So before we get to jump into the story, there's a few things I want to say...
There are some words I use in this book that come from Japan.
Words such as:
Taichou, Sou-Taichou, Fuku-Taichou: meaning; Captain, Captain-Commander, and Lieutenant.
Ohayou: good morning
Nani?: what?
Ariagato: thank you.
Fumetsu (no Hona no wa): Immortal (flame circle) Hona means flames and if you put them together, you say, 'no Hona no wa'. (However, for my purposes, I say it means 'The circle of immortal flames'. (easier in english))
Fenikkusu: Phoenix
Shinseina-en no enkai no hikari: 'Sacred flame of the circle of light'... it's a mouthful, so don't feel obligated to try to say it.
-sama, -dono, -hime, -san, -chan, -kun: all of these are honorifics/ titles that are added to someone's name. (It's easier if you look it up... ^~^')
Oi!: hey!
Hai: yes (or yes sir/ma'am)
Gomen nasai (gomen): I'm sorry (sorry)
Demo: but
Bokken: (actually this is an object found in japan) a practice wooden sword.
Occasionally I'll say their english counterpart, because it flows better for saying it.
Yeesh. That's a lot. Anyway; I do not own bleach, nor would ever claim to be a part of it's creation. I'm just a fan of it.
The only things I own; are the cover, which took me a few days to plan and draw out, and I own my character who I have flung into this world. Hehee, this is exciting.
I'll be drawing the characters and maybe some of the scenes that I enjoyed so check out my deviant art about that. (Starting with the cover of this book: Immortal Flames)
"There all done," I hummed to myself as I finished the last sentence to a great scene. I loved the feeling of completion and conclusion, especially when it came to a great scene. I rocked back in my black spinning chair and sipped on my water. My favorite music played on my black and white headphones and I quietly sung along. Life couldn't get better than this. I had food and water easily accessible and an amazing laptop with amazing writing programs that I had paid for out of my pocket. I finally reached the place I had been dreaming of.
I didn't have to interact with real humans, nor did I care to. I had a million interactions in my head every moment, mostly with characters I had made up, or characters from the latest movie/anime I had watched. My favorite was to choose a character that was cold and seemed distant, and try to talk with them. I got so good at it, that it was sometimes challenging because they would become quite real to me and they would be stubborn in their interactions with me, just like they did with everyone else in their life.
Not to mention I have a soft spot for the anime characters who have white/silver hair. Their silver hair intrigues me to the point that I can't stand it and I really want to be their friend. Lucky for me, they are mostly the cold and distant ones as well.
I thought back on the latest anime I had watched, one called Bleach. I grinned as I realized that I had probably over done it in the last few months since I also knew the storyline for the manga, having read it all, as well as watched most of the anime. I thought on the characters and rolled my eyes as I thought about Ichigo and his father. Then my expression softened as I thought on a certain white haired captain. I just couldn't ship him and Hinamori; nor Rangiku with him. It just seemed too easy and besides I wanted him to be my friend too.
Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself. I should introduce myself… I am called Starlana or Alana Star, but lately I go by Tala Tokugawa, and this is about my adventures in the world of bleach.
