[COLOR=teal] Serena looked back over her shoulders ad the dragon took off behind Ryden and distanced her further away from Hiei and Ragnarok. The full rising moon caught her ey and she looked into is radiant light, feeling almost blinded by its glory. [I] Why, Hiei, why did you go?[/I] She took her eyes off the moon and began to fiddle around with the dragoon spirit in her pocket. She looked at it and thought of the promise she and Ragnarok made long ago. [I]Serena, if I die, I wish you to use my spirit to become a dragoon. Why should I have to do so, I will always have you....my friend.[/I] Soon tears began to fall on her sheek and she felt Hoshi's hand on her shoulder. Althought Hoshi still couldn't talk yet. She could feel what she was saying and dried her eyes. " Thank you Hoshi!"[/COLOR]

[COLOR=teal] Well I think many of you understand my opinion but there are other out there who don't... I guess it is religion but then I see it like this why try to mix religion and the world( secularism) I know too many ppl who try to do that and that's where they lose their religion...OOOPPS I think I'm getting offf subject her. But ppl don't take that the wrong way either Im not saying because your religious and love God that you'll lose him...Heck naw but If you believe that anime is too violent or against your belief than back off of it of find an anime more suitable to your own thoughts and beliefs. Trust me there are a few that don't overstep those boundaries and when you find em...LEt Me Know!!! LOL!!![/COLOR]

[COLOR=teal] Lorien was actuallt happy they all came by. She wanted someone else in the house with her since Sariyah left. In a way Hikomi took his place. She showed them to a room in which all the animals could stay wuth her. She didn't want to seperate Hikomi and the animals for she knew they wouldn't go and as she and Hikomi settled for a few drinks she began the comversation with pleasant talks. "So, how do you like it so far? I mean the room and all." [/COLOR] [COLOR=deeppink] "Its comfortable but if King and Ace settle in it too long they may not want to leave. They love the outdoors and stuff but they take to quickly to the luxuries of man."[/COLOR] [COLOR=teal] "I see," she started but began to turn to another conversation. "So why did you really come here? Did Claudio kick everyone out?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=deeppink] "Yeah a few people came by after you left and he came down stairs and demanded them to leave, even me."[/COLOR] [COLOR=teal] "Well," Loriens said putting her glass down. "Your welcome here for as long as it need be."[/COLOR] [COLOR=deeppink] "And I thank you but as I said we won't be here for too long."[/COLOR]

OC: Sorry haven't been here for a minute...but I hope Im back in full swing...Well on to the story!! [COLOR=teal] Senseing that she was in a bind right now she didn't know if Ragnarok had followed them or if she should go and return to him. "Well, I can't leave him behind." Well then,"said Ryden looking annoyed." Better do so quick. We only have 24 hrs to get as far away from Xaru as possible and hopefully be on the trail of the divine dragoon. Which is more important to you?" The question left Serena stunned for a moment. Now she had to choose. Ragnarok or her new friends. She didn't want to have to choose but she knew shat she had to do. She had to find the divine dragoon. Besides, Ragnarok was hopefully save and away from Gnarwood. She looked back in the direction of the town one more time then held her head down, turning back to everyone. "Let's go, I think he would want it this way." "Are you sure?" Zo said, "We can spare-" "Please, let's go now before I change my mind. He would absolutely hate for me to mess this up and I know that he's safe." A few tears dropped from her eyes then she headed towards Bakuchiku. "Let's go, I'll hang on to Hoshi." [/COLOR]

