   Preview to .::Ballad of the Bamboo::.
This is a preview of my manga, only it's novel-like just because I'm too lazy to draw it for you. I'm thinking of having a "sneak peak" to show you what happens later in the series(but it's not really so much spoilers, and trust me it won't make sence at first). I have a LOT of pages done(scanned in n all that stuff ;D), and I'm at the point where I'm doing the colour pages, and fed up with my laziness to erase the pencil. The second page of the manga(there are extra pages) went from my least favorite page, to one of my favorites ^^ it came out nicer than I expected.

So, without further adu, here's your preview!!

-Preview 1-(total: 3)

"Hiroki!" Mioko cried out as he stood straight up, and looking the same as always. They where on the roof, and Mioko knew it was dangerous. Hiroki was either gonna drop, or do something worse. Nao-kun was by his side as usual. They understood each other in ways Mioko would probably never understand.

"Mioko?" At that moment, Hiroki's foot tripped over his own, and Mioko could see he was already falling. There where many thoughts running through her head at that time, "What if he's hurt? Or worse, gone.. I can't loose him! I can't loose Hiroki! He... He means too much to me!" but she didn't realise that she was running as she thought those things. She was running, and caught Hiroki's hand. Hiroki was stunned at her success in catching him, too.

"Mioko..."

"I... got... you... Hiroki..." Mioko assured him as she struggled to keep his grip, let alone keep him safe. Nao-kun was immediately at her side. Grabbing her hand for extra support, and trying to help her up. Mioko couldn't help but blush a little at the feeling as he helped her, but maybe it wasn't Nao-kun who was sending these feelings to her. Maybe it was someone else...

"He's slipping!" Mioko shouted as she realised Hiroki was loosing her grip. Nao-kun didn't stop this time.

"Mioko, pull him into a hug!" he said. She was shocked he'd say that.

"What?"

"You heard me, a hug! Do it!" she took a moment to obey, but pulled Hiroki into a hug. Hiroki's warm body felt nice against her. It was, in a way, her sanctuary. Little did she know, she was falling off the roof of the school with him.

-Preview 2-

The blood dripped from her neck. She could barely breathe, let alone see. All she saw was his face. He was disgusted, not at her, with himself. He was hurting her with that chain around his neck. The dark being pulled on him yet again, and he wailed. He wasn't him anymore. He was the monster. The monster she loved. The monster she took care of. The monster that held the key to her heart.

It was the end now, the end of this sad story. The end of her life. The end of the only thing that was ever true to her.

Or so she thought...

He turned to attack his master. The dark being. He assaulted him. There where cries from a girl. A girl who was by her side, murmuring painful words to her. She didn't know about their bond. She only knew the terrible things that had happened. She didn't know...

-Preview 3-

[narraration by SOMEONE]

I let him rest by my side. He made me feel good. Soft. Happy... Maybe, maybe that thing I always wanted, the feeling that they always told me about, maybe it was right here. I played with his hair, and somehow ended up feeling his face. I thought it'd end there, but it didn't. I want the world. I wanted everything. I wanted riches, happiness, glamour, but right now, all I want is right next to me. I somehow ended up resting my head on his, and falling asleep, while holding his hands.

"Can I... feel this way about you?" I asked aloud. Of course, he didn't answer. He was too buisy asleep in his perfection.

There was something true about this. Something that television could never show. Something that was always shunned by scandal, and things that made us disgusting. Something that was passionate, and true.

I think they call it love.

I closed my eyes to dream. I found something I wanted, and I was determined to get it, but then again. Who falls for a girl like me. A person with no personality. How could they? I was a shadow. I followed everyone around, but never got to walk where I wanted to walk. Being right here, though, I think, and I'm seriouse. I think I got to be me.

End of previews!!

The first one is very... hmmm... well when you read you'll understand more. The second is LOOOOOOOOOOOONG from being explained, but again, it doesn't seem to make sense, until WAAAAAAAAAYYY later. The last, well, I'd like to see if(and i preffer you try this after the first chapter is in) anyone can guess who's talking.

-Mioko

-Chi

-Hera

-or Kuroichigo(or kuro-chan ^^)

U can guess now, but it'll be easier if u read it... or maybe if you know the story like me XD

okay, that's the preview. The story is coming up, byesers!!
