I wonder this...how come members can't modify titles of threads they've created? This has happend to myself a few times (and probably other members) where I've messed up on the thread title but can't go back and edit it; I can only edit the little subject line in the post. As far as I know, only mods can change anybody's thread title. But can't we edit our own titles? (Example, in the Art and Design forum, I have a banner thread entitled "The Woners of PaintShop Pro" when I had meant for it to say "Wonders". And I can only edit the little subject line in my post.) Heh, sorry if I'm making a lot of ruckas about nothing. v.v

Funny. Really. Really, I'm not kidding! ^^ Spiffy picture. High quality and well themed. I like the scarf on the diablo dude. Gives it a nice tough. ^_~ I like the hand hanging out from the snowman though. AH NO! THE EVIL DIABO DEVIL TYPE THINGIE DUDE KILLED HACK HELBA! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! [spoiler]Mu we hehe...[/spoiler]

THE KITTY BANNER IS MINE! SHE MADE IT FOR MEEEEEEEEEE!!! *coughs* Yeah, I really like your banners. The always turn out pretty spiffy (word of the moment). Shin - Eh, kinda plain, to be honest. Looks as if the text came from MS Paint or something. It's okay. (The images are good though ^^.) Kurumi - Ah, that's pretty good. The pics and color seem to mix well together, although the image on the right is blurry. Lord Black Cat - Mow! MY BANNER! I think it turned out awesomely dudeicles. Except the middle pic, you're right, it is evil. ^^ Undeniably cute though. :D Fruits Basket - *sniffle sniffle* I made you a FB banner...and it's gone! *breaks down in tears* Ah, anyways, that's a spiffy banner. It's simple, yet good, so it turned out pretty cool. Also, I'm curious to know what exactly Microsoft Picture It is. I checked online and couldn't find any decent information. >.<

I saw this in the Yu Yu Hakusho forum, were people would put in various YYH names and see how much the fit the character. And surprisingly enough, the matched almost perfectly. ^^ [size=1](For fun, I looked up Katana ^.^) Although your first name of Katana has created an expressive, fun-loving nature, it has not produced the qualities necessary for a full and complete life. You have always been a happy person, and, desiring to see others happy as well, you strive to inspire others, which you do most effectively through an engaging sense of humour. You are fond of surprises and are quick to respond to spontaneous invitations which promise a good time, particularly when they relieve you of a boring task. Your dislike for monotony and routine, often means that you do not finish the things you start. God dammit....that is so perfect! It matches me! And if anybody's seen the way I post in RPGs, they know it. ^^ Mimiru: The name of Mimiru creates a very likable easy going and good-natured personality with a love for people. You will do anything to avoid friction among others. You could have musical or artistic talents but find it difficult to concentrate your efforts in one area long enough to accomplish anything. Spontaneous, happy-go-lucky, and expressive yourself, you like to see people happy and go out of your way to create harmony amongst them o_O Woah. Gohan: Your first name of Gohan has given you a clever, deep mind and the talent to excel in highly inspirational lines of endeavour as a dramatist, musician, writer, or artist. You can be lifted by beauty in all forms and you are at the most creative when inspired. Your expressive, affectionate nature responds very quickly through your feelings, but you must guard against being possessive and jealous. You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand and cannot express. Your delight in mystery could draw you into occult studies or religions. Eh...I suppose it's close enough... Botan: The name of Botan gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. You find pleasure in literature, in poetry, and in your ideals and will turn to them when you feel you have been misunderstood. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Hmm...I'd say it's about 3/4 right. 'course, we never really know if Botan likes poety or not....[/size]

Hmm...let's see... 1.) Make a manga with Lorenza (my buddy) for Tokyopop's "Rising Stars of Manga" competition - we tried this last year and didn't get past two pages, although we're trying for the 3rd one (which beings on New Years, how conveinent -.-) 2.) Get more money for anime/manga obsession 3.) Make a website and publish it 4.) Finish my Young Authors story "Shrimp Sushi" by the deadline(>

