Thirteen

Birthday plans…

Hmmm… Haruna’s birthday is coming up. With that in mind, I got a job to try to get her a gift. I’ll prolly take some pictures after some while about it.

But yeah… Haruna’s birthday. I’m completely out of ideas on what she wants.  ;A; And no… I’m not giving her Junpei. (Although if I put Junpei’s head on a platter, the way our Italian counterparts do it… hmmm….)

Any suggestions?

ラブラブ（　＾３＾）～～

手をつないで、いっしょに歩いた。We walked together, holding hands. <3 <3 <3

I think I’ve leveled up a bit. Back then she’d just let me walk behind her. But yeah, I was surprised when she just grabbed my hand and walked around school. Ah–! Was it the hair? Was it my charm? Call me lucky, but I can feel that I’m getting closer snagging Haruna’s heart.

I… was… WHO THE BLOODY HELL DOES JUNPEI THINK HE IS!?!

And here I was pouring my heart over the last post and… I check her blog and I see this photo!?!

What the bloody hell!?! Is she frakking naked behind that sign!?! JUST IN WHAT KIND OF A RELATIONSHIP DOES HARUNA HAVE WITH ‘HUNPIE’!?! And for a moment, she mentioned this Grey person too!?! ゛(｀ヘ´#) Maybe I should accept Seth’s offer of tracking Haruna down. For all I know, those boys could be members of our rival family, the Sakatas!! (;｀O´)o

I absolutely can’t take this. I’ll talk with her tomorrow about this. God! She even had the guts to think whether who’s the uke between me and Junpei!! Must I bring out my guns to scare the shenanigans out of that dork!?! God… she ‘could’ be just testing me. Arrgh. I hate this. ><

UPDATE: The call to arms has been called off by the old man himself. All is safe… for now.

Something in my mail today!

Something came in my mail today. It was a set of photos of Haruna taken over the weekend! It feels like high school all over again, but yeah, I’m keeping this set. Putting it in my scrapbook of Haru-tan. Hehehen. (*^▽^*)　The photos came from Colette and Yotsuba as gratitude for taking care of Yotsuba-chan last week. In all honesty, it’s them whom I have to thank. If it wasn’t for Yotsuba-chan, I wouldn’t have met Haruna in a far more pleasant manner. I did give myself a two weeks notice of sorts just in case I don’t get to meet her. I do know where she lives after all. But I just wanted to give fate a shot before I settle things with my own hands. In all honesty, I’m pretty much of a wreck thinking of scenarios on how to greet her and all that. I don’t think it’s as good as I imagined, but at least it wasn’t as bad as I remembered.

You see, I’ve ran out of luck with Haruna more than once. The first time I confessed to her was a few weeks after I arrived in Japan. I was feeling lonely after my dad’s death, and at that time, I felt that I could only connect with Haruna. She and I are of the same age, and at that time, she was basically the only kid I played with in the compound.

One day, I got depressed because I remembered my dad. I was crying and pouring my heart out to her. And she was nice enough to stay beside me and held my hand through it. Somewhere towards the end, I told Haruna that I liked her and I wanted her to always be by my side. She answered, quite tartly, “Sorry, I don’t like crybabies.” That moment broke my heart to pieces, but hey, I was just 10 back then. How was I to know that Haruna’s a tough chick to please!? But I guess, it all started there. Life became tougher afterwards, but… yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever lost that feeling. Not yet.

Finally… I met her. <3 <3

The truth was, I was shaking when I met her. I was totally caught by surprise. Who knew that Yotsuba-chan’s mom was her… AND HOW THE HELL DID SHE HAVE A KID THAT BIG in… 2 years!?! Oh heck, knowing Yotsuba, she might have called anyone her mom. I mean, she called me her daddy so… I guess it happened that way for Haruna too.

But, Oyabun, she really does look lovely. Just as I remembered when were still in Chiba. In fact, she’s even more beautiful than before. If I can just make that moment with her last a little longer, I would.

Our meeting was heart stopping, a little awkward even. The first thing she noticed was my big head. ;A; I believe, she was rather polite, but only because Yotsuba was there. But I don’t think she was angry either. But god, if I wasn’t holding that little girl at that time, I would have hugged her. I really missed her. 2 years without seeing her was like a lifetime. But yeah, I must control myself.

We parted with me telling her that I have a message for her from the boss. And she agreed to meet me again to talk about it more privately. She didn’t look pleased to hear that news, but at least I know that I’ll be seeing her again. I’ve got to be a little more serious when I tell her the old man’s message. It does concern the company’s future after all.

Nice to see you again, Haruna.

Looking swanky with a suit.

What do you think? I rock, don’t I? Thanks Khursten for the suit!

The girls in Dollie Mixtures is making me blush. I’d probably nosebleed and faint if Haruna ever said something like that! But yeah, I’m happy with their warm welcome.

I forgot to mention that I met Haruna the other day. I’ll be posting about that sometime really soon. Once err… I manage to clear my room since Khursten has a lot of scraps hanging out. *phew* my life gets busier here by the day and I have yet to relay the old man’s message to Haruna. I kinda froze up when I met her last monday. God, she’s pretty.

