I sat across from him at the Goban again and placed a black stone down. I was still getting the hang of this but he says I'm really good. Just like i used to be. He asked me to come here and play a game but i know he wants to talk.. I wonder what it's about. He puts his stone down and places one of my groups in atari. I counter. " I can tell you want to talk with me about something.. what is it?" He places another stone down...
I woke up early, but still later than i usually do, today. I kept having such odd dreams, waking up every few minutes in a cold sweat. I can't remember them now though. I hurried and took a shower, dressed in my uniform and grabbed my bag. I skipped breakfast again, it isn't important. I had everything ready but remember to bring my book and magnetic go game, I know that I'll finish my work early. I have afew minutes to spare so I sit and look out the window. Is this normal teenage boy behavior? Dont ask me, I wouldn't know. Riku is still in the tree, that's alittle surprising. How could he sleep all night in a tree without falling out? I wondered. Seeing as it was almost time to go i decided to get going. I walked outside with my bag slung over my shoulder and pretended not to notice Riku.
" You can stay here if you like you know, " I said without looking up, " I'm going to school... But if you break any of my stuff I'll kill you." I was joking about the killing part and he knew it.
Continuing the walk to school was uneventful. I checked for cars before i crossed to school as i always do, I can't help being just alittle cautious now.
Classes were uneventful. The science teacher hates me, i know it. We always end up exchanging borderline unpleasant words. We both have to mind the rules to be respectful though so each remark is carefully laced with bitterness. I don't even know why he hates me. Oh well, i don't particularily care.
As I was going to my locker to get my literature book I noticed Riku. He asked me if I had seen anything strange. " Well.. a boy carying around a sword is rather odd. You might not want to carry that around school." I stated looking pointedly at his blade. He then said something about me getting to class and counted.. the bell rang. I then hurried to get my things and to my seat. Riku wandered off to do.. whatever he was doing i suppose. I sat down and listened to the teacher, then completed the assignment. It was on tanka, sometimes i wonder why the teachers bother.. it's all so elamentary. I finished before class ended and began writing this. I wonder why Riku followed me.. not to be paranoid but it is a bit creepy. No matter, I want to make friends with him and he's giving me the perfect chance. I think I'll talk to him today... I think I'm going to stop writing for now.. I could have sworn a shadow just moved.. I'll atribute it to lack of sleep for now..

What mysteries lay in wait. Sleeping in the shadows? When fear is your only companion, and danger is close at hand... your closest ally is nowhere to be found. Alone in the night.. everything seems to fade away.
