just a little something till i get to post proper...
1: Its always darkest before dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbours newspaper, that’s the time to do it.
2: sex is like air. Its not important unless you’re not getting any.
3: No one is listening until you fart.
4: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.
5:If you think that nobody cares that you are alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
6: If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
7: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
8: Some days you’re the bug, others, you’re the windshield.
9: Good judgement comes from bad experience, and that often comes from bad judgement.
10: Duct tape is like THE FORCE. It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together.
11: There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
12: Generally speaking, you aren’t learning if your lips are moving.
13: Experience is something you don’t get till after you need it.
14: Never miss a good opportunity to shut up.
15: We are born wet, naked, hungry and slapped on our ass. Then things get worse.
16: Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
17: There is a fine line between hobby and mental illness (and I think im waaay over it-Darke)
18: No matter what happens, someone will always find a way to take it too seriously.
19: There comes a time when you should expect other people to stop making a big deal about your birthday…around 11 years old.
20: Everyone seems normal till you get to know them.

*yawn*
so tired.... ~_~
so freakin bored. got a tonne of stuff to do and no real desire to do any of it.
had a weird dream this morning. I had a dream i was playing poker with my mates and i had an excellent hand. i cant play poker, but i just knew that this hand was the best hand you can get. The stakes were rising and I was just about to play my hand when the FUCKING ALARM WENT OFF!!! i never saw how it turned out. T.T
not that i would have mattered, but its annoying knowing you're going to win, and then get the chance swiped from you.
*sigh*
I've managed to get all of vol.1 of See No Evil onto fictionpress.com. huzzah! Just got vol.2 (chaps 5-7 and the not yet existant chap8 and epliogue) to go. After i finish, Im thinking of doing a little Omake. just for a laugh.
Yesterday we were told by our english/comms teacher that he wants to have our work folders in by the end of the week so he can check our work and get it ready for a Parent-Teacher evening. My work is covered, and i mean COVERED with doodles. its not finding the doodles in the work, its finding the work in amongst the doodles. i might have "not tell" my mum about the evening. ^^;
We have a cadet talent show coming up soon. i might sing in it or something. i dunno.
here, as promised is the results form the handwriting test i did. Its pretty accurate actually. if you dont wanna read it, skip to the bottom.
Here is your analysis.
For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Phil has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Phil fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Phil has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Phil is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Phil would like to leave the past behind and move on.
Phil has a very unusual lower zone y loop. If the data input is correct, Phil's y or g is large and opens up to the left side of the page. This is not a common trait, but the implications are very interesting. As you begin to study handwriting analysis, you will learn any loop indicates imagination. This lower loop indicates the amount of imagination Phil has regarding sex and physical things. So, his lower zone stroke is large, so his sexual imagination is large and open. Furthermore, because the loop is incomplete and extends to the left, this indicates a particular fascination with certain aspects of sexuality that have not been fulfilled, yet. In a nutshell, Phil is open to some very new ideas sexually and is willing to try anything once.
Phil is very self-sufficient. He is trying not to need anyone. He is capable of making it on his own. He probably wants and enjoys people, but he doesn't "need" them. He can be a loner.
Phil has a temper. He uses this as a defense mechanism when he doesn't understand how to handle a situation. Temper is a hostile trait used to protect the ego. Temper can be a negative personality trait in the eyes of those around him.
Phil is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. He needs to visualize the end of a project before he starts. he finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said he plans everything he is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Phil basically feels good about himself. He has a positive self-esteem which contributes to his success. He feels he has the ability to achieve anything he sets his mind to. However, he sets his goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". He has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, he will not take great risks, as they relate to his goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, his self-perception is better than average.
In reference to Phil's mental abilities, he has a very investigating and creating mind. He investigates projects rapidly because he is curious about many things. He gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but he soon must slow down and look at all the angles. He probably gets too many things going at once. When Phil slows down, then he becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, he must slow down to do it. He then decides what projects he has time to finish. Thus he finishes at a slower pace than when he started the project. He has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. His mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. He can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Phil can then switch into his low gear. When he is in the slower mode, he can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. He is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Diplomacy is one of Phil's best attributes. He has the ability to say what others want to hear. He can have tact with others. He has the ability to state things in such a way as to not offend someone else. Phil can disagree without being disagreeable.
