Katana

I'm 13 and proud of it. I joined the OB when I was eleven years old, though, but I could've signed up sooner. I remember going to theOtaku.com when I was seven or eight and wondering just what the "OtakuBoards" was. XD So I finally clicked the link and was amazed at what I found. T_T;; I'm impressed at just how many younger people are here. I'm used to seeing people fifteen and up flaunt around...but then again, those figures only show people who've seen this thread...*sweatdrop* And yes, I'm an anime fan. Why else would I be here? ^_~

NAAA!!! *comes running in waving banner* *crashes into random object* Agh...okay, here. ^.^ These were some nifty images you supplied, and great quality...so here's my shot at a banner. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21807&stc=1[/img]

[img]http://img154.exs.cx/img154/4065/rkanniverserypsd5zl.jpg[/img] [color=royalblue][size=1]It was one year ago today that some weird kid by the name of Katana wandered into the Recruitment and created what would be a big hit on the OtakuBoards: Rurouni Kenshin: River of Time. The above is a picture I made...the only people that actually have images are Kaz, Yuki, and me. I had to change Kurumi's, because the link wasn't active, and had to improv on Kit and Yuka's. ^^; Attached is the Chibi Anniversery. XD ---------------------------------- "This," Katana replied in a chipper tone, "Is what we call Island of the Clones." "Since when?" "Since now." "Why island?" "'cause it sounds cool." "No it doesn't." "Yeah it does." "Nuh-uh." "Yeah-huh." "Nuh-uh." "Yeah-huh." "Nu-uh." "Yea-huh." Katana and Kurumi continued bickering while Yuka plopped down next to her clone, he hand on her squeaky hammer just in case. "Gah, relax, freaky kid." "Nooooooo...You look like me! Which is scary since guys don't wear kimonos and such-" "Hey kimono girl." Yuka looked up, fire filling her already insane eyes. "NOOOO!!! NOBODY CAN CALL ME KIMONO GIRL! [B]NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!![/B]" Everyone sweatdropped as Yuka began bashing her ancestor repeatidly, which soon drew the attention of the rest of the group. "Ken-kun!" Saladin greeted immediately, a silly grin on his face. "Haven't seen you in [i]years[/i]. How's it goin'?" Kenshin smiled as Kaoru surveyed her surroundings. "God!" she exclaimed. "One of each of you is enough already - but now there's [i]more[/i]?" "Hey, we were the original," Jese said. With a considerable afterthought, and looking Kaoru over, he added, "But I can make an exception - OW!" The Kaz-women had punched Jese square in the jaw. "You pimp! You're [b]mine[/b]!" "Right, right..." "And why is it I can see the resemblance?" Sanouske muttered, sweatdropping as Saladin began punching Kenshin playfully in the arm, then sending him through a screen, Jese was being pummeled by his girlfriend, and Yuki sat in a corner, sobbing at how she lost her job. -------------------------- It's short 'cause I can't think! *cricket* LIKE USUAL!!! [Link]I just used chibis I found on a sheet from the Ragnarok Online game. So really, only Kaz looks the same because that's where he got his character image from. ^^;; [url=http://img154.exs.cx/img154/1315/rkchibianniverserypsd6ho.jpg]Chibiness![/url][/size][/color]

[size=1][color=royalblue]For the sake of the RPG, I'll post...even if I have [i]nothing[/i]... ------------------------------- Ciarra and Arian continued on through the dense forest, Arian knocking down trees and Ciarra pointing out random obstacles in the night. A full moon was hanging overhead, shining in the forest, drenching all the green in a mesh of silver and white. Arian clenched her fist tighter. Something in this forest wasn't right. "Did you hear that?" Ci said quickly, stopping dead in her tracks. "No...What did it sound like?" "A rustle...multiple rustles...something...[i]unhuman[/i]..." Arian relaxed her muslces and listened intenrly. Suddenly, a huge creature lunged from the underbrush and clamped her to the ground. It snapped in ferocity, and growled as Ciarra attempted to get near it. "Gah...Gotta try...knock it off..." Arian muttered, struggling to get her wrist in a position where it would project a sizeable force. The creature just pushed down harder, and then, out of nowhere, Ciarra let out a shriek and collided head-first into the creature. Arian sat up, wheezing. [i]You know, if they made me something like a cyborg, you'd think they'd improve my respitory system or something...[/i] She looked at saw, to her partial fright, Ciarra as a wolf, digging her jaw into the creature's side. It let out a yelp and let out a single, lonesome howl before relaxing onto the brush, dead. There was a soft glow, and Ciarra returned to normal. She was, however, shaking from head to toe, clutching her jaw. "I...I can't believe...I...I did that..." she stuttered, then collapsed onto the ground. "Why...Why did I do this?" "You did it to save me. I would've done the same, ya know. I'm glad to know you think the same way as I do. Protect your friends, harm your enemies." "Well, maybe not like that..." Arian shrugged, stood up, and waddled ((XD)) over to the creature. It was too large and muscular to be a wolf, and walked almost like a gorilla. "Well, this isn't gonna work for now...We need some sleep anyways." With that, she lied down, curled up, and fell asleep. *** [i]Dawn[/i] "Ari...Ari...Hey Ari, wake up!" "Huh? Wha'? What is it? Ci? What's up?" "You should take a look at this creature...whatever it is." Arian snapped awake, suddenly remembering about the attack the previous night. She hurried over to the creature, and hid a small gasp. It looked like a cross between a gorilla and a wolf - with the end product haveing white hair and looking somewhat like a bad mixture of the two. Red blood (from where Ciarra had bit it) was caked to the fur. Its hands were covered in blood, the claws on its fingers soaked in the deep red. "It looks like...a balverine." "A [i]what[/i]?" "Balverines. I've only heard of them in stories...I think..." Arian clutched her head. "Ugh, stupid memory blockage...But balverines are these powerful creatures that have no sense of friendliness. Everything is kill kill kill. They can decimate whole villages if they want." She stopped. Ciarra's face lite up by suddenly being stuck by the same thought. "Is this...Would this creature perhaps be our culprit?" ----------------------------------- And if any of you have played Fable on the XBox, then you know what I'm talking about. XD Kill the balverine![/color][/size]

