A few feet in front of the two , one of the largest tree stretched its roots across the ground, like a wooden spiderweb. It was as if this large patch of green and brown claimed itself the king of this forest.

"This is the biggest tree I,ve ever seen!!" Uchimura suddenly snapped out of his admiration to run towards it, looking up.. and up...
"See? The ground at the base of the tree is dry." Mori pointed out. They could both sit there and wait.. or just do whatever they wanted. "Sorry if it was a bit long to get here..." Not that his partner seemed to mind right now, still trying to see clouds through the generous foilage.
Somehow, Uchimura had a fondness for trees. As a child, his parents often found him high in the branches of their backyard's apple tree. He was a smaller child than most, so climbing trees made him feel like he was taller.

He was so absorbed in staring that he noticed too late. Mori had crept up behind him, now holding him from behind, arms wrapped around his chest. "...Ta...Tatsunori?" a fraction of him was startled, the taller one's name breathed out in a low voice, as if disturbing the moment would summon a punishment from the skies.
The other youth didn't answer, the silence dragging on as he rested his forehead against the other youth's shoulder, slowling closing his eyes.
"..what are you-?" The question was left unfinished, sentence cut sharply as he felt Mori shake his head slowly, feeling his hair brushing against his neck.
"...don't say anything. Don't move." He hadn't really planned anything of this. He led him here in the honest intent of simply relaxing, but... it turned out to happen otherwise.

He noticed that Mori was pleading him.. as if it really meant something to him. Some questions had been springing up in his head almost every ten seconds, but he kept them silent, trying not to move, or not even breathe if he could. What did he feel..? He was tense, for sure... but Mori felt tense as well.. and the arms around him were shaking. It wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but him. With the close contact, he could feel it.
"...I don't know why..." after a while, he finally spoke again. "...I felt like doing this. For the longest time.. i'd wanted to.. hold you.." It was hard to speak without his voice breaking, but he thought he should let the trapped Uchimura know that.
They were both unprepared for this, trying to deal with it as best as they could. One to always see crisis developping, he'd been blind to it.. and his own feelings who were now struggling to get out all at once. "..Tatsunori.." his own voice, he noticed as he spoke the other's name, shook even worse than his friend's.

Just a fraction tighter, his arms closed around the small chest as he mustered enough courage to speak the words he wanted. "Kyosuke.." They had been together since a year and a half, but it somehow felt like a decade. Time was of little importance, he'd decided. "..my feelings... grew..." he gulped a lump, pressing his cheek against the other youth's shoulder. "..my feelings.. for you."

And then, all doubt and tension flew away like a flock of migrating birds taking off towards the south.
..because he felt Uchimura hook his fingers lightly, tentatively around his forearm... and then whisper something which was drowned even by the soft noise of rain falling on the already wet leaves above them.

Oh my what an abrupt end! Yes, it cuts off rathersuddenly, eh? Well.. I though this was nicer... somehow... In any case, comments are welcomed ^_^

Under the Wet Leaves part two

One thing becaume evident as the two made their way into the streets towards their respective homes. "It's not going to stop.. this rain.. right?" Mori asked, as if his partner knew the answer.
"I guess not... wanna go to the arcade?" he pointed a thumb towards the general direction of the suggested shelter.
"If you just want a dry place, I know exactly where we can go" Mori's smile indicated that this place was without a doubt worth whatever distance they may walk. "It's a bit far, but it's not like we can get anymore soaked, right?" he grinned.

How intriguing. If he failed to name this 'place' first time around, Uchimura knew it was no use to try and poke a precise location out of the taller one. He always trusted him with this sort of thing "We should probably call our parents if we're going to be away for long, you know..?"
"Good thinking. We can even get some food with the money you'd have had us spend in the arcade"
"Hey, you know how I like the place." He didn't intend to say anything else, but under Mori's gaze, he had to add "..and how badly I'm addicted to that game..." he muttered under his breath. He even borrowed some of his friend's money in order to play a few more times yesterday.
"Of course I know" the black-haired one nodded, leading him slowly but surely towards the river, which had to be crossed by the small bridge.

The minutes passed and the mileage of their shoes went up as they passed through two whole districts before finally emerging close to Mori's so-called sanctuary.
"Is that it?" Uchimura asked, a little while after they stepped into the forest. "It's a bit more dry than the streets, but.. isn't it a lot more humid?" he asked, glancing up with slightly narrowed eyes.
He didn't seem to mind his companion's dubious half-glare as he quietly answered "Of course it is, but it smells nicer, right?" a iny pause before another informative bit "We're not really there yet though.. just a bit more" he prodded him on with another of those smiles.
A slight nod as Uchimura accepted the truth of these words. He couldn't disagree, the nature's scent was a change from the city's... and he felt like he could follow Mori anywhere when he smiled like that. It was as if he had cast a spell. And so, confidence renewed, he shifted the grip he had on his skateboard and racket bag before walking onwards.

Um.. yeah, suspense thingee! Eheh ^^ I could go on, but maybe restarting the computer is a good idea. Eiji-Amp is done, yay ^^ I found everything.. but I still have to try and fix my game controller. Wanna play GBA ._.

Under the Wet Leaves part 1 1/2

"I really don't know if I should thank the rain or hate it for murdering our match" Uchimura commented, glaring mildly at the sky.
"True... we were on a roll since you'd returned Akira's serve" his partner remembered, nodding.
"That was luck.." he muttered, sinking his hat more into his head.
"Eh? Maybe it was.. and that other return you did was luck too, but you can't deny that rest was skill" he replied as he wiped his nose, the only part of his face the rain could actually attack.

Mori had a point with that, and his partner could see it. Just like Akira said, they've been getting better... quite steadily too. Uchimura could only nod in answer. There was silence, which was only illusionary since the sound of raindrops falling on the pavement, shop windows and various other places filled the two's ears.
"This sucks though" the smaller one still seemed slightly irate. "..I wanted to see Akira's reaction when he'd eat his sandwich.."
"Sandwich? Don't tell me..." Mori gave him a wide-eyed stare, anxious to know.
The answer was one simple word: "Wasabi" ..along with a mischievous smirk
"...he'll be glad for the rain, I bet" Mori shuddered. There were times he was glad to be Uchimura's ally.

gah, yes, tiny and short, friend summons me again, as if the double-run to the post office hadn't been enough. What a day I am still glad this week seems better than the last though. I got Honeycomb cereal.. and Lucky Charms too! wai! I will sadly miss the spagetti dinner c.c but... well.. Price to pay.

A ficcie was promised, a ficcie you'll get!!

Under the Wet Leaves yet another Taka-Kat ficcie.

"AUGH!" a frustrated Uchimura screamed as he barely caught the ball and returned it, sending it a hairsbreadth up the net. "He can still hit those shots!?" he clenched his teeth, glancing at his usual partner.
Mori could only look at their opponents worriedly. This point just now was a stroke of luck, they both knew it.

"Aha! I've got the rythm!" a familiar red-haired regular rose a fist in victory. Beside him, Shinji was throwing the ball down, catching it as it rebounded against the ground, muttering to himself.
"We'll get you! I promise you that!" Uchimura yelled, grip tightening around the racket's handle, pointing dramatically at the opposite court.
"O-oi, Kyosuke.. calm down" Mori hissed lightly, beginning to feel pressured as well but trying to deal with it.
"..hm... sure, they will get us" Shinji nodded, catching the ball again before sending it towards the ground one more time. "..in the court.. or off it..?" he threw a meanigful glance the prankster's way before gracing them with his feared Kick Serve.

Time passed.. and so did the Games. Points racked up for one side as well as the other, until small droplets of water began to fall.. and the steadily picked up.
Practice was aborted and the black-clad regulars cleared the courts.
"That's bad timing" Kamio grumbled as he and the others entered the changing room, welcoming its dryness. "But you guys were fighting pretty good back there" he commented while slipping fingers through his sticky wet hair.
"..hm... that's right" Shinji nodded, the speed ace's words ringing true to his ears. Then he started murmuring as usual "Ah, but then we did have a part in it.. so you should thank us, you know? Always respect your elders.. even if we're not really your elders. Darn, that one doesn't work... I'm tired of this..."

A sweatdrop from Kamio. "..well, anyway.." he glanced at the whole team amassed in the room and at different stades of changing. Somehow, he was already done and ready to go. In the pouring rain. "I'm going to run home, so see you all tomorrow! Shinji, I' letting you borrow my bike!" he saluted and then...
...ran off..." Shinji blinked. "...he ran off. I wasn't even finished..." more mumbling as he went out. "..and the bike's saddle is probably wet too..."
Being the greatest big brother one could ask for, Tachibana braved the rain in order to go and fetch his sister.
"I don't want to get soaked" Sakurai shook his head. "I guess I can use this opportunity to get some homework done" he decided, using the bench as table.
While waiting for the rain to clear, Ishida imitated him.

Uchimura glanced at Mori, then at his own locker, gray-brown eyes going from one to the other in a predictable pattern.
As if reading his mind, or vastly knowledgeable of his friend's behavior, Mori looked outside and adressed him. "I don't think it's safe to have two people on a skateboard" he grinned, scratching the back of his neck. "..I don't mind the rain anyway" he smiled, zipped his jacket closed all the way up to the neck and then pulled up the hood, a welcomed element on days like these. "Ready to go!"

yeah, multi-parter, because I wanna take a breather. Plus, it helps building um.. suspense In addition to giving them time to change the stage decors. yay. hahah... more tomorrow.

Let Us See The Light part 3

Mori gulped the lump that was suddenly in his throat. It became evident, after a while, that his partner wasn't going to speak to him. Long seconds passed before the taller youth found enough courage to speak.
"I thought you were going to be at the arcade..." a pause, to watch and wait for reactions. "You left the school so quickly..." Still no reaction, even after two whole seconds. "Uchimura.. what's wrong?" he finally asked, directly adressing the matter.
The youth in the tree didn't look at him, as if he was adressing the fluttering leaves. "You really haven't noticed?" he asked, a little coldly. It was as if his problem was supposed to be obvious.
"..if you didn't feel well, you could have skipped practice. Tachibana-san wou-" he was about to say their captain wouldn't have minded, but the glare sent his way chilled his blood.
"Not only have you not noticed, it seems you're also blind to what is happening around you" the reply was not just 'a little cold' anymore. It was like finding oneself in Siberia.

Mori looked away, choosing to remain silent for now. what he said had somehow upset his partner enough to make him mad. There had only been a few times where he had gotten him mad, but never as much as this. "..sorry.." It was the only thing he could say right now, while trying to think. "Tachibana-san wanted to speak to you.. but you already left." Maybe he would have more chance with this comment.
..it appears not. "He's noticed it. You haven't. Just think, Mori!"
How these words, this tone of voice stung. He was certain that something was up.. but he failed to see it as clearly as his partner did. "Uchimura. I'm asking you because.. I care about you. I want to know why you're acting strange today" he lifted pleading eyes to the one sitting in the relative safety of light foilage. "Don't turn me away like that. I can't understand the problem if you won't tell me"

Of course, no one can resist the pleading puppy eyes. Not even an angry Uchimura. And so he let out a light snort, crossing his arms. "Fine, but I'm going to make you figure it out anyway" Thankfuly, he agreed in providing a small hint. "Think back about the practices we've had this week." That was all he was going to say until he had put his finger on the booboo.
And so, Mori started backtracking from session to session. They've done it all. Singles, doubles, even switching pairs on wednesday. He thought back to how he and his partner individually fared against the opponents. "...we.. struggled a bit, right?" he finally concluded.
"...you call that 'struggling'?" Clearly, his partner was bohered greatly by this.
He didn't have to shout at him though. "We just weren't in synch.. for.. some reason. I..." how could he say this? He didn't want to hurt him, but Uchimura just kept stabbing at him. "I don't understand why you're so angry. I don't get it all."

