(no subject)

I've seen many things in my life that I deemed impossible as a child, but I never imagined a change like this. I haven't been here long, only a couple hours or so, and I already feel as if I've made a great change in my life. It seems that many of you have adjusted, and that makes me optimistic. But ... I worry.

That's probably not the best way to introduce myself, is it? My name is Takayanagi Masataka. I've just arrived.

I'm sorry for not being here for you, Aya-chan.

She just posted below me, and I'm certain that's her.

How has she been able to withstand this for so long? It appears that Nagi isn't here, which means he's back there waiting for me—and for her. He asked me to take that duty upon myself, and then I end up here and find that I cannot do that. He said that even my brother fears my potential, but what potential will I have while here? I will have to continue trying to realize my true self, however. I will do it for you, Aya, and for you, Nagi. And for you, Taichou, until I can come and face the feat that has been set out before me.

I said I would make a place for myself. This is just another difficulty I shall have to face until I can do that. Nagi said it's better that I don't have that place, but in making a new place, I'll still allow myself to stand outside and make it better.

I'm doing it mostly for you, Aya. I'll always be there for you, and I regret that I could not keep that vow for the time you were here.

Senpai...

I'm sorry I couldn't bring Nagi with me.

No, it's okay, Senpai.

I'm glad you're here.

... You don't look very happy in your icon, Aya-chan. Are you sure?

I don't know what I should feel, Senpai. I'm sorry if I don't look happier, but I really am... really glad you're here. I've missed you a lot.

I'll be here for you until he shows up, Aya-chan. I promise.

Can I come see you right now?

Mm. I'm moving out of Yuuko-san's house right now. There's a lot of people for you to meet, Senpai. There's Yuuko-san, Dante-kun, Rukia-san, Andrew-kun and Jonathan-kun, because they're usually together!, and there's Kabane-san, who just showed up too. I think you'd really like Kabane-san, Senpai, he's part of the Red Feather Family too. He's kind of like a missing piece, and I'm glad he's here because I'm excited to get to know him. There's Roxas-kun too, my roommate, and I'm moving back in today. I just decided, and now that I think about it, it might be because you came too, Senpai. I've been having trouble using the Dragon's Eye because Souichirou-sama isn't here, but that's alright, because there's no war here.

Oh! I signed up for a kung-fu class. Chinese arts are a lot different than Japanese ones, but I can understand where a lot of the fundamentals come from. Sifu Vilma is really nice, she's hard on us, but I think that's good, because I really want to get better. I think you'd like her too, and Suzaku-san, Faith-san and Buffy-san, who are all in the advanced class. I bet if you tried out, Senpai, I have no doubt that we'd be in the same class.

I'm sorry that I decided to move on the day that you showed up. Would you mind helping me? I have to stop by the store and get some ingredients for beef teriyaki, because that's what Roxas-kun wants for dinner. You can stay too if you want, I know you're a fan of my cooking! You can meet Roxas-kun too. Did they assign you a roommate yet?

I'm not surprised you've made so many friends here, Aya-chan. I hope that I can get to know all the people that you know, even if they'll all be new to me at first! I don't know if I've made things better for you by arriving, but I hope so. This place is really new, and I'm glad you're here.

I would need to continue training if I came here, so I would like to speak to your Sifu when the time is right. I'd hope that time would come rather soon, though, because I think I'd grow anxious without training.

You don't need to apologize! It gives us something to do together. I'll be glad to help you move, and if we go to the store, it should be easier to find things around here. I haven't had a chance to explore yet. I don't have a roommate yet.

It's so strange, especially not being able to use my Powers. It's kind of like stepping through a fog. All I can see is my own past. I haven't decided if I like it yet, there are bad things and good things. I like meeting all the different people here, and there are a lot of people who have powers. It's nice to get to know people, and how they feel, and where they come from... It makes me feel like I'm not alone. I hope you get to know them too! There's all kinds of people here. Maybe you can make some friends and we can introduce each other to our friends, Senpai!

