Perchance to dream
I finally gave Ibu and Kamio their gifts from An and the guys last night. The presents were goofy, but we had fun. At least I did anyway. I think they're a bit perplexed over their care packages, though.
I woke this morning about 2AM and had to use the head. Nothing unusual there. What's weird is that I swear I saw Kirihara slipping up the hallway from the direction of the stairwell when I was heading back to my room. I chalked it up to some odd dream. But this morning, I wonder. I don't think I was dreaming. Just what the heck was he doing out at that hour?
I challenged Tezuka and Kirihara to a match, and both accepted. I challenged Atobe, also, but have yet to hear back from him. I'm scheduled to play the best Tokyo high school tennis players next week. I need to be step it up. Kirihara's as close as I can come to the three former Rikkaidai players I'll be facing. Tezuka is, well, Tezuka. Of course he'll be a challenge.
I watched his match versus Senri Chitose and still can't believe Tezuka unlocked the Hyakuren Jitoku no Kiwami and Saiki Konbatsu no Kiwami at the same time. What incredible power.
Are there doors beyond my Moujuu? And if there are, are they similar to the doors behind Muga no Kyouchi? And what will they be? I evolved to the Moujuu on my own. Can I do it again without someone to lead me?
Can I go further? I want to go further. I need to. I won't allow myself be left behind any longer.
ooc: This is an entry in Kippei's private journal. It should not be commented on, though of course it's fine to read it. I suppose someone could always hack into the computer system and see it, but that would be pushing things.
I'm to meet with Yukimura and Tezuka today. I almost lost it last night. I believe I said more than enough to give Yukimura an idea why Shinji is the way he is. I only wanted to keep Shinji from falling into Y's bad graces when he didn't take to Y's silly little hugging game. Instead, Y seems to think he can play head games and that he knows better than any shrink how to handle Shinji. What complete and utter arrogance! Lord knows, we're an arrogant lot. I'm not immune myself. But I like to think that I have always kept my team members' well-being ahead of my own amusement.
It didn't help that I opened a chat room to discuss things and had to leave it almost immediately. By the time I returned, Shinji and Akira both had managed to antagonize Y further. It's possible Y felt backed into a corner and realized what an ass he'd been--that's probably giving too much credit--and that's what caused the attitude. Or else he realized he discovered one of my buttons and was having fun pushing it.
Lord, I do not want to argue over authority. He can have it. Who would want to wrangle this bunch of misfits? But I will never allow anyone to harm a friend. Never.
I lost my temper. I'm not proud of that. I hope Tezuka will be a calming influence for both of us today. Hell, I will kiss Yukimura's lily-white ass if it will prevent him from abusing Shinji any further. I will get down on my belly and crawl if need be. I will keep repeating this to myself until I force myself to behave.
OOC Note: Moujuu - Wild Beast's Aura, Muga no Kyouchi - State of Self-Actualization, Hyakuren Jitoku no Kiwami - Pinnacle of Hard Work, and Saiki Konbatsu no Kiwami = Pinnacle of Great Wisdom.
