Latest Updates from TsubasaNoKami

OMG people subscribed!!! People are interested in my life!! If any of you know me (Yukari?) then stop reading! Otherwise, perfect strangers are welcome to read about my disastrous life… Anyhou…

Sorry, got cut off on my last entry. Stupid prats! Who I hear you ask, why the marvellous and wonderful (can you see the sarcasm?)

Dilandau Albatou and his universal partner in crime Van Fanel.

It's now Thursday night, we started school on Wednesday. And I was writing this entry yesterday afternoon in the café as there were a few customers, and Zia said I didn't need to work as it was my first day back from school. The others had left after a while to get home and work, as in go on MSN, and play a good old RPG but I stayed and started this. I never got to finish as tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee decided to enter and cause mental havoc.

There I was starting to feel like that Truman dude who had his whole life followed in that it seems the net is tightening round me in terms of my wonderful parents' plan to marry me off to Schezar. Not only has his sister just joined our school, and is directed straight towards me but Schezar is outside the school gates to pick her up. I was just on Expedia and considering credit card fraud – I know my father's PIN – to get a one-way ticket to Fanelia and ride this storm out when they arrived.

You would think that Van and Dilandau are just your average recently graduated rich kids who are being trained in the family business, however that is not the case. They are in the midst of training with their family companies, yes; but that's not all. They work for the Abharaki, with friends they made at uni; I know this because they've come to me on occasion for help.

Yes, I'm secretly a genetically modified super-human created by Zaibach laboratories and can see the future, I tell them when and where evil rich people will be and they go whack them. Did I have you going? Hee hee, I love those fics, and Dark Angel on TV.

Even though I do kendo, I suck at it. I'd do better at the lightening speed running, than the fight scenes. Anyhou, they ask for my help because I have one skill that most people don't. No, not seeing into the future but I am technologically capable, if you know what I mean. Chid may be a computer geek, but his illegal activities stay within the file sharing capabilities on Limewire and stuff. His dad's a big figure in law enforcement – Lieutenant of the district they live in and his strong morals have definitely been passed down from father to son. Chid believes strongly in justice, and thinks drug dealers are complete twats, etc.

I keep going off track, but that's what a diary is for – back to Van and Dilandau and my helping them. I learnt at a very young age, courtesy of my brother and a lot of internet access how to enter things that one shouldn't be able to access, such as people's bank details, email accounts, etc. I know, I know; it's illegal and morally wrong but I do it for good reasons.

I know the Abharaki get a lot of bad press as crooks in the city that do insider trading, kill people and collaborate to bring down officials, etc. for kicks. But that's not true, the officials that are taken down are actually crooked, but the newspapers are liars as far as I'm concerned. I've gladly helped them, giving them the evidence to do it. I don't know exactly the truth about the Abharaki, in terms of their aim, their leader, etc.

I've heard Dilandau say the names Kishi Amatsu and Ryuujin the first translates as Heavenly Knight, but the other name isn't old Fanelian or Gaean or any language I can find. I take it they're the head honchos but I keep what I know to myself. As far as Van and Dilandau are concerned I only know that they work for the Abharaki, that they deliver justice in a good way – not the gangster method of killing people, and what I find for them online and hacking helps them, end of story.

They really are stupid if they think that there's no information on them – I'm good on the internet, and there are thousands of websites about them.

But they weren't paying a visit for my help, they were just being the nosy gits they enjoy being. They bounced in, their usual annoying greeting of sneaking up behind me and yelling at the tops of their voices, "HELLO HITO-CHAN!" which they thoroughly enjoyed as I had four empty trays and dropped them all to the floor, so I ignored them and knelt down to pick them up but shot my leg out and hooked my ankle round the nearest leg I found behind me, hooked it and pulled it off the floor.

I recognised Dilandau swearing in Fanelian and Van laughing as he bent down and picked up the four trays and putting them in my hands. "You're improving," he murmured, grinning at my retaliation. I responded with picking up the top tray and tapping him quite hard on the head. He rolled his eyes, "Now you've dealt your retribution, can we be served?" I stuck my tongue out and stood up and put the trays on the nearest table.