Phil will be candid and direct when expressing his opinion. He will tell them what he thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want his opinion, don't ask for it!
Phil uses judgment to make decisions. He is ruled by his head, not his heart. He is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see him as unemotional. He does have emotions but has no need to express them. He is withdrawn into himself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Phil does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets him mad enough to tell him off, he will not be sorry about it later. He puts a mark in his mind when someone angers him. He keeps track of these marks and when he hits that last mark he will let them know they have gone too far. He is ruled somewhat by self-interest.
All his conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. He is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, he has poise. Phil will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone.
He would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, he will show his love by the things he does rather than by the things he says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because he feels his mate should already know. The only exception to this is if he has logically concluded that it is best for his mate to hear him express his love verbally. Phil is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to him, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of his sound judgment. He will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. He will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and he will always ask "Is this best for me?"
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially.
According to the data input, Phil doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
if you read all of that, have a cookie.
congratulations.
I cant be bothered to think up a random question or interesting thought. so, taking a leaf from Flueky's scrapbook, i want you guys to ask me a question. anything at all.
or tell me something interesting. anything at all. be free of your inhibitons. ^^
laters y'all

2005...
^^
thanks for your comments yesterday. im going to think it over and decide. ill let you guys know when i come to a decision.
Yesterday didnt go too bad. ^^ it could have gone worse. Could have gone better, but it could have been worse. ^^;
someone dropped their drum. *sigh* and we kept getting out of step. and it was freezin cold. but otherwise, it went well.
Saturday didnt go too bad. My package fianlly came. (HUZZAH!!) so my bro could have his Bday present yesterday. My bro is now 14. he had a Ney York Yankees birthday cake. he loves the yankees. despite the fact that he's never seen a game live. its kinda hard when you live in London ^^;
My Saikano vol 2 Manga and "Last Samurai" DVD came through with the pressie also. Saikano is a dirty book. i couldnt put it down. ^^
also, on saturday i was working on the checkouts, forced smile and all, when this customer came up with her kid. it became apparent to me that this customer couldn't speak, as she kept doing sign language to her kid, who translated it to me. It felt like an episode out of "See No Evil" ^^
anyway, as she was about to go, I said "thank you" in sign language to her (its kinda like blowing a kiss) and she smiled in a suprised kinda way. it made my day, to be able to do something like that. I used to know a bit of sign language but all i know now is thank you. oh well...
to finish today i have my 2005 calander in its entirety. here we go.
My "Earth Angels", doing a parody of a famous pic...
My "Earth Angels: Heaven and Earth" crew...
My "Earth Angels: Guardian Angel Police Force" crew
WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE?
answers on a postcard ^^
tomorrow im going to post my results froma handwriting analysis test i did. probably. laters y'all.
Thought for the week: "the simple fact of the matter is that God gave men a penis and a brain and only enough blood to run one at a time..."

LSD: LUNA SERVICE DAY...
so yah, Luna is in for service today. means im on my lonesome. ^^
i wanted to share a few things with you guys...
First is an extract from Luna's User manual:
WELCOME
The scooter presents you with a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your command as no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an airplane, a pre-ride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is FREEDOM.
kinda poetic for an owners manual i thought, but its really got the spirit of riding in there. something you only understand after riding a motorbike/motor scooter. something thats different from riding in a car or other four wheeled machines...
nehoo, on to the more serious stuff. Its Rememberance Day today (see yesterdays post)
so we start off with this...
For The Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
now, two minutes silence.
and finally, Last Post.
*plays Last Post on his trumpet*
*claps his hands and bows*
Please remember that your freedom today is thanks to the valiant efforts of those who fought in both world wars and all conflicts since. Yes War is wrong, violent and devastating. But it takes a hero to go to war and fight for our freedom.
Good Luck to Flueky on her test today.
Peace and Love.
Darke.

