Woot, I'm sure you guys all saw my update. I painted all afternoon yesterday. I just sat down at my kitchen table, grabbed all my supplies and my music and went to work. My dad saw them was like: "Wow. We have an artist in the family." I'm all: "You just realize this NOW?" He loves to tease me. He still can't believe I can draw so well. Half the time he sees me coloring or doodling, he's like: "Is that for school?" Pfft. No. If my art classes asked me to draw anime-style, I'd be in heaven. I keep getting e-mails from the Massachusetts Institute of Art now. They keep asking if I'll be attending their campus next year. -_- I'm almost done my first year of college. I can't just randomly transfer. Besides, if I go to an art college, it's gonna be for manga or illustration. That's what I'm good at and what I think I could make money from. I like drawing stuff that makes other people happy. And hey, if I can get paid for that, I'll be happy too.

That's why I've got like a mile-wide smile on my face now. I've gotten two requests here from people since I've come back from AB and I'm just so excited and pleased to see that people like my work. Karasu-sama and kankuro love, I hope to have both your requests finished by this weekend. I have to write a 5 paragraph essay thing for my english class (in response to what we can do for our college security in light of the VA Tech massacre). So I want to get the drawings finished and get to work on the damn paper.

I've suddenly become a big Neji/Sasuke fan and I'm pissed I didn't get the cute Neji plushie at Anime Boston. Next year I'll get it. And if they have a Hidan one...YAY!!! Depends if he appears in the anime by then though. I was gonna get an Ichigo (Bleach) plushie, but the one they had had Ichigo touching his crouch. O.o I'm not kidding, he seriously was. I just stared at it and laughed. He looked so angry. I was thinking of scanning my KakashiSasuke doujinshi somewhere and hoping someone could scanlate it for me. I wanna know what's happening. All I have are sexy pictures to go by =P Next year, I'll get more doujinshi...an Itachi/Sasuke one maybe and some more POT ones, hopefully with Tezuka/Atobe as the couple.

I have my final exam for my zoology lab this tuesday! *gasp* I actually have like...2 weeks left of actual school work. Then the week of May 14 (My b-day! I turn 19, woot!) is the week of my final exams in my other classes. My zoology lecture exam is May 21 randomly at like...10:30 or something weird like that. After that, I'm done! I'm so happy I don't have an exam on my b-day either. I get to just sit around at home and be a lazy 19 year old =) Sooooo...I should probably get to work sketching those requests. My fave show (Supernatural) is on tonight at 9 and I don't wanna miss it. It looks like an intense ep, hehe. So bye for now peeps!

Some more stuff to report. I forgot to mention this: I saw my old high school crush at Anime Boston. I don't know if anyone read one of my previous entries, but a mentioned a guy named Fox and how I big a crush on him I had. Well, I saw him (with his new gf) at anime boston like...5 times! I swear Fate was laughing at me! >.< It was like...everyone I went, Fox was somewhere near me. So cruel. I didn't even say hi...oh well. Erm...I found some more video clips! This one's also from the masquerade and it stars the nurses from Silent Hill. It creeped me out soooo much, but it was so good.



winner of the Best Romance AMV! I loved this one:


woot! the Rock Lee vid! We were sooooo happy this won for Best Editing! bridget was estatic ^-^


So um...yeah. I still have to put my pics on the computer. I'm so lazy =P Erica and I were talking about the Artists' Alley yesterday and we were like: "Some of the art in there was really bad. It gave me a boost of ego." lol Seriously, I couldn't believe some of the crap that was being sold there. So we thought maybe me, her, Bridget, and our other friend Sam could get a booth together and sell our stuff at the next Anime Boston. I'm curious if my art is worth buying. I'm working on some paintings now. Oh yeah, and I think I know who I wanna cosplay as next time. I'll have my hair cut to maybe about necklength and I'll dye it silver. I wanna cosplay as Atobe Keigo (Prince of Tennis) and Hidan (Naruto). ^-^ It'd be fun. Oh yeah, and I made an Akatsuki slideshow last night to the song Kernkraft 400 (sports chant) by Zombie Nation. It's okay, I guess. I had limited pictures.

UPDATE: Holy crap. I just painted the rest of those pics from my Naruto "sexy pose series." My hand is killing me. I had already painted Hidan, Suigetsu, and Deidara like a month ago, but I hadn't gotten around to painting the others until tonight. I really like how Karin came out. Since I don't have a definite color scheme for her yet, I just kinda took ideas from other fanart that I've seen. Also, because I had an extra piece of bristol board left, I drew Neji. I adore him ^-^ Also, I'm reading a NejiSasuke fic as I type this, so I was kind of in a Neji-loving mood. =D I'll scan the pics maybe tonight if I can. I'm watching a show at 10 and it's 9:05 right now...so yeah. Scanning takes a looooong time. Sooooo....I guess I'll go now. Byes!

I'M BACK
Holy fuck...I had so much fun at Anime Boston. Well...where to begin? I was the first one at the school on Friday morning (go me =P)Other people gradually starting to arriving and then the bus came, so we all got on and got our seats. I sat with this dude named Courtland. The ride to Boston was kinda blah. Nothing interesting happened. Then we got to the Sheraton Hotel and waited in the lobby for a long time until we got news that only two of our rooms were free at the time. So all the girls put their stuff in one room and the boys put theres in another. We all got changed into our costumes. It was funny. When I walked out with my Itachi mesh shirt my friend Erica's like: "Holy crap, Natalie has boobs." XD Cuz I always where black stuff, so its hard to tell and I'm all: "Um...yeah...I've always had boobs." So then we went over to registration (we were pre-registered, so we didn't have to wait long). Then we were free to check stuff out.