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Ah....*drools* Those are the best RPGs ever. For one thing, the GS games actually user the full potential of the GameBoy Advance. The graphics are nothing short of amazing, the plot is like black hole (meaning you get sucked in), and the music is just spectacular. I mean, they used a real symphony for the music, and that's totally spiffy. ^^ I was reading about Golden Sun and The Lost Age last night at a site called Lumurian Moon. They had this section on Camelot (the makers of GS and TLA), so I checked it out. Browsing through the text, I came across this: [i]And for Golden Sun? Out of the 700+ games on GBA, how many are 128M instead of 64M or even 32M? Less than 10 games. Golden Sun: The Lost Age just happens to be one of the first three games that hit 128M.[/i] Interesting, neh? Okay, to wrap this up, Golden Sun is definetly an awesome game. If the GBA had "Greatist Hits", I wouldn't be surprised if Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age were on it.

Okay, I'm getting worried. With the deadline of scores coming up (two days), and after realzing that I forgot to put the background score into all of my scores, and after browsing through all the pics, I realized that, excpet for a very few people, [i]no one has a background[/i]. When I say background, I don't mean a color or a simple shape. I mean an actual background. If you're drawing a fish in the ocean and just draw the fish, how do we know where it is? That's what I noticed with a [b]lot[/b] of these drawings. Out of 32 entries, only [b]8[/b] of them had what I consider a background, so congrats to you guys that did. I need to consult the other judges and eldai on this issue, because if only 1/4 of the drawings have backgrounds and 75% of them don't, then a lot of scores are going down the drain.

I signed it, putting my fake name of Katana. ^^ Just seeing who the target was...Bill Gates? Whew...this is gonna take a while, that big snot of a billionaire....*punches Bill Gates sqeaky*

I gots a TV! Yay! ^^ ------------- "How could you not know about that great god called Christmas?" Yuka asked, shaking Yahiko. "What's Christmas?" Kenshin asked. Yuka forgot about Yahiko and, with Katana, fell over. "Um..." Kenshin asked Kurumi, who had walked in. In some way, a Santa hat was on her head. "Yeah?" "Well...what is Christmas?" "Christmas is...Christmas is...uh...a big holiday!" Kit said, who appeared from nowhere. He was bouncing around, acting more like Katana than his normal self. "Where you exchange gifts and get presents! And you also, uh, eat a lot!" "So...so, it's like a feast?" Kenshin asked. "Yeah, I guess you could call it that..." Two hours later, Kenshin, Kaoru, Sanouske, Yahiko, Megumi, Katana, Kaz, Kit, Yuka, Yuki, Amaya, and Kurumi (whew!) were sitting down in the front room (the room with the stage). Plopped on the stage were tons of gifts, most of them being from the middle schoolers. "Okay," said Amaya, who was on the stage. She picked up a gift and squinted to read the tag. "Um...hmm...what's "K-N-S-N" mean?" "That's Kenshin!" said Kaz, ripping the gift out of Amaya's hands. He was blushing furiously. "Welll, that was chicken scratch!" she yelled at him. "I can't read stuff chickens wrote!" Kenshin took the gift, his mouth in an "o" shape. Carefully, he opened it up. "Oh! It's a....uh...what is this?" Kaz sighed. "It's a sword handel! It's meant for the wooden swords, but it'll fit just fine." "Umm...thank you." Kenshin curiously investigated the handel. He was clearly confused, but didn't say anything. "Let's see..." Amaya said again, picking up another gift. "Ah geez, it's heavy...um...it's to...Yuka!" Yuka came up and grabbed the box, eagerness written all over her face. "You're not kidding!" she groaned, "It is heavy!" Yuka opened it up and pulled out a stick. However, attached to the stick was...a mallet. "RUN AWAY!!!" Katana yelled, scrambling to get up. "IT'S THE HAMMER OF DOOM!!!" ----------------------- Just [i]had[/i] to put that in. ^^

I think the OtakuBoards teach you respect for other people. Also, I've met TONS of people on here, and (sadly) I have more best friends here than I do in real life. I use the OB to vent out at the end of my school day. I also like to see what other people think. To me, it's a creativity center. (That person's mom would almost kill me...I'm on OB for maybe 3-5 hours a day :sweat: ) You also learn the lessons of life here, such as there are jerks in the world, even Otaku jerks. You learn if people like your thinking or not, based on RPGs you've created. You know if people appreciate your graphical talent by your drawings/banners. You know if people think you'd make a great author by stories and things you put up in the Literature area. The OtakuBoards are anything but a waste of time. It's a great place to learn new things and meet new friends.