na nu na nu konnichiwa to you...
i feel better today.
but then, who wouldnt after watching Dai Guard vols 2 and 3 on DVD and a little 45 min piece called Madox 01 straight up. thats right. from 3:00 pm when i got home i watched all three DVDs and extras all the way thru. pure anime, straight up. stopped only to empty bins, eat and do the washing up. SW33T.
so yah, happy and stuff now ^^ have a cookie y'all.
Luna is in for her sevice tomorrow. its also Rememberance Day tomorrow. 11th of the 11th. to remember all those who fell in the two world wars and those who have fallen in other conflicts. as the saying goes: "because the war to end all wars...didn't"
so i will be holding a two minute silence tomorrow in a mark of respect. and then on sunday I have to do the formal parade where we go and lay wreaths and stuff at the war memorial. i have to take the band, and they are so not ready. its gonna be a nightmare...
i learned today that your life is not your own. somehow during Communication Studies we went off on a tangent (as is common with Mr. Simpson) and somehow got on to the subject of smoking, and people's excuse is thats its their life and they can do what they want. Mr. Simpson said no, its not. the only people who can claim their life is their own are bums and other people who have no family and no friends. if I died, it would effect a large number of people, supposedly. so if you are thinking about killing yourself, stop to think about who it would effect, and how selfish you are by taking your life away from them.
ne hoo, i've got tonnes of work to do, so i've gotta sign out now. ill finish off with some lyrics...
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain we’ll never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together
Play the game, fight the fight
But what’s the point on a beautiful night?
Arm in arm, hand in hand
We all stand together
La-
Keeping us warm in the night
La la la la
Walk in the night
You’ll get it right
Repeat
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain we’ll never give in
Side by side, hand in hand
We all stand together
"We All Stand Together" Paul McCartney
thought for the day:
Why do Americans call it a football when the players are always carrying it around?

cheer up...
i am not going to post about my day yesterday, nor am i going to post about my life in general. ive been too depressing recently, so i am going to attempt to cheer you guys up.
how am i going to do this, i hear you ask? um...good question. im just going to randomly type till i hit a topic. people who dont like long posts should flip to the end where i should have a fun and uplifting thought...
starting with a poem i found:
HUGS
It is wondrous what a hug can do,
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can say, "I love you so,"
or, "Oh, I hate to see you go."
A hug is a "Welcome back again."
A hug can soothe a small child's pain
and bring the rainbow after rain.
The hug! There's just no doubt about it,
we scarcely can survive without it.
A hug delights, warms, and charms,
it must be why God gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
sweet for sisters, even fine for brothers.
And chances are favorite uncles and aunts
will love them more than potted plants.
Hugs can break the language barrier
and make the day seem merrier.
No need to fret about the store of them,
the more you give, the more you get of 'em.
So stretch those arms without delay
and give someone a hug today!
how mushy...
:3
human interaction...we all need it. even us loners. but if you're sad and lonely, feel safe in the knowledge that someone is always watching out for you. might be someone you know, might be an angel (if you're into that sort of thing) or it might be you yourself.
heres some intersting thoughts i kinda pinched off of Purple Pinguins site...
at least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you
at least 15 people in this world love you in some way
the only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you
a smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you
every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep
you mean the world to someone
if not for you, someone may not be living
you are special and unique
someone that you don't even know exists, loves you
when you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it
when you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world
when you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it
always remember the compliments you receive; forget about the rude remarks
always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know
if you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great
aint that a loada... (fill in word of choice here) ^^
I told you once
I told you twice
all seasons of the year are nice
for eating chicken soup with rice
*hands out chiken soup*
i luv chikens...
its raining here..BUT never fret. Im going to go home, put on my big wellington boots (aka wellies ^^) and go splashing in puddles. I dont care if people look at me strangely. puddles are cool.
lame joke: "its raining cats and dogs outside!" (slang for pissing it down)
"how do you know?"
"i just stepped in a poodle (poodle=puddle ^^)
cor blimey gov'ner. its raing cats and dogs outside. Im gonna go up the apple and pears and grab my nellies then go outside to have a old tin bath...