[COLOR=teal] Lorien and Luna left the tavern quickly. They stood out in the cool night air listening intently for anyon wandering around them. They began to walk and saw or heard no one and slowed their quickened pace. Luna walked behind Lorien as to keep a constant watch over Lorien. Lorien seeing that everything was okay asked Luna to be by her side. The pather quickly caught up but stayed ever vigilant of her surroundings. Soon they made it to Lorien's house. Luna stayed right beside the door as Lorien entered the house. Moments later she came back with a note. She tied it around Luna front leg but she quicly protested. "Okay now girl, I know you don't like to be tied down period, but I think it better here than around you neck. So please deliver this for me, its for Hikomi." Luna's protests deminshed and after she fastened the note Lorien sent Luna on her way. "Be safe Luna, I'll see you." She entered the house and went into the kitchen. "FOOD!!" Back at the tavern, Hikomi heard scrathes on the door. She opened up and saw Luna enter, she quickly closed the door behind her and noticed Luna biting at the note wrapped around her leg. [COLOR=deeppink] Okay, okay, I'll get if off! Hold on![/COLOR] She quickly loosened the wrap and read the note from Lorien. [I] Hikomi, Thank you very much for allowing Luna to escort me home. I like her very much. Also I'll be home for the night and I hope that all goes well at the tavern, be careful. But I realy do hope that you decide to come over here. I have plenty of room and be sure to bring Ace, King, Veritas, and of course Luna. I'll stay up for a few more hours and hope to see you. If not becareful and don't open the tavern for anyone, and I mean just that. Lorien [/I] [/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue] [I]Just one more period, just one more.[/I] Ms. M stared at the clock in her office watching the seconds tick away waiting, and hoping that the end of the day would come sooner. She was bored, for the first time she was absolutely bored. She loved the commotion within the school and loved being the tough one but the days around the tournament actually calmed the shcool down, and she got bored. As she imagined what she could do that evening instead of being referee, she thought of going out to eat or being with her boyfriend that night. "Oh, Kensuke," she began to say out loud. "Why did the tournament have to be this week. She let her head fall to the desktop and sat like that for a few minutes before she rose up and left the office. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue] Ms. M. saw the three leave her office and then went on her attack of the upperclassmen again. "Why must you always do something like this. Outta al the years I've dealt with you guys do you learn nothing. If you have a point to prove do it in the ring." The leader of the group was trying to interupt but Ms. M just went on. " But since this is the thrid time this ear that you guys have fought. You will officially be disquallified from the tournament." "WHAT?!! Ms. M how could you?" "Now leave my office I have nothing further to discuss with you. And if I hear one more thing you'll all be suspended. And you," she said pointing to the young man who ran away." A weeks detention, I saw you leaving the bathroom and you know I hate that." The three of them mumbled under their breath as they left the office. "And oh yeah, leave Akasuki alone. I hear you talking." "****" THey left her office and slammed the door behiond them

[COLOR=blue] Ms. Narusegawa stood in the hallway a few feet away from the bathroom, hidden amoung much of the clutter in the hallway. And thanks to the black lights her body didn't stand out. Hse just heard the fists fly and the comments from the bathroom. One boy ran from the bathroom quickly. I guess ashamed of losing or probably just too wimpy to keep fighting. [I] Hmm, he's got detention.[/I] She thought, knowing exactly who the young man was and remebered it in her head. She hated wimps, especially those who acted all big and bad but turned out to be cowrds. She punished them most of all. But soon her attentyion focused bac to the bathroom and heard no more words. Seeint that it was her chance to make an entrance she did just that. " Okay boys, time's up!" The two young men looked at each other and then her. "Ms. M what are you doing in the boy's bathroom." said Ars. The larger of the two boys. "Aww now don't tell me you're blushing at a women being here,besides AkaSuki is a girl" Her tone of voice changed quickly though and she grabbed him. "Now you get your gang up and come with me now." The smaller boy,Rue and AkaSuki stood there with nothing to say. "You too. Follow me." The rest of the young men got up and they all headed out of the bathroom. She marched with them down to the end of the hall to a classroom. Aiko was subbing for this class so she and the others marched in, unannounced. Ms. M. said her excuse me's and went to the end of an aisle and stopped in front of the young man she saw running fro the bathroom. He got up quickly and went with his group. "Thank you Aiko, see ya!" With no more said she left the room and they all went to her office.[/COLOR]

