Story :: Gundam SEED, DeaMiri :: "A Little Flickering Flame"

kurumi_fuji@yahoo.com — Thu, 09 Jun 2005 04:08:57 GMT

Okay, I just made a DearkaxMiriallia story over here:

* * *

Title: A Little Flickering Flame
Author: kurumi_chan/katya_jule-- AKA ME! :3
Date: June 7 2005
Fandom: Gundam SEED/Gundam SEED Destiny
Rating: G to PG
Description: Miriallia Haww thinks back at the time before the war, when she and Tolle were still together. She is interrupted from her thoughts by a certain ZAFT Pilot. Sort of. Tolle x Miriallia x Dearka. :p Sort of. Oh, the summary is SO lame. -dies-
Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam SEED, or the characters, though I wish I did. And because I have a terribly short memory when it comes to the anime, the flashback lines mentioned here are from the manga translated by Del Rey. Enjoy. :3 And, by the way, let’s say they’re in a normal neighborhood somewhere. @_@ Like, on vacation with the other characters in a rest house? XDDD;

(Beware ze fake LJ-cut. TOUCHE!)

* * *

The computer was so darn slow when I tried to put the story in this LJ, so I gave up and posted it over at the other one. *dies* :D Like, hi everyone! ^__^

Oh, and on an off-topic note, I watched Shaman King last night, and.. man, Tao Ren is cute. XDDDD Super arrogant, yeah, and horrible accent and haircut (or at least the spike), but remove the accent and spike and he'll be the best character ever! XDDDDDDD Lol. Anyway, Lily and Ellie or something (my spelling sucks today) are my favorite characters in that girl team.

My brother was like, "Now Shaman King is getting interesting."
ME: "YES! I CORRUPTED--I mean, converted--ANOTHER ONE!"
My brother went, "I liked Shaman King even before you did."
ME: "You did a good job of hiding it, by saying that it was so childish and kiddy, then."
My brother: "..."

Man, he's Shinji inside out.
Oh, and Shinn Asuka is HOT. *melts*

Ciao!

Story :: Prince of Tennis, RyomaSakuno :: "Never-Ending Rain"

kurumi_fuji@yahoo.com — Fri, 06 May 2005 11:37:53 GMT

I felt all RyomaSakuno-y a while ago, and while waiting for my turn to use the computer, wrote this on my notebook, which, when I got on, typed and am posting here. ^__^ RyomaSakuno is my favorite PoT pairing, as it is just adorable! ♥ If you want to request a fic, just comment on this entry or any of the others, I really don't mind. Of course, reviews are more than welcome! :D

Title: Never-Ending Rain
Date: Started and Ended May 6 2005
Fandom: Prince of Tennis/Tennis no Oujisama
Rating: G to PG
Description: This ficcy is for hanjae, who is probably far, far away from her computer. :( RyomaSakuno, one shot. Reviews/comments welcome. :p Flames ~~welcome~~ tolerated. :P I hope it's not too sappy. Oh, and I don't own PoT.

A brown-haired girl shivers as, clutching her umbrella, the cold rain falls on the wet earth, never ceasing to elicit looks from the people around them, who want the sun to shine once more. It hasn’t stopped, she thinks. It hasn’t stopped yet. That thought, whirling around in her mind, makes her sigh.

As she walks, she thinks of her friend Tomo-chan, who is at home caring for her younger siblings. The pig-tailed girl had left school right at dismisal time on the orders of her parents, whereas SHE had stayed to clean up the classroom with her fellow classmates. Now she wonders if she had made the right choice.

It’s not like I don’t like the rain, she says to herself. That’s not it...

The rain, the sky. They all reflect how sad the brunette had been at school earlier that day. During Math class, the teacher called on her when she wasn’t listening. After extracting the cookies she had baked during Home Economics from the oven, a bully had tripped her, sending cookies flying everywhere.

As the girl walks up the sidewalk to the stoplight, she looks around at the others near her. A little girl eating ice cream, regardless of the cold weather... A businessman looking at his watch, tapping his foot impatiently against the ground... A boy in a cap, with a tennis bag over his shoulder, the rain dripping down his clothes... A stray dog...

A boy in a cap? The girl starts and looks back at who is beside her, her mouth forming the words, "Ryoma-kun?"

