   Current Projects: Slayers Screenshots; See all ToS storylines; Manga for competition; ...and a new fanfic ^^;;;
^^; Hey there, sorry for the absence. I’m visiting your sites right now, but I probably won’t get to all of them since I have Institute in a while, I’m sorry. You see, what happened is that I was asked to give an opening thought in my institute choir class, and the only thing I could think of spur of the moment was to share Momiji’s story of the Foolish Traveler and the point of being happy by serving others. So I started with “Well, there’s this cartoon called Fruits Basket…” and a group of sopranos started giggling. o.O??? “You guys know it?” So yeah, I found some am-i-ne friends here in town! So one of them has Howls Moving Castle, so I was able to finally see it in English! She also has some series, so I’ve been watching them these past few weeks. Are any of you familiar with The Slayers? It sounded like a scary anime to watch, but when I saw the dvd covers, it looked a bit more friendly so I decided to watch it. It’s an okay anime, a few funny jokes in there…okay so I watched the whole thing because of Zelgadis ^///^;;; ...and I started another fanfic to take place at the end of the last season. The intro turned out beautifully; it sounds very poetic. I’m so proud of it I want to share it with you! It doesn’t matter if you know the anime or not, here’s some good detailed reading for all of you:

The sun burned the desert sands as they cut across the barren land. A hooded figure defied the force of the elements, trekking amongst the whirlwinds. He had a mission to fulfill and was not yet willing to let this wasteland win. Even in all its might, the dust failed to even scratch him; his skin of rock refused to be eroded.

As the day reached mid-point, the wind decided to take a break. The traveler decided to do likewise. He sat on a rock and removed his hood. His silver, wire hair glistened in the noon-day sunlight. After taking a deep breath, he pulled out his canteen to take a sip of water warmed by the desert heat. Around the rim hung a pink wristband with a black star in a blue sphere. This was a memento from someone dear; someone who had duties to attend to that kept her away from him. He gazed at the wristband while reflecting on all of their previous adventures together. A faint sigh escaped his lips as he wondered how she was doing in her royal role at the moment.

   Spring Cleaning at the Castle of Cartoons!
Refi: As promised, I have an entertaining post this time, in commemoration of Spring Cleaning for the whole “Spring Break” (It will be a wonder if I ever get a break again) We at the castle are doing likewise. And as a treat we have a special guest star, my very own flesh-and-blood real life sister…Meja!

Meja: *comes in holding mop and pail* -_- Thanks for making me a part of this.

Refi: No, thank you for helping us with our Spring Cleaning! Now let’s get to work everyone! *Starts humming Whistle While you Work and hands Kratos a vacuum and hose*

Kratos: o.O Is she always like this?

Refi: *continues humming while handing Lloyd a bottle of window cleaner and a rag*

Lloyd: Is she?

Kurama Clone #2: *sigh* And I’ve been trying so hard to hide it too!

Hiei Clone #3: >.> Actually she grumbles whenever there is something to clean; she hates cleaning.

Kyo Clone #4: You should know; you make enough big messes for being a shrimp!

Hiei Clone #3: You’re starting to make me miss Kuwabara!

Hatori Clone #6: You two should settle down and use that energy on something more productive like dusting off all the books in the library.

* * *

Robot Maidfrom an episode of the original MegaMan series: I don’t do windows!

Sesshomaru Clone #11: >.> Don’t come to me with your problems.

* * *

Meja: *finishes sweeping the bathroom* Nice and Clean!

Kenshin: *puts rug to dry on shower rod* Yes, Nice and Clean! ^^

Little Suzume and Little Ayame: Nice ‘en Clean! Nice ‘en Clean! ^.^ ^o^

* * *

Yami Yugi Clone #7: Now Dark Magicain, use Dark Magic Attack and wipe out the remaining mold spores between the tiles!

Yukina Clone #3: Wow, that was impressive. He got rid of the mold quicker than this Clorox stuff does!

Kuwabara: Oh yeah? Well look how efficiently I can clean? ^^ *uses spirit sword to disinigrate cobwebs*

Yami Yugi #7: Puh, that’s nothing, Kuribo! Use your fur to dust off all the shelves!

Kuwabara: Oh yeah, well watch…

Hiei Clone #3: >.< You two buffoons stop it! You’re needed in the library now!

* * *

Lloyd: *scrubing windows* Man I’m beat! How many more windows are left in this castle?

Kratos: *vacuuming tapestries w/ hose* You really should learn to ration your energy.

Noise: *pauses licking the table tops clean* Arwoo!

Lloyd: But my arm is ready to fall off!

Kratos: If you have energy to complain, you have energy to clean! Just think of it as training.

Lloyd: Training huh? SONIC THRUST *thrust arm through window* Oops ^^;

Kratos: *sighs* You’re going to have to pay for that you know?

Lloyd: Aw man I’m broke…O-O NO! You guys can’t sell my swords for them! >o<

Meja: *enters to inspect Banquet hall; runs white glove over head table*

Noishe: *howl*

Meja: *nodding and using a frail old mans voice* Oh yes, yes, very good.

