That picture's so CUTE! :wub:  Reina being saved by by Eri, even though Eri had already passed away...very nicely done. :thumbsup

By the way, if you were trying to hide that little bit at the bottom of your post, you need to also change the colour of the text to match the background since the default colour of the text changes depending on the theme a person has. I've got a dark theme, and so the text's default colour is white, which makes it stick out and readable even though you put the background colour as black.

^...Is it confusing? @_@ Gaki-san saved Reina, who mistook her for Eri because she (Reina) was about to pass out and couldn't see properly. Although in a way, Eri did save Reina...mentally. ^^

Ack, really? I'll go change the font color now then. *rushes to edit*

What's with the new generation of writers killing off members for their first stories O_O;  There should be some kind of ban on that XD 

okay...okay, kidding aside I really enjoyed your story.  It was well written so I look forward to your future work.

...My excuse is that I can only write sad stories :sweatdrop: My happy ones are too cheesy...I think.

Quote
Why is everyone killing Eri lately!?
arghhhhh

I have a theory why! Well I think I do, since in one of my stories Eri died .__.
Basically, Eri is friends with nearly all of the members, right? So that means that ther's probably going to be more pairings. Therefore if you killed her it would create a lot of depression within the pairings which makes a good story...?
.__. I couldn't really explain the last part right  :sweatdrop: But along those lines.

Btw, is it weird that I sort of get deja vu when I read your story? When I read it, it makes me think of a mix of two of my stories: Her Final Wish and The Final Countdown. The beginning being The Final Countdown and the ending part Her Final Wish.
I have decided to not kill you .__. Since you write so well, all is forgiven :P

Actually, I'm considering writing a Niigaki POV to this...

AAAAAH. THE HELLO KITTY. IT BUUUUUUURRNSSSS. XD My excuse...I dunno, I'm better at writing sad stories I suppose. I'll try to make some happy for you...If the thoughts of happy stories manage to pop in my head.

...Actually, I never thought that part out. *hides in a box* I just figured, "Let's not make Eri's death painful. Okay, terminal illness it is." :P

...Now that you mention it, the stories really ARE similar. .____.;; Oh my. ('Cept Gaki-san and Reina didn't actually fall off the cliff. XD) That's kinda creepy. I dunno, when I imagine a character ready to die, it's at a cliff. ^^; Then it became, "How the hell would Eri leave a last message to Reina? ...Letter. No too simple. Letter...locked in drawer? GIVE GAKI-SAN THE KEY. HA. IDEA!! XD Which then led to, "Let's put a photo there just to make it a little more sad. Or dramatic. Both. Then we leave the ending completely open so everyone can imagine. YAY! *done* XD

I kinda wrote this fic because I really wanted TanaKame, but I wanted GakiKame at the same time. xD (I'm quite honestly a GakiKame fan now. It has surpassed my love for TanaKamei. V_V) And sadly, what I ended up with was Kamei's death. *shakes head* Thank you everyone for reading. Like I said earlier...for those who want some GakiKame (albiet sad) like myself...I plan on writing Risa's POV of this story. (Yes, there's a flashback...and maybe I'll figure out just what Kamei is sick with. I never thought that far. ._.;; ) I've also got another fic underway already at the moment. Only thing preventing me from writing is school work that I procrastinated on. When I get it all done, I'll be sure to start writing again. Thanks again. *bows*

PLEASE LET MINE BE THE FIRST REPLY PLEASE!!!

EDIT:

Oh yay I got it!! :on woohoo: Tee hee, I'm childish like that XD

K, I gotta take a leaf out of Sukoshi's book and readjust/ rearrange my thoughts. Now I can't really think and type right. There were so many typos I had to keep going back to retype my words.

* does deep breathing*

I can't freaking believe what you just did, you made me cry then smile then wail and finally you made my already aching tummy hurt even more by the horrible twisting of the gut. Exactly what Gaki felt in your story. And guess what, the many changes of expression on my face was in full view for people who know me, not well but yeah who know me, to SEE~!! :on cloudeye: Gawd, I must be known as the psycho who grimances and cries in front of the computer now :banghead:

I still can't believe you actually wrote Eri dying when she was with Risa but THANK YOU! Gosh it was so beautiful... :on speedy: Now I need to go hide in a cubicle in the washroom so I can bawl my eyes out :mon waterworks:

[bgcolor=#000000]@Everyone Just to clarify, Eri knew long before that she was sick. She also knew how Risa felt...just didn't say anything about it. So then Eri told Risa, as you guys well know. And...Poor Eri had no idea she barely made it in time (to tell Risa). T_T I didn't really wanna do it again, but it just kinda...fit.[/bgcolor]

Comment reply time!~ I didn't think I'd get many, but I got some...yay! :)

@lil_hamz Aww...I'm sorry. D: I guess I did my job though. I think you'll like this the final part of Answers. :) *hands you another tissue for now*(I'm waiting for Part Two of So Much... xD You've got me hooked on that already.)

@ringo-hime Yes, it would be creepy...but considering they were just talking about it the other night, at least Risa knows what happened. V_V *hands you a tissue*

@Sukoshi ...NO MORE HELLO KITTY. o-o xD I think you'll be a bit more of a happy-sad-happy camper after this. Or at least...I hope.

@strawb3rrykream You too? *hands you a tissue as well* Thank you!

Wow...I didn't think I'd actually make some of you cry. xD I stopped writing months ago, so I figured I was a bit rusty. I guess not. o-o Well here's a treat for all of you...THE FINAL PART! :) I've had it written before I finished Niigaki's POV, but I had to get her's up first, so...yeah. I wanted a day or so in between my posts.

Without further adieu...Enjoy. :D

P.S. What is this about Sukoshi's leaves? *doesn't get it* ^^;

P.S. What is this about Sukoshi's leaves? *doesn't get it* ^^;

ah the leaves come from this bush I've been residing in...It's next to this corner where all of hammy's adorable fans gather for a good cry and the occasional hug....XD  Okay I'll stop with my funny talk before you're the one throwing things at me.  But anyways hammy was talking about the expression "taking a leaf out of x's book".  It just means following someone's example.  but then again you might already know the meaning of that...it was probably my follow up comment that got you confused...but that's just me being me XD

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....as for the epilogue....I don't know what to think of it to be honest.  Reina replying with "never been better"...that just seems so wrong XD  but I know you just wanted things to end on a bright note so I'll just leave it at that XD

I…think I get it. xD Well either way… Yeah, I kinda agree with you. I had this epilogue written before I wrote Niigaki’s POV, so it does feel a bit misplaced. But I wrote it and figured I might as well not let it go to waste. :P And Reina…well, at least she’s got her peace of mind now, right? :P Well, the Answers series is complete. Time to move onto a new one-shot... *suddenly gets smacked by flying calculus book* :dizzy:

My next post (after this) here will be my next oneshot/drabble. I'm already thinking of it. xD But I thought I'd reply to a couple comments.

@JFC - Does this mean I did good? *hands you a tissue box as well* I'm gonna run out soon... (Feel free to offer me critique... *personally believes she needs to improve her writing*)

@meowz
- Unfortunately Eri had no idea it was gonna be her last day. T_T Otherwise it woulda been Reina...

@shadowolf8
- Thank you. :)

@KonaKaga
- Hehehe...thanks. :) I'll write a full blown GakiKame for you - *smacked in the face by a flying AP Chemistry book* Damn, these books! ...Well, when I have time anyway... *ashamedly turns to desk and opens up book*

So...I suppose I'll drop a hint 'bout the next one? Well, not really a hint. As to be expected, Eri's part of the fic...again. (I love Kamei too much, and she has too much love for other members!) Although it's not a one-shot fic-ish pairing you'd see around normally... :glasses: (Though I'm not sure if it will be as good...My writing level tends to shoot up during a more...mellow/sad fic. o-o)

I liked the mini epilogue as it provided some closure. I'm still sad that Eri had to die, even sader that she didn't love Risa back but I take heart in the fact that you'll have a new fic soon :)

No, Eri came back. Miki said Risa was "missing out on it". "It" being Eri's butt. I'd like to say that Gaki-san greatly disagrees... (Hence the last lines of the story... *snicker*)

@ringo-hime Miki only knows a little bit. :lol:

@shôkokame I'm sorry, I think that's gonna stay the way it is. D: Just a random one-shot.

@JFC I feel accomplished. Thanks~ <3

@kream Okay, I'm sorry. I got lazy (already) at your name. Is it okay if I just call you by that? Glad to see that I can come up with just a bit of humor - I'm normally very bad at that.

@hammy As said above, I got lazy. XD But yes, Gaki-san shall do what she must for her turtle! And turtle's don't like their shells being invaded. (Sorry, my random/somewhat humorous fics don't seem to last as long...)

Woo all done. Now for some personal comments. :) This next story I wrote was kinda on a whim. Sorry I disappeared for a while as well. I was supposed to update yesterday as a birthday present to myself/you guys, but I got lazy. D: Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy. My very first time writing this pairing...

Oh, and I forgot to say, I've got a new layout for my thread. (Not to mention a new name.) I figured that I suck at writing chapter fics and staying updated, but I can live with writing a series of oneshot-ish things. (If that makes any sense.) I like oneshots, but in the end, mine somehow end up with multiple views or something along the lines...lol. So a new set up has come 'round. Oh, and the name change is a reference to how much Eri there will probably be in my fics... Things just seem to center around her for me. :/ Of course...I'm not saying there won't be anything else. *cough this fic cough*

Enjoy the fic guys. If you like it, I may make another view for it. (Surprise, surprise, right? :roll:) Make sure to let me know if you want it. (Then again, if the words come to me, you'll end up getting another version anyway. xD) Sorry if there are any errors! [It's kinda like a double release?]