Yeah, I know. ^^ Yeah, I think I'll hold it on Friday or something...just so everyone is here. I'll send out PMs tonight.

*edges away from Yuka* Sheesh, you'd think that hammer was a Christmas gift or somethin'...speakin' of which, read the bottom of my post for a special event tomorrow! ^^ -------------- Katana ran into the crowd of people, still parted from Yuka. She panted, waving her head around wildly, looking for some sign of the sixth grader. [i]Where did she get that disk from? It makes no sense.[/i](PS: What is that disk anyways?) Suddenly, a man spoke. "Children as assassins. It's like the Battosai coming back..." Katana looked towards the direction where the voice had come from. "Oh, thanks," she said, edging into the crowd, looking for the man. She found him, looking directly into his eyes. He was covered in black, even his face, the only things showing being his eyes and nose. Suddenly, he vanished. "Geez, so much for a warm welcome...and on Christmas Eve too!" (This has to do with my special thingie. ^^) This caught someone's attention. "What's...Christmas Eve?" Katana blinked. "Uh...um...let's see..." She put a hand on her chin and thought. "Well, it means the day before Christmas! Tomorrow's Christmas, where you get presents and junk. And drink eggnog. I personaly think eggnog is bad, the thought of it makes me throw up, but yeah." There was a murmer in the crowd about this strange thing. Katana took this time to slip away. "Hey! Kat!" Kaz's voice rang out. Katana turned around and saw him, along with Amaya, Yuki, Kurumi, Sanouske, Kaoru, Kit, Yahiko, Megumi, and Kenshin. "Konichiwa!" Katana yelled. Yuki came over, huffing. "You like that word, don't you?" "Yup. Along with dammit, gomen, baka..." Yuki laughed. "Yeah, I know. You call that guy in History a baka all the time." "And he doesn't have a single clue what it means," replied Katana, grinning. "That's all nice," said Sanouske, "But what about that Yuka kid? Shouldn't we find her?" "Yeah," said Kurumi, "We have to, I guess. Okay, just look out for a kid with short swords and is kinda short..." "HEY!" came Yuka's voice. "I heard that!" Kurumi smiled. "Well, whaddya know; she does exist!" The group went over to the voice. There stood Yuka, her face red. "Sheesh, what happened to you?" Yahiko asked. She didn't respond. "Hellllooooo! Earth to sixth grader!" Kit yelled in Yuka's ear. "YEOW! That really hurts you jerk!" ------------- *crying* Half of my post got deleted somehow...and it was really good! *sobbing* Well, since tomorrow is Christmas, I figured when can have some sort of little party in this. I know lots of you guys have relatives (luckily, mine came over on Sunday ^^), but I think it'll be lots of fun to teach the Kenshin-gumi what X-mas is. Oh, and if you celebrate Hannukah, we could have a little party for the sixth night (I believe it'll be the sixth night tomorrow...). Have fun and Happy Holidays! ^^

Geez, this is turning out to be hilarious....^^ -------- The policeman said again, "You're all under arrest for carrying weapons and for the assassination of seven officers!" "Hey!" Katana yelled, waving her arms around. "Those two killed them, not us!" She pointed to Kaz and Kit, who sweatdroppped and muttered "Traitor". "We don't care who! And by the way you've all been acting, I doubt any of you can tell the truth!" The policeman who spoke unsheathed a sword and turned it on it's flat side. [i]He doesn't wanna kill us...strange...[/i] Yuka, Katana, Amaya, Yuki, and Kaz all prepared to fight. Kenshin stopped them. "Listein," he told the policemen, "These children do not come from this era. They do not know of the power they posesse. Look at them. They are no older than 14, that they aren't-" Kenshin was stopped by a police swordsman, who had his blabe tip up to Kenshin's chin. "Idiot..." he mumbled, "How can you believe such stupid, farfetched things?" "They speak the truth, that they do, and I believe them, that I do." The head policeman, without warning, swung his the flat of his sword, delivering a blow to Yuki in the head. She quickly fell over, her eyes completly white. "You...you...you..." Katana huffed, her voice much deeper. This made the policeman jump. "Moron..." hissed Yuka, finishing the man's sentence. The two grabbed their two weapons, making that nifty little sound when swords are unsheathed. Kaz sheathed his sword while Kurumi drew hers. This fight was reserved for the girls; Kit could tell by the evil glint in their eyes. The five girls began to attack, their blades flying around like crazy as they attacked. Bodies flying in the air, uniformed bodies landing on the ground, both were common sites in this battle. Kaz and Kit leaned against a fence, watching. "Quite interesting, huh?" Kit asked. "Yup. Sure beats the heck out of The Matrix." The two laughed. ------------------------ Yay, violent post! ^^ *hides behind Kit, who gets hit in the head with Yuka's squeaky hammer. She apologizes quickly and runs after me as I make my great escape. ^^*