"Can't you see... how much we're falling behind?" Finally, the answer was given. "It's not just struggling! It's like we tripped somewhere and haven't gotten up!"
Was that it? Now that the fact was flung in his face, he couldn't deny it. "...That's right.." the others kept running forward, but he and his partner weren't improving. "Haven't we tried a bit too hard to win..? Trying too hard is the same as not trying hard enough" He had somehow made his way directly under the branch Uchimura sat on.
"What should we do then!?" the smaller youth shouted, exasperated.
"There are things we can try" Mori couldn't see problems as sharply as some -or couldn't see them at all- but it seems that to him, the solutions appeared as clearly as the sun in a cloudless sky. "Masaya and Tetsu asked for advice from Akira and Shinji. They didn't improve in one night. I guess they practice a lot too. You noticed hw Sakurai hasn't hung around the arcade recently?"
If problems were crystal clear for Uchimura, it seems he kept missing the soluions that passed by. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Kyosuke... You forgot three things.." shook his head, and lifted his index. "One, there's no shame in asking our temmates for help" he wanted to make sure he clearly understood this. "...and two..." a secnd finger was lifted "...you can't get stronger for the sake of two people. We're together in this, right? Let's do our best" he then smiled, as if it was already all right.
"...Tatsunori..." Now it was clear. They would ask Akira and Shinji for some basic tips, and then improve on their own, like the other doubles team did!

"...and three.." Yes, because there was a third point he forgot! "...don't forget to buy leek for dinner tonight" he passed along the message left by Uchimura's mother.
"Why you..!" Trust Mori to break the serious mood. His partner leapt down from the branch and tackled him, proceeding to rub his knuckles into the youth's skull. The less Mori moved, the more his partner was intent to let him go. Thing is, he always struggled like a fish out of water.
At lenght, both of them ended up on the ground, laughing until they were out of breath.

After they both regained their senses, Uchimura picked his cap up from where it fell, and then took out his cell phone. "Let's take out two birds with one stone. I got that nice prank idea I've wanted to try all week... Akira and Shinji won't refuse to help us out..."

The next week at Fudoumine promised to be a very fun ride, with the tricksters back in buisness...

Finished. Yay, Yay, Uchimura-ness, Mori-ness! They deserve it! *hugs the bishies* I will spead the tricksters-lovin' to the world!!! but I still get priority in the picking order.

Let Us See The Light part 2

The shower was incredibly refreshing, as was expected, maybe even moreso. The change of clothes was welcomed, sweathy shirt trown in the wash basket in favor of lighter pants and the new red shirt paterned with small goldfish that Mori wanted to wear since he bought it yesterday.
Walking into the hallway, he took a deep breath before reaching for the phone. Why was it that he felt so tense? He decided to undo the shirt's top button, simply because it was a good way to help in cooling down. It was probably too hot in here anyway... With no other excuse in store, he tried Uchimura's home.
"Hai, Mori desu. Ano... is Kyosuke-kun home?" he asked, hopeful to try and resolve this strange problem. However, "...he's not here yet? Ah, domo. I'll try his cell phone then. H-hai. Thank you" the youth grimaced , running a hand through his slightly damp short locks as he put the receiver down. Uchimura didn't feel like going home.. and he seemingly had to buy leek for dinner. Valuable information.

"...calm down, baka" he murmured to himself, rubbing the space between his eyebrows. Maybe Uchimura went to the arcade to cool off or something... The best way to know what was up... was to ask him. And so, he picked up the phone again, and put the number in, dialing it instinctively. He'd composed it enough times to know it by heart. Every ring of the phone at the other end gave him a light shudder.
...Uchimura wasn't going to answer. He always answered! Even in the train. He once answered in a public bathroom, which brought a bunch of laughs from Mori. But now.. no response. Of course. He didn't even answer his parents earlier... why would he answer him?
And so the receiver was put down again. He wondered why he was fretting out so much about this. He could see him tomorrow! ..but it just bugged him a lot, how they parted way so unconventionally.

"I'm going out!" he shouted to his mother, who was in the living room a ways away. "I'll have dinner someplace, don't expect me until late" he picked up his cellphone, tied his sneaker's laces.. and was out.
He decided he would spend the rest of the day going on a wild goose chase across town. He had to find Uchimura, and wouldn't give up until the sun was down.

He first tried the skate park. His partner had a habit of hanging out there, and it was the closest possible place that he had to pass by. He chose to be methodical about his search in order to save time. The more time he wasted, the more chances he had that Uchimura would move.
The skating park regulars greeted him. Of course, he wasn't a skater, but he hung around with one, so it was just as good. None of them saw hair -or rather cap- nor hide of his partner.. and so he quickly excused himself. He had no time to entertain them further.
He tried calling him on his cellphone while moving to his next destination, but again, he didn't pick up. In some way, he was glad to hear the phone ringing over and over again. It at least told him Uchimura cared enough about his callers and didn't outright disconnect his phone. That could have caused him a great deal of worry.

He was greeted by a couple of regulars as he entered the arcade. He and Uchimura were well known in this place, since they both played a lot here, craving the atmosphere.
"Uchimura..? Sure, we saw him an hour ago." one of his acquaintances informed him. "He said he was going somewhere to think about stuff.. Literally. He looked a bit depressed, too. I tried to get him to play a round with me... but he went on his way anyway" he shook his head.
Somewhere to think about stuff..? That was a clue. A good clue. Yet another sign that something was VERY wrong: Uchimura never refused to play a fighting game with anyone. "Thanks, Toranosuke. Here" he shoved a few yen in the other youth's hand. "Beat Yuki today, you hear?" he grinned. Yes, he loved to fuel some rivalries! "Don't worry about Kyosuke, I'll make sure he's okay." he assured him before running off.

He knew where his partner was.. without a doubt.

After grabbing himself a box of takoyaki to go only for the sake of pacifying his hunger, he set off towards that special place Uchimura went to when he needed to 'think about stuff'...
As he thought, there was the skateboard and large racket bag, resting against the large tree's trunk.. and their owned seated, or rather slumped on a branch. He stayed a couple of feet away.. and tried his cell phone again, interested in seeing his reaction.
The phone rang, and was taken out of a jacket pocket. He apparently looked at the caller but didn't answer, letting the phone ring in his pocket. At least, he knew Mori cared enough to call. He would probably be surprised when...
"Oi! Uchimura!" Not a good idea, calling out people like that. The youth was so startled he almost fell. His partner looked upset at seeing him down there though.

"..." thing is, Mori had no clue what to tell him now.

No it's not finished, i,m just too tired to go on... comments welcome anyway.. I'll finish it tomorrow, i promise! Tomorrow morning, as soon as i,M up. Never thought it'd turn intoa multi-parter... and YES Qualificatoins were FUN! I love the new F1 rules, at least for qualif sessions! Also, I'm not a Schumi fan, BUT Michael Schumacher's lap was fantastic. My eyes were glued to the screen.. More on that if I remember to babble about it after my fic tomorrow.

Trying to re-write what was written before Kamibu-bluescreenage...

Let Us See The Light

"All right you guys, that's enough for today!" Loud and clear, their captain's voice rang across the courts. Obediently, the three balls that were in the air got snatched out of it. Tachibana-san always knew what was best for them. If he was telling them to stop, they would.
"...this sucks... I was about to pull out a good one" Shinji murmured as he strode towards the ball basket. "...next time I'm going to beat his rythm to a pulp.. yes I will.." he continued muttering to himself, the ball bouncing on the edge of his racket and then launched towards the basket to join its companions. "..how annoying."
Kamio felt the same as Shinji, but everyone was used to uncompleted matches. They had different ways of dealing with it now. He had learned that taking it to another court wasn't a good idea. The atmosphere just wasn't the same. It wasn't really a win.. and didn't feel like one either. Dealing with the frustration, as their captain said, was a good way to strenghten their character.

Sakurai and Ishida were excitedly recounting their match as if Tachibana hadn't seen all of it. To them, it didn't matter anymore if a match was ended or not, especially when they played against each other.
Mori left to get a drink of water while Uchimura took care of kicking the ball into the basket. For some reason, he went into the changing room and almost instantly made his way out of the school grounds.
"..hm.... no tricks today?" Shinji blinked, puzzled.
"Maybe they're on vacation" Kamio offered to explain this bizarre phenomenon.

Returning from the faucets, Mori looked pretty lost as the captain came to him.
"Did Uchimura leave with you? I'd need a word with him" he asked, visibly having missed the smaller one's departure as he conversed with Sakurai and Ishida.
"..eh? He's not here? He was right there before I went away." he pointed his thumb towards the court they'd been playing in. He was unaware as well that his partner wasn't in the school anymore.
"Uchimura already left, Tachibana-san" Shinji informed the captain, and by rebound Mori as well.
"It can't be helped then, I'll try and see him tomorrow" he resigned himself to fate. "Good practice, everyone... Now shoo! It's sunday after all, so just go and enjoy the sun!" he waved the team away, and they more or less complied....

Mori went to the changing room, wondering why his partner left so abruptly. They left the school together every single day. When some emergency came up, or anything, then he would know instantly. But today.. not even a word.
He remembered that as they played through their matches, Uchimura seemed increasingly displeased, angry, frustrated... Why was that? He wanted to ask, but he was left hanging as his partner ran off while he had his back turned. Their captain may have noticed it as well.
He sighed lightly, sitting on the bench... before Kamio kicked the door open witha loud BANG!, making him jump a foot in the air and clutch his chest to keep his heart from ripping it in order to flee.
"..whoa, Shinji's right" the speed ace commented, wide-eyed after opening his locker in a painstakingly slow manner. "No tricks. None at all. You guys gave us a break?" he asked with a light grin.
Another sign something was wrong with Uchimura. There was no talk of pranks or anything similar today. Why did it take him so long to notice? He forgot to answer Kamio, tossing his jacket on and walking out.
First, he would get home and take a shower. After doing that and getting sme clean clothes on, he would try to phone his partner and find out what was wrong.

Posting this for now Yes, before my modem makes my cpu bluescreen again. nyah. The rest to come sometime soon, probably. For now, a break.

Fudoumine's Front Killer, another fic written by Taka-Kat.

The day had been pretty hard on him so far. Math class, biology and world history had proven a challenge for his mind, and then physical education and chemistry both did a good deal to wear his body down and eat the last of his concentration away.
It was like that on every school day, but he wouldn't let it show. It was probably that way for everyone else, he supposed. Storing the glass tubes and various acids away, Uchimura then slid his chemistry notebook in his schoolbag. The classes were over for today, now was the time for club activities.
The mere thought sufficed to give him a boost of energy. He would definitely make Tachibana-san proud today. But first...

"Yo, Tatsunori!" he called out to his doubles partner, who immediately rushed towards him, not minding that they were still in the school hall.
Mori seemed to be the perfect partner for the smaller youth. Both posessed the same sense of humour, which was often despised by their teammates. "Uchimura! How's it going?" he asked with a large grin, rising his palm.
Rising his own palm and striking the other one's in greeting, the mischievous smirk he returned said it all. "You'll never guess what I thought up..."

As was previously said, they had their special sense of humour. Both liked to play pranks on their fellow regulars, and so came their target...
Mori had his back to the changing room's wall as Shinji came around the corner, bookcase slung over a shoulder. His muttering stopped as he spotted the dark-haired youth, and before entering the changing room, he glanced at the door, which was slightly ajar. Lifting his foot, he kicked it open.slosh, clang clang.. A bucket filled with water had been deposited up there.
"...I'm not falling for the same trick twice.." the blue-haired youth murmured in passing, some splishy-splashy noises coming from his shoes hitting the puddle of water on the floor. "...you should clean up this mess... wouldn't be good if someone slipped...." Inside the room was Uchimura, who was finishing to change into his jersey.
Shinji deposited his bookcase on the floor and open the locker marked with his name...

A few minutes later, Kamio turned the corner. The laughter errupting from Mori made him glad he wasn't the one to fall for today's prank.. and he wondered who the unfortunate victim was as much as the subject of the prank.
It was hard to contain a chuckle as he entered the room. Uchimura was rolling on the floor with laughter, Shinji with a hand still gripping the locker's door... and small plastic insects stuck in his hair, murmuring incoherently, probably plotting a revenge that would never happen. He was too gentle for that.

And then came Tachibana, demanding seriousness. He wasn't condemning pranks, who were always mostly harmless. It was just that now wasn't the time for that anymore.
Uchimura helped Shinji in the arduous task of picking out the plastic things out of his hair, still giggling madly, while Mori wiped the floor dry again. Tachibana had at least admitted to the comic duo that Shinji's expression was priceless.
In due time, they were all in the courts. Shinji sat the first practice round out, interested in studying his teamate's techniques. Kamio was up against the captain while both the usual doubles pairs faced each other off.
And so for the first hour, only various shouts, sounds of balls hitting rackets or bouncing against the ground were heard, along with pertual mumbling.