TakaGaki are so cute together... :heart:

The bathroom part was way too funny :P

Quote
– the door opened.

“AAAAAAAHH!!”

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” Risa screamed even louder, attempting to cover herself up. She fell back into the water in the process of doing so. What the hell?!

“Oh hey, Gaki-san. You scared me.”

“Scared YOU?! Who’s the one in the bath right now!?”


 XD XD XD

Kame and the Yankii princess are good matchmakers...always a direct approach  :ding:

Nice story :mon geek:

Awesome!!! Tanakame is like genius!!!! :lol: For a second though, I thought that Eri locked Gaki outside with no clothes on!!!! :rofl: Until I went back and read that she clothed herself before leaving the bathroom. :lol: I love how Gakikame both started screaming when Eri barged it. :rofl: Personally, I don't think I'd be so thrilled myself if my friend walked in on me bathing. :lol: You are pretty good at humor, you know?
And kream is just fine, btw. :heart:

I like the way she pops out of nowhere..quirky!  XD

[3.2] Relief

“You say that now, but it works.” Eri rolled over and shook her finger at Risa. “Whoa, déjà vu. Anyway, you’re wrong. I do know what it’s like.”

Risa paused again, frowning at Eri. The girl’s suggestion had worked the first time… but would it work again? She gave Eri a look of uncertainty and –

…Wait, what did Kame just say?

“Kame, what do you mean you kno–”

This just leaves me wondering... :hehehe:

I'm liking all your stories so far, keep 'em coming  XD

Guess what, guess what?! I've got a whole week off!! *prances around happily* Although I have homework, I'll also have more time to write! Anyway, comment reply time...

@katatsumuri Thank you! :)
@JFC Indeed it did. Go Eri! :muffin:
@Yankii Heart I'm glad you liked it. ^^ You'll find out more...later...
@hammy Aww... *hugs back* Thank you.  And I'll try to stay as updated as possible!! After all, I have a whole week off right now.  I hope I can crank out a few things.
@kream Yay!! I succeeded! My confidence in humor tends to be rather low... And if Gaki-san was locked out with no clothes, I'm sure Ai-chan wouldn't mind... *snicker*
@meowz Quirky is our Kame!! :lol: Leaving you wondering, am I? Perhaps after this next fic your questions will be answered... And thank you, I was hoping the new title would sound okay. ^^;
@Sukoshi Eri's just not bothered by the thought of a nude Gaki-san.  She may have her mind one other things...or another person... *snicker* Kitty cat? What kitty cat? *insert whistling here* That's all for next time... Well, after this, if you count this as next or...ugh, whatever, it's late and I don't want to think. xD

Okay!! Now that that's done, I can put some last foot notes. I'll bold it too, so you people will see. PLEASE READ THIS!!I feel extremely stupid and weird asking this, but if I refer to you by the wrong gender, please do correct me. I've been around the forums, and I only realized recently that I don't know what gender half of you people are, so I'm afraid to use "him" or "her" when I refer to people...  Or if you don't mind me knowing, just leave a note/send me a PM of whether or not you're a guy/girl. I keep thinking a ton of you are guys...but that's because it's H!P. ^^; And for the record, if any of you don't know, I'm a girl. :) [/awkwardness] I just kinda had to get that off my chest. ^^;;

And this is a Happy Birthday to Sukoshi who I didn't know was having a birthday today until earlier this week. (Well, it's Sunday my time - I think you said it was Sunday, and I certainly hope you weren't jesting, because I pumped this out just for you.) A tribute to your ever amazing Konya translations~ Here we go!!

Yes, it is loosely based off of a few Pocket Morning facts, and a recent translation of Konya. I'll leave you all to wonder what that last unread text said. ;) I hope there aren't any errors...or maybe just a few in there. I read it over, but I'm afraid that I may have missed something... ^^;;

OMG~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!! You are a genius SxY!!!!! I loved this story!!!! Wait a minute, you can't hear me can you? *recalls line in fic about a yell not being able to transmit through a text message*

Damn, you're just going to have to read my "yells" then XD

The starting of the fic was great, all witty and funny. Man I love Sayu when she's like that.

In the middle I got worried when Sayu became so slooooooooooowwwww in her replies and stuff. I was thinking to myself she should kill off that driver so he would stop breathing in all the oxygen :lol:

The ending was da BEST~~!! It was all sweet and emotional and heart warming. Gosh you had me sniffing like crazy. KameShige daisiki!! :heart: And SxY daisuki too :wub:

I demand more fics from you. You have that one week break right. Soooooo about 7 fics should suffice :P

I can predict what Sukoshi's reaction will be in addition to falling in love with this fic. She'll go "TAXI AGAIN?!?!" Or something along that line :lol:

Something else I noticed... didn't you say you were going off to bed? I still see you online :D

And this is a Happy Birthday to Sukoshi who I didn't know was having a birthday today until earlier this week. (Well, it's Sunday my time - I think you said it was Sunday, and I certainly hope you weren't jesting, because I pumped this out just for you.)

kyaaaaaa you're so sweet =D  If I knew things would be this great, I should tell everyone my birthday is every Sunday from now on =D  hehe but I wasn't kidding and yup today is really my bday.  It's very easy to remember.  it's exactly one month from Eri's =D 

I think this is my favourite story of yours yet (and not just cause it was a bday gift) but because I laughed throughout the whole thing XD  I don't know if my face is red from all the laughing or the ending *cough* XD  :wub:

you know...you had me cracking up even at the very start.  I was like *Ooo bday fic!  I wonder what it's going to be* and then I read the title with the word disaster XD  (and lol with a taxi no less!  lol@hammy for creating such a legend) 

oh wait! hammy had a better response for that.  *does an imitation of Hammy doing an imitation of Sukoshi* TAXI AGAIN?!?!  :lol:

I ended up grinning and laughing every couple of sentences after that XD  This was truly hilarious!

you probably can guess that my favourite part was because you’re my only bunny… and you’re my only turtle, Eri 

bunny  :wub: turtle  :wub: SxY  :wub:

PS. I'm pretty sure you already know this but I'll just say it for the heck of it...goes into sapphire voice: I'm a girl.  but you probably get that since Hammy san calls me Sukoshi Chan =D

PPS. I think Hammy's demands are more than reasonable :P

And I'd love to see the Reina and Aichan version of that Relief story, simply because Reina is ... Reina and if one mixes someone like Reina with someone like Aichan... interesting things happen xD And I'd really love to see how Reina persuaded Aichan xDDD

As for Beneficial Disaster, I love how Devil!Sayu was replying to the texts! And Eri is just so friggin adorable throughout xDDDD Love their little moment at the end <3

I really like your writing, so I hope to see more from you in the future~! <3

Man you sure are creative to think of writing out a story from a personality quiz! Good job! But wait.. you left out Gaki-san's lecture to Sayu. Loved the KameShige moment at the end! Kawaii~ and it helps enjoying the fic ALOT since I'm in a KameShige mood lately.

Haven't been reading your other fics so I'll go read all your other fics now~

Yes, here I am, Michishige Sayumi, stuck in a taxi under a pile of snow.  Not quite the most pleasant situation, especially when you know it’s gonna take a while to dig through the snow.  Just who was the genius that decided to go and cause a mini avalanche?  I’d like to stick him in a taxi underneath a pile of snow. See how he likes it.  …Oops, evil side came out.
Evil Sayu! :cow:

But OMGASS she's been caught in an avalanche?!?! :o  Hopefully the taxi driver doesn't try to do anything stupid like put the moves on her.  :-\



Quote
It was getting just a bit harder to breathe…  Since when were taxis air tight?  I mean, even if the air vents are covered by snow, shouldn’t we still somehow be able to breath through it?  Snow is water, water is H2O, H2O is made of two hydrogens and one oxygen, and we breathe oxygen.  So why isn’t it easy to breathe right now?  Ah, forget it.  Not worth the brain power.
Sayu-logic, gotta love it. :lol:



Quote
*MESSAGES FROM OTHER MEMBERS*
Aichan's = As expected. Good job. :P
Risa/Reina's = the jibberish part when Reina stole the phone was awesome, and even better, she typed up her Sayu-logic in her reply! :rofl:
Eri's = :lol:
Eri's part 2 = XD
Junjun's = her grammar goofs are cute, and awwwwwwwww, she's trying to be all comforting... :wub:



Quote
Ugh, my head… Where am I??
...

“Michishige-san? Are you awake?”

I looked up towards the entrance of the room and spotted the tallest member of Morning Musume.  She stood at the doorway with a cup in her hands…a steaming cup.  She looked at me curiously and stepped into the room, gently closing the door behind her.

“Junjun?  What’re doing awake?  And what’s with the cup? Hot chocolate?”

“Michishige-san, one at a time!” She giggled. “You and everyone else know I don’t sleep much.  And yes, it’s hot chocolate.  But since you are awake, would you like to have it?”
Awww how sweet of Junjun to stay by Sayu's bedside.  :oops:



Quote
We got to the taxi fairly quickly and took you out not too long after I sent you that last message.  Do you feel unwell?”

“No, not really.  My leg just feels really heavy or something… It’s a bit numb, too.” Out of nowhere, Junjun started to giggle again. “What?”

“Michi – Sayumi.  Have you looked down at your leg yet?” She recomposed herself and stopped laughing, but still had a smile on.

“No, I haven’t…I was waiting for my eyes to adjust and then you came in.”

“Take a look, then.”

