Rikkai's Second Year Ace, Kirihara Akaya

I'm not saying anything

2004-05-27T01:57:28Z

To anyone.

Screw Him!!

2004-05-22T00:28:32Z

So we go to the trouble of arranging a tea party (oh... okay, tea CEREMONY) for Sanada-senpai on this, his 15th birthday, and the bastard doesn't even have the courtesy to show up!

He bails after practise, which SUCKED because everyone made plans to stay... except him!

Then Yagyuu-senpai tells us that Sanada-senpai's brother called him and told him that Sanada would be... "otherwise engaged" for the rest of the weekend! So Yagyuu says we'll just do it Monday!

Like none of us had anything better to do!!

Screw him! Screw them All!

I'm skipping school tomorrow and going to Tokyo! So there!

Anger Management?

2004-05-21T10:47:35Z

I do not have anger management issues. I express it QUITE clearly.

Whoever thought it was funny to have me signed up for these is going to feel the brunt of it...

Niou said it wasn't him, and I believe him. It's too cunning to be Marui, and Sanada isn't that subtle. Yanagi? I don't think so....

Dammit, I'm going to be HURTING someone soon...

Sanada, Niou, Yagyuu...

2004-05-16T00:55:58Z

Did Yukimura talk to any of you? I just saw him, and he's thinking about surgery...

He's not sure if he's wants it. But... he could end up paralyzed if he doesn't, but the surgery has some risks, and...

Someone, please. Talk to him, I don't know what to say. Why is he telling me this?

I'm scared.

Presents are something you should be able to return

2004-05-14T15:14:11Z

Niou, what are you trying to tell me? I do not need anymore handcuffs - the joke is old. I thought you were more creative.

Sanada's birthday is in a week. Yukimura told me to remind you, and ALSO told me that we were to behave "appropriately."

Any ideas? I'm thinking the handcuffs might come in handy...

Anyone know when Seigaku is playing Rokkaku? I want to watch.

I promise I'll behave. I need to get out of this insane assylum.

Stupid Hallmark Holiday

2004-05-10T17:52:24Z

So I forgot Mother's Day. Sheesh. Have a hernia. It's not my fault. Really. You can't expect me to remember everything, can you?

SHE apparently does. Just because neesan not only gave her flowers but took her out to dinner, I'm now the bad kid....

Well, not like it's not the first time.

Remember the tinfoil. I've bought a delightful chocolate liquor cake... it's SO off his diet that eating it will make him have to do an extra 100 laps... but Sanada can't resist chocolate...

I was going to lace it with something, but I decided not to.

I ALSO have coerced a first year into.... helping. He's currently designing an oh-so-fashionable tinfoil suit.

Bon appetit

2004-05-09T15:05:32Z

Lunch was ON me. Literally... but on Sanada, too.

I hate Marui. I despise Niou. And I wish Sanada would just DROP DEAD.

No one invited Sanada along. It's not like it was a team function.

Community service... where the hell does he get off thinking he can punish me? But if I do cooperate, he'll get even...

Bastard.

It's a beautiful day!

2004-05-06T20:37:58Z

It's a good day.

Atobe is GONE. Sanada is NOT AROUND HIM, though I think I caught him texting him. But Sanada is NOT ABLE to pay attention to him, so all is right with the world.

I'm visiting Yukimura tomorrow, so everyone can stop NAGGING me about that. I'll even bring him candy.

Oh, Marui and I are doing the banquet thing this weekend. Fun. Fun. Why the hell do I have to pay?

Tennis is ok. My game is as perfect as ever. I need to play someone good... I haven't had a decent match since... well, since I put Echizen in the hospital. But I don't think that counted, because we didn't technically FINISH. So I guess my last decent match was Tachibana, and I put him in the hospital, too... Is he out yet?

The girls have quieted down about me being Niou's "one true love." They're starting to go back toward him/Yagyuu, which is good, though I do feel sorry for Yagyuu-senpai...