* * *

*Ryoko and Ayeka peel potatoes in the corner*

Trunks: Goku? What are you doing?

Goku: *sticks head out of a refrigerator* Oh hey! I was just helping by cleaning out the fridges ^_____^ Want some?

Trunks: Eh o.o;;; I don’t think that’s what Refi had in mind. Now we don’t have anything to eat for dinner!

Goku: No dinner! ToT

* * *

Kratos: Meja, where is your sister?

Meja: *Shrugs* I don’t know. But I’m going to have a party with Yusuke!

~Refi’s Corner~
My last post was spur of the moment, so here I am answering questions from the time before that:

Do you know the anime Hikura No Go? Or Megaman?
Sorry, bu Hikura No Go is a no go in anime I know ^^; As for MegaMan I used to watch the original series!

What is your favorite season?
Summer! I love warmth and heat etc. Plus the sun makes me happy.

What is your favorite holiday?
Easter (yes I like it more than Christmas) because it commemorates the Saviors resurrection. He prepared the way so that can live again as well. Even though we will die in this life, the separation of our spirits from our bodies will be but a short time Thanks to what He had done for us.

What is your favorite color?
Deep and calm Turquoise.

What is your favorite candy?
Chewey stuff that has substance. I’d say either Snickers, Gummy Bears, or Red Vines.

That’s it for now, please feel free to submit any questions, they don’t have to be about me either. And I’ll leave you with a question!

What would you do to promote World Peace?

*Hears Meja in the other room* o.O *runs waving arms; screaming* WAIT! You can’t have a party here! We just Cleaned! >o<

Spur of the moment happiness *sorry for any and all typos*
I'm soooo excited! Do any of you remember CTRNikkiM from about a year ago here on MyO? SHE'S BACK!!! ^o^ Yay I'm so happy to see her again! She's like a little sister of mine!

Oh and sorry about my poll link not working last post (for those who tried it before telling me it was broken and I fixed it, thank you for letting me know so I could fix it) but the link is fixed now, and Thank you to those who took it. Now that people took the quiz, I need to do something about it ^^; which proves to be more difficult as our internet will soon be disconnected ToT which means I need to learn to visit the library more, which I tried last week, but the internet room wasn't the greatest of atmospheres V.V (I'll go there again tomorrow if I get the time after chores/weeding here and visit all of you then)

On a brighter note, I got to participate in a Passover Sedar Meal earlier this week at Institute. It was a shortened version, but I learned a bit about Jewish culture and saw the meanings in thier symbolism. It was quite the experience and I thought that people have so much in common, why don't we realize this and why can't we all be friends? Why can't people just get along? Now this may sound silly, but this must start with the individual! You all have incredible power! Believe it or not, but everything you impacts society! This could be for good or bad. You can brighten someones day simply by smiling. Or you can miss out on school whereas if you went you would have been able to later discover the cure for cancer and save millions of lives-dramatic example I know. But I hope all of you are trying to be the best you can *group hugs* You are important and I am glad to know all of you. Thank you for visiting me and reading my usually over-sized post...And WOW have I gone on a distant tangent?!?! o.O ^^ Important stuff, but the thought process there is a bit hard to follow.

So then...yeah Oh yes, Tuesday I was in The Garden (by Michael McClean) Do you know of it? It was WAY powerful. If you ever get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it! It impacted me immensely!

So how's the weather for you? Its FINALLY warm spring here, and raining today w/ thunder ^^ Ok, now I'm rambling, I'll try and have an entertaining post next time...if I can draw myself away from ToS long enough to write one ^^; I've been bad, I know. Have a WONDERFUL EASTER everyone! And remember HE LIVES!

   Where was I?
Apology

Another few weeks since my last post. I’m sorry. I have lots of ideas that I want to share, and then I don’t get around to typing them down. I’ll admit that I’m entirely at fault since I choose to play Tales of Symphonia between work and my growing role in the community ^^; I am learning new ideas from it, and learning new things are important! And it’s so much more fun to learn things on ones own than out of a text book in class to later regurgitate then forget.

Hiei in RainbowLand Quiz form

Yeah, I’ll be doing a 3rd Hiei in RainbowLand quiz…eventually…I’ve had a bit of demand and fan mail (Fan mail!!! WEEEE!!!) about the first two quiz parts on Quizzilla. So if you would like to help me decide the format, Here is a poll I have regarding that. (And thanks to Inuyasha311 for providing the music for the poll ^^ I tried to put her button in it, but the credit didn’t show up >.> ToT So I’m sorry sis! I thank you for to usage of music and and am acknowledging you for it here to make amends!

Anime and stories

So YYH has finished airing…when I get over my ToS craze, I’ll have to watch the series again to get back into groove of writing the sequel series. Any of you still interested in making YYH Beyond a reality? ^^ …oh, and for those following YGO!, isn’t the Pharaoh’s Memory Series num-a-licious??? After reading the episodes summaries as they were released in Japan, I’ve been waiting for this for nearly 2 years now! >.>;;; Although I had hoped to have finished writing the “Pharaoh’s Past” and “Pharaoh’s Future” series before the memory series was released… ^^ I still have the fanarts, I was looking over my old fanarts last week, boy don’t they look good (in person, stupid scanners downgraded quality)! For my drawing ability at least, they do look good, and very colorful!