Everyone in the café – at least the regulars ignored our actions as it's normal that the two of them sneak up on me and I respond with violence, after that we're all friends. Dilandau stood up, followed by Van and they both placing a hand behind each elbow, guiding me to the table at the corner nearest the kitchen, and nearest the wonderful scent that wafts from Zia's magical pastries.

We all sat down and Dilandau seemed to smile in a paternal way, "So what's new Hitomi?" I rolled my eyes, "Nothing dad. Aside from your chief skivvy making perverted comments about me…"

"What?" Van interrupted, looking slightly peeved, I rolled my eyes and noticed Dilandau smirking, but decided pacifying the Dragon seemed the better option unless I wanted Dallet in a coma, and I'm really not that sadistic. Ironically Van's always been protective of me and Merle, even more than Dilandau and my own brother. But my brother's never been that caring about anything much other than his hair care.

Van can be the most laidback person in the universe at times, but he is very protective and can get very angry very quickly which I have found out the hard way. I sighed and raised my palms, "Dallet just made a comment, that's all. He didn't try to rape me! Calm down Van, I'll get you two your usual." I stood up and started to double back towards the trays when Van grabbed my arm, looking almost worried, "If anything happens, anything, you will tell us?"

I looked at him, sensing his anxiety and it intrigued me as Van is one of the most laid-back people I know in general. But before I could question him Dilandau seemed to strangely cover for him, "She's not going to be kidnapped, and Dallet and his lot are harmless." He then turned to me, "If he starts getting too annoying I'll have a word with him. Don't worry."

He eyed both of us, "Both of you. Now would you get us some ice-cream please?" I grinned and walked away, picking up the trays and gave the orders to Zia who recognised it instantly and yelled out of the kitchen, in Fanelian, "Why haven't I been said hello to!?" the two of them recognised her voice and bolted into the kitchen, bowing to her, calling her Zia-sama, which makes no sense and then took their leave whilst I took coffees and food for other tables.

I returned to them a few minutes later and brought them their ice-creams. The rest of the day was spent doing homework and my parents talking loudly on the phone to people – their snobbish friends, but I paid no attention. Instead I've been focusing on this situation with Allen Schezar, I mean my parents told me a few days before school started and his sister appears.

You can't just come to Gaea High, there's a few years' waiting list. I definitely feel my spider senses tingling or rather screaming at me and not in a good way.

And on top of all this I've been thinking. I mean I've never had a boyfriend and the strongest 'romantic' feeling I've experienced was two years ago when Van took his shirt off whilst playing basketball and put his arms round me to help me shoot. I remember almost fainting at that moment, I mean even though he's the older brother of one of my best friends and four years older than me, etc.

How sad is that? My most romantic moment wasn't even with a guy that I had proper feelings for – I mean I've had a crush on Van, come on he's gorgeous, but just that moment being the pinnacle of my love life makes me feel sick. I'm starting to understand why my parents are trying to marry me off.

I think a list would help, a positive list, or rather a positive list for me and negative one against marrying Schezar:

Reasons why Hitomi Kanzaki shouldn't marry Allen Schezar:

1. Hitomi Schezar sounds rubbish, Hitomi Iaquinta sounds sooo much better, especially Hitomi Esmeralda Iaquinta – the perfect Fanelian name! Way better than Hitomi Esmeralda Schezar, sounds like a confusion of nationalities.

2. He's not Fanelian! It may sound racist, but I want to marry someone Fanelian, I'd have such a nice mother-in-law and the husband being such a mummy's boy would be so caring towards me due to that fact, of course very masculine at the same time. Only Fanelian men can carry this off, trust me!

3. One's husband's hair should NEVER be a millimetre longer than that of his wife's, I got this from one of mum's handbooks from the 50's that are very outdated, politically incorrect and laughable. Anyway, if so I would have to grow my hair down to my arse and I personally don't want to sit on my hair, Yukari did that before she met Amano and always had to move it out of the way before she sat down.

