REALLY BIG ENTRY!
Dear Diary,
Gosh, it's been so long since I've written here. Sorry! I really fell behind, didn't I? Ha ha! Okay, where to begin...
I'm sixteen now! I'm really happy about that, I can go get a driver's license now. If I wanted to, anyway. I can't really afford a car or anything, though, and none of my friends know how. Maybe I could ask Tatsuki's parents if they wouldn't mind teaching me. Or maybe someone at the IPA could! I'll worry about it later, though. It would be nice knowing how to drive, just in case there was an emergency. School's also started. It's weird, though, with Kurosaki being absent. No one really knows where he is, but if I really concentrate, I can feel his reiatsu, so I know he's all right. That comforts me, somehow. Still, I need to find him, so I can tell him what's happening with Aizen.
Captain Yamamoto contacted Captain Hitsugaya and Rangiku, and since I was there, I heard it too. (It was really nice to see Rangiku again, I miss her!) Aizen wants to kill the king of Soul Society, but he needs a special key to do it. And in order to use the key, it requires 100,000 living souls! There has to be a high point of spiritual activity in the place, too. But no one knows where that could be, so everyone's searching the universe to find him. I'm worried, though. I hope it's not Karakura Town. I guess they'd tell us if it was a possibility, wouldn't they? I shouldn't fret so much. More than ever, now, I wish I had Tsubaki fixed so I could fight instead of just defend. That reminds me, I need to find Sado and tell him, too. I think he's training with Mr. Urahara. Ling and I are going to talk to Miss Yoruichi about the broken barette, since he thinks she might know something. I think he's right. Why didn't I think of that first? :D

I met a strange person in Hawaii yesterday named Dewey. He looked like he was about my age, but he wasn't human. He'd used something strange on a seagull that turned it into a monster bigger than I am! It was snapping at people, so I used my shield to block it. It was really hard moving the shield back and forth, and I even started to sweat. Good thing Sado has been training with me! Anyway, he told the bird to get me, and I realized that I couldn't keep blocking it forever. Thankfully, though, I asked a lifeguard what had happend, and he mentioned that the bird had changed. I took a risk and used my healing shield. I had to catch it first, so I let it dive at me, then caught it in my arms and hugged it tight so it wouldn't fly away from the shield. It shrank, and turned normal, and then it flew away. I was happy.
That's when Dewey came to talk to me. He didn't seem really evil, and he wasn't angry at me for undoing what he'd done. That's why I couldn't be mad at him. I asked him why he'd done it, and he said he just wanted to see what people would do. He's just bored, I guess, and doesn't know enough about humans to see them as an equal race. It's a little sad, really. I'm going to be nice to him, and hopefully be a good example of humans so he won't attack them like that anymore. I bought him some grilled fish and pineapple juice, he really liked it! I hope we meet again. Hopefully under better circumstances.

I've recently become involved in the affairs of Servants. Well, not so much their affairs...more just the Servants. I've met three so far. What a coincidence! I like all of them, though. Lancer is the one that Ling is attached to. But whenever Ling comes home after meeting him, he's drunk on whiskey. I guess I don't mind too much, since he's really affectionate when he's drunk, but I always feel bad for him when he gets a hangover the next morning. Poor Ling. Still, I like Lancer a lot. I've talked with him, and he accidentally slipped up and revealed his identity. I don't dare write it down, because anyone could just pick up this diary and read it. But I can't really pronounce his name anyway, or spell it, so just 'Lancer' or 'Cu-chan' is fine.
Archer is the one I know the least about. He has white hair and dresses in red. It's hard to read him. He's very sarcastic, but he's nice to me, too. He gave me some really beautiful lilies to take to Kate when she was in the hospital. And at the time, he didn't even know me! Lancer really doesn't like him, and I think the feeling is mutual. But I think he's nice.
The one I met most recently was Assassin. But I like calling him 'Kojiro-sama' better! He said he didn't see much point in keeping it a secret, because he's not just Sasuki Kojiro, but lots of other Japanese samurai legends too. He's very kind and polite, and really honorable too, a lot like Lancer. But Lancer is more fiery and passionate, while Kojiro is more like a calm stream. I really really like him! We had tea together, and I brushed his hair while he told me stories about his past. Kojiro has such beautiful hair. It goes all the way down to his knees, and it's a shiny black with blue highlights. It feels just like silk. He must take very good care of it.
Both Kojiro and Lancer offered to protect me. Lancer even gave me an earring that means a lot to him. I'm really touched that he would trust me with such a thing. It's because I could restore their mana, and they need that to stay on this plane of existence, it seems. I'm happy to do it! They really don't need to owe me anything, but they seem adamant about it. I think Ling is less apt to worry because of it, though. I feel very safe knowing that there are two strong, brave warriors willing to defend me.