Ask me Anything!

We had a wonderful church-wide conference this last weekend. I would like to do what I can to be more open with my beliefs. My good friend, Equus is really good at that! So I invite you (you don’t have to) that if you have any questions, feel free to ask. And they don’t necessarily have to be religious questions. I have in mind like an “Dear Abby” except more personal since you guys are my friends (even though I’m turning into not being so good of a friend on-line with an increasing real life…real…*twitchtwitch*). So if you want me to answer privately, you may PM me, and if you don’t mind me answering in a post, you can question me in the comments. Oh and even though I am excepting personal questions, please do not ask anything to disclose my true identity or location, thank you ^^

   Messaging and Warnings
Refi: Hey there. Sorry my attendance online is dwindling; working is really taking a lot out of me. And then there’s issues on who gets the computer and I can only go online at night. So I’ll try to be brief and I will try and respond to emails from the past…month or so v.v;;; Remember way back when MyO wasn’t working, I had sent many PMs right before that, and I believe they were not received, so if I have yet to respond to a PM you have sent me, please PM me what it was about since I’m sure that I haven’t received many from that weekend that were sent to me.

And then to make this post worthwhile, last week I went to a lecture on the adolescent brain. It was…interesting. But I know many of my friends here on MyO are in that age group, infact my brain is still developing too, my jugement won’t be fully developed till about age 25! Before I left, the speaker started to describe what research found on the effects of drugs and alcohol on teenage brains vs. over 25. Now I personally have previously committed that I will never consume any liquor, but the effects of what was described astounded me so much, that I want to warn all of you since you are my friends. You may not notice any difference, but one beer will effect you for 6 months. You can still remember what you already knew, but are unable to learn new things! The speaker said that it takes 2-3 drinks for the same effect on an adult. Well, I’m not going to keep on preaching this since I’m sure you have all heard it in school, and there’s plenty of research on the net. But I made a banner that all of you who will accept the challenge to not drink can take! (and if you commit, please let me know for statistical purposes, thank you)

   Secret Project Revealed!

No, that is not the Secret Project, but I got my film developed ^^ so I wanted to share! ^_^ And now it’s time! Yes, I know you have all been waiting long for this, so we got over 20 questions total now, so I’ll answer them and link you to my Secret Project!

Q:Destinyssweetman: Is it gonna be some crazy fansite with multiple crazy things on it?

A: No, but funny you should ask, I’m working on one of those right now too! ^^

Q:Shishou: Does it have any anime/manga characters besides Kurama from YYH?

A: Good question! Nope, Kurama is the only YYH character involved!
***EDIT*** Shishou informed me she ment if there were any other characters that were from anime/manga ^^; silly me misread the question. So the correct answer is YES! There are! ***End EDIT***

Q:Shishou: Does it have anything to do with your clones?

A: Zero clones in this project!

Q:DarkKnightTouya: Is it a club?

A: As of yet, I’m not intending it to be one…

Q:DarkKnightTouya: Is it a red haired bishie club?

A: o.O You are so warm, it’s burning your icicles away! Red-haired bishies are involved, but a select few for certain reasons ^^;

Q:DarkKnightTouya: Did you make a layout?

A: ^^; hmmm…maybe in the future I will…

Q:DarkKnightTouya: Is anything gonna be exploding?

A: Not that I can think of off-hand…but I’m sure something is bound too…

Q:Night shade2: Does it have any thing to do with a cactus?

A: No, but I’m sure we can fit one in ^.~

Q:Night shade2: Does it have any thing to do with your site on here?

A: Yes, in the fact that it is anime-related, and this is the only place I’m posting it, but that’s about it.

Ok! There you have it! Feel free to make any last minute guesses before following this LINK to see the wonder I created! You can check that image out first, then see THIS ONE for more fun ^^ I also shrunk them down to greetings and put them under crossover (which I suppose is not one of the more popular hubs on TheO) so you can see them there too!

   SECRET PROJECT! & 20 Questions
I'm making a quick post since it's been over a week since my last update. If I hear back from my editors this weekend then next week I'll give you episode 4 for YYH Beyond! ^_^ Can you beleive it? EPISODE 4!!! -_-;;; The thing is I have over 4 sagas to write!

So I received 8 (Well...7 really...) more Questions about the SeCrEt PrOjEcT and there were down to 14 left before, that leaves 7 more questions for you guys to ask before I reveal it unto you!


Q:Wing Moon's Seto: Is it an expanding of MyO?

A: Nope, nothing w/ MyO really.

Q:Wing Moon's Seto: If it's partly about YYH is it about it? Like the one you choose on.

A: I beleive I shall plead the 5th on this one ^^; Or say that it really isn't that much about YYH, I'm sure a later question will better answer your question Seto#1.

Q:Wing Moon's Yami Yugi: Is it about me? ^_^

A: Sorry Yami, as cute as you are, you didn't qualify for it.

Q:Wing Moon's Yami Yugi: Is for your screenshorts of YYH?

A: I used some of my screenshots for it, but otherwise no.

