   Sorry I been a no post lately.
I will say I am workin on postin that pic just been havin some issues gettin that image onto the net. as soon as I get cleared I'll get it up.
Well not much has really happened lately I've been layin low lately, but just last night one of my friends came in from college and spent the night. So we went to lunch yesterday, then came home and listened to some "Panic at the Disco", "Angels and Airways", and "Taking Back Sunday".
Today then we played DDR and did some Karaoke. But I also tried teachin her some guitar moves but that didn't work too well.^_^' She couldn't see the b and e# strings. Yea her eyesight is bad.
Other than that nuthin really has been goin on. been really quiet and just been chillin out. The only thing is that my dad is still down. He injured his siatic nerve, but today he went to a chiropractor to make sure it was just the nerve. and found out he had two slipped disks. So he's startin to do better.
Otherwise I'm stayin chilled, and tryin to enjoy the last week of my vacation. Well hope that all of ya have a good night and if ya wanna talk to me feel free to IM or pm. So long people! But before I go I wanna post a little poem I wrote not to long ago. see what ya think. Would love opinions on it.

Helping me to fly,
Finding my wings.
He set me free from my prison,
A cage I placed on myself.
No clue what he has done,
He’ll likely never know.
Knowing someone is always there,
Someone to turn to when I need to let go.
Even a bad day won’t loom over me,
Changing my thoughts for the better.
Words to return my smile,
No matter the original cause.
Security in his presence,
Playful in his nature,
Determination in his heart.
The heart of a child,
But body and wings of an eagle.
You my friend, hold a highly cherished place deep within my heart.
My trust in your hands,
Would look to you for anything.
The only one I’ve ever grown this close to,
One of the few hands I would take.
There are no words I can say,
No phrases to explain how much you mean to me.
Only thing I can say is thank you….

   Tis late...
Ok it's past midnight and I'm just startin to get tired. Kinda sad no? hehe, nah night owl here. This post isn't gonna be long though cause I was just workin on my story and my hands are beginin to hurt.
Happily I'm almost back to 100% healthy and I get the day all to myself tomorrow!!!!! Yay party!! Well not really just means I get the house to myself. Rare blessing that I cherish. ^_^ hahaha!! ah well other than that nada else happened. just the usual, stuffs. Well I'm gonna go chill out and get ready for bed. But I'll leave ya with my next chap, and a pic.^_~ enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ai spotted two people sprint down the stairs past her; one she thought looked like Ronin. She called after the two that had run past, but was too late. The two of them had already gotten out the door.
The pair made their way halfway down the street towards the bar where Tsuki worked. Tsuki had been serving another fallen angel that had just stopped in for a drink and heard a slight commotion outside.
“Who could be laughing that much...” He started to go to the edge of the counter to go see, but stopped when the door opened. Akio and Ronin walked in. Akio had changed into different clothes to fit her new look, which was now a pair of dark navy jeans that were low riders, and a light blue halter-top revealing the two tattooed marks where her wings would form. Ronin had gotten a pair of dark khaki cargos with a black muscle shirt. They both looked at Tsuki and smiled.
“Remember us?” Akio raised an eyebrow as she asked the question. Tsuki laughed at them.
“We need people like you two for this war. I’m guessing that’s what you came here to learn about, and maybe even give a helping hand.” They both nodded. “Ok then. Sit here and I’ll tell you.” He pointed to two seats at the bar and then to the drinks behind it.
“No thanks Tsuki. Ronin ya want anything?”
“Nah... I’m good.” They both sat down as Tsuki took up a place behind the bar after serving another demon that had just walked in.
“Ok were to start… “He took a drink from a glass of water he had poured himself. “Well the war began as a simple disagreement between species. This was usually normal since most of the different species of demon and fallen angel had disagreements or small arguments often. But this time it was different. The demons that picked the fight… were ones we had never seen before. They had the fire of hell burning in their eyes and were not to mention, more powerful. They shredded many of our fighters on the spot, others fled for safer, more secluded areas. When they drove us to the brink of our territories, most of the species formed a temporary alliance to maybe stop them from taking over. We have been fighting ever since really… with no progress what-so-ever.” He rubbed his eyes slowly in frustration over those words. He knew how hard everyone was fighting with making absolutely no victories over this bloodthirsty enemy. Ronin looked at Tsuki as he took another drink with a very disgusted look on his face.
