O.O

WOW... I definitely cannot believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There's gotta be a problem somewhere, really XDD 2008 is definitely turning into the best year EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, because it's the first year I'm able to go to conventions; there was this one in Montpellier in end of January or February, which was quite small but still, it was my first one so XDD and then this week-end there was the first con ever in Perpignan!!!! Finally we have something here!!!! It was small too and yet there were far more things than in Montpellier (which is a bigger city =__=) HAHAHA we pwn'ed them *proud* There were Kendo demonstrations, Iaido, Jodo, Kyudo, Do-in, Kempo, a Shakuhachi and Koto concert etc... Iaido and Kempo were really impressive *___* The cosplay however was quite short and not very well organized, compared to Montpellier... I'll probably post videos when I'll be able to transfer them into my computer XDD
And I so a book there to help draw samurai and all that, I think I'm gonna buy it next time I go to my shop because I'd really like to try to draw for my WSIA story!!! I've never really drawn without a model (when I did, it sucked big time T.T) so I'd really need all the help I can find XDD
AND THEN!!!!!!!!!! The week-end after next, I'll finally be able to go to the Japan Expo in Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The biggest con in France XDD I can't wait for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >w< I am sooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I already know the answer of course (LOL) but, is anyone here going to this con too?? Anyone you know who is going??? I know there isn't a chance but heh, might always ask, who knows XDDD I'm going alone so I'll feel quite lonely XDD I hope I'll be able to meet some of the other members of the scanlation team I belong to!!!

AND THE SECOND THING IIIIIIIIIIIS: I finally received my first Japanese exam, the written one, and guess what?????????????? I GOT FULL MARKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >w< >w< >w< >w<
*SQUEE OF DOOM*
I really can't believe it!!!!! It is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And today is my day XDD Dunno if you people know that in France we have one day for each name (one day for each saint) and today it is me >w< >w< What a wonderful gift for today!!!!! *happy sigh*
I can now die a happy fangirl!!!! Erm, no, not yet, but in two weeks I'll be able to XDDD

I am hungry now!!!! Buh-Bye~!!!!

~~YAY!!! 2 Junjou eps to catch up >w<~~

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-06-17T10:31:42Z

OMG!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got my result from my second Japanese exam, which was an oral one, and... I got full marks O.O I can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really thought I'd done crap!!!!!!!!! *SQUEEEEEEE* Haha I even cried a bit when I saw the marks!!!! How stupid!!!! >w<

WAHAHAHAHA!!!!! *over-excited*
Now I have to wait for my first exam, the written one... It takes a lot more time to come back... Yeah you have to send written exams by post, and they take at least 4 weeks to come back =___= but oral exams you can send with internet, and they only took 5 days to correct it ♥w♥

Haha!!!! Look what the teacher told me: "Audrey-san, konnichiwa ^-^ Hajime mashite. It's yuko. You really did an excellent job and you pronunciation surprised me!! ^-^ It was really good!! All the best!"

Notes: Heh!! Did anyone even remember that I used to write?? Lol!!!
Okay, so this is a completely awfully cracky fic, I think it's the second I ever wrote so it's quite old, you'll definitely realize it I think... Not that the ones I write now are much better but still... Anyway, I realized I never posted it so here it is!!! As a 'come-back' fic XP

[Edit] A HUGE thanks to kiyala-chama, who corrected my ~~numerous~~ mistakes!!!! I love you!!!!! *hugs tightly* ♥♥♥

Just like any other Saturday, Ichigo was spending the day at Uryuu’s flat. They had decided that Ichigo would stay with the Quincy for the weekend, as they had quite some homework to do.

And of course, like any other peaceful evening, a Hollow appeared. So they got out together to fight like any other day, back to back, carefully watching the other from the corner of their eyes.

When they had finally gotten rid of the masked beast, they walked back to the apartment. Uryuu headed directly for the kitchen to prepare a meal while Ichigo headed directly for the bathroom to take a shower.

Ichigo, as a Shinigami, wasn’t fighting in his own body, so one may ask why the boy always had to clean himself after a fight. It was not like they were getting injuries by fighting against those kinds of Hollow.

No, in fact, it was something they didn’t quite understand, and even stopped bothering about after quite some time laughing or arguing:

When the orange-haired boy got out of his body, he laid it somewhere near where they have to fight, so as to return quickly into it after the fight. But then, as the fight began, Hollow blood always spurted everywhere, and the lifeless body would always be where the blood landed. Always. Even when he decided one day to put it safely away from the fight, they ended up fighting near the body.

Was it because Ichigo’s body, even lifeless, still attracted the monsters? Was it that Ichigo always dragged the battle unconsciously towards his body? Was it that Uryuu always dragged the battle unconsciously towards his boyfriend’s body to keep an eye on it? These were the questions they stopped asking themselves, growing tired of being unable to answer them.

However, this was all that Uryuu was thinking about while the other was silently taking his shower. Uryuu was beginning to savour those silent moments during which he could think properly. Not that he disliked the other’s presence, on the contrary; he just thought that Ichigo should admit he often spoke too much.

Ichigo, on his part, would retort that moments of silence were not meant to last; because he knew far too well that the dark-haired boy was thinking more than he should, and when he began thinking a lot, he wouldn’t even sense a Hollow until he bumped into it.

Indeed, that would explain why he dropped his knife in surprise as Ichigo encircled him from behind.

“Kurosaki! Are you mad?” he shouted, getting out of the other boy’s hold to pick the knife up. “What the hell do you think you wer–”

He stopped dead in his sentence, dropping the knife again as he was standing up to face the other boy.

At first, he was far more than astonished to say something, looking at the Shinigami with wide eyes and mouth agape while the other looked back questioningly, wearing nothing but a towel.

But then, Uryuu suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his sides tightly.

It was Ichigo’s turn now to be completely taken aback by the other’s behaviour. His boyfriend rarely smiled, and he had never seen him laugh like that, so much that he was even crying.

“Uryuu? What’s the matter?” he finally asked, as the boy didn’t seem to be able to stop. He was even beginning to feel irritated to see how the other was laughing at him.

Finally, the Quincy managed to contain his laugh, taking his glasses off to wipe his eyes with the back of his hand.

“Are you going to tell me what the hell that was for?”

“Ha… Haha… I’m sorry! Haha… Why… Hahaha!!” he tried to say, pointing at Ichigo’s hair, before laughing again.

“What?” the other boy replied, touching his hair. “What’s with my hair?”

“HAHAHA!! Go… haha… mirror…”

While Uryuu was still holding his sides, laughing uncontrollably, Ichigo went back to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

Uryuu finally calmed down when he heard his boyfriend shout.

“FUCK! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?”

“Uryuu!” he screamed, storming back in the kitchen. “What happened to my hair?!”

“I’m the one who should ask you that!”

“But…” the boy practically whined, trying to look up at some of the hair he was pulling on. “Why the hell do you have pink hair dyer!?”

“Oh… Ichigo?” Uryuu asked suddenly. “Did you… use… the red bottle?”

“Well… yeah…” he answered, suddenly looking away, blushing. “It was written ‘Strawberry scented’ on it, I thought it might be fun…”

“Well, it was! However... it’s not shampoo.”

“What?”

“Erm… It’s… clothes dye…” Now it was his turn to look away, embarrassed.

“What the hell are you doing with strawberry-scented clothes dye?!!”

“Well, I thought it might be fun,” he replied.

“Well, it isn’t! How am I going to get rid of that now?”

“I’ll help you wash it out if you want. It might take all tomorrow however… It’s not meant to vanish after one washing… Let’s hope it does not stay on hair as long as it does on clothes,” the boy answered seriously. “But…” he then added, reaching out to take Ichigo’s head in his hands and pulling him towards him to put his nose in his hair, inhaling deeply. “It smells good.”