Q:Wing Moon: Is it a forum?

A: No.

Q:Wing Moon: Dose it have staff or members in it?

A: No ^^; sorry

Q:Shishou: Does it have Kurama in it?

A: Yes ^///^ as I've said before.

Q:Shishou: Is it a story?

A: Well...I had a story attached with the idea, but it turned out so soley MarySue-ish, that I decided not to write it down and get killed by the mobs a Mary Sue Hunters (not that I know of any that visit my site...but why write something that has already been written? --not that the Secret Project is a copy, it's original, it is just the plot associated with it is just another Mary Sue tale.)

   …announcements…Masquerade! Games! Friday Night Feast! and Story!
Refi: ^^; Ok the summary of the post is listed above in the title. Comments make me happy, so I hope the summary helps in remembering what to comment on ^^ You have brains, you have thoughts, you have opinions, I wanna hear them please ^^ Briefly first, I want to say that I got a job at the coolest place in town! Why? Cause the employer values honesty! Before I got turned down by being upfront w/ companies, but this time I put how much I wanted to make and that I understand that was more than the position offered and the offered wage was ok and the employer said he was glad I told him how much I think I’m worth! Previous experiences with response to that was “There’s no way we can pay you that much for this job!” and yeah, that’s the end of that story >.> But I guess that doesn’t really matter now ^^ Since I get to do something fun; even though it’s part-time and I’ll start out lower than my internship. At least I can spend the other part of my time writing. I’m going to create a Manga for Tokyopop’s Rising Stars Competition with Equus! True it would be easier if we were still at college together, but we’ll manage somehow. Now speaking of my wonderful friend…Her Masquerade party post should now be up through the weekend to solve the mysteries, so please check it out! She worked real hard on it!...and the banner too!

SECRET PROJECT in 20 Questions!

Refi: Ok, I will reveal my Secret Project after I have answered 20 Questions! I got three more from my last post so a total of 6 questions have been asked and I will reveal it after 14 more questions!
Q:Wing Moon: Is it for your fan fic about YHH?

A: Actually, it isn’t! Can you believe it?

Q:Wing Moon: Is it based around one of the YHH charaters?

A: One of the characters yes…based, not solely…

Q:DarkKnightTouya: uhh...dose it invole fried foods?

A: Not that I know of yet ^^;

Kurama Clone #2: This is all very well and exciting, but I believe many of our guest are hungry; especially after mentioning food in your title.

Refi: ^^; But of course, how can I expect them to listen to me on an empty stomach?

Hiei Clone #3: >.> How indeed…

Refi: Let me go grab a bite to eat and then I can expect them to listen to me…

Kyo Clone #4: o.O >o< You MORON! He’s talking about OUR stomachs! Not Yours!

Refi: ^^; I was just kidding Kyo. We can all go to the banquet hall to see what Kyo has prepared for us this evening.

Kyo Clone #4: O.o Why me?!

Refi: ‘Cause it’s your week to prepare the feast!

Kyo Clone #4: >o< YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT!

Kurama Clone #2: She put assignments on the fridge so you can see when it’s your turn.

Kyo Clone #4: WELL HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW!? THERE’S LIKE A BILLION FRIDGED IN THE KITCHEN!

Hiei Clone #3: >.> …fool cat…

Kyo Clone #4: DON’T START W/ ME SHRIMP!

Yukina Clone #3: So does that mean we are not having dinner tonight?

Kyo Clone #4: WE’LL ORDER OUT! *storms off to the phone kicking the door open on his way out*

Kurama Clone #2: Kyo. Please try not to smash ALL the doors on your way.

Hatori Clone #6: *turns around*…Strange…I thought I heard Shigure here.

Refi: ^^; Now why would that be? lol Well, I hope Kyo realizes that that’s coming out of his pocket…still I should help out a little to reward him for choosing the better alternative…

Yami Yugi Clone #7: And what alternative are you referring too?

Refi: ^^; Oh just the smart-mouth response of saying we’re having “the Shrimp” for dinner.

Hiei Clone #3: >.> …He touches me, he dies!

Refi: Very well…oh wait, what are you doing here?

Hiei Clone #3: >.> You tell me, you’re the one that brought me here.

Refi: NONONO! You’re supposed to be at Equus’s right now! *grabs him by the collar and boots him out the door* NOW GET!

Kurama Clone #2: I do believe that was an unwise decision.

Refi: Why? He needs to be over to participate in the mystery!

Kurama Clone #2: But he may re-obtain his katana outside of your castle boundaries.

Refi: hm…no he won’t! ^^ The wonder’s of the internet I kicked him out over the link that goes straight to her site! I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Kurama Clone #2: -_- It’s Equus I’m worried about.

Refi: Now lets go on to the story! PLEASE PEOPLES give me FEEDBACK!!! *big puppy dog eyes* Kyo’s buying takeout for whom-ever gives good feedback! {btw I want to give a big THANK-YOU to Wing Moon for her long and wonderful comments! And as much as I love Yukina and esp. Yukina with Kuwabara, I don’t believe I can fit her into the first saga too much ToT But I will try to do so! Thank you for pointing her out! AND WOW Cia-Chan you are so honest! Will you be my editor too? My mechanics may be weak and those silly mistakes must be corrected if I'm ever to amount to anything!}

Hatori Clone #6: The story-telling room is down the hall and to the right. Ignore Kyo#4 if he bites your head off as you pass, he hasn’t learned how to properly handle stress yet.