I lowered my eyes to my odd right leg and saw… A body?! Oh my god, I killed – Oh wait, no she’s sleeping.  …Maybe I really did lose a few brain cells…

“Is that…Is that Eri?” I squinted in the darkness. She was slumped over in a chair and resting her head on her arms…which were on my leg. That explains the numbness…

“Yes, it’s Kamei-san.  She’s been in here ever since we brought you back. Shh…don’t want to wake her.”
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

@hammy I'm glad you liked it! ^^ Ack...7 fics? I don't know if I have enough imagination to crank out that many with what time I have left. I still haven't touched my Thanksgiving schoolwork either...oops. :sweatdrop:
@Sukoshi YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I'm glad you liked it. <3 TAXI AGAIN! Lol... Oh gosh, you too? I wonder how many fics I really CAN crank out... I'm not so sure...
@Yuuyami LE GASP YUU HAS VISITED MY THREAD. I feel blessed. xD And well, here's your wish. It's the opening to Ai-chan's part of the fic. ;)
@kream I was hoping the texts would make you laugh. If not that, then Sayu's water logic. XD
@writerjunkie Thank you! ^^ KameiShige, the greatest classic.  Believe it or not, they ranked as the third most popular shipping among fans... (This is according to a thread over at Hello! Online, and the sources are pretty reliable. Send me a PM if you wanna know about it.)
@shadowolf8 The little Pocket Morning fact I used was when they asked who's the first/last to fall asleep.  Half of the members said Junjun would be the last to sleep... And I'm glad that you like it!
@ringo-hime It's Sayu's Ecomoni logic! xD
@stefy Gaki-san's lecture would have killed the KameiShige moment, though... So I left it out. Poor Gaki-san got no luff... or did she? Kekeke...
@JFC WHOA. IT'S ONE OF YOUR FAMOUS LONG REVIEWS!!! I'm glad you liked it! Sayu logic + Eri texts ftw! :cow:
@Fenrir Lol, the Miki one came to me really randomly... Perhaps another one like it will invade my head some day.

Wow, ten reviews. That's a lot for me! XD Well...here's the start of Ai-chan's version.  Keep in mind that it's the opening, so there's not too much happening...yet.  I'll try to get the next part(s) up as soon as I can. Enjoy~

xD!!! Well that's a first time in a while since I've seen someone react like that to my de-lurking comment. Actually I've always been stalking your thread since your debut, I was just too lazy to comment, haha.

I love how Reina's all rawr D< in this chapter, it's Very Reina! -bricked- Aichan was just epic win. Gotta love her obliviousness and Reina's reactions xDDD

Their chemistry is always so amusing, the angry cat and the bemused tiger. I  adore the portrayal of that relationship in your chapter! ¦D

Despite being conversation, it's still executed well and made me laugh a lot with their interactions with each other xDD. Favorite part was when Aichan managed to be the one to kick Reina out instead of the other way around xDDDD!!!

Can't wait for the next part!  :heart: :heart: :heart:

I liked this chapter. The interaction between Ai and Reina is awesome. You can tell they are comfortable around each other. You made me laugh like crazy at the part where Reina's plan backfired and she got locked out instead :lol: I think a certain kitty cat likes the slow moving turtle! I'm right aren't I? Can't wait for the next update. DO IT SOON~~~!!!

It's kinda sad that she was trying to lock her out but then Ai-chan left willingly. XD Jeez, don't you think Ai-chan should know by now that Gaki only has eyes for her?! :P

Quote
Ai sat up in her bed and stared down at the floor.  There was no denying it – Risa’s choice to room with a certain turtle irked her.
Aichan's eyes suddenly as green as a turtle's shell? :P



Quote
I wonder just what those two are up to… An image of Eri and Risa together flew through Ai’s mind.  They were laughing…hugging…joking…kissing… WAIT WHAT!?
Aichan = :o



Quote
I don’t even know if she feels the same…

“I’m sure she does, Ai-chan.”

“Eh?” Ai lifted her head and looked over at Reina confusedly. “I didn’t happen to say that out loud…did I?”

“No, but your face said it for you.”  Reina took a seat on her own bed and faced Ai. “Then again, it’s not like I didn’t know.  You did tell me after all.”

“And it’s going to stay that way, Reina.  You’re the only one that knows, and I plan on keeping it that way.  It was just a slip of the tongue…”

“But it was a really important one, Ai-chan.  Now you just have to do it again…in front of Gaki-san.”
Aichan hasn't confessed her raburabu to Risa!??!? :O



Quote
“Hey, Reina…  I hate to be blunt but…”

“Hm?” Reina nodded at Ai, still drinking her water.

“…Do you think there’s anything going on between those two? Gaki-san and Kamei-chan?”

“PPPFFFTHHH!!!” Reina half spat out her drink as Ai’s words processed through her mind.  She covered her now dripping mouth and stared back incredulously at Ai. “THE HELL!?”
Aichan = :mon huh2:
Reina = :mon spit:

Question now is, does Reina feel for Eri the same way that Aichan feels for Risa? ;D



Quote
“Psh, Eri with Gaki-san is better than Eri with Sayu.  Now that’s a problem.  You’ve got nothing to worry about Ai-chan.”
Lesser of two evils? :lol:



Quote
“Ne, Ai-chan… What do you think about telling Gaki-san…today?”

“Reina, I just told you that I wouldn’t tell her.” Ai grumbled, her face buried in a pillow.

“…NOT IF REINA CAN HELP IT!!”
Hmmmmmm...Reina has a plan? :?



Quote
Reina jumped off of her bed and yanked her taller companion right off of her bed.  Startled, Ai put up no fight as her junior pulled her towards the exit of their room.  The younger yankii managed to drag her taller friend over to the door, but that was as far as she got.  At that point, Ai understood just what Reina was attempting to do.  There’s no way you’re locking me out, Reina.  Due to Reina’s smaller size and lack of muscle, the situation was immediately reversed, and Reina soon found herself staring at the white door of her room…from the outside.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! It's gotta be! It's the Aichan side of when Risa gets locked out by Eri! :w00t:


BTW, Reina getting locked out = :on lol:

@Yuuyami The hat seems to be working well. :) Very, very well... *cough cough* (That'll make more sense at the end of this post.) I hope you have fun with this. ^^
@hammy I couldn't finish seven. :cry: Perhaps I can make it up some time? I'm still trying to piece together the pieces of my head that school just gnawed off. D: And of course I know that song... It put me to sleep the other night! (In the good way.)
@kream Leave willingly? Oh I'm not too sure about that... *nudge nudge*
@ringo-hime And here it is! Enjoy. =D
@Sukoshi Oh Reina's a lot more of a sly kitty cat than you think. ;)
@rev2hd Well now you'll find out! xD And thank you for lurking my thread. ...Or coming out of lurking. Ish. ...I think I just confused myself. xD
@Fenrir Reina is a kitty cat...and sly kitty cats always find a way to get what they want. xD Or at least, in her case they do.
@JFC Yup.  These events take place at the same time...almost.

So yeah, part of the dialog is the same... Sorry.  But it makes one look back...ish. Somewhat. But a lot of you seemed like you were hoping for some fun stuff for this chapter.  So I've done my best with that. ;) And I'm sorry for not being able to describe kissing scenes. It just doesn't come naturally for me, I guess. :(

Okay, I need you all to READ THIS!!  I'm taking a mini poll at the moment, because I can't decide what to do.  After this fic, do you want me to:

A) Finish part three. Yes, there is a part three to this.  If so, you must pick between Reina and Eri.  Make sure to let me know which.

B) Start a new oneshot.  I've already gotten part of it written...I just need to rewrite that part and complete it.

C) Start a few FIC!! Aka...chapter fic. I'll do my best to stay updated with both this thread and my chapter fic once I do start it...

I can't pick which to do first.  I WILL get around to doing all of them...I just can't decide the order. :sweatdrop: I need some help here, guys!

So without further adieu... (or maybe just a bit as I edit the post) here is the next installment! :) (Oh, and I'm sorry if Aichan is a bit OOC here. It was harder to fit myself into her shoes than I thought.)

Too tired to do the usual multi-quote-comment thing I do, but rest assured I read it, and it's AWESOME! :rockon:

I read the AichanxReina texting convo, and I was all "SWEET!!!"  XD

And in particular, Reina's last text to Aichan...epic in wisdom. :yep:

LOL!!! SxY you are so cute and funny! I love the way you wrote this. It's too hilarious. I think you've succeeded in keeping me in good spirits for the rest of the day :)

You managed to make the different "locked outside the room gig" refreshing in their own ways. Not to mention very adorable *sigh* Contented now :D

I can't decide between the 3 options. Hmmmm *ponders* Is (B) the angsty fic? If yes I'm soooo going for that. I love good angsty fics. Especially by you :heart:

@JFC Wise kitty cat, ne? xD
@Sukoshi Looks like we'll end up two one shots instead. xD
@hammy I'm still working on the angsty fic... There are a couple kinks in it that need...de-kinking. o-o
@Fenrir The thought of Ai-chan cursing is an interesting one...
@kream More will have to come later. :sweatdrop: Looks like everyone voted B instead...
@H2Overdose You everyone else seem to like option B. xD

Okay, okay. I know most of you guys voted B, and want the oneshot I've been working on, but that'll have to come later. Because right now... I've got a birthday oneshot for Eri. <3 It's a day late if you count the time in Japan, but where I'm from, it's still (barely) the 23rd. That's my excuse, anyway. The idea didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, and the writing this time around isn't so great. Yes, I am aware the writing really goes everywhere in this. I normally don't enjoy writing in 3rd person either... Gah. Sorry guys. I wish I could have written this better. It worked out so much nicer in my head...  :( Still, I hope you enjoy it. (Oh, and look at the title - I'm so damn unoriginal. :doh:)

#6.  20 Dreams

Quote
Eri rolled over on her bed, looking at the glaringly bright numbers of her alarm clock.  Only five minutes remained until the clock struck midnight – until she became an adult. 