I followed my friends around and got awesome pictures. We went into Artists' Alley. I met one of my fave artists from deviantArt. I bought an Atobe chibi ^-^ And I bought a Sakura bookmark from another person and a cute chibi Aizen pin from another. It was soooo pretty. Then we entered the dealer's room. To quote Hidan here:

"Holy fucking shit."

That place had EVERYTHING!! My friend Bridget brought 300 bucks and spent like 200 of it on Friday O.o I bought an Itachi plushie (that is pantless, btw. I don't know what happened there), a Tamaki plushie, a Sasuke plushie, an Itachi shirt, a Sasuke shirt, a Sasuke keychain, an L necklace, Angel Sanctuary volume 7, an Ouran print, and yaoi porn!!! or, as Bridget says "buttsecks". I got an Atobe x Oshitari x Sengoku yaoi doujinshi and a cute yaoi Sasuke x Kakashi doujin. We went to a yaoi panel Friday night...Bridget won free yaoi for pinning the cock on the bishie. That was awesome. Man...so much happened and its hard to remember it all.

bridget is a big Rock lee fan...not sure if i ever mentioned that here, but every Rock Lee cosplayer she saw she was like: "ROCK LEE I LOVE YOU!!" and then I took a picture. ^-^ bridget also doesn't like Light for doing you know what to L. So every Light cosplayer that walked by got this rant: "LIGHT! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID IN VOLUME 7 AND EPISODE 25!!! I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!" and this one Light cosplayer (she was awesome), she came over with her death note and was all: "Oh? Really? How would you like to die?" Bridget: "Hmm...spontanious combustion!" XD Light cosplayer: "Okay, so your name's Bridget, right? Okay. So, Bridget to die of spontanious combustion at 2 today." haha, and we kept running into her (last night she had an L with her) and Bridg was like: "haha, Light! I haven't died yet!" It was soooo awesome. Like, I can't even describe the awesome.

I also went to the masquerade last night and the amv contest and the rave! Omg! My first rave! lol here are some clips I found already at youtube...awesome.



from the amv contest. you might hear bridget in the beginning going: "C'mon Mark!" lol





I can't even remember most of what happened. I remember because we didn't want to spent money on food, my friends and I went up to our room and ate chocolate and had ramen. At first, we were gonna heat the ramen with a coffee maker.-_- Then we looked out the window and see people on the other side of the Sheraton (otakus as well) dancing and waving at us. Three guys were the first we noticed and then more people started doing it. We were shouting and being crazy. We eventually met up with the guys yesterday in the lobby. We were like: "omg! it's you! the dancers!" We never saw them again though, unfortunately. I got pic of a sexy Sasuke ^-^ and a Hidan (that made my day). Also, my roomate's friend cosplayed as the BEST Deidara. She was part of an Akatsuki skit in the masquerade. I got a pic of her. And I got Ouran High School host Club, as well as Prince of Tennis peeps. The Host Club had an event that my friends and I went to. I got to hug Kyouya! He was soooo hott, lol. I had one person wave at me when I was dressed up as Itachi. =P We stayed up late last night (I got about 3 hours of sleep...maybe less) cuz we were looking at our porno doujinshi XD We're such perverts. bridget was always commenting: "He's puttin' it up the pooper." hahahaha I LOVE my KakaSasu doujin. it's in Japanese, but the pics are soooo cute and they're sexy. I love being an adult ^-^ I don't think I'm allowed to post other people's cosplay here...so I might put them at deviantart or something. I have one pic of my head when I was wearing my cloak. One Itachi cosplayer had the Sharingan contacts. He looked so cool. I saw miniature Sasuke cosplayers....there were these little kids about 8 or 9 and they were dressed up as Sasuke...sooooo cute. I wanted to hug them. Well, I'm downloading shippuden ep 10 right now (weeee) and I want to show my brother some of the video clips. But he wants to watch Saturday's naruto...one of my fave eps, in fact. Sasuke's first flashback, woot! Oh yeah, and Bridget got a pic of a Rock Lee buying porn. Soooo awesome. So...yeah...if other stuff comes back to me, I'll mention it ^-^ For now, bye.

I hate being sick >.< At least I survived school today though. Erica said if I find a Sasuke pic, she can make me a shirt with it for Anime Boston! Yay! So I found this pic of sexy Shippuden Sasuke: http://www.animegalleries.net/img/275687
I was also gonna give her this pic of Gaara, in case she wanted to make a shirt for herself: http://www.animegalleries.net/img/283358

Did I mention I started painting my pics? I've got Suigetsu, Deidara, and Hidan finished already. Hidan's definitely my fave of the bunch so far. ^-^ I'm not just being biased cuz he's like my fave character of all time (sorry Sasuke =P) I started a new PoT fic...this time a Tezuka/OC cuz I wuv Tezzi-kun ^-^ He'd probably give me an evil glare of doom and make me run like 50 laps or something for calling him that. XD Soooo...here's what I got so far...I kinda skipped around.

------
“Huh? Student abroad program?” Oishi Syuichiroh said in confusion. He and Tezuka Kunimitsu were walking to school together and Tezuka had mumbled about someone staying at his house for a student abroad program.

