Hi all! Yet another chapter. Perhaps slightly more happy than the others? I'm not too sure. I've been so blah lately that I just don't care that much any more. Also been insanely busy with school. Tests, presentations, papers and other stuff. Just so all of you know I fence (yeah epee! hehehe) so I used some of the terminology in here. I don't know if it's applicable to Kendo or not but for the sake of arguement I'm going to say they're similar. Again I'd love to hear from you about what you think of the story and who you think the mystery person is. So enjoy!

I write you an online message telling you I can't go to the movies with you and 'your woman'. You write me back saying that that is fine, it's going to be more of a couples thing anyway. I am enraged. I have every right to be I think.
'Why did you invite me then?' I write back. 'To make me feel awkward and left out?! THANKS!'. You then whine saying that I can come if I really want to and that you didn't know it was going to be a couples thing when you invited me. I storm away from the computer fuming. How dare he do this to me. That bastard!
I decide to go and do the only thing that I know that would calm me down. I go to work out. I arrive at Kriter's gym that they have for all of their agents. I proceed to run a few laps on the track. The gym is well equipped with a variety of different machines and various other things. Can't have sloppy and out of shape assassins now can we?
I walk into the main part of the gym to find Aya practicing with a kendo sword. He's so graceful yet powerful with his movements. Each move has a purpose. Not a single move wasted. He stops moving having killed his opponent in his mind. He sees me watching. He picks up the extra sword and throws it to me. I catch it. I guess he wants a physical opponent this time. I walk over and we take our en guarde positions. For 2 hours we fight. He is obviously better than I am as he has far more practice. I hold my own though. By the end of it we are breathing heavily and sporting several welts and new bruises. I feel better though. Frustration having been literally beaten out of me. We bow and walk off together to get some water.
I sit on a bench and he joins me. He doesn't say anything for a while. We just sit there breathing hard trying to get ourselves to calm down.
"He hasn't been at home much this past week."
Aya's voice startles me.
"Huh?"
"I said he hasn't been at home much this past week. I'm assuming that's why you're here. Looking for him. Either that or you're angry at him."
"I don't know what you're talking about. Why should I care where he is and who he spends his time with? I'm not his caretaker."
"No, you're not but you do care for him."
I don't answer to this. I can't answer.
"You should just talk to him. Tell him the truth."
"Hn. Like he'd listen. He knows the truth as far as I know anyway. He's just choosing to ignore it. Besides what right do I have to interfere with what he has now? He can go and have his fun with his new little toy and maybe when he's bored of her I'll talk to him. But not a minute before that."
"Fine. Be stubborn."
He gets up and starts to walk away.
"Aya wait."
He turns and looks at me.
"Is he happy with her?"
"Hai," he says. He sounds kinda sad as he says it.
He leaves and I am by myself once again.
tbc...

so there's another chapter. Life isn't too good right now. I haven't been very happy lately. The only good thing that results from this is more fics. I have a few ideas and of course to keep with my usual writings they'll be angsty. The next chapter is going to deal with why Yoji isn't in the same building as the rest of the boys.