...

*achoo*

What the heck!?


...

“…Aru? Aru, you there boy?” she called.
Something tells me it wasn't the dog. :D



Quote
Oi,

Happy birthday, kid.  The big twenty, you’re officially an adult.  Damn, you make me feel old now.
Sadly, that's how I often feel now with many of the classes I work with. I mean, how old am I that the kids in school these days DON'T know who MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are???
:dizzy:



Quote
I’ll have to take you out for a drink sometime…
If this is who I think it is. :lol:



Quote

But seriously, enjoy your birthday.  Twenty is a big number – don’t get intimidated by it.  Keep being yourself
Very true. Just because one turns a certain age doesn't mean that they suddenly need to completely change who they are.  :yep:





Quote
and don’t stop the craziness – it’s what makes you so damn loveable sometimes.  You should do another one of those nutso sales dances in celebration.  I’m waiting to see it. Hahaha…

~Nakazawa Yuko
XD



Quote
*ERI'S BIRTHDAY SURPRISE*
Well, it's Eri's own fault for having such a messy room. It made it easy for the others to get hiding places.  LOVED how you had Aichan saying "bejeebers".
:on lol:



Quote
“But where is Kamei-san?”

“She was on top of me a minute ago…”
Have I mentioned how I love double-entendres?
:wahaha:



Quote
“Kame’s still weird…” Risa teased, offering her younger friend a hand. Eri shook her head, signaling that she was fine. Slowly, she wiggled herself out of the small space and sat face to face with her fellow adult group members.

“Tell me, what are you all doing here? I was gonna go to sleep after getting my first mail –”

“We’re gonna take you drinking of course!” Risa laughed.

“At midnight!” Junjun joined in.

“Don’t look at me, I’m just the chaperone.” Ai shrugged.  The other two turned their heads and gaped at their leader. “Nah, I’m just kidding. C’mon Kameko, it won’t kill.”
HA! They beat Yuko to the proverbial punch!
 :xo:



Quote
*DRUNK ERI*
Even like this there's a weird cuteness about her. :oops:



Quote
Ai nodded. “Junjun and I have had more experience with this stuff, since she was able to drink since she was eighteen…”

“Yup!” Junjun smiled, raising her glass.
Junjun = :cheers



Quote
“Yosh… There we go.” Risa muttered, laying Eri down on her bed.  “You’re probably not going to wake up until tomorrow, hm?”

“Nah…I don’t think I’ll wake up for a week…” Eri replied, rolling over. The (now) slightly more sober girl placed an arm on her forehead and groaned loudly. “What the hell did I drink again? Ugh…”

“Kame, watch your mouth!”
First drunk experience invariably leads to the first hangover experience. :P

Risa might want to find a bucket of something to keep by Eri's bed.



Quote
“Don’t go, Gaki-san.” Eri begged. “I…”

“Kame?” Risa retracted her steps and carefully sat down on the bed next to Eri. “What’s wrong?”

“What…am I going to be like – if I change?  Would I still be me?  Or…”

“Ah…is that all that you’re worried about?” Risa gently patted Eri’s head and gave reassuringly rubbed her shoulder.  “Kame, I know you think that being twenty is super important.  It’s the official age of adulthood, and I don’t blame you one bit for being worried.  But if you really want to know what I think… I think that you’ll always be who you are.  It doesn’t matter if you change just a little bit – you’ll always be my Pokepokepuu. Right?”
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...
:wriggly:



Quote
The elder girl watched carefully as Eri’s breathing became calm and regulated – a sign that she had fallen asleep.  She looked over her shoulder at the bright digital clock behind her.  It was much too late to call a taxi and go home.  Looking over at Eri once again, she sighed and carefully pushed the sleeping girl further inside the bed.  Risa picked up a pillow next to the bed and settled herself in – she’d have to spend the night.

Risa turned herself around so that she was facing Eri.
Normally I'd be all WOOT at this, but given the circumstances (and Eri's boozing noob-ness), are we sure it's such a good idea for Risa to be scooching over next to her like this?
:mon sweat:



Quote
A smile crept its way into Risa’s face as she chuckled at her friend’s expression.  She pulled the resting girl into a hug and pressed her lips to Eri’s exposed forehead.

Sweet dreams, Kame.

Owari~

Ah! I'm so glad someone wrote something for Eri's 20th birthday!  Our little turtle needs love!  But you know, why stop at 2 Shiya...there should be at least 20!  or at least one more with Eri having 20 very strange dreams XD

but anyway...I love the surprise part.  the screaming was the best and the Eric reference <3

OMG you updated!!! :w00t: *URESHII~~~!!!* I'll come back to edit this reply after I finish reading. Hopefully I won't be kicked off the computer by then. If I do then you can only see the edit during the weekend :(

I got kicked off BUT, I'm BACK!!  I had too. After reading such an awesome Eri Bday fic and deriving so much joy and amusement, I had to come back and comment even if something happened. Vague? Yeah but let's keep it that way.

At first I was so worried that this was that angsty fic. I mean I like those but not on the turtle's birthday right? :D I'm glad this turned out to be an oh-so-adorable story. I'm over the moon that it's GakiKame centric. Me love the turtle and bean duo :heart: Not to mention how cute they were in it. Kinda disappointed that the kiss didn't become something more but I'll take what I can get :)

AHHHHH, too much sweetness in the morning!!!! XD Eri's so cute trying to stay up, even though we all know she's the one who sleeps all the time. Fuckin hilarious, everyone hiding in her room. XD Drunk Eri is even cuter, I tell you. But I do feel bad for everyone else having to deal with her like that!!! :rofl: But the ending was so so so so so so touching. :wub:
Great job, SxY. You always write the perfect combo of funny and cute. :heart:

Woke up to a very fine fic in the morning~! <3

Cute that Eri fights her innate urge to sleep just to wait for her birthday messages <3... And Yuko's was... Yuko's <333333 And HAA at Morning Daddy and Morning Mommy + Morning Panda hiding inside of Eri's room without her noticing at all! One hell of a messy room, turtle~

I knew I'd see the bar coming! The three legals and the new recently-turned legal >D

Absolutely loved all the Kuma song parodies! Eri bringing in the mame version just killed me and saru version + Aichan's reaction made me fell off my chair! Gahh, I love your humor, Shicchan~ <3 (I can call you that, right? o-o)

And Eri's worry for not changing, awwww <3 Contrary to what Hamminz said, I actually prefered that they didn't kiss 'cause that would be out of the left field for an innocent fic like this xDDD The message the story gives didn't need a kiss~ xDDD

Looking forward to your other stuff~!

A drunk Eri is always fun to imagine :lol: I loved her songs, they were so randomly amusing. I'm surprised that Nakazawa was the first to send a text to Eri. I imagined that it would be Sayu... Well, maybe Nakazawa had a small "talk" with Sayu :P

Great one-shot! I loved it :wub: :wub: :wub:

I figured I'd just do comment replies now...kind of half-taking a break from writing. (More like I'm fighting against the lack of writing ability right now.) I'll get the next oneshot up soon...I hope. Then another one after, and then the prologue of my chapter fic. I'm actually working on all three - when I get stuck on one, I move onto the other... :sweatdrop:

@Fenrir I'm glad you understood the reference. I was wondering who would...
@JFC Double-entendres are amazing. :cow:
@Sukoshi Unfortunately the bunny isn't 20 yet. D: And 20 different dreams in one night? How often would they change? :sweatdrop:
@hammy Well, whatever happened, I hope it's all right. I'm glad you liked it. I honestly did have a kiss planned out, but nothing would change the situation for it to happen. So I went with the innocent path this time. <3
@kream Glad to know I'm improving on that. I used to fail at funny. I can only manage sad/cute.
@Yuu (I can call you that, right? I have a habit of shortening people's usernames...) I'm glad you liked it. :) And I'm also glad that you liked the kuma references. I was hoping that I'd at least get a few people to laugh with that. Yes, innocence is good... OH! Shicchan is actually a really cute nickname... Thank you, of course you can call me by that. It might start spreading around now... I find it cuter than the other nicknames I've had. ^__^  :heart: :heart:
@KonaKaga Aaaah!! I haven't heard from you in a while, good to see you again. :) Glad you liked it - I just had to have my GakiKame somehow on Eri's bday. XD I would think Sayu/Reina/Gaki-san would be first, but I wanted to throw something unexpected in there.
@ringo (Again, shortening...) Of course Eri wouldn't notice. She did say on TV/DVD/whatever it is that she could play hide and seek in her room. And she was being completely serious. .___.;;

*runs back to start writing again* Waaaaah. Extra tears and sorry-s to Hammy. I promised you this a while ago but it just won't turn out right. And I refuse to post it for you to read until it's perfect! (Or damn well close.) *is stubborn like that*

Hey guys, I'm not dead! Well, I will be soon. Finals. Ugh. Anyway, here's something I promised a while ago. Please forgive all of the choppy sentences. I figured it kinda fit the mood/feel of the fic. I hope you enjoy it. ^__^ This fic is a song fic, but I didn't use all of the lyrics...I left out the tail end of the song because it just repeated itself again.  If you wanna listen, you can do so here (http://www.mediafire.com/?omnr0ugwqxw). (You'll have to download.) But if you listen to it while reading, I can pretty much guarantee that the song will finish before the fic. I warned you...