“It better!!” the other retorted, pulling the other up to sit him on the work-top before kissing him.

“Ichigo…” Uryuu moaned between kisses. “I was cooking.”

“But for the moment, there’s only one thing I want to eat,” Ichigo replied.

And everything that happened before that was completely forgotten as they practically devoured each other’s mouth.

Uryuu’s glasses were put safely aside, his blue and white clothes were dropped to the floor and Ichigo’s towel flew to the other side of the small room; chicken and rice left alone to go cold, long forgotten.

It wasn’t long before they were rendered breathless; panting, groaning and moving in unison, putting everything that needed to be said into their actions. For the moment, all that mattered was themselves, all that needed to be taken care of was the other.

Finally, they moaned each other’s names blissfully. Their names sounded sacred in each other’s voices, filled with adoration.

Ichigo dropped his head heavily against the other’s chest and Uryuu tilted his head to rest it against his lover’s.

“Ichigo!” he suddenly exclaimed, looking at his glasses beside him. “You dirtied my glasses again!”

He reached out take his glasses and opened the nearest drawer on his left without moving from his sitting position to retrieve his glasses cleaner.

That was another question that they were unable to answer. Every time that they would make love out of his or Ichigo’s bed, his glasses would get stained no matter where they were.

“Hey!” the pink-haired boy cried out in indignation. “You’re the one who —”

He suddenly stopped, suddenly smelling the sweet scent of…

“Why does it smell suddenly like —?”

He stopped again, snatching the pink glasses cleaner from Uryuu’s hands and inhaling it.

“What the hell! It smells like strawberry too!!” he exclaimed while the other boy looked away, blushing.

Ichigo looked into the drawer to see if there were others like that.

“What the —”

Yet, it wasn’t at the end of his surprises as he drew out a small packet and waved it in font of Uryuu’s face.

“Do you smoke?”

“No!” the other answered without a hesitation. “Of course not!”

“Then, what’s with that pack of strawberry-flavoured cigarettes?”

“It’s called Modern Science!”

“Yeah, right… But… strawberry-scented cigarettes? Anyway, what are you doing with all this strawberry stuff?”

This caused the other boy to look away again, really embarrassed.

“Well… sometimes, when I feel lonely, just by smelling something strawberry-scented, I feel better…”

This time, it was Ichigo’s turn to laugh a little, even though he was blushing slightly. Putting the strawberry-scented things back in their drawer, he pulled the Quincy’s head down for a passionate kiss.

“Well then, tonight you’ll have a human-sized strawberry just for yourself.”

***OWARI***

Notes : It's crap isn't it? XDD It had been inspired by this old icon from I don't remember who ~~I swear I thought I'd written the name somewhere but it's been so long that I can't find where u__u;~~ and by the themes from the ishi_ichi comm: #1 - The colour pink, #4 - Strawberries, #6 - Cigarettes, #10 - Eye-glasses cleaner, #11 - Hair dye, #12 - Modern Science... Ah well, everyone has to begin somewhere, right?? XP

Oh what a night!

It was the first time we tried that, and it was so cool!!!!!!! Running everywhere and feeling like you're in MGS loool Though if you stay too much in that thing you might become paranoiac, always expecting someone to pop out in front of you XDDD Anyway, I 'killed' a lot of time XDDD (and was killed a lot too but my team still won hahaha!!!!!!!!!!

Nyah!!!!!! >w< Thanks to her I could finally start writing it seriously, and not just fragments that would wait until I had everything settled!!!!! Everything will be explained in another post, 'The Official WSIA Announcement Post' LOL!!!!! It will mostly be a presentation of the main characters and a quick explanation of what I have in mind for the moment for the story, and if you all behave well, perhaps you'll have an extract of the beginning of the first chapter XDD
Oh and I also found a pretty old fic, that might have been the second I wrote, that I realised I had forgotten to post, so I'm going to correct some mistakes and then I'll post it XDD Ah, I also have to post a new version of 'Black and White, Red and Blue' (mostly becauce there was a lot of typos in it) and I have to finish your b-day present, dndchic (yes, still not finished...

2008-04-09T17:09:19Z

Mrawr!!!!! I shouldn't have bought Assassin's Creed, this game is terribly AWESOME *____* I mean, I don't come to lj so that I can work properly, but there I go buying games that I get hooked to (and I hadn't been that hooked to a game since Twilight Princess, so that's something to say XDD I usually start thousands of games which are still unfinished now lol!!!!) I swear I couldn't put it down for the entire week-end (well, apart from when I had to go to a burial and then to see my cousin who gave birth the same day) and I didn't do a single essay XDDD and I'm happy about it LOL!!!!
Anyway, I've realised that I have a hood kink >w< or at least a kink for people that have their heads hidden by a piece of cloth or hair *¬*

I mean, what with the extremely hot Prince of Persia ~~not my fault he has no name XD~~:

Now with Altaïr:

Well, there are much more I'm sure but I'm quite stuck on that two for that example XP

Plus a confirmation of my sword kink XDDD Swords fights are damn hot and hot men with swords and hood or long hair equals me on cloud 9 XDDD Guns suck (even though they can be hot too; try Dean for example XDDD)

Ah well... I can't help it if they're hot... And I want to go back hooooooome to playyyyy >____< (plus I can't wait to be able to buy a DS this summer so that I can play on the DS version XDD ~~+Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, etc etc of course!~~)

Oh by the way Charlie, thanks for last time for trying to help me!!! Now my 'boss' sent me the original scans and well everything is far more clearer XDDD I mean, like, EVERYTHING XDD I've realised that half of the team scanlation had no meaning XDD How is your team going?

That's all, folks XD I like coming back to post useless things XDD

On a < s >hungry< /s > funny note

2008-03-27T17:03:38Z

Nyaha!!!!!! I'm just here to share the most awesome video EVER!!!!!!!!!!! I love it!!! I can't help watching it again and again and again!!! It makes me even laugh by myself during classes XDDDD

Oh, and it won't be funny much if you don't watch Supernatural.
(Though, if you don't watch, you should definitely be ashamed of yourself XDDD It is enormous!! It is brilliant!!! ~~It is ghei!!!!!!!~~

Hehe!!! Enjoy!!!!!!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>w<
Damn they're so dorky I love them!! I love this series!!!!!!!!!!!

And with that, I'm off again!! LOL!! I definitely suck at lj these times, eh?? Oh well, know that Daishe-chan has awakened again recently and is definitely finishing to write your b-day fic, dndchic!!!!

O____O

Oh shit.

B-days...
I think I have missed quite a few ones, haven't I??? Heck... If that's the case, please forgive me and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to those of you that I did forget!!!

URGENT HELP NEEDED!!!

2008-03-05T17:56:07Z

Hullo there!!!!!
Guess who it is!!! lol!! Yeah, you know, the one who says 'YAY I'M BACK' when in the end she's just as much absent as before... =__=;
I'm fucking tired of Uni, again lol!!! Even though I managed quite well for the first semester. But heck I can't wait to be June, when hopefully I will finish EVERYTHING FOREVER!!!!!!!! >w< And I'll be able to take proper Japanese courses!!! YAY!!!
Anyway... Until then I still have to put up with Uni and the fucking things they give us to do...
But, I don't want to drop my scanlating job, and that is what brings me here today!!! I have been given a new project, and I've been having some trouble to translate two little passages, which probably idiomatic phrases that I really don't know how to translate; and so I wanted to ask if anyone of you could explain the sentence to me?? *~*

So it's in Waru
[These scans are from the scanlation team Forever More]

Fist there's this one expression that I've never heard before: what is a "hooting horse"??? I've been thinking it is probably something related to the Bible??
In context:

And then, how would you explain this sentence: "I'm not part of your ignore list..."???
In context:

Oh and also, what's an SP???
In context:

HELP ANYONE???? PLEASE???
*puppy eyes*

To thank you in advance,

PICTURE OF RYUTARO, from Plastic Tree YAAAAAAAAY!!!

