These are reviews from The New Adventures of Black Cat. (Nothing to do with this story.)
trainsgirl13: I really enjoyed the ending and especially the interview! You should post more interviews they are hilarious! I'm glad I'm appreciated and I can't wait to discover what your new ideas are!
I just realised that I've been calling you trainsgirl113 this whole time! Is that how I've been writing it? Now, I realise that it's just trainsgirl13! 13! Not 113! Sorry! *bow*bow*
yukicole02: I'm so glade I stuck with this story until the end! I mean all the other Black cat stories I've read still haven't updated but this one has and daily! So I'd like to thank you and I would also want to say you're awsome! You should like write alot more stories like this more often! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
OMIGOSH! *RUNS TO BATHROOM* JAMES, MORE THAN ONE PERSON WAS READING MY STORY!
James: What?
Me(screaming through door): YUKICOLE WAS ACTUALLY READING THE WHOLE TIME!
James: WHAT?
Honestly, I am awesome, or "awsome." I'm glade, too. I should write alot more. (I'm sowwy. I have this weird thing where I have to point out errors.)
Here is one of the ideas I got while writing my previous story. I'd like to keep it as a oneshot. I actually did some work on my book last night! So, without further ado, here's some EvexOC. (Just don't tell James. He's killed me enough.) This is pretty much a spinoff of The New Adventures of Black Cat.
James: *elbows me in the face*
Shoujo
Dance with the Devil
It was all getting rather boring. Sven wanted to take it easy for a while. He needed to regain his composure after so much happening in so little time. Eve, on the other hand, wanted to do something—anything!
"Sven," she said, "can I go to the library?"
Sven glanced up from the television. "Didn't you just buy a huge stack?"
"I've finished them."
"Be back before dark."
Eve wandered out the front door and began the walk into town. She had grown rather fond of this walk. It was peaceful. She made it to the library, waved to the librarian as she always did, and began hunting.
"What do I feel like reading?" she thought. She passed a corner with brightly coloured posters. "I don't think I've ever been in this section before." She began scanning the shelves. It was all manga. She was more of a novel person, but it couldn't hurt to try something new. She pulled a volume out gently by the spine. The cover was a drawing of three young men with wild hair standing over a bloodied corpse. "No." She tried another one. Scandalously-dressed high school student. "No." An odd one caught her eye. It was a picture of a girl about Eve's age with long, pink hair. She wore a pretty, frilly dress with ribbons and bows. She held a weird staff, and some kind of bird creature sat on her shoulder. The girl had cat ears and a tail. "Magic Neko?" Eve shrugged and took the book to her usual spot. She sat down and started to read.
It didn't follow along like normal stories. The main character, Sakura, was ridiculously peppy and short-tempered. There was a love interest. Sakura hated him, but anyone could tell how it was going to end. The bird could talk and gave Sakura these powers to transform and fight off the evil spirits. It didn't make sense, but it was kind of fun.
Eve closed the book and sighed. Because of the pictures, it only took her about twenty minutes to read it. Yet, she had the urge to go and find volume two. She went back to the manga section to find a boy about her age, maybe just a little older, lying on the floor and reading the second book Eve had picked up. Eve didn't pay any attention to him and started looking for the next volume amongst the disorganised shelves.
"You don't look like a magic-girl reader," commented the boy on the floor. He wore a school uniform with black pants, a white shirt, and a red tie. His dark blonde hair spiked up and out in every way imaginable.
"And what does a magic-girl reader look like?"
"Bubbly and cute."
Eve frowned down at him. What on earth was he rambling about? Eve was cute! She was really cute! He was just some weirdo trying to get under her skin. She ignored him and kept looking.
"You're not bubbly."
Eve froze. What the heck? Was that a... flirt? Eve made sure he couldn't see up her dress and kept searching. The boy didn't say anything else. She found her book and went off to read it. She finished and went back. The boy was still there.
"You read fast. Is that a good one?"
"Yes."
"I don't mind the cat ears and stuff, but it's not worth the predictable storylines. I can get all the cat ears I want from hentai."
"Hentai?"
"Porn."