It was match point far too soon for Kamio. Time seemed to pass slower, even though he was always on the run. Left, right, stop and strike, then go left again... He got a few smashes in, but his captain rarely fell for those. He pulled out skilled shots in order to score, getting 2 games and almost winninga third. His focus was without fail, and even the sweat that had built up felt like nothing as he ran towards the ball, stooping short in front of it and swinging his racket backwards...
...but the ball failed to bounce, as he'd excpected... and so he was left with the racket in mid-air, eyes wide, staring at the ball... and then slowly lifting his eyes at his captain. That one... had been totally unexpected. His rythm probably flew out the window. His shoulders slumped, finally, and then he let out a long sigh.
"It was a hard thing to do, but your speed increased again, Kamio. Good job" his captain was always quick to offer words of encouragement and advice. "Your stamina is still good, but try and work on your technique"
"Hai, Tachibana-san" he acknowledged with a nod as the two went to join Shinji on the bench.

"...they're at it again.." he shook his head, muttering. "...really, it always ends up like this these days... how predictable.."
The score was 6-6, and the tiebreak seemed to drag on. This was seemingly a normal occurence for this sort of match, between these specific people. They both won their last game after many deuces.
"Hey you guys! We'll take on whoever wins!" Kamio shouted at them. Of course, they knew 'we' meant the ferociously fast and calm Ibu-Kamio pair. A challenge, but a sure loss as well.
"...yeah, I want to play too, you know... so could someone lose fast? It's getting tiring to just watch all you guys have fun... really... some people have it all.. I'm so envious" Shinji's endless murmuring went on.

On the court, the fight was seemingly only starting. The ball once again took off in the air, launched by Sakurai's powerful strike. Mori caught it in the nick of time, sending it into a lob in a hope to recover. A few seconds later, he discovered it was in fact a very bad idea... because Ishida ran towards it, aiming for a smash.
Uchimura threw a glance at his partner as he sprinted and leapt to cover the last of the distance, entrusting him with the task of getting the ball if he failed to score. He ended up crashing hard on the ground, sending himself on a roll both to cushion his fall and get back to his feet faster.
The return was caught by Sakurai again, but Mori was up to the task and managed a smash of his own, hoping to end it... but Ishda sent it springing upwards and brushing the net...
Uchimura literally sent himself flying towards the ball and managed a lob that went over Ishida's head... and landed just barely inside the court.

And so they were victorious. The smaller youth decided to occupy the court a few minutes more and promptly crashed on the spot to regain his breath, imitated by his partner.
While Tachibana praised their fighting spirit, Uchimura fanned himself with his grey cap, short strands of hair visible for once. He had long since decided that this exhaustion was worth it.

It truly was. All of them, in this team, were willing to build something great from the ashes that were there when they started. It was like some sort of Phoenix, their team. Their losses made every one of them more determined to get stronger, each and every time. They never had any excuses.
Not him, or anyone else.

And now, the pair had to rise to another challenge.
"Akira, Shinji. We'll take you on"

Ta-daa, Uchimura ficcie. Yeah.. Sorry if the ending's a bit strange... I thought of writing that fora while. didn't turn out like I wanted, but.. not too bad either.

OH MY GOD! It was sooooo fuuuun!!! I couldn't believe it, but there IS an episode funnier than 22 and 64 put together!!!! hahahahaaaa!!!!!
Lotsa hugs and THANKS to Rachel!

You know... Either there is something between Momo and Ann, or between Kamio and Ann.. werll.. or maybe just both of them like to think they can watch over her... or entertain thoughts about being her boyfriend. They had a nice version of the Australian formation *laughs* Lovely.

Raspberry pies, yet another Taka-Kat fic.

It's not that he hated walking through this neighbourhood. The feeling was like a faraway, gentle breeze touching his skin. It always felt like this, when he took a glance at the cherry trees and large bushes lining the sidewalks of many houses.
It felt like this every single time.

Yuuta stopped himself for a second, hand in mid-air. It's not that his will was weak... but... somehow there was this one tinge of something he couldn't quite pick up. Like eating some pumpkin curry and suddenly biting into a clutter of wasabi.
Breathe deep now... and open that door.
"Tadaima" Not even a split second after he entered the house, he was greeted by the scent of freshly-baked pies. There was nothing he loved more than this... add a plate of pumpkin curry and he's in heaven. Temporary heaven, but still.
"Okaeri, Yuuta"
This... was NOT the voice he wanted to hear! Looking up from his shoes, he pointed an accusing finger. "You. What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here." he thought Seigaku were going to have some sort of social outing. "...where's neesan?" he asked, looking left and right as he walked away from his shoes, as far away from his brother as he could. "She told me she would be here.. and you wouldn't" Yes, he was rather direct when it mattered.

Yuuta wasn't really listening, even as his older brother explained thattheir sister was out buying the fish so it would be as fresh as possible for dinner. He sat on the couch and proceeded to give a mild glare at the bookshelf, as if it was the reason of his woes.
This attitude just told his older brother what he wanted to know. Yuuta was in good health and spirits if he could ignore him in such a stunning way. He never smiled, and that's probably why Syusuke smiled for the two of them. There was something about Yuuta's scowl when he went and sat nearby. It was amusing... like braving the tiger's fangs.

The opening of the front door and his sister's cheerful greeting instantly made Yuuta forget his brother's existence as he dashed out of the living room to provide her some company. Again, Syusuke did not spare a second dwelling on sad thoughts. Instead of this, it seems merely witnessing his little brother being more energetic than usual made him happy. If she baked his favorite dessert, she could expect a proliferation of thanks... as well as a little brother pressuring for the main meal... just so dessert would come faster.
And so the whole family pitched in, the older brother fixing a cucumber salad while his sister cooked the salmon. The mustard sauce that would drench the thick fish slices was left in Yuuta's care.
Over the consuming of the food, no words were exchanged between the two brothers. If any, it was a one-way conversation. Even when Yuuta wanted butter, he would rather get up and snag it from the table himself than ask /him/.
Over dessert, Syusuke was simply content with watching his little brother consume the raspberry pie while trying to appear only half as gleeful as he really was.

After Yuuta left, the smile never left Syusuke's face.
Because he thought, his brother's hate was probably his own way of showing that he cared.

Yes, very tiny ficcie As a matter of fact I very rarely think about these two except for Fuji's gravity-defying moves and yuuta's nice voice... but there you go. Lil' ficlet just for Rachel. Not that she particularly needed it to be happy but *glances at PoT 71 download* I owed her at least a try! ^____^

I dreamed about going somewhere.. and my bro being there. Then I dreamed about takinga fery for 50$ -the price to go to and back from Montreal- No wait, it wasn't a ferry, it was a weird huge platform boat. I ended up at Rizzu's.. and the WEIRDEST wasn't my bro following.. it was that there was a BLACK sky and that two chinese-like Phoenixes, one black and one white, could be seen against each other. Rizzu said someting I can't remember, and then she was like.. Kyaaah, the black with is coming. And in the black sky was rolling in another black motif I couldn't make out.. and it was a bad omen since everyone went crazy.

And I woke up. My bro was probably there cause I saw him on the bus yesterday. The black witch thing may have been inspired by Shinji in ep 64 -I'd rather have Fudoumine dreams- and Rizzu.. wah, I wish I could see everyone again ;_; Since that dream was weird and it's only 7am, I,m going back to bed. Dun' care about fixing that philosophy work thing.Becky, before I gforget.. how do I get the other teams in the GBA games? x.x;;

Two fics in one day? What the?
You probably wonder what came from the dark closet again. Sorry in advance, I don't know much about that one day I,ll be talking about. Already trying not to spoil the moment. Grab your tissues.

One last day in the sun

Kamio let out a light sigh, penning down the last answer on the excuse for a math test. 364. That was it. There was no doubt. He didn't expect to ace it, but he imagined he would be pretty close. Freed from the burdens of that sorry excuse for a last exam, he finally put his pencil to rest, a metallic noise produced from its contact with the small metal case.
It was sunny outside, but for some reason, looking out the window at it made the youth's heart ache slightly. Today... should never have come. The classroom, save for the scribblings of pens, was silent. Even listening to his MD earlier had failed to take his mind off this fateful day. Kamio was off his rythm.
He wasn't looking forward to the end of his class.

"...should've just stayed in bed today..." Shinji muttered softly to himself. "..then again, it would have been unproductive. Missing classes isn't something advisable.." He had been doing that for a while now, but students and teachers alike were used to it by now. "..tarnishes a record.. and makes for bad reputation.."
"Ibu-kun, can you now translate what Souichirou-kun just read?"
"..teacher thinks I'm not listening again.." he murmured to himself before fixing his tone, just a little bit louder, standing up to give the answer. "I thought the roses were red, but then I discovered thew white and as faded as my heart. How could I not see the beauty of the world?" He sat down promptly after the teacher's nod, going back to his own ramblings. "...it's an irrational thought, but I'd like it, if time stopped..."
He glanced out the window, and saw the school gates. With a sigh, he returned his purple-blue eyes into his textbook, even if the words he tried to read were blurry. He let his eyes close, determined not to let the tears fall. This day... had to come, eventually.

"..and it was then that I thought: 'why are these things called hamburgers? There's NO ham in it, it's beef!'. Do you see any logic in that?"
"No I don't, Mori-kun.. and your point is?" the Social Studies teacher was more than curious, her wide eyes blinking rapidly.
"My point is that hamburgers should be called 'beefburgers' because we're all being led on to believe, falsely, that these patties will taste like ham, while they will never do." He nodded firmly and crossed his arms.
The class stared at him, sweatdropping. "I see, Mori-kun... Thank you, you can sit now." the poor teacher was probably shocked. "Next, Minagawa-kun"
Running a hand through his short strands of hair, Mori sat back down, letting out a breath he wasn't aware of holding in. He glanced at his watch and immediately felt a pang. Right now, somewhere else, some very important event was happening. He gulped a lump as the thought went through his mind.
Why is it... that today had to happen?

"Whoa! Sugoi Ishida-kun! That smash won us the game!"
A light laugh, and the youth tied his bandana a little tighter. "It was just luck, really." For their physical education class, they ended up playing voley ball after a mad jan-ken-pon tournament. Everyone loved the teacher, who was often as energetic as half the class put together. "You'll grow another couple of inches, and next year you can do it too" he assured his classmate.
Next year... He looked away, saddened at the thought. He had been pushing it back throughout the day, but it had come back to haunt him every time. There was no escaping it, what today was, and what it meant.
What it means to him... and all of them.

Sakurai clenched a fist, clutching the bridge of his nose with the other. It was hard to concentrate... harder and harder as the minutes passed. He knew it wasn't a headache. It was just some annoying feeling, as if someone kept poking his forehead.
He knew what was the cause of the strange feelings that swam inside him. Since he woke up, he dreaded the end of the day of classes.
"Oi, Sakurai-kun! Are you listening?" the teacher asked, tapping on his desk.
"..ah.. gomen nasai, Masaya-sensei." he immediately got up his chair and bowed in apology. "I will.. go stand outside now" It was everyone's punishment, so without waiting an instant, he went in the corridor, sliding the door behind him, and proceeded to stand a few inches from the wall, head bowed.
He was glad that he was out of the classroom... because he started sobbing, wishing in total selfishness with all his aching heart, that this day would never have come.

Uchimura wasn't in class. He decided against going. He did not feel like it at all. Listening to a teacher rant about history wasn't on his top priority list. He chose to wander the school.. and ended up on the tennis courts, where he stayed for a while.
Once he felt the time was right, he went back in the school.... and headed to the gymnasium.

The whole Fudoumine regulars still had to try an cope with it. It wasn't sudden, or unexpected. they'd known for a long time. Tachibana... was graduating today
Which is why Uchimara had to at least take a peek in the gymnasium.

