New chapter! I know it took a while (Maybe?) but I finally got over some of my computer issues. Granted, I'm using my Itunes PC instead of my gaming pc on account of my hard drive failing, but I have a 480 GB SSD on order for a replacement. Granted, it doesn't have as much room as my 2TB hard drive, but it is my first SSD and I'm very excited to see the SSD experience for myself.
Now, I have a couple of reviews I'd like to address, a major thanks to FailtasticBelt and Flo643 for their reviews. In addition I'd like to thank all of you who favorites, followed, and read my story.
Flo643:
Don't worry, while these kinds of stories are out there, they are not all too common. To be honest, I felt the same way when I read my first male reincarnated into a girl fanfic. (Can't remember the name but I think it was a Warriors Fanfic if I remember correctly.)
To be honest I actually like Suguha as a character. As far as romance between Hanoashi and Kiurito goes however, I kinda wanted to avoid outright replacing Suguha step by step, and plus given that Hanoashi is a not only an OC but also somewhat of a Self insert (Not totally but fairly close), I didn't want her falling in love with the Hero of Aincrad so to speak. However, they will be close throughout the story, sometimes crossing the line just a wee.
As far as Kirito's love life goes, I may have a bit of a plan that does not involves Asuna...Well, Asuna X Haremto is a no-go, but I'm not saying anything more.
FailtasticBelt:
Given how Hanoashi was placed in a scenario where she went from 20 to age 6 in an instant, her mental and cognitive age would have actually shrunk, at least in so far as how she thinks and acts. True, she has lived a total of twenty four years and all the knowledge would have stayed with her excluding what she doesn't forget, her lifestyle as a six year old, her needing to learn the customs and language of the Japanese, plus the new female body would have a serious impact on her mentality.
As a result, her behavior and mentality would be closer to a fourteen year old at the time of adoption, and may actually shrink further a year or two before growing.
As for her being in a relationship, it would depend on perspective. Remember, no one in the story aside from herself would know she had at one time been a 20 year old guy, so unless she spoke up about it, they'd just think she's crazy. A reader would however know this however, in would find it a bit curious if nothing else. As for Hanoashi, I'll let her grapple with the question when it comes up.
Starting her as a guy was...just something I do. Sometimes...I didn't really do it in Blazing Flash and Panzerfaren Begins.
As for her Diabetes...I made a bit of a correction on that in the second chapter.
Again, I'd like to thank everybody who reviewed, favorite, followed, and read my fanfic! Disclaimor, Blazepanzer does not own Sword Art Online! Enjoy!
Hanoashi stumbled into her brother's room, sleep still covering her eyes. She couldn't help but chuckle at his sleeping pose, laying on one side with his head atop of his hands.
Lazy dork! If I tried that that my whole arm would fall asleep, she mused in mirth before poking Kazuto on the cheek. "Time to git up bro," she whispered.
In all honestly, as much as she loved spending time with her new brother, she didn't mind allowing him to sleep in. But unfortunately, today was their first day of school, although she was looking forward to it. Granted, she had gone to a school before, but that was over seven years ago.
Kazuto moaned a bit before struggling up. "My hand's asleep," he groaned softly.
"Well, wake it up, then! We've got to get to school in about an hour and fifty minutes," Hanoashi reminded him unsympathetically.
Kazuto yawned before rising up. "Better get in the shower then," he grumbled.
"Right, right," Hanoashi mumbled, still a bit groggy. She walked out of his room and into the bathroom, before entering the shower.
The cold water sent a jolt through her, washing away the last of her sleep before she turned up the heat and began to soap down. As she began to wash, she took note on how her breasts where starting to grow.
Maus...I hope they don't get too big, she fretted. Granted, I'd hate to be flat chested now, but...I always imagined big breast where more of a haste then they where worth.
Sighing, she began working on her hair, working quickly and diligently as to avoid taking up much time. It usually took her about twenty minutes to shower and then ten minutes to set her hair, although it could take up to forty-five minutes on occasion.
She quickly changed into her uniform, which was slightly different from most school uniforms she had seen. While most went with a sailor type uniform, the girl's uniform form Kazuto's school used a sleeveless brown polo with brown slacks and leather shoes.
Kazuto's uniform consisted of a mid-sleeve polo along with a pair of slacks and leather shoes. His uniform was also black and red in color.
Waling into her bother's room, Hanoashi was certain that she felt a red tick appear on her face as she spotted her bother sleeping again. Letting out a small sigh, she walked up to the end of his bed, and proceeded to flip the mattress over.
Kazuto landed in the floor un-spectacularly, rubbing his head as he rose up. "Okay okay, I'm up Blaze."
Hanoashi let out a small Humph and pointed toward the door. "Time to get dressed, dearest brother," she growled, no longer in the mood for joking.