The black-haired boy turns to look at her with a deadpan expression. The long-haired girl says in worry, as she studies him, "Ryoma-kun! You’re so wet...!" She raises her umbrella over his head, unmindful of the stares of those around her. "Why didn’t you bring a jacket? It's been raining since this morning..."

Echizen Ryoma looks up at the sky-blue umbrella, and then back down at her, "You don’t have to, you know..." The light turns green, and the passers-by begin to walk across the street. Sakuno notices, and looks at Ryoma to follow her.

She says, "You have to be careful of your health, Ryoma-kun... You won’t be able to play tennis if you get sick..." She seems to reprimand him like a mother would, albeit more gently. It reminds the tennis player of something...

The two don’t notice that, as they speak, the sky starts to clear up, and the sun begins to let a few of its rays shine on the dark street. When he looks, Ryoma says, "Hey, look, the sun..."

He holds Sakuno’s hand and closes the umbrella for her as the sun begins to show itself more and more that late afternoon. Of course, he doesn't notice Sakuno turn bright red and pull her hand away. Ryoma then hands the girl her umbrella, adjusts his cap on his hand and says, "I'll be going now..." He turns and walks in the direction of his home, leaving Sakuno on the sidewalk, staring after him with a tinge of pink on her cheeks.

Ryoma-kun.. When his figure finally disappears into the distance, she blushes and looks up at the sky, which seems to smile at her. Sakuno Ryuzaki smiles back and murmurs, so softly that nobody can hear her:

"Thank you very much.."

* * *

And on a not-so-sappy note... Belated Happy Birthday, LJ! *hugs it* The birthday of the journal kurumi_chan is April 25, 2004. Yay! :D Now it’s one year old! Cheers! *pops champagne* :)

Story :: Tantei Gakuen Q, MegKyu :: “Luvly, Merry- Go-Round”

kurumi_fuji@yahoo.com — Thu, 28 Apr 2005 10:39:11 GMT

Well... So... Here! A gift to you guys before I leave tomorrow night at eleven o’ clock. :D Once again, it’s not that good, maybe mildly amusing, but nothing much. >_> I guess I’ll get lots of ideas on the twelve-hour trip ~~when I’m awake, anyway, and not daydreaming/dreaming of Fuji. XD~~. @_@ Oops, that seemed a bit off-topic, didn’t it? Y’know, someone should put up a Tantei Gakuen Q community on LiveJournal. I’d definitely join it! *looks around*

This is way late for April Fool's.. T-T This is for.. nyurotik_onna, I think. Unless you're mad at me. >_< Or something. =_=

* * *

Title: Luvly, Merry-Go-Round
Date: April 28 2005
Fandom: Tantei Gakuen Q
Rating: G to PG
Description: Class Q has a case to solve...at a carnival! Reviews/comments welcome. Flames ~~welcome~~ tolerated. :P (Oh, and I don't own Tantei Gakuen Q. Or the song. Which is from TGQ. Sigh. Life can be so unfair.)

It was a bright, sunny May morning when Dan Morihiko, the principal of Dan Detective School, told Class Q of a tip they had received from an anonymous phone call earlier that day. What he told them had made the computer whiz raise his eyebrows and say, “You’re kidding, Mr. Dan.” But no one could argue with the head of the detective school.

It was a bright, sunny May afternoon when Megumi Minami, Kazuma Narusawa, Kintaro Touyama, Ryuu Amakusa, and, last but not least, Kyu, arrived at what could be a scene of a crime: the city carnival. The place was packed with people, mostly Japanese or tourists.

“Wow, look at all the people here!” Megumi said in awe, her pink pigtails bobbing as she ran ahead of everyone else. “This must be a pretty popular place at this time of year.” The young girl had the gift of photographic memory, something she was proud of but gave her slight problems at times. “We’re so lucky!”

Ryuu said, “Well, this carnival only happens on one day every five years. Of course people would want to attend it.” He was already moving closer to Megumi and Kyu, behind Kinta, because he felt uneasy, as if some people were watching him.

Kinta and Kyu were actually checking out a number of short-skirted girls a few meters away. But the schoolgirls weren’t paying the two the least bit of attention-- their eyes were stuck on the blue-haired bishounen.