Tachibana stood proudly, along with all the graduates who'd had their names called out. The class representative was already walking down the podium to hand out the diplomas.
It was quite a sight, and the atmosphere was too much to bear, along with the sight and thoughts, so Uchimura retreated to the relative safety of the outdoors.
Eventually, the classes ended, and students poured out. There were no club activities today, and so the Regulars were quick to gather outside. Of course, Kamio had gotten his rythm back for a few minutes and was there first. Uchimura had chosen to go wait for Mori outside the classroom, so the two came together, almost at the same time as Ishida. Sakurai was going at a snail's pace... but he managed to beat Shinji. Seems the basket of mumbles had duties to fulfill in class.

"...so.. when is it going to end?" Kamio asked, glancing at the gymnasium doors with a slightly wary look in his eyes.
"It's not like the school ate Tachibana-san, Kamio" Mori noticed the look their rythm freak's eyes and thought of a joke to lighten the atmosphere... but instantly regreted it. Now wasn't the time for jokes, good or bad as they were.
They were all walking on the edge, wishing to be having a very bad nightmare. Kamio glanced slowly towards Shinji. The other youth's lips weren't moving. No muttering, not even a semblance of it. That was a sure sign about something very ugly happening in the blueberry-haired youth's life.
"They're taking so long... They didn't finish before our classes ended... right?" Sakurai asked tenatively.
"You know Tachibana-san would have waited for us" Ishida answered, sitting on his heels.

The silence dragged on, as uncomfortable as heavy, cold rain. The sun was shining, but even it heat couldn't warm the heart of any of the second-years that were impatiently waiting. There were no jokes, no murmurs. Only very faint sniffling sounds. If sadness could be heard, may would be deaf now.

Finally, the doors swung open, and the graduates all flowed outside, running towards friends or parents, or simply going home.
"Tachibana-san!!" They all called out as one single voice when they caught sight of him at the exact same moment.
He looked just like he did everyday... save for that rolled paper in his hand. "You're all here" Their captain looked so happy to see them. It was as if he was going to wave them away and call for practice to start... Everyone was probably waiting for him to do just that. He'd point them with his indek and poke lightly at their shoulder, requesting them out of their school uniforms and into their regular jerseys.. "Kamio"
The sudden call startled him, and the red-haired youth snapped to attention, leaping forward. "H-hai, Tachibana-san"
"...Kamio..." the older youth put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing lightly. "I'm giving my position over to you, all right...?" "Tachibana-san.." all Kamio could say was his name... and he finally broke into tears. How could he tell him? he didn't want the position! he just wanted him to say... he wanted them to go to the Nationals.. and beat everyone. Without him, without Tachibana-san, their captain, how were they going to do that?
The rest were pretty much stranded, everyone trying not to let their memories and emotions eat them whole. Shinji was still silent, standing a bit further away. Uchimura was visibly chewing on his lower lip. Mori was staring at that one paper roll that had stolen Tachibana away. Sakurai wiping a tear while Ishida took in deep breaths, being the one who seemed the more in control of himself.

Tachibana wrapped one arm around Kamio, patting his back lightly. "You'll stop crying when there aren't any more tears to shed. until then... cry all you want"
That was what their Captain.. well.. their previous captain.. was all about. Tachibana was one of the most sensible people, always concerned about them. Not overly so, but he always made sure they were healthy and in the best condition for a match, practice... or whatever else. Many special memories stemmed from him. Fudoumine's tennis team got this far all because of him.. all because of that new transfer student that unexpectedly changed all their lives.
Tachibana slid his diploma in his pocket, freeing his other had to run it through Kamio's hair and then adressed them all "...what I just said goes for you too"

There was no doubt. They all looked up to him, admired him.... and many heartbreaks were about to happen today.
Shinji refused to look in that direction. He thought maybe if he didn't look, things wouldn't be so bad. Of course, he couldn't hope to deny reality for so long. Uchimura started crying.. and Sakurai followed suit. Soon Sakurai as well. In the end, only Shinji was left out of that large human mass of hugs and cries.
He was so silent. He hoped, maybe, that they would all forget his existence. But they didn't.. and after all tears were shed... he fels a light tap on his shoulder, and cursed himself for instictively looking over.

"I thought you weren't going to cry for me" Tachibana smiled sadly, wiping the tear that had made its way out of Shinji's eye.
With an earth-saking sob, he spun and burried his face in the taller youth's chest, finally getting his voice back. Even thought it was wracked with sniffles and sobs, everyone could hear the sentence clearly... and this proved, again, that Shinji was the most perceptive out of all of them.

"Tachibana-san... " he said. "...you can cry all you want too"

Yep, end of angstfic. If you couldn't tell, it was inspired by this, which I posted before, and Becky ^_^ Thank you Becky, first Angstfic-type thing.

Insert clever fic title here da ne!

The sun sat high in the sky , not a trace of white puffy clouds, the earth-dwellers not ever getting a second of respite from its constant heat.
In the harsh summer, those with homes equipped of an Air Conditioning unit were very grateful for this invention. Those who didn't... simply had other means to fight the heat, some more useful than others.

Kisarazu had his head slumped in the crest of his arm, resting it on the desk, the nearby fan working overtime and making his front hair dance lazily on his forehead. His unfinished math homework was by itself, book opened in a corner, his notepad trapped between his arm and the desk. Then pen seemed to have ran away to hide under the bed after the youth decided this heat called for an unexpected nap.
The aforementionned nap was about to be cut short.
"Oi! Atsuji!! Are you here da ne?" Anyone could guess who this voice belonged to.
"..hn..?" What was that? It came from outside. Of course, only ONE person could entertain the strange idea to come here unexpectedly on this gloriously hot sunday. Not bothering to reflect on the fact he got woken from a surprise nap, Kisarazu got up from his chair and looked outside his window, which was open to let the fresh air in. There was the expected sight. "Yanagisawa." it was a fact, not a question. "Anything's up?" he asked, wondering why his fellow Regular was passing by.
"Let's go somewhere together da ne!" Was that why he'd come all this way?
And so, the youth had two choices. Go out in the heat, or pull Yanagisawa in here.. to steal his fan. No way. maybe he should just make him go away. "...I have homework to do" It wasn't even a lie.
"Come on da ne! it's going to be fun da ne!"

Why was it that he kept forgetting about that guy's persistence? Maybe the poor duckling was bored and wanted company. "Do you have any idea of how hot it is? Even flies don't go out" He was very grateful that there wasn't any sort of practice or tournament.
"It's not that hot da ne!"
"...so says the one who wiped his forehead twenty times since he stopped by. You do know that you are dripping all over our lawn" Kisarazu informed him, wondering if he even noticed.
"It's called watering the grass da ne!"
"...it's sweat, not water.... I give up, you're hopeless" he rolled his eyes. "I'll be out soon" he promised, turning away from the window. The next milisecond, he mentally kicked himself.

He took a short trip around his room. The weather called for something white with short sleeves... and a nice pair of equally white shorts. He stopped by the mirror for a few seconds, enough to tie his headband. A last sidequest in the kitchen for some water, and out he was, his rollerskates slung over his shoulders. No way he was going to come back home on foot.
"You'll see, we'll have fun da ne!" Yanagisawa looked and sounded pretty confident as he wiped his forehead with his sleeve for the third time in half a minute.
No one could blame Kisarazu for being doubtful, and he had no qualms in voicing it. "Of course we will.. if we don't end up being sweat puddles before the next street corner" Sarcasm was his speciality, it seems.
Sadly, it didn't bother his partner at all. "No we won't da ne! Mizuki would probably say this heat increases our stamina da ne!"
"..don't bring Mizuki in this. Bad omen. Where are we going anyway? It better be worth it" he directed a slit-eyed glance at the one who was walking beside him.
"It will da ne! Trust me da ne!!"
"...do I really have to..? I guess I can't help it this time" he wiped his nose, annoyed at the tiny droplet of sweat that was beginning to hang from it. "You could have picked a day where the heat and humidity weren't so cruel to show me whatever you want me to see" He was already plotting revenge for this.

Yanagisawa had this planned very well, he thought. Kisarazu couldn't guess where he was being led. It was a part of his neighbourhood that had yet to be explored. The unfamiliar environment made him wonder about what was to be found. The duckling's final destination had better be worth all the sweat.
He was patient, bidding his time. He didn't ask 'how much longer?' or complain with endless 'are we there yet?'. That was Yanagisawa's job.. and he was glad he was the one leading since it saved him from hearing such things.
He remembered the day they first went on shopping duty.. and cursed the memory instantly.

And finally!
"We're here da ne!" Yanagisawa signaled, shaking him out of his thoughts.
And finally focusing to what laid in front of him, he discovered "...an ice cream shop.." It was, in fact, quite a nice surprise. It actually made it worthwhile to have gotten here. However, there was one small problem... "I forgot my wallet.."
"No problem da ne! Let me handle it da ne!" Again, the duckling asked for trust? Well, he wasn't dissapointed with the destination, and besides, he had no other choice.

A few minutes later, the two were sharing a chocolate sundae, blessing the small shop's air conditionning system while Kisarazu's math homework sat under the fan's gentle breeze.

This ficlet was written for Lannie, so don't blame me ^^ I actually ahd fun with it.

Funny, I once sent that sort of order for my Yami no matsuei poster, I think.. nyeh, moral of the story: USE CASH, moron. When that cash gets back, I will probably preorder a few. I thought yesterday that I should get 2 to limit spending, but hell, I'm angry, so.. so I may just... oh heck, I,ll see then.

For sure none of my parents'd try mackerel ^^ maybe I should buy 2 mackerel and 4 shrimp. Oh yesyes. See, I'm rambling. Not that I mind. Oh and it sucks, I can't quite guy get that resume to the spot I wanted since I gotta doggie-sit. Stupid dog ate its um.. operation points. Dunno what it's called, deal with it, I never heard what it is and can't guess. See if the word ever enters a conversation again anyway, nyeh ^o^

Doggie-sitting means that i can't write as I hoped. *ears perk up* oooh my mom gives me 5$. Hello carrot-orange juice and helloooo extra 2 sushi! And will even have 5$ left for ah.. other expenses. See me NOT spend it and save it for CDs ^___^ waiwai! Lucky!!! the 65$ for 3CDs became 67 yesterday, as canadian cash got yet crappier! I'll probably pre-order when it's at 65 or lower x.x; heheh.

My life seems sorta okay right now ^_^b

Japan and Canada(Quebec) have a 12-hour difference... so this means... there is a 50% chance Kamio was born on the same day as I was! hahahahha ^o^ How's that?
Gotta love getting sudden thoughts when you lie awake in bed waiting for downloads!!! nyeheheh ^_^ And to those who don't know, Kamio's birthday is August 26th ^_________^

Also, you people know I will worship -probably offer a ficcie- to whoever'll send ep 71 *drroool* also... something funnier than MomoRyoma vs ShinKami... MomoKami.. vs ShinRyoma *laughs*

gotta try and write up ast night's dream! Remembered it all of a sudden.
It was some sorta con, and there were, strangely, PoT cards smack on the stairs, all laid out neatly. I picked up two. I think it was um... Fuji-Taka and.. Momo-whoever.. can't remember exactly, but there was no Fudoumine. Anyway, a random guy says I gotta trade for them. I suddenly notice a large trading room. As if i didn't knew it was there.. oh! There were people playing Go in it! i thought after trading I could ask for a game and tell my friends I played go when I,d come back. Coincidentially, I had my cards! nd lots of empty packs cause I collect them. I think they were all in boxes.. anyway, I had them look at my GundamWar cards from AN and I hoped that'd do, if not then i,d get my PoT cards out. and uh.. I think I then woke up...
that's about it.... It was sorta cool ^_^

Yes, behold! a ficcie!

Along the Victory Road

The sun was sitting high in the sky, its heated rays homing in on the earth below, seeming to especially focus on black. Was it coincidence or masochism that Fudoumine Gakuen's regulars were out for practice under the already blazing heat?
They had all been dismissed from class a while ago, and then students went on with their club activities. On the courts, sounds of rackets striking balls could be heard. If sweating made a sound, a lot of this may be heard as well...