The Relief Society is amazing! After I lost Tsubaki, I felt very strongly that I needed to do something to help. So I made a charity-organized group, and so many people have joined and volunteered. It makes me so happy! There are so many GOOD people in this universe, it's comforting to know that. I've been really busy organizing things, but everything has gone very smoothly according to plan. I guess I shouldn't be surprised; with everyone being so helpful, how could we go wrong? We have a meeting every month.
We just finished the fashion show, to benefit mutant awareness for both Kate and Tina (they're both mutants). Hokuto did such an amazing job! She got two other desingers, Uryuu and someone named Gintoki, and then we all modeled their clothes. I felt so beautiful, everyone was applauding and taking pictures of us. And Ling looked fantastic! He kissed me during our last run, right in front of everybody. I thought I would be embarrassed, but I really wasn't. I was happy. It's good to know that he loves me so much.
Next weekend we're having a social mixer with the Black Sheep Squadron. I'm excited! I get to meet Mr. Fokker at last! He's offered to give me flying lessons in a mecha. It's like a dream come true! We get to meet a lot of the other pilots as well, and we're having a barbecue at the beach. I wonder if it's okay to wear a bikini? Or should I just go in shorts and a t-shirt? I guess it'll be okay to wear a bikini, there won't be anyone bad around. The weekend after that, we're having the date auction. By then, we should have more than enough to build that shrine in Xing to honor and protect the souls of those who died in that awful attack.
I'm working on getting a martial arts tournament organized for Amuro's home plane, so we can shift the violent focus from guns to hand to hand combat. Hopefully they'll want to learn karate after we show it off, and if you learn karate, you learn mental discipline (hopefully). I know it's not much, but it's a step, right? I hope it goes well.
Speaking of Amuro, he and Tatsuki are dating! I'm so happy. He's such a nice guy, and Tatsuki is such a wonderful girl. They really fit well together! It takes a lot for Tatsuki to approve of a guy in order to like him, and I think she picked a really good one. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
---
I'm still not sure what to do about Uryuu. I've been trying so hard not to think about what I feel for him. I've always known that he's a good guy, and someone that I trust implicitly. But when he told me that he loved me, I really didn't know what to do. I made a promise to Ling already, and you know how much I love him. I guess I wasn't counting on loving anyone else. It's terrible, isn't it? I'm a rake. :( But you can't really help thinking about things like that, and, well, I think I love him too. But I can't tell that to anyone. It would just make things awkward and uncomfortable. Ling would be sad because he'd think I didn't love him as much. Uryuu would be sad because I couldn't be with him even if I did love him, and he might think that Ling was keeping me forcefully with my promise. And that's definitely not the way it is! I guess I just love too easily, too strongly. Isn't there something I can do that will make Uryuu smile?
---
And then there's Ling. I love him so much, diary. He's so kind to me, and so understanding. He listens to whatever I chatter about, and holds me if I'm sad, or even when I'm happy. I feel very safe with him. Not just from villains and stuff like that, but I feel safe to be me. He loves me for who I am, and he lets me know.
I was so scared when Greed kidnapped him. I didn't know where he was, or what happened to him. I was so afraid I'd never see him again. Tatsuki was wonderful. She went camping with me when we started searching all over the universe for him, and stuck by me to the end. She's the best friend I've ever had. Envy finally called and said that he had him, and that he was injured, but doing better. I ran all the way there! And even though his ribs were broken, he got up as soon as he saw me and ran to hug me. Then I healed him. What a relief. I hope that never happens again. I can't forgive Greed for hurting him like that, though.
We got married. Don't tell! Not that you could, you're made of paper. It's not really official; it was just a little wedding in the Hub, me and him. We wore red. It's not recognized in Xing, or in Karakura. But it's something for the two of us to remember and reflect upon. I don't regret it. Even if it's not really real, if something bad were to happen to either of us before I could turn 18, then we won't be sad about never getting married to each other. I guess it's hard to explain. We couldn't afford fancy rings, so we got mood rings instead. I only take mine off when I shower, so it doesn't rust or anything.
Diary, I'm so happy. He's everything I could ever ask for. I think I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
Love,
Orihime Inoue