AWWW Back in my old stoming grounds... [COLOR=crimson] Oopps sorry people but I have to put my two cents in since I was thnking of exactly the sme thing a few nights ago. Although Buu is strong, much stronger than Cell. The Sayians had to pull alot more out of thier hat, do deal with Cell. Such as Gohan. Not only did he have to become stringer but he had to become a better fighter all around. When it came to Buu, you can easily beat him but its his powers you really have to worry about. Such as the regenration. I mean you coud blow Buu up into ashes and yet the stubborn bastard would come back. But Cell he had a lot more fighting tactics( of the fighters) that he could use against them. Buu, well of course had his strength and durablity. But in thier own ways each of the villians were very equal. But as forward as all around villian Cell has Buu beat. He was just co confident and cocky but yet laid back. Buu was just too childish and at times go on my freakin nerves[/COLOR]

[COLOR=blue] Ms M. stepped back into her office after patrolling the halls all morning. Now that everyone was in class. Or she hoped everyone was in class she stepped in to tak a few breathers before wandering into the masses once again. [I]Ahh, Tylenol, please please make this day go by quicker.[/I] She slammed the pills in her mouth and down the hatch they went. "Now all I need is a strong drink." She stared into the small refridgerator in hre office and pulled out a bottle. "But I guess OJ will have to do." She quickly chugged the remaining contents of the bottle and threw it in the trash can. She sat don and looked ove the paper hoping that things would slow down for a minute. Too late. "Ms. Narusegawa, there is trouble in th boys restroom in the left wing, second floor." "Great, thanks Ms. Hosuki, I'll be there." She stood up and left her office quickly. "When I get my hands on those boys....."[/COLOR]

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Stick Fairy [/i] [B]Marketing doesn´t screw up anime, it screws up people´s perception of anime. It causes people to group anime with cartoons. And if they group Ranma with Powerpuff girls because of a Gundam toothbrush, that´s just wrong. [/B][/QUOTE] Thats a good point there. For many years I've like pokemon. But I see so much of it now that I kinda of get tired of seeing it everywhere. Now don't get me wrong the anime is good and cute and yes I love Pikachu, but seeing it all over the place just make you indifferent to it or merely tired of it. This reminds me of the Elmo situation how a group of grown-ups rolled over one with a bulldozer. People get tired of seeing Elmo, but they won't stop their kids from watching, so it promotes anime but to a point it drive some away.

[COLOR=blue][SIZE=1] Throughtout my experience at Otakuboards.com, I have seen various people talking about demons, spirits and other things in anime that just don't boad well with their personal beliefs or religion. Well here I wish for you to talk about why you feel that way. This is a chance for you to express you opinion. Please note the following things before posting.... [/SIZE][SIZE=4][B][U] 1. No argueing whatsoever...you cant make people change ther ideals so don't agrue about it here please or a moderator will close it. 2. No spam. Post only one time and if someone speaks to you directly PM them with your answer or a moderator will close it.[/U][/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=1] I want this to e a chance to say see what people think that way we can learn abot our fellow 'otaku' even more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I personally don't mind things that are present in anime, wheter it be demons, spirits, ghosts, witches, vampires, whatever. They are apart of many cultural folklore and have a right to be talked about to this day. The reason artisits and creature put them within their works is to express just that. [Their opinion or thoughts, or flights of fantasy(whatever you want to call it)] And I persoanlly want to see what other people have to say or show, thats why I watch anime, just like I watch TV, movies and other cartoons. I personally think if you have such a close-minded view of that, then you should seperate yourself from that. But if you do, then appreciate and respect other peoples works, and don't complain about it being to this or that... We can't change how you see things and you can't change ours so just leave it like that.[/SIZE][/COLOR] OOC:To azurewolf.. I was not reffering to those withing the anime but to those tht watch it. People like anime but complain about what is in it. Those are who I am talking about.

