"HIMURA!!"

*WHUMPH*  *SPLASH*

"Ahh!  Himura!  Look, I'm all wet now!  How am I supposed to walk in the dojo all wet?  And what about Aoshi-sama?  He's here too you know (I don't know where but he's here).  It wouldn't have been good if you'd gotten him all wet too – he's carrying all our clothes!

"Well?  Aren't you going to apologize?  Say hello?  'Hi Misao, I missed you too, now come in and make yourself at home?'  (I was going to do that anyways but it'd be polite to ask, at least, Himura.)

"Grrrr …  HIMURA!  SAY SOMETHING!"

"O-orrroooo …"

"Sheesh …"

*****************

Heh, no it's not much, I know, but I had a bit of a busy day today.  Plus, did I ever mention that I am extremely lazy?  Well, I am now.  Maybe someday, when I'm a full-time writer, then I'll sit down and write ten pages a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, but now I have school and homework and cross-country and karate and French club and all that shit to deal with, so it is quite frankly not going to happen.  Besides, I'm not planning on making the switch to a full time writer when I'm consistently making enough money as a writer as I am in my other job (whatever it is) and I have been for a while.  Or when it gets to the point where I'm actually losing money by going to work instead of writing, but that's certainly a just a little unlikely.  Like Antarctica is just a wee bit chilly, ya know?

Anyways, you'll be relieved (or horrified) to know that this is probably as short as these chapters are going to get – I mean, lazy is one thing, but if I can't find the time of day to write a fucking third of a page in pure dialogue, then I've got no fucking right to call myself a writer.  So no one-or-two liners out of this nutcase, anyways.

And um, I kinda swore a blood oath that I'd never, ever, ever do this but … reviews are good, ya know?  They let me know people are reading this piece of shit.  Not that I'd stop writing it anyways but still …

Okay I'm stopping now.  (Not that anyone has actually read this far.)

(Dear God, the author's notes was longer than the story!  Am I pathetic or what?  'Cause I think I'm pretty pathetic.)