[color=royalblue][size=1]Hehe. This is fun. Saladin is the name of the guy whose picture I used for my profile. ^^; So much for originality...but he's hot... -------------------------------- "Waaagh, freaky kiddssss," Saladin said after the cup crashed into the "polite" man from table six's head. "How do you know us? [b]And how are you my great-great-granddaughter if I'm still young![/b]" "Mwahaha. Tormenting you is [i]fuuuuuuuuuunnnn[/i]," Katana giggled, rocking back and forth from her cross-legged position. The rest sweatdropped. "I can see how she's realted to you, Sala-kun," the Kit-looking women said. Saladin groaned and sweatdropped. "You sure about that?" Turning back to Katana he said, "So...how do I know you're not lying?" "Well, let's see. I'm Katana Misowari, and if you really want to be technical, Katana Misowari the tenth, because Katana has been a traditional female name in our family. You're Saladin, and if my math's right, I'd say you're about twenty-one. Yeah, twenty-one." She paused, trying to think of more family traits. "Oh! You fought in the Revolution in the same troop as Kenshin Himura, and you like to use two swords like these-" At that point, Katana unsheathed her blades, revealing them to her ancestor, who merely went bug-eyed. "And, ummm...You have O negative blood, like me, suffer from a slight cae of near-sightedness, and sometimes have weird hallucinations involving two of your groupies." "That...pretty much sums it up," Yasuhiko chuckled, and this time, dodged an empty sake bottle being thrown at him by Saladin. "Okay okay okay," Saladin said through a sigh, slamming open palms onto the bamboo mat. "So, if what you three are saying is true, and that you're our great-great whatevers-" "GRANDDAUGHTERS!!!" Yuki, Kurumi, and Katana shrieked at him, causing everybody in the Akabeko (except the Kenshin-gumi) to look at them. "Yeah yeah, that! So, if what you're saying is true, then what are you doing...here?" "We come from the future!" Kurumi said suddenly, standing up and nearly sending the table crashing to the ground. Only the Kit-looking woman and Yasuhiko saved it. "From the year 2004! This is 1867!" With a pause, she turned to Yuki and curiously wondered, "Yuki, what's the math for that?" Yuki sweatdropped. "You're a feshman! Shouldn't you know?" "Not right now, I don't." "137 years," Katana said blatantly. "YES! 137 into the future, we got sucked into you're frickin' past! SO HERE WE ARE!!!" "Sure, that answers a lotta questions..." Jase said with an immense sweatdrop on his head. "Like how the hell my kid's kid's kid's kid's a complete baka..." "Genetics get screwed up along the line, ya know," Yuki muttered out of the corner of her mouth. There was silence. Then... "NANANA!!! Can't touch dis!" Kurumi began prancing around the area, with everybody sweatdropping, and leaving poor Jase to wonder just how the hell his future-relatives gave birth to the weird creature known as Kurumi. ----------------------------------- The RK RPGs turn one year old this Wedsnesday! YAY!!! *confetti* I have two special images I'm making to comuulate the even.t (Kukuku...)[/size][/color]

[size=1][color=royalblue]Here's where Yuki's job becomes a living hell. XD Sorry. ----------------------------- "BEEFIE THINGIES!!!" Kurumi, Katana, and Yuka shouted in glee, glomping up beef stew with their chopsticks. The rest sweatdropped, and Yuki groaned from the kitchen. During a few moments of silence, where everyone was chewing, Katana peered around the corner again, a strip of beef hanging from her closed mouth. [i]He looks like me. His friend said Yuki looks like him. What is going on? This is freaky as hell...[/i] The Katana-looking man stopped Tae when she passed by. "Miss, can you please tell that girl to stop looking at us?" Katana quickly ducked behind the screen, leaving Tae confused. "Sir, I don't see anyone." "Agh - look!" he pointed at the Kenshin-gumi's table. Tae sighed. "I'm sorry Sir, I don't see anyone looking at you." She strolled over to the group's table. "Are you guys looking at them?" she asked, pointing at the man's table. "No we're not," Katana replied innocently, and Kenshin sweatdropped. "Well...alright..." Tae walked away. "Boy, she's dense..." Yuka muttered. "No she's not!" Yahiko bellowed, blushing. This was the perfect opportunity for the Crazy Three Musketeers to gang up on him. "Oh really?" Kurumi said, chuckling lowly. "Please tell, Yahiko," Katana joined in. "Or face the wrath of the squeaky hammer of doom," Yuka finished. Yahiko became incresingly submerged into a corner. "Girls, please stop that, that you should," Kenshin said suddenly, dubiously grabbing Yuka and Katana's collars and throwing them back across the table, then doing the same to Kurumi. "I guess all those years as a rurouni made you lose all manners..." Katana grumbled, eating some more of the beef stew. *** "Ahh...I'm gonna take a stoll," Katana said, standing up from the table and placing her chopsticks over the bowl. "I'll head back to the dojo. Thanks for lunch, Ken-san." "Ken-san?" Kurumi whispered to herself. Katana left the table and headed towards the kitchens, where Yuki was setting up an order. "Hey Yuki," she said, putting an arm on the counter. "Ugh...not now Kat, I gotta get this done..." "Hey, who said I was going to be a bother? I'll do something." Yuki's face brightened up, but soon realized just who was offering the help. "Well..." She knew she would regret this, but... "Here. Table five ordered some sake." Yuki shoved a tray with three bottles of sake on it towards Katana. "And please - don't screw this up, like I know you will." Katana sweatdropped as she grabbed the tray. "It's nice to know you have complete confidence in me." She walked along, looking at the kanji printed on walls next to the tables. As luck would have it (or not), table five turned out to be the table of guys Katana had been staring at earlier. She nearly jumped when she completly saw the man she had been staring at. Everything about the eighth grader was true about this person - with the exception of the gender differences. Long black hair in ponytailes, piercing navy eyes, a turban wrapped (yes, Katana has a tuban XD) around the head, a white, sleeveless shirt, baggy brown pants, gold earrings, and the strange tattoo on the left bicep. Other than the gender switch, the man had large muscles. "Here you go," Katana said, rather shaky, placing the sake bottles on the table. The man looked up, and his eyes widened, taking in the complete view of the girl. "Uhh...what happend to the girl from before?" he asked as Katana stood up again, pressing the tray hard against her stomach. "She's gotten swamped in work and asked me to bring this to you guys." Looking around the table, she found four other men and two women, each somehow resembling the others. [i]Wait a minute! I'm remembering something from that family tree project last year in science...YEAH! This might be him! Holy shit on rye![/i] Katana took a deep breath and, looking down at the man that was her clone, said, "You...You wouldn't by any chance have the last name of Misowari, would you?" "Well...yes. Yes I do, actually. Why?" "Because..." she breathed in again, a cold wave settling over her. "That would make you my great-great-grandfather, Saladin Misowari." --------------------------------- CLIFFHANGER! *cue dramatic music* DUN DUN DUNNNN!!! So Kaz...you've had a rabid thirteen-year-old on your ass? A sibling? Me? XP[/color][/size]