See Yuki, you can be fun. ^^ ------------ "If you're telling the truth," said Kenshin, "About how you've seen...you know...about everything that's happened to us, then..." "Yeah?" Kaz asked. "Ask us a question, any question at all, and we'll answer it with percision." Katana clapped at Kaz's vocabulary along with Yuka. Everyone looked at them, making them stop. "Okay, let's see...what was Sano's name as an assassin for hire?" "Oh! Oh!" Amaya cried out. "I know! It was Zanza!" Yuka grinned and yelled out, "Ding ding ding!" Kenshin blinked. "Oro?" "I have one," said Yahiko. "What's my favorite nickname for Kaoru?" The middle schoolers looked at each other for a moment. In unison, the replied "Ugly." Everyone excpet Kaoru burst out in laughter. Sanouske suddenly thought of a question. "Okay, if you know about Shishio, then...what was the name of the group he led?" "Lemme take this one," said Kaz to the students. Turning to Sanouske, he said "Juppon Gatana." Sano shrugged. "Doesn't mean anything. Here's the ultimate question: How long could Shishio battle?" "Fifteen minutes," Katana said. Sanouske whistled. "Wow, you guys really do know your stuff. But...if what you say is true, that we're nothing but a show...then does that mean we don't even exist?" "Stupid question," Yuka said. "If we're here, then you guys must be real." Sanouske shrugged again and went back to stuffing his face. Soon, everyone joined in, Katana still commenting on how bad Kaoru's food tasted. After the seventeenth complaint, Yuki stood up, slamming her chopsticks on the table. "I made those!" she yelled at Katana, who jumped. Suddenly, Yuki blushed and sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat again, embarassed. "Well, we know who made them, at least. Still...Kaoru, you're cooking really does suck," said Katana, in a slight matter-of-fact voice. ------------------- I can cook pretty well in this world...

Read my sig to find out my problem...but for now, I'll post up some old banners to keep this thing alive. First Banner for Inuluvr1: [img]http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/katana/inuluvr1_banner.png[/img] Second Banner: [img]http://www.angelfire.com/anime5/katana/inuluvr1_banner2.png[/img] Legendary Super Saiyans (didn't turn out too spiffy >.

I haven't posted in a bit because...uh...because I felt that I've posted too much. Yeah, that's a good excuse...wait..are you still reading this? Oops... ------------------ Katana yawned. "That's the first time I've pulled an all-nighter without ten cans of Coke," she told Yuka, who snickered. Megumi looked at Katana, horrorified. "Coke? You mean...cocane?" "Huh? What? Hell no lady, I don't smoke!" Yuka burst out in laughter, getting another questioning look from Megumi. "I'd really like to know...what is so funny?" "Dunno," said Yuka. "I think it's because, well, Katana and I can related to each other a bunch, I guess. We're the youngest out of the group. I'm 11 and she's 12." "Or maybe it's because you're idiots." Yuka, Katana, and Megumi darted their eyes towards the doorway. There stood Yahiko, slouching against the frame. (Be preapred for...er...sharp teeth scene.) "AHHH! YOU BRAT!" Yuka yelled, bolting up from her seating poition. Yahiko stuck his tongue out at her. "Nah haha! You come and get me idi- AHHHH!!!!" Yuka ran up to Yahiko and began to attack. (Imagine when Yahiko attacked Sanouske by biting his head). She clamped on, not ready to let go. "AHHH!" yelled Yahiko, who began to run around the room, Yuka still attached. Sweatdrops appeared behind Megumi and Katana's heads. The fight ended when Kenshin's voice rang out, "Breakfast!"