(cockney rhyming slang...roughly translates :"bloody hell. its pissing down outside. im going to go upstairs and grab my wellies and then go outside to have a laugh...")
im british. we speak funny and eat weird food. ^^
*puts on an upperclass british accent* i say. one notes that we seem to be having an excess in light precipitation today. one wonders if one should go and retrieve ones umbrella? might be a good idea, what? chip chip, tally ho and wotnot...
nehoo, im going now. my random prattling has probably been as amusing as watching paint dry.
mmm...solventy...

*WOOSH* ahhh *SWOOSH* ooohhh! *CRACKLE* weee!!
I swear, Fireworks have so much onomatapeia (sp?) attached to them, its ridiculous.
so yah, we had fireworks yesterday. not a huge display, just a lil half hour thing. quite amusing, i guess...
Work sucked (as always). Even the money is barely compensating for the crap i have to put up with.
RANT TIME:
WHY? OH MY FUCKING GOD! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? WHO GIVES A SHIT IF IM NOT SMILING? GETTING A FUCKING LIFE YOU PRICK! *HOLDS UP MIDDLE FINGER* YOU WANKSTAIN!! Its people like you who make me feel depressed and homocidal. It took me two hours playing "Medal Of Honour: Frontline" with invincible and infinite ammo cheats active for me to cool off. You have the price of thousands of slaughtered digital germans on your hands now!
*sigh*
Luna has got her service due this week. so Thursday is LSD: Luna Service Day.
i might go and buy a DVD tomorrow. my order still hasnt been dispatched yet. it better be here by Sunday.
Heres another month for my Calander. Partly inspired by a comment from Flueky. Here's December...
enjoy.
Thought for the week:
Ibuki: "remember when you went crazy with Dai-Guard and stomped all those cars?"
Akagi: I did not "go crazy", I merely adopted an agressive policy regarding my Giant Robot feet.
Dai Guard: Office workers saving the world...
EDIT: word of the wise...when you are manically depressed, don't watch the director cut DVDs of Evangelion. if anything, it will make you more suicidal. just thought id let you know...

DDD: Dead Darke Day...
feel so tired and meah. so no post today. go lookit at the Darke Plushy. or my calender or sumting...
i will mention this, however.
Today is Bonfire Night/Firework Night/Guy Fawkes night. its kinda like the 4th of July but colder.
we do it to celebrate the un-success of Britains first terrorist, a guy named Guy (or Guido) who tried to blow up the houses of Parliament when the King was there back in the 1600's. personally i think we'd be better off without the government, but shit happens.
neway, we celebrate by shooting off fireworks and burning effergies of Guy Fawkes (aren't we pleasant people?) so its gonna be noisy and stuff tonight, although p3opl3 have been shooting off fireworks for the past fortnight, and probably will continue to for another week or so.
thats it for now. i get paid today.
and if you want the rest of the "see no evil" chappies, PM me your email address, and i'll post them to you ASAP. Britt, you may be able to borrow them off Flueky if she printed them off likle she said ^^
nehoo..
tired...go look at the plushy.
laters.
thought: no funny thought today. hey, we can't always be funny...
EDIT: EEK! Theangelhasfallen has turned off her profile!! i hope she's alright. her name had just disappeared from my favs list!! *worried*

ullo there.
this is going to be another one topic post. however, that doesn't mean its gonna be short. ^^
today is my free day, so im catching up with some work. for my music tech, i have to compose a three minute piece of music to a brief that i can choose. So im going to write some theme music for "Speak no Evil, See no Evil,"
cool huh? if i can figure out how to post it online, i will.
ne hoo, the main topic of my post:
"SEE NO EVIL SPEAK NO EVIL" CHAPTER SEVEN!!!
finished it up last night. if you dont have time to read it all now, copy and paste it and read it later. if you are a follower of See No Evil, I cant begin to insist how much you read this chapter. its very important. enough rambling, here we go...
CHAPTER 7: THE ACCIDENT…
It was coming towards the end of summer. We had a week left. We had had a wonderful summer together, but it was soon time for Kida to return for her second semester of her final year at high school. And I still had to decide whether to take up the Chief on his offer. I didn’t have long to decide.