[color=royalblue][size=1]OO-RAH! *sends her computer flying across the room for deleting her post* ----------------------------- Arian and Ciarra covered more ground before deciding to sit down and rest. While they were prepared for the enviroment, the night air was tense, and made them tense as well. Arian sat down on a log she found on the ground, with Ci plopping down beside her. "I hope they aren't sexist," Arian huffed. Ciarra chuckled. "I don't think so. [i]Protective[/i], but not sexist. You know, out of the entire group, we're the only ones who are searching for the truth..." Arian groaned at her friend's poetic words. "Yeah...only me, you, Halas, and Von." She startld giggling. "What? What's so funny?" "Voooooonnnn," Arian continued, dragging out the name in a drawling voice. "I am Vooonnnn," said in an Terminator voice. "I am here with my friends to discover da truth..." She began laughing immensly. Ciarra giggled. "Yeah. He seems like the type to break out in the kind of voice. Tall enough too." "Yeah. And you're so short." Arian eyed Ci suspisciously. "What? WHAAAT? What is it? YOU'RE TOMENTING ME!!!" "You and Von," Arian replied simply, and Ciarra blushed lightly. "You and Halas," she countered, and Arian blushed slightly. "Mwaaha. See? We're even. Now, to continue..." They sat up, stretched, and began walking down a thick patch of trees. "You know, this would be a lot easier if I did - THIS!" Arian shot out another force wave, and a line of trees bent down. Ciarra blinked. "...I felt that." Arian panicked. "Huh? WHAT? I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry!!!" she slurred. Her friend grinned, but shook her head. "No, I'm fine. But I felt your power go through me..." "Probably because you're my friend." "Yeah, sounds right." "Yeah, see, it probably wouldn't work on any of the others...it would just whack them to the ground..." "You're overly violent, ya know that?" "Uh-huh. ------------------------- Bonding time! XD [/size][/color]

[color=royalblue][size=1]I think we all did. XD ------------------------------------ The party of Kit returning to the dojo was short lived once Megumi clamped an arm around his wrist and dragged him off to his room. The rest sweatdropped as he whinned and yelled about not wanting to be treated by a doctor. Why, nobody knew. There was a couple minutes of silence before Yuka belted out, "LET'S GO BUG YUKI AT WORK!!!" Everyone sweatdropped but Katana and Kurumi, who were giggling like mad with Yuka. The three trooped out of the dojo, with absolutely no money, thinking along the lines of 'well, if she doesn't give us free food, we can gang up on her'. Kaoru sighed. "Well, maybe we can go shopping. I was hoping to look at this new book..." Yahiko groaned. "Is this going to be like the first time, where we all go out, Yuka chops some guy's head off, the police are pissed, and then, those freaks get powers?" "Oro," Kenshin said, "But it would be nice to go take a stroll, that it would." ...==Okay Yuki, here's your plan first going into effect==... Kurumi, Katana, and Yuka were marching along the road, having fun telling bad jokes and scaring a few pedestrians with their swords. Soon, the Akabeko came into view, and the three stormed in, snatching a table before anybody said otherwise. "We want food! We want food!" Yuka and Kurumi chanted as Katana looked over the menu. Yuka soon slapped the menu from her hands. "Ahh! Dammit Yuka, what the hell was that for?" "BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THIS PLACE SERVES BEEFIE THINGIES!!!" the insane seventh grader shrieked, causing Kurumi to go deaf for a few moments. "I think Yuki's trying to deny our existence..." Kurumi muttered, peering over the edge of those wooden-screen type things. Yuki was staying as far away from her friends as possible, taking down somebody's order with an immense sweatdrop on her head. Silence. Then... "Hey. That dude looks like me." Katana stared at a man sitting diagonally across from the three. He was also with his friends, just like the three were. "Huh? Wha'?" Yuka asked, seemingly braindead. Katana jabbed Yuka hard, grabbed her ears, and began pulling on them. "AGHH!!! YOU FRICKIN' PIECE OF SHIT!!!" she yelled, attempting to kill Katana with her squeaky hammer, but missing and smashed into the wall. The man cocked his head over at the noise. His eyes widened as they laid sight on the three girls. He then turned back to his friends and began whispering quickly. "Uh, miss, may we be re-seated?" said a man sitting in one of the areas next to the three insanities. Yuki groaned. "And these people are my friends because...?" she muttered. ----------------- If she hasn't told you guys, Yuki's plan is to meet up with everybody's ancestors...So, the man that looks like Katana is really some sorta relative...too bad he's hot. XD[/size][/color]

WAR OF GENESIS 3!!! *prances around [strike]like an idiot[/strike] like she always does* T_T Spiffy? Well, I was having fun with this new tool I found...Oh, and since you didn't care about your name, I put it in, but faintly. ^_~ [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21698&stc=1[/img]

Ahaha...it's been a while since I've touched a Metroid game...very fun in Fusion, until [spoiler]I had try and outrace the evil clone thingie...[/spoiler]. Haven't played it since. T_T Anyways, hope you like the banner. I can modify it if you don't like this one. [img]http://img31.exs.cx/img31/1043/i7imetroidpsd.jpg[/img] [url]http://img31.exs.cx/img31/1043/i7imetroidpsd.jpg[/url]

[size=1][color=royalblue]Nice. --------------------------------- The man's look turned to that of horror when the full blow of what had happened sunk in. "WHAT? There's not a chance in hell I'm staying here with you lunatics -" He was apparently not being listened to, as Katana surveyed the room. "You know, this is the same room we tortured Kit in after he thought about Amaya's 'tight ass'." Yuka nodded in confirmation. "Yeah. We should name it the Tourture Chamber...OF DOOM!!!" She laughed like a maniac as her two partners sweatdropped. "Yeah, maybe..." Kurumi muttered, her eyes sketching across the room until they landed on the man. "BUT, in any case, we should take care of this guy!" She bounced over to him and fell on her knees. "What beith your name, mister?" The man rolled his eyes. "Tomo." Katana suddenly poured a bucket of drool on the floor. "Tomo..." she said dreamily, letting out enough drool to stop a burning building. "Kat? Kat?" Yuka said, waving her hand in front of Katana's glazed-over eyes. She decided to take drastic measures and whipped out her squeaky hammer. "OH KATANA!!!" she bellowed, knocking Katana on the head a few times. She merely fell to the floor and kept drooling. Kurumi had to think fast..."HOLY SHIT IT'S JOHNNY DEPP!" Nothing, not even a flinch. "Yuka, what guy does she like?" Yuka froze on the spot. "How should I know?" "Well, you guys spend a lot of time together; I figured she'd at least tell you." She shrugged. "Nope. We just terrorize dudes." Kurumi sighed and sweatdropped. [i]"Think fast Kurumi! C'mon! Besides Sanouske, who does this numbnut like? ...AH-HA![/i] "HOTOHORI!" Kurumi screeched, pointing at a wood pillar. Katana immediately snapped awake. "Hotohori! HOTO-BABY! WHERE ARE YOOOOUUUU?!?!!" She stopped and turned to Kurumi, a death glare fixed onto her face. "DAMN YOU KURUMIIIIII!!!" she said, stealing Yuka's squeaky hammer and bashing Kurumi upside the head multiple times. "GIVE THAT BACK YOU BITCH!!!" Yuka bellowed, puching Katana on the head. "GET THE HELL OFF ME YOU FUCKIN' RETARDS!!!" Kurumi yelled. It turned into a three-sided battle. Tomo merely looked on with the biggest confused face. "Um, what?" he merely asked. The fight suddenly stopped. "Oh yeah, you're still here," was all Yuka said. Katana came bounding out of the entagled limbs. "You're Tomo, right?" The man gave a mortified nod. "YESSS!!! See, my crush in the furture's name is Tomo, and he's downright cute - but I'll make an exception for you. Whattare the odds of finding another Tomo in the Meiji Era, and of equal hotness of my Tomo-baby?" She began her prance around the room, until Yuka whacked her with the squeaky hammer, making Katana fall unconscious, a stupid grin on her face. "Maybe she'll shut up for a while..." Kurumi muttered. ---------------------------- Yes, it's all true...Oh, and Kaz: IF YOU KILL THIS GUY I'LL KILL YOU!!! Heed my warning! The last thing you want is a rabid thirteen-year-old on your ass![/color][/size]