The taller boy remained silent for a moment before replying. “Students from other countries are chosen for a year to study abroad, staying with host families,” he explained.

“I know that, Tezuka. So…your family is going to be a host family?”

“That’s what my mother said. She agreed before I could say anything.” Oishi could tell Tezuka was not pleased. The boy loved his mother dearly and respected her decisions but this was one he didn’t like one bit. He didn’t want a foreigner staying in his home. It meant he would be required to show them around Seigaku and he would have to introduce them to the tennis team. It meant he would, undoubtedly, be forced to make friends with this person.

“Do you know what country the student’s coming from?”

“America.”

“Oh.”

They didn’t say anything more on the matter. The student would be arriving later that night and Tezuka was in a bad mood. The regulars suffered through his moodiness at practice, being made to run extra laps. “Saa…Tezuka seems angry,” Fuji said with his usual smile. “Know anything about that, Oishi?”

The other boy smiled sheepishly. “I’m not sure if Tezuka wants me to mention it…but I guess his family is hosting a student for one of those student abroad programs.”

The tensai’s smile widened. “Sou ka…now it makes sense.”

“Fuji, 15 more laps!” Tezuka called.

***

“Kunimitsu, you could at least try to look excited at greeting our guest,” his mother scolded as they waited at the airport holding a sign written in English: WELCOME TO JAPAN, RILEY KUMA.

He gave her an irritated look. “Kaa-san, I’m not excited.”

“Why not?”

“I’m not thrilled at having to share my room with this person.”

“Mitsu, you’re both boys. I’m sure you’ll have lots in common.”

He seriously doubted that. Before he could say anything more, a girl with dark brown almost black hair and slightly tanned skin walked up to them. She had warm chocolate brown eyes. “Hi,” she said in English.

Mrs. Tezuka glanced at her son before smiling back and saying, “Hello. May I help you?”

“Um…I’m Riley Kuma.”

Kunimitsu stared at the girl with wide eyes. No…no way. A girl was staying with them? His mother’s eyes widened before she smiled. “Oh…forgive me.”

Riley smiled at Tezuka and held out her hand. “Nice to meet you,” she said in Japanese.

“Aa,” he replied. “Tezuka Kunimitsu desu.”

She gave a nod.












***

Tezuka could feel the heat from Riley’s glare. She was not happy with him and he knew it. She’d only been living with his family for a few weeks and already they were having silly fights. If this was what having a sibling was like, Tezuka was glad he was an only child. Apparently, he had thrown something of hers away, thinking it merely trash. It had, in fact, been something very precious that her father had given her before he had gone off to the army.

Of course he felt terrible after she had told him how much the gift had meant to her. But he’d rather bite his tongue than openly admit that. Riley wasn’t like his fangirls at school, which he was eternally grateful for. However, she also wasn’t like a normal girl that he was used to. She spoke her mind, was very smart (she had to be, to be on the abroad program), got along with all the tennis club members, and had a strange obsession with trying to steal his glasses. He wasn’t sure when this odd habit kicked in, but for some reason, she found it part of her job to find out what he looked like without his ever-present spectacles.

Tezuka wouldn’t admit it aloud, but he was wary of her. He had to keep his defenses up and live by his own saying by never letting his guard down. She would try and steal them when he was in the shower. That particular episode, he remembered, had been a lesson for him. It had been the third or fourth day of her arrival, and Riley had apparently been bored. So, to entertain herself, she had tried to take Tezuka’s glasses. As he had been enjoying a nice warm shower, he heard someone open the bathroom door and then close it. Confused, he had turned the water off and grabbed a towel. He had run a hand through his wet brown hair, and had reached for his glasses, only to find them covered in soap suds. He had blinked a few times, trying to comprehend what had happened. Someone had put soap on his glasses…so that he couldn’t wear them…because the soap would irritate his eyes. He had then frowned and proceeded to clean his glasses thoroughly before walking out of the bathroom while putting them. He could never forget the scowl on Riley’s face when he exited the bathroom wearing his soap-free glasses.

She had also attempted ‘Operation Steal Tezuka’s Glasses When He’s Sleeping.’ Usually, he would remove his glasses after he’d close his eyes and then place them on the nightstand by his bed. Riley had taken to sneaking into his room (which was disturbing, really) and had snatched his glasses. Her plan would have worked if he hadn’t let a rare smirk cross his lips and taken out a spare case of his prescribed glasses. Needless to say, Riley had been extremely disappointed the next morning to see him walking down the stairs wearing his glasses.

Tezuka also found it annoying that half the tennis team would pay attention to her instead of him at practices. He’d be giving orders, and the others would be watching Riley do whatever crazy stuff she was doing at the time. One time it was ‘Watch Riley Do the Splits’ day. Apparently, none of the team had ever watched the Seigaku gymnast squad, because they did the exact same things in their routines. When Eiji had appointed Riley the unofficial female captain for the boys’ tennis team (well, he had called her Tezuka’s soul mate), the normally calm and collected captain of Seigaku lost it. He’d ordered 100 laps for everyone, too angry to care that he was being severely unreasonable.

Inui had been scribbling away in his data book since Riley had arrived, mumbling “Ii data…” whenever Tezuka was around. It was irritating. And Fuji…good god, the tensai hadn’t stopped giving Tezuka a knowing smile whenever he was in the vicinity. The brunette was positive his friend would grow up to be a sadistic killer or something.