YYH Beyond: Episode 3 {second half}: A PAST TO SHAPE THE FUTURE
{Previously: Finally the YYH gang learned the identity of the Mud Monster, Yokira, the sister of Yoko Kurama. She made a deal with him for him to return to demon world but that means leaving his family.}

[The sun is starting to set on the city. Focus on a building, zooming towards a particular window, then inside an apartment. The front door opens. Zoomed shot on Kurama, excluding his head, as he enters and quietly shuts the door behind him. Without turning on lights, he walks into the next room and pulls out a chair at the desk. Angled shot on the desktop organized with books, photos, small boxes, and miscellaneous notes while Kurama sits down. His hand reaches across the desk and picks up a picture frame. In it is his wedding picture taken outside with him in a suit holding Midori, who has pink hair, teal eyes, and wearing a long-sleeved, white gown.] ***FLASHBACK OF GENKAI’S DEATH*** [Genkai is lying on the floor at the shrine, Kurama sits by her. Midori enters.] Midori: Grandma? [runs to Genkai’s side, in tears] Grandma! Please, you can’t die now! [uses healing powers on Genkai] Genkai: Shut up, and don’t waste your energy! I’m old and bound to kick the bucket sooner or later. Midori: But…but I’ll be all alone. Genkai: [turns] Kurama. I don’t believe you have met my grandniece Midori yet. Kurama: Oh, no I haven’t. I’m pleased to meet you. Midori: [distracted] Um…hi. Genkai: [turns back] Midori, do you remember when you were five, how your parents died? Midori: How could I forget? A demon murdered them in front of my very eyes! Genkai: Describe for Kurama what the demon looked like. Midori: [closes eyes] He was pale, like a vampire, with long slick black hair and a trench coat to match. He also wore a white mask over his mouth. He barely touched my parents and they blew up [shudders]…right there in front of me. Kurama: [whisper] Karasu… Genkai: Correct. Midori: [opens eyes and looks up at Kurama] Why, do you know where I can find him so I can take my revenge? Kurama: [averts eyes] He is dead. Kurama Voiceover: [close-up on Kurama’s solemn expression] Fifteen years ago, Karasu was sent to kill everyone that Genkai cared about, [close-up on Midori’s amazed face] except her grandniece Midori. [close-up on Genkai smiling] Toguro’s reasoning for this action remains unclear. [scene shifts to a moonlit night over the pond in the shrine] This left distaste for demons in her mind, but it eased her to know of my actions when I myself battled Karasu. [Midori is sitting, staring at the water] She had inherited some spiritual powers, but not sufficient enough to become a demon-slayer like she desired. [Kurama walks over and stands by her.] Midori: [sad anger] I am so useless! Kurama: Why do you say that? Midori: I couldn’t save my parents then, and I couldn’t save Grandma now. Kurama: [pauses] I know it is painful…to see someone slip away beyond your control. Believe me I know. Midori: [doubtful] How could you? [Image of Kuronue behind Kurama as he remembers] Kurama: [somber] I too have helplessly watched those I care for die. Kurama Voiceover: In a way, we had faced similar trials. I found that not only I could help her through this hard time, but seeing the same situation from the outside; I too was helped and comforted. [In the kitchen at the shrine, Yukina and Midori are preparing food.] Yukina: I’ll run and get some more water from the well. [passes Kurama on her way out] Kurama: Is there anything I can do to help in here? Midori: [while focused on adding and mixing ingredients] If you can cut the funeral potatoes, thank you. [Kurama picks up a knife and a potato and starts carving it.] Kurama Voiceover: I admit something about her intrigued me…I wanted to know more about her and what kind of person she was. [glances at Midori] Caring, Selfless, and a hard worker. Kurama: [“accidentally” cuts hand then drops the knife and potato] Ow! Midori: Oh no, you cut yourself! Here, let me see… [grabs his cut hand and holds it with both of hers as she heals it] …you have to be careful how you cut these. Kurama: [nervous chuckle] After all the weapons I’ve handled, imagine cutting myself on a kitchen knife… Kuwabara’s voice: Yukina!!! [Kuwabara rushes in and Kurama quickly pulls his hand back. Kurama and Midori turn away from each other.] Kuwabara: Look what I got! [holds up a hand picked bouquet wrapped with ribbon and a paper with Genkai’s face attached]…Hey, where’d she go? Midori: [keeping back towards Kuwabara] To get water, she’ll be back soon. Kuwabara: Oh, I better go help her! [notices knife on floor with specks of blood]…wait [looks up at Kurama]…Kurama? Are you blushing??? Kurama: [surprised at self] What? Kuwabara: Ah…Don’t be ashamed! I cut myself lots of times, Midori and especially Yukina are really good at making the owies all better! Speaking of which, I better go find Yukina! [By the pond at night, Kurama and Midori are talking to one another.] Kurama Voiceover: There is no better way to love someone than to serve them. It was against my better judgment, but I let these feelings grow as I helped her. Midori: Thank you for your support through this first year, I really appreciate it. Kurama: Don’t mention it, you have helped me too. Midori: [averts eyes, blushing] Don’t be silly, I could never repay your kindness. Kurama Voiceover: She was happier when I was around, [close up on Kurama smiling] and so was I around her. The more I learned about her, [Midori smiles but a tear trickles out of her eye] the more I strived to be a better person. [Kurama lifts his hand to brush it off with his finger and steps in closer to Midori] Perhaps it was selfish of me [they hug]…but I wanted to remain in that bliss… ***END FLASHBACK*** [Kurama continues to stare at the wedding photo.] Kurama Voiceover: …and now I must leave her and my unborn child… [He moves his hand slightly so the glass reflects his face, revealing the tears his eyes are holding back. He sets the photo back and folds his arms on the desk and lays his head on top. Zoom out to see back of Kurama and his hair, sitting at the desk. Sound of the front door opening and closing is heard.] Midori’s Voice: Suichi dear, are you home yet? [lights turn on] There you are…Suichi? [footsteps approach Kurama and places hand on Kurama’s shoulder] Is…is everything all right? “Hey there! This is Kuwabara speaking, seeing as I’m the only one with time to make this report. Kurama heads off to Demon World for a reunion with his creepy demon siblings, and things don’t look to bright! Meanwhile, who should be stalking Yusuke but…what? That little short-pint? Suppose those two will be taking care of business in Demon World as well. Sure I may be left out, but that gives me more time to spend with my darling, Yukina! Heehee, *ahem* But back to the point, Yoko’s family is more than what it seems and there’s even more trouble to be had; and you can only find all this out by tuning into the next episode of YuYu Hakusho Beyond!”