Eve's face went bright red. The boy smirked up at her. She had to stop talking to this guy. The conversations were only getting worse! She had to quickly find the next volume. Crap! Why was this place so darn disorganised?
The boy started whistling quietly to himself. Eve felt every sound drilling into her skull. She was intensely irritated by this time. She fought every urge to tell him to shut up. She shot him a glance and noticed the book on the bottom shelf right next to him. It had been crammed in with the shonens. He had probably put it there himself.
"Excuse me..." Eve mumbled.
"Yes?" The boy stretched a cocky smile.
"Could you hand me that book, please?"
"What, this one?"
"No, to the left. A little more. Yes, that one."
"You want this book?"
"Yes, I want the book."
The boy grabbed the book and handed it to Eve. She took it, but he didn't let go. "Say, 'nya.'" Eve's face turned red again. She tried to tug the book out of his hand, but he wasn't letting go. "Say it."
"N-no!"
"Then you won't get the book."
Eve felt her insides boil over. He was pissing her off more than anyone ever had. She just wanted to get out of there. "Nya!" she squeaked. The boy released the book with a smug face, and Eve stormed off. She checked out the book and went back to the hideout.
"You're back early," Sven observed. "Did anything hap-" Eve cut him off with a loud door-slamming as she disappeared into her room. "Pen?" Sven shook his head. It was probably best to leave her alone. "Ah! The rice is done!"
Sven and Eve ate silently that night, for the most part. Eve was still upset, and Sven looked like he had something on his mind.
"Eve," he said, "I don't think I can take on any jobs like this." Eve looked at where she knew Sven's wound was under his shirt. She had done that to him. She didn't mean to. Angel had been controlling her. She nodded. "We need a way to make money, though, so I've found a job as a cook in a little restaurant in town."
"I'll get a job, too."
"You don't need to do that." There was another moment of silence. "Do you remember when I tried to get you to go to school instead of coming on sweeper jobs?"
Eve froze. Not this again. "But I want to be a sweeper and help people," she insisted.
"I know, but I thought that since we won't be doing any sweeper work for a while, you could try school. If you don't like it, we can go back to the way things were once I've healed. I won't force you to stay, but I'd like you to just see what it's like."
Eve couldn't argue with that logic. Sven had obviously been planning how to say it so she couldn't have an excuse.
"It would be a huge favour to me."
Crap! "Okay, then," said Eve. "I'll do it for Sven."
"Good. I've already enrolled you." He knew she was going to say yes. Why was everyone being so annoying lately?
You're a teenager, Eve. Everyone's annoying when you're a teenager.
I had no idea where I was going with this. I didn't even have a title! (James read that last sentence as "I didn't even have bike!" I thought that was funny.)
Train: AGAIN!
Me: *SMACK*
But I figured it out when she was looking through the manga. She only started looking through manga because it's the first section I check out when I go to the library.
Yeah, Magic Neko is a payout on pretty much all bishoujos. I've seen Tokyo Mew Mew. I actually have a cat bell on a ribbon that I wear! I don't like them as much as Death Note and Fullmetal Alchemist and such, but they're ridiculously ridiculous. That is a good thing. My friend always raves about Sailor Moon, but I've never actually seen it.
...It's not a oneshot. I'll have to force myself not to spend all my time on it, though. Must... write... book! I'd tell you what it's about, but my greatest fear is plagiarism. Well, that and commitment.
Eve: Thanks for sharing.
If you feel like pointing out some typical things in a shoujo (or any manga or anime for that matter), tell me. I'd love to have more things to make fun of!
James: WHO'S THIS PUNK-A$$ STEALING MY GIRL!
Me: I haven't named him yet.
James: Good. Then no one will miss him. *writes "Thieving Punk-A$$" in his Death Note*
Hentai Otaku: I'm still alive!
James: HA! YOUR NAME IS HENTAI!
Hentai Otaku: FOR NOW!
Me: You are now named Seb. I won't say the last name, or James will kill you.
James: Yeah, but my Death Note is so special that it kill him anyway.
Eve: I feel objectified.
James: Seb! You made her feel objectified!
