I have spent a long time thinking about the matches today. Yes, we won. But at what cost?

Two matches were won by default and that leaves me unsatisfied and troubled. My match should not have ended with an injury to the other team. That is not what strength should be used for. I know why it happened. I blame myself.

I hope the upcoming matches fare better. As I am once again debating the wisdom of continuing with this tournament.

Will you please stop making it into such a goddamn big deal? I do my best to try and show you what I've accomplished while you haven't been around and you give me this bullshit about how it's a bad thing. Am I even capable of ever doing anything good enough for you?
...You know what? Nevermind. You're so full of yourself that I don't even know why I bother trying to impress. You don't care. You never did care.


[OOC: Excuse him. He's really upset that all his training to try and make himself stronger didn't end up achieving its goal. Which was to make his big brother proud of him.]

I was very impressed with how far you have come. I would have been more impressed if you hadn't hurt that boy. That was my one and only complaint.

If you want to see it as me... not believing in you and your skill, then I can't stop you. But I know you're better than that, Tetsu. I know you have more control. And I know someday you will surpass me.

And I hope on that day.....


(ooc: ^^ He wasn't able to finish his sentence, sadly... I think Tetsu's words hurt him more than that guy getting hurt!)

What part of "I didn't do it on purpose" do you not understand? Though you really have no place trying to lecture me about this, seeing as you've done a lot more than sprain someone's wrist when playing an opponent before.

And you're wrong. I don't have whatever control you assume I have. If I did, then the guy wouldn't have gotten hurt. So I guess that means I'm still really far away from being anything like what you expect me to be.


[OOC: It probably doesn't help that Tetsu's just so used to being angry with Gin, that it's become an automatic reaction a lot of the time. >>;]