*picks up chibi soda* It's good! XD ---------------------------- Arian began tapping Ciarra's shoulder until she finally got a response. "Huh?" Ci asked stupidly, dropping her jaw. Araian cracked up. "Nothing." Each of their eyes wandered off to the boys ahead of them: Arian to Halas and Ciarra to Von. There came a distant rumble in the distance. Squinting, the four saw what appeared to be troops from the biker gang from the previous day. "Are these the 'Nomads' the shop guy told me about?" Halas wondered aloud as the rumbling become louder. Von shrugged. "Who cares. They're going DOWN!" he bellowed like a street punk. The biker thugs gained distance until they scooted to a hault, tracking up clouds of dust. The four squinted slightly. "Hey, look!" one of the bikers said, jerking a thumb at Ciarra and Arian. "Two girls on them! Maybe the boss'll like them!" Another nodded his head in agreement. "As for the guys; we need some target pratice, eh?" ((OOC: *looks at Aiyanna, who's laughing like crazy.)) (IC) "Hnn. They don't look so hard," Halas grumbled. Arian turned and looked at him strangely. "But do you even [i]know[/i] what your powers are?" Halas blinked. "Uhh...nope." By this time, Von had slammed his palms onto the ground, creating a huge earthquake and giving the bikers a nasty shock. "What the hell?" the first one exclaimed, staggering up. "What kind of shit is this?" Ciarra made a little "meep!" noise and suddenly morphed into a hawk. Awed by her sudden transformation, the hawk-Ci began swooping around, aiming at the bikers' faces. "Argh! This sucks!" Arian whined, doding bullets from the second biker's gun that he had pulled from a pack on the bike. She had been winding her way through the desert, slowing making her way to the man, before shooting her hands out in front of her. The next moment, a large force pulsatied from her hands, and then man was knocked flat on the ground, dead. "Weird..." Arian muttered, investigating the man closer. She cringed at the sight: His skin had been completly pushed in, outlining every bone in his body, and giving the ghastly appearance of a zombie. Ciarra suddenly swooped down and morphed back into her normal self beside her friend, gasping as she touched the ground. "That...was weird...It just...suddenly happened..." "Me too," Ci said, relaxing her muscles as the cry of the first biker man rang out. --------------------------- Meh...Fight scene. I suck at these. On a different note...I was exploring the sign-ups for this and discovered that, when the four of us signed up, the girls ended up on top of the guys: Arian Halas (Four posts later) Ciarra Von It's destiny I tell ya.

[size=1][color=royalblue]And you know, I had a post, but then, right WHEN I posted, the server got all whacked out. Dammit... Oh yeah, and Kaz, you seem incredibly sexist. Why only you and Kit? That means us girls have to come up with something special about us... ----------------------- Two hours later.... "C'mon people! Step right up! Have doubts about the future? Then ask 'em to us!" Katana stood on a stump, one of her swords in the air, babbling on about their new business. A plump, middle-aged woman came up to her. "Miss," she said, Katana fending off a pissed Yuka, "I've heard rumors of a group of children at the Kamiya dojo who have strange powers and skills like assasins that only the legendary Battousai can surpass. Do you know them?" "Of course lady!" Yuka belted out. "In fact, we are those people!" "Impossible!" a man scolded, "There's no such thing." "Watch." Yuka concentrated the familiar energy in her hand, and, a moment later, a purple disc appeared in her hand. She wound up and chucked it at a tree, causing it to slice in have and collapse onto the ground. "Simple...trickery!" the man stuttered. "There's no way..." "Oh yeah there is," Katana challenged. She looked around wildly and discovered a mysterious buckets of water from the pits of nowhere. She dipped a finger in the water and - ta daa! - it turned to a solid block of ice. Their small audience gasped, then requests came pouring in. "Can you chop my trees?" "Kill my husband?" "Freeze some food?" "Kill my husband?" "Revitalize my garden?" "Kill my husband?" "Give me some water?" "KILL MY HUSBAND?!?!?!" Yuka and Katana looked at each other and shrugged. "We can do all of those except for the husband one!" Yuka stated. "It's against our code." "Since [i]when[/i]?" "Ever since Kaz killed the super-cute sex slave, I 'spose. Besides, I can only kill guys I know." "That's a lie and you know it!" Katana steamed. "It's not!" They were about to yank each other's heads off, a long arrow pierced the ground between them. Attached to the arrow was a note, tied in the image of a strange bow tie. "We never started a mail-order service," Yuka said, baffled. Katana whacked her over the head and detached the note. "Let's see...'I've kidnapped the one you call "Kurumi"...If you want her, come to what you refer to as the Dead Forest...I have her there.'" Katana paused. "DAMMIT! We were just there!" "Kuso Kurumi! Couldn't you have gotten kidnapped sooner!" Yuka whined. -------------------------------------- It looks like the day has blessed us...RK: TFO hasn't been closed yet because of no thread rating. Ahh, yes...Kit PMed me today, saying he's back. YAY![/color][/size]

Noo...It's over...*cries silently* It was an interesting ending, and I would've never seen the Postless Banner's true identity. (Maybe it's 'cause I wasn't here way back when in Version 2. XD) Nice story...and although I'm not complaining at all, I'm still curious as to who the person in your title image was. You know, the War of Genesis person. Any list on who exactly got banned? I would've been hanging from a lightpost watching this whole thing play out or something. Proves how much of a moron I am...T_T;;