“That is why we’re here. We wanna help ya with this war.” Tsuki looked at Ronin with a look of slight disbelief at the amount of confidence in Ronin’s voice as he told him they wanted to help with this hopeless endeavor.
“You’re serious? You really want to help?” Akio nodded.
“Why have these powers if we can’t use them. If we have the ability to help in a situation like this, we should help. Right?” Tsuki nodded in agreement with her.
“Yes that is true. If ya have the ability to help ya should.” Ronin nodded to him with the same level of agreement.
“Then will ya get us to the demon world where we can actually help out and not just sit here talkin about it.” Tsuki slightly laughed to the extreme confidence radiating from Ronin.
“What makes you so confident that you both will be able to survive one second without training of some sort in the art of war. Even if you two have very strong abilities without the training that normal demons get with fighting each other daily, you can’t tap into the inner power both of you posses.” Akio leaned in close to him with a look Ronin had never seen before. She had a look of very high determination without fear. Knowing how determined she could get if she really wanted to get something done, he kind of feared a little for Tsuki.
“Then why don’t ya get someone that can train us? Cause we're getting there anyway to help and ya can’t stop me from achieving that, even if I have to go through hell and fight my way through the hard way.” Tsuki moved back slightly uncomfortable at how close she had moved to him and the look of ferocity in her eyes. Akio gave an icy glare and bared her fangs just enough to see a little white.
“Are ya gonna train us or do I have to show ya what I already know.” Tsuki put his hands up in almost a form of a shield.
“Ok… just relax, and I will train you both to be sure you’re ready for this.” He got up and opened the door behind the bar and the lift table so that they could follow him. Both followed silently as he led them into a back room. Akio could slightly see with the night vision she had gained, but still could not see very much. Tsuki hit a light switch and all three shut their eyes and turned away blinded by the sudden bright light. Akio turned back to Tsuki and watched him. Ronin was taking a quick glance of the room memorizing anything that could be used in one way or another. Tsuki turned back to them from the far side of the room so that he could explain what they would do.
“Akio, since you seem to be the more confident and challenging fighter I’ll challenge you first. Step forward and try taking me down.” Akio smirked and stepped forward. She stood in front of him slightly to the side ready for any kind of attack. Tsuki threw four blades at her, which she was able to side step and avoid. Catching one blade in her fingers and throwing it back Tsuki with a look of a fighter in her eyes. It hit right next to his neck on the wall which he smirked at.
“Very good.” Tsuki then turned back to Akio. “Try this now.” He pulled out a katana and ran at Akio.
“Nice try Tsuki.” She jumped out of the way and nailed him in the back with her foot. She then threw a few ice shards at him stopping him in his tracks.
“Watch those, cause remember they are poisonous.”
“I know. I wasn’t gonna hit ya with them.” She gave a smirk and just blinked at him.
“Told ya I was better than ya thought.” He nodded at her.
“Yea ya did this time Akio.” He looked from her to Ronin.
“What about you?” Ronin looked up at him with a smirk.
“I’ll give ya my best shot.” Knowing Ronin’s new specialty was the sword he pulled out a katana.
“Alright then, let’s spar.” Tsuki charged him to make a slash attack, but with speed unlike he’d ever seen, Ronin blocked the attack with something long and black. Tsuki back stepped and saw a long black-sheathed katana.
“How do you have the Black Dragon Katana? That’s only rewarded to highly skilled competitors!” He pointed to Akio.
“It was a present from her. She knew I had an ability with swords and presented it as a weapon I could use.” Tsuki nodded to Akio.
“Must say very good job in being awarded that sword.” Akio bowed to him the respectful way she was taught. Then she slowly turned to Ronin.
“Remember though skill is not good enough on its own, ya have to think of the sword as just an extension to your arm.” He nodded to her that he understood. Then he took his stance. Tsuki motioned for him to begin his attack.
“Let’s see what you have.” Ronin seeing that Tsuki was expecting him to attack from the front, slowly moved to the side never taking his glance off of Tsuki. With a slight grin Tsuki moved with him recognizing the move as being one that would usually place the attacker behind the victim.