Damn, if it hadn't taken 9 years for my hair to reach my arse, I would have gotten the same haircut!!! I love it!!!!! ♥♥

Wow, Tuesday!!

2008-02-05T18:09:38Z

WHEEWWW..... I was supposed to come back on Thursday after my exams, but guess who's got the best luck in the world???? Yes... =__=;
It had been a pretty fucked up week last week... Last Monday everything was 'great', translation went well, (taking my time I had finished in an hour for a three hour exam...) and then, come Tuesday morning, I woke up and felt like a fucking iceberg... I went to the other translation exam with 2 sweaters on, 2 jackets, gloves and scarf, which I didn't take off inside the room, and I was SOOO cold during the exam, and my head was ready to burst... There again, I took my time and had finished after an hour... But this time I don't know how it went, because I don't remember anything... It turned out to be the flu of course, and that was so intelligent really, with the British History oral on Thursday... On Wednesday it was damn worse, so it was definitely very easy to work for the oral... yep... Well and on Thursday it wasn't better, I couldn't speak very loud and kept coughing every 2 sentences and blowing my nose... what a great oral!!!
But the rest of the exams went relatively well I think. I thought it'd be worse.
Though I'm still sick right now... I weren't able to go see a doctor before Thursday evening... The upside is that I needed rest so I spent the entire week-end (thursday evening to monday, yay!) playing!!! That's awesome!!! An entire week-end of KH2 (I finally got my hands on it and it's already nearly finished lol! though I stopped early yesterday because Demyx is ~~hot~~ pissing me off with his fucking ten clones in ten seconds... grrr) I probably was stupid enough to play the 2 before the 1 XDD

Does anyone know Plastic Tree?? It's awesome!! I discovered them some 4-5 weeks ago I think, I have 4 songs I LOVE of them, and especially one PV.
I'll put them, if anyone is interested.

Plastic Tree - Kuuchuu Buranko
The first one I heard of them, and I LOOOOOOVE it!! Especially since I heard it with the PV and the PV is so gorgeous... You might definitely want to go see it ♥♥

Plastic Tree - Sanbika
The second one I love!! It's awesome too!!!

Plastic Tree - Melancholic
Plastic Tree - Namida Drop
And these two are definitely awesome too!!!

Oh and that makes me think: no, I haven't given up on the FST lol!! I'm still working on it, but I keep getting better song to put in it so I'll wait for a bit still!

HOWEVER!! I've given up on presents lol!!! I finally won't be doing Christmas presents, I can't... There seems to be so much to do this semester again... 5 books to read and all... + all the fics I have to catch up since April or something... =___= all would be so much simpler if I liked only one or two pairings (Drarry definitely doesn't help with its thousands of gorgeous novel-length fics! *sighs* I wish it were the same for Ichiuri...)...
I'm definitely sorry guys... With the end of uni in june I hope I'll defintely be able to make it up to you all next year. Though I'm not giving up on your present, dndchic, I just have troubles to find a way to end it ;___; anyone willing to help will definitely be welcome =P *puppy eyes*
And there probably won't be b-day presents this year... I definitely suck at time limits...
But maybe I'll post one or two fics this semester, with a big MAYBE XP In fact I have some 4 or 5 fics that are started, but which I don't have time or motivation to finish for the moment. I'm more in a mood to read during uni time, since when there's uni I'm frustrated, when I'm frustrated I need to listen to music, and I can't listen to music when I write, so yeah, not compatible... *sighs*

OKAY! That's enough!!! I'm now going to, er... I don't know... Since I'm still sick I still don't have any thing I want to do... I'm probably going to force myself to read some fics, or else I'll be bored... *sigh* I'm already damn bored. I hate being sick.

OMFG

2008-01-22T23:10:09Z

God... I just come back for a small moment to say that, fuck, what's going on these days??? I mean, yesterday I learned that a friend of mine and ex-best friend just lost her father, now my best friend tells me his boyfriend just lost a friend of his, and now Heath Ledger is dead. Just... WTF, seriously?? Someone tells me it's all a joke, please. So much celebrities have died this summer, and kept on going on after that, and now it doesn't want to stop, attacking younger ones now. FUCK. What is all this about??
Heck. I am going to bed to weep properly under the covers. My newly-bought Pikachu plushie might help get over all these things. And please don't tell that one of you lost someone.

R.I.P. everyone, you'll never be forgotten.

And the Bitch strikes back...

Fuck... RL is back in full force... Exams are in about 2 weeks from now, and I did absolutely NOTHING during the holidays, other than playing and reading...
Fuck.
And now I have to study like hell for these two weeks; thus, the least I can do is no LJ... No fic reading... Fuck. I am going to die of frustration, believe me. FUCK.
See you in probably 3-4 weeks.
Fuck.

Bonne année !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MINNA-SAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I definitely hope that you all had/will have a whole lot of marvelous presents that will keep you happy until next Christmas!!!!! ♥♥

On a sadder note, I have to repeat again a fact that has been by now witnessed by all: once again, I failed... As you might have noticed, I haven't been able to produce a single present... And I am damn ashamed... It's not that I lack of ideas, quite the contrary... I currently have 5 fics that are started, and I am really struggle to find a suitable ending for any of them... And that's even more a shame since one of them was due for August *^^* Oh, hell... I suck at time limits, definitely and irremediably...
But hey, like hidden_gems said ~~when I was late for her present~~, isn't it good to have late presents?? XDD It's like Christmas is coming twice XDDDD ~~yeah, well, I'm trying to find positive points in my fail-ness~~

But still, I DO WISH TO EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS ♥

Much love to you all!!! And once again, I beg for forgiveness!!!

DEFINITELY YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I never cried so much from happiness in my whole life...
It all begins on Wednesday, nee-san gave me 2 posters of FFVII A.C. (one Seph, one Cloud, like they are on the DVD cover) and a Seph Play Arts figure that makes me drool each time I turn my head (well, I wish I had shown her the movie a lot earlier XDD ) and a poster of hawt Bya-kun (you people are lucky, I have not a lot of free time, so you are safe from picspam XDD )
Then, yesterday I had a wonderful evening with my friends for my birthday, cine+awesome restaurant+bowling. And today, the 'official' birthday, the big meal (hell, how I love my mother's couscous) with the whole family and the official giving of presents, the day I've been waiting for for weeks XDDD because this is the first time I hadn't the faintest idea of I was going to get!!!!!! They told it would be something important since, well, 20 is important, a turning point in numbers XDDD but hell I never would have guessed... Actually, I was suspecting it would have been the Wii, since I was recently planning on buying it after I succeeded in selling my GC, and I would have been so happy if it was that because, it's not like it's very cheap, isn't it?? But then, when I had the presents in front of me, the biggest one seemed quite a bit bigger than the Wii box... So I open, and guess what??? It was a Playstation 3......................................................... Oh god when I saw that I couldn't stand it anymore and I burst into tears in front of 16 people....... I SO didn't see that coming, because it's SO expensive DAMMIT....... And so I couldn't stop the flow for about 15 minutes..... and I couldn't stop trembling for the next hour (so yeah, no drinking for an hour XD ) oh god just to think of it even now my eyes get all wet again.....
Gosh I felt so ashamed, but I was so happy.... and my grandmother who kept asking me why something like that made me happy!! I don't think my parents told her the price XP