"I'm guessing you are eager to get off to school, huh?" Kazuto asked.
Her anger quelled into sadness. "Kazuto," she began. "I've...never gone to a school before, and at the orphanage...we all had private tutors. Of course I'm going to be excited" Sighing, she gazed at him. "I...I'm also a bit apprehensive too."
He looked at her in sympathy. "It's not all that bad," he admitted. Surprise filled his face when Hanoashi laughed.
"You weren't there when I first came to the orphanage," she laughed. "Back then, I knew nothing about the Japanese language, and I was so nervous, so afraid of offending somebody. I didn't even know Japanese taboos or anything, really."
Kazuto's eyes opened wide. "You mean?"
Hanoashi let out a small sigh. "Kazuto...I...I don't even know who my parents where, or even what my actual name was. I was just found outside...lost and alone."
"I...I had no idea," Kazuto stammered. "Would you like me to walk you to class?" he offered.
Shaking her head, she let out a quiet smile. "That's a generous offer...but I'll be fine with you walking me to school and back, since I really don't know the town well." Gazing at the clock briefly, she turned back to her brother. "Now, you need to shower and get dressed," she added.
Kazuto dropped her off at the office where she introduced herself before receiving her class pass. Soon she found herself on her way to her class.
Or, she would until she found herself flat on the ground. Opening her eyes she saw a Japanese girl looking at her, her eyes brimming with anger.
"You outsiders don't belong here," Said girl shouted, before kicking her in the stomach.
Great...I...I think can feel some my breakfast rising up, Hanoashi thought in dread. Glancing up at the girl pleadingly, she could fell the words of "please don't" escape her mouth.
Her eyes closed instinctively as she saw another kick coming, but she never felt the opposing force. Opening her eyes she noticed two similar girls standing side by side, the main difference being that one had black hair and the other had brown, longer hair.
"Well well, if it isn't Shino and Aacob, the murderers."
Wait...Shino...Aacob? Then that means... I might have been drawn into that one anime! Why haven't I noticed this before! Although the detail's where hazy, she remembered watching an anime that Shino had starred in. Unfortunately her memory was exceedingly vague to the point she had forgotten the gist of the show, she now remembered that her brother had been a part of it as well.
"We had to do something, that bastard was about to shoot our mothers!"
I...I can't tell the two apart. Even though Aacob was one of my OC's, she thought, then realized that one of then had distinctively brown hair. Oh...that must be Aacob then.
"What's going on here? Who did this to her?!"
Hanoashi gave a sigh of relief as a teacher walked.
"Mam, I caught Shino and Aacob..." the bully began, but paused when Hanoashi rose up quickly.
"Shino and Aacob stooped this woman," She growled, pointing at the bully," from kicking me a second time." Suddenly, she felt herself dropping to the floor in exhaustion.
Thankfully the teacher had caught her before she completely fell to the ground. Turning, she glanced at Shino and Aacob. "You two, take her to the infirmary. Tamika, you're coming with me to the office," she barked.
Aacob and Shino help her up and allowed her to lean on them as they half carried, half walked her to the infirmary. "Thanks," She whispered tiredly.
"No problem," Shino smiled. "Would you like to be our friend...um..."
"Hanoashi...My name is Hanoashi Kirygyra," she whispered, closing her green eyes for a brief moment before smiling. "I'd love to be friends."
"I thought Kazuto lost his sister," Aacob questioned.
"Hi...his mother adopted me," She admitted, suddenly embarrassed.
"Oh,"Aacob mummered quietly.
"By the way, my name is Shino Asada, and this is my aggressive older sister, Aacob Asada," Shino introduced.
"Hey! I'm not that aggressive!" Aacob cried indignantly.
"It's nice to meet you, Aacob, Shino," Hanoashi smiled. "I kinda thought you might be sisters, considering you both look alike," she added, hoping to avoid an argument.If Aacob is anything like my OC, then she can get really...fussy, with little to no provocation.
"I'm guessing you're Irish," Aacob smirked teasingly.
"Aacob!" Shino scolded.
"Although she doesn't seem to have an accent," Aacob added, ignoring Shino.
"Aacob..." Shino called again, this time more sternly.
"She's not wrong," Hanoashi laughed. "I was about six years old when I arrived at the orphanage, and even then I didn't have the accent." she added.
"You where put up for adoption when you where six?" Shino gasped.
Hanoashi sighed. "No...I was found when I was six and lived there until about a week ago," She admitted sadly.
"That must have been rough," Shino sympathized.
"By the way, who was that girl?" Hanoashi asked, curious.
"Oh her? That's Tamika," Shino growled.
"Xenophobic slut more like it," Aacob grunted.
"Aacob, what's gotten into you today?" Shino gasped.
