Hey everyone, Kurono here! Thanks for all the reviews and support, and I'll start replying to everyone's messages afterwards. I am totally fine after my surgeries, and now that summer's started, I'll try to update more :D I will be gone for two months though, so I will try and write while I'm gone.
Unfortunately, this is not an update. This is a warning/message that everyone on Fanfiction should know!
Apparantly, the Fanfiction staff is planning to take down every single M-rated fanfiction out there (yaoi, yuri, lemons, songfics, violence, etc.) This will affect EVERYONE out there in the FF world!
On June 23rd, there's going to be an official Black Out amongst us all. We will not log on, read, review, or even glance at the website. This goes for anonymous readers/reviewers as well. Please participate! Let's show the staff that we, as writers, mean BUSINESS. Spread the word to your readers, other people on FF, deviantART, any social networking system!
Anyways, I'm sorry for not updating. Here's a sneak peek of the next chapter XP
"O-ouch..." Usopp moaned, his arms and tail twitching. "I-I think my spine's broken, maybe a leg or two.." The little lizard-like dragon struggled to stand and stared at the mess around him. Lifting the samurai helmet off and tossing it aside, he snickered to himself.
"I can't believe it! I fooled those ghosts, and now I Well, no surprise, I am Usopp, the Amazing Trickster. But that's just great! What am I supposed to do now? I'm screwed because Blueberry Head decided to be the brave one and go off to war..." Usopp sighed, rummaging through the debris and pulling out his slingshot, which had fallen astray when he was flattened by the helmet.
Chopper the cricket shook nervously as he hid behind the door, though he was hiding the wrong way, with his body showing while his head was hidden behind the door. He had been watching the entire ordeal from the strange dragon/lizard hybrid, and wondered what was going on.
"Uh, you know you're hiding the wrong way, right cricket?" Usopp stated, dusting off the slingshot and inspecting it for damage.
Chopper screamed, immediately switching position as he stared, wide-eyed.
"W-who are you?" The cricket questioned, peeking out slightly.
Usopp puffed his chest out proudly, with a prideful smirk on his face.
"I'm Usopp the Brave, Handsome Dragon of the Chase Family!"
"That's a lie! You don't look like a dragon! Are you sure you're not an eel or something?"
"AN EEL! That's like saying you look like a bumblebee!" Usopp said, insulted.
"Bastard! I'm a cricket!"
"Exactly!"
.~.~.~.
"Isn't the solution simple? Go get her!" Chopper chirped excitedly, jumping up and down.
"What do you mean, go GET her? What's the matter with you Chopper? I can't bring back Tashigi!" Usopp wailed.
"Why?" Chopper questioned, his large brown eyes wide.
"I now have Can't-Go-Get-Blueberry-Head Disease." Usopp flopped on a nearby rock, pretending to groan. Chopper rolled his eyes, poking the dragon.
"That's not a real disease though!" Chopper paused, pondering for a moment. "Hey, if you want your job as a guardian or something back, maybe you should go get Tashigi yourself! You can prove to the ancestors that you are fit to be one!" He suggested, grinning at his brilliant plan.
"No Chopper, that's a stupid idea..." Usopp said, thinking deeply.
"WAIT! That's it!" Usopp shouted, jumping on his feet and knocking Chopper aside. "I'll bring Tashigi back, and even make her win the war! Then I can prove to those oldies that I am fit to be a guardian! They'll want the Great Usopp the DRAGON to come back as an official guardian!"
"But I just said-" Chopper sighed, shaking his head.
"Just leave it all up to Usopp, the Amazing Warrior and Sharpshooter!"
"What? You're a warrior?" Chopper asked in disbelief, his eyes sparkling.
"Why, yes I am! Let me tell you the time I was cornered by two giants, and I beat them with just my trusty flames!"
The duo began to follow Tashigi's path to Yubashiri camp, with Usopp telling stories about his 'adventures,' and Chopper the one to believe them.
I know, not much. I'm horribly sorry. Anyways, FF has been super screwed up lately. If this keeps continuing, I may just stop this account altogether. :-/ I liked it better when there were no problems... Oh well.
Anyways, do tell me what you wish to see later on! Perhaps a filler chapter or two so that it doesn't stick exactly to the plotline.
I shall update soon!