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by PiroMunkie [/i] [B][size=1]I personally prefer Photoshop over PaintShop Pro. I do not think I have ever really seen a PSP graphic I have preferred over a PS one, however, that could just be because of the people who have been creating them.[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] Oh, thanks. >.< Okay, I'm just kidding. I, personally, prefer PaintShop Pro (take that!) over Photoshop. I've downloaded them both and much prefer PSP for it's simplicity. Photoshop is complicated. Oh, and lemme tell you that I've self taught myself on PSP. Nobody's told me anything, eveything is from me. (I think that's why people like my backgrounds so much ^^). Price. Price is the all-mighty ruler in this kind of situation. Both programs are expensive, but $400 for a paint program? That's ridiculous, no matter how good it is. You can think of it as "there goes my paycheck" (that is, if you work. I'm only 12, so I don't get a paycheck). [url=http://www.jasc.com/shopping/catalog.asp?]Here[/url] is the offical...site for PSP. The "boxed" version, as they so call it, is only $87 at the moment. Yeah, I'm done. What it all comes down to, however, is how much you're willing to shell out for a paint program. Good luck.

By the way, Yuka and I are the hyper ones, not Yuki. ^^ -------------------- [i]Dude, how'd I get stuck with these two? Amaya, the meditating freak, and Yuki...ah...I guess Yuki's okay.[/i] (No offense, Amaya) It was nighttime. Katana, restless, kept turning over in her blanket. [i]Geez, this pillow's as hard as a block...well, it is a block...[/i] "Hey...Kat...you awake?" Yuki asked. "Yeah." "You wanna go raid the fridge?" "There isn't a fridge." "I meant the...uh...pantry, or whatever they use for a food storage place." "Okay." Quietly, Yuki and Katana rolled out of their blankets and slid open the door (the wooden frame covered in tissue paper ^^). They were about to go into the kitchen when they heard a voice. "Hey! You two!" Yuki and Katana, aka 'You two', turned around to see Megumi's face. She had an eyebrow raised. "And just what were you guys doing in the middle of the night?" "Umm..." said Katana, stalling. "Well, what about you?" Yuki challenged, nudging Katana. "Uh..yeah! What about you?" "I was getting some ice for Kit," Megumi responded in a matter-of-fact tone. [i]Busted...[/i] "Anyways, would you mind getting some ice? I need to take careof Kit...his wound's been infected, and I must tend to it or else he'll die." "Oh," 'you two' said, hurrying outside. "Where are we gonna get ice?" Yuki asked. "I have no idea! A store?" "But we don't have any money!" They stopped. "Dammit!" Katana yelled. "You like that word, don't you?" "Yup." "Well...well, you think they have an ice pit or something?" "It's worth a try." Katana and Yuki ran back to the dojo and began inspecting the yard. "Hey! Hey! I found it!" Katana yelled. Yuki ran over. "Yay! Now let's get some ice!" Within five minutes, the two were back in the house, ice blocks freezing their fingers. Megumi was waiting. "You two certainly took long enough. Oh well, can't expect uneducated children to know what to do..." They followed Megumi to a dimly lite room. Kit was sprawled across a cot, covered in blankets. His face was pale. "He's lost a lot of blood," Megumi said softly. Yuki handed her the block of ice. She took it and chipped the ice with a pick, then placed it around Kit's shoulder, which was bandaged heavily. "I managed to clean out the infection...however...there's only so much I can do. From here on, Kit's strength and will to live will be the only things keeping him alive. We can only numb the pain." Yuki and Katana knelt down (like the do in Japan, on thier knees with their ankles behind them) and waited besides Kit, just in case.

[color=teal]*Mod-approved double post. Post above was spam and was deleted. -Syk3[/color] Thanks Isus. Yeah, I know I made your banner. ^^ That was back in the day when I didn't belive in borders. *sweatdrop* (Edit: Buh bye, sad D-Day banner. ^^) I made this one last night for Leh...she wanted a Digimon banner and boy, I haven't made one of those in a lonnnnnnnnng time. It's too bad she didn't choose mine...darn you Hack Helba! >.< [img]http://otakuboards.com/attachment.php?postid=532136[/img] I think the background turned out pretty spiffy...and Leh said to "surprise" her. Hehe. I told her it was shocking, neh?

