Questions

Master called last night. We talked for about an hour. For me that's a long time. I was really glad to hear from him. School keeps me really busy these days, and he's usually busy too (instructing at the dojo and advancing his own training) so the phone is all we have lately.

I miss living with him at the dojo, but I'm happier with the seperation than I thought I'd be. Since that night when Tohru accepted me anyway, and Yuki--ratboy, I mean--told me he was tired of running, I've been...strangely content.

He hasn't been any nicer to me. And yet, I feel more at home with him somehow. I keep on looking at him and seeing someone different than I've seen all these years. For so long I thought I knew everything about him. But he proved me wrong and I...almost respect him now. I'm curious, is all. I'm curious about what else he might show me.

I still hate him. And I still look for new ways to make him mad. He makes me mad everyday just by existing! But I don't think it's wrong to ask questions. I'm learning to do that now, with everyone. I think Tohru showed it to me.

She's such an amazing girl, Tohru. If I never see her again after this year is over...If I never see her after...I go there...Well, I'll never forget her.

Never.