Sakurai swung and hit the ball, sending it back towards Kamio's court. It bounced once.. and was then sharply returned, the youth immediately ready to dash again. Even when the ball landed at the total opposite from him after being lobed by Sakurai, he caught it.. and the speed ace's return was flawless.
"Whoa, that last one was nice, Akira" Mori nodded, having observed the match most of the time. Further away, Ishida and Uchimura were taking a much-needed drink of water after their own match, discussing its strenghts and weaknesses.
"My rythm was good" Kamio wiped the sweatbeads from his forehead. "...but this guy surprised me more than once" he nodded to Sakurai, who departed for the water fountains. He was sweating hard too. "This heat almost makes me wish for rain" he looked up at the sky as if to make it aware of his wish.
A cry ressounded behind them, and in unison, both Kamio and Mori turned towards the fountains... and saw Sakurai being targetted by Uchimura... armed with a water gun. Distracted with instinctive shielding, he didn't see Ishida grabbing a bucket.

"...who needs rain when we have Tetsu to dump water on us?" Kamio sweatdropped lightly.
"I bet you're glad you didn't go get water" Mori chuckled lightly before cowering under the 'you knew!' glare given to him by one dark blue eye.

"...they sound like they're having fun" Shinji murmured, not looking away from the opposite court. "...really. I'm jealous" he ran for the left side and smacked the ball back towards the team's captain. "..well, maybe not" He couldn't deny his own position now. He was having a match. Against Tachibana.
"Playing seriously now, aren't you Shinji?" his opponent calmly returned the ball, making it feel as if he tolerated its presence inside his court only because it was necessary.

"...what the..? They're still going at it?" Kamio noticed the one match that was underway. "Then again, with Tachibana-san as his opponent.." it seems the captain could bring out something in each of them, every time and without fail.
"Shinji held his own a while.. but I think it's 5-3... it should end soon. They're having one of those mad ending volleys" Mori had enough time to observe the matches today. "Tachibana-san has unbelievable stamina" he crossed his arms and leaned back against the fence. Soon enough, they were joined by the soaked Sakurai, Uchimura and Ishida, creating a cluster of attentive spectators. After watching the two sweat it out for a minute, Kamio took off somewhere.

Well, the captain noticed. Of course Shinji couldn't expect less.
"That won't work against me, you know" Tachibana laughed lightly. Not mocking him, of course. He wouldn't mock his teammates. It was as if Shinji was just playing a joke on him, and he was laughing at its humor factor.
He'd been trying to use his Spot since the fourth game. "...hm.. I know" of course he noticed. "You take one step back.. before actually hitting the ball" he murmured before sending the aforementionned ball with a slice. "You're throwing my calculations off.. but not doing anything else, really" The captain is letting him try for that spot, and it makes for quite a long last game. Of course the captain would win.
"..well, you're not doing anything else either, are you Shinji?"

Shock. That's right. Shinji realized what a waste of time it had been to keep hitting topspins and slices while his opponent kept countering his plan. "..I had to try once.. against you" yeah, that's what he wanted at first.
"There is a difference between trying.. and relying on it for a win" the captain noted, hitting Shinji's topspin back at him.
"...hn. fine, I get it" The lob he hit could have gotten a point out of most other players...
"That's better.. but not quite good enough" The instant response was.. a smash. One heck of a smash too. "You did put up a good fight, Shinji" there was a reason he was the team's captain, other than him being a third-year.

"Hey you two! Rythm's up!" Kamio called out, tossing them each one can of popular power-drink. That's where he was returning from, just in time! He thought these two would welcome something cold.
Tachibana snatched the can from the air and nodded to the dark red-haired youth, his thanks spoken out by his smile. "Be sure to cool down properly and drink a lot of water." he adressed all his players as he pulled the ring in order to get acess to the ion supply drink inside the can. "..then you can all go on home for today." he was aware that this weather could help build stamina and the team used this willingly, but forcing it would not be good.
Shinji caught the drink and sat on the ground, a string of incoherent half-panted mutterings came out as he decided the back of his neck needed that cold can more than his throat for now. His racket was left to fend for itself... as if any predators roamed around here.

"Come on! Let's go cool down at the arcade!" Mori grabbed the smaller Uchimura and dragged him towards the changing room, the youth with the cap protesting "I'm coming, I'm coming! No need to pull!"
The rest chuckled lightly, amused by the pair's antics. Shinji was seemingly off in his own world.
"Maybe we can try a jog to the sukiyaki place? Who's in?" Sakurai asked, immediately joined by Ishida.
"How can you guys eat that when it's so warm outside?" Kamio was amazed. "I'll probably go for some sushi once I feel hunger poking at me"
"Go on ahead" Tachibana nodded towards the way out of the courts. "I'll catch up before you guys even get your chopsticks in hand"
And with that, the two started their jog.

Shinji had actually opened his can, so he was now taking random sips from it, mutterings having died. He was still posessed by the feeling of the match... how he felt every inch of the captain's muscles throughout the match. He radiated power, agility and grace, not to mention the charisma he initially posessed. He drew people to him. He was mesmerizing. Day by day, Shinji felt more and more like this.
"Yo, back to earth yet?"
The voice was Kamio's.. and he was holding out a hand to him, in order to help him up without him having to actually let go of his drink. How thoughtful. "Hn." he nodded to the other teen, taking the offered hand. "Thanks" he murmured as Tachibana offered him his racket, which he picked up from the ground. "...Tachibana-san.." purple-blue eyes moved to their gently smiling leader, who cocked his head slightly, in anticipation for him to go on. "..we have to win" It wasn't a question. it was a fact. "...you're a third-year...this is our only chance..."
Kamio glances between the two. That's right. Next year... their captain would be gone. Why is it... that he pictured the team together like that until the end of time? Nice reality check.The three of them slowly made their way to the club's changing room as Their captain replied to the blue-haired youth.
"Shinji. It's not like that at all. Of course it would be good if we could get the highest recognition" hey, winning tournaments is a very good thing. "..but I'm not saying all of you are obligated to win. First and foremost, I want you all to have fun.. and to be proud of yourselves" The smile he gave, along with those words.. This was Tachibana Kippei, the man they all looked up to.

Once they were inside the room, Shinji stored his racket away, as did the other two. "I... like Tachibana-san..." he murmured. this brought him a light, panicked glance from Kamio, who was quick to add his voice "I like Tachibana-san too"
"I like you as well. In fact, I'm fond of everyone. You're all working so hard" Tachibana was again the pure-minded one.
Kamio shook his head slowly, finally deciding to just let it come into the open. "No. I don't want you to go either, Tachibana-san. I'm being selfish.. irrational.. but.." turned around... and promptly hooked himself on to the taller man's waist "..I like you, Tachibana-san... because of who you are."
Shinji moved a little off to the side and murmured "..my feelings aren't clear but.. I really like Tachibana-san too... A lot." Kamio seemed to share the same feelings, but it didn't look like it bothered him to.. share.

"I had hoped that it wouldn't come to this" Tachibana sighed lightly, looking from one to the other. "We all know how much it will hurt when I have to go. You two don't mind it?"
"I don't mind! I.. want.. Tachibana-san.." Kamio hung on as if his life depended on it.
Shinji seemed a bit more philosophical and murmured "...a little... is better than none. The experience may be short, but it's better than not having it at all"

"...you two.. don't make me regret being a third-year already" He would also have to warn them about club activities coming first.. but that could wait.
For now.. maybe.. he would be late the eat sukiyaki.... but that didn't really matter.

Finished, yay I feel like the ending sucks.. and it's supposedly the most important part... but anyway.. I will probably have to write anoter at some point.

My day.
Yes, I got up 5 minutes before 7 again, woot! I packed a yummy frozen chicken thing and iced tea.. and FORGOT it before dashing outside to catch the bus!!!
I didn't get breakfast, so I STARVED through FIVE long hours! until... yes! At 11:30 I got the hell out, got on the bus and went to BUY SUSHI!! Ebi-ShimeSaba!! yum! at 1$ apiece! EVEN YUMMIER! I'd have stopped by again, but.. hey, I STILL have 7$ in my pocket, not gonna waste it. I can save it to pre-order these singles ^___^

My hands are dead. before 2pm, all went well and work advanced steadily, my stupid saw was nce and cooperative. But then... after 2.. Forget it. It was nightmare and nothing worked. so at 4:30 I got on the bus, and onto home and read the blogcrew!!!

Hands hurt.. but anyway, that's just.. normal. And yes, pot 63 was funny, I agree with you, Kamio-kun! The funniest HAD to be Jiroh going extatic while saying: "aahh I'm so disapointed!" Oh yeah, you really sound dissapointed, yu-huh ^_^ I think Shishido said he didn't even knew the meaning of the word 'down'... This says all.
And YES I still want a Fudoumine polo!
Wheee foodage soon. i need it. Only ate 4 sushi in uh... 10 hours O.o;; I am soo not taking care of myself. Scary... gotta be more atentive to my body's pleas for food.

Nyaaah-ho! This keyboard sucks, I can't do any linebreaks with it.. no brakets, bleh... Anyway, this morning was very fun. My mom woke me up 5 minutes before 7am (I had to take the bus) and proceeded to tell me that eating ramen at 10pm when I had to rise at 6 wasn't good. She thought I spent the whole night on the net. Hello? I got off to bed at 12 and it was because my body was exhausted. She threatened to cut my net and said I wasn't serious in my studies. What the hell!? 'che, can't believe this. Oh, I also gotta find a job, she says. Yeah it'd be nice of course, but hell, if I gotta be at the labs to finish my jewelry projects, it'll suck. Bad thing today: will have to spend cash on some lunch as I had no time to pack anything, wanting to flee from my mother as soon as I could.No way I,Ll spend my 5$, so I have an extra 2$.. urk... cup ramen.. with a plastic spoon, I guess? Doesn't sound great, especially since the last cup I got had very overcooked noodles. Bleh. I don't feel like waiting two more hours to go cut up metal ._. but if I don't, mom's probably going to yell and say I,M behind everyone and... sigh. Maybe I should give up and go read manga at the store.. it's been long since I did that.. damnit.... Now I wanna go there... but.. if I do that, then I'll have lots to catch up on tomorrow. AUGH what a dilemma.... I'll probably browse around and read stuff, then.. go eat.. maybe see if RL!Jiroh's hanging around. but bwaaah I don't FEEL like cutting up that stupid metal ._. I should probably go eat and try to write up the intro of that ficcie I wanted to write yesterday... A fic the world needs more of... *goes off to browse some more* damn I miss RPs ._.

The terror of my last post is past, I now grace you with..

Jiroh's unlucky day final part!

"DUCK!" Yuuta suddenly shouted, promptly diving behind a very strategically placed barrel.
"Duck...? Where Da Ne? O-oi Yuuta, you're calling me that too-GWEH!" The poor duck-boy had no further time or breath to protests, having been grabbed by the collar and pulled along to hide.
...and thne reason for Yuuta's reaction? Jiroh was curious, so he paid Sengoku no heed, scanning the vincinity.. and focused.. on... "Is it real? Is this really for real!?" he was cheering aloud. Only a street corner away... "Finally!" he yelled with glee, taking off into a sprint.. towards the one and only Fuji Syuusuke!
...he, however, failed to notice Yuuta's foot. Did the little brother actually intended to trip him? You bet. He was going to have them noticed.. well, as if the passerbys staring weren't already aware of them hiding strangely.
And so.. splat went the poor Jiroh as Sengoku breezed past "Ah, lucky! The bus is coming" he intoned in a songlike manner.

Bus!? Raising his head from the pavement, he could only attempt to scramble up. Fuji was going to leave!!! ...and he was out of bus tickets too.
"Wait a second Da Ne! Aren't we going to your house Da Ne? Shouldn't we get on that bus too Da Ne?" Sharp thinking from Yanagisawa's part.
"No. We'll take the one. I won't ride together with him" Still trying to preserve that rock wall image. But well, he was crumbling. Not that he'd admit it!

"Don't leaaave!" Jiroh cried out, launching himself from the asphalt in a clumsy but effective manner, getting to his feet in order to try and catch the bus, hoping the change in his pocket would be enough. "WaitWaitWait!!"
The strenght of the mind, the incredible prowess of him actually moving, the will that drove him on... none of these quite mattered when he ran out of stamina.
"...he left...." There was the lightest sigh, covered by a light howl of wind as it sped by and ruffled his hair. He'd made his way in the park, not willing to think of what to do yet, mind still abuzz.

