Dear Diary,
Today the guys and I went out after school. This was the first time we had walked around Domino for a while now, just on whim. It was fun! I hope everything will go back to the way it used to, although now that Atemu is gone…
He left such a great impact on us all, helped us mature- sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we had never met him. Sure there is some psychological scarring here and there from all the psychos we've been up against, but surely by now we've proved that our feelings will overcome all! So maybe, just maybe…a real knight in shining armour will come and sweep me off my feet. That's a selfish wish isn't it? Haha.
Well, it's time to move on- I think. Forget those feelings and open the new door! Man I'm so cheesy. Oh I think that's Shizuka at the door, we're going out for dinner tonight!
Have fun!

Dear Diary,
Last night was the best. Shizuka and I had a girl's night out and under her careful guidance taught me how to be more girly. Haha. Isn't that strange, being taught by someone so many years younger than you, at something a dancer should be good enough at. Oh well, even now I already know appearances are deceiving anyway. It's almost her birthday, November 20th. Must remember to get her a present for being such a great girl friend! I understand why Jounouchi loves her so much.
Oh, did I mention she also managed to find herself a babysitting job? I hear her employer is pretty loaded, and she said she hoped the kid isn't some spoiled brat. I feel for her, having babysat sometime ago for my cousins. I warned her, if the old guy tried anything on her because he had money, I'll give him hell! Oh great, I think Jounouchi's mannerisms are getting to me.
Well I'm out for bed! Bye.

Dear Diary,
There are two parts to my day, the good and the bad.
First off, the good:
Shizuka won't have to worry about being violated by her old man employer anymore! She told me her first day was fairly fine and the kid was an angel, as long as she stayed out of her boss' way. That iffed me, but oh well, if she's fine, I'm sure Jounouchi is fine. Oh right, the point was, her boss is someone my age! What are the chances, rich and young?
And the bad:
Somehow I've got myself mixed into a game of cat and mouse with the Seto Kaiba. Yes Kaiba. I was trying to start a conversation with him, just to be friendly since I never knew him and it's our last year together in school. I just sat with him at lunch and I never realised that even rich kids like him eat bentos…and my playfulness got the better of me, and I stole his chicken.
Uh, he then insulted me and I insulted him then we ended up having an argument. Soon after I chucked one of my half eaten onigiri in his face…one thing lead to another and we had a food fight. The Seto Kaiba and I had a food fight. All because of a piece of chicken.
That was my strange day. Good night!

Dear Diary,
You will never guess what happened. Heck, no one in the known universe can guess what happened. The Seto Kaiba, actually made a joke. Is that possible? Did mutant brain eating, mind decapacitating (is that a word?) aliens come and choose to attack Kaiba?
Or actually, maybe my advancing-on-him-to-make-him-a-friend plan is working!...2 years too late! In any case, that didn't prepare me for what Shizuka told me next.
Kaiba was her employer…meaning Mokuba was the kid she was looking after! This is so strange haha.
Well I'm tired, good night!

Dear Diary,
Forget yesterday's entry, today was the extreme weird! You'll never guess what happened, Ryou Bakura said he liked me. Well it was very sudden but, I'm sure I heard it. Argh! My minds so blurry! Well…I can't say I don't like him at all…he is kind, sweet and adorable…But there are some things I can't like about him, like how he's so…girly.
I guess he's still waiting for an answer, if I say I don't like him back, our friendship would be ruined! I don't know what to do! Luckily Seto Kaiba walked past and asked me about our latest assessments just on time. Whew saved by the Ice Block.
On a second note, every time I saw Shizuka today, she had her head dazed up in the clouds. I wonder why. She'd also blush whenever I mention the pool, is she embarrassed about going for a swim or something, although it is starting to get cool, as winter is approaching.
Ah winter! Romantic season, oh great, Christmas…oh dear.

Dear Diary,
I never realised Ryou was such an impatient guy. An agreement to dating him accidentally slipped my mouth…And then the forceful part came. He hugged me so very tightly and said: "I know you don't feel that way for me, but since you gave me a chance, I will make you like me as I do you". Is that a supposed to be romantic? Well, I still ended up red in the face, and I ran away…yet again to talk to Kaiba about how the sky's so blue all of a sudden. I feel like an idiot.
Never mind that, I rarely see Shizuka outside of school now. She has to work every day, from right after school till late at night. I feel sorry for the girl, and I really do miss her. I want to know how it is inside the Kaiba mansion, and perhaps even get me some blackmail! Hehe, I'm growing so evil.
See you!