I was mulling over this fact during breakfast. Kida was still dozing in the guestroom and Cain had already left for work. I rubbed the scars where my eyes had been. For some reason I was really depressed this morning. Perhaps it was something to do with the fact that it was all coming to an end.
Suddenly the door creaked open and Kida padded into the room. As she got close, our bond connected and I could see myself sitting cross-legged on the floor, eating breakfast. I automatically felt a little better, as I always do whenever the symbiosis between Kida and I was active.
“Morning…” Kida stifled a yawn.
“What ever happened to getting up early?”
“Hmm? Oh, I figured, cuz its summer…”
“That’s a bad habit to get into y’know.”
“ Whatever…” Kida went over to the mirror to examine herself. Even with bed hair and dishevelled appearance, she still looked radiant.
There was a knock on the door and Kida went to answer it.
I sat in the darkness briefly, shoving my personal problems on the back burner. When Kida returned, I could see she was holding a package. It was the package you get when you order photographs.
“What’cha got there?”
“It’s the film I used up when we were at Yokosuka.”
I tried to remember what she had taken a picture of when she got a photo out and looked at it so we could both see.
In the picture Kida had her arms thrown round my shoulder enthusiastically with the biggest ever smile on her face, whilst I was facing slightly away from the camera with a slight smile on my face.
I remembered when she had taken that photo. I smiled as the memory returned.
“Aww. That’s a really nice photo of you.”
“And you. You look really happy.”
“Its because you where there with me.”
We shared a small kiss, and then Kida went and took control of the bathroom.
I help the picture in my hands, trying to draw strength from it. Although I couldn’t see it without Kida’s eyes, I had the mental image in my head and that was precious. Especially if…
“Stop it.” I told myself. “Worry about that later.”
I was still sitting there when Kida came out of the bathroom. As our symbiosis turned on again, Kida was in front of a mirror. I could see myself in the background, but the image of Kida was enough to distract my mind from that.
She was wearing a dress, a new one. It was white and it started at her chest and flowed down to her shins. She was wearing new shoes as well and her hair was done up so that half of it fell across her face and the other half was done up behind her head to fall loosely across her back.
“Do you like?”
“Well, well. What’s the occasion?”
“You and I are going on a date. Now.”
“Um…really?”
“Yes. Its all been arranged. I had Cain help me out for some of it. We’re going to the Akamatsu Restaurant in Goto for lunch.”
“You’re kidding me right? That’s the most expensive restaurant in Goto.”
“It’s my treat. You’ve looked after me so much whilst I’ve been here. And I have to go back to school soon, so we won’t see each other regularly. So lets make some memories to take with us, huh?”
I smiled. “Sure.”
Kida smiled back. “Great. Go and put something decent on. The car is picking us up at midday.”
I froze. “Car?”
“Yeah. It’s too far to walk and I didn’t want to get the train. Its part of my treat. Just the two of us. And the driver, of course.”
“Did um, did Cain arrange this?”
“No. I did this part by myself.”
“Oh. Okay.” I paused. “Are you sure, cuz I don’t you going too extravagant on me…”
“It’s fine, really. Go on, hurry up.”
I sighed and went to find a shirt. “It’ll be fine.” I told myself. “Don’t blame her, she doesn’t know. You can do this.”
But I was shaking as I closed my door.
* * *
Noon came all to quickly for me. The car pulled up outside.
“Its here, lets go!” Kida sounded so happy that I felt guilty about objecting. I put if off. And got in the car.
“Its fine.” I told myself. “See. No problems. Nothing wrong. It’s not like every car does it. It was an accident. One time thing. Yeah. No problems. Im cool.”
“Isn’t this exciting?”
“Yeah.” I forced a smile, but I could feel my hand shaking. I clenched it, then put on my seat belt. The car pulled off smoothly and onto the road that led out of Shinoi. The car picked up speed but it was still riding smoothly.
“Hey, this isn’t so bad. I think I can do this.”
“Y’know, Seraph.”