No longer Prada.

I finally got my haircut! Khursten fainted upon seeing me. Her mom thought that I was a different person. Colette was all starry-eyed. And Haruna? She… still hasn’t seen it. It’s not like she goes to my apartment or anything.

Basically, Khursten and Colette were estatic over the haircut. They love it. They were oggling over my hair as though I was their brand new puppy. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Khursten’s mom was a different story altogether. When I had my blonde hair, she confessed that she thought I was a girl (that’s why she called me Prada). ;A; But thanks to the cut, she’s now convinced that I’m a boy and properly calls me Graham.

See! The hair did the job for me! I feel like I’m the man! I feel more refreshed and less irritated. Hah! I’m now steps away from making Harucchi fall in love with me! That is if I’d finally have the chance to see her. Will she hate my new haircut? Or will she love it? How about you guys? What do you think?

Anyway, I think it’s a cool haircut. The hairdresser fulfilled my wish of getting a grey-colored hair. I’ve been watching Eureka 7 and reading Katekyo Hitman Reborn and I like the color of Gokudera’s and Holland’s hair. I thought I’d have the same hair. Hehehen. I really hope this leaves an impression unto Harucchi when I see her around. <3

Goddamn this weather!

Goro-aniki. Why did I even listen to you!?! (;｀O´)o My hair’s all itchy and everyday it’s a total mess!!

Drat. I have to go to the barber shop soon. But the old man hasn’t sent money yet so until then, I have to bear with this. CURSE YOU GORO!!! WHEN I GET BACK THERE, YOU BETTER HIDE AND YOU BETTER NOT HANG AROUND HASEGAWA’S PACHINKO PARLOR, BECAUSE I WILL GET YOU!!! ><　くそ。。。

Drat. Just in case you guys don’t know, it was Goro who was behind keeping my hair long and all that. I did say that it’s because he thinks it’s cool and it’ll leave a lasting impression on Haru-tan. In fact, my hair was a lot longer when I arrived. I just trimmed some parts because I can’t stand it. But it’s not helping at all. At this rate that my hair is all sticky and itchy everyday… I DON’T THINK I’LL BE LEAVING A GOOD IMPRESSION ON HARU-TAN. ><

I asked Khursten if she knew how to cut hair and she just had this weird smile when she said “I do.” I have this eerie feeling that she’ll make me bald. ><;;

I guess I’ll wait for the old man to send some dough. I still have to get some furniture for my place. All I have is a table and a futon. Oi Aoneko, how do you expect me to do my job if you ain’t sending me some cash. A man’s got live you know.

I’ve finally arrived

親分！(*ﾟ□ﾟ)/ ｵｲｯｽ!!！十三だ！

Sorry for the late report. I only got my net now.

I’ve finally arrived in Manila! I felt strange arriving here in Manila in full regalia, but old man Aoneko refused to let me go if I wasn’t wearing the company’s suit. OTL It was so inconvenient when I arrived in Manila. It was so hot!! And with that long black coat and my hair all a mess because of the temperature! It was so uncool! I don’t want Haru-tan seeing me like that. TAT;; Thank God Khursten arrived alone without Haru-tan. Then again, I don’t think Haru-tan would be quite excited to pick me up either. Considering she might know the reason why I’m here to begin with.

The first week here was a little harsh. Khursten was nice enough to let me stay at her apartment complex. She had a room open, so I took the chance and got it without hesitation. It’s a floor above Haru-tan’s flat. I feel better knowing she’s nearby because I have some strange blokes in our floor. One of my neighbors is a parfait addict. The other’s a sadist. There’s a military otaku too (I can hear him cleaning his glock in the middle of the night) and the other’s an alien invader. They’re all strange, but they’re alright. They remind me of the boys we have in the company. I hope they’re all doing fine.

I tried visiting Haru-tan’s apartment, of course under the notion of being the kind new neighbor. Unfortunately, she wasn’t in the apartment and I was only greeted by Colette, her room mate, and Ayumi-chan. Hey boys, remember Ayumi-chan? Her and Haru-tan looked really cute in high school didn’t they? Too bad they weren’t my classmates, but it was still a delight seeing them together. I heard she’s at Haru-tan’s for vacation. I also saw old man Snake. Hehe. He’s brittle like old man Aoneko.

Well, now’s my second week here. I’m thinking of getting a haircut soon to match the weather here. I don’t want Haru-tan to see my uncool hair. I really shouldn’t have listened to you guys! “If she saw you with your long hair, she’d definitely fall in love with you!” WHO THE HELL THINKS THAT WAY NOWADAYS!?! When I come back to Japan, I’ll beat the hell out of Goro-aniki!

I haven’t seen Haru-tan yet. I should be talking to her soon though. I’ve met almost all of our neighbors (Ms. Yue took pictures, I’ll ask if I can borrow some for the next report!) but I still haven’t seen Haru-tan. I wonder what kind of woman she’s become. Well *cough* I did manage to get a picture of her from Colette. She’s been very nice in giving me details on how Haruna’s been.

ホラ！見て！

God, she’s lovely. You’ve got one lovely granddaughter, old man.
