When the pupil is ready to learn

There's lots of forgetful people around here~

From:

I dislike feeling so forgetful.

I feel I have neglected you too.

How are you, Rin?

From:

Eh, no worries, I'm used to that~

Relaxed from home and nursing a black eye that you wouldn't believe~ You?

From:

You should never be used to something like that.

... A black eye? Is that something I should worry about?

I am much as you read in my post.

From:

Well, I am~ It happends when one is ~~confused~~ single, and everyone else has sweeties to spend time with~ Or...whatever Yuu's doing with his free time. I need to sit on him and grill him at some point.....

Oh, no~ I've had worse from sparring~ But I think I won't tell you how it happened, since I already did tell you ♥

Oh, come on, there's got to be more than that happening~

From:

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and guess that 'Yuu' is Kai and ask if I can help you with that grilling.

From:

Yup~ Kai's my YuuYuu, alright~ Mmmm, why do you want to help with the grilling?

From:

I'm... concerned for a friend and I think he may be able to help put my mind at ease.

From:

Well, if I can pin him down, I'll let you come help~ You'd think it'd be easy for me, considering he's my roomie and all, but Yuu's a slippery cocker spaniel~

From:

Hm. When are you planning to? I can come give you a hand catching him.

From:

I was thinking mid-week sometime...catch him when he least expects it. Kinda like the Spanish Inquisition ♥

From:

Hmm... That could work. And I could pay Ryou a surprise visit as well.

From:

Ryou, hmmm? He's the one with the obsecenely pretty hair...mmm...it's all starting to make some sense now~

From:

Yeah, that's my Ryou. ~~I should go visit Atsushi as well and pay them both back for the surprise visit in Golden Week~~ Oh? You know what's going on?

From:

Mmmm...not really~ Not right now, anyway, but you can bet your ass I'll be paying more attention to them in class now! ♥ Suspicions, mainly, just from knowing Kei. Either they had another huge, knock-down fight (which, if he kept from me, shame on him~!), or YuuYuu has a crush~

Or more likely, it's something completely unrelated, and that sea water thing is biting me in the ass~

From:

I haven't heard any word of a fight from Ryou either, so I'm guessing it's one or the other.

Hey, why don't we just grab them both from class and lock them in a room together until they sort things out. Works for me and my cousin. And my dad and my uncle.

From:

I'm hoping it's more option B, to be honest~ We've worked hard to get rid of our rep, and if that's coming back again....

That...is actually a brilliant idea~! They'll either work things out eventually, or, if there's a crush, make out, but no matter what, it'll be entertaining for us both~!

From:

I don't believe it's a fight. You guys aren't that bad at all. You're not gonna hurt anyone unless they really deserve it.

Oh, man, Ryou's gonna kill me. XD But I think we should give it a shot.

(ooc: Pure-hearted Bane holds no grudges against the Higa boys for what's happened in the past. He says that was their coaches fault.)

From:

Awww~ But when they deserve it, they get everything they deserve~

We'll both be dead by the time this is over, then~ But it will be a noble death, serving the righteous cause of helping our dear friends~ ♥

(ooc: Bana's sweet, then~)

From:

Oh, do they ever.

That's definitely something I could die for~ Now... we'll have to plan it out so I know when to come in. And I have no idea where Yamabuki is either.

From:

Will you come in like a superhero, wearing a cape and tights~? And Yamabui's easy to find~! Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning...no, wait, that's Neverland~ But it's a pretty direct train ride...Gin could tell you what line for certain.

From:

Oh, I dunno. I have a theme song, now, you know? Ryou and Atsushi and the kids wrote it.

I should be able to find it. Hopefully. I'll just have to go to the train station at some point to find out.

From:

I am not like everyone else, Rin. Nor do I wish to be.

You told me? ... I am feeling very guilty now. I do not remember you telling me.

No. There is nothing else happening.

From:

Everyone's like everyone else at some point in their lives, Gin~

Well, it was in a journal entry, since I was in Oki at the time. Don't feel bad for not reading it, since you haven't been on~

Are you sure?

From:

... As you say.

I will read it now.

Yes, I am sure.

From:

Don't worry about it, Gin.

From:

When there is no pressing need to use something, you worry less and less about it's importance. Or something like that. xD I dunno.

But yeah. The training matches are great. It's fun getting in some extra training. Unfortunately... I'm gonna have to stop coming for a while. Tennis comes second to surfing at the moment.

From:

That is correct. I suspect that is what happened here.

I understand that. I am finding a strange enjoyment in watching people like yourself battling the surf.

From:

See, I can't let that happen. I'm missing a lot of school as well, so this is the only way I can keep up.

.. I'm trying to figure out if that's an appreciation comment or a sadistic one. xD But knowing you, I'm gonna say it's an appreciation one and thank you for the compliment. So.. thanks :D

From:

Missing school is not a good thing, Bane-kun.

There was nothing sarcastic about my words. I have never been one to enjoy such things as beaches and surfing. But I do enjoy watching you and your friends surf. It is calming in a way.

From:

It's all good. I need to get as much surfing in before I go to training camp and.. well... school's not my thing anyway. Besides, I'm all good with having to redo third year. And extra year of school with Davide. I'm not gonna turn that down.

It's calming for us. Well, actually it's more exhilarating than calming, but you get what I mean, right?

From:

I see... If that is how you wish to do things and you are alright with that, I have no room or right to judge.

I understand. As much as I can.

From:

Haha. Well, it seems my dad's the only one who thinks otherwise. Then again... he still thinks I should go to university.

No need to thank you. It was fun to work on a project like that with you. I hope she does like it. I know you worked really hard on it.

From:

It is only polite to thank someone who had helped me as much as you have.

I do hope so.

From:

I...Guess. But I really enjoyed it. I enjoy sharing good times with good friends.

I think she will.

From:

Then perhaps there are more things that you could teach me?

From:

Hee. I like that daily zen of yours today. :) It's so true.

Oh, and speaking of clay...I wanna show you something. I borrowed the art room kiln to fire something today. It's that little surprise I'm working on for you...even though it's not totally finished. XD So I suck at waiting.
