hey akane-san,

the christmas conflict has ended with the defeat of the black dragons. no wonder why that boy is called "the invincible mikey". he flew a single kick and before we knew it, taiju was down. that was very shocking.

but basically our pact with taiju is over and we are free. inupi asked me what i'm gonna do now. he is still idiotic as ever. of course, what else could i do besides sticking with him. without me, that dumbass is helpless.

yesterday, we had a talk about our future plan. inupi is surprisingly interested in hanagaki takemichi and decided that the leader of the next gen black dragons is hanagaki. it seems like his black dragons dream hasn't ended yet, but it has changed. he is not as obsessed as he used to be, maybe thanks to something happening at that christmas night.

he brought up his idea to mikey and was immediately rejected. but it's not like mikey has the rights to decide this you know. it's up to hanagaki.

anyway, the black dragons has joined under toman and we are currently members of the first division. inupi said if he was going to be in toman, he'd rather be with hanagaki. seriously though why does inupi like that kid so much? in my view, he is a little brat who obviously has a screw loose. who is in their right mind to challenge a guy that is not only stronger but three times bigger than themselves? but i guess inupi sees something in him that i don't.

right now, we kinda have a lot of free time in our hands. hanagaki still doesn't trust us much, understandable, so he never calls. fine by me. it has been such a long time since my mind wasn't occupied with money or fighting. that's why in order to make the most of this rare occasion, last sunday, we planned to visit the newly-opened arcade across the town. however, there was a downpour that night and we were stuck in our hideout. so we killed time by dancing to some funk-jazz. it was really fun, we both laughed like crazy. lucky for us there is no one living nearby. imagine you're sleeping and you suddenly hear the sound of music and laughter in the middle of the night. not so pleasing, am i right?

i think these days are the most peaceful and carefree i have ever felt ever since...

i wish time would stand still.
