Confessions of a Flame Haze - Prologue
Author's note: Hooray for something new! I've been toying with the idea of writing a Shakugan no Shana fic for a while now, but since the series isn't finished yet, I've held off on it for a while. However, I had a great idea for a story, and before I knew it, I had the full story outline laid out on my desk. Confessions of a Flame Haze will be my first Shakugan no Shana fic and also my first one that deals with a darker, less happy storyline. I will not reveal anymore, but let's just say the ending is very bittersweet.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Shakugan no Shana or any other anime series I write on. It would be awesome if I did though.
It had been a few months since Shana had overpowered Yuji and, with the help of Margery, sealed the Snake of the Festival back into the Reiji Maigo. With the guiding force behind their motives taken out of play, the members of Bel Masque were thrown into disarray and the Denizen army scattered into the wind. The combatants of the winning side enjoyed a brief respite before returning to their normal lives. Without the commanding force of the Snake of the Festival, the Denizens would restart their consumption of the power of existence. The Flame Hazes separated, headed back to their respective cities and homes.
Now in full command of his body, Yuji began his training once more, wanting to be able to defend the city should a Denizen attack it. His skill with both sword and magic improved tremendously and he managed to defeat a Crimson Denizen without the help of Shana. As they continued to train together, the bond that had formed between them solidified even further. Kazumi had finally decided that Shana and Yuji were better off together, and had started a promising relationship with Ike. Everything was going along nicely, despite the occasional Denizen attacks.
But, not everything is as it seems. Somewhere, the forces of Bel Masque have devised a cunning plan in an attempt to free their lord and commanding officer from the seals of the Reiji Maigo. Yuji and Shana are unaware of the dangers looming their way, and an unforeseen tragedy is seen in the near future.
Will Shana and Yuji manage to overcome the new difficulties set forth by a strange new Denizen?

End notes: Yes, this will be a bittersweet fic with alternating elements of happiness and despair, but ending on a rather happy note. For now, the only thing I should warn you about is that one character will "die". I put die in parenthesis because, though yes, the character does SEEMINGLY die, perhaps outside forces will allow for a happy ending?

Please stay tuned for the spin-offs/sequel I'm currently writing:
Confessions of a Flame Haze: Extra - Letter from a Mystes (In progress) Estimated DOA: 3/?/2012
Summary: Yuji has died and left Shana with only a ring and a letter. What could possibly be in the letter? What is his final message to her?
Confessions of a Flame Haze: Extra - Conclusion: Hoshi ni Negau (In progress) Estimated DOA: 3/?/2012
Summary: (Translation: Conclusion: A Wish Upon a Star) My final conclusion to this story, will be told with underlying themes of heartbreak, but overall, it will definitely be a fluff, since that's what I do best :)
Confessions of a Flame Haze: Extra - Seven years of Yuji (Basic Idea, might turn into a one-shot)
Summary: This is just a basic idea right now, and I don't know whether or not I will even be writing this. However, I will NOT publish this one or even start on it until Conclusion: Reunion is finished, since it tells of a story from there. I can't spoil the story, so I can't reveal anything else.
Confessions of a Flame Haze: Extra - Seven years of Shana (Basic Idea, will most likely be thrown out)
Confessions of a Flame Haze: Extra - Alastor (Basic Idea, most likely will be thrown out)
Summary: Some people might be wondering. Where in the world did Alastor go during all of this? This will show the events of Confessions of a Flame Haze through the eyes of a Crimson Lord. Really doubt I'll do this though.
Please feel free to PM me if you have a suggestion on something you'd like me to write. I welcome all suggestions and feedback, since it really helps with my thinking process! Thanks!
Well, I hope that you will enjoy my first attempt at something that ISN'T completely fluff, so please R&R once I get my first chapter up! :)
Until Next Time!