“Well, it seems like you guys don’t need me,” Kazuma said, as he inched towards the exit. “So, I’m going home now!” He had only begun to run when Kinta grabbed him by his collar and said, “Hey, hey, you’re not going anywhere until we finish whatever Mr. Dan wants us to do.”

Kazuma let out a sigh; he didn’t like being in places with lots of people. But, noo... They just had to be assigned to check out a carnival. The brown-haired boy had absolutely nothing against carnivals. But, the fact was, he would rather spend his time inside an air-conditioned room, typing away at his computer, and maybe with a cup of ramen.

Kyu said excitedly, “Aw, come on, don’t be such a spoilsport, Kazuma! It’s going to be fun here, you’ll see!” The black-haired boy was already eager to begin whatever they had to do, case or no case.

“Well, the fact is, Kyu, we’re not here to have fun,” Megumi said seriously, though her tone showed that she was disappointed. “We’re supposed to look for...suspicious people, aren’t we?” she asked him.

Kyu frowned. “Well, Meg,” he pointed out, “everyone here looks suspicious!”

He was right. By the Tunnel of Love, there were several teenagers who looked like gangsters, with tattoos, in all black, with sunglasses covering their eyes. Smoking cigarettes. There were old men drinking beer and laughing loudly by the brightly lighted carousel, and little children with nasty, malicious looks in their eyes practically everywhere.

Megumi looked around and sweatdropped. “Yeah, that’s right.”

After a few moments of uneasy silence, Kinta turned to them and said triumphantly, “Hey, you guys, I have an idea!”

“We’re all ears, Kinta,” Ryuu said politely.

The self-proclaimed martial arts expert struck a pose and pointed with one finger to the Ferris wheel. “THERE!” he exclaimed.

Everyone looked to the direction he was pointing at. “What’s there, Kinta?” Kazuma asked with a deadpan expression.

Kinta threw up his arms in exasperation. “Don’t you guys get it?!” he said in mock impatience. “If we go and ride the Ferris wheel, we’ll be able to see everything and everyone, especially from that height! Plus we’ll get to see lots of pretty girls... ehehehe...” he added under his breath. Unfortunately, everyone heard that remark.

Kyu said enthusiastically, “That’s a great idea, Kinta!” He turned to the rest of his classmates and said, “Why don’t we? No one can say we’re not doing our job, because we’ll be looking for people. And, besides, it’s a carnival, it’s going to be a lot of fun!”

Ryuu agreed, “Alright then. So, how will we go on the Merry-go-round?” He looked up at the giant contraption, and then added, “I think one can only hold two people.”

“How about we draw lots?” Kazuma suggested. “I’ve got some paper here...” He took a piece of notebook paper from his pocket and gave it to Megumi, who tore it up and wrote down her friend’s names. As she did so, she noticed something. “Um, you guys...” she said. “We’re an odd number. Five. What are we going to do now?”

“Well, whoever’s left out can ride with a random person. I mean,” Kazuma shrugged smugly, “there are a lot of girls who probably don’t want to ride alone...” He glanced over at the girls’ direction. Ryuu shivered.

Kinta and Kyu suddenly said out loud, “Um... I’ll go alone!!” And then they stared at each other with evenly matched expressions. Megumi stepped in the middle of them and said, irritated, “Hey...that’s why we’ve got the draw lots, right?”

Kazuma picked out the pairings with his eyes closed and glasses in Kinta’s hands to ensure no cheating or anything like it. The pairings, as he finished, were as follows:

Meg and Kyu would sit together, followed by Kinta and Kazuma (“Aw, geez,” the young boy groaned), and Ryuu would, sadly, be alone. The blue-haired boy said quickly, though, “It’s okay, I’ll sit by myself” before anyone could call the girls over.

Kyu grabbed Megumi’s hand before she could protest, and said, “Alrighty then! Come on, Meg, let’s go!” He started running towards the entrance of the ride to get tickets. Kinta and Kazuma looked at each other and shrugged, following them. Ryuu went after the two K’s, albeit more slowly and calmly.

When the man told them the price for the tickets, Kyu started. “What...?” He searched his pockets frantically, earning him strange, weirded-out stares from the people around him. Finally he looked up at Meg and said, his eyes overflowing with *sparkly* anime tears, “I forgot my wallet...!”