A red blur passed by, pedalling furiously "Running's good training, eh?"
A blue-haired youth followed suit, muttering "..of course you'd do that. you always do that... I' tired. It's hot. Say, isn't it time for an eclipse? The heat is annoying.... really... and I think I have a pebble in my shoe. It really hurts, you know? ....of course you would..."
Salvation came for Jiroh, in the form of a bench that could be sighted around the bend! Sleep was the best thing to do right now! It would never let him down, and.. he really needed a nap. A long yawn... and a slow blink. Someone was already occupying the bench. A dark-haired sleeper. As if he would mind. He didn't hesitate in claiming the space left next to the other youth's feet, and sleep overcame him as soon as he closed his eyes.

He and Kirihara were going to get on very well...

Wheeee finished! happy! Comments? Go ahead, not crushing your arm or anything. That one took me awhile to finish.. but I did it ^_^b

Jiroh's unlucky day part 4 1/2

"Aah, Higuma Otoshi was really awesome though" Jiroh nodded to himself after gulping down his last fully-munched mouthful. "And that other one.. what was it again..? Hakuge..." It seemed like a dream, that match. A very good dream. "Ah, and that serve!" a firm nod. He wouldn't forget Fuji's service so easily! "..hm.. I think I have yet to return it too" he almost had it, but then it had switched to his service game. "I want to play him again! I really really want to!" well, with these thoughts, he was certain to remain awake until at least.. the next street corner, maybe.
While he spoke to himself, he threw the apple's core into the air, where it spun three times on itself before gravity called it back fr the youth's hand to catch it and send it in the air again...
A familiar cyclist passed him by, blue hair flying behind him, murmuring "...running is really good training... yes, Tachibana-san was right..."
Behind him, barely a foot away ran Fudoumine's Kamio. "doryaaaaaaaa!!!!! I'll get you with rythm!" Neither of them seemed to be bothered by the heat, probably too fast for the sun's rays to catch up with them. The vaccuum created by their passage blew off newspapers in the air to the dismay of the stall's owner.

"Ah, Fudo-san-ju are so energetic" an orange-haired youth commented as they duo ran by. "That's too bad" Not that he sounded overly worried about it. "I'm looking forward to the next tournament. Hm-hm" he nodded twice, snatching one page of newspaper as it flew past, browsing it over. "Lucky, 200 yen off! Dinner time's coming around soon" a smile spread on Sengoku's face. He was always so lucky! Discarding the rest of the page after ripping the coupon off, his blue-green eyes focused on a mop of cinnamon-brown hair a few feet in front of him. "Hyotei-ju? That's a rare sight" hey, another proof he got lucky, he spotted that one sleeper awake!

Gah, speaking of which, I gotta sleep now. I will hopefully post this fic's last part tomorrow First I have to actually try to write it. I have an idea of where I want it to go, but.. getting there is another matter... For now, Le sommeil m'attend!

Jiroh's unlucky day part 4

There was only so much that raw willpower could achieve. It was a jungle out there. Kill or be killed, sleep or.. um.. be slept? "..this makes no sense.." Jiroh shook his head rubbing his eyes. He wasn't used to see so much of that big ball of light in the sky, the sun. The light was so bright... and the more he saw it, the more he thought it annoying. How he longed to close his eyes again, and drift off to that cottonball-world called 'sleep'. He dimly wondered if the Fujis' house was still far.

The sun was still high in the sky and glaring down at the world below. From the asphalt, small waves of heat could be seen, rising lazily to show in a somewhat tangible manner just how hot the atmosphere had gotten. No clouds were in sight, so the shop awnings were the only means of shading oneself.
Jiroh got closer to the two in order to be able to spend some time buying an apple from a street vendor and still not lose sight of them. He settled quickly for the fruit since it contained a portion of water and also provided an opportunity for him to focus on eating it instead of being pulled towards his desire to sleep. At least the action of munching required him to be awake to perform, and that's all he needed for now.
"...how longer are they going to walk?" he wondered aloud between bites of the ripe, tasty fruit.

I am strangely stuck, so I'll post this for now and hope to be inspired later I don't want anything to happen too fast, or things to drag on too long, you know. ._. and I still want a Fudoumine polo......

Should I press this little button? dilemma!!!! 30$=5 packs of poT trading cards. then again, I DID get ONE of the ONLY 2 special cads ina box -presumably- and it was Momo.. so maybe.. i,ll concentrate on Vol2 and forget about trying my luck on Vol 1. yes... okay then.. Hopefully these two will have a song worth the money *orders*

Jiroh's unlucky day part 3 1/2

Once Jiroh set his sights on a something -or in this case someone- not much could stop him. He of course gripped onto his only chance to reach Seigaku's prodigy, hopes resting on the two he had been following since some time.
It seems Yanagisawa went on a monologue, the younger boy at his side was silent, content to merely listen.
The talk about the various random subject was punctured by the usual 'Da Ne' far too often for one's sanity to be intact after a whole hour. This proved without a doubt that Yuuta, along with most of St. Rudolph's tennis club, posessed infinite amounts of patience to deal with someone having such an annoying speech pattern.

Suddenly, a yawn cut through the air.
"You're right da ne! training is pretty tough on days like this Da Ne! Heat makes me sleepy too Da Ne!"
"Yanagisawa-senpai... that wasn't me." It didn't cross Yuuta's mind that a certain sleeper could have made that sound. He figured that he was still in that alley, drowsing the day off. "It's probably someone that passed us by" he decided to blame someone in the crowd.
"Probably Da Ne." Seems he didn't quite mind either way.
Jiroh let out another yawn, stiffling it with his forearm. A small tear of sleepiness hung from the corner of his eye, but it got wiped away. this was no time to be sleepy! Fuji was waiting! ...well, Seigaku's Fuji. With the thought replenishing his willpower, he walked onwards!

"...and then it went just like this" the youth with shortstrands of bleached-white hair cut the air with his hand, to demonstrate some definite path and speed. "..so i thought-" an abrupt stop. "..Shishido-senpai... look. Over there" Ootohri nodded towards the opposite side of the sidewalk.
First, he was staring incredulously.. then squinting. "...The world's gonna end, right? That guy's actually awake." he took off his cap to run a hand through his hair before putting it back on. "....we're hallucinating..."
Ootohri had to nod in accord. "Hai, Shishido-senpai. We definitely are" He'd rather think of it that way. "..as I was saying, it went just like this, back then..."

yaaaaaawn Poor Jiroh. He had to shake that sleepiness off. Coffee would be just the thing... If only he could cross a vending machine's path. That would be nice. But no! This.. it's a test!

That was short.. sorry, can't think of anything else right now. Maybe more cameos coming up.. dunno... but anyway. Sorry about this part being so short, really..

Jiroh is indeed... HAWT when he's awake... hehehehe ^^ DOMO Shishido-san! *hugs*
Oh, and I'm glad you liked my fic, Kamio-kun ^_^

Only 8am, wondering if going back to sleep is possible. My mom discovered taht turning up the radio silences the dog. Thing is it kills my sleep. I'm a light sleeper. I want Jiroh genes ^^;;; I'll try anyway. Still drooling at piccie... chocolate, custard cream.. and two bishies....

I can't hope mere energy -food and sleep- will do the trick. This sucks. I may just hope to be able to write ater tonight. Sorta wanna try that Jiroh fic again... now that I saw him fangirling... eheh ^

Oh and... darn, I need, crave Fudoumine piccies. Really, no joke. I have no clue why I like these guys that much... anyway... they just... rock. Yeah. Go Fudoumine!
Jiroh caught another nap at 05:42 p.m. on Wednesday, February 12, 2003

JUST BECAUSE!! hahhaha ^^ thanks, Kamio-kun!
Apologies if the beginning is crappy. I never really use that sentence-only thing, but... On with the show! oh and, if you laugh at the title, I'll grab my racket!
Rythm of Light a fic you can guess the pairing!

"...Tachibana-san... he was really into it today, wasn't he?"
"hm-hm"
"I wonder how you can run around that much. The heat was annoying today"
"hm-hm"
"Ishida-kun's power increased again... Did you see what happened to Uchimura-kun's racket?"
"hm-hm"
"....are you listening?"
"hm-hm"
"...You're not...."
"hm-hm"
"...and to think that for once I was actually talking about stuff you can understand.. and interests we share... it's not as if I was talking about african stag beetles.. or himalayan goats. Speaking of which, one of my cousins went there once. I think I still have that scarf he brought back.. stashed away somewhere. It's made from llama pelt. Really warm. Of course it's too warm to be worn here, but it makes for an interesting unique collector item"
"hm-hm"

"........." Shinji blinked slowly, and then cocked his head, observing the other youth.
Kamio was walking at a moderate pace, as he always was when accompanying his friend, pushing his bicycle along. The large padded bag in which his racket slept had been slung on his right shoulder and kept itself still. As always, there were many strands of hair dyed of a dark fushia color hanging in front of one deep blue eye, hiding it, at least most of it, from the rest of the world.
It also kept Shinji from being able to read the emotions that could be brushing the surface of this window to the soul. "....if you were listening, you would have told me to stop saying nonsense already.." "hm-hm"
"...as I said. You're not listening. You're really not listening at all.." he shook his head, blue hair having restrained movement because of the cap he wore. "It's not like you... I'm the one who should be spacing out. I remember once I was so spaced out that Ishida-kun had to dump a whole bucket of water on me so I could finally get back down to earth. You all laughed then. Even Tachibana-san.... well.. of course he would, I bet he was the one who suggested it. Then I was all wet, my clothes and hair sticky and generaly very uncomfortable. I don't like being wet that much... except if we're talking about showers. That's deliberate wetness" he nodded to himself. "Rain's never good. It makes tennis unplayable most of the time too... but that's what makes grass green and fish healthy and all that. Without fish, we wouldn't have sushi. This would be bad...."

A deliberate pause, another look towards his companion. Kamio's face, from this point of view, was unreadable. Shinji didn't see anything off in his companion's behavior while the team practiced. It was when they all got to change back into their uniforms that he became nearly speechless. "..."
The youth with the purple-blue dyed hair sighed lightly, shifting his racket bag from one shoulder to the other. The city looked gray, the sky colorless. "...you're not going to speak?"
Silence answered him.
"...Akira.." he murmured, stopping in his tracks, hand hooking the other youth's shoulder. Whenever Shinji adresses anyone by name, it probably meant serious, close buisness. He still kept his voice to his usual low murmur. He was almost home... their paths would separate soon and there was no way he was going to let him go like this!
"...eh? What is it?" It's as if Kamio came back to the world of the living all of a sudden, slightly lost. "Sorry.. I guess I spaced out." he laughed lightly before looking away, studying his bicycle as if it were the 9th World Marvel.

It was only for a second, but he could feel it. On the outside, Kamio appears like a very complex person, but once that part is figured out, it becomes rather simple to even predict how he will react, and even feel. Shinji is the opposite. He looks and acts so plain that people don't really bother to scratch and discover all of what lies inside. Shinji could tell, when they played against Seigaku, that this Ryoma brat was hiding something... but it took him a longer while to see what his companion hid from him.

"...hm..... I wonder why it took me so long.. to notice" he murmured. The slight tension he felt in the shoulder he'd held told him what he needed to know. He was right. Something was up.
What did this tell him? Shinji thought he took long to notice? He shouldn't jump to conclusions, but.. hey, he wasn't the type to stay in one place and unmoving for long! He noticed it, of course he would, it's Shinji! "Now... what are you going to do about it?" He dimly wonders how obvious he was this time. it's not that he meant to show t so openly, but... after all this time, his mind probably snapped. Even if the sun was beating down on them, he felt cold. Now, warmth returned, gradually with every second that passed since his friend stopped him.
What was Shinji going to do? It wasn't even a question that deserved a spoken answer. He felt the attraction now. It could almost be touched. It was like a magnet. Such a simple comparison.. but it worked. After all, Akira was a simple person below all that puzzling complicated behaviour.

And so, no words were provided to answer the red-haired one.

It sufficed only of one kiss.

(edited)Lookit! My fic's part 3! yeah.. that fic.. you know, the one I wrote last week?
Yup.. more unluckiness...