Now Tezuka found himself amidst Riley’s angry glare of doom. Deciding he better do something before she tried to burn a hole in him, he sighed and said, “If I take you somewhere, will you forgive me?”

She puffed out her cheeks, reminding him of a blowfish. “I dunno,” she replied coolly. “Would you forgive me if I threw away something your mom gave you before she went off to the army?”

Tezuka blinked and raised an eyebrow. “My mother isn’t in the army.”

“That’s not the point, Kunimitsu!”

She was the only one, aside from his family, to call him by his first name. Since she was living with the Tezukas, it would have been silly for her to call him just Tezuka all the time like everyone else. So, she addressed him like she would if he lived in America. No honorifics whatsoever. She said it made things easier. He sighed heavily. “I understand that you’re angry with me—”

“Damn straight.”

“—but I am willing to make it up to you by taking you somewhere. Will you come or not?”

“Ice cream better be involved.”

“Fine. If that’s what you want.”

“And I wanna play tennis.”

He stared at her. “Why?”

“Because it looks like fun. I was never interested in it much back home, but since I’ve come here, you and the tennis club have interested me.”

“I’ll find you a spare racket.”

So Tezuka found himself buying Riley some ice cream (mint-chocolate chip) and showing her to the public street tennis courts. Momoshiro and Echizen had mentioned the place a few times, saying that people from Fudoumine occasionally liked to hang there. He only hoped no one he knew would be there to see him with Riley. They would get the wrong impression.

Riley decided she wanted to play against him. Amused, he took his racket and prepared himself. Riley bounced the ball on the service line and threw it up into the air. He waited. Unfortunately, her hand-eye-coordination needed work as she swung after the ball hit the ground. He remained stone-faced but inside he was fighting a laugh. She was truly a rookie at the game if she couldn’t even hit her own serve.

“That wasn’t a real serve!” she called back, face flushed angrily. “Here I go for real now!” Once again, she missed the ball. Tezuka watched it roll passed her feet. There wasn’t much in the world that could make him crack a smile or even laugh, but Riley was getting there.

“Fault,” he mumbled, hiding his smirk well.

“Yeah, yeah,” she grumbled. She tossed the ball into the air again, this time actually making contact. However, the ball couldn’t make it over the net and landed on her side of the court.

“Double fault.”

“Do you have to do that?”

He shrugged. Just as Riley was about to serve the ball again, a drawling voice from behind him said, “Well, this is interesting, na Kabaji? Ore-sama decides to visit the public courts today and who should ore-sama see? Why, Tezuka of course.”

Please no, Tezuka pleaded in his mind. Anyone but him. Riley had stopped her serve to watch the two newcomers walking towards them. They appeared to know Tezuka. “Hello…Atobe,” the brunette grumbled.

“It is rare for ore-sama to see you at the public courts, Tezuka,” the Hyotei diva proclaimed. “And playing with a girl, no less. Is she your girlfriend?”

“No, she’s—”

But Atobe completely ignored him as he strolled over to Riley and took her hand. He placed a kiss on her palm. “Atobe Keigo, miss. And you?”

“Um…Riley Kuma. Nice to meet you.”

“An American? Aa~? Tezuka, you have an American girlfriend? But what on earth is she doing here?”

“I’m part of a student abroad program. I’m staying with the Tezukas.”

Atobe nodded. “I see. So that’s how your relationship began.”

“There is no relationship between us, Atobe,” Tezuka said coldly.

“But you are playing tennis together.”

“Yeah, but I suck,” Riley stated. “I just wanted to try playing once. Kunimitsu has probably had a good laugh at my expense though.”

“Tezuka? Laughing?” Atobe said with raised eyebrows. “Ore-sama can’t picture that. And surely you can’t be that bad.”

“I can’t even hit the ball when I serve it.”

Atobe face-faulted and slowly turned to face Tezuka. “Tezuka, your girlfriend leaves much to be desired.”

“Excuse me?” Riley snarled.

“She is NOT my girlfriend, Atobe.”

“But don’t worry, ore-sama is willing to teach her how to play tennis.”

“I don’t want any help from you. Kunimitsu, stop him!”

“I can’t.”

Eventually, Riley caved and let Atobe help her. She learned that he was captain of Seigaku’s rival school, Hyotei Gakuen, and on par with Tezuka in terms of skills. That statement alone had her intrigued. Tezuka watched them together and had to grit his teeth. He wasn’t angry, per se. Atobe was infuriating. How could Riley stand be being near him? However, when she went to serve a ball, she actually connected and the ball sailed over the net perfectly. He was impressed, though he tried to hide it.

“Well, Tezuka? Are you happy that ore-sama could help your girlfriend out?”

Riley answered for him. “I’m not his girlfriend, Atobe. But thank you for the lessons, they really helped. Maybe I’ll see you again?”

Both boys (Kabaji hadn’t said anything to begin with) just stared at her. Atobe smiled. “Ore-sama would be honored, Kuma-san.”

“Just call me Riley.”

Tezuka twitched. She was becoming too familiar with Atobe. He didn’t like it. It was bad enough she got along well with the Seigaku tennis club members, but now she was getting along with his rival? He packed his racket away and counted to ten in his head before walking over to Riley (who was still conversing with Atobe) and grabbing her hand to bring her home.