   Happy S.A.D.!
Yes yes, another year w/o any bf’s >.> How does time go so fast. Oh well, Happy Single Awareness Day everybody! I know I used this card last year, but I’m using it again to give out to all of you again ^^ Sorry, I’ve been a bit busy and didn’t have time to make a new one.

With that being said, I have e-cards for V-day that I submitted last year in case there’s anyone on your e-mailing list you forgot ^_~ And the card you see above is similar to my very most popular greeting! I suppose it’s because there aren’t enough cards to choose from for those of us who can’t find anyone to return the love we share.

Then whether you are single or not, I am proud to announce that this week, Equus will post her masqurade! She worked real hard on this so be sure to check it out!


Now finally, I tell you about my SECRET PROJECT in 20 Questions! …well, it’s more like 3 questions that I received ^^

Q:Wing Moon: Is it an expanding of Clone Amine?

A: Nope

Q:Wing Moon: Is it something to do with YYH?

A: …partly ^^

Q:Equus: Does it have to do with certain people wearing rosy hues? ^.^

A: ^///^ TeeHeeHee…

Q:Shishou: Does the project invole YYH?

A: Again…I say partly ^_~ ^^;;; heehee

Well that’s all for now. I will hold off revealing what my Secret Project is for now so you all may ask more questions that I will answer next time! Also for my next post, I will put up the rest of YYH Beyond, Episode 3! If any of you missed the first half, it is still up for you to go back to and read!

p.s. Did you like the summary I put in my previous post of it since it was so long? Or did it seem intimidating or scary?

   *SQUEAL* (and I apologize for the length…but I have been gone forever and have much to catch up on yes?)
Refi: HELLO ONE AND ALL! I AM BACK FROM MY TRIP SAFE AND SOUND! And by popular request, tonight I will celebrate by the first half of episode 3 for YYH Beyond! Just a few funny and fun things to share before I do however. *passes out pizza* Here, lets eat in the banquet hall whilst I discuss them! NUMBER 1: Okedays, so up on vacation for my friend’s wedding (among other things to do in the town I attended college in) I got to be with my possie. Now the bond between my possie originated by watching DBZ, so these are some good anime friends I got to hang with (Equus is one of them, but unfortunately she could not make it out to join us ToT ) and I brought my Kurama plushie, the one we stayed with has a Sesshomaru plushie, and the other friend that came out brought her Yuki plushie and found (out in the middle of nowhere too I might add) a Miroku plushie and bought him so now she has all the Inuyasha ones. So anyways, the girl we were staying with was the Maid of Honor, she and the brides maids held a rose each in the reception line. Later at her apartment, I had my plushie Kurama pick up her rose (plastic) and “ROSE WHIP” her Sesshy plushie! lol Oh yeah, MY PLUSHIE CAN BEAT UP YOUR PLUSHIE!!! I wanted to get a clip of it on digital camera, but we didn’t get around to it ToT But, I did set up Kurama and Sesshy w/ the rose and took a pic, so after my film is developed, maybe I can scan the scene so I can post if for you (Oh, and my friend’s comeback was Sesshy using his acid claws on Kurama ToT poor poor Kurama-sama!) NUMBER 2: Ok so Tokyopop has a free quarterly magazine of Manga that comes out, and I signed up for it. The first couple were if-y…but this OH BUT THIS ONE! on the cover (back cover which would be front in Japanese…the magazine has 2 fronts actually) was none other than TOHRU HONDA!!! And inside was none other than…the first chapter out of VOLUME 13! Which by the way isn’t coming out until April! ^________^ I felt so privileged to be among the first to read it! YIPPIE! No spoilers but, it’s Yuki’s Parent-Teacher conference w/ his mom and then who should show up but someone who I am not to fond of…but I was actually glad did show up! And there was text messaging…not a big part, but funny. btw, this last week I was able to read all the FB manga since my friend owns them…and if anyone can answer please PM me, but I recall online about volume 9 and this last summer, there was talk about a spoiler concerning Akito (which I know what it is, but won’t say for those who know not yet) but I read nothing in all the mangas I read so where was it that we find that out? And Finally, NUMBER 3 I have a special project that so far only Equus and Inuyasha311 (who btw is some-what quiting MyO and I will miss on here very much, but at least I’ll still see her on her forum) *cough*cough*hint*hint*nudge*nugde*lol*^_~* have really heard about, but I probably am boring you so I will save it for another day, and let you read on to YYH Beyond, since so many of you were interested in that (which I thank you all so greatly for supporting me since I want to aspire to be a writer and change the world through my works). Still, I feel adventurous and invite you to ask questions about the project which I will answer next post! RULES: No asking directly what it is! I have something like “20 questions” in mind so if you can phrase it as a yes/no question, then please keep it that way. All right, now without further ado, I boot you off to the story-telling room so you can read the story!!! ^___________^

