Well

[petenshi_niou]

The last few times I have been Out, I did not touch this journal. Masaharu seemed less than pleased that I even had access to it, so I refrained for his sake. However, I find myself coming back to it. Perhaps I am still trying to fulfill my "purpose". I doubt he'll be any happier about it, but he has no say right now

Excuse me...? I'm not sure I understand.

[petenshi_niou]

His Other. It's called Dissociative Identity Disorder.

You must be Sanada-san. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[kobanemperor]

Well...I can't say I completely grasp the situation...but you are certainly more polite than he is.

It's...nice to meet you, too.

[petenshi_niou]

Under the circumstances, it might be easier to think of me as another Yagyuu-san, since I'm apparently based on him.

[tennis_no_ko]

Other? What does that mean, Niou...or Yagyuu?

Pardon, I think I'm a little confused. Who exactly are you?

[petenshi_niou]

Someone else who share Masaharu's body. Hiroshi is the only name I have, unfortunately. I apologize for the confusion.

[tennis_no_ko]

I see...have you been with Niou for a very long time, Hiroshi?

[petenshi_niou]

Six or seven years, I think. But my creation was a long process that began about ten years ago. I'm sorry I can't be definite-- when I'm not Out I have no sense of the outside world or how much time has passed.

Hello, Hiroshi. I do hope it's not too much trouble, but I was wondering if I could get you to keep track of the kittens today? The spare room is nearly done, so I was planning on finishing cleaning it out after classes this afternoon.

[petenshi_niou]

I can certainly do that, since it seems I am still Out.

This worries me a little, Yagyuu-san. I've haven't been Out two days in a row in over four years.

I must confess, Hiroshi, it worries me as well. I supposed it's possible that Masa is, in a sense, hiding. We do have a stressful trip coming up soon to try and find his younger brother once I go on summer break from school. We'll have to keep an eye on Nana to see how she handles this, as I fear it will affect her more than Sudoku. By the way, he loves carrots, especially dipped in just a little bit of ranch.

[petenshi_niou]

I knew about the trip, but not how much it was bothering him. You're right. If he fears either finding nothing or finding his brother only to face rejection, then he might hide himself for a while to escape the stress.

Nana seems tentatively curious. I think she may wish to stay close to me even though I'm not Masaharu.

Carrots with ranch dip? That's... strange. But I will keep it in mind.

Ahn? I find myself free for lunch this afternoon. Would you care to join me? I was thinking either the Tea Garden or that new French place.

[ooc: Niou doesn't like to go to those places and Yagyuu isn't any fun anymore. Atobe likes having friends who enjoy tea.]

[petenshi_niou]

That sounds agreeable. I will need to check with Yagyuu-san, though. I can't leave the apartment without warning.

[atoberex]

Of course. It is only polite to let people know where you are going.