“Bye!” she called to the Hyotei diva, waving with her free hand. “Why were you so angry, Kunimitsu? Do you not like him or something?”

“He’s not one of my favorite people,” he answered.

“He doesn’t seem that bad.”

“Try spending all your free time with him. You’ll be begging to have a gun to your head.”

“That sounds a little exaggerated, Mitsu.” He cringed. He hated that nickname. His mother called him that all the time, and since Riley found his name too long or whatever, she decided to shorten it sometimes. It annoyed him. She was too friendly with him for comfort. It was no wonder Atobe thought they were dating.

-----
And that's all I have for that fic right now. Hopefully I'll get more inspiration for it. Anyway, bye for now peeps!

Well, what a great way to spend my day off. I sat around with a sore throat and have been continually blowing my nose. My body is about ready to just give out on me. Stupid cold! It better disappear ASAP! Whoever gave me this thing is so....grrrrrrrrr. >.< Was watching the news earlier. I'm sure almost everyone in the US has heard about the Virgina Tech massacre that happened today. It's so sad. I just can't even comprehend what went through the shooter's mind to go to school with a gun and just start shooting people.

Anyway...guess I'm gonna watch YGO the Abridged Series with my bro. Oh yeah, and if anyone has ever wanted to see the first YGO series (the one never aired in America), it's at crunchyroll.com. I saw the first ep last night, and omg, Yami's voice is so girly...yet so creepy. Hehe, so bye now.

I still have a sore throat =( My mom thinks I may have strep O.o I hope not. I have to start listing what I'm gonna bring to Anime Boston this week. Squee! I'm so excited! Oh yeah, and apparently the whole east coast (where I live) was hit by a massive storm that we call a nor'easter. It's been raining non-stop since yesterday morning. It was also snowing a bit. Luckily, we don't get hurricanes or tornadoes, like some of the people farther south did. It did some heavy damage up here though with the severe winds.

Music! I found some of Tezuka's songs!







muhaha! Sasuke's singing! (well, technically it's Ishida from Bleach, but still let me be a sasuke fangirl >.<)




Atobe's songs! Everytime I hear him sing, I picture it's Hidan singing now...cuz I seriously want Suwabe Junichi to play Hidan's voice in the anime.






the meganes! (inui, tezuka, and oshitari)


haha! from the tenimiyu cast! Hyotei's chant


Oshitari!


and this is the song I want to use for an Akatsuki music video (once Hidan and Kakuzu show up in the anime, nya!)


Okays, I'm done ^-^

Dudes! I have a sore throat =( I'm watching Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series and omg...I haven't laughed so much in a long time. I wanna show my brother, but he's at his friend's house right now. That dooshbag >.< Oh well, at least there's no school tomorrow for us. Yay! I scanned in everything today, in case no one noticed XD I really want to paint ONE of the sketches later...but I just feel so...blah. I've written more to my PoT fics! Muhahaha!

***
“Ah! Kirihara-kun!”

Kirihara turned around, irritated. He wanted to hurry and meet up with Chris outside the school. “What?” he growled.

The girl flushed red. “Anou…I really like you!”

He blinked. “Yeah? And?”

“W-Well…I-I hoped we could maybe do something later…”

“Sorry, I’ve got plans.” He narrowed his green eyes. “With my girlfriend.”

The girl gasped. “G-Girlfriend? Since when does Kirihara-kun have a girlfriend?!”

He ignored her and walked away. He saw Chris waiting for him by the gate and smiled. “Hey,” he greeted. He took her by the hand and planted a chaste kiss on her lips. “Been waiting long?”

“No,” she replied, blushing slightly. “I just got out here. Um…Akaya, why is that girl coming over here?”

“Eh?” He turned around and rolled his eyes. “Jeez, I thought I already got rid of this crazy girl…”

“Kirihara-kun is dating the American?” the girl shrieked, pointing a finger rudely at Chris.

“Yeah, I am,” Kirihara snapped. “Now leave us alone. Your voice is annoying.”

“I will not accept this, Kirihara-kun! What does this foreigner have that I don’t?”

“For starters, a brain,” he sneered.

Chris muffled her laugh with her hand. The other girl glared at her, eyes blazing. “Stop laughing, filth!”

Kirihara felt his temper snap. He clenched his fits tightly. Chris gave him a warning look. “I’ll laugh if I want to,” she said coolly, turning towards the other girl. “Your personality is disgusting. You want to think you’re better than me? Then stop being a whiny little brat. Let’s go, Akaya.” She grabbed the black-haired boy’s hand and marched off.

“Nice,” he said with a grin. “You shut her up.”

“Like you said, she was annoying. I can’t stand people like that.”

***

Yuuta couldn’t describe it any other way.

Mizuki was glowing.

It was obvious to everyone else on the tennis team as well when their resident data collector came to practice that day. He was happier than they had ever seen him. At first, Yuuta thought that maybe his brother had finally remembered Mizuki and had agreed to play a tennis match. But that thought disappeared as quickly as it had come.

His brother would never do something like that.

So his next thought was that something good had happened with Bonnie. He didn’t like prying into anyone else’s business; that was Mizuki’s job. But he was curious. “Mizuki-san?” he asked tentatively.

“Yes, Yuuta-kun?” Yep. Definitely Bonnie-related happiness.

“Um…why are you so happy?” He figured he’d try and get a direct answer.