p.s. Thank you TheMouse for the feedback you sent me on this portion oh-so-long-ago!(I didn’t post this part sooner since I was stuck on the previous fight scene ^///^) I took every comment into consideration!

YYH Beyond: Episode 3 {first half}: A PAST TO SHAPE THE FUTURE
{Previously: What was meant to be a friendly get together was cut short as earthquakes emerged from the nearby forest. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, and Hiei were quick to get to the bottom of the situation, a demon disguised as a young woman. In attempt to stop her, Yusuke has already been knocked out for the count and Kurama took his skills to par with her. Able to coax her out of her mud armor the gang learns that she really is a female fox-demon that apparently Kurama already is familiar with. Who is she really and why has she been causing terror in the Human Realm? Find out today on YuYu Hakusho Beyond! REMINDER: Yusuke is 21, he and Keiko are married and have a son, Mukuro won the previous (the second one) tournament and is currently ruling Demon World}

[Kurama and Yokira lunge at each other. Yusuke and Kuwabara uncover their faces then look on in shock. Kurama and Yokira are wrestling on the ground, teeth in neck and nails in back.] Yusuke: That’s an interesting way to fight. Kuwabara: Yeah, especially for Kurama. Hiei: Are you fools blind? How do you expect spirit foxes to greet each other? Yusuke: Greet? [looks closely at Yokira] Say, she does have ears and a tail like Kurama in his Yoko form. [While Yokira is on top of Kurama, they loosen their grip and Yokira props herself up, enabling them to get a good look at each other.] Yokira: You’ve been quite rude never sending word. Kurama: You expected me to write or something? Yokira: I suppose not. [flipping Kurama’s hair away] My, my, look what’s become of you! Kurama: You haven’t changed a bit. Don’t tell me you have caused so much commotion here in the human world just searching for me. Yokira: We thought you were dead! But after the Dark Tournament rumors came back that Yoko had returned. Kurama: You’ve become slow; the Dark Tournament was several years ago. Yusuke: Hey! Excuse me for interrupting this intimate moment, but do you mind explaining to the rest of us what the world is going on! Kurama: Oh I’m sorry; [nudges Yokira off and sits up facing Yusuke] this is my sister, Yokira. Yusuke/Kuwabara: SISTER?!?!? Hiei: Obviously. Does that surprise you? Yusuke: Well yeah, I only ever hear him expressing care over his human mother; he never mentioned any demon relatives before. Kurama: I never had a need to, I’m sorry. Kuwabara: So do you have any other relatives we should know about? Kurama: Two more sisters and two brothers, we were a liter of six. We all specialize over a different element. Yokira’s is over “Earth,” and if you couldn’t guess by now, mine is over plants or “Flora” as it were. Yokira: Yeah, the others have “Fauna” which is animals, “Water,” “Fire,” and “Air,” and out of all of us, [reaches over, giving noogies to Kurama’s head] Little Yoko here is the runt of the litter! [Yusuke and Kuwabara try to suppress chuckles but fail and collapse laughing.] Kurama: [hiding embarrassment] And might I add, Yokira, that you were the one always throwing tantrums? [Yokira backs off. Yusuke and Kuwabara stop laughing, stare at Yokira and burst out in hysterical laughter again.] Yusuke: HAHAHA You mean our “Big Bad Wolf” mud monster still throws tantrums! Kuwabara: Kicking and hitting the ground like a little baby? [smirk] HAHAHA! Kurama: True, she acts just like a toddler sometimes, which is how she got so good at causing earthquakes. Yokira: Grrr [clenches fist and vein pops out of forehead] Don’t make me tell them about some of the fits you used to throw! Hiei: Enough nonsense! Now that everything is clear, [pointing to Yokira] you made a promise. Yokira: [stands up, pretending innocently] I did? Now let me think… Kurama: [also rises and brushes self off] You must go back to Demon World. Yokira: What? Just when I am reunited with my long lost brother? [throws arms over Kurama’s shoulders and squeezes him against herself] For shame! Hiei: Drop the act; those were you’re pathetic terms. Yokira: [continuing to hold Kurama to her with one arm while using the other arm to gesture] Now why would I say something like that? NoNo, don’t answer! I’m in no mood to argue, I will go ahead with your silly deal, but I’m taking my brother with me! [Hiei looks bamboozled from Yokira’s insanity while she starts to drag Kurama away with her.] Kurama: [pushing himself away from her grasp] Yokira! It’s not as easy as all that. Yokira: Come again? You