Well Aoshi, I completely understadn your veiw pint on that but when it comes down to demons being apart of it, that is how life was in fuedal Japam...you have to think bot it in that way...Demons aprrear in many of the older religouns of Asia, even in India, but you have the people who rise up against these people. But that was what the story was mainly hitting on. The religion of fuedal Japan vs. the advancement of man. But althogher the anime was excelltent and the storyline was great as well. Besides whats's history without folklore....

[SIZE=1][COLOR=teal] Both Lorien and Hikomi had nothing to say to each other for a moment and just sat back in the tavern thinking. As she went into hr memories she began to remember her childohood with Sariyah and Renie. She rembered Renie having crush on her brother which made her laugh to herself, then flashed to memories of her brother picking on her, then turning around to protect her. He always was like that and could only think of him a bit more. Since they had left their home he became more like a father thana broher which had its disadvantages. She soon shifter her thoughts to other things. ANd hunger began to creep in her mind and belly. "Um, Hikomi, is there anything good for me to snack on?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=deeppink] "Um I'm not sure I just gave the animals the last bit of meat unless you want fruit or something, I can search."[/COLOR][COLOR=teal] "Don't worry about it I can go to the house and get something and bring it back, besides it'll be dark soon and if I don't return the Charles will go nuts. Hikomi sat down again and waited a momnt before responding. [COLOR=deeppink] I don't think you should leave just yet. He may be waiting to attack and if he attacks you as you are...." [/COLOR] Hikomi stopped before finishing her words. Lorien knew what soul come out and she lnew that she cou;d not withstand another attack. "Okay I'll just wait then." She sat on again in silence and just looked around the tavern to keep her my busy and off her stomach.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=blue] A tall dark-haired lady stood amoung the crowd of students. Many passed by and acknowledged her while others stood around staring to make sure she didn't notice them. Many of the students like Ms. Narusegawa while others dispised her, she knew it too. Many a day had she seen egg on her car, broken glass and other items that showed dislike. But she went on. As she passed by the onlookers she acknowledged them and went on. She didn't really care what th students did so after she passed they continued with their activities. She walked cool and calmly down the hall where Aiko bumped into her. "Hey Ms. M (for Mitoko)" she said now walking with the lady. "Is everything all set for tonight." "Yeah, things are in order right now, but who knows, just like last yeah the event can get outta control, but I hope to start that this year." "How so?" Ms. M looked down at Aiko and walked quietly along the hall. "You haven't answered me!" "Well right here isn't the place that these things should be discussed, we will meet later and talk okay." "Okay Ms. M, but I'm off. See ya." The strawberry haired girl quickly turned around and trotted down the hall. Ms M. kept going stoppping an occasional student to either bug them or just say hi. Soon she headed to her office where another day of micheif and mayhem could take place.[/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=teal] Lorien quickly sat down and asked for a drink. Hikomi: You look very ill and weak, why are you outside? Lorien: Okay now I don't need you to be my mother too. But Im surprised you dont know. Hikomi went back to Veritas after getting Lorien a drink of water. Lorien: Know what? Last night I heard a lot of commotion but I was not looking on the matter. As Lorien tried to relax as much as possible she relayed the whole story of the snakeskin bandits coming into town. Also of the kisnapping of Renie and the party trying to find them and retrieve her. Hikomi: And now you are out against your brothers will because? Lorien laughed at Hikomi's expression. Lorien: I cant believe you dont know my attitude by now. I've done so much work for this tiwn how could you think this would keep me down. Hikomi: Thats probably why it happened. You need to rest. Lorien looked at Hikomi who now tended to Ace and King. She kneeled down to the dogs and studied them carfeully. The stood back up and retrieved a few things from behind the bar. She came back around and gave the animals a bit of water. Hikomi: Now I'm not saying you deserved the beating but you work way to hard to be only...20 right? Lorien nodded. Hikomi: You need to relax thought? Lorien: I guess you're right? The two stopped speaking for a moment when an unesy quiet came about them. Lorien restarted the conversation. Lorien: What do you thik he meant that Veritas would lead him to a treasure. Hikomi: Thats is one thing I do not know, but either way I think he will try to return. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=teal] Alexandra, Alex she usual called herself, was about the smalltown of Veridana looking for any clues to her family at all. She knew that her family used to live in this area but nothing seemed to come up. [I]Another dead end.[/I] She stepped into a small cafe for a bit to eat and cam to the table, all she wanted was a cup of coffee and she took it down quickly. Waitress: Dang girl you keep drinking it like that you'll burn off your tounge. Alex laughed at the comment, she knew that it didn't hurt but what did the lady know. Alex: Thanks for the cmment, I may use it next time. Bye! She put the mney on the table and walked out as quickly as she entered. She raised her face in the wind but something seemed different. Her senses piked up on something, someone near. She had no idead of what or who it could be but the feeling felt like home. Like a piece of her missing that she needed to find. As she turned into the wind it blew calmly with a taste if fear lingering. She felt this before, long ago when her mother died as if this fear was the element that took her away. She didn't know, she knew nothing but this sense may help her to figure that out. She walked slowly throught the town and continued out into the country, just walking, wandering as she had done so many other times. Hoping that at the end of this trail her questions will no longer linger. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