My Senpai, the Role Models

2004-05-02T19:58:20Z

I should have stopped at the frisbee thing, but frankly I found myself rather occupied. My grandmother introduced me to a girl who she thinks is "just perfect" for me....

WHY the hell is everyone matchmaking?

It took the rest of Saturday to scare her off. I couldn't tell them to shove it, because grandmother was watching, and I do rather like her, but I did make sure I acted as much like my senpai as possible - particularly Marui and Niou.

You're wonderful role models. She couldn't get away quickly enough.

I did make sure to give her Sanada-senpai's phone number, though. Her name's Yui, and she's cute. And... I think you'll like her, Sanada-senpai. She's into flower arranging. I think that compliments your sword thingy perfectly.

Oh, Oishi-san. Hope your birthday was... fun... and your gifts truly enjoyable.

My senpai are insane

2004-04-28T02:47:11Z

Niou and Yagyuu. Amen. Marui and Yanagi, spare me. Sanada, shove it. Jackal is a stalker.

I'm going to Tokyo this weekend. I've had all I can DEAL WITH.

First to do on my to-do list is figure out how to get Atobe OUT of Sanada's life. That should be easiest... he hasn't been around that wrong.

Unfortunately, I rather suck at long-range planning. And I think slugging Atobe wouldn't work, and Atobe is supposed to be nearly as good as Sanada, so trying to take him out with tennis is a no-go, so...

I hate this.

Back to Basics

2004-04-25T15:49:28Z

It's time to get back to basics. Reprioritize.

My game has been off, and while I doubt anyone can beat me, it could effect my performance in the future.

I'm not content with my tennis level - a real player always gets better and improves.

It's time to eliminate the distractions, and focus on what's important!

Distractions to eliminate:

Niou and Yagyuu's love triangle with me - how the HELL did Niou pull this off?

Yukimura. We're going to have a talk and settle things.

Sengoku. Not sure how to get him to stop pestering me, but it WILL happen.

My family. I figure if I start staying out later, I can avoid them. The library's open till 10 p.m., and I think I might look into spending weekends in Tokyo for the foreseeable future.... my grandparents could care less about what I get up to.

Sanada. Atobe has GOT to go. Will think on that.

Sleepily We Roll Along...

2004-04-23T14:58:53Z

I just want a good night's sleep.

Really. Parental Units are annoying. They are so lovey-dovey that I told them to bug off and they decided we needed bonding time, and by the time that finishes its late, and i do have homework...

Yes, I contrary to what most people believe, I do do my homework.... otherwise I'd get kicked off. Specially since my disciplinary record isn't that shining.

I haven't spoken to Yukimura since the incident with Fudoumine. I just don't want to see him.

I can't trust him. I can't trust anyone.

Matters on the Homefront

2004-04-20T12:02:47Z

Father is home.

Apparently mother tracked him down after... the incident a few weeks back and told him he needed to be back. And since he was in one of his "father knows best" modes, he came.

We spent till 1 a.m. last night "bonding."

I really want to kill something right now.

SEE the mess Niou started now? I think you should reprimand him.

Wanted to ask that if you can pry yourself away from your honey bunny today if you'd have time to help me with my backhand. I think I lost a bit of edge while on vacation.

When it Rains, it pours

2004-04-18T17:51:35Z

My mother is talking about seeing if I should transfer to a school that looks more toward boys with "special needs." In other words, crazies. I am not happy about this, needless to say. She's taking me in for a "chat" (i.e. an evaluation) tomorrow, so I will be missing school... again.

I am not crazy. I merely have a unique perspective.

Niou, your fanclub president wants to meet us. I said no. She said she has something VERY INTERESTING to show us.

I said YOU would talk to her.

Yagyuu... you might want to come along and keep Niou in line. Since my mother is keeping me out of school on Monday, I think you'll have to do it. Well, too bad.