Megumi felt a vein pulse in her forehead, and she reached into her pocket to get her wallet. “Okay, okay, I’ll pay,” she said slowly, handing the man what she had in her wallet. Kyu said gratefully, “Thank you so much, Meg!” “...It’s nothing,” the pink-haired girl said, embarrassed, and she took the tickets from the man and entered where the carriage they would be sitting in. “Come on, get in!”

Kazuma and Kinta paid for each of their tickets without a fuss, as did Ryuu. The two had entered their carriage when Ryuu felt a tap on his shoulder. Fearing the worst, he turned around...only to see Class A’s Yukihira.

“Oh, hi, Yuki,” he said, calmly. “What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at DDS?”

The dark-blue-haired girl said matter-of-factly, “It’s my mom’s birthday so we’re celebrating.” She added, looking around shiftily, “Hey, are you riding with anyone? Because there are a lot of perverts here and I don’t want to take my chances... Not that I can’t handle them, of course.”

Ryuu, relieved, said, “Well, alright then.” After paying for their tickets, the two sat in the nearest carriage, opposite each other, each doing their own thing: Ryuu looking out for any ‘suspicious people’, and Yukihira texting on her cellphone.

In Meg and Kyu’s carriage, the black-haired boy was staring at the view down below, when he said, “You know, Meg, the problem with Kinta’s theory is, we can only see little dots as small as ants from up here.”

The pink-haired girl said slowly, “Well, let’s just do what we can.” It was then she stood up to look at the carriages in front of them, when Kyu noticed...

"Hey, Meg, it's blue with fluffy clouds today!" he said in surprise. "I thought you didn't like blue--"

Megumi's ears perked up and she turned to Kyu with her fist in the air. "Kyu, you pervert!!" she screamed, and hit him right there in the kisser. The scream could be heard to way down on the ground, and so could the impact of the blow.

"OWW! Hey, Meg, that hurt!"

"Will you ever learn, Kyu?!"

From his seat, Kazuma burst out laughing. "Kyu did it again, huh?" he said, tears forming in his eyes. "He just had to do it now!"

Kinta was doubled over in laughter. "Ah, those two never fail to amuse me.." he said in gasps.

In their carriage, Yukihira and Ryuu started from the noise (how could they not? All the birds in the surrounding area promptly flew away when they heard it.), the girl standing up and saying, "Oh, what's wrong now?" She almost dropped her cellphone on the floor, she was that surprised.

Ryuu said quietly, "Kyu peeked again.."

Yukihira touched her forehead with her finger. "Oh, just great.." she breathed.

They had all forgotten about the case..

* * *

It was already late when they got a call from Principal Dan, from his office at DDS. Kyu told him about everything that happened, of course, absently including in the color of..

Mr. Dan winced as he heard someone get hit on the other side of the line.

When Kyu was done speaking, he said apologetically, "Sorry, Class Q, but apparently that was just a prank. You can return home now, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Everyone except Yukihira groaned.

Mr. Dan continued, "But this time, we got a call that seems to be for real. It appears that a robbery has happened near the beach. Of course, that is, if you're up to it.."

"Leave it to Class A this time, Mr. Dan," Kazuma said tiredly into the phone. "Just leave it to them."

=_= ..I was inspired today, but.. maybe some things are better left off unwritten? @_@

Story :: Gundam SEED, KiraLacus :: "Once Upon A Time"

kurumi_fuji@yahoo.com — Fri, 22 Apr 2005 08:13:43 GMT

I was pretty bored a while ago and so decided to make a KiraLacus fic. :D One good thing about this one is, it matches my LJ title. XD! I don't know, for some reason I dedicate this ficcy to inparusu. >_> I hope it isn't too weird!

* * *

Title: Once Upon A Time
Date: April 22 2005
Fandom: Gundam SEED
Rating: G to PG
Description: Lacus thinks about what would happen if life were really a fairytale. KiraLacus, one shot. The first part is through Lacus’ POV, ten years old. (That’s why her writing is so childish. =_=||) Reviews/comments welcome. Flames ~~welcome~~ tolerated. :P (Oh, and I don't own Gundam SEED. T_T Which is sad.)

