Dear Yume,
Nothing really happened yesterday. I just sat around the house all day, cleaning my room, packing and reading most of the time. It was quite dull. I don't see why I need to be packing so early on, since it means I have to wear my old clothes that I haven't packed for the next week and a half. Oshuro is also making me pack all this extra junk so that I'll have 'costumes' for Neo CardCapturing. He insists it's spelled that way, by the way. I think it looks a bit weird that way.
It began to rain yesterday and has been raining since, and it's gotten quite chilly also. I think my seiten lesson may be cancelled for today. I've caught a cold because I always sleep with my windows open, even in the dead of winter. I usually don't have to share my room at the school because of this, since everyone else finds it downright obnoxious.
Yesterday didn't get interesting at all until after the sun set, and that was because someone called me on the phone. It was Shiroyuki! I was very happy to hear from him, and he wasn't depressed for once. Maybe he's finally gotten over the fact that poor Sotaru is gone, and there's nothing either of us can do about it. We talked for a long time before he finally had to go. His dad didn't want him eating up the phone costs.
Talking to him actually made me want to go to school, since now I want to see him. It's not like I haven't seen him in so long, it's just that now he seems to have recovered from the depression he sank into and it seems that he's finally back to his normal self. That normal self I haven't seen nor heard from in two years. The last time I talked to that was the day before Sotaru died. If there's anyone on this planet that I'd tell of my duty as a CardCaptor, it would be him. Maybe I will tell him. I'll ask Oshuro first about it, though.
After talking to him I wandered downstairs and found that my younger sister had one of her friends over and that they are having a sleepover tonight at this house. They were baking cookies and generally being annoying little girls. Well, probably the reason they're so annoying to me is that they're future popular people, or wannabes, and that's not a good thing. They were doing their make-up after they took the cookies out. I really hate make-up.
Funny, now that I think of it, they remind me of Momoko. Wonder if they'll end up at that dumb all-girl's school. My younger sister, Chiara, is too younger to start going to boarding school. She goes to this private school that is only about five or six leng* from the house. Her little friend goes there too. I don't know her friend's name, and I don't care to either. They both turned eight this year, so next year they'll probably be shipped off to boarding schools.
They wouldn't let me have any of their cookies! Instead, they took all of them and ate most of them and hid the rest. Was that very nice of them? I think not! Miserable brats....
I went to bed late again, which is becoming a bad habit of mine, especially since I am going back to school soon and I'll need all the rest I can get once there. I was woken up in the middle of the night by Oshuro, all because a card was casting about outside and had made everything huge. He didn't tell me that at first, he just said a card was at work and pointed out the window. There was a bug the size of my father crawling down the sidewalk and the raindrops were the size of bauquet* balls falling from the sky.
I threw on my slippers, grabbed my cards and got my rod ready ready before leaping out the window onto the balcony and from there jumping to the ground. Oshuro followed, flying of course, and said something about me needing a costume. I remember that I said something rude to him about needing to get up in the middle of the ngiht to combat a card and not needing a costume to do so. I was in just my nightshirt and slippers.
He told me it was obviously the Big card so we looked around the neighbourhood for wherever everything was big. We finally saw that at the top of the hill the grass had grown too large, and the fences had also, along with the tower up there.. We ran off into the night and when we got there we could see this really tall lady sitting on a bench. At the time she was making a meinet* gigantic. She then saw me and I challenged her, and soon enough I found that I had grown as large as the tower. She forgot about me rather quickly and started to make some other things huge.
Oshuro had to fly up right in front of my face since I couldn't hear him at all when he was near my feet, even when he was yelling. He told me that the Big was one of the more gentle cards, despite her bad habit, and that all I had to do was re-seal her when she was just distracted. This turned out to be a bit hard, even if it doesn't sound too hard. That's because my rod hadn't grown with me and was like a twig in between my fingers. I tried anyway, but whisper the incantation to seal it so that people wouldn't awake in their beds and look out the window and see a giant me.
Oshuro was right. Big didn't struggle at all, just returned to card form and everything shrank back to normal immediatly. We walked back home (well, he flew) and somehow managed to climb up the side of the house to the balcony and back in the window of my room. I put my cards away, kicked off my slippers and fell into bed, exhausted. Soon enough I was asleep. But, also, this meant that soon enough my alarm went off and I had to get up and pack some more!
Truly,
Iyoneru