Nothing really going on. Waiting to see if we get to defeat Seigaku or Rokkaku. My understanding is Seigaku has the edge... would be good. Wanna play the brat again.

Fangirls

2004-04-14T01:54:10Z

We have way too many.

And they are insane.

It's YOUR fault. One of them offered money if we would do a reprise so she could take pictures.

Another asked if I was uke or seme or if we switched.

NIOU! YOU started this, FIX it!

As Niou's keeper, please think of something to sort things out. The restraining order is a start but more is needed.

A guy in my class offered to "comfort" me when Yagyuu and/or Niou dumped me.

I AM NOT GAY!

I'm Not Christian... and Now I Know Why

2004-04-12T00:05:06Z

I get up this morning and my mother has decided that my recent sabatical from school requires... bonding.

She dragged me to church. We're not even Christian. I made a comment about how amazing it was the place didn't fall in when I walked in and an elderly lady patted me on the head and said she'd add me to her prayers.

Did I mention this was a sunrise service?

The service was ecumenical, and I kinda started to doze. My mother elbowed me quite hard, and I kinda swore at her. Unfortunately, I happened to say it rather loudly, at one of the opportune pauses where people are comptemplating the meaning of death or something...

They threw me out. My mother was nearly in tears... I've never seen her THAT upset before. She called me a devilish child.

I told her I was a demon, thank you very much.

She actually laughed at that one.

I'm still confused. Sanada and Atobe... is not right. I will put a stop to it. They're always telling me I need to be more responsible. Well... guess what? I'm going to take responsibility for THAT.

I've only seen Yukimura once since... and I don't think I'm going back. He's made his position clear - now it's my turn. I do not need him. I need no one.

Sengoku needs to leave me alone.

Niou needs to go back to being my slightly crazy senpai, not the slightly crazy would-be boyfriend. The fangirls are going nuts,

Yagyuu... seems tired of it all, and I can't blame him. Maybe he's the only sane one left.

I'm really very tired of this whole mess. Why can't everything just be tennis?

I hear Echizen checked out. Hope you get better, brat. You owe me a full match.

redeyedpsycho @ 2004-04-10T13:27:00

2004-04-10T17:30:51Z

Ever think you shouldn't have gotten out of bed in the morning?

I kissed Niou... voluntarily. I thought it'd get him to back off, but in retrospect it's only going to make things worse.

And when Sengoku finds out, I am so dead.

What the HELL?

2004-04-09T15:35:52Z

...I caught up on the journals.

What the HELL do you think you're doing???

Stay away from Rikkai and anyone on its team, or else I will not play nice anymore.

I'm still not happy about the whole Yukimura thing... but Sanada is a cheating bastard. I would tell Yukimura, but we're not really talking and even if we were I think it'd hurt him to know that Sanada is like that, but I do know that I want to rip Sanada's throat out because he's a bastard and he's going to hurt Yukimura and...

Atobe. It's all his fault.

I have practice this afternoon.

Team visit to the hospital

2004-04-09T01:12:43Z

Niou, Sanada and I visited the hospital today. Yukimura was in good spirits... he mentioned the Seigaku brat.

Echizen, leave him ALONE. I know Tezuka is rumored to have the personality of a slug, and Yukimura is much more charming, but that's no reason to harass Rikkai's buchou.

First time I saw Yukimura since... and I... can't talk to him like before. I don't really want to.

I need to make some time to read through the back journals and see what was going on while I was away.

...

2004-04-08T01:57:19Z

I talked to Echizen today.

I apologized. A deal is a deal, I'm back at practice tomorrow.

Never said what I had to apologize for.

Bunch of Hypocrits

2004-03-30T01:32:47Z

You're all a bunch of hypocrits. What's the point in playing tennis if you don't play to WIN Bunch of pansies. It's a risk you accept, every time you step on the court. If you can't play with the best, you should all just quit.

If you don't like my style, then beat me in a game. I play according to the rules. No where do I break them. Deal with it, you bunch of wussies.

