I resigned from my job. I don't want to work anymore, it takes too much out of me. I believe I have earned enough money to pay my part of rent. For a few months, at least.
Then I'll probably go back to Makai.

There isn't much to post about, really. I've been working, working and working. I'm being exploited, I'm afraid. Especially since I tried making sushi (out of stupidity curiosity). My abilities seem to have aroused the manager's interest, as I now find myself preparing sushi rice, omelet and rolls every day of the week. And it takes A LOT of time with only two people to do that.

I wished to have SOME experience of human life. I think this is going too far.

I'll ask for a few days off. Anyone wants to train with me? I haven't had a good fight in months.

... my apologies, everyone. My manager has given me a few days off and I, er, "stopped" by the Makai... I just forgot about the... time difference. Three days in Makai equal one month in Ningenkai... I think I might have got myself in some kind of trouble. Mmm.

Is that true that Chuu is in Ningenkai?

I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I wish I had more free time.
I have been really busy at the sushi bar. Summer being near, we have many more customers, and I believe we will soon need to take reservations.
Speaking about summer... people here seem to find this type of weather really pleasant. I, unfortunately, cannot share the general enthusiasm.

For those who wonder, Shishiwakamaru has also been busy, but I've seen him only a few times lately, so all I can tell you is that he seems to be all right. We will come back to his apartment soon I hope.

Other than that, things are very quiet around the temple. I wonder how everyone is doing?

I am feeling much better, but it sounds like I missed a lot of things during recovery. Juri has disappeared and no one has seen her yet... Rinku visited on Sunday and told me what had happened between Suzuki and her. I can't help feeling guilty.

He also cleared up a few things for me and called my manager to tell her I had simply been sick. Funaki-san is very understanding. I didn't lose my job.

Apparently, Kurama has awoken from his catatonic state. I would like to visit but I believe he needs more time to recover, and I don't want to be in the way.
I really want to leave that bedroom though. Shishiwakamaru has been patient, not to say caring, and I enjoy quietness, but I'm okay now, really. I can take care of my bandages and my ki is stable.
Speaking of him... he seems really angry at Rinku. I think he has been the object of some kind of joke...I don't understand.

I have expressed the wish to update my journal and Shishiwakamaru was kind enough to bring me the laptop.
I am fine, but I don't have much ki left for the time being. I would like to thank all the people who were there to help. I'm on the road to recovery thanks to all of you. I just need to get some rest now.
Also, I apologize for causing some of you to worry. I wish I had not been so careless in the catacombs.

Oh, I need to call Funaki-san. I don't want to lose another job...

Yesterday....Shishiwakamaru wanted to spar, so we went to the park, and we did hand to hand....he immobilized me....straddled me....my temperature rose...

Damn headache, I can't think straight. I should have gone to bed earlier yesterday. If I weren't so confused...

Why am I feeling like that? Why did that...kiss make me feel...

I need a good cup of tea.

The woman from the Sushi-bar called back yesterday. She asked me a few questions about the application I submitted and she seemed to be happy with the answers I provided, so it sounds like I got the job. I will meet her at 4 in the afternoon in Oike, where the bar is located. This is good news.

That aside, I have fully recovered, and I feel much better now that I devoted an afternoon to meditation.
I'm ready to set off in search of Kurama, even though I'm afraid I'd be out of my depth if I were to confront Karasu. I won't slip away, though. I am a Shinobi, and I owe Kurama a debt of gratitude.

At the moment, everyone seems a little tired or out of sorts. I haven't heard much of Suzuki and Rinku since we came back, but it sounds like Juri is living with them now. Speaking of the woman, is it me or my presence disconcerts her?

For some reason, I have a feeling that Suzuki's angry with me. And Shishiwakamaru is acting oddly, too. He's not being very nice to Juri, in my opinion. I'm not saying I'm the only one who acts normal, though. I have been feeling a little strange in his presence. And my temperature keeps rising when... ah well.

Well, I'm not dead.
...I never thought I'd say that someday.
It feels as though I've slept for an entire week but, strangely enough, I'm still a little tired.

I remember forfeiting my last match, and just... collapsing. That should explain why my back hurts. I'm not complaining though.

I believe everyone is alright. Everyone except Kurama.
Shishiwakamaru told me he saved the women by trading himself to Karasu. That doesn't sound good at all. We've all agreed to go after him once we recover.

It's such a relief to know that everyone is alive.
My minor wounds have been cleaned up, but I don't know how much time I'll need to forget about all this. Those Meikai demons are among the most evil bastards I've ever met.

Oh, I just realized I still have the valentine Juri gave me when I regained consciousness. I forgot to ask her what "valentine" means, though. I will open it now.

Shishiwakamaru...

then Rinku, Suzuki...

and now Jin...

I am to battle Yuusuke now.

I'm sorry... I can't. I won't. Yuusuke will need to be at full strength. Only him and Kurama can...
