All I can say is wow. I have not written a journal in almost a full year. That's just.... wow. O_o, scary!
My life has been pretty busy, so i GUESS its an excuse.
To update, I'm in eighth grade now, and my teachers rock! We've just selected our highschool courses.
I'm taking Geometery (XP), Honors English (okay i guess), Honors Biology (I'm scared...), Spanish 2 (I hope I don't fail), PE 9 (we have to run a track that's probably about half a mile long FOUR times.... *dies* as a WARM up!), Health (STD's and junk, which I already know more about then I really want to), and then 2 electives. All I can hope is that I don't fail miserably with my horrible study habits.
Oh! And, I GOT A 4.0!! My goal has been realized at last! WOO!!
And apparently, even though I get like an hour of sleep every night, I am like an angel in class (when ironically I am really b*tchy at home in the morning (especially in the morning) and at night).
Oh, and I took an SAT earlier today.
I want to hurt someone or something.
I
had
to
get
up
at
FIVE IN THE MORNING!
I already hate getting up at 7, I do NOT enjoy getting up at 5, ESPECIALLY ON A FREAKING SATURDAY!!!!!!!!
*deep breath and lets out* I think I failed it. I sadly didn't finish my essay (which was horrible, T^T), and I guessed and skipped a bunch of questions, especially in the math, but what can you expect, I'm in eighth grade, taking algebra, and there's Geometery and Trigometery on there! Like I'M going to know that!
Well, i know I did better then my brother on the reading and writing parts, tehehehe, cause he sucks at that, and he complained about it all the way home (35 minute drive).
Anyway, like my previous journal said, I DID got to DC with my brother! And, may I say, it was AWESOME!
I went there during the fourth of july and got AWESOME pics! I lounged and played videogames (chris loves them). Alas, I sucked, but hey, ricky plays them all the time at his friends house and chris owns them. I don't think any of my friends own a game system outside a gameboy.
Other things.... Oh!
I have discovered I create awesome characters. And I am so very mean to them!
My favorite?
Hikui Kunou (yes, Japanese names cause I can make meanings behind them).
Kunou for example means suffering, agony, stuff like that.
Hikui means low, humble, some other thing I can't remember.
Now, these may not be accurate, but I love them anyway.
Hikui Kunou is emo (sorta). I apparently have an obsession for angsty people, such as Kakashi, Naruto, Zuko, etc. And what's more, in the beginning, Kunou is a complete asshole. But, he has his reasons!

And FYI, I have never expierenced any type of abuse in my life (accept bullying from my brother, but that doesn't really count) and I am only 14, so when you expect someone who has experienced stuff like below and is much older... Don't, cause as I said, I'm only 14 and have never actually experienced any of what I write...
...I get this from TV. Yes, the legendary tube that has defiled all our little child minds with all kinds of content, where I get my evil ideas. And, FYI, some stuff I have taken directly from TV, others I have come up with my own from inspiration.
I have gotten inspiration from those little orphan commercials. Don't ask how I get them, they just come. Seriously. I'm watching TV, and pondering, and an idea comes. Usually very sadistic and cruel. And usually when I do those inkblot tests is much more... kind stuff, so idk where the HELL this stuff comes from. Just a note so I don't scare you poor people with my sadistic and evil writing,

He's got emerald/lime green eyes, slightly pale skin, and midnight black hair. It's pretty long and rather icky looking, as he never cuts it unless it gets in his way and he only washes it with the same soap he washes the rest of himself with (he steals that soap from his uncle/guardian). He's also got loads of scars all over his body, but the cool/kinda creepy scars are on his face; they're like whiskers, which is one reason he gets the nickname 'Kuroneko-sama', or basically Black Cat-sama (sama is an honorific add, like -san or -kun or -chan. It's the most polite and honorable one if I have heard correctly).
