He woke up because there was somebody kissing him. "The hell?" he muttered. He rubbed his cheek and blinked.

Kokoro was kneeling next to his bed. "Happy birthday, 'Ji-san!" she said. "You don't get your present until later because I'm giving it to you later and that's all I'm going to say, okay?" ( Kokoro and Haru )

Chisato showed up before the sun did ( Read more... )

He had a lot rattling around in his head. Naoko, Yukito, Rika-and-Terada, secrets, not-secrets, choices...it was a good thing Chisato had sake. He and Chisato were spread out on the floor, Daisuke was sprawled on the couch, leaning over it and looking down at them. He was laughing softly under his breath.

"Kinomoto, man, you look like hell," Chisato said.