FWEEEEE......... I so don't what to say....... I am so happy I want to cry again.......
Oh god no my best friend filmed the whole thing....... I'm going to kill him!!! I didn't saw him >.< Actually it seemed I made my sister cry too, and my grandmothers, because they never saw me cry like that XO

Damn, I have this fucking thing on 'translation' to give before the end of the week and I haven't even started, and now I don't even want to do it because I have so much more useful things to do XOOOO

Anyway, now is the time to thanking before I go to bed (yep, I must not go to late, for I don't want to spend my morning sleeping tomorrow, if you see what I mean >w< )

♥ THANKS A LOT to akuni for her two wonderful presents: the official, and the not!!
♥ THANKS A LOT to kiyala for her amazing fic
♥ THANKS A LOT to hidden_gems for her squee'able drawing
♥ THANKS A LOT to my parents for being such wonderful parents
♥ THANKS A LOT to nee-san for being such a wonderful nee-san (when she wants too XDD)
♥ THANKS A LOT to my awesome two best friends, without whom Real Life would be so boring and unworthy
♥ THANKS A LOT to you all my awesome my online friends, without whom Real Life would be so boring and Internet would be so empty.
♥ THANKS A LOT to everyone who wished a Happy Birthday to me, because it came true.

I LOVE YOU ALL, DEFINITELY, A WHOLE LOT!!!!! ♥♥♥♥

Not yay?

2007-12-04T00:26:21Z

Okay, this is going to be a very short post, just to prove that I'm still alive ~~unfortunately~~!!
Today is nearly one month again of deserting lj... Fuck... Strikes is good but it made me so lazy... All I did was a small bit of reading, a small bit of writing, and whole lot of playing... Damn you video games... Damn you Link... You're hot... XD Oh yeah I must blame myself too for finally giving myself a b-day present early, the Sims 2! I've wanted for such a long time, and I finally found it half price!!! And it's so awesome!!! But I shouldn't have created the Ishida family, and the Kurosaki one, because I can't quit this game!!!!! Uryuu and Ichigo got married last week!!!!!!!!! Uryuu Kurosaki!!!!!!!!! I so laugh when I see that!!! But they're still living with Ryuuken XDDD haha!!!! (Ryuuken is so hot!! The hottest of all, actually, because I didn't manage to do Uryuu as hot as the real =( ) Yeah that's because they're saving to buy a house of their own, and since only Uryuu works it takes time!! And Ryuuken is so frustrated because he wants to marry Isshin, but if he does there wouldn't be enough room in the house for that much people!!!! And Ichigo wants to adopt XDDD Uryuu only sometimes XDDD (but I don't know if I'll do it... I don't know who I should make them adopt... or if should invent one, and then the problem is the name...) Ryuuken mostly only thinks about money, his career, and Isshin (so like the real one, eh?? XD ) I realise now that I should have made caps from the game from the beginning, I'm very sad I forgot, but at least that means you're safe from the picspam XDD Oh I remember the beginning, it was sooooo awesome, I created the Ishidas first, played a bit, then created the Kurosakis (only Isshin and Ichigo, though) and guess who's the first schoolmate Ichigo brought home????? YES!!!! Uryuu!!!! It's canon, I say!!!!!! Destiny!!!!! Oh and, Uryuu is a doctor, but do you know about Ryuuken?? He's a soldier XDDDD hahahahaha!!! At first he was about to be a doctor but got fired because he drove his ambulance on the pavement and nearly killed pedestrians XDDD But now he's even sexier in his army uniform XDD
Ahem... I'm getting a bit carried out, here...

Anyway!! Today was full of a lot squeeing, if it wasn't for the reopening of Uni... First, I ~~hopefully~~ nearly finished dndchic's b-day fic (hell... so late...), then I passed my Black Arrow this evening (which resulted in a whole lot of squeeing even after because nee-san offered me a hot poster of Byakuya for it XDDDD) Oh, did I ever said that I was doing archery?? I don't think so... My dad found me club next to where we live, he's so cool!!!!! And I started at the end of September, and it's soooooo cool!!!! I already passed the first Arrow, the White one, about one month ago; you know, it's like Belts; except that it's Arrows XDD not real one unfortunately, all you get is a badge shaped like an arrow the colour of the arrow you passed!!! My schoolbag now has two on it, it's awesome!!!!!!!! I'm so sad that no one at uni will understand what they mean... *shrugs* Ignorant fools... Anyway, so yeah, today we finished practising shooting at a distance of 15 meters and I so thought I was going to fuck it all up because the way we had to shoot is quite weird and I never seemed to manage to shoot a lot in the yellow... But I got, and I got the best score!!!!! 154/180!!!! you have to have at least 140 to pass. Only three of us beginners on eight passed it!!!!
Anyway!! The last squee of the day is akuni's Covenant!!!!! (too lazy to link T___T sorry) It's so good to have the sequel!!!!! And around my b-day time again XDDDD YAYYYY!!!! Thanks to her I'm half back on lj to check updates => thus checking my flist quickly at the same time!!! Maybe it'll make me come out of my hole!!!

Oh... That was supposed to be a short post... Hahaha I so got carried out XDD Sorry!!!

Bweee... Sleep now!!!!
Love ya all!!

YAAAY!!!!!

2007-11-08T11:18:12Z

Today I woke a little pissed at somebody who rang at my door, the little SOB >.< I didn't have class today due to the strikes so I wanted to sleep and he woke me up at 11:10 am dammit!!!!!!!!!!! Well I never opened XDDD
So it was about to become a shitty day where I'd be in a very bad mood (because that's what I'm like when I'm woken up unexpectedly), but then I just went on MSN and my best friend told me the best thing ever to say to me in a morning : THE UNI IS CLOSED DUE TO THE STRIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love when our shitty government wants to pass shitty laws for universities, because then the majority of the students rebel!!! And this time they did well : they thrown us out of our classroom in the middle (it was last week) of a course on Romeo & Juliet (damnit, it was pervert but interesting, why couldn't they have thrown us out of a linguitic or grammar class T__T) and they took every table and chair from every room out and they bloked each entry to buildings with mounts of chairs and tables... It was seriously amazing how they did it!!! Everyone was there taking pictures!!!!! LOL!!!!!
UNI IS CLOSED DAMNIT THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll be able to finally work in catching up the fics, and writing, YAY!!!!!!

~~Sorry guys I have to switch to French~~

hidden_gems, est-ce que je peux te demander quelque chose de très sérieux (pour une fois XD) ? Tu es bien traductrice ? C'est en rapport avec la Fac, on a un nouveau programme ~~de merde~~ cette année, le PPP (Projet Professionel Personnalisé ou une connerie dans le genre), et ils nous demandent de faire des recherches sur une profession, liée ou non à notre projet personnel (et ça c'est le plus débile !). Enfin bref, donc moi j'avais choisi la Traduction, et maintenant ils nous demandent d'interviewer une personne exerçant la profession. Et je voulais savoir si tu voulais bien te faire inteviewer, par internet bien sûr lol je pense pas que ce truc vaillent la peine d'acheter un billet d'avion XD Donc voilà, si tu veux bien, soit je t'envoie les questions par mail ou alors par MSN si tu l'as. Mais tu as le droit de pas vouloir bien sûr ^_~

“Jyuu-chan~~!”

Jyuushirou was sitting against a tree, his eyes closed, enjoying the warm weather and the quiet surroundings of the park next to the Academy, when his classmate and friend literally pounced on him and snuggled next to him, strong arms circling the slim waist.

“How are you today?”

Jyuushirou looked down at the cheerful man with a small smile. “I’m fine, Kyouraku, thank you. I’m not going to die anytime soon, you know.”

A pout crept up Shunsui’s lips. “Why do you still call me by name?” he whined childishly.

