Good Morning!
Saitou: I slept enough so I got up and decide to start my day. After cleaning up I take my borrowed sword and was just…
Sewing Time with Sensei
I knock, hesitantly. When I was younger I often came to Yamaji-sensei’s quarters. She’s one of the few faculty who lives here, but as I…
Tatami Room (Night)
I retired to the tatami room after dinner. When Tsutomu made the mistake of entering the room earlier, I had sent him away. He can…
Securing the Tanto
Saitou:I turned in Okita’s tanto to the preservation evidence section of the TMPD, but hers I kept. Unsheathing her tanto I watch the blade. Always…
An Old Face
That was him, I remember him, and that tall friend of his… not that they talked to me, back then. I keep my head down,…
Looking in the Morning
He’s gone – early riser. I make breakfast for the family. Everyone is still subdued. I am… tired. The library isn’t a place to sleep,…
Evidence (Morning)
So much for a respite. I thought, I’d finally be able to go to sleep last night. But it was another rough night, just like…
Library
I dream… I fight it but I dream. It’s the library. Even during my Judgement it was a sunny place. But now, it’s a dark,…
Evening
A quiet dinner. Most of us, too tired, or worn down by the day. Even Ai-chan is fussy. Soon enough, though, I’ll have her weaned.…
Messages
Eiji:I look at the time. Most of the patients have left already and I’m getting antsy. Maybe something happened? I go inside the clinic where…
Morning Outing
I wake up in bed, and he’s gone, of course. I help Yukiko-san with the children, getting them fed and them out of the door,…
Tatami Room
Saitou: It’s not too late when I got home and although it was a little tense at dinner, we got through it. It was a…
Visiting the Yamaguchi House
Shindou: As soon as Miyagawa-san left I go ahead to my intended destination. Curiously there is another bystander standing on the opposite side of the…
Neighborhood Watch (Later Afternoon)
(Okita) That dojo where the Battosai lives is a quiet place. Not well-secured at all. Is he that confident in his skills that he’d live…
Comfort Woman
Aioi: “Yo.” He stands by the door and tips his hat with that idiotic grin of his. It’s been a few days since he’s shown…
Making Lunch
I go with Yukiko-san to give Ai-chan a quick nursing – not just because she may hungry but also to soothe her a bit. “Do…
Meanwhile…. Mama-sama Waits
What a pokey little place… but it’s better than jail, and right now my efforts in Osaka will go better if I’m -not- there. The…
The First Visit (Mid-morning)
Saitou: We take a carriage to the house. “I knew you’d come around.” He tells me as we get off the carriage. “Good sir. Just…
Afternoon-Evening-Night
“So let me get this straight, you want surveillance and protection at this address 24/7?” Kawaji gives me a stern look. He knows it’s the…
The Chase
Why am I running after him? Because… he’s upset. I saw just enough of his face. And I can’t let him go. Something happened and…
Delivery
“Ah, can’t you get him to come out here? I have a delivery for Fujita-san…” I lower my voice to the clerk. “It’s a medicinal…
At Futaba
“School will be out shortly,” protests the clerk in the front office. I had hoped to avoid Takimi-san and apparently he’s out this week. “Can’t…
Her Best Hope (Wednesday AM)
Kaoru: I saw it best to make this visit alone. I had to stop myself from hovering around Kenji worried for his safety but I…
A Little Light (Tues Night)
I kept a secret! When hahaue was stolen and chichiue was going to find her, I did go in the secret cabinet to get the…
Ghosts (Tuesday Night)
Okita Souji… alive and well, it sounds like. Well enough to take Kenji-kun out for a “treat”, as my son described it. I remember the…
An Extraordinary Man
Touché. So he managed to get a letter out to Howard but two can play that game. “Look sharp!” I bark at the mail carrier.…
Old Chocolate (Tuesday After School)
I wait by the stand of trees, where I can see the main gate. There’s a time, where the guards change, and that rotten one…
Aide-memoire
I came home late again eventhough I told them I’d be home in time for dinner, but the Umeshu that I ordered had come later…
Rain on a Tuesday
Tuesday – After the Appointment Feeling bad about skipping out on therapy yesterday, I instead went today after Yukiko-san returned from taking Makoto-chan and Tsutomu-kun…
So a Letter Arrived
“He makes his own hours,” the young officer shrugs. “Are you sure you only want to see Fujita-san?” “This one can wait,” I say, with…
Futaba Hallways
Tsutomu: I heard she didn’t get in trouble for breaking curfew. That’s good. But I haven’t been able to talk to her in what feels…
Monday: Ready for a Guest
I tell myself it’s work. And then I worry about -that-. He usually lets me know these days…. but police emergencies don’t happen on schedule.…
A Quiet Sunday Night
I was allowed to cook today. Just the rice! But it was something. I felt clumsy and I’m glad that I didn’t ask to do…
Detours
I spent the afternoon pouring over some paper work. I buried myself in it so much today that I was able to finish a chapter…
I wasn’t done…
I’m sorry that you couldn’t wait on me. *sigh* But I know you don’t like to be stuck – I remember that from a long…
Morning with a Baby
I woke up early that morning and left Hide’s side as the sun was barely peeking through the window. Getting a fresh shirt on, I…
A Japanese Sword
I always watched my father. After all, until Tamesaburou, I was… his heir. Not acknowledged, because they hoped otherwise, for that great gift – a…