“What?” I kept my voice low, so as not to confuse the driver.
“When I mentioned the trip, you seemed a bit reluctant at first. But now you seem to be enjoying it.” She grabbed my hand and squeezed it. “Im glad Im getting this time to spend with you.”
This made me both happy and sad. If I was going to tell Kida, it had to be now.
“Kida…”
Suddenly the car swerved and the driver yelled out.
“HEY, WATCH WHAT YOU’RE DOING! FOOL! ALMOST HIT US!”
Suddenly a memory I was desperately trying to keep chained up broke loose and surfaced in my conscious mind. I started shaking.
“Seraph? What’s wrong?”
“Sorry bout that folks.” The driver was saying, but his voice was faint. All I could hear were cutting saws and ambulance sirens. And my own heart beat louder and louder.
“Stop the car.”
“What?”
“STOP THE GOD-DAMNED CAR!”
The driver, to his credit, pulled over and stopped. I wrenched open the door and got out. I stumbled across the side of the road, fell on my knees and threw up.
“Seraph?”
A hand was placed on my shoulder. I whirled round.
“DON’T TOUCH ME!”
I started then. I was looking at myself, stressed and agitated. It was enough to make me pause.
I swallowed. “Sorry Kida. But I can’t do this.”
I extended my stick and headed off back to Shinoi.
* * *
I didn’t go back to the house. Instead I headed to the other side of town, to the train station. I got on a train to Goto and when I got there, headed to the gym. The trainers there recognised me and guided me to the weight machines.
I pounded the weights for an hour before a familiar voice halted my angry and frustrated actions.
“Seraph pounding the weights. Not a good sign.”
“Ryoko.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you in here.”
“What are you doing here?”
“Im visiting my parents. Thought I'd stop off here, say hi to the guys.”
“That’s right, you used to work here.”
“So, where’s Kida? I thought you and her had a date today.”
“We did.”
“And?”
“You know about the accident, right?”
“Yeah.”
“It left me with a car phobia. Kida organised a car to take us to the restaurant. “The Akamatsu,”
Ryoko gave out a short whistle. “Nice…”
“Yeah. Anyway, I was coping till some fool almost hit us. I couldn’t take it anymore. I got out the car, and now Im here.”
“And Kida?”
“Im not sure…”
I was cut short by a slap across my face.
“Hey! What was that for?”
“You mean you just left her high and dry?!” Ryoko yelled.
“I couldn’t face her after I acted.”
“Oh jeez Seraph, use the brain you was blessed with. You mean you haven’t told her about the accident?”
“I…I can’t…”
Ryoko sighed.
“I realise I don’t know how much it affected you Seraph. But you can’t let something like that govern your whole life. At least you should tell Kida these sorts of things. I know for a fact she arranged this date out of the kindness of her heart, especially for you. And you don’t even know where she is?”
I couldn’t see Ryoko’s face, but I knew it would have that look on her face she used to get whenever she caught Koji doing something stupid back in Junior High.
“You have been blessed with a beautiful girl, and a unique link with her. And you can’t even see how lucky you are to have her.” She sighed.
“I sure am glad im not your girlfriend.”
I was silent. Mostly because I knew she was right. I didn’t even deserve Kida. What right did I have to treat her like this?
I felt something nudge against my arm.
“Here.” I took the object. It was square and one side felt glossy.
“It’s a photo of you and Kida. It fell out of your pocket whilst you were exercising.”
I knew what photo it was. The one I got this morning. I could still see it in my minds eye.
“Thanks Ryoko.”
We hugged.
“You’re welcome.”
“I gotta go find her.”
“You gonna be alright getting home?”
“Yeah. Take care.”
“Yeah. You too.”
I headed for the train station.