“I don’t know. It comes more easily,” Jyuushirou answered with a shrug that dislodged Shunsui’s head from his shoulder. “Oops, sorry,” he chuckled.

In answer, Shunsui cupped a hand to Jyuushirou’s cheek and looked him in the eye, leaning forward until their noses were inches apart. “I won’t accept your apology unless you call me ‘Shunsui’.”

“Hey there, lovebirds!” came the voice that spared Jyuushirou from answering.

Both young men turned to see a familiar grinning face appearing from behind the tree.

“Ah, Urahara-taichou…!” Jyuushirou stuttered as he hastily got up. “How are you today, sir?” he asked, bowing.

“Ukitake-kun! How many times do I have to tell you not to be so formal with me?” The Twelfth Division Captain padded Jyuushirou’s shoulder friendly and chuckled softly at Shunsui’s ‘that’s the story of my life’ remark. “But I’m fine, thank you. And I can see that you are, too,” he winked, looking from Jyuushirou to Shunsui, who was still sitting lazily against the tree and grinning back. “Anyway, shouldn’t you two be preparing to go out for the training in the real world?”

“Ah! Yes, sorry taichou!” Jyuushirou replied hastily before bowing again and rushing away.

Shunsui got up and nodded to Urahara with a quick “taichou” before running after the other man. “Jyuu-chan! Wait for me!”

“Wait, Jyuushirou!” he exclaimed in a more serious tone as he caught up with him and grabbed his arm to stop him. “I thought you said you wouldn’t go to the training.”

Jyuushirou looked guiltily away from the seriously concerned glare and snatched his arm out of the man’s grip. “Well, I decided to go anyway. If I don’t go training I wouldn’t be able to become a Shinigami.”

“But that’s not the point!” Shunsui grabbed Jyuushirou’s shoulder and shook them slightly. “What if something happens? What if you don’t feel well right in the middle of a fight?”

“Oh, come on! It’s not as if I’d be alone down there, we’re in teams, remember? And moreover, I must fight that illness. I won’t let it take over my life.” He punctuated his statement with a determined stare.

“But Jyuu-chan…”

“Kyouraku,” Jyuushirou cut in and gently took the other’s face in his hands. Upon seeing the still concerned but slightly disappointed gaze, he sighed and corrected, “Shunsui. I appreciate your concern, but I’ll be fine, okay?” He leaned forward to press his lips against Shunsui’s in a soft kiss but pulled away before the other man could take any advantage of it. “And anyway, I know you’ll be watching over me.”

“Of course I’ll be!” Shunsui exclaimed. Before he could try to pull Jyuushirou into a tight embrace, the white-haired man had skilfully wiggled his way out of Shunsui’s hands and was now running away to his quarters.

Shunsui let out a resigned breath and smiled as he made his way to his own room. All he had to wish for now was to be in the same team as his lover or to be assigned somewhere close to Jyuushirou’s team.

***

“Team 1, you’ll cover the East. Team 2, cover the North. Team 3, try to manage between South and West,” the sempai announced. “Team 4, you’ll come with me, we’ll patrol between the teams and provide with any help needed. Any question?”

Shunsui couldn’t help the frustrated growl that passed his lips. Jyuushirou had been assigned to Team 2, and he was in Team 4. Team 2 seemed to have quite efficient people, so his Team will probably have to help Team 1 and 3. And so he wouldn’t have very much to do. But at least, if something went wrong with Team 2, Hanase-sempai will be the first informed, and thus Shunsui will know too.

“Okay, then. Scatter!”

At the order, everyone flash-stepped to their assigned locations, leaving only the dozen students from Team 4 with their sempai.

Soon after, they began sensing some Hollows approaching, drawn by the unusual amount of high spiritual pressure; indeed, during these trainings, they all had to unleash at most one fourth of their spiritual pressure, so that everyone combined would inevitably attract some Hollows. There was no going out and let Fate decide if they would meet hungry monsters or not; everything was planned in Shinigami training.

Far away, shouts and sounds of battle were beginning to be heard, quickly followed by reports to Hanase-sempai.

“Team 3… two Hollows… South… weak ones…” Shunsui managed to hear between the cracklings. His ears perked up when he heard the report from Team 2, but nothing remotely important seemed to happen; each team had encountered at least two or three Hollows at once, but nothing major. Still, the bad omen he had sensed this morning when Jyuushirou had told him he would come was still making itself known at the pit of his stomach. And he wasn’t at all eager to discover if the feeling will come true this time again.

“Team 3… more Hollows… bigger…”

“Do you need help?” the sempai asked through the transmitter.

If a response had been given, no one heard it, for an ear-splitting cry echoed in the air. Everyone’s head turned up to see a giant cockroach-like monster flying towards their group. Dozen zanpakutou were at once unsheathed, and the masked bug stopped in mid-air, hovering above the armed souls.

Another familiar cry escaped from the Hollow’s mouth and the monster began to beat his wings frenetically, thus creating a powerful draught.

“Up there, everyone,” Hanase-sempai ordered. But as everyone shot up in the air, the beast wings followed their movement. As they started struggling against the air, more instructions were shouted. “Flash-step behind him; once there, Namikawa-kun, cut his left wing, Kyouraku-kun, cut the right. Go!”

Shunsui shunpo’ed with his team behind the Hollow and launched himself right away to the right side of the monster, zanpakutou raised. Both Shinigami lowered their swords at the same time, every eyes on them, but instead of cutting right through the root of the wings, the metal was cut short by the surface with a loud ‘clunk’. Shunsui’s eyes widened, but he didn’t waste another second there and flash-stepped back to his team, closely followed by Namikawa.

A piercing laugh broke in the air. The wings never stopping their deathly beating, the monster started turning around, bony mouth wide open in psychotic amusement.

Before Hanase-sempai could give more orders, a soft whooshing sound held everyone’s attention. Seconds after, the beast’s maniacal laugh was cut short and its eyes widened as dark blood started tainting its underside. In the blink of an eye, the monster evaporated in spiritual particles.

Once the few seconds of surprise were passed, fists flew in the air, joined by loud cheers and whoops.

“Enough! Who did that?”

Silence followed the angry cry from their elder schoolmate. Every eye searched the group until resting onto a blond man whose sword was silently re-forming itself.

The sempai narrowed her eyes warningly. “Kano-kun, care to explain?”

“Well, I thought it was a good idea to reach for him from his underside, since it was the part that didn’t seem to be covered, you know.”

“Oh really? Well, it was not a good idea at all, little guy. Did you never learn that ‘one must not release one’s zanpakutou unless fully necessary’? Spiritual energy is not to be wasted against that kind of Hollows. You don’t know what might come after.”

Kano-kun quickly looked away and sheathed his sword, fidgeting. “Yes, sorry sempai.”

“Aw, come on, Hana-chan! You’re hard with him, he didn’t mean anything bad; he beat it after all.”

“Kyouraku-kun, for the hundredth time, stop calling me that. And second, you’re here to learn, not to parade, so I don’t want to hear any more complaints, or next time you’ll all go in training with the Twelfth Division, is that clear?”

Once more, her speech was followed by a heavy silence. Who would want to spend the training hours studying a dead corpse, after all?

“Good. Now that that’s clear —”

“…Team 2…two huge…need more…”

Kyouraku looked expectantly at his sempai, eager to go fighting with his lover. When Hanase was about to answer, another call filtered through the cracklings.

“Team 1… nothing to do, we can… help…2…”

“Okay, Team 1, send five people to Team 2, I’ll send some too. Team 3, do you need any help?”

“Team 3. Some help is…yeah… thanks.”