In my hands I held a vase full of white roses.  They’re for you, you know?  It’s been a while, but it’ll be nice to see you again.  I can almost hear your voice.
Oh, I don't know if I like where this sounds like it's going. :O



Quote
I was so oblivious when I picked up the receiver.  The voice I heard on the line wasn’t you, and yet your name immediately worked its way into the discussion.  My eyes widened and my breath shortened.  Even now, I can still feel the pain and how my heart wrenched as the deep voice of the officer fed me the details.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo........:cry:

I felt nothing as I looked downwards at the glass in my hand again.  The shard wasn’t the same; it was stained.  Its edge was lined with a dark red liquid.

Well, since I've spoiled it over at Hello! Online, I figured I might as well do it here as well. If you want to remain oblivious as to the pairing, don't read the following text.

Seriously.

Back away.

I'm warning you...

FWA~ [bgcolor=#000000]It's GakiKame. Our dear KonaKaga, just like me, is a big GakiKame/KameMame (I don't know which I like to use more, lol) fan, so she hit the nail on the head. Indeed, there was a moment when Gaki-san said somewhere that, although she appears to have a genki personality, she's not always happy. She said that one time she went to cry in a washroom, and thought that no one knew... But guess who did? Yes, it was our dear turtle who found her and comforted Gaki-san. :wub:[/bgcolor]

*runs from the Hello Kitty dolls that she's somehow expecting from Sukoshi if she comes*

Replies will come with my next story...after finals...ugh...

*rewinds to the beginning*

eh? White roses?  ack!!  who died this time X__X!?!! 
oh wait...they don't seem dead after all XD 
oh wait...O M G they are dead!

I'm about to cry at the vase breaking.  So sad  :cry:

*sees name at the end*

NO NO AND NO!    :scolding:
*end of tape*

and the bunny died at the end?!!? (I know it's gaki cause of the washroom thing but I'm in denial here!)     :on blackhole:  kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

*joins stefy*  WHY!!!   

*sniffles, breathes...stares at screen for awhile*......okay now to say something meaningful XD  That was beautiful...it went with the song so well.  There was so much emotion...it really got to me...hence the sniffling. 

*Sukoshi curls up*  okay time to end this insane rant so you can study  :omamori: GL!  I'll be here waiting for your next happy *wink wink* story~

^ This comment was too cute and funny Sukoshi-chan *huggles* Now that I've hugged you, it's time for me to yell at you. <--sound familiar? XD

WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU DISAPPEAR TO?!?!?!?!??! I was so friggin worried! At first I thought you were busy hence the drop-off-the-H!P-radar result. Then more days passed and I started to wonder if you were sick. When even more days passed, scary thoughts began to pop into my head. I was so afraid that something bad happened. It's a good thing you're back now but don't ever, EVER disappear like that again okay? *sniff* :cry:

Oops, I probably shouldn't have said this in Shiichan's thread, but I figured she would have had the same thoughts? She missed seeing you around too.  :)

What's with the rockets of Hello Kitties dolls? If you were to throw stuff at me in the future I want those Mickey Mouse gloved hands okay? I always had a soft spot for those :D Oh, and does bad tasting chinese new year candies mean you celebrate CNY?

ah gomen ne Shiya chan I'm also gonna steal this tread for a second to apologize to hammy san.  but erm to compensate I'll tell you a little more about the hello kitty and bad candy comment! XD

*looks over at hammy*  *hug hug*

ah yes that comment does sound familiar....yet I don't have the slightest clue why >.>  ahahaha...*nervous laughter* *cough cough* *looks away*  gomen ne, gomen ne, gomen ne ? *sweat drop*

erm...must think of a witty excuse pronto to appease my dear hammy san! . . . . . erm....hmm...yabai...drawing a blank is no good XD  Hmm I have been busy but thankfully not sick (though that didn't stop everyone from trying to pass their germs onto me!  thank you very much onii sama...darn winter).  To be honest, I didn't think I'd really worry anyone by taking a little break but I think I've been mistaken.  Erm..*sniffy eyes*  I'll try not to worry anyone in the future ^_^;;;

and now for the hello kitty dolls?  lol...I actually have a lot of plushies lined up on my shelf so that was a lovely source of inspiration that one night I was taking it out on a poor writer...(either kona or shiya first)  XD  Now if that wasn't bad enough...good god.  the candy.  THE CANDY!  Yes, I do celebrate the new year..and every year okaa sama would buy the cutest candy.  In addition to the regular new years candy, like white rabbit candy and lucky candy (利是糖)..(didn't have any this year cause they've been deemed poisonous now? go figure XD) there's also really cute candy that are shaped like baby corn and other nice looking things...but by god they taste like rubber.  That should have been the hint.  if they look like rubber...they just might taste like it too!  ^_^;  For whatever reason, mostly the fact that they were so bad that we blocked it from our memory, we would buy some more the next year.  For the last couple of years my friends didn't know any better and picked the cute looking stuff and boy did they thank me for that XD  seriously...not only do they taste bad but they magically make you forget they taste bad the next year.

anyways I'm sure people have stopped reading my babble awhile ago so let's just all poke Shiya chan for a new one shot =D

Unfortunately, I too will have to spam my own thread for a moment.

*slings an arm over Sukoshi* Found her in Sayu's thread. Had me damn worried too. *poke* But I'm glad to see you back. Actually, you've been missing out on the news:  I'm supposed to have a fic spree sometime in the future. I think it should last for about a week...(Or maybe a bit longer.) Gotta clear some time for myself first. I'm working out of order on all of the fics. Current one that I'm working on is gonna be my longest. It's around 2/3 done and on it's fifth page... ^^; (2244 words so far...)

Not the bad tasting new years candy!! T__T *crawls back to her own bowl of better tasting candy* I actually celebrate, too. Vietnamese/Chinese New Year... Red envelopes... :D But I swear, I've been pigging out on the candy. That can't be a good sign. ._.

*shields self from poking* I'll get the fics out!! ...Sooner or later.  But seriously, with all of the Eri love that's been floating around lately, the ideas just won't seem to stop. o-o I plan on screwing with the timeline in one of the oneshots, though. :sweatdrop:


EDIT:  Okay, because I don't want to triple post, I'm posting comment replies here:

@Fenrir *hands you a tissue box* ... You might need it again...
@nana777 Well...now you know the answer, right? :sweatdrop:
@Yuu I can't begin to tell you how much this hard hat has worked. I'm brimming with ideas~ Now if only I had the time to write all of them...
@Kona Lol, I'm giving you a nickname, too.  Anyway, good job for knowing. I'm glad you liked. :)
@hammy Thanks~ ^__^ I'm glad you liked. My finals were okay, but I managed to keep all As in my classes... Thank god. And love you too. :wub:
@JFC You need a tissue box too? ^^;
@kream Glad I managed to make you like it, even though the pairing was anonymous...kinda. I did end up revealing it anyway.
@stefy I don't know. DON'T HURT ME. *runs and hides*
@Sukoshi All I can say is... I'M SORRY. *ducks from the even great mass of Hello Kitties she's expecting after this*

Now then... For those of you who knew about my plans:  Err...I'm sorry, I figured out that there is no way I can save my chapters and stuff to do a release spree. :sweatdrop: I just have this overwhelming urge to post whatever it is I've written when I've completed it. So there won't be any release spree from me, but you can be assured that every single one of my ideas will definitely be released to you guys. <3

Onto the fic!! (My longest oneshot thus far!!)

I promise the next one will be happy!!!

#8. Come Back

[STORY HERE]
--


Inspired by Hikki's song "Come Back to Me" that's supposed to be on her English album. :D Click here (http://islandrecords.com/site/promo/splash/utada/index.htm) to listen. I only used specific stanzas that gave me the idea for this fic, so I recommend reading before listening. :) Hence why I put the link AFTER the fic. Lol.

So how many of you figured out which pairing it was during the fic? Let me know which pairing you thought it was if you thought different, because you should be able to tell by the end.  (Yes, I photoshopped it myself. :P)  If could couldn't figure out who the last girl is, it was [bgcolor=#000000]Kamei[/bgcolor].  And just to be double sure, the fic is in [bgcolor=#000000]Ai-chan's[/bgcolor] POV.  I just don't want anyone confused.  I promise my next fic will be light-hearted!!

Ah, I knew it was Ai-chan once I read Reina. XD Of course her tormentor would be Gaki-san, but I didn't really think about who Gaki-san was with. XD

But... awww...... from Takagaki love to Takagaki heartbreak.  :(

Jeez, you got me into one of my "I know what's gonna happen so I'm gonna whimper out loud" things. XD I started freaking out as soon as it said that Gaki was leaving for just two days. :sweatdrop: But once Gaki found them, I was all, "NOOOOOOO!!" I love my TakaGaki too much but I love this fic too. :grin: As for the pairings, I was like Fenrir and could tell by the Reina thing, as well as the joke about not being able to hold liquor. I knew it was Kame too, who else would be with Gaki in this kind of story?
Nice photoshop too! :inlove:

but it's was good and the song went SOOO well!!

Somehow I instantly knew it was TakaGaki..

but my page suddenly spazzed and scrolled to the bottom of the page and that's when I saw the picture so I was like
 :shocked "HOLY SHI--- I JUST TOTALLY SPOILED MYSELF!!!"