Hanoashi couldn't help but observe in amusement. I'm kinda glad those two are sisters, Aacob seems to have helped Shino get over the bank incident while Shino seems to try and curb Aacob's more...aggressive side.
"What, you know it's true!" Aacob defended herself.
"You know better than to use that word!" Shino hissed.
"What...Xenophobic?" Aacob asked innocently.
Well, she tries to curb her more aggressive side. Sadly there isn't much else you can do to quell Aacob, Hanoashi sighed inwardly.
"Did Timika do this to you?" Hanoashi glanced at the girl whom asked the question, noticing how she had really dark skin, albeit her facial features where unusually Japanese.
"Thymella," Shino acknowledged polity.
"Yeah, your scumbag of a girlfriend nearly killed her," Aacob growled.
"I...I"m so sorry!" Thymelly gasped, bowing apologetically.
"Aacob," Shino wined, her face beetling red with a mix of anger and embarrassment.
"It's not your fault...er...Thymella was it?," Hanoashi began slowly.What is up with all my old Oc's being here! Then again...I am technically one of those OC.
Thymella seemed to relax. "Actually...to be honest, I broke up with Tamika about four days ago," she admitted.
"Why...I thought I'd never she the day," Aacob praised, hugging Thymella rather suddenly, only to be pried off by Shino almost instantaneously while she still held Hanoashi up somehow.
"By the way, I didn't get your name," Thymella asked.
"Hanoashi Kirygyra," Hanoashi began feeling a bit better around Thymella.
"Wait...Kyrigyra...oh no," Thymella whispered.
"What's wrong with with the Kirygyra's?" Aacob asked, her voice simultaneously angry and curious at the same time.
"It's nothing like that," Thymella began. "It's just...well Tamika also attacked a guy by the name of Kazuto Kirygyra two years ago," she added nervously.
"You...you mean she attacked my brother as well!" Hanoashi screeched, before blushing in embarrassment at her outburst. "I'm sorry, that was uncalled for," she added apologetically.
"It's fine," Thymella mused. "I'd be pretty upset too if I found out the person who just attacked me had also attacked my older brother."
"Awe, you care deeply for your older brother already," Aacob cooed.
"Of course I do! I'd been waiting to be adopted for nearly four years and not only was I adopted, but I also have an awesome older brother as well," Hanoashi stammered.
"Please tell me this isn't one of them stories where the sister falls in love with her brother!" Aacob groaned.
"Aacob!" This time it came from all three of the other girls.
Hanoashi felt her cheeks light up with fervent heat. "I...you...I'd never fall in love with my brother like that!" she stammered.
"We should get her to the nurses station," Shino reminded them, leaving Thymella off with a series of friendly goodbyes.
They made it to the nurses station, Hanoashi letting out a small gasp as they sat her down on one of the beds.
"Thank you girls, you two may leave everything else to me," one of the nurses remarked, before she walked up to her. "You okay Miss Hanoashi?" she asked.
"Um...yeah...I guessed?" she replied.
"Guessed?" then nurse asked, dubious.
"Okay, maybe I'm not so okay," Hanoashi admitted.
"This is serious young miss," the nurse sighed. "Anyways, my name is Nurse Ryotyro, though you can call me Nurse Rikona if you'd prefer."
Rikona! Hanoashi thought haply, but then shook herself out of her euphoria.Something isn't right about this though, she realized, but shrugged. "I...I think my left foot hurts," she stammered.
"Really? You think or you know?"
I swore you where more sympathetic! Hanoashi grumbled inwardly.
"Well, let's take your shoes off then," Rikona ordered.
Doing so quietly, trying to avoid the pain, Hanoashi took off her foot and then her ankle socks, revealing the bright red toe polish painted on her toes.
"Hm...That color does suit you," Rikona mumbled, before gently toughing her food, nearly causing Hanoashi to flinch. "Hold still young lady, I'm trying to help you," Rikona growled.
"It tickles," Hanoashi muttered.
"Tough, now do I have to use the straight cuffs?" Rikona asked.
"You're joking, aren't you?" Hanoashi gasped, clearly not wanting to get shackled. "Please tell me you are!"
"If you can't keep your feet still, it'd help. Sadly, unlike the prison hospital I previously worked at, they don't allow that here," Rikona sighed.
"I...I'll cooperate," she gasped, not too sure if Rikona was trying to scare her or not. I thought the was suppose to my cousin, but it's like...I don't know, something is off. No, maybe she's just off.
"Okay then, let me know if it hurts," Rikona whispered, before returning to examining her foot.
Geez, I know Rikona was a bit of a pervert, but this is a bit different, she thought to herself.
"Your foot is sprained," Rikona reported.
"Will it keep me from attending class," Hanoashi asked.