In the beginning he's 14 but towards the middle he turns 15. I'd say I imagine him around 5'8, my brother's height. He's got a medium sized frame (just under 'large'), and is in pretty good shape, as he doesn't exactly have access to junk food. In fact, the only good food he eats he forces nerds from (they either buy it for him or he takes it from them when they have it) [[everything is explained]]. He's pretty cute, but rather scruffy. Anyway...
Let's start from the beginning, shall we?
Kunou was born between Takahashi Daiki and Hikui Kiku (after they married, so Kiku would then be Takahashi Kiku). He has an older sister, named Fuka, and an adopted uncle on his mom's side, Hiroki. To make is easier to follow, Hiroki was adopted by the Hikui's (so he's Hikui Hiroki) so he is not blood-related to Kunou. However, the Hikui family was very kind, so Hiroki and Kiku were very close, and Hiroki spoiled and loved her. A lot. Daiki and Hiroki were best friends and both teased Kiku a lot. (Kiku is 5 years younger then Hiroki and Daiki, FYI) Daiki and Kiku got older, fell in love, yadda yadda. They were like, completely smitten with eachother. Anyway, they had Fuka first when Kiku was 20 and Daiki was 25. Life went well for the both of them, and they were like, the perfect family. Love, love, love! (Or, Suki, Suki, Suki in japanese!) When Fuka was almost 13, Kiku became pregnant with the Takahashi's second child (Kunou). Everyone was extremely excited.
But, being the evil and sadistic person I am, Kiku's parents die in a plane crash when she was about 5 months pregnant, and the shock made her become weak. She no longer was the bright little firefly of energy she used to be, and Daiki worried over her.
December 22 came, and her water broke. She was rushed to the hospital by a neighbor, as the others (Hiroki, Fuka, Daiki) had been away at the time. By the time they arrived, she was already half way through birth, and they thought it best she not get distracted, as she was having all kinds of problems.
The sadisticness kicking in again, she dies, her last push bringing Kunou into the world and being her very last breath. She fell back and was dead. And, just as Kunou took his first breath, half the hospital blew up (I am so insanely mean, aren't i?). See, there had been a gas leak, and just at the moment Kunou breathed in, someone made a spark (someone lighting a smoke, my way of saying don't smoke you dumb S.O.B's!). So yeah. Lots of rubble had resulted and hundreds of thousands were injured. Most died because, well, the hospital had been the building to blow up, and they would ahve been fine otherwise, but no one recived the attention they needed in time, so they died from their injuries.
It was a tragic day.
Daiki, Hiroki, and Kiku were basically shocked. Daiki was handed his baby boy, but paid him no mind. Hiroki and Fuka took him, attempting to calm his wails. Daiki broke down (call it broken heart syndrome if you will), and was perscribed anti-depressents (which failed). As the time passed, the Takahashi and Hikui family (basically Daiki, Fuka, Hiroki, and a still unnamed Kunou) were having problems as Kiku was dead, the insurance company failing to pay as her sort of death was not covered, and Daiki was fired because he wasn't doing his work. Fuka wasn't old enough to work and Hiroki's company was having troubles in the market.
One week after Kunou's birth day, December 29, Daiki commited suicide. He blamed his son for everything: Kiku's death, the family's money problems, etc. He said Kunou was a bad-luck bringing, murdering demon who didn't deserve the rights of a human being.
And he jumped off the roof of his 38 floored apartment building, which they had been evicted from.
Ah, but see, the doctor and 2 nurses who had birthed Kunou had died christmas eve (nurses) and christmas day (doctor). Daiki blamed him for that too. (I can tell what some of you are thinking: YOU wrote THIS?! Yeees, this tragic story is written by moi, all ideas coming from various places (mostly TV (CSI gives me graphics, 8D)))
Continuing, at first Hiroki and Fuka didn't believe him, but as their lives worsened, they eventually did. Hiroki became an alcoholic, Fuka turned to pretty much everything (drugs, alcohol, etc.).