XD ------------------ Arian popped open her box. Inside was a disc - it looked something like a CD, but with sharper edges. It wasn't labeled at all. "Interesting..." she muttered, picking up the disc and flipping it over. Ciarra looked over with interest. "There's probably something important [i]on[/i] the disc, ya know." Arian rubbed the back of her head. "Yeah, that sounds right." Von stole a glance at the disc after he recovered (yet again) from being basched in the head by his tennis ball. "Yeah. I'd agree with Ci here." Halas picked up a box with his name on it. "Should I?" Arian shrugged. "Do it whenever you like." "Okay." He put the box down again and smiled. [i]Heh. First time I've seen him smile. Makes him kinda cute.[/i] The four sat down on the porch, Von still bouncing the tennis ball against the house. "We really don't belong with them," Halas said, tapping the lid on the top of the box. "Nope. Not at all," Arian replied, spinning the disc on her finger. "Maybe we should just...leave," Ciarra said finally. "Yeah. Pick up our sorry hides and get the hell outta here," Von added, still bouncing the tennis ball. "We're the misfits. We're the only ones that don't seem to agree with the depressed and kinda bitter people. "Hey," Arian pipped in, "Four's a good number. And it's not so weird - two girls, two guys." "Yeah, but who knows what'll happen, especially with these two," Ciarra giggled out, pointing at Von and Halas. Von put on a grin, while Halas made a snorting sound. "Paah. Like we'd do anything to you two," Halas retorlted. "What? You trying to say something Halas?" Arian said with a smirk on her face. "That we're not good looking? C'mon. You were my partner in the underworld in eating little kids." She put on an insane grin. "...You're scaring me now," Ciarra huffed out.

[size=1][color=royalblue]XD Kurumi's gone insane... --------------------------------- Katana was giggling like a madman, somehow bouncing on her butt over to where Kurumi and her sex slave were. "Oh crap, not another one..." the stalker-guy moaned, slamming his onto the floor. "Dammit to fu-" "Gotta take a crapper?" Katana asked sincerely. "Over there." She pointed to where Kurumi had been pointing earlier. "I DON'T have to use the POT! God...damn kids..." "I'm not a kid either!" The man bobbed his head up. "Yeah? And how old are you?" "Thirteen!" "You sure don't [i]seem[/i] like a thirteen-year-old..." "Well, you haven't seen us when we have Yuka around!" Kurumi beamed, still on top of the man. "Yes, when we combine our powers," Katana began in the old Captain Planet theme, "We are the Three Crazy Musketeers!" "Our theme song is La Cokeracha!" "Our drink is eggnog!" "Our hobby is scaring the crap outta Kit and Amaya!" "Our motto is-" "SHUT IT!" the stalker bellowed, somehow finding the strength to stand up and knock Kurumi to the floor. He looked pretty menacing from a ground view. "I'm not a frickin' sex slave! I'm not a stalker! I am -" "HELLLLLOOOOOOOOO!!!" Yuka said, taking out her sqeaky hammer and bashing the stalker-turned-sex-slave over the head, making him fall unconscious. "Yuki and I have returned with Oro man!" She looked down. "Uh...oops?" Kenshin walked by in the hallway but stopped abruptly. "What the..." he started before rushing into the room. "Miss Yuka, what did you do to him?" A vein popped on Yuka's forehead. She relentlessly began whacking Kenshin over the head. "DON'T - CALL - ME - MISSSSSSS!!!" --------------------------- The sex slave has no idea what he's gotten into. XD[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=royalblue]Yay! Kaz-ies back! *dances* Posting at the library is weird...especially when you have this little girl next to you who stares whenever you giggle... ---------------------------------------- "And so, they made up," Katana gigged as she saw the shadowed figures of Kurumi and Kaz hug. She sweatdropped immensly and went back to poking the mysterious stalker man. "And - ONE! - and - TWO! - and - THREE! - and - FOUR! Here's how to tone your body in two minutes, garunteed!" Kurumi entered the room and plopped down next to her. "What is?" "Poking mania! How to lose weight in two minutes, garunteed!" Kurumi sweatdropped. "Yes, I heard that part." "AHA!" Katana yelled, standing up with a lightbulb appearing over her head. "THAT'S what Yuka and I can do?" "What? Annoy the crap outta civilians?" "NO! Well, that too, but - we can sell some ghetto weight loss product!" "Hey, that might work," Kurumi replied. "Can I get a cut of the profits?" "What? Hell no! You already got a job!" Katana screeched back. "But hey! If it 'twern't for me, you wouldn't have poked that guy to come up with the idea of poking for weight loss!" "Yeah, that's right." "So...I'm getting some of the cash?" "NOPE! Na na na na, can't touch dis!" Katana began prancing and dancing around the room, while Kurumi continued poking her 'sex slave'. "Hope he wakes up soon," she muttered, and with another poke came a groan. "Ugh..." the mysterious, shadow-stalker-turned-sex-slave man grumbled. His eyes creaked open, and immediately snapped shut at the light. "Kuso. I failed," he said, rubbing his hands over his eyes. "Kuso kuso kuso -" "Yeah, shit shit shit," Katana said. ((ACK! Better make sure the librarian doesn't see this...>.

XD Good work again, DW. My my, jblessing is a little bitchy now, huh? Hilarious...yes...*can't think of much*. Oh ja! So the Postless Banner has enough power to knock out Adam, huh? Weird...*munches on Adam cookie* I'm guessing the PB (haha, PB XD) is either going to be a big joke or some mod...or something. Or maybe...*points* IT'S DW!!! I dunno, have no clue... *wave wave* C'mon! One more chappie! Pump in the enthusiasm! ^^;;

Azumanga Daioh rocks. It's definetly my favorite anime right now, and I adore the manga. In fact, it's probably my favorite manga too, and I'm lucky enough to own all four. ^^ What makes Azu so unique is, like people have said before, the fact that it's one of those four-panel strips. This was the first (and only) time I've seen a manga like this, and I found it a little strange at first. If you like humor, I think it's hard not to love Azumanga Daioh. If you're a person who needs a plot, then definetly don't pick up a copy of this. For some reason, I was able to get more out of the Azu series time-wise than I would a regular manga, probably because there's a lot more content in the books. (Four 4-panel strips = 16 panels per two pages compared to about 10 for a normal manga). You really get what you pay for in this case, and can easily re-read and re-re-read this series over and over and over again. My favorite character would have to be Osaka. She's just so cute and clueless, and has one of the most hilarious (and unique) minds I've ever seen. XD