“Right,” the sempai addressed her students once more. “We’ll split into three groups. Kano-kun, Sorata-kun, Tsuzuka-chan, go and help Team 2. Kyouraku-kun, Wataru-kun, Namikawa-kun, you go with Team 3. The rest, stay here in case some more Hollows appear. I’ll go help Team 2 for a moment and I’ll be right back. Let’s go.”

Everyone flash-stepped at once to their assigned destination, and Kyouraku let out a very soft grunt. Did Hanase-sempai have something against him today? He really didn’t like the idea of Jyuushirou facing a big monster with a coughing fit threatening to weaken him anytime. He was with loads of other classmates of course, but still… the bad feeling kept persisting.

Shunsui was now facing two white-masked beasts. The team members were doing quite well already, but they sure could do with some help. He and his team-mates rushed to their sides waiting to be filled in with the current situation.

Kyouraku was evaluating the half-horse half-lizard Hollow’s weaknesses when his spiritual energy started buzzing softly in his ears. He knew what that meant, having witnessed this phenomenon several times already. But it didn’t stop there.

Shunsui used to like to compare reiatsu to the surface of an expanse of water — and more particularly Jyuushirou’s. He now felt like a heavy stone had been dropped into the pond, rippling the usually smooth surface with dangerous waves; and all this in the matter of a millisecond.

His first impulse was to rush to Team 2 and take care of his lover, but he got orders and he knew better than to disobey them. So he rushed, unaware of the warning cries of his team mates, sword raised.

One leg fell and disappeared; an enormous heavy tail was rushing towards him; he sliced; he flash-stepped; his arm was scratched but no pain followed; jaws opened; a piercing cry reached his eardrums; he echoed it, jumped, and lowered his zanpakutou in the middle of white mask. And then he was standing in the empty air, alone.

He jumped back down onto the solid earth, oblivious to the acclamations of his friends, and suddenly pain assailed him. He looked down at his arm and was surprised to see that his Academy outfit was badly torn, leaving in the open a deep gashing wound. His team-mates seemed to have followed his gaze, since gasps could soon been heard.

“It’s okay,” he smiled, stepping forward to reassure them. But he found it impossible. His legs wouldn’t budge, and the harder he tried the more pain he received. He suddenly fell forward, only having the time to raise his healthy arm to break the fall and protect his face.

Everyone rushed to his side at once even though Shunsui kept complaining.

“No,” he said. “Go… Jyuushirou…”

He could see puzzled looks being exchanged, but he couldn’t find it in him to open his mouth again. His eyes fell closed against his will and everything vanished. No more sounds, no more cries, no more pain; slight warmth enveloped him some minutes after and he wanted to sigh.

Not so far away, he could feel the spiritual energy he was longing for. The lake before him was peaceful, its sight alone was soothing, and he wanted to lay next to it forever, bathe in its quietness, drown into its never-ending tranquillity.

But why was it becoming smaller and smaller? Why now when he needed it more than anything? Why was this welcoming feeling rejecting him?

No more tranquillity. A rock had fallen inside the pond. Ripples marked its surface. A pond? No, not a pond anymore now. A puddle. He must protect it from becoming smaller again. It was already the size of his hand.

Shunsui tried to extend his arm. The puddle became droplets. He opened his hands and carefully collected the precious liquid. He closed his fingers protectively around it and held his hands next to his heart, next to the core of his soul, and closed his eyes. He must give it all his strength, his entire being knew he had to protect this little sample of energy, because it had become a part of him too some time ago.

“Kyouraku-kun, please stop this, you must keep your energy to yourself for now, you’re still weak.”

Shunsui slowly opened his eyes to the young lady’s soothing voice he knew well. His surroundings surprised him for a minute. He looked down and realized he was lying down on a bed, and his arms were limp beside his body. He frowned slightly and looked left to the source of the voice.

His frown disappeared and he smiled feebly as realization dawned on him. “Unohana-chan,” he greeted in a raucous voice.

The skilled student in healing practice amusedly shook her head. “How do you feel?”

“Numb. What happened?”

“The Hollow transferred some sort of poison inside your wounds that paralyzed your body. We took care of it, but it is normal if you still find it slightly difficult to move at the beginning. Luckily, there will not be any after effects.”

“How long have I been here?”

“You were brought here about four hours ago, and you have been unconscious during all this time. However, one hour ago, you started sending some spiritual energy towards Ukitake-kun. I have been trying for half an hour to wake you up, because it is not recommended for someone in such a weak state as yours to be use your energy in anything other than healing yourself.”

Shunsui suddenly remembered everything. He tried to push himself up in a sitting position but Unohana’s gentle hand on his shoulder held him down.

“Where is he?” Shunsui asked.

Unohana’s soothing smile never faltered as she started answering. “He is on the other side of the room.” She paused for an instant as Shunsui’s head turned as quickly as his muscles could bear. The hand on his shoulder tightened its hold, as if sensing Shunsui’s craving to get out of this bed and stand next to his lover. “We put you close to each other,” she continued, “for when you arrived I sensed that your spirit was constantly reaching for his, as feeble as it were, and we thought that his being able to sense you beside him would help him.”

Shunsui could sense her all-knowing stare piercing the back of his head but he couldn’t bring himself to tear his eyes away from the man on the other corner of the room, as if afraid that Jyuushirou might disintegrate if he brought his attention to something else.

Eventually, he sighed. “How is he?”

“We don’t exactly know. As you can sense, he is very weak, and that is probably due to his illness. From what I was told, he had been hit in the stomach by the tail of a Hollow, and he broke into a coughing fit. He tried to get one of his classmate to give him his pills, but apparently, he started coughing blood soon after. Their other team-mates tried to keep the Hollows away from them, but the two received a loose blow and were sent against a wall. Sakaguchi-kun was okay, but when he checked on Ukitake-kun, he found him unconscious.”

Shunsui closed his eyes and rested his head back on the pillow. If he had been more insistent with Jyuushirou, nothing of that would have happened, and Jyuushirou would probably not be waiting between life and death.

Unohana’s voice stopped his thoughts. “We tried everything we could. Now, all we have to do is to wait for him to fight his way back to consciousness and to help him in any way we can.”

After a moment of silence, she brought Shunsui’s bed next to Jyuushirou’s and took her leave after Shunsui had thanked her for everything.

Not without difficulty, Shunsui managed to move his arm and took Jyuushirou’s hand. He closed his eyes again and enveloped his lover with his own reiatsu, trying to help the man with anything he could.

Sleep quickly claimed him, and he fell asleep within minutes, the image of tiny droplets of water merging together forming in the back of his mind.

***

Shunsui woke up, surprised that it was already the middle of the night, his fingers tightly entwined with Jyuushirou’s, his energy protectively surrounding the other’s body, and he could at once tell that there still wasn’t any response.

He was at least feeling better. He could now move into a sitting position without difficulties. He turned towards his unconscious lover and squeezed the cold hand in his.

“Jyuu-chan, can you hear me?”

Stupid question.

And yet, one small part of his mind was seriously expecting an answer.

He sighed and he brought his free hand up to move some of the soft white hair out of Jyuushirou’s face. “I know you hear me, Jyuushirou,” he whispered, as if somewhat afraid to break the man’s peace. “If you do, please wake up soon. You don’t know how it’s like to see you like that, as if you were…”

Unable to finish his sentence, Shunsui closed his eyes and focused on the slow but still present breathing he could hear. When he opened his eyes again, he quickly moved away from Jyuushirou. He had received a powerful shock of spiritual energy, and now Jyuushirou’s reiatsu was soaring. Shunsui watched with wide eyes as Jyuushirou gasped and arched his back. He tried to counter with his own reiatsu to keep the other man’s from getting to far out of control, but three Fourth Division Shinigami burst into the room.

