This is Tachibana Kippei's hospital journal. I won't be writing here for long, because once I get this problem fixed I'm out of here. I still have an ATP-Tournament to practise for

Don't say such depressing things, Tachibana-kun ~♥

[not_gonna_die]

I've seen you before.

[jackal_rn]

Well...most of the nurses on my floor will whisper about just about anything: annoying families, dumb doctors, weird smells...mostly dumb doctors.

Hope you get your problem sorted out soon!

[not_gonna_die]

I'm glad to hear that. For a while I really thought I have something in my face that's not supposed to be there.

[jackal_rn]

Nah - if you had something on your face they'd just start asking if you ran out of clean wash-cloths.

[not_gonna_die]

I see.

[mumble_bug]

Tachibana-san?

You're a patient here too? Are you okay? It's not serious is it? I'm not sure whether I could deal with it if it was.

The nurses are talking about you? That's rather rude of them, especially if you are in the room. It's very degrading, and not very pleasant for you to have to put up with. They do that to me too, and give me looks when they think I'm not looking, so I understand how you feel. It's best if you try to ignore it, even if that is quite hard to do.

It would be quite nice to see you again, after all this time. Are you mobile? If so you could always come to see me around the neurology ward, if you get lonely or want to I mean. You don't have to, of course. Or if you can't or don't want to or aren't allowed or something, then I could always get Kamio (he's here too, by the way) to help me over to see you.

It's nice to have you here, even though it's not, I guess, because you're sick and that's not a nice position to be in.

I've missed you.

[not_gonna_die]

Ibu Shinji. Boy, am I glad to hear from you.

I'll come over once my check up is done tomorrow. They're still keeping me here. Is something wrong with your legs?

[mumble_bug]

It's nice to hear from you to, Tachibana-san.

I'll look forward to seeing you too. But if they are still keeping you here, then it must be for a good reason, so I wouldn't complain.

My legs? I guess you could say that. Not just them, though. I haven't really been well these last ten years.

[not_gonna_die]

I know... I'm just tired, and I want to get back to training.

How come you haven't contacted me? If you were unwell I would've wanted to know!

[ribbon_idol]

I wish that I could say the same thing. The doctors and my manager said that they're going to keep me here a while. I hope that the doctors are able to figure out what's going on with your problem.

And I agree that the nurses are annoying. They chatter away almost all the time. Only a few of them are really focused on their job, I've noticed, but at least you haven't been accosted for autographs or pictures?

Oh! I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Kisarazu Atsushi.

[not_gonna_die]

I've got a few too eager fans coming over. Haven't seen them, though. I said I want to be left alone.

I think I've seen you in posters around where I live whenever I have time to come home. You were in St. Rudolph during middle school, weren't you? Or was it the other Kisarazu?

[ribbon_idol]

It's good you haven't had any run-ins yet. I've been accosted by at least three nurses for pictures and autographs...

Ah. Posters... Hopefully they're not the awful ones of me in that stupid sripper outfit... Why do girls like that?

Yes, I'm the Kisarazu that played for St. Rudolph in middle school. I played doubles...

The other Kisarazu is my brother, and as far as I know he remained in Rokkaku.

[not_gonna_die]

I see. Nice to meet you, I guess.

No, it was the one with the white outfit. Who knows why I remember a thing like that.

[injuriesarelame]

Better watch out, this hospital likes to keep people even if they're capable of going home.

[not_gonna_die]

I've noticed.

Damn, what's up with everyone looking familiar? We've met before haven't we?

[injuriesarelame]

Yeah. I have an injury and they won't let me leave....
A lot of the people here played tennis in middle school, maybe that's why.

As for me, you kicked my ass in a match back in middle school. I was bitter about it back then, but I guess I should be thanking you, since I discovered my love for doubles tennis that way.

[not_gonna_die]

I don't even have an injury. I'm fine. Just need meds, that's what my coach said.

Ah, Shishido Ryou. I should've remembered, sorry. It's even in your icon!
