Les soeurs....

[tennis_no_ko]

Paris Masters starts tomorrow...and I really should be asleep, but my sister called me and I now I can't really sleep because I'm worried. More and more nowadays, her voice has been sounding weird and she never used to call me voluntarily...now it's a lot more frequent.

Not that I'm complaining, I love actually getting a chance to talk to Minoru...but it's strange. Especially when she sounds sadder and sadder everyday. And she's about as open with things as a clam, so I can't pry them out of her over the phone.

...I just want everybody to be content with life, even if they aren't always euphoric. Is that too much to ask?

Get some sleep. I don't I want to hear any excuses for why I beat you other than I'm obviously better than you.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

The only reason you'd be able to beat me is because I'm off my form, Echizen. You should be rejoicing.

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Hardly. It's the other way around. And I don't accept "I was tired" as an excuse for poor performance.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Please, I've gone enough sleepless nights in the past few years that it doesn't matter. Don't worry about my performance. Worry about yours. Your absence for the past few months might hinder you.

Like I'd ever let a break stop me. But that's what I get for actually caring about an opponent. See if I ever do that again.

...Sorry. I'm snappy today. Ignore me. Maybe you're right about that sleep. See you tomorrow at the opening ceremony, Echizen.

[madamadapro.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm right. And yeah. See you tomorrow. And again in the final match.

I'm sorry Yukimura-kun, if I knew your sister I would try to talk to her and make sure everything was okay.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Ahh, thanks Tachibana-chan. But yes, seeing as she lives in Kyoto currently, it would be difficult for you to be familiar with her ^^;

You should get some rest.

Perhaps you might schedule some time to visit your sister and talk to her face to face?

Have a good tournament.

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I got five hours in. More than enough. And thank you for your wishes, Tezuka~

Mmmm, I've been trying for a while, but she's so reluctant to arrange anything with me. Maybe she'll be more open about it over the tournament break....

[lepeintredusade.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I would be suspicious too. I wonder what her reasons are...

I'm sure she just wants to hear her big brothers voice~

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

I hope it's just something that innocent :) But I worry about her.

[lepeintredusade.livejournal.com]

It's understandable to worry about family. Maybe when you have the time you should go and see her in person, alleviate your fears?

[tennis-no-ko.livejournal.com]

Yeah, once I'm back in Japan, I'll probably make a stop at Kyoto to see her. See if she's okay.
