The Child of Tennis - Yukimura

Mother's finally left. She and Min-Min went down to Kanagawa for two weeks, leaving me free for a while. I left strict instructions with Mother and Min-Min so they should be okay together....I hope. But Minoru was pretty insistent about leaving for a couple of days.

Alas, the tournaments don't align with me, so I can't just fly over to Indian Wells and play. Or even to Miami, because it starts March 26 and ends after Min-Min returns home. This is driving me insane. So I think I might just go play pick-up tennis back at Rikkai High School. Coach for a couple of days or something. It'll be fun to be back in that environment again, And they'll be gearing up for Districts, so I can help out a little.


I'm in some deep shit. Why do crazy stalker fans exist? How did she manage to get that picture of Kura and I kissing, anyway? And my address too! If she releases those, I'll never have a moment of peace again. I've already admitted I'm openly gay and dating someone, but if they find out who....

But I can't just stop dating Kura and start dating her. Life doesn't work like that. I'm still gay and I'm still head over heels for him. And I can't tell my bodyguard or my agent either, because they'll take serious action and she'll release the picture and my address anyway. Keeping in contact with her to try and negotiate is driving me up the bend. Thank god Minoru wanted to leave with Mother. I can stress out by myself. I just want some privacy. Is that too much to ask?

And here I am, talking to myself to sort this out. Wonderful....I really am going insane.

I forgot how disgusting the weather gets in Europe come autumn. The rain is so muggy, and it creates a pile of red-slush on the streets, since the leaves get trampled in with the rain. It's an awful atmosphere, especially mixed in with the smog and the high winds. It's bad enough in Paris and it's supposed to be worse in England,

It also means that we have to play with the roof over the stadium, which means that your stamina has to be higher and it's generally an unfavourable playing condition. Which makes no sense to me. Why play the final of the tennis year in a place which is known for it's bad weather? Couldn't we have played in Fiji or something?

I'm just complaining, because the start of my match has been delayed for twenty minutes while they shut the roof and my warm-up's starting to fade.