Mizuki gave his trademark smirk while twirling his finger in a lock of hair. “Don’t be such a nosy pest, Yuuta-kun. What I do in my private life is none of your business.”

“He’s a hypocrite dane,” Yanagisawa whispered.

“Did you say something?”

“N-Nothing dane!” Yuuta watched as Mizuki then sauntered off somewhere, smiling like it was his birthday all over again. “How much you wanna bet this has something to do with Bonnie-chan dane?” Yanagisawa mumbled.

Yuuta sighed. “Out of a ratio of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest percent? I’d say 11.”

“Hitomi, how are things with that boy?” her mother asked casually one night while the family ate dinner.

Hitomi glanced up from her food and blinked. “What boy?”

“That sweet boy with the red hair; Yuushi’s friend.”

She blushed. “Um…we’re just good friends, Okaa-san.”

“Really?” her father mumbled. “I was under the impression that you liked him.”

“I do…just not romantically.”

She cast a look at her cousin, who merely shrugged and continued eating his meal. She glared at him, angry that he wasn’t helping her at all. “Mou, Hitomi, when will you learn to love what’s in front of you?” her mother sighed. “He was such a nice boy.”

“If I may something, Obaa-han,” Yuushi addressed his aunt. “Gakuto really doesn’t have the mind set for a lasting relationship with anyone. He would have only ended up hurting Hitomi, so I thought it best to end any potential relationship the two might have had.”

The older woman stared at him. “I see. I can understand your logic, Yuushi. You care about Hitomi very much. You’re like the brother she never had.”

He visibly winced. I don’t want to be her brother, he thought angrily. I want… He felt Hitomi place a hand on his and he looked up at her, stunned. Hitomi…

“You’re right, Okaa-san. Yuushi is like a brother to me. I appreciate everything he’s done for me.”

“You’re welcome…Hitomi,” he replied, feeling his heart speed up as she continued to hold his hand. When she smiled at him, he suppressed a moan. It was taking all his willpower not to take her in his arms and kiss her.

And here's more of my Hyotei regulars/OC fanfic:

***

The next few days were hell. Asami felt that her firm attitude with the Hyotei boys was fading. She would get these pathetic looks and really, who can resist a pair of puppy eyes? Or, in her case, fourteen pairs of puppy eyes. Atobe and her still argued whenever the opportunity arose, but Asami now noted that he talked to her with a more flirtatious tone of voice. It was creeping her out.

What crept her out even more was when she received a letter of invitation to a party that Atobe was holding in regards to White Day. “He’s gotta be joking,” she grumbled. “Who throws a party on White Day?” She stared at the invitation, written in Atobe’s clear, elegant handwriting and snorted at the small P.S. he had added.

You MUST show up, Sakaki. And you must wear a dress. Dress pants and a nice shirt don’t count. Hope to see you there.

Atobe Keigo

“Such a brat…” she mumbled. “Now he’s demanding things from me. Just ‘cause I gave him a little chocolate…”

***

Asami felt extremely self-conscious when she arrived at Atobe’s mansion. She knew the guy was loaded, but she hadn’t thought he was THIS loaded. This isn’t normal, she thought arching a brow at all the decorations. All this for White Day? Sheesh…

“Finally, you decided to show up,” Atobe sneered, coming down the winding staircase. He was dressed in a designer suit.

“What do you mean?” Asami snapped. “I’m on time.”

“Ah, if you spared a glance at the clock you would notice that you’re five minutes late.”

It took all of Asami’s will-power not to strangle him. “Asami-han?” she heard Oshitari say from behind her.

“Hey, Oshitari,” she greeted. He didn’t respond and she frowned. “Yes, those are my legs, Oshitari. You can stop staring now.”

He blushed furiously and cleared his throat. “Have the others arrived yet, Atobe?”

Asami blinked. Others? As in, more people? “Jiroh is sleeping somewhere, Shishido and Ootori are on their way, Gakuto just arrived, and Hiyoshi will be slightly delayed.”

Gakuto bounded over to Asami, who was able to side-step him so that he didn’t glomp her. He grinned. “Nice outfit, Asami-chan,” he said.

“My uncle picked it out for me,” she mumbled back.

“Coach has good taste, na Kabaji?” Atobe said, to which the larger boy replied with his usual, “Ossu.”

Asami’s cheeks turned red. She was starting to wish she had longer hair so that it hid her face. Gradually, the other team members arrived, with Jiroh successfully glomping Asami from behind, causing her dress to loosen slightly and almost giving the boys a peep show of her chest. Lucky for her, none of them seemed to notice her predicament and she was able to readjust her dress without any of them questioning her.

When the music started, she was asked to dance at least once by all the boys. She begrudgingly agreed. Jiroh had been more preoccupied with trying to sleep on her shoulder when they danced. Gakuto wasn’t that much shorter than Asami, but because she was wearing heals, his face was level with her chest when they danced. Asami was not comfortable. Ootori claimed he was a bad dancer, but she had to admit that he was a lot better than her. Shishido had seemed a bit indifferent to the idea of dancing with her, as did Hiyoshi. But both boys had blushed like crazy when they were told by Atobe that the proper position for holding a girl when dancing was to hold her waist.