God, that was the best! I laughed so hard...(and I don't like Orlando Bloom, I like Johnny Depp. ^^) The ending was the best. *re-reads post and laughs like crazy again* You forgot to put my age! I'm 12! ------------------- After the strange mishap between Yuka and Katana, eveyone sat down at a table. Everyone was squished in, Katana and Amaya sat on either side of Sanouske (and appeared extremly happy), Kaz was in between Megumi and Kaoru and was blushing, Yuki and Kurumi sat next to Kenshin and looked pretty happy, while Yuka was beside Yahiko, the two arguing on who was getting the last bowl of rice. (Whew, long sentence.) "You say you came from the future," said Kaoru. "But how?" "I'sh dunno," said Katana, then swallowed her rice. "I don't know. I was just heading to Science and popped in here. In fact..." Katana put her hand on her chin and recalled her argument with Iva, "Me and my freind were arguing who was cuter, Sanouske or Kenshin. I went with Sano and she went with Kenshin..." Kenshin was smiling nervously, a sweatdrop on his face. Sanouske gave him a sarcastic grin. "I'm not sure how the rest got here, but pretty much the same way as I did." "Well," said Megumi, "Why do you think you were brought here?" The students thought for a minute. "Because...uh...whoever wanted us to be here did?" asked Kaz. He shrugged and went back to eating. It appeared to be his hobby. "Because we're special!" cried Yuka, holding up her chopsticks. Everyone sweatdropped and mumbled "You're very special." Kurumi thought. "I'm not sure," she said finally, "But it got me out of school." "Got me out of Science," said Katana. "Good thing too. We were going to continue watching some video made in 1983..." Yuki shrugged. "Not sure. Whoever controls time was bored, I suppose." Amaya pondered the subject and came up with an answer: "Ramen." "Umm...." came Kaoru's response. Kenshin spoke up. "Do you think you'll be able to get back?" "Nah," said Kaz. "And it's not such a big deal." He reclined the best he could on a pillow seat. "Nothin' back home for me." "Mee'n either," said Katana. "I don't care," said Yuka, "Family isn't the biggest thing on my agenda." "I miss my dad, that's about it..." said Amaya, staring at her bowl. "That's...kinda said," said Kurumi. "I miss my family and friends. I don't know how you three-" she looked at Kaz, Katana, and Yuka, "Don't miss your social relations." "It's because we don't," said Katana. "I don't have that great of relations, so buzz off." Yuki nodded. "I go with Kurumi. I really miss my family..." There were a few moments of silence. That is, until Kit came crashing through the window. "Woah!" cried Kaz, looking at Kit. His shoulder was dripping with blood. Kit looked at Kenshin, then passed out. "Megumi!" Katna yelled at the Fox, "You're a doctor! You hafta help him!" Megumi looked at the girl, schocked. "How did you know..." "No time!" said Kurumi, "Just help the dude!" -------------- PS: Yes, Yuka, you can. ^^