To lay it out, Kunou was treated normally when he was a baby to a toddler, and was a pretty smart kid too (he could use the big seat when he was 18 months old! 8D (and it is possible, my sister could do it at that age)). When he was about two and a half, Hiroki and Fuka began avoiding him, and he seeked out attention. He managed to find some kindly neighbors to keep him and themselves busy (and ancient japanese woman, a middle-aged japanese woman, and a young japanese woman).
When Kunou was about four and a half, already having the vocabulary of a six to seven year old, Fuka had been drunk and in a rage, as her newest boyfriend had cheated on her (though she had cheated on him), and Kunou had come in asking her if she was alright. She slapped him with her claw like nails, tearing deeply into his cheek, and this scared the hell out of him, and he ran away from her, holding his heavily bleeding cheek (deep for a normal cut, but not enough for stitches), and that's where he got his 'whisker scars' (the other cheek gets slapped another time). That marked the beginning of his physical abuse. Now, since they didn't really believe he was a demon yet (though they were leaning toward it), they only gave him a good slap or whack if he angered them.
Sadly, Kunou's eyes were almost identical to his mothers, so his uncle and sister hated it when he met their eyes, and told him so (Hiroki was drunk at the time), so Kunou let his bangs grow out and didn't meet them in the eye. When he was 8, they fully believed him a demon, and treated him like so. Vicious beatings as well as mental abuse (basically, they scream at him that he's a demon). He believes them, because he knows no different. And, he begins to act like one at school, causing absolute misery for those around him with his bad luck 'spell' (another reason his nickname is Kuroneko-sama, you know, the superstition about the black cat? Yeah, that's how it is). The interesting thing is that he himself is VERY lucky; like... you put him in a poker game, everyone else will get crap, he gets a flush, and has gotten a royal flush a record twice in his life.
So, his life is crappy. But, since he grew up seeing his sister and uncle suffer from drugs, drinking, and smoking (fuka does that), he knew is was almost *cough* suicidal *cough* to do it, so he avoided them, and if either his sister or uncle was doing one of the three, he'd leave the house. No matter the weather.
Now, if you'd look at his medical record, he's been put in for multiple injuries, varying from minor cuts and bruises to severe concusions. He's also had pnemonia and other crap like that hundreds of times since he was born til he was fourteen. Yep... he's had all KINDS of crap, so he's wary, like the little lovable smarty-pants he is! *huggles plushie*
Anyway, when he was 13, the school assigned him to a counsler, Honda Rika. She was 25, so she was fairly new; however, she was good at what she did, as she studied under a well-known psychology expert and soon to be retired therapist, Junsei Shunya (IMPORTANT PERSON!!).

To summerize, Rika was the only one who saw Kunou as a person (like... truly a HUMAN, not just a bully, not just a juvenile, not just a mean asshole, but a human who has seen lots of abuse (after she got him to talk, she was horrified and wanted to report Fuka and Hiroki, but Kunou told her not too, as he understood why they did it, and that he deserved it for being like he is (this is one of his totally awesome moments that make me want to baby him!))). Rika and him became best friends, and though they fought a lot, he trusted her with everything, and she trusted him with everything.
Rika dies. She had already been diagnoised with ovarian cancer, and wasn't expected to live another year, but she got into a painful accident and the only thing keeping her alive was life support. See, she never told Kunou about her cancer, and she had developed it around the time they had their first counsling meeting. And see, Kunou has a tendency to blame himself with something goes wrong (as his family has been blaming him for everything since he was about 6-8), and Rika knows this, so she kept it from him. Well, Kunou finds out, and he's really upset, with both her and himself. He visits her in the hospital, and I will not go further than that, as then I would ruin the story.
All I can say is expect angst. Lots of angst.
And drama.
And tragedy.
Lots of stuff. : )
Oh... don't expect it for a while, I've decided to not post it til I've written it out, otherwise you'd get a chapter every year and a half.
Sorry to leave you hanging, but I'm sure you angst lovers will enjoy it! I know I do, mwahaha!