AAAAAAAAARGGGGGG Shicchan!!! Write a fic to inspire me on TAKAGAKI not against it!!
I might spam you on finishing the 3rd part of lights camera action ya know  :roll:

It was really good though.. poor picture frame >__<
lol stop bringing Hikki songs in your fics :lol:

Where did Takahashi travel to anyway??
Since I'm gonna be assuming she left the country..

There was something I wanted to quote....... I can't find it nor remember what it was grr

btw on the ring thing..
Quote
That small diamond ring was still in its black velvet box, resting inside the third drawer beneath some of the letters I kept.
o___O" were they like engaged or something?? I'm really mad at the both of them if that is the case  :(

:: sighs :: dammit people, I want some good old fashioned fluff!!  :lol:
What's with all dem depressing things lately!!
but yeah, good as always Shicchan, its one of those fics that I'm both glad and regretful for reading XD

Post by: Sukoshi on February 04, 2009, 11:54:21 AM
ah...I so didn't guess right at the beginning....I blame you for that though XD  Your hello kitty warning threw me off...and this being another song fic, I was thinking...oh no!  This must be a continuation of Reminiscence! :cry: 

All this time I thought it would be about Gaki and how she ended up losing Kame.  Since the narrator had brown hair I figured I was still on the right track...also figured it would be GakiKame related based on your preferences.  But then the Reina part threw me off...I imagined it was Eri cheating on Gaki with Sayu (yes, it's just an auto response by my brain) but I couldn't really see Eri drinking wine and stuff...After find out it's Reina, for a split second I thought of Ai chan but I could totally see it as TanaKamei so I was back to GakiKame.  The ring part also threw me off since it's usually Ai chan with the ring but Gaki was the one with it.   and then I thought it was Ai chan in the store since she liked gadgets...my brain was about to die at this point from changing the narrator and characters around every few minutes.  It's pretty funny since I usually figure it out really fast who the characters are but this time even though my brain was trying desperately to tell me it's not a story about Eri cheating on Gaki...my heart was being stubborn and not listening XD

oh I waited...and waited...and was pleasantly surprised that everyone was still alive XD

nice touch with the photoshop.  Surprisingly with my brain activity being so low tonight, I'm a little surprised I saw this coming XD based on the fact that I listen to this song quite often and know the lyrics include the word photoshop..and that you've been playing around with CS in other posts  :ph43r:

anywhoo since everyone's alive, I'm a pretty happy camper!   :on GJ:

Phew... Good. No dead people this time. Awww! how sad. But I kept thinking it was Gaki's POV for some reason. Well ReinaxGaki was hot! (you just had to ruin it for me and let out that it was Aichan instead)

What made you think I'd hurt you?! I'd never hurt a fly! *hides electric saw* awww.. and I was really getting the hang of using it cuz of school today..

@Fenrir Well, I've written enough GakiKame sad stuff, so I thought I'd give TakaGaki a shot.
@kream Thank you, though I still don't think the reflections of the glass are in the right places. ^^;
@shadowolf8 Junjun and Ai-chan? xD Interesting pairing/guess...
@Rai Can't help it if I love Hikki's music. :P And no, you won't have to spam me anymore.  Oh, and about the ring - it was more of a girlfriend ring...thing. I think?  It's certainly not an engagement ring, that I can tell you for sure.
@Sukoshi XD I love your story about guessing who was who.  I guess I sorta did derail myself since Kame is usually the main character in my fics.  And yes, it's my first sad story where everyone is alive!! xD
@stefy I didn't make you highlight the text.  :P  Hey wait a sec...electric saw? ...  o___o;;
@JFC *pat pat* Does this make it better? *throws out new fic*

So who remembers just what happened in this fic? XD It's been quite some time, but I've decided to finish part 3 of it... But from here one out, it'll all be new fics.  :twothumbs  For now, enjoy this...  Hopefully it won't take TOO long to crank out my next oneshot. *has a whole list of them* :sweatdrop:

Sayumi had to wash up after her fellow Rokkies. That was sad and funny at the same time XD Does she have someone in the story? Like I said, I can't recall. You could drop me a hint if you want to :P

C'mon! Bring on da raburabu! :cow:



Quote
“Excuse me… I think I’m done.”

“Eh?”  Eri looked up questioningly from her bowl of soup at one of her closest friends.  “But Gaki-san, your bowl is still half full…”
'K, considering how you ended off the last chapter of this...initial thoughts of the setting were.........different than GakiKame having soup. :P



Quote
“You DO still have your key, right? Or am I not gonna have a roommate tonight?”

“Oh come on!” Eri whined.  “I’m better than that!! …I think.  Er, it doesn’t matter anyway, does it?”
It might, depending on whether or not there's actually anyone IN GakiKame's room when Eri eventually goes up there. :D

Aichan and Risa had "their talk", right? So like, what's the deal now between them?  :roll:



Quote
“I’m done, too.”

“You serious??” Reina, too, looked up from her dinner at her own roommate.  “You’re not done either!!  And you hate wasting food!!”

“…Reina, go check your eyes.  I’m done.”  Ai lowered her bowl to further prove her point.  “I’m gonna go now…  See you in a bit Ren-chan.”
Well, well, well, Aichan's finished too? ;D



Quote
Ai placed her bowl on top of Risa’s before quickly moving out of the small dinner room, not giving anyone else a second glance.  Risa fell silent and gently bit the inside of her lips; the atmosphere was too awkward to talk.  Reina and Eri looked at each other and confusedly before turning to their elder friend.

“Somethin’ goin’ on here that I don’t know about?”
Eh? No flirty glances? No winks? Should we be worried that things didn't go that well during "the talk"?
:mon huh2:



Quote
“Something’s up, huh?” they stated in unison.

“Nnnnn… Aah…” Eri sighed, stretching out in her seat.  “I don’t get it Reina-chan.  Why can’t they just talk like they used to?”

“Love’s complicated when you don’t know it’s mutual.” Reina chided, shaking her spoon at Eri.  “It’s not like you didn’t know how it felt.”

“Eh…” Eri diverted her eyes to the floor, unable to come up with a response to the accusation.  Suddenly her eyes brightened and she clapped her hands together excitedly.  “I GOT IT!!!”

“Oww… Eri, that hurt my ears.  And just what do you have?”

“We’re gonna get Gaki-san and Ai-chan together…tonight!!”
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a sec.....is this a prequel? :?  Risa and Reina haven't been "locked out" of their rooms yet? Reina and Aichan didn't have that texting convo yet? O_o



Quote
Eri laughed grabbing onto Reina’s hand and pulling her out of her seat.  “We’re gonna play matchmakers tonight, Reina!!  Let’s go!”

“B-But…my soup!?” Reina complained, allowing herself to be dragged along by the physically stronger girl.

“Aww, leave it.  Sayu’ll get it for us.”
But...but...but...the soup! :O



Quote
“I still don’t think it’s a bright idea…”

“You’re talking to the aho of the group, Reina.  Of course it’s going to be – hey wait a sec, did I just call myself…?” Eri paused before shaking her head.
Eri self-burns! XD

It IS a prequel/Alternate POV!!! AND we've also got TANAKAMEI!!! :w00t:



Quote
“…I kinda got locked out…”  Reina muttered, sheepishly scratching the back of her head.  “I told you it wouldn’t go well.”

“Well did you at least get anything out of it?  Looks like you’re hiding something behind your back…”

“Well, I managed to snag Ai-chan’s diary…journal…notebook…THING before I got out…” Reina pulled the notebook out from behind her back.  “Dunno what I could do with it though.  Accidentally grabbed onto it while I trying to not get locked out… Does that make sense?  I’ve got my phone, too…if that’s of any use.”

“Are you kidding me??” Eri gaped at Reina before snatching both items out of the former’s hands.  “It’s perfect!!  Just watch.”
OSNAP! The texting thing was Eri's idea?!?!? :o

That turtle's more slick that she's gotten credit for.  :pimp:



Quote
“Eri, how much time have you been spending with Sayu?”

“Uh…I was talking with her earlier today.  Why?”

“…I think her evil side’s contagious…”  Reina whispered, shaking her head.  “Be careful how much time you spend with her, Eri.”
:wahaha:



Quote
*ERI "STALLS" RISA*
:on lol:



Quote
“We…we need…to talk…”

“My room’s available.”


“Whaddaya know…it worked.”  Reina whispered, turning to look at her companion.
TanaKamei =  :twothumbs :twothumbs



Quote
“Told ya it would end well.”  Eri smirked.  “Now we don’t have to deal with any leader or sub-leader problems.  See, everyone wins.”

“Not necessarily,” Reina frowned, a new fact dawning upon her mind.

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m kinda out of a place to sleep tonight…” Reina mumbled.  Eri chuckled lightly in response before leaning down closer to her ear.  Reina shuddered underneath Eri’s warm breath.

“Well there’s always my room…”
Oh fook yeah. :pepper:



Quote
Reina made a mental note to talk with Sayumi again before she was pulled into the newly vacated room.
Indeed, Reina will need to thank her for her influence on Eri.  O0



Quote
Extra Excerpt:

Sayumi sneezed as she walked into the condo’s small kitchen.  She lightly dabbed at her nose with the back of her hand before switching on the small room’s lights.  Even a bunny needs her midnight snacks, after all.  Expecting to simply saunter over the refrigerator to grab something, she instead groaned at the sight that befell her eyes first.  Soup.

“Oh you’ve got to be kidding me…”
Sayu doesn't like soup? :P

“…Reina, go check your eyes.  I’m done.”  Ai lowered her bowl to further prove her point. 