Father doesn’t like it when I dream, he really doesn’t. But how can I not? Everything I see makes me think I’m living in fairytale. And, he gives me the books to read anyway. Sleeping Beauty is my favorite one, and when he’s not busy he reads it to me at bedtime. Other times I read it to myself.

My house is like the castle in the book. It’s nice and big and everyone inside has a nice time. Everyone works hard. My house is always clean, especially my room, because I clean it by myself! Father gives me a big hug when he sees it and lets me eat some ice cream-- strawberry, my favorite flavor! But I hardly see anyone sleeping, because I sleep before they do. In the book everyone falls asleep, even on the floor! Isn’t that weird?

Father is the king. He doesn’t spoil me, but he gives me what he thinks is important for me. If I’m good he buys me presents, usually clothes, but when I’m bad, he tells me to be good again because that’s the way he likes me. I always say yes because I don’t like seeing Father sad. When Father is sad I feel sad, too.

I don’t have a Mommy, but if I had, she would be the queen. She’s in a pretty place in the sky where she’s happy. I talk to her, sometimes, when I’m alone, but she never talks back. It’s sad. Maybe it’s because the place she is in is really far away, and her voice is so soft that I can’t hear it.

And I’m the princess. I can sing, like Princess Aurora. I can’t say I’m beautiful, but Father says I am. But a fairy hasn’t come up to tell me that I’ll get pricked by a spinning wheel and die, or even that I’ll just fall asleep. But if my life were a fairytale, a person would tell me that something’s missing. I know what is.

I don’t have any prince in my life yet. I don’t know if I ever will. I don’t care if he’ll be strikingly handsome, or anything that Princess Aurora’s prince is like. But one thing I know is, I’d like someone who really cares about others...

* * *

Lacus smiled as she finished reading one of her entries in her diary. Is that what I thought life was like? she chuckled to herself. She didn’t blame her ten-year old self one bit, though. Life really was peaceful back then. She wouldn’t have expected a war to happen, either.

“Lacus-sama?” a voice called for the pink-haired girl from outside. Foster knocked on her door lightly. “Lacus-sama? A Kira Yamato is here for you,” he told her. He knew that the girl loved the boy’s company, something the old man was happy about.

The blue-eyed girl said cheerily, “Coming!” As she said that, Lacus took her pen and wrote in her neat, cursive writing, on the last page of her diary...

I’ve found my prince.

THE END.

And with that, Lacus closed the book, got out of bed, and started down the stairs.

~ owari ~

EDIT: Thanks to mizu_no_cagalli for noting that Lacus' eye color is blue, not purple. @_@ I should have noticed that!!

Challenge # 1: FujiRyo ficcy for jgal87-san

kurumi_fuji@yahoo.com — Fri, 22 Apr 2005 03:36:06 GMT

Alright! I finally finished the challenge of Jgal-san. :D Well, it’s not that good ~~as usual~~ but it’s...tolerable? x_x

* * *

Title: Untitled [I haven’t thought of any suitable for this. Suggestions? ^_^]
Date: Started April 20 2005, Ended April 22 2005
Fandom: Prince of Tennis/Tennis no Oujisama
Rating: G to PG
Description: This is the short ficcy I made for jgal87-san. :D FujiRyo, one shot. Reviews/comments welcome. :p Flames ~~welcome~~ tolerated. :P Oh, and I don't own PoT.

Ryoma Echizen rolls his eyes as he walks in the city park that fine, sunny Sunday afternoon. He has spent half the day away from his house, away from his father, who is undoubtedly ~~reading pR0n magazines~~ lazing around the house, and his cousin Nanako. The reason? Nanako had requested that morning for the sluggish man to do some tasks around the house-- and to the college student, the word some meaning any number less than twenty. Or at least when it came to handling chores. Nanjiroh had, of course, tried to con Ryoma into handling it, the jobs consisting of mowing the lawn, tidying here and there around the house, so on, so forth. The black-haired boy had then left the house immediately, his excuse being ‘self-training’, though Nanjiroh knew very well that that wasn’t true.

Ryoma adjusts the tennis bag on his shoulders, and takes a sip of the already-warm Ponta he has been holding for almost half an hour. He shakes the can lightly, and hears the drops of water rattling around inside. There is hardly anything left, and he lifts and is about to throw the can into the nearest wastebasket when he hears a familiar voice say his name.