They put his bed on the opposite corner and surrounded Jyuushirou, starting at once their treatments. Shunsui frowned. From the very little he could see, his lover had gone paler, even with his reiatsu now in check.

“Is he okay?” he asked when he was sure he wouldn’t make any of the healers lose their concentration.

The tallest of the group turned towards him. “Yes. All this was probably because he found the way to his energy again, we can’t really know. But in any case, it might prove that he is fighting his way back into consciousness.”

Sensing there was more from the way the Shinigami was frowning and looking away, Shunsui added, “But?”

The man looked at him for a moment, and eventually continued, “It might also be because he lost the last little bit of control he had over his spiritual energy. And we all know what that means.”

Shunsui eyes widened impossibly and he gripped the white sheets he was sitting on.

The healer walked closer from him and put a hand on Shunsui’s shaking shoulder. “I don’t think it is that though. We already saw cases like that, and I’m pretty sure this is not one. He is fighting, don’t worry. Even if it takes time, he’ll wake up.”

***

He couldn’t sleep anymore. As soon as he closed his eyes, he pictured Jyuushirou’s body imploding from the uncontrolled spiritual pressure, so after two tries he made sure to keep his eyes wide open. And he hadn’t looked away from Jyuushirou since the healers were gone. He was waiting. Waiting for anything, a sign, a little twitch; anything. But there was nothing. Only the slight rise and fall of Jyuushirou’s stomach confirmed the fact that he was still alive.

Shunsui had moved his bed back next to Jyuushirou’s when the Shinigami healers had walked out of the room, and he was sitting holding the other man’s hand in his lap, his thumbs tracing small circles over the cold but still soft skin.

“Jyuushirou…” he whispered for the umpteenth time.

Unable to resist, he brought the pale hand to his lips and kissed the palm, the wrist, the palm again; he resisted the urge to shut his eyes tightly and fought again the flow of tears that threatened to burst out. He suppressed a profound sigh and rested his cheek against the inside of the hand.

When the fingers tightened slightly, nails almost digging into his skin, he started closing his eyes in bliss from the familiarity of the touch; only to open them widely not a second after.

He took the hand away from his face and clasped it firmly as he got to his knees to have a better look at the other man.

“Jyuushirou?” he exclaimed with a small smile, his eyes gleaming in hope.

His free hand went to cup his lover’s cheek, only barely touching the skin. He concentrated on Jyuushirou’s reiatsu, but he couldn’t find anything, so tightly was it guarded by the 4th Division Shinigami protection technique.

“Jyuushirou, you did it, didn’t you? You’re awake, I’m sure you are. I didn’t imagine it.”

No reaction. Jyuushirou was still only breathing, nothing else was moving, the hand in his was still lifeless; nothing.

“Did I?” he added in a whisper, unsure now about what he had really felt.

“Jyuu—” he started with a frown, but his jaw fell in the middle of the name as his hand was being crushed in a deadly hold. He looked down at the powerful hand in disbelief. Now he couldn’t be imagining that — the pain, the joy, the hope, the warmth; all these sensations were too real to be a hallucination.

He clasped Jyuushirou’s hand with both of his and brought it to his heart, his eyes darting back to the other’s face. Shunsui could now see him struggling, eyes rolling under tightly closed lids, eyebrows twitching. Struggling against what, Shunsui didn’t know, but that didn’t stop him from sending his warmth to his lover, adding his spiritual energy to those already enveloping the white-haired man.

Shunsui was starting to grin. His vision was blurring; he knew it was because his tears had finally found a breach in his defences but he couldn’t bring himself to care. If Jyuushirou really was waking up, nothing was important compared to that.

Brown eyes eventually opened, slow and unfocused. They lazily searched the room, passing Shunsui without seeming to see him.

“Jyuushirou.”

When the whisper broke the silence, Jyuushirou’s eyes snapped back to the utterer. They blinked at him for what seemed like hours for Shunsui, until they finally mirrored the tentative smile that was forming on Jyuushirou’s lips.

“Shunsui,” came the feeble whisper.

Shunsui laughed in relief. “Welcome back, Jyuu-chan!”

Jyuushirou now smiled in earnest. Very slowly, he brought his free hand to Shunsui’s right cheek and collected the fallen tears with his thumb. Shunsui closed his eyes at the contact and leaned his head in Jyuushirou’s hand, closing his eyes. He brought his left hand on top of Jyuushirou’s and they stayed like this for a moment, not needing anything but the feeling of the other’s presence.

“Thank you.”

Shunsui opened his eyes and stared, frowning. “What are you talking about? It’s I who should thank you for waking up. I did nothing.”

Jyuushirou smiled playfully. “Of course I woke up. I’m the one who is always listening in the Survival courses.” He joined Shunsui’s laugh with a weak of his own. “Though this time,” he went on, sobering up a little, “hadn’t you been here, I don’t know if I would have made it. You have been here all the time, haven’t you?”

“Of course I have!”

“I know. I felt you. As usual, you were there exactly when I needed you the most.” The still slightly hoarse voice paused and the smile on Jyuushirou’s face faltered. “I had a…dream. In fact, I didn’t know it was a dream at the time, everything seemed so real. I think it might have been something caused by the Hollow…although I don’t know how.”

“Do you remember it?” Shunsui asked, carefully helping Jyuushirou in a sitting position.

Jyuushirou’s face hardened.

“Ah, Ukitake-kun, you’re awake!”

Startled, the two young Shinigami-in-training turned their eyes to the door.

Shunsui at once straightened on his bed and bowed his head. “Koyama-taichou.”

Jyuushirou echoed the greeting with a small smile, bowing his head too.

“Hello, Kyouraku-kun. How do you feel?”

“Much better, thank you very much.” His head still bowed in respect, Shunsui missed the understanding smile from the Fourth Division Captain.

“Good. And you?” the Captain continued, turning to Jyuushirou.

“Fine, I guess…though a little tired.”

“Yes, that’s normal. I’m glad you’re finally awake. I don’t know what would have happened if you had remained unconscious longer.”

“Thank you for everything, then, Koyama-taichou.” Jyuushirou punctuated his thanks by a deep nod.

“Oh, it’s not me you should thank, but Unohana-san. She did most of the work. She is a very talented woman; I wouldn’t be surprised if she was to be the next Captain for the Fourth Division!”

“I’ll make sure to thank her.”

“Good! Now get some rest, you need it. Someone will probably come by later to check on you. Oh and, Kyouraku-kun, you can stay too, even though Ukitake-kun is now awake. Stay for as long as you wish, you might need some rest too.”

With a warming smile and an acknowledging nod, the Captain left the room.

“I like him. He’s very kind.”

Shunsui looked at Jyuushirou, who was still looking at the closed door. “Yeah, he is. Do you think that Unohana-chan is really going to surpass him?”

“I think it might be possible, if he says so. She is very kind too.”

“Yes, she is.” Shunsui followed Jyuushirou’s vacant gaze and stared thoughtfully at the door. “She kind of gives me the creeps sometimes, though…”

Jyuushirou let out a chuckle and looked at Shunsui. “…as if reading your mind,” he added.

“Yes, exactly. She’s very kind and very persuasive at the same time. It’s creepy.”

A long comfortable silence followed Jyuushirou’s amused agreement.

“Shunsui, do you think we are going to be Captains too, one day?”

Shunsui looked at his lover with a pensive frown. “I don’t think I want to,” he finally answered.

“Oh, why?”

“Because,” Shunsui began, leaning forward until his forehead rested against Jyuushirou’s, “if we are, I would have to call you ‘Ukitake’!” He faked a childish pout.

Jyuushirou let out a soft laugh. “Idiot,” he whispered. When he smiled, Shunsui cocked his head and closed the distance between their lips.