Oshitari had gradually led her across the dance floor, smiling at her with that smile that made lesser girls swoon. Atobe was last, sauntering towards her with that confident air that only he could achieve. He carried a single red rose in his hand. He then made an elegant bow, to which Asami had to stifle a laugh. He put the rose between his teeth and snapped his fingers. A tango rhythm erupted from the speakers in the room and he reached his hand out to her. Asami, completely in awe that he actually was asking her to dance the tango with him, grasped his hand and found herself being pulled flush against him. Her cheeks burned, but she had no time to think. Atobe’s left hand had grasped hers while his right held her waist. They strolled across the dance floor, capturing everyone’s attention.

When they turned to face each other, Atobe gave one of his devilish smirks before turning his head again to follow the addictive beat. Asami felt herself amazed that this spoiled brat was actually quite cultured. She’d heard rumors from her uncle that Atobe was the best student in his year. She also heard that his favorite subject happened to be Greek. Atobe is…amazing, she found herself thinking. The music stopped and he dipped her slowly, taking the rose from his mouth and smiling warmly at her. He then leaned closer and whispered, “Ore-sama no bigi ni yoina, Sakaki.”

She blinked as he handed her the rose and pulled her back to a standing position. She heard several claps, mostly from Ootori and Jiroh. “SUGOIIII!” the normally tired boy cried. “Asami-chan, I had no idea you could dance the tango!”

“I…can’t,” she admitted. “Atobe did everything.”

“I most certainly did not,” Atobe replied. “Remember, it takes two to tango.”

She flushed. “Atobe, you’re such a nuisance.”

“Aa~? You won’t be saying that when I present you with your White Day gift, na Kabaji?”

“Ossu.”

“You actually got me something?” she groaned, starting to dread the situation even more.

“Of course. Ore-sama wouldn’t get a gift for just anybody after all.”

“Mou, stop hogging her, Atobe,” Gakuto grumbled, latching onto Asami’s arm. “You had your chance to be a show-off.”

The taller boy glared at him. “Mind your words, Gakuto. I may have you running extra laps tomorrow.”

The magenta-haired boy stuck his tongue out. “That’s for Asami-chan to decide.” The glaring contest between the two was humorous, but Asami wanted no part of it. She grabbed Gakuto by the scruff of his collar and pulled him away. The other regulars laughed, while Atobe cracked an amused grin. Gakuto’s face burned in embarrassment. “Asami-chan, let me go!” he growled. “Everyone’s laughing…”

“Stop whining, Gakuto,” she replied. “If I didn’t pull you away, you and Atobe would have started a catfight any moment.”

“Mou, you’re so mean,” he pouted.

Asami rolled her eyes. “You’re so immature.”



***

Asami realized early on that the boys from the high school had once been interested in her. Several had actually followed her to the middle school tennis courts where she met up with the Hyotei regulars. Unfortunately, coming within a few feet of the tennis courts was like signing your own death warrant. She learned that many of the boys that had followed her to the courts later had an epiphany and decided they really didn’t like her all that much after all.

Asami didn’t believe in epiphanies. She believed that Atobe and his entourage had scared off the stalkers. This was annoying because it ruined any potential dates she could have had. Not that she was looking to date anyone of course. She could almost picture the hissing Atobe would make if he saw a boy he didn’t know trying to talk to Asami. It was funny and creepy at the same time.

After school one day, Asami was acutely aware of the presence of not one, but two boys following her to the tennis courts. She decided to ignore them, since they weren’t doing anything harmful. She found the regulars waiting for her on the courts. The two boys watching her hid themselves as best they could. But they were no match for Atobe’s gift of Insight.

It took only a matter of five minutes before Atobe was mumbling to his team, “Two stalkers this time. You know what to do.”

They all nodded with a resounding, “Hai!”

Asami was blissfully unaware of the commotion and wanted to stay that way. The first thing Atobe noticed about the new stalkers was that they seemed less perturbed by the fact that Asami helped coach the middle school tennis team. Most of the others had made loud declarations (giving them away) and one had evenly openly admitted defeat because Atobe was too rich and much handsomer than he. This small memory made Atobe’s lips curve into a smirk. Oh, he was going to have fun with these boys. It was amazing how stupid high schoolers could be sometimes.

Sukiyama Norio couldn’t begin to fathom why he had followed his friend and senpai, Hoshi Sadao, in following the strange but pretty Sakaki Asami. She was in several of his classes, but he didn’t know her that well. Sadao was obsessed with her. He had begged and pleaded with Norio to come with him on following her after school. Now Norio was beginning to regret coming at all. Asami had headed in the direction for the Hyotei middle school, which was notorious for its tennis team. Normally, he wouldn’t be scared of middle schoolers, but he had heard rumors of the team’s captain. It was said he could read people’s minds. The black-haired boy shuddered.

“Hoshi-senpai,” he whispered, grabbing the taller boy’s arm. “I think this is a bad idea.”

“Shut up, Sukiyama,” Sadao snapped, running a hand through his dyed blonde hair. “These Hyotei tennis guys are little kids. We can handle ‘em.”

“But—”

“Quiet. Asami-hime is talking.” The two huddled in a corner, didn’t realize the impending doom approaching. Norio was the first to notice that the shadow being cast behind them was too big to be theirs. He chanced turning around and let out a scream. When Sadao went to cover his mouth, he also screamed and jumped up from his hiding place. The giant form of Kabaji towered over them, giving them a look that translated into ‘leave or you die’. Both boys ran away, only to be stopped by Gakuto.

“Heh, what are high schoolers doin’ here?” he sneered, jumping to incredible heights and leaving the older boys speechless.

