Dear Diary
Dear diary or maybe it should be dear Kasuka, since he was the one who brought this for me. I take a week off from work every month, laying on the sofa running out of things to do. Yes, it gets boring and it doesn't help my mood. So Kasuka suggested I waste time writing down my feelings, or maybe it's just to keep me occupied since I finished all the cake and chocolate in the apartment.
Where to start... My name is Shizuo Heiwajima and I'm a man, sort of. My name is Shizuka Hanejima and I'm a woman, soft of. See I was born as a hermaphrodite or Intersex. A limited number of people know, my parents for a start. We don't really get along, they don't know whether to call me their son or daughter. They prefer Kasuka and once this week is over, I won't mind.
Kasuka is my younger brother, the success of the family and all male. But funnily enough, I don't hate him for it. He's stuck by me through everything. He's the one that helped me with my second identity. I love Kasuka and I'll do anything to protect him.
Now where was I? I was born Shizuo Heiwajima, mainly male. I'm twenty three have two identities and two jobs. I grew up normalish, apart from the whole intersex thing. Oh and the strength, I still can't believe Kasuka forgave me for trying to crush him with a table.
School was okay, I dressed as a boy, was treated as a boy. Everything was fine. Changing for p.e and showering was a bit scary, you never knew when one of the other students would say. "Why do you have another hole?" That was the one thing I dreaded. I met Shinra, I haven't told him yet. As soon as he saw me lose it, he's been asking for blood samples and to dissect me.
His girlfriend Celty is my best friend, but she doesn't know either. Kasuka is the only one I would ever trust. Then came high school, I was still dressing and being known as a boy, while everyone had discovered my brother's talent for acting. The usually expressionless Kasuka, would become an actor. I had never seen my parents look so happy.
And then the mood swings started, my feminine hormones kicked in, making me confused, angry and crying all of the time. It was my mother that realized what was wrong and days later, I woke up screaming covered in blood. My period had started. The cramps were horrible, my moods were a mess, but for once my mother had stepped in to help.
She was the one that showed me how to deal with it, the painful cramps, how to use pads, because like hell I was using tampons. I was kept off school, until it eased off and was under control. But that was just the beginning, I felt confused, how should I have been acting a girl or a boy? The look on my dad's face was priceless when I asked him to buy me a dress.
I needed to see if it would work. I think my mum convinced him, since there were girls clothes on the bottom of my bed, when I had gotten home from school. I rushed into the bathroom, quickly getting changed, looking at my naked body, was uncomfortable. The dress was plain, cutting off below my knee. It was flat against my chest, but part of it felt right.
My parents argued trying to decide how I should be. It was Kasuka who spoke up for me. I carried on at school as a boy, Kasuka had become a child actor and was enrolled in a special school. They had made him pick a name for himself, for his acting career. He was now Kasuka Hanejima. I was the one who picked him up everyday. I dressed as a girl and called myself Shizuka Hanejima.
It worked for both of us, Kasuka had a sister he could rely on and I could be a girl for a while. I didn't have any girlfriends, they were mostly scared of me and the few that did ask me out, I turned down. I think there was a rumour I was gay going around.
I finished school, I didn't get high grades, but I didn't fail either. Kasuka started filming for his first film. Neither one of us saw each other for a while, so Shizuka had been put to sleep. I got a job as a bartender, learning how to serve drinks. I kept the job for about a month, until I lost my temper. It was horrible, just after a package from Kasuka had arrived. Bartender uniforms for both male and female.
It was at that time a new company opened. Shinra and Celty knew some people and had got me a job. All I knew was that it was an office job, I would be dealing with computers and paperwork. My would be boss was nice, his name was tom. I had known him in high school as well. He talked through everything with me and let me know that I had the job.
The owner of the company was Izaya Orihara. The same age as me. I've only seen him a couple of times, but he pisses me off. The company I work for is known as TGOI, it stands for The Great Orihara Industries. The man thinks he's god, he talks to us through the speaker every morning, calling us his precious humans. Everyone at work agrees there's something wrong.
I haven't quit yet, where else can I find such a good boss like Tom and flexible hours? I still have to take the week off whenever my cycle ends. So I put up with it, occasionally he walks past me with those annoying eyes of his. Luckily he doesn't know anything about me, I'm not on his radar. Which makes me both happy and relieved.
I've been working there ever since, I'm now twenty three. Back to my other job. Six months after I had started working at TGOI, my feminine side decided to come out. I lived in my own apartment, which Kasuka stayed at when he was back in Ikebukuro. Shizuka Hanejima was tired of being shut out.
Thanks to Kasuka and his manager, my other identity became official. I was known as Shizuka Hanejima. The bartender outfits came in handy, I got a part-time job in a bar called Artic. My boss was okay, but I didn't like the way he stared at me. Still he hadn't tried everything.
So that's how everything is now, I work five days a week as Shizuo Heiwajima, the weekend as Shizuka Hanejima and stay at home for a week, when I'm due on. It's tiring sometimes, but I'm managing. I can live a double life and keep both sides happy.
Which brings me to now, wearing nothing but my boxers and an oversized shirt, because I can't decide whether to be a man or a woman this week. My moods are a mess, I have dried tear stains on my face and I am out of chocolate.
Shizuo snaps the diary shut as the door is unlocked. Kasuka is finally back. "Nii-san. I'm back." The blond jumps from the sofa, grabbing the bags. "I didn't know what you wanted, so I got a bit of everything." He pulled open the first one, pulling out the first packet of chocolate bars. "Mm. Thanks Kasuka. I started using the diary you brought me."
They took the rest of the bags to the sofa. There was no point in packing anything. "Did it keep you busy?" Shizuo nodded. "I didn't destroy anything." He handed the diary to Kasuka. "Are you sure you want me to read it?" The blond smiled, nodding. "You're the only one I trust Kasuka." Kasuka flipped to the first page. "You wrote a lot."
Shizuo demolished the first chocolate bar, going onto the next. "Slow down, I'm not going out until tomorrow." The blond sighed. "It's been a week. It should be back to normal tomorrow." Kasuka looked up at him. "Did mum talk to you about going on the pill?" He blushed embarrassed, he couldn't help it. Why was his brother so straight forward? "She mentioned it. I need to see a doctor."
Kasuka nodded, his usual expressionless face, as he read through his brother's diary. It was a good idea. What Shizuo had written was completely honest. "You're going back to work tomorrow?" The blond nodded, his face lighting up as he pulled out a cake box. "Strawberry. This is the best." Kasuka sighed. His brother now had chocolate and cakes, he would be happy for the time being.