To verify things I have the 26 episodes that Tical is talking about. You say that there are three seasons well then what exactly is with the three seasons. The collection I hold occur from when Momji joins the TAC to the defeat of the creatures. I wasn't aware a second series was out..Can you tell me the name of the second series Tical!!!

[COLOR=darkblue] HHHMMMMMM.. I don't really know wheter to say if anime has changed me. I don't think anything can really change a person but they can have an influence on your life. That's what anime has done. It is just something that appeals to me and it also allows me to open my mind more. Like many animes have various themes behind them and you have to open your mind to understand the majority of them. A couple of anime's that have done that are Ghost in the Shell, Akira and Trigun. You have to see things from the character prospectyive and sometimes in can influence you postiviely or negatively. But anime has had a positive influence on me. It just allowed me to veiw another cultures ideals and show an artists beliefs.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=teal][SIZE=1] [I]Thank goodness, I'm finally outside.[/I] It seemed like forever the knock to her head kept her a little dizzy but she was able to sustain it ans just moved slowoly. Luckily she had also grabbed a staff in odred to staey her as she walked along outside. Although not particularly bright, the day seemed to carry a sort of hope with it. Hope that Renie and Sariyah were fine. Lorien still blamed herself though for Renie capture and knew she had to find a way to make herself more helpful for the town. She walked along and saw a few people busying themselves with chores. She called out to them and they waved back. Wondering about her friends she decided to wonder off to the tavern to see what was going on in that area. Whe she got to the door. She opened it and walked in. Lorien: Hello, Kell, Claudio, you guys here. No on answered and she stepped in the door to sit down. Before her stood Hikomis animals who seemed to be keeping watch on the door. Lorien: Hey Ace, King, and Luna, where's Hikomi. The three animals although nice to her sensed a bit of danger and ran to the back. Veritas, now sitting on the bar counter let out a quick cry and Lorien went off to the back. She followed the animals but was sure to be quiet and heard them backing upstairs. They went to Hikomi's door but saw it was closed and started to stract at it. Lorien bypassed the animals and slowly opened the door. Before she could do anything else Luna quickly sprang through the door and jumped and grabbed the mystery man's hand making him drop the knife. In the process thogh, she knocked both Hikomi and the man over but kept a grip on the, now knife-less hand. Ace and King also bolted inside and stood over the man and growled loudly. Lorien was quickly behind them and rushed over to thier side. Lorien: Are you okay Hikomi? Hikomi: Yeah I am, but I could have still handled thing is you didn't show up. Lorien : I don't doubt that. Lorien put out a hand and helped Hikomi up from the ground. The animals now hovered over the man. He was howling in pain due to the panthers bite, but didnt move. ???: Tell this damned cat to let go of my hand, NOW!!!! Hikomi: First things first. Tell me who you are and why you tried to hurt me?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Thought now in forset care she bacame even closer to her mom and also more curious of her father and her past. "Alex, your father was, you may not believe it, but he wasn't human."