[size=1][color=royalblue]You guys probably think of me as the person who's a newbie to anime. Why? Because usually, subs drive me crazy. I'll admit, the only anime I have on DVD is Azumanga Daioh. But I have heard the Japanese voice actors of various anime, and I'm usually frightened out of my mind. Subtitles drive me crazy because you have to focus on reading the words...then you miss the scene...and then you're pissed. Anyways... The best dub I've ever seen would probably be Yu Yu Hakusho. Okay, you guys probably think I'm being a little elementry, but when you really look at it, the voice actors that dubbed the series did a great job. Each of the voices fit the characters personality almost perfectly. I haven't quite come across one that I hate (I'm going by the CN airings here), so that's probably at the top of my list. Worst dub? Duel Masters, 100%. I don't watch it - hell no - but the bits and pieces of it that I've seen drive me insane. All the voices make me grind my teeth, and Joshua Seth's voice has been used too many times as it is. Another disappointment was Shaman King. I loved the manga, so I thought I'd check out the anime. WRONG! Their voices drive me nuts too, although Yoh's isn't that bad. I think one element that drives anime fans crazy is when these companies change a character's name. Not spelling (like Shippou to Shippo, etc.), but things like Honda to Tristen, Ran to Rachel, and things like that (nope, I'm not a Yu-Gi-Oh fan - just thank Shonen Jump for that info tidbit). I don't see why they do these things. Yes, a lot of animes in America are aimed at little kids, but they could at least keep the original names. Makes 'em sound cooler. ^_~ Oh yes, going back to Azumanga Daioh: I think the dub is way better than the sub. Whenever I get bored, I flip it to Japanese, and cock an eyebrow at the differences. If you though Chiyo-chan's voice was high in the English version, then you definetly haven't heard the Japanese version. Perhaps the only voice I liked in the original Japanese was Yomi's, and that isn't really saying much. The voice that made the most transition (to me) was Chiyo-chan's "father". He was rather bland-sounding in the sub, but sports an awesome, colorful dub voice. *wave wave* I'm gone...[/color][/size]

[size=1][color=royalblue]"And I'll try and make a pie..." :laugh: Woot! I gots software to learn Japanese! I can type in it too! XD ------------------------------------------------- Five Minutes Prior to the Disappearance of the Yuks...(XD) "C'mon Yuka." "What?" "We shoudl think of a job." "Didn't we settle on that 'future prices of meat' thing?" "No. You rejected that one." "Oh. ...What about the future products one?" "Yeah, that'll work." The two were staring at the ceiling, reclined on their backs with their heads resting on their arms. "Lookie at the wood...so swirly...look at the swirls...let's count how many," Yuka said in a trance-like state. Katana sweatdropped and whapped her across the head. "OUCH! What's your frickin' problem Kat?!" "Nothing," Katana replied innocently. Kurumi sweatdropped. "And, just how is it you two are friends?" "BECAUSE WE'RE SPECIAL!!!" the two shouted in unison, jumping up. "AGH! I hear voices!" "C'mon Yuka! That's getting old -" "SHUT UP! I'm paranoid I tell ya!" Kurumi walked up to Yuka. "My friend has medicine for that." Yuka immediately brightened up. "Yeah? Who?" "Mr. FIST!" Kurumi shrieked, punching Yuka hard in the face. She collapsed onto the ground, blood squirting out of her nose. "Shit Kurumi!" Katana shouted. "Don't kill her!" She quickly went to work with her healing magic, fixing up Yuka's nose. "Hey Yuka!" Yuki's voice came from the hallway. Yuka brust up from the ground, and, for some odd reason, burst into song. "Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone! Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone! I've got this feeling, it's so appealing for us to get together and sing! Sing! Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone! Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding danana phone! They grow in bunches, I've got my hunches; It's the best! Beats the rest! Cellular modular interractive-odular! Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone! Ping pong ping pong ping pong ping panana phone! It's no baloney, it ain't a pony. It's my cellular.....bananular phone!" she shrieked out. Yuki appeared in the room and cocked an eyebrow. "I actually have heard that song before...it had dancing badgers on it right?" she asked. Yuka stopped singing for a moment and looked at Yuki happilly. "You heard of it?!?!" she asked in bewilderment. "Uh, yeah. Otherwise I wouldn't have said so in the first place. Anyway, Kenshin hasn't come back yet. You wanna come help me find him? I'm sure he can't be that lost. Maybe he went into that dead tree forest thingamabob you wanted to go into..." Yuki said, hoping to convince Yuka to agree to come. "I don't know...." Yuka said thoughtfully. "Oh come on, Yuka! I'll...uh...try and make some sort of pie if we come back with Kenshin!" Yuka's eyes widened. "Yeah! Ok! I'll do it!" She shouted, grabbing Yuki by the wrist and pulling her out of the dojo. Katana and Kuru mi sweatdropped as the two left. "Shall we?" Kurumi asked. "Nope." "Okay. Wanna get something to eat?" "Sounds good to me." The two left the room, right before... [i]Poof.[/i] "HELLOOOOO LADIESSSS!!!" Kaz belted out. --------------------------------------- Sorry Yuki for stealing half of your post. T_T;;; [/color][/size]

Nyaa.... ------------------------ The sun had finally made its way into the tube Arian slept in. Her eyes snapped open, the light blaring into her eyes, but not affected by it. She sat up and banged her head on the tunnel's top. "Kuso..." she muttered to herself. Looking up, she noticed two young children, about four years old, staring at her. "Hey lady," said one with dirty blonde hair. "Can we play in here?" Arian cocked a grin. In her deepest voice, she replied, "Noooo...thsoe who disturb my slumber shall face my wrath!" She scrambled out of the tunnel, the kids screaming in pure delight and running away from the psychotic seventeen-year-old. "Muwahaha!" Arian continued, chasing the two kids around the playground. She stopped at Halas's spot and poked him hard. "Ugh..." he muttered, groggily opening his eyes. He backed up at how close Arian's face was to his. "What?" "C'mon! Little kiddies! It's fun!" She dragged him through the sand by his sleeve until he stood up. "Alright, alright," he said. Arian grinned and began chasing the kids again. "This is my partner in the underworld!" she shouted, pointing at Halas. "C'mon Halas! We love festing on little kids, don't we?" "Uh, yeah, whatever you say..." Not wanting to be dragged through the gritty sand again, Halas joined Arian in the race to get the two kids. "Pah...I'm all worn out..." Halas said, collapsing onto the ground next to Arian. Neither of them felt tired, but they didn't want to freak out the kids if they could run around forever. "Yeah...let's head back," Arian added, getting up from her spot under a tree. "We can see what Von and Ci are up to and go from there." "Sounds good," Halas replied, picking himself up from the ground. The two walked out of the park. "Mommy, mommy!" said the little child with blonde hair, "We got chased around by weirdos!" The mother shook her head in utmost pitty. "Peolple these days..." "The lady was sleeping in the tunnel!" "Is that so?" the mother replied dryly, reading a magazine. "Hehe, kids are fun," Arian said as she and Halas reached the main road. They continued on towards the old woman's house. --------------------------- Couldn't think of much. So let's scare the crap out of kiddies! XD

