Wild 23
...I fuckin' hate my father.
He doesn't give a shit about what's important to me. All he cares about is what makes 'im look good. ...And ya know, I was happy with my matches 'gainst Kura and Koshimae. It don't matter to me if I lost 'em, I was just happy gettin' ta play with 'em both~ ...But that ain't good enough for Otou. He says people are watchin' me. Just like they were durin' the International tournament and that I can't afford to make mistakes and to keep playin' 'round like I'm still in grade school. ...Guess he thinks dreamin' and havin' hopes and havin' fun with friends are things that only grade schoolers do. 'Cause he said I needed to behave more professionally, otherwise the stuff I do is gonna catch up with me and ruin my chances of gettin' sponsored by anyone good. I ain't even interested in doin' that yet. ...I wanna stay and play with my friends as long as I can still. ...But he ain't hearin' it when I say so. He ain't hearin' it when Okaa-chan says it either, and that pisses me off. ...And then he thinks folks out on the circuit will start talkin' 'bout how nobody wants to take on Arano Tsubasa's reckless son, and it'll tarnish Okaa-chan's image 'cause of it, and then it'll get back to him too and he says people will look down on him 'cause he's my father. ...So I guess it sucks to be related to me in his eyes. I'm nothin' but a fuckin' sorry excuse for a son as far as he's concerned. Guess that's also why he decided to try and fix some of the problem. Maybe if I look more like I'm serious 'bout stuff, I'll have a better chance of impressin' the people that matter in his eyes. Not the folks that I'm playin', but the people who're gonna end up payin' for me to play.
...So he cut off all my hair. ...It ain't been this short since I was 3. But Otou says it's more "serious and grown up" than what I had before. ...And he took away most of the clothes that I have that have any kinda leopard print on 'em....which is most of my stuff. I'm gonna have to borrow some stuff from my cousins, Yoh and Sora, and from Zaizen, even though his taste in clothes sucks. ...'Least 'til I can get some new clothes to replace all the ones...that made me me. Otou says it's what's right for me though, so who am I to question alla it, yeah~?
But what the fuck ever. I'm all professionalized for him now. So he can shut the hell up. And I'm gonna play my match today and win it like he wants me to, and then he'll have nothin' else that he can complain about and try to make me change. 'Cause I don't want to change anything else. I don't want to end up losin' who I am. Goin' pro ain't worth it if that happens.
...Oh, and thanks for the ice cream and takoyaki, Riria. It was kinda a weird mix ta have together, but...it made me feel a bit better. The hugs did too. And I think I ended up really needin' them after all that. Sorry you hadta see all that 'tween me and Otou though. And I think it was good that we left when we did. ...I think I was really close to seriously hittin' him after that 'cause I was so upset.
[OOC: So yeah, Kin-chan's in an extremely poor mood right now thanks to Daddykins efforts. >>; Krauser ended up getting to witness it since he's staying at the Tooyama household again, and had to drag a close to sobbing Kin-chan out of the house before the argument between father and son turned really nasty, and took him to get some comfort foods to cheer him up. And as he mentioned, when everyone next sees Kin-chan during Finals, he'll be sporting a considerably shorter haircut (it's pretty much the shorter haircut he's got in some of his icons, like the "Dork" one) and lacking any sign of the leopard print. However, Kin-chan's not that easily controlled. And this will only cause what will be the beginning of what shall be Kin-chan's rebellious stage. He's pissed at his father for trying to change him, and thus shall start purposely doing things that will go against what he wants. This'll also fuel the fire for what will be his fight with Aragaki.]
