I am really bored.

Just thought I'd put that out there, because it's true.

Anyway, wanted to say that I'm sorry for the long wait, but lots of things came up, so I couldn't post on Monday. As a result, I wrote this on the same day, and I decided to upload it the same day as the other part, as an apology.

Just finished reading this freakish book called 'You've Been Warned' by James Patterson and Howard Roughan. It was... yeah. I've never read a more confusing book, with the exception of 'The House of Dies Drear'. I forgot who wrote that one, but I read it in third grade, and I still don't get it... Oh well.

Listening to 'Piano Things' and 'Dark Shines' by Muse.

Man, Muse is a really cool band; I started listening to them when I read in the acknowledgments for Twilight that Stephanie Meyer got a lot of inspiration from their songs. I was curious so I figured 'Hey, why not?'.

BEST IDEA EVER.

Now I'm jamming to those songs, and am loving it, while typing this.

So now that I've caught you up on what's going on with me, I'll shut up and start writing.


Well, this is... unexpected.

Akihiko had been walking up the street to Takahiro's house, when he had come across none other than Misaki, who was currently hitting his head repeatedly on a wooden telephone pole and mumbling to himself.

To be honest, Akihiko was a little worried about him.

He hesitantly approached the apparently crazed teen. "What are you doing?"

Misaki jumped and, upon seeing Akihiko before him, froze. "It... it's sensei!" he said loudly and frantically. "Sensei appeareths to be in a splendious mood!"

Akihiko stared at him drolly, then shook his head and sighed. "I think you need to re-learn some of that formal language," he commented, then changed the subject. "Well anyway, I'm glad I ran into you. Let's go."

At the teen's blank look, he held up the cake box he was carrying and elaborated. "It's Takahiro's birthday today, isn't it?"

Misaki responded slowly. "Uhh... yeah..."

They looked at each other in awkward silence for a moment, until Akihiko broke the silence. "Your face says 'I forgot'," he observed.

"How can I forget?" Misaki's face flushed pink in anger, and Akihiko laughed in response. Misaki looked down, then slowly pulled a paper out of his pocket.

"Umm... Usagi-chan-sensei... My grades came in today..."

Hesitantly, he held the paper out to Akihiko, who took it. Curious, he looked down at the sheet to see the A's and B's that littered the page.

So my tutoring really did help the brat... Beaming, Akihiko ruffled the boy's hair roughly, chuckling as Misaki protested, saying "What are you doing?" angrily.

"Very good!" Akihiko encouraged the teen as his face blushed crimson, looking down at the ground in embarrassment.

He's really cute when he blushes, Akihiko thought with some surprise as he watched the teen intently.

But what surprised him even more was the strange feeling that welled up inside him suddenly, blocking his throat as he watched Misaki.

What is this feeling?

But no matter how hard he tried, he could not think of a name for this new emotion...


You know, I'm listening to my CD player playing The Soundtrack To My Life (as I like to call the CDs I burn) part IV, and the song 'My Immortal' by Evanescence came on.

And I start thinking. (Dangerous, that.)

Since I'm into the AMV-making groove right now, what if I made an AMV that's Aeris (or Aerith, for you new-age Final Fantasy-players) and Cloud with that song? It might be pretty good...

Just a random thought.

If you want to see AMV's I've already made, you can look me up on YouTube; there aren't many up right now, but I'm trying to download the cutscenes for Final Fantasy: Crisis Core, and it's not going so well, hence why I haven't uploaded many.

So if you want to see my completed ones, it's Stygian Dawn on YouTube; and if anyone can find a way to download those cutscenes, please tell me, because I want to make a Zack Fair AMV badly. Thanks!

Anyway, so I'm currently listening to 'Epiphany' from the new Sweeney Todd movie. Dark, I know, but I love that movie. My only qualm with it is that they didn't put the Ballad of Sweeney Todd in it, which would have made it so much better... =(

Oh well.

This part was pretty easy, but that's because it's so short. Sorry that it kinda ended badly, but I couldn't think of a better way. We're coming to the close soon, so be prepared!

Oh, and also: just want to see if anyone who reads this is going to Sugoicon 2010. I meant to ask it in the beginning, but I kinda forgot again and again... until now.

So, If anyone's going to Sugoicon 2010, please tell me! I've been before once, but the last time it was only for a Sunday, and am woefully unprepared for what happens on Friday/Saturday, so please message me if you are!

Reiteration: If you want me to write another chapter from Akihiko's point of view, then tell me which chapter, and if possible, give me a link to the first page of the chapter via MangaFox.

Evermore, Kat