November 1st 20XX
Dear Diary,
Tonight, Ryou and I had our first date. Well, my opinion of him hasn't really changed…But it seemed like he was really trying to make me see him rather as a man, than anything else. I've been around too many guys, it doesn't work! I wanted to tell him that, but it'd only shatter his tiny self confidence. There were times where he seemed like a more forceful person but I guess it was my imagination. We went out to the arcade, merely because he knew I liked it there, and then to dinner in some place, not too fancy, since he did end up paying. Hey, I offered but he was all like "the man should take up the responsibility". Oh well, we went to the park afterwards and…my mind is still shocked at this- he kissed me. He just grabbed me and kissed me. It was so sudden, I almost fell on him, an on that note I never noticed he was so...strong. I feel creeped out. Then immediately after, he blushed and apologised and we went home, silently. Ahh, I wonder if I really did the right thing.
After I got home, I called up Shizuka, but she wasn't answering. Darn. I'll approach her tomorrow and ask her about the blackmail.

November 2nd 20XX
Dear Diary,
Today, I couldn't even approach Ryou because it was too awkward. Every time our eyes meet, I turned away and blushed, this is miserable. I still don't know whether this is what I can call love, or purely just embarrassment. So very confused.
Surprisingly, while I'm unable to tell Yugi and the guys, I can…tell Kaiba. Yes, Kaiba. I just blabber on and he doesn't say a word, but it helps me get it out. Whew. Other than writing in this diary, I can tell him. Yay!...Although, today he stole my chicken curry. It appears he hasn't gotten over that chicken I stole…
Shizuka kept looking at me today whenever I was talking to Kaiba. I wonder why. I looked back at her and she stared, as if envisioning me without clothes on or something, but I know she's not like that. Haha.
Oh Shizuka just called me up, she wanted o say something to me…but it appears that she was too shy, I wonder what it was. Don't tell me she really swings that way.
Uh?

Dear Diary,
I approached Shizuka and asked her about her dodgy attitudes today. Well I wasn't that rude, but I asked her what was wrong. And yet again, almost getting a heart attack she told me she liked someone, who doesn't appear to notice her. No, it wasn't me. It was the Seto Kaiba. I was so shocked, what will happen if Jounouchi heard about this? She said she was unable to sleep properly, think straight, and she listed on. Then she begged me in her sweetest voice: "Please find out more about him for me!"
She has me trapped. My best friend, and to find out about my budding friendship with Kaiba. Bah! I'll help her then.
Ryou still hasn't said a word to me! It's been 3 days since! Don't tell me I stuffed up even when I agreed to go out with him…

Dear Diary,
I found out so much about Seto Kaiba. He's an orphan, only blood related family is Mokuba (explains his almost incestuous love with Mokuba…Just joking), adopted by Gozaburo Kaiba who appears to be known for his totalitarian control in all sorts of relationships (meaning he was most likely some sort of abuser), had a step brother named Noa (shivers), gained control of Kaiba Corp after Gozaburo mysteriously chucked himself out a window from his office (I remember that incident, it made me cry when the news people blamed Kaiba for it, since he was just a kid then) and that Kaiba appears to like chicken a lot.
Well, I found all that out for Shizuka and told her, who just listened on with a dreamy look on her face. If that's how love should be, gosh, I think I'm going to be a lonely old lady aren't I? I found that all out without even consulting the target, shouldn't you be proud of me? Now I feel like some sort of stalker. I can't even bear to look Kaiba in the face anymore, if he found out, he'd think I was some deranged girl with a crush on him as well.
Damn! I'm stuck again!

That's it for the first part of this two part story. Any who, there's a story in a more…different format. I'm obsessed with two shots, merely because my ideas are too short for chapters and too long for one shots, they'd kill your eyes.
If you don't understand something according to the culture of Japan, then don't hesitate to ask, although I've attached a some notes on the next chapter as that is probably when there needs explanation. Thank you!
Please leave some constructive comments, and if you decide to flame, please choose something which deserves it rather than 'because you like this character'.