“Echizen?”

Ryoma raises his head and sees a tall figure, wearing a comfortable white polo and pants. “Fuji-sempai.” He accidentally drops the can, but doesn’t make a move to pick it up. What is the upperclassman doing on an afternoon like this? He looks down to see a number of shopping bags in his hands. “Shopping?”

Fuji smiles, as he usually does. “Neesan was busy, so I offered to do it.” He notices Ryoma’s tennis bag, and queries, “Have you been playing tennis?” Ryoma answers coolly, “Not today.” Curious as to why the black-haired boy was carrying around his tennis bag when he had not been playing, Fuji asks him. Ryoma doesn’t want to lie to the older student, but figures he has to, in case Fuji would ‘accidentally’ tell someone...

A thought comes into his mind.

No. Fuji-sempai wouldn’t tell anyone.

The freshman confesses reluctantly that he is ‘hiding’ from his dad and older cousin, and all the while Fuji listens intently, as if he is very used to younger students telling him things like that. When Ryoma finishes, Fuji pauses and offers, “Why don’t you come with me for a while? I have another chore to do.”

Now, Ryoma isn’t sure whether he wants to accompany the brunette on whatever chore he had to do. In all honesty, he would rather spend his time wandering the streets, which was actually what he was doing before Fuji showed up. And he tells him so. Not in so many words, and in a way very unlike his usual blunt manner.

“I don’t want to interrupt you, Fuji-sempai.”

Fuji chuckles. “Of course not. I wouldn’t ask you if it would disturb me, Echizen.”

The dark-haired boy pulls his cap down to cover up the fact that his eyes are somewhere else. “No thank you, sempai.” He finally bends down to pick up the Ponta can, tossing it over at the wastebasket. It goes in. Fuji lets the smile drop from his face, something he does so that people will show a kind of sympathy for him, but Ryoma seems unfazed. Inwardly, the brunette smiles.

“Why don’t you give it a try, Echizen,” Fuji says. “It’s nothing bad, I promise you. You might even like it.”

After a few minutes of cool conversation, Fuji leaves the park, smiling. But he isn’t alone, for he is trailed by a sulking, still stubborn Ryoma. Obviously Ryoma isn’t very up to spending half an hour, maybe the rest of the day with someone he doesn’t know all that well. Momoshiro is different, for the two have some things in common. But Fuji?

* * *

Ryoma blinks as Fuji leads him into a store where many people, the majority teenagers, are playing games. A game arcade? He looks up at Fuji, who looks like he goes there all the time. The upperclassman speaks to the man behind the counter, presumably about the tennis bag Ryoma is carrying. The man offers to keep the bag behind the counter, for it may be an obstruction to other customers. Ryoma refuses. Fuji speaks to the man for a little longer, in hushed tones, and after a while, Fuji looks back at the black-haired boy and motions for him to follow him.

“Is this your chore, Fuji-sempai?” Ryoma asks him, but his question is ignored. Fuji brings him into an adjacent room, separated from the main gamers’ room by a western-style door. Ryoma raises an eyebrow at this while Fuji turns on the lights. The lights illuminate a line of arcade games, lined up against the wall, a few old-fashioned stations --the kind where you have to kill aliens from outer space, et cetera-- and an air hockey table. Fuji speaks directly to Ryoma for the first time since they entered the place, “Is there anything you would like to play?”

Ryoma puts his tennis bag on top of one of the stations, wiping the top before he does so. When he looks at his hand, he finds it a little dusty, and wipes it on his shorts. He eyes the air-hockey table, and Fuji, noticing his gaze, says, “Air hockey it is.” The grocery bags he puts under the table. Fuji finds the paddles for the game and hands one to Ryoma, who is particularly confused. Is this a chore? He smirks. Fuji-sempai must be slacking off.

“Shall we begin?” Fuji asks, holding the paddle in his right hand. Ryoma pulls back his cap. “Of course, Fuji-sempai.” He was actually looking forward to it.

* * *

Outside the room, a certain St. Rudolph player moves controls and pushes buttons constantly, without any sign of stopping. Sweat beads his face, even though the air-conditioning is at full blast. With one swift move, he manages to destroy three aliens. “Got it!”

