Since I'm more of a one-shot fic writer, I figured I should start this for whenever I get an idea...Hope you guys will enjoy. Here's #1 that popped into my head last night. Spent almost two hours writing it by hand in bed. xD Finished at 2:03am... ._.

(Check the bottom hidden message if you wanna find out the pairing or if you want my full interpretation of my fic. I wanted this left open to other people's interpretation...so if you want mine first, scroll down. ^^)

[strawb3rrykream]

Aww!! I liked it. So cute yet heartbreaking at the same time. Good Job!

[heyyouhiya]

Why is everyone killing Eri lately!?
arghhhhh

Anyways
It was really cute
The letter was funny because it sounded so very Eri...like...yea...haha I can't express it lol

[JFC]

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

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.

[ShikyoxYaiba]

^...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*

Awwwwwwwww...ruin my fantasy.

[ShikyoxYaiba]

^I'm a party pooper like that.

Haha...I'm actually in the middle of another one-shot, but it's doomed to wait until my AP summer work is done. Curse procrastination. >.>;;

[stefy]

*tries squeezing tears from eye* ... hmm nth.

Very sweet.. in a very sad kinda way. I quite like your writing style Damn you for killing Eri though, but at least you didn't kill her brutally.

[lil_hamz]

Awwwww *sniff*, this was sad. stefy didn't cry but I did, a little. I'd rather it be GAKIKAME (I'm incredibly bias, I can't help it ) but I still think this was beautifully written. Pity Eri had to die in the end

[Sukoshi]

*Sukoshi throws hello kitty dolls at ShikyoxYaiba*  guns are too messy...plus I don't want to have to drag your body all the way over to that fictional cliff of yours but grrr!!! that's what you get for killing my favourite idol!  (double the grrr since the story was good)

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  

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

[KonaKaga]

Greta story! It's kind of a bittersweet one though
Just out of curiosity, what was Eri terminally ill with?

What's with the new generation of writers killing off members for their first stories O_O;

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

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  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

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

AAAAAH. THE HELLO KITTY. IT BUUUUUUURRNSSSS. 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."

...Now that you mention it, the stories really ARE similar. .____.;; Oh my. ('Cept Gaki-san and Reina didn't actually fall off the cliff. ) 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!! 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*

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!! Tee hee, I'm childish like that

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~!! Gawd, I must be known as the psycho who grimances and cries in front of the computer now

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

[ringo-hime]

would have been scary to find the person you love beside you dead.. T_T and they were just talking last night...waaaaaaaa....
that just made me cry ..... waaaa.
this is grand!!! 

[Sukoshi]

*Sukoshi looks for more hello kitty dolls to throw at SxY* drats...all out from last time....*shakes fist* just you wait until I reload on those then you'll know FEAR!   

*sigh*...I can't believe it....it's like you killed Eri all over again!  It was even more sad this time around....

*shakes head*  just look what you did to your dear fans....
hammy had to borrow leaves and cry in a cubicle and ringo is all creeped out and weepy and as for me?  well I'm a happy-sad camper cause I got to read more of your stuff

GJ

[strawb3rrykream]

Gah, stupid tears.... I don't know why all these fanfics are making me actually cry lately. It's a little embarassing~ NOOOOOOOO~ ERI~~~ WHY???
But it's a really good story, even if it makes me sad!

[ShikyoxYaiba]

[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.

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