“S-Sugoi,” Norio mumbled, watching the acrobatic boy jump higher and higher.

“Idiot, don’t praise the freak!” his friend growled. He grabbed Norio by the arm and pulled him away, only to nearly collide with Shishido and Ootori. The taller boy wasn’t as intimidating as his doubles partner.

“What the hell do you want?” Shishido said coldly.

“Nothing, we were just leaving!” Sadao replied quickly, turning around, only to come face to face with Oshitari.

“Stalking is a bad habit,” he muttered, pushing his glasses further on his nose. “You aren’t some of Atobe’s fanboys, are you?”

“Fanboys?” Sadao shrieked. “Like hell! I like girls!”

Oshitari smirked. “Really? And what girl do you like?”

“Asami-hime of course!”

Norio shook his head in disbelief. His friend could be an even bigger idiot than him. “Asami-hime?” Jiroh repeated with a yawn, coming up behind them. “Asami-chan wouldn’t like that nickname.”

“She most certainly wouldn’t,” Atobe added, walking towards the boys. “Do you two despicable boys have a purpose for being on the Hyotei tennis courts?”

“Yeah!” Sadao cried. “I’m here to declare my love for Asami-hime!”

Atobe smirked cruelly. “Unfortunately, you won’t get a chance. No other boy speaks to Sakaki Asami but us, understood?”

“Hey, you can’t speak to us like that! We’re your senpais!”

“Senpai or not, leave.”

“And if we don’t?”

“Hoshi-senpai,” Norio whimpered.

Atobe raised an elegant eyebrow before snapping his fingers. “Kabaji.”

“Ossu.”

Sadao and Norio found themselves suspended in the air by the larger boy. Asami chose that moment to come over to see the unfortunate victims. She recognized one of the boys as being in some of her classes but the blonde one she had never seen. The hearts in his eyes when he saw her were frightening.

“Asami-hime!” he cried.

The Hyotei regulars winced at the nickname. Asami gave him an incredulous look. “Do I know you?”

“Hoshi Sadao of class 2-D! I’ve been in love with you since I first laid my eyes on you, Asami-hime!”

“That’s nice,” she replied coolly. “You’re interrupting the team’s practice. Leave.”

“B-But, Asami-hime—”

“Don’t call me that. C’mon guys, get back on the courts. Practice isn’t over yet.” She walked away, leaving the high school boys at the mercy of the Hyotei Gakuen tennis team.

“Ore-sama did warn you,” Atobe sighed dramatically. “Kabaji, throw this trash away.”

“Ossu.”

“W-Wait! You’ve corrupted her! She shouldn’t be coaching some ragtag middle school tennis team!”

Atobe glared at him heatedly. “Ore-sama is quite unsure if ore-sama heard you correctly. Did you call us a ‘ragtag middle school tennis team?’” he hissed.

“Yeah!” Sadao said smirking, thinking he was pretty smart and brave for standing up to Atobe Keigo.

“I see…On second thought, let’s let them feel the power behind our tennis, na Kabaji?”

“Ossu.”

Moments later found the boys all on the tennis courts. Sadao and Norio were holding rackets on one side of the court while Atobe stood on the opposite side. “Ore-sama will face you both single-handedly,” he announced.

“We’ll still beat you,” Sadao crowed. “Tennis isn’t that hard.”

Norio cringed behind him. “Hoshi-senpai, I don’t know how to play tennis.”

“Neither do I. C’mon, it’ll be a cinch. You just hit the ball with the racket.”

“O-Okay.”

“Here I go!” Atobe called, serving the ball. Neither boy moved when the ball bounced passed them.

“What the—? That serve was so fast,” Sadao muttered.

Several minutes later…

“Ore-sama no bigi ni yoina!” Atobe shouted, finishing off his Hametsu e no Rondo.

Asami calmly said, “6 games to love. Atobe wins.”

“Ore-sama didn’t even break a sweat,” he sneered. “Now leave the courts before ore-sama decides to use force.”

“B-But Asami-hime,” Sadao whimpered.

“Is not yours,” the diva snarled. “Leave.”

The two high school boys nodded, giving in to defeat. It was another victory for the Hyotei tennis team. Asami sighed as she stood up. “You enjoyed that too much, Atobe,” she grumbled.

I was thinking maybe Suigetsu (because I LOVE him) and...hmm...Karin? Maybe. I really like her. So that leaves 3 more (since I have 3 more pieces of bristol board left. I wanna draw Kakuzu, but I suck at drawing him. Sorry Kaku! I can try though. He's sexy when he takes off his cloak and lets down his hair ^-^ Ooh! Kabuto! I need a sexy man in glasses! Okay...so one more person...hey, maybe I can draw both Lee and Gaara? and show it to Bridget and Erica...hehe...or I could draw Sai, because everyone should love the smexy artist ninja =) Him and his love for penises, haha. So yeah...I'll see what I can do. I have some big pieces of bristol board left, so yeah. If my damn finger ever heals, I'll go searching model sites (i like modeling my characters ^-^) and find good poses. Yay! So um...bye for now. If I draw anyone above, I'll let you guys know.

UPDATE: I found this awesome model site: www.iballer.com/models and was able to draw most of the characters, except Kakuzu, Gaara, and Lee using some of the models as reference. Oh yeah, and one of my friends sent me this link to these awesome Naruto fan flashes. They're awesome and funny.