A black-haired boy wearing a white sweater with full red hearts finishes talking on his cellphone to another person, and turns to look at his companion. “Are you done yet, Yuuta-kun?” he asks.

Yuuta Fuji doesn’t turn to face him. “I told you that you didn’t have to accompany me, Mizuki-san.” He pauses the game and takes a gulp of water from his bottle. At this, Mizuki says, “Nonsense, Yuuta-kun. I don’t mind at all.”

The two have been in the game store even before Fuji and Ryoma entered. However, the tw,o for reasons unknown to mankind, hadn’t noticed them. Yuuta continues the game for a few minutes longer, and as he is about to make the top score...

The lights turn off.

Yuuta pounds the game station with his fists and says, “Damn! I thought I’d make it for sure.” Mizuki chuckles. “I think it’s time to return?” He moves a bit, then says, “But I’ll visit the men’s room first.” The brunette looks at him (or at least he thinks he does, for he cannot see a thing). “I think I’ll go, too” he says, and the two open the door to the adjoining room where Fuji and Ryoma were, game interrupted.

* * *

The two regulars stop moving as the lights turn off. Ryoma drops the paddle. “We never get to end anything, do we, sempai?”

Fuji smiles. “I suppose we should finish this?...” The two raise their paddles again, only for the door to open. “Is anyone there?” Yuuta asks. Fuji recognizes his brother’s voice. “Yuuta,” he says cheerily. “What are you doing here?” Yuuta isn’t smiling. “Trying to escape your calls?” he suggests.

Mizuki makes a comment, but no one hears it. The brunette looks over at his underclassman.

Fuji’s face shows disappointment, but barely. It isn’t obvious to those who don’t know him that well. “I thought we’d be able to finish at least this match, Echizen,” he says.

Ryoma lets out a sigh. “Mada mada dane, Fuji-sempai.”

You can also request/challenge me to make you a fanfic/fanart, anything from any show that I’ve watched. You can pick a relationship, a story arc, a missing scene, a random character, pretty much anything and I’ll make it for you. :)

Oh, and I’ve decided to follow jgal87-san and post my fanfiction/fanart as Public, because I bet some of my friends (maybe even teachers) are trying to see if I’m alive and all. XD If I’m in the mood, I might even post them in Communities, who knows. Lol. But the stuff I don’t post here will be at xxmarinebluexx, my fanfiction/fanart/poetry journal. :D Love! ♥

NOTE: Anything Else You May Need To Know

kurumi_fuji@yahoo.com — Wed, 20 Apr 2005 06:12:09 GMT

:: LJ-Related Things ::

Here is the guide to anything you may have wanted to know about Kurumi but were too lazy to ask/find out, like the anime and manga series she has watched and read, the blogcrews she has joined, and various miscellaneous things that do not belong anywhere in particular.

What is the reason behind the title of Kurumi's LJ? Do you want me to tell you? Well, since you clicked on the LJ-Cut, you should have. And you're going to end up reading it anyway, won't you?

Mukashi mukashi... Roughly translated, it means "Once upon a time", the very same phrase which begins many fairytales. And stories have always been an essential part of my life. Ever since I was a child, my parents and grandparents loved telling me stories: scary stories, fairytales about enchanted princesses and all that, what happened to them when they were younger, usually with historical references.. even Bible stories. And I always enjoyed listening to them. Their influence must be what made me decide to become a writer.

Also, I remember something Kikumaru said to Kaido in the episode "Kaido Becomes Ryoma" (Tennis no Oujisama), when Kaido didn’t want to fight against Momoshiro. 'Mukashi mukashi...' He told Kaido the story about the kid with an incurable illness, and then his hero, a tennis professional visited him and told him that if he won all his matches, the kid would be cured... You know. As I watched the episode, I couldn’t help laughing, due to Kikumaru’s cute voice telling the story. Anyway, it reminded me of another story of the girl who was told that she would be cured of this illness if she folded one thousand paper cranes. Something like that. You know, give a person hope, even if there really isn’t any left... Sort of.

Because of my love for stories, I decided to name my LJ :: mukashi mukashi ::. If you happen or have happened to add me, you will be thrown head-first into the ~~crack~~ world of fantasy, reality (and whatever is between) that is my life.

Scared off yet?