“Nice try young one, but not quite good enough.” Tsuki moved with speed only matched by the most skilled warrior and was met with a sword point at his neck and Ronin’s eyes glowing red. His stance making it so that Tsuki’s attack would have at the most grazed his arm leaving him a window of deadly strikes.
“You were saying?” His eyes went back to normal and Tsuki was met with Akio giving a slight smirk and Ronin glaring.
“You’ve both done better than I had ever expected. Usually demons held in this world loose their power, but yet you both seemed to have retained it to a point that’s usually unheard of.” Akio nodded in agreement, and moved forward from the wall.
“That’s the difference between us and other people. In this world we have never felt that we have actually belonged and preferred to be taken out of the world to one that we felt more apart of.” Tsuki scratched his head a moment in reasoning it all together.
“It would make sense with what you’re saying. If both of you never felt comfortable here your guard would have never dropped, hence leaving your power untarnished.” Ronin walked slowly over to Akio moving behind her and wrapping his arms slowly around her waist.
“So are you going to send us into this war or are we going to just be stuck here till it’s over.” Tsuki laughed at them and pulled a jewel out of his pocket. He aligned it with the stream of light that was coming in through the dusty window in the room. It glinted with a blood red light opening on the wall next to them. Soon the wall itself was a mass of dripping crimson goo. Akio grimaced a little at the sight of the dripping ooze.
“Don’t worry it’s just a passage the stuff won’t touch you.” Ronin nodded and scooted Akio forward. She glared back at him slightly for pushing her, but then started walking towards the passage. She touched it and felt a slight burn to her skin, but it wasn’t painful, more a sense of need. She took a breath and stepped into it. As the goo passed over her she felt the cool slime, but also felt the heat around her. That’s when a shock of pain hit her in the back; she tried to scream with the hit, but was choked. She felt herself fall and opened her eyes. She saw around her fire, and beings of unspeakable origin, some old others seemed to be fairly young. But all in pain, tortured in a never-ending cycle. She felt a very hot force against her and closed her eyes until she felt a cool breeze on her face again. She slowly opened her eyes seeing only white. She tried moving but then felt a hand on her and heard an unknown voice.
“Easy babe, you’re going to be ok, just relax. Your body went through hell getting here.” She relaxed when she felt the same hand move over her forehead and through her hair. Then she drifted into blackness again.




leave ya with mister Miyavi.

   Ah-llo!!!
Feelin a little better today thankfully! but I now look like a certain red nosed deer more than ever.^_^ yes ya can laugh at my expense I can take it.
Just hopin I don't have to spend my entire break when I have the house to myself and can actually go out and venture around with no time tables... otherwise it'll suck to high heavens. Also if ya know any remedies for reducin swelling in ya sinuses please do share I'm gettin desperate. (No I will not rip them outta my head even though I want to, can't take meds cause I'm on dayquill, and already tried Ice packs so I'm outta options.) Other than that not much goin on.

Hope all of ya had an awesome, but safe New Years cause I know I did.... well sorta.. I only lasted till 10:30 cause my nyquill made me go and read that unbelievably good book that someone printed on the inside of my eyelids. hehe, sorry little pun there. Well I'm gonna leave ya alone on that note cause who knows what could come out of this medicine head brain. hahaha!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“My weight must have changed dramatically.” She looked up at the now clear sky, it was the deep navy like she had expected and the bright full moon. She recalled her wings and spread them out letting the breeze run through the soft feathers, and the moonlight glittering off the glossy coat. She practiced the flapping motion to catch air for a moment then started a slight running trot. As she almost got to the end of the roof of her building she kicked and jumped off hard, spreading her wings. Expecting to hit the top of the roof she closed her eyes until she felt the feeling of floating. Slowly opening one eye she looked down and saw she was riding a small thermal drift up. A large smile crossed her face as she found she was flying. Riding the thermal further up she looked down over the bustling streets and people walking on the sides.