Ish be worried...no one but me and Swordsaint have posted that much...although I find it entertaining that some of you post at school. ^^ ------------------ Sanouske walked the kids through the hallway in silence. He suddenly turned into a room. "Hey Kenshin!" "Hello Sanouske. Miss Kaoru was wondering where you've been." Amaya whispered to Yuki, "Kenshin? He said Kenshin, right?" Yuki nodded. "Yup. At least, that's what I heard." "I was just hanging out with the guys and then, suddenly, I, uh...was attacked!" Kenshin made a small gasping noise. "By who? The Jupongatina (sp?) have all been defeated, that they have." Sanouske rubbed the back of his head. "Well, it wasn't by an enemy...more like..a kid." Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, and a few other people broke out in laughter. "A kid?" Yahiko shouted through laughter, "That's all?" "B-b-but...it wasn't just a kid! Some girl, with two swords! There were five others, two guys and three girls, all armed like assassins! The girl was pretty freaky though...she held on to me and wouldn't let go for a million zen (trying to think of Meiji currency...)! And then she drooled and fell over, and then got back up and danced around as if she had eaten fifty sugar cubes or something..." "Yup," said Yuka, sighing, "That's Katana for ya." Kaoru laughed. "A girl? Clinging on to you and wouldn't let go for anything?" Kenshin made a strange face. "Sano, you said they were armed like assassins..." "Yeah, that's the strange part. You know those police swordsmen who were killed? The two boys did that while the girls watched. And it gets even stranger. People on the steet say the appeared out of nowhere, out of bright lights, like demons or something." "How old were they?" Kaoru asked. "They're dead, right? No child could survive the police swordsmen and live to tell about it." Sanouske shook his head. "They're alive. And well. They weren't much older than Yahiko, younget being about 11 and oldest being around 14." Kaoru gasped. "W-what? How...how is that even close to possible?" "It is. They also say they came from this thing they call a 'Junior High'...what was it? Katikasha, I think. And they said it's in Tokyo." "They're not telling then truth, that's for sure," spoke up a voice. It was Megumi. "There's no such thing as Katikasha Junior High, whatever that's suppoossed to be." "Sano," said Yahiko, "You said that they're alive and well. What do you mean?" "Well...er...uh..." Sanouske looked for the answer. It suddenly popped into his brain. "I'll show you. Guys, come on in." Kaz, Yuki, Katana, Amya, Yuka, and Kurumi walked in nervously. Their weapons clinked lightly in their sheaths as they bowed and mumbled "Konichiwa." Everyone except Sanouske gasped. "How...how is it possible?" Kaoru asked. "Children? Carrying swords?" "We don't know either," said Kit, having the gut to talk again. "We just came from school, that's all." Everyone was watching them: Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, even those of the remaing Oniwaban, including Aoshi. ------------------- Yay...whoever chooses to tackle the next post in this place should have lots of fun to explain everything. ^^

Yayyy! Thanks! Okey, I'm all set for New Years! ^^ I found this really great website with Inuyasha images, the ones that aren't from the anime but have funny themes or something.

I thought it was hilarious though. ^^;

"Okay," said Sano, rolling his eyes at Kit's sudden disappearance. "Shall we go inside?" The five kids nodded. Sanouske walked up to the door and slid it open. From her point of view, Katana saw a small room (I'm trying to go from memory here) with a quarter of it raised up like a stage. There was a table right beside the stage with empty rice bowls on it. In the back of the room was a door, and on the right hand side was a door covered with a beaded curtain. "I have that," said Kurumi, pointing to the beads, "It's right in front of my bedroom door." "So do I," said Katana, "Except they glow in the dark." Sanouske looked at her with confusion, then shook his head. "I'm sure all of this will be explained..." he mumbled. The back door was generall just a hole in the wall. Sanouske stepped inside the front door and went through the back. It led to a hallway. Turning around to look at the uneasy students he said, "Come in already!" They did, uneasily. "It's looks just like it did in the anime..." Kaz half muttered, half whispered. "Yeah," Yuki replied. The five of them were in complete awe, as it could be easily sensed. Sanouske looked at the kids again. "Don't you know anything? Take off your shoes!" Shocked and embarassed, they mumbled "Yes sir..." Yuka slid off her sandals. "Ugh, I hate kimonos..." Katana now noticed what her sandals looked like. They were basiclly blocks with a large strap over the middle top. Kaz fumbled around with the boundings around his legs, eventually leading to him sitting on the floor with Kurumi helping him unravel them. Yuki, who had basiclly strings for shoes, untied them and threw them on the ground. She shrugged at Katana's confused look. "No big deal," Yuki said. Amaya, like Yuka, simply slipped off her sandels with no fuss. Kurumi pulled off what appeared to be normal shoes. To Sanouske's confused look she replied, "I, uh...made these myself. I, um, wanted something to cover all of my foot..." Luckily he bought it without a fuss. Kurumi heaved a sigh of releif. "C'mon," said Sano once the five were standing up again and in socks, "I'll introduce you guys to the crew." -------------- I dunno why, but the whole part of having to get off the shoes seemed entertaining to me. ^^ It was proving how different Meiji shoes were from present day ones.