Jiroh's unlucky day part 3

"Hey, are you sure you're going the right way Da Ne?" the newest actor needed no introduction., neither did the one leading.
"Yanagisawa-senpai, I think I know how to get home on my own at my age" the sentence could have been spoken with a hint of sarcasm or impatience.
"Fine, fine then, Da Ne. If you-Whoa!"
CRASHPieces of random garbage flew theatrically into the air.
"Da-daijoubu, Yanagisawa-senpai?" that looked like it might have hurt.
"Ittai, Da Ne! who tripped me?" Yes, his feet got tangled up in a pair of legs previously, before his fall.
"..hnn.....?" the sleepy figure sat up slowly and then blinked.

Jiroh awoke to find one person lying close by.. and another staring down at him.
It was FUJI! ...well, the other Fuji. The little brother. Seeing the youth reminded him of that nap he had to catch up. Well, he certainly did catch one that wasn't scheduled now! Thanks to the juice or whatever he drank that left an awful aftertaste in his mouth. Thanks to this, he also lost track of Fuji... Fuji Syuusuke!

"Sometimes I wonder if Fate likes to laugh at me" Yuuta sighed. "Why is he here?" There weren't really any hard feeling about the loss, but he and Jiroh's paths seemed to crisscross each other often. Too often.
"You're not the one who tripped into him Da Ne!" Yanagisawa noted, picking a banana peel out of his hair and getting back on his feet.
"Let's go already. He should be okay" the youth with the scarred forehead started off again, figuring that the road hazard was back to sleep.
"Why are we going there Da Ne? I thought you didn't like to spend time with your bro-ah... Seigaku's Fuji Da Ne" he caught himself in time.
"Neesan baked pies" was the murmured reply, a faint blush tinting his cheeks.
"Aha! A bribe Da Ne!"
Jiroh only needed only needed to hear one thing. Seigaku's Fuji! yuuta was going to his brother's home! Perfect opportunity!
The chase was on again...

And so he followed the duo at a safe distance. "I'm going to get him... I am" He clenched a fist, eyes flashing with determination.

The air grew still, and for a moment there was perfect silence. Was the world perfect, right this second? Was it that balance had finally been found between all of its creatures?
As if it were all only illusion, time started to move again.

Sundays were the occasion for some teams to get out and train... and develop special methods as well. A flash passed Jiroh by.....
"That's my bicycle!!" a red-haired person was coming towards him, running at breakneck speed. "Tachibna-san didn't mean to do /exactly/ taht! Shinji!!" Kamio yelled out to the cyclist, Jiroh's air being ruffled by the vacuum produced by the high-speed running of the one who'd passed him by.
"..he's right... it's good training" the blue-haired youth murmured, pedaling. As if anyone could hear him.
A distant cry of "rizumu ni naruze!!" ressounded.

Yes, strange things happened. Not that Jiroh would remember these two. It was merely a rare sight around here. He didn't give up, following Fuji's little brother and his companion through the streets, the park.. but he waited OUTSIDE of that record store until he saw them pop out again. He had no desire to end up with a CD imprinted around his eye. He had enough of his nose hurting for today.

Gomen, minna, gonna pause it here for now. School and stuff. bleh. Plus, I feel sorta sleepy I hope you've enjoyed it. Now going to crash. Sorry again.
Jiroh caught another nap at 05:47 p.m. on Monday, February 10, 2003

Rewatching episode 61, I realized I had afeeling this would happen. Taka-san did say he'd quit tennis after graduating, so.. of course his arm wouldn't matter, maybe unlike Ishida, who still has at least a year in him unless he wants to go pro.

And I will hopefully go to school and suceed in thinking up my fic's part 3. How much more unlucky can the poor Jiroh get? Already fairly KOed from Inui's drink ^^;
Well.. see you all soon.

In any case... glad everyone likes my random link to PoT stuff ^____^ eheheh.... If you get Yuuta's single, I may plead you for the MP3s ^^; I mean, TRY to find that on WinMX.. many songs are titled that... though maybe with Yuuta's name.... aaahhh well.

Mezamero ima koso rizumu ni naruze!

Yes, I love Kamio's song ^^ To think that a mere week ago I was still in major lusting for Fudoumine-tachi's songs.. and had no clue that I would get as lucky as Sengoku just before midnight.

I was rewatching PoT 1 to 4.. and you know, I could see how the seiyuu had improved and gotten into character a great deal over these bunch of episodes... I think Horio got a lot more.. um.. full of himself ^^ but still, Sakuno and Tomoko.. needed.. t be shot. Annoying.

In any case, PoT=goodness. Now going to watch 22 for.. at least the 10th time since the blessed day I downloaded it.

To think I was getting Hikago and not PoT.... until I saw a random PoT ad.. I think it was after Hikago's 1-hour special.. or the preview for it.. It previewed the 1-hour long PoT too.. and I thought it looked sorta neat..

and also, I got A-O's PoT 02 cause my 02's sound was crappy..

woot. life seems sorta fun again.. procrastinating boring philosophy homework, nyah.

What's in a name anyway? Ah well.. I,ll call him Eiji just to please myself ^^ eheheh... oh wait! Better yet, I can call it kamio. It's red.. and has rythm ^^ I think it may love my mp3s.. or my modem's lights?

Further web searches... and... it seems Yuuta's song is titled *ahem* Blood Oooh.. interesting *grin* WANT PROOF!? lookie! Now I think I am owed some yays or stuff.. I should be sleeping, but ... well.. again, may have done good for whoever reads this nonsense z_z Oh, also, I think I saw Shinji's single as 35th and Kamio's at 35 on the chart..

Jiroh caught another nap at 01:24 p.m. on Thursday, February 6, 2003

Just because i am bored and have nothing to do since a full hour... part two of what was below..

Jiroh's unlucky day ...part two...

"Ooowww" Jiroh whimpered, discouraged in even brushing the tip of his nose. Pain does that to someone, especially one as sharp as that. He didn't like the feel of that band-aid at all, but if he had to choose.. well, it was better than that pain.
He gave up on it with a light sight and stepped out on the street again. Note to self: never go back in there. It was rare for him to learn new lessons, but today he learned at least that one... so far. Now... where was Fuji? Time to start looking around.. this time with more alertness to the danger of spiked plants that shouldn't even be in Japan in the first place.

Smile seemingly never leaving his features, Fuji was now walking with his hands clasped behind his back, glancing this way and that at random shops. He had left the burden of carrying his room's new addition to Kawamura. He did ask at least ten times if he wouldn't let him carry it, so of course Fuji decided to just hand the large potted cactus over after a while. "Taka-san, did you hear..? I think Inui was trying out a new recipe today"
"...he.. never does stop, does he?" the taller youth laughed lightly, having a sudden, omnious feeling. "..ah... ano.. Fuji... you're not.. ah... going to try and see?" They were supposed to head on home, not to a torture session!
It was Fuji's turn to laugh. "As much as I'd enjoy the first taste, I don't know exactly where he's doing the tests." Who could tell what was going on inside the scary one's mind? "It would certainly be amusing... to see the effects"
Sweatdrop. Hey, why can he see some fire in the background? that's his trademark! He wasn't as relieved as he should be...

Thanks to that cactus, he found them again! Victory! ...well, partial victory. Of course, Fuji looked unnaproachable with that plant.. not to mention the one holding it. Oh, wait, Kawamura wasn't a threat in Jiroh's mind! Neither was the plant that collided with him not even a half-hour earlier. It seems nothing would have him back down from the chase. Since the sun was beating down mercilessly, he had grabbed some grape juice from a small restaurant. It also reminded him that he hadn't eaten anything since stepping on the train earlier... this morning.

The sun illuminated the city with its bright, warm rays. It reflected itself on the windows of buildings and cars.. and off the glasses of one man standing on a rooftop. People walked below the high buildings, perhaps tempting fate....
"Wind speed, 3 kilometers an hour. Distance from the collision point, 20 meters." everything was penned down neatly in a harcover green notebook for his personal data. "Weight, 100 grams." he held out the plastic glass, transparency letting a dark purple liquid be seen through. "Weather, sunny. Temprature... thirty degrees celcius. Humidity, 60 percent" A glance was given to his watch "Time, 14:26"
The pen and notebook were deposited nearby, and the the glass claimed. With slow steps, he approached the edge of the roof.

"Ah... Fujiko... I think the guy from the store is following us" How can someone with a band-aid on his nose be mistaken for a random passerby? "He's in Hyotei, right? Maybe.. maybe he's just going the same way we are" it was more to reassure himself. It was pretty creepy to be stalked. Ths time though, people would be right to assume about.. relationships.
"Is he now...?" Fuji innocently spoke after glancing at his watch. "Taka-san, watch where you're going" he gently changed his partner's course, passing by a square area formed by four red x's on the sidewalk before a corporate building, just off the entrance.

"Go" was murmured to the glass.. and Inui let it it drop from the rooftop. "Speed of the fall-" wait, a distraction. omeone stepped into the test area. "..this..."
Of course Jiroh was unaware of this test.. and of the fact a glass of.. something was being pulled down by gravity. It coincidencially pushed the other glass out of his fingers, and immediately replaced it. A blink, a glance at the glass.. and of course he failed to notice the difference. The color was the same, after all... A shrug, and...
"This... might be good data" Glasses flashed in the sun.

"Gyyaaaaahhhhhhh!" The taste... was something terrible. It was not grape juice. Its concistency was similiar to liquid mollasses, and there was a hint of spice among all that saltiness. These two flavors were proeminent. Then came a tinge of.... soy sauce, and after that a faint herbal-like taste.
He felt like he was going to be sick... or worse.

"Eh? what was-" Turning around, Takashi's eyes became slightly wider in surprise.
Fuji was immensely pleased to see Jiroh on the ground, twitching. "Oyasumi" he breathed out before lifting his eyes up the building... and giving a thumbs-up to Inui. "This one looks really tasty too!" he called out.
Was it entirely coincidential, Kawamura wondered, that they had to come this way...?

Yup, that's all for now, again I imagined the part with Inui on the bust and almost laughed my lungs out... And yes, poor Jiroh ^^; I'm being evil with him, but.. he'll survive.

First! Tachibana!? Droolworthy... why'd he cut his hair? ._.
And this is what I wanted to show y'all earlier. I bet he's born in 86 or something ^_^

PoT 61 is tagged 'soon' for realease.. and.. gawds this day drained me BUT!! I saw a Real Life Jiroh! The perfect hair and all c.c AND he was sleeping on the floor in one of the art school corridors *laughs* My GOD I just.. sat and stared cause I could. Nyahahahha!!!!!

Oh, this looks nice too ^^ Year of the Tiger, Shinji? *grin*
Jiroh caught another nap at 06:55 a.m. on Wednesday, February 5, 2003

..hm.. look at that.. I'm actually up somewhat early. I think I woke up almost every hour, for some reason. A good thing is that I didn't seem to sweat. I think i will put this on the fact that That Time of the Month is over.
Preparing for a very long, extra-crappy school day. Let's see Murphy work things HIS way and make me go to my friend's tonight -.- Don't you love Murphy? Oh, and my fish has been alive for 3-4 months up until now. I am impressed. It is in a great form. I may rename it and call it Sengoku c.c ... oh, great, I just reminded myself the 'Inui juice popsicle' thing. Green. Frozen. Scary....

And I want to get a 'comments' thingee too.. except the comment boxes all seem dead ^^;; hahhaa.... gonna go eat and try to further wake myself. Of course, the waking up part will be done with Kamio's song while on the bus. Eheh! Mezaero ima koto rizumu ni naruze! Speaking of which: lookie More of the two from Fudoumine. Yeah. Obsessed? Me? Yu-huh.
Jiroh caught another nap at 05:53 a.m. on Wednesday, February 5, 2003

Oh... fanart *drools*

Jiroh looks darned sexay, I say...
Lookie, ShiShi-chan!! Cuteness ^^ Fierce-looking Shishido!
CoffeJiroh? He looks really genki. like a Nescafe ad.
Droolworthy Shinji
MOMO! Just because ^.^
Awwwww! Taka-san! Trying to choose, maybe?
Kamio-kun, kawaii!
It struck me as immensely funny..
Kamibu kawaii!!! aaawww! Oh and to heck, check out the full page It is good.

that's it for now ^^ Yes, for now c.c And I call anything having to do with Fudoumine's rythm freak and the muttering one "Kamibu" most of times, so get used to it. ...and by the way, I don't think it is pink on Fudo-san-ju's clothes. It is MAGENTA. Dark pink. Let us call colors by their name, ne? Pink is more... girly c.c and yes I know!! i have a friend who calls ANYTHING that's not red pink and ... that's it. There's no point really.. I'm just... rambling ^^;; hahahha *shuts up*
Jiroh caught another nap at 06:35 p.m. on Tuesday, February 4, 2003

Slight dissapointment. School closed at 11 cause of mad snowstorm. DUH, my class was over at 11. Jeez...
Dissapointment 2, the sushi weren't that great. i didn't like the taste. The eel was good, but the sauce they'd put on it.. well.... not. I couldn't even bring myself to bite into the tako. Le sigh. Next time, I,ll take Tuna-mackerel... because I KNOW it tastes good.