“This is amazing…” She whispered to herself, and then flew up higher. She kept going up till she hit the clouds and went through one. The mist of water droplets hitting her skin softly, as she passed through the could until she reached the end. She looked up at the sky, which was amazingly clear. Looking at every star and even the moon how much bigger it looked. Hovering for a moment above the clouds admiring the view no one had ever seen except the pilots that had flown before her. She breathed deeply taking in the fresh air, noticing that even the low oxygen level that high didn’t bother her. She took one last look around her then dived down through the cloud again. Akio flew over to the empire state building landing on the very tip of the antenna. She folded her wings behind her and looked over the cityscape all around her. She turned around to face her building she had taken off from and saw a figure walking around the roof. She looked closer and saw it was Ronin. He was walking around scratching his head slightly. Akio smirked and took off from the antenna and flew towards him. She had picked up some snow from another building and dropped a little on his head. Feeling the light powdery snow fall on him he looked up.
“What are ya doin?” She smirked and flew down lower landing softly on top of the blanket of snow again. “Was doin what I told ya. Was testing out my wings.” He smiled at her.
“Ya musta been flyin high too ya got some ice crystals in ya hair.” She nodded excitedly.
“I had gone as far as to just above the clouds.” He looked at her eyes as they widened a little.
“Ya went up that far?! How’d it look?” She smiled even more her eyes slightly twinkling with the moonlight.
“It was one of the most beautiful and peaceful scenes I have ever seen.” He smiled pleased with the answer. She looked back up at the sky then at Ronin.
“Hold onto me.” He looked slightly confused at her. “Just hold on, I wanna try somethin.” He wrapped his arms around her waist and she held onto him. She spread her wings and lifted them into the air with a few flaps of her wings. Ronin held onto her tighter so he wouldn’t slip. She glided on the air flows for a few moments as he looked around them as they moved through the air. She turned in the air and headed up above the clouds again. Ronin’s eyes widened with the sight he beheld around them. The air above the clouds being so clean, and the vision of the night sky so crisp and clear. She flew around a few times through the clouds seeing that Ronin was loving the feeling of free flight.
“Akio this is amazing!” His voice was slightly cracking with the amount of shock that he had been given with the flight above the clouds.
“I told ya.” She gave a smile and went again through the clouds sending another wave of mist over them. Ronin was laughing with Akio at how they were so afraid of transforming into the form that had always meant to be in. She flew down to the top of the building setting him down then landing softly on the snow herself. Akio stretched and recalled her wings in a dense cloud of black mist. She looked at Ronin slightly with a smirk. “How was that?” He just gawked at her not sure what to say.
“Akio that was unbelievable!” She smiled at him and ran over with a running tackle knocking him to the snowy roof. She sat on his chest and looked down at him. She noticed he looked at her slightly confused.
“Did you get really light or something?” She nodded to him.
“Yea I did so that I could fly with no problems. If ya notice when I walk on the snow I don’t even leave a trace.” He thought for a moment then remembered when he had come up on the roof he had seen no trace of her being up there.
“Well that will come in handy. I think that we should go see that bartender since he seems to know what we have to do. Then at least maybe we can put these abilities to good use.” Akio agreed with him and started to the door. Ronin ran up behind her and flipped her hair over her eyes.
“Ronin! Ya jerk!” She flipped her hair back and ran after him as he ran down the stairs to the entrance.

   good news
Yes finally I'm startin to feel better. Migrane has dulled, and can finally breathe once more. Can forget talkin though, my throat issues switched to just purely no voice. But that I can deal with. People around me are happy cause I'm quiet and I'm happy that I have a reason not to reply.^_^

After I post this gonna do my rounds and see what everyone is up to. and oh!! if ya missed my last chapter be sure to read that before ya read today's otherwise ya'll be both lost and confused. Honestly not much has been happenin either... mostly been sleepin and chillin out while listenin to my dad complain about his hamstring injury thing. All I can say is thank god for ipods with ear buds so that while he's rantin I'm listenin to Rush or Whitesnake and in a total space out mode.

Which reminds me I never told ya guys. I did get my wich this Christmas and my parents got me a new guitar. and homestly with no help from me gotta say they did a damn good job pickin one out. They got me a Fender 60th anniversary edition starcaster, the black metallic and pearl plate one. and here's a pic of it in case ya have no idea what I'm talkin about:
http://www.fender.com/starcaster/products/prod_images/guitars/0283001165_xl.jpg
that's it.^_^ plays sweet and looks better in person. well enough of that, I better make my rounds before everyone starts forgettin about me... don't wanna start losin friends... Ok well, gonna post the next part of my story along with a pic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ronin got on his knees next to her and watched in awe at the sight before him. Akio’s normally neatly filed and trimmed nails were now growing to be like claws, along with her skin tightening, and bones reforming to comply with the new body chemistry. She let out a loud and pitiable cry of pain as tears began to fall from her eyes, slowly turning from clear to crimson. Her teeth slowly sharpened into fangs as she twisted with each crack of bone. Closing her eyes tightly she tried once again to shut out some of the agonizing pain.