As their lips touched, Shunsui repressed a contented sigh, thinking he had been that close from losing all this — the sweetness of Jyuushirou’s lips, the softness of Jyuushirou’s cheeks under his fingers, the warmth emanating from Jyuushirou’s body and energy, the fondness he had learned to decrypt in Jyuushirou’s eyes, the welcoming feeling of Jyuushirou’s arms around his waist…

When they pulled away from each other, Shunsui pulled Jyuushirou in a tight embrace, startling the man a little. As Jyuushirou started to relax in his arms, returning the tight hold, Shunsui shut his eyes to fight the once again threatening flow of tears.

“I love you,” he whispered, stroking the short white hair.

“Mmh. Love you too.”

They revelled in the feeling of each other’s arms for some minutes, until Jyuushirou’s arms loosened their hold on Shunsui. Shunsui was about to panic when he heard the steady breathing against his ear. Cursing himself for his weakness, he carefully lowered the sleeping man on the bed.

“Rest now, gorgeous,” he whispered against Jyuushirou’s lips before placing a soft kiss on them.

***

“Are you feeling better now?”

“Of course I am, silly; otherwise they wouldn’t have let me out.”

One week had passed since Jyuushirou’s awakening, and both men were now sitting on their favourite place: the park next to the Shinigami Academy, under their favourite tree, an old and lofty weeping willow.

“Jyuushirou?” Shunsui asked the man snuggled in his arms. “What was that ‘dream’ you talked to me about when you woke up?”

After the minutes of silence that followed, Shunsui started to believe that Jyuushirou had fallen asleep.

“I don’t really know when it began.” When the soft answer eventually came, he had to think for a second to remember what his question had been about. He silently encouraged his lover to go on. “I remember that we were out for training, and my guess is that I fell unconscious after my coughing fit, but it is not very clear, because there are no black moments.”

Mechanically, Shunsui started stroking his hair.

“After my coughing fit, what I remember is that the Hollow starting laughing, and it hit me and sent me flying against a wall. And then you came; I don’t know how but when I looked up you were there, standing between me and the Hollow. And you fought him. I tried to get up and help you but I couldn’t, as if I were paralysed. All I could do was watching you getting hurt. It was awful. Everything went so fast, and the next thing I saw was you lying in front of me…blood everywhere…” Shunsui held him tighter when the word ‘dead’ came as a weak whisper.

“And that’s when I managed to get up, the Hollow’s maniacal laugh echoing in my head. I was so desperate, and yet I couldn’t believe you had been beaten. All I could think of was revenge. And I fought. I really didn’t have the advantage, but at least I didn’t really got badly hurt. And then you were there. You were still lying dead on the floor, but you were also next me, ghost-like. Your reiatsu was all around, you were whispering words I didn’t understand in my ear, and it was so encouraging, I felt like nothing could happen to me. And still, at one point, I was definitely going to lose. But something miraculous made the deathly blow heal.”

“Ah, that’s must be the healer’s work,” Shunsui remembered.

Jyuushirou smiled. “I’ll have to go and thank them some more later, then. Because after that, I was protected. The Hollow didn’t seem able to reach me, but I could still hit it. And finally I won. I was so exhausted that I fainted right there; and when I woke up I was on a bed in the Fourth Division, and you were there. You know the rest.”

“It’s really strange. Perhaps you should report what the Hollow did. Do you think there are Hollows with special powers?”

“I hope not. I hope it was only a nightmare.”

“Well, in each case, that’s all it was,” Shunsui reassured him.

“Yeah.”

When Jyuushirou looked up, Shunsui lent down and captured the thin lips in a deep kiss, confirming his words. All this was real, and they were both alive and well, and they intended for it to last the longest possible.

The men pulled away to look in front of them to what they considered as the future. The weeping willow was on the border of a very peaceful lake.

***OWARI?***

The lake in the park next to the Shinigami Academy was famous for its quietness. Until then, nothing had managed to disturb it for centuries, not even the wind, not even the rain. Some people said it was protected by some kind of God, others that it reflected the state of the entire Soul Society.

And thus, no one had ever dared to go inside it. No explorations had been done. No one knew that it could contain twice the population of the Soul Society. No one knew that every animal living inside this lake never approached the rocks in the centre. No one was able to detect that a small piece on the side of this rock had started to detach itself. No one would realise that this piece, even as small as it were, was going to fall in the decades, the centuries to come. No one could have told that when that piece of rock will eventually touch the ground, it will create a slight disturbance. No one could have predicted that this slight disturbance on a very small part of the ground will slowly reverberate upwards, and when it will finally reach the surface, it will affect its entirety.

***OWARI***

Notes : How was it?? Nope, no sequel is intended! If I managed well, you all know what the little 'epilogue' means XDD
Anyway, thank you so much for waiting so much, Charlie!! ♥

OH. MY. GOD...
Thanks to the lovely dndchic, I just realised it's been a month since my last post, and believe me I am very very VERY ashamed of that fact... On the one hand, I am glad I managed to refrain myself from making useless post containing rants about my life, and on the other hand I want to fucking shoot myself, since no one is willing to do so, because this means I've kept the birthday girls waiting for another month. And I don't like that at all. Even though I must say that I've been writing this month, yeah! And that was fucking good to write again after this lethargic summer. As soon as I was back at my flat, I started my computer there and, I don't know it was really weird, at once I had all these ideas running inside my head, drowning my poor Daishe-chan... So I wrote... I am currently writing three stories at once; your present, hidden_gems is nearly finished, and I'm beginning to like it because I managed to do what I wanted! Let's see how it'll all turn out! And please, please, even if you'll say it's okay, forgive me for all this waiting. I definitely don't like doing that, but I keep doing it... I hate real life getting in the way.
Then I have your present, ash. The outline is done, I've had more ideas recently. I'm thinking about it at the same time as Charlie's present because it seems I can't keep myself from having IchiUri ideas when writing another pairing. I have this awful impression that it takes me a lot more time to write other pairings... Ah well, that's probably the meaning of OTP♥!
Anyway, that means I'll ~~hopefully~~ be back in full force!!!
In the meantime, I'm also trying to catch up with everything! I must make an apology to everyone because I'm reading without commenting. I'm so late that I don't even take the time to congratulate the people I love properly. Please forgive me, everyone.

And now, with this post, I'm going to try to remedy to my 'being late' virus. Everyone here, I want to draw your attention to Christmas! Well yeah, LOL!! That way, I'll hopefully manage to at least give my Christmas presents on time!
Everyone reading this, friend, lurker, whoever you are, I want to try to give presents to everyone I can this year. I won't make it a surprise, I wanted to do some special things to special people, but I'm afraid it'll be fanfic for everyone.
In this post, please EVERYONE (Everyone who wants a fanfic from me that is! If you want something else, though, don't hesitate to say it too, this is the open post for request!) comment here to tell what you want for Christmas! Pairing - prompt - etc. Mainly Yaoi please, and mainly IchiUri. For other pairings, refer to my profile page, or just ask what pairing you would like and I'll tell you if it's possible!
This might be my way to try and make everyone forgive me for my abusive absenteeism!

To end this post, I'll reiterate my asking you to follow the pretty link to pretty little forest! Make it grow, people! Like her, I need you all to make my life complete! Thank you all, I really love you!
The meeting place for every yaoi lover who seeks quiet and peace.

Shiny quiz!

What is your Patronus (from Harry Potter)?

Your patronus is the dragon. This patronus appears in those who are inherently misunderstood by others, and thus feel alienated. Mabey it's just your nature or mabey it's the result of something that happened to you in the past; either way you are decidedly difficult to approach. When you do grow close to someone, however, you can't live without them.