Now awaiting salvation -.- yes. RP.
Jiroh caught another nap at 01:13 p.m. on Tuesday, February 4, 2003

Yay, I am up! This means I can EAT before going to class! Whoohoo, go me!
And Shishi-chan got me curious about what Fuji does in 63 -.- Ah well! HYOTEI! Ganbatte! You can say! Let's go! Yup, I still have it in my head... as well as the image of Jiroh with a cactus spike in his nose and Fuji looking EVIL....

..and in 5 hours or so, I will be happy.. with tako nigiri-sushi.. and if they have some, eel too! And RP... RP=fun.... mushinesssss....

I will also be HAPPY in the bus, listening to Fudoumine-tachi's songs ^___^v waiwai!!! I can't wait! Maybe I can paint the Fudoumine kanji or whatever on the back of my winter coat.. even if it is Seigaku-blue... um.. okay it'll be weird (see me go into Shinji-ramble mode) I'll actually stop now ^^; I only have 20 minutes left before going c.c and as I listen to Shinji's song, I picture that music video.. and I almost laughed in the bus yesterday when I remembered Woodcutter-Tachibana... hehehheee ^^

Time for me to go. Have a good day everyone!
*quickly makes a Shinji Icon and renames the application to Ibusoft Word* eheheh.. take that, Windows XP ^^ I love making icons for stuff ^_^ Plus, Shinji FITS like a glove for Word doesn't he?
Jiroh caught another nap at 06:48 a.m. on Tuesday, February 4, 2003

Due to a promise made to Shishido-san and the fact I actually wanted to, I wrote this ficlet thing today.. well actually not the whole of it, but i just gotta finish it here ^^ or else it'll suck!

Jiroh's unlucky day

'Sunday'. This usually meant a nice, quiet day to rest or bask in the sun. This also was at some times the one day where important club activities or meetings took place. There was -luckily for one sleeper- none of those today.
Akutagawa Jiroh was, as usual, travelling the seas of sleep.
Public transportation, however, was not the choice spot to do this specific activity.

"...eh?" was his first reaction to waking up in a slightly unexpected environment. He stared blankly through the window at the present station's name, head slightly cocked to the left. "..Shi-bu-ya.." he yawned out the name slowly, not bothering to wipe remnants of sleep from his eyes.
"..that's.. the end of the lane" he murmured to himself, his thought process getting in gear slowly as he picked himself from his slumped position. Running his hand through his messy, pale brown strands of short hair. A long yawn, and his eyes got moving, scanning the platform. By chance or accident he happened to focus on one teenager sitting on a bench. "...wha...?"

The clothes were nothing that would attract attention. A beige polo shirt, worn with black shorts that were certain to hold the blazing sun's attention for a while also provided sight of well-trained legs.
What made the normally nonchalant Jiroh suddenly full of awareness was the teenager's face, whose features were instantly recognizable. He could be picked up froma crowd in the blink of an eye.
Yes. The strands of brown-red hair that easily floated in any wind, the eyes that were always apparently closed, that sharp, pointy nose and the gently smiling lips.

"Fuji... Shuusuke..."
There was no mistake. It was him. Seishun Gakuen's prodigy, seated only a few meters away from him. The lethargic one was suddenly sent into a rare moment of action by this realization. He leaped out of his seat and promptly disembarked the vehicle.
...only to find his prey gone. "....n-nani?" Jiroh blinked a few times, staring at the bench. He couldn't dissapear in such a short time. "..did I just.. imagine him there?" he wondered aloud. Maybe he was dreaming. To verify this, he lightly bit the tip of his index finger. Nope, he wasn't dreaming. He could feel a bit of pain, and that was all he needed.

Fuji was here! He was.. somewhere! maybe hiding behind that stack of papers..? no. was he under the bench then? Neither. Did he step on the train? No, there was no way he would have gotten in wihout them at least crossing paths!
He gave up after a full quarter of an hour... and coincidentially spotted him! He bought.. takoyaki?

Even worse! it appeared.. that someone else was with him!? Shock. This was not right at all. Not right at all...

"...hm.." Everwide brown eyes shifted, glancing behind them. He thought he'd spotted a familiar face.
"Taka-san? It's going to get cold" his companion reminded him about their food, which he seemed to quite enjoy now.
"Ah... gomen, Fuji.." of course the other youth sprung back to attention and stabbed one of the food-balls.

Was he spotted? then again, did it matter that much? Jiroh was determined to follow them, and.. um.. and.. then.. well he hadn't thought that far already! That one dressed with the american flag patterned shirt and faded blue jeans.. he vaguely remembered him. Of course apart from Fuji, the rest of the world didn't quite matter right now.
Eventually, the two entered a shop, and he decided it was wise to wait... but.. well, time passes. He was not the most patient, and so.. it was either rush in or sleep on the spot. The choice wasn't hard! Bravely, he strode into the shop, swinging the door open, and..
"YEOW!!"
..and was greeted by a cactus. A large green lump.. and he'd happened to bump into it facefirst. This sight may have been the highlight of simple passerby's days.

"A-ano... daijoubu?" the one with the biggest eyebrows of all Seishun Gakuen asked, concerned. Wouldn't you be too if you saw someone with a cactus spike sticking out the tip of his nose?
Was it entirely coincidential that he happened to come in and have a close encounter with Fuji's newly-bought cactus? Aside from the circustances though.. there WAS a vivid pain. If any fragments of doubt about this being reality remained, they had been shattered moments ago.
"Yaaaah! It hurts!" The owner fortunately came to the youth's rescue... while Fuji pulled his companion away while commenting that 'someone sould have stayed in bed this morning'.

"...ah.. Fujiko... Was he really following us, you think?" Takashi asked, looking back at the shop, slightly worried.
This caused him to miss the flash of narrowed blue eyes, as well as a smirk. "Who knows..." it was gone, after an instant, and he was back to the seemingly ever-gentle Fuji. "Let's go show it to its new home now, Taka-san?" he shot a smile towards the taller youth, inviting him to speed up a fraction.

Yup, it's over for now folks I guess the fic can stand on its own like that, ne? It's been long since i,d written one of those, really.. And no, sorry, I didn't quite suceed in inputing shounen-ai stuff -.-
Jiroh caught another nap at 05:13 p.m. on Monday, February 3, 2003

That.. was a short rest. I could've spent an hour more lazying, but getting up an hur sooner means adding time to my day.. like to listen music -wai!- or write a ficcie plot. Yes, Shishi-chan's ficcie ^_^

Gonna go eat somethin' and then.. try watching PoT before going to schoo...
Jiroh caught another nap at 08:00 a.m. on Monday, February 3, 2003

I forgot my great aunt was staying with us tonight. I forgt she has te room up mine. I forgot what a light sleeper I was. I didn't think she'd move around that much. i,M tired.. and hungry.. and sweaty, and it's 4:30 am.

Very lovely. I wish I could slep with my headphones on.....

I feel so horribly weak. I will opefully go through this day.

...and yes, I think many people were made happy by my LUCKY get ^^. I think it's funny the fact I couldn't sleep is what made me coincidentially get up and on WinMX to check out if any of these songs were here... and hey, I got lucky! It helps not to be able to sleep sometimes!

and... 'keep on dreaming' sounds as funny as it did yesterday! Sei, ga, k you can say! Sei-ga, hey, sei-ga! let's go!

Fun ^^ I love music! *happy sigh* I'd almost burn it, but... I shouldn't waste yet another CD c.c Gonna wait for other songthings. The next get out on the 28th. I hope I can get lucky again...

And yay, ep 60 comes out in ...6 hours or so! wai wai! Taka-ness!!!!! I am already on the channel, +v'ed and waaiiiting!! nyahahha! Happy!!! Whoever said the year of the sheep was bad luck has snuck his foot in his eye.

Yes, a few seconds after romanizing Akira's song, I started on Shinji's.. and found it so easy. why? It's slow, and he's somewhat easier to understand too. Again, I may have made errors. I am NOT even familiar with romanizing or whatever, and can't even properly do it, this is a poor attempt. But I don't care. amuse yourself and sing ^^ as always, if anyone can translate.. wai!! It's stuff about asphalt.. and sky.. and rainbow? Justice and dream? whatever ^^; I'm not pretnding to undrstand all of it!

IV - Yuuta Fuji (yay, I wuved his voice)
V-It seems to be a duet with the bandana guy and 'da ne' guy. May just be fun!
VI- Kiyosumi Sengoku (it WILL have something to do with LUCKY, I can bet my sleep on it)
VII-Taichi Dan (someone's gonna be happy on 3/28)

I discovered that while looking for the Rivals seiyuus.. I am SO dying to know who is Kamio's, cause darn he sings so.. nicely. wai. Happy ^_^
oh, and if you want the songs, poke me on AIM... If I'm not answering outright, it's either that I'm sleeping, in class, or um.. out for a bit. Looki, it seems our friend
Again, I am up...
Already... Maybe I should try going back to bed. It.. IS sunday... I mean, I can get up at 8 TOMORROW, right? Right. Trust my mind, yuh-huh. nternal clocks are nice... sometimes.

I spent an hour and half listening to the cool Fudoumine songs! wai wai! I'd type a few lyrics, but not sure anyone'd get it. I mean, I can just translate a few words in the bunch...
The opening chords of Shinji,s song, the very first few... remind me of Stairway to Heaven... Shinji's song is sorta slow, but not boring at all. Not like, say, Tezuka's lullabye. But GAWDS Kamio's song just ROCKS!!! IT RAWKS I tell ya!!
Gonna go get breakfast just cause.

I am burning this and listening to it on REPEAT all NIGHT long!!!!!!!! yaaaaahhhooooeeee!!!!!
Thought I'd grab that 'keep on dreaming' song that was c/w Ometto Samba.. It's SO fun hearing that S-E-I-G-A-K-U! hahahhahah!! My GOD I should've burned it on CD too.. ah well ^^ ehhehe.. Fun ^_^

Don't tell me you weren't expecting it. I do LOVE PoT to death.. and can't.. wait.. to grab 60!! Now now, what else to say? It was lots of typing to put up all the crews links, but I did it! Go me!
I'm rewatching old episodes now... and gawds, the fiasco of Momo-Ryo playing doubles was hilarious!
I also wonder.. Taka-san got an ouchies to his wrist, and it seems he'll get even MORE ouchies in the coming episodes? Is he some sort of... ouchie-magnet? I guess that may just be part of his style? No one'd deliberately hurt Taka-san, right...? He's SO sweeeeet....

Yummy... yes, Finally, I am home, and enjoying a set of shrimp and mackerel sushi. I was surprised at the consistency of that last one, as well as its taste. Almost.. meaty-like bits and a salty taste.
The shrimp is welcome after that, ans I eat it without dipping it in that teriyaki sauce, or whatever it is.

I just have to.. find out how to do it. But overall, YAY go me!!

...and yes I uploaded the pic to Geocities but it seems not to cooperate c.c I know. Here is THE pic.
Strangely, if I go see that link, and then hit 'back' the image appears... .. weirdness C.c;

Well, I have played with this a little bit now... I have yet to figure out how to change that font size.. I think it's maybe too big for the bar on the side.
Aside from that, I found cute icons somewhere, but I imagine I have to upload them someplace -like uh.. my Geocities account-. Also, I,d like to work on some image to stick up there instead of that boringness.

May try that tomorrow... yes. For now... sleep sounds pretty good.