"You really want to?" Rikona asked. She let out a small sigh when Hanoashi let out a fierce nod. "There's some crutches in the corner, take one with you, and bring it back when your foot heals," She allowed. "Take it home with you as well," she added.
"Th...thank you Rikona," Hanoashi bowed, before placing her sock and shoes back on and headed to class.
Arriving in the class, the first thing she noticed was how the class seemed to quiet down as she entered the room.
"Miss Kirigyra, I was under the impression you wouldn't be attending," Mr: Grant remarked, a bit of shock and respect mixed in with his voice.
"Nothing is stopping me on my first day of school, Sensei" Hanoashi replied determinedly.
"Well, don't keep us waiting, introduce yourself," Grant motioned.
Hanoashi took in a deep breath before making her way to the front of the class. She noticed right away that the students where gazing at her with undivided attention, and she felt both very almost as nervous as the day she was first introduced at the orphanage.
Then she noticed that Shino was among the faces gazing at her. A small nod of encouragement emerged from her, and Hanoashi smiled briefly in gratitude, drawing strength from her friend's small gesture.
"Hi...My...my name is Hanoashi Kirigyra," she began nervously, Almost calling herself Katoni instead of Kirigyra by mistake. "I'm new here and was recently adopted by the Kirigyra family, but I hope to have an interesting and fun year together," she finished, sounding a bit more confident.
"We're rooting for you Kirigyra," Shino cheered, one or more students joining in.
"Alright class, let's get back to reading the chapter," Grant reminded them before giving Hanoashi a small paper. "Pop quiz, no books or help from the other students," he whispered.
"Thanks," Hanoashi smiled, before taking the quiz to her desk. Okay, let's see here,She mused quietly. If X + Y=Z - 5 and Z is 10, huh? Great...it's this stinking mess again. She scratched her head until she saw that the teacher had wrote something on the board.
X=7, pop quiz hint.
Well that helps, She mused.Okay then, Z-5 is ten, so if X = 7 then Y must be -2! She inwardly let out a small squeal of joy, feeling the same rush she had felt when given a test back at the orphanage.
All too soon she found class ending for the day, and Hanoashi found herself walking along with Kazuto.
"You sure you are okay?" Kazuto asked for the third time.
Hanoashi let out a small sigh. "Kazuto, I'm alright. My foot is just sprained is all, not the end of the world."
"I'm just worried about you sis, that's all," Kazuto sighed.
"I appreciate that brother, but really, I'm fine," she insisted.
"Tamika should be expelled for what she did," He growled out of the blue.
"Thymella told me she had attracted you before, is it true?" Hanoashi asked.
Kazuto shook his head. "Thymella's a good kid, why she'd involve herself with a girl like Tamika I'll never know," he sighed in sorrow.
"Actually...Thymella admitted she broke up with Tamika about four days ago," Hanoashi admitted.
Kazuto snorted. "Good! It's about time she realized what a prick she was." He then hung his head in same briefly. "Sorry, I know I shouldn't talk like that in front of my sis, it's just..." he paused, trying to find the words.
"It's alright Kazuto, I understand you are mad," Hanoashi soothed. "One thing I don't get though. If Tamika is so Xenophobic, then why did she and Thymella start dating?"
"Well, it certainly is true that Tamika is Xenophobic" Kazuto admitted. "But she only get's that way toward people who don't have any sign of Japanese heritage and Thymella does have Japanese facial features, so as far as she's concerned, Thymella's alright."
"I...see," Hanoashi admitted, although she had the gut feeling that the situation. "Well, I guess about the only thing I can do now is get over my sprained leg and prepare for tomorrow," she added.
"Wanna play Halo Co-op?" Kazuto asked.
"Sure!" she beamed, feeling better.
When she had gotten home, she noticed that Midori was waiting for her, a look of concern across her face.
"I've brought a small table into your room so that you could eat up there for supper," Midori admitted.
"Ah...thank you," Hanoashi breathed, dreading moving up and down the stairs. Fortunately, there was a half bath, so she wouldn't half to go back downstairs until morning.
End of chapter character facts:
Rikona was originally Hanoashi's cousin, hence why she seemed excited to see Rikona at first.
Aacob was designed as a more aggressive version of Shino Asada, although that aggressiveness manifest itself in more ways then one. Ironically the female version of Aacob is much more verbally aggressive than the formerly male version we see in New Shino.
Thymella's name is one of the most random names I've come up with in a fanfic, and is one of the few names not derived form either an American or Japanese name.
Although Tamika's role in Legends of the Shadnowclan Rebirth was inspired by the complicated relationship between Thymella and her girlfriend's relationship in Acer's morality, Tamika is a totally different entity than Thymella's girlfriend in that particular story.
