November 22: still seeing Naoko
Dear Diary,
I slowly grew accustomed to not being beat or chained or having others harm me anymore. I still flinch when people don't announce who they are when they walk into a room or when I'm being touched. Wren, Flicka, Zinnia, and Minzhe tried to spend time with me everyday, but Ma and Baba shooed them away. So they wrote me a note one night saying that they'll meet up in my room. I allowed them too. I actually enjoy their company. They stay for an hour then go to bed.
Naoko managed to sneak past Shifu and visit me too. "How did you find me?" He smiled and gently rubbed my paw. "It wasn't easy but I remembered where we first met and I went there and walked into the village. I asked some people where Chun Hua was buried and they pointed up here. So I came up here and found you in a window. So here I am." I leaned in and kissed him. "I'm so glad you came. But you shouldn't be seen here. You could get in trouble." He chuckled and we both laid back against my bed. I curled against his side and halfway laid on his chest. "I am trouble incarnate." I smiled and purred sleepily. "I've missed you so much, Naoko." "As I, you." We stayed like that for the rest of the night.