[COLOR=teal][SIZE=1] Yuriko's heart skipped a beat when she heard the announcement. "Yes, yes we may finnaly be set free of the name this world has put on us." For a moment she could feel everyone's eyes looking upon her as if she was crazy. "Ooops, sorry I always get over dramatic when I hear things like that." The rest of her group fell on their backs, legs sticking up in the air hearing such a thing. Soon the all regained their composure and talked about the sudden announcment. "So do you think its a trick?" Aymelak asked. "Who knows but at least we ave an idea of where to start,"Theon added. "I just hope they hae some clues at to where to find Callipso. Man this year has been crazy, all I can say is about time." Tortodog addad. "I think we all feel that way, but when should we set out?" "SOON," everyone agreed and answered in unison. "So shall we just warp there or go to the small town and restock." "Lets restock, we don't want it to be a trick and we're unprepeared," Amyelak said. The other nodded their heads and they continued to rest for the evening befroe setting out in the morning.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=teal][SIZE=1] Charles came back in a descent amount of time and she sorted throught the papers. As she re ogranized everything she began to worry about her brother and the group and hoped that all was going well. Last night not only shook her up but almost got her seriously hurt as well. She only wished now that Renie and her would've talked more that way maybe she and Renie could've possibly been in town the night the situation happened. Soon she shook herself outt that thought and continued to concentrate on her work. As she looked over the paperwork on the Bandits, she saw the amount of territory they had been through. She couldn't really understand why such a group would do such a thing but realized that people like them had no sense of pity or reason. She kept flipping the pages. Tuning over more and more information. But she realized the post. She called to Charles. He came quickly and stood by the door. Lorien: Have I recieved any letters at all today. Charles: So far ma'am none, but its still a little early, the post usually arrives later in the afternoon. Lorien: Thank you, Charles, that is, oh yeah before I forget how's everyone else in town fairing with this event. Charles: There isn't much commotion. Luckily, Sariyah explained things to many people so word has been spread around quickly. People are acting like usual but you can feel a bit or nervousness in the air. Lorien: Thank you, that is all. He turned and left quietly leaving her to finish her work. As she continued to look on outside, she hated to be locked up in a bed. It just wasn't her thing and soon she got up and got dressed. She wrote a note and left it on the door and exited the house quickly and quietly. [I] Fresh air, finally I can relax.[/I] [/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=teal][SIZE=1] Although Lorien was told she needed rest she knew that she could not do so with Renie out there alone. Now she wished that she wasn;t so helpless and could go along to help them out. She lifted up in the bed and found herself getting very dizzy.[I} He must've did a number on me.[/I} She rubbed her head and sat for a few moments to see if the dizzt spell would soon leave her. After a few minutes it did and she got up and looked out of the window, she was in time to see her brother and the posse ride away to find the Snakeskin bandits. "Hold on Renie, Sariyah'sgonna find you real soon." With that she turned away and headed back to her bed. She saw the tray of food sitting there and grabbed a few slices of apple that were placed there. Eating them slowly she remembered what she had done last night and called to Charles. He came after a few moments. Charles: Yes ma'am, what is it? Are you okay? The sound of concern poured from his mouth and he came close to her. Lorien: Of course, Charles I am fine but I need you to do a favor for me. Charles: Of course ma'am anything. Lorien: Go to the mayor's office and go to my desk. There is a bunch of paperwork laying about. Just stack them nicely and bring them back here for me to examine. Charles: Ma'am you really should be resting.. Lorien: When I finish my work I will, now that Sariyah is gone I must do my best to fill his shoes. I cannot lay about all day and wallow in pain and pity, no GO!! Without another word from his lips Charles turned around and headed out the door.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