mean after fifteen hundred years you don’t have the decency to come say hello to your siblings? Kuwabara: Woah! FIFTEEN HUNDRED YEARS? How old are you Kurama? Yokira: tsktsk, Weren’t you listening to you’re [pointing to Yusuke] friend here? It’s rude to ask a woman’s age! Kurama: Yokira, please. Yokira: Well since he wants to know how old you are, and you and I being the same age, he is indirectly asking my age! Yusuke: [can’t stop laughing] Wow, you’re quite the joker when you aren’t wreaking havoc! I thought you were referring to just Kurama! hahaha, woman’s age… Yokira: [raises eyebrow] Well I’m so glad I have you’re approval. Now if you don’t mind, you all want me back in Demon world and I need to speak with my brother first. [Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei are taken aback, but stay and listen as Yokira turns to Kurama and they speak] Kurama: [frowns and shakes head] I will not return to Demon World with you. Yokira: You must. Why in heaven’s name not? Kurama: I have changed; I am not the demon I once was. Neither you, the others, nor I would find this reunion enjoyable. Yokira: [frowns] Then at least come and show us for our selves! Kurama: There is no point for me to. Plus I have many duties here that prevent me from leaving. Yokira: [examining nails] Gee, I’d hate to do this…but earlier I heard mention of a human mother you care for? [glances at Kurama’s widened eyes] Her safety should be worth some good old family time…just come visit us for a month that’s all we’re asking you. Kurama: [looks stern] You won’t be able to put up with me that long! By the end of the first week you will all be sick of me. Yokira: A week it is then, but if we are not sick of you after that, you must stay a whole month! Kurama: Then I shall ask that none of you will bother me again after this trial. Yokira: I cannot make such a promise for the whole pack, you will have to take it up with them…but you have my word on your condition. [extends hand] I’d give anything to get my brother back, even if it means to loose you forever. Kurama: [shakes Yokira’s hand] Truly I’m touched, but I assure you that I am no longer the brother you once knew. Please give me a week to make arrangements for me to go. Yokira: Fair enough…I have some arrangements to make of my own, you were correct in noting the time elapsed since the Dark Tournament, I have had to survive here in the Human World for a while as I searched for you. Indeed, it will feel good to cut those ties I have acquired. [shifts back into human form that she first appeared as] So in exactly one week, meet me here at this spot. [walks away from the clearing] And don’t try anything funny, remember, [looks back over shoulder towards Kurama] I’ll be watching you! [winks at Kurama then leaves] Yusuke: [pauses] That was weird. Hey Kurama, if your siblings are all like her, a month with them can’t be that bad… [stops when he looks at Kurama and sees the saddened look in his eyes] …whoa, are you alright? Kurama: [walks away] I must depart now. I’m glad we could meet together one last time. [leaves] Yusuke: [shocked] Did I miss something? Kuwabara: You and me both! Hiei: You fools, like always, fail to grasp the situation. She has been searching for a while, but that is only a fraction of the time compared to before Yoko disappeared in which they could have sought him out. Their interest in him is not because he is their brother; it is his abilities in which they have use for. Why else do you think that they only need him with them for a month? They are untrustworthy, even if they keep their promises, they will find a loophole. Kurama realizes this…they can’t to bother the dead. Kuwabara: WHAT?!?!? Yusuke: [jumps up and shakes Hiei by the collar] You mean Kurama is walking into a death trap? Hiei: [calmly] He had no choice, wasn’t it you that let Yokira know of his weakness for his human mother? Yusuke: [lets go of Hiei in shock] Well we can’t just stand here! Hiei: Do what you want, Mukuro sent me to stop the disturbances. As much as I detest it, human safety is my only concern. I’ll keep an eye on them both. [jumps and disappears] “Refi-chan here to intercept, now does Yokira seem like a Mary Sue? Next time: We get a bit more acquainted w/ Kurama’s wife, Midori, the grand-niece of Genkai!”

Oh, and I promise if you can endure all my long post like this, it will make editing essays in high school a synch! Bear in mind that trials make us stronger; if we never had problems, we would never progress. Where would Goku be if there was no Vegetta, Freiza, Cell, or Buu to push him to his limit? I can tell ya it wouldn’t be Super Saiyan!