So mean Ai chan.  Reina can't help it if her eyes are wonky :P

Eri doing the scheming is a nice surprise.  Love how Sayu's not only good for dishes but for brainwashing too XD 
It's even funnier knowing that Eri barged into the bathroom with the full intention of disturbing Gaki san XD

you should someday write a story called the Bunny's revenge. XD

I nodded to myself, recognizing the R&B feel to it.  But at the same time I grimaced and scoffed (if it’s possible to do both at once); story of my life much.  The song probably ripped out my thoughts and used them as lyrics for all I know.
Moi exact thoughts. :3  XD
i heart you~   :twothumbs

I'm glad you finished Lights, Camera, Action. Its light-hearted and funny, and really nice to see the pieces fit together at the end. (tanakame! there I go again...)
Hope to see more of these, you're really good at writing humor. And I think we've had enough of musumes dying in fics for a while :P

Speaking of which, #7. Reminiscence almost made me tear  :cry:

@kream That's what Sayu gets for influencing Eri! XD
@shadowolf8 Unforutnately, TanaKame's not my top, but they're pretty darn easy to write about.
@stefy Devil! Eri's gotta make an appearance SOMETIME, right?
@hammy Sadly, Sayu's outta loop. Or maybe the soup can be her friend. :P
@JFC Reina owes Sayu one! :lol:
@Sukoshi But doesn't she get enough when she gropes Eri? XD
@Fenrir Who knows how far ahead Eri thought?
@Haruka TanaKame is somehow really easy to write... Huh. ._.
@ringo Aw, if you wrote a fic based on that song, I'd love to see it.
@meowz Thanks! ^__^ Glad you liked them.

Ooookay... So I've been absent for THE longest time due to school... And I REALLY wanted #9 to be the Alternate View of "Come Back", but Hammy's been begging for a fic, so I'll have to make an interruption. Once again, I would have loved to post a happy fic, but all of my happy fics are currently works in progress... Yes, that means we get a more mellowed out fic.  Enjoy the first part of this three-shot. Look for an update very soon. :)

Crud...*stares at Shiya*  I have faith in you that this will end as happily as possible.  It may not be true but I'm trying to guilt you into it  :P

thoughts on 9.1
I thought it was Gaki that broke Eri's heart at first. 

thoughts on 9.2
ah...I was wrong.  but I still thought it was Gaki in the other bed at the start and that she was smelling Ai chan...cause of the detergent XD

I like how Eri's the perceptive one in this story.  She may be perceptive in real life but she's often portrayed as....well pokepoke in most stories, not that I don't love that side of Eri, but that was a nice touch.

Shiichan~~!!! This was...it was.....BEAUTIFUL!!! It really is! *blinks tears away* Gosh....I....*composes self* I.....GAHHHHH *slaps self to think better*

*Ahem* Ok, now I think I'm functioning properly to continue my comment :P You know, at the beginning, the story was so sad, so depressing that Eri would be faced with an unrequited love. As much as I hate the object of her affections to be Reina, it somehow fit so well. Then when I realized Risa faced the same problem with Ai, it was such a huge double whammy :banghead: I almost couldn't bear to read it anymore thinking that my beloved KameMame would not be lucky enough to be blessed with happiness.

So I stopped reading, deciding to come back again when I wasn't so flushed with emotions. I'm glad I did though cuz the next part dumped a whole bag of emotions on me at once. Fear, anticipation, heartache and more. I was so worried that Eri was going to kill herself, and even more afraid that she had succeeded.

In the final part, I was bowled over by your descriptive writing. Of the sea, the breeze, the coolness of the waves, everything! But most of all, were the feelings felt by the 2 girls. In the end, all I can say is, I'm so thankful and grateful that you wrote this dispute your incredibly crazy studying schedule.

Don't stop writing Shiichan, cuz you make so many people happy with your works.

*looks back at relatively long comment*

Wow, you really affected me. I'm actually tearing :D Oops *wipes tears embarassed and sinks lower into chair* :oops:

Hehehe so my faith in you worked out.  Thank god you didn't make Eri do something...regrettable!  I would have been crushed!  But now I'm happy and so relieved =D

Hmm...for most of the story I wasn't fully convinced that Eri really loved Risa.  I could so tell that Gaki really loved Eri but kame had me guessing until the very end.  Though if I think about it, it's very fitting since the story is about letting go.  The last sentence about how the end is always another beginning...I think that was perfect.

Egads, I have replying to do... I think I'll just reply to the last section though, since it WAS the end after all...

@JFC Glad to see that you liked it. :)

@KK Kinda stinks that you couldn't stay up late enough to read it. ^^; But at least you did in the end...right? :P

@Haruka GakiKame's my favorite. :D (I'll read almost any Eri pairing, though. ._.)

@ringo-hime Thanks!  :theking

@hammy Oh noes, the tears again! xD Thank you for your comment, though. I don't think I've ever had such a strong reaction to a fic of mine before. :D

@Sukoshi Thank you! <3 I was having a ton of trouble with the ending, and out of nowhere that popped into my brain. =D

Okay, so I've been inactive for another good month... Um, well. Just wait for about another two-three weeks. After the AP Exams are over, life will relax a bit for me, and I'll have more free time to go through with all of my ideas. :3  As for this next fic, I originally had it planned for Hammy's bday, but that didn't work out so well... So a random gift for Hammy? I know it's terribly short, but I had absolutely zero ideas at the moment... (Maybe I should have held back "Let Go" for you. :P)  This is definitely NOT my best work, but... I couldn't just leave an idea to rot. :/

***IF ANYONE IS READING MY STUFF TO JUDGE KOUHAKU, I RECOMMEND READING EITHER #8 OR #9***

...*slaps self for self advertising* But that's just a note, because those two really were the peaks of my writing so far. :3 Besides, I am a bit late - voting has already started...

I don't know why, but you're writing style seems different this time... I like it  :twothumbs
I love how you expressed Eri's feelings in this. They go to a whole new level :thumbsup

For some reason my favourite part was:
Quote
Look at me, Risa.  Look at what I’m doing.  Can’t you see it?  I’m not a kid – I know how to love.  But why can’t you see what I feel?

You never fail to impress me, Shicchan :inlove:

“Don’t you get it, Gaki-san?”  I pulled our hands out of her pocket, and stepped closer to her stiff figure before whispering the three words I had always wanted to say, pressing my lips against her own.

“I love you.”

FIrst off, I'm just a wee bit sad that the story wasn't longer. I wanna be able to read KameMame fics for ever and Ever and EVER!

I squealed when I read the Gaki-san taking Eri's hands putting them in her pocket part. Seriously! :wub: And it's nice having Eri liking Risa for a change. It's almost always Eri being the girl everyone likes. Though it's not hard to see why :D

Gaaaah. I'm too lazy to do comment replies, but be assured that I read them all... And thank you everyone. :)  My AP Exams are over, and I thought I'd have more time, but it turns out that I won't have as much free time as I though I would. I'll have some, but not a lot. It's sufficient to write a little more often, though.  My school's just stupid and won't let AP classes do nothing, so we're forced to do projects. -.-;;

Here's the next fic... It's a humor, so please enjoy! (After I edit it before posting of course.)

Risa’s eyes darted towards the elevators again.  “Didn’t…Kame give you her phone to put in your bag?  She left hers…at…home…”


Pause.





Extended pause.



“…Oooooooh…”

“…God dammit Sayu.  You suck.”  Reina cursed, shoving her friend’s shoulder.  “Gaki-san thanks…Huh?  She’s gone.”
Aw sunnovabitch!

PIN:  122388_

ACCESS GRANTED


“We’re in!”

“Wait, how’d you know the last numbers?”

“Eri was born in ’88.  What else would she put for the rest of the code?”

“…”
Well, Eri did say that she had more numbers...doesn't mean though that other people (especially the other members) wouldn' t be able to figure them out.  :doh:



Quote
“ERI’S DATING SOMEONE!” Sayumi screeched, dropping the phone as she inspected one of the new photos.

“Shh!!!” Reina ran over to the bunny’s side, snatching Eri’s phone from the table.  “Are you sure?”

“Just look!!”

“…Wow, I didn’t know Eri was into the shorter ones.  He’s got good hair, though.”
AH! SOU KA!!!/me looks up and sees a lit lightbulb above his head.

*REINA FIGURES IT OUT*

Quote
“Eri?”  Sayumi stared at the door as it opened, revealing the head of a disheveled turtle who just had Reina run into her full force.  “Eri…hi.”

“Heya, Sayu!”  Eri grinned.  “What’s up with Reina?  She just rammed into me and ran outta here like the devil saw her or somethin’.”

“…Eri, your shirt is buttoned up all wrong.”

“Eh?” Eri looked down at herself.  “Oh no, not again!  I swear, buttons are all against me…”

“And your fly is open.”

“EEEEEH!?!?!” Eri shouted, diverting her attention to her jeans.  “Oh my god, Sayu, thank you… God that’s embarrassing…”
Hey, has anyone seen Aichan recently?  :pimp:



Quote
*ERI'S REAL CODE AND KEITAI WP*
OSNAP!!! SECRET CODE!!!
:rockon:

That's actually quite ingenious. I mean, having a decoy WP and set of pics? Niiiiiiiiiiiiice. :yep:

Obvious that Eri's secret code is the Konami "universal" code...but the "5, 7, 3" part doesn't ring a bell. :?



Quote
Sayumi wandered the numerous hallways of the company’s building, mulling over the conversation she had with Eri mere moments ago.  Then something struck her that made her eyes go wide and her breath catch in her throat.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about…”

“HER!?”
:wahaha:

*ahem* where was I?  oh right!  Brilliant!  Not so much Sayu and Reina...cause they weren't the brightest light bubs  XD  but you certainly are.   :twothumbs

lol love the crazy devil bunny..and I love how Reina's the good friend that gets poorly abused XD

oh so many things I love about this fic!  It's definitely one of my favourite fics of the month!

