I don't talk about my personal life much on this journal, mainly because well -- I don't really have an interesting life, especially when it comes to my friends and family. I mean, they're all extremely interesting people. But I'm not. And I tend to get along with them reasonably well. There's not much drama

He was awake and moving before he actually opened his eyes. A quick tuck and roll, a hard thump, and he was swinging the kunai he had hidden underneath his pillow.
A quick sweep of his feet would bring the intruder down then --
Too late. He was pinned. Hikaru opened his mouth to utter a incantation and found himself being pressed hard to the floor, with a hand clamped against his mouth. All around him, feathers floated down; somewhere in the tussle, his pillow had become ripped.
"Too slow," came the hiss. Hikaru could feel the point a senbon prick the back of his neck, in warning, as the hand was removed from his lips.
"Damn it all, Touya!" he spat. "I liked that pillow!"
The pressure on his back increased fractionally, then it abruptly ease. Rubbing the back of his neck, Hikaru pushed himself up. He frowned at the black clothed figure by his bed.
"It made of real goose down," Hikaru grumbled. "And I had just gotten it into the right shape! What is with you and attacking me in my bed anyway?! You have a fixation, I swear."
Touya merely slanted his head to the side. His stance was casual, and his hands were empty. Hikaru could see, however, the edge of a immense scroll strapped to his back.
"We have a mission," he said.
"Yeah, yeah but first, I want you to show you something. It's called 'a door'. You can knock on it, wait for me to call "come in" and THEN come through it, you know? Or hey, if you want to go all high tech, there's this invention called cell phones ..." Hikaru pointed out as he grumpily started towards the closet to pull out his weapons.
"Hmmm," Touya said. He sounded distinctly unimpressed. "I would like to inform you that your last leg sweep was particularly ineffective. You must remedy this; it shames me that your leg sweeps would not be enough to take me down."
"Yeah yeah, I didn't hear you complaining last time I made you land on your ass. But whatever -- I'll sweep you off your feet better next time," Hikaru pulled on his vest, and hooked his scroll pouch to his belt. Fourteen kunai later, and a packet of senbon, and he was ready.
"And while you've been nattering away, I have just thought of three other ways I could have killed you, in addition to the fifteen I had in mind when I first entered."
"Only three? You're getting rusty. I'm thinking of twenty ways I could strangle you and no one would notice." Hikaru reached for the final part of his uniform.
"And now I've just thought of two more ways, one which involves dental floss and perhaps would be quite painful." Touya's voice hadn't changed inflection even as he examined his senbon, before replacing it in his weapons belt.
"Ha! Well, I just thought of six ways to disembowel you, without the dental floss, so you're behind now." Hikaru grinned, but it was hidden behind the porcelain mask he had secured on his face. "Ready?"
"Yes."
"You still owe me a new pillow."
"Very well, I suppose so. Otherwise, you'll just steal mine, like last time."
The shadows shifted, and they were gone.

But X3 it's cool that I have a few people reading these. XD Like I said, it makes me know I'm not totally alone (and going insane).