Yes, PG for some cussing. Extremely mild cussing. T_T Anyways... For the staggeringly few amount of people that have visited my myOtaku (that's always a pain in the butt to type...and speak...T_T), you've probably discoverd my story, simply entitled "Revival". It's a weird mixture of adventure/humor/sci-fi/fantasy genres, and if you wanna mix in anime, it's like Inuyasha meets Witch Hunter Robin that came across Azumanga Daioh. The main characters are actually going to be eight people, but for now, the story only involves two girls - a fox demon and an elf. Like 90% of my stories, the characters are based upon myself and my friends. Oh, and don't laugh when you see that my character's name, the fox demon, is Katana. It has to do with me recycling names for my friends when it comes to stories, dadedadedae, etc., you get the point, OVER! By the way, the elf's name is Eowyn. ^^;; ----------------------------------------------------------------- [size=1][color=navy][center]*1* Katana Of the Past[/color][/center] I flipped up the board with my right foot, catching it nimbly in my left. The claw-like fingernails scratched against the sandpaper grip. ?Hey Kat,? said a familiar voice, and my ears twitched as Eowyn, my friend, appeared behind me in a soft glow of lavender light. ?Yo,? I replied, turning around with a smile on my face. Seeing Eowyn there, being her normal, cheerful self, always made me feel good. ?Is there a reason you wanted to see me?? ?Yeah, like always.? She searched her pockets; her hands looking like mice were scrambling around in there, and finally pulled out a stone fragment. ?No?no way?? I managed to say on a breath. Pinched between Eowyn?s thumb and forefinger was the most valuable object between us at the moment ? a fragment from the Stone of Sages. ****************** We ? that is to say, the world ? live in a time of renewing. Two thousand years ago, in the year 2259, the world paused. All in habitants lost their memory, and resorted back to the ways of their long-ago ancestors to survive. Few bits of information were salvaged ? computers, virtually erased of any fundamental use, automobiles becoming strange objects that were scraped to make homes. In this year, described as 1770 RP (revival period), we have managed to jump ahead in some areas of technology. But just how is it I know this much? It?s a gift, as people say, and I share this gift with only seven other people ? seven other beings that know the history of our planet, not just the tidbits of information that everyone else knows. The Stone of Sages was the core of all knowledge. It was a non-existent thing before the Cleansing (the nickname given to the date March 14, 2259). But when the world was made back to the way it had been, people began calling onto the stone. Back then, seven powerful beings existed, ones that, like me, knew the world before the Cleansing. They were able to call upon the Stone and help their people. But the mortals soon became greedy, and caused the Stone to fall back into the earth, where it was to lay for nearly two thousand years, slowly disintegrating itself, awaiting the birth of the seven that could carry on and help the world. It did happen. Fourteen years ago, Eowyn was born, and awakened the Stone of Sages. From the rest of what I know, six others were born steadily throughout the year, until, nearly a year after Eowyn was granted life, I became apart of the world. At the age of thirteen, I am the youngest person who can recall the events of years gone by, but have never shared this with anyone besides Eowyn. One odd thing must be noted, though. We aren?t human. We have no parents, and, of all the memories we have, we have none that remind us of who they were. My name?s Katana ? Eowyn likes calling me Kat ? and I?m a Fox Demon. (Most people get the wrong idea when they hear the world ?demon? ? I?m not some little gremlin from the pits of Hell ? no, I?m quite the contrary.) My canine teeth are fangs, and amidst shoulder-length, snow white hair is a pair of fox ears. They?re sensitive, and can tell when someone?s nearby. My favorite thing about myself, though, is my tail. It?s long and white, streaked with silver, and looks like a cloud following me wherever I go. My eyes are what Eowyn calls ?dudeicles? ? they?re yellow, and my pupils are like slashed-up Vs. Eowyn is my best friend, and she?s an elf. Her ears are pointed, which she unconsciously tugs on at times. Her hair is long, to about her waist, and reflects in the sun as a chestnut skein with bronze highlights. Where a human?s eye teeth would be are small fangs ? slightly larger than a human?s, but shorter than mine. Her eyes are green, but are speckled with reds, oranges, and some yellows, and they flash purple whenever she uses her magic (which, being an elf, magic is pretty much at her disposal). ****************** ?So,? Eowyn said, pocketing the fragment, ?What should we do?? ?Good question,? I replied, rocking the skateboard back and forth with my right foot. Eowyn raised an eyebrow, but quickly put it back down as my gaze reached her?s. ?Where?d you find it?? She shrugged. ?That?s a good question.? My ears began twitching. ?Alright, alright. I found it at Zephyr Park over there.? She pointed in the direction behind me, and I nodded in response. ?Interesting. I can?t believe nobody was able to find it before.? ?It?s not like humans can tell the difference between rocks and the fragments, you know.? Eowyn waited for my response, which didn?t come. ?Ooookayyy...The glow when on the surface, but when underneath something, it?s hard to tell where they are.? ?Uh-huh,? I said, half paying attention, half focusing on rocking my skateboard. Eowyn sighed and gave up. ?So, what do you wanna do?? I looked up, a smile creeping onto my face. ?You wanna learn how to skate?? ?Yeah ? what?!? * * * ?Okay, push against the ground, one foot on the board ? crouch! It builds speed and betters you balance! Now lead the turn with your body, pretend it?s like a bike or sommin?.? There was a ping noise that signified Eowyn had crashed into a chain-link fence. ?Eowyn! You okay?? I hopped off my board and ran up to her, the silver tail flowing behind me like wind. Eowyn recovered from her shock and looked at me. ?It?s fun ? I guess. But you?ll always be better than me.? ?Naah. Okay, maybe, but only because I started earlier than you.? ?Having a tail helps too.? I rolled my eyes and offered a clawed hand to her. She gripped it, and I pulled her up like she was a feather. ?So, what do you wanna do now?? She shrugged in response. ?Eh. Doesn?t matter.? Her eyes wandered to what the chain-link fence was surrounding. My favorite part of the city: a skate park. ?Oh, no?? she muttered as I grinned mischievously and ran into the park. Eowyn followed with a sigh, knowing she was going to be bombarded with terms like ollie, quarter pipe, heelflip, spine transfer, and manual. ?Steve Conte,? I said suddenly, dropping down from the top of the half pipe. Eowyn plopped down on a wooden bench, dented in places from people crashing into it. ?Yeah? What about him?? ?Great singer, back a few millennia ago.? I skated up the other side of the half pipe and jumped off my board. Turning to Eowyn, I said, ?Aren?t there CDs of him somewhere?? She shrugged. ?Dunno. We?d have to search a bit; make sure no one?s used them for a fire yet. But I don?t think you can burn CDs.? ****************** Remember how I said we had progressed in few areas of technology? Well, I?ll give you a crash course on just what has. Transportation ? Advancement is slightly different from the past. Many people get around by trains. Research is beginning to unravel things such as maglevs. (It's hard to keep your mouth shut when you know what is about to happen.) For kids, the main mode of getting from place to place is either a skateboard or a bike. Entertainment ? Up in the era of television, CDs, computers, and beginning to advance into things like mp3s. Tape players are from ten years back, but many people still like them. Music from four thousand years ago and beyond is still in tact, with pieces like Beethoven?s ?Moonlight Sonata? favorites amongst Classical enthusiasts. Politics ? What? That?s almost a foreign word to people. The world lives in a state of harmony, where everyone is equal to one another, and each nation helps each other out. In fact, countries don?t really exist anymore ? just clans. Money has been put into a worldwide currency known as aris. One ari is basically one cent, so 2,400 aris would be equivalent to 24 dollars. Those are the basics. Maybe I?ll explain some more a little later. Maybe. ****************** ?Burn CDs, eh?? I said, hopping off from the top of the half pipe and landing in a crouching position. ?I know that people way back when ?burned? them ? err, they implanted data onto a blank disc.? ?Yeah yeah yeah, techno whiz,? Eowyn chirped with a sigh. I grinned and flopped down next to her, the skateboard thumping against the bench. ?Hey hey, can?t help that I?m good with technology. I just wish I could hack, you know?? ?No you don?t. You?d get in trouble.? She thought for a moment. ?And then you wouldn?t be able to skateboard.? I shrugged. ?So? I?d find a way, and you know it.? Eowyn knew all-too-well what I meant. Being my friend since I was three and she was four, we knew a lot about each other. She knew that beneath my tomboy and rocky exterior was a person in tune with nature and an animal lover. I knew that underneath her joyful surface was a being filled with deep sorrow and a dangerous mind. We sat in silence for a few more moments. ?You wanna go get some coffee?? ?Sure.? I rummaged the pocket of my baggy khaki pants. Being the tomboy that I was, one might?ve mistook me for a boy at first ? especially with a skateboard, short hair, and hanging out with a girl that rejected numerous dates from boys. Eowyn made a peace sign, then waved her hand around in a complete circle. Two silver coins sprouted from the air and landed in her outstretched hand. Each was marked ?1000Ẳ?. ?You?you didn?t steal those, did you?? I asked, finally finding some crinkled ari notes. There were two ways one could carry money ? either in coins or in paper notes. ?Naaaah. I got them from my bank at the orphanage.? ?Eh,? came my dry response We stood up and strolled out of the skate park. I flipped my skateboard back into my hands, while Eowyn began discussing the latest science homework. ?I don?t get it! I mean ? what are we supposed to do?? I sweatdropped. ?Read and finish the packet, genius.? Sometimes, Eowyn?s brain seemed to fry and become dead. ?I know that! But ? like ? grr, I don?t get it!? ?What don?t you get?? I asked as we joined a crowd of punked-up boys at the street corner. Dressed in leather jackets, black jeans, and having no shirt on, it was hard not to notice them. Or their spiked hair. Whispers immediately sprouted up as we shuffled to the front. Some of the boys were nudging each other, whispering and jerking thumbs at us. ?I?ve always said he?s off his rocker,? I continued, referring to our science teacher. ?Scary sometimes, you know.? ?Yeah, especially when he goes into that dead-quiet-whisper mode?? ?Hey girlies,? said a snide voice, making my ears twitch slightly. The voice laughed. ?Yeah, I?m talking to you, Fox girl!?[/size] ---------------------------------------------------------------- Questions, critiques, death threats, whatever - they're all much appreciated! Except, maybe, the death threats...T_T And as my buddy Meg-chan said: "It's a litle slow-moving in the beginning, but that's 'cause you had to explain everything. But otherwise, it's great!" *goes into hyper fit of giggles*