Yeah, so I wrote this just to see what it'd be like to make Reina the lovestruck one. xD Next up is either that AiEri continuation/parallel (I'm still hesitating on part of it since it's not coming naturally) or a GakiKame.  Or maybe even a prequel to this one. (Explaining why Sayu was there.)

AiEri would be great  :grin:

Anyone realize what I was playing on? Reina's always said that Eri's the cutest in MM, and Sayu says she loves Eri because she's just herself, and Sayu kinda looks up to that. She's all full of human kindness...or something like that. :D 12.3 coming very soon.

Extra note #1:  There are no definite pairings in #12.  Pick what you like. :3
Extra note #2:  I tried to write that AiEri continuation, but every time I started, I couldn't. It just didn't come naturally, and I can't stand my writing when I feel uncomfortable with it. To those of you looking forward to it, I'm sorry. D:

Btw, to clear things up... [12.1] happens after [12.2] and [12.3], which pretty much happen at the same time. (: [12.4] will take place at the same time as [12.1]. Sounds confusing, but it shouldn't be when I actually post the chapter.

TakaGaki was really cute though and I would do anything to see Risa as a lifeguard dressed in a red swim suit. Baywatch anyone? XD

Just read all 3 parts!

instructor Eri is like the Erified version of player Ai chan.  Her smoothness cracks me up XD

Angry kitty is awesome!

It goes against the laws of the social norm!  Working out just isn’t for girls who look good without doing anything!

lol narcissism at it's finest XD

awww Sayu wrote Eri's name on her palm! So Cute! XD

Quote
She jumped off of the machine and wiped at her forehead with the towel she had stolen from me earlier.

lol poor Gaki...it's Reina's now, isn't it? XD

I think after the 4th part most of your readers will feel this crazy urge to sign up for swimming lessons even though they may already know how to swim XD  lol I felt that urge...then I remember that I did take lessons before...no turtle sightings XD

[12.4] Conference

[STORY HERE]


End



Ahahaha... Pointless 4th part of my fic, I know, but I couldn't think of much. XD As I said before, you guys pick which pairing you like best. :P For anyone who's lost, 12.4 happens right after 12.1. 12.2 & 12.3 happened before 1 & 4. Too many numbers? I'm sorry. XD

I'll try to update later today with my oneshot too. (I'll be working hard on it!) For anyone who's curious, it's for Sayumi. :3

(I'll reply to the Poolside comments later... xD I wanna do it all at once.)

Wow, all of your writing is really great, some angsty, most sweet. So far, I think I like the poolside happenings the most out of all of them. I don't know why exactly, maybe those sexy swim instructors lol.

“Hey, Gaki-san, isn’t that Takahashi-san over there?”

“Ai-chan?  Where?” Gaki-san turned on her heels and turned her head around left and right, searching for her student that I had claimed was there.  I grinned and took my chance while I had it.  My quiet footsteps sped up, and before she could return her gaze to me, I placed my palm on her shoulder and gave her a firm shove.  With her classic “uwwaaaaaaahh”, she fell into the water, creating a giant splash (for her size, anyway) and startling the nearby children.  I snickered when her head surfaced; she looked like a drowned rat!  She glared back at me, but I didn’t mind.  I only laughed more, which caused her stern look of irritation to break down into the full smile I knew so well.  Waving her arms around, she began to sink into the water, silently calling me to “save her”.  I shook my head and dived in right after her.


“How about we go grab a bite to eat?” I suggested.

“…”

“…”

“…You forgot your wallet again, didn’t you?”

“Ehehehe…”


Perhaps my two favorite parts of the story. These had me laughing. I love the relationship you portrayed between GakiKame.

OMG I LURVE THIS CHAPTER
You know, with the whole GakiKame flirting, tsukkomi/boke moments and the teasing  :inlove:

Mmmm....sexy swim instructors GakiKame. :drool: They're really cute, teasing each other all the time and (kinda) gossiping about their students. And this fic is exactly why I can't see them as more than friends. :lol: They're just too awesome as friends. :w00t:

Waa~~ I love your writing style Shikyo! :twothumbs Very detailed and kept me interested throughout. I've yet to read all of them but the ones I've read are awesome. The funny ones are very funny and the dramatic ones are very dramatic. And the pics you've added to some are a great touch. I love all the little details about Eri that only eriens would know. Reminds me how really fanatic I was about her back then, though I've calmed down about it lately you certainly picked up where I left off. As Erien Godmother I am proud! :luvluv2:

hmm, a bit overdramatic there?  :sweatdrop: hehe

Aww, cute, sweet (a bit wet :drool: ) GakiKame :wub: I definitely choose this pairing :D Actually, I must say that GakiKame is my second favourite pairing, they are just so cute and funny with Gaki being the responsible one and Eri being the total airhead XD A perfect match :lol: or maybe its just because GakiKame means that Ai and Reina are free this way... I'm bad :P

Yay there's been a crazy flurry of updates this week...had a hard time deciding on what I wanted to read first.  Of course, some crazy turtle fun won me over  :on woohoo:

and fun this chapter certainly was!  lol I love how Eri and Gaki scare the heck out of each other  :onionwhip:

Quote
My nose brushed that of my closest friend’s, and I couldn’t help but yelp again when she leaned her face in, jokingly asking for a kiss.  Blood rushed to my face as a consequence of the sudden adrenaline rush, turning my tan skin into a soft shade of pink.

*gasp*  this is like a GakiKame story while not being one at the same time!  as if it's not already hard enough deciding on the pairing to root for in this story  :farofflook:

Quote
I squinted a bit at…the bush behind her at the opposite end of the pool, I guess.   “Hey, Gaki-san, isn’t that Takahashi-san over there?”

lol I secretly hope that Ai chan really is in the bushes spying on Gaki.  It would make for such a cute side story XD

looks like Eri's thoughts are shifting towards Reina!  Sayu better do something quick in the next chapter!

hehe Post 1000 goes to ShiYa chan

Advantageous Inconvenience


Quote
She was lifting weights with her legs

 :drool:


Quote
So um… What do I start with?”

“Mmm… How ‘bout I take your profile first?”  Reaching over the desk, she pulled out a clipboard with a paper and pen attached.  “Ever play any sports in high school?  Or maybe out of school?  Like tennis or basketball?”

“No…” Tick.

“Do you work out according to a schedule?”

“No…” Scribble scribble.

“How active are you?”

“Not very…” Scribble scribble scribble.

“Three times per week?”

“Try none…” I mumbled.

“…”

“…”

 XD



Steady Instruction


Quote
She placed the clipboard down and I reached up, taking it so that I could file it away for future reference.  That idea, however, was quickly thrown out the window when I looked at the paper attached.  Instead of professional writing and information, I found doodles (mostly turtles) and random pen scribbles all over the page.  I snorted slightly, trying to contain my laughter while looking at the document.  At the bottom was written “Gaki-san, I’m booooored.  Let’s go out for lunch or something later.  Senpai’s treat?  Pleeeeeeaaaaseeee????”

 :rofl:



Conference


Quote
“Gaki-san, you nearly gave me a heart attack!”

“Not like you don’t give me one every time you forget your wallet during lunch.”

 :rofl:

Waving her arms around, she began to sink into the water, silently calling me to “save her”.  I shook my head and dived in right after her.

#13. Letters [Koko ni Iru yo]

[STORY HERE]


--


HEEEEEEEEEEEY. I'M BACKKKKKKK~ After a year, yes I know. I'm ready to take whatever you guys wanna hit me with. *cover self with pillows* I apologize to everyone. ^^; I think I've gotten rather rusty, so do excuse me if this isn't up to par. But at least it's something? Right? *expects to be hit right about now with something*

Okay, so I originally planned to photoshop the letter (the stuff Ai wrote) to make it look way better, but the forum kept resizing the picture and it annoyed me to death, so I opted out. Sorry guys. ^^; AND! As always, songs give me lots of inspiration, and well... I guess you could say this song is pretty important to me. :] As in the title, it's called Koko ni Iru yo. (I'm here.)
Koko ni Iru yo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbfoDV_DvUA#)


I'll try to get writing more, I promise. ^^; As I said before, still got some things in the works. But good news aside from fic work - if any of you are interested in my education at all, I got 5's on all my AP exams! :D Woo~ Alright, 'til next time~ :3

@kawaii beam - Eek! Confetti, wow! XD Hahaha, thanks~
@badsaints - I love how you already knew about Soba ni Iru ne. :D Well...you read my mind!
@rndmnwierd - Sequel now!

Sooooo...as said before, there's a response song:  Soba ni Iru ne by Aoyama Thelma. I'll link it after the sequel.  But there's a catch.  The sequel wasn't actually written by me.  It was written by GoodMorningXD over at H!O. I'm posting for her here since she doesn't have an account said I was gonna have to. XD :] So enjoy~ *copies/pastes*

Part 2 of ShiykoxYaiba's Koko ni Iru yo (http://"http://www.hello-online.org/index.php?showtopic=9365&st=260").
I have other completed fics, but no internet on my laptop so no posting. I'm typing this one up my hand only because it is 7/11 in Japan.

Soba ni Iru ne

[STORY HERE]

Wow, that was really bad. I apologize. ^^;
And yes, this is based on the coupled song Soba ni Iru ne, which I'm sure you can Google because this damn Japanese keyboard still fails me. Again, my apologies.