4. Schezar is blonde, my perfect husband will have dark hair! No offence to blonde haired guys, but I prefer dark-haired guys. Also Schezar's long, blonde hair just screams femininity at me. Ah well.

5. Schezar has evil eyes. I could tell when I looked at him, they were a hypnotic bluish grey, and not in a good way! In a way that let you know that if you married him, you would end up a Stepford Wife with no emotions and would be controlled completely by him, whilst he has his dalliances leaving you a laughing stock leading on to point 6.

6. Schezar has a reputation, for being a ladies' man – and not in a good way, well obviously! He definitely wouldn't be faithful in any way. He's probably just going along with this for kicks and to see how long it'll be before I fling my panties at him and then will take them (my panties) as a souvenir and bugger off.

7. An arranged marriage is in no way romantic! Okay, in fanfics the couple fall helplessly in love and I adore that, but there is no way Schezar and I will. I am marrying either a member of DBSK or Vicenzo Iaquinta. Sigh.

8. If I marry Schezar, I will be unable to marry Iaquinta or Yunho from DBSK, and I am not the type of person to carry on behind someone's back. I've seen my brother do it and Dilandau, and it sickens me.

9. Schezar no doubt expects the perfect housewife, someone who will adore him, keep a blind eye to his infidelities, dress and act immaculately in front of 'society,' do as he wishes – you know what I mean. Someone who will raise his children without a word of complaint. Hey I know I've never had a proper conversation with the guy – but I could tell from those few words that passed between us.

10. Schezar would in no way want to marry a girl, yes girl that's six or however many years younger than him. Not to mention a girl who swears profusely, eats messily, cries and laughs at the same time, snores and drools when asleep. Who prefers to wear sweat pants or jeans and a t-shirt than a mini-skirt or prim and proper dress, has no idea how to use all the forks and knives at big fancy dinners and is very vocal about her football team.

Wow, I can understand why no-one's ever asked me out properly, I mean I've been to some parties and been asked by drunk guys from my class to dance or 'go out sometime,' but they're rarely making eye contact, as they're eyes are either glazed over completely or staring down my top.

Maybe I should try make-up, shudder or a different hair style from the usual hair pulled back in a high pony tail. Sigh, I can't believe I'm actually considering this! Merle and Yukari would probably wonder what the hell I was up to, and Dilandau and Van. Jeez, they'd rip the complete piss out of me, I don't do pretty.

I do slouching on the sofa in a jumper and jeans and scarfing food. However, their reaction would be highly entertaining. This seems like an interesting idea, and I feel like a challenge, to see if I can do pretty. Okay that means I'll have to wear pantyhose or skin coloured tights like the popular crowd, not my regular black tights; I'll have to shave my legs properly rather than missing random bits in a rush for training.

To be pretty one must be perfect.

Also, I'll have to wear shoes with a slight heel, not my usual pumps which are starting to look slightly battered. My comfy school sweater will have to go, it'll be a blouse with a button or two undone, you're pretty, not slutty. I should probably wear some different earrings; dainty ones, not my gypsy hoops as my darling mother calls them, she feels they're too Fanelian and common, or my regular studs that reside permanently in my ear.

I'll have to wear some appropriate jewellery and not my regular Fanelian saint's medal. And lastly, my hair will have to be down, not in its usual sloppy bun or ponytail and tangledness. It will have to be styled slightly, maybe with a flowery hairclip. Sigh, this will be hard, but fun in a masochistic way. It could also go horribly wrong as my parents could see it as me attempting to try and impress Schezar, which is the farthest thing from my mind.

Looks like this will be interesting, though knowing my combined luck and karma, it'll probably make no difference whatsoever and people will just treat me like I'm acting mental – which is normal actually. Well, here's to change.

All my love,

Hito-chan (it's starting to grow on me)

Cheers! Sorry it's so short but I wanted to update in honour of my birthday and celebration of oral exams being over! Let me know what you think!!!