Mm, I'm sure Sifu Vilma would be happy to have you. You can come with me to my class on Saturday, if you want. Sometimes I go help out with the intermediate classes, or the women's defense class.

Okay! I'm sure Roxas-kun wouldn't mind if you stayed for dinner. We're having beef teriyaki. I can point out some things on the way, and maybe we'll meet someone that I know.

Oh, I see. Will you be lonely without someone living with you?

I'm sorry you've had to enter that fog. I admit I don't completely understand because it's the life I've always had. I tried to understand it before, and I'll continue to try, but you know it's different for me. I'm sorry you've felt limited in that aspect. I can tell that there are probably a lot of people who have powers, and I feel a little average in comparison to them, but I'll prove myself in my own way. It will be a little awkward making friends of my own while I'm here. I've been so used to spending time with the Juuken Bu ... And I wouldn't want to not be at your side.

I'll come with you to any of the classes! I would like to meet her.

I look forward to spending time with you around this place.

I won't be. It will give me a chance to reflect on the day.

It's okay... I'll just have to make due with what I have. I'm sure everything will get better. Besides, both Senpai and Kabane-san are here now!

Mm! I'm sure she'll be excited to meet you.

If you say so, Senpai... I wonder how much time they'll give you before you have to go to school.

I think it will, too.

I hope so!

They told me I had to go back on Friday, but I think I'll use my free time to train until then.

Kabane-san is here too.

I saw that. I ... hope things are better than they were back there. I'm afraid I didn't completely understand that.

They are, you don't have to worry, Senpai. There's no war here. Kabane-san is a lot like me.

That's good to hear, Aya-chan.

Ah, it's the younger brother.

I am Mitsuomi's brother, but I'd prefer if you called me something else.

All right. I'll try to remember, Takayanagi-kun.

Thanks.

Kabane-san, I was just telling Senpai about you...

And I seem to have made a bad impression on him already...

It's okay, I don't think that's something you would know.

Don't worry, Senpai's very understanding! He won't beat you up, Kabane-san.

I suppose I'm glad of that?

Ah... but then again...

Hm?

I was just thinking that sometimes... Senpai is very calm, and then all of a sudden, he beats someone up without changing his expression. I think you might want to watch out, Kabane-san. It might be like poof! And Senpai's standing there calmly, and then he beats you up.

I'd really rather not be pointlessly attacked, if that's all right...

I don't pointlessly attack people ...

Ah... maybe it wasn't a very good joke.

Ah, a joke...?

Hee, Senpai is one of the kindest people I know. You don't have to worry.

Ah, all right then!

I don't take well to being referred to as just his brother. I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry. I've only ever met Mitsuomi-san, and I wanted to make certain you were the same Takayanagi.

That's all right. I've gone a long way to prove myself, and I'm not against trying to prove myself to you, as well. But I don't see a reason for it, and Aya-chan says she wants to get to know you better.

I think I should get to know you better, too.

"Prove yourself?" Oh, I'm sorry, I really haven't got any interest in having anything proven to me, thanks very much,

Really?

She probably makes it sound like I intend to attack you the first time I see you. I assure you that I'm not like that, Kabane.

I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to get to know one of Aya-chan's friends, even if we are in opposition in our own world. There's no more war, and the differences between us don't matter anymore.

We've come from the same world, so you'll understand why I take comments like hers at face value, I'm sure. All right, Takayanagi-kun.

Ah, well, Natsume-san and I are going to get waffles some time; if you'd like to, I suppose you could come as well.

That's understandable. Sometimes I feel as if many people fight because it's their first instinct. I've seen it so many times already.

I'd like that.

And until just recently we had been on opposite sides of a fight... I wouldn't have blamed you, had you attacked me, honestly.

Ah, you make it seem like I can't make jokes at all! Did I take it too far?

Ah, no, I just can't tell from your face when it's over these computers is all! I'm sorry, I know what it's like when people don't react well to your jokes...