Ronin began to see her body float in the air before him as the final adjustments were made, until her eyes shot open with a silver light that went from her eyes to her back then wrapping her in a curtain of black. She slowly looked down at him, and unfolded her wings from around her body revealing an angelic-like form with the eyes of a demon and a mark under her right eye in crimson.
“Ron..in.. is.. it.. is it… over...?” He nodded and wrapped his arms around her.
“And don’t worry. You’re still as beautiful as ever.” She smiled at him.
“How different do I look?” He nodded towards the mirror.
Akio looked over and her jaw dropped slightly and her eyes slightly widened. She looked nothing like she had before. Slowly she got up and walked towards the mirror. The reflection staring back at her was much different than what she had expected to see. Her hair was a powder blue and shoulder length. The normal pale blue eyes she usually saw had turned a bright sliver mixed with a little teal on the outer edges, with a cat like pupil in the center. She had fangs like a cat’s as well, but were smaller. She was thinner too in her body build and lighter on her feet. Moving to look at her new claws she felt that any motion was almost effortless. Looking back at Ronin she gave a smile.
“See I told you.” After he said this a spike of pain went through his chest causing him to wince. Akio ran to his side and gently laid him back knowing the pain he would feel. She watched as his muscles slightly changed, and noticed his eyes change to be blood red with a black ring around the outside. He let out a cry of pain as she heard a crack of a bone, and saw his rib cage slightly compress to be smaller. His hair changed quickly from the usual brown and blonde style to a mix of red and brown. His muscles started to shrink, but his strength seemed to improve she noticed. Akio also saw a bluish light surround him. As his head shot up and eyes glowed red, then he went silent. She looked down at him giving him time to recover. He opened his eyes and smiled at her.
“It’s over isn’t it?” She nodded and pointed at the mirror. He sat up and looked, was pretty shocked at the person looking back at him.
“That’s me?!” Akio laughed and nodded again.
“Yea that’s you.” She got up and stretched. Then gave some space between them and turned in a way that she had space behind her. She closed her eyes and put her arms across her chest. Ronin wondered what she was doing until he saw her let out a breath slowly, and two black clouds form around her. He saw as each bit of the cloud became her wings.
When they fully formed she flexed them getting used to the feel.
“Those will be helpful when we have traffic.” She laughed and just shook her head.
“Can see ya sense of humor is no different than it was.” He nodded to her.
“Guess not huh.” She smirked and remembered something that she had put in her bag. She walked over to in digging through it pulling out a small but long box. Setting it on Ronin’s lap she nodded to him to open it. He was not sure what was in it. Upon opening it he saw a katana in a black sheath with a black Chinese dragon symbol on it.
“It’s yours now. It’s a very good sword, one of the ones given to only the highest-ranking samurais. The dragon on it is where the name comes from actually and that is the Black Dragon sword or the Midnight Dragon as it’s sometimes called.” He unsheathed it and practiced a little using it. Akio was in awe how he could so easily wield it so soon, but smiled. Just as they had been messing with their new abilities they heard a knock at the door. Kisho’s nervous voice was on the other side.
“Uh… can I come in now?...” Akio opened the door and greeted him. As soon as he saw her he almost passed out from shock.
“Akio is that you?!”
“Who else would it be?” She stepped back from him to let him see Ronin.
“Ok I’m not gonna even ask what’s going on?” He walked away very confused and more in shock than anything.
“Ronin I wanna try out my wings. Not gonna go far, but curious.” He nodded seeing her anxious to see what the feeling of free flight was like. She recalled her wings and walked out into the living room where Kisho was sitting in a confused daze.
“I will be back soon.” He made a slight noise acknowledging it. She walked over to the stairs and up to the roof. When she opened the door leading to the roof level she saw a blanket of snow had covered the top. She slowly walked out, almost gliding over the snow, not even sinking into it.