KIDA:
By the time I had awkwardly communicated to the driver that we no longer required his services and apologised, Seraph had long gone. I hurried back down the road to Shinoi. I made my way back to Seraph’s house, but he wasn’t there. I checked every room. No one. I was alone. I sat down on the sofa and started to cry. I realised something had gone wrong with Seraph during the car ride. He had seemed agitated all morning. I should have asked him what was wrong. Why did he just blow me off like that? And where was he now? I was so confused and upset. I wanted to yell out loud, but I couldn’t. I wanted to call my mum, but I couldn’t. I couldn’t do any of that without him. And he was gone. I sat down at the piano and pounded my frustrations out in heavy rhythms, which gave way to sad melodies. Thoughts continued to pound in my brain and I had no way to let them out except through music. I don’t know how long I pounded the black and white keys but eventually my fingers grew more and more clumsy and eventually ceased their dance. I put my head in my hands and cried, great heaving sobs. My anguish was so much that I didn’t hear the door open, nor feel the familiar tingle spread through my body. I did, however feel two powerful arms curl around me and a head lay to rest next to mine.
“Im so sorry.” Seraph’s voice whispered in my ear, also tinged with sadness.
I turned and hugged him back. Then I pounded him, but my fists had no force behind them.
“Where the hell have you been? I’ve been worried about you! You have no idea how much embarrassment I felt trying to communicate to the driver…” All my thoughts and feelings of the past hour came cascading out. Seraph’s embrace absorbed all the abuse with quiet patience until I fell quiet.
“Kida.”
I looked at him.
He took a deep breath.
“You know I was in an accident when I was fifteen right?”
“Yes.”
“We were going out for dinner together. My parents, Cain and I. It was to be our last dinner together before my parents went away overseas. We went in a car. On the way to the restaurant, we were hit by another car. Dad and Cain got away with bruises. Mum had her leg broken. But I was nearest the point of impact. I was trapped in the car for an hour. Luckily the rest of me got off Scot-free. But when the accident occurred, I was facing the window. Two shards of glass embedded themselves in my eyes, all the way back to the retina, or so they tell me. The pain was intense. They had to remove my eyes in an operation. There was no way to remove the glass otherwise. Ever since then I’ve had a phobia of cars. I can’t even go near one without feeling the pain in my eye sockets. And I don’t normally like to talk about it. You weren’t to blame for today. You had no way of knowing. It was all my fault for being so closed about it.”
“No. I understand.”
“You’re not mad?”
“No, Silly. You got in that car for me, even though you’re terrified of them. Im so honoured you would do that for me.”
Seraph was silent for a second, then we hugged each other even tighter.
“I guess we’ve missed our booking at the restaurant, huh?”
“Yeah. We don’t have to pay though. It’s only if we use the table.”
“That’s alright then.”
“I guess.”
“Im sorry. I guess I ruined your plans. Let me make it up to you.”
Seraph stood up and pulled me gently after him. I followed, intrigued.
He led us outside, and up to the shrine. He then took me around the shrine and up a small pathway.
“I haven’t been up this way in ages. I hope its still here.”
He led us down a small pathway off the main path to a small clearing. In the middle of the clearing stood a tree, large and powerful. Seraph put his hand in a hole in the tree and tugged something. From the top of the tree came a rope ladder. He ushered me up.
“Is it safe?”
“Perfectly.”
At the top of the tree was a small platform. It was old and weathered but still firm.
“There.”
From the platform, we could see over Shinoi and the neighbouring peaks. In the late afternoon sun, they looked beautiful.
“Oh, wow.”
“I know. This used to be my hideout spot. Whenever I wanted to get away from the house, I used to come up here. No one else knows about it. Except you. I haven’t been up here since I lost my sight. Im surprised it’s still here.”
We marvelled at the view.
“Not quite the perfect date we had in mind, huh?”
“Any date with you is perfect.”
Seraph let out a small sigh.
“What?”
“There’s something else I’ve been meaning to tell you. Back when we went to Shimizu the first time, when I had to go to the office, I was given a job proposal.”
“Yeah?”
“The Chief wants me to go to this years world summit, and be our reporter there.”
“That’s excellent! Wow. What an opportunity. What’s the matter with it?”
“Well, after the summit, he wants me to stick around in that area, be their international correspondent.”
“Right?”
“I could be gone for a year. Maybe more. I might not see you again.”
It suddenly hit me.
I was going to lose Seraph…