Brilliant. Really. One of the best stories I've read in a long time that focused on humor. The very first thing that caught my attention, though, was the picture that stated "The Legend of Otaku Hollow". At first, I thought it was your banner (cause I only saw the top half), but then - "Holy crap! That's me!" T_T Me, meaning, that was an image I used a lot and also used on "The Otaku Cards Return" thread. Remember? ^_~ Overall, it's great...I can't wait 'til the next chappie and stuff. But man, the temple of n00bs drove me nuts. My eyes are seriously screwed up from trying to figure out all the crappy lingo...o_O

[size=1][color=royalblue] Torce! Dorce! Trece! Quatorce! (Go bad Spanish and Vertigo!) ---------------------- Katana sweatdropped immensly, but followed as Kurumi and Yuki took off back towards the hot springs. Amaya was muttering about something, when Yuki suddenly burst out: "Oh crap! I lost Kenshin!" "So what...we're playing Where's Waldo..." Katana began. "But modified to Where's Kenshin?" Yuka finished. Yuki sweatdropped. "Yeah, I'm guessing so." "KENSHIN!" "KENNY!" "BATTOUSAI!" "RED DUDE!" Amaya sweatdropped at Yuka. "You think he's gonna respond to 'Red Dude'?" Yuka smilied happily but insanely. "Of course!" They continued calling him, but nobody popped up, not even the slightest noise that sounded like Kenshin. ((Rubs hands together to get warm)) "Well, how are we gonna find him?" Katana asked finally. Amaya shrugged. "He's smart. I'm guessing he got lost or something...he'll pop up at the Dojo sooner or later." "Let's hope it's sooner," Yuki replied with a groan and rubbing her stomach. "I am not eating another one of Karou's meals ever again." The five girls arrived back at the dojo, Kurumi still towing the mysterious shadow-stalker-man. He would moan every now and then, but would get kicked in the head by Yuka whenever he did. "You really keeping him for a slave?" Katana asked, looking at the man. He looked like a ninja, except he didn't have any sort of katana (>.>) on him. His hood was also missing, but that had been shoved in one of Yuki's pockets. In general, the man was rather handsome - smooth, lightly tanned skin, and short but frisky rich brown hair. [i]He would look better in some looser garb though,[/i] Katana thought. "...And we're back!" Yuka announced as they entered the dojo. Kit craned his head back from a doorway while Kaz suddenly poofed into the room. "Hey girls! Nice ta see ya back!" Kaz said. "We went to the hot springs, but we found out that you guys ditched us. So we came back. And yeah." "Who's the dude?" Kit asked, pointing at the freaky-but-handsome-weird-ninja man. Kurumi shrugged. "Dunno. He's a stalker. BUT NOW HE'S MY SLAVE FOREVER! BUWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!" The six sweatdropped.[/color][/size]