Sanada, you're just a fucking hypocrit. I don't see you after your friend Atobe for destroying Tezuka's arm...

No one is taking the time to consider the facts of the case: Tennis is about winning. I won. If someone gets hurt, then it happens.

There's a lot of techniques we play that may injure a less skilled player. Hadoukyu, drive shots, twist serves, dunk smash... all of these can injure a player that is not able to withstand the force of these.

DEAL WITH IT. ECHIZEN RYOMA AND TACHIBANA KIPPEI JUST AREN'T UP TO MY LEVEL.

I'm seeing Yukimura tomorrow and he'll at least listen to me.

What a weekend!

2004-03-29T01:09:23Z

Two in twenty-four hours. Go me.

I'll say one thing, he's a tough little bastard.

Barely screamed.

Actually, the sound of the bone breaking was louder than his reaction...

It was... interesting. I've never actually BROKEN anyone's bone before.

It's... a weird feeling.

I am in so much shit.

Maybe Sanada is right. I might need to start thinking things through a bit more clearly.

Shit. If the board finds out, they're going to kick me off.

Dammit, kaasan is looking at me funny. She said I was pale, asked if I was sick.

Tempting as it is to play sick and stay home... not doing that. No way am I avoiding them, because if I do, it'll be my fault, and it's not my fault, because this is the way tennis is - you step on the court and you accept the risks, right?

Luckily I managed to play innocent, and Echizen, to his credit, played it off as an accident.

Gotta respect that. He sees it the way I do - it's the price of the game.

Or he's going to get back at me later. LET HIM TRY! I'll... I don't know what I'll do, but I'll do something.

I don't think I meant to hurt him that bad.

Maybe that's it... I don't think.

It's never mattered before, but people are going to start looking at me way too closely.

Tachibana I could care less about. Echizen... I should have been more careful. He's going to be around next year, too, unless I damaged him too bad, and he's going to be my main rival.

No one else even approaches my level.

I am so not making sense.

Dammit, Sanada is going to kill me.

Or... worse yet. He'll tell Yukimura.

Wonder if Echizen was taken to the same hospital as Yukimura?

Busy today!

2004-03-28T15:52:16Z

Got a light practice match today. Don't expect to be around.

Senpai, if you need me, I'll have my cell.

Wonder if Echizen Ryoma will be more challenging than Tachibana?

Doubting it.

We won

2004-03-28T04:15:25Z

Big surprise.

They carried my opponent off the court on a stretcher. Second time that's happened.

The stupid fool should have resigned.

But it was more fun that way. There's nothing like deconstruction someone and showing just how far they have to go.

He. They told me he was national level. Could've fooled me.

Or should I say Niou and Yagyuu? You could have gotten us disqualified today for letting Niou play under Yagyuu's name.

Think, stupids. How would you explain THAT to Yukimura?

Taking it to the Court!!

2004-03-26T19:40:45Z

YES!! Finally a match tomorrow!

I feel dizzy with excitement. It's been so long since I've had a good match... I'm not allowed to say our match order, for fear of a Foudomine player SPYING on us, but I will be playing. Ha.

Fudoumine shouldn't be a problem. I don't care about all the attention they're getting, no upstart is going to take us out. I bet we win in straight matches... straight games.

You know, I figured out Sengoku CHEATED on our bet. He went and got himself hit by a car... sheesh. The length some guys will go to to win. I think I'll just send him a pizza as a prize... with pineapple, pepperoni and anchovies.

See you Sunday. Come alone, if Sanada finds out, he'll kill me.

Can you PLEASE do something about your fangirls? They're talking about forming a joint club with mine to help "promote" our relationship. Well, half of them... the other half are forming a joint club with Yagyuu-senpai's and trying to protect your relationship with HIM... and they're making me miserable! I found my locker jammed shut with gum today... well, that could have been Marui-senpai, but I think it was them...

GET THEM OFF MY BACK!!
