It seems like the tournament has finally started. I wish luck for those who are in it. Job is okay nowadays, I'm working hard. Although I spaced out a little yesterday and almost tripped on my kimono while serving. It would be so embarrassing if I did.

I think I understand why I'm wearing this uniform now.  Thankfully, I also remember something about my family.  I have a brother, Shizuki-niisan, and a father and a mother.  I don't really look like the mother for some reason though, but I definitely look more like my father.  My brother is nice though strict (at least that's the impression I got from the emails he sent me).  He said he would get me out of there and take me back to America.

America...? I don't know where it is, but I heard it's a pretty popular place.  So does that mean I used to live there?  So my parents are in America right now.  <small>I hope they're well and I hope they won't worry about me as much</small>.

Why would Shizuki-niisan want to take me back? I must've done something wrong.

For some reason, my memories about my family and why I'm wearing the school uniform don't connect at all.  Because in my memory, people talk in Japanese, I could definitely tell since I understood them.  The weird fact was that they were all guys!  Was I in an all-boys high school? Oh my God. If that was the case, no wonder brother wanted me back at once.  But my friends there are really nice (it's a mystery how they didn't know I was a girl, haha) and a little weird too;  Nakatsu bleached his hair, something about he's on the soccer team.  He was rambling to me about how he wanted to be on the Japan team.  There's something else though, I just know I didn't want to go back with brother. Not at all! I was very determined to stay there.

[[ Memory: 3% ]]

The Christmas party was really fun, I brought back a piece of cake for you, Sephiria-san. I left it on your desk that night (I did come back pretty late after all).

I met a new person, someone who seems very energetic. Too bad I didn't get his name though. He said he's in the tournament (not that I know anything about fighting, but it was nice to know). And oh, he said he's heard of you, Sephiria-san.

[[private; hackable for those who try.]]

Even though the party was fun, for some reason I get a really uneasy feeling. I think it was a lonely feeling. I'm still not sure though. Being with people on such festive day makes me wonder about my friends and family from the world I came from. I sincerely hope they are alright... or maybe by chance I can go back and visit them. Maybe I'll have all of my memories back if I go back.

I miss my family, wish to have some memories about them right now. It'd be comforting...

It's getting colder and colder, I need to get some extra clothes and get ready to go back for work tomorrow. The onsen should be pretty busy around this time.

I'm SO glad my cold is getting better now.  And I don't have the fever Rosette was talking about either!  I suppose I'm really lucky seeing how there's a party going on later. It's for Christmas.  Even though I don't know what it is, it really sounds fun and maybe I should go check it out. There are cakes right? Yum.

Hm... Should I go with someone though?

Maybe I should get ready at this time.  ^_^

This is weird. I haven't been to anywhere. Not even work, I swear! with the snow and all, I don't think the shuttle is working.   *sniffs* So yeah... caught a cold.

But... *grabs a piece of tissue paper and sneezes into it* I'm not even sneezing... and this is... *sniffs* bothering me!

....

I wanna go play with the snow too. *sniffs and sneezes finally* At least I'm sneezing now. Isn't it a sign of showing getting better?

-__-

I finally can have some time to relax. The work at the onsen is hectic (and I think I messed up at one point too... almost slipped into the bath once.) but everyone there is interesting.  Some customers are very nice... some are, just... I don't know, weird.  But then again, they came from different worlds, so I can't really just say that.

I think I like the job at the ryokan better, it's easier and more relaxing.  Plus, I actually get to converse with the customers at the same time.  I guess I'm the talkative type huh?

Anyhow, that is not the reason why I want to write in the journal this time. I think I remembered something.

Something I certainly want to and don't want to remember at the same time. (I know, it's confusing, *chuckles*)

So I was running to catch my ferry tonight, and I almost couldn't catch it! But thankfully! I found out I can run pretty fast! ^_^  Although while running, a clip sort of thing popped up in front of my eyes...

I was running, almost out of breath kind of running...you know, desperately. Bunch of people were chasing me, some even with sticks and dressed up in white!! Those guys look SCARY. I mean, really really scary! It's not just those white-clothed guys, there were other normal looking people chasing me too!  They were yelling "Ashiya.. " I suppose that is my name. My other name. Or... what do you call it? Last name. But... man, I know I was afraid of them catching up to me.

Maybe it's just my eyes, but I think I was wearing the same clothes as I first came here.

Either way, getting chased by people is not good.

....And they were bunch of guys too.... I think.  It was too short and I couldn't see well since I was running to catch my ride. 

It's been two days since I came here.  Everything is fine, I suppose - except I still haven't remembered anything yet.  I hope I will soon 'cause without knowing who you are is really a pain.

Onto the bright note. I applied to be a host kinda job at the Onsen.  I don't think that job will suit me, it pays well though. Maybe I just don't know yet. But yeah... I got an answer back from them and they accepted me! So yay! I'm really glad! I s'pose I'll have to go to work soon! I hope I won't screw it up the first time...

Um... oh yeah.  I met a lot of new people! They all seem very nice.. except for one who's kinda kinda weird. Celice-san is very kind and I was relieved to hear that everyone lost their memories (so it's not strange for me). Naruto-kun is a funny kid. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make everybody happy all the time. Which reminds me, I need to pay a visit to Mokona.  Thank you both for welcoming me. It really helped for me to fit in better.  Oh! I also met Himawari, she's polite. I don't know much about her but she seems nice.  Ike-san got hurt though, but thanks to the healer, he got better. I'm relieved.  There this one guy, he's kinda weird.  Why would he "fix" his dog for peeing? I don't get it.  I'd say it's his fault for letting his pet pee all over. But it's not really my business, is it?

I haven't met my roommate yet.  I hope I can get along with her.  Hmm.. what kind of person is she?

The clothes I'm wearing... they look weird.  The tie and the pants... and the flowery emblem. I wonder why I was wearing them in the first place.  They look like guys' clothing.  And the hair, I want to grow it out.

This morning (or I think so, since I don't have a watch and there isn't a clock anywhere in this room) when I woke up, I really don't know where I am. This place, wherever I am right now, looks so...so unfamiliar. My head just doesn't click with anything in this room, and the people... my God (excuse me for this), I don't even know who they are!

I'm sure I don't live here, I mean, if I do, I would know them and they would know me, right? But...but.... just what is going on? Now that I think about it, I can't remember anything from yesterday, or the day before yesterday! Or... even the date of today! Where do I live? Why do people look at me so weirdly now? Is there something on my face? Ever since I sat here in the lobby in a ... sort of school uniform I can't remember where I got. Crap with the emblem that doesn't say anything!

Ugh! My head is starting to hurt. I'm confused, I really am. And I know it sounds ridiculous by saying this, but I think I lost my memory. I mean, I mean... I should know my parents' names right? But I don't! Perhaps I'm an orphan! That would explain it. No! That's not right.

Where am I? Anyone knows what's going on? Just where am I?!

Mizuki... I know my name... That's right! Mizuki! That's my name! I really hope this is just a dream I'm about to wake up. At least I know my name. But, what's my last name? I don't know. Am I Japanese? Mizuki sounds like one. Maybe I should look for someone who might know about something that I need to know.

Or...I should just stop thinking about and just wait until I wake up. I hope I'm dreaming